J. E. liEAL, President. C. E. BAXTER, Seerelary. Kepublicans, like Senator Ingnlls and Speaker Reed, who dare to do and say what they know to be right and just, are subject to insult and contemptible treatment at the hands of the southern contingent and their northern syinpathizers. Mr. Bynum, ot Indiana, wanted to challenge SIr. Reed to a duel, and it took all the persuasión of such men as Carlisle and Springer to keep him from tnakirjg a spectacle of bimself. Then one of tlie Southern meinbers fired thisat the plucky Speaker, after calliDg his (Reed's) mother a Tile name: You know why I don't selze jou and drag you from that chalr. I am from the South and cannot afford to have the cry of "Southern ou trage" ralsed against me. The spirit seems to be willing bnt the courage very weak in that Instaoce. That same fellow could go out and shoot down a defenseless negro wlth the bravodo of a Buffalo Bill In a circus ring no doubt. Among otlier pleasing niUsires, containlng threats and epitheta and curses, received bjr Senator Ingalls for liis masterly speech upon the race question in the Senate recently, was this beautiful letter : VinciL, Ga., Jan. 30., 1S9D. U.S. SenUeor ÍDgalls, Washington, D. C: We would more cheerfully pay $2,000 toward burnlngevery newspaperand theír editora that publish your fooi speeches than we pay two cents to carry this to you. You are certalnly the most cursed, heil bent fooi on earth, and huw a crowd can waste tbe time llstenlng to you can be accounled for, only that they are "U. S. Seniteors." Our estlmatlon of that body goes down ncarly every time we hear lrom it. We can congratúlate you on beluga successful or lucky manlac. You are lucky that you flnd fools to tolérate you. That the devll Is crowded wlth such as you is evident or he would have taken you allve. Yours truly, Í.B. NI1SLACK L CO. On Saturday last, Senator Ingiills received tlirongh the mail from Jackson, Miss., a package containing a eartridge whicb was made up of powder and nine buckshot, on which was th!s inscription: Electlon pills for old CufT, or for Ingalls, from Jackson, Miss. Come to see us, old Nutgalls. b Is this the spirit of the "new South ?" The man who sent that message to a member of the U. S. Senate is a true representative of the element which controls nearly one-half of Uiiscountry,aiul which would domínate republicans of the north with the same brutality and beastiality as it now bulldozes and outrages the defenceless people of its own section, bad it the power so to do. J. L. Richard, of Perrington, wriles the Adrián Times as follows: "All members of the Ex-Prisoners of War A9sociation of tlie state of Michigan, under the neworganization, (organized at Owosso) are requested to send me tlieir full name rank, company, regiment and branch of service, also when and wliere captured, in wbat prison held, when and wliere released and present postcffice address. I desirc this for the purpose of completIng the records. All ex-prisoners of war in the state should joln the association. After wc have done witli the list we propose to place it in the museum at Lansing, as the record of a set of men wbo eodured more hardships wbllfl irisoners of war than any other set of meu." At the Republican Club's annual banquet at Detroit next week Frlday night, Senator Frye, of Maine, wlll be the particular oratoncal star of the occasion. Secretary Noble, of the Interior department, Senator Pierce, of Dakota, ExSenator B. K. Bruce, of Louisiana, Senator'John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, Ilon. O. W. Bradley, of Kentucky, and othcr prominent men will be present upon the occasion. Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, of New York, and the plucky Gen. Wm. Mahone, of Virginia, may possibly ttend.
