THE Chicago Tribune arraigns the State of
Mississippi under the following succinct but
forcible indictment:
Having deprived the negro of all the civil
rights guaranteed him by the Constitutional
amendments; having taken away his vote
and barred him from obtaining justice ia the
courts; having robbed him in his labor con-
tracts and reduced him to II state of abject sub
mission by the liberal use of tine shotgun-the
State of Mississippi has still further progressed
in its infamous work by the passage of an act,
ostensibly to reduce the judiciary expenses,
which provides for the sale of petty criminals,
and establishes u contract system which re-
stores the worst evils of Slavery. Under this
act it is provided that all persons convicted
aud committed to Jail except those sentenced
to the Penitentiary, all persons who are COM
mitted to Jail to await trial. and all who are
convicted of a misdemeanor, by any court or
justice of the peace, shall be delivered to con-
tractor (provdcd for in the first section) and
worked under the provisions of the law and
that when mo one will contract for the
prisoners In any county, the Board Of Super
visors of such county may contract for the
work of their prisoners with the contractor of
any adjoining county, according TO the pro-
visions of this act, for contracts for prisoners
within the county"
Now we suppose some purblind Demo-
cratic organ will ask, What is the South
to do that it has not done, and what shall it
leave undone that it has done? ?" and the
above will furnish ready answer.

THE Democratic scheme to secure peace
and quiet during Presidential elections in
Louisiana is to take the right of choosing
electors away from the people and vest it

simple but it is one that has been repu-
dated as un-Democratic by every Demo-
cratic authority since the war The aristo-
Gratis of South Carolina practiced it before

The great trouble in the South is that the
alleged respectability of that section en-
couraged for a time and for purpose the
murderous operations Of the violent classes
during the overthrow of Legitimate Repub-
lican government and the establishment of
bogus Home Rule. Having elevated these
assassins into important political factors,
they are unable now that their revolution
airy work is done, TO reduce them to peac-
able subjection again. The consequence is
that the "brains and respectability "-save

NAILS IN WHEELING.

The nail manufacturers Of Wheeling
advanced the card rate, yesterday, from
SEQ to y IS per key taking lO-pennies
As the basis. At Pittsburgh the price was
advanced to s. last Saturday. Wheth-
er this difference will be maintained
long will PROBABLY be decided to-day,
after the members Of the Western Assoc
citation, at its meeting, shall have had
opportunity to compare views. 1t looks
now as if the difference would be wiped
out by an advance.
Mr.. :. III. WOODWARD, who has re-
turned from his summer sOjourn IN the
East, said, yesterday, that at the pres
ent price there is no great profit in the
manufacture OF nails; because, as the
price of nails crawls up the cost OF max
ing them also quietly crawls up. Con-
sidering that the nail manufacturer has
TO depend upon the tender mercies oil
Connellsville for his coke, Lake super
Tor for his ore, the Great Amalgamated
Association for his labor, and the pros
perity OF the farmer for his market,
Mr.. WOODWARD thinks there are enough
ofthe elements OF uncertainty in the bus
mess to justify a desire for a little mar
gin of profit. He says that Wheeling is
as iavorably situated as any manuiac-
turing city in the country, and he be-
lieves that she is entering upon career
of prosperity probably more solid and
lasting than anything she has heretofore
experienced.

INVESTIGATING AMERICAN HUs-
BANDRY.

The ubiquitous interviewer has not
allowed the Royal Commission who
have come to this country to see what
We know about farming, to escape. A,
World reporter caught them before
they had quite landed at New York and
drew from them much that is interest
ing concerning their visit
Tbesub-commission consists Of Messrs.
ALBERT PEEL and CLARE SEwELL READ.
The former is described as typical
Englishman out and out, bluff and
hearty in his manner, with a ruddy face
and general good nature, telling OF ex-
cellent health. Mr.. READ is represented
as having a studious and scholarly APP
pearance, as of one accustomed to city
rather than a country life. Both OF
them come fully prepared by their per-
sonal experience to note for themselves
the difference between American and
English farming.
They had not determined at the time
of their arrival what sections OF the
country they will visit. They will stay
about three months on this trip, but will
return again next spring when the crops
are going in and take view of them.
They bring with them, judging from
their conversation with the reporter,
very hattering notions OF our agrlcul-
tural interests. "You fill us in one way
while YOU deplete us in another, they
said. "You nourish our bodies while
YOU ilnpoverish our pockets, and We
wish to become acquainted with the
course of your American husbandry,
with the wonderful results OF which we
are becoming familiar in Great Britain"
They are, therefore, going very minute
lv into our agricultural system. They
will visit the farmers on their farms, see
how they prepare the soil, what yields
they get, how they ship and where they
ship to, and, in fact, they want to be
able to trace bushel of seed-corn from
the farmers hands to the time it reaches
English mouths.
In reply % an inquiry as to the con-
dition OF the agricultural interests Of
great Britain, Mr.. PEEL said, ''The con-
ditiOn Of things is really very serious,
but | think it is beginning TO improve.
Business here is looking up, and We
shall not be long after you IN
having better business in every way,
The relations of the two countries are
such that one cannot well be prosperous
while the other is suffering from re-
verses, or rice rerSa."
AS vet, they report, no means Of over
coming the agricultural depression has
been suggested. On being asked whether
they regarded the principle OF small
holdings feasible cure OF the troubles,
Mr.. PEEL replied that he did not see,
il he could raise 100 head OF oxen on
100 acres enclosed with one fence and
under one management, how, if there
are to be instead 100 single acre lots
each with an OK on it, there is to be any
economy or benefit. They do not
think the laws relating to land tenure
responsible for the troubles.
They think it may be two years be-
fore the commission is ready to report,
and they predict that the report will
be of as much benefit to Americans in
its statement of facts and drawing OF
conclusions, as to Great Britain.

THE attempt OF BLAINE q Co. to make
much of the result OF the election in

after chipmuck. ado you think you

the chase. "Catch ito" replied the boy,
'Im bound to catch it-we're out o

glory to be gotten out of the Maine
campaign for the Republicans. They
had held the State for twenty-five years.

hard chase, and that is about the size Of

SINCE the election of Dr.. BLACKBURN
10 the Office of Governor OF Kentucky,
the Republican press has almost aban-
doned the idea of electing JTF DAVIS
to the Senate and have turned their at
tention to making capital out OF one
who Just been inaugurated as chief
magistrate OF Kentucky. at Is hard to
saw, "as suggested by a Republican
paper of Boston, the Herald, what they
expect 10 gain by such course, for now
that the man has been selected and
sworn in, the public mind is very apt
TO grow Indifferent and to cease to care
whether his record is good or bad" But
adds the Herald-and it is creditable to
its fairness to say-"this much can be
said OF BLACKBURN, that he is likely to
be a better governor than many less
wicked men might be. No one
has ever accused him of robbing the
stockholders OF railroad, or defrauding
the government, a charge that has been
brought home to other office holders"

as a Republican victory in Maine, the
