From the Brandon Republican

We admit that the negroes are in a small
majority, and that if united they could beat
Us, but they will not unite, as heretofore. on
a carpet-bag thief as against a home gentle
Oting-the novelty has worn Off-and they
will not go to the polls. The fact that all
county and beat officers are to be elected
this fall, and that every white voter will
have some friend or favorite running, will
make the whites turn ont to man. Taking
every thing into consideration, we feel con-
fident OF success. All we ask is that every
man does his duty.

They have been brought hither by land

lesson. In Alabama the achites have a
majority of A, 900 in round numbers.
The State is under Radical rule Three
years ago the Conservatives made dash
on two or three negro strongholds and
carried the State; but it has since been
lost to them. In North Carolina the
,uhites have go, 900 majority. Last
year the Radicals elected their candi-
date for Governor In Louisiana the
,chites have 362, 900 to S64, 900 blacks,
and yet her despairing white population
are begging to be relieved from the mis-
cries of their situation by the entire
Obliteration of the State as a separate
political community. In Florida the
,Ohites have 96, 600 to 81, 900 blacks; and
yet the Radicals reign supreme in
her State Administration. In South
Carolina the blacks have 126, 900 ma
jority but why speak of herr There is no
example in any State in which white mi
nOrity have permanently overcome ne
gro majority. The examples are all the
other way. The blacks are held together
by the belief which has been fixed in
their minds that the Democratic organi-
cation lives only to take away from them /
their newly acquired privileges. And |
a considerable number of whites are en-
listed in the same organization, some for

to defeat the DISTINGUISHING Constitution,
disproves the assertion. The election of
SO is not a case in point. White men
who staid away from the polls and there
by aided in the Inauguration of the Car
pet-bag regime which has ever since
cursed the State, have no right to cast
reproach on the conduct of the negro in
that canvass; and the same remark ap-
plies to the election of last year. Thou
sands who would not sink their lifelong
prejudices and vote for Horace Greeley
on an unexceptional platform in order to
get rid of the Mournful Facts, are abus-
ing the negro for not voting for him, and
are making him scapegoat for their
own sins. But what does the canvass of
1871 show? We can name more than a
half dozen closely contested counties
that would have been lost to the Con-
servatives in the election of members of
the Legislature but for the aid of negro
voters, who g fought nobly" on their
side. The truth is, the efforts of the
Conservative Reconstructionists who
were compelled to encounter the folly
of home whites on the one hand and
the rascality of adventures and seal
lawags on the other, were not wholly
in vain, as the conduct of the blacks
have shown ~ every election since 1867,

man, brought suit against McCray Tor the
face of The note with interest, tie case conn
ing to trial yesterday in that city, Mr. Mc/
Cray's defence being that the note Was a
forgery. The first witness examined was
Mr. McCray, who swore positively tnat the
note was u forgery. W. r. Merchant, Of
this place, testified that the signature
was not McCray's. Cap. Ketfer, of this
place, was then called. His testimony was
OF the most convincing kind, be showing a
large number at receipts TO which Mr.. Ms
name was signed, none OF which bore the
elightest resemblance to the signature OF
the note. His evidence convinced the jury
who returned a true bill against Mrs. Pat/
