! That the negro element throughout the
country is gradually concentrating into a
| separate and distinct party, all the signs of
the times plainly Indicate. They have
| already met in one exclusive convention
and contemplate others, principal among
which Is one to be held in New Orleans and
one In Washington, the object of which is
to demand that colored man be pu. on the

may, therefore, calculate upon most of the
demands made upon them by the colored
people being acceded to. Indeed the
course recently pursued toward Parker, at
washington, is suggestive indication Of
this result.-Ijmes, Nurct 70.

| 4 streak of sound sense made its ap-
pearance in the Picayune yesterday, which
will probably have the effect Of creating a
sus. icion in the minds Of its Democratic
readers that it is going over to the radi-
calls. Discussing the subject of taxation
and the duty of the citizen with reference
| thereto, it says directly that every good
| citizen and sensible man should pay his
taxes promptly, as neglect to attend to
that duty only inHicts costs upon himself
and increased burdens on his neighbors.
The proper way to diminish the rate of
taxation is not by refusing to pay those
that the government levies. but by elect
ing men who will reduce expenses to that
standard which the voter may suggest as
the proper rate. The people being the
ruling power, it is within their capacity to
determine what taxation they are willing
to endure before they so to the baliot-box,
and it is further within their capacity to
select men to represent them who will not
exceed the limit fixed Al these are mat
ters that ought to be attended 70 before
and at the time of an election. This idea
that the ballot-box is a mere plaything is
the trouble, and not the taxes. Men must
either treat the elective franchise a, a pre-
ventive against injury, or they iliust en-
dure the evil of their own neglect.
another suggestion can not lie too fre-
quently impressed upon the people, town.:
that the man who continually delays to
pay his taxes aggravates his OWL COM
plaint. and creates the necessity for still
greater taxation. And what Is still worse,
he Injuries his neighbor who has faithfully
discharged his debt to the community.
These tru;sms can be reduced t. three
propositions: First, the citizen must
learn what he wants. and IL that
knowledge in lis mind SO that he can state
1t. Second, the citizen must select p re- !
Liable representative to execute the public
trust with regard to the execution of this |
determination. Third. he must promptly
perform bis duty. and see that his neigh
Dor does his. And these three dutie, are
woven together, for TIE neglect TO attend
to one deranges the entire system.
We are satisfied that the Picay,ae will
have to apologize for saying the sensible
thing which We credited it with at the out
set of this article for the Democracy sus-
poets every man who says sensible thing

What has happened the Democracy oi

Blanc, Fortier, Butman and others pun
1;sbed an appeal to the "fery untamed OF

dertaking. AS ''reforn" organizations

above sentence, came as near telling 'ne

to induce the people to follow them Is
proven by the failure Of their convention

A LloNEss AT LARGE.-A performance
not down on the bills occurred during
the visit OF Noycs' circus to Austin,
Texas, recently. While the keepers of
the lioness were removing ller from the
cage TO the band wagon, preparatory to
the parade upon the streets, her majesty
managed to make her escape from GUS
tody. The admiring crowd of specta-
tors, struck with terror, fled prcciptate-
ly. The lionss first attacked mule,
springing upon its back, but the animal
proved TO be regular Texas pitcher"
and threw her royal highn"ss some two
or three rods over his head. Disconl-
flied here, the savage beast attacked a
h orse, seizing him by the throat, and
succeeded in Inflicting some ugly wounds
before she could be beaten Vi Follow
ed by her keepers, she then retreated to
the tent adjoining the circus, and used
as dresslng-room. The occupants,
upon her appearance, did not stand upon
the order of their going, but left, some
OF them up the centre pole, which they
climbed with more agility than they had
ever exhibited in any ring performance
Having cleared this apartment, the Ii
oness rushed from the tent, mounted q

but before she could do any damage
she was captured aud secured by hel

Interesting Facts of the Census in O.

General Garfield has, at the request of
the Secretary of State OF Ohio, prepared
a paper upon the results of the census
as far as they relate 90 this State, which
will be embodSed in the forthcoming re.
port OF the Secretary. This paper has
been prepared with much labor, and con-
tains information of considerable value.
Among other facts, it is shown that the
emlgration from and immigration to
Ohio have been very nearly egnal-that
Is, the number of persons who have come
to this State from other States and from,
foreign countries, has been balanced by
the number born here who have gone
to other States and found homes.
In thhtY-seven counties, th0pe has
been an increased population in the last
decade thirty three have been station
AIRY, aud III eighteen there has been a de-
crease. The counties that have gained
are OF three classes !: the seventeen agli-
cultural counties of the Northwest,
which have been largely settled since
lS60, have increased Sc, 300 in tie nine
iron manufacturing and iron and coal
mining counties in the Mahoning Valley
and in the extreme southern part of the
State, there has been an increase of So
500. The remaining increase has been
III the eleven counties containing cities,
which have gained 10000 IN all the
rest of the State, the gain has been but
1850.
1t appears from these figures that, il
the cities are excluded, and those Ooun-
ties which have been newly settled, and
Others where tie development of the
iron and coal industries has caused a
rapid increase, the population of Ohio
has become almost stationary, the in.
crease in ten years having been iAconsit
