stitute the elements OF manufactured arti-

character, more than others, being easily
and cheaply accessible, and the rich agri-
cultural region OF the immediate neighbor-

A Thtrd-Term Proposition
from the south.

Alexandria. Murray, of Georgia,
has issued pamphlet in which he
takes strong ground in favor OF
the shipment of the Southern ne
groes to Africa. He say that so
long rs the negroes remain ia the
South they will be a burden to the
country, and that the burden will
grow heavier every year as the old
oEes die out and the young ones
come to fill their places, since those
who have grown up since emanci-
patton are much more worthless
than those who learned to work as
slaves. He say they are totally
deficient in energy, foresight, econ
cmy and mental capacity; they
would starve to death II colonized

negro population, aud that, In al

they sink down into abject poverty
Murray proposes as a remedy that
the negroes be shipped to Africa,
where food can he obtained with
out labor, and where the climate
is so warm that they have no
need to buy clothes.
The author of this proposition
is a prominent Federal office-holder
and an ardent supporter Of Grant.
He cordially voted for Grant in
1865 and again in 1872, and has
no objection to third term for the
President. Grant, he says, can
depend on his support in 1876, IL
he will only adopt tho project of

EAST SAGINAW WATERLoGGED.-
The steam barge East Saginaw
which left this port last Tuesday
evening met with disaster before
morning. II appears that she run
through several fields Of ice on
her way down, and about eleven
o'clock Capt. Richardson determin-
ed to lay up till morning, when he
could the better see to work his
way through the floating ice. At
this time the hands and number of
our citizens who had taken pass
age on the boat, turned in to pass
the remainder of the night in sleep.
But about midnight the watch call
eel them up, saying the vessel was
leaking badly. The pumps were
nj once put in operation, and every
effort made to check the flow of
water, but without avail, and it was
then determined to reach Harris
vile if possible, and run the boat
on the sand. However, the fire
was put out before reaching that
port, and she run on the. reef at
Sturgeon Point, in eighteen feet
OF water. A wrecking ting was
Immediately sent for, and the Win ,

and commenced the work of raising .
the vessel. The East Saginaw is :
