THE elections in Texas and Mlssls-
sippi were deferred by the President
until November, in order, it is said,
that the Radical party Of those States
might have time TO organize thor
oughly the negro voters. A week or
more will be lost by every negro Ia
boFer in the very midst of the cotton
picking season. The profit in this
case enures to p~artizan adventures
who come South to gain Office and
thus respectability through the agency
of negro suffrage. Their gains are
the country's losses. Why did not

in Mississippi, seek to represent Maine,
his own State, in the United States
Senate? What service has AMEs done

bv the master in behalf Of the man:
How degraded is Statehood when
Commonwealth are playthings in the
hands Of military pOtentates-when
the President gives them to his syco-
phants a. Roman Emperors were
wont to distribute satrapies among
the fatterers!

THE Northern press is laughing qt
our Governor, that wished to be, and
saving he ia ia an ugly mOrass, "uI
of denials." They say "He denies
that he intended to ask the President
TO call a session of Congress for the
purpose of assuming control OF the
State government. He denies that
he intends 70 bring the subject OF the
election before Congress, andhe denies
the statement that he wishes all the
SENTER men turned out Of Office"
AS nothing else has been particularly
laid to his charge since our eagle flew
away TO Washington, that i about all
he could deny in so short a time. He
IS certainly somewhat more in the
p~enitential mood than the potential just
now. When he gets back, if he will
now DENY the DUNCAN letter he will
not have much left to do hut to deny
his denials, and turn white man and
reform, to reach the only elevation for
which he is ftted-that of a passable
SINISTER. We wish him great sue
cess in his laudable endeaVGFs in that
direction.

THE new administration OF Gen.
GRANT has not yet become remarka-
bly distinguished in the way Of re-
form. Is it powerless, or what is the
excuse for doing nothing, when so
much was promised, and when it is
conceded by common consent that so
much is to be done? If GRANTS adj
ministration is any improvement on
JoHNsoN's in point of economy, 1t -
more than we see. We subjoin the
following from the Philadelphia Age;
at is estimated that fully one-ffth
Of the revenue collected fails to reach
the national Treasury, whileC Congress-
men farm out railroad franchises and
sell offices to the highest bidders. The
custom houses are hot-beds of corrup-
ton and peculation. Serious frauds
have been unearthed in New York,
the persons implicated being United
States weighers, and the details of the
fraud are thus stated: After these Off
Gals have weighed d cargo Of tea, the
merchant to whom the cargo is con
signed employs a city weigher TO
weigh the chests. OF course the mer-
chant paws the city weigher for his
work. and out of his pay the weigheI
must paw whatever help he may re
nuire. The object of the eonsignee Ia
EMPLOYING the city weigher is obvi-
onslv To- ascertain whether the United
states weigher has weighed his cargo
correctly. But it has been discovered
and here the fraud comes Initial

THE Cincinnati Commercial, IN an
editorial reviewing the Tennessee sit
uation, says that the pdrythat elected
SENTER stands pledged to the Iii
teenth Amendment. We do not
know how,it is with the party, but we
do know how it is with the
Conservative people who helped
TO elect him, that they did not
bv word or deed commit themselves
either to the Fifteenth Amendment
or 10 the new doctrine of Universal
Suffrage. which in all parts of Tennes-
see is equally obnoxious and odious.
The Conservative people who helped
to elect SENTER did so believing they
were doing service in the cause Of
white acknowledgement. They did not
for one moment believe it possible
that their Iabors for SENTER could be
construed into pledging themselves for
the Fifteenth Amendment, or that
which is only another name for it
Universal Suffrage. The Commercial
is wrong. Wecan account for its error
on the score of ignorance Of our affairs
and our local politics, but We cannot
account for the p~ersistency of the
Nashville Banner when it repeats this
sentence, which we think a gross libel
upon the peopleof Tennessee. Itsays,
supporting the absurd position OF the
Cincinnati Radical organ, that 1.-The
." majority that elected SENTER is
{" pledged certainly to all that the Eff
afeenth Amendment seeks to secure
10 the cOlored voter" We ask tbs
Kramer when that majority wa.
nledged. how and by whom? We in
sist that the majority that elected Sen
TER was not pledged to the Fifteenth
Amendment, nor to Universal SUI
frage, nor to anything but the enfran
chisement of the white voters who
had been unjustly deprived OF thei
votes by a Radical and a usurpmI
Legislature.

THE universal suffrage doctrine Is
laid at the doorof the Radicals by the
Philadelphia Age in proof of their
utter Generalization. The Age says
" all their projects now are scandalous
breaches Of their own plighted faith,
as well as violations of law. Such,
for instance, is the attempt to force
negrosufrage on Pennsylvania, after
solemnly denying that intention IN
the Chicago platform. Such, too, is
the attempt on the part of CANBY to
reverse the Judgment Of the people OF
Virginia, to which they were invited
bv a special act of Congress and a
proclamation by President GRANT.
The attempts in Tennessee are Of the
same sort. Utter bad faith Is the
characteristic of them ALL and their
common aim is to keep a few Radicals
in condition to plumber the mass of the
people"

IL many portions Of the South
where the colored population is dense,
it is found impossible to raise hogs
and cattle. This is the case in portions
of Mississippi. Migratory blacks are
eminently destructive. For this rea-
son 9 large share of the cotton crop OF
such districts viii be expended for
bacon and plantation supplies in this
and other cities. In fact, our trade
with the Northwest will ultimately
transcend its former bounds, and the
South viii consume as much in value
of Northwestern products as ever be-
fore. 1t IS simply a matter Of dollars
and cents, and of profit and loss.
This is n of the questions which
local and political prejudiees never
could and never will control.

him on account of the statements
made by him during the interview,

THE tobacco receipts of New Or
leans tor the past year show an increase
of eighty-three per cent. over those OF
the preceding year. A large portion
was for trans-shipment. If tobacco
will descend the Mississippi, and If
New Orleans may regain, as shown
by the fact stated, control of the to-
bacco trade, as against eastern cities,
why may not the grain crop OF the
other side of the Ohio be moved by
the same causes in the same direction:
And if cotton, in quantities constantly
increased, seeks its market in Mem
phis, why may not the same CONNER
| cial facts create in this city a success

the counties and towns of Arkansas
north of White river, al the steam
boat interests Of the Mississippi and
White rivers, all the ocean and ship
ping interests of New Orleans, and all
the railroads c%entering at this point.
This is q railroad enterprise, second
in importance to no other which has
been initiated in this quarter, and de-
serves the most Jealous cooperation
and energetic support of our whole
body of citizens. 1t runs through the
garden ground of the fertile and vas'

IL order to comply with the wishes
of our Mississippi friends who may de-
sire to be heard through our columns,
and having been specially requested
TO give it the benefit of u circula-
ton in Mississippi, we publish in an
other part of to-day's issue thelettero of
Hon. r.. NJ. RRowN on the subject of
the present canvas in that Territory.
We shall publish with equal willing
ness any respectable reply from those
taking a different view. What u
friends there should do they will be
better able to Judge than we are to adj
wise them. 1t will be seer that this
letter of Mr.. BROWN presents ably
and in a forcible light the view he en-
terfains. The terms offered-negro
suffrage and the "disfranchisement
of portion" of the white people Of
Mississippi-would be sufficiently
hard. And if the terms of readmis-
sion are submitted TO late " rebels"
We should think the late rebels should
be the proper persons to accept or re-
ject them. But it seems to be all a
matter of force-it is no occasion for
a vote at all-itis "vote as the Gov
eminent bids you and come in, or re-
fuse and stay out" Thus the people
are called on rather to register Gov
ornamental edicts than to set up a Gov
| eminent of their choice, under the SUI
pervision and subject to the action Of
Congress. This is an unfortunate sit.
uation, in which our friends may be
compelled to make the best of it
And we see no way to do so, so likely
to be satisfactory as that suggested by
Mr.. BRowN-' the action of a STATE
Conservative Convention" His hi
