From the Logan County Sentinel (which IL hardly
cessary TO say, is DenOcrstieJ
A correspondent in Nelsonville, remarking in
an article of ours, some time ago, the inquiry as
to what the Democracy intended to do with the
niggers when they get the power TO do an thing,
asks MS to define our position in relation to that
question. The inquiry furnishes the excuse, if
anybody thinks We need any, for giving our
opinion.
BY law as it exists, whether rightly and wisely
or not is all one just now, the nigger is n citi-
zen, clothed with all the rights of q citizen, and
more than the white citizens share of privileges.
He is voter is eligible to ofce-any office from
constable to Presdent-serves jIries where
white men are parties, and governs millions of
whites, who can govern no niggers, nor even
themselves, the right of self government having
been taken from them. He sits in our councils,
he governs our white countrymen, who are voice
less in the matter; nullifies own best efforts
| at selfgOvernment when We are in numerical
| minority; he makes our votes to count for moth
ing exactly, and wiihstands and overbears half
! the white population of the State with word.
A pair of niger BARRIERS, OF bootblacks, from the
| State of Louisiana, in the Senate of the United
States, have power over the destini-s of the
country than all the white Democrats in u dozen

Al these facts nee recognize facts accomplished
for the present, but only for the present There is

neis will take to farming. Tho aericul.
tural districts of the country are the
greater of the two There are many
mines that will pay small wages for few
years at least. Ea -
r. Would the pursuit of agriculture
pay as we'll as the search for gold?
Mr.. R. I think more can be made bv
agriculture than by mining. Where =
miner could take $50, ,000tor 10000 out
of a certain quantity Of land, an apricul-
turist could make it pay at bigger interest
by farming it. To mine the land is to
ruin it for agricultural purposes. InCal.
ifornia there are far better and more ex-
ter tsnsise gold fields lying untouched.
There is, however, . great deal Of
tine gold sdisseminateas:o :over- the
Black Hills, but it requires a
deal OF labor to get it. In California we
have sierras over the whole of which,
owing to the regularity Of the grade,
water can be made to run readily. But
the cord'llcras Of the Black Hills offer al.
most insuperablc obstacles to the success
ful working Of the whole OF the aurifer-
Gus portion of the. country. In order to
explain what mean more fully, ! may
say that, if you take that newspaper,
crumple it up and threw it On the floor,
you have the formation of the Black
Hills. The grade is not regular, and you
cannot make water run up hill. There is
good deal Of land that can be made to
pay with the aid of machinery and mod.
ern improvements in experienced hands.
In this way good deal may be made,
but the class of miners that have been in
there lately will not find their operations
in the Black Hills very remunerative.
But mary of the miners who have been
prospecting the Black Hills were men of
experience from Montana and Colorado.
They might make money. Men not used
to mining would make more money by re.
naming in the city. My experience as a
miner has shown me that men will labor
more for one dollars worth of gold than
they will for ten dollars worth Of iron.
r. How much do you Judge man
can make per day by getting gold in the
Black Hills?
Mr.. R. Only an experienced man
could make five dollars day, and he
could only make that amount on the best
ground.
