orthern r. r.

in Texas, where it Is healthy, with excellent
irccstone water, 200 GOOD FARMERS to rent
lands upon the following conditions:
Where the landlord furnishes the lands and
improvements only, and the tenant the team,
tools and provisions, the landlord receives from
one-fourth to one-third of the crop and the ten
ant the remainder. Where the landlord fur
nishes everything necessary to the making OF
the crop, except the provision for the family OF
the tenant, the crop is usually divided equally
between the parties. The two systems OF leas-
ing offer industrious poor men, and especially
those with considerable families, golden OPP
pOrtuuities TO become Independent and the
owners OF the fine farms made the first step to-
wards success by renting land in the manner
described, and many of them purchased farms
with tho profits of n single wears lease 81
course it Is more profitable for q man to buy
land and improve and work his own farm, IL hc
has the means to do SO, but for those who are
destitute Of capital and possessed OF industry

NYHY LIT Is DONE.

The Bourbon element, in its endeavors to
make honest elections null and void and
mere farce, necessitated the framing of GER
tain laws for the protection Of honest ma
jorities. Sure the present laws are said to
be of their own framing; but this, though
at first apparently in their favor, does not
alter the statement of the case, for they
admit, through FERNANDO WooD and Others,
that they only were instrumental In passing
these laws for the reason that they regarded
them rs the lesser of two evils. Now, how
ever, they thiuk that they have become suf-
ficiently strong to cause the repeal even of
these mild laws that they were forced to
frame in the interest of honest elections. 1t
was not the result of any patriotism or love
of truth on their part that led them at first
to vote for these laws neither is it from
patriotic principles Or high regard for truth
that they now desire to repeal them
Their desire to repeal these laws at this
time is simply a two-fold political measure !;
first, it gives them an opportunity to talk
about patriotic principles" and "the polti-
zeal oppression" &c, under the rule of tho
Republican party; the second and by Far
the most important part of the programme
is not for effect at the South, where they
laugh at the idea of any such laws interfer-
ing with the vote Of the ''chivalry," but SIM
ply and solely that they may not have any
thing or at least so much to contend with in
New York city and Brooklyn. This metro
politan centre of the State of New York is
to be the great controlling centre in the
next election. Enough votes must be made
there at all hazards to overbalance the rest
of the State. The Democrats well know
that the State of New York is Republican
and that also in fair election, even New
York city would not poll so very large a
Democratic majority.
All obstacles that will at all interfere
with an abundance of cheating at the polls
by that large class of roughs which is the
pride Of the Democratic party in New York
city and Brooklyn must be reduced to the
minimum. In the last election these noble
very near being the balance of power that
would have put the Bourbon element once
more in possession of the Government that
it has done and will continue to do as
much as possible to destroy. So here is the
balance of power that all this Democratic
wisdom, oratory, moral and patriotic, talk
is all about. The sole and only aim of the
whole Of their tactics is the better how tC
enable them to secure the vote Of New York
city and Brooklyn as the balance of power
that will, if secured, give them in 1880 full
control of the three branches Of this Gov.
ernment. The Solid South is sure; il
would also make sure of the few
necessary votes at the North to con,
summate the victory, Every obstacle that
will at all interfere with this must at all
hazards be remOyed-hence the great effort

result of this inquiry into other peoples

DEMOCRATIC PoRTRAITURE.

tongue artist without peer. He recently
painted the likeness of the Democratic party
in the ears of his audience in speech at
Chicago during its municipal canvass, which
Is the most faithful and striking representa-
tion of the characteristics of that party
which we have ever seen. Every line is so
faithful and every feature is so clearly de-
fined that here in Washington, where we
now have the substance itself in constant
view, we are strongly impressed with the
representation as possessing remarkable
fidelity. Here is the thing in all its features
and deformities:

UNDER the outraged forms of perverted
law the Democratic majority in Congress
has succeeded in placing itself in revolu-
tionary attitude, from which there is no re-
treat save in the disgrace of defeat. If the
Democrats had attempted to repeal the cleo
tion laws with reasonable and peaceable
methods and failed they could have gone TO
the country upon the defensible proposition
that they were striving in constitutional
way to bring about certain alleged reforms
but they did not do this. On the contrary,
they backed up the attempt to obtain that
repeal by revolutionary threat to cut of
the supplies of the Government. This is in-
lefensible, and will add to the disgrace oi
their certain defeat.

The overtness of the Democratic rebel
lion in 1861 was demonstrated in the
straightforward and more manly attempt
then made to defy its authority upon the
battlefield, and 10 overthrow it by open
and undisguised war. The covert Demo-
cratic rebellion of to-day is thinly disguised
by threat under the perversion of law to
cut of all appropriations for the support of
the Executive. This is the only difference
between the Democracy of 1861 and the
same party in 1879.

THE COLORED EXODUS WESTWARD.

count Of another batch of $50 colored emil
grants who have reached that city en- route
for Kansas by river. 1t says "As a rule

will be able to take passage to Kansas
"City without financial aid. They report
that thousands Of their late neighbors are
preparing TO follow them, and 1t looks rs
If the exodus has only just begun. The loss
" of so many laborers at this season of the
year must work great injury to the cotton
interest in Mississippi and Louisiana. as
planting time is at hand" The Globe
Democrat suggests that the Southern people
should take immediate steps to reconcile
their existing differences with the negroes.
They can do this IL they are willing to be
fair and reasonable. They must give the
colored man q chance to save something
from his earnings and they must restore his
political rights. The shotgun must be laid
aside for good. We have no doubt that If they
are given fair play the colored people will
do better in the South than in Kansas, or
any other Western State, and it certainly is
to the advantage of the whites to keep
them. But it cannot be done by force or
fraud
