1t will be seen by an examination of the
above table, that the negroes will constitute
very inconsiderable element in most of the
States named In Kentucky and Maryland
alone ore they sufficiently numerous to be
formidable; and in those States the native
whites will control considerable portion of
them. Maryland and Kentucky will con-
tinue to be steadily Democratic in spite of
the Fifteenth Amendment.
In Pennsylvania the negro vote amounts,
according to Greeley's estimate, $40
That is very small fraction in voting
population of not less than six hundred and
seventy-fve thousand. Is is only one negro
vote to seventy whites The Radicals who
have been calculating on securing contnu
Gus lease upon power by the help Of the ne
gro vote will find that they have counted
without their hosts.
In the South the native whites, who are
in close utilization with the Democratic par
ty, will control a majority CT the negro vote
SO surely as the blacks go to the polls. In
the Northern States, the element is so unim-
portant one that it will be very little felt.
The Republican party will be forced to make
constant concessions to the blacks if they ex-
pect to hold even majority of them. Am
bilious negroes will demand a share of the
Offices even in the Northern States, and if
their claims are not recognized they will
abandon the party. Sambo will not be sat
isfed to do the voting for white Radicals -
He will insist upon having his share of the
leaves and fishes, and if this be denied him,
as it certainly will, he will breed trouble;
and the radicals may yet find that they have
caught Tartar in their sable ''man and
brother ."-Lynchbusy Nems.

! We have thought best to submit the
j City Tax Bill to our readers without com
| ment. AZ defective rs it may be, aud nc
tax bill can please all, VIC have no doubt
it is the result OF careful Investigation
and that the expenses of the city increased
50 unnecessarily and dishonesty by the
last administration, require the amount
which will be raised under the operations
OF this bill
Our attention has been directed to one
objection, which we think is so palpably I'M
Just as 10 call for amendment. We refer
to tax OF ten cents upon each cart bring
ing produce into the city, and twenty
cents upon each wagon. To be more ex-
pll2lt; the farmer who IS compelled to
bring his crop of ground peas to market
IN carts, each containing from ten to IT,
teen bags, pays tax Of ten cents upon
every load. The commission merchant
who sells the peas pays tax upon his
sales. This same merchant has already
paid license tax TO carry on his business.
The farmer pays all these taxes at last. So
that the ground peas transported 20 mar
ket III carts or wagons pay three distinct
taxes.
But the injustice of this tax is even more
apparent when we consider the fact that
the farmer who lives upon the river or
Sound, and his crop is sufficiently large to
charter vessel Of some kind to bring il
to market, there is no tax upon the trans
portat1on. This gives the larger producer
ana those living convenient to water trans
Portat1on the advantage over the poorer
farmer, or one living more remotely from
water communications with our CITY. The
same IS true of the farmer who ships his
produce by railroad
1t seems that this is an unjust discrimi-
nation against those, much the larger and
poorer class, who are compelled to bring
thelr produce to market by means of carts
and wagons. We really think this subject
Is OF sufficient importance to call for some
P0ohc expression Of opinion by our bust
ness men and farmers, and the Executive
committee of the Care Fear Agricultural
AsSociatlon might well make it the subject
OF discussion and action. We have conf.
oence IN the business capacity of Mayor
MARTIN and some Of the members of the
Board OF Aldermen, and we are sure. if
inc lnJustlce Is made apparent to them, the
remedy will be applied. We ;, rome.

HOOAu1I Attu, 1CIO
Editors TIln2imJh0n J0uruaL:-On the
22d instant we killed O native hog g. years
old) that weighed net G33 pounds. We
are satisfied that this hog would have
weighed fifty pounds more four weeks ago
than he did at the time he was slaughtered.
AS evidence of the fact four weeks past he
measured nearly twenty-four inches across
the shoulders from outside to outside
We measured him again eight OF ten days
past and he only measured Il little over
twenty-five inches, showing concIusively
that he had lost flesh. Wa are satisfied
that the loss came from changing his
food We had fed aim on hominy, pota-
toes, boiled and raw corn Up to four weeks
past. We had lof of widowed peanuts
and concluded to feed them to him, think
ing they would mako him improve faster
We fed the peanuts to him about eight or
ten days, which resulted in the loss of flesh
described above. The cause, we suppose,
is this: the hog was too large to stand
to hull the peanuts, consequently ate bulls
and all, and did not masticate them we'll,
conseq emily he became bound in the
bowels and fevered. That is the cause of
loss of weight. We do not know that we
are correct. but think we are. We would
like to hear the opinions Of some of our
farmers.

ge. York Democracy.

While few anti-Radical papers parade
with ill-disguised Joy what they please to
term discussions among the triumphant
Democrats of New York. the people OF
that State, who at least are presumed to
be the best judges in regard to the matter,
tell at the ballot box quite different tale.
Spring elections have just been held IN
some of the interior counties, and, almost
without exception, they show continued
and increased Democratic majorities.-
Chautauqua county, the residence Of the
Radical Senator IL Congress-. Ex-Governor
FENToN, has elected a democratic majority
in the Board of Supervi sors-the first
time since the organization of the old an
ti-Masonic party in 1928. Lewis county
Board-the first since the organization of
the Radical party.
The truth is that in New York the De-
moclacy are relaying the foundations of
the party broad and firm, and we expect
to see the people of that State and of Con
necticut, New jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Illinois, Indiana end other States North
and West rally to its support in the cleo
tons of the present year. Despite mis-
takes and defeats, we have hopes of the
early success of the National Democratic
party. We see no other hope for the po-
litical redemption Of the Southern people
and the regeneration of the country. We
shall do all we can to assist it in its fight
with RGdicalism, until hope itself is gone.
The people are becoming tired of Rad
icalism-its extravagancies, its corrup-
tons, its tyrannies, its disregard of the
rights of the people and its contempt for
laws and constitutions; and we believe if
prudence and wisdom govern the coupsels
of the Democratic party, The sceptre of
power will be again placed in its hands,
and the country viii once more become
and spirit of unity, Of sym
oathy and Of interest will mark the inter
course between sections now discordant
md people now alienated. Prejudice and |
Intolerance will give way to kindiness and |
Justice, and there will indeed be q Union |
f States, in fact as we'll as IN name.
