whether, if left to himself, he would
have seltcud more than one mutt

The others represent no less tlun
lour distinct elements of the-Repub*
lican party, and were accepted by
the President at the suggestion of
others, in the hope that a compro
mise Cabinet would restore and pro
mote harmony in the party. It does
not seem to have had that effect, and
the President is reported to be about
reaching the conclusion that it would
have been better had be pleased him
self and not undertaken to please
others.”
There has been some trouble at
Decatur Illinois, owing to tho fuct
that u number of negroes have been
ullowed to buy reserved seats in the
Opera House. Tlte white patrons
of the theater have informed the
manager that unless the practice
is stopped, they would not utteml his
theater. The manager then issued
oiders to the effect that" no more
ticket* should be sold to negroes,
und this action on his part brought
forth a lusty howl from the colored
people und their white Iriends, but
the manager remained firm and said

Willie Johns, accused of burning
and robbing Mr. Dan Lott's store in
Coffee county, has been lynched. The
Berrien County News gives tho fol
lowing particulars of the affair:
“Soon after he was arrestrd Johns
was placed in charge of five men, who
leit Dixonia with him. The fourth
or fifth day alterwards the prisoners
body was found at Indian Ford, on
Seventeen Milo creek. His head was
literally shot to pieces, and a lurge
portion of his bruin was found tight
ly grasped in one of his hands. The
sight wup a most sickening und hor-
rible one. At the inquest two of the
men who had churgc of the prisoner
when he left Dixonia, testified that
they did nt>t know who the firing
party were, und u verdict was ren
dered that the deceused came to his
death ut the hands of an unknown
party or parties. A family living
near Iudian Ford say thut they dis
tinctly heard the report of five guns
in the direction of the ford, one duy
last week, and supposed it was some
hunting party. It is rumored that
the guards were overpotvered by u
body of armed and unknown men,
who seized Johns, and after taking
hint to Indian Ford, shot him to
death.”
The only cure for indolence is work
the only cure for selfishness is sac-
rufic"; the only cure unbelief is to
shake off the ague of doubt by doing
your conscience’s bidding; the only
cine for timidity is to plunge into
gome dreaded duty before the chill
comes on.

such a tempest in tlm Republican
party that gruvo fears are express
ed nt •Washington that it may fa
tally split tho party throughout the
■country. It D declared that it will
he fatal if tho President does not
withdraw these nominations. On
tho other hand, it is announced that
it will be fatal if he does. Other
minor appointments are equally
uufortuuuto. There is even begin

Mr. Gould said to an interviewer
that whut he had «een on his trip

that tho people of the old ; South uro

A quarrel, begun on tdection duy
lit Deer Creek precinct, tn Greysou
county, Kentucky, caused the kill
ing of one man. Later, the feud was
roftewtd, and a fearful affray occur*
red, in which the weapons used were
fence rails, stones and knives. Reese

cipals, was bound over to keep tho

leuving tho Magistrates’s ollice last
Saturday, the day of Horton’s trial,
tno quarrel wus renewed by tbe put*

were terribly gashed. It is feared
that the entire community'Will be in

As there are able and ready deba
ters upon both sides of the Senate,
neither purty is ever likply to obtain
the mastery in discussion there ex
cept when it is clearly in the right.
The present contest aifonU an illus
tration. Though the Republican
side has a number of skilled and
ready debaters, the weight of the
right upoh the Democratic side jas
insured success to the latter in each
day’s discussion. The Muhone-Gor-
ham bargain is so utterly indefensi
ble upon uny ground but thutof tem
porary expediency, thut the Republi
can Senators have made but sorry
work iti endeavoring to justify it.
The Weekly News, oi Tuskeegee,

til they leiiru to live at home* It.is
emphatically necessary for the per
manent growth of uny country, that
what is consumed should be made
by the planters. Tbe sooner this
truth is prucnced tbe better.”
