Tobacco.

A crop Of seven hogs heads OF to-
bacco raised on three and half
acres OF ground was sold on the
Louisville market yesterday for a
little over $500. The tobacco was
grown on a part Of n lawn Of ash
land" Henry Clay's old home. In
the general depression of values Of
farm products it is gratifying to
see one crop that repays the cost of
cultivation and leaves a handsome
margin over. One gond crop OF to-
bacco will nearly always sell for
more than the ground upon which
it is grown. This particular crop
was unusually fine Burnley, but the
common dark kinds that are raised
upon the cheaper soil of the "Pen.

The contest between the Rev. N.
I. Hopkins and Joe NJ. Kendall
presents some amusing features.
1t will be remembered that the
chief ground OF contest is that the
Clerk of Clark county fradulently
placed the name OF Hopkins un-
der the device of COON instead
of putting it under the eagle, the
device chosen by his party. The
facts of the case are as follows !:
Several weeks previous to the filing
of the Hopkins certificate of nom
ination with the Clerk the negroes
who compose three,fourth3 OF the
of the Republican voters Of the
county, demanded that they be
given representation on the county
ticket, which being refused them
by their white brethren, they at
once set about to resent the I'M
fair treatment shown them, and
called a meeting and Nominated a
full ticket for county offices, at the
same time getting up & petition to
have the names of said candidates
placed upon the ballot, This Pc
tition was signed by 104 legal vot-
ers of the county, They claimed
Straight Republican" for their
party name, and adopted the eagle
as their device. This petition was
gotten up as the law requires, and
filed with the County Clerk several
weeks before Hopkins had filed his
certificate OF nomination. When
the Clerk came to prepare the bal
lots, finding that the same device
had been selected by two groups OF
candidates, towit, the white Re
publicaus aud the colored petition
ers for the same otliae, he had Dul
one thing 10 do, aud that was to
give the eagle for device 10 the

was the colored or straight Re.

suitable device for Che other group

The leading Republican newspa-
pers talk against the income tax
for two reasons. One is that it
was passed by the Democrats, and
the other is that it falls upon the
rich instead of the poor. A poor

to be a Republican.
