The New York Sun under
the above head gives the De-
mocracy tome hints, which,
however, they will piobably
not have the good sense to act
upon. After stating that the
Republicans had elected the
State Ticket, a majority Of each
branch of the Legislature, ard
three of the four members of
Congress, the Sun says: 9lhi
The only issue Of the canvass
was the9 ratification of the .fif.
teenth amendment To the Fed.
eral Constitution, which con.
fers suffrage. upon all men

this amendment, and the De-
mocracy kept up Q hot fire up.
on it from the beginning to the
end of the campaign, while the
Republicans as warmly sup.
ported it. gl5 q ni !oliqfg
The yerdictrendwed by Con,
necticut on this issue is signfi-
cant. That State has always
opposed negro suffrage, having
twice or thrice voted it down
at the polls by decisive major
tiles, the last time only three
years ago. But her sensible,
practical people desire to see
the end of this long and bitter
controversy, and therefore have
reconsidered and reversed their
oft recorded opinions. 1t seems
to us that this result in a State
which is naturally conserya-
tive, and was the last of the
New England States TO break
its connection with the Demo
cratic party, and the FIRST to re.
new it, should teach that.party
the folly oflonger resisting the
final settlement of this vexed
question. Doubtless a large
number Of those citizens of the
land of steady habits who have
just voted TO adopt negro suf-
frage, have done so not because
they like it, but because they
regard the matter as having
been practically disposed of by
its adoption in the Soathern
States, and look with some.
thing like contempt upon the
effort to keep up Tire contest
over a handful of negroes in
the North. ,.
Another sentiment has also
impelled them to this course,
They know that further agita-
tition on this theme diverts the
public mind from the consider
alton of great financial prob
lens, whose solution is Of far
more'consequence to the ,coun-
try thanto continue any longer
to rake over and stir up the
ashes and embers ,efaa rcontro-
versy which should be allowed
to quietly smother anddie out.
Let the Democracy yield to
the popular Judgment, turn its
backupon these dead issues,
open It's eyes to the living
present, throw wide its doors
for the ingress 'ofiithe young
and vigorous blood of the ma.
ton, and then shall itrestore
its ancient prestige as Tie par

This fine oak is usually met
with in lands which are very
fertile, 1T is not so abundant as
others in Ohio, but is pretty
generally found in the rich soil
Of our State. 1t is generally
known as the Bur Oak. This
is a very handsome, large size
tree, growing sometimes, in fa-
vorable locations to a very
large size. The acorns are the
largest of all the oaks; the
scales of the cups terminate in
a long, massi like fringe nearly
covering the acorn. The foil
age is very fine, large and
deeply cut. The timber is
thought to be very valuable,
and easily worked. Those who
may have looked once upon
this elegant tree, in its own
rich and favorable position,
with its noble trunk towering
up to the height of 70 or so
feet, its lower branches often
dropping beautifully towards
the earth, and clothed with
deep green foliage, will not
soon forget it. l know of not
a tree that 1 would prefer as an
ornamental tree. If with suffi-
cient space to develop its full
est amplitude, emblazoned in
its rich foliage, it presents a Pc
culiar freedom and boldness in
its huge ramificrtion of branch
and limb, that render it highly
adapted to ornamental pur-
poses.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 10, 6 p. NJ.
FRIEND BoswoRTH:
There has been moderate inquiry
for cotton, to-day, aud the sales sum
up only $50 bales. Owing to untav-
orable advices from Liverpool and
New York, there has been Il decline
of J to l C. per pound, the market
closing at % C. for Low Middling,
and 80 C. Middling.
The supply of cotton on hand and
sight in the various markets Of the in
world is nearly 100000 bales less
than last year at this time, and yet
spinnerS and spectators are trying
the old game of running down the
price, until the crop of the South is

present price, manufacturers don't
make lasge profits, like they did i'll
old times; therefore, the South must
sell cheap, so that they can get rich

power enough, tnimproved, to work
up four times as much cotton as they
now produce; and if the people are
true to themselves, they will, in time,
work up so large u part of the crop
at home, that Northern and English
spinners will be willing to pay good
price for all we can spare them.
Tell your planters to sell cotton
enough to pay for the supplies adj
vanced to them, and send the rest OF
their crops to market when the price
suits them.

A Sharp Negro.

The following amusing and sharp in
cident is related by Lansing Mich
paper:
Sampson, the colored boy who play ed
the big lDstrumentin the Reform School
Band last winter, was recently dis
charged from the institution, but j,
again under arrest for one of the sharp.
est and most amusing transactions we
have heard of for long time. He
bought q suit of clothes of Jackson, but
not having cent OF money to pay for
them, he proceeded to series of ma.
nmuvers to raise the rhiuo. Find.
ing a COW in stable, be brought
a butcher 10 look at the an.
imal, who agreed to take it at
stipulated price, paying part down,
and leaving the animal til! the next
day, when she was TO be delivered
Samson took his money and applied il
on his suit, but as it did not pay for
them, the merchant would not let them
go. He then got his friend, the butcher
to become security for the balance, and
took his clothes and cleared out. The
oddity of the situation is amusing. He
did not steal the COW, nor did he de,
liver her to the butcher. He did not ger
the goods under false pretenees, for the
butcher become voluntary security fol
the payment of the suit of clothes, and
he didn't do anything else.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Child strangled by Blue Racer
The Father In N Fit Of Frenzy
Kills His Wife

The Huron county (Mich.) Netrs tells
the following story. 1t is similar to
one " hioh has been recently published
the incidents of which occurred else
where:
We learn upon creditable authority
the following particulars of terrible
double tragedy, which occurred on the
3lst ult. In one of the back towns OF
Sanilac county, and adjoining Huron,
lives q settler, who is of recent resi-
dence there, named James Hayes. His
family consists, or rather consisted, OF
himself and wife, and an only child-an
infant, On the day above named Mr..
aud Mrs. Hayes we're heeing potatoes in
a field some distance from the house,
having left the child at home in its crib,
After working away in the field for
some time, the husband became some.
what startled at hearing the child begin
to cry in q very excessive and unusual
manner, and anXiOusly requested his
wife to go to the house and ascertain
the cause. She replied that she thought
the child would soon cease and compose
itself to sleep. After listening for a
moment or two, her position seemed a
correct one, as the sounds gradually
ceased, and the child seemed TO sleep,
Nothing more seriously was thought OF
the matter-it being an instance of q
very common nature-and at noon the
husband and wife repaired to the house
for dinner.
But, upon catering the room in which
the babe was living, horrible spectacle
met their view, In their absence a
monster serpent, of the blue-racer spe.
cies, had entered the open door, crawled
to the cradle, and twined itself around
the body of the infant, placed its head
in the child's mouth, and IN this manner
had deprived it of Its life.
The husband, upon behofding the hid
eous monster, and comprehendlng Its
fatal act upon his child, in frenzy OF
excitement turned upon his wife, whom
he had bidden, while in the field, tc
come to their child, and, without word
of upbraidipg or warning, struck her
fearful blow on the head with the hoe
he held in his hand. She sank to the
hoor and Immediately expired, the sharp
edge of the hoe having pierced to the
BRAIN. The husband, finding himself
wifeless, childless, and murderer
rushed from his home TO the neighbors
proclaiming his guilt, raying maniac
These are the particulars as related
to us by gentleman of high socla
standing aud veracity, and who has Wis
tied the locality.

The sirnntiou in yiryiuia.

A few days ago the telegraph stated
that plot had been set on foot IN Viz
ginia to have the question of admitting
that State 90 over without action OF
Congress until the session commencing
in 1870. 1t was proposed to get up evil
dence of outrages and frauds by the
WALKER party, and by the aid of tli.
clustering in Congress and reference TO
the Reconstruction Committee, have
the whole question adjourned. BY
such means the present otfice.holder
would be permitted to serve twelve
months leuge. BOUTWELL,, BUTLER
and WILSON were the reputed fathers OF
this characteristic Radical scheme. The
latest news from Virginia, however, Is
that their Vaccinations will be almost
certain to fail. Tke trick was too much
for the stomach of SHERMAN, and be
has expressed himself decidedly oppos-
ed to any further opposition to recon
struction. and Wilt refuse the slightest
couptenance to any measure calculated
to prolong the suspense of the sore,tTied
people of Virginia or the South at
large. The State Conservative Com
mite of Virginia, likewise, have wisely
recommended that the Legislature take
no steps toward the election OF United
States Senators until the State of VIZ
ginia is fully admitted to her rights IN
the Union. The reason assigned for
this counsel is that Senators elected
prior to the reception of the State would
not be chosen under such circumstances
as would render them the unbiased
choice Of Yirginia.-Ptain Dealer.
