A negro was hung down in one of
those immaculate Southern States
last week, charged by somebody, with
attempt to commit rape upon a while
girl. It is not, we are safe in saying,
the love of virtue among the chival
ry, who think nothing of gratifying
their bestial instincts on the wives
and daughters of the colored people,
but it is their love of murdering ne
groes. A mere rumor on some black
man they do not like, is all
the pretext thoy nesd to hang him to
the limb of a tree.
Senator Thurman, prospective De
mocratic candidate for President, said
in his stammering effort to answer
Blaine, that "wealth and intelli
gence" must govern at the ballot box.
Blaine and tbo Republican party say
majorities and fair elections must
govern. The President enunciated
Republican doctrine and the very life
and soul of Americanism, when he
declared that every enfranchised citi
zen has the right to cast one unintim
idated ballot and to have that ballot
fairly counted. Aud there will be no
oeB$tion of agitation, no harmony,
and thero ought to be none, until this
prinoiple, accorded by all sections,
prevails.

The South has renewed its old game
of brag and threatening. It threaten
ed warand dissolution if Fremont was
emoted. It declared it would not Bub

overBrackenbridge; and it did not
until it was whipped into submission.
Ths following from a leading South
Carolina paper, the Columbia Regis
ter, is a familiar snarl and not at all
scary:
"If the people in this country eleot
Grant President in 1SS0, a war will
follow, the terrors and magnitude of
which will far exceed the frightful
example of the past history."
The violators of law and conatitu-:
tional rights down there may, with
their rifles, intimidate negroes 'and
steal their ballots, but the supporters
of General Granttreatwith contempt
all such attempts at intimidation.
They demand an uniutimidated bal
lot and fair election in the South and
North, and that he who receives a ma
jority of the electoral votes must be
the President.
The Finances.
Special to the Inter Ocean.
Washington, Dec, 18. At 1 o'clock
this afternoon Secretary Sherman re
ceived a dispatch stating that gold
opened at par. He remarked to your
correspondent that this was as he ex
pected, and he did not believe gold
would again be above par with the
amount of gold at hand, and in the
near approach of the time of paying
it out and he thoughtit impossible for
a premium, however small, to exist.
He thought, however, that within a
short time greenbacks would be at a
very slight premium above gold, ow
ing to their greater convenience. The
Secretary Is still receiving! congratu
latory dispatches from all sections of
the country upon'the assured success
of resumption, and many are from
so-called Greenbackers, who say they
prefer resumption and solidity in fi
nance, provided it can be maintained.
A Democratic editor in Missouri sends
a long dispatch, giving extracts from
recent editorials assailing Sherman
aud speaking of his tyranny over the
people. This, the editor says, he now
takes bock, as geld is at par and re
sumption assured. The Secretary
called the attention of your correspon
dent to a coincidence. To-day being
the first entire day that gold was at
par, the receipts from customs and in
ternal revenue were exaotly the same
$301,100 each, the former in gold
and the latter in currency. This is
the first time this has happened, and
Treasury officials think it remarkable.
The New York &un, the ablest
Democratic paper published,aays of
Senator Blaine's speech :
"Never before, in a long public ca
reer, has Blaine taken such pains
with a speech ; neverj before has he
had such cause to take pains. Every
paragraph, sentence, word, haB been
weighed, and he has said in half an
hour what a clumsier speaker would
have taken six hours to say. He has
mingled provocation with modera
tion, and hns said;jonough to excite
the susceptibilities of the South with
out startling the conservatism of the
North. A less expert politician would
have frantically waved the bloody shirt
but Blaine has not done this, know
ing a trick worth two of it. Ho has-
not sought to enlist the sympathy of
tho .North for the bulldozed negro vo
ters, but? has touched at once the
available issue, asking the white peo
ple of the Northern Statea : "Are you
willing that the white men of tile
Southern States, who fought against
the Uuion, shall have twice as much
weight in choosing lis rulers and ma
king its laws as .you have who foujrht
for it? Is every vote cast by a white
man of the South to count as much
as two votesj cast by white men fin
the North ?
The substance of Blaine's tirade are
the charges of election "outrages" iu
the south ; that the entire colored
vote of the South is the property of
the Republican party. Nebraska Ci
ty Neica.
Last week'we printed the'epeech'to
which the News refers. Can any of
our readers fiudjanywliere in that
speech a sentence to justify a newspa
per in representing it as the; above
paragraph does ? Not one. No distor
tion of deflnitioncan make it appear
"that Blaine claimed that the entire
colorod votefof the South is'.theproper
tyof theRepublicau party," hencejthe
Neios utters falsehood made out of
wholeeloth.F If Mr.? Blaine made
such a claim why does the Isiews not
quote juBt 'asingie'isentence, if no
more, to back up the assertion ? Ah,
itjdoesn't quote a word, because there
is not a word to bear out and justify
8Uoh an inference. Wo well fknew.
and said, what such aiders and apolo-
gizers of frauds as the Neius would do
and day In their chagrin over'.Blaine's
terrible array of facts that it would
be by subterfuges and lies.
There is no other man out of the U.
8. Senate so much needed in it at the
time, as John A. Logan of Illinois.
The election, to that place, of no oth
er man would cause such universal re
joicing among the old Union soldiers,
and the loyal people of tho nation ;
and the election of no other man to
the Senate is so much dreaded by the
Democracy : and for these reasons the
efforts of the Democraoy to defeat him
will bo greater than it would be to de
feat any other man. Although Logan
will have a large majority of the Re
publicans of the legislature, we can
scarcely hope for his election, for we
can scarcely hope that the entire Re
publican delegation will stand, solid,
together, and above and beyond the
hoodwinking fAcilitiea of Democratic
schemers.
Western Nebraska appears to be a
sortof murderers' paradise. Nino mur
ders have been committed there in a
single week, and the Governor declar
ed that owing to the want of money,
he is powerless to bring the assassinB
to punishment. N. Y. Herald.
The Herald is about correct, but the
Governor, we understand, will ask
the legislature for an appropriation to
prosecute the murderers, ifcaught. He
has acted in some of the oases to the
extent authorized by law offered a
reward of $200 for the criminal. And
it does seem that Western Nebraska
is a sort of murderers paradise. A man
would be as safe, as to life and prop
erty, in Sittine Bull's camp, as in
some localities in the western part of
this State.

When John Dillon, the comedian
was about to leave Lincoln the other
day, & constable stepped to the front
and attached his trunk, for some lit
tle bill he had not liquid-ated. He
then paid the bill and took his trunk
with him.
Republicans everywhere, except,
perhaps a little ring in his own State
about big enough to defeat him by
joining tbetDemocrats, are anxious to
see General Logan returned to the U.
S. Senate from Illinois this winter.
North Platte, Neb., Dec. 20. A
party of fourteen mounted Indians
raided Walker's ranohe, eight miles
weBt of here this morning, driving
away eight horses. They also got a
few head of horses at Randall's
ranche, and one from Long's. The
Sheriff of Lincoln County, with a
posse of citizens and a squad of sold
iers from Ft. McPheison, are in pur
suit. They hope to overtake the raid
ers on Loup River. As this is the
third time Indians have raided this
vicinity without being pursued, it is
thought they will not expect it du
ring this cold snap.
