A COMMUNICATION from Stats Mills,
Gilmer county, desires the REGISTER to call
the attention of our Congressional delega-
ton to the fact that Kentucky bidders are
about to get the mail carrying contracts,
which they sub-let at prices that prevent the
regular carrying of the mails. The SUE
contractors are worthless men. In the win
ter Of 1884 only four mails were delivered
in three months. The past winter it has
been almost as bad. The carriers get almost
no pay and they make money-not to carry
the mail. The people bid as low as mails
can be carried, but were underbii BY for
eiguers, which means no mails for four
years to come.

THE BLACK REPUBLIC.

The Black Republic Of Hsyti is barely
FIVE days sail from New York, and although
it contains within itself and among its peo-
pie, more Of the unnatural and curious than
many q wonder spot at the antipodes Of the
United States, yet very likely less is know
of it than most any other place on the
globe, Of equal Importance. To Americans
particularly, its government ought to be a
matter of study; for as it is a purely black
government, and republican at that, its
workings, unhampered by the interference
Of any other government, may assist one in
forming some accurate idea Of the tendency
Of the black race, under civilized forms,
when left absolutely to themselves. The
St Louis Republican extracts the following
information from q valuable book on the
subject:
Sir Spencer St. John, who for twelve
years was q resident of Hayti, part of the
Time IS Eug'Ish minister and consulgen-
cral, has written a book on "Hsyti; or, The
Black Republic" which is a valuable and
interesting contribution to the worlds stock
Of knowlsdge Of the negro. The author is
not aud was not an enemy to the black
race, and he went to HRyti without preju-
dice against it What be says, therefore, is
the record of observations Of q fair-minded
and thoughtful student Of negro society as
developed in q tropical climate under the
most favorable conditions. Hsyti is one
RI c-,.s ,oln,1a Nn kkn wlAha wtkk a
fertile and productive soil, q salubrious CHI
mate ard varied scenery; but its govern
ment in the hands Of negroes has been such
an unbroken record Of crime, corrup.
ton, cruelty and barbaric practices
that it has become one of the most unst-
t~ractiye spots in the world. 1t was former
" a French colony snd under French rule,
and q harsh system Of slavery, it was very
rich and It's exports enormous. But during
the French revolution, the blacks rose
against their masters and massscred them
and achieved their independence-and the
island has been theirs ever since. The Is
