THE NEGRO FAILURE.

Parker Piiisbury writes another long
letter to the Independent, in which he
gives his impressions CT the negroes at
the South, after an observation in South
Carolina. lie remarks that rcconstruc-
ton is failure, because j; began where
it should have left off, with political or
CARNATIONS, with suffrage and sovereign
ty, when the first lessons in civilization
had not been learned, had not been
taught, and have not yet been taught
But party supremacy, he adds, requlr-
ed the measure, and it was adopted,
against all the dictates of genuine states
manship, as we'll as the demands of jus
ticc and humanity.
Mr.. Pillsbury expresses the pious
wish that Garrison and Phillips could
spend a short time in the South. lie
saws they would soon see that suffrage
is not the one thing nccdful for the
emancipated slaves, men or women
however it might have been for the In
tercsts of party and, above all things,
unless that suffrage were directed by a
far other than the present order Of poll
ticians there.
He reiterates what he had said i'll 3
former letter about the prevalence o
{ habits of drinking among the negroes,
and comments upon the wrctchcd man
ner in which they live, and the misera-
bic wages they are content to receive.
"Northern men," he says, ''are to-day
all through the Southern Atlantic State:
deluding or driving the colored people
into working for them at prices or OF
conditions that would be deemed down
right insult il profercd to any gooC
working man inNcw England"
AS to the grade Of the negro lcgisla
tors and office holders, he makes the
following remarks:
"a majority of the Legislature o
South Carolina care colored men, and
many of them can neither write non
read. But seyefaI of their very best
friends assured me they should never
support such again for the sake OF the
colorcd race itsclf-not even to save the
State from the Democratic party. Such
burIesquc on the very name of govern
mcnt, they declared, was never before
seen. | have witnessed enough myself
to easily understand that it must be so.

votes were easily bought at five dollars,

RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT.

We copy the following article of an
English paper as suggestive of very i'm
portant adaptations in Railway improve
ments to many localities and as much SO
to this as any other.
"The Two Feet Gauge Railway in
Wales constructed for the purpose of
transporting slate and stone to the sea
shore, is now used as regular goods
and passenger line. The traffic, it is
asserted, in consequence of the dimin-
ished expenses of construction and work
ing, yields a revenue of thirty per cent.
on the capital. The reason assigned for
this large amount OF earnings is, that the
proportion between the dead and the
paying weight is much less than on other
railways. Thus the engine and tender
weigh ten tons against forty tons on wide
guage roads. The carriages on the Welsh
road transporting twelve passengers
weigh thirty hundred weight, or two and
a half hundred weight per passenger,
while the broad gauge carriages trans
porting thirtytwo passengers weigh
seven and half tons, or nearly five hun
dred weight per passenger. The Lon
don Railway News, in commenting upon
this two feet gauge, asserts that ''its
economy and efficiency will cause it tc
be extensively adopted"
Locomotives for these Railways are now
being made in Pittsburg, Pa, and many
of them are i'll successful operation
Railways can now be built and equipped
at one-third the ordinary cost, and though
the transportation may not be SO heavy
the profits are greater upon the capital
invested.

THE NORTHWEST.

The impression which many people
have of the great prosperity of this Sec
ton of the country will be damaged by
look at the actual state of affairs
The farmers are gloomy, and the outlook
is even more gloomy than it has ever
been since 1860 Wheat is going down,
down from two dollars to seventy cents
in the interior. There is "too much
wheat, too little corn, too many sheep, a
low price for wool, and too many debts"
all these acting to discourage the people.
The condition of the Northwest is far
worse than the South, where the agri-
cultural interest is daily becoming stron-
ger and richer. The secret of this de-
plorable state of things in the West is
the effect of the enormous taxes, protec
tive tariffs and the general unsettled and
shaky condition of the financial affairs
of the country. The people will wake
up after awhile to sense of the necessity
of change in the administration of the
country's business. Until this is done
they may look for still greater depres-
SION, not ouly III the agricultural, out I'D
the manufacturing interests of the North
and West. 1t is singular and signif-
cant fact that the Southern credit is bet
ter to-day in New York than the Wes-
tern, and this in spite of all of the disor-
ganization of labor, reconstruction and
poverty. So says the New York Post,
and the Tribune, which is as Radical as
gall, tells us that "the Southern trade
this fall has been the salvation of New
York, " and is, strange to say, willing to
accept its salvation from "redhanded
traitors, stabbers of the Union, and sap
pers of the foundations of the Republic"
Well, well it's something to save New
York, any way.-CoWicr-JOmnal.

PARIS. KENTUCKY, STOCK MARKET.

Z
The Paris (Ky..) Citizen of Tuesday
last says an unusually large quantity of
stock was thrown upon that market on
the day before-especially mules, and
thinks there were about one thousand
mules offered. Good stock ran as high
as $lG5 year!ings 500. Cattle brought
about 6 cents. We quote few interest
ing paragraphs from the Citizen:
Phil Kidd sold good many cattle,
mostly of inferior grades. Best two-year
ods brought "a cents. The demand was
Iimited-farmers generally being sup
piled. Mules brought good prices. Two
year olds from $50 to Sl60; yearlings,
first class, sos per head.
Geo. w. Hamilton reports about 500
cattle on the market. Sold 80 head two
year olds at $50 80; 80 head, ordinary,
$50. Mules, 40 head yearlings 500 90;
45 two year oIds, withdrawn at $3.50 ;
30 colts, S3l. Horses, common, brought
from $50 to $I10. No fine horses Of
fercd.
A. w. Lydick sold good two-ycar old
cattle from 81 to 6 cents ycarlings, from
$50 to $50 per head. MuIes-yearlings
from $50 to $l35. Horses, plugs, from
$50 to 500.
At G.. G. Skillman's stables three lots
of mules were sold as follows: p heaC
at S1GO; 81 head at $3.50; 8 head
$40. Several horses brought from Sc
to $50.
There was also some sharp trading
done privately on the streets. We saw
one man buy Is head of mules and sci
them again in few minutes at prof
of SD 80 on the head.

NEWS AND REMARKS.

Bullock, Forncy & Co. Thursday was
observed at the Fair Ground according
to the Thanksgiving Proclamation.
IT is very significant fact, remarks q
cotemporary, that throughout all the
Southern States the pockets of the Rad
ical office-holders are full and the State
treasures empty.
THE World says "therc is no doubt o
the rejection Of the new Constitution o.
New York, and of the universal negro
suffrage which was submitted as sep.
aratc proposition. This renewed rejec,
tion of negro suffrage is a noteworthy
result, in view of the ratification of the
fifteenth amendment by the last Legisla-
ture. The people have repudiated the
ratification which they never authorized.
When the ratifying Legislature was
elected, neither party supposed that such
a question would arise to be acted upon"
MORE EMIGRANTs FOR THE SOUTH.-
A New Orleans telegram says: "The
steamship Havana from Bremen, brought
two thousand cmigrants, 500 to Texas,
and the remainder mostly settled in Lou

OF the Treasury Department, will have
the south front of the Treasury repaired
and ready for the statue by the first of

luxury was spread upon the table. He
had a room in the house of his old friend,
Sir Curtis M, Lampson, in Eaton square,

HIGH TIMES.

1t seems that Bullock and the Kim
balls are not the only ones flush with
money. The employees on the State
road have so much that some of them
amuse themselves winning and losing ii
upon cards, and the fashion of it seems
to have grown so general as to have ex-
cited various speculations as to who will
be most successful. The Constitution is

ton on the subject. An admirer of HUI
