Tlie Xrgro Labor Union.
According to the American Union, (Swayze's
paper,) the movement, fathered by Jeff Long,
to get np a Labor Union among tho negroes and
pledgo them to demand thirty dollars a month
for field hands and fifteen dollars a month for
women, is the work of .1. K. Bryant, nr ! Long
is the catspaw in the knsint ss. If these «orthiefl
should succeed in bringing up the negroes to
that line, they will make n ease of them ; for it
is ncedl-ss to say they will all necessarily forfeit
wages.
Nor is it possible to fir upon a safo minimum
of wages for t!~! 1 hands simply because that
some of them would bo dear for their food,
while others, who are intelligent, able, faithful
and honest would t>e comparatively cheap at
twenty dollars a month nnd rations. Piece
work cannot he applied to the plantation, and
therefore the common dead level of tho trades
unions which is wholly nnjnst in respect to
them, wonld he impossible in plantation labor.
Unquestionably the price of labor will rise
this winter, hut the demand of any sneh mini
mum by the negroes ns thirty dollars a month
wilt destroy the wages system altogether.
Hands must then lie idle and relapse into va
grancy, or bo content to labor on shares nnd
take risks with tho landowner.
Tin* Situation in IVniiNJ 1 vituin.
The ’Washington special of the 28th nit to the
Louisville Courier-Journal says that
“Tho Kndicnls are alarmed at the situation in
Pennsylvania. As things now look, they freely
ndmit in quiet conversation that the Democrats
will carry tho State in October. Tho Chairman
of the Republican State Committee, John Co-
vode, arrived here to-day, and with Senator Wil
son, who has been making speeches in Pennsyl
vania, had an interview with the President, nnd
suggested various measures of relief for tho Re
publican party. One is that Pennsylvania l>e
given tho existing Cabinet vacancy, so that the
Slate may not fee! that it is ignored by the ad
ministration. Other requests mentioned in to
day's conference have not transpired. 0/ course,
it will bo telegraphed hcnco that Wilson and Co-
vodo declare that the Radicals will carry Penn
sylvania, but their sadden visit to the President
to-day and their cry for help belie their words.”
The election in Pennsylvania, os well as Ohio,
occurs next Tuesday week, the 12th instant The
difference in the fair relative strength of politi
cal parties in Pennsylvania, in 656,000 votes,
does not amount to twenty thousand—say throe
votes in evory hundred or thirty rotes in every
thousand—so that neither party can bo freo
from much danger and anxiety in any popular
eloction.
Ohio has polled in tho last three elections an
average of 498,765 votes, with on average Rad
ical majority of 69,465.
.Ilotl Have .Money.
The Mississippi Radicals have sent circulars
North making an urgent appeal to their political
brethren for pecuniary aid. They stato thoir
requirements thus, in italics and capitals:
“To effect this in a way that the opposition
shall smart under it, and thoy shall yield peace
ful submission at the ballot box, we shall have
need of at least TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS from tho friends of our party else
where. Tho poor whites and the colored men
nro the most nnmerous class in the State. Many
of them are starving, and our political enemies
nro providing them with bread. Many are sick,
nnd they clotlio them. Others are thirsty, and
thru drink with them. Thus danger, fearful
and threatening, hovers over us, and to avert it
wo MUST havo monoy.”
If that is the wsy they aro going to do, tho
smart of the opposition, will doubtless be offset
by tho satisfaction of tho Mississippi darkies
over plenty of bread and whisky. A story is
afloat that this sad appeal from Mississippi for
money .to buy whisky for tho negro voters waa
road in tho Massachusetts Radical Convention
before that body took final action in utterly sup
pressing tho liquor traffic. It moved tho Con
vention to tears and meantime the hat was
passed round with an abundant blessing. Is
that so ?
The Sot TUeti.v Cultivator for October lias
reached us. Wo can do our planting friends no
greater service than to call their attention to
thia agricultural magazine. It is tho leading
representstivo of that revolution in Southern
farming, ivhich has been iuNiigurated sinco tho
war, with such happy results. Its editors,
though progressive, are evidently cautions men,
attaching great weight to experience, ns is shown
by the large number of articles in every issuo,
written by practical farmers in nil tho Southern
States. I's corps of contributors is unrivalled.
Wo notice that the publishers continue to furn
ish to new subscriber* tho letters contributed by
Mr. Dickson, embodying his experience and
practice. These alone are worth twenty years
subscription. If you havo nover seen tho paper,
send a stamp to Southern Cultivator, Athens,
Go., for a specimen copy, and examine it for
yourself. Prico >2.00 n year.
C.u.iri ivia TnorniEs.—At n State Fair now
holding in San Francisco the Boggs Bros., of
Sherman Island, on tho Savannah river, exhibit
a couple of citrons, very large—ono labelled 43
pounds; also, three mammoth watermelons—
one labelled 47 pounds. They also exhibit sam
ples of potatoes which yielded 454 bushels to
the acre, at a gross weight of 27,250 pounds.—
A squash is found iu tho vicinity which looks as
if it might weigh two hundred pounds.

a conscience, hut it is located in a strange place.
In her “ Sun ay oj Foreign Lands,”
page 420 voL 2, she thus writes :
‘ "Suddenly, so suddenly that it was quite mys
terious,” conscience smote me. A profound,
deep-seated remorse developed itself exactly in
the deepest centre of the pit of my stomach.”

The Whisky Fraud* and Tax
The New York Times of the 28th ult., in an
editorial laudation of the fiscal economies of tho
administration, mentions one or two very inter
esting fsets. They are contained in the follow
ing extract:
Take the single article of whisky. Tho total
quantity on which revenue taxes were collected
for the year ending June 3d, 1868 (i. e. under
President Johnson.) was only 6,709,546 gallons.
The revenue then was at the rate of two dollars
a gallon, and amounted, therefore, to between
thirteen and fourteen millions of dollars. On
the contrary, for the year ending June. 1869
the Bureau of Internal Revenue has had retnms
of annual taxes on do less than 65.009,331 gal
Ions of whisky 1
Again, compare the revenue receipts from
January to June, inclusive, for 186S, with those
of January to June, inclusive, in 1 >69. In the
former period the tax on whisky was two dollars
a gallon, in the latter only fifty cents : and yet,
despite this enormous advantage in favor of the
former period, its revenue receipts on the same
objects of taxation were less by *21,.500,000
than those of the same period in 1869 !
The increased revenue is due, of course, sim
ply to the redaction of the tax. A tax of two
dollars on the gallon could not be collected. That
we- the persistent representation of every news
paper and politician of any practical sense, and
here we see it illustrated by figures, showing
that whereas the two dollar tax was collected
only upon 6,709,54G gallons, tho fifty cent tax
was collected on 62,009,331 gallons. But it was
a tax confessedly not for rovenne but levied in
tho high interests of morality and total ab
stinence.
The effort now is among the liquor dealers to
restore the old tax of two dollars, and it is easily
explained. Under it they really escaped with
an average tax of not more than twenty cents
per gallon, because, as the figures show, the
great bulk of the whiskey product escaped tax
altogether. But while thus escaping the tax the
prices of their liquors were to a great extent
fixed by the tax. They were not often mnch
below the two dollars per gallon.
The exorbitant tax, then, operated for the
benefit of the whisky makers in tho nature of a
protective tariff of extraordinary efficiency. It
sent up their wares more than ono hundred per
cent, on prime cost, including the tax, and thus,
in order to collect “between thirteen and four
teen millions of revenue,” for tho government
from the people, the latter vyere fleeced moro than
sixty-two millions for tho benefit of the whisky
manufacturers.
It is not surprising that the distillers insist
that the tax shall bo raised again. They are
now paying thirty-one millions tax, when they
used to pay but thirteen. ’Whisky was then
about two dollars a gallon on twenty cents tax,
whereas it is now n little upwards of one dollar
with fifty cents tax. Tho difference is some
thing stupendous, and no wonder the whisky
men complain.
But It is a wonder that the Kew York Times
cannot find a better foundation for compliments
to the Grant administration than the inevitable I

retarv of tbe Treasury.

Edgar Snoden, editor of the Alexandria Gazette.— {
Mr. Snowden opposes the election of Senators nntil ;
Virginia is restored, but if the election does take !

Commander Luce reports from Lisbon that he |
reached that port in twenty-one days. His vessel,
the Juniata, is a success as a sailing vessel. The !
Juniata found the Sabine at Lisbon. There had
been no trouble whatever on the Sabine.
Revenue receipts to-day $305,000.
Fish and Delano have returned.
Fish an l Creswell were absent from the Cabinet

The Supreme Court convenes on Monday, with a

Commandant of the Asiatic Squadron reports the

Delano thinks Geary will be re-elected by a small

Tbe debt statement shows a decrease or seven

The eteamer Enterpe, of the New York and Gal
veston line, is tinder BnrveiUnee, pending instruc
tions from Washington. She had a cargo of huge
parrot guns, tons upon tons of solid shot and shell.
The authorities suspect this cargo is intended to
arm the Spanish gun boats now ready for sea. Tbe
account says there are just thirty of these gun boats,
and singularly enough there were found in the hold
of the Enterpe just thirty of these hundred pound
parrot guns. There were also three thousand solid
shot and shell, which had been cast for these same
parrots. Tho Tribune says editorially of the En-
terpe'a detention: The authorities have just laid
hands upon a vessel which, by all accounts, appears
to have been destined to supply with armaments
the Spanish gun boats at Mystic. The possibility
that great harm might have been and may be done
thereby to tho cause of struggling patriotism, na
turally provokes a most earnest deairs that no want
of vigilance shall permit a wrong to an neighbor
whose comparative weakness and whose noble as
pirations have our hearty sympathies. The plea of
the Cubans, that they should havo the same right
to purchase arms as their savage antagonists, must
be admitted in the light of menacing events to have
unusual force.

Nashville, September 28.—Tho Legislature
convenes next Monday, and early in the suc
ceeding week will elect a United States Senator.
At this early day the following events can be
predicted with reasonable certainty of their ful
fillment:
1. Andrew Johnson will be elected Senator.
2. The fifteenth amendment will not be rat
ified.
3. A constitutional convention will bo called
who bare no connection with tbe Cuban Junta that
baa been operating here. The Hornet is formidable
and very fast.
From New York
New Yoar, October 1.—Wall street continued
quiet to-day, except towards the doss, when the
stock market waa unsettled by rumors of the losses
of tho Michigan Southern Company, by tbe late
panic.
No new developments on the gold question.
Many millions of Friday's contracts wore settled to
st an early day, which body will effect the en- I day, and tbe end of the complication is drawing
franchiscment of every disfranchised person in
the Stato at the earliest practicable moment, but
will not interfere with the civil and political
rights of tho negro.
4. Tho bonds of tho Stato will not bo repudi
ated, although earnest advocates for.snch a
measure will not be wanting.
5. The partisan legislation of the last few
years will be generally repealed.
These are the main questions to come before
the Legislature and the convention growinjaout
of it Tho fight over tho Senatorship will be
fieroe, but the result can be told in advance.
The new Legislature will contain an abler set of
men than has over been found in tho Tennessee
General Assembly before.
Tho Press and Times, the Radical organ of I
this oity, will suspend in a day or two, leaving
not * single daily Radical paper in the State, as
Brownlow'a Whig has become quite conserva
tive.
Tho collapse of Radicalism in Tsnnosseo is as
effectual as that of a mammoth balloon bursting
from over-inflation.
Matters nro quiet throughout the State.
That, it will bo seen, is a Tory bold and con
fident prediction, and tho fulfillment of the
prophecy, us a whole, we believe, will be gene
rally gratifying to the Southern Democracy.
Whatever infirmities of temper may be as
cribed to Sir. Johnson, he is an honest and in
corruptible statesman—a clenr and powerful ex
ponent of constitutional liborty—a bold and in
trepid advocate of law, order and official re
sponsibility, nnd he will find few or no compeers
in tho Senato of tho United States on tho scores
of intellectual ability, experience and power as a
debater. We believe Tennessee will do herself
and the country a service by returning Mr.
Johnson to the Senate, and we do not compre
hend the influences which have thrown the
Nashville Banner in opposition to him.
Tho rest of the programme there can bo little
division about among Democrats.

from Houston says the so-called Democratic Con

merits. I became interested with Dr. Groves last spring in the introduction of iortr-fivo bushels in tho
vicinity of Knoxville. I confess I had some misgivings as to their sueeeaa South, notwithstanding their su
perior qualities over all other varieties seemed to bo thoroughly established in the North, for I had observed
some doubts expressed by members of the New York Farmers’ Club as to their being grown successfully in
>ho 800th. In order, however, to make a full and fair teat of what they would do in our climate and soil we
concluded to scatter thorn among a number of planters in different localities and on different kinds oriands
Hence I am enabled to speak of their success on a variety of soils, having furnished aecd to twelve planters
in this and adjoining counties. Tho various crops having now been harvested, and having seen a large nor-
w«T>„r>-o tion of them since and b-foro tho harvesting. T am prepared to say that tho Norway Oata hare proved an

that tho Copperheads are bushwhacking. He

The reports from tho interior continno to bo
of tbe most cheering character. Increased en
ergy and activity aro shown in all quarters. A
close count of the vote is being made in many
sections so accurately that the result can be de

cable to have saved that Stato, even nfter
tho insane quarrel which rent the Republican
party; had tho Administration been allowed to
exert its influence and power to that end, it
might havo secured a pledge from the rebels en
franchised by Senter that they would ratify the
XVth Amendment. But it was virtually con
strained to favor Stokes after he was deader than
any door nail can be; and the net result of that
folly is the loss of Tennessee's vote on the Main
Question.
We insist that there be no more of this; for,
ns the lean boarder told his landlady touching
her bedbugs, “I really haven't the blood to
spare.” We have nothing to say as to the pref
erence of any Texas voter for Davis over Ham
ilton : that is his own affair altogether. If Da
vis shall be selected, very well; bnt if the Ad
ministration is made to remove and appoint
Federal officers in his behalf, and thus to exas
perate tbe Hamilton party so that a good part
of it shall be set against the Fifteenth Amend
ment, and if that party shall triumph, maugre
all tho efforts made at Washington to defeat it
(which are just as likely to help as to harm) and
the vote of Texas for the Amendment shall thus
be lost, why then we shall protest against the
impolicy that finds favor in high places as little
short of idiotic.
We repeat that the decisive triumphs of the
Administration, if triumph it shall, must be the
ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment and
tho funding at low interest of the national debt.
Whoever favors the Fifteenth Amendment is a
virtual supporter of Gen. Grant, and. without
suspicions scrutiny of his motive, should be wel
comed and treated as sneh. A Government
cannot afford to narrow the platform on which

to mow for me, with a view of testing them in our soil and climate, nnd while growing and hnrvesting they
have been the wonder and admiration of all Who havoee'n them. They were sown 15th to 20th of March,
and the yield Is three timo3 greater thin that of other oats inthesame land. Parties who har© not hesitate!
to pronounce them snatnbu? n re now willing to accord to them nil you claim. They overcome a difficulty in
the production of soullgrains in this country on our rich lands, being capable of the highest cnltnre on deep

heads. Many new and good varieties have been introduced into the South, but have not the strength of

Bn I a Su: About the first of Fcbruiry last.I ordered from your agent, in New York five bush»l» of
yon-Norway Oat, I received them about the first of February, and sowed them immediately on five aero,
of Tennaa.ee River land, and cut them about tbe 15th of July. I think when thrashed I shall have about 140
bnshet* to tho acre. The average heiebt of theoats wa, orerSfoet 6 inehe». The bead, will aver,go from
18 to 22 ioehea in length, »ith from five to eix hundred grains to the head. The representations in your cir-

are null adapted to this climate and roil. I am satisfied thoy arc an improvement of vast importance to the

yield was four bushels and one p : nt to tho dorm, or over one-f-urth bushels to tho sheaf. Owing to the hnrd
stem*her one-third of my oat« from out. Wo have had the longest nnd most disastrous drought we ever hsd
in 'his country, h.rinr no rain rcareely. sinco M.iy first. If nro hid had no ordinary season, I would un
doubtedly have made two hundred bushels per Acre. If I live, next sevnn, I wilt give your oats a fair ton.

Grxtlihin : I have no hesitancy in saving that, after a careful examination of the Norway Oats, made
whilst growing in the field, and since harvested. I am satisfied that their introduction will be attended with
great benefit to onr farmers The increase in the yield i> fully 100 percent, over the other Tarictie*. and the
Duality is also better. The great strength of the straw preventing, to a great extent, lodging, especially adapt!
these oats to this latitude where severe wind storms nro not unusual during harvest season.

I purchased of you. last soring, one-half bushel of your new Oats, nnd the same were sown about the 10th of
April on about half an acre of errand in a frir state of cultivation. The result is fully up to my oxneotations
of this grain from vour description of them. Tho spring wa, backward and cold weather continued until
May 10th. which of course kept back the oa's. but after once startedtheyrarew ranidty. Mv neighborftrm-
ers admired them much, and estimate tbo yield from tbe half bushel at .9 bushels. Tho yield would have
been mnch heavier if sown in a clear patch. I pnt them in a reach orchard and tbe ground wa, too much
shaded. I heartily endorse and recommend them.
