BLAGS AVOTHIi BALLOT aS-SECBTARY HCGH M’CL LLOCH IAKES AN ADDRESa presWer Lincoln in Favor of a Prop e--y r Educa ional Qualification pjstridn* Negro Suffi-age-Danger Q f puf’ff the Ballot in the Hands of the Igorant. WasWGTOW. Jan. 2. —Ex-Secretary Hugh MCulloch, who was a member of r eeidei Lincoln’s cabinet, has written a L jtaiiie iter, which was read at the cele bration f the emancipation proclamation teid bv te colored eo. le of this vicinity at Alexudria yesterday. In it he said: ••It was, know, the opinion of Mr. Lincoln and other'riends of the colored people—it was certnl/ mine—that some qualifica tion, such s the ownership of taxable prop erty or abity to read and write, or both, should has: been required for the exercise of the rigb to vote, as an inducement for the acquisdon of what is needful on the part, of a sif-governing people. The ballot, la the bans of those interested in the pub lic welfareimi possessed of the intelligence toureit and cree.ly, is an important and beneficial p > er. then it is a menace. “In the hands of ignorant, poverty s*ricken rim, who are the dupes of those wuo make >oiitics a trade, it is an instru ment of nischief and mischief only. It is the fear of he governing class that the col ored vote viil be controlled by bad men for perniciots purposes that prevents a full and free balot in most of the southern states. Ths franchise, as used by a large part of naturalized citizens, is a menace to the very Lf of our free institutions. It is to be hopedtt at our state laws will >ooti be do changed is to put restrictions upon the voting power of immigrants, but it is neither possioln or dwsiraD.e that the right to vote should ie taken from the native born colored jeople. Whether the uncon d ti.msl right t> the use of the ballot was wisely bestowal upon them, whether they are only nominally freemen, or freemen in fact, depends i,on themselves. the akucan race inferior. “There is a pervading opinion that the Africans are naturally an inferior race; ttat if they had not been the dark clouds of ignorance and barbarism which have for ages rested upon a great and fertile country would long sines have been among the civilized nations of the world. There are good but inconclusive ground* for this opin ion. Other race*, especially those of Euro pean origin, had supe ior advantages for enlightenment and culture. There was a tiuia wheu they abo were barbarians. 1 ’ DIXIE'S solidity. Further on he says the south will cerse to be politically solid when the colored vote is divided, as it will be when the voters do their own hi king and vote according to their personal feelings and principles. The whites have always been divided, and pretty evenly divided, upon political questions hen not united in defending common rights. So will the blacks be when freed from outside pressure. They will become members of the two great political parties iDto which the coun try has ever t een divided. Some will be re publicans and some democrats. To neither party are fcuey indebted for their freedom. This was bestowed as a mightier neees-ity to 6ave the union, and it should be used for the common good and the preservation of free institutions. As they become inde pendent voteis they will stand practica ly, as wallas legally, in political equality with the whites. AFRAID of cloture. The Conservative Republican Element to Be Given More Time, b ashinqton, Jan. 2.—Some quiet con sultation has been in progress among the republican senators now in the city in refer ence to next week’s proceedings. Tha speaches made by Senators Teller and Wol cott last Tuesday have made some impres sion, but, as they were expected, their effort was not so marked as that result ing from a few remarks made by Senator Hale. In his complaint that a trial had not been made of the old-fashioned methods to secure action upon the elections bill, he undoubtedly votced the feelings of some other conservative republican senators jvho feel that it would be unwise to change the rules and adopt cloture until the usual routine methods had proven to be inef fective. TO ALLOW A TRIAL. The talk among the senators this morn ing revealed a disposition to allow this con servative element to satisfy itself bv an actual trial of the futility of the old system ot campaign, which resolves itself into a matter of physical endurance. This would involve the holding of night sessions of the cerate in addition to the daylight sessions. Just bow many no one can tell, but as many as raav be necessary to convince the senators wbo are stiii reluctant to admit the necessity for a cloture rule. Inasmuch as there is a general desire among the republican sena tors to confer upon the subjct in caucus, tueie was no disposition evidenced to ar range a programme upon this basis to-dav Dnt the general tone of the discussion may e significant as foreshadowing odo of the results of ti*e caucus.

Santa Fk. N. M., Dec. 16.—One of the strangest tales of superstition comes from the mountain regions of Arizona, hardly a score of miles from the capital of that ter ritory. Here is a lone mountain peak called Mount Superstition, a name given it by a race of Indians that at a very early period roamed over this part of the country, which at a later epoch became the hunting ground of the Apaches. Prior to the establishment of missions, which the archives show to have bern more than two centuries ago, there came up the Sait river valley a strange tube of Indians, who settled at the foot of Superstition mountain. Their stature was about four feet, and they came into the valley 1,000 strong, and Drought with them a drove of sheep. These strange Invaders were peace ful, and followed fa ming, and the Apaches regarded them as possi-s>ing supernatural powers, and for this reason the squatter tribe was not molested. Toe In dians at onoe began work by irrigat ing and tilling the soil. On the summit of the mountain they built a stone wall, where at night they slept in security from the en croachments of their warlike neighbors. The religious rites of the strangers sur prised the Apaches. When the sun rose on the eastern slopes, the dwarfs would rise, and, facing the orb of light, stand motion less until it bad risen above the mountains. Then they wou and lie face downward for several momnts, during which incantations were performed by the medicine men, after which they would rise and go about their daily work. The dwarf* occupied their little domain for five years, when the Apaches, who had traded with the “little men,” were given a surprise. The Apacnes had often noticed that the central figure in all tr e religious rites of the dwarfs had beeu a woman much taller than the dwarfs, comma ding in ap pearance, with a whits skin and long flow ing light hair. In their ignora co and superstition the Apaches attached to this queen supernatural powers. During the five years they had never seen this woman iu the valley, and they noted that the little Indians regarded her as a deity. About the middle of the summer of the fifth year the Apaches learned tnat a body of armed warriors were marching into the country from the south. They prepared for de fense, but learned that the coming war riors were only in search of the dwarfs, and they abandonded hostilities. 111 the meantime the Apaches noted the agitation of the dwarfs, and saw them mak ing preparations for resisting a foe. Great piles of stones were piled on the elgesof the precipices overlooking tho valleys, the sheep were drlveu into the mountains and the rude farming utensils taken to the sum mit. The Apache*, who are natural born assassins, had no grievance against the dwarfs, but were not displeased with the prospects of war, for they thought it would be to their gain. The chief of the Zunis, as the invaders called themselves, told a strange story to account for the hostilities of the tribe against the dwarfs. He said that a dozen years before the priests of his tribe had journeyed to the waters of the rising sun. Here they found among a tribe of Indians a beautiful pale-faced squaw. By a barter the priests secured the woman, and brought her home, where she was held in high ven eration and reverence. The tribe regarded her as possessing supernatural powers. The chief now in command of tha invaders pro posed to wed her, but she took refuge with the dwarfs, who were a branch of their tribe, which was an offshoot of the Pueblo Indians. The chief commanded the dwarfs to sur render the pale-faced squaw, but they par leyed and migrated. The chief had now come to secure the woman and punish the dwarfs. The invading warriors were about 700 strong, and were armed with bows and arrows, rough spears and stone battle axes. The dwarfs were scarcely armed at all, and the Apache3 figured on easy victory for the invaders. The armed warriors followed the mountain ridge and approached Supersti tion mountain without attempting to scale its steep sides. It was on a bright warm afternoon that the minder* approached the fort. Not a person was in sigut but one, and she, the white woman, stood outside the rough walls, by the side of a muddy pool, about 100 feet from the wall. She knew that not an ar row would he shot or a spear thrown at her, and she stood there, her hair streaming in ihe breeze, a picture of beauty that even the untutored Indians could not help but Rdmire, a fitting gauntlet of battle for the knight errants of old. Urged by their chief, the Indians made a wild rush toward her; but she stood still, the most perfect con fidence marked in every feature of her beautiful face. When the foe was but a Bhort distance away she picked up an alia— or earthen jar—and emptied the coutents into the pool, then ran quickly, scaling the wall by a ladder that was drawn up after her. In a moment halls of fire seemed to roll over the mountain. Many of the Indians fell dead on their way to the fort; others, terror-stricken, jumped over the precipices and met their death. The chief was one of the first killed, and the disorganized band retreated, while the Apache sentinels who had been stationed to watch the battle fled in terror. Several hundred of the invaders perished, and not an arrow was fired. The I.idians who escaped said at once that their defeat was brought about by the Great Spirit, and returned home. After this the wonderful powers of the white squaw were spread through the country into every Indian tribe, and was sufficient for a time to protect the dwarfs. Two years after this a band of Chiricahua warriors, the most bloodthirsty of the Apache nation, visited the Pinals in the valley. While intoxicated on pulque thsy attacked the dwarfs, and met a like re ception to the Zunis, which killed many of them. From this time the little dwnrfs v ere un molested for several summers, when they disappeareda3 suddenly as thsy came, going to the southward. The Apaches called the woman "‘Pale-faced Lightui.ig,” and claimed that she had disappeared in a blaze of fire, and that the dwarfs, knowing their protector had gone, fled to a more secure place. The spirit of the pale-faced squaw is now supposed to reside in a cave in the mountain, and not one of the Indians can be hired to this day to go up Superstition mountaiu. The phenomenon that so surprised the Indians is explained by a gentleman resid ing at Phoenix, Ari.—P. C. Bickuall. he says that on the north side of the precipice, near the old fortification, is a dyke of pyrit ous iron, and on the south side the mineral appears in the form of copperas. In the latter there was a small hole in which water, impregnated with salt, was con stantly dripping. From this, across the mountain, were veins of oopper in the native state. The copper stringers connecting the ledges rested on a kind of slag, produced by volcanic heat. Here was a positive and negative pole, connected with a good elec tro coi duotor, and a chemical decomposi tion that would produce a current suffi ciently strong to be destructive to animal life. Hamilton’s “Resources of Arizona,” third edition, 1884, makes reference to the “Cave of the Spirit Mother,” as it was called by the Indians, which is supposed to be the cave where the spirit of the white squaw lingers, as follows: “In another cave on the south side of Salt river, on removing the debris, pieces of cotton and cotton cloth have been found six feet below the present floor. The relics were in a good state of preservation, the cotton being of a silky fiber. One of tha pieces of cloth showed a rude attempt at ornamentation, having small eyelets worked up by some sharp-pointed instru ment.” The author might have added that the crumbling bones of a solitary human being were also fonnd in the cave.

PIEROLA'S UPRISING DOWNED IN LESS THAN AN HOUR. CoL Toledo Killed While Leading an Attack on the Barracks-Two of His Companions Mortally Wounded— Other Conspirators Make a Dis astrous At- ack on the Depot of Arms and Are Repulsed. Panama, Jan. 2.—On Dsc. 2 another revolutionary effort was made in Lima in behalf of Ex-Dictator Pierola. Wnm Pierola was {recently imprisoned in Lima the prefect of that capital was Col. Aruro Morales Toledo, who in past years had been on most intimate terms with the then conspirator and subsequent dictator. The consequence of this renewal of friendship was that when Gen. Pierola escaped CoL Toledo was arrested as an accomplice to the prisoner's escajie. By the direct influence of Gen. Caceres, CoL Toledo was released under his word of honor not to leave the capital. TOLEDO ATTACKS THE BARRACKS. No one dreamed of any disturbance oc curring, when suddenly Col. Toledo, accom panied by friends, presented him-elf at the door of Santa Catalina, the artillery bar racks of Lima, with a revolver in his baud, and, proclaiming Pierola dictator, made his entrance into the fortress, tne guard at th • gate having been tampered with. But it so happe ed that a battalion of iufantry, tho Ayacucho, numbering 600 men, was sta tioned iu the fort, and the company, seizing their rifles, prepared to resist the few in vaders. TOLEDO MORTALLY WOUNDED. Orders to fire wero given, and at tho first discharge CoL Toledo and two of bis com panions fell, mortally wounded. But the other conspirators were in the movement at the rear of the barracks with the intention of seizing the extensive depot of rifles and ammunition stored in tho fort, and, unaware of the fate of the.r leaner, proceeded to the accomplishment of that object, but with similar failure. Mean time the report.* of musketry had alarmed the city. A cierra puertas, or closing of ail doors, was resorted to, as is customary. The people were rushing to their homes aud no one knew the extent of the movement. It was believed to i e a fight between the Ayacuc o battalion and the artillery regiment, be tween whom jealousy was known to exist. But the president, minister of war, prefect and a powerful escort speedily reached the barracks, only to see the dead bodies of the unfortunate aspirants, and to learn the utter overthrow of the projected plan. PIEROLA’S WAIT. Gen. Pierola, with a few followers, was at the farm of Sunta Beatrice, near the expo sition, awaiting the signal to approach, which was to have been the firing of a can non. The defeat was so immediate that no signal could be given, and the ex dictator was disappointed. The mor tality is reported at twenty-six, mostly officers, and on the part of tho assailants. In the neighborhood of the fort another party of conspirators awaited an oppor tunity to scale the walls, and in the cou fusion seize the depot of arms, but from the failure of those inside to secure the keys this party sought safety in flight. The whole occurrence was over in three quarters of an h ur. COAL MINERS STRIKE. Thirty Mines Along the Mcnongahola River Now Idle. Pittsburg, Pa., Jau. 2.—Thirty coal mines along the Monongahelariver are now idle on account of the strike for an advance for one-half a cent per bushel in the price of mining. About 8,000 men are out, and the strikers claim that the strike will be general in a few days. The operators say they will not grant the advance, and have arranged for au indefinite suspension of operations. Postal Registration Fees. Washington, Jan. 2.—Representative Abner Taylor of Illinois to-day introduced in the House a bill providing that the rato chargeable for registration on domestic mail matter shall be 5 cents for each piece in addition to regular postage. Ih9 Opium Curse in Tahiti. From the San Francisco Chronicle. The b- ig Percy Edwards arrived yester day from the Marquesas islands, which be long to the Tahitian group. Among the passengers were Charles Zegler, who has resided at Taiohae, a seaport in the island of Nukuhiva, for many years. He brings with him a native wife and three bealthy looking, half-caste children. Mr. Zegler says that he intends to make his homo here. “There is little or no encourage ment ex tended to settlers in the island,” said he. “The natives are dying out rapidly, the re sult of vicious habits and disease. Leprosy is getting a strong hold there, but the amount of resistance w hich many of the victims offer to the dread malady is ast ,n --ishing. There is a leper on the island of Nukuhiva who is 75 years old, and still is able to walk aud help himself. Opium is imported into the islands, aud the < pium habit has spread all over. The greater por tion of the Tahitians on my island are con firmed opium eaters. They use the drug to excess, and it kills them off by the dozen. The restrictions on the importation of opium are very lax.” Phillips’ Digestible Cocoa Produces a feeling of lightness and buoyancy, as against that of weight, headache and depres - sion, so common with the ordinary cocoa.

We won’t want them when the festive sea son is over—would rather Ist them go now. Soma people, perhaps fearing “Christmas prices,” resolved to wait and mike their presents after Christmas. They come in now. We will make the loss at once and be dbne with it, therefore this Is the oppor tunity for those who waited. Vases, Cut Glass, Japanese Goods, Lamps, fine Crock ery aud China, Bronzes, Statues, Onyx Tables, Brass Stands and Table", novel Brie a-Brae, etc. All must be cleared out; prices won’t disappoint you. Our Diamond, Jewelry aud Silverware Departments are still amply supplied. Of course it is not necessary always to sell valuables at a loss, it would he like offering half-eagles lor four seventy-five. We will, however, skin our profit to the bone to reduce stock. This is another oppor tunity for tardy buyers. Wedding presents are still in order. Perhaps you belong to some society. Elec tion period is at hand, and you may wunt to present some esteemed officer or colleague with a handsome Silver Piece or Set, or a Gold-handled Cane or Umbrella. We can please you. Engraving, suitable iuscrip tion, etc. Drop in and see our stock, get our prices and you oan’t help investing profitably to yourself. Sternberg’s, — Ad. 157 Broughton.
