THE WEST VIRGINIA ELECTION

The election which took place in West
! Virginia on the 9th, as TO the adoption or
rejection of the Radical amendment to the
| Constitution DISTINGUISHING all sympathizers
with the Southern cause in the late war, has
resulted in a ratification of the amendment.
| In speaking of this election the Wheeling
| Register says:
Persons outside Of the State not thorough
| ly familiar with our local politics, should be
cautioned against accepting the result of this
election as a correct indication Of the politi-
cal sentiment Of our people. The amend
ment was only voted upon by portion of
those citizens who can comply with the con-
ditions of the registry act, and none at
all Of the large class, whom the amend
ment is intended to disfranchise were
permitted to vote for or against its
ratification. 1t will be readily admitted by
even the Radicals themselves that the
amendment has not received the sanction of
majority of the constitutional voters of
the State and we are confident of our abil-
ity to prove next October that it has not re-
ceived the approval of even a majority of
those who can take the test oath and register
their names. A large portion of the con-
sentative vote is still unregistered, and in
many of the counties a system of intimida-
ton and force has been employed to keep
conservative voters from the polls, which
will not be so successful next fall. We trust
that the friends of civil liberty in other
States will not think so meanly Of the intel
ligence and patriotism of the citizens of West
Virginia as to believe that majority of our
people favored so infamous a scheme of OPP
preston as was embodied in the constitus
tional amendment. Our people will yet
achieve freedom, in spite of all the disfran-
easements, the test oaths, registry acts and
other unjust legislation the Radicals are to
in1ct.

ANOTHER ESTIMATE OF THE COT
TON CROP.

From the Cha rion and Standard
JACKSON, Miss May a. lSG6.-MR.
EDITOR: In the conclusion of an article
which appeared in the Clarion and Standard
of this date, headed "Cotton Crop of 1866"
you say, 1--WE incline to the figures we have
produced as our estimate of the crop, and
we hope ifthey can be refuted, some of our
'wiseacres' will do it," Without any wish
on my part, Of being considered entitled to
any such distinction, proceed to make a
correction or improvement upon your cal
culation, taking, as You have done, an aver
age crop before the war, say 100000 bales
as my basis If 100000 bales were pro-
duced in 3l3 working days, how many will
be produced in 26l-answer, 1886, 463-
provided the negroes work as well rs they
did before the war. Surprising they do
only two-thirds the amount of work, we
make n reduction of one-third this gives
the result 2,223,G42 bales, surprising the
number Of laborcrs the same as existed
before the war. So far, Mr.. Editor, our
figures agree. Your next reduction is only
one-third for labor now employed and in
1860, in which | think you are in error.
BY reference to the statistics of the Cotton
Growing Association, published in your pa
per Of this date, you will find the number
OF hands TO be less than one-half
1t is true the reports rs yet received by
the Cotton Growing Association are few in
number, but | am inclined 10 the opinion
that the Association will in a short time be
able 10 furnish such full, reliable Informal
ton as will establish the fact beyond doubt
that there is not the present year more
than One-halfthe number ofnegrocs employ
ed in the cotton fields as were employed in
1850. then deduct one-half from the last
figures, the result of which is l,lll,S2l bales
IS the estimate ofthe coming crop. As you
state. 1T supposes the season to be favora-
bic for cotton, for it took favorable season
to produce an average crop of 100000
hofore the war;
When we take into consideration the UNI
favorable season, the overflow, bad stands
in consequence Of planting old seed, late
planting and other causes, | make a further
reduction Of one-third, the result Of which
is al, PA bales as a fair estimate of the cot
ton crop of 1866.
Below is another calculation based on the
number of acres in cultivation in 1860,
which You can publish if you think proper.
Acres in cultivation in 1860 100000,
producing 100000 bales; acres in cultiva-
ton in 1866, 2,66G,666 producing ,t33, 1873

have passed through the terrible ordeal with
honor. Let us be careful that we do not,
IN the hour of triumph, commit an act that
forever sully our record and cause our de-
scendants 20 blush.
The practical good sense and sagacity OF
Abraham Lincoln were proyerbial There
is good reason for believing that il was his
wish that Jefferson Davis should escape TO a
foreign, land, foreseeing the embarrassment
that must follow his capture.
In conclusion, if the writer had the dis
posal Of the prisoner, he would summon
him TO his presence and address him some
what in this wise:
Sir, by the blessing OfGod and the vslor
of the American people, your wicked at
tempt las ! think 10 destroy government
cemented by the blood Of common ances-
try, and yet destined to bless unborn genera
tons, has been signally defeated. Your CO.
workers and misguided followers, after she'd
ding their blood like water and making
shipwrcck of their fortunes, have laid down
their arms. You are now harmless for evil
You can do Us no further injury. Yo' are
free-free as the four millions of aaves
whose shackles you have unwittingly strick-
en- Off Go, go whithersoever it pleases you,
and may fhe remnant Of life spared you
by the generosity of justl y-ofended people
be consecrated to securing an incorruptible
crown, as that already spent has been in
striving for a perishable one"

SPECIMEN DISPLAY OF RADICAL
TOLERANCE.

Correspondence of the Republican,
MARSHALL, SALINE Co, Mo-, May %,
lSG6-Gen. +. 7. Blair and party arrived
here last night, and spoke to a large assem-
bly, Of Conservatives from all parts Of the
country this morning. A party of Radicals
numbering about twenty, one-half of whom
were negroes came here for the purpose of
breaking up the meeting. Soon after the
General had begun his speech these Radi-
Gals, who had collected on a knoll near him,
began TO interrupt him. He gave no atten-
ton to them for some time, when they COM
menced pouring out upon him all the vile
cpithets their vulgar minds could invent
often calling him a Cd id liar, &c in
fact creating such a noise that he could no
longer proceed. The Sheriff ordered silence,
which not being complied with, he and 9TH
er5 attempted 10 arrest them. They 1.-THE
Radicals drew their firearms, defied the
whole assembly, resisted them, and began
throwing stones md iiourishing their weap-
ons in a very threatening Manner
The people, by this time thoroughly in
dignant at the attempt to suppress their
freedom and intimidate them, returned
their stones with interest which compelled
the Radicals TO retreat, during which one of
them fired at the people, who returned that
also, and one Of their shots took effect upon
the leader Of the Radicals, entering the
back Of his neck, and glancing out near the
surface under his ea4
On this occasion the "colored troops" did
not fight nobly," but madea most mastery
retreat, leaving some Of their number down
under the bricks
Gen. Blair then went on with his speech,
which was three hours long. After the
meeting the Radicals feeling somewhat
chagrined at their failure to break up the
meeting, and Brighten the whole country,
fell upon an unarmed and inoflensive con-
sentative farmer, and would have seriously
injured him but for the interference of the
good people. They again met him in the
grocery, and addressed in the most insulting
language; and one drew his revolver and
shot him, and would have killed him had
he not knocked down the revolver Just as
the other fired it, which caused the ball to
enter his leg above the knee, rubbing the
bone, and coming out on the other side al
most TO the surface The farmer wrung the
revolver from the villain, and struck him
down, and Immediately after the other Rad
icals opened fire upon him, and knocked
him down, beating him most brutality. They
would surely have killed him but for the
aid of the Sheriff and a number of citizens,
who arrested the villain. The rest are at
large, and are threatening others. Free
