The Natchez Democrat, making ed

cast his lot with the people of Missis
sippi. We hear that he has telegraphed
that he will decide the question as soon
as his election is duly continued by
the other bishops of the Episcopal
church. We feel sure that a man of
such learning and talents, combining
so many eminent qualifications, cannot
fail to satisfy every demand of tlii
high position.”
A I'ahiiioNAULU wedding in Nash
ville, on Wednesday last, was inter
rupted at tho moment of the minister
askiug whether any one know of uuy
reasonable cause why the young couple
should not be unit ml l»y the rushin;
into tho church of a brother of the
young lady, who cried out, "Hold
hold ! by G-d, I’ll stop it.” The scene
was, as: may well be expected, inde
scribable. Men rose to their feet and
women fainted. The brother, w
subject to fits of mental aberration of
mind, pulled off his coat, and cursing
the bridegroom, eudeavored to mak
his way to the altar, bill was secured
and removed. During the interruptioi
the bride and groom never once looked
around.
Illiteracy North ami South.
The United Hiatts prides itself on
having a lower per cent, of illiteracy
11 mu iilost other nations, and the
boast i« warranted. While this may
be the case, the mass of Ignorance ex
isting in this country Is greater than
one would nuturally suppose. The
census bulletin of 1880 contains the
most reliable and latest information
regarding this subject, and must lie
the guide for tiio next decade, though
there lias been no material change
since it was taken. Two years ago
the l nited .States contained 38,701,007
lersons ten years of age and upward,
of whom 13 per cent, could not read
and 17 per cent, could not write. Eng
land is said to have 83 per cent, of
illiteracy among her population ;
nice 30 per cent., and Germany,
ing to her excellent compulsory
du cation system, only 12 per
nt., while Jlivaria only re
ports 7 per cent. One of our
esteemed northern cotemporaries
commenting upon this subject,
s: "Jt is profitable to look into
h statistics, unpleasant though
they be. Twelve percent, of the for-
ign born population and seventy
nt. of the negroes were unable
to write, but only 8 7 per cent, of the
native whites were so ignorant. As
natter of course, the south shows a
larger proportion of illiteracy than
north, but to many it will be
matter for comment to learn that the
centage of ignorance is much
greater among southern whites than
among immigrants.”
This is a matter that is very easi*
ly accounted for and the bare state
mont that "the south shows a larger
ion of illiteracy than the
north” does the south an injustice.
In the abstract It is true but the
statement will bear qualify ing. There
iH a very large negro population in
itli; who, fifteen years ago not
one in a thousand could read or write.
no attention was paid toward edu
ating them nor did they express any
Icsire to bo educated. If the white
lopulation only were taken into con
sideration and a comparison made
jetween the white people of the
out Ii and the white people of the
orth the educational statistics would
<• decidedly favorable to the south,
’he south bus made a wonderful
rogress in educational movements
within the past few years, and it will
t he many years before sh
Mitstrip the north and carry tho bur-
ion of illiteracy among the color
pie besides. It in true that we
have not what we should have in the
way of educational facilities, but
lliteracy is lamentably prevalent
ven at the north, and tho northern
iross should not attempt to decry the
outh until that section Is further out
f the woods.
It is like telling something whicl:
ve knew, at first, is not true, but
repeated so often we are persuaded of
truth of the assertion. The
south has so often been spoken of by
lortheru press as a place wher
rauce, superstition and vie
s complete sway that many of
them believe it to bo true without
any facts whatever to sustain any
such idea. The figures may
tell a very different story
but they do not stop t(
iult figures, We have known but
intelligent journalist, who came
south with honest purposes, who has
Aver returned to the north and spoke
lisparagingly of the south, and
was purchased by a republican paper.
The truth of the whole matter is, the
south is on the high way of progress
nv from almost every standpoint
and whatever may be said to the con
trary will not affect tho result nor
impede its course.
In speaking of the funeral obsequie
of the republican party, which ar
now taking place in Washington, (lie
Jteglsler grows quite eloquent. It
says that the "movements erected at
immense expense may be made to
glitter with high-blown inscriptions
to cover over moral delinquencies,but
the rotten ulcers of political depravity
cannot be hidden and concealed by
monuments or mountains of laure
wreaths. The public records will re
main, the infamy there shown cannot
be expunged, and history will t
the truth to future generations, and
brush away the cobwebs of false and
fulsome laudations. Aud monu
incuts, though raised to tl
clouds to conceal and covi
un moral deformity in the publ
man, u ill only serve to make tl
facts of public history more uotor
ous, and to proclaim the degeueiaey,
folly, aud kindred depravity of those
who attempt thus to mislead public
opinion and conceal the monstrous
errors and offences of vicious politi
cians by covering them with unmer
ited honors and monumental perver
sions of public history.” Of course
the Register has no reference to the
good men and elevated statesmen in
the republican party who scorn aud
eschew the corrupt methods of the
party. 11 was the action of such
men rising above party and acting
with the democracy which gave the
sweeping and signal rebuke to the
republican party at the late election.
TrnuNlt of Venus To-Day.
To-day the? planet venus will move
across the face of the sun in the sight
of the people of the earth for the last
time until the year 2005. The event
is one of profound importance to
science, and the interest in it of scien
tific nn?n lias awakened a deep interest
among tho masses of the people.
Should the sky be clear, millions of
persons in North and South America
will Hatton their noses against smoked
glass to witness the spectacle,
doubtless most of them will
be disappointed at seeing
nothing but a small black spot
/Ing across the sun’s disc, be
ginning at a few minutes before 9
clock, and requiring nearly six aud
half hours to complete the transit.
Hut the movement affords astrono-
lers an opportunity to determine
with an accuracy never before at
tained the distance between the earth
und the sun, which is the unit of
ilestial measurement.
There was an expenditure of $1,000,-
000 in making observations of the
ansit of 1874, but the result lias only
narrowed the gap of doubt as to the
distance between tin* eartn aud sun
from 3,000,000 miles to 1,600,000.
Many nations have nude geuerouH
tribillions to send out more
than forty expeditious which are to
take observations of the transit to-
lay, and the expenditure of the
United States for the purpose iflj$75,-
000. The aggregate expenditure
ust lie .several times us large as that
ti 1874, audit lias all been under
taken with the knowledge that uufa-
ahle weather may prevent the
success ot the observations. •
le three methods of observation
are by noting the “contacts”—that
the moments when tho planet just
touches the edge of the sun ; meas
uring the distance of the planet from
the edge of the sun, and taking as
many photographs of the planet as
possible during the whole transit. It
is hoped that fair weather will permit
successful observations at many of the
stations between Florida and Pata-
gonia, but although the sky should
be clear over the whole western con
tinent, several years would be re
ed for the astronomers to make
r computations as to just where
between 02,000,000 and 98,500,000
miles the exact distance of the eartli
from the sun is to be reckoned.

nov3 to
Tm: temperance people of Alabama
held a .slate convention not long since
and adopted a line of policy much
more conservative than is usual with
such occasions. A resolution askiug
tho legislature to pass a prohibitory
law was voted down by a largo ma
jority, but a resolution simply de
manding the passage of an act that
would secure a better enforcement of
the license laws met with no opposi
tion. The proposed amendment pro
vides, among other regulations,
that hereafter an applicant to
sell liquor shall obtain the re
commendation of a majority of house
holders who are freeholders in the
precinct, stating uuder oath that they
know him to be possessed of good
moral character, and in all respects a
proper person to sell intoxicating
drinks. These regulations would
hardly work in large cities, but they
might do for thinly settled districts
where the people know all about
their neighbors, and yet are not so
fully impressed with the necessity
for regulating the appetites of otiiers
as are the residents of some more
densely populated sections. i
It is to be hoped that the fatal
shooting in tho theater at Cincinnati
tho other day will make an ending
of the murder drama. This apple
>ting business lias cost two
s very recently aud. it
not saying too much to say that th
is two more than there is any excuse
for. This same fool-hardy display
was enacted on the stage in this city
by Buffalo Hill and it was by mere
good luck that Columbus escaped the
>rror that hung over Cinciuuati on
Thanksgiving day. These riiiemen
re frequently warned of tho proba-
ilily ofsueh an occurrence, ami we
>arn the warning given in this city
when Codly insisted that his aim
was so steady and sure, that his
nerves and muscle was
firm that there was no
lunger. Murder is too often the ulti
mate ending of this kind of business
for there is no such thing as security
against shading a lino too close, when
human life is made to rest on tho
hair-splitting accuracy of the "dead
shot.” Nerves must sometimes trem
ble, guns get out of order aud it is
then too late to shower tears upon the
slain. If there is a well of pitying
sympathy to draw from, let us go to
it to save tho living aud not sprinkle
the graves of the dead. The commu
nity which permits this needless
trilling with human life, to gratify
same brutal appetites
that drew the Roman populace to the
gladiatorial butcheries, ia not without
blame when it finds itself staring at
the mimic stage reddened with the
blood of a real tragedy. Why should
any exhibition gathering all its at
tractiveness from the risk of life be
tolerated? Every such exhibition is
an affront to our civilization, an in
sult to our humanity. The toleration,
quite as much as the exhibition itself,
is a crime.
A lU'uti Letter Oiltee Hlut.
The season of the year is approach
ing when a multitude of people will
use the mails to send holiday pres
ents to their friends. It is therefore
a good time for a suggestion as to the
manner of addressing packages for
mailing. A week from next Monday
a sale ot a large number of articles
which have accumulated at the dead
letter otfice in Washington is to
begin. A glance over the 250 pam
phlet coulmus of tilings to be sold
shows that carelessness has deprived
many thousands of people of presents,
and caused much loss to their in
tended benefactors. A great variety
of articles, books and jewelry being
prominent among them, are on the
list for sale, and it is probable that
few of them will be identified, so that
their price can be recovered.
Had the persons who mailed
them taken the trouble to write
their names and addresses upon them
they would have been notified of the
failure to reach the persons for whom
they were iutended, and a small ex
penditure in postage would have se
emed the return of the articles. The
hint given by the dead letter office
sale should result in the appearance
in plain letters, of the address ot both
the sender and the iutended recipient
of every holiday package sent by
mail this year.

Why this Discrimination?—It
is notable that more than 30 per cent,
of the negroes over ten years old in
northern states are unable to write,
whereas the number of whites over
ten years old unable to write amount
to less than 5 per cent. There is
much talk about discrimination
against the negroes in the south in
the matter of education, But what
is tiie explanation of this difference
of illiteracy between the races in the
northern states, where the school
systems are old and matured aud the
school funds ample? The per cent, of
illiteracy among the negroes in the
old free states is six times as great as
among the whites, w'hereas it is less
tlmn three times as great iu the old
slave states. What might be the fair
inference as to what the educational
condition of the negro would be if the
race were as numerous iu the north
as iu the south ?—St. Louis Rep,
