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 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.

Mr. Jay Gould returned to Now York BMtlrduy front his Southern trip of two weeks, and which extend ed as f*f South as Jacksonville, Fju. Mr. Gould said to an interviewer that whut he had «een on his trip convinced him that the old South is to-duy un excellent place for tho investment of Eastern capital, and that tho people of the old ; South uro infinitely more interested in the de* vulopciiunt of their own welfare and of the nutional proaperitv than they are in politics.

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, Ala., says : “Car loads of coni have been shipped here this season, and we think it a riflecUou upon the farming ooinmuuity. No people cau hope to prosper and have plenty un 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.
