fiscation like his colleagues generally,
but favors a milder policy. he says:

brought to just and permanent peace

poverty Of the South, let the nation eI-

the imposition Of direct internal taxes.

NOME OF THEM ILL.

According to the reiterated reports
of foreign newspaper correspondents,
Count BISMARCK, LOUIS NAPOLEON and
Baron JAMES DE RoTHscHILD have all
been recently very i'll, and fears were e1-
pressed of their dying. 1t now appears,
however, that BISMARCK has recovered /;
that NAPOLEON has not been i'll, and that
Baron RorHsCHiLD has been reading
with infinite amusement the newspaper
homilies about the "vanity of riches"
ETC., which have been prompted by the
anticipated death of that at present
quite healthy money king.

FOR NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

The Chicago Times has long been a
popular paper in the South; but we fear
that the result of the recent elections has
demoralized it. The number of the 18th
inst. gives strong indications OF breaking
ground for negro suffrage. 1t has a long
article, the purport of which is to prove
that the negro race in the South will be-
come extinct After arguing the subject
at length, it closes thus:
Why. then, should men of Gothic
blood. to whom America belongs, and to
whom all other blood is and shall con-
time to be subordinate on this continent,
hesitate to grant the elective franchise,
as a measure which must, in the nature
of things, be only temporary,'to individ-
nails of an inferior race who may be able
TO attain the qualifications required OF
white men for its exercise There Is no
reHgrounded reason against a, II u
will promote the interests OF the domi-
nant race who grant it.
We have been accustomed to see IN
that paper well grounded reasons against
it. Certainly no paper in the North has
argued the reasons better. In another
article it says;
Those who consider impartial suffrage
fairly will discover that its homeopathic
character will not work any serious in
jury.
Farewell to the Chicago Times. tits

DAVIS.

The Peoria Democrat says: There
seems to be a very strong objection in
Radical circles to have that individual
tried. Chief Justice CHASE has shown
his antipathy to 1.-THE Judges Of the
United States Courts have declined to
try the case, and now the press Of that
faction prays to have him pardoned.
Probably the trial would tale unfold,
that Radicals could not relish We think
this could certainly be said Of the Chief
Justice"

WALKER COUNTY.

Walker county, in Alabama, has
always possessed a reputation peculiar to
itself The character Of its population
has long been a subject Of jest with the
people inhabiting the counties adjoining
it. Lawyers who visited the courts at
Jasper, the county seat, came away with
stories that afforded infinite amusement
The worst generally said of man was,
that he deserved to be banished to
Walker. During the late war, the
Walkerites were said to have been quite
hostile to the Confederacy, and enacted
the role of the tories of the Revolution.
Deseriers from the Southern armies
found protection, aid and comfort among
them. Recently, it appears, these peo-
pie have held meeting and passed res
olutions committing themselves to the
Radical party. In allusion to them and
their county, late number Of the Sunny
South has the following, half serious and
half otherwise:
All honor to the glorious old county OF
Walker-the famous nest Of deserters
and tories-the land of sedge grass, hills
and ck,jacks We know Walker
county, Alabama, for we have passed
through it in the dark days Of the rebel
lion, and We can testify to her loyalty.
No rebel felt secure within her borders,
and the "gellorious Union slept as
peacefully and undisturbed among her
barren hills as the tories who infested
them. Walker county was Q terror TO
rebels. We ourself we're of rebel
proclivities, and such was our re-
spect for the "loyalists" Of Walker
county, that in passing through the
county at night we sought some retired
spot in the hills rather than disturb the
loyal" dreams Of her loyal denizens
Indeed, such was the loyalty Of Walker
county. that the life and property Of q
reb were thought 10 be insecure, unless
well guarded by rebel" bayonets, as
several of the boys in gray had been
known to penetrate the limits Of the
county and never to come out Bat our
nrecaation was not from fear, but from
fhe peculiar respect and awe that a
Walker county tory inspired in our
bosom.

FACTORY DISEASE.

A curious disease is said to have APP
peared in the fax mills at Belfast, Ire.
land, and is described as being mainly
caused by the operatives having to stand
whilst at work, in the water which drops
from the spinning frames. If they get
bruise upon one of their toes, it in
flames, the nail drops of, and painful
liberation, with the growth ola deformed
nail, appears. This disease occurs,
though not TO SO great an extent, in the
English fax mills.

The Economist characterizes the wool
market as strictly spasmodic and moth
ing more. One day it appears as though
new life had been il fused into its veins
the next day it is completely paralyzed
The low prices at which woolens are sell
ing are so discouragipg, that mannfac-
tuners in too many cases feel far mere
like stopping their mills than buying
wool. The fine woods which are sold in
the New York market are principally
Western; Pennsylvania may be said to
be cut out of the market, says the
Economist, for it is held at prices which
are so far above the manufacturers views
that very few dare touch it. It stll
remains matter of uncertainty how
wool will go; ii manufacturers continue
TO run their machinery it cannot fall, for
it is now as cheap as foreign wool II
woolens advance, certainly wool will ad-
vance with them, but it is there where
the rub comes if woolens advance. II
seems To MS that stocks are too heavy to
allow of much improvement in prices
and it will admit of some improvement
before manufacturers can buy freely az
the rates at which wool is now held-to
induce them TO. take hold freely there
has to be some concession on currenU
rates.
