"The heavy preeiurc of the administration hav

place among llie conservative State of the Houth
and Is likely to keep it onloia the Radical party
becomes much wore than it wae In 1671, which
ii impossible, or much better, which ie improba

the victory of the Democracy is decisive."

1 rinlll.v 1'lkaked. "Ourdistrict tick

Clinton Dnnnrat, after the action of
the Democratic convention in that
county, under which tho editor says:
"Po far as Clinton la eonoernod her vole has
recorded her will in emphatic tones al to whom
she prefers for Congress. Senator and Additional
Law Judge. rho has declared unanimously for
I A. Mackcy for Congress, VYm. A. Wallaoe for
tlto State Senate, and John H. Orvis for Addi
tional Law Juile. These are suhjeot to the ac
tion of the other counties of the dietriet. We en
tertain the strongest hopes that this ticket will be
numiuated. Our sister coontics oannot do better
than givo it the same nearly support it received
bore, and we are satisfied they caunol better it or
laeke one ae good by any ohange.
"00 far as Clinton it ooneeraed, she has reason
to be gratified with her work, and her confercce
eiin go forward with pride and present their re
apoetiv nominees as men in every trsy Rcrthy of
seech ing the support of the oonfereno."
Li'MIikr. On our first page will be
found an article taken from the Philadel
phia JVmm, bearing upon tho lumber
interest, which should be studied by
our readers. If (his wanton destruc
tion of timheris not measurably stopped,
wo will all bo nnido poor wiiliin tho
next ten years. If, on the other hand,
our dealer and laud owners of timber
hinds confine themselves to a system
ii ml allow the laws of demand and sup
ply to reguhite the trado, wo tiro in
the possession of a rich heritage fir a
century to come. Over production is
flest ruction of tlio timber, great reduc
tion in wages and no profit to owners
orlaborers in tliis country. Tucprofits
lire all for tlio eastern consumer.
Democrats! see that every Demo
cratic voter in your district is a.csed
before September 3d, as after that day
it will be too late.

penter and the rest of those political
buzzards who wore Instrumental in
passing an infamous act, during the
closing hours of tlio lust teessHin of
Congress, aimed at the freedom of the
prcis, are being pretty well scotched
for their dirty, cowardly work. The
ililwaukio Xcu published ut Carpen
ter's homo, says:
'fb old Alien and Sedition laws, passed nnder
tho administration of Mr. Adams, were not more
ulijectinnaltle. Those measure, however, were
beneficial to th people, inasmuch as tbey snalerl
nliy contributed tu orerlhniw the aristocratic old
Federal party, for whioh was profitably substi
tuted tho Jeffcreonian ileiBoeraoy. In rla time
the Alien and Sedition lawe war repealed, and
their authors were eursod for a whole guneration.
This new press Rag law will also do good by help
ing to arouse public indignation against the most
corrupt set of politicians that ever disgraced the
Republic. In tiuo tim they and their villainous
law will be relegated to their proper plac.
If the time should ever cctno when the press of

of our Democratic neighbors over in I

A SOVTUEBM VIEW OP Till! MATTKH.
We clip the follow ing remarks, bear
ing upon tho leading question now agi
tating tho people of tho South, from a
late number of tho Itichinond, (Va.)
Enquirer. Tho editor remarks :
"Whom tbe gods would destroy they
first make mad." The Htidicul party
of the North must recngnizo in tho re
cent wonderful Conservative or Demo
cratic victories in the Southern States,
tho madness of its party leaders in at
tempting to force iikui the country the
abominations of tlio civil rights bill.
In Arkansas, in Tennessee, in North
Carolina, and Al ississiiipi, where recent
elections liavo been held, either of a
genernl or local character, t It m bill has
properly been made tho great issue be
tween the parties. Tho results show
that it has had tho etl'oct of welding
together all the Conservative elements
to such an extent Unit tltey liavo every
where swept before them nil opposition,
whilo in every Southern State, by tho
piiiposalofthisoutrago, the hearts of tho
white people have boon tired with an
indignation, that will speak in fill lire
thunder tunes at tho hullot-box. The
1 Judical party has for years been march
ing up to this issue step by stop. It
has at last reached it Itico to face, and
the question is now to bo settled final
ly, shall tho negro bear rule in the
Southern States. Kentucky and Ar
kunsiis havo delivered their answers
to this question in tones unmistakable;
whilo the booming cannon at Haleigh,
Nashville and Vicksburg proclaim the
white man's victory and tho whito
man's supremacy in a white man's
country. Tho doctrine of absolute ne
gro equality inculcated by Uie civil
rights bill though perhaps tho consis
tent and logical consequence of the
tenets heretofore advanced anil ad
hered to by tho liepublican party,
bears with it tlie sssuranco of toe de
struction of that party in el) the South
ern Stutcs. In view of tbe insult and
degradation it needlessly and wrong
fully brings to tho doors of every house
hold of the Southern whitest, their
hearts have been tilled with a resent
and indignation fierce enough,
MTo stir ft fever In the blood of age,
And mak tb Infant sinew strong as steel."
On th lino luid down by tho Radi
cal party, the whito mnn'iood of all
tho South will promptly rally. Gal
lant, though wronged and oppressed,
Isouisiana is marsballing her forces for
t tut (Wtv. Texas and (iconin will
speak w"ith tholr fifty thousand majori
ties; Alabama will redeem herself!
and find "restr nun tho true anil gal
lant people of poor helpless South Caro
lina, unable perhans as yet to turn suc
cessfully upon their oppressors, will
show by their action that they at least
spurn and spit upon thoso -who cn-
avor to torco tho (icirranatlon upon
them. In tho mrnntlme it will beenmo
tlio dutv of old Yirifinia tho mothor
of Stutcs to express her mind on this
issue. What tat expression will lie
no mnn lias any jum reason io tiouni.
Tho civil rights bill must of necesslly
bo tho groat issue In all ot our Inn
irressioniil districts in the coming con
test, r.vcry Kuil Kill caniliilulo will
and must be pinned to tho wall on this
question. And a political woo had as
well ho pronounced in advance nixm
ho while man, whatever his profes
sions of opinion heretofore, who tlaro
annoar Deiore a v iririnia auuience nil
vocuting tho doctrines of (hi hill, o
which the Kndical imrty ts pledgee; I
Jordan, accoruinif U tlio old story,
may lo a (iimcuil road to travel, nut
it will T'Mlo in tue presence ol the rougn
meandering which will bo tho lot of
tho civil viifhts advocates In Virginia.
It is happy for tho country that tho
licpuuhfiih party has raised this issue,
and esptxjially linppy for tho whito
race of tlio South, But still happier
will it bo for both, when It eventuates
as io our hearts wo aro coundent It
will, in the complcto destruction of that
party.

Oneoftheleadingqiiestioiistbatmiist
necessarily engage the attention of tho
Aniorican statesmen for the next few
years, is tho subject of cheap transpor
tation, and as this is a non-parlisaii
question it seem oiniuently proper for
me to givo publicity to all uuitlors of
interest Hearing upon this Important
subject. Tho United States may prop
erly bo called "Tho (1111111117 o th
World" and ho who euu devise tho
best plan whereby tho food-prmluots
ot tins country can 00 carried to tno
fbrelgu consumer so that a profit cull

petiton with other fooil-pitjilueing no

his country's greatest benefltctor.
From an interesting pamphlet, now
before mo, I find that it costs 53 ami
seven-tenths eta, to transport a bushel
of wheat from Chicago to Liverpool,
and 44 and five-tenths cts. Io curry a
bushel of corn over the same route ;
that tho average price of No 2 spring
wheat iu Chicago during tho year 1872
was f 1.22 and six-tenths, and that the
nvonigo price of tho samo wheat in
Liverpool was (1.80 and nino-ttniths ;
cost of transportation as above, 63 and
seven-tenths, which gives the English
men bant a profit of 10 and six-tenths
cents a bushel.
Tho value of American cotton in
England during 1872 averaged 118.44
(gold) per 100 pounds; tho vuliio of
wheat per 100 pounds was 13.10, and
tho value of corn Jl.fil per 100 pounds.
Tho cost of each of these threo pro
ducts from tho K)int of production to
U rem iiritnm was :iu cents Ivor 100
pounds which shows that while the
ctsst of trnnujioHutioii was only fi per
cent, of tho valuo of cotton at Liver
pool, it was 20 per cent, of tlio value
of wheat and 50 per cent, of tho value
corn at Liverpool.
Tho cost of transporting cereals
from tho North-West to the cotton
growing stutcs ought not to ho more
than one-third (ho cost of transporta
tion to LivorptKil, and from lliis it
would seem to bo much more profit
able to all concerned, for the South to
give greater attention to cotton grow
ing und exportation of it than fisd
prtsliiciug.
Tho Import of cotton into Great
Britain from the U. S. in 18U0 amount
ed to 1.1 15,800,008 pounds, und from nil
tho other countries 275,048,144 ; during
the year 1872 the cotton exported from
this country to Great Britain amounted
to 625,000,080 pounds and from "all
other countries" 783,237,308 howing
while nil other countries hud increased
508,189,248 pound we suffered a de
crease of 400,200,528. In other words,
the imports of cotton into Grout Brit
tuiu from this country in 1800, were
80 per cent, of the totul imports of cot
ton, utiil in 1872 only 44 per cent.
During the five years, 1800-1804 in
clusive, this rniint rv exported totbe
United Kingdom 127,047,120 bushels
of wheat. During tho years 1808 to
1872 inclusive we exported to the saino
country 110,402,380 bushels of wheat;
a decrease of 10,584,74(1 bushels.
During 1800-1804 Russia sent 47,
370,8011 bushels of wheat into Great
Britain and during 1808-1872 inclusive
Great Britain iiniiorted 117,070,022
bushels of wheat from Russia an lit.
rrnMK'of70,5!l0,213 bushels. Thisgroat
increase on the part of Russia is main
ly due to her improved system of cheap
transportation of grain from the interior'
to the Wnek as the docmiso from
tho I'nited States is inttiiily due to the
Jim Fisk system of rail inud luauage-
ment, winch under tlio new order is
rapidly becoming 0110 of the lost arts.

tho theory that thieves stolo the child
and until they are convinced to tho

change my theory that tho child was
not abducted by professional thieves
with the view of obtaining ransom
money. Mr. Ross Is a bankrupt and
bos never felt himself able to nay more

Tho Mayor offers $20,000 reward for
tho return of the child and the convic

DOES HISTORY REPEAT IT
SELF t
After reading the accounts of (he
war of race at Austin, Mississippi, ono
is almost tempted to answer in the
affirmative. The preliminary steps
toward tho Inauguration of a second
Hnytian butchery aro being taken. Tho
same causes aro at work now that pre
cipitated the revolting scones ujion the
Island of Haytl at (bo opening of the
present century. Tho negro has his char
aoteristics wherever ho mny bo placed,
and his acts in A. D. 800 aro repeated
in his acts of A. 1). 1800, and now
again iu 1874, Tho blistering sun of
Airica seems to havo Imhuod him with
a feeling of deep and desperate hatred
toward the dwellers of tho North, that
has not been eradicated after dwelling
for generations beneath tho beams of
tlio polar star.
Ono would think (bat he was read
ing the history of the Wost Indies,
when perusing tho dispatches from
Austin. Tho whito men of tho sur
rounding country had gone Into tho
town to savo It from destruction and
its people from slaughter, leaving their
own wives and children at homo un
protected. When tho negroes assault
ed tho town and were repulsed, thov
retired to the adjacent hills, and after
concealing themselves, set on foot the
rumor that they had gone into the-
country and were, murdering the un
protected wives antl children of the
town's defenders. What was more
nut lira! than that each man should
rush to tho defence of his own fireside ?
I his is precisely what tho negroes had
calculated on, and as soon as the town
wus left defenceless, they entered it
and proceeded to broalc open store,
saloons and dwellings, helping them
selves to whatever suited their funcy
or cupidity.
This is only a chapter of Wost In
dian history one ol the opening cbu
ters of tho fearful butcheries of the
French population. A rtiflco, treachery
and brutality wore tho means used by
the blacks to induce tbo planters to
0m?ii their doors, which wore no sooner
tqioned than an ambushed mob rushed
in to butcher tho old and tho young,
men and women and lisping babes, and
commit such horrible atrocities that
human belief is staggered, upon read
ing tno pages 01 authentic history .even
to this day. These ebullitions of ne
gro ferocity aro becoming too com
mon in the Vulley of tho Mississippi,
and they bear too much the impress
of Dominicuu dovilishness to bo tolera
ble any longer.
Tho negro race in this country must
not think that they occupy the same
position hero that their brethren did in
llayti. There tbe negroes wore four
to 0110 whito. In this country tbe
whites are aliottt ten to ono negro, and
if a war of races is really inaugurated
in this country, tho wholo Caucasian
race will be interested In avenging the
African butcheries of three-fourths of
a century ago. Wo are not to bo nn
derstood as speaking against all tho
colored people of this country, or in
sinuating that they lavor a war of
races. Thoro aro many intelligent
men among them who are laboring to
nnng their race up to a higher stand
ard. But the teachings of these men
of their own race are no longer heeded
if they ever were by the p!antu(inn
negroes of tiie South. They havo fal
len into tho hands of white renegades
of tho North who are educating thorn
up to wholesale murder, just as the
renegades of Haytl caused a deluge of
human gore that yet sickens tho casual
reader of history.
Tho friends of th colored race have
a groat work to do now, in the faeo of
the tacts that almost daily traspire in
the South. There is only one way in
which a war of races can be prevented,
and that is to adopt some means by
which the carpet-baggers and their
evil counsellors shall bo driven out of
tho South, lfthev continue to flourish
much longer there, it will bo neeosssry
