TRYING to Cheat the Freedmen.

In our issue of yesterday we mentioned
that Parson French, in speech delivered
during the late Wilson uproar, declared that
"fhe co'oredrdc scos on protection as to ats
use Of The ballot" and as corroborating the
view that the Radical party would sell out
the freedmen in a moment, if to their advan-
tage, we cali attention to the following from
the Nashville Gazette: :
The Radicals are profuse in their protesta-
tions of friendship" for the negro, and never
cease to remind the late slaves of the mani
fold obligations they are under. to their
" "friends"-the Radicals--for. the. rights of
person and property, and especially for the
right of suffrage. Abundant evidence, how
ever, has been given that the Radicals intend
to be the masters of the late slaves and that
" free to vote" means free to vote as tho
Radicals direct. Anything like manly free
dom in the expression Of their own choice at
the polls the Radicals deny, to the colored
race. with denunciations and threats of loss
OF favor if they vote the Conservative ticket
In Boston, where many negroes voted the
Democratic ticket, they drew upon themselses
the violent displeasure of Radical i6nTrnaI
so Unexpectedly expressed that a New YoTI
Radical paper rebuked the Intolerance and
bigotry of its Boston contemporary ii nre: =
tending to the right to chastise the negraes rs y
for votipg.as they aSt'--{lse5e eiiss,ss'
The St. Louis Democrat says if the; blacks s.
cas..the:r.yotes with the Conservatives thew.
will furnish justification for the claim, fbsf
they "afe no more Jftto cote shd, iLorsles or {
males" And in the same article Il demon M q
s,rates the hypocrisy and moeksry Of Radical !:
pretentions of love for. the negro, and desire.
for his true freedam and equality, by flie

Two important decisions wererendered in
the Supreme Court of Louisiana on the 18th.
In the case. of .dainemigLt vs.. Bridges, the
court holds that no recovery can be had for
notes given for purchase of slaves. In the
case of Bower vs.. shasckeliord, the court
holds, a, previously decided, that no recovery.
can be had for notes based or Confederate
money. In other words, such money was IL
legal and no consideration ;eand further, that
notes signed before the passage of the stamp
law does not require to be stamped to'be used

r roIiiiesai Apathy \ ork. Z

= =
The New York correspondent Of The eba.-
lesion Mercury, of late date, says:
There is an amazing apathy among New
Workers in regard TO political matters. Th,.
cases now before the Supreme Court, though
the most important ever before that tribunal,
are hardly ever mentioned except in the
newspapers. Every body seems bent on look
ing out for number one, ard letting number
two.do the best he can for himself. You might
tall, to . hundred merchants about politics,
and nnety-nine of them would say" It will
come on: ali right" New York merchants,
bankers, etc, as o class are anything but rad
ica. You won't find one in twenty to indorse
the principles of Stevens and Summer, nor
more than the same proportion to protest
against them. This is the trouble The mon.
eyed men go on with their business, whatever
it may be, and never bother themselves about
politics. No one can doubt that much OF the
legislation of the past two years might have
been prevented if the men of capital had
made a vigorous protest againstlt. II Stew
art, Claflin, Astor, and o. HUNDRED ether mil
lionaireS had said to Congress last Year:
" our course is running the country 1T is
Jul We SlPpOllS1 tac:
war because we wanted the Union restored;
you are preventing restoration, dcrauging
business and paralyzing enterprise; We want
the Union restored nov, without ifs or butts,
and as men deeply Interested in the prosper
ity Of the country, we Insist thatit shall be
restored" iihc capitalists had taken some
such ground as this, they would haye had the.
masses at their backs aud Congress would
hare been constrained to act Justly. But
they stood aloof, neutral if you plcase-and
rccklcssness and fanaticism ruled. They are
now rcaping the fruits Of their indifference in
para!yzed trade and decreasing bank accounts.
Who will say that it does not serve them Just
right But unfortunately the heaviest shar,
,of the suffering falls to the masses. The ,ni::
lionaires arc safe enough, but the working
men must groan under heavy taxes. Bat
suppose the politicians rush the country into
bankruptcy aud reputation. When that
time comes-and many believe it is coming
the miIlionaires may have reason to regret
that they did not speak when they should have
spoken: So l2i'<

MARKETs---REMARkS AND QUOTATIONS..

PETERSBURG, Nov. 21, 1867.
In some branches of trade business is
rather better this week than for some weeks
past. Bacon has advanced materially, and
you know this is an important meat market,
most of the planters trading with the city
getting their supplies here in preference to
to raising pork for their own use The
receipts of cotton are increasing, but are not
more than half of What they were last year.
Planters are, many of them, holding back,
awaiting the action of Congress. Some be-
lieve and many hope, that the tax will be
removed, thus enabling them to realize two
and half cents per pound more than at
present. The hope will probably prove
utterly delusive; but supposing the tax
taken off, will not the market price of cotton
be affected by it2 Some of our merchants
think the price would soon rccede to the
extent of the tax. and so it doubtless would
if there was no foreign demand; but as our
prices are governed by the Liverpool mar
ket, there would probably he no Immediate
decline here. The number of buyers are not
so numerous as they were year ago. but it
is understood that a good many orders are
waiting to be filed. Some inactivity is
caused by the stoppage, more or less partial
of the northern factories, which, in the
present depressed state of cotton goods,
cannot be worked at profit. Tobacco is
SCly oo"s Iuuo
the belief that planters are using more pains
in preparing it for market than they did
year ago, when it was hurried N in loose
and negligent manner. Wheat and flour
condtinue about the same, the receipts of the
former being small, with but little active de-
mand.
We give the following quotations:
CoTToN.-There was slight rally at the
opening of the market yesterday (Wednes-
day morning, when sales were made at TIC.
Subsequently the price declined to 1910,
and this is about the state of the market to-
day-say 16 to 163c., according to quality.
A fancy article, 1t is thought, would COM
mand 4c. more, but no sale at this price has
transpired.
ToBAcco-Good descriptions are in de-
mand at full prices, but of such there is
very little in market Inferior grades are
in but little request. When the stock in
creases, prices will be given more spe-
cifcally. ......
BAcoN.-Virginia scarce and in demand
at 10 to 20c., hog round hams, 22c. The
supply of western is good; shoulders, 143
to 15c.; sides, 164 to TIC.
FLoUR-Market steady at $12 to $3.50
1or superfne $13 to $14 for extra, and $15
to $16 for family
WHEAT Fair to choice white, SO 80 to |
$3.50; fair to good red, So to 1896.
CoRN-Good demand at 81 20 to 81 90 |
Tor DID, 81 for new.
