The coming congressional election Is one
OF the most important since the war. The
presidential election may not be decided by
the people. and the House Of Representa-
tivcs will elect. At the present time the
Mirtu.eigM States are equally divided, and
it is matter CT greater interest than ever
to have the majority Of the States Demo-
cratic. 1t is possible that seyera! OF the
southern States may vote the Radical ticket,
especially where the Democrats are divided
end opposition candidates seeking seats in
Congress. Where it is possible The Radical
candidates will carry the day between the
Democratic candidates. it Is we'll for Coz
scrva,iyeS to see what might De the result.
Under the Radical rule the taxes have
been very heavy, and against the Presidents
ana Cabinets and United States Senate the
appropriations Of money have been cur.
tailed near one hundred millions in three
wears. Now, add to this urge amount the
savings effected in the southern States by
The control Of the Democrats, and we see
the good result OF party organization ana
OF party success. But only Il beginning
has been made. The success OF the party
is necessary to relieve the State OF Virginia
OF the tobacco tax. which is crushing out
both planter and manufacturer. Ii the
party divides. and the national party loses
by the divisions in Virginia, what becomes
Of tins tax? It remains the same, and the
Radical party will keep it to crush
out the manufacturing Interests or Son!h-
crn cities. The only possible hope for
The removal OF this tax IS Inc IN
divided support OF solid delegation.
Do the Grccnback candidates consider the
injury done to the party by disruption 10
advance their own interests? Do they look
TO the welfare OF the southern people in
trying 10 obtain seats in the House OF Re
representatives. just rs certain rs there IS a
chance for the nomination OF General Grant,
he might through the DISCRIMINATION OF The
Democratic patty again be the Radical prcsl-
dent, With him. IetUras again negro ana car.

with Federal bayonets to uphold Them. W ha'
h,s been in tie past may be again IL few
veors. and the cause Of this state OF affairs
will be in the rule or ruin party OF the
southern Independents.
Tie Democratic platform OF Thurman Is
onite generally sustained by The Democrats,
and even a portion Of the western kaoiceis
endorse the same principles; anQ, IL sus'

be voted down, or everything will be afioa,

We may vote any amount OF paper TO be :
legal tender, but just SO long as we buy
every imaginable want and luxury from the
| Northern States just so long will We bt
short in money matters. The article OF Mr.
1 Alexander Stewart, i'll the August Ptante'
/ and Farmer, on the finances OF the country
/ is = true exhibition of the whole matter, ant
i il the country is insane enough to unsettlt
! all values OF everything another crisis o
affairs will be the result. Ii any people
have suffered more than the southern
people from excessive paper in tin
