The press dispatches published yester •lay gave an account of a terrible state o | afiairs in Newton county, Miss. A gang ten; an of fifteen young while men have organ- j unholy ized themselves into a body and styled phot*, tl themselves ’’the regulators.” They have j every sworn that *to negro shall work on a ferm in that vicinity, and to show that they mean what they say, they have already murdered three negroes and wounded several other-. Their murder ous deeds have thrown the wlmle com munity into a state of terror, and the citizens are jii“tly indignant, and assert that every member of the gang shall be summarily dealt with il it i- po— ible to capture them. The only thing that \\c see wrong a 1 amt this piece of terrible new - i-tlie fact that it comes from away up in Chicago, the press dispatch being sent out from tlmt place. I f’.Jiow.ever, it i- true, some very strong remedy needs to he applied to t he badly di-ea-ed morals of the young men of Newton county. A rope around their neck- would, no doubt, bring speedy re lief. Such outrngeou- proceedings a- these deserve the severest punish ment. Tie -e voting men should he ap prehended at all co-t, and dealt with in the manner that the nature of their crimes delimit s. Theaitizcn- of Newton ct nnty have a rigid to be indignant. They employ negroes on their farms because they need them a- laborers, and no gang of outlaw > and murderers should be permitted to interfere with their btt-i- ne-s. The strong arm of the law shoo'd make itselffelt in New ton countv. day 1 race, would have danced a can-can of tab- fright and fury til this evidence of ’ another incipient and budding rebellion. | lint this outrage was not committed in lord mayor |. south : it was not committed by "shot able func- ,, lin pniicy" democrats. It was committed i by republicans, of w hom better things , w ere to be exported, and lienee among l republican organs there is neither ruiii- j men! nor condemnation, i It is fast coming to the point in the j south where the colored limn who per- i .- i si - in voting tlie republican ticket will j east a shadow of suspicion upon either I hi- intelligence or iiis loyalty to his rare. Infidelity In the vows of the union has . created an internal divorce between the republican party and theroloivd race, hepublii-anism. bcdD./mcd as u groom j for Ids nuptials, espoused it- African bride twenty years ago while the i one was _ lliishcd in it li victory | and tlie oilier with freedom, lint the red lights and rapid music and sweet | odors of the nuptial least have passed away. Tlie fealty of lirst-love is forgot- the groom is a party to new and alliances. To drop the llieta- vote went into the republican cotters,and again the republican party maintained its power and prestige by reason of his right of franchise. Hut, alas, civil rights was a fruit of Sodom. It turned to ashes in the grasp. For did not a republican supreme court of the i’nited states decide the law unconstitutional, and thus proclaim to tlie colored man as tlie inoutli-pie.ee of its party— "Wo lurn about, wo wheel about; Wt do jess so, And eberv time we wheel about, We jump Jim Crow.” The action of the school board in Springfield, Ohio yesterday was but an eeho of tlie spirit of that decision. It was but the finale of the fraud practiced upon the colored mail during all these years. It was but the voice of the re publican svren still singing in tlie black j man's ear— "I turn about, I wheel about, I i to jess so; And cbery time I turn about, I jump Jim Crow*.” TOO .111 ('ll (IIIVAl.ltY. The Berkeley Gazette is a prominent weekly paper, publi-hed at Mount Pleas ant, South I’ot'olina. Its level-headed I I'oiiservat iveiiess sometime.- places it in striking contrast with tlie average jour-j mil of the Palmetto State. And the colt- j trust is favorable to the Gu/.ettee. The Berkeley Gazette is edited by two young men, .1. \V. Hammond and L. A. Peaty, ! who appear to have imbibed the some- j j what heretical idea in South Carolina j | that the unlawful killing of a human be- j i ing is murder, and -iiould be so held by [ I the courts, no matter what sentimental | circumstances may environ the homicide. I The last issue of the Berkeley Gazette ! - contained a graoliie report of tlie trial ' i , 1 1 and arijiiittal oi Mi.-s Km- i I ma ( ontiollv of the murder j of her tiaducer.

A New York judge has recently refused to grant naturalization papers to a man who has net er read all oft lie con-titution of tlie Cnited States. It appear- lie gave prompt and correct ’answers to all the questions put to him, except when asked if tie had ever lead the constitution. Iiis reply was,“I have never read it through." The judge immediately said. "I w ill not naturalize a man who has never read the constitution.” The judge may have a precedent for refusing on that ground. At all events, if the practice -honhl be come general—and it ought to—tlie num ber of votes in tlii- country increase so rapidly as it lias. A-a not r, banjo picker and singer.

Was this pioneer ot ne- ] gro min-trel-y theanti-type and prophet j of tin* republican reign over the southern i negro’’ At any rate his song described it. With Grant's first campaign came I the promise of tlie fabled "forty acres j and a mule." But w hen tho time of ful- | tilling tin glittering promise arrived, the I colored man discovered that Iiis much | wor-hipped parly had j “Wheeled about and turned about. And dime jess so; And ebery time it turned about. II jumped Jim Crow." j Tli. n followed tlie promise of an equal j distribution iif state and federal ollieesin i tin* south among white and colored n - liiont oll'eli.-e ,t upon she lie have ft taking loot 11 god lli-h- his publicans ; and any applicant for citizenship ought to i *'' s «Hegiaiu*e which laid 1 man renew ed j iudgnie never been is upon know tlie ► institution bv heart, or at least thoroughly un derstand its fundamental principles. While the judge's theory is a good one, •we doubt the wisdom of applying it in so arbitrary a fashion. While there are thousands native-born citizens who have never read tlie constitution, have had instilled into them the principle of bur government. Tlie applicant in the ease referred to was a man of ordinary intelli gence, and his pride would, in all prob ability, have made him become familiar with the constitution. The judge might have granted the application in that ease and advised him to study it with care. Had it been made one of the requisite qualifications of citizenship to understand the constitution of the United States, there would not to-day be so many an archists and socialists in this country. practically withdrawn, and helped his conferees again into power. And then, as white carpetbagger- whom a dog woiild’t have hit, unless they had been washed, and white scalawags whose own kindred disowned them, appropriated the places among themselves and seated themselves in the seats of the rulers they gazed down at the hungry colored voter with a look that said more eloquently than words : “I wheel about. I turn about, I do jess so; And ebery time I turn about, I jump Jim Cron ." Then came the election, the masculin ity of whose cause consisted of the. promise of civil rights. To the col ored citizen this gleaming possibility was a very Mohammedan paradise, peopled with houses and filled with percolating fountains and pendant fruits. Again his lie did not de-er ■nppivs-i d for hot hud boon wro tint hi- jin greater than uid w lieu Mi- 1 - Connelly took Tself to h<* her own avenger me an outlaw, and should veeived an outlaw’s deserts. The of a human life is not to he over- 1 in older to pander to a sentiment. The verdict of tin* jury that tried Miss Connelly will in* a fearfftl heritage for tile South Carolina court- in the future. The acquittal of Mi.-.-* Connelly was the condoning of one crime and the committing of another. A- a legal,precedent, it will he a very Ban- quo'- ghost. A hundred year-from now some imjiiou.- niurdere--, crimson-hand ed and beautiful, will come up to tin* bar of South Carolina justice, and base tier claim of acquittal itji.m the Connelly case as a jirccedeiit. The case is fast upon tin* records. Can the courts afford to shoulder it and carry it. like an “old man of the sea" lorevcr? Swejit and purged of all its bosh and buncombe and chivalry, the case is just tiiis: Without sullieieiit cause, and not in self-defence, Mis- Connelly raped a human life, and sent a stained and trem bling soul unwarnedand unwashed tothc Its blood was ujion her.

At the risk of being thought below the orthodox standard of chivalry, we must plrud guilty to the belief that Alis~ Connelly should have been really and truly tried like any other manslayer, and if found guilty that she should have worn the strijies the rest of her natural life. commit murder, piracy, arson, robbery, forgery and the utterance of forged paper. To these have iieen added by tlie recent treaty—manslaughter, burglary, embez zlement or larceny of the value of fifty dollars or more, and ma licious injuries to property wlnr by the life of any person shall lie endanger ed. The last clause is general and in- j definite, but is evidently designed for the extradition of fugitive dynamiters, and is broad enough to cover anarchists. The list does not cover one-half of what ought to he extraditable offences. The j new treaty i- objectionable only because ! ii is not full enough. Aside from its in- I completeness, it is a decided improve-- ! meat ujion the old one. It will at least make it necessary for hank plunderers, I thieves and swindlers to look out for i some other place of resort than Canada, i Tliis will be some gain by this country. j A curtain class of mugwump papers are mak- i ing themselves extremely ridiculous by their im- ! becile ravings against democratic congressmen. They denounce Randall mul Morrison and Car lisle and every other man who dares to open his mouth or offer a measure. They blackguard Morrison aud Carlisle because they didn’t pass the bill anyway, in spite of the fact that the Randall-McKinley coalition had a majority of votes against them. Every one of these worthies thinks that if he were only in congress he could pass any bill he wanted to all by him self. But as he isn’t there, and recognizes the impossibility of ever being there, he feels perfectly free to discharge his venom without re straint upon democrats, republicans, tariff re- . formers and high protectionists alike. This is the natural result of the mugwump’s unfortunate ' situation. Having deserted one party and being ■ scorned by the other, he is a political outcast and I hates everybody because everybody despises 1 him. He is a harmless creature, but he is getting ' tiresome. It might be well enough for tlie two political parties to let up on each other for a sec ond or two until they have kicked him off of the lace of t he earth. A summary of the voting strength of the parties in the next parliament .shows that with a clear majority of 113 against home rule the tories will be handicapped on auv question by a simple j coalition. Thus 57 out of 71 liberal unionists* combined with the Gladstones and Parndlites will suffice to obstruct government business. Mr. 1 Gladstone goes hack to parliament avowedly to j lead a determined opposition. It is known that many of the liberal unionists have already made their peace with him, and the 57 needed votes may not be hard to get. In any event there is certain to lie a constant struggle, much obstruct- ivenoi-s and a fair chance of tlie concession of 1 home rule after all, that the government may be carried on. The Mobile Register says: “We feel for the esteemed Montgomery Advertiser. Listen to its melancholy plaint : ‘The new jail erected in rear of the Advertiser office has shut out breeze and made the editorial room at least fifteen de grees better. No man should allow Iiis personal comfort to interfere with great public improve ments. so the Advertiser wipes its forehead with out a murmur.’ Tt is well-known that every newspaper office has its own special breeze. It is sad that the Advertiser has been deprived of its cooler. But the editors can look out of the hack windows and see another sort of a cooler.” Prince Plon-Plon, having shaken bauds with Queen Victoria without receiving much encour agement, is coming over to New York to meet his son, who is returning via the Golden Gate from a visit to Japan. Those who are curious to see the living image, of tlie great emperor who in the early part of the century shook thrones with his noil may he privileged to behold that image in Plon-Plon. If looks could have restored the empire the prince won hi have been seated on the throne of France to-day, but as poor Plon-Plon has ub.-olutcly nothing else to recommend him he will he a mere nine days’ wonder, no more. Withjn the last few months dispatches have been constantly published declaring that Kaiser Wilhelm, of Germany, ami ex-President Arthur were mi the verge of the grave and could not possibly live many days. And yet Kaiser Wil helm look part in the Augsburg centennial on Sunday, looking '‘tile picture of health,” while the last tidings of Mr. Arthur represented him as taking an airing a few days ago at a seaside resort, walking quite easily and comfortably with the aid of a cane.
