What Blackburn Would Do.

From the Little Rock Republican,
 It has been hoped and expected at least we have hoped for and expected it-that should c. E. Mitchell again become candidate for Congress in the Third District, especially at the pending election, it would be either as straightout Republican, or under such auspi- ces and enunciaiion of principles and avowed sympathies as would concentrate the solid Republicn vote upon him, which, with such Democratic element as he might bring oyer with him, would afford some sort of show of his election. and place him in such an attitude as to enable hlm after elected to go up 10 Washington and reasona- bly, fraternize with the Republican membership there, and command some influence for his State and constituency at home; but the atti- tude he has assumed-belonging to no party and being backed by none -leaves him totally without fol- lowing to start with, and utterly hopeless of success-which if won under the circumstances would be entirely frnitless.
 Hence to out mind the matter oi choice there with Republicans is simply between tho Democrats, equally able and personally worthy but the one disgruntled and mad dened, and at political flea without guide or compass, and hence with out political influence at home or abroad, while the other has the backing of a we'll organised party now in control of the National Government---is the nominee of that party, and having the person al confidence as to character anC ability of the whole people.
 Under the circumstances; with out any suggestion as to the duty of Democrats, we do not hesitate to say:it is the duty of every. .Republ' can to support McRae, and thereby concerve the public interest by the best means Tn sight; which may be done in one of two ways, either by going to the polls and voting fol him, or by remaining away and not voting at all. Were we in that District we would certainly do one or the other most likely the form er-

ONE of our exchanges, seeing no better reason, has concluded that Judge Mitchell is running for Con- gress for his health; while another believes he is just running through
 pure, downright contrariness. But they are both mistaken. He is
 running for pay. He was not al . lured into the contest by any hope of being elected. He saw a little money in it, and that alone is why he became a candidate. His friends raised six hundred dol lars by subscription for him to make the canvass on. They turned this sum over 10 him as a campaign

THE uneasiness of the Republi- cans concerning the result of the election now pending in Ohio may be seen in the fact that Sena tor John Sherman has taken the stump in behalf of their ticket. He opened the canvass at Mt. Gilead one day last week. This is the first time one of the old guard ol stalwarts has had to get right down to his knitting in several years. Ii is apparent that they regard the situation as desperate.

he interest of the country by vot.

the interest of the country by vot- ing for such a politicians MT. Me Rae has no ill.will toward you. In private lite, you know he has been kind and friendly toward you. In politics and as d public man he, in common with the Democracy, ad- vocates measures well calculated for your benefit: while Judge Nit. ohel opposes the Blair Education al Bill and advocates the estab- lishment of whipping post.
 Besides this, the true interest of the colored voters, if they will only think of it, tends to bring them to the Democratic party. In addition to the Blair Bill, it advo- cates all other measures which are for the good of the people. It op, poses monopolies, which put wealth in the homes of the few, and oppress the many. It opposes a high tariff which enriches the great manufacturers, and increases the cost of the necessaries of life to the poor; and it is for the good of struggling humanity everywhere. So we see no reason why, having no candidate of your own. you should not vote for McRae. But you must decide the question for yourselves.

The COlOred Vote.

The colored vote is recognized and important factor in the politics of this country, and can not be ig- nored or treated with contempt This fact should be realized by the colored voters, and arouse them to the propriety of using the ballot intelligently.
 The most of the colored voters are at present Republicans. But they have learned, by this time, that the islanders on the Democrat. ic party. to the effect that it in tended, if restored to power, to send them back to slavery, are false. They have been living un- der Democratic government in Arkansas for more than ten years, and are now living under Demo cratic National administration, and their freedom and right to vote are as secure as under any Republican administration. In the present Congressional race there is no Re- publican candidate in the field; and the colored people, if they see ii: to vote at all, will have to choose e between McRae and Mitchell McRae is an open, consistent, and avowed Democrats; Nit chel, while pretending to be better Demo crat than McRae, is, in fact, a DO litical tramp, endeavoring in his rounds to take in all parties, and can, therefore, from the necessity of the case, be faithful to none Can the colored voters think they are promoting their own interest ol

THE PURITAN AGAIN BEATS THE GENEsTA.
A CLOSE RAcE--rwo MINUTES AND NINE SECONDS

. CLOSE RACE-TwO MINUTES AND NINE SECONDS
DIFFERENCE AT THE FINISH.
The Boston sloop Puritan in the race yester-
day decided, by her victory, the possession OF
the Americas Cup, and developed qualities that
filed with amazement those yachtsmen VINO
had never seen her in heavy weather before.
There was lumpy sea aud strong lower
rail breeze. If the Puritan bad been sailed
with the excellent Judgment of her rival,
she would have beaten her worse, but as 1t was
she did what no other yacht in the world could
do, and after losing much valuable time and
giving her opponent the lead she came In the
winner, beating the Genesta l minute and 50
seconds on corrected time and 2 minutes and
seconds on actual time. The crew OF the de-
feated Yacht cheered the victorious boat after
the race. and in return the Puntans crew
eheered the Genesta. The Puritan made the
course of forty miles, beating half the time
against heavy sea, in hours, minutes and
Ia seconds. When the turDingbuoy was
reached it seemed as if the race was lost !;
but the Boston sloop redeemed herself before
the day was over. On the whole it was most
satisfactory race and well tested the relative
merits of the yachts. The next race in which
the Genesta Will sail in these waters viii be the
race for the CommodOre's cups on Friday. Inc
Puritan has not yet entered for that race.
