The EGYPrIAN Corn HUMBuG.-Some

have nothing to do with this notorious
swindIe. The subjoined letter to the
editor of the Carroll Record should salts

addressed to the postmaster at Abingdon
asking for information in regard to the
corn and its advertiser

have to say, that there is a man named
F. Z. G. LINDSEY, who resides at Masen'
Va, and has a corn that he calls
Egyptian Corn" but it is nothing but
the common corn, and is a grand hnmbug
of the worst sort. Respectfully,

Couxr OF THE New YORK TRlBtNE.-
The New York Tribune virtually gives
up. for it's party, success at the next Pres.
idential election. 1t says that the elect.
ion depends on the heavy electoral vote
of New York (33), Pennsylvania (s6),
and Ohio (21." All these States have
been carried by the Democrats. They
have only to keep what they lave got,
and their candidate is sure of his election.
It says :
"If the ten reconstructed States should
be admitted in time to participate in The
election, their vote would probably be
divided about equally between the two
parties. The Democrats, or those who
declined to vote at the recent r~econstruc.
ton elections, are . slight majority of the
registered voters in these States /; and
while the Republicans are tolerably sure
of North and South Carolina, Louisiana,
Florida end Arkansas, the Democrats
would make > very even contest in all
the others, with Q fair prospect of carry
ing several of them. Neither political
party has any definite certainty of gain
or loss by the participation of the South.

sey, and Ohio. X X It Is certain there.
fore, that the election of Grant and Col
fax requires the Sepublican party to
carry one or several of the doubtful
States Connecticut, New York, Penn
~sylvanis, New Jersey and Ohio]. Upon
the heavy electoral vote of New York
(33), Pennsylvania )26), and Ohio (2l),
depends the result of the contest.

The STATES AT LIBERTY TO CONTROL SUF-
FRAGE, NOTWITHSTANDING THE PRoHIrIoN.-
The New York Times of Friday. in an
article upon the "Path of Peace" takes
the same ground that we did on or about
the same day, to wit that the "fhnda.
mental condition " laid down by Congress
is practically u mere %humbug-a dead
letter, and the reconstructed States, when
they come into the Union, will come in
vested with the full powers wei the suf
frage and all other questions, possessed
by any other States Of the Union. Says
the Times:
Assuming, then, that interference by
force will be avoided, the people Of each
Southern State will be at liberty to call
new Conventions, frame new Constitu
tons and regulate their suffr age and all
other domestic affairs, according to their
own ideas. They will come into practi-
cal possession of this right by their ad
mission to the Union. For when they
come back, they come as States, and
have all the rights Of other States
There can be no such under the Constitu-
ton as an inequality of States rights.
What one State may do, any other
State may do: South Carolina will have
the same control over it's own affairs as
New York or Massachusetts,. Georgia
will have the same right to make a new
Constitution as Connecticut or Ohio. No
act of Cong ress can affect this right
either to abridge Or enlarge it, or to fetter
and control it. Any provision claiming
to do this is nugatory. The assumption
that admission is conditional, and that it
becomes null if tue condition is violated
has no foundation in constitutional law
or in experience. No State can make
conditions of accession to the Union, nor
can the National Government impose
and enforce conditions upon any State
All the States of the Union are equal in
their powers and their rights.
By re-entering the Union, therefore, un-
der the Reconstruction laws, the South
ern States gain in theory precisely what
they say they want-deliverance from
military authority, and control of their
own affairs. They can, if they choose, mo-
dify the elective franchise, changing the
qualifications required, and the manner
of its exercise, in their own discretion.
They will see abundant reason, we do no,
doubt, for not making when the time
comes, the changes which they threaten
now-but the power will be in their own
hands.
Well, all this is too plain for dispute.
and no palmer because it is admitted and
maintained by a leading organ of the
Grant party like the New York Times
But we would like to ask the Times, to
answer for the Grant party and tell US, il
all this be true, why did the Radicals in
Congress attempt sc bold an imposition
as this fundamental guarantee clause ?
Why, again, did the Grant Convention
iudorse and repeat it, knowing it to be
mere bosh and nonsense?

The BEST GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD
In the House Of representatives, Mr..
Morgan, in a late speech, showed that in
England the aggregate taxes average
only ninety cents on the 500 Of proper
ty. while they average IS SO in the United
States. In other words, the taxes in the
United States are more than four times
as great, in proportion to the wealth Of
the nation, as in Great Britain.
Once upon q good old time we could
sneer at England on the score of taxation,
but sue can now return it fourtold, while
we must grin and bear both-snecrs and
