Of the solid South, and it is not surpris-

just what happened-factional dissensions

thinks that negroes have no right to vote
at all unless they vote repuhlican-and
we have not the least doubt that he does
think go But the negroes Of Louisiana
think otherwise-that their votes are
their own, and that they have right to
cast them how they please; and so a
great number Of them we're cast for the
democratic candidate and swelled his
splendid majority. Doubtless the Re-
publican party of the North would to-day
disfranchise the negro in order to reduce

that as the representation Of State in
Congress is in proportion to the voting

reduce the voting population by 80 much

creased accordingly. As it is, they have
representation in the congressional del

ROAD-MAkiNG.

A citizen of the village suggests that
on improvement might be effected in our
methods of road-making. He thinks
that we waste money every year under
the present system which might be saved
under another. His idea is that the use
of broken stone would afford a more sub
stantial roadway, which, once well made,
repair; while we now lay out considera-
BILE money annually and still never have
just such roads as we should like. We
certainly do expend very large sum on
our roads in the course of ten years, say
and it is well worth considering wheth-
er road that would cost more at the
outset would not be cheaper in the end
