er to bring to the notice of our read.
ers what many may not know and
others, knowing it, may not have re-
flected upon it, and that is the strength
of the South in the Lower House OF
Congress. There are from the South
1O6 members of the House, and OF
these the democrats have 81 and the
republicans IL. This is pretty near a
solid democratic South. -Four Of the
twelve republicans are from Missouri.
Last winter the democrats re-district-
ed the State, as they have done in
Ohio, and it is quite probable that un-
der this gerrymandering process, the
four republicans will be defeated.
Three republicans are from South Caro-
lima, two from Tennessee and one each
from Florida, North Carolina and
Virginia. The South Carolina repub-
licans are being weeded out by the
present House in contested cases, and
the country knows what shameful
record the democratic House has made
in contested cases this session. In
Florida the democracy do as they
please, and in South Carolina they de-
clare for white supremacy, and in the
coming Congressional elections it is
probable they will wipe out all replb-
lican representation. Finally it is
highly probable that in the next Con-
gress the South will be still more SOL
idly represented by democrats than
in the present House unless some
thing can be done for fair elections in
the bulldozed States. To this end in
the same line of policy the democrats
seek to leave at home any man who,
like Stephens, presumes to thwart the
revolutionary movement of the par
ty. In the present House there are
GA Northern democrats, and while
there seemed to be one or two that
were restless and wanted to bolt the
party caucus on the Potter resolution,
yet they all came in at the final mo-
ment; the roll-call found not one bold
enough to be independent. In eau
Gus these "a Southern members make
their demands and the GA yield. The
94-of whom some so bore arms
against the nation in the rebellion,
and the balance were active rebels
dictate to the GA and shape the demo-
cratic party at this hour. If the peo-
pie of this country are content to in
trust its welfare in such hands, then
shall the nations shame be complete
and revolution imminent.

LONDON, June 13.-Indications
point to an early termination of tbs
cotton strike.
A correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian says those persons who an
ticipate that Lord Beaconsfield is pre-
pairing q great surprise will not be
disappointed. The coup may bring
him much popularity, but 1t will bur-
den the country with great response

Asia Minor and the maintenance of
the freedom of Constantinople will
be undertaken by Great Britain
while European Turkey will be left to
the control of the States whose spe-
cial interests are there to satisfy Aus.

The question of indemnity will be
the chief difficulties of the Congress.
Other questions are already settled
in principle. Lord Beaconsfield's de-
mands will involve even more than
the foregoing outline, but they have
already received the support Of Ger
many and France, and to some extent,
of Austria and Italy.

WILLIAM CULLEN sRvAnT

AoAsS
Mr.. Coleman in the publication ofthe
New York ECening Post, and soon
thereafter obtained full control of that
journal, which he has retained down
to the present. He early evinced
poetical talent, and by his father was
induced to cultivate this bent of his
mind, to which he feelingly refers in
his beautiful hymn entitled death, /"
in the following lines:
For be u In his grave, who taught my youth
TIE art Of verse, and in the bud Of life
O4ered me to the muses..
In his 18th year he wrote his ''Than-
atopsis'' which remains to this day in
public estimation a poem of high
est merit. His mind was thoroughly
of literary cast, and all through an
active useful life he stood out without
q mark or blemish upon his character
as a man Of the highest type of purity,
He descends to the graveafter having
reared life column, running over
more than four score years Of faultless
integrity.
In poetry and prose he has written
q deathless monument that shall
never perish. There are many of his
poems that nothing in the English
language ever excelled. For over 9
quarter of century many Of them
have appeared in the public Schoo
Readers of the land, and millions o.
the men and women of this day re
member with delight the charming
elevating sentiment Of these poems
and the bewitehingly elegant and
touchingly beautiful language II
which thesesentiments are expressed
1t seems to us that it must be at thi,
time In the heart of the universal civ
ilized world (for his fame was co
pxtant with it) to say that great ant
good man has died.

DIsINGENUoUs and dishonest, de-
mocracy cry with one accord forgery
in the Louisiana returns for Hayes
and Wheeler. Now what are the
facts. Judge Levissee under oath
states that he did vote for Hayes and
Wheeler, and signed the returns.
These returns were thought defective
in form, and a few days thereafter
formal ones were drawn up and the
burden Of proof would seem to estab-
lish that Judge Levissee was absent,
and his presence unobtainable, and
that his name was signed by another
person. In counting the electoral
vote by the commission no objection
was made on account of informality of
the returns. Judge Levissee did ac-
tually vote, as he says, for Hayes and
Wheeler, though he was offered $780,
600 to not do SO. So tits plain beyond
all contradiction that the vote was
counted, as it was really cast, and
therefore forgery is an impossibility
in the matter. The genuine can in no
case be deemed a counterfeit or for
gerry.

cured control of the state, the blacks
desire to become Democrats. The
question is, shall they be admitted in
to the party? On one side there is the
danger that if admitted they will
overwhelm the whites and rule the
party by the sheer force of numbers;
on the other hand there is the danger
that If excluded they will compact
themselves into an opposition party
and secure possession of the state. In
Edgefield all the colored voters are ap-
plying for admission into the Demo-
cratic clubs, agreeing to pledge them
selves to support the candidates of the
party. But they outnumber the
whites, and, if admitted, would be
able to nominate the candidates to be
voted for, and elect them too. They
might want all the offices, or a major
ity of them themselves, and this
would be revival in another form of
the state of things which the whites
overthrew two years ago. 1t is said
that "negro rule is negro rule, wheth-
er it is dubbed Democratic or Repub-
lican," and the Spartanburg Spartan
says:
"It is clearly the policy and inten-
ton of the white Democracy to edu-
cate and elevate. aS well as exercise
the broadest charity towards their
dusky companions; but 1t Is feared the
Democratic party will be swamped by
this flood-title of colOred voters, who
may prove as dangerous inside of the
party as they are now outside of it.
If every one is allowed to join the
Democratic party and vote at its elec-
tions, then we have not only broken
down the race line in politics, but the
party line ALSO"
Another feature of the question is
the local ascendency involved. The
blacks preponderate in the low coun-
try or seaboard districts, and the
whites in the hill country; and the
latter apprehend that if the blacks be
allowed to come into the party with
full privileges, the up-country ascen-
dency will be destroyed and the policy
of the state controlled from the rice
plantations. The South Carolina
whites have shown themselves to be
men of great address and skill in the

POOR WHITES OF THESOUTH.
Their Peculiarities and Character

Their Pecullaritloo and Character
.istics interestingly sketched.
@. W. Smalley In Philadelphia Times. ? !,
To form any proper conception of
the condition of the poor white trash
one should see them as they are. It
is true that the war, emancipation
and the establishment Of free schools
have helped their condition some
what, but they yet retain many Of
those characteristics which distin-
guished them In slavery times The
poor white trash are about the only
paupers in the Southern States, and
they are very rarely supported by
either the State or community in
which they reside. They are found
nowhere but in the country, in hilly
and mountainous regions generally,
in communities by themselves, and
far removed from the more refined
settlements. Why it is they always
select the hilly and consequently un-
protective districts for their homes is
unknown. In the settlements where
in they chiefly reside the poor whites
rarely live more than . mile or two
apart. Each householder or head Of
family builds himself little hut of
round logs or pine poles, chinks the
spaces between these with clay mixed
with wheaton straw; builds at one
end q big wooden chimney with a ia
pering top, all the interstices being
"dobbed" as above, puts down pun
cheon floor, and loft of ordinary
boards overhead ; fills the inside Of
the rude dwelling with few rickety
chairs, a long bench, q dirty bed or
two, spinning-wheel (the loom, If
any, is outside under shed), . skill
let, an oven, a frying-pan, triangu-
lar cupboard in one corner, and .
rack over the door in which to hang
old "Spitfire," the family rifle; and
both the cabin and furniture are con-
sidered as complete. The happy own
er then "clears" some five acres or so
of land Immediately surrounding his
domicile, and these he pretends to
cultivate, planting only corn, pump
kins, and q little garden truck. He
next builds q rude kennel for his dog
or dogs, a primitive-looking stall for
his mag" ditto for Beck, his COW, and
pole hen house for his poultry.
This last he covers over with dirt and
weeds, and erects on one side of it .
long, slim pole, from the upper
branches of which dangle gourds for
the martins to build their nests in
