Ealing into Line.

The Ohio conservatives have learned
wisdom from the example of Virginia,
Tennessee, Mississippi and Texas They
have accepted Universal Suffrage as
part of their creed. Their leading organ,
the Cincinnati Enquirer, thus wraps over
the knuckles the California Democracy
for not keeping pace with the great popu-
lar ideas Of the times:
We can tell the California Democrats Mdt
negro suffrage Is a fired fact, and that the
Southern Democrats, under new organiza-
ton, are using 1t with success, and that the
Chinese are coming, and that it is sheer non
sense to fight them In California with Dem
ocratic resolutions. Have these California
Democrats heard of the Pacific Railroad
and who built it? This California platform
is the stupidest thing out since the secession
ordinance of South Carolina.

Gen. Ames, the eminently humane Gov
ernor Of Mississippi, has not only prohibited
the use OF the money appropriated by the
Legislature, to provide crippled soldiers with
artificial limbs, but has ordered them 70
stump up and pay poll tax. "Let us have
peace.'-Exchange.
And so say the Bitter-Enders who have
endorsed the Ames Administration.
Their proscriptive and ungenerous spirit
is not confined to the Southern men who
returned from the war without strength
of body sufficient to make their support.
1t extends to the disabled soldier who
goes limping on his crutch or carries an
empty sleeve. Nay, their malignity de-
sends into the grave, and performs its
office. Nothing else is expect
ed of the carpet-baggers who have come
into the State VIGOROUSLY to stir up strife
and to live on its fruits. But what
would .home ticket" in the Bitter
End interest have to say in explanation
of such an endorsement?

We rejoice to see that active steps have
been taken to organize society at the
South, whose object it shall be to collect,
classify, preserve, and finally publish the
facts and documents connected with the
late war of the Revolution. We agree
with our able contemporary of the Macon
(Ga.,) Journal and Messenger, that by
faithfully carrying out this object we can
alone defend ourselves against the SLAM
derous and false publications purporting
to be histories of the civil war;" which
have issued from Northern presses, and
from the still more unreliable and worth
less trash of such writers as Pollard.
From the names of the gentlemen who
have been appointed officers of the society,
we may reasonably hope that the work
will be well and ably done, and that the
truth of history will be indicated. We
do not want partial history of the great
struggle magnifying ourselves and belit-
Ting our opponents. We want the truth.

INCENDIARY LANGUAGE We learn from
reliable authority, that Uriah Millsaps made
the remark few days since, that he was In
favor of hoisting the black flag at the head
of the Radical party and see who could spill
the most blood and that Y. G.. Payton, Jr,,
said that certain men, naming them. Erwin
Stackhouse, DIR. Crume and Charlie Wolfe,
ought to be hung.-Crystal Springs Herald.
We are surprised to see this violent
language attributed to Mr.. Millsaps. 1t
only shows how perverted mems minds
become by consorting with the Destruct-
ives of the Jacobin party. When men
become desperate enough to ally their
fortunes with the party which hopes to
live on the fruits of perpetual strife be
tween the races, and to impose a rule Of
prescription on the intelligence and ca
Pacity Of the country, they are pre-
pared for almost any bloody business.

The complaints from the English man.
ufacturing districts of the inadequate sup
ply Of cotton, are loud and deep, and we
have reports of schemes ON foot by the En-
glish Supply Association to remedy the
deficiency in future The idea, somewhat
stale, of stimulating the culture of the
staple in India has been revived; and it
Is proposed TO expend large sums for that
purpose. 1t has been ascertained beyond
all doubt that contrary to the predictions
of philanthropists (so-called) recent
changes in the labor system of the great
cotton region of the United States, have
reduced by more than one-half the supply
from this quarter. We have no idea that
efforts to render the manufacturing world
independent of this region, will succeed.
But they behoove our people to be on the
alert. They must reduce the cost Of
raising cotton by the use of labor-saving
machinery, so that one hand can do the
ordinary worlzof TIVE, and by improving
their lands so that one acre viii yield as
much as three under the old system.

There was a full meeting of the sub
scribers TO the State Fair on Monday.
An organization was formed under the
name of the STATE FAIR ASSOCIATION;
and a Constitution and Bylaws were

This looks like business and we desire
again to call the attention of farmers,
manufacturers, machinists, mechanics,
stockraisers and horticulturEts to the
matter. Premiums, liberal as the times
will justify, viii be offered; and prepare
tons ample for the accommodation Of ex-

The COIOred Voters.

There is general stampede of the
eolored voters from their would-be CARPET
guides. They do not want to disfran-
chise the whites, and will not be held in
a separate organization of race against
them, unless there exist cause of quarrel.
They cannot be persuaded by the carpet
baggers that such cause exist when the
most Jealous champions of their privilege
of suffrage, are to be found in the con-
sentative ranks. The writer happened
to be passing through West Tennessee on
the day of election in that State. and at
every precinct where the voters had as
sembled he made it point to inquire how
the coiored people were going, and the
reply was that they were voting in large
numbers against Stokes the candidate of
the ultra Radicals and for Senter. Ma
tional Republican. And the statements
were verified when the ballots were count
ed The portions of the State, West
and Middle Tennessee, having the largest
negro majorities, gave the heaviest ma
jorities against the candidates of the car
pet-baggers and scalawags.
And 50 in other States. They are all
fleeing the yoke Of the Disfanchisers.
Under the leadership of Bond, National
Republican, in Maryland, they are raj
lying against them. In South Carolina,
Mackey. late collector Of the port al
Charleston. (removed by Boutwell,, } has
arrayed most Of the coIored voters Of the
State against the carpet-baggers. and es-
pecially against Senator Sawyer, and
Congressman Brown, and George w.
Clark now collector Of the port.

Hon. III. F. SDIRALL.-The absence
of the name of this distinguished gentle
man from the Conservative Address, has
occasioned inquiry in reference to his
views. They are explained by the fol-
lowing extract of a private letter:
81 notice call for convention at
jackson, on the 6th. My own judgment
sis clear. The Convention ought not to
''put any but unquestioned Republicans
con the ticket. That course will over
''come all troubles at Washington, and
''gain everything of substance involved
''in the canvass at home. Iwrite mainly
Ito put you in possession of this most
emphatic opinion What does it matter
s'to you and /, and the mass of the peo-
''ple whether one or two officers are, what
"were last year, Wings or Democrats,

The Virginia Democrats, or Conserva-
tives as they call themselves, having a
large majority of the colored vote and
being able to elect any body they choose,
sscertained that to elect a straight-out
Conservative ticket would be to continue
Radical Military rule. Hence they with
drew their already nominated ticket head
ed by Col. Whittier, and to man support
ed Walker who was "bolting" delegate
from the Convention that nominated
Wells. Therefore, the New York >Tri-
bune says, ''they are masters of the
situation"

A cotempofary suggests that If our ru-
Iers decide arbitrarily to enforce the test
cath IN the election of State officers and
members of the Legislature in the pend
ing election, it viii devolve on the Con-
seryatives to change their plan Of cam
paign and vote down the constitution as a
a whole. We do not think so. To vote
down the constitution as a whole, viii be
a decision to continue the proscriptive,
despotic, and ultra Radical administra-
ton of Ames which in Its denial OF the
right of trial by jury, and of the privi-
Iege of the writ of Habeas Corpus, is
more abhorrent even than a State govern
ment administered by EggIeston himself.
As between the continuation of this
despotism conducted by the weak and
malignant man now in supreme authority,
and civil government of the carpet-bag
border, many of our people would hesitate
to make choice. There are reasons why
the latter, loathsome as it is, would be
preferred. Superadded to the horrors Of
the Ames regime, would be the certain
prospect of keeping the question of re-
construction open for the uses of malig-
nant fanatics until the next Presidential
election. Under an EgglestOn govern
ment, we would have the satisfaction o.
knowing that we had at least passed tn:
era of the epaulette and the sword;
touched bottom; and been placed in a
condition from which with the privilege
af suffrage accorded, we could fight up.
To that extent, as the Mobile Register
expresses it; we would be advanced on
the road to deliverance."
But there will be no occasion for deci-
ding between these wretched alternatives.
If our rulers in their madness seek b i'm
pose this illegal restriction upon u, let
the resolve be to cut our way out # the
difficult by nominating, in every instance,
men who can take the test-oath and let
us rally to their support with thes same
zeal we would display if We had the whole
field to select from, not for the sake f the
candidates themselves, but to wret the
State from the grasp of her oppressGs.

Encouraging to Cotton Planters.

The producers Of cotton, notwithstand-
ing the backward spring-the present
drouth-and the prospect of the cater
pillar-need not be without hope. The
present prices even if the crop be short,
will amply reward the toll and anxiety Of
the producer. The deficit in the home
and foreign supply, and the necessities Of
manufacturers compelling competition, it
is believed, will keep up prices to the
present standard if not actually advance
them. Besides, our planters have made
good corn crops, which will go far towards
placing them on a footing of independ-
ence next year. The are also increasing
their stock of hogs and cattle, and it is
evident that they will make more clear
money the present year than in any since
1860.
