Mr.. Langston's defamation that
the negro's rights are secure under
the common law is true. He has
been made a citizen by the wal a.
mendments to the Constitution, and,
moreover, is protected by that in
strument from discriminating legis-
lature on the part of any State. The
white man has no greater rights
than the negro. The two races
stand on a level. Both must look to
the States, as white men always have
looked, for incidental protection to
life and property. The Civil Rights
law or its nullity, adds nothing to
nor takes from the negro any Of the
rights acquired by the constitution.
He has the same chances of the
white trash" Let him use them.

Bradstreet's takes a very gloomy
view of the cotton crop. 1t claims
that this years production will be
much less than last years. 1t says
that in North Carolina there will be
a falling of of 81 per cent; in Geor
gia So per cent; in Florida "a Per
cent; in Louisiana, South Carolina
and Texas, 40 per cent; there will be
50 per cent reduction in Alabama,
35 per cent in Arkansas, and Is per
cent in Tennessee. The crop of last
year was 1872, 600 bales. This years
crop is estimated at 1924 900 bales.
This is an enormous falling off of
2,46S,000 bales-over 50 per cent of
the cotton crop of last year. This
too in despite CT the larger acreage
under cotton. The acreage in 1881
was Is, 851, 600; in 1882, 16, 500, 600
acres; this year, it is 17,449,0 900 acres.
On the strength of this report there
has been an advance in the price of
some varieties of cotton goods. The
agricultural department Oh the other
hand, estimates that this years crop
will be $685. 900 bales, Or more than
1920, 600 in excess of Bradstreet's
estimate.

The Downfall of a Corrup,


From the Boston Herald.
The Republican party has passed
into q minority-taking the State
Governments and Coneresstogether-
because of its persistence in facing
backward and attempting to live upon
its record instead of securing new
titles to respect and confidence by its
policy and deeds in the present. Its
mole-eyed leaders went on standing
by the old flag" long after the starry
banner foated free over all the land
and needed no defenders. Only three
years ago this past summer the two
most conspicuous leaders of the Re-
publican party-Mr. Blaine and Mr..
Conkling-started in upon the Presi-
dental campaign waving the ragged
remnant OF the bloody shirt, and
shouting the WORKOUT shibbolcths of
dead and buried issues. The loss of
Maine and the threatened loss of Ohio
and Indiana compelled them to change
their ground, and, by resorting to the
tariff scare and the free use of money,
the party was pulled through. one

President Garfield, in his inaugural,
sounded the bngle note for an ad-
vance. He eXhorted his party to turn

and take up q new line of march. He

terms against further delay in treating

The letter of colored Congressman

The letter of colored Congressman
Elliott, contains something besides a
sharp arraignment of the Supreme
Court and an apology for Chief
Justice fancy and Jefferson Davis.
1t is the following bit Of excellent
advice to his colored brethren with
which the letter closes:
Ifthe negro shall readily learn the
lessons which this decision would
teach, he will not have long 10 live in
order to be convinced that the Judge
ment of the Supreme Court is really
la blessing in disguise. He must
strike out boldly for himself, and must
rely largely upon his own efforts to
win the confidence and respect of his
white fcllow-citizens. lie must deter
mine TO pluck from the seeming net
tie of disaster the perfumed rose of
success. Let him be prudent, self-re-
liant, industrious, temperate, and pro-
vidcnt of his meansg let him educate
himself morally and mentally; let
him be scrupulously rcgardful of the
rights OF otlers-insisting with firm
ness OH all occasions upon like treat
mont for himself-and the time must
soon come when the evils of which
he now justly complains shall be heal

The report of the Agricultural
Bureau for October shows that the
crops for 1883 are ample to make un-
necessary any pushing up of the
prices. The frosts of September did
not injure the orn crop to the ex-
tent prophesied. The largest crop
ever grown was a little over 1,700,-
000, 600 bushels and that Of this year
viii be close to 1,6OO, 900, 600. The
wheat crop viii average about as
usual, while the oats and barley
crops are the largest ever grown.

last year, has been but twice exceed

Senator Bayard, of Delaware thus
expresses himself upon the Demo
cratic outlook:
"The prospect is most favorable.
The Democratic party is on the eve
of a brilliant triumph. The result
in Ohio forshadows this without a
doubt. Even if Foraker had been
elected, we would not have been
much jeopardised, but a Democratic
triumph after such great exertions
had been put forth by the Republi-
cans puts Ohio in the Democratic
ranks, and places the election of our
candidate beyond the shadow of a
doubt"
There is not q shadow of q doubt
of the truthfulness of the predictions
of this eloquent statesman.

Rewriting History.

History is being rewritten "with
a vengeance when a Free States
mar takes old John Brown of Ossa-
h: tonne, down from the pedestal TO
which the anti slavery men elevated
him and shows him up as a murder
ous assassin who went into the anti
slavery movement chiefly because he
was spelling for a fight. This is
what a Free State man docs in the
current number of the North Ameri-
can Review, and the evidence he ad
duces leaves no room for doubt that
his story is true.
Quite as remarkable as the de-
mar~tyrization of John Brown at the
hands of the class on whose side he
fought is the rescue of Judge Taney's
memory by a colored man from the
opprobrium which it has been fash
ionable for the colored mans friend
to heap thereon. In a recent letter
to the New Orleans Times Democrat
Robert B. Elliott, the first colorcd
Representative in Congress from the
South, writing of the civil rights
decision says:
"The Supreme Court of the United
States has solemnly decreed that the
National Government is without con-
stitutional power to enforce its guar
antees to its citizens domiciled in any
of the States. Thus the colored
American is made to feel that, in so
far as government applies to him,
there can be no reciprocity between
the duty of allegiance and the duty of
protection. View it as We may, the
decision is as ultfN as any eve before
pronounced against the negro by a
Democratic States-rights court, or as
could be reasonably desired by the
strictest of strict constructionists of
the Federal Constitution. The declara-
ton of the late Chief Justice fancy,
made at q time when the negro was q
slave, and when truth compels us to
admit the language of the Constitu-
ton, interpreted under the rules OF
strict construction, would seem to
have warranted the declaration that
"the negro was, in the light of the
Federal Constitution, an alien, and
that black men would seem to have nc
rights that white men were bound to
respect" has been authoritatively
voiced and reaffirmed by what mer
have heretofore affected to regard as Q
Republican Supreme Court. Done
too, by a tribunal whose members
with but n single exception, have al
along claimed to belong to, and who
were elevated by, a party whose rubrit
has been that the Constitution should
always be interpreted and construed
literally in favor of human rights
done in the face of the recent amend,
ments to the Constitution, professedl!
adopted as a protest against the doc
trine advanced by Judge fancy
Time has. indeed, brought its re
venge."
And having thus done a good turr
to the much abused Chief Justice o
