A SOUTHERN PAPER ON THE
NEGRO.

The Charleston Mercury repeats a fact
that attracted very general attention during
the war, and has been a subject of COM
ment since. Speaking of the loyalty"
of the negro to the white people of the
South, the Mercury points to the fact that
not a single insurrection of the negroes
against the white race occurred in any
part Of the South during the war, and adds:
Whilst the white man went out to fght
for his country, the negroes staid at ho1e,
and faithfully worked to supply the armies
with food. And so efficient was their labor,
that the United States, in order that they
might subdue the Southern States, on the
ground Of necessity, resorted 10 the barhar-
Gus expedient of burning up and destroy
ing the food the negroes had made, with
ali the barns and implements Of husbandry.
The wives and families of the white people.
in the Southern army, were lett IN the
power Of the negroes; and, in large de-
gree, TO their care; and we venture TO as
sert without the fear of contradiction, that
this charge was in the main faithfully full
filled. Not one-tenth Of the crimes COM
mitted by negroes since the war, under the
guiding influences of the Freedmen's Bu~
reau and other Northern philanthropists,
against the white people of the South, was
committed during the war.

ssssFrom our regular legislative report it
will be seen in accordance with the
Federal law. the Senate and House of
Representatives yesterday 10 separate
session, proceeded to ballot for United
States Senator to succeed Hon D. T.
Patterson The result Of the votes had
10 each house are sufficient to discover
the ehgth Of the aspirants, and indi-
cate the probable election Of Gov Brown
low on the frst>ballot in joint session
to-day. This can only be prevented by
union on one of his competitors of all
who opposed him yesterday, and neither
one of them have the strength to effect it.
The appearance of the Governors
card dec laring himself candidate, and
somewhat arrogantly claiming the high
est honor that the State can bestow on
a citizen, has elected comment from va
rious sources The Chicago Eoening
Journal paper wholly in sympathy
with his politics, thus criticises it
He is the first Governor, if We mistake
not, to formally, and without being pub
licly inquired OF, announce himself can
didate for the Senate. The relations which
the executive and Legislative branches of a
government sustain 10 each other are such
that the precedent ia one that ought not TO
become a custom In all cases the Office
should seek the man, more especially in a
case like this Governor Brownlow had
no right to force the members of the Legis-
lature TO either give him their support for
the Senatorship, or place themselves in di-
rect antagonism to him. The only apol-
ogy for him is the fact of his eccentricily.
In any one else it would be set down to the
account of INSCRIPTIONS personal ambi-
ton.
There was a Senate of the United
States once, to which, in the widest
flight of prescriptions ambition, no man
now competing before the Legislature of
Tennessee would have dared to aspire.
The body itself has suffered a great de-
terioation, and it is not possible for any
man to be sent from Tennessee, at the
present time, who could do anything to
restore it to the high and weighty char
acter it bore when Andrew jackson,
Felix Grundy, John Bell and Hugh L.
White mated equally and proudly in that
chamber with the foremost statesmen of
the republic Among the small men who
now hustle and scramble for the posi-
ton, we have had no choice but we
have an opinion that it will, perhaps be
best for the public interest, if that one
should be selected who can most con-
spicuously and Extensively display on that
elevated theatre the measureless political
degradation in which Tennessee is sunk.

GEN. Sheridan.

PROVIDENCE, Oct. 22.-Gen. Sheridan
arrived to-day; he breakfasted at Bristol
where he delivered brief address in reply
to the welcome by Gen. Richmond. AT
Warren Gov. Burnside introduced Gen.
Sheridan to the people, and he responded
in few words. A similar affair occurred
at Drainsville.
The train reached Providence at II
o'clock, where the General was met at the
depot By a committee of the City Council,
the chairman of which delivered an adj
dress TO which Gen. Sheridan replied. He
was then escorted 10 the Governors man
sion and in answer TO the address made a
brief speech of thanks. The General was
escorted through the city by the entire di-
vision Of Rhode Island militia and Grand
Army of the Republic, the latter forming
a guard of honor. The city is crowded by
people from the country towns.

POPE's GERRYMANDER IN FLORIDA

Gen. Pope has issued an order for an
election to be held in Florida on the l4th,
18th and 10th of November. There are
fOrty-six delegates to be elected and there
are thirty-nine counties in the State
The registration returns show that the
whites have malorities in twenty-six
counties and the negroes in thirteen
The total number of whites registered is
ii, Isl, and of blacks l5,44l. Gen. Pope
has so gerrymandered the State in laying
it of into nineteen election districts, that
the negroes can elect thirty-six while the
whites can elect only ten delegates.
Commenting on this outrage of Gen.
Pope, the Tallahassee Floridian says:
West Florida is composed of the coun.
ties of Escambia, Santa Rosa, Walton,
Washington, Jackson, Holmes, Calhoun
and Franklin. BY tying Liberty on to
Franklin, Gen. Pope makes four districts,
and gives to these four districts nine dele
gates. The nine counties composing these
four districts contain white population
of 1868 to 1852 colored. OF registered
voters they show 1858 whites to 2458 me-
groes, and yet so shamefully has Pope
gerrymandered that section as to give to
the whites tU0 delegates in the convention
to Seoea blacks, which is an average of one
white delegate to every 1343 white voters
and one negro delegate TO every 351 negro
voters-one white delegate to every 1904
of the white population and one negro
delegate to every 1922 of the negro popu-
lation
Stepping over into Middle Florida, we
find that by crossing the Scwannee river
and adding a county of that name to Ham
ilton, he established six election districts,
and gives to them nineteen delegates. In
these six districts, the negroes register 1859
voters, and elect sixteen delegates-that is,
one delegate to every AIS voters. The
whites register $500 voters, and can elect
three delegates-that is, one in every 1910
voters!
East and South of the Suwanee river,
gerrymandering is fully as bad. All that
region of country is divided into nine dis
tricts, electing eighteen delegates. By the
registration promulgated, the negroes have
registered 1925 voters, and have it in their
power, under Pope's apportionment, to
elect thirteen of the eighteenth other
words, every 400 negroes can elect dele
gate-while the whites, who have regis
tered 1888 voters, can elect, by no possibil-
ity, more than fue-one to every 966 of
their voting strength
Again The total number of whites re-
gistered in the whole State is reported to
be II, l5l-the number of blacks 50 Is AL
In nine of Gen. Pope's districts, electing
ten delegates, the whites have clear major
tiles; the remaining ten districts elect
thirty-six delegates, and are under control
of the blacks. By dividing the 1l,15l
white voters by ten, (the number of dele
gates allowed them by Gen. Pope and you
have one delegate to ! lis voters, while the
negroes, numbering 15,441 voters, elect one
delegate to every 428 voters

any other State in the Union. Her roads
cost more, on an average, than any other,
and she and her people have derived less
local and personal benefit from them than
those of any other State.
In every view of the case the Tennessee
roads are exceptional, and present a
stronger appeal to the government than
any or all others together

The Gazette estimates Hayes majority
at $3.50.
The Cincinnati Enquirer Of the Dist
inst has official and reported returns
from all the counties in the State, and
these give Hays a majority of 1889. The
Enquirer says:
The hope which the Republicans have
cherished since the election, that they
we're beaten on a light vote, and that
thousands of their men simply stayed at
home, is dispeIled by the full official re-
turns now coming in. The total vote of
the State is enormous, being thousands
more than were ever given even at a Presi-
dental or Congressional election. All the
people were out, and voted after the most
elaborate presentation ever witnessed in
the State The figures will probably,
when the counties are all in, stand, in
round numbers, thus:
