CAUGHT BY THE FLOOD,

The North Carolina Negroes Panic-
Stricken by the Mississippi Overflow.
[From the New Orleans Times Democrat
The overflow of the YazOo country of
Mississippi and in portions of Arkansas
will probably have material effect in
checking the immigration Of negroes
from the Carolinas. Most Of those COM
ing into the Southwest from the Allan
tic States settled in the country around
Vicksburg and Greenville, and went to
work on the river plantations. They
when the nigh water came and the
evees broke, and they were COM
PEELED to seek refuge on Jhem or on
any high place of laud they could
find, they were naturally par lc stricken
al this difference between their new and
their cid homes. That mauy of them
should wish to return home TO Carolina
was natural They were VII cared for,
however, by their employers and will
probably get over their scare ultimately
and become accustomed to crevasses:
but that the news of the overflow Will
reach Carolina and check emigration
from there is to be expected. 1t is safe
to say that the high water IN the Missis-
sippi and the stories of crevasse auC
flood which will reach the Carolina
darkies in a very exaggerated form, will
render it far more difficult for Louisiana
Mississippi and Arkansas planters to Sc
the labor they have been recently I'M

THE OFFICIAL VOTE.

The majority for Mccall, 1851,
over Westhoff, Republican, for comp
troller, not only verifies the predictions
made before the election but goes far
beyond the most sanguine Democratic
expectations. In 1886 Mccall beat
Brown, Republican, for comptroller
1885 votes, Brown receiving 55,9S2,
against 73,343 cast for Westhoff on
Nov. 4, last.
Aside from this magnificent major
ity for Democracy in this state the
comptrollers vote fully indicates that
Democratic principles are keeping well
apace with our increase of population.
In 1884 Texas gave Blaine 91,701
votes, which undoubtedly represented
the strength of the Republican party
in the state at that time
Now for comptroller and
other State officers, exclusive of the
governor, she has cast about $1,000
votes which must be considered de-
crease and a striking one considering
the growth of the State in population
There is another feature connected
with the Republican vote for Westhof
on which the people OF Texas can con
graduate themselves. II is of the
70, 600 ballots cast for him over t0,00(
were colored votes, and that not more
than 10000 white men out of the
$50, 1000 voters of the State who voted
for comptroller endorsed the party to
which Reed, Mckinley, and ingalls,
and Granny Hoar belong.
