Ti'h.i-- u Ai.i Ui t Majur Merrill M ij'ir 1.KWI8 MVIililL, Ot tliC Sevh Cavalry (tor his eminent bang,,, in s services hi M.ss.,i-ki- . brevctte! lieutenant Colonel, mikI tor lrtlllrg w,lU, , with Woort houii.ls in Sotilli Carolina brevcttcd Uriga- - dier General) has arrested m tstireve port, Li., some of the best citizens of the Stale Messrs. Pike, Jacobs, 11. tr- ail, 1JihIm.iv, Mc Williams and nieuty others. The dwg" against them is treaoi against the United Slates Gov- ernment in that they have violated the Enforcement act. Merriil swears that these citizens 'did each and "every one of them, conspire to iu-- " liuiidate and control huiiu j ohs kVtal-"itie- d voters ii said district in ojLS' "cising Ihe right of suffrage, by " threatening to deprive said voters of 'employ men t, by" rel using to w contracts with said voter tor ' labor, in violation of a statute ot the United Slates." Whereupon Com- missioners Levis.se issues his wsrants, and Merriil arrests Ibe whole batch. Now, it is proper the readers of The World should understand the sort of treason for which Merrill, under sanction of United State stat- ute, lm arrested these citizens. Shreveport is iu au exclusively cot- ton country, ami I lie labor contra els made there are for work in the cot-to- n Held. These contracts are of two oris. First, between Ihe owner 01 a plantation. and the hands employed to till it. The owner agree with his hand to furnish tools, machinery, mules, and other stock and iheir lend, seed and fertilisers, provisions tor hands, clothes, pocket money, every- thing, provided the negroes will cul- tivate and secure the crop, and yiu it out and bale-i- afterwards, share and share-aliku- . lie advances everything tiie system is entirely a credit sys- tem and if his hands after liiug 011 him from February to -- September, choote to leave as the cotton is open- ing, he must lose, hot only bis crop but all his advances made upon the strength of his-cro- p. Yet it is trea- son against the United States Gov- ernment for a planter, so situated, to choose his hands to exercise a-.- y dis- cretion iu selecting Ihe individual ol whom he must extend this enormous and perilous credit. The otlters'sort of eoittr.-te- which Merrill construes H to be treason to have any discretion about is between the atockeepnrs and lh laborers. A iiciM'o rents so muck cotton laud. He has nothing, but he expects to make from the land so many bales of cotton us his share of (he crop. The nun he rents Irom furuiilie sed, 11, tile, and plouirh ; but will not lurnnh meal, clothing, tobacco, fcc Unless the laborer can get these be must stop work. Accordingly, he contracts with A ' storekeeper, opens a credit account with him to run nine or ten months, by which he is to receive his supplies and provisions, have them advanced to him, upon condition that, when the negro's crop i made he is to pay the storekeeper's bill in cotton ginned or unriuned. It is treason according to Major Merrill, constructive of the Enforcement act, for the storekeeper to exercise any discretion as to which negro he will trust and which he will not trust. Bring the matter home. Imagine a major of cavalry swearing out a war- rant against and arresting the proprie- tor of tbe Jtepublic, because he has dismissed- - a drunken "rat" ofa com- positor who is a Radical voter, "and "thereby threatening to deprive such 'voters ot employment." Imagine Major Merrill taking A. T. Stewart oil to the Tombs for refusing to per- mit oue of G rant's Custom-llous- e of- ficers to open an indefinite account with him upon the strength of pros- pective wages aud "knock-downs,- " thereby " threatening to refuse to re- new (he contract with said voter lor labor." But this is precisely what Major Merrill is doing in Louisana, under the pretence of securing the en- forcement of the fourteenth amend- ment to the Constitution World. Why Is It? Why is it that nine years alter the close of- - the war troops should be needed to do police duty iu Louisiana, Sou th Carolina and Ala- bama? Are they not completely un- der Republican rule? After this utter failure to "establish justice aud secure domestic tranquility" the party in power had better prepare to retire aud let the Democratic party try their hand. ' It is certain thata parly which iu addition to fostering the Credit Mobilier, back-pa- y grabs, Custom House abuses, Jaynes and Sanborn and third term projects, is incapable of keeping order in States governed by Republican officials without the aid of the army, 1 not fit. to be trusted with the destinies of this country. A year ago or so it was pronounc- ed that the Democratic party was dead, yet 011 and alter the 1st of Jan- uary next the following States will have Democratic Governors: New Hampshire, Massachn setts. Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Murylaud, Wc-- t Virginia, Virginia, (ieurgia, Alnlmmu. Texas, Arkau$as, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, MIsKOliri, Wisconsin, Oregon, Nevada. .Here are twenty-on- e Democratic Governors in thirty-seve- n States; aud it there had beeu a general elec-tbi- s year several more would have been chosen. Pretty good for a dead parly. s 1872 Grant had 150,000 majority in Pennsylvania, aud his party carried twenty-tw- o Congressmen to five Democrats. Now tbe Democrats elect their State ticket, and instead of five Congressmen, have sixteen of the twenty-seven- . This is a evolu- tion which, iu its magnitude, is quite unparalleled in our political history. Ami how wo have a "dead issue'' (Of shi tin. Tis tiie third term. States. In 1860 the value of the braes copper, cotton, woolen and rubber j goods, carriages, carts, candles, cbeth- - ! ing, hats aud caps, boots and shoes, "tone, &c, exported from this country was $20,307,168; while iu 1874 the ralue of the same exports was only $8,027,995, In 1860 these manufactures l. : . J I nnnnnA (tviff1 . were BuujcvLtru iu i itcuuo i ranging from 15 to 24 per ceat but now they are "protected" by a tariff from 33 to 140 per cent. The fact is that manufacturers in using ''protect- ed" raw material can not compete with those of other countries in the foreign j markets, and the sale of American goods is confined to Ibe United States ; Bunco the demand is not sufficient to keep the factories running. For in 1850, over ten million dol- -' lars' worth ot American cotton man- - ufactnres were sold in foreign markets, but the amount this year is only a tr;-fl- c over three millions. Is it any wonder that there is a surfeit of p?e- - ductions aud that our home markets are overstocked ? The World from which paper the foregoing figures are taken, says : Can a similarly disgraceful result be shown for the same period in the his- - tory of any other country outside of our own ? Or can any one wonder that the working classes are plunged in distress? The protected rnauutac- - turers have watered their stocks as in Massachusetts, where the original $10 of paid up slock represents hundreds of dollars ; they have had laws passed for their special benefit to make goods dear, aud have divided 100 per cent, profits annually. Tney have also given the deluded white slaves a pittance out of their earnings, aud now when grain sells below its coat of produc- tion, when cotton is lower than at any time since the war, aud the whole country is squeezed dry, these pro- tected manufacturers have, but one way to recuperate themselves. At tbe expense of their deluded white slaves they shorten the weekly labor by one-thir- d, and the starving opera-liv- e who earned four weeks ago $6 a week to maintain his family ot per- haps five or six souls must now be content to starve on $4 a week. The latest machiuery to do away with the use of ice, is of Cincinnati invention. The machine essentially consists of two cylinders, an upper and lower one. In the lower one the air Is compressed under a pressure of thirty-fiv- e pounds to the square inch. From this cylinder the compressed air is passed iu a condenser, in which tbe beat is abstracted by means of water. It is then led into another tank where it is deprived of its mois- ture. From this tank it is forced into the upper cylinder, where it is ex- panded and ia led by means of large wooden pipes into tbe cellars. It has jost been tested with satisfactory re- mits. Several Republican papers are making haste to retract compaign lies which they published, to the effect that Got. Allen is intemperate in his habits. THE MARKETS' Ravenna, November 11,1874.

Behold the Southern totatcu under q . . t colulition lnor. appa5lrjr ,nd more terrible. Murder aud death end- ed the sufferings of the gallant Poles. The people of the Southern States are suffering a living death. Ko hti-ma- n laugnage can exiggerate the Mtfjssd prejudice, and it presents a pic for of hopeless despair. It has al- - f ready touched, with its sorrow, every . . . patriotic heart iu the laud. Ihe jour- - nals of the highest character, represeu- - ting the Republican party, notably the SFeW York Times, ate casting their powerful influence in behalf of the oppressed people. The details pub- lished in the above mentioned jour- nal of Southern cruelties are hor- rible. The civil powers, laws, courts, ju- ries, judges aud other officers have been subordinate to partial law. In every county and city and village throughout Alabama, Louisi.ua, Sooth Carolina, and Georgia, a military satrap over-awe- s the people and rules with a rod of iron. There is no ap- peal against injustice' The people are neither safe iu their persons, houses, papers, and effects against un- reasonable searches aud seizures. War-rau- ts of arrest are issued unsupported by oath or affirmation, aud without even probable cause. Citizens are of liberty and property with- out due process of law. Kxeotsive bait is required, excessive fines impos- ed, aud cruel aud unusual punishment inflicted. A scene of wide-sprea- d disorder exists. States are in the hands of robbers and usurpers, society disorganized by banditti, public credit destroyed, the fields of agriculture which should now contribute tboir wealth of cotton to the prosperity of the country laid waste, labor is oppressed and the march of civilization itself turned back on the downward step to ruin. The horrible aud frightful details cannot all be'grren. Homes have no longer sanctity. Neither the rich man's palace nor the poor men's cottage es- cape the general ruin. Women and children are driven from home and treated with merciless brutality. How long, how long is the country to suffer? More than two hundred millions of dollars have been stolen from these poor people. Tbe cry is still tor vengeance. The world stands aghast at such scenes in a free coun- try. Tyranny points its lingers iu de-r- i son at our boasted land of liberty, and triumphantly asks if this be lib- erty and the South, how loug will it be before the North ma succumb ? Far better for the United State, that the party Shibboleth should be treason aud punished with dealh.. Lib- erty aud mortality, aud national pros- perity are infinitely above all party schemes and objects. Parties aud poli tics are becoming the deathly baue of institutions, absorbing all the nPf 1. sentiments, blunting the con sciences and destroying the sensibili- ties of the people. The clash of arms Is no longer heard, but no olive branch is offered to a stricken people. Pul- pits resound with the story of Divine love, but vengeance and hatred stalk through the ruins of a once majestic country. The piteous plea for peace trembles on tbe air, aud yet political demagogues spurn it in a mad strag- gle to secure the triumph ot corrup- tion. There is no danger of another civil war. Slavery will never again pol- lute the land with its touch. Statrs will no more be at war with States unless in far distant future a still greater calamity than that of the past is in store lor the country. But op- pression and wrong must sometimes bring their own punishment. It. is as true in the political as in the moral world, that there can be no prosperity fiunded on injustice and reared on violation of God's commandments to mankind." In- - the negotiation which proceeded the surrender at Appomattox Grant urged L-- e to lsy down hi arms to the end that peace might be restored and useless sacrifice of lite avoided. The desire for peace was the burden of Grant's demand, and he assured Lee that real peace could be purchas- ed by a frank surrender. The terms of surrender offered by Grant at Ap- pomattox on the 9th of April 1865, and accepted by Lee on tbe same day merely required that the arms, artil- lery, and other public property of the Confederacy be turned over to Grant-- ; that Lee's officers give their, individ- ual paroles not to take up arms against the Govorumeut of tbe United States, aud that regimental and company of- ficers sign a like parole for their men. " This done, each officer and man will be allowed to return to his home. ft not to be disturbed by tbe United "States authority so long as they ob-- " serve their paroles, and the laws in " force where they may reside." This pledge was given over Grant's own signature. He has kept It by lending himself mors readily than any other uisu whom the Radical party could bare made it tool to tbe persecution of the men who accepted his pledge in good faith through the Radical pol- icy of reconstruction and the villiau-ou- s enactments of Congress growing out of it. in the terms offered by Grant to Lee there was no intimation of the Enforcement acts, the Civil Kights bill, aud other abomination which Grant baa since recommended or upheld. If this be ibe good faith and the slraightforwaVd honesty ot a soldier, ihe military virtues arc not ivl at they are popularly thought to bt World.

ail, 1JihIm.iv, Mc Williams and nieutyothers. The dwg" against them istreaoi against the United Slates Gov-ernment in that they have violatedthe Enforcement act. Merriil swearsthat these citizens 'did each and"every one of them, conspire to iu-- "

liuiidate and control huiiu j ohs kVtal-"itie- d

voters ii said district in ojLS'"cising Ihe right of suffrage, by" threatening to deprive said voters of'employ men t, by" rel using to w

contracts with said voter tor' labor, in violation of a statute ot theUnited Slates." Whereupon Com-missioners Levis.se issues his wsrants,and Merriil arrests Ibe whole batch.

Now, it is proper the readers ofThe World should understand thesort of treason for which Merrill,under sanction of United State stat-ute, lm arrested these citizens.Shreveport is iu au exclusively cot-ton country, ami I lie labor contra elsmade there are for work in the cot-to- n

Held. These contracts are of twooris. First, between Ihe owner 01 a

plantation. and the hands employed totill it. The owner agree with hishand to furnish tools, machinery,mules, and other stock and iheir lend,seed and fertilisers, provisions torhands, clothes, pocket money, every-thing, provided the negroes will cul-tivate and secure the crop, and yiu itout and bale-i- afterwards, share andshare-aliku- . lie advances everything

tiie system is entirely a credit sys-tem and if his hands after liiug 011

him from February to -- September,choote to leave as the cotton is open-ing, he must lose, hot only bis cropbut all his advances made upon thestrength of his-cro- p. Yet it is trea-son against the United States Gov-ernment for a planter, so situated, tochoose his hands to exercise a-.- y dis-cretion iu selecting Ihe individual olwhom he must extend this enormousand perilous credit.

The otlters'sort of eoittr.-te- whichMerrill construes H to be treason tohave any discretion about is betweenthe atockeepnrs and lh laborers. AiiciM'o rents so muck cotton laud. Hehas nothing, but he expects to makefrom the land so many bales of cottonus his share of (he crop. The nun herents Irom furuiilie sed, 11, tile, andplouirh ; but will not lurnnhmeal, clothing, tobacco, fcc Unlessthe laborer can get these be must stopwork. Accordingly, he contracts withA ' storekeeper, opens a credit accountwith him to run nine or ten months,by which he is to receive his suppliesand provisions, have them advancedto him, upon condition that, when thenegro's crop i made he is to pay thestorekeeper's bill in cotton ginned orunriuned. It is treason according toMajor Merrill, constructive of theEnforcement act, for the storekeeperto exercise any discretion as to whichnegro he will trust and which he willnot trust.

Bring the matter home. Imagine amajor of cavalry swearing out a war-rant against and arresting the proprie-tor of tbe Jtepublic, because he hasdismissed- - a drunken "rat" ofa com-positor who is a Radical voter, "and"thereby threatening to deprive such'voters ot employment." ImagineMajor Merrill taking A. T. Stewartoil to the Tombs for refusing to per-mit oue of G rant's Custom-llous- e of-ficers to open an indefinite accountwith him upon the strength of pros-pective wages aud "knock-downs,- "

thereby " threatening to refuse to re-new (he contract with said voter lorlabor." But this is precisely whatMajor Merrill is doing in Louisana,under the pretence of securing the en-

forcement of the fourteenth amend-ment to the Constitution World.

Why Is It? Why is it that nineyears alter the close of- - the war troopsshould be needed to do police duty iuLouisiana, Sou th Carolina and Ala-bama? Are they not completely un-der Republican rule? After this utterfailure to "establish justice aud securedomestic tranquility" the party inpower had better prepare to retire audlet the Democratic party try theirhand. ' It is certain thata parly whichiu addition to fostering the CreditMobilier, back-pa- y grabs, CustomHouse abuses, Jaynes and Sanbornand third term projects, is incapableof keeping order in States governedby Republican officials without theaid of the army, 1 not fit. to be trustedwith the destinies of this country.

A year ago or so it was pronounc-ed that the Democratic party wasdead, yet 011 and alter the 1st of Jan-uary next the following States willhave Democratic Governors:

New Hampshire, Massachn setts.Connecticut, New York,New Jersey, Delaware,Murylaud, Wc-- t Virginia,Virginia, (ieurgia,Alnlmmu. Texas,Arkau$as, Tennessee,Kentucky, Ohio,Indiana, MIsKOliri,Wisconsin, Oregon,Nevada.

.Here are twenty-on- e DemocraticGovernors in thirty-seve- n States;aud it there had beeu a general elec-tbi- s

year several more would havebeen chosen. Pretty good for a deadparly.

s 1872 Grant had 150,000 majorityin Pennsylvania, aud his party carriedtwenty-tw- o Congressmen to fiveDemocrats. Now tbe Democratselect their State ticket, and instead offive Congressmen, have sixteen ofthe twenty-seven- .

ranging from 15 to 24 per ceat butnow they are "protected" by a tarifffrom 33 to 140 per cent. The fact isthat manufacturers in using ''protect-ed" raw material can not compete withthose of other countries in the foreign j

markets, and the sale of Americangoods is confined to Ibe United States ;

Bunco the demand is not sufficient tokeep the factories running. For

in 1850, over ten million dol- -'

lars' worth ot American cotton man- -

ufactnres were sold in foreign markets,but the amount this year is only a tr;-fl- c

over three millions. Is it anywonder that there is a surfeit of p?e- -

ductions aud that our home marketsare overstocked ? The World fromwhich paper the foregoing figures aretaken, says :

Can a similarly disgraceful result beshown for the same period in the his- -

tory of any other country outside ofour own ? Or can any one wonderthat the working classes are plungedin distress? The protected rnauutac- -

turers have watered their stocks as inMassachusetts, where the original $10of paid up slock represents hundredsof dollars ; they have had laws passedfor their special benefit to make goodsdear, aud have divided 100 per cent,profits annually. Tney have also giventhe deluded white slaves a pittanceout of their earnings, aud now whengrain sells below its coat of produc-tion, when cotton is lower than at anytime since the war, aud the wholecountry is squeezed dry, these pro-tected manufacturers have, but oneway to recuperate themselves. Attbe expense of their deluded whiteslaves they shorten the weekly laborby one-thir- d, and the starving opera-liv- e

who earned four weeks ago $6 aweek to maintain his family ot per-haps five or six souls must now becontent to starve on $4 a week.

The latest machiuery to do awaywith the use of ice, is of Cincinnatiinvention. The machine essentiallyconsists of two cylinders, an upperand lower one. In the lower one theair Is compressed under a pressure ofthirty-fiv- e pounds to the square inch.From this cylinder the compressedair is passed iu a condenser, in whichtbe beat is abstracted by means ofwater. It is then led into anothertank where it is deprived of its mois-ture. From this tank it is forced intothe upper cylinder, where it is ex-panded and ia led by means of largewooden pipes into tbe cellars. It hasjost been tested with satisfactory re-

mits.

Several Republican papers aremaking haste to retract compaign lieswhich they published, to the effectthat Got. Allen is intemperate in hishabits.

ready touched, with its sorrow, every. . .

patriotic heart iu the laud. Ihe jour- -

nals of the highest character, represeu- -

ting the Republican party, notably theSFeW York Times, ate casting theirpowerful influence in behalf of theoppressed people. The details pub-

lished in the above mentioned jour-nal of Southern cruelties are hor-

rible.The civil powers, laws, courts, ju-

ries, judges aud other officers havebeen subordinate to partial law. Inevery county and city and villagethroughout Alabama, Louisi.ua, SoothCarolina, and Georgia, a militarysatrap over-awe- s the people and ruleswith a rod of iron. There is no ap-

peal against injustice' The peopleare neither safe iu their persons,houses, papers, and effects against un-

reasonable searches aud seizures. War-rau- ts

of arrest are issued unsupportedby oath or affirmation, aud withouteven probable cause. Citizens are

of liberty and property with-

out due process of law. Kxeotsivebait is required, excessive fines impos-ed, aud cruel aud unusual punishmentinflicted. A scene of wide-sprea- d

disorder exists.States are in the hands of robbers

and usurpers, society disorganized bybanditti, public credit destroyed, thefields of agriculture which should nowcontribute tboir wealth of cotton tothe prosperity of the country laidwaste, labor is oppressed and themarch of civilization itself turned backon the downward step to ruin. Thehorrible aud frightful details cannotall be'grren. Homes have no longersanctity. Neither the rich man'spalace nor the poor men's cottage es-

cape the general ruin. Women andchildren are driven from home andtreated with merciless brutality.

How long, how long is the countryto suffer? More than two hundredmillions of dollars have been stolenfrom these poor people. Tbe cry isstill tor vengeance. The world standsaghast at such scenes in a free coun-try. Tyranny points its lingers iu de-r- i

son at our boasted land of liberty,and triumphantly asks if this be lib-

erty and the South,how loug will it be before the Northma succumb ?

Far better for the United State,that the party Shibboleth should betreason aud punished with dealh.. Lib-erty aud mortality, aud national pros-perity are infinitely above all partyschemes and objects. Parties aud politics are becoming the deathly baue of

institutions, absorbing all thenPf1. sentiments, blunting the con

sciences and destroying the sensibili-ties of the people. The clash of armsIs no longer heard, but no olive branchis offered to a stricken people. Pul-

pits resound with the story of Divinelove, but vengeance and hatred stalkthrough the ruins of a once majesticcountry. The piteous plea for peacetrembles on tbe air, aud yet politicaldemagogues spurn it in a mad strag-gle to secure the triumph ot corrup-tion.

There is no danger of another civilwar. Slavery will never again pol-

lute the land with its touch. Statrswill no more be at war with Statesunless in far distant future a stillgreater calamity than that of the pastis in store lor the country. But op-

pression and wrong must sometimesbring their own punishment. It. is astrue in the political as in the moralworld, that there can be no prosperityfiunded on injustice and reared onviolation of God's commandments tomankind."

In-- the negotiation which proceededthe surrender at Appomattox Granturged L-- e to lsy down hi arms tothe end that peace might be restoredand useless sacrifice of lite avoided.The desire for peace was the burdenof Grant's demand, and he assuredLee that real peace could be purchas-ed by a frank surrender. The termsof surrender offered by Grant at Ap-pomattox on the 9th of April 1865,and accepted by Lee on tbe same daymerely required that the arms, artil-lery, and other public property of theConfederacy be turned over to Grant-- ;

that Lee's officers give their, individ-ual paroles not to take up arms againstthe Govorumeut of tbe United States,aud that regimental and company of-ficers sign a like parole for their men." This done, each officer and man will

be allowed to return to his home.ft not to be disturbed by tbe United"States authority so long as they ob-- "

serve their paroles, and the laws in" force where they may reside." Thispledge was given over Grant's ownsignature. He has kept It by lendinghimself mors readily than any otheruisu whom the Radical party couldbare made it tool to tbe persecutionof the men who accepted his pledgein good faith through the Radical pol-icy of reconstruction and the villiau-ou- s

enactments of Congress growingout of it. in the terms offered byGrant to Lee there was no intimationof the Enforcement acts, the CivilKights bill, aud other abominationwhich Grant baa since recommendedor upheld. If this be ibe good faithand the slraightforwaVd honesty ot asoldier, ihe military virtues arc notivl at they are popularly thought tobt World.

Had there been a Presidential elec-

A Horrible Murder. ...Tlic Cincinnati Enquirer of Mon-

day publishes the details occupyingnearly five columns in fine type, of

one of the most horrible murders onrecord.The story briefly told is this : Anight watchman, named Scliellicg. wasthrurbed whether dead or alive, noth-

ing but a confession of tho murdererswill ever disclose, into a tannery fur-

nace with a pitchfork, where bis ai

were found yesterday morning.There are some reasons for beleiyingthat the horror of the murder was

nude matchless by pitching the victimwhile yet living into the fierce tire.

But it does not need that clcmeut olbarbarity to make Jl sutliciciitly mon-

strous. Three men are arrested on

suspicion, the circumstantial evidenceagainst some oft them being eon sid-rsbl- e.
