CITY REAL ESTATE.

We have heretofore noticed some OF
the improvements, and sales of proper
tv on the east side of the New jersey
Railroad 1t now remains to note sim
liar improvements on the west side, and
contiguous to the north Elizabeth de-
pot, Broad street, ON which the horse
cars run, embraces what was until re-
Gently, Newark avenue. The horse
railroad is to be continued through
Waverly to Newark. Between Broad
street and Grant avenue Ito be), new
avenue has been laid out and partly
graded, called Newark avenue, which
commences at a point on Broad street,
opposite. George G. Stone, Esq's new
mansion, which will cross north ave-
nue. at right angles, and soon be con-
inued to Newark city.
On this avenue Augustus Kellogg,
ESQ.,, one of the most expensive and
Elegant family mansions in the city. =
OH tBt SulilS avenue, SIdut, AuDun *
Co. have erected two first class houses,
and Dr. Cross three more on North
avenue. The rapid growth of this
part of the city, which is now called
North Elizabeth, has induced the New
Jersey r. r. Co. to erect a commodious
and handsome depot, a few hundred
feet south of the old one, alluded to in
a former article. Grant avenue ION
the old maps, Summit street, is now
being graded, and win be extended in
due time, north toward Newark city,
through the recent purchase of David,
Doe and others. In few years we
have no doubt that all the land between
the cities of Newark and Elizabeth,
will be occupied for building instead
of farm lands.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

/ The Americans have but few holi
days, widely differing from other ma
tions-esp ecially with the Abyssinians
who spend two-thirds Of the days 81
the year as holidays This is to be &C
counted for partly by the fact that life
as regulated by civilization, is forever
growing buster aud more intense, as
men depart from their primitive mode
of living they have less leisure, and
live more and more by their wits
finding that the necessities of such q
life occupy nearly all of their time.
| The greatest feature with our people
nowadays on Thanksgiving day is the
dinner, not the sermon. We passed
| through the markets on Wednesday
evening, and heard the market-men
praising their nice fit turkeys as il
they were pets; We saw at every step
the serious face OF the good wife, count
ing the cost and calculating how far
the contents OF her purse would go, and
We congratulated the wisely silent hus-
band, who stood at her side, regarding
her with deferential look that seem
ed to say Everything depends upon
you my duck.
Some retired on Wednesday night
never having known hunger never
cried in vain for bread never shivered
at the breath of the cool wind. But to
others hunger was no stranger, and
leaky and open roofs but little protec-
ton from the ruthless storms and pierre
ing blasts of winter. Their garments
hide their limbs, but give them no
warmth while friends they have
none, and the world is but a place
wherein to freeze and starye and die.
While those of us who yesterday en-
loved the Injuries and comforts of life
were making merry with our friends,

apart share of the feast for the suffer-
ing ones about our doors? Did we
supply one shivering wretch with
garment, or with days fuel Thank
God We know of many instances
where the destitute were supplied yes
terday We know of persons who on
Wednesday went about doing good
who did not in their prosperity forget
the sorrows of others, nor Hquidate
their debt of gratitude to God by mere
ly acknowledging his kindness.
The places of business were closed at
10 o'clock and the day observed by all
classes and conditions. It rained hard
all the morning thus preventing a
more general turnou OF our church
going people, but all-in all, the day will
long be rememered.

CrOD REPORTS.

New York, August 13-Reports Of
crops by telegraph, from all parts OF
the country are, on the whole, quite cheer
ing. The wheat crops are larger than last
year. In West Virginia, Ohio, Missouri,
Kansas, Utah, Colorado, Montana, Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York,
Pennsylvania, New jersey, Maine, Masss-
chusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire
the quality is regarded AZ excellent. In
Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and
Texas the reports are not so good, the yield
being Indifferent. In Louisiana, Arkan-
sas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Southwestern
Virginia, central Tennessee, North Caro-
lima, Delaware and Vermont the crop has
been an average one. The corn crop is very
large and the quality remarkably good.
The WELD this year will be fully one-third
more than last This is especially the case
in the Southern States.
Oats, in Kentucky, West Virginia, In
diana, Missouri, Kansas, Ohio, Nebraska,
Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Vermont,
New York and Illinois, the yield is large,
while in Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia,
Florida, South Carolina and other South
ern States it will not be more than an
average.
The rains lately injured the crops in New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland
and Maine. The barley crop will be an
average one.
Hay, more than an average crop will be
realized. In Pennsylvania New York,
Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware and
Maryland the yield is very large and ex-
celient.
Cotton, fully an average yield is ex-
expected.
Sugar promises we'll, but very little
was planted.
Fruits, almost total failure, especially
in the Middle States, and the peach crop
will not be half what it was last year. In
the extreme South the prospect is better.
In New York apples look better, and
potatoes are generally large aud good.
Heavy mildew and lice have killed the
hops in Pennsylvania.

reimbursement became party necessity.
This resulted in the passage of the fran
chise law Of February %, 1867, which
again disfranchised every man in the
State, and under which large num-
bers of men who had certificates
could not be again registered But
Radicalism did not stop here. Fear
ing that even under this law, they could
not get majority of the white voters of
the State to sanction their outrageous
usurpations, the Radicals enfranehised
the negroes. And lest this should not
serve the purposes of the Brownlow dy-
nasty, they passed law authorizing the
Governor to set aside the registration OF
any county, and then appoint more pills
ant tool to do the dirty work marked on.
for him. Men who acquire the right to
vote are deprived of that right by the
mere proclamation of the Governor.
Thus, by DISTINGUISHING the white men
of the State who are not Radicals by
three different laws, each more sweep
ing in its DISTINGUISHING feature
than its predecessor, and finally
enfranehising the negroes, the Radical
party has been enabled to retain power
in this State. If the white men of the
State were allowed to vote the Radical
party could not retain power one day
beyond its present lease. This explains
why it is that these white men, the best
and wealthiest citizens of the State, the
men who pay nine>tenths of the taxes,
are disfranchised. In proof of this, it is
only necessary to state fact that is pa
tent to every one, that no man however
bitter "Rebef' he may have been, is
ever refused. a certificate of registration
if he is Radical at the time of making
the application. ''
We have thus placed before the reader
a concise history of the manner inwhich
the State government was organized;
how primary convention was called to
nominate candidates to be voted for as
delegates to a Constitutional Convention,
and how that body, without the semblance
of authority, resolved itself into con-
vention to amend the Constitution, and
how they did it solely in their own inter4
est, and how they have held control of
the State since by the most shameless
usurpations and Acknowledgement This
statement of facts will show the North-
ern people the grievances Of which the
white men of Tennessee complain, and
yet this people patiently submit to the
laws thus enacted, and they propose to
do so until relief can be obtained through
the proper lawful channe Is, and this they
feel must come, sooner or later, as surely
