The result of the business of Mo-
bile for the year ending September
80, 1878, shows gratifying, in

surroundings. The receipts OF
cotton were larger than during

of exports aggregated over $19,-
900, 000, an increase of more than
$4,000, 900, while the imports ran
up from $64S, -404 to $1,14S,442.
The value of the lumber exports
increased $50, 900, and the impor

S>The committee appointed by the
United States Senate, to investigate the
alleged election frauds in Louisiana, I'M
der the provisions of Blaine's resolution,
and which is composed of q controlling
majority of "stalwarts," have been at
work for several days in New Orleans.
Mr.. Teller, the chairman of this body, al
though but notice in the art of conduct
ing the favorite dernier resort of the I'M
scrupulous organic alton to which he
claims allegiance, has proven himself
all apt scholar in mastering the role al
loted him by his more experienced coun-
cilor, John Sherman, the old reprobate
who gave himself such prominence by
his devotion and gallantry to the fasci-
mating octaroon bellies of the Crescent
City in 1867. With the aid Of that IN
principled renegade, United States Dis
trict Attorney Albert L. Leonard, there
has been sufficient grist furnished to keep
the outrage mill grinding, and the pa
thetic tales told by the poor, benighted,
buldozed and "bambuzled:' negroes from
the country Parishes would cause tears
of genuine sorrow to trickle down the
stony check of the most hard-hearted
sinner-were it not for the unfortunate
fact that the Democratic members of this
Committee invariably catch these miser-
able creatures in little mistakes as to facts.
Illustrative of the dullness of the African
intellect and uselessness as witnesses be-
fore Radical outrage committees, we give
one of many statements made. The wit
ness said, ga band of armed men passed
my house. The moon was shining brightly
and l could easily distinguish several of
the parties" This he had learned, and
repeated without any trouble, but when
Il Democratic member had him recalled a
few moments latter and asked him for
tho name of the leader of this armed par
ty, the inconsistency of the negro was
brought out in bold relief when he re-
piled that "the moon was nearly down
and it so dark could not distinguish
any of the men," And these are til,
kind of beings from whom the Radica
party propose procuring material will
which to make a bloody shirt for the cam
paign of 1873. Good pity the countr.
that has such rulers.

PROF.. HARRINGTON,

Among the recent acquisitions to
the faculty of the State University,
says the New Orleans Democrat,
is valuable one in the person Of
Prof. M. W. Harrington, late OF
the Imperial University Of China.
and formerly CT tho University of
Michigan, who takes the chair of
Natural History. He was appoint
ed on tho recommendation OF Prof.
Hilgard and other eminent scien-
lists. The Ann Arbor Courier thus
speaks of him:
The many friends of Prof. Mark
W. Harrington will read of his &C.
ceptance OF the chair in the Univels
sity of Louisiana with feelings of
pleasure and regret-pleasure to
think that be is again to occupy
position of usefulness, and regret
10 have him so far removed from
our own State. Prof. Harrington,
as student in Michigan Universi:
ty, as a member Of its faculty or as
a Christian gentleman, commanded
the respect and esteem of all who
knew him. He was a teacher who
had the power not only to gain the
good will Of his pupils, but to
awaken in them spirit of enorgy
and enthusia sm in the prosecution
of their work. In short, lie is a
man of remarkable attachments for
his years. He never advoclt ed
anything which proved to be USE
less experditude Of money, but in
all his work he showed himself to
be man Of rare good sense az
we'll as sterling qualities Of person.
al character. His acceptance of
the chair in the Imperial Universi-
ty Of China took him away from
our institution, much to the regre:
CT our students and faculty, and
when, on account Of i'll health, he
was compelled to abandon that po-
sition, it was hoped that without
dismissing any Of our present corpse
of natural history teachers, all of
whom are needed, the way might
be opened for his return to that
department., and !hus would be
added to the faculty one whose du-
ties would be performed in such a
manner as to bring honor to the
University. It seems that this is
however, not to be; and while re-
GREETING his departure from the
North we can only congratulate
the University Of Louisiana author
tiles on having been so fortunate
iu their choice, and feel assured
that in future years they will un~
doubtedly rejoice that they passed
over sectional boundaries and Sc
lected man so eminently qualified
for the position.

SOLID SOUTH rs. SOLID NORTH.

The Republican leaders, in their
efforts to make a Solid North as
the counterpoise OF a so-called Soil
id South, says the N. o. City lem,
have grossly luissrepresented the
results of the emancipation and
enfranchisement of the Southern
blacks. 1t has been stated over
and over again that the political
power Of the South in Congress
has been increased to the extent Of
thirty-Gve Representatives in conse-
quence OF the enfranchisement Of
our colore1 population. This
statement has been exposed and
controverted by Senator Butler, Of
South Carolina. 1t is we'll known
that, whether right or wrong,
three-fiftbs of the colorcd popula-
tion of the Southern States were rel =
resented in Congress Almost since
the foundation Of the government.
According to the census of 1870
the colored population Of the South
numbered 4, 4S5.476. Of that NUM-
Der three~ffths are 1851, 2S5, so
that 1,794,193 is the increase at
tributable to negro enlranchisement
under the late amendments to
the constitution, and this number,
| according to the standard appor~
| tionment, would give only thirteen
instead Of thirty-five Congressional
! delegates. As Senator Butler puts
it:
In the year 1860, the late slave"
holding Safes con tributed to the
electoral college l20 members. In
1870 the same States had in the
electoral college 13S members.
Deduct two for the senators from
West Virginia AND you have 1876,
16 more than in 1860. But if you
turn to the State of Misso uri alone
you find that the white population
increased in the tdecade between
1860 and 1870, 53S, 1913. while the
colored population decreased 1872.
This increase of the white popula-
ton accounts for the d florence Of
three in my former estimate, and
shows the increase of the eafran-
chisement Of the colored population
to be ID instead of So
Negro acknowledgment was
most wise and popular thing
throughout the North so long as
the negroes were controlled by tie
carpet bag adventures and voted
the Republican ticket. But when
a change came, and they began to
exercise the right of private judg-
meut. a howl was made against IN
timidation and bulldozerie, which
were regarded as merely new
forms of the old vice Of rebellion.
Assuming that white Southerners
controlled the negro vote through
out the South, the oracles of Radi.
calism proclaimed from the house
tops that equality of representation
no longer existed between the citi-
zens of the respective States that,
in short, white citizen of the
South welded one-and-a-half times
the representative power that a
citizen of the North did, because
OF his CONTROL of the negro vote.
This view by no means does jus.
tice to the intelligence and discrim~
ination of the colored voters.
Those voters are as Thoroughly
awake to the importance Of pru-
dence, economy and fair play in
the administration of State affairs
as their white neighbors are, and
through that community of interest
which should be recognized by all
classes, they are now determined to
exercise the freedom of choice
which Northern voters claim as an
inalienable right. Yet the Repub-
licans of the North now threaten
