In Kentucky there are thirty Dem
ocrats to six Republicans, in the Sen
ate. In the House of Representa-
tive, eighty-one Democrats to nine
teen Republicans. Isn't that a pretty
good showing for a party declared to
be dead Gin. Enquirer.
Yes it is But is not strange that the
disproportion is not greater, in every
southern State not ruled by the bayo-
net. Is it not the fault of the Demo
Gratis that Radical is elected to any
office in any such State p? 1t seems SO
to a man up tree.

SIX thousand stores for sale, or rent
in New Orleans, is commentary upon
Grants bayonet government, which
every true American, north or south,
should read with a shudder of appre-
hension for the safety of every State
in the Union. If Grants intention is
to make Louisiana a negro province,
he should, in mercy, issue proclama-
ton to that effect, that his white vic
tins may look out for homes, where
the blight of tyranny has not destroy
ed every vestige of constitutional right
and popular liberty.

In answer to Enquirer" as 10 who
makes the allowance of one dollar to
the County Superintendent for his ex-
animation of teachers, we would say
that we think the State Superintendent
believes it right, and that the teacher
pays the fee. The Legislature or
County Court have nothing to do with
this item. In the proceedings of the
meetings held by the County Superin-
tendents recently, We notice that the
State Superintendent takes this view
of the matter.

1T is pretty well understood that the

equally certain that the landsharks
covet those lands above all others, and
hence the inference, that the civil war

b. p. Anderson. Revenue Commissioner OF
Shelby County:
DEAR SIR see in the Appeal of
the third an editorial article headed,
The Prosecuted Wretehes,D from
which it seems that a portion of your
citizens take the opinions of the SUI
preme Court in the case of McRae VS..
McLemore's heirs, decided lately at
Jackson, as determining that the act of
1873, chapter 1lS, repeats the law of
1872, chapter 3, under which you are
acting. / write to say that such is not
the opinion of the Attorney General.
The titles of the two acts show the
different purposes for which they were
intended. The act of 1872 is, ITO
provide for the sale of lands which
have been sold for taxes due the
State, and bought in by the Collector
of Revenue In other words, it is an
act to sell the State interest in lands
hitherto purchased by the State under
tax sales. Several weeks since | re-
ceived certified copy of the opinion
in the case of McRae VS.. McLem0re's
heirs, and Immediately submitted to
the Attorney General question as to
the effect of the act of 1873 upon the
act of 1872, under his construction of
this opinion of the court. He argued
the case before the Supreme Court,
and says that the act Of 1879 was not
in the contemplation of the .Legisla-
ture when it passed the act OF 1873,
and that the act of 1872 was not before
the court when it considered the act
of 1873. You will please govern your
self accordingly. - -
Respectfully.

THE triangular fight is still progress
sing in Spain, but the result can not
be doubtful. When the struggle is
ended, through sheer exhaustion, the
strong hand of despotic power will
grasp the reins of government, bring
order out of chaos and substitute po-
litical slavery for the license of an
archy. The friends of liberty in that
long suffering country, will stand, in
history, pre-eminently above the peo-
pie of the United States inasmuch as
the former will have yielded their lib
critics to force, whilst the latter have
surrendered theirs to the destinations

The fourth was a negro man named

himself. The house is one where LOT
