"The Island of Barbados is one OF the eldest
of the colonial possessions OF the Crown, and
has always prided itself on its loyalty to the
sovereign and its ardent attachment to its form
of self-government based on free and represen-
tative Institutions. The House of Assembly
are deeply sensible of the obligation which
rests upon them, to receive with due submis-
sion every recommendation emanatiug from
the Imperial Government, and to give it the
fullest, the most anxious, and the most loyal
consideration, claiming however, at the same
time, the constitutional right inherent in them
and all along enjoyed by them and admitted
to be theirs, to determine for themselves in
good faith what measures, in harmony with
the spirit and genius of the constitution, are
suitable to the local wants and within the
fiscal ability of the people of this Colony.
Your Exoellency has referred to the sacrifices
made by the British Government aud people
in carrying out in the West Indies the great
and beneioent policy Of Emancipation. The
House OF Assembly, speaking IN Denalf OF the
people whose opinions and interests they re-
present, are deeply sensible Of these Sacrifices
and are very happy to be able to look back
at the loyal manner 10 which the Island Legls'

The more one thinks of a line of railway
from Kingston to Montego Bay, right through
the island of Jamaica, and therefore through
as productive and beautiful q country as could
be found in any part Of the world, the more
one is taken with the idea. The development
of such a country by railways would be simply
marvellous. The interior would be opened to
the crowds of visitors who would come In
search of health. The fruit and garden produce
would be utilised. for it would find its way
to market. Abandoned sugar estates in the
route would be brought into cultivation new
industries for the population would be opened;
the problem of Jamaica would be solved.
And yet the Government, while spending
thousands of pounds upon unproductive works,
refuses, it is said, to consider the project of
a railway, which is by far the most needed
work of all. Why, even a casual visitor like the
Quarterly Reviewer saw this truth, and ad-
vocated railways as among the necessities Of
the island. Jamaica is passing through a time
of wasted opportunities which will be a source
of bitter regret hereafter. q

This time the trouble is at Friars Point

Brown, colored. is a candidate for Sher.

Alcorn abused Brown in unmeasured
terms. Brown asked the privilege Of de-
lending himself against the charges Of
the Senator, but it was refused "bccause
it might provoke an outbreak" Brown,
unwilling to leave matters thus, called a
meeting before which he proposed to de-
fend himself But the Democrats
claimed that this meeting might provoke
an outbreak, so organized themselves to
prevent by force the holding OF the meet.
ing. Another report is to the effect that
the disturbance originated from Browns
making incendiary speeches to the ne
groes and organizing them into armed
bodies. Up till the 9th inst. there had
been no serious trouble; the negroes had
been dispersed time or two and some
of them had been killed. In the mean
time the cost is great to the people of the
State, as the gathering of cotton has
ceased and every day counts.

JET Davis.

Mr.. Jefferson Davis, after his extended
tour through the Northwest, has returned
to Memphis, and his local papers speak
of his tour as an ovation of fraternal feel.
ing, and feel assured that "the expires.
sion of friendship toward the Southern
people through Mr.. DAVIS was no milk
and water demonstration, but a sponta-
neous expression from all, without regard
to party or creed" Mr.. Davis, having
thus assured himself that the people Of
the North and Northwest entertain no
animosity toward the people of the South
but, having forgot the past, are ready to
unite with them in developing the Mis-
sissippi valley, has duty to perform in
the South which no man can do so we'll
as he.
No matter who denies it, the white
people of some of the Southern states.
notably Mr.. Davis old state Of Mississip-
pi, have made semi-military organize
tiOns for the purpose of overawing the
members of the political party which
they oppose, and they have resorted to
murder, assassination and general rioting
to accomplish their ends. Solong as this
condition of things exists in any of the
Southern Mississippi valley states. Mr..
Davis idea of general cooperation can
not be carried into effect. The people
who maintain these semi-rebelliOus. semi-
military organizations we're his friends
and followers in the late war; he has
more influence with them to-day than
any other living man, and one word
from him would restore peace and order
and perfect and continued submission OF,
their part. Let Mr.. Davis speak that
word.-Kdnsas City journal Of Commerce.

There is nothing Eastern politicians so
little understand, and SO little realize, as
the way this new Democratic departure
takes with Western Democrats. Old

vert at a camp meeting. The Democracy
proper of Ohio never was more united on
any subject than on this paper money
imitation. Cleveland Herald (LnJaation.)
The result in Ohio will make little
difference with the currency question of
next year. Defeat of the Democrats
will be laid to the exposure of the Pope's
toe, and that, to be sure, will put the
Ohio inflationists on the defensive in
their own party, while should the Dem.
ocrats be victorious in the campaign,

PEOPLE who feel any interest in the
Black Hills country and had hope that
the Government would secure a title to
it from the Indians, through the Commits
sioDers lately sent among them for that
purpose, are disappointed. The Indians
asked absurd prices and made unreasona-
BILE demands as condition of their sur
rendering their title, and the Commits
sioners finding themselves unable to do
anything with them have returnedto their
homes. The number of adventurous
spirits who have desire to search for
the precious metal said to be in that
country is probably large enough to
effect an entrance; and in case they do so
a war between them and the Indians is
inevitable; and in time the United States
army will have to interfere when the In
dams will be overcome and driven from
the supposed gold fields. At least such
are the present indications. As the In
dams have refused all offers for their IL
tle-while in reality they have nome
they have forfeited public sympathy ard
probably deserve the consequences that
may follow. That it will be unprnnta-
BILE to the great mass of gold hunters who
rush off to that country there is scarcely
room for doubt. but that they will go
in large numbers there is not doubt.

LEADING Democratic papers in New
York cali upon the people of Ohio to de-
feat Allen. and Allen declars that the
safety of the country lies in the defeat
of Tilden in New York. In speaking of
the Democratic leaders in Ohio the New
York World says:
"But the corruptionists of the Demo-
cratic party have usurped its leadership
for the last time. The McLeans, the
Voorhees, and the Vallandinghams who
blighted the promising career of Pendle-
ton, who slaughtered Hendricks when
his time was ripe, and who now have
poisoned cup for Thurman's drinking,
may conduct themselves to perdition by
whatever road they please; the Demo
cratic party will neither follow them nor
yield to them, nor sacrifice one syllable of
the Democratic doctrine and principle
which they have betrayed and forsworn."

OUR:TlCKET.,

The Republican convention which me-
1t the court house in this city last Mon
day did its work we'll. We don't believe
that there,was ever convention held in
the county where the delegates showed
such a determination to select as stand
ard bearers, men who were not only tried
and true Republicans, but who were ca
pable and honest sand whose interests
were identified with those of the people
There were no buncombe speeches from
the delegates, but they quietly, and in a
business manner, proeeeded;to discharge
the duties imposed upon them by the
party. The ticket nominated is On ex.
cellent one, the..men beingi we'll quail.
fled to discharge the duties of the:offices
for which they were pat in nomination,
and if elected-which is an assured fact
they will :prove their fitness and up
rightness, will discharge their duties in
manner satisfactory to the people, and
reflect credit upon their party.
Republicans, the work of your dele
gates in convention is submitted to you
for approval at the polls. Will you en-
dorse their labors and elect the ticket N
nominated? We believe you will. The
delegates from the different townships
reported that Republican who last year
voted against the nominees Of the party,
under the impression that the opposition
were really reformers, have returned and
signified their intention in the future to
act with the Republican party; which is
the only party in the country that has
the desire for or the power to inaugurate
reforms. They have beeanie convinced
that the so-called reform movement is
merely a side-show to the Democratic
party, and as the history of that party is
just the reverse of reform they have no
desire to see it restored to power.
In the approaching Presidential CAM
paign the contest will be between Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, and this fact is
being realized by Republicans in this
county, hence their determination to
strengthen and perfect their organiza-
ton by acting in unison and harmony.
Every man who endorses the liberal ideas
and humane doctrines of the Republican
party should remember that every victo-
ry gained by the opposition, ho matter
how trivial or under what name, is
trumpeted throughout the country as a
Democratic victory. For the advantage
of ths Republican party, and also because
our ticket is worthy of your support, we
hope every Republican in the county
will 60 to the polls, on the End of No
vember next, and work and vote for the
straight Republican ticket. That Dem
ocrats will find fault with our ticket is
to be expectation fault-fnding has
been their principal stock in trade for
years past; but Republicans. before they
scratch a name from the ticket, should
be sure that there is something wrong
with the candidate. Let the Republi-
cans of Allen county elect their ticket
by large majority and enter their pro-
test against the restoration to power of
tie Democratic party.
