country is rough and mountainous, and
the Judge has the sympathy OF tho peo.

his efforts constantly baked. The Mar

NEGRO OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,


OnlCIal Figures Showing the Extent Of the
Southern Election Frauds,
WAsHINGrON, Oct. 2G.-Mr. Edward
McPhersou, seCretery OF the Republican
Congressional Committee, has sent the
following letter to Senator PIRtt on the
suppression Of tho colored vote in the
South;
"WAsnlNGroN, D. O., Oct %, lSSG,-liy
Dear Sir; have given your inquiry az
TO the extent to which the ilguEea show
that there is suppression Of the Coloved
vote In tho Southern states. A ClassiilCa.
ton Of the vote hy congressional districts
In 1875 aud in 1854 Wifl- show the net re-
result In shape which will be at once
most compact and most comprehensive
Including Delaware, Maryland and West
Virginia with the Northern States, we
have This result aB to the late slave States:
In 1875 their average district vote on Con.
gress was 23503 In 1881 their average
district vote on Congress was % 900.
This Rhows deGreEsed vote in the eight
.yeare, OF over 0 per cent. In the other
stateO OF the Union there was, during this
period, an Increased vote OF about II per
cent, Thus II per cent. represents the
average suppression.
In the Gull statea the wrong is more
marked, as 1t is more general and severe.
Take, for instance, Alabama, Mlssisaippi
and South Carolina. The average in Al.
ahalna fell from 10, 0iS In 1875 10 10 lG0 in
1884. The average in Mississippl fell
from 81, ,5c5 in 1876 to II, $50 in 1854 Tue
average Ia EOuth Carolina fell from 81 lIO
in 1876 70 l270O In 1854. The Averages
fall in these three States is from 2S, l2l in
1876 to 10, 5,30B in 1854, or within fraction
OF so per cent Itle average diBtriCt vote
In tho Northern states rosG from 80 1876
in 1876 TO 1874 in 1854, or II
per cent, 1t requires in the North
an average Of 1888 votes to carry
a diptrict. 1t requires In tho Gull States
named an average Of 1000 votes to carry o
dlsirict A voter in these States has, thus,
double the electoral and representative
power OF a voter in the Northern States,
rs the drec. result Of this suppression Of
the vote.

The Caroline county Democrat says: "Capt.

per mile. The plat he proposes to make will give
the number of miles, the number and size of the
bridges, and such remarks as to whether the roads
are hard or sandy as will enable the Commission
ers to determine the manner of working them.
The important point in this proposition for the
Commissioners to determine is whether the coun-
ty will ultimately receive benefits commensurate
with the cost of the plat. The plan seems good
