THE COLORED VOTE.

From a gentleman who has been
for some weeks in Florida and
southern Georgia, we recrive a re
port which correspond with our own
actual observation in this commu
nifty, viz: That large numbers of
the shrewder and more sensible he
groes are declaring for Tilden and
reform. This fact sounds singular,
and TO many Will need the strongest
confirmation to be believed but we
are satisfied that it is true, and will
be found a growing sentiment. The
cause for this unexpected action is
found, first, in the ignorance of the
negro as to who Hayes is, aud what
he personally represents. That he
politically represents Radicalism
does not satisfy them. This las,
is another reason for the change
to which We allude. The negro is
tired of the Radicalism that deluded
him with false hopes, sasldled him
with partisan burdens, and finally
him, through the Freed
mans Saving Bank swindle, of all
his hard-earned surplus. These
things arc vivid sorrows to the
best part OF the negro element, and
they tho want ''retorIn" as the only
salvation from further wrongs and
depreciation.
