WHAT TIE DEMOCRATS WILL Do IF SUUCCEssFUL.
Col. John Forsyth, the talented editor of the Mo-
bile Register, who is at Washington writes to his
paper concerning the policy of the Democrats towards
the South in the that they get possession of the
Federal Government:
have taken good deal of pains to learn what are
the sentiments of leading Democrats to the action
OF the party, should it win the administration in the
November contest, in reference to federal policy
ards the South 1t question of the largest prac-
teal interest, WHETHER should the Democracy come
into power, it would leave the whites of the South to
struggle best they could out Of the mre of Radical
reconstruction, whether it would at lift them
out by the strong hand of federal power. get but
one answer to the inquiry and that u.s. the Democracy
will be swift to sweep from the statute book the whole
system OF military and African reconstruction as Ut
tery null and void and of effect, and once to re-
cognise the existing white constitutions of the South
ern States, and redmit the latter their full equality
in the Union must confess that did not personally
need such assurances for when policy and good faith
both point to one course the result is seldom doubt
full. But some Southern friends did deem them neces-
sary. think that before Congress dourls the Dem
ocrats in that body will make further declaration and
pledge TO this effect.

CoLORED DEMOCRATIC CLUBs.-The Radicals in tho

THE ARKANSAS ELEcrIoN.-The Columbia (Ark J
'lndsator of the 18th has the following in relation to
the result of the late election in Arkansas:
The Daily State Gazette of the 5th gives the cleo
ton returns Of 46 counties, in which the majority
against the constitution is 1924 There yet y
counties to hear FROM most of which, is thought will
give maorltles against the constitution. We are at
loss to understand how it is that the Radical papers
throughout the State have succeeded in figuring up
such handsome majority" for their Niger const-
tuition, unless 1t was in accordance with predeter
mined plan on the part of that unscrupuous and cor
rupt party to carry the State all hazards regardless
OF the base frauds which would necessarily have to be
perpeuated in order to accomplish that end Cen
Glilem may yet put new songs in their mouths, and
change their hoop edoo's into wailine and
gnashns OF teeth, and cause them to take from their
mast heoS the flaming buzzards and spread eagles with
which they have lately adorned their columns and re-
place them with Ct inverted nggers"
AS the Radicals still claim the State, it will require
the decision ofGen. Gilern to decide who carried it.

ALABANA.-The report of Gen. Meade, made known

closed two three hours before time specified

dispatches have quoted cotton to arrive at higher fig
ures than on the spot, which, to the uninated is
quite so clear as mud. The circular Of Messrs Cham
bers Co., issued in Liverpool the first Of this month";
assigns two reasons for this unnatural of affairs
One is That buyers pay more in consequence of their
confidence i'll higher range of prices ruling later on
and the other and perhaps the one is the great
facilities for operating, no cash or credit even being
required before the arrival of the cotton hence the
same parcels not unlrequently turned many
