The comparative merits Of the thor
oughbred sires during the past year is
an interesting but delicate subject Of
discussion among racing men. Lexing-
ton, bennington, Eclipse, Australian,
Daniel Boone, Uncle Vie, Planet and
Vandal stand eonlessesly ct the head Of
the list Of racing stations. Lexington
rsjoices most 10 the performance Of his
great two year old SOD, Hamburg, who is
credited with the fastest mile on record
at that age. bennington can boast Of
such Ayers as Lynchburg, Enquirer (who
at Memphis beat Hamburg at even
weigh,sl, Miss Alice, Annie Mace. etc
a bright galaxy Of feet ones for any
horse in bis first season.
Eclipse is we'll sustained By such racers
as Narrsgansett and Fanny Ludlow, who
has shown greater speed than any horse
on the turf for over q mile. Cottrill does
high creditto Daniel Boone as thorough
bred stallion, for the high speed he
showed at Jerome Park fairly electrified
the lookers-on, and was perhaps never
excelled, if equslled, on the American
turf Helmbold and Maggie B. B. do
honor to Australians merits az a sire !;
and Herzog and Versailles will not allow
NsndAfs claims 10 distinction to be soon
forgotten. This season Keutueky's pro-
geny viii make their debut, and it re-
mains to be seen il the bright reuown he
acquired on the turf will be maintained
and perpetusted ct the stud.

LONDON, February 2.-Mr. Douglass
has received letter from Ashbury de-
clining his form of challenge for race
between the yachts Sappho and Cambria.
He now offers new proposition to Doug.
lass for three races from Noblight, round
Oness lighthouse, off Sussex coast, thence
round steamboat, twenty miles to sea and
back to Noblight, distance of fifty-five
miles. Ashbury recalls his former offer
to race the Sappho, and Internationally
insists on a time allowance. Should q
race now take place, and the New York
rule of measurement be observed, Doug
lass will probably accept the Oness light
house race offer.

DECREAsE OF THE NEGRO POPU-
LATION I'm KENTUCKY.

From statistical reports it is shown
that the negro population of Kentucky
has been greatly reduced during nine
years past. 10 1860 this class OF popu-
lation numbered in the State 236, l67.
In 1869 it was found to be only lac, 445,
exhibiting the fact of decrease IN nine
years of 1922. We doubt very much
that if any of the Southern States have
increased in this kind of population
since the day of the late Abraham
Lincoln's proclamation of freedom.
The Yankees could have scarcely found
out more signal method of destroying
the negroes than By removing them from
under the care of former kind masters.
The inability to take care and provide
for themselves will cause the disappear
ance of large number Of this unfortu-
nate and doomed race. Slavery is the
only state 10 which the African can be
preserved from toisl extinction; and ex-
perience will prove him inespacitated to
enjoy freedom.

New YoRK, February 3.-The conven-
ton of delegates from the various trot-
ting associations of the country assem-
bled in this city yesterday. Fifty-one
associations were represented. A per-
manent organization was effected as fol-
lows: President, VIM. Parks, Brooklyn /;
Vice Presidents, J. @. Simpson, Du-
buque, and George H. Saltman, Reading,
Penn; Secretaries, Geo. 81. Smith, Rhode
Island, and B. G. Ruce, Cincinnati. A
committee was appointed to reduce the
trotting rules and canon.
The stone-masons ore still on strike,
aud are quite resolved not to give in to
the reduction proposed by Commodore
Vanderbilt. The strikers number ITO
men, and are all employed on the new
Hudson river railroad depot. The Com
modore wants the men to work for 81,
instead of 81 so, per day.
The following telegram in reference to
tue hey west tragedy has been received

KEY WEST, February 1.-The duel
between Costemon and Reyes, editor of
El Republicano, did not take place, be-
cause the authorities interfered. Another
Cuban challenged Costemon, but the
latter would not accept it. The Cuban
then insulted Costemon, who fred shot
OF him. In returning the fire Costemon
was killed. Another Cuban and
Spsniard, who were present, exchanged
shots, and were both slightly wounded"

cYNrRAL TATE (COLORED) AND
THE PRESIDENT.

II was announced sometime since that
the Government of Hayti had sent to
Washington its Representative, in the
person of one General Tate, who is q
genuine specimen of the African species.
Little has been heard from this negro
since his arrival, and, for reason, it may
be attributable to bis inability to adapt
his foreign lingo to the understanding OF
Washington society.
The President did not forget the col
ored representative, however. in making
out the list of invited to the White
House on the last State occasion. The
Minister from Hsyti and his black wife
were duly honored with an invitation to
dinner along with the other guests ex-
pected to be present. 1t was q mishap
most unfortunate that just before this the
news had come from Hayti tkst the
Chief of the Republic, Sylvan Sslnsve'
haG been captured and executed BY his
snemies. This TIRES General Tate and
wife into on unexpected state of grief,
which prevented their accepting Granite
Invitation to dinner. How unfortunate
for Mrs. Grant aud the ladies of her
household to be thus deprived of the
pleasure Of q socisble feast With Hsyfs
favored son aud daughter. These are
the words Of General Tate declining the
invitation Of General Grant;
General aud Madame Tate have the
honor TO present their respectful compli'
neuts to His Excelleney, the President,
and Mrs Grant, and beg them to accept
their sincere thanks for the invitation
which they have received. While they
feel profoandly the honor which is thus
conferred upoa them and highly appre-
ciated, the grandeur of the motives which
have caused them 10 be invited to the

been placed by the lste announcement
this morning Of the eKecation 10 Hsyti OF

sent, obliges them to decline his generous
invitation, which they will always retain
in their hearts, a profound and eternal
recognition, which will be shared by the
friends of humanity. by all the defenders
of justice and equality Bmopg men, to

PRINCE ARTHUR.

Prince Arthur, the second son Of Her
| Majesty, Queen Victoria. has for some
little time been on visit to this country.
He has paid visit to Washington City,
where the curious Yankees had fine op-
portuniiy of beholding the young lion,
We looked for nothing short of good
deal Of snobbery on the occasion of his
appearance in this God-equality coun-
try, and the display has fully met our ex-
pectations. 1t was we'll for the heads
of the Government TO- show the
young sprig of royalty some degree OF
attention, as an evidence of respect and
kindly feeling entertained for the gov
eminent of his mother. But it evinoed
an amount of coarse breeding for people
that profess to adore republican inssitu-
tons to 20 down on their knees to and
beg the favor of shaking by the hand
boy who happens TO belong to royal
family. The snobs Of New York are now
having fne time in toasting the Prince
and entertaining him with fetes, parties
aud balls. What delightful occasion
il is for the ladies' Of Puritan progena-
tors to ait, dance and feast with the
scion of house which delighted to
Cypress their forefathers. II was once

rather tall, with whiskers long and of
blonde kind. His features are sharp, bis
nose aquslire, Ead in stature is rather
above the medium hight His every day
dress generally consists of sn cliye.green
broadcloth surlout, dark paDtaloons,

turn to Montreal about the 10Th OF this

the recent cold snap caused many of the

was a cottonwood tree FIVE or six years
old, and some six inches in diameter.
The cold caused this tree to burst open
for a distance of six feet or more from

burst and send forth report similar to

In the northern part Of the State
farmers will feed their stock nearly
seven months this year.
The Mt. Vernon Democrat reports
the prospects for wheat in Posey
County as excellent, never better, and
the farmers in good humor thereat.
THE Grandview Monitor says that
the peach crop in that vicinity is
comparatively uniDjured by the frost,
and the apples are entirely unhurt.
TOBACCO. of which there was a
large amount grown last year in Spen-
Ger county, is coming to market very
rapidly, and the stemmeries are all
doing a good business. Many farmers
have adopted the plan of selling their
crops by the wagon load. at public
auction, and almost every day large
trains Of wagons are upon the streets,
loaded with the weed" which brings
good round prices.
IT is the opinion among the farmers
of Jay county that the next wheat
harvest will be as much below an
average crop as the last years crop
was above it.
THE Rochester Standard says:
Many cattle are dying in the west
ern part of Fulton county. The
cause of this defamation of the bo-
vines is the long continued inclem-
ent weather and the defective quality
of the prairie hay cut last sumner.
THE Terre Haule Express says:
From what we can learn from the
farmers throughout the county, the
wheat crop will be quite slim this
year. But this 10 about what we
learned last year.
In the locality of Charleston, and
some other portions of Clarke county,
there will be an abundance of peach
bloom, and tho prospect is now fair
for a general crop OF fruit, including
apples, pairs, cherries and small fruits.
In other portions of Clarke county,
and in many localities in Indiana and
Kentucky, We are sorry to learn the
peach bloom is entirely DESTROYED
