LIVINGSTON, Tenn, Nov. 26, 1870
DR.. H. M. Colquitt, Democrat, is our
Representative-elect He is an ex-mem-
Der of the House, and is gentleman of
considerable ability. You know him.
]. D. Lewis, Radical, is the Senator-elect
for this district. This discreditable, not
to say disgraceful result, is attributable 10
the apathy of the voters of this county,
not half of q full vote being polled-to
the fact that there were two Democratic
candidates and to personal feuds in the
party, The rates of tuition in the school
of experience are proverbislly high, but
it is said that certain class will learn iu
no other school. Let US hope the lesson
will not be forgotten. The Senator-elect
is a Senter Republican and Northern
man.

Admixture OF Races.

Nowhere, perhaps, says Prof Agassiz,
is the physical and moral deterioration
of pure races so clearly shown as in
Brazil. The hybrid between the Indian
and the negro, called cafnzo, has none
of the delicacy of the mulatto; his com
plexion is dark, his hair long, wavy and
curling, and his character, instead Of be-
ing confding, but indolent, is described
BY AgassiZ as exhibiting happy combi-
nation between the jolly disposition Of
the negro and the energetic, enduring
powers Of the Indian. The hybrid between
the white and half-breed is called mamel-
uco, and is described as being pallid, effem-
mate, feeble, lazy and rather obstinate,
the Indian influence having apparently
obliterated the higher characteristics of
the white, without imparting its own en-
ergies to the offspring. Noticeable ex-
ceptions to this picture may be found in
the halfbreeds of the semi-ciyilized
communities of our Southern Indians.
1t is very remarkable that the Indian
crossing with either negro or white,
makes deeper impress on his progeny
than the other races, and, in accordanee
with this fact, it is observed that, in
further crossings, the pure Indian char
acteristics are resumed and those of the
other races thrown of. Let any one"
says Professor Agassiz, who doubts the
evil Of the mixture of races, and is in
clined, from mistaken philanthropy,
to break down all barriers between them
visit Brazil.
