The late battles in thu South between white people and negroes should be warning not unheeded of the almost hi cvltablc conflict of races now threatening tne jfepuDHc with a new danger. It Is very true that "war legislates." and that tho civil war lu this country leg- Mated tlic bonds oft tho limbs of the slaves and the ballot Into the hands of the negro. It is alo true, that In all of tho Southern States Hie legislation of the war gave into the hands or carpet bag politicians nnd their black allies power they have abused and against which a reaction is now taking place. 'Ilils condition of affairs might have been prevented by tho Dcmcratic party if after the war it iiad become the advo cate of impartial suffrage ; but it could not rl above Its old-thne prejudices, and In resisting universal suffrage permitted the great curso of Impartial sull'mgo to Imj Imposed upon nil tho States of the Union. That tho Democratic party acted lu this way is not a surprising fact. Par ties, like Individuals, cannot wlt""f " llcuii i tiu t ..uuiitiun lucas tuat have long been adhered to; they must bo led with much persuasion into new i.itlis; the Democratic party lias been thus led and lluds Itself nowin n position it would havo protested eight years ago It could not Imj induced to occupy. Combatting the protesting policy of tho Democracy, the Kepubllcaus have gomi too far. Not satllled with giving to the negro all the rights enjoyed by the white people or the Hepublle, they havo fltttuiipUil to lcglstatn him Into social equality with the wblto nian thev have become tho apologists of all hi. crimes they lt:iu Incited him to aumo airs of superiority, and with Insolence to demand IhOhomagool tho white jicopleof the South, over whom bo lias dominated lor years. .Naturally the white peoplo nave resented tho Insolence of the negro; nnd the consequence has been, Dloodshed. Tho white people, of the South Hhould not seek to undo the ....... .1... . i .it. . .... .... wniiii-m mi- iiiniMii 111 wiucn uicy were deieaicii by the sword; and they shall not. What should havo been lsono thing; what ls,W another thing. What Is, cannot now nc replaced by what should have been. Until Is necrtheless true, that tne Idea that the negro Is the ward of th nation, to be cared Turin anespeeial man ner, must W abandoned. He must work onl his own destiny. Ho lias the ballot he has tho right Io have bis chll drrn educated at tho publio ex K'iiM); lie u in every sensu (he political equal of the wblto muit. These are facts Io be maintained ; and It Is true, mar, u no is wormy, m worthiness will make him also thu social equal of bU white political brother; but legislation cannot do Ibis, and the white race will not patlenily submit to such legislation. This fact has become apparent since tho dbeiw-ilon of tho civil rights bill was commenced. That bill has done mom than any other "negro-measure" to awaken, antagonism between the wblto and black races ; and If (ho policy of that bill is persisted In, t w ill result to t limits. advantage of the colored mau almou lucvltably preclplUto upon the country a war of races In which tho black nin will bo crushed. s D0NGQLA.

The car was lined with straw, and pro vided with a' stove, fuel, and a stoker. This was the third car load that has gone forward with a beating attachment. Joshua Wright killed two hogs, half- breed Poland-China, a little over a year old, and weighing respectively 351 and 1)5.1; worth, nt market price, about $00. The strangeness of the matter Is, that they cot him less than ten dollars for lecd. Who, In the hog-ralslng business, cau !cat these profits? Since the transit of Venus and tho change of the moon, the roads are becom ing good again, and grain hauling, wood hauling, tic hauling, and hauling lu gen eral, is tho onler of tint day. Several pieces ot timber, lorty-two feet 'long and a foot square, have lieen brought lu for tlitpmcnt to Chicago; and a lot of black walnut knots, for St. I.ouls. I.ontz & Benton distributed some strychnine in their warehouse for the benefit of the rats. A dog found some of It anil became very sick. Au Irishman undertook to doso him with oil, but tho patient died on his hands about as sud- lenly as the snakes nnd toads disappeared from Ireland under the magical wand of St. Patrick. "Uegorra, he went quickly," was the Irishman's verdict, J lie nut road company have very generously made n large reduction on the rate for llour barrels henco to Cairo; and the coopers appreciate tlio tavor. They will go to work with renewed eucrgy,and Increase the production In a correspond ing ratio. Cairo will buy all that our live shops can turn out, and they can turn out a great many of them. The dulcet notes ol tne adze and driver arc henceforth to be our music. A longing for the old home of their younger days, Induced Jacob Smoot and his sons, John nnd Aleck, to return with their families to North Carolina. They had lieen living In the Karaker neighbor hood, about thrro inlles cast of here, for several years, but this fall they sold off their loose chattels, excepting a team and wagon each to carry them back to the land ot the "Sand Lappcrs." They made thejourney without accident, but the hopes ofa better country than the one they Had just left were not realized. Thing had changed; it was not like the country that their Imaginations had pictured, and the cry of the hard times was raging throughout the land. Their disappoint ment waxed strong, and they found no rest till they started on tho return trip Ihey sold their teams and returned by rail, reaching hero on last Saturday Of the person who emigrate from Southern Illinois, about nlnc-teiiths sooner or later, lluil their way back. This should be a lesson that the dissatisfied mortals should learn, and be able to profit by tho dearly-bought experi ence of tho who have tried the emi grating experiment. The Smoots are good, honest, hark-worklng men, and we welcome them back to a land of plenty. Howaup. 1'lIYStH'IANIS. w ILLIAM It. SMITH, M. S.
