If these predictions of the future are
reasonable and logical deductions from
the known facts of the past, the conclusion
is inevitable, and pre-supposes the exist
ence of tendency of capital to concen-
trate in the hands of the few to the ex-
clusion of the many. There is prevalent
impression in the community that the
rich are growing richer and the poor are
becoming poorer; and the popular in
stincts are not usually far from the truth.
This subject is now agitating the public
mind to very large extent, especially
among the working classes, and must be
met It has not yet assumed definite pro-
proportions, but as it becomes more and
more thoroughly understood. the COM
mon sense of the people will devise some
means by which these apparently con-
tilctlng interests may be harmonized.
There are several objects to be gained
in the furtherance of this result; among
others may be mentioned, for considers
ton, the posthumous disposition of prop
erty, by which man may concentrated his
wealth even after his death; which JUS
tice demands should be equally divided
between the members of his family. The
enactment of laws that will put a stop to
the present wholesale legalization of mo-
nopolies-laws that will place all kinds of
business on an equality, and let those
kinds die out that cannot be maintained
without outside assistance. The enactment
of laws rendering realestate free from
seizure for debt, except for the purchase
money of the land itself; thereby enhanc-
ing.th desireableness of it as a stable
and imperishable representative of value.

Letter from North Carolina.
WARM SPRINGS, N. ca
May 20th, 1869.

May 2Oth, 1869.
We left Knoxville at II d a. M, and ar
rived at Morristown at IL p. at which
place we took the Cumberland Gap R. R.
for Wolf Greek, near the North Carolina
line. The train was made up of engine,
baggage car Ga freight car being used for
the purpose), a rickety, old passenger car,
and five fiat cars for freight. We made q
q little over ten miles an hour, reaching
Wolf Creek about five p. m,-not long
before arriving at which place we crossed
the French Broad, where we had fine
view of the mountains, with clouds hang
ing around their peaks. The hills along
the route are covered with wild flowers
We hardly arrived at the Wolf Creek
station before coach drove up, that re-
minded Ils of old times-and old coaches,
too. It had evidently done service in its
day, but it did not look as though 1t
could do very much more. However, we
clambered in and were driven to the no.
tel, where we were called on to pay our
fare. ''How much to Asheville?" "Six
dollars" We had previously discussed
the subject of walking from Wolf Creek
to Asheville, for the sake of better opper
tunity of seeing the country, as well as
for the invigorating influence of the
tramp. Accordingly, without word, we
descended, and, Mr.. r. with his travellers
bag on stick across his shoulder, and
with my overcoat in the same position,
trudged on. 3'
The road lay along the base of the
mountains, the sky was clear, the air In
MIGRATING, exhilarating and filed with
the fragrance of innumerable wild flow
ers, with the blue sky over us, and the
dark mountain towering from 1900 to
1000 feet above, u.s. we took our way along
the banks of a beautiful mountain stream.
Sometimes we kept to its banks,
sometimes we forded it, at others we
crossed it, stepping from rock to rock
Occasionally onr path lay along the hill
sides, whence we looked down on the
stream rushing by in the valley below.
There was delightful sense of freedom and
of enjoyment in all this but not sufficient
to render us forgetful of the fact that we
had eaten nothing since breakfast.
Stopping at house by the roadside,
we refreshed ourselves on corn bread, but
ter, milk and honey. Thus fortified, we
trudged on again for the Warm Springs,
distant eight miles from Wolf Greek,
where we arrived five minutes after the
stage coach. The road is cut out of the
rock at the base Of the hills in many pla
ces, the cliffs towering perpendicularly
upwards. 1t is not kept in good order,
and the passengers were sometimes oblig-
ed to. dismount and walk. But the rough
ness OF the road was of little conse-
quence to US pedestrians Indeed, the
charms Of the night and the scenery were
sufficient to make US Sforgetful of more
formidable trials than rough road. The

dark mountains, the note of the whip

Advices received in Washington from
/ Cuba state that the Spanish troops in
the interior have their communications
with the coast cut off and are suffering
terribly from cholera, fever and priva-
ton The mortality is said to be very
great, and medicines and food are scarce.
More than half of the main Spanish
force has been lost since the commence
ment of the war by desertion or disease
Two recent victories and the arrival of
the filibusters have greatly encouraged
the Cuban leaders, and they are determ-
ined to force the fighting. Admiral Hoff
writes from Key West that all is quiet

Pope Plus the Ninth has delivered an
alocution. 1t is in a melancholy st. ain,
even more sad than his preceding efforts
in the same line. He deplores the con-
dition of the Church in Italy, in Aus
tria, in Hungary, in Spain and in Po-
land. Not a word about the United
States.
The Conservative General Committee
has determined not to allow General
Canby's opinion to influence the course
of the party. The present candidates,
all of whom are eligible under the four
teenth amendment, will be kept in the
field. They say the iron-clad oath will
never be presented in a practical form.
Chief Justice Chase expressed the opin-
ion that there was no authority in the
laws of Congress to exact the iron-clad
oath of members of the Legislature.
Mr.. Roderick r. Butler, member of
Congress from Tennessee, says that
within his recollection they have not
had better wheat crop in Tennessee
than they have this year. The harvest
is over in most parts of the State, and
in the extreme eastern portion they are
gathering the crop now. The Indian
corn has been kept back by the cold
spring, and is net so large as usual at
this time of the year.

LOOK OUT FOR ROORBACKss

LOOK OUT FOR ROORBACKS.
Very many efforts are made by the
Radicals to mystify and deceive the
people in the matter of voting. AS it
becomes apparent that a. number of
white and colored men who intend to
vote the Wells ticket, will scratch the
name of Harris, we We're Informed by a
gentleman yesterday, that the carpet
baggers arc industriousiy circulating
the report that if the ticket is scratch
ed--tha5 is name marked out alto
getber, or erased and another substituted
in its place--the whole ticket will be
thrown out and not counted.
By reference to General Candy Gen
eral Orders No. 81, regulating the reg
istration and election, it is ascertained
that there is no truth in this report.
The only provision made for excepting
any ballot from the count, may be
found in the 28th section of those Or
ders, in these words ~.
+" If two or more ballots should be
found wrapped ip the same paper and
evidently cast by the same person, or il
the writing upon any ballot be so illegi-
bic that the intent of the vo.er cannot
be determined, such ballots shall not be
counted, but shall be placed in separate
packages which shall be marked on the
outside rejected ballots y"
That is all. The writing must g be
SO illegible that the intent of the voter
cannot be determined" But with a
name marked eff the ticket by line
drawn through it, there can be no
doubt at all of the " intent of the voter =
and there can be no difficulty in de-
termining that he intended to cast no
vote for the man whose name is thus
crossed off his ticket. There is not a
returning officer in the State but will
understand that perfectly, and see the
difference between that scratching which
SO clearly reveals the intent of the
voter" and the "illegible ballot" which
is to be rejected"
The Radicals are in great strait, and
are casting about for every means in
their power to deceive the white and
colored voters to lessen the awfulness Of
their defeat We must watch very
closely their devices, of which this re-
port is one, which we now dismiss as
sufficiently exposed.

SOME SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THE
ELECTION.

'SOM II oOddCO L lONO ~ DOO i IL
ELECTION.
Doing all that we can to guard
against frauds and to secure an honest,
fair and legal election, let us not antici-
pate misconduct on the part of those
who have control of the machinery.
General Canby's election order pro-
vides safeguards which, if faithfully OBJ.
served, will be effectua We advise
every voter to make it his business to
peruse that order carefully, so that he
may fully understand his duties and
privileges
We especially refer them to para
graphs twenty-eight and twenty-nine,
which provide checks upon the action
of the Boards of Commissioners in the
matter of counting the votes
AS election day is rapidly approach
ing, it is proper that we should all ar
range in our own minds the work we
have to do and the mode of doing it.
If you have any neighbor with whom
you have not communicated, search
them out and ascertain their exact
views and feelings.
Let those on whom poor ncighbors
rely for conveyance to the polls begin
at once to mako all necessary arrange
ments, SO that when election day comes
everything may be at hand
Let each and every Conservative voter
resolve within himself to be calm and
master of his temper, so that il there
should be disturbances, they cannot be
held responsible for them.-Richmond

every man who can induce another to
vote right, or not to vote wrong. All
