NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Senstor Burnside says
no party can have success which trifes with
the credit Of the country. The only silver
Legislation he is aware Of, is that bill will
trade dollars legal tenoer. The Republican
successes were due to hard money principles.
As to the state of Southern politics, be said
trust that they will right themselves in time,
bat If they do not it will be all the worse for
the South. Nearly every one knows that 1
wish no harm to the South, but the people
Of the North, intelligent Democrats az well as
Republicans, will not quietly submit to snch
actions as were practlced in South Carolina
and Louisiana in the late elections. If the
solid South continues in such course, it will
be politically swept from the face Of the earth.

Demerara Sugars.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 2O.-In the case of the
United States 712 bags of sugar, part of q
cargo of the brig Mississippi, seized for for
feiture in the trial of which was involved the
q iestion whether Demersra sugars imported
into toe United States were artifcially manu-
featured of dark color to evade the payment
Of duties. the jury after being out since
O'Clock Tuesday came into court this afternoon,
having agreed upon a verdict. The yellowing
instructions were given to the jury by Judge
Giles before they retired. There are two
issues which the jury are requested to pass
upon in this case: First, we're these sugars
artifcially colored dark brown color by some
foreign matter applied to them after their
specialization. and for the purpose of their be-
ing introduced into the United States at
lower rate Of duty than they otherwise would
be required to pay. Second, do the claimants
know this fact, and did they introduce them
into this port with fraudulent intent of i'm
porting them at lower rate of duty than they
should otherwise have paid.
The jury rendered this vervict: s'We find
upon the first issue decided for the United
States and the second for the defendant.
The trial of this case occupied over six
weeks, and the costs exceed $4,000.
