Government is modelled after our own, and is
purely republican-admini5tered almost wholly
by colored people. Agriculture is thriving and
greatly extending. -Four printing presses are in
operation. Twenty one churches are organized,
some OF them composed Of native converts. -
More than 20 ordained ministers are engaged in
religious teaching. Many Sabbath Schools are

never appeared better than now, nor so entirely

The Legislature in all probability, will divide the
State into six Districts but provide for the election
by general ticket, giving to each district one men,
Der. In relation to the formation Of districts there
has already been considerable billing and cooling,
and our public are in one part Of the State,
and the "dear democrats" in another, we appreheud
the main battle will be fought over the formation

Cole MIR. Relfe of Washington, and Mr.. Monroe
of Morgan.

0-The election Of JOHN McPnERsoN BERRrEN
to the Senate of the United States by the Wing
members of the Georgia legislature, is another
among the many convincing proofs that the old
Democratic Republican party have been foremost in
elevating Gen. Harrison TO the Presidency. Mr..
Berren was an original Jackson man and member
of his first Cabinet. At the time Gen. J. COM
menced his systematic attempts on State rights,
Judge Berrien with large number of Southern
politicians abandoned his administration, but Gen
eral Jackson having a popularity independent Of
the principles which governed him, was not only
reelected by large majority, but had the strength
to proclaim his successor. Every delusion has its
limit, and when MIR. Van Buren,, whose claims to
popular alteration and respect were but few and
feeble, came to be judged of from the manner in
which the principles Of his administration would
commend it to the country, we were no longer left
in the dark as to which was the Democratic party.

ELECTION FRAUDS.-A FACT.

The senseess cry of the Loco Foco Journals
throughout the couutry,in reference to the alleged
frauds on the ballot box by the Wing party al the
late election, has induced to look into the facts
of the case and see what foundation there is for
such charge. AS Mr.. Shannon, the late Loco
foco Governor Of Ohio, took particular pains in his
late message to prove that such has been the case
in his State, and having the Presidential vote and
the recent census as taken and reported by Van
Buren, Marshals wing before us, we find that
there 273 1891 votes poled at the recent Presi-
Dental election in Ohio. By reference to the GEN.
sus, we find that are Of 90 years of age and up
wards, 346,6ll white males-leaving 72, $50 as be-
ing between the age of 20 and 2l,-thus even adj
hitting there are 1880 of this age. and even
then every vote given could have been legal one.
But there is no man of sense who can believe there
is SO large number between the age of 20 and 81
1t will be fair to state the number of persons be-
tween 20 and 80 given in the column, and d.
vide it by ten. BY so doing, we find there are be-
tween 20 and 80, l37,473,--the tenth part of
which is l0,747, which taken from 72, $50 would
leave 2,O33 voters that did not go to the polls,
and yet the intelligence of the people is insuted
with the cry of double and illegal voting drown.

TnE ROYAL CRADLE AND QUILT. A
London correspondent ofthe New York

may interest some of our lady readers. -
He states that the "royal cradle in the

quilt is made OF lace, and was present
from Mr.. Dixon, Of Regent street. Il, is
made OF British point, and is square Of u
yard and half. In the centre are tho
royal arms, with tho Prince Of Wales
plume over them. In the corners are the
same pumes, with the motto Ich Dieu,
and Dieu ct Mon Droit, under the prnci.
pal ornament. The border is classical
design--a flowing scroll, in which The
rose, thistle and shamrock alternate. The
trimming Of this quilt is also of lace. 1t
IS considered one Of the richest things
ever turned out by British manufacturer.
The cot or cradle surmounted by coro.
