lished statistics that the cotton
crop, which in 1860 was 4,675,OOO
bales, was reduced in 1866 to l.
100000. The sugar crop Of Loui-
siana which in 1860 was $4,000
hogsheads, was in 1866 but $4,000
only about one seventeenth of
that Of 1860. And yet 1866 was
a good sugar year.
All this means that the negroes,
since they became free, have not
lcorked. The lands are as capable
iof production as they ever were,
the planters have been exceeding
" anxious to retrieve their broken
fortunes by extraordinary exer-
tions, the negroes are not dimin-
ished in number except from the
vile and peStilent habits they have
INDUCED in since they got their
freedom, and the startling decline
in the amount of the South's great
staple productions can be the re-
suit Of nothing but the the gener-
al inclination of the freedmen, in
view Of anticipated confscation
or something else, to live by steal
ing rather than by labor, although
every possible inducement to Ia
Dor has been offered them.
The Richmond Va Wing gives
a striking illustration of the worth
lessness Of the freedmen in that
State. Every effort has been made
in that State to raise large quanti-
ties of wheat since the war. The
Richmond and Danville Railroad
runs through the richest and
most productive wheat portion of
that State. The quantity Of wheat
received in Richmond from that
road in 1856 was 452, ,546 bushels,
and yet in 1867, although the
road in question had obtained, by
the opening OF the railroad line
into North Carolina, the command
Of a fertile and extensive region
whose trade it had not previously
controlled, it brought into Rich
mond but 53, $40 bushels, showing
a falling off, in a single one of the
chief staples and money crops of
Virginia, of 100000 bushels-a
loss of a million of dollars in one
part of the State in one article of
production. And this was the
result of negro Incidence and vag-
abondism; and we may add to
this loss the vast amount of steal
ing done by the negroes to sup
port themselves without labor.
Their work was invoked every
where, contracts with them were
sought, good wages were offered
them, they had earnest advice
from their old employer, but all
was of no avail. The radical EN-
iSsaries were among them, and
they were taught to believe thai
lazineSS would make their for
tunes and establish their suprema
cy, and that they would be liber
ally supplied from the North Will
whatever they wanted and couldn'
steal. And now, as they have
/ stolen about all that there was tt
steal, and their promised North
| ern supplies don't come in, they
| are starving. Ills a great pit,
: that the white radical mischief
; makers far guiltier than them
: selves, are not starving with them

THE NEW SYSTEM OF LIFE INSURANCE
IMPROVEMENTS.

The simplest and best thing ever done II,
improving Life Insurance was the adoption of
the system of CLASSIFYING LIVES by the
AMERICAN POPULAR LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY. BY this plan the F." best rsksu are
insured In a class by themselves and inferior
risks in other classes, each class being distinct
paying its own losses, and sharing its own
surplus each as 1T were a separate COMPANY
but all under one management.
This classification divides those persons who
would be insured by other Companies into AZ
least four distinct classes The basis of tina
classification are
INHERITED LONGEVITY,
CON ST TlTU TON, EALTH,
VOCATION, INTELLIGENCE.
That is to say, that persons of long-liycd
ancestry, good constitution, health, habits, &c.
are classed with those similar TO themselves In
these respects, and persons with inferior ad
vantages in other classes, the premiums varying
with the classes.
The best class hare the advantage of lo,rer pye-,
miuns, and more rapid and greater increase OF
the surplus and cdlue Of policies than can be-,
afforded by any other system or COmDdnu as IA,
being separately cldssed, they are reliered of he
great burden and expense Of paying the numerous
losses Of the naturally shorter Hred, and CON-
The effects of this classification in individual
cases can easily be determined through cores,
pOndence, or by calling at the Company'S
office, where an examination and full explana-
tiOn can he had without charge.
AS being the only one originated entirely in
this country, this is called the AMERICAN
SYSTEM OF LIFE INSURANCE,

had in view the perfectiDg of a plan whose
methods of business should be entirely free,
from the mystifcations and inequities unden
which Life Insurance in the old or European
system had so long labored, and which at the
same time should be popular, or simple and
easily understood by all. 49, -
The peculiar features and the details OF its
business are fully and plainly set forth in its
circular and other publications, which, together
with an official report showing its unparalleled
success up to January, 1868, can be obtained at
the Company's Office, or will be promptly mailed
to any address. -
The officers desire ii to be fully understood that
they hold Themselves in readiness to discuss tho
methods and principles Of the Company, before
the public in any manner that may be desired,
feeling sure that their greatest publicity triH in
sure its greatest success.

THE Ku-Klux Democrats OF the
South are 10th to quit their bloody
business. They are bent upon having
another revolution and civil war; and
no possible change of tone In the
Democracy of the North can divert
them from their intent. The Memphis
Avalanche, commenting upon the re-
suit of the recent elections, says:
"The Democracy of the South must
not give up all for lost. The blunders
of the past must In the future be avoid
eds party organization must be perfect
ed; harmony among the leaders be pre-
served. against carpet bdlgeTS, scala
rag and LhiedeS in Office zoe must G0dge a
aoGr to the knife. The negro governments
III the South must be oVeTtNToIDn; the re-
construction policy Of Congress abolished;
the dTistOcTdey of bOndhOLdeTS and Ma
tioHdt banks abolished"
This only makes it more clearly evil
dent that nothing but the election OF
General Grant can possibly give peace
to the country. An angel at the head
ofthe democratic party would be power.
less to restrain the bloody purposes OF
the Southern wing of that party. No
possible change OF candidates or OF
platform by the Democratic party
would secure peace. Only Gen. Grant,
backed by the loyal people of the Re-
public. ana by the tried Union Generals
of the army, can give us peace and
prosperity.
