Something for Tobacco Growers
to Read.

Mcfarland introduced a bill into
Congress to amend the Revenue laws
so as to allow producers of tobacco
to sell one hundred dollars worth
free of tax. Randolph, in his speech
at this place, called this class legis-
lation, unconstitutional, denounced
the bill and proclaimed himself
against it. Let the people by their
votes say whether they are for it or
against it.

How they Stand on the Revenue
Laws.

Mr.. Mcfarland favors the amend
ment of the tyrannical and oppres-
siye revenue laws SO that some Of
the burden they impose upon the
poor masses OF the people may be
lifted. Randolph endorses these
laws with all their odious features.
Which of the two will the people
endorse?

Signs of Better Times.

In such times as these through which
the country is passing, it is natural to
watch eagerly for any signs, however
small, of a change for the better, and
one of the surest indications of better
times, is the advance in the price of any
article for sale. At recent auction sale
in Asheville, N. c., Harris Great Relief
sold for 30 cents per bottle, and was TAX
en- eagerly. The regular price is only 20
cen4s. Showing that at least in that Sec
ton times are improving.

When we look at these figures. we
find that, of the States counted ali
the time. as reasonably certain for
Tilden-he may lose South Carolina,
Florida Louisiana and Connecticut,
aud still ne elected; or he may lose
Oregon, California, South Carolina
aud Louisiana, with the same result.
In short, an unbiased view of the
situation shows that it is not now
possible to elect Hayes.
Republicans as well as Democrats
sec that this is so. Many of the
more reliable Republican journals
now concede in effect. that unless
New York can be carried for Hayes
his defeat is certain. New York,
they say, is to be the battle-ground
at last. And what battle-ground /!
The State that two years ago gave
Samuel j. Tilden $4,000 majority
over General John A. Dix, is now
expected to give Hayes q majority
over this same Samuel J. Tilden
We have read of "forlorn hopes
but this is only the shadow of a
very .'forlorn hope;" the substance
having taken its everlasting fight on
the 10th day Of November, A. D.,
1876.
We have placed Ohio and Wis
consin as the only doubtful States.
We say here in ali candor. that we
expect, confidently, that both of
these States will go for Tilden. The
tide is running that way! Democ-
racy is flushed with victory, and Re-
publicanism chagrined with defeat
Ohio was saved to the Republicans
on the 10th only by most desperate
effort. The Republicans raked the
whole country, as with drag-net,
for orators to be used in Ohio and
Indiana. They fought with the des-
peration that only last ditchers"
can command. They knew they
must win both States or lose 81. !

WHERE RANDOLPH STOOD ON
THE COLORED QUESTION.
Something for CcIOred Men
to Read and Thinks about.

The amended Constitution
in February, 1865, forever
abolished slavery in the State
of tennessee. By that instru-
ment none of the rights of citi-
zenship were conferred upon
the colored race, and it remain
ed for the Legislature of the
State to fix their political stat
us. Mr.. Randolph, at present
a candidate for Congress, was
a member of that Legislature,
being a State Senator from the
counties of Greene, Cooke, Sc
vier and Blount.
The following extracts from
the Senate Journal of the first
session of 1865, are very inter
esting reading for colored men
who have any desire to know
who are, and who are not their
friends.
The Legislature met April
4, 1865, and early, very early
in the session, Mr.. Randolph
proceeded to remove all doubt
as to his sentiments on the sub
ject:
Senator Randolph Games II. Ran
dolph, ex-Judge and candidate for Con-
gress), introduced Senate Resolution No.
10.
ResOgred, That the election for Senators
to represent the people of the State of
Tennessee in the National Congress. be
postponed until the next regular session
of the Legislature of Tennessee, which
will occur on the first Monday OF Octo-
Der next.
ReSOlUed, further, That as a Legislative
body, we will support no man to the
high trust as Senator in our Federal
Congress who favors negro suffrage, or
who would favor their equality with the
white race, or advocate his being made
eoitHeSs against qe7tate man, or act as q jtt-
rOr an the trial Of causes, either caUI or Grim
