The remaining States have 247 votes. Con.
ceding that the doubtful Northern States will
all 60 for Grant we shall then be driven to
rely solely on those which we have, hereto
fore, considered certain. These are
The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1868-10-15


Total. ........................s
If we add to these the 20 votes of the
Southern States proper, we shall have 161,
or two more than enough to elect, 159 being
a majority of 3l7. But this result depends
upon carrying all of the Southern States We
ventured the statement yesterday that the
election-as to the votes of the States-might
depend on the three States of Virginia, Mis-
sissippi and Texas. Our suggestion is now
amply justified. OF course the votes of those
States will be rejected by Congress, but it is
our duty, and the duty of the people of the
South, to see that our Democratic allies of
the North receive all the aid that we can give
them. If they are willing to accept these
votes and to stand by them to the end, we
must put them into their hands Every con-
sideration of honor, of gratitude, and of
safety, demands this from us.
1t is now plain, as we stated in the begin
ming, that the battle-ground of the campaign
is transferred to the South. 1t is also plain
that it is more than ever our duty and our
interest to carry these States. We must carry
them. We must not only show that We have
done all in our power to assure the success Of
the Democratic party, but we must prove that
Radical power in the South is effectually bro
ken, preparatory to conclusive demonstra-
ton that tho whole scheme of Radical recon
struction is an ignominious failure. Our
people, so far from yielding to depression
and dependency, should rise to meet the de-
mands of the occasion. They should labor
day and night to carry the Southern States,
and, if possible, by such majorities as will
show that Radicalism is in popular minority
in the country even if Grant be elected. Let
us strengthen the hands of our friends and
thereby strengthen our own cause.
Since the above was written telegram has
been received stating that the Democrats in
Indianapolis claim Indiana by 1900 majority.
Of course, if this claim is well founded it COR
roborates the reasoning by which we have
endeavored to prove the necessity Of using
every energy for the purpose of carrying this |
and the other Southern States.
The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1868-10-15

In the two latter States the result is mere
question of registration, If there is fair
registration they will both go for Seymour,
and, as to Missouri, our information is that
the Democrats are quite confident of their
ability to carry the State. Surprising that
we carry the States above named, our vote,
thus far, will be :
Northern States 81
Southern (so-called loyal) States ........... "a
The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1868-10-15

speech in the Virginia Convention.
Bayne, on Friday, arose to speak on the
franchise question, and confined himself for
some time to the attempt 10 prove that the
white race was the inferior one Of the two
He tried to prove that the Egyptians and ante
diludiyites were negroes, and that the white
man, until somewhar in de book of Kings, in
de Ole Testament, he believed, whar some
man whar dey couldn't git de truth out'en,
weut out and become white as leopard. Dat
was de first time de white man was ever heard
on in de Bible. But de white folks WAS like
de horse dat de Orrishman sold to a man, an
tole him he was all right, and when de man
got home he found de horse blind in both eyes.
When he come back to de Orrishman, de Or
rishman say ooh faith, ef de horse is blind,
dat's his misfortune and not his fault. y IT'S
DER misfortune and not deir fault dat dey was
white. He spoke of reading and writing, and
said, in ole times, nobody couldn't write, and
everybody read and wrote by gcogliphlcal tlg,
ures. He asserted that all the arts and
sciences had their origin from the black man
dat music come from him, and he could
outsing anything in God Almighty world.,-
He did not like to 60 on IN dis way, but ne
would do it because he didn't know when he
was goin to git another show at 'em. lie con-
tinued with his usual clap-trap, bringing up,
as he said, the historical pints, until his hour
and half expired. In conclusion, he told the
story of the mill purchased by the captain. A
man wanted to sell a mill which would grind any
thing he want-all he had to do was to say
grind SALT and salt would come; ',sgrindd
sugar." and out it come; grind four and
out IL come. De captain stole de mill, and
carried it of to sea; and when he got there he
started it to grindin salt, but he didn't know
de counterpart, and it KEEP on grindino' and ne
coudn't stop it; and it KEEP on grindin and
grndn until it filled de ship, and drownded it
and de captain and all hands: and it keep on
grindin and grindin until it filled de sea; and
wegot salt to dis day. This was de way with
the affairs in these days. The mill had ground
out Nat Turner, it ground out John Brown,
Abraham Lincoln, and host of yuthers; it had
ground out this war, it had ground the rebels
grindin untel it had got em where they ought

ZONE REVOLUTION OR TWor
To the american artisan:
I assert that if moving wheel is keyed on
to its axis like wheelbarrow wheel, 1t will re
volve but once on its axis in going round sta
tionary wheel, because the axis also goes around
the stationary wheel once. But if the wheel is
not keyed on to its axis, and the axis is held
firm $50 that it cannot turn on itselt) by con-
nection separate from the centre wheel, there
will then be t,vo revolutions OF the revolving
wheel on its axis. HENRY N. STONE.
Boston, Mass, February II, 1868.
THE number of revolutions which the NOV
ing wheel will make on its axis in rolling once
around the fixed wheel will be taoo, whether
the wheel is keyed on or mot keyed d.
The original question was very we'll and direct
ly put; and it requires simple and direct an
swer, without entering into any question as to
the kind of wheel Editors Ama artisan.
This question has been discussed by the

The VALLEY OF VIRGINIA. 1t may surprise
the reader, but we believe it is true, as deca-
red by the Charestown Free Press, that the
Valley Of Virginia is the only section Of this
whole country, North, South, East Or West
from which no complaints are heard of hard
times, scarcity and suffering While, as that
journal says, the starving thousands OF the tar
South, and the struggling, crowded myrlads OF
discharged workmen of the North, send up
piteous wall of woe and want, only peaceful
quiet and almost universal plenty reign in the
favored Valley. Business is growing more and
more brisk-the farming interest each year
more extensive stock rapidly increasing fences
being rebuilt; tenants mutiplying-.while with
the increase of energy, laborers and home pro-
ductiops, the amount of capital of course grows
in proportion, and the money m market becomes
easier. To say, continues the Free Press, that
in such tight times as these all over the land,
there is absolutely no want or need here, would
be an exaggeration, but We do assert, ,-and the
assertion will not lack confirmation, that
there is not section of this whole country
more free from distress or privation, and IN a
greater state of prosperity than the Shenandoah
Valley of Virginia.

TIE PRESIDENT AND THE NEWSPAPER Cor
RESPONDENTS We find, says the Washing
ton Evening Express, the following in the Rich
mond Enquirer Of the 10th instant: We nave
repeatedly expressed similar opinions. 1t IS
out of place for the President of the United
States to permit himself to be pumped by
those who design laying his conversations be-
fore the public. If he has any communications
to make let him do it by official message or pri-
vate letter, and not put himself at the mercy
of men who, however estimable, are apt to care
more for striking paragraph than strict ac-
curacy:
"We regret that the President still permits
the Washington correspondents OF nearly all
the leading journals of the country to use him
as if he were common pump. Every day
some impudent Bohemian takes his note book,
goes to the White House, and fills it with col
umns OF Presidential outpourings from the
mouth Of the loquacious Chief Magistrate OF
the nation. These conversations are reported
With more or less prolixity, and they some
times fill three or four columns OF newspaper.
For some weeks past they have contained moth
Ing new, and they are not consistent with the
dignity Of the Presidents high Office. y
