I Radical politicians, by way of ex- I3 laining their overwhelming defeat J1 i the election at St. Louis, assert lat the white voter3-German and v ihers-were so disgusted at finding lemselves in line with negroes at ie--polling-places that they either oted the Democratic ticket or went onie and did not vote at all. The ^ tplanation applies to part of the a tcts, but is too narrow to cover them ll; In heavy German wards, where ?1 ?ere are no negroes, the Radical 1 ?ss was larger than anywhere else, ., nd thousands of voters stayed at . ome, openly declaring that they ould not cast a vote which would a used as an indorsement of Grant 11 ad a rebuke of Schurz. But other L oters, no doubt, were influenced, as 11 ie Radicals assert, by dislike ol' j* egro suffrage. And now we beg ie.se Radical philosophers to tell us \' hy the very same cause does not ?count for the collapse of the Re- fj ublican party in the Southern Stales? ?P Ku-Klux bands are supposed to dst in St. Louis ; nobody alleges * lat the election was carried by intimidation." What reason is there s ?r ascribing Democratic victories ar ie South to other causes than those & hich appear sufficient to r?volu- ^N onize a city so Radical as St. Louis? 0 The truth-unwelcome to Repub- 11 cans, and yet undeniable-is begin ing; to force itself upon the attention f Radicals, namely, that negro sui .age everywhere turns white votes ? gainst the Reoublican party in pro- b ortion as it adds negro votes. Where 1 ie negro reinforcements are few thc d lepublican loss of white voters in ih onsequence is comparatively small ; 11 ut where the. negroes are numerous C( ie. white deserters from Republican ^ inks swell into an army. This fact, ) Republicans so distasteful, is the ^ ;cret of overwhelming Democratic ictories in States where the negro 11 ote is so large as to threaten entire B ontrol. If white men in St. Louis 15 0 not fancy voting by the side ol' egroes, is it wonderful that white j< ten in Southern States object to h eing ruled; artel represented by ne- 0 roes? Every- day the white vote 11 f the South is becoming more com- 13 jeiely united and consolidated un- c er the Democratic banner. No 11 intimidation" is needed to account v )r a result which we have seen in 8 forchern as well as Southern States, t: herever negro votes have been re- f ed upon to give the Republicans a ' lajority. Thus Indiana, usually a lose State, gave 9,572 Republican \J tajority at the last election., before f egroes were adopted to vote, and l ie Radical politicians boasted that v ne addition of thousands of colored ? oters would make the State im- u regnably Republican. The election a f 1870 came, and "the colored 11 .oops fought nobly," b,t\t ihe Denio ratic majority \X-as 2,558. Connec- d out paye ?,?41 majority for Grant c j, 1808? and 411 majority for Jewell t 1 April, 1S69 ; but in the. electron of jpril, 1870, imm.eclia.tely after the 0 doption of the tffteenth amendment, e ie majority for English was 84S ; Ucl at the recent election, in spite ? ? the addition of thousands of col- c. red voters, English is at the head of p m poll., in 1870, just before the t doption of the amendment, New .< Umpshire gave 1,853 Republican e raj orr ty ; now, with the addition of egro voters, the State gives a Demo- n ratic majority. So in New York, f: ie addition of thousands of negro f, otes only aided to reduce the Re- v ublican force from 4U.355 in 1868 v o 366,436 in 1870, and to increase g ie majority for Hoffman from 28, 00 to 33,000. ? If results like these have followed ? ie admission of negroes to the bal- j u )ttbox in Northern States, is it i ?< fcrange that at the South, where they % are far more numerous, where they j control many counties, and in some States hold undisputed mastery, the white vote should bp rapdlyaud almost unanimously concentrated against tho | Republicans? The fact is that suf frage was granted to the colored peo ple with intent to strengthen the Republican party, but it has every where had a contrary effect. As a weapon of party warfare negro suf frage kicks so terribly that it does more harm, at the breech than at the muzzle. These facts are a sufficient reply to those who assert that the Democratic party means to deprive the negroes of suffrage as soon as it gains power Democrats have no reason to disturb an amendment which tends to con centrate the whole white vote in their favor. And he would not be a rash man who should venture the predic tion that Republicans themselves Will be the first to denounce negro suffrage and demand its repeal, in the hope of saving their party from an impending destruction by mere loss of white votes.-New York "World There Remaineth a Rest.

Farmers complain that their sor Jo not take to the profession of the fathers kindly, but that a very larg per cent, of them drift into the citie and follow other occupations. Thi is true, and tie fault is, in half th cases with the farmers themselve; The reason fo:- this is that the Ameri can farmer i.-: too much oppresse* with the spirit of money getting ti make farm life pleasant, we knov of thousands who have broad acres immense houses, cattle, sheep, anc swine, and who, in addition to these treasures, haye their thousands anc tens of thousands in government bonds, or in mortgages, who live in a style far inferior to that of the hum blest mechanic-in the towns. Their houses are built not to gratify taste, or to yield pleasure to their inmates, but solely with an eye to conve nience ; the floors are uncarpeted, the windows are shadeless ; there are no books, no papers save one for market reports, no cheery furniture, DO piano or melodeon, no nothing to make life pleasant. Outside, the ;ame barren, hard appearance is manifest. Flowers are tabooed, there ire no ornamental trees, the barn is is severe in style as rigid economy unmake it; in short, everything is subservient to the one idea-profit. Is it any wonder that the boy born md reared amid such surroundings, iesires something better, so soon as ie discovers that there is something jetter? Is il any wonder that, see ng in towns luxuries, beauty and ?ste, he fancies mercantile pro essional pursuits must be better to ilford these things '?! Is it any won ler that, alter living a month among )leasant thing's that he should imbibe i distaste to the farm of his father, .nd the hard, close life led upon it? We wish to be understood. The armer who has debt on his hands, or rh ose farm lacks necessary improve nents has no business with any of his. Much better bare floors and vails than mortgages. Eut in mid He life, when the farm is paid for nd stocked, when there is money t interest, and the chances for fail ire have all been passed, the farmer ?'ho does not add to his house all iicse things is foolish indeed. There bould be in every such farm house s good furniture, as good carpets, as oud piano, and as good a library as ny townsman worth an equal amount, ossesses ; the sons and daughters liould be well educated, noe that hey may leave the farm, but that bey may make farm life pleasant and appy. There should bo just as good, nciety, and as much of. it, in the ountry as in the town. The social nstincts inherent in all should be ultivated ; there should be reading, here should bc discussions ; in short, whatever men of means find to amuse nd improve themselves in towns, len of means in the country should nd and practice. When all this is done, farmers sons rill seldom leave the noblest of all rofession?, for with these additions inning is the most pleasant life that ?in be led ; and for the same reason inners' daughters will prefer to ruar v farmers' sons, but not till then. jnerican Farm Journal. " Donf? Like My Business." Wo tako the following sensible [.tide from the Savannah News, d; len i ld: "We have remarked with pain ithin tho limited circle of our oung acquaintances a constant dis osition to chango from ono vocation ) another. It is manifested by the eneral remark that ' 1 don't like my usiness.' We refer to this matter ) inform our young friends that 1?re is no greater fallacy than that ntertainea by them, and thousands f others in tho South, that some lirsuit can bc found wholly suited D their ta :tes, whims and fancies, 'his philosopher's stone- "can never e discovered, and every one who lakes his life a search for it will be uined, yea, lamentably ruined." Let, therefore, the tact be always 2membered by the young, that no fe work cs.n bo found entirely agreea le to a man. One of the most in fligent and experienced men of lew York, who roso from poverty ) affluence and distinction, remarked i an address upon this subject, that access always lies at the top of a ill, and if wo would roach it, wc un do so only by hard, persevering ftort, while beset hy difficulties of very kind. Genius, he says, counts othing in the battle of life. Inter lined, coe; i nate perseverance in one ingle channel is everything.

We are allowed to see and eel the roughness in our own path ray, but not in others ; yet all nave hem. We admonish our young men 0 reflect upon these suggestions, nth the assurance that they will be ;reatly profited thereby. ? -?? .^??.?-i -Janesville, Wisconsin, is noted for ts smart boys.
