I$7S 18711-
We wish all oar Trailers a very hap
py new year. The <>!<} ye*r 1878 left
ms without any unusual demonstration
except a copious tliQWcrof tears as the
01<J and ll#o New met.
In a retrospect of the pi&t year we
Had u great n#*qy things jth.it were
hard anil oppressive, but '-nr powers of
endurance were sufficient to overcome
the evil, and the corresponding g'd
yielded a pleasure and happiness s.-l
dotu experienced.
We have had wars, crime, disease,
deaths, “and all the ills t nit flesfy is
heir to'; and we have had p ace and
pardon, health and life in abundant
measure. We have seen grace, mercy,
and peace # and charity esempl fiel by
the kind offices of our Northern IViei ds
during the terrible fever scoip-ge of
the South.
Wit have had a great harvest—the
larg'-st *n years ; our cribs and barn
overflowing, our i.,e-essitles all p <>-
vided for. Upon the whole, we can
iay of the year 1878, “well done good
and faithful servant/’
The fft dre is big with gl irrons pos
sibilities ; the year 1879 comes in un
der auspicious circumstances. Let us
who make tU; warp and woof of time
bo circumspect Tn all our walks ami
acts. “Let ajl tl;e ends we ai n at
be oyr God's ogr coup try’s and truths.’
Let cm legal, social and mora 1 obli
gations be met, so that when the sun
sets on the year 187® forever, we will
feel like one who “ wiaps the drapery
of his couch around him and lies clown

Disfranchisement of the Negro.
Air. A- M. Gibson, a correspondent
of the New York Sun, writing from
Washin gton # speaks 4s follows on the
subject of disfranchising the negro :
“Tee south his twenty representa
tives based on negro votes. Jf these
yotes are?.) count for nothing, save
t i ild representti n> to the south, then
t'ne north wiij dem -pd that something
be done. Tne n *rt.. pys the greater
prop ortion of tax* s, and it will not have
its money voted away to disadvantage
by these twenty additional representa
tives, which ju effect give ihe s mth
tin* conltol of the government.
The reply to this by southern men
is : “You amended the constit’i ion,
and imposed negro suffrage upon us,
and we have suffer#4 immeasurable
evils 'hereby. Now that the advan
tage is to be reaped by us, you want
to undo what you have done. We bad
no cho ce in the matter but had to
take a very lqrge portion ofevjl to get
a little good, and we mean to hold on
to that little/'
All the indications noyr point to an
agitation at no late day tor the dis
franchisement of the negro, and the re
publicans will deliberately propose it.
Avery prominent iepublic.an said to
me the otner day : ‘ If we could only
get r cl of .th's negro question, we could
wlrp the democrats every time/ lie
meant that the additional electoral vote
which tin* south gets upon is incre iscd
representation make the Presidential
fight doubtful. Get rid of this increase'
of the electoral vote which the south
secuns through its negro vote, and
the republican parly will be strong
enough to win )Dtb mjt a very Hard
fight. The proposed negro national
Convention is a s'ep in this direction.
It is a political move in the disfran
chisem nt of the negro/
Our worthy contemporary, the At
lanta Coestituii >u, adds the follow ng
remarks to the above, which are to the
point :
This is a very pretty proposition, but
it is only what we h tve predicted tin**
am] again. There is no sort of doubt
that when the republicans perceive that
the negro vote can be controlled by the
democrats they will proceed to rob
bi n of the right of suffrage, and thus
reduce thp representation of the south.
But the qttempjt will fail Jb'tweeu the
northern republicans and the rights of
,tho negro the solid soudj will stand as
a protect? >n, and she will be invincible.
The vote of the negro is invaluable to
ns as a s •ci on, and we propose that In*
shall exercise all the rights guaranteed
him by the constitutional amendn# mts.
It pul lie ms miy k ; ck against tins con
dition of things it they choose, but
the result is inevitable. The negro
will not only vote the democratic tick
et, but he will retain his right of suf
frage,

LETTER FROM ATHENS.
Athens, Ga., Dee. 17, 1878.
Mr Editor—l must say that one
of the most surprising articles I havi
read in many a day is Blaine's recent
big speech with regard to Soiith- rn
representation. R ally he makes it
nppeur that such a thing as honesty in
political affairs is an cx -eedinglv scarce
commodity at the South But by
what peculiar logic does he make out
our Son’.h'-rn elections to be such a
moiistro -ity of unfairness and inti mi—
dat'o'i! lie either arrives at h : s con
clusions without any premises at all, or
else he draws universal conclusions
Mom particular pnm aes. For instance
he mentions the face that thirty-five <>f
nur representatives are apportioned t *
us by reason of the colored pop ill ition.
and then he .guvs that the entire poliii
cal power thus fonnde 1 on the num
bers of the colored people has been
s iz and and appropriated to the aggran
dizement ot its owy str *ngth by the
Democratic party of the S mth. Bv
what .u# tli id of reas.-piiig does ie
thus concludes ! lie has laid down’ll •
premise, and how then can he arrive
at so broad and po-j ive conclusion?
The method suggests itsdf from the
general tenor of his whole speech,—
Tne circ mist mce may be thus ex
plained : Nearly all the colored voters
of the South, looking m u*e narrowly
than heretofore t<> their own inte.rer
ests, have voted the Democratic ticket.
This is more than Mr. Blaine and his
party at the North bargained for. And
therefore in order to stir up the Norih
ern sentiments by tales of injustic
done tl*e negroes, he makes the fore
going bold assertion Summing up
theg’stofall tbit the distinguished
gentleman s we are obliged to in
f r that the substance of his tyliole
argument is deduced fron? the lollow
ing implied syllogism :
“The i oloreil population of the South
ought to have voted a soli 1 Republican
ticket. They did not so vote, Hence
they were deprived of their rights at
the ballot box l>v S 'i.tlru n white men/
Su di a conclus on drawn from sue'*
prern ses w til ! v*ry we l suit the
minds of those Northern Republicans
wliose po’it'oal schemes ar.* seriously
interfere I with by the 1-rge Democrat
io vote. But for us at the S uith who
iietter understand ili-* political inter
ests of both black and white, and who
know a little more than Mr. Blaine, I
expect, about the allege I intimidations
o! colored voters it is very easy to
see the fallacy of the ptvm'seof the
syllogism, aud therefore the i npossi
bil ty of the conclusi m.
Again Blaine goes ou to e’tt a
group of S mtheru States which have
in the aggregate seventeen represent i'
lives—eight by reason ot the whites
and i/ne by of the c oh red vo
ters. But because these Spates elected
Democratic representatives, a.ul tor
other reasons, lie says that “io the
choice of the entire seventeen repre
sentatives, the col >yu *l voters h*d no
more voice or power thao their remote
kindred on tin* shores of Sen<*gambia.’
llow aHtom'fching that a sensible man
shou’d employ such unh *ard of logic.
Then another group of Stit* s i-< ta
ken and because the seventeen Rep
resentatives of these are also Demo
crats he imblushiugly declares that the
negroes of these S ates ‘hue not able
to eh ©os" a single Benivsentat ve, the
white I) uiocrats choosing the ivhul •
s *ventcen.
S mply for tho reason that the ma
jority of the negro *s have seen fit to
vote the Demo ra ic ticket, an 1 be
cause there were some few intimida
tions at elections in South C trolin *
and Lou is Jang, Mr. Blaine un warrant**
ably lays and *wn ill* proposition with
out qualification that the entire negro
population of the South are fore and to
vote as the white Democrats want
them to vot<*. lie asserts in calumni
ating language that the negro's 'right
of suffrage js but a hollow mockery ;
it holds to his ear the word of promise,
but breaks it always to his hope, an I
he ends only in being made the un
willing instrument of increasing the
political strength of that party from
w hich he received ever-lightening fet
ters when he was a slave, and con
tmnptuous ref usal of civil l ight- s nee
he was made free. Th * franchise in
tended tor his shi id and defence has
been turned against him and against
his friends, ad has vastly increased
the power of tnose from whon# hs has
nothing to h >pe but everything t)
dread/
Who bag <JeJtided the p ior negro
so much as the Republican paitv of
tho North ? An 1 that to >, for tiiesoh*
purpose of procuring his vote. F*>r
years has this party been endeavoring
to mike hitn a political tool for itself
and to persuade him that Ids interests
are separate and distinct fro n those of
that party and po<>pl<*, whose prosper
ity is the very sustenance ami life of
the negro. This is tin* basis of his
prom sed hopes which end in his con
stant disappointment.
Wliero is the proof that the civil
rights of the negro are defied to him
by the Democratic party oj the S mth?
Is it In cag . s of unjust intim
il it ion to wh ch the nnsees of the
Southern people arc as much opposed
as Blaine or any >her Nortneru mm
cau t>e ? And as his Iri- n ls, we would
like to ask who can be mme *s friends
than those interests ar - identical with
his, among wh in lie lives, fr. n* whom
he obtains employment, and t> whom
his services are alm’ist imlispe isalile ?
Is it p issihle that those who bear such
relations as these to the negro can
have any desire to oppress of destroy
him? Tie colore 1 peop'e are at last
becoming convinced as to their tin**
situ ition Timy are learning that their
interest is the success, polincilly aud
otherwise, of the prevailing puty at
the South. To* ir eyes are opening t
tin* fact that the Northern neopit* who
know so little of the manners, necessi
ties, ami interests <d th>s* who are
born and raised m the Su my South
oann >t legislate to the advantage of
the negro half so well as those who
live in the same cli no. And he.*.ce th ■
darkbs are voting in their own inter
ests when they vote in that of their
Southern fii nds. 'l'hey are beginni *g
to abandon ihe Northern R p ih icans
who have for along while been coaxing
and hoax ng then on in the Republi
can ranks with their pd iver an.nit *>e
ing the ivgrob s best friends, but
whom* motives were /inly to str. ugt I *-
on their pirty' But now that tne ne
groes see the folly of allowing'them
selves to be fed by these political
schemers they are turning >ver to the
party of their homes. And ties is
what is so gal ing to Blaine, and calls
forth his el >qnent attempt to virtually
disfran hise the negro, lie clearly in
ti notes that unless the Republican
party can have the benfit of'he negro's
vote 'hen lie ought not to be allowed
any repjrescntatio iat all. Ah! well,
no doubt he sees di- ippointment be
fore him in tne campaign or 1880, and
a good policy move now may be ol'
advantage to him.
Yours truly,
Student.

California and Cos orailo. At he r *cem

Kansas is increasing in population lias
hardly unequal in th*- history of Amer

California is in* r using in uopulatio i
with g? -at rapidity. Two years ago
m arly forty thousand votes were cast
in each of the four Cougression and <!is_
tricts, and it is c imputed that by 1880
there wi 1 be neatly, if not quite, one

New England will barely hold her own,
