To-MoRRow, eight States OF the Union
will hold elections, generally, for State
officers. Pennsylvania viii elect only a
State Treasurer, and there IL scarcely
sufficient interest felt in the result to
draw y full vote. In the other States
there viii be quite afull vote polled.
Thecontest will beespecially sharpinthe
States of New York and Massachusetts.
Public interest will center i'm the former,
as that is now looked upon as the Presi-
Dental battle ground. The result Wild
pend largely on the extent OF the bolt
and the tenacity OF the boilers led by
JOIN KELLY. Ii it should prove true
that his supporters are disbanding and
will throw their strength to the regular
Democratic ticket, there is lair pros
pect of ROBINsoN's election. But II the
detection is as large as estimated by
KELLY's friends, ROBINSON will be de-
ieated. Only the vote will determine
the facts in the case. We shall at least
have enough political news from the
several contests to keep up likely in
terest through the week.

The coal famine is beginning to pinch
in other localities besides those border
ing on the Ohio river. In some parts OF
the interior Western cities and towns 1t
is causing great uneasiness among man
ufacturers and entailing heavy expenses
upon them. In some parts OF Illinois
Pittsburgh coal is selling at 80 cents per
bushel, and heavy iron manufacturers
are contemplating closing their estab-
lishments until the embargo is raised.
1t is falling heavily on manufacturers
who are now filling contracts at last
springs prices.

THE NEW YORK ELECTION.
Afraid of Kelly,

New York sun OF Yesterday.
IfMr. Cornell is elected Governor, the
responsibility will rest on John Kelly
and Tammany Hall. The Republicans
all proclaim now that the great i'm
pOrtance OF the election lies in the infiu-
ence il will exert on the Presidential
election next year. If Cornell becomes
Governor they feel morally certain oil
carving the State for the Republican
nominee for President in 1880. Now,
who is giving this vantage ground to the
Republicansl John Kelly and Tam
MANY Hall. With what consistency,
then, can John Kelly boast OF his Democ-
racv, and of the Democracy of Tammany
Hall? Is he Democrat who
slavs the Democratic party, who
strangles it both in the State and in the
Union? Every Democratic vote Tor
Governor withheld from the regular
nominee of the party and given to Mr..
John Kelly, the boiling candidate, will
count Tor Cornell. Every Democrat who
follows Mr.. Kelly's advice will help elect
the Republican candidate. We do not at
tempt 10 predict the result OF next
TUESDAYS election. While we lay be-
fore our readers all the means OF in
formation that are at our command, We
feel ourselves entirely unable TO deter.
mine with any confidence whether
Governor Robinson or Mr.. Cornell will
have the greater number OF votes. But
one thing is sure, and that is that
whether he succeeds in destroying the
Democracy or not, John Kelly as a
politician has hopelessly destroyed him

Buffalo Courier of Yesterday.

Buffalo Courier OF Yesterday.
All signs point TO the election OF Gov
eruOr Robinson. For the past three
DAYS the current has visibly set in that
direction. IL will be a victory won
chiefly by the quiet voter against odds
of ali sorts OF political rings, cliques,
combinations and sOreheads. The very
elements on which COnkling has count
ed confidently for his mans election will
work his defeat, through Republican
disgust. The Kelly cause is crumbling
in New York city, and outside will only
take votes which would have gone either
TO the greenback candidate or to Cornell
outright. In this city and west OF Lock
port the Democrats will lose no votes TO
speak Of, and promise to do better than
las, wear. Robinson will also get con-
siderable Independent Republican
vote. In both city and country the Re-
publican managers are fighting the
Presidential campaign, and with vigor.
The State is full OF their speakers, but
the voters remain apathetie, and many
will scratch Cornell or stay at home.
The prospect is that the Democratic
Greenbackcrs in Western New York
will largely lapse to the old party lines.
We are confident OF Robinson's election
bv twenty thousand majority.

 News is scarce down here; the yell low fever topic absorbs nearly all the conversation,
 Uncle Lige is still O. K. but says the weather last week was us hot as h-h-he ever saw.
 No deaths, no marriages, no yellow fever, and only two cases of chills since last report.
 Now is the time to put all the public roads in the county in good order for the fall and winter travel.
 Several genuine tramps passing last week and this; look out for somebody's store or saloon to be burglarized some night.
 The river rises inches one day, and falls about a inches next day, so that if it don't quit it we will have no river here in the way in sixty days more, The steam ferry boat Oasis has been put in good repair, and is now in splen- did running order, good as new, and will hereafter be found at the ferry ready to accommodate the travelling public.

with their waving grain; the Arkansas river rolling its blue and whispering waters down the lovely valley, around lowly cottages, sacred temples, and beautiful villages; the lightning leap- ing forth like fiery sword, and again sheathing itself in the angry cloud the silvery drops of rain falling below us in the neighboring vale; tho remote and eternal hills capped with their clouds of white, standing along their summit like beautiful temples for the saints of heaven;' and in the dim dis tsnce the mountains piled on noun taius to the skies," far above which mid tho glorious azure sheen, where ''angels walk white-handed in celes- tial light" old 'sSol' sat magestically upon his golden throne, and showered upon us the silvery spray of living light; all were objects of attraction. Although we could have forever gazed upon the scene before us, we had not the time just then; for kind friends, and croquet demanded our attention. Among the many friends whom we met were Prof. White and lady, MT. B. Gibson, Mrs. Perry, the lively croquet- ist and estimable lady, the Misses Jaco- way, of pardanelle, who charmed us with their vocal music, Miss Brou, of New Orleans, who by her pleasant con- versation added much to the enjoyment of the occasion, and Miss Jackson, whom we are sorry to say, we did not meet until late in the afternoon and had only time to bid her goodbye.
 After spending five long-to-be-re- membered and never-to-be-forgotten hours upon the pleasant Mt., we re- loaded our vehicles, and at half past four were 'homeward bound" The evening was delightful one for driv- ing; the clouds were our canopy, and the breezes famed our heads. Just at that hour when all nature was being hushed by the solemn gloom of night, while the skies yet blashed with de- parting light;' when the weary herds were seeking their quiet homes; the faithfulwatch-dog had taken his usual stand by the cottage door; and the sup per bells were chiming merrily in the dining halls, inviting the hungry to sigh no more, and bidding the weary be at rest, we arrived safe at home, feeling that we had spent a day which, although like all other days, must swiftly roll from the river of the pres ent to the ocean of the past, will be stored away in memory's temple, where its joys will forever eXhale sweet in- cense of love. l..

The Helena and Iron Mountain
 Railroad.

Col. George W. Hered, of Cincin- natl, who was formerly in charge of the business and lands of the Little Rock aud Fort Smith railroad out side the State of Arkansas, is in the city and stopping at tho Laclcde.
 Col. Hered is now assistent gener- al manager of the Helena and Iron Mountain railroad, now in process of building. The charter of the road runs from Helena, in Arkansas, to Commerce, in Missouri, about twcn- ty miles above Cairo, but it will probably make connection with the Iron Mountain road on the line be tween Missouri and Arkansas.
 The company have been making up land subsidy gotten from the states and other grants, amounting to one million five hundred thous- and acres, which, if sold at only one dollar per acre, would complete the road. A glance at the map will show the road to be one of the best feeders on the line of the Iron Noun tain road to the city of St. Louis. The road will follow the west side of the celebrated Crowey's ridge, one of the richest and most produc- tive regions in Arkansas. The set tlements along the line trayersed, produced last year I2,000 bales of cotton, which, when the road is com pleted, will all find it's way to the St. Louis market. 1t is well known that the cotton raised in the ncigh- borhood of Helena is of the finest grade, and has taken successive pre- miums at the St. Louis far. Col. Hered ayers that it will tap more cotton country than any road of equal lct h. Helena being also the head of navigation for seagoing vessels, it will let St. Louis out be low freezing point in tue winter, and low water in the summer season. The road will be I40 miles long, of which 42 miles is about ready for the iron, and they have commenced laying the iron from Helena this way. The road having Helena as the starting point this way has been talked of and been partially under way for several years, but tho meas ures now in progress are in the right hands and of such an energetic character as will secure it's comple- tion ID a very short time, so that what was within the memory of ma ny now living wild country over run by bears, will pour it's bales of cotton and bins of grain into the lap of St. Louis.

The Flrc-Earing Journal of the South Outdonc in the

While the amiable idiocy that pre- vailed in Congress during the recon. struction days was at it's height the nigger was cnfranehised.
 He was invested with the ballot on the pretty theory that he was | man and brother, with an infusion of sand in his makeup.
 It was given him on the school girl notion that affection for the par ty that give him his freedom would make him it's perpetual instrument.
 But the nigger is less seryiceable to the Republican party as a voter than he was as slave.
 He needs too much coddling--too much protection.
 He can only vote the Republican ticket when surrounded by cordon of Republican bayonets.
 There is no grit in him.
 There is more voting energy and party strength in n dozen raw Irish- men than in q thousand well fed niggers.
 There Is not an ounce Of StalWar tism in ton of ngger
 The more nigger the less strength.
 As slave, the picturesque misery of the nigger was an unfailing armory of party weapons--as freeman there is no romance in hin--coWar- dIce is now romantic,
 All over the South he is throwing his ballot for rebels and traitors, when lie votes at all.
 He is too cowardly to vote his con yictions, or too stupid to have con victions.
 When the Stalwarts get into pow CT in 1880, he must either be disfran- chased or compelled to vote righl
