point even the most faithful of his

motto is: easy come easy co. and
Tor the vast some Of money stolen
from the taxpayers there is little to
show. Few are well TO do, pecu>

gains have been squandered dissipa-

their strikers in an out of office.
Notwithstanding their chances, the
majority Of the Mississippi carpet

lost Alabama, Arkansas North Car.

The RADICAL VoTg IN MlssIssI.
PPI-By the census Of 1870 .Hississ-
ippi is credited with a total popula-
lion OF 827 ,922. Of whom 382,S96
were white, and 444,20l were ne
groes, a colored preponderance OF
6l,305. In 1873, at the election OF
Governor, the total vote Of the State
was 1921, or nearly tgo-thirteen-
the of the total population. The
vote was then unusually full; in fact
it was quite well known that a
great many more colored voters
were polled than there were colored
voters in the State. The Republi.
can claims 10000 Radical majority
in Mississippi, but whence it a
come, is not easy TO be seen.
On the assumption that all the
negroes are Radical and all the
whites anti-Radicals, las they are
with very lew exceptions-not 400
in the State there would be a major
lty OF negroes about proportional
to the excess Of the coIored poDula-
ton, this being as above stated, 6l-
3O5; which would give at the rate of
two voters in thirteen inhabitance
about $4,000 negro voters. The ne
groes are not all necessarily Radi-
cal. A goodly number of them have
discovered that their party manager
have fooled and cheated them. The
day is past when vagabond whites
can hold all the Offices and make
the negroes do all the voting.

departure from home, on the 27th of last February,
very little has been heard or known concerning
