Horse Tanning 4 Training.
The Most Practical system known
in the World.
TESTIMONIAL.

TESTIMONIAL.
Rock IsLlNs, August %, 1867.
The undersigned, having witnessed an Exhi-
bition OF Capt. II. G. Miles system of breaking
and training colts and handling vicious and
tricky horses, take pleasure in adding this tcsti
monial to the many which have been furnished
Capt. Miles elsewhere.
The theory on which his system is founded is
supported by common sense, and is practical and
affective. No one who has any occasion to han
die horses, of whatever age or disposition, can
fail to be benefited by Thorough understanding
Of Capt Miles system.
Its chief beauty is in the fact that everything
is done by gentleness and kind treatment--no
harshness or beating-no Rarey ropes to aggra-
waite or in ure the horse
The same principle is adopted in the training
OF horses on the track, and experience has shown
it to be as successful here in the first breaking
of the colt.
In our opinion Capt. Miles syetem is superior
to any we have seen attempted elsewhere. There
Is no humbug in it. 1t commends itself to the
common sense of all who appreciate the noble
qualities of the horse.

THE subjoined is from the McMinnville
| (Tenn.) Ne,c Era. Messrs Radicals. will
you please read it carefully, and say whether
the facts therein disclosed show such a CON
dltlon OF affairs as ought 10 exist? If they
do not show such q condition of affairs, what
| action shall be taken to provide remedy?
at may be little curious and interesting to
readers to know the elements and relative
number of blacks and whites composing the two
political parties in our county. BY the census of
1860 our county had some 500 voters, who were
all whites, and it estimated that day there are
an equal number of white males in the county
over Il years of age. In the recent election the
following vote was cast:
Browniow
y
Leaving 1927 dsfranchized.
'Of this whole number of votes cast, $50 were
negroes, who all, one, voted the radical
ticket, which reduces the 415 for Brownow to
l64 whites giving the negroes a clear majority of
So votes; you call it what party you please,
but the negroes control it. And this is the full
strength of the party, for it is well known that
no radical votes were lost by reason of disfran-
chisement.
"Now let us look at the remainder
Taking estimate of 800 as nearest the
truth, and deducting the 164 whites, we have
total number of 1886 the conservative strength
of our county,--all whites save one.
"This is beautiful picture-l64 whites band
ed with $50 negroes, controlling 1886 free-born
white people of the county"
Be it remembered that the true intent and
purpose of the reconstruction acts of con-
gress is to introduce into each of the south
ern states such an enfranchisement of ne
groes and disfranchisement of white men as
now exists in McMinnville. We do not be.
lieve the white men of the north will approve
of any such libel on their race as that which
makes niggers superior to it. The malevo-
lence and corrupt partizanshp of Jacobin-
ism has over-reached itself. In grasping
after political control in the south, it has
Disguised the north. The men who thought
niggers ought not to be the slaves of white
men cannot be persuaded that white men
should be the slaves of niggers.-C Chicago

The Advantage of Free Trade.

The North American Review, in an ad-
marks:
The men of the revolution saw very clear
ly the advantages of freedom of trade with
in certain limits, and accordingly establish
ed it between the states, thus devoting to it a
larger area, and a greater variety of soil and
climate than have elsewhere ever been won
tor 1t, and thus opening what has been I'M
questionably one of the greatest sources of
the national prosperity. But with one of
those failures of logic with which political
history is filled, and which make the growth
of a science of history seem impossible, they
did not see, and the mass of the American
public does not see to this day, that what was
good for the states between each other
might be good for the states between them
| and foreigners. Everybody acknowledges
that, when Massachusetts men trade freely
| with New York men, both are gamers, and
| that the establishment of custom houses on
| the state line would be a great misfortune
| for both
But most people nevertheless, to this hour
imagine that, if Massachusetts men were
allowed to trade freely with foreigners, the
| foreigners only would be the gamers. and
the Massachusetts men would go on losing
| and getting into debet as long as the trade
lasted let the foreigners sell ever SO cheap
ly. The dividing political line seems to
have some obtuscatlng effect on the mind
| when it comes to deal with this sort of pro.
blem. In the case of Canada, the absurdi-
| ty becomes more apparent, however, than
in the case of Europe. IF Canada were
| annexed to the United States tomorrow,
free trade across the st. Lawrence would be
established at once, and to everybody's sat
isfaction and it would be universally ac-
cepted as self.evident that in the traffic
which followed, both the people of the new
state and of the old states would profit But
draw the political line, hoist the stars and
stripes on one side and the Union Jack Oh
the other, and nothing will persuade most
of us that, If free trade were permitted, all
the profit would not fall to the Canadians,
and all the loss to the Americans; and yet
the political line, of course, exists only in
the mind, and has of itself no more real eff
feet on the results of trade than the milky
way.

distances loans were made at to first class
houses on mixed colisterais. Ia the discount
line there is not much abatement of stringen-

bly, discount for their customers at per cent
but the pressure for accommodation Is only
partially responded to, owing to a dstrust OF

q strong preference which they manifest for

TIE WASHINGTON CANAL

II our Councils are not prepared to see the
control Of the Washington CanaI slip out of
their hands altogether, 10 behooyes them to
take some prompt action in regard TO improv-
ing ITS condition. We learn that private par
ties Che same who very nearly succeeded ia
getting bill through Congress last winter)
have bill prepared TO be presented at the
earliest moment IN the House. giving them the
entire franchise Of the canal and possession of
its borders. and its passage will be urged on
the ground that the Corporation of Washing
ton has shown its incapscity 10 deal with 1t.
The bill passed by The Board Of Aldermen
recently. seems to afford the only affective
remedy for the canal nuisance IL proposes
to dredge the canal thoroughly, and hereafter
keep t well dredged. When once cleaned it
can be Kept cleaned for an annual sum of no,
more than si,pOo, and responsible parties guar
aniee to keep 1t well cleaned for that sum. 1t
is not worth while to enter into the question
whether it will pay, commercially, to have
the canal cleaned We must look at the q ues-
ton IN sanitary point OF view. The canal
Is and necessarily must be the great trunk for
the sewerage OF the city, and il must be kept IN
a condition TO promptly carry of the matter
thrown into by the sewers, whether the CITY
derives any profit from il for canal purposes
or not. The necessity for this is becoming
every day more imperative, in consequence OF
The increased amount of offensive matter nnd.
ing irs way into the canal from the increased
number OF privy connections made with the
sewers AT the rate these connections are
being made, the canal, under the heat of the
sumner sun of next year, will be the most in
tolerable pestilence breeding nuisance imagin-
able. The only remedy is the prompt and
thorough cleaning OF the canal this winter.
and the Councils cannot leEislate too speedily
10 that end In any event, the canal as the
great artery for the city sewerage must be kept
under the control of the city.
