government. We have shown that
the principal State offices and all
the Congressional nominations are
given to white Radicals. These are
all paying appointments. They will
all be conferred by the colored vote,
if conferred at all. On the other
hand, the city registry shows Con-
sentative majority. The colored
people are then paid off with city
appointments, in great part honorary,
and with nominations which cannot
possibly be elected. Will they take
these leathern medals
We admonish our colored friends
to look sharp lest they be paid off
with nominations for offices which
do not exist, just as is said to have
been done in Memphis.
We may then sum up the possible
result of this election thus: White
Radicals, all the lucrative State
Offices, except some two or three, with
all the members Of Congress, and all
the Federal patronage. The colored
population receiving two or three
State Offices, and various compli-
mentary nominations where they can
scarce by any possibility be elected.
Yet the colored people supply the
whole vote by which these disinter-
ested results are to be secured. Our
pride in the supremacy of cur own
race is somewhat subdued, it is true,
by the equivocal means employed to
assert it.
We stand amazed at the audacity
and skill by which so many thousanos
are to be turned against their fellow
Inhabitants of the South and made to
place in power forlorn handful of
adventures. We cannot believe that
the colored people will allow this wool
to be kept over their eyes, but they
will either claim the fruit of their
own power or bestow it upon white
citizens known to them by a life of
integrity and bound to the same in-
terests with themselves. We are well
satisfied that if the colored people
should put their own conservative
black or white men in the State
offices, that general hegyra or flight
Of the carpet-bags would take place.
Connecticut would no doubt be re-
deemed by her returning thousands,
but Louisiana would be left free from
these adventures for century to
come.

complains that quite number of
"brick" residences have gone up in
that city recently, in which wheel
barrow load of bricks is about all
that is employed. The back and
sides are of wood, and a greater por-
ton of the front also, yet, to evade a
city ordinance, which prohibits the
erection of wooden buildings, hat
full or two of bricks are used about
some portion of the front, and the
structure at once becomes "brick"
house, fre-proof, and conformable
to law.

HINTS TO Book PUBLISHERS
The London Spectator offers some
good suggestions: "Mr. Dickens is
doing good service to book buyers
by pressing the publishers to issue
their books cut. They, of course,
are unwilling, alleging that the ma
jority of purchasers like to cut their
own books, an excuse we do not be-
lieve. Nobody likes trouble for its
own sake, and not one man in fifty
can cut book decently, even if he
is able to find his paper-knife, which
he never is. Besides, the publishers
could issue cut and uncut copies,
charging an extra penny for the for
mer The true difficulty is, that if
books are to De sold cut, they must
be printed on a paper little wider,
machine cutting making the usual
margins little too narrow. If pub
fishers at the time to give US a little
more inner margin, and would COM
pei book binders to put backs little
broader, books would lie open, to the
immense convenience Of everybody
who wants to read them. As it is,
they might as well have clasps,
as they had hundred years ago"

A "SAILING CARRIAGE. The
St. Louis Democrat describes
newly invented sailing carriage"
designed for use of the New Mexico
route
It has two upright jib sails, sail
on each spoke Of the two wheels on
one side Of the wagon, with steering
gear acting on the forward wheels,
aud provision for transferring the
wheel sails to the opposite wheels.
The inventor is MIR. Charles P. Mac
zowwitzsky, German who has been
sailor, and has since spent several
years in traversing the plains. He
relies upon the ascertained constancy
of the prevalent winds on the great
plains over the route named. The
wheels are ten feet high, the wagon
body shaped like long boat and
hung low, and with the jib sails, the
whole concern presents an odd and
formidable appearance. The design
is to take passengers and mail mat
ter only-not freight-and it is ex-
pected that the carriage will suffice
as boat in crossing streams.

and sickness, and danger-foes with

Pilgrim Mothers they had not only
these to endure, but they had the
Pilgrim Fathers, also !! and yet their
names are never mentioned. Who
ever heard of the Pilgrim Mothers s?
Whoever gave dinner in honor to
them? This self-suficiency of the
men is beyond endurance. One
would actually suppose that New
England had been colonized by men,
and their posterity, provided for
by special providence.
