THE LAST STRAW.

Civil Rights viii not balance against
shekels. Radical influence on the
Southern negro, particularly in the
towns, is passing away. The loss of
their scanty earnings by this unfortu-
nate race, through misplaced confidence
In the Freedman's Bank, is opening
their eyes. Each swindled depositor
becomes an apostle against carpet-bag-
gers among his fellows. And these
depositors are generally the more thrift
ty, intelligent and influential among
their people. The direct losses often
90 far beyond individual depositcrs.
For instance, we hear of a colOred
church, the erection of which has been
stopped by the locking up of $4,000 of
its funds In the broken bank. The
congregation is a large one, each indi-
vidual of which and all his sympathiz-
ing friends, become soured on Radical
ism and the Government" which per-
mitted them to be swindled. The aggra-
vation must 90 on increasing. What
guarantee have they that the Commits
sioners, now winding up the rotten
concern, are any better than the off
GERS who preceded them? They Will
ask if these new fellows are prolong-
ing the agony merely to prolong their
own salaries. Thus the interminable
delay, foreshadowed by the Commits
sioners' report, viii make the defunct
institution a standing grievance with
them for years to come. The darkies
know full well that such corps Of ras-
Gals as run the bank and its various
branches to destruction, could not be
organized among our Southern whites.
They know the native whites would
never sink so low as to steal from them.
This bitter experience was perhaps nee
essary to undeceive them, and to lead
their minds back to their true and nat
ural friends, the people among whom
they live, and who are interested in the
local prosperity of all.

ONE question that will probably be
suggested to the coming Legislature is,
whether the vital statistics of Tennes.
see-births, marriages and deaths, with
the diseases causing the latter-should
not be carefully collected and pre-
served. 1t would be Of great interest
from sanitary point of view to know
what proportion of our population die
annually, and of what they die. Such
statistics would show what diseases are
incident to the various localities in the
State, and many other facts of the
highest Importance to medical science.
They would also demonstrate what oc-
equations are the most conducive to
health in our climate. We are con-
tident that the information gathered
would entitle us to claim Tennessee az
one Of the healthiest States in the
Union.

THE demise of the Nec York Re.
public Is another evidence that the
Southern outrage business has been
overdone. Edited by a SOutherner,
a Nashville man, it;exh ;bited the most
vindictive spirit toward the people Of
this section. Thefew Numbers we saw
teemed with stories of outrages alleged
to have been committed in various
parts of the South. No fabrication was
too monstrous for its columns But it
awoke only feble echo, and now fz-
zles out after an existence of little
more than two months. The sign is a
healthy one.

CIVIL RIGHTS OUTSIDE OF
SCHOOLS

In its desperate attempt to hold the
negro vote for l876-an attempt utter
ly futile after the widespread collapse
Of the Freedman's banks-the dying
Radical Congress threatens to enact
the Infamous Civil Rights bill, shoru
Of the mixed school feature. 1t Is
worth while considering the remaining
features Of this measure. a. 1t lies to-
day on the Speakers table in the
House ready for passage. 1t enforces
social equality in all places Of
public entertainment and amusement
and on all public conveyances. The
white man, woman or girl, who travels.
loses thereby all right TO decline the
companionshp Of negroes without re-
gard TO filth or vu.garity. The bellies
attending the opera or theatre would
be iostled by the odoTous danes Of At
ricl. Any traveller might be dumped
into the same room, or even the same
bed, with burly negro. If he doesnot
ike it, he can sleep on the floor or the
porch, or walk to and fro to
give vent to bis rage at
institutions SO very free and easy. So
the young lady, travelling to school,
might be given choice Of sleeping with
a negro wench or not at ali.
Another feature of the pending bill
is the effect it would have on the con-
stitution Of juries. Under its provis-
ions, any negro or negroes offering to
serve, could, if not accepted, set up the
claim that they We're refused on ac-
count Of race and color, giving them
ground for action before a Federal
Court against the Sheriff. In this way,
al such officers throughout the South
might be bedeviled with suits until no
one could be induced to fill the posi-
ton. Goo mess know II IS difficult
enough now to get satisfactory juries,
Y ithout this fresh obstacle being placed
IL theway Of administering Justice.

CARRYING RETRENCHMENE TOO
FAR.

In noticing the suggestion made by
a correspondent of the UNION AND
AMERICAN that the offices of Tax Col
lectOr, County Treasurer and County
Trustee be abolished, the Memphis
Ledger says, with its usual good sense:
The Office of Trustee, considered by
many an unnecessary Office, Is estab-
hshed by a constitutional provision, and
its existence does not in the least de-
pend upon the Legislature Then the
proposition to abolish the Office of Tax
Collector is impracticable. If any reve-
nue. is to be collected, somebody has
the duty to perform, and it is certainly
as economical to have any one Collector
In a county as to make the Constableor
the Sheriff perform the duty. As to the
amount of pay received by clei 81, that
is an open question and one thai hould
be looked into. The fees are Uniform
throughout the State and clerks are
paid exactly according to the work
they do. In few COUNTIES, where the
duties are heavy and assistants can be
hired cheap, large salaries may be re-
allied. 1t has been proposed to limit
these to a certain net amount. This
might be done, but the constitution
atty of such an act would be brought
into question, as it would be in conflict
with the principle of uniform fees for
uniform work always recognized under
our system of laws. Still there is I'M
questionably a wide field for reform
and retrenchment, and it will devOlve
upon the Legislature to ascertain what
measures are practical and eonstitu-
tional, and to take positive steps in a
direction to favor the working, tax
paying people of the State. We are
glad to see these questions receiving
at the hands of the people,
and hope the discussion Will 60 on until
the facts are well presented and the
duty of the Legislature made So plain
chat moral courage viii not be wanting
at the proper time.

A FLORIDA planter is said to have
raised on fifty acres of land a crop of
sorghum which viii yield him five hun.
dred barrels Of strip. AT fifty cents
a gallon, which is a low figure, itwouId
give an aggregate of about $4,000 for
the crop, or about $500 per acre. This.
it is said, would be far more profitable
than the cultivation of cotton, and the
statement is very evidently well based
if it be true, as intimated that S75 is a
good price for bale of cotton, which
upon an average it takes four acres of
land to produce. ..

PARIS has successfully introduced the
American horse railway, or ''trdn," as it is
called there. The cars used are small,
having accommodation for only twenty
eight passengers, ten Of whom stand on
the platform. These latter, instead of being
charged full fare, as in this country, are
counted as second-clsss passengers and pay
a reduced fare. o..
