IT IS now openly asserted by some SOUTH
ern republicans that the reason President
Harrison reversed himself on the question
of appointing negroes to Office in the South,
was q trade he made with them, by which
he was promised in exchange for such Offices
their solid support for denomination at the

Mr.. Harrison He has performed HE part
OF the contract, at the expense of broken

LEX AN DRIA,
SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 10.

TUE REPUBLICAN tariff bill recently In
troduced in Congress is strongly indicative
of one of two thingp, either that the men
uho formulated 1t knew little or nothing
about what they we're doing, or else tha1
thew take the farmers, who compose the
majority oft voters, to be utterly ignoF-
ant and stupid, and therefore susceptible TO
spy deception, no matter how gross, that
may be practiced upon them. The bill
referred to imposes heavy tax on imported
provisions and breadstuffs, for the protested
purpose OF protecting American farmers"
though every intelligent man knows that'
go far from tariff being necessary to e1-
clude such importations, they couldn't be
drawn here by bounty. The surplus OF
such articles is here, not abroad, and what
the farmer needs is, not tariff to exclude
what can not be imported, but free trace,
that will give him wider market for his
products, and enable him to buy what he ls
compelled to purchase, at half the present
price. The result OF the recent elections 10
the North and West shows that II the re-
publioans in Congress are acting under the
impression that they can poke their fingers
in the eyes of the farmers of those sections
any longer, they are egreeiously deceived

ans Levy Court uuu AA"AARS.
At yestsrday afteruoon's session OF the
Levy Court Mr.. Sutton read an interest
Ing letter from the sheriff Of Salem
county, N. j, on the tramp Question.
The sheriff said that Salem county a.
present was bothsred by very few trsmps.
Eight or ten years ago the bill for Keep.
ing tramps IN tAAt county ran from SlIo
10 $50 per month, but now 1t 10 only
from $40 70 $50 per month. The sheriff
was unable 10 cay what was the cause oil
the change unless 1t was from the de-
termination Of the mayor Of Brldgeton to
stop them. The letter says that tho
mayor would commit tramp for one
night and II they came back the second
night the mayor would tell them that he
would commit them for ten or twenty
days II they came again. This, the
sheriff says, might not do for Whining
ton, but In Bridgeton they find that the
tramps do not want to stay confined
long.
Another letter from Bridgeton states
that the act Of 1875, statutes OF New
Jersey, gives the county authorities
power TO suppress tramps, and confine
them to work ON the streets or county
farm or to work in tho house OF correc-
ton.
During the afternoon the court visited
the loft OF the Court House aud took .
look smoDg tho old documents. ST.
ranged in order by Mr.. A. g. Brinton.
The court allowed Mr.. Brinton $45 for
arranging the documents In order. Mr..
Ii. being fond OF hunting up the history
OF old relics, he was spleDdidly adapted
to this work. Many OF the documents
are very curious.
The Low Court dined yesterday At the
Central Hotel, the guests of Sheriff
Allen. Tomorrow they will pass upon
the sherif's allowances. The court visits
the Homeopathic Hospital this after
noon aud the Ferris Industrial School
tomorrow afternoon.
