To vote 10 Massachusetts, a man
must not only have resided in
the State one year, in the town
or city six months, must read and
write, must have paid tax within
two wears, must not have received
help from the overseers of theJpoor /;
he must have been, also, first asses
ed by the assessors; if he has not
been assessed he cannot be register
ed as a voter, even with all the 9th
err requirements complied with ; and
if he has not been assessed, unless
he personally appears for registra-
ton, and is registered, he cannot
vote. The use of money corrupts
many thousands who have qualified
for suffrage, and Intimidation does
the rest. If the ballot were as fair
and free 10 Massachusetts as in
Georgia, the State would be comforts
ably Democratic, and Hoar ana
Dawes would not be Senators. The
Boston Globe bids the world remem-
bel that it was by the coercive re-
construction measures the Republi>
can party forced unqualified suffrage
on the Southern Sts,es-a system
which Massachusetts repudiates with
in her own borders aod which fails
to accomplish for that party the
work II was intended to secure.

The Plow.

People may talk Of political science
and the expert management Of the pol
iticians and the financial skill of the
Secretary of the National Treasury, but
fol- what the government is in wealth
and greatness it is indebted to the plow
and nothing else. Agriculture and
commerce sustain the country. Farm
ers, as class. are not given that credit
which they are entitled TO as the factors
Of American wealth, and the place she
occupies among other nations. Let the
plow fail, and twill be seen what rail.

lionaires will be worth. have noticed
for forty years the progress Of men en-.
gagged in the various pursuits, and farm
ers, as class (although few make
large fortunes at farming), hold their
own better than any other class. Gem
orally what they get they keep, and live
at their case. in comfort and independ-
ence, throughout all the crashes and
failures that take place among business
men. Most young men seem to think
farming a mental occupation, when the
truth is the love Of company and fine
dressing are the allurements OF a town
life, not taking into consideration that
all town employments are uncertain and
dependent on circumstances. A farm,
paid for and well managed, is the safest
Investment that can be made. True,
there is no rapid fortune to be made by
farming. but it insures TO man of in
dustry and prudence living Of COM

men to embark in farming il they desire

THURSDAY EVENING, July 7, 1881.
The business outlook since the first OF
the month, especially to commission men
dealing in grain and hay, is anything but
encouraging. The market seems to have
reached state Of general stagnation, where,
without any material changes in prices,
transactions have come to astand.still.
The weather continues hot and dry, and
were it not that Cairo is one Of the health
lest towns In the United States, fears would
be felt for the continued good health of its
inhabitants; but, as it is, all ailments re-
ported are Of light and transient nature.
FLOUR-The market continues firm,
but transactions, like stock, are of the light
order.
HAY-Nothing at all doing. Receipts
are small, but the stock in store is ample
for all demands.
CORN-We note a weakness in white
and lower quotations. Mixed rules steady
and in good demand.
OATS-Very little doing. Prices are
steady and unchanged.
MEAL-There is moderate demand
for city meal at previous quotations.
BRAN-Scarce, firm and unchanged.
BUTTER-.All kinds of butter is plenty
and very dull.
EGGS-The bottom has fallen out of the
market. Last week buyers were willing
to give any price asked, now sellers will
take anything reasonable that is offered.
CHICKENS Plenty and dull at quota
tons.
FRUIT-All kinds Of small fruits are
scarce and in good demand.
