What the Italian Muddlo Amounts to.

A resume of the trouble shows that
Garibaldi returned from the peace con.
gress at Geneva, and Immediately issued
one of his inhammatory appeals urging
the Italian liberals to march on Rome.
He was soon after arrested by Victor
Emmanuel, and, upon declining to give
his parole not TO escape, he was sent TO
Caprera.
In the meantime, the party Of action,
or the liberals, or mob, or whatever they
may be properly termed, excited by the
appeals of the red shirted victim Of As
promonte, rose in various parts Of Italy
and commenced marching toward Rome,
being led, in the case OF one OF the
larger mobs, by Menotti Garibaldi,
son Of the revolutiouist
No sooner was the uprising known in
Rome than Napoleon, bound by the con.
vention of September, 1866, felt called
upon to interfere for the safety Of the
temporal sovereignty Of the Pope. He
at once commenced military prepara-
tious, and massed force of troops and
vessels at Toulon, q naval station on the
south coast of France, and not far from
the shores Of Italy. At the same time,
he informed Victor Emmanuel that,
unless Italy should preserve the Pope
against the insurrectionists, France
would assume the task, Victor Em-
manuel promised to do so, and there
upon Napoleon ceased his warlike prep.
arations and intrusted the fulhllment OF
the conditions of the September conven-
ton to the Italian King. The latter,
bound equally with France to guarantee
the dominions of the Pope against attack,
agreed to carry out his portion Of the
contract, and the Moniteur officially an
nounced the termination of the French
Intervention and the Italian insurrec-
ton.
Thus the matter rested until the mid
die of last week, when Garibaldi made
his escape from Caprera, and placed
himself at the head of the insurgents.
At once the revolution seems to have
assumed formidable dimensions; and
on Friday the French official newspaper
asserted that the Toulon forces had re.
ceived orders to sail for Italy. Garibaldi
is reported to have reached Civita Vec-
CHA, "a place of considerable Importance
on the west coast of Italy, and but q few
miles northwest of Rome Chicago

Curious Change Of Mind.

Here is q characteristic gem Of purest
ray serene, from the Ohio Radical leader,
Senator Wade, previous to the election
in that State;
"You must storm the Sabastopol of the
Almighty and shell Him from His throne,
before the principles of the Democratic
party can predominant
There is reason to believe that this pro-
fame Senator-who has been selected by
his party to be the " Provisional Presi'
dent after the President has been de-
posed-now entertains different opin'
ion concerning the possibility Of Demo
cratic success. For this, it is stated, is
now his language;
"The d-d nigger, and the Cd id
bonds, have given the State to the id
copperheads."

TIE IberpiUe South is discussing the
question in regard to the degeneration
Of sugar cane in Louisiana. Col. Den
nett says that this question was dis
cussed many years ago, and wound up
with the general conclusion that the
alarm on this question was groundless.
We have no doubt the burning of the
baggasse has proved detrimental to the
crop, and that if all the leaves, tops and
baggasse could be returned to the soil,
it would be of immense advantage. If
the sugar lands of this State hsd not
been the richest and most inexhaustible
on earth, the severe cropping which they
have had to endure would have long
since ruined them. The creole cane-a
small, light green, delicate plant--has
evidently been deteriorating for fifteen
years or more. 1t is now rarely seen,
and only in little patches in gardens
1t now never grows half as large as
formerly, and the joints are short. The
ribbon and red cane are nearly the only
kinds planted in the Geld.-M o. CreS-

For tho PUBLIC LKDGKR.l
"White Mulio and Black Musien

For tho PUBLIC LKDGKR.l
"white Music and Black Music"
"Give the niger his due" is an apo
thegm very frequently used by many who
would be puzzled to say how much or
how little they mean by that expression.
For ourselves, we have always held, and
will continue TO hold, an opinion that,
in many instances, the niger does really
receive more than his due at the hands
Of the white man; and that, too, not
merely from the fanatical Radicals who
profess to find in him "a man and a
brudder," but even from the Southern
people themselves. We shall just select
one subject for illustrating the truth Of
this remark.
1t is we'll known that there exists in
this city (and not in this city alone), one
or two parties of harmonious niggers,
who, besides pursuing the various avo-
cations during the day for which they
are fitted, such as the tonsorial art,
whitewashing, ETC., are in the habit in
the evening, Of making music for de
white folks" In other words, they pro-
fess to have musical bands ID and lay
themselves open for engagements for
balls Q), dancing parties, etc. Now,
while we consider it to be perfectly le-
gitimate for these humble followers of
the art of music, to provide for the
amusement of their colored brethren,
we must soy that, when musical
Quashee and Sambo endeavors
to appropriate to themselves the busl-
ness which should properly belong to
the qualified white musician, they are
rather too aspiring in their ambition.
Yet it is fact, that these pseudo niger
musicians actually do wrest away many
dollar which ought otherwise to find its
way into the pockets of the properly
qualified musician, who must be ex'
pected to feel sorely aggrieved that his
walk in life should be incroached upon
by incompetent and ignorant pretend
ers. After all, the chief part of the
blame rests with those who employ black
"iddlers " in preference to white musi-
clans; and certainly those doing 80 can
not be surprised if they should be
considered wanting ia taste and en-
lightenment. In the approaching win
ter season, when sickness, as we de-
voutly hope, may have passed from
amidst US, and trade revives, it may be
reasonably expected that the festivities
of former seasons will be resumed We
cannot but think, therefore, that for such
occasions, our people should encourage
the abilities of our white providers OF
sweet music, and leave the "harmo'
nious" niger to fiddle to his own
proper culed folks"

wanted-A $4,000 Democratic Majority

Wanted-A $4,000 Democratic Majority.
The Democrats of New York should
not fail to realize how much depends
upon their success in the approaching
election. By success we mean not merely
Democratic gains, like those which have
cheered our hearts in Ohio, nor bare
Democratic majority like that which our
friends in Pennsylvania won after an
arduous contest, but majority, clear,
solid and overwhelming, cf anywhere
from 25O00 to $4,000. This is what is
needed to give the Empire State the
leadership in the future of the Demo-
cratic party this is what is needed to
crown and complete the solid work Of
reconstruction which has only just
began.
We repeat our warning that the Demo
Gratis of this State, unlike those of the
States which have held their elections
already, have the general activity of
their opponents to contend against and
not a general apathy. Every Republican
vote will be rot to the polls that energy
we'll applied and money lavishly spent
can possibly get there. From all parts
of the State our letters inform us that the
Republicans are struggling with might
and main. They are stumping the State
as thoroughly as they did Obi their
best speakers are brought here from
other States, and, of the few days which
remain, not one hour will be lost which
they can devote to stemming the tide
that threatens to engulf them in a dlsas-
trous defeat.
They know their peril perfectly well.
They know that if New York comes
sweeping in to the Union column with
victorious Democratic majority of
twenty to fifty thousand that is the end
of them and all their works. Therefore
it is that they are all, from Governor
Fenton down to the lowest canal thieves,
working with such desperation now.
To encounter successfully and over
whelmingly the energies of desperate
men is no child's play; it means steady,
thorough work on the part OF every
active Democrat in every school district
in the State Nothing less than this will
win, and this will A bare and beggarly
majority of few thousand votes ought
not to satisfy the Democracy Of the
Empire State. They should be contented
with nothing less than fifty thousand.
But for this they must work.
New York city, we can tell our friends
in the country, is getting well wa ked up,
The registration on the lst and I'd of
November will open the eyes of those
who have fancied that in this end of the
State the faithful sleep. We shall do a
good days work here when the election
comes, and we only ask the counties,
from Erie to Montauk, to do their best
as we shall do ours. But we want
majority Of $4,000 That is the point.
One or two changes in every school dis
trict will do the business, and nothing
less than $4,000 can content those who
desire to sec New York lead the Democ-
rscy in the struggles and the triumphs
Of ls6S.-Nelc York World.

other assays were made in New York,
Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia, with
similar results. A stock company,
known as the Rensselaer, County Gold

of $780, 900. Vandercook, the swindler,
sold all the stock, and then left for parts
unknown. After waiting for months for
him to return, and open his rich mines
in Pittstown," the stockholders have at
last discovered how the gold mine was
manufactured. The gold and quartz
found on the farm, and assayed by DR..
Scranton and others, came from Colo

farm by Vandercook. who is now at
