THE GOLD MARKET STEADY.
The range OF the gold premium to-day was within
the narrow limits or three.cighths per cent-a
steadness due on the one hand to the gradual abate
Inent OF excitement concerning the war In Europe
and on the other the general dulness OF all the
markets. The causes operating at the present time
are so equally divided In their influence upon the
course of the market that steadiness might very
possibly be the result even In more active one.
The foreign bankers are openly tho present bears"
In the Gold Room, and they base their operations
the strong reaction in American securities on the
other side OF the Atlantic, '82's In London having
risen to S3s this afternoon, against 70 80 In the
earlier stages OF the depression In England resulting
from the outbreak of hostities between France and
Prussia. Opposed to this movement IL a strongly
bulllsh sentiment on the part OF the domes-
tic spectators and among some OF our mer-
chants, who look for at least no lower
price for gold at this season, when the cotton
exports are slowly tapering to their minimum. How
far we shall need to settle the balance of trade with
specie exports In the interval to the new cotton crop
depends. again, the balance OF trade ITSELF The
statistics In another column furnished by the depart
ment at Washington show that for eleven out OF the
twelve months OF the expired fiscal year the imports
exceeded the exports by the tribe Of only 000
so that element enters into the calculation or
rather there Is an absence In great measure of the
usual basis for specie exports. We have but tri-
ding balance against The steadiness OF the gold
market is, therefore, readily accounted for The

THE NEGROES AND THE LATE
ELECTION.

The votes of the majority, of the negroes,
at the election on Thursday last, were cast as
we had expected-for the straight out Rad
ical ticket. But we confess surprise at the
action of some of this class, for whilst the
larger portion of them are ignorant and un-
educated, and hence an easy prey to the vili-
flying scoundrels who have made them their
dupes, We had thought that such intelligent
colored men as Henry Cooke, James Brady,
and others-who make their livelihood from
the aohtte people alone-would have had more
discretion. But we believe that here, as has
been the case elsewhere in the South, after
the excitement of the first exercise of the
right of suffrage is over, that they will give
the subject calm consideration, and drop, as
coal of fire, the miserable carpet>baggers
and political tricksters that have been deceiv-
ing them thus far, aud who have no interest
at stake save their own vile greed for Office.

CABINET CHANGES.

1t is worthy of note, says the Philadelphia
Record, that with the retirement of Mr.. Cox
but single one of the entire array of cabinet
officers originally appointed by General Grant
now remains. Mr.. Washburne, of Illinois,
gave way. as secretary of state, to Mr.. Fish,
of New York. Mr.. Stewart, of New York,
gave way, as secretary of the treasury, to Mr..
Boutwell,, of Massachusetts,. General Raw
Inns. of Illinois, gave way, as secretary of war,
to General Belknap, of Iowa. MIR. Borie, of
Pennsylvania, gave way, as secretary of the
navy, to Mr.. Robson, of New Jersey. Gen
eral Cox, of Ohio, has given way, as secretary
of the interior, probably to Mr.. Dclano, of the
same State. Judge Hoar, of Massachusetts,
gave way, as attorney general, to Mr.. Alderman,
of Georgia. Mr.. Creswell, of Maryland, the
postmaster general, is the only officer who has
retained his seat in the cabinet, although only
little more that twenty months have elapsed
since the original ministry was appointed.

HENRY HOUKE'S REGISTRATION.

A noted feature of the election last week,
was the presence of large number of un-
registered negroes at the polls, who, upon
being questioned as to who registered them,
uniformly replied, that "Hcnry Ho"he regis
tered them" \ number of others stated that
"Nr Bracket registered them" This was a
nice little game on the part of Mr. Brackett
but unfortunately did not work so we'll in
Grant township. The whole principle of this
dirty work can be readily perceived. Mr..
Bracket, expecting to gain possession of the
registration books before the election, had,
with the aid of Henry Houke, registered those
ignorant negroes-most of whom had prob
ably been run into the couuty-in book of
their Own, with the intention of placing their
names upon the regular registration books as
soon as they gained possession of them. But,
a'as for Bracket & Co., this rascality was of
no avail. 'Hemy Honhcs" registration
couldn't come IN.

AN ELEMENT OF DESTRUCTION.

As has been proven, rot only in West Vir-
GINA, but in every State in which elections
have been held since the enforcement of the
fifteenth amendment. the addition of the negro
vote--to which the Radicals have looked for
an extension of power-has turned out to be
the most disastrous step they have ever made.
In each successive election powerful revolu-
ton has developed itself. Men who were
formerly earnest leaders in the Republican
party, have become Disguised with its policy.
broken from its ranks, and taken up the sword
in the opposing columns. The ball is in mo-
ton, Radicalism has reached its last stage, and
naught but utter destruction awaits it in the
fntnrn
