The Coal Business and the II Hannwhn
River.

Outside Of Kanawha there seems to
have sprung up great prejudice
against the Kanawha river. 1t is now
generally acknowledged that the coal
Of Kanawha is equal, and in some re-
spects superior, to any other coal in the
United States; but-"the Kanawha is
not uavigable for coal boats.
In order to more fairly examine this
question it may be we'll to draw a com
parison between our river and the
Monongahela, whence come the sixty
millions of bushels which simply the
Mississippi Valley.
|. From actual sur,eys made we
know that for the first ninety miles the
Monongahela averages 900 feet in width,
while the Kanawha is only 600. But
the volume of water flowing from the
latter is more than double that Of the
Monongahela.
.. The consequence is, that never for
many years, have the packets failed to
make their daily trips to a point some
miles above Charleston, although the
Kanawha is not locked; while the Mo
nongahela i. obstructed by low water
almost every summer, Notwithstanding
the slack water Improvements.
3. There are large and deep pools of
water on the Kanawha for loading-for
instance, from Charleston up for dis
tance OF least ten miles, there can not
be less than an average depth OF eight
feet Of water.
1. The Kanawha river seldom freez'
es; and then but tor a day or two;
while ice IN the Monongahela is one OF
the great dangers.
5. On the Monongahela coal is never
sent out except ION a rise; and the
waters of the Kanawha rise twice where
the Monongahela rises once. This is
accounted for when we consider the i'm
mense length of the Kanawha, which
stretches far into North Carolina under
the name OF New river.
G. The tolls are greatly less on the
Kanawha than on the Monongahela,
!. Being two hundred and fifty miles
nearer to Cincinnati the towage OF boats
must necessarily be less than one-half
the cost from Pittsburgh. while from
the mouth of the Kanawha the Ohio is
not the shallow creeping river tits near
er Pittsburgh.
Moreover, not only is the danger o'
sinking or destruction against the pier;
of many bridges which span the upper
portion Of the Ohio diminished more
than one-half, but the proximity tc
market will enable dealers TO ship often
load light, and thus take advantage o
the smaller rises" which the greate]
distance OF the Monongahela from
market will not allow its shippers &c
do.
Finally, the advantages OF our rivel
have been practically demonstrated By
the annual shipment Of more than eigh'
millions Of bushels without loss.

Hew the Kentueky Negroes voted.
From the Evansville Courier.l
II is known to most, Of our readers,
we presume. that elections in Kentucky
are conducted on the pira roes system;
that is to say, the elector does not de-
posit written or printed ticket in a
ballotbox, but he approaches the pre-
cinct and pronounces, in the hearing
Of the officers who conduct the election,
the name Of the person for whom he
desires to vote and the Office to be filled.
This 10 in pursuance Of section is. Of
Article Z, Of the Constitution OF that
State, which reads as follows;
AIN all elec6ons by the people, and
also BY the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatives, jointly or separately. the
votes shall bs personally and publicly
gwen. rira roeS provided, that dumb
persons entitled to suffrage may vote BY
ballot"
We happened to be present at the
election last Monday several hours, in
the city Of Henderson. In the city
there were two voting places. At each
OF them temporary partition was
erected separating the white and black
voters, and we observed that the ne
groes, without q single exception,
walked up to the officers Of the elec-
ton with printed ticket, published on
reddish or orwinecolored paper, and by
its peculiar color only did theykuow that
it contained the names Of the Radical
candidates In long lines they pressed
up 10 the polls, and drawing forth their
badge Of Radicalism, called out Boss,

didales produced the law which We
quoted, and insisted that it should be
observed. The officers concluded TO try
it, and OF the next five negroes who
came to the polls only one Of them
knew more than a single candidate
whom they proposed supporting. They
seemed very generally to understand
that General Harlan was running Tor
Governor, but beyond that the great
mass OF them knew not o single candi.
date on the ticket, and the names OF
the candidates might just as we'll have
been published in Hebrew as in Roman
characters, 80 far as the printed tickets
served to enlighten the dusky sov.
ereigns. Not one ia twenty could read
a word, and beyond the fact that they
had been instructed to support the eau.
didates whose names were on the red
ticket, they we're rs ignorant OF what
they were doing as il they had been a
pack Of mules.
