THE FIRST MAN WHO ATE CROW.

The origin Of the phrase seating

convention days. An old farmer on the
Hudson, below Albany, took summer
boarders + rke ont the profits Of his
farm. He sold the best Of his farm
products, however, and often palmed off
on bis boarders ",tore" articles bought
at a loves price. To their murmurs lie
replied: Il kin eat anything, kin eat
a crow" This remark was repeted so
often that one Of the guests finally shot a
crow and got the cook TO prepare it for
dinner. Fearful, however, that the far.
mer mighthave stomach for even such a
dish the bird was literally seasoned
while cooking with Scotch snuff. The
farmer was rather taken back when the
dish was placed before him, but had too
much pluck to give in beaten without
trial and attacked the bird, with the
remark: II kin do it," At the second bite
he repe ted, II kin eat crow" and. as

cutting the third mouthful and began to

THE NEGRO IL POLITICS.

from tLe View Orleans PlcaynneI
The Deero is passing ont II politics.
H. can lever tigure again ID that arena
II 3 Republican, for the simple reason
tile Republican party has 10 longer
any use for him-or rather, any oppor-
tnuity to use linn. The Southern States
ore all hopelessly Democratic, and it
would be q waste uf money, sorely, need
ed II more promising quarters. to can
yass this section III the interest Of the
Chicago nominees. We understand
that it is not tie intention of the Repub.
lican LartY managers to attempt to organ
ize q campaign in this State, and they
have equally good reasons to abandon
the struggle in all the other Sou thern
States.
The conclusion has been inevitable
since the overthrow Of tile returning
board system. BY the short and easy pro-
ccsses nf that system minority was
readily converted into a majority, and
the change was male good at the point
of the bnyonet; bnt now there are no
more returning boards, and returns, are
estimated by the oldfashioned methods
of arithmetic. The negro, therefore, is
no longer available MS the basis Of fan
cIfnl political calculation, and is CORE
Fpondingly less attractive rs man and
brother. He is, as we have said, useless
TO the Republican party; but he is worse
than that. As citizen he counts in
political representation by Democratic
majoriiies, is represented by Democrats
in Congress and in the Electoral College.
II ls, perhaps, no consolation to the Re
publican party to remember that this re-
snlt is contrlvance Of its own.
The worst Of it is that the negro is now
nearly as useless in the North as he is
in the South. The outrage mill has been
so iudnstriously worked that the market
was long ago oyerstocked wi Ii its pro.
duets, and the tickle appetite Of the pub
lie is no longer excited by that sort of sen.
sation. Mr.. Garfeld's managers have
even taken pains to show that his can.
didacy, is an evidence Of reaction in the
Republican party from stalwartism
They think it would weaken his chance
to set him up as an active supporter
Of Federal interference for the redress oi
negro wrongs.
1T ie, moreover, well known fact that
Mr. Garfield was the originator of the
I election laws, known as the United States
Marshals bill. Mr.. Hayes recently veto
ed that bill; but Mr.. Garfield's friendl
4 will not be slow to argue Mr.. Garfield'I
( moderation from the fact Of his approva
4 Of it. II he we're President and such /
bill we're presented to him we canno
suppose that ie wonld be so inconsistent
as 10 withhold his signature. Indeed
the indications are that the Republican
party is quietly effecting complet,
change Of base, and that the time il
fast approaching when the negro is Il
be let severely alone. Republican plat
forms for fhe future will point will
| pride TO the party's past, assert that thi
is nation and not league, assume th,
merit Of whatever prosperity the coun
try may enjoy, Reneralize vaguely abou
education, tariff and the like; but th,
black man will cast only fading shad
owupon the board.

The census enumerators in Utah
are having some little trouble when tbev
come to the married column. They do
not know how to classify the wives Of

put down all his wives as married-the
Federal law holds that they are not his
legal spouses-or should they only con-
siderer wife No. as married. Perplex-
ed over this question, the enumerators
appealed to the head of the bureau at

set the Mormon women down as married

II viii De remembered that there was
at the time s0rae talk about giving a
Bekro sks second J see ea ths Chicago
ticket, aud shss Ss4saspr Brnee's name
was mentioned In that e0anection but
the eolorsi statesman IN question was
accorded no other distinction than
the chaiFman's gavsl. The likelihood is
that the next Nattocal Republican tom
yention, should such body ever again
convene. will be still more chary with its
favor. and that the party will question
seriously the expediency of according SO
much weigh. to the vote of delegations
from States which cannot I've counted
upon III elections. If the negroe is
equally wise he must begin to see that
he has now as little to hope from the
Republican party as that party has to
expect from him. He will see that in
his own section be must side with the
dominant party or, politically speaking,
go 70 the wall altogether.
As Democrat he will have the polit-
ical friendship at least of the winning
party, and viii receive whatever patron
age is still possible for him. He will
recollect that after all he is a southern
man himself, and that all the material
interests Of the section concern him as
directly as they do other citizens. OF
nee as a reward for party service in the
affair Of politicians only the great mass
OF the people, white and black are only
interested in the fate If parties as it
bears upon the real business of their
lives. the price Of labor and of bread.
If there is any sentimental consideration
Of gratitude involved the black man
must remember that there was no
braver or more successful soldier in the
armies which made his emancipation an
accomplished fact than Gen. Hancock,
and that Gen. Grant himself would not
go to greater lengths to maintain intact
the legitimate results of the war
