A Nashville correspondent Of a Mis-
sissipp paper says:
Il is generally understood here, 1 be.
lieve, that colored Conservatives viii be
sent 10 Congress, while the colorcd poo'
pie will support Southern men for Stale
officers. IL we cannot get rid OF Brown
low the country will be ruined. There
never was people so crushed by taxa,
ton as this. Our Radical masters spend
more in one year than was appropriated
By the Legislature in five years before
the war Our city government is losing
caste, and before It's two years term has
expired, if il continues TO progress in
WAYS Of wiekedness, IL will be q thous-
and fold worse than the famous ring that
was overthrow last fall.
1.-THE Tennesseeans,a Interchange says,
can exchange such men in Congress as
Stokes aud Maynard for decent negroes
ike Williams and Nash, they will make
an excellent bargain. The Radicals
have long wished to get negroes into
Congress, and there is now fair pros
pect that they will be grati6ed. Several
Of the Southern States are proposing to
make the same agreement with the ne
groes that the correspondent above says
is contemplated by the Tennessee Con-
seryatiyes If the arrangement be
carried into execution, the present Con-
gress will not End its level, but will be
elevated somewhat above it.

have better, this time, than they have
done during Booths former visits; that
they won't poster him with notes, mob
him in the streets, drop snowy handker-
chiefs in the hope that he will pick them

THE NEGRO EXPERIMENT WORKED
OUT IN JAMAICA.

The British Parliament gave qualified
negro suffrage to the negroes of Jamaica,
as long ago as l834-and then removed
the qualification. by decreasing the tax
to a very small amount, SO that any
working negro could vote. The expert
ment has worked so badly as to elicit the
following remarks from the New York
Tribune at is somewhat remarkable
coincidence that just at the time when
the right of suffrage has been conferred
upon the freedmen of the South, the
negroes Of the most important OF the
British West India possessions should
have been summary deprived of that
right" The Government Of Jamaica,
says the Louisville Courier, has been
handed over BY the British Government
to council appointed by the Grown,
and the Legislature of Jamaica is abol-
ished, negro and all), and this, too, on
the petition of the people of Jamaica, to
be rid of the horrible position in which
free negro suffrage has placed them all.

row Judge Geo. G. Hough, or some
prominent Western man, will be sent in.
DR.. b. Sears, general agent of the Pea
body fund, has issued circular giving
detailed statement of the manner in
which the trustees propose to apply the
charity. He says the general aim will
be to encourage and aid common schools
in the South, and that schools may be
established and supported by superin-
tendents by Southern people themselves.
Apart from this leading object the found
ing and maintenance of schools does not
come within their plan.

coMBusrIBLE PAPER.

Il is Iststed by London paper that
there is common reddish-yellow paper
which, in some circumstances, is as
dangerous as gunpowder. 1t takes fire
by the smallest spark, and burns like
finder. When once lighted, if left alone,
it is sure to be consumed completely.
All the yellow and buff paper out Of
which envelopes are made partakes more
or less Of the same character. A spark
Of FIRE or the stump of lighted cigar
falling in a waste basket containing
yellow envelopes, with other kinds Of
paper, would have a good chance Of set
ting the whole on ere, aud causing a
general conaagration.
