The New Orleans Picayune says: ''We regret to
hear it said that some planters in the richer por-
tions of this State and Mississippi purpose to give
up planting and removing eithor to some city or
90 abroad. The reason is that they cannot hope
to secure labor enough TO carry on their planta-
tions to any large extent, and that the insolence
and exactions of the freedmen make life there
quite unpleasant"
Wouldn't it be well for the colored folks to con-
slider the fact that the wonderful changes in sent-
ment in Kentucky, Connecticut and California, to
say nothing of other Northern States is simply
opposition to negro or mixed suffrage. We advise
them to think about it well before they throw
themselves into the troublesome sea of political
strife. The end is not yet, and the whites will
rule this continent.
At the present time Brazil furnishes large pro-
portion of the diamonds Of Commerce, the celebra-
ted mines of Golconda being so nearly exhausted
as to rent for few dollars year. Other localities
in India, are however, rather more prolific. In the
United States they have been obtained in Ruther-
ford county, North Carolina, and in Hall county,
Georgia, and very recently quite number have
been found in California, principally in Ell Dorado
and Amador counties.
The Boston Advertiser Of Saturday says ''Thc
three cases which have come up in succession in
the United States Circuit Court in this city, have

emptory order to the Southern railroads to pay up

Government rolling stock sold to them, the result

punctual, and now make monthly payments on
their indebtedness. The reports received show
much improvement in business on these roads
lately"
The New York World argues that inasmuch as
the reconstruction acts do not provide for the dis
frarchisement or disquaiH cation OF the persons
proposed to be excluded frun Office by the consti-
tutional amendment, but only Of those who are SO
excluded, and as person is yet excluded by that
amendment, for the very good reason that it has
not been ratified, therefore person in the South
can rightfully be excluded either from the polls or
from Office The logic is good enough but, then,
the facts do not agree with it.
The Boston Post, referring to the wealth and
power of TANDEKBnT, says 'His ships are In
the navy and on all the seas. He draws check
at sight for million, and yet this man can ave
no higher amusement than whist Oh, incapa-
CITY of cash to cover trails Of ten thousand con-
tinuous miles with lines OF ships, and yet exclalm,
ssThere's nothing richer than whist !" 70 count
four aces nobler than railway To say "My

The National Iatettigencer gives FoRNEY the fol-
lowing greeting on his rather unexpe cted return
from Europe: s'The most significant intmation of
the dire distress of the Radical faction is the sud-
den and unexpected return to this country of the
great manager Of election frauds, the editor OF
my two newspapers, both daihes.' His subordi-
mates here were astounded last night by the an
rouncement by telegraph that he had arrived in
New York. The Radical leaders have discovered
that there is work to be done that no one else can
do as well"

the Greek Legation, charges OMAR PAcHA with
practcing deceit in order to palliate his conduct
and state that he obtained certificates from some
of his feow-soldiers denying the reports of cruel
ties, with vew Of influencing public opinion by
the interested statement of those in the pay OF
Turkey. The Cretans say the facts can be proved
by eye-witnesses that OMAR PAsHA, on returning
from Sphakia burned all the villages in his rear in
the province of ST. Basile, the most notable Of
them being Mystos, Lencogia, and the monastery
of Previh.
The New York Gazette says ga student who
stood among the first in one of our New York
medical colleges was graduated last spring as a
regular doctor in medicine. He thought to finish
his education in Scotland, and applied for admis
sion at the University Of Edinburgh. To his as
4,,;sbnnenh he found he coud not pass the pre-
lminary examinations. Before he could gain ad-
mission to the University, he must pass an exami-
nation in French, Greek, Latin, arithmetic, mathe
matics, mechanics, hydrostatics, logic, the out
lines of thought, botany, chemistry and zoology.
To graduate at New York medical college he
could be in utter ignorance of all these things save
chemistry.
