The Colored Population Of Louis.
lana.
From the Cincinnati Gazette.


The census Of 1870 showed S6,9la
colored voters, over q years OF age
and S7,076 whites. OF these there
Is, 1856 who were not citizens, nearly
ali of them being whites-Frenchmen
and others who declined to become
naturalized. The migration of the
colored people southwark is fact
universally known. Besides the ten.
dency of their nature, there was q ma.
tural tendency to leave the regions
where they were few, and congre.
gate where they were numerous
enough to have more hope of protect.
ing themselves and asserting their
political rights. The New Orleans
Picaynne recently stated that for "six
years there had been steady influl
of negroes, and as steady an elnigra-
ton Of white people to Texas and
other localities free from the curse OF
radicalism. Negroes haye been con.
verging upon Louisiana, and whites
have been radiating from it"
These well known facts were cor
roborated by the state census of 1875,
which showed a. colored population
exceeding the white by $4,000. The
democratic party universally recog-
nize that the coiorcd man, when free
to vote, votes the republican ticket.
They grant that however ignorant
they may be, they know their friends
from their oppressors. But they try
to support their brazcn assumption
that Louisiana is democratic by the
falsehood that the white population
is equal to the colOred. These figures
show the fact, and illustrate the hard
ihood of the assertion. The very
claim that a majority of the votes
cast, or returned as cast, were demo-
cratic, is a concession that the state
was ruled by terror and force, and
that no legal election whatever was
held there.

is supposed to be great lawyer. He
is also q leading democratic politician,
of the nation, and was the straight
democratic candidate for the presiden.

disposed to consider him a gentleman

their opinions after reading the fol-

Reid, of st. Louis, which we copy
from the New York Times:
FoRT WASHINGTON, N. Y, Nov. 20
Dear SIR: Gibbon says there is q

drunken democrat whom the repub-
licans dragged out of the Galena
gutter, besmeared with the blood OF
his countrymen slain in domestic
broil, and lifted to high pedestal as
the Moloch of their worship, rules
and until a great change shall take
place, must continue to rule-ovel
the PROSTATE ruins of Washington
Republic. That Republic persisted on
the day that Mcdowell moved on to
Richmond. Yours truly,

This advice, from one who has
made trade success, ought TO have
weighty influence on young men who
contemplate abandoning the farm for
a business life in town. 1t ought to
have much greater influence than sim
liar advice from one who had failed
of success from obvious reasons.
The old merchants conclusions are
corroboratcd by the experience of
thousands, and by facts obtained by
investigation. A recent statement in
an eastern paper says that out of ev--

sets, only IA were farmers, and OF

of all bankrnpts were farmers and
over 9S per cent. were traders. The
difference is largely increased when
the large excess of the farming pOpu-
lation over that of trade is considered.
Other considerations are rs weigh.

THE 22d RULE.

The democracy have relied much
upon the validity of the ed joint rule
of Congress in counting the electoral
vote for President. Sam Randall, the
democratic speaker, declared it still
in force, few days ago in one of his
rulings. 1t came up, however, in the
Senate, and Senator Ferry, president
Of the Senate, ruled that it was not in
force. His decision was appealed
from, and the Senate sustained him
by vote Of so to 4. Among the 80
voting, were nearly all the democrat
ic Senators present. The democrats
voting to sustain the ruling, were
Bayafd, Cockerill, Cooper, Dennis,
Eaton, Herman, McCreery, Mcdonald,
Price, Randolph and Wallace. The
democratic House will hardly make
any further fightto maintain this rule
in force, after SO decisive a vote
against it by democratic Senators.
This rule the democracy have relied
upon to give the democratic House
the authority to object to the counting
of the vote of State at the time the
House and Senate meet together to
witness the opening of the returns
and counting of the vote for Presi-
dent. This result in the Senate dis
poses of one serious question in the
supposed wrangle that may occur al
the time the votes are canvassed.

Sixteen Negroes Arrested for Mus
der and Conspiracy.
They.are Probably Lynched.

CHARLESTON, S. G., Dec. ll.-Six-
teen negroes have been arrested in
Abbeville. county, charged with the
murder of two white men, whom they
ambushed and shot near Lawndcs-
vile on Monday. Six of the negroes
have made confession duplicating
their fellow prisoners, and divulgin g
q plot for the murder Of the white
men ofthe village and the capture OF
the women. Twenty of them were i'm
the conspiracy. OF the 16 arrested Is
were started from Lawndcsville to
Anderson,thc intention being to send
them from Anderson to Abbcville by
railroad. This roundabout course
was adopted to avoid lynching by
men said to be on the direct road from
Lawndesville to Abbeville. The pris-
toner's started for Anderson on Satur-
day under strong guard.
Up to last evening nothing had
been heard from them. 1t is rnmorcd
that they have been intercepted and
lynched by party from Georgia, but
no confirmation of the report has
reached Charleston. Two of the
prisoners had been hurt when cap.
tured, and tho party may have
stopped on the road to ease tho
wounded, especially as the weather
has been so cold.
