1t seems that our county Is beginning to
realize the beneficial effects of literary societies
This is well, for when the minds of the people
become interested in literary topics and enter
tainments, we may look for better provision
for our schools and also an increased NJ enhance
at our churches. We are not behind our neigh.
bors in organizing literary associations. for we
have now Two in successful operation. The first
was organized at Perrymansvilea year ago, and
is called the Union Literary Association. ~
On last Friday evening very large audience
was present, who were entertained by an anus.
ing lecture, on the subject "Stores," by Jacob
d Michael, Esq of Baltimore. Next week
Dr. j. E. Michael will lecture on "Combustioo,"
using instruments from the University of Mary
land TO illustrate his subject.
The other society meets at Aberdeen, and Is
known as the "Scott Literary Association of
Aberdeen" Although it has been only few
weeks since this society was organized, its sue.
cess is remarkable 1t meets every Tuesday
evening, and each meeting witnesses increased
attendance The society has the promise of

NEGRO SUFFRAGE.-The late election
showed that the negro vote of the Southern
States can no longer be regarded as the ex-
elusive properly of the Republican party,
acquired by comforting freedom upon the
Save. The colored race in the South, under
Radical tuition, are rapidly leaning to 10 TX
to their own interests, and they have discov
cred that they can lest promote their
welfare by uniting their political fortunes
former masters. The Southern Republicans
realize the change, and seeing they can no
longer control the votes Of the colored peo-
pie, ure now disposed TO advocate the aboli
ton of negro suffrage. The New York SIN
points cut the fact that the Republican, the
leading Republican newspaper OF Louisiana,
states distinctly that when the Republicans
can TO longer direct the c0l0rcd vote, the
race should be deprived of suffrage The en-
franchisement Of the negro has given the
South political importance, which is only
beginning to be realized as the interference
of the Federal government is Withdrawn.
AS that power is more clearly felt, the Re-
publicans will seek 10 undo aportion of their
work of the last few years, and we may there
fore look, before long, for an assault upon
negro suffrage by the Republican patty them
selves.
