At the South, the Satraps have or

These will be, if possible, more farcical
than those that have occurred in Mis

and radicals will carry each one of
them. But if they sdiould do so, it
will only the more surely contribute to

only demanded legal tender.
This plan has in .it all these advan
tages :
1st It frees the country o all its
revenue assessors, collectors, clerks,
spies, pimps, and the army of ubsand
hangers-on, the sponges on tin public
treasury. This standing arm of mer
cenaries, these sevenfold pUsues of
Egypt, curses every avenue of business
and obstructs all of our trade.
21 This mode of paying off the pub
lie debt would rid us of tariffs, execi
pps, revenue taxes, stamps, r ml of all
the modes of oppression w'iidi now

legt.-i.ation of the times. Hut the issue
of the legal tender in payment of bonds
will cost us no interest,' whilst the bank
notes cost us ut least n I teen per cent,
per annum, independent of the bonds.
This plan takes the money, banks
and corruption funds out of legislation,
courts, and the General and State Governments-of
the count ry. This plan
gives to the lovers of paper money ail
of this kind of pabulum which the
strongest stomach may desire, and w hat
is more, the very best kind of paper
money that which the Government
has declared a legal tender.
Third After these bonds have been
thus been paid oil', let the courts of the
State, by direction of the Legislature
and the United States couits, by direc
tion of Congress enforce the law
which is now, and always has been, in
the United States, that nil debts con
tracted after January, LSGS, shall be
paid in gold and silver, but that all ca
ses of indebtedness occurring during
the years 1SG1 and lsd8 shail not be
entertained for the recovery of gold and
silver.
Dr. Livingstone.
The British ship Highflyer, which
has been successfully engaged for twelve
months past in intercepting the dhows
employed in the slave trade on the
Mozambique and Zannibar coast, has
forwarded letters which confirm the
impression becoming continually more
distinct that Ir. Livingstone is still
alive. The Sheik of Kiel war informed
the ollicers of the Highflyer that was
the cae, although many of the I'oe
tor's followers had been killed in a fight
with the natives.
lladlcals claim that if the negro had
had an opportunity he would have been
far more intelligent. The remark is
perhaps true of the negro in this coun
try ; but does it not reflect severely
upon the radical idea of negro suffrage ? j debt that the load of taxation may be

least he wiil be unfit for a long time to

But what has the negro ever done at
home in his native land. Nothing,
and never will. For oOOO years the
Egyptians tried to civilize, and make
something out of him ; but failed. They
could not inculcate in him rules of com
merce, or teach him even the rudiments
of the arts and sciences, or so far bel
ter his condition as to keep him steadi

Repudiation.
The Pittsburg Bepublic asks: "Who
are the rejmdiators 1'"' To which the
Springfield ( Mo.) Leader truthfully and
emphatically replies: Hankers, who
received and receipted for gold on de
posit, after t he passage of the legal
tender act, refused to pay the deposi
tors in coin, and the courts decided
that they had no right to do so, for
greenbacks were the only legal tender
recognized by law in the United States !
The gold the broker thus cheated
his customer out of was sold for green
backs, the broker getting three dollars
in greenbacks for one in gold. These
greenbacks lie turns into bonds, dollar
for dollar, and he now denounces all
who wish to pay the debt in the same
kind of currency in which i: was cre
ated, as repudiators. There are thou
sands of instances of the kind we have
narrated, and the party press of the
so-called Bepubliean party join the
money changers in their abuse of all
who thus wish to nay off the national
Over thirty millions of people to be
ruled by ti c puritans and the negro !
This is the result of four years of ter
rible war ; the sacrifice of two hundred
thousand lives; the sinking of national
morality; the wrecking of commerce;
the ruin of our agricultural interests;
the imposing upon our couniry a debt
of three thousand millions of dollars.
The mad revolutionary element that
blindly urges the nation fo ruin still
continues its race.
