A good many good and well moaning people at the North try to make Uiemaelves ami the world believe t.hnt there is uo preju difs- in tliat stvpou of tlu- country” against negroes. The truth is negroes are not as much rospaoted nt the North as they are at tlie South. There aie a few people there wlw pretend to make no distinction between white and biack people, but tJiey do not suc ceed in inducing the masses to follow their example. At the North the negroes are permitted under the law a few more privileges than they have at the South, but the feeling against admitting them to any sort of social equality is as strong there a.s it. is at the South. Among the Southern people there is a kindly feeling for the negroes and a sincere desire to see them do well. Northern people, while they have much to say about the rights of negroes, have uo liking for them, and object to being brought into rela tions of any kind with them. IVhen such men as Senator* Sherman and Hoar, there fore, pretend that there is an unreasonable prejudice against nogroes at the South they are neither sincere nor honest. They are not sincere because the prejudice is not unrea sonable, and not honest Jbecau.se they intend to create the Impression that the prejudice does not exist at the North. In the New York Tribune of April 13 there is a report, of a meeting ol the Ladies’ lle!th Protective Association in that city. One of the ladies, who had been visiting the public schools to inquire into their condition will respect to health, said that sho found that there existed the greatest prejudice against the presence of colored children in the white schools. The white children ob jected to Ik ing placed in classes with them and tcaohei s taught them with repugnance. There was a silence for a moment after this statement and than Mrs. E. J. Sparks, the President, of the association, said, with em phasis: “1 declare that lam an abolitionist and my r father was before” me, but I think the law that, permits black and white chil dren to mingle together is an outrage on the white children.” This remark was greeted with hearty marks of approval, and the opportunity for expressing sentiments relative to mixed schools being thus presented other members of the association spoke their views freely. One was opposed to mixed schools on the ground of health; another declared she would burn at the stake before she would permit her children to attend a mixed school; a third thought it was dreadful that white and black children were forced to associate in the schools, as sueh association might lead to marriages between the races, and a fourth objected to anything calculated to deteriorate the white race. Others stated their objections to the presence of colored children in the schools, all of which showed a deep-rooted prejudice against negroes. It is clear that mixed schools are not a success in New York city. Tho white chil dren are harmed by them because being forced to mingle with the colored ones they become possessed of a bitter feeling toward them that they otherwise would not have. The colored children are harmed, because they are humiliated and angered by the aversion of the white ones and the repug nance of the teachers. What good purpose, then, Is served hy mixing the white and colored children in the schools.' None whatever, and if by so doing the sohcMil authorities aim to show their superiority to any race prejudice they have only to read the report, of the meeting of the Ladies' Protective Health Assm iution in the Tribune to see what a very grave mistake they ore making. It is bettor for bath whites and blacks that the color line should not tie obliterated. For the mainte nance of that line it is nor necessary to de prive the blacks of any rights the laws enti tie them to, or to withhold from them the respect which they may deserve on account of their merits or attainments. Where the Blame Lies. One of the jiartios supposed to tie impli cated in the lynching of the five negroes who were taken out of the jail at Yorktmvn, 8. C., a few days ago by a lot of masked men and hanged, has written a letter to the authorities, a synopsis of which was pub lished in the Mornivo News yesterday, iti which he blames urors for the Yorktown ease of lynch law He says that the people have become so well satisfied that juries are not to be depended upon to assist, in enforcing the Inws, that they U-lieve that their safety is in taking the law into their own hands. This lyncher, of course, forgets that he is one of the citizens who is likely at any time to Ik- required to do jury duty, and that perhaps everyone of the lynchers have at one time or another served on juries. In his sweeping condemnation of jurors he con demns himself and fellow lynchers. Did they always do their duty when in the jury box? If they did. were they the only ones in their county who (lidt It is doubtful if they can answer in the affirmative. It is probable they are no 1 letter citizens than the great majority of their neighbors. Their la wlews act, at Yorktown would seem to indicate that they are not so good, and. hence, the letter written to the Yorktown authorities is an excuse for a crime rather than a com plaint of an unhealthy condition of public sentiment. There is no doubt, however, that jurors all over the country are sadly derelict in their duty. Many of them are indifferent, and the inoral sense of others is so blunted that they do not have a proper appreciation of the heinous ness of crime and the disastrous effect upon society of a failure to enforce the laws." The lynchers who hung the five negroes at York town could have done their county a real service by holding meetings in its different towns and urging their fellow citizens to pledge themselves to do their whole duty when called to act as jurors. What they did do was harmful, because it helpd to bring the law into contempt and make jurors careless of the res|K*usil)iliti(<s n-stjjig upon them. Tlie laws, as n rule, in every State are sufficient to secure the punish men t of thusc guilty of crime, and jurors nre generally fully up to the moral tone of a community. What is needed, therefore, to secure certain and prompt punishment of violators of tin law is a healthier sentiment and u higher moral tone among the JK*o[lie.

Hill in vetoing the Crosby high lieni.se was a great ilis nppomtnxuit to the •-onset-vat Ive clement of the temperance people. There is no doubt that If this bill had lieen permitted to be come n lav.-, crime, drunkenness and pov erty in its worst as|io<-t9 would have greatly decreased. The class of barrooms which do Lite most harm would have been driven out of existence. The bill was passed by the hardest, kind of work of its friends in lioth bouses of the Legislature, but all the wltile that it was being considered there was a suspicion that it would he vetoed. Gov. Hill gives apparently very good reasons (or his veto, but there are grave doubt' whether they’will bear careful ex amination. He thinks the bill places bur derns unequally, and that some of its pro visions are unconstitutional. Some very able lawyers were interested in the passage of the bill, and they have no doubt that it is constitutional, anti the support is knocked from under that portion of the veto which is based’upon the assertionjtbat the bill im post's unequal burdens, by the fact that it is not * revenue measure at all. The aim of it is to restrict the sale of intoxicating liquors. The fact appears to be that the Governor bail decided to veto the bill before he litui u chanc-e to consider its merits. He was op posed to it, and therefore liatl no great difli culty in finding arguments to support his course. It would be interesting to know what effect this veto will have upon the Governor’s prospects for the Presidential nomination of his party, assuming of e<r rse that his ambition will lead him in that di rection. He certainly can expect no assist ance from those who favor temperance. The President’s Southern Visit. The President has selected it very pleasant season of the year to visit the South. The weather is delightful in Atlanta as well as in this city in October. Of course the Presi dent would hardly think of coming to Georgia without visiting Savannah He will doubtless find much to interest him at Atlanta, and the Piedmont fair, which will be oj#*n in October, will be an attraction, but to see a genuine Southern city—the most beautiful city in the South—he must come to Savannah. The people of this city would be gratified by a visit from President Cleveland. They have watched his consistent course and hear tily indorse it. Tlipy have noticed that since his inauguration there has been a complete restoration of good feeling throughout the entire country and a remarkable industrial awakening in the South, and they would like to show him their appreciation of his administration. Doubtless his plans have not yet been arranged, but when they are it is sincerely hoped that they will include this city as one of the points to lx* visited. Dr. Oscar Lenz, who has just completed a prolonged tour of exploration in Africa, un dertaken by direction of the King of the Belgians, has made an interesting report concerning missionary work in Africa. He acknowledges the good intentions of those who send missionaries to Africa, but asserts that they expend large sums of money for very small results. Negroes who are taught to read and write by the missionaries gen erally become unfit for any manual occupa tion. They think themselves as good as the white man, look upon toil as undigni fied, and when not holding large and noisy prayer meetings, at which each wants to take his turn at preaching, they wander ii 1 wint liegging. They lierome very angry when they are not, permitted to live entirely upon the charity of their white fellow (4hris tians. The owners of European factories will not give the converted Africans em ployment. Dr. Lenz declares that most of the converts relapse into barharism and vagalsmdage, their last state being worse than their first, liecause, he says, “the rene gade native convert almost always liecontes a criminal.” Commenting on a paragraph concerning Mormons in the South, which recently ap peared in the Morning News, the Chatta nooga Times says: “There have been from 90 to 150 Mormon proselyting missionaries operating in the South for the last six or eight years. The force is considerably larg er this year than it lias averaged. The elders say they are sure of full protection in Georgia, and produce Senator Brown’s speeches to prove it.” It hasn’t been a great while since a Mormon elder was run out of Georgia with hickory switches, and it may not be long before some of those now roaming about the State will be similarly treated. Senator Brown is influential in Georgia, but his peculiar views concerning the Mormons find but little sympathy. A New York Alderman named Diwer, who wants a woman appointed Commis sioner of Deeds, calls the attention of |m* Board of Aldermen to the following fac 4 : “Queen Victoria has held an Important,office for over fifty years.

Gov. Cornell appointed Miss Ba rah Carpenter to the same office. (; o v. Cleveland appointed Miss Jennie Turner a Notary Public. Mayor Grace uppnintid Miss Grace Dodge and Mrs. I)r.

LUDLOW’S BRAVERY. How He Charged and Captured a Drunken Butler. From Washington Letter to the Chicago yews. (fjfThere is a lady in this city who is supposed to he the possessor of 52.1W0.0C0 or so, and lives with her lour daughters in one of the finest houses in town. The other day Col. Ludlow of the army, who is on service here as a Commis sioner of the District of Columbia, cal led at the widow's mansion, and to his surprise, after ringing several times, the door was opened by ofu* of the daughters, who seemed to la- greatly agitated. “Oh, Col. Ludlow,” she sobbed. “I'm so-o-o-o oh glad you've come. Ibn so-o-o-o-oh glad you’ve come." “What on earth is the mattery" exclaimed the handsome Commissioner. “Co-o-o-o-o-me this-s-s-s way,” she said, be tween her sobs. “Mo-o-o-o other's in the library, and she’ll be so-o-o-o-o glad you’ve come.” The Colonel was conducted to the library, where he found thr.t the mother and daughters had locked themselves in. With great difficulty they explained that the Irish butler was roaring drunk, and with a big carving knife in his hand had threatened to butcher the entire family. The other servants had taken refuge in the attic, and the lady of the house with her daugii ters had ran into the library, and, locking the door, were awaiting their horrible fate. They were unable to get out of tin- bouse, and it re quired a good deal of courage for the young lady to answer the door; but she had done so. hoping that someone might be there who would rescue them, and the gallant Ludlow was the man. “Where is tho brute?” exclaimed the valiant Colonel. The ladies did not know. The last they saw of him he was chasing the footman up-stairs, trying at every step to carve him up into small pieces. “Have you got a gun or something of that sort around the house?” asked the would-be res cuer. They had an old pistol somewhere up stairs in a trunk, they explained. “Of course,” responded the Colonel, “women always keep their pistols up stairs somewhere in a trank. Have you a good stout club?” No, they didn't nave any clubs, not even a cane. The nearest approach to it was a light riding whip. The Colonel looked around the place with the eye of a sapper and miner, and selected a handsome silver-mounted poker, which he grasped and sallied forth to meet the enemy, who appeared to be intrenched i some part of the basement. The Colonel continued his scouting expedition till be discovered his man in a bedroom in the basement engaged in cutting the tails off several handsome coats of livery with a pair of scissors. “Come out of that cried Ludlow. “Who the d* 1 ;tre you?” asked the butler. “ I’m a police eo omissioner,” was the reply, “and I’ve come to arrest you for frightening these ladies. If you don't come aloug peaceably I’M rap yon over the head with this poker. Where's that carving knife?” “it’s in the kitchen, sor.” was the meek reply. “Well, then,” continued Ludlow, “come out of that right away. I will have to take you to the station.” The man got down on his knees and com menced to beg for mercy. He saw the tire in the Colonel's eye. He said that he was sick, and had taken a drop too much, nkich had thrown him into a delirium. lie didn't want to go to the station, for he would lose his character if people knew he was arrested. The (‘olonel par leyed with him, found he was a married man, and promised not to arrest him if he would go home and behave himself. “Does yez know the old woman?” lie asked. “What, old woman?” inquired the Colonel. “No, 1 don't know your wife.’’ “If yez did, yez w ouldn't be axin' me to go home.” The Colonel finally persuaded the man to leave the house, which he did, wearing one of the livery coats with the abbreviated tails. The widow and her daughters regard Col. Ludlow as the bravest and the handsomest man in Wash ington, and if he u-as not already married there's uo telling what might come of it. Recognition. The trees arch overhead. And I sink on the earth to rest; Ah. here niong forests dead. From love there is surely rest; From her whom 1 have-fied I will hide in the earth's dark breast. O look not here thou sad gazellel Thy deep la-own eyes Are my love's eyes— Eyes that I fear yet love so well Within cathedral walls A la| -t un-us bliss I feel; No love my soul enthrals, For a holy peace I feel. But hark! a sweet voice falls With the organ's swelling peal— A voice that flutters to my breast, Like angel's voice. Like my love's voice. That brings not peace but strange unrest. Wild ocean, dark and vast! Thy billows bring joy to me; Thy thundering, angry blast Bears a message of hope to me; For naught of love tliou hast. And from love I fain would flee. Alas 1 -whence comes this floating niist, Like stars" soft tears — Like my love's tears. Who weeps now 1 am gone, I wist? O nature blest! I bear Thy messages fraught with love* Thy many voices clear sing over of my sweet love. No longer now I fear, For thou dost speak from above. No longer fear, for now thy peace Is my soul's peace. Is my love's peace-- Two bound in olic eternal peace! Clifford Smyth. Placer Sam’s Investment. From the St. Pa ul Globe. Placer Sam told me of a green lad, unused to the ways of the West,who one day wandered into Confederate gulch and applied for work. There was no one there who wanted to hire help, and lie was told to prospect. He didn't understand what the word meant, and insisted that someone should put him to work mid give him an opportunity to earn his daily bread. Tiring of ins persistence, one day when the lad made his usual application for work with a sal ary attachment, a miner picked up a stone from the ground, and throwing it, out upon an unbroken spot in the gulch, told him to get a pick and shovel and dig. The lad did as he was bid, a.id as he quietly kept at his work day after day and paid no particular attention to any one. tie* miners, pleased at. lasi to have gotten riil of him, studiously left him to himself. lor six months he kept up his digging, and at the end of that time surprised I he camp hy hav ing a mul - team and hiring a company of twenty five armed men to watch the nail kegs, filled to the brim with glittering gold dust taken from tie ground on which the stone, tossed hy u careless nand. had fallen. The kegs were loacie ! behind the mules, and under the eyes of the twenty-five men were earned through the mountains and across the plains to Omaha, where ii was disposed of and t lie handsome pro ceeds picketed oy the lucky lad. 1 asked Un man what was the name of the fellow who had made I lie Pig striae. and with ft jalial the staves of the keg with ills kuit'e, he replied: “It was me.” 1 was considerably surprised, hut not satis fied, and. continuing the conversation, asked him if lie had the money invested, ami he said lie had invested every cent.
