Elections yet to be Held.

Concerning the elections that are to be
held during the coming month, the National
htelyigencer says, "New York has to elect a
State ticket and Legislature. That its Re-
publican majority Of last year will be rever-
sed is as certain as anything can be that has
not actually happened. The estimates Of the
Conservative majority are so large that we
hardly care to annoy our opponents in ad-
vance by repeating them but that the ma
jority will be overwhelming, they know as
well as we do. In New Jersey there is a
Legislature tobe chosen, which will, Of course,
be Conservative, and constitutional amend
ment allowing negro suffrage is to be voted
on. Its chances, after the late result in Ohio,
may very readily be estimated In Michi-
gan aud Kansas, negro suffrage is also to be
voted on. In these two States, and in Wis
consin, Minnesota and Massachusetts, there
areState elections to be held early next month.
In all of them We count on large gains for
the Conservatives, and shall not be at all sur
prised to see two or three Of them give Con-
servative majority. us sq

The BARRIERS PRAcrIcAL JoKE-The
celebrated Henry first, Viscount Melville, was
on a.visit to Edinburgh, shortly after the pass
ing Of some unpopular public measure, to
which he had given his support.
\ "On morning after his arrival he sent for q
barber to shave him at his hotel This func-
tionary, considerable humorist, resolved to
indicate his sentiments respecting his lord
ships recent procedure as alegislator. -Hav-
ing decorated his 'lordship with an apron, he
proceeded 10 lather his face. Then, -four
ishing his razor, he said: ave are obliged
to you, my lord, for the part you lately took
in the passing Of that odious bill" ssOh
you'er a politician" said his lordship; II
sent for barber" I'll shave you directly"
added the barber, who, after shaving one
half Of the beard, rapidly drew the back Of
ing: Take that you traitor!" and rushed out
Of the room. Lord Melville, who conceived
that his throat had been cut from ear to ear,
placed the apron about his neck, and with i
.gurgling noise, shouted: Murder p The
waiter Immediately appeared, and; at his lord
ships entreaty, rushed out to procure sur
geon. Three members of the medical facul-
ty were speedily in attendance but his lord
ship could scarcely be persuaded by their
joint solicitations to expose his throat, around
which he firmly held the BARRIERS apron. At
length, he consented to an examination; but
he could only be convinced by looking into >
mirror that his throat had been untouched.

of the farmers products, and the greater the
number Of railways or canals passing through
: country the more is this value increased
This is certainly true Of New York, Phila.
delphia and Baltimore, with their western
connections completed. These cities afford
the farmer \ much better price for his pro-
ducts than Richmond, because with an aceu-.
mutation Of productions and eommercs come
increased manufactures and multiplied popu-
lation. What is true Of those large cities
will also be true Of Richmond when you open
the Chesapeake 4 Ohio Rail Road.
Experience within our own State establishes
the same general truth. You find that as
railroads have been extended into the interior
grain growing regions Of the State, that wheat
oats, rye, &C., have steadily gone up in The
Richmond markets We ask any candid man
the question are not these products higher,
much higher, than they we're fifteen or TWEEN
ty years ago? Do you require any further
proof to establish the fallacy Of this ridicu-
lous competition idea sa..e.
The laws Of trade, and our own experience,
demonstrate that as you afford increased "a
cilities for agriculture, by labor-savins ma
chinery and by convenient and cheap trans
portation, that agricultural products steadily
increase in value, and the reason Of this ed
vance is obvious. By labor saving machihery
you enable much larger number Of people
to..engage in manufactures and commerce, and,
hence, you increase the number Of consumers
at the same time you diminish the number Of
farm laborers. The productions Of this con-
tinent are increasing yearly with the increase
of population. Many Of our surplus pro-
ducts seek the European markets, and thus
afford many avenues Of commerce from our
Atlantic shores. That portion Of the Allan
tic which affords the cheapest and shortest
communication with the West and the most
convenient and commodious harbors for for
eign trade WILL PROFESSIONALLY, be the seat Of
Empire on this Continent This position is
conceded, by the best authority, to be on the
tide waters Of Virginia; and, as to the line Of
communication with the West, the most bitter
opponents Of the measure have never been
bold enough to dispute its advantages.

A Republican Admission.

Thurlow Weed, in the Commercial Adver-
tiser Republican,, says Of the defeat Of the
negro suffrage proposition in Ohio: 1.-The re.
suit did not turn half SO much on the ques-
ton whether Colored Men should vote in Ohio,
as whether we should, by Military Law, con-
vert the Carolinas, Georgia, Louisiana, Ala
bama, Mississippi, &C., into St. Domingos
1t was not whether Negroes should vote in
Ohio, but whether Negroes should be voted
for in Southern States. Indeed, it was for
this, distinctly, that the question was sub
mitted:
"Again, we say, be not self deceived. The
results in Ohio and Pennsylvania are Yer
diets upon question submitted by Radi-
cal Congress, and argued by the Radical
Press. They simply declare that the Negro
question, as it was to be used in 1868, By
aspirants for the Presidency, is PLAYED OUT. "
In another article, this experinced and sa-
gacious politician says:
"What we marvel at is, that experinced edi.
tors, accustomed to pulse the people, and liv-
ing in political atmosphere, even if they
did not feel the change, should have learned
nothing Dy consulting tnelr DarOMetOfS-
Blind, and deluded almost beyond parallel
are those who fail to discover strong reac-
tionary sentiment Those who have sown
the storm must prepare to reap the whist
wind" --e
"The revolution through which we are
passing is destined to repeat the history Of
France in more respects than will be found
pleasant to modern DANToNs and ROBES
P1ERREs, with this difference, however, that
the people will content themselves with blood
less guillotines." ~

Timely Hint.

The National Intelligencer throws out a
timely hint, when it says exultation over the
elections, accompanied by threats Of resent
'ment, is just what the revolutionary leaders
in Congress would desire to witness through
out the South, as an excuse for prosecuting
their malignant schemes. It is, therefore,
most desirable not only that the language Of
the press should be temperate and prudent,
but that the bearing Of the population should
be such as to inspire trustfulness everywhere,
and to disprove the misrepresentation Of
those hairless partisaus, who, in prosecuting
the South as they have done, and still would
do, are animated by the ignoble passion Of
vengeance on the one hand, and Of selfish in
terest on the other" w
