MOULDED COLLARS

Are the foundation of the immense business now done in Paper Collars, and the present sale of them nearly equals that of all other makes combined. They have been made from uniform stock from the commencement, which now costs 33 per cent. more than that used in the production of any other Cellar-conse- quently they cost Ms dealer more. Therefore, when consumers are urged to buy other makes at the same prices as GRAY'S, it is because the inferior goods pay more profit

Connecticut Election.

Political parties in Connecticut are
bestirring themselves in lively man
ner during tis4 present week, and are
exerting every energy in order to secure
success at the election to lie held next
Monday. Until the uncertain ques-
tions now before the people are settled
by IA final vote, but little saved politics,
will receive any thought or attention.
50 equally is the State divided between
the Democrats and Republicans, and so
we'll balanced are the chances of sue
cess that no one will venture to pre-
diet the result with confidence. The
Springfield Republican says:
II would seem to be certain that
while the Republicans carry their Con-
pressman. Mr.. Starkweather, of Nor
wich. in the latter district, it is equally
certain they will lose one in the New
Haven district, where Julius Hotchkiss
is the Democratic candidate, and Prof.
Cyrus Northrop, of Yale College, the
Republican. Beyond these conceded
results the elections may fairly be held
doubtful.
GEORGE W. CURTIS, CARL SCHURZ and
other we'll known orators have taken
the stump in the Republican interest.
r. +. BARSUM is also ostensibly enlisted
i'll the same cause, but from the charac-
ter and effect of his eanvassing he is
admitted by both sides to be doing effic-
lent service in the cause of Democracy.
The Democratic State Central Commit
Zee have secured the services of Gen. +,
2. BLAIR, Gen. JAMES STRADMAN, (ol
Ohio Hon. $. $. Cox, Hon. JOHN l.
HOFFMAN, and Others. The canvass Is
one that attracts very general attention
and IT'S result, TO be shown by the cleo
ton OH Monday, will be awaited with
much interest.

Editing Under Dimcali,es.

The editor of the .Sarannah Republican
has got himself locked up i'll Jail fol
some cause not fully explained, but, as
We are left to infer, OH account of some
indi.creet expressions of libellous
character. and addresses himself to his
readers as follows:
During onr incarceration in Chatham
county Jail. the end whereof we cannot
at present predict, we shall have to ask
the kind indulgences of our readers for
any omissions of duty, as we'll rs ed
itorial and reportorial inaccuracies
which may appear IN these col
umns. The obstacles that beset us
in orr confinement and the
disadvantages under which we
labor, while endeavoring to discharge
our duties as public journalist, are
manifold, in spite of the generous treat
ment and facilities afforded us by our
hospitable jailer, Mr.. Waring Russell,
whose kindness we never can forget.
All business connected with the edito-
rial department of the Republican will
until further notice be transacted in
this Jail. where our friends are cheer
fullN permitted 10 Nlsit uS at ScdSoud-
bic hours. While We shall be glad to
meet our friends and those who believe
in sustaining a free. Independent and
untrammeled press, which mo favor
wins. nor fear can ave." we do not
purpose giving any formal reception, or
holding any levee.
The editor says he enjoys extraordi-
nary advantages for thorough review
of the political States. He also
hopes for healthful change of senti-
ment. referring probably to the neces-
sity for his incarceration, and discOurses
teelingly upon the present disagree
able state of affairs" With reference
10 reconstruction he says:
"Wisdom would seem to dictate q
quiet acquiescence and our making Of
necessity virtue
If wrong in these views, he expects
10 have his ideas corrected.

The sou,hern Negro Vote.

There are many Indications OF alarm
ON the part of the Radicals, lest the ne
sro vote of the South may be divided
or cast adversely to the interests Of
.'loyalty" at future elections. The dis
position manifested by the darkies in
various localities to preserve friendly re-
lations with representative Southern
white men. and TO receive from them
suggestions and advice in political mat
ters, is indicative of II new danger to
Radicalism, hitherto unthonght Of.
Some OF rbe Republican newspapers are
already abusing the negroes, and COM
planning that if they use their po-
litical power under the counsel OF
their former masters, the South
instead of being politically annihi-
lated under the SHERMAN plan, a. was
intended, will only be strengthened and
consolidated thereby. The South, 1t IS
said. has been forced to negro enfran-
chisement, a very distasteful and obnox-
ions step, but by swallowing the nans-
-ous dose, she not only entities herseii
IN representation, but to increased repre-
sentation, since voters are henceforth
to he the basis. If Southern men can
control the negro vote, the power OF the
rebeilious States has only been increas-
I'd nv the measures adopted to curtaii
IL, and that power may at any time be
directed to the destruction of the inter-
.sts of .'loyalty" throughout the coun-
try.
Such is the trepidation some OF the
Radical papers are displaying, and while
We think that their fears are groundless
and that loyalty" and Africa VIII
vravitate toward each other and unite
by reason Of powerful constitutional
affinity. it is nevertheless quite divert
ing to witness the alarm of the negro
lovers in view of a supposed contrary
possibility. Pious and pedantic Massa'
rhusetts is especially exercised. She
has an educational suffrage standard,
applicable alike to whites and blacks.
Under this test many Of both races are
disfranchised, although they have been
represented. According to the Consti-
tutional Amendment this class will
not be counted in fixing hel
representation under new ap
portionment; the Bay State will lose
one or more members in Congress, while
South Carolina, with universal sui
frage, will gain two or three, 1t VII

be quite consoling to the victims OF
Massachusetts, philanthropy to reflect
that she must submit to the Same dos
ings Of political quackery which she
has helped administer to the South, or
lose considerable portion of her weight
and influence in the national conncils
The following specimens Of newspa,
per sentiment will serve to show very
marked change in Radical opinion, has
tened, undeniably, by fear of ina
bility to control the negro vote. The
New York Tribune says of its darkey
pets:
"Many of them are mean, scampish
| loafers, who choose to live by tbiev.
ing, selling rum or pandering to lewd-
ness, rather than by honest industry;
some blacks who have been kindly
treated, will vote under the intiu-
ence of their old master, and Others
again, being grossly ignorant, will
vote under the influence Of fear, or,
being dependent, will vote so as to
curry favor With the powerful"
/. Itss Washington correspondent dis
courses in somewhat similar strain:
. Information has reached here from
trustworthy source to the effect that the
reconstruction ratification meeting held
in Columbia, South Carolina, the other
day, at which. Wade, Hampton spoke,
turns out to be o farce Of The most dis
graceful character. No freedmen were
present Of their OwR accord with the ex-
ception of Beverly Nash, one of the
with few of his followers,
who are known 10 the colored men gem
orally as "Black CopperheadS." Nash's
speech was repetition of former efforts
in that line, and made at the dicfdtion Of
ceriaia rebel mkites. He receives a salary
from them, and is employed for 70 other
purpose than to work against the iDfu-
enoe of the Radical Union Leagues.
which are, in the control of white Union
lists and freedmen mho denounce him as a
malignant traitor to his race. He is mu
latto, and was witness in the Bureau
Investigations made by General Scott
when. General Ely was removed from
the charge of the Columbia District, at
which time he gave testimony in direct
contradiction to that Of hundreds Of
other freedmen. Since then he has been
entirely ignored by his colored brethren,
and has found consolation in the bosom
of the white Rebels. ,...-..
