SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 11, 1814.
South Carolina and the President.
On our first page, this morning, we pub
ft-h an account of the interview of the
6 uth Cttroliua Taxpayers with President
tirant, and tbe address delivered by Mr.
Porter, tbe chairman of tbe committee, to
which we referred last Saturday ; and, al
so, tbe very courteous and ttatcimanlikc
answer af Geir. Grant.
We call tho attention of onr readers to
Mr. Porter's address as portraying the
cnndittMi of tbe people of South Caroliua
under tbe management of the Republican
party. That party stylos itself tbe party
vf reform and with a loud voice and trum
pet fleuri- It proclaims that its deeds are
good and all its aims just. South Caroli
na, Louisiana, Mississippi aud Arkansas
are Imug refutations of their arrogant
claims.
Influenced by a prejudico and hatred
skin to fiendishocss, and by an insatiable
desire to keep political power iu their own
bends, tho Republican leaders conferred
rttffrnge npon a class totally unfit for it,
and have thereby placed the absolute con
tint of the governments of those unfortu
nate States, where sueh people arc in a
majority, in the bauds of nten who, beiDg
wholly without property as they are with
out intelligence, education and principle,
gather together in the Legislative Halls
and make enactments robbing the treasu
• y and misappropriating the fundi, which
tiny seek to recuperate by a system of
grinding taxation which is takiug away
the property of thousands of citizens who,
unable to pay tho enormous taxes laid
upon them, arc forced to see their home
steads »old beneath the tax-gatherer's ham
mer aud themselves powerless to prevent
it The address of the Tax-payers of
South Carolina shows an existing condi
tion of affairs in that State perfectly appal
ling, ahd this the Radicals call "reform."
Wc call attention to South Carolina be
cause wo regard hcr condition as a fair
specimen of the "reform" which the Rad
icals seek to inaugurate iu all the Old
Slave States. Not tbBt suck a state ot
things would he established in Delaware,
sliouhl the Kepnblieaus gain power, for
the material of which that party is com
posed at the S' oth, and which forma a
large part of tho strength here, is not suf
ficient to enable them to bring it about.
Rut the disposition is the same, and, once
in power, there woulJ be no limit ut which
they would stop and no step which they
would decline to tako provided they could
thereby retain control of the government.
Men, or a political party, who will de
liberately, in order to gratify an inhuman
malice, give over one of the Stales of the
Union to the control of ignorance and vice,
arc not the men with whom to entrust po
litical power.
The time is rapidly approaohing when
llie peoplu of Delaware will again be called
upon te make choice af rulers. With tbe
picture of South Carolina held up before
their eyes there is but little to induce them
to trust tbeir State in tbe bands of the so
called " reformera." Tbe Radicals, of
coarao, disavow all iuteutioos of introduc
ing auch a state of "reform'' here as exists
at tbe South. So they once bitterly and
solemnly protested that they had no in
tention ot conferring suffrage upon negroes
and of doing tnauy other things which they
bave since done, but when tbe power was
placed in their bands, bow speedily they
forgot their promises and declarations.

The Btste election in Connecticut last
Mnndny was a complete Democratic tri
umph. Governor Ingersoll was re-slected
by a majority of 1897 over both the Re
publican and Prohibition candidates. His
plurality over tbe Republican candidate,
H B. Harrieon, was 6,742 Both Houses
of the Legislature are largely Democratic,
the Senate standing 17 Democrats to 4
Republicans, and tho House 143 Demo
crat* to 96 Republicans aud 2 Independ
ents. Thie insures the return of a Demo
nrat le tbe U. S Senate in place of Sena
tor Buobingbani, whose term will expire
«io the 4th of March next.
At th* Municipal election iu Cincinnati,

We bare soen and read eo much of late
in regard to tbe disscusious exiitiog in
your raaki, of tbe sectional jealousies, the
"rings," tbe "two wings of tbe party"
by whatever other names you ms; cb
to call your differences of opinion, that
we wish our Democratic friends to avoid
•imilar pitfalls. We truly believe that
by thinking cahaly and deeply of tbe good
of the whole Slate they will be ready to
yield minor points of difference and to
ignore strong personal or sectional preju
dices.
In that article we addressed ourselves
especially to Democrats, but since you of
tbe opposition see fit to read it and to call
its teachings "good advice," may we not
add a ward to those Republicans who can
and will think?
Dare you assert that in the whole of
your party one respectable white man, a
Deluwurean by birth and education, could
pause and think seriously whither ho was
so carelessly drifting, and not shrink ap
palled from tbe utter ruin before him ?
Can Delaware Republicans—we do not
mean those fanatics who for years warred
against slavery and the South, but we re
fer to the men whose only fault has been
that they have blindly, thoughtlessly fol
lowed such leaders, can any reputable
white Delawarean think seriously what
your oivil Rights' bills call for, what Re
publican legislation means,aud cun he yet
cling to a party iucuhating such ideas?
Yet if you pause and think, Republicans,
you must see this, for perfect equality, so
cial a> well as political it a cardinal prin
ciple of tbe party to which you swear
fewlty
Again we nrge upon ail to think and
to decide for themselves. Your leaders d»y
arc content with those who blindly follow;
we want in our ranks all who dare assert »nd
their manhood and their capacity by in
depentcntly voting with that party which are
thought and experience teach them is safe t0
and right, with that Democmy which is tbe
of the paople, from the people, and whoso
mission is the good of the people.

Negroks at tub School Election.—
The negroes took u very prominent part
at the school election in this city on Sat
urday afternoon, and in every case voted
for men known to be Radical in their sen
timent». Now, negroes pay no school tax,
and are not voters in a strictly legal sense.
Their votes arc forced upon our people
contrary to our State laws. Notwithstand
ing this, some of the more brazen faced
blustered about the polls of the Fourth
Ward to such an extent that many orderly
and quiet white men of both parties left
the polls in disgust. So long as these ne
groes vote the Radical ticket our neigh
bors of that press pretend that it is all
right; but if they voted against the ltad
j icals, the notes of the Radical press would
J very soon be heard against their voting
without paying tax ns white men do. This
discrimination in favor of the negro is one
of the main feat ores of Radical legislation,
the next great feature is how beat to rob
th» public aud deplete the treasury.

committee for this county, appointed at the
great negro equality convention held at
New Castle a few weeks since, not having
the fear of God before his eyes, with mal

The Cuban War.
Tbe state ef Cuba is growing daily
more helpleaa. Financial embarrassment
is added to military failure, and every one
seta that the grand crash is coining.
From Havana we have the news of finan
cial failure aud disturbance, and from the
Central Department comes news of mili- at
t.ry dissstor. So far from the in.urrec
lion losiug strength th« troops gather»« -
to giv» the crushing blow, which hu» been :
impending for six years, but somehow j at
nevnr conics down, are rooted whenever j al
they leave their fortified strongholds.
So unfavorable has been tbe tide of war j CO
lately that the Spaniards can no longer j
conceal their revers«» from the outside \
tan
A
world. The Cuban forces under General
Gomez have operated in the neighborhood
of Puerto Principe during several mouths,
and every effort to disperse thorn has end
ed in defeat. So far as these repulses cau
he disguised they are ; but the constant
presence of a large Cubntt force in the
neighborhood of headquarters of the Span
ish army is the best answer tu pretended
victories that end with the hasty retreat of
the victors te tho nearest plase of shelter.
In spile of the recent re'iDforccmeuts of the
army by the enrolment of volunteers, the
Spaniards are unable to disburse the
patriot forces.
General Arminau's brigade has been
defeated at G uasimoclare, not far from
Puerto Principe, and obliged to abandon
their dead aud wounded to the enemy.
There is nothing decisive in these end
less battlos, but they go to show that the
Cubans are able to prolong tha war indefi
nitely, and that after six years of wasting
struggle they are more powerful in a mili
tary point of view tliau they were at the
outbreak oflbo iusurrf ction. The end of the
struggle is no longer doubtful. It may drag
on for years, exhausting the resources ot
both Spain and Cuba, but iu tbe end the
Spaniards will have to relax their grasp,
as they have had to do with all their A
