Senator Blaine made a most effect
ive speech online 14th inst. while the
army appropriation was under con

Mr. Blaine, there are 1,155 soldiers to
intimidate, over-run, oppress, aud
destroy the liberties of 15 millions of
people in 1,203 counties, aud not quite
'one soldier to each county one sol
diers to about 700 voters The
real motive of the Democratio party
must be looked for elsewhere. It is
simply to get rid of federal elections
to get rid of the civil power of the
United StateB in the election of rep
resentatives to Congress. Mr. Blaine
concluded as follows : "I don't pro
fess to know, Mr. President, what the
President of the United States will do
when these bills are presented to him
aB I suppose in due course of time
they will be, I certainly should never
speak a single word of disrespect of
the gentleman holding that exalted
position, and I hope I shall not speak
a word unbefitting the dignity of the

from St. Helena, reached out and

Dr. George J. St. Louis, who was to
have been hanged at Wahoo, last Fri
day, for the crime of wife murder,
about ao'olook Friday morning drew
a pistol from beneath the bed clothing
In bis cell and placing the muzzle just
above his right car, sent a ball crush
ing through his brain. The unfortu
nate man was confined in the jail at
Fremont, for safe keeping, and at the
hour named he had risen from his bed
by order of his guards to get ready for
the Journey to Wahoo, Saunders coun
ty, where the- gallows awaited him.
St. Louis got up, and was sitting on
the side of the bed, when he remark
ed, "Well, I suppose I have got to
go," and believing no doubt that
then was his last opportunity to es
cape being hanged, and having the
pistol for this emergency, and no
guardsman being nearer him than ten
or twelve feet, he suddenly drew from
beneath the corner of a blanket, tho
cooked revolver, and fired. He lived,
but remained unconscious uutil the
20th at 2:30 o'clock, when he breathed
his last. It was not ascertained where
he procured the weapon with which
he cheated the gallows of its prey.
While the testimony aud circum
stances were very much against him,
and a large quantity of poison was
found in his wife's stomaoh, yet there
were suflioientgrOunds upon which to
found a very reasonable doubt of his
guilt.
Mr. Teller said the Democratic par
ty had heretofore always sustained
the exercise of the veto power by a
Democratic President. This law had
existed fourteen years without being
objeoted to by the opposite party, and
if it was unconstitutional he thought
it a strange fact that it had just been
discovered, the prop6r plaoe to test the
validity of law was in the courts. He
quoted from a decision of Judge Sto
rey In 1816. that the constitution had
stripped the states of the highest at
tributes of sovereignty and conferred
the same upon tho United States gov
ernment. This doctrinehad been ac
cepted by all parties until now, and
in 1850 the United States senate rec
ognized its force by prescribing regu
lations for elections in the state of
Delaware, etc. He quoted other judi
cial decisions supporting his assertion
and eaid that the constitutionality of
the law being established, the only
question was as to expediency or pol
icy of retaining it. He himself depre
cated use of the army to enforce civil
process except in extreme oases, but
the Democrats had not always been
so afraid of military power as they
now are. Mr. Beck had quoted from
a speech made by Seward in 185G, pro
testing against the use of the army,
but Mr. Teller proposed to show that
on that occasion Seward was earnest
ly combatting a Democratic plan to
send the army in Kansas to force cer
tain odious laws of territorial legisla
ture. Seward had denounced these
laws as subversive of the right of free
speech and freo press but not a Dem
ocrat voted with him to keep them
from enforolng them. If his friend
Beok could extract anything from
such facts tosupport the present Dem
ocratio policy, he had read history
carelessly. Mr. Teller said the Dem
ocratio cry saemed to be for a free bal
lot. All frauds on the ballot for the
last twenty years he said omauated or
had been to the advantage of the
Democratic party. He oited frauds
fn Kansas in 1S52 and 1S54, in Louisi
ana in 1864, and In New York Clly in
1868. He then reviewed at consider
able length the testimony taken be
fore, the committee of which he was
chairman and deolared that even
white Democrats in good standing
testified to lawlessness and intimida
tion at eleotions to prevent colored
people from voting as they desired in
Louisiana aud South Carolina. Mr.
Teller said he did not know what the
President would do, but he did not
think any threat to deprive the army
of its sustenance would affect the ac
tion of any Republican senator nor of
the President.

Speech.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
With the Republicans It is univer
sally believed that the President will
veto the army appropriation bill on
acoount of the political legislation at
tached to it by tho Democrats ; but he
has never indicated in any way what
he would do regarding the matter.
Republicans believe it because they
all want him to do so, because it is in
his line of duty to do so, because the
.Republicans in Congress are unani
mous in urging him to do so, because
he himself is a Republican, and be
cause It will be consistent with his
often avowed determination to protact
the freed men in their politioal rights.
And one of the best reanous for bo
llevlng Ihe President wilt Interpose
Jiis veto is that in IiIb last annual mes
sage late pointed reference to reported
frauds on the ballot box in the South,
Warrants the opinion that be has Irre-.
fragable evidence that suoh, (rauds

The Observer, published In Now Or
leans, gives the reason for the exodus
of the colored people, thus :
Almost daily explanations are giv
en, by the press Why the negroes are
leaving the South and going North.
Hear the true one L
Cotton lauds that would not com
mand, under forced sales, more than
Sldper acre, are rented to tho negroes
for from $7 to $9 a year per aore. A
good mule and plow is worth $150.
For the use of these the laborer pay
from $30 to $40 per year. A barrel of
pork is worth say $10 In the city. The
negro pays from 10 to 121 cents a
pound on the plantations.
This Is a sample of what goes ou
with the land owners and laborers,
both on the sugar and cotton estates.
A man cannot cultivate in a hot oli
mate like this more than seven acres
of cotton or cane and three of corn.
A bale of cotton, or hogshead of su
gar, and twenty barrels of corn is
considered an average yield. Deduct
the expenses of the laborer from the
present prices of cotton, sugar, and
corn, and find the balance if you can.
Why, then, talk of "Yankee" emis
saries and circulars, or the fear of re
enslavement? These are sufficient to
depopulate the South, and are the na
ked truth besides.
Dr. Miller, of the Omaha Herald,
thanked Gov. Nance for promptly fur

gress, on tho "trupe"" question, he

The Mobile Register warnB Presi

determination to veto Democratic
measures "it may be necessary for
Congress to consider very seriously

olution which was aoted upon on the
3d of Maroh, 1877, to the effect that

The emigration fever has reached
the colored people of Virginia. Far

The extra session of Congress has
cost the nation heavy in reputation
and about $350,000 in money up to the
present. At no time is history has a
party made a greater blunder than
the Democratio party did In making
the called session a necessity. No
disinfectants will preveut it smelling
in the nostrils of honest men before
the hot months end.
I stand here, Mr. Logan said, to
warn the men who attempted to de
stroy the government, that in tam
pering with It they must not go to
far. Loyal men have not forgotten
the perils they endured and the sac
rifices they made to save the country
and protect free citizens. They are
slow to believe what they do not wish
to believe, but if the democrats force
the issue on the country the people
will be compelled to raise and. save
their rights from destruction. There
will be no half way then. A spirit
of kindness is passing into another
feeling. I tell them they are going
too far and are troubling the people.
The sore ouoe occasioned will be re
moved only by radioal means. It will
be out beyond that wound to make
the sore complete. In common with
thousands of others I sincerely hoped
and expected that the democracy of
both the noath and the south would
interpret the desire of the country for
peace; but to-day I must confe&s I
have been mistaken. The extreme
conciliation extended to them lias
not been met in a similar spirit, but
with an aggressiveness which fills the
country with alarm and apprehen
sions. Duty commands that we8hould
speak plainly. I make open charge
that the democrats are tampering
with the interests of the country, and
to this the people are awake. I
charge the democratic party while
exressing a desire for peace and harm
ony with making attacks on the prin
ciples purchased with blood and
treasure. They are not sincere in
their professions of protecting the
constitution and they are engaged in
Its destruction. I make the charge
that eulogies are pronounced here up
on the arch traitor Davis as a patriot
in the presence of representatives of
the American people and government
he undertook to destroy. I charge
that the debt resting upon the coun
try growing out of the late war is
chargeable to the democratio party.
I arraign the democratio party as re
sponsible for whatever discord may
exist. The republican party wants
peace and have always desired it.
They not only desired peace but have
shown it by every concession which
honor and dignity would permit, aud
they would still make sacrifices to
secure permanent peace; but the
democracy may as well learn now as
later that republicans will do nothing
to give peace that is dishonorable to
them or to the country. They will
not beg on their knees for reconcilia
tion. They will not relinquish the
principles which inured to the peo
ple, gained by the thirteenth, four
teenth and fifteenth amendments
to the constitution. They will not
permit any modification of the rights
of four millions of people of the fcouth,
who have been liberated from slavery
and admitted to the rights of citizen
ship. They shall not be remanded to
a condition of serfdom or peonage.
Let me invite them to a peace which
is honorable, aud which will make
us a model for all people for centuries
to come a peace whioh must be
built in the high respect of the citl
zons of a common country. It must
rest on concession of equal rights to
all citizens of the republic, black or
white, native or foreign born a
'peace that knows no state lines for ab
rogating the rights of Americans a
peace which would enable all people
to cluster around the American flag
as an emblem of their sovereignty,
patriotism and virtue; a people strong
enough to defy the power of the world
and wiio will protect the citizens in
all their constitutional rights on land
and sea, at home aud abroad, elevat
ing the great future of our country
clear and full in the blazing 3ulight
of our hope.

A Good Templar Lodge was never
intended to be a dancing club. The
Order does not assume to determine
the propriety or impropriety of dano

many members opposed to it, and in
asmuch as dancing is no essential help
to or part of temperance work, the
Order says we will hav6 nothing to
do with it, and lodges whioh engage
in it forfeit their oharte: therebv. It
ought to be so. A lodge which finds
it necessary to turn itteif Into a bail

far outlived its usefulness and becomes
a discredit to the order. Irue wi

yet of a oharter being taken from a

has cursed the order .with too much

subordinate lodges dance or not.
Subordinate lodges are really bound

Resolutions were adopted affirming

TnE NEGRO EXODUS.
ViCKSRURG, Miss., April 15. The
negro exodus still continues to a limi
ted extent, every St. Louis paoket
taking away some of the emigrants.
It is reported that at all the landings
between here and Memphis tlie ne
croes are awaiting transportation, al
though steamhoat owners do not en
courage it. The Importance in which
the exodus is held, and the feeling of
anxiety which It has aroused, is indi
cated by the call of prominent citi

a meeting to consider the exodus, and
takp measures to allay the excite
ment.
LAND CASE DECIDED IN FAVOR OF THE
UNION PACIFIC.
Washington, April 21. The case
of W. H. Piatt versus the Union Pa
cific railroad company involving the
right of settlers to pre-empt lands
granted by Congress to the company
under section three of the aot of July
1, 18G2, was decided in the United
States supreme court this afternoon.
The act referred to provided that all
lauds granted to the company should
be liable to pre-emption if not "sold
or otherwise disposed of" within
three years after the completion of
the entire road. On the 3d of Sept.,
1878. the secretary of the interior de
cided the mortgage executed by the
committee upon lands in 1867 was not
a "disposal" of the same within the
meaning of that statute. This court,
however, reverses the decision of the
interior department aud holds that
the mortgage was such disposal, and
that consequently the tract of laud
claimed by complainant was not open
to pre-emption when he undertook to
pre-empt It, and he has not an equit
able title. Deoree affirmed. Justice
Strong delivered the opinion. Justices
Bradley, Clifford and Miller dissenting.

A member of Congress rushed to
the footlights and deolared that "the
editor of the Okolona Southern States
was aa Ohio carpet bagger.'' As Hurd
and Thurmau were both from Ohio,
and the similarity was great, every
body hesitated to deny it. But the
Memphis Avalanch steps forward
with this statement: "It won't do to
charge the crazy editorials in the
Okolona States on the Ohio carpet
bagger. Colonel Harper was the wild
eyed boy of destiny who runs the ma
chine; and, if he isn't a Southerner,
the race is extinct." And the Ava
lanch might have added bo is about
the bonestestDemooratio politician in
the whole lot. Whatever his utter
ances, we know where to And them.
