He said substan tially that the high protective tariff is a good tiring for tlie manufacturer, b> ■ is burdensome to the wage earner. I h* effect of a high protective tariff ji n said, to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer. It is a source of satisfaction that Mr. Powderly has told the Knights of Labor the change that has taken place in his views on the tariff, because they will be indue need by what he'has said to give the tariff' uiore thought than they have heretofore. The workingmen have been always so much under the iutlucnce of the manufacturers that they have never given the tariff' issue much thought. They have accepted to a great extent the view their employers took of it. and, in doing so, supposed, t i. t they were serving t»«;- own inter ests. Mr. Powderly’s <'v«nge of front will doubtless open the -«yes to thejex- traoidiiiary bunl w v.-h the protect ive tariff' impo - them,and at the next nntiona tion they may show by their v that a wonderful change has taken I ce in their views with re spect to the tariff issue. The last national campaign was an edacutional oue, so far as the tariff' was concerned. Mr. Cleveland’s tariff mes sage to congress started the people to flunking about the tariff'. If the cam paign had been a little longer tlie chances are that Cleveland and tariff re form would have triumphed. The edu cational campaign which Mr. Cleve land inaugurated, however, is produc ing good results. Two great republi can states virtually approved tariff' re form in the electious this month, and the tariff' reform leaven is beginning to have a marked effect among tlie work- ng men. .'.Jo- From a reliable gentleman who lives near Paoli, over in Madison county, who was in the city last eight, we learn the particulars of a difficulty between the whites and blacks that had a fatal ending. Of iate years politics in that county have been in a ^demoralized condition, owing to a split among the whites that gave the negroes the balance of power. This made them very insolent and dic tatorial, and at the last term of court forty of them signed a paper and sent it to tlie Judge demanding that their names be placed in the jury box. No attention was paid to this request. That enraged them, and they began to organize all over the county and openly threatened to exterminate the whites and take forcible possession of their lands. Notices were sent several prom inent gentlemen ordering them to quit the county on short notice. Around Paoli, a little town about five miles from the Elbert line, the blacks were especially insolent, and this section seemed the head centre of the insurrec tion. A short time since a large crowd of armed' negroes came into the town for tlie avowed purpose of killing a re spectable and quiet white gentleman, but he had received timely information of their intention, and had a strong guard of friends to protect him. The negroes then withdrew, with threats of returning at some future time. This lawless spirit rapidly spread among the blacks all over Madispu county, and they began to hold meet ings and organize. The white ladies and children were kept in constant alarm, and the citizens saw that unless something was done to quiet the ne groes their county would soon be en gaged in a race war. Thcr leader of the negroes was named William Parham, and he was the first signer of the petition to Judge Lump kin. Several nights ago a body of nn known men took him out and gave the fellow a genteel whipping, with or ders to leave the county which he did, going to Atlanta. On Friday night last another body of disguised .men went to 'a negro house on Mr. Tomlinson 4 s place, about two miles from Paoli, on the Moon’s ferry road, and surrounding the build ing ordered the inmates to come out. One of them, a quiet old negro, a para lytic named Tom Moss, tried to escape and was shot and instantly killed. The house was then invaded and a negro named Gray, from Elbert county, and a leader of ilit ri ders was shot and at the time was th-u<ht lo be fatally wounded, but he is now in a fair way to recover. A negro woman was after wards arrested and is now in fail at Daniels vi lie. At first it was thought that the shoot- lng was done by white men, but it lias since been proven that it was the work of negroes, who took occasion to settle old grudges among themselves. A ne gro earn* to Dauclsville and swore out warrants against against several white men, but they established alibis. One of the negroes in the hoiise at the time testified that the regulators were all blacks. Siucg this killing the negroes all over the county "are quieting down, aud no further trouble is anticipated. The" whites have hereafter decided to nominate candidates by primary elec tions, which will retire the negroes from politics.

In August, 1884, a Buit was begun agaist Wilcox by Mrs. Nellie Blackford, a handsome and stylish widow of 85 years, for her dower right in tho estate. Mrs. Blackford asserted that she was the wife of old W leoxaud that she had been secretly married to him in 1881, in Montreal, on board of a steamer lying at the dock. Young Wilcox fought the claim. The suit finallv ended in a com promise by which ^irs- Blackford, or Wilcox, received $20,000. In the course of the trial evidence was given to show that Blackford, her first hu^bau l, had gone west in 137(5, ami had di*'<l there.
