THE EASTMAN TIMES. M, I* BURCH* Editor & Proprietor THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1879. 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 io pleasant dreams 19 THE NEW JJJKY LAW, * We print the. act adopted by the Legislature in reference to the Jury haws, poubts are entertained here among the legal fraternity as to wheth er ah adjourned term ol the court can be beld under the old law This sys tem is superior to the old one. “An act to carry into ( fleet para graph 2, ,section 18, article 0, of the constitution of 1877, so as to provide for the election for the most gxpeij* enceed, intelligent and upright men to acryo as grand and petit jurors? a id of intelligent and upright men to serve traverso jurors, an I lor the drawing if juries.

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, “Bill Arp,’'in his humorous way, speaks as follows about “the man with city ways Taking it all in all, farm work is a pleasanter apd more varygated recre ation than crok-i or base baf, or play in drafts in a lawyer's offis. If there is now and then some misadventure, it aint to be compared to your mer chants and other city folks, working day and night twin to keep up with society and meet bank notes fidlin due.

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. The Progress .of the “Far West.” From careful computations male at 'Yas’iingfon and based largely on tin* recent v >te, it is found, that the States which arc in-Teas'ng fastest in p.pula ii mi arc* Kans is, Minnesota Nebraska California and Cos orailo. At he r *cem election the vote of Kansas a most equded that of d'exas in 1876, Pits denti.il year The rapidity with which Kansas is increasing in population lias hardly unequal in th*- history of Amer ican States Although u<t half sc large, she promises to outs rip Texa within five y-uns- On the Fac fi“. slope 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 hundred an 1 eighty-fjye thousand vo ters in that State. From indications the States which will-make the great est gains in members of Congress an*! elect >ral votes in the apportionment a Ter the next census wi’l he Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and Cdifornia- New England will barely hold her own, it that ; I knviseall the southern States except Arkmsas and Texas, which will show an increase, but tfle influx of the population in these Slates is al most entirely from the other Southern States.
