Nenafor Lamar.
Whatever the extent of the disaffection
In Mississippi toward Senator Lamar, wo
cannot help bat believe that it is based
upon a false apprehension of facts. That
there are men in the Democratic party,
and in Mississippi, that are exceedingly
anxious to occupy a place In the United
Slates Senate no one can doubt; and that
they would be willing to use questionable
means to secure that end may be readily
believed. But we do not believe tho peo
ple of that State will permit any suck
questionable methods to defeat Mr. La
mar. He has made mistakes like other
men, but he has at the same time mado a
character for wisdom and prudence, and
a Senatorial reputation of which any
State might be proud. Somo of the
names placed hi opposition to Mr. Lamar
for his seat in tbeSenatc belong to gentle
men of unquestionable sagacity and abil
ity, and under other circumstances we
would be glad to see them honored by
occupying this responsible position. Just
at this juncture, however, Mr. Lamar can
effect more for bis State and for the South
than any new man can do, however tran
scendent his ability. Wo trust that the
people of Mississippi will seo that he is
returned to his place in the United States
Senate.
1 lie Lewe «f<be Cincinnati Southern.
The Cincinnati TYmes-Star,of Saturday,
referring to the acceptance by the trustees
of the above road of the bid for its lease
by Fred Wolffe, representing the Erlan-
ger syndicate and the probable action of
Col. Cole in reference thereto, Lad the
following:
Col. E. W. Cole, president of tho East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad,
arrived in the city this morning in com
pany with his secretary, W. W. McKoun,
and the attorney of the road, Col. Julius
L. Brown.
They registered at the Graud Hotel,
and soon after their arrival a consultation
was held between these gentlemen and
Colonel T. C. Campbell, the attorney for
the line of roads at this point, and the
proposed lease of the Southern road was
discussed in all its bearings. The
claims of Colonel Cole the attorneys con
sidered good and fully decided to take the
matter into court if the Erlanger bid wa3
accepted. They would, however, com
promise by allowing one-third of the
stock to b8 held by some Cincinnati com
pany, one-third by the Erlaugers and
one-third by Colonel Cole, and this could
be done by a mutual agreement between
tbe parties interested. If, however, the
Erlanger bid was accepted, they would
never be permitted to close the contract.
An injunction would be allowed and tbe
rights of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia would be maintained in the
courts.”
As stated in our telegrams yesterday,
tbe commissioners will meet to-day to
ascertain, positively, whether or not
Wolffe represents the Erlanger interest.

Mow Prohibition woo SmiMlsod la
North Corollas.
A Raleigh letter in the New York-Simof
the 5th, aheds a bright light ol explanation
on the recent Waterloo the temperance
folks sustained in North Carolina. As
other Soulbren States, perhaps Georgia,
may conclude in the near future to try
the same experiment, we give them some
facts and figures in the North Carolina
case that may light their path. The Sun’s
correspondent says:
The negroes were told by tbe Republi
can executive committee that the prohibi
tory law was an attempt to revive, in an
other form, the authority exercised over
them by Uie whites when they were slaves.
They were reminded that in old Demo
cratic slavery times they could not buy
whisky or anything else without a pass
from their masters, and that under the
proposed law they could not buy whisky
or beer without a certificate or pass from
a doctor. The white people could send
off to Norfolk, Petersburg and Charleston
and buy whisky by the barrel; while a
poor man could buy only a small quan
tity of a druggist, on a certificate from a
doctor that he needed It as medicine. No
more convincing argument than this could
be addressed to the mind of a negro. Tire
Republican politicians, backed by tbe
liquor manufacturers and dealers, chuck
led over it in advance, as tbe card that
was sure to win, and they were not out in
their reckonings. It waa potent with the
more Ignorant whites, as well as the
blacks, and wlien the overwhelming de
feat of prohibition became a certainty in
advance of the election, the candidates
for popular favor wbo had been ready to
support it when there seemed to be a
probability of its success, deserted the
sinking cause, and went over to swell the
triumph of its success.
The vote, in all but ona county, which
is not officially reported, is 43,001 for pro
hibition, and 104,133 against. The ma
jority, therefore, is 110,072, with one to
two thousand to be added when the fall
returns are received.
With rare exceptions, the large major!-
ties for whiskey are all in the east and
middle counties, in which the negroes
constitute half or more of the population.
Edgecombe, for Instance, which in 1879
prohibition majority
tie, Caswell, Craven, Franklin, Gran
ville, Johnston, Martin, Nash, Pitt, Wake,
Wayne and Warren, in which the whltos
and blacks are nearly equal, bat with a
slight majority of the latter, all give anti-
prohibition majorities, ranging from 2,000
to 3,000. Wake,'with perhaps a small
white majority of citizens since a new.
county has been cat off, bat with a' con'
siderable white Republican vote, gives an
anti-prohibition majority of 4,151. As a
rule, the prohibition strength has been
shown in tho counties containing tho
smallest proportion of colored people
an 1 Republicans; and the tour counties in
which tue temperance people carried the
day by small majorities, all He up In tbe
mountains and containing but a few ne
groes. These are Cherokee, Clay, Tran
sylvania and Yancey, which In 1870 con
tained 8,443 whites and 1,000 blacks.
Their aggregate majority for prohibition
is only 225; bat this small preponderance
is sufficient to show that the temperance
cause is stronger in the mountain regions
where the illicit distillers and moonshin
ers reside than In the countiers where the
colored imputation and the Republicans
are dominant.
Change In the Calendar Year
In au Ingenious article, the St. Lonls
Globe-Democrat has much to say about
the beginning of the calendar year, claim
ing that September would be far prefera
ble to January. Wo quoto tbe following
as part of tho article in question ;
The choice is an appropriate one. To
almost every class except tbe agricultu
rist, the summer is the ciesura of tbe hu
man year. Then comes a relaxation of en
ergy and drcumstauces conspire to invite
rest and recreation. Those who can
afford it leave the cities. A lull comes
upon business, and a practical tribute is
paid to laziness—that much-maligned
quality, which, after all, ic many cases, is
nothing more than Nature’s protest against
the abuse of enduranco. Bat witli the
coming cf September the dormant energies
begin to wake. There is all around a
girding up of loins for real work. A new
life Is imparted to business circles. The
era of listlessness and languor is over.
The very atmosphere becomes significant
that a new order of things has set in.
There is no good reason why tho calen
dar year should begin on the first of Jan-
nary, and there is quite a number of rea
sons why it should not. There is no per
ceptible change iu nature at tiiat time. It
is right in the midst ot a natural season,
and it marks nothing more than a con
ventional holiday of short duration among
men. It has no reference to the equi
noxes and none to human industries.
There is a fair claim to the truth iu the
proposition that the year should com
mence with the awakening of vegetation.
To the farmer this seems the proper ar
rangement, but though the farmer is an
essential factor in the economy of human
ity, it is questionable whether all the rest
of the world should be compelled to cut
their cloth by his pattern. September
certainly is the venial season of human
activity, with the one single exception
noted. There is then a revival of business
vigor and intellectual vigor. Then the
schools and colleges begin their year’s la
bor. Then the children enter upon the
busy scene of workers, and, with bright
faces and apparel, tradge with their books
to tbeir recitations. There is a wonder
ful amount of juvenile energy let loose in
September, and it has a visible effect upon
the general harmony of action. The col
lege student packs bis trunk tor the year’s
campaign, and leaves home with a vast
amount of schemes, wise and otherwise,
in his crauintn. Then tho school-teacher
and professor put ou their armor aud en
ter upon the siege. Then a new energy
is breathed upon the pnipit. Tho pastor
returns from his vacation with a renewed
strength to battle against Satan. Then
the lawyer settles down to his briefs, and
tbe courts attack in earnest tbo accumu
lated cases which have been piled up dar
ing tbe iuterreguuiu. It is to be lamented
that crime never takes a vacation. That
element seems to thrive all the more lor
tho repression of other activities.

Tbe A pao tics.
This tribe of Iudiaus has again startled
tbe country with the horrors of tbe mas
sacre. We believe that is what tbe pa
pers term it. There is a degree of horror
about the expression, but It is more re
fined than to call it murder. And yet it is
nothing but murder by tho wholesale.
There are many things connected with
this Indian question which ought to be
changed, and wo should think that public
opinion would demand a reform in the
wholo policy. It certainly is high time
that this exposure of a handful of brave
men to Indian attacks was stopped-
What else can it be but dooming these
men to certain death? If General Can-
had been In a position to meet the enotny
with something like their own numbers,
the result would have bean quite differ
ent. We are glad to chronicle that the
affair was not so senous as at first an
nounced, yet tbc-toliy of the government
is none the less apparent.
The signal service has been of in
calculable value to commerce by
foretelling the approach of dan
ger. And yet the government has
never taken any notice of the indications
so often reported by those who are exposed
to tbe fury of Indian atrocities, of an ap
proaching outbreak of these hostile par
ties. Victorio’s outbreak and his subse
quent death Mter a long and weary cam
paign, did not impress upon tbe authori
ties tbe necessity of preparing to meet
other like demonstrations. This was fol
lowed by Nana’s cruol slaughter. Iu fact,
tbe Apache nation has been in a state of
unrest_for over a year past, until the day of
real calamity has corns. It is humiliating
to know that notwithstanding ail of the
earnest appeals of settlers In New Mexico
and Arizona, and the menacing attitude
of the Indian tribes, there are only 1,300
men as a military force, to face the emer
gency of an Indian war. The govern
ment has treated the wholo affair as if it
were of little moment. Now, when there
Is but little hope tor the rescue of
the settlers, the army seem to he in
a great commotion and tho government
credited with doing all It can to send re
lief.
But as we above remarked the whole
policy needs changing and the adminis
tration of it placed in competent hands.
The present system would douhtie33.have
proved more efficacious if It had not fallen
into the hands of canting hypocrites and
dishonest contractors. But the treaty
system will have to be abandoned sooner
or later. The Indian most he placed upon
the same footing with the white and the
black man and no longer be regarded as
separate power to be diplomatically
treated with. Let them be subject to the
same laws as other people. If tbey com
mit mnrder or steal, let them be hung or
sent to the State prison as any one else

Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, is reported to

at all events that he calls himself such

and that it is his duty to secure that ascen

ho wtih to give the Senate to tlie Republi

do otherwise? If Mr. Beck has ceased to

Hr. Urlfllu'H Smart Dog.

There is n dog on tho corner of Bancroft
street and Willow avenue, Council Bluffs,
which recently displayed such marked de
tective ingenuity as to certainly merit no
tice, if not a star. This sagacious animal
belongs to Mr. M. O. Griffin. It seems that
Mr. Griffin was awakened in the night re
cently by the barking of his dog in the
yard. He got up, took his revolver, and
went down there. Not sceiug or hearing
anybody, Mr. Griffin repaired to his room
nnd retired. But still Leo kopt up his
growling and barking somewhat louder
:han before. Mr. Griffin again arose, went
down stairs, and stepped ont into tho yard,
with revolver in hand, Tho dog approach
ed him, licked his band, nnd then ran nnd
leaped oyer the fence. Tho dog apparently
meant bis roaster to follow him. This Mr.
Griffin did. He followed the dogtotho cellar
door of hi3 stare and found that an en
trance had been effected by brenking the
ha=p off the same. Mr. Griffin entered the
cellar, and, notwithstanding ho missed
nothing, he knew that somo somo one had
been in tho collar and had tried to get into
tho store above. At this Leo was satisfied
nnd ceased barking for tho night. Next
morning Mr. Griffin’s attention was called
to loud barking by Leo. He stopped to tho
front of his store. Tho dog had stopped a
man ou tho sidewalk nnd wonld not allow
him to pass. The gentleman-at-large told
Mr. Griffin that if he didn’t take care of his
dog he wonld shoot him. At this juncture
Mr. Griffin invited him inside and there
took the liberty of accusing him of break
ing into his store tho night before. The
man said he was insulted by such base in
sinuations, and startod for tlie door, when
Leo followe 1 him out and keptnp his bark
ing. Mr. Griffin was so sure that he was
not mistaken that be reported the case to
police headqnarters. Tho man was arrest
ed end taken before ’dqnire Burke, where
he confessed that the dog had found him
lessor lights. The constitutional provis- ]
ion is ample to meet tbe emergency, and
plain enough to bo understood by ail.
There is no use for any additional legis

of the fact that Congress will soon assem
