The assumption Of radical sheet that

very stupid blunder. Chicago is demo
cratic city. Six thousand Chicago demo.

than twice that number voted for Gen.

and whom he refused to encourage the At

The Memphis vote is thus divided For
Grant, 535 whites and 4 1913 colored; for
Seymour, 2,436 white and sc colored. In
the congressional contest, there being rival
republican candidates, 3S2 whites voted
for David A. Num-, the present member,
and POI whites for general William j.
Smith, while the colored vote was II for
Num- and 4,2l2 for Smith. Mr.. Num-

1t has already been announced that nu mber of
telegraph men and capitalists OF this country and
Europe had taken the prelimnares towards forming
a company to connect Panama with the United
States via the Cuban cable now extending to the
island OF Cuba. General Smith, OF the Cuban cable
who Is In Europe had authority to take the neces-
sary steps In England to secure stock and the COM
pany Is still I'm embryo until his return. The enter
prise, however, has secured the aid and approval OF
English capitalists interested in the Panama and

IL IL expected that the larger share OF the

FACTS FOR NORTHERN CAPITALISTS AND
CREDIToRs.-The editor Of the metropolitan
Record, Mr.. Mullaly, now on visit to the
cotton States, writes from Charlotte, North
Carolina, under date Of Januaay 26, in regard
to the pestilential influence of Messrs Kelley,
Wilson and other radical emissaries, who went
down to give the negroes advice last fall:
sAll at that time were doing we'll. The land
had been titled, the seed planted, the various
products were duly ripening for the harvest,
when, worse than the army worm, worse than
the blight, worse than inclement and unfayor-
able seasons, came the radical missionaries,
with their blasting, whitening influence
Now, mark the results. When the crops
reached their maturity, when the harvest was
ripe and ready to be gathered, the freedmen
refused to work. They had been told that
they were to have share in the distribution
of the lands, that their radical friends in the
North would put them on level with their
former masters, and that as their labor had
mainly built up the wealth, they were now en-
titled to portion of that wealth. The negro.
in his simplicity, believed all this. By sucl
vile trickery, by such knavery and deception,
these emissaries succeeded in utterly break
ing down the obligations of the contract sys-
tenn throughout an immense portion of the
South. We have been told by authority in
which we place the most implicit confidence,
that in consequence of the speeches of these
radical incendiaries, no less than one million
bales Of cotton were lost to the country.
"Let the capitalists of the North weigh well
the vital Importance Of this huge, overwhelm-
ing fact. One million bales Of cotton which
were ready to be gathered lost to the capital
and industrial wealth Of the country !-lo %
commerce, lost to manufactures, and lost to
trade. There is hardly dealer in the North
who has not special interest in this matter
hardly one. There is hardly shopkeeper
who is at present suffering from want of trade
who has not been affected to the same degree
by this loss. By these Infamous appeals to
the negroes Kelley and Wilson succeeded in
destroying proportion of the cotton crop,
worth at the time over sinW million Of dol
lars!
"Bear thatin mind ,allye Northern creditors
who have been trying in vain to make collec-
lions throughout the South. The reason you
could not obtain payment of your bills was
because the people have no money, and the
reason the people have no money is because
radical incendiaries and disseminators of ag-
rarianism succeededin demoralizing the freed
men aad disorgahizins the whole labor system
