But they would not allow a fair election. That is exactly what they do not desire. The new Southern game is to endeavor to intimidate, persecute and punish every citizen who claims a right to vote any other than the full Democratic ticket. This policy has been openly advocated by Wade Hampton in his speeches aud the ground has been boldly and, we may say, frankly taken that it is right to carry an election by fraud and intimidation which could not be carried by the Democracy in any other manner.

It would be an odious dereliction in the Legislature of Alabama, if, after the deliberate notice given of the designs of the ex-Rebels in November next it would allow the rights of the majority to be overborne by such means.

If any reliance is to be placed upon the figures furnished by the Bureau of Statistics, It appears that for the lattt fiscal year, from July, 1867, to July, 18G8, tbe vulue of the exports from this amounted to 1352,616,000, which was an Increase over the exports of the previous year to the amount of 018,141,890. During tbe same time the imports were to the value of and the decrease in the whole amount of Imports, as compared with the preceding year, was 141,215,777.

These are gold values. It will, therefore, be seen that, as far as the principle is concerned that your outgoes shall equal your In-bringtags if you desire to be bappy, there has leen obedience to it. We have sent to Europe goods exceeding, by $2,700,000, the value of the goods that we have imported. Comparatively speaking, in contrast with the figures of tbe preceding periods, it would appear that we bad tuade a difference in favor of retrenchment and economy against the wastefulness of former Tears. Sending forward more than eighteen millions of dollars worth of produce exceeding our exports of the previous year, and, becoming more prudent, we called for over forty-one millions less of foreign goods.

It is pleasant to contemplate these facts, but it would be much more agreeable if it could be shown that the difference between our exports and imports was greater than it is. Tbe mere margin of two millions and a half in our favor is very little. We want much more. It might be sufficient to maintain us in Independence, were it not for the unfortunate xtravagance of former years, which keeps us in debt. Our annual balance against Europe ought to be from twenty to a hundred millions.

Acting promptly, tbe Board ordered an inspection of the drove yards, and, by telegraph, requested Governors Fenton, of New York; Ward, of New Jersey, and Gkart, of Pennsylvania, to have all stock trains inspected at the principal stations along the railroad routes.
