The New York Sun publishes sched-
ule Of prices 10 the retail market of that
city as compared with those of 1860, and
finds that what cost 1884 seven years
ago now costs $137.32 A list of COM
parative wages Of labor is also given. from
which it appears that work Whieh in 1860
commanded $40, SO now commands
S78.25. These include the wages of the
several classes of mec hanics. Thus it is
shown that while the cost of provisions is
about SO per cent greater than in 1860,
the receipts are 80 per cent. greater
showing a difference of six per cent.

There is logic for you, as well as lit

more negro children going to school

Starvation in the South.

A dispatch, in the papers Of Monday
last, dated at New York, says eur
Their accounts from Alabama and Gcor-
gia represent the destftutiop greater
than heretofore stated. Deaths are re-
ported from starvation in Alabama,
while a leading paper in Georgia esti-
mates the total number of starving there
at $4,000.
Since March first 225 freedmen from
the District, ofColumbia have been pro-
provided with homes in the Northwest
and South.
1t makes no difference about the
whies being provided for; they are re-
bellious, and must, although starving,
be taxed to support standing armies in
their midst, to keep them down. What
a beautiful consistency these dirty Rad
icals do practice!

days of Henry the Eighth, giving pow
cr, more potent than the Papal Church
ever granted to the Pope ofRome, into
the hands of"fye gentlemen on horse"
to be exercised oyer $4,000, 900 Of free
men who are to have neither Judge o
jury in dcfcncc-in short, Il bill as dcy.
iIish as hell itself, and intended to keep
ten States out of1he Union until after
the next Presidential election, and Ion
ger, etcrnally, if neccssary--this is the
bill And President Johnson's Veto
of it is said, by Republicans even, to be
the ablcst thing that ever emenatcd
his pen. Even Radicals North
stand aghast at the provisions of the
bill, and thank the President for try
ing, though in vain, to defeat it.

Yes, and when they supported them:
selves and their owners families, Con-
grcss didn't pas, bills appropriating
millions to take care Of the negroes, as
it has done since they were freed. And
but for the labor furnished them now
by their old owners, Congress would
have to appropriate a great deal more
to take care Of them.

makes the above extract, we find, un-
der the proceedings Of Congress in the
