the imports from 81 ITO, l45 in 1860 to 500
730, 500 in 1864. The chief article of trade
was, Of course, cotton, which fOOtS up about
$50, 900. 600 in both exports and imports Of
1864. The total number of blockade runners
that entered Nassau during the rebellion WAS
l64, of which l02 made successful voyages

eight voyages each. Toward the end of the
war the captains of these vessels received S5OQ

AFRAID OF CITIZENSHIP. Recently Com
mittee Of the Rhode Island Legislature had .
conference with the remnant of the Narragan
, sett tribe of Indians, now living in that State
to learn whether they desired to avail them
t selves OF the privileges of the Civil Rights bill
and become citizens. They respectfully de
t clined the honor, however, from their politics
t loving and tax-paying neighbOrS. The righ
{ Of suffrage WAS strong temptation, but the,
a did not yield. There are but 80 Of the Mar
n raganscttS left, and much negro blood now
n runs in their veins They own about 300
1 acres Of land. and under the guardianship of tn
State, make their own laws and elect their owl
Ulcers.
