The SuBURBs.--Ihc past five or six years has
witnessed IL number of Improvements in the
suburbs north of Vancouver. Mr. Browns
NURSERY, one Of the finest Improvements in
Clarke county, has been greatly enlarged dun
ing that time. The ground is in an excellent
state of cultivation and the young trees look
thrifty and we'll The older trees bore most
bo,nlifully thi, year and the fruit commanded
the highest price il the Portland market. a.
j .jolinson's fruit trees have grown to remark
able dimensions. He has only the best varieties
and by industry and attention he makes the bus
incss profitable. Ia, Italian rrune trees are
beautiful to see. The limbs have, hidden bc
meath the leaves, all the purple fruit they can
possibly hold. Mr.. Moorc's fruit trees have al
so grown very rapidly, and his garden this year
was as well cared for and as fine us usual The
large tcn-acrc field OF NJ. Winters, northwest
of J. NJ. Fletchcrs place, bore good crop of
wheat. 1t was mostly cleared of last year and
fenced. We remember well, only few years
ago, when it was a woody waste OF stumps and
logs. Arthur Hidden's claim, just north of this
field, has had some substantial improvement
this year in the way of grubbng and clearing
np Mr.. Fletcher has added several lots to his
possessions in this ncighborhood and built II
very neat fence in front OF his property.

COURSES, like chickens, often come
home to roost." The New York Tribune
lately had long article on the "colored
VOTE" and said, Increased power was
given the Southern States in considera-
ton of the supposed freedom of colored
voters" OF course the object was really
to give the Republicans more power. But
strange to tell, without the thirteen addi-
tional electoral votes which have been
given through negro suffrage, Mr.. Tilden
could not be elected. The Tribune can
didly admits the party forfeited public
respect and confidence by Keeping knaveS
in poDer and By defending Infamous crimes.
The Tribune says; Returning boards
clothed with unlimited power, and Leg
islatures organized by soldiers are not
agreeable to Northern ideas of selfgov-
ernment. But wherever colored suf.
frage has not been intrenched behind
such defences it has completely failed,
either for self-protection or for defense
of the national welfare. That is, the
radical party have not been able to use
the negro vote except through force and
fraud, The Tribune sees and admits the
fact IN lamentable manner.

"BLooD LETTING" Zach. Chandler, with
Grant ard the other "bull-dozers," imag-
inc they can get Hayes in President by
force and fraud. They have done well
so far, by the aid of the sCoundrels Wells
and his negro colleagues. But they are
not through-and we suggestto the faith
full hereabouts the propriety of holding
back their cannon and other noise till
"they are out of the woods" The Amer
ican People hundred years ago had a
little difficulty with ofice-holders who
claimed the right to hold onto continue
themselves in power regardless of the
expressed will of the People. But they
had to give it up. These officials now
had better take warning in time.

IT was modest in the Republican lead
ers to claim Southern States enough to
just elect Hayes. Of course, one major
ity is as good as ten or more, and they
thought with the stealing Of South Caro-
lima, Florida and Louisiana they had it.
But how man is doomed to disappoint-
mentI For, 10 and behold, from Oregon
came the terrible news that Tilden had
one Elector there, which gives him the
majority, and leaves Hayes one short !
This fatal disappointment makes the Of
fceholders savage. They are resolved to
"count Hayes in anyhow" Their cry is,
victory or death. Jndging by the express
sion of the People at the election, 1t is
dedth-pOsticdI death.

The American people in l776 declared
to the World against George III, as fol-
lows,
HE has erected a multitude of new
offices, and sent hither swarms of officers
to harass our people, and eat out their
substance"
"He has kept among us, in times Of
peace, standing armies, without the con.
sent Of our legislatures"
"He has affected to render the military
Independent of, and superior to, the civil
power"
We have Ulysses 1 and 1875 now. From
all accounts, George III, as man, was
correct in his habits, and elevated in his
morals. In his coruse towards America
he was controlled by Parliament and his
Ministers. 1t must be admitted, too, that
he was not surrounded by such "dozers"
as Chandler, Morton, Babcook, & Co.

A REPUBLICAN friend admitted it was
hard work to count in man for Presi-

us that none but such men as Zach

Carpet Bag crew would attempt so diff

ing some rather strange developments.
The Election Commissioner of Greenville
county testified to having delivered to the
Secretary of State returns from all the
precincts of the county; but the Secre-
tary can give no account of two of the
precincts, 1t is significant tnat both
these precincts gave large Democratic
majorities, and more significant that
nearly every negro who should have vot'
ed at them voted elsewhere-principally
at the County Court House. The fact
was noted at the time, but not under
stood until now.

however, the People vote out of power a

the application. The question now is
will this office.holders' rebellion take
