OUR CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS-

In presenting to the voters Of the Fifth District
the name Of Hon. phiandrr J. Carleton as il can
lidate for their votes at the ensuing election do
so with no small decree of pride and satisfaction
There is need OF no apology for him. He H.
exactly the man to supply the needs which the
locality feels pressing upon it and who understands
lust when where and how to apply The remedy.
He has known the days when our Great 4hlbuild
ing interest grew and expanded under The benign
and fostering care of the government, when every
,hipyard was hive of busy industry, and every
owner, mechanic and sailor had enough and to
evil days of the present, when the yards are desert
ed and silent, and all who formerly thrived by this
peculiar industry of our coast are whemrl in one
common ruin.
II is easy to tear.lown TO destroy but 10 restore,
to build anew, requires industry, forecast, skill,
brains. The destroycrs are never the builders
the retar,ers can never he promoters 1t Is SO in
the characteristics of the animal kingdom, it is
in the affairs of mankind.
Wcpresent our candidate ~ type of the Thought
full and earnest men, who have contributed SO
largely to the prosperity OF our Stale IN the days
that are past and who, if the people )" Will it, can
show Congress what it at present $" poorly under
stands--yiz: how to restore the prosperity of
sea board.
The attention of the laboring men OF the District
is invited to the resolutions OF the Convention.
The prosperity of all calEgs sympatlilzes more or
less with that of navigation. Ii demands the pro-
duets of farmers, laborers and mechanics and pays
them all "A round profit. What IS for the interest
of the coast is for the interest OF the interior. SO
joined and interminged are they that no separation
il possible without injury.
1t only remains for to say that Mr.. Carleton is
one of the most esteemed and popular citizens of
Knox County, of the fare-t fame and most blame
less record He is in the prime of life, and the full
maturity of his powers. He has rather stunned than
sought public life; but in his service in the Legis-
ature of the State has given evidence of an aptitude
for public business which needs but opportunity to
reach much greater Development. We feel Ger
tain that the considerations presented will have
great influence with the people of the District, anG
that candidate will receive the compliment of
largely increased vote, if he be not triumphantly
elected.

as the Democratic candidate for Congress

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

The New York World gives facts and fig
ures which cannot fail to reassure the demo-
cratic heart. We condense from that we'll
informed journal the pith of an article SHOW
ing that the next house of representatives
will be democratic
The present house consists of radicals, 1863 :;
democrats, 75 total 238. In all probability
the next house will stand 12G democrats to
1l2 radicals.
Let us examine the basis for this SUPPOSE
ton. The northern temper is such that dem
ocratic members will be returned in dis
trcts now represented by democrats. Be
side this, in close districts now represented
by radicals, change may be looked for,
through which democrats may be elected
Southern democratic politicians are pecul
iarly active, and the carpet baggers are to
be swept entirely away. If this be so, Ala
bama, now having divided delegation, will
send four democrats and two radicals Ar
kansas will send her whole delegation, three
members, democratic, Florida one, Georgia
six, Louisiana four democrats and one radi-
cal, Mississippi three democrats and two rad
icals, North Carolina four and three, South
Carolina two each, Texas two each, and
Virginia six democrats to two radicals
Tennessee will send her whole delegation,
nine members, democratic Total in south
ern states, Al democrats; "A radicals In
the present house there are IS radicals to %
democrats 1t will be seen by the result in
North Carolina that this calculation is within
the probabilities. The estimate of four and
three was made before the late election,
which actually gives FIVE Democrats to two
radicals.
A consideration OF the vote in several dis
tricts in northern states iusiities the belief Of
great changes In seventeen districts radi-
cal members We're elected by majorties less
than 500 In seven districts by less than one
thousand, and in seven other districts by less
than fifteen hundred majority Strong and
active exertions may send in each of these
thirty-one districts sound democrats The
popular demand for reform, and the disgust
caused by the violence, dishonesty and cor
ruption of the present congress, is working
silently but effectively. No party in the
world can sustain itself under such a load of
outrage and yenality A change of $50
votes will turn out the incnmbents, whose
majority was nearly 1900, and such changes
are being wrought, In the 21st, 18th, 10th
and 10th Pennsylvania districts; 4th New
Jersey; 9TH, 9Th, 10th, ID, Sd and 18th Ohio !;
4th and 9TH Indiana; 18th and 18th New
York, and 9th Missouri, a change of few
votes will elect democrats The Chinese
question will give one democratic member
each from Massachusetts, California and
New Jersey, and one, or probably two,
from Pennsylvania.
On a careful review the prospect is good
for u complete cleansing of the lower Augean
stable And let all good people say Amen !

THE CENSUS AT THE SOUTH. 1t is n mat
ter of regret that the census to be taken of
persons and property at the South will be
wholly unreliable The data We're looked
tor with interest by students of social science.
Yet the whole costly and laborous and valu-
able process has been botched by partisan
ship. A correspondents OF the n. Y Tiinca
explains
As is weIl known, abont nnety-nine per cent of
the republican party in the south is composed OF
negroes, and the remaining one per cent. OF carpet
bag adventures from the North, and low class scala
wag Southern renegades; alike destitute Of com
prehenslon OF the objects OF census and OF hdehty
TO discharge properly any duty cOntided to them if
intricate or laboriou-. From this class the Deputy
Nlarshas were rigdly selected. In one neighbor-
ing locality colored YOUTH about tWenty-one years
of age, has charge of whole county, and is per
forming his duty lin violation of law with chance
white assistance. As his conception of the uses of
census and the desirableness of accuracy, are
necessarily of the most shadOwy character, the
value OF his statistics can be duly appreciated. And
except in the case of this colored boy in no county
within my observation is the Deputy Marshal il
resident.
There is one fact which will not he brought out
by the census enquiries but wide observation has
satisfied of its correctness, which will tend to
show the rapid deterioration of the colored race i'll
a state of freedom. Under the Old slave system as
in the South We're colored-nearly every plantation
having lis colored carpenters, blacksmith, wheel
wright, shoemaker, &C., who were taught their
trades with considerable All such now liy-
ing are sl pursuing their trades; but the re-
marEabe fact is, there no colored apprentices.
The free colored youth will not learn trade.
When the present generation who learned their
trades slaves, die out, there will be more col
ored mechanics. The race will resume its natural
StatuS--that Of casual, unskilled laborerA. The
Same remark applies to trained house servants.
Chinese house servants in the South will, i'll few
years, be AN absolute necessity.
The fact above stated by Republican pa
per, that 80 per cent. O. OF that party in the
South is composed of negroes, and the re-
mainder of scalawags, is calculated to i'm
press optimistic Republicans of this region
most painfully. But we believe the writer
has not greatly misreprcsented his political
friends.

The steamer City OF Richmond had collision on

She was coming down with the strong cbb tide in

her officers heard the same signals from another

the customary two short whistles for putting the

the Richmonds course changed. Immediately the

one sharp whistle, for the Richmond to put her

THE REJoIcrNGs IN BERLIn.-One
may well credit the following account
of the demonstrations which occurred
in Berlin upon the announcement Of
the great victory at Sedan:
A dispatch from Berlin, to-day, says
the rejOicings over the reception of the
glorious news from Sedan battle de-
scription. 1t was known ut o'clock
in the NOR ming. The whole pOpula-
ton poured into the streets and rushed
to the palace of the Queen. In q very
few minutes the Queen was out on the
balcony dressed in a plain morning
wrapper, weeping with joy, as she re-
ceived the deafening cheers of the
multitude. Hundreds of women went
down OH their knees with streaming
eyes, thanking God for the apparent
approach of the close of the terrible
war. Schools were closed and process
siOns of children formed in all quart
ers. Many climbed the statute of
Frederick the Great, browning it with
wreaths and flags. An impromptu
procession Of citizens was gotten up,
which marched through the streets
with banner and music.
