The southern politicians take to honey-iugling
the negro voters as naturally as If they had been
at it all their lives. The Lynchburg (Ya } Demo
cratic Mirror says awe are glad to see that in
various parts of the South the colored population,
with commendahe degree OF good sense, are
realizing the hollowness OF the professions OF
their passions against their former owners and
friends, and are taking counsel of those more fa-
miliar with their habits and condition OF life, who
better understand their necessities aud desires,
and betw zen whom and themselves there is mu-
tuai feeling Of confidence, and respect their old
masters In the same vein, the Fredericksburg
News: "The managers of CO lored Union leagues
will not succeed as they expect. The well-bred
coored people here know who gentlemen, and
they can see plainly the baseness and selhshness
and vulgariiy of the white knayes who attempt to
become theii political masters by swearing them
into Union leagues"

We are not surprised by the Connecticut election.
Both Connecticut and New Jersey are so nearly
balanced that the New Workers, who own multi
tudes Of manufacturing establishments in both States,
can carry both when they turn the screws hard
enough and spend money enough The fact that the
Republicans have carried the Legislature Of Conn.
and the Democrats the State ticket shows that the
latter have won by their majorities in the large
manufacturing towns and cities Al the same time
Iowa, Miemgan ANS ohio show increased Repuhli-

SCOT and Manure

Every owner or occupant of house has
a considerable quantity of SCOT at com
mand, the presence of which in the stove
pipe or chimney is often the cause Of des-
tructive fires, causing sometimes loss o.
property and life. SCOT is one of the most
valuable manures, and nothing but the
most culpabie earelessness and Indifference
will suffer it to remain a standing menace
to life and property, when it can be easily
removed and turned to good account in the
field or garden. Twelve quarts of SCOT in
a hogshead of water will make a powerful
liquid manure, which will improve the
growth of flowers, garden vegetables or
root crops. In either a liquid or solid
stateit makes an exc ,llent top dressing for
grass or cereal crop.

unsuccessfully -to furnish other articles f
daily need, up to that time exclusively Of
foreign production. Necessity being the
mother of invention-as may be remem-
bered by the unregenerate who recall the
entire beds of the late Confederacy-
these wise men hit upon the culture Of the
beet root, as. something that would give
the Frenchman his ear sucro and his dian

the Indies are open. the crop has been a

stated, is now its leading agricultural pro
duct, excelling in value even bread-stuffs
or the vine. How true this may be, one
thing at least is evident, that the culture
of beet root sugar is profitable elsewhere,
and it is reasonable to suppose it would be
so here. It's soil, if we are not mistaken,
need by no means be of the first quality,
and in this view there is many now use

Beet Root Sugar .

At Chatsworth, in the State Of Illinois,
aioint stock company, with a capital Of
very near million, has gone into the oul-
ture of beet root sugar. This, as we hear,
is, in all essential qualities, about the same
article as the cane sugar, aud its produc-
ton, it isyestimated, win pay handsomely.
At least so well satisfied is this company
of the fact that they purchased thirteen
square miles of land at an original outlay
of $6l3, 900. The annual cost of opera
lions ia estimated at 1926 500, and the
income computed at S607, 600, giving. a
profit Of $3.50, 500, or, at rough calcula-
ton, of about forty-fve per cent on the
original outlay. Four and a half millions
of pounds are counted on as the annual
yield, and this, in the estimate above Civ
en-, it is proposed to sell at about seven and
a half cents per pound. From the accred-
tied shrewdness Of our Northern brethren,
it can readily be conceived that an opera
ton which did not promise TO be a perfect
success would not be ventured on VI o.
50 large a scale, and it is for our farmers
aud planters to consider the propriety f
taking steps toward the culture of beet
root themselves. The soil of the State
which produces so luxuriantly the sweet
potatos, The fig, and the sorg hum cane
must be rich in sacchariue iuiees-richer
by far than that of the far Northern Hi
nois. and doubtless the yield of sugar
would be greater from any given quantity
Of the root here than there. The culture
Of this vegetable for the purpose of ex
tracing sugar therefrom, dates we believe
at least, that is to any extent-from the
time Of The FIRST Napoleon, when the Brit
ish.cruiseFs cut France from her Indian
supplies, and the ingenuity Of her savans
was taxed TO discover some substitute, as
IN fact it was also appealed to-and no

All over the North we hear of conflicts
between the laboring men and capitalists
The capitalists demand reduction in the
price of labor. This demand the mechan-
les refuse to comply with, urging as a rea-
son that the high price Of the necessaries
Of life, even at their present wages, leaves
them no margin of profit beyond decent
subsistence. It appears that the capitalists,
after having acquired wealth from the pro-
duct of the labor Of mechanics, desire to
place it beyond their power to ever rise
above the level of dependent. The sla-
very of the majority of the laboring men
at the North is more absolute than ever
African slavery in The South.
, From present appearances, we believe
the movement will result in the organiza-
tlon of a working mans party. And we
do not see why they should not unite, both
in the North and South, when Il becomes nc
oessary to protect themselves against CAPT
talisls or anybody else.-Monitor.
