the close of the war the large plantations
were Egreatly sreduced in value and the
number of small farmers increased. Their

merchant soon began to purchase for the
more industrious negroes small tracts of

chant retained the title in himself as Sc
curity until the negro had paid the debt,
when the merchant transferred the title to
him. tThe negro thus became the
owner OF a small farm and the merchant

advance, good and reliable customer for
the future. Examples of this kind can be
found all over Georgia. I know of one
village merchant in single county who

The Dirke ring with Malone.

Senator-eleet Malone, of Virginia, Is, per-
hapS, surprised at the sudden manner in which
he has become not only nationally popular, but
powerful He has been a prominent man for
some years, but now he Ia industriously sought
after By both parties He went TO Philadelphia
and as soon as be had arrived the statesmen
began TO pour in upon him. Republican leaders
hunted for him, but Speaker Randall managed
to first get hold of the much sought-for Viz
gilman. Even Senator Don Cameron took part
Ii the competition for the ear Of Gen. Malone.
The general, so IL Is given out, has gone or Is
going 10 New York city TO meet some
OF the leading democratic lights and CON-
fer with them as to the best manner
OF making Virginia secure for Hancock
BIS alliance with either party would make the
result in Virginia a settled question, ana hence
the anxiety on both sides to see him. Accord
ing TO the declaration OF his organ and OF per-
sonal friends here, however, the general Is a
devoted friend and adnlrer Of Hancock, and
the democracy and means to strike all his blows
In that cause. 1t is given out, however, that
be has made alliance with the republicans to
the extent OF giving them aid In some OF the
congressional districts of Virginia In return
for votes from them for his readjuster electoral
ticket. As the result OF this understanding, it
l. said the republican national committee will
not interfere with the Malone ticket In Viz
ginia, as the state Is not now considered essen
tal TO the success OF Garfield and 1t Is hoped by
cooperation with Malone to gain two resub.
ncan members OF Congress In that state, which
VIII help materially In enabling the republicans
TO egafn possession OF the House.

The Democratic Situation In New
York.

All OF the formal work In the way of uniting
the two democratic factions OF New York city
has now been accomplished, and 1t only re-
mains for the voters to approve the arrange
ment and ratify 1t at the polls. One of the men
named In the Irving Hall list has been agreed
upon as the candidate for mayor, and this Will
probably allay the dissatisfaction that appeared
to exist among the anti-Tammanyites. The
singular editorial In the New York sun of yes
terday has been construed as the warning cry
OF the Tildenites that they would not submit to
any agreement which surrendered everything
TO Tammany. On the face OF things a con-
cesSton has been made TO the anti-Tammany
men. One OF their friends is chosen
for mayor, and through the power OF
this Office. no doubt, the TIldenltes expect to
be able to hold John Kelly 10 check. While
the compromise arrangement undoubtedly
strengthens the democracy In the Empire state,
very much depends upon the spirit which the
heretofore rival factions may manifest in sup
porting the union ticket. 1t IS plain that the
jealousy between the leaders OF Tammany and
Irving halls still exists and If they permit 1t to
80 show itself as to extend to their respective
followers then will their harmony be but
scarcely more than a name. The great obstacle
TO thorough union of the democracy In the
city has been the fact that the success of Tam.
many In securing control OF the local patronage
meant the overthrow OF Irving hall and the
latter's firm grip upon local power meant
the destruction of Tapmany. This was
what delayed the proceedings SC long, and now
If the voters OF either faction should suspect
that its future would be endangered by the
success OF the union ticket, they would no
doubt, hurt 1t, instead OF helping 1t. If the
union ticket proves really acceptable TO all the
city democrats and they begin at once to mani
fest their satisfaction by working for It's sue
cess, then there is 10 be a hard and close fight
between the two parties in the field for the cleo.
tOral vote OF New York. There are evidences
that the tariff agitation has caused some alarm
among democratic workingmen and mechanics
In the state, and unless this can be counter
acted this effect will be felt at the polls. All
the efforts OF the managers are now being
directed to the overcoming Of this feeling of
alarm. Tammany's chiefs are especially active
In this direction. and their power over
the members OF that organization Is very great
The democrats are contemplating mass meet
Ing In New York city. with Mr.. Tilden, Mr.. John
Kelly and Senator elect Malone, Of Virginia, In
the foreground. TO manifest by their presence
their feelings OF harmony and brotherly love
politically. This meeting will probably be held
early next week, aud 1t Is said that Mr.. Tilden
will not only be present but that his astute
hand will actively work the political wires In
New York from now on and until the election
is over.

Tine rumors from abroad OF the contemplated
abdcation OF the Car OF Russia are accom-.
panied by an occasional detail Or circumstance
tending towards confirmation. The Czarevitch
has now gone 70 Livadia, at the summons, it is
said, OF the Car, who wishes to consult with
him in regard to the question OF abdlcation.
The readiness with which the Czarevitch oOayed
this summons indicates either that his reported
Indignation at the marriage OF the Car with
the Princess D0lgor0uki was short-livei or that
he Is willing 10 abandon it and even approve,
for the sake OF stepping up to the imperial
throne. The main question with the Princess
l. TO secure a legitimate station and rank for
her children, born before her marriage She
naturally desires that they shall be recognized
as princes or the royal blood aud take rank next
10 the grand dukes. The CZarevitch must. #
seems, consent to s',eh an arrangement before
IL can be consummated /. Is more than proo-
able that the Car is being persuaded to ab1l-
cate By his new but lot young wife, who Is
naturally more anxious for her children than
for anybody else. She exerts her influence to
Induce the Car 10 exchange his life lease upon
the throne for rank aud station for her Child
rem. The Czareyitcn Is willing to yield consent
TO establish the legitimacy of his half brothers
provided he gets the crown at once Thus tt
appears that this woman is now directing the
affairs, and perhaps the deStinles OF the great
Russian empire.
