Is RECONSTRUCTION A PAlhuRk,
Mississippi as an Example.

just before the election, the Jackson
correspondent of the CinciuuatS CON-
mcrcial wrote:
Is reconstruction a failure? It Is ces-
tainIy undergoing a fiery test Ii Ml0-
issippi. Even should the United Btatas
army he used to protect the negroes
would have to be brought forward. Tor
the same purpose every, election Here
after. The plain truth IL, the colorpxi
man is not able to stand. alone, The
government" like this. in Miasissippi,
controlled by him, Is but n housS. OF
cards, liable to tumble over In the aist
adverse wind unless propped nom the
outside. The breeze has come, and
over will go the concern next Tuesday
unless the General Government comes
to its support. And If 1t comea once II
must come again and again, as long, a.
Mississippi is II State and has = Inaiori-
ty Of colorcd voters. And it, makes no
difference how great that majority. A
negro government supported by one
hundred Thousand voters Of that clan
is just as weak rs one supported by ten
thousand. Adding to their numbers
does not add to their moral strength.
Either the thing must be allowed to
tumble now, or it can he propped up
few orc times and tumble hereafter.
Withdraw tho support Of the Federal
army aud down it comes, Obeying q
law that Is as natural AS the attraction
Of gravitation. a government cannot
be maintained in Il State against the
combined wealth, education and brains
of that State, unless it has active aud
continued support from the outside.
1t is but II question Of time when
every Southern State will pass into the
hands Of the whites. The question
that sould engage the patriots atten-
ton is not whether one or the other Of
the national parties is helped or hurt
by this, but whether tho people, white
or black, of such States, are better or
worse off. The object OF government IL
to bring the greatest good to the great
est number.

THE SUGAR CROP.
IN ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST.


Grinding has commenced In nearly
all the sugar plantations of our parish.
The yield is generally small, but the
sugar is of fine quality. The weather
is dry, but rather too warm. Light
frosts would mature the cane and
greatly enhance the sugar Interest,"
.M,schUcrbe.
IN ST. MARY.
So far as We have herd, most ofttose
who had commenced rolling last week
or before were not fully satisfied, with
the yield of sugar. The cane has hesn
more back ward in maturing than last
year, and most of that begun on was
too green to be taken as the crop. Even
under this disadvantages, we have
heard of several cases where the yield
was over one hogshead to the acre.
AS the weather has continued 70 very
favorable for maturing and riponinG Of
the cane, we are sure those who began
this week will have less grounds to com.
plain, and those who have been able to
postpone their rolling until next week
or later arc almost sure to have large
yicld.-.>,.g,r Boml.
IN 81. CHARLES.
All the planters in this parish. with
very few exceptions, have commenced
grinding cane, but the quantity Of
sugar to the juice varies SO much on
different places, that we arc not able to
form an idea of the average result.
There is some scarcity of hands for cane
cutting. The planters, their overseers
and representative, all over this parish
and many from st. John and st. James,
have been to Iinhnviiie and engaged ali
the colOrcd people, who have just I'm

Senator Gordon, OF Georgia, attri-
butes the Democratic reverses to the
fact that the currency issue diverted
public attention from the corruption
and naladministration OF the Fsepubli-
can party, especially in its Southern
policy. He said the Republicans
would be glad to fight the battle OF
of1S76 upon new issues, and 1t does not
matter with them much what these
new issues arc-whcther they be cur
rcncy, the acquisition OF Cuba or a
war with the Pope--anything rather
than their own record. The National
Democracy will make a serious mis-
take if they permit any OF these new
issues to be brought into tho Presiden-
tial CANVASS next year. 81 am" he
said, "satisfed, however, that after
the lesson of Tuesday the National
Democracy will not make the currency
question either paramount or pIoMi-
ncnt, and that both wings Of the DEM
ocratic party on the currency question
and the Liberal Republicans will unite
in rs in favor of the constitution, local
government, honest and economical
administration"

HOW Doctors Di6er.

A patient has dull heavy feeling about
the head, with dizzy, whirling sensation
when rising up suddenly, bad taste in the
mouth, with foul breath, a feeling like load
on the stomach after eating, with a taint,
all-gone sensation at the pit OF the stomach
that food will not satisfy, pains about the
side, back or shoulder, hands and feet some
times cold and clammy alternating with hot
Pushes, sour eructations from the stomach,
eyes tinged with yellow, blood thick and
stagnant, with costiye bowels, and all at
tepdant symptoms. One doctor examines
the case and calls it liver complaint, another
kidney disease, another dyspepsia, and still
another impurity Of the blood Now the
fact is all of these doctors are right and they
are all wrong, because such patients have
all of these diseases combined, and the
reason such diseases are not cured is because
the custom IS to treat one of the diseases at
time. While one is being cured the other
gets worse. We should treat the disease
with remedy that will act upon all at the
same time. The SHAKER EXTRACT OF RooTs

Mr.. w. r. BOYD, the signal observer
In charge of the Portland (Me.) station,
vas ordered last week by the chief signal
officer to make an inspection of the new
telegraph line from Warner, N. H., to the
summit of Mount kearsarge, and OF the
signal station on the mountain Mr.. K.
Whtford and guide accompanied Mr..
Boyd from Warner, and the ascent was
made during furious hurricane. On
reaching the summit, nine miles from
Warner the snow was four or five feet
deep in drifts, and the thermometer ten
degrees below zero. In making the de-
scent Mr. Whitford was plunged into .
snow drift, at the bottom of which was .
deep morass. Sinking through the crust
| Of snow his feet went deep into the mire,
and he was unable to release them. Mr..
Boyd, who was some yards in advance,
to release his companion, but without
| success. His feet were firmly imbedded
in the mire, which the extreme low tenn.
perature had turned to ice, and his situa-
lion was critical. The guide, who was
some distance ahead, missing his COM
panions, returned and very fortunately
had small Ratchet, with which Mr..
/ Whitford was chopped out, after terrible
suspense of half an hour. After being
relieved from his miry prison Mr.. Whit
ford was unable TO stand for some time,
and had to be carried part way down the
mountain. The party reached Warner at
6p. m. thoroughly exhausted, having
been six hours on the mountain. The
perils of mountain travel at this season OF
the year can only be realized by those
