Il Is evident that the race Is very
close between Gov. Stone and Major
Barksdale. There may be a differ

which are opposing Bsrksdale IN his
race for Governor, and he would have

If this statement means anything.
it is that the white counties are Dem
ocratio and the black counties are
Republican, and Greenback. and this
we believe is just what the Radi-
cal leaders contend, and upon this
theory Mr.. John Z. Lynchis con

Wood pulp is a leading Ingredient |
in the manufacture Of paper. Il is
made by saving spruce and poplar
logs into blocks and running them |
through fibre machines. A very few
men own the patent upon this pro
cess. Last year It was asserted that
Congressman Warren Miller, Of New
York, and Russell, Of Massachusetts
we're the sole owners Of this process
in the United States. It NAV be
that some others are in Il, but to all
practical intent these two may be
regarded as the American proprietors
Of the monopoly. Owning this, they
are able TO say how much wood pulp
shall be sold for, and thus regulate
the price Of paper They have grown
wealthy by forcing up this price and
by preventing the importation Of
wood pulp under heavy duties-thus
I levying a direct tax upon the educa-
ton and intelligence OF the country
The newspaper publishers and the
general public united fifteen months
ago ia The demand that wood EulD
should be stricken from the tarif
sheet and placed on the free list. The
object Of this demand was to throw
open the market to Canadian com :
petltion-not because there is not
wood enough over here, but SIMPLY
to force this handful Of monopolists
down TO 3 decent price. The two
Congressman named above made q
savage 6ght against this popular de-
mand, and succeeded, BY dint OF
combination with other congressman
who wanted protection for other ar
ticles, In keeping the duty Of wood
pulp up and maintaining their mon
opoly.
For this action Warner Miller vas
roundly denounced at the time by
the New York Times, Tribune and
Evening Post. They now find him
. to be a model Statesman. IL this
manner does partisanship warp judg.
, ment.

UPON authority, which we regaru-
ed as undoubted, we have charged
that Major Barksdale, when in the
Confederate Congress, was a sup
porter Of the 80 niger law" but
since he has, in a letter to Captain
Buchanan, entered a denial, it is but
inst to him that we should give him
The benefit OF said denial. He says:
"The 80 niger law 1t was a
clause in a very long bill which was
renorted by the Military Committee
oftbe House, Of ,ehich Committee ]
,ras not a member, after consultation
with Gen. Lee and-N Ter mi'Nafy
authorities. Such bills we're usually
nassed with but little consideration.
as they we're presumed, from their
ORIGIN. to be proper measures. That
clause. however. impressed me unfa-
vorqbiy, and I uoied against 4, as
Cen Chalmers, who has recently ex
ahmed the Confederate archives at
washington informs me and though
It has been eighteen years my ree2l-
lections conform with his statement.
The law was only in existence few
months. I introduced a BIZ TO to
repeal II, and e ,gas repealed on my
motion"
We have no disposition TO do Maj
Bark sdale or any one else injustice.
If it we're legitimate to mirepresent
candidates, we would not deem it
necessary in this case, for f.om our
standpoint the Majors record is so
vulnerable, even the "20rdgger Law,
would add but little towbat he must
carry
His case reminds US Of an anee-
dote told at the expense ola Justice
