€l)f Cri-UJEfKI* Star. Urima, urn.. Yov. », |Mft. Tm Eu#ctio*s.—The recent North- State endorsed the Radical conclave at Washington, The baser passions of the pwple were arousol, and frqtn their in tense hatred to the South, cared Mttla what her fate might be. \ The Rad leal party taking advantage of this, and to perpetuate their rule, endeavored to •tick negro suffrage into theieonstitu tion of the Northern States. After a sober second thought, the roaWs saw what these infamous Radicals wefe aim. ing at, aud by their Totes put a veto upon their policy. Ohio, the “bigger State” that gave the Radicals in the last election forty odd thousand majority, thie year defeated negro suffrage by ortr 50,0v0i-thus making a change of nearly lflft.ooo votes in one year. Eve ry other Northern State has deleated it that has voted on it Now York, which for some time has under Radical Rate, baa redeemed herself, and Radicalism is defeated by 40,0001 There are but few negroes in the Northern States, and they have had the advantages of an education, if they saw proper to obtain it; yet they are not trusted with the rights of suffrage. But the Northern people have seemed here tofore willing to entrust hundreds of thousands of ignorant babboons, who know no more of the theory of this Gov ernment, than aCaiuancho Indian, with the right of suffrage in the South, and by disfranchising a large portion of the whites, to give them the control of lb— Ohl shameless hypocraey 1 It remains to bs seen, whether the people of the North will sea a gallant people further degraded and oppressed, and the scats of the l’incknoys, of Calhoun, and of other bright names in the galaxy of American Statesmen, shall be filled by a big, greasy, stinking black Ape. Rxad and CovYour Shame, it Yon Ca».—To those recreant sons of the Sontb who are exulting over the ag grandisement of the negro and the des gradation of their own race in the late elections, we commend the follow views of a Northern Republican journal upon the huzzas over the result in Virginia. It says : In no manner and form do the peo-. pie of the North regard the recent elecs tion in thabStute as a triumph of loyal ty nnd a defeat of treason. They see in it only tbo degradation of a member of this union, who, from the establish ment of our independence, has been en deared to us by a thousand glorious as sociations. The disgusting spectacle of negroes voting like so many mechanical beings ; the keeping of polls open day after day and night for the expressed purpose of ensuring a Radical success ; the election to office of such men as Hunnicutt and bis gang of negro consti tution makers ; the antagonism of the two races as developed in the solid man ner in which they cost their votes, and the rude and defiant conduct of the blacks, excite our earnest fears and sym pathies-—fears, because from all these things we seo unuthcr irrepressible con flict arising, and sympathies, because the defeated party is composed solely of men of our own race aud of the intelligence and civilization of the State. Social Circle.—The Journal of Cominorce is reading a lecture to a good many peo ple who, it is certain, are living beyond their means, and thereby preparing the way to bankruptcy and ruin. The edv itor oalls on all suoh to moderate, aud thinks wives and daughters could, If they only would, make a good begin ning. lie says : It rests with the wives and children, oftentimes, wo are told, to iuitiate such n reform- as is needed. The head of a family.cannot find it in his heart to deny those around him that which he thinks essential to tfieir comfort, and ho will not ask them to save him. They must wove in the mat tor themaelves. Ilow many of our readers, whose eyes would glisten with tours at the bare thought of any trouble to one so kind to them, have ever asked themselves in earnest whether they were not personally respon sible for overtaxing the means of the provider? It is a good time to usk that question now. Business profits arc not largo ; financial affairs are unsettled ; the future is not altogether radiant with promise ; the deepest purso has been a little drained, and soino of the shal lower ones arc running iow. If exhaust ed there may come something worse than insolvency] or beggary. Tbo temptation to fraud and defalcation is very great in (hose times, and tlie spendthrift stands in thetthicket,t t, of the assault. There is a voice mightier than ours calling to all in tbo houso circle for their aid in this emergency, and we trust that many will listen to their pro fit Arkansas.—Cotton culture, says the Pine Bluff Dtspatch, will have to be abandoned. Cotton caunot bo picked at less than r a dollar a hundred, being equal to three and a half cents a pound for lint cotton, which, added to tbs tax, covers nearly half tbp market value of tbs product. It suggests wheat, corn and ceroals, which, with the raising of stock, would make the formats iodspen* dent of negro labor, for which they are now ruining themselves. TBLttißilUlt. Washington, Nov. 7.—Later returns show a majority in New York 0f40,000. Assembly Deinaer»tic by sight; Senate Republican by two. New Jersey Democratic overwhelm ingly. Returns from Wisconsin, Minnesota, MaasßcbtftMXts, and Kansas, show uni versal Democratic gains. General Emery, who commands the District Department, bin forbidden pas rades, but endorses an order stating that martial law no longer exists in the District, and don't see by what authori ty he can disarm and disband private military companies. This endosement passed back through General Grant to the President without comment. Dr. Seddun is pardoned. There seems no doubt that tbs state ment that General Grant is io harmony with the Republican party, as set forth in the Press and Chronicle of this morn ing, is made with Grant's consent. New Jersey Legislatures Senate—Re publicans, 10 ; Democrats, 11, House —Republicans, 15 ; Democrats, 30. The Ne# York Times claims 20 Re* publicans to 12 Democrats in the Sen ate, but acknowledges four Democratic majority in the Assembly. The Herald claims 12 Democratic in the Assembly. A reliable letter from Lancaster says Mr. Stevens ia worse, but that ha comes to Washington on Saturday iu a spe. cial train. Later frorafit. Thomas reports fifty vessels ashore. All the property of the Royal Mail steamship Company at St. Thomas destroyed. Steamer Rbiue, with all hands, lost; steamer Wye lost, but forty persons saved, including Cap tain Taylor and Mr. liodgison. The regular Southampton steamer, whi-h had sailed with cue hundred and fifty passengers, wus lost; only twelve save ed. In a reported conversation, Wade is repre-entod as saying that Congress would never modify the reconstruction laws, but would make them harder if the South did not behave better, lie is sorry about the Republican disposition to run Grant. Wnde says let him come out like a man, and show his princis pies. 1I« characterizes Stevens’ confis cation bills as unwise. Tburlow Weed’s wing of the Republicans have proclaim ed f«r Grant. This morning’s Tribune, in an article attributed to Greeley, is strongly for Chase, and deprecative of Grant s “General Grant we esteem by no means a great man, or even a very great Gens eral. The war being over, we can no longer carry elections by reading bul letins of Union victories, and exhorting the people to rally round the flag ; and those who are pushing General Grant for President will land just where the Whigs did with Scott in 1852, if they are allowed to havo their own way.— They utterly mistake the time of day." The National Presbyterian Union Convention is in session at Philadelphia. George U. Stuart ia President. Over three hundred delegates present, repre senting the old and new schools of the Dutch Reformed, Cumberland, and Re formed United Churches, The Agricultural Bureau Report for October says present indications place the ccttou crop at two und a half mil lions : ,it will certainly exceed two mil lions bales. The Louisiuna sugar yield is estimated at 20 per cent, over that last year. A decline in the tobacco crop U indi .on ted in the principal tobacco growing sections. New Orleans, Nov. 7 —R. King Cut ler bos organized the Union Party of Louisiana, which promulgates the plat form of universal suffrage, universal amnesty, universal education, and op position to confiscation. The New Or leans ——, and Republican chosen as tho official organ of the party. Rather singular, as the two papers fraternally call each other Confederate and malig nant loyalist, respectively. Both seem to regard the new party with suspicion, and uei ther covetous of the honor of be- 1 ing its official organ. All colored schools in this city under the control of tho freedmun's bureau, were yesterday turned over to the Board of Public School Directors. The trans fer includes teachers as well os pupils. The School] Board agrees to retain all teachers who prove themselves compe tent on examination.

The square manured with Guano yielded forty per cent, over the unmanured square ; and that manured with Baugh’s Raw Bone Super-Phosphate seventy five per cent, over the unmanured square.
