THE NEGRO RIOTS.
A disorderly spirit, steadily growing
ameng the negroes since the publication of
Cameron's military order relative to the
South, is creating alarm even among the
Republican leaders. Gov. Chamberlain,
of South Carolina, is getting alarmed for
the safety of that State, and the Republi
can leaders there would be glad had Cam
eron's order never have been issued. When
Senator Patterson in bitterness of soul
swore, "we've got to raise hell some how
with the niggers, and get the troops down
there, or the damned rebels will carry the
election in spite of us," little did he and
his Thug accomplices dream that like a
boomerang it would turn upon them.
However inelegantly Mr. Patterson ex
pressed himself, it was in obedience to his
and other kindred spirit demands that the
Grant-Cameron order was issued. The
political negro leaders give the interpre
tation to the order that was intended by
Grant and Cameron themselves, that the
army-is intended to protect the negroes in
anything they shall see fit to do in the
name of the Republican party, and the
negroes, especially in 3uch localities as
Charleston, where they are in an over
whelming majority, now are told and be
lieve that the army is behind them,
and they will be protected in doing any
thing that may be necessary to carry the
election. Taking advantage of tbe order
which places the army at their backs, the
negroes have gone so far in acts of violence
as to alarm the Republican leaders, who
are now appealing for statements denying
the covert acts of the negroes.
The colored riots in South Carolinahave
created great uneasiness among the Re
publican leaders. The unexpected phase
the colored issue has taken appals them,
and they are eagerly endeavoring to have
a denial of the statement that the negroes
wantonly attacked a peacible body of their
own race. The color line was not drawn
when the negro assailed his fellow be
cause they differed in political faith.
The
greatly to be blamed for assailing his
brother even unto death for the mere dif
ference ot political opinion, when he is
told by the President and his cabinet that
they shall be sustained in any and every
overt act that will tend toward the elec
tion of the Republican ticket. The order
of Grant apd his War Secretary to the ne
groes of the South is such as to say, that
Beither life nor property nor the public
peace shall be allowed to Jstand in the way
of party success, and the negro has given
proof of his obediance to the President
and Secretary's instructions, by murdering
their brothers in Charleston. The Presi
dent, hu Secretary of War, his Attorney
General, and all the carpet-bag thieves of
the Soath are responsible for the lawless
and murderous acts of the negroes of
South Carolina. It was black against
black—it was causeless and lawless, and
the dead and wounded of that encounter,
give testimony of the teachings of a mili
tary order that defies all law, and of the
instructions from the Attorney General
which pervert the authority of the Gov
eramnnt to spread disorder and death
For every maimed, wounded and killed
dtisen of Charleston, the responsibility I
must rest directly upon the politioal lead- 1

BOGUS DIPLOMAS.
A trunk full of bogus diplomas was cap
tured at the Appraiser's Department of the
Philadelphia Custom House, on Wednes
day last. A box was opened for examina
tion, and was found to contain a large lot
of beautifully executed certificates to the
effect that the holder had attended all the
important clinics at the Hospital of the
University. The certificates are attrac
tively printed, and well calculated to invite
the attention and investment of the army
of scamps who traffic in the sources of im
mediate medical graduation. Police offi
cers are in search of one Doctor John
Buchanan. It is probable from the char
acter of the offence, and the attempted in
vasion of the laws of the United States,
that steps will be taken in the matter by
the Government, and national detectives
will soon be after Mr. Buchanan. Besides
Mr. Buchanan, it is reported that there are
other Philadelphia gentlemen who revel in
luxury and enjoy the confidence of the
citizens, who are partners of Mr. Buchanan
in this nefarious business, and if he is
caught it is thought he will not stand the
entire odium of the fraudulent diploma
business.
THAT INCOME TAX.
I man screws down his brakes in a Royal
1 Colony.
The subject of Governor Tilden's in
come tax for the year 1862, which at first
seemed a comparatively small matter, has
been pushed into great prominence in the
campaign. Mr. Tilden is- charged with
dishonesty, on not giving in his income re
turn for 1862, a charge of $10,000 on ac
count of professional services rendered the
Terre Haute Railroad company. The ser
vices were rendered prior to 1862, and it
has been decided that income received in
1862 from services rendered prior to that
time is exempt from the income tax of that
year, and Mr. Tilden istherefere not guilty
of any dishonesty in not returning the
$10,060 fee with income of 1862. The tax
was only intended for the gains of that
year, otherwise every man who had failed
to receive his dues for a series of years
would be compelled to pay income tax on
it. The law did not intend that sarvices
rendered in years previous should be in
cluded in the income of that year. Ac
cording to the best authority the income
derived in 1862 from services rendered
a
is
prior to 1862, could be excluded without
dishonesty. This subject which has re
ceived so much prominence within (he laBt
two or three weeks should receive
a qua
tus.
Mosby, the guerrilla chief of the Shen
andoah, stalks into the White House,
shakes the fist of the laureled hero of Ap
pomatax, sticks his feet under the Presi
dential table, and demands a government
position for one of his rebel gang, and the
Philadelphia "Times" hints to Governor
Pollock that if he don't stop flaunting the
bloody flag, Mosby will ask for peace and
comity between States, and demand that
one of his guerilla's be placed at the head
of the Philadelphia Mint. The "Times"
asks: "What would Civil Service Re
form be to Pollock without a Mint to de
monstrate on."
Philadelphia politics are becoming very
much snarled. There is an entanglement
in each party. The Republicans have
started up an internecine war which
promises to culminate in the disruption of
the party at the December primaries, if not
before the Presidential election, and the
leaders of the Democracy are fighting
to which faction shall control the party
machinery and let it out to the highest
bidder.

The Brooklyn Bridge Company will
shortly pass two more cables over the East
river in the same way the first cables were
passed. It is supposed that the Brooklyn
bridge when completed will last forever.
It is intended to link New York to Brook
lyn until the great Australian of Mac
Cauley has sketched the ruins of London
from its great bridge, and comes hither in
search of a similar subject.

Grant and Cameron should send troops

Ex-Governor Pollock, of Pennsyl
vania, is giving the people of the west
scraps of history. He is enlightening
them by telling them that Lincoln was
assassinated, and that a Democrat called

Tbe Widow of Michael Noonan.
Mrs. Letitla Noonan, aged ninty years,
died at her home iu the Big Woods, Har-.
ford county, on Monday afternoon. She
was the widow of Michael Noonan, an
American sailor, who was impressed into
the British service at the breaking out of
the war of 1812. Learning that war had
been declared he refused to fight against his
country. For his refusal he was cruelly
beaten by order of the British commander,
and thrown into Dartmoor prison. He took
'part in both the unsuccessful attempts to es
cape from that terrible place, and carried
the scars of his captivity to the day of his
death, which occurred ten or twelve years
ago.
T. F. Bdyard oaa Taft's Order.
In answer to the inquires of an inter
viewer as to what he thought of Attorney
General Taft's laft order turning over to the
South to military law, Senator Bayard of
Delaware said:
"No document so partisan, so reckless of
all constitutional limitations upon power, so
regardless of historical truth, so utterly in
subordinate to the decisions of the Supreme
Court of tbe UDited Stated, has in the his
tory of our country issued from a depart
ment; not only acting as all departments
should act, under tbe sanction of the law,
hut look to all other departments of the ex
ecutive as itself the fountain of law for
them.
Young Men's Christian Association.
The statement that the Young Men's
Christian Association of this city is em
barrassed has proved true. A representa
tive of the Morning Herald called at the
rooms of the Association on Saturday night
and learned from the Clerk that the em
harassment was not very great,only seventy
five dollars, which is owing for rent, and
this would not have been but for the fact
that there are two hundred members of the
Association out of employment who have
not been able to pay up their dues. But the
members of the Association have arranged
a plan that it is is thought will be success
ful Each one takes so many envelopes
which he distributes among his friends. In
each of these envelopes will be placed a
penny a day, and are collected daily by the
association. In this way an amount suffi
cient to liquidate the indebtedness of the
concern can be easily collected. Funds will
also be wanted to assist in putting in fur
niture and making improvements that are
needed. The rooms now present a very
neat and cheerful appearance, and during
the past winter were patronized numerous
ly. The membership is large, and but for
the large numbers out of work who are un
able to meet their obligations to the associ
ation, it would be free of indebtedness. It
is to be hoped those who can will furnish
contributions, for as an inscription upon the
envelopes sent says. "It is more blessed to
give than to receive."

Mr. Cooper's Declination,
The Declination of Mr. R. G. Cooper to
run upon the Legislative ticket of the Dem
ocratic party, has awakened the liveliest
gossip in New Castle. It is stated by the
Democratic people of that city that Mr.
Cooper has been a beneficiary of the Demo
cratic party, having held one of Its most
lucrative positions for two terms, and that
the party justly claims his service; st even
a small sacrifice to himself. But this Mr.
Cooper does not seem to recognise, and hu
