We know, Mr. Editor, that we possess soil of sufficient pro ductiveness to ensure success.

Des Moines, La., August 26.—Dr. A. M. Blackman, a well-know physi cian of Gresco, Kossuth county, was recently k.lled by being thrown from liis carriage. A few nights previous he had a dream, in which be was call ed to the neighboring town of Ridg way to visit a little girl. On his re turn he came to a broad river, which seemed impossible to cross, and while he was devising means to cross, an old friend, long since dead appear ed and assisted him in crossing. When the doctor arose in the morn ing he related his dream to his fami ly, and it appeared to make a deep impression upon him. Ho at once secured a policy of life insurance for 4-10,00(1, Jie called his family to gether, talked over all his business affairs, and so arranged matters that ho felt easy as to Their welfare; and he then expressed the impression that some sad fatality awaited him. A day or two after, he was called to Kidgway to visit a iittiq girl, and, when returning, his team, which was a splendid one, become Lightened an<l ran away. They ran nearly a mile, passing several teams, which were hurried to the roadside It is i probabW that the Doctor became ex hausted in iiis efforts to stop them, and turned diem into’ the brush, where they went astride of a tree with such force as to throw the Doc tor to the ground. Ho was seen to full by a person who was quickly at ids side, when the Doctor placed hi* hands on his head, exclaiming “Oh, my head!” which were die last w-Tit he spoke. Death resulted in a few.! hours from concussion oi-the bruin. He was u man highly esteemed lor his many virtues and professional worth. THE BLACK MEN AND TILDEN. i The Baltimore Gazette publishes the following significant communi tion : “Please give us a bearing through your paper io the effect that Rev. Dr. Dunjy, of Richmond, Ya„ (color ed,) has united with the Rev. Gar land 11. White, of North Carolina, for the purpose of stumping the Southern States in behalf of Tilden and reform. If the colored people want reform, they must unite with white men in electing such men as will reform, and not to vote for Re publican men who have by their plun der, thievery, bribery, and fraud, made reform in the administration of the government necessary, A cor rupt party cannot reform itself any more than a sinner can convert him self. If done at all it must take place from the effect produced by a better and purer agency. Politically speaking, we are free to say that Samuel J. Tilden is the man whose election will politically regenerate the country, restore the moral status of the people, give employment to the labo’.ittg men of every section, and forever settle the differences of every section ot the country on a last ing basis of peace and fraternal feel ing between the races. Tilden and Hendricks clubs are now being form ed among the coloied people of the Soutn, with a belief that our North western brethren will do the same. Rev, Garland H.

NEGRO RIOT IN CHARLESTOWN. Charlestown, Sept. 7.—A serious riot occurred lalo last night, growing out of a street attack by colored Re publicans upon some colored men who have been taking a conspicuous part in the Democratic Canvass. X small body of whites endeavored to defend the Democratic negroes, but they were overpowed by the number of the rioters. They retired after a severe light, in which pistols were hecly used on both sides. The riot- ers held King street, the main thor onghlaro, from mid-night until sun rise, breaking windows, robbing stores, nt'aeking and beating indis criminately every white man who showed his face. A large number of persons were injured—mostly whites. Several of those shot are in a critical condition. Intense excitement prevails, the general feeling being that the trouble is not yet over.. and he riotous proceedings of the rieo field negroes ou tlie Combahec have been renewed, and tlie situation is regarded as serious. Spain is about to send more troops to that ‘‘ever faithful isie.” It would be interesting to know bow many troopg in ail have been dispatched to Cuba since the' breaking oat of the rebellion there seven or eight years ago, and just how many survived tlie change ol the ciimate. It is as serted on good authority that a very large proponion of the troops die from fever and other diseases inci dent to the climate, and that the yearly mortality is something fright ful. Meanwhile tlie army when there has been doing nothing except 10 repel the assaults of the insur gents. The latter remain in undis turbed possession of the east end of the Island, ami no efforts arc made to dislodge them. It is hard to sec how tlie Spaniards expect to eon- j 1 tpier the rebellion by simply rLiuain on the defensive.— Sav Neivs. EXPEOSSOX AT HEEL GATE New 'York, Sept. s— An explosion oc curred ai. t.hc Government works at Hell I Gate. Three men were instantly kd ed, and blown to atoms. Numbers of oth ers were wounded; two, itij thought, fa tally. The explosion looit place on a large scow, on which a number of men have been employed tor a long time preparing the primers by which the fi nal explosion is to be made. The cause of the explosion is yet unexplained. Among tha wounded is Capt. Downing. SJ©OK FARMING. If one of those farmers who talks so much against “Book Farming” has an important suit iu court, or m alarming case of sickness in nis family, or is perplexed with doubts and fara about some grout theological question, to wliom will he apply for couusel, advice and direction? Evidently to the man who has made himself master of his profession by long and careful stndy of books which shed light on the points concerning which he wishes information —Soulern Farmer. An Idaho two vear-old babe, who fell into a well and remained there some time, crying lustily for help, saluted his parents with this remark: “You fink I can tay in a Well all day wifout nuffln t’eat’ ike a fog ? ’Fy wasn’t no better’u fader’n rnuddor I’d do wifout chillenl” It is said that red shirts dyed iu an iline colors are found lobe poisonous and often kill those who wear them. It is possible that there may be a mistake in this matter and that the sufferers from the red shirts had purchased from some friendly Oatell of the Administra tion, the “bloody shirts” which Attor ney General Williams and Morton had on hand when the outrage bureau was sold out. - They are like the shirt of Hercules dyed in the blood of Nessus dea'h to thoso who handle them.

POLITICAL NOTES The Brooklyn Argu* says the Pres ident vigorously cottimed his can vass in behalf of Tilden, on Monday, by dismissing nil the special agents of the Treasury Department who had been active iu unearthing the wliisr key thieves. He is inspired by the noble ambition to be know n us the last Republican President. The Wrong Ox Gokijd I—Tbo Radical press make loud complainis ot the bitterness with which Demo crats of tlie South denounce their po litical opponents in this section. But just lot a Republican of the South re pent the error of his ways and join the Democrats, and listen at the way in which these same complaining Radicals can pour out the vials- of wrath and abuse on his head ! We have a case in point. The Radical Chattanooga Commercial, noticing a report that Sam Bard was going to 1 stumn Maine in behalf of the Demo- ci'Btic party, cal s him “a rogue, and 1 cheat always, whom several sheriff's would be glad to interview in this region,” and it closes by saying, “.May a merciful Providence and vig ilant police guard tlio pockets of his auditors.” The Montgomery State Journal (which often makes loud complaint of the abuse of Democrat-' ic papers) copies this approvingly. Now, we ask, did anybody ever know us to write anything as abu sive of a Radical as that? — Columbus j Times. New Y'ork.— lt is announced by telegraph that the Democratic State Convention will no doubt be called together again to make a nomina tion for Governor in the place of ex- Gov. Seymour declined. The dis patclis to the World, sent just before the nomination of Gov. Seymour at the late meeting, stated that the sen timent was strongly in favor of the nomination of.Hon. Clarkson N. Pot ter, and he would doubtless havo been the nominee had not Gov. Sey mour's name been proposed in a man ner to cause an electrical effect. It, this bo so, the nomination of Potter now would seem to he a very proba ble. He was supported by Mr. Kel ley even in opposition to Gov. Sey mour. Macon Tel. & Mes., of 7th inst Congressional Convention The Democratic Nominating Con vention for the Third Congressional District, which met yesterday morn in the reading room of the Brown House, was one of the most harmo nious bodies we ever saw. The members wore all on the best terms with each other, and when it came' to the transaction of business they went shoulder to shoulder and with shields locked, There was no log roiling—no acrimonious utterances —no bad feeling whatever, but they met, organized and renominated Gen eral Phil Cook by acclamation, carry ing the proposition by a unanimous rising vote and amid enthusiasm. The convention was rot in session more than forty minutes, but its work could not have been better done ia forty days. If the mombeis are a fair sample of the Democracy of the district they will bear their banner to a certain victory in November. The Hampton ground swell is shaking South Carolina from cen ter to border line, and nothing but a cyclone of duputies and bayonets can reverse the decree of the di_ vinity that is shaping the ends of Democracy in the prostrate State
