Bell, a colored loan of eonsidcrnble inlelli- genee, who Ims speni sonic time in Washington recently, anil who pro fesses lo lie po-leil ns to tlie views and feeling of lending colored men. According to his slntcmeift a confer ence was held in Washington at which were present Senator ltruec, of Mississippi, Wears and others well known, and tlie conclusion arrived al was tlmt ‘’tlie time hail eouie for the colored vote to demand recognition.” And how that is lo be done is thus stated by l’rof. Bell: “We ean see no better way for ns to assert ourselves than to ask tlie second place on the ticket. I/tiless that is granted it is very ijucstionnblc Where the negro vote will stand in tlie coining election. Many leading negroes think of ad vis ing tlie colored men to abstain from voting. They do not design to ad vance Democratic principles, so they advise this course as tlie best thing for the colored men. The idea is to let tlie white men light their own battle/’ That course,‘if pursued, would cer tainly defeat the Republican ticket, for as Prof. Bell truly says: “The negro is the balance of power iu Ohio, and without his vote the State cannot be carried for the Republicans.” The Cincinnati Knquirer says : “A deci ded majority of the white voters of Ohio arc Democrats. Nobody denies that. The colored voters give Ohio to the Republicans whenever they carry it. The Republicans cannot elect a President without the solid colored vote in Ohio, and vet the col ored voters arc not even accorded a delegate to Chicago. We believe they have one alternate." Politeness Recognized. Mr. Clare Sewell Read, one of the English Agricultural Comtnissioner.- who spent the past winter in this country, said to his constituents at IJiss, Norfolk, on his return to Eng land : “Ono thing struck Air. Pell and himself as a most curious fact.— The business men among the Ameri cans—men who had not a single mo ment to lose from their business— were most courteous aud attentive, -ind gave them ail tlie information which they required most kindly an I ■ cost promptly. Whether it was tin- most busy merchant on ’Change or a, railway official, who had not a mo ment of his time to spare, every 01 most courteously answered tho i quirics which were addressed to him. This was Ihe case with all the upp ;r classes of the Americans.” Alive After Burinl. The following extraordinary story is published in Charlotte, N. fro n Franklinton, over the signature Mr. J. W. Weaver, of tlmt town.— lie says Mrs. Martha Smith, of Chat ham, reports a remarkable case of suspended animation, burial and re urrcction in the person of a married lady in that county, who possessed gold watch and finger rings whir site often expressed a desire to liav buried with iter whenever she should die. Finally she wan taken ill and her life seemed gradually to ebb away until tier attending physician pro iioitiiced it extinct. At her burial her previously expressed desire was com plied with, and tin second niglitufler tlie interment a while man and a ne gro went lo tlie grave and exliuined her for tlie purpose of obtaining th buried jewelry. As they took tie lid olf tliecofliu and Ihe negro begun pulling off t ring from iter linger sit raised up. At tliis both men took fright and ran awav. Finally tin 1 negro went back, and she asked him what lie wanted. lie told’ Iter It wanted her rings anil Ihe while man her watch. She requested to see tin white innn, whom the negro soon found and brought to her. Slu: quested him to go home with her.— lie did so, anil when she reached the door she knocked. Iler hiishaud opened the door, hill tainted when lie saw her, thinking it was his dead wife’s ghost. Mrs. Hniitli says the lady is now living, and bids fair lo attain a good old age, and tlull sli visits ami is visited by her frequently Why is it that a woman’s heart heals fifteen times per minute less than ■ mail’s ? la it because her tongue heats lliirlt times per minute more' have been small at heel, and in many instances whole years have passed without payment of dividends by some of the largest and strongest ror- poratious in tlie Sla’e. it cannot lie truthfully snid that these results have been brought alioul by cureless or extravagant manage ment. The working force of all the mails with which I am acquainted, has In-on reduced to llio lowest possi ble point that would operate thorn.— Salaries have been reduced below the nine of service, if same men were mployed in oilier branches of busi ness. requiring efficiency, character ml service. Materials and supplies of all kinds have been bought closely ■even upon the low prices incident to the long and terrible depression through which we have passed, and tlie whole business of these great en terprises in the Stale has been man aged with that general ability that should enhance tho collective reputa tion of Ihe men having same in charge. During this entire period in whirli so much complaint against the roads has been engendered, I have liceti a iieatv shipper of goods, and at no time eoTtJii I have honestly aid that rates I lmd to pay were even more than adequate to the service performed. I will slate just here that I do not now, never have, and never expect to own a share of rail- oad stock: neither have I ever been, nor do I anticipate ill future Ihnt I slinll be employed in any way by any railroad in the world. My opinions are based upon that general knowl edge acquired by every man who keeps his eyes open to what is a rea sonable price for any articlo bought nr service performed. Tho doctrine of Slate sovereignty has been largely enshrined in tho po litical faith of our people front the early history of the State, but its in- voratiou in tit's instance will fail to impress its most elevated advocates with the correctness of either law or policy, which being destitute of right or justice seek their perpetuation by an appeal to sentiment or preju dice. Tbe advocates of tlie railroad com- missionc'rs' scheme, are proceeding upon the theory that tlie railroad have no rights that the State is bound to respect. It was conceived by pol iticians who havingbut personal ends to serve, thought the wav was open for successful appeal to the ear of the masses by raising the cry of extortion against tlie railroads, and then pass ing a law putting the absolute con trol of the fifty millions of money in vested iu these indispensable enter prises, in the hands of three men, neither of whom tins the necessary experience in railroad management to enable him to do justice to tbe railroads, while assuming to mitigntc tlte evils complained oi by an un thinking public. The subject of freight tariffs and general railroad management requires peculiar quali fications and cannot he. mastered or ompreltended without life-long slu ly and experience. I will say noth ing against tho character of tlie com- niis-iuners, nor would I reflect upon them in any way; neither will I in dulgc in that style of doubtful com pi intent so common iu these days. In dealing with public questions, Die actions aud qualification of ptihlii officials arc the just subject of fnir cri'icism Mr. Wallace was at one lime super intendent of the Western ami Atlan tic railroad, which belongs to the State, and a'. Dial time was operated by Die State. Why did he not then demonstrate the ' practicability of milking returns lo tlie treasury, un der Die scale of charges made out by Die commission for Die government of the railroads to-day ? What were Die charges of the Western and At lantic railroad then, as compared with Die charges the past five years? Were Ilicy less nr more? Would it not have been right and proper for tlie Stale then to have demonstrated with her own t-ond, under tlie iiinu- ngenieiit of Ihe nstute Mr. Wallace, Dial site could secure lo her poverty- stricken people, Die lieoii of siu-li cheap freights. Dili Mr. IVnllaee Dice know Ibal lie was “running riot" overtlindear peo ple? Ifnol, when did ho lourii so much about railroad management ?— I put lliese questions, liecauso ho was selected—as the people woro led to believe—ns tlie embodiment of rail road wisdom. My recollection is, ho has had lull little experience in rail road management since lie let slip tliis great opportunity to demonstrate tliis problem affecting Dm public good, while lie could have done it at public expense, which was proper.— I would suggest lo liitn Dial railroad ing now is as different from what it was when lie was on Die Slate road, us Die I’uited Stales mail is from tel egraphy. Mr. Biiriielt, I understand, is a most excellent gentlemnn, and a pains-tak ing, conscientious theorist, lml, I nm not informed Dint Im lias any pructi- cnl knowledge of railroad niannge- inont. Gov. Smith made iis a good Gov- oruor, anil Is well known as a lawyer of nhilily, hut judged liy tlie snmo rules Dial must determine Die fitness of men for any other position, save that of railroad commissioner for < icorgin. lie is ns much out of place as Mr. Wnillcy would lie upon tlie lietirli of the Supreme Court, These men are vested witli aliiiost supreme power, in determining questions Dial mm before them. No railroad nan mlest llieir decrees without incur ring heavy penalties. They are at once legislators, executioners and judges. If we admit all that is claim ed for Diem, then on railroad matters their powers are legislative, execu tive and judicial. Where did they get tliis wide range of power? I am not a law yer, but 1 fail to find au thority for it in Ihe constitution of the Slate. I fail lo discover their nu- iliorily—if Dint authority is traced to its source—to do more than prevent unjust discriminations, and extor tionate rates. Tlie right of appeal lo Die United ■Stales courts is one Dull any citizen of another Slate can make nt any time for Die adjudication of hi < rights. || is no new thing, and tint question of State rights has nothing to do with it. and the principle is not violated by it. If S’nle sovereignty can erect a des potism, so far us a specific interest in this Slate is concerned, and lodge su preme anil irresponsible power in a triumvirate, what will prevent an ap plication of the rule to other iuicr- o-its?anil in the end to nil, and iiudcr tlic specious plea of protecting Un people, dissolve every interest on whirli the development ot the Stale and Ihe foundation of ils industries depend. Tlie theory upon which Ibis whole business depends ignores the bartered rights of every railroad iu II.e Slate ; violates Die plighted faith of the State, made to Die difl'ureut ompunics, when the entire people were anxious lo have Die roads built .- destroys the vultie of fifty millions of property, owned largely by tlie fru gal classes of our own people; warns npitnl not to come under the ban of this diluted communism, which, by .prarlice, if not intent, is making pro perty a crime, if Die principle were right the policy is so manifestly wrong Dial Us adoption in a Slate of (iror- gia’s possibilities is criminally suici dal. Born and reared upon Die soil ot tliis State, one of a generation whose stnr seems to have risen on uu evil sky, I can hut deplore this whole bus iness as a stain upon Die honor ami a reflection upon the intelligence of her people. I believe tlie good senso of our people will render the permanent enforcement of this stupendous fully impossible, and in the end consign to obscurity the men who, underra ting the intelligence of tlie masses, have committed this crime against both their honor and prosperity.

They say that it is constantly to be found on tho toilet table of the Emperor, and under the pillows of statesmen and generals. The manner in which this curious or gan is printed is described at length by the St. Petersburg correspondent of the AianchcsterGunrdinn. The of fice is a gloomy, miserable room at the top of a house iu a poor locality. On the door is an announcement of some ficticious trade. The room is oc cupied l»y a poor wretch, formerly a student; it is wretchedly furnished. The boil occupies pretty nearly the entire room. Everything is mean and squalid.

Sympathy in a Horse. Au incident occurred on Die t’ol- iiinliia River, Oregon, Die oilier day, which strikingly illustrates tlie hu mane instincts and Hympnlhy which exist in animals. A number of horses were being taken aboard a steamer when one of llicm kicked another and broke its leg. It was decided to put tho poor nniiunl out of its misery, and it was dispatched by mi employe of Die boat with an ax.

A few moments professional exam ination convinced me Dial the child was beyond the reach of professional skill, and except to alleviate his suf ferings, my services could avail noth ing; but how to tell the mother? • “You can save him doctor?” Tlie question was au appeal. 1 would have given all I possessed in Dint moment to have taken her hand in mine aud answered “Yes;” but I dare not palter with tho truth. “I will do all that I cun,” I answer ed. “It is hilt little." ’ “He will die, you mean ?” bIic gasp ed out. “He shall at least die in peace,” 1 replied. “Ho shall not, he must not die!” she moaned. “O Heaven, spare him to me!

An hour later we unloosed the clinging touch from the then soqjlrss clay, and liorc Iter senseless to hcr bcd. Site knew nothing for days, not even when wc laid the baby in his spotless coffin and bore him to the graveyard. When she first recovered conscious ness I was beside her. She looked down at her arms; they were empty. She glanced about tlie room; it was silent. “Why did you save me,” she cried, “when you could not save for me all that made life sweet?” But when she grew calmer and stronger sho thanked me for my care —thanked me so humbly that I felt I would far rather bear her reproaches. Her child had been dead six months when I began to understand mv heart’s secret, and to learn why 1 still continued the visits no Jonger professionally required. One evening as I entered her room I noticed a slight shade of embarrass ment in her manner. “Doctor,” sho said, “you have nev er sent me yonr bill.” ’ “It’s very large,” I answered grave ly- “That docs not matter,” sho replied. I may not have the entire sum neces sary at my command—I am not a ricli woman— but in lime I promise to pay it all. - “l must have immediate payment,” I answered. “I cannot but lie satis fied with the whole.” Her face paled. “Tho amount ?’’ 6ho questioned. But I could no longer wear my mask. “Yourself, my darling! With this, and this onlv, will I be content. You told me tho life 1 helped to restore was valueless ro you. This is the only payment I will have. Tell me, dear est, will you give it to me?” “You have asked me.nothing of mv life,” she answered. “I wish to know nothing,” l replied “I love you ; I need no more except your love.” “How good, how generous- you arc!” And softly Iter little hand stole in to mino.and I knew that I had gain ed my treasure. Her mother-heart was empty, rohbod and despoiled! Perhaps it was for this reason it turn ed to me for Die comfort I so glndly gnve. At last our wedding day was fixad, when one evening, as I was preparing to go to her, I heard a hurried knock at tlie door, and ere I could reach it, il was thrown open; and Klenor, white and breathless, entered my room. A dread sense of sonic calamity came over mo ns I looked upon her. “My darling!" I said, hastening lo her side, “what has In-ought you hero ?” “To toll you,” site replied iuncalin, cold voice, “Dial l nmy never lie yonr wife." “And why ?" “Because Ac has come hack! II here, lie claims me 1” And with a low cry she fell fainl- imr lo the floor. I lifted her in mv arms and laid her upon a couch, and at last succeed ed in restoring her to consciousness, only to hear the whole miseablc sto ry. Site bud married when site was bill eighteen, a man utterly unworthy of her, and by whom, shortly afterward, sho was deserted at a.,time when she most noodrd Ids teuderest care nnd devotion ; though, in jnstico to I hr man, il must be said tlmt lie was ig norant of this fact. A few months after h born and they were siippurted try hr own toil and the scanty remnant of her fortune, which she hail retained iu her possession. When the baby was three months old Die rumor, seemingly substantiated, reached her of Iter husband's death. Tliis afternoon, sitting in Iter room thinking ol mu nnd the new life soon lo begin for us both a knock had HEADQUARTERS IN SAVANNAH. FOR Bananas, Pine Apples, Cocoanuts, Oranges, Lemons, AND A LI.

At her feet hr prayed for forgiveness, until, fearful I would come, she roused from Die stony apathy into which she had fal len. 1 wns mad. I forgot reason and honor. I asked what were this man’s claims upon her compared to mine. 1 entreated Iter by all she held sacred lo be mine—mine ns site already war iu the eves of heaven t But, thank Hod—evort I can say it now—my darling was true to herself, lrue to me, true to llte littledoad child, true to the repentant man who had re turned to her. It was a whirlwind which shook to the foundation both our souls, hut slie was tho stronger of the two— stronger in her own pure woman hood—and so she conquered. When wc parted that night, wc knew it was forever, and so it prov ed—I never saw her again. For five years sho lived a Iruo wifelo tho man who sought vainly to atone, theu her heart broke. Just before her death she sent mo on a slip of paper, these words: “Dial will not part us in Heaven." No more—no word of lovo. Bui that sentouco brought full comfort lo me. I look at it every night before i go lo rest, each morning ere I seek my daily toil, aud know that some day 1 shall meet tnv love above. Ruined l>y a “Personal.” A Young Girl’s Life Wrecked by Her Live of Romance. N«w York Tima,.] There is something so well titled to point a moral in the suicide (or pos- sibly accidental death from qpium poisoning) of Mrs. Harriet Van Bu- ren, formerly Mrs. (ico. F. Dutch. Dial brief reference to certain fart- not yet published may be pardona ble. Ten yenrs ago Mrs Harriet Van Bitren was a familiar figure in oneot Dio oldest ami most exclusive circles iu New York society. Yottug,beau tiful, highly educated and accom plished, although her income at hei father’s death was small—about$150H a year—she was the pet and orna ment of an extremely exclusive .cir cle. As is Ihe case with most young ladies of her age, she was as romantic and visionary as site was accomplish ed. Had there been some real work in life upon which to wreak the su perabundant sentiment incident to young women of her age, the tragedy that ultimately ensued might have been avoided, and a long and useful life substituted for au erratic career of an early and tragic death. Idle ness, one of the misfortunes of opu lence and an assured income, is as sure to develop the latent capacity of a young girl for morbidezza, as it is to develop a kindred state of mind in a young man born to affluence and laziness. IN AN EVIL HOUR, tliis gay, accomplished, and l-omautic girl, with noble possibilities before her, insdi'ted & personal iu a daily uewspaper soliciting tlie acquaint ance of some accomplished gentleman. The mystery, the dash of romance, about acquaintances thus formed, is one oT the elements calculated upon by designing rascals, whoso proverbs is that heroism and desperation are so nearly allied, that few know the difference between them. The per sonal was answerod by a man of mid dle age, blase, with many experiences in suclt affairs, who should have told* this foolish girl that she was making shipwreck of her life, instead of pur suing the acquaintance and playing upon her romantic tendencies. This was in 1873. Tho clandestine ac quaintance ripened into a passion; the man was eccentric, fascinating, ot good birth, of considerable fortune, ut:d possibly as scrupulous in such manners as tlie avorage of his class. Friends objected in vain. All Die idealism of a young girl and all hor hatred of humdrum were enlisted.— She refused to hear anything to the discredit of her new acquaintance.— In 1875 tho pair look a trip to Florida iu each other's society. There is SO EVIDENCE OP ILLICIT RELATIONS; but tho cscapado compromised the young lady irrevocably. It is to tlie honor of llio man that ho married hcr itt Philadelphia on their voturu ; to his dishonor that l>e allowed her to compromise herself by romantic de votion to what she supposed to be her ideal. Three mouths later, hav ing seen her idol shattered, her ideal broken, the poor girl applied for a divorce in Utah with the connivance of tlie husband, who tound such ro mantic devotion oppressive. Tlie di vorce was obtained, and, her life and social position wrcckod. she tried to redeem herself. How vain such a struggle is every person of experience well knows. In Iter despair she drowned lior regrets in opium: a few years of sad experience followed. Her equivocal position mado hoc a prey to tlie rapacity of land'adics and’ hotel proprietors. Debt, dis grace, disgust of life, sickness, anil opium languor finish the picture.— An attempt to break tlie habU was followed by a fatal dose, and the brilliant girl of 1870 became tlie sub ject of a coroner’s inquest iu 18S0.— Tlie talc is not a new one; but il is, unf'irtunntoly, a true story of tlie per il of inserting a personal in a daily newspaper, and of the disaster that may follow tlie impracticable pursuit of a morbid ideal.
