In November last, Missouri gave about
nineteen thousand majority against negro
suffrage. Her Legislature has ratified the
proposed negro suffrage amendment Of the
constitution
Michigan last year gave forty thousand
majority against negro suffrage, and her
legislature has ratified the proposed amend,
ment.
Now if the people who voted against ne.
gro suffrage at the ballot box, and for the
men who msrepresented them in the legis.
latures of Missouri and Michigan, on that
subject, do not, at the next popular election,
vote to retain the perfdiouS gang at home,
they will deserve betrayal in future, and
show themselves devoid of the commonest
instincts Of selfrespect. It is high time the
people, in matters OF government, should
assert their sovereignty and cease yielding
to plotting politicians and leaders.

is about passing away, with only the

ems. Really. such weather is iutolerable,
1t is an annoyance in whatever direction
we turn, with the exception, perhaps. to
cotton pickers, and they seem to be grow
ing tired of the monotony, and desire q
change. Some planters are windrowing
cane, fearing heavy fall rains and

such dry weather may be as bad in effect
as to take the chances Of a cold, wet

destruction by fire of the Louisiana Srm
mary at Alexandra. This deplorable
calamity took place on the morning OF
Friday the 18th inst, and is supposed to
be the work of an incendiary. The phi
losophical apparatus. libraries, and much
of the f*niture and bedding. were saved
by the -exertioDs of the employees aud

one injured that we could learn. The
loss to the State is very heavy, there be.
ing no insurance on the building, and
doualy p loss to the community at large.
The building alone cost the State over
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
What it would cost to restore it in these
days of general trickery and swiudling,
is beyond all human ken. We suggest
