THURSDAY MORNING. BEPT. 27. '83. -zvsnmv WttxtsDAY.

Sept. 21 The breadstuff markets were about as nearly steady as they could easily be under existing conditions of sentiment and speculation, dsveioping no no- i tioeable changes in temper or action. This, I in connection with the general deTelopment of the facts of tbe situation, might possibly be claimed as a point In favor of values, as receipts are falling off somewhat, and the taam of confidence is hardening. At a events there are no material changes. We publish in another column a very important yi.Mi on the European rye crop based on the statistics of the late Vienna Oram in ii i ami Among the masses of Central and Northern Europe rye is the most im portant bread crop, and the shortage tupple- T-'- njanting thai of 'wheat, makes a peculiarly interesting- situation.

Provisions were with out tone, but withal without noticeable ari- ations. Cotton was quiet. The livestock markets were quiet, but somewhat steadier. la New York money was steady. Govern- saent bonds were about stationary.

Foreign exchange was weak. Tbe stock market was steadier and a trifle higher. The heavy New York failures yesterday in woolen goods ware partly consequence of tbe late slaughter of woolen goods in that city by auction, but were also partly a result of pre-existing conditions which occa sioned a resort to those sxtraordinary forced ealea. That branch of trade baa been for long period nnder a cloud in tbe East, and it 1 not improbable that the situation will be rectified better by such rapid liquidation than by a waiting policy. At all events the reaction is mors quickly reached.

TEX HEQ40 AJTO HIS LEADXB. The earnestness and the eloquence of tbe address of Frederick Doco- las, published yesterday in the Coubiek-JouksaLs are not more re markable than its lack of definite conclu sions. It is still an open question why this convention was called. Certainly there is no good reason to object to such a gathering; it has educational influences to some extent, snd can lead to nothing evil. Conventions in this country do not disturb us; they merely give vent to feelings which, if suppressed, might work harm to the body politic; by all means, let us have conventions, instead of conspiracies.

But when men meet in this way they must at least furnish some Justification; it is not enough to ask for tolerance. They appeal to tbe intelligence and the conscience of tbe people at large, and they must, in addition to formulating their complaints. suggest remedies. Air. Uocglas has a number of grievances against society as at present constituted, but we fail to see that they are any more justly the complaint of the negro than of tbe white man.

The charges are that lawlessness pre vails and negroes more than white men are lynched that labor does not get its full share of tbe rewards of industry that though tbe South is prosperous the negro Still dwells in poverty that Ignorance prevails that the Freodman's bank robbed the negro and finally that the offices are not evenly distributed. In all of this there are some Just grounds for complaint, but Mr. Douglas is as far from presenting any adequate remedy a Durau or Herr Host. Labor is not fully rewarded, lawlessness Is not promptly punished. office-seeking la full of disappointment, but what adequate remedy is suggested) The trouble Ilea broader and deeper than Mr.

Douglas imagines. Tbe work to do can not be done in one generation. We must deal with things as they are, deal fairly, act honestly and keep strong and pure "our faith in time and that which shapes it to some perfect end." We grow Impatient and then become discouraged. We look too soon for results. We forget that the mills of the gods grind slowly; and because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily we harden our hearts.

The regeneration of society, we say to Mr. Do CO las in his work, as last week we said to the gentlemen of the Educational Convention, can not be accomplished by a manifesto. Tbe walls of ericho do not now fall down at the sound' of the trumpet Let us remember, when we enter on any crusade against ignorance or rice or Into! erance, against the powers of darkness in any shape, that for forty years the chil dren of Israel wandered in the wilderness and that of all the host who left Egypt only two reached the promised land. But more than this la needed. Let us determine clearly what we want.

This Hr. Douglas has not done. He Is mere ly preaching the gospel of discontent The condition of the negro depends bow on the negro himself. Before tbe law he stands the equal of the white man; with the white man he ah ares the fund and he holds the ballot, If his influence it limited, if his wealth does not increase, if he is shut out of office, the fault la with the negro. What will the negro do about it? We venture to throw out a few sug gestions, though we doubt if we can get a bearing.

First, then, let the negro become more industrious. Nowhere will labor, persist ent and Intelligent, tell more than in the South. The need of the South to-day Is Intelligent, trustworthy The labor question ia not one of race, not at aU. it Is Idle to deny the fact that the negroes of the South are Indolent They lack a certain persistency. they try to see bow Little labor is absolute It necessary to Their Idle hab its, their.

shlftlessoesa, may ba dne to alar- a i try, to me citmaic, to ignorance; wry certainly characterize the negro. It ought not to ba necessary to qualify this, for tbe statement carries its own qualification. There are industrious negroes, steady In their work, careful in their ex pendi tares, wbo labor and accunra late something every year. Why do they not buy tbe cheap lands of tbe South, with which they are acquainted? air. DovovjkM urges them to occupy Govern- ment land, in the West, tad it strange ther have not done this.

In the South they bare bought little land, not because white men will not sell, but because the black man will not or can not pay. Mr. Douglass says, somewhat Inconclusively: Let us loos candidly at the matter. While we i and hear that the South la more prosperous than It aver was before and rapidly recovering from the waste of war, while we reed that It raises more cotton, sujrar. rice, tobacco, corn and other valuable products than it twpro- doced before, bow happens It, we sternly ask.

that tba houses of its laborers art miserable huta. their clothes are rags and their food the coarsest and scantiest? How happens It that the land-owner Is becoming Tichar and tba laborer Implication is Irresistible that where the landlord la prosperous the laborer ought to share his prosperity, and whenever and wherever we find this Is not the ease there Is manifestly wrong somewhere." IIow happens It that everywhere we hear the same cry, the same complaints, from field and factory, from mines and rail- roads and telegraph offices, and if buta are more miserable in the South than else where, if clothes more ragged and food scantier it is because the laborer is lower there, his labor ia less valuable and his services less productive. Tbe negro needs to be taught, first of all he needs to be taught to labor. Labor is the key that opens all the golden gates. Again we would say, in no spirit of un friendly criticism, that the negro be taught that Immorality is expensive, that drunkenness is a curse, that politics do not pay, that it is a crime against his race and his country to sell a rote.

Teach him first of all the family virtues, make him understand that after all it is the family and not the Individual who Is the unit in this society of ours. Again, though this is no concern of ours, though we are not trading for the negro vote, though we have no pledges to give, we say frankly it ia best for tbe negro, best for the South, best for both parties, best for the country at large, that he negro vote divide. We do not say "be but that of itself it divide. it too long "been looked on as the pri rate property of the Republican party. Tbe evil influence of this solidity is appa rent everywhere.

Let it end. Hr. Douglas well says it ia no crime to seek office, but we say it Is a mistake, and in politics a mistake is a crime it is a mis take, we say, to seek office purely on grounds of color. Here lies tbe danger, and it will not grow less until tbe colored vote is divided, until negro leaders oppose one another on political issues, unto such contests allow the passions and prejudices to die out. judge Kellst, alias Fig-iron Kkllkt, declares that be will urge immediate repeal of the taxes on whisky and tobacco daring the next session of Congress.

The Philadelphia Record has this to say upon the subject: "In view of the fact that tbe next House will be Democratic by- a large majority, and that Judge Kxuxt will not be Chairman of tbe Com mittee of Ways and Mean, this declaration of independence could be made with much safety. When eloquently appealing for the removal of the Internal revenue system in behalf of tbe camphor-bottle of tbe wife and mother and tbe poor man's tobacco-pipe. Judge Kelley loses from ehrht the hundreds of millions that are annually extorted from the consumers of the country la the form of, incidental taxation through the protective syst'in. when Judge Kkllkt come to make war upon the whisky tax In tbe next Congress he will be confronted by the following array: "The advocates of tariff revision, who Insist that the protective duties on imports moat be re duced before the internal taxes are repealed. "Tbe diaUUers and rectifiers of whisky, who are protected from dangerous competition by the tax, and the holders of Urge quantities of whisky upon which the tax is paid.

"The Representatives from new England and of New England sentiment in tbe far West, who bold that repeal of the tax and consequent cheapening of whisky would afford encourage ment to Intemperance. The Representatives who, on economical grounds, maintain that whisky and tobacco as luxuries, and not nscesssriss of life, are proper objects of taxation. "The official class, for whom the repeal of the Internal Revenue system would Increase tbe fierce competition for places under Government. "These are the elements, placed In order of their importance, that will found ia opposition to repeal of the Internal Revenue system in the next Congress. Within them will be found at least two-thirds of the members of the House, instead of vainly seeking Immediate repeal of tbe Internal taxes.

Judge Keluct might carry majority with him for a substantial reduction of the tax on spirits. If the tax on spirits was re duced to the reasonable rate of fifty cents a gal lon the manufacturing chemists of this country, wbo consnme large quantities of alcohol, would be much better able to compete with foreign rivals in tbe mar ket of the world. By this reduction the rev enue from whisky would be little diminished. since the tax would be mors closely collected. as was experienced formerly when the tax was fifty cents gallon.

"In addition to the above reasons why the whisky tax will not be repealed there is a reason why It can not be Immediately repealed. The sudden loss of $140,000,000 or $150,000,000 of annual revenue would bring the Treasury peril ously close to a aenclt. Asa financial measure, then, the Immediate repeal of the internal rev- eooe system Is not to be thought of. It win neither be recommended by the President and Secretary of the Treasury nor meet with serious consideration la Congress, and Its advocates may as well give It" Ths New York Times sums up the ac tion of the Republican convention of that State in these words: "The convention.

Mr. Atkinson and bis wife lelt borne in the early morning, and drove to the rai-way station, some miles distant. When they left. Miss Lucy and Miss Ada were tbe only occupants of the homestead, tbe latter oeins; the younger of the two slaters. After dinner Miss Lucy Atkinson concluded to make a visit to tbe town of Oxford, a few miles distant, and left her sister alone.

This seems to be tbe last time tbe crl was seen alive save by ber murderer. About 5 in the evening Miss Atkinson returned from the town, and going through the lower part of the bouse, was unable to find ber sister Ada. She next went up to their bed-room, where sbe found ber i er lying on tbe floor cov ered with blooi. She gave an alarm, which summoned an old man wbo was at work near at band, ai to him sbe related what sbe had seen. A passing neighbor was hailed.

Ex. Gov. Talbott, Chairman of the State Board of Health and Chanty, under date of tbe Slst writes Gov. Butler stating that tbe latter's demand for certain cash-books and a ledger relating to the account of the Superintendent of the Outdoor Poor has been referred to him, and be (Talbott) declines to deliver them, because the Governor has no legal authority to demand them.

Talbot protests against such an ex parte investigation. Tbe Superintendent of Outdoor Poor should have an opportunity for tbe explanation of his accounts, and tbe board is disposed to encourage any investigation necessary. In fact, the Governor never replied to tbe request made of him by the board but June, that be should present specific charges of misconduct against any odicers of tbe board. Tbe board is tbe proper body to investigate ail charges, and any other metnod of procedure is unwarranted by law, in violation of the proprieties of official life and unjust to tbe officers whose conduct may be called in question.

Three Favorites Downed In Sanli Succession to the Delight ef the 8pMUtoraV Lord Eiwird Surrender, to Annie fL ICodesty to lions, and Obenneyer to John Darla, But Beechenbrook and The Admiral the Come to the Rstcue of Knowing Ones.

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS. The crowd at the races yesterday was not as large as on Tuesday, but there were folly 5,000 people present, and tbe enthusiasm would have dune credit to twice that nam-ber. The sky and the temperature were perfect, the sport exciting, the betting lively, and there was nothing to detract from the day's pleasure but tbe dosty was slow, and at times sent np such clouds of dost that tbe flying horses were hidden from view. There was something to be appreciated even about this drawback, for the second of delightful uncertainty during tbe obscuration of the thoroughbreds gave additional seat to tbe contests. In the five-eighths dash, for two-year-old fillies, for instance, every one was in the' dark as to the leader all the way down the chute, but when Mona, at the head of the stretch, burst, into the sunlight from the dense cloud and came tearing down to' the finish, with the long trail of dust behind her, for all tbe world like a sky-rocket, no one could help catching the general enthusiasm.

It was such a strange sight, -and such a beautiful one, that the cheers and applause were twice as loud, twice as long and twice as hearty as they would have been had the little filly ran away from ber field in plain view. Another odd thing about the day's sport was that the first race, between a half dozen crabs, contributed the only exciting and hotly contested finishes of the day. In the second and third heats, Annie Malasine and Zilpab, by their grand struggles, came near making racehorses of tbeiuselves for the moment, and tbe delighted spectators went wild with enthusiasm. Annie G. 'a victory was popular and wall earned.

It was tbe urst day of tba meeting' upon which the favorites were downed to any great extent. Lord Edward, Modesty, Obenneyer, all went under before tbe Bonnie Scotland Beechenbrook came" to the rescue of tbe speculators and turned tbe tide. This race and tbe last, in which The Admiral bad a soft thing, were tbe only ones where the ''first choices'' came up to tbe expectations of their backers. John Davis' victory in the mile and a quarter dash was well won and roundly applauded. The old horse won hosts of friends by his great race of last spring and be will no be neglected here hereafter.

Tbe races in detail are given below i rnsT maca. The sport began with a selling race for $350, mile heata. The entries and pools were as follows: Lord Edward, 1100; Annie $90; Malasine. $20, and tbe field, Zilpah, Twilight and Egyptian, $16. A strong tip was circulating around before the heat on Annie and she ran np rapidly in tbe pools.

Tbey were given a good start at the second attempt, the favorite showing a little in front, followed by Malasine, yjipsJi, Annie Twilight and Egyptian, as named. Lord Edward was quickly pulled back to fourth place, and Zilpah running out of the pack, set the pace around tbe turn, leading a good length at tbe quarter, with Egyptian second. Twilight third, tbe favorite, Annip G. and Malasine bunched in the rear. Down the back stretch and around the lower turn there was no material change, but at the three-quarter pole Lord Edward and Annie G.

came np and challenged the leader. They could never reach her, however, and coming on in an easy gallop sbe took the beat aa aha pie ased by a length in 1:47, Lord Edward second, three lengths better than Annie Malasine fourth, Twilight and Egyptian in tbe rear. Second Heat There was a great rush to tbe pooling sheds as soon as ton bell sounded, and the hedging waa fast and furious. Zil- pab at first brought more than the entire field, but soon settled down at $125 to $150 for tbe rest. Tbe book-makers offered even money against her.

At the start the drum tap caugut Lord Edward with his bead in tbe wrong direction and be got the worst of a poor start, Zilpah getting away first and setting tbe pace as before. Annie G. Imrne diateiy challenged the leader and pushed ber bard from the start. Malasine swung into third place, and in this order they ran pas the quarter, down tbe back stretch and around the turn. Lord Edward here made an enTort to close np tbe wide gap between him and tbe leaders, but failed and fell to the rear hopelessly beaten.

Twilight and Egyptian were never in the race, wnich was now between the three leaders. Zilpah still showed in front as tbey entered the stretch, but sbe was tiring rapidly and soon surrendered to Malasine and Annie 0., who drew away from her and dashed neck and neck for tbe It waa a splendid finish. Malasine had bis nose at Annie's shoulder and was gaining at every stride, but the wire waa too near, and tbe Longfellow mare landed winner of tbe beat by a short head ba a second Detter tnan tne urst heat. ZUpab was fair third, Egyptian a bad fourth, and Twilight and the favorite were distanced. Third, Heat Annie G.

now became tbo first, but and only choice of tbe specula tors, and brought $300 to $100 for Zilpah. Annie G. took the lead at the start, led a length at tbe quarter, and went down tbe stretch at a rapid pace. Zilpah came alongside as they, neared the three-quarter pole, and beaded, tbe mare aa ther turned into the stretch, McLaughlin now gave Annie tbe whip, and a magnificent race to the wire ensued. Annie G.

took ber punishment grandly. Though she was evidently the wearier of the two, sbe bung on, and in the butt three strides shoved ber nose in front, winning tbe beat and race in 1:47. Summary. FiasT Selling race, for a purse of $350, of wnkh founto- second, usual conditions; mile heata. J.
