THE NetC York Sun fears that Sec
rotary Bristow's days are numbered.
He Develops propensity all his own to
interfere with the little family arrange
ments that ramify Grantism. He has
had the audacity to forbid Supervisors
and Collectors of Internal Revenue to-
employ their relations in sinecure
places at the expense of the Govern.
ment. This practice appears to have
been very common. One revenue Off
Ger had his wife's name on the payroll
at 500 month, and another paid SIS
a month to his daughter of eight years
old. All this is now to be stopped, un-
less the innovating Secretary is himself
estopped.

THE country papers of New York are
discussing the division Of that State
into two or more, after the manner in
which West Virginia was sliced from
the old Dominion. The metropolitan
Journals rather discourage the project.
saying the people of no State or pros.
vince were ever willing TO weaken them
selves by territorial division. Yet the
plain fact stands that New York with
its four and a half million Of popula.
ton has no more power in the United
States Senate than tine forty two thous-
ID Of that premature birth, Nevada.
In other words one man in Nevada is
equal to one hundred men in New York.
This disproportion can be remedied by
a subdivision of States more safely than
by changing the very nature and intent
of the Senate. by reducing it to an
Upper House of Representatives, based
on mere population, and driving the
States from their last stronghold.
Another item, to he considered as pop
ulation grows denser, is that smaller
State governments can be better
watched and guarded from corruption
by the people.

a NORTHERN man, who is travelling
through West Tennessee, was In Fay
cite county during the late election,
and writes to the Cincinnati CONNER
cidI of what he saw and heard. He
complains that many white men made
their negro employees vote as they
pleased!on pain of losing their situa-
tions. Whether true or not, that is just
what the manufacturers Of the North
do, and have been doing time out of
mind, with their white employees. But
our Northern censor has the candor to
say:
There is also some excuse for the
whites, for the negro is forcing himself
forward, and thus, instead Of trying to
wear out the prejudice of the whites, is
only aggrayating 1t. At Brownsville,
Haywood county, the negroes living in
the country have taken Saturday to
visit town, and l have seen them so
thick that the sidewalks were covered,
the stores were full, and a white lady
could not get along at all; the white
ladies are entirely crowded off the
street. In Jackson it is the same way.
The negroes don't get the correct idea
of the situation; they are arrogant, and
force themselves where they are not
wanted. Not "A week passes but hear
of something of the kind in the imme-
date vicinity.

JOHN A. LYMAN, the newly elected
colored Congressman from North Car
Dina, and the only member returned
by the Radicals in that State, is thirty
one years of age. He was a slave before
the war, and was sold at auction seven
times before he became Of age. He was
a member of the North Carolina Consti-
tutional Convention in 1867, and since
that time has been a member of the
State Senate. At the time of his prede-
C ssor. Charles X. Thomas election, in
1870. he was prominent candidate for
Congress, and when lac applied To
Thomas few months since for an APP
pointment as route agent in the post
Office department-a place worth 5000
per annum-the friends of the latter
urged him to comply with the request,
as he would thereby shelve dangerous
competitor. Thomas refused, however,
and Hyman declared that he would
obtain revenge by ousting Thomas
from his seat, and securing it for HIM
self. which threat he has now made
good. in North Carolina they say
that SCOT would make white mark on
Hypan's physiognomy.

CURIoUsLY enough quite number
of counties report q larger negro vote
for the Democratic ticket in the late
elections than ever before This Of
itself affords gratifying proof of the
temperate tone in which the whites
conducted the canvass. 1t was the in
cendiary demands of their own race
for Civil Rights" that drove the more
decent darkies to our ticket. The
MmJfreesbOrO Monitor claims that
nearly thousand blacks in Ruther-
ford county supported the Democratic
ticket. This is, perhaps, an exaggera-
ton. A change of FIVE hundred votes
from one side to the other would give
the increase of one thousand in the ma
jority cited 10y our cotemporary. Be-
sides, there were fewer white stay-at-
homes probably than usual. Still
several hundred remain Ia be accounted
for, and the darkies who voted against
the Civil Rights ticket deserve all
