Deah Km.' As my name lias l>een men

for Congress in this District. 1 desire to :
nay to yon, and through you to the con
vi uSou to assemble at Albany, on Thurs- ;
day next, for the purpose of nominating ,
a candidate for Cougrss iu the 2nd Con*

I aui truly grateful to my friends for tltp
manifestation of this friendship uriil con
fidence made to me ill person as well us
through the press.
The names of other gentlemen have
been presented by their friends, also,
and I ilo not desire to antagonize or tie in
the way Id either of them.
I know all the gentlemen whose names
J have seen mentioned or uggested. 1 haven
a slight acquaintance with Judge Clm ke,
Col Fielder, Cot. Kennoll, and Col Gray
of the western section of the District all,
in my judgement, good men mid sound
Democrats. 1 know well, and have for
years known, Col. W. E. .Smith and Col.
Harris of the centra! section of the Dis
trict, anil Cap). 11. (i. Mitchell, Capt. James
11. Hunter and Col. F. li. Whittle of the
the eastern section of the, District —all
clever, reliable, high-toned, honorable
men ainl sound Democrats.
I will take plcusui e in giving a cheerful,
zealous and lieurty support to either of
the gentlemen named, if nominated by
the Convention.
* It will take the united effort of every
Democrat in the District to whip this
tight, and for one I am willing and prefer
to take a place iu the ranks and fight on
nut ill the first Tuesday in November next,
under the rallying cry of “Down with
Civil Rights Bill!”
Desiring to do this, and with a view to
the perfect harmony of the party, f must
and will decline to let my name, go before
the Convention, under any circumstances.
Very respectfully, your obedient ser
vant,
A. T. Mclntyre.
The Delegations were full nml the specta
tors numerous. Bo that the large court
room was crowded ; good order prevailed
throughout tho day, and the discussion i
upon preliminary questions were conduct
ed throughout, in the most courteous and
gentlemanly manner, and inasmuch as all ;
the candidates who were proposed were of I
high character, worthy of the support of
their friends, it will not be surprising to j
tho reader to hear that it was exceedingly
difficult for Delegates to sacrifice their
personal preferences when they believed
their choice to be the ctpml, at least, of
any other, and we believe that all the
Delegates acted in good faith for the ben
etlt of the party and the good of the conn
try. We have no intention of impugning
tho motives of any, or qpndomuing tho
acts of any, for according to conventional
uuungeK there was nothing done that was
I not fair and legitimate, but whether these
I conventional usuages ure correct in princi
ple is a question that might bo mooted.
Tho Delegation, of which we wore a man
lier, went in good faith to ascertain the
strongest man in the District; wo had our
personal preference, and behoved that
with present issues ho would lie, if nomi
nated, as strong ns any other man in the
District before tho people. Hut before wo
expressed any preference for him, wo cast
our votes for other candidates ill different
portions of the District, nor did wo pro
pose his name until we thought that a
nomination of either of the others were
improbable,'>f not impossible, and when
wo did propane his name, we dare to say
that Our liberality Was not reciprocated, for
each delegation adhered just ns close to its
favorite for many ballotings. After the
eighteenth ballot, Judge Ynsou, of the
Dougherty Delegation, presented (’apt. H.
G. Turner, of our county, and thereupon
wo withdrew the mime of ('apt, Huuter,
and on the second ballot thereafter, Capt.
Turner received twenty-three and a half
votes, lacking only four and a half votes of
the two-thirds of tho entire vote of the
Convention. And if tho twenty-three and a
half had repeated their votes and nothing
else had occurred, Randolph and Calhoun
would have voted with us on the next ballot
and his nomination would have been
secured. Just then somebody be
caine alarmed for fear that the in
nocent, Turner would be sacrificed
ou tlie alter of his country and a substi
tute was immediately discovered, not by a
Dougherty comity Delegate, for they
didn’t want tho Hi miniate, but a little fel-
! low over iu linker who had spoken and
! voted for Mclntyre until his throat was
j sore, and that substitute was V. E.
] Smith, iirwhotn tho most wonderful and
i extraordinary capacity was discovered.
Aud, not wit hstanding Doughoity county
had been magnanimous enough to bring
Capt. Turner before the Convention and
helped to pay him the highest compli
ment that at that stage of the proceedings
had been paid to any of the candidates,
immediately aboiidoncd him and voted
for a man they didn’t- want, They spoke
of Captain Smith iu the highest terms,
and justly too, for lie is a worthy gentle
man, but Dougherty county didn’t want
the candidate, so the Delegates said, and
they are men of high character, and no
gentleman that know them w ill ever doubt
their word• But strange to say, notwith
standing their nvertion and great objoc
i tiou to having the candidate in their eoun
i ty, as soon as Capt. 8. was suggested aud
his prominent ' excellencies and ability
commented-upon, they struckatliim like a
trout at a bob, and hang like a turtle till
it thundered. It is very manifest that the
words and acts of Dougherty county arc
1 inoonsistnntWith each other; but we pro
’ pose to show you how easily they can ho
reconciled. Here are the facts: lie,
Capt. 8.. is the equal in everything with
I any of the gentlemen whose names were
before the Convention; but inotie thing he
I was prr eminently eminent, and that is
that he is possessed of some wonderfully
mistcriusiK, magical power, by the e.xor
,ei..i; u 1 which he can control three hundred
votes in one county, flint no other Demo
crat in the District could curry. We think
our readers now will be satisfied, that this
is a sufficient explanation why Dougherty
county is again Willing to be burtliened
with the nominee for Congress. What
wondrous love is this, oh, Democracy;
that Dougherty county would sacrifice so
iniieli and submit again and endure with
patience the infliction of another candi
date. Ob, dear, long suffering and for
bearing Dougherty, lmw the East and tile
West should come to worship ut tliy
shrine, and erect a monument to perpet
uate in memory the wonderful sacrifice you
have just made for your country's good.
lint we must reflect upon you for endan
gering Die interests of the District, so
long yon permitted the Convention to bal
lot tweiity-oim times before you would
yourselves, or permit any one else to dis
close the fact tlmt. you bud iu your midst
a man of such extraordinary powers and
preeminent virtues when it was fully
known to you and none others. We trem
ble when we contemplate the perilous con
dition of our District, pending the twenty
one ballots for such men as Mclntyre,
Mitchell, Kciinon, Whittle, Hunter, Tur
ner, Fielder, Fleming and others whose
names were suggested. We know Dough
erty didn't waut the candidate, but rather
than jeopardise the interest of the Dis
trict, they should have madethe disclosure
and submitted to the sacrifice sooner.
W. E. Hmith is the nominee of the
Democratic party in the Hecoml Congres
sional District, and there can be no doubt
ns to his excellences ns a gentleman, nor
objections to bis abilities. Therefore,
Democrats, get off your coots mid roll up
your sleeves and go to work until the 2d
District is redeemed from Radicalism and
the perfidious W'hiteley, the negro leader
eipiulitist, and amalgaiaatiouist lie hurled
from position that it hiuy be honorably
filled. Wo could work cheerfully.for (he
meanest Democrat in the Distiict, and it is
certainly more agreeable to work for u
good and true man and we have him iu
the person of W. E. Smith.

NOMINATING CONVENTION.
The delegates appointed by the three
counties of this Senatorial District, met at
j McDonald, on Saturday the 15th inst.,
I and without any opposing candidate Col.
James McDonald was unanimously nomi
nated. This is a favorable omen, for we
have no doubt that Col. McDonald is the
most available man in the District. He
lias hud considerable experience in Legis
lative bodies aud will doubtless make a
! Senator of which his District may justly
|be proud. Hois sound on the bond ques
i tiou and every effort should be made to se
’ cure his election. Wo hope every niau
will put his shoulder to the wheel and that
j there will be no laggards. Wo learn that
i tho Republicans of Colquitt county have
! declared in favor of his election mid fle-
I nouuce in unmeasured terms the Civil
Rights bill. That w ill weaken Wliiteley
considerably. Indeed, if Democrats will
do their duty there is no difficulty in de
featin'; him.

Never ! Never! Never 1
The Hew Trilmnit says;—
“There is only one rational course for the
Soutlreru whites to pursue, It is to ad
mit frankly that the negro can no longer
be kept in a subordinate position, and to
make of him a fricud and idly.”
“Afriend and ally!” Good God! The
proud Caucasian, intellectual, strollgbruili
ed, broad-minded, virtuous, brave, pro
gressive, dominant among all tiie races oil
this broad earth, advised to stoop so low
as to “ally” himself with the creature
whose “liberty” in the United States, iu
an eight years’ trial, lias been proved to
have but simply two objects in life —“ tbeft
and concubinage 1” Angels and ministers
of grace defend us ! Low, lieastly, foul,
sensual, liars ami thieves, as “free” agents
—decent only w hen held in bondage—
tlu-si; negroes are offered to the refined
and educated whites of the Booth as
“frieuds and allies," as the only compro
mise of flic issue‘the. e black wretches are
trying to force upon the country, and here
is Uie issue: “Wo share your privileges,
political ulid social, fully, or we will keep
lip this pandemonium of hell forever.
This is the alternative these black brutes,
it appears, now hold out to the Bouth,
and the New York 'lYilittint culls upon the
Caucasians in the bouth to submit to the
claims of negroes equality under the
threat 1
We also beg to give the South a little
advice, iuasmueh as that pestilential ne
gro equality sheet, the Tribune,, has sjiok
on, and, in the language of the man who
founded it, we say, “Now hear us." Be
fore the Southern whites for oue short
hour practical.y accept the idea thut the
negro is their equal, and before the stoop
to accept the conditions of “friend and
ally" with so foul II human beast as the
records of South Carolina now show this
creature to Ire, they should to a man and
woman open a war of extermination upon
the whole negro race, and rid the soil of
the United Slates of the lust vestige of a
people who, iu juxtaposition with Ihe
Caucasiati, must be a political and social
inferior; or, eluiming equality, must be a
political and social evil of the gravest
character; a stumbling block in the way of
national progress; a disgrace to human
1 civilization so monstrous, that even,
though these negroes numbered forty
millions instead of four, it would boa holy
work to wipe them from the face of the
: earth in a night, ns it we re, by lire and
tho sword.
They not only, through this claimed
“equality,” debti eh themselves and ma
ture into thorough licentiousness, hut they
trample under foot the most sacred senti
ments of refined humanity, and drag down
every superior which.a fidsts principle al
lies to them. Subordinated, they may
exist to some purpose if they arc guided
bv the superior mind, and made to live,
as they lived under "slavery,” n life of use
; fulness, direeted by the white intellect;
i but the life they live to-day i: simply a
; curse to themselves and a curse to the
I thirty millions of Caucasians they are mix
j oil iqi with, but vrHli whom, politically
j and socially, they can ueve-r combine.
We spe.uk plainly and strongly. Tho
! better men and women of the United States
i are with us in sentiment. Vi e have had
j too much of “the nigger” iu the past ten
! year*. As an inferior lie can perhaps
| work out his destiny in this country. As
i an “equal” he is an iusufVeral.le nuisance,
aud so exasperating an evil, so dangerous
to the well-being of high-toned civilisation,
his very life is not Worth a rush to the world
if it stands iu tho Way of human progross,
ns it certainly does in the United States to
day, under this false and abominable doo
trine of “equality. ” We advocate the sup
pression of negro equality, at any cost.
The country hits been tried beyond all
i endurance with the foul and unity doc
trines of the Tribune., aud we suggest “no
quarter” in this conflict of races. If the
negro peaceably accepts the doctrines of
ethnology, founded on scientific truth
alone, well and good; if he will not, make
short work with him. The thirty millions
of Caucasians of the United States do not
propose to coutiuuo tho arguing of the
senseless question as to whether a stick has
two ends or one, not even to accommodate
well-meaning, honest people, who, claim
ing to ho moralists, are umuisbikubly fools
and fanatics. Lot us not bo misunder
stood. Tho White Race in this country
intend to govern it; govern it solely and
alone. Thorn is to bo up “allying” with
any of the inferior races Chinese, In
dians, or negroes. In the conflict now
opened, White Supremacy will conquer
and negro inferiority succumb. The days
of negro suffrage are numbered. The con
flict will uot close till the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments are abrogated, or
become, through the revival of State
rights, a dead letter. But wo are for aid
ing tho progress of every negro iu tins
land in the liue of good honest industry,
and are for giving him the benefit of every
law that will enable him to make headway
individual prosperity; but we are not
the advocate of his “equality” with the
Caucasian, and propose to get tli it Utterly
impracticable idea out of his brain and
the brain of his false friends, as quickly
as possible. Ti.e country has had enngli
of it.

Murder and Rorheuy on the Highway.
Teeumxeh, Alabama, Amjnrt 12.-—At this
place last evening two white men induced
two negroes to go with them into the
woods, by promising them a drink out of
n jug which they said they had hid there.
.As soon as they were out of sight of pas
sers by, the white men demnuded the ne
groes’ money. One of the negroes re
fused to delivered his money, aud the
white-men shot him through the heart
with a derringer pistol. The other negro
was then ordered to deliver or die. He
surrendered what money tie laid—only
one dollar aud ti n cents—and was allowed
to run. The one that was killed had forty
five dollars in money, a watch aud a pistol
| all of which were taken. The negro that
i escaped says tho w hite men wore brothers,
named Johnson, No aneste as yet. Tin
whites have left for parts unknown. —

It is The Will of God.
Nothing iu the lust nine years has given
us such profound satisfaction and oncour
j agemellt as the recent elections in tile
South, and the grand Democratic victories
j Unit have resulted from the straightout,
I untainted and manly organizations of the
| White Man’s Party. The J Jay-Hook has
| labored for years to Is-ut tins simple, me
j Uind and momentous truth into the bruins
I of the Southern people, that to save them
selves from total anil irreparable destruc
tion, they must stand by their lace, their
civilization, the instincts of nature, the
! command of God Almighty, and refuse
i utterly to seek the aid of the devil iu their
i direst extremity. To uoscutto negro “suf
| frago”—to an equality with an unequal race
—to degrade themselves to a common
status with negroes, is a sin against even
the pisir negro us well as themselves so su
preme nod unforgivable by the Almighty
Himself, that it must needs, bo punished,
as it bus been punished fur the past nine
years, a&d must, of necessity, it jiersisted
in, end iu tiiu total ruin oi 1 toth rates.
(,od has created them different beings,
and therefore designed them for different
conditions of existence, and thus, w hile it
is a sill against tlie Creator beyond ex
pression for the North to force them to a
i common condition by a standing army, it
is immeuMireubly a greater sin for South -
ern men, who know shut the negro is, to
assent to such sin. Many have sought to
deceive and delude themselves hv an
! imaginary distinction between political
and sordid “equality,” and while dedal’-
■ ittg themselves utterly opposed to rnis
j eegenatkni, or mixing of blood, assent to
■ political rnixiug of races, or in other
; words, while rejecting amalgamation of
I individuals, consent to an amalgamation
in tiie totality! It is a fraud, a stupid
and disgusting fraud—every bsuu and
every woman in the Bouth, itud iu the
i North too, that assent to the incorpora
tion of tiie negro iu American citizen
ship, do of necessity, by thut act, assent
hi the mixing of the blood of their chil
dren with the negro, a doom from which
t their children can only be saved, of fans-,
I by a war of races; and mutu.d extenniuu
| tion.
I The crimes of tie North arc beyond the
! [tower of language toexpress; but after all,
their crimes would have been almost
trifling if the Sou them people hud been
true to themselves and faithful
to dial. Had they said, when Gen. Lee
surrendered, “Here we are, providen
tially burdened with an interior species of
men in our midst, with attires and wants
vastly different from oitrH, which we have
transformed from useless savages into
useful and Christian beings, mid whatever
punishment you think proper to inflict
on our lenders, leave us to deal with these
child-people ns our knowledge of their
specific nature warrants," the whole
mighty madness and folly' of tho Aboli
tionists would have stood disarmed and
powerless, and the North itself saved from
tho recoil of Southern ruin. But alas !
For nine years Southern! men have stub .
lifted themselves, violated I heir couvic j
tiou, the daily evidences of their senses,
and sought escape from the Abolition -
madness by assenting to it,,anil vainly as
sinfully prostrating themselves at its feet. ,
At last, thank God, they have risen to
their feet, and like true and bravo men
appealed to the sense and manhood of;
tt eir race, uml the result is that, in every
instance, even in Vicksburg, they have
swept the field 1 Ignorant and miserable i
fools fear a vair of racea, w-lien in fact it
is the sole escape from a war of races,
(foil has made white laeu superior and ne
groes suiiordimite, and when men act iu
■ accord w ith the will of God there can he
jno conflict, and therefore, vi repeat, u
White Mans’s Party is the wile escape
from the horrors of a war of the kind. Of
1 course, so long us there is a standing
■ army, the Southern people forced to
tolerate the enormous sins of negro Hit
; h uge; but we trust that no one van be so
| debauched and lost as to seek a negro
■ vote, however much tle-y may strive U
i induce the poor creature hom going to
j the polls.
Aud now. Democrats, North and South,
; the key of the “situation” is ill yoni
i bauds. Tho true course is plaiu before
| vou. Let every true luau decide first, is
: it wrong to mix his blood with tho negro;
and if so, then negro voting is a crime

The Heroes of the Congo War in South
Carolina.
The riot at Georgetown, whoso begin
ning was described iu these columns yes
terday, is unlike the recent disturbances
in Tennessee and Mississippi in one im
portant particular—it is confined to the
Radical negroes, and no white man, of any
shade of polities, is mixed up iu it. One
white Radical was on the further edge of
the fight of Wednesday, but, so soon as
the cracking of rusty pistols began, he
betook himself to a boat and burried to
his plantation across the river, on Wac
camaw. There he rests. Aud another
point is worthy of notice. Jones and
Rowley, who lead the opposing forces, are
both of them, of Northern birth; they are,
so to speak, negro carpet-baggers. There
is something iu Jones, who is as black as
el areool. Ho is intelligent and well edu
cated, aud the rude negroes of the rice
tii Ids look up to him literally us the the
g-d. When Jones tells them that a vote 1
for such a one will cause them to be re
turned to slavery, they believe him ns they
believe iu their own existence, and it was
the belief that their ebon idol bad been
desecrated, which caused tho negro women
tb make the furious attack on Bowley’s
house on Friday. Jones is a State Sena
tor, and holds office until 1879. Of course
he made money, but he spends it as fast
as he makes it, and only a short time ago
his famous "Canadian trotter” was levied
on and sold for au unpaid grocery bill.
Row ley is back also, but his manners are
better than those of Jones, whose general
character cun best bo described iu the
words of tho British officer, who
summed up his report upon the inhabi
tants of a distant port, which he had visit-!
ed iu these words, “customs beastly;
manners none.'' It is computed that Bow
ley, who was Chairman of the Committee
of Ways and Means, made at least $50,000
while in the Legislature. It is certain
that he deposited about ($9,000 in a
Charleston bank immediately after the:
close of the last session; lie has several
houses in Columbia; he enjoys the finest
house (with a Mansard roof) iu Georgetown ; j
his pockets are full of claims against the
[State. Oneway in which he made money,
so rumor says, was to refuse to report the
| Appropriation bill in tbe House of Repre
[ seutatives, unless lie were secured acorn
| mission of ten per cent, on tho amounts
i recommended to be appropriated. Both
I rascals, both cuuuiug and unscrupulous—
-1 that is the description of Jones aud Bow
ley. The strength of Jones lies in the
| country; that of Bowlev lies iu the town
iof Georgetown. This is the reason why
Jones, although beaten on Wednesday,
was subsequently victorious. Jones is.
. moreover, a colonel of tbe National Guard
jof South Carolina, aud be used as many
of Ins du ky warriors as lie could muster
to overawe his rival, who is only a lieu ten -
nut-colonel in the same organization. The
prize for which the two fight is the politi- j
od control of the county. No account is ;
made of the whites. They ore in a hope
less minority ill Georgetown county; al
though, strange to, they have, on three j
successive occasions, elected their candi- ;
dates for luteudant and Wardens of the
town of Georgetown, by increasing uia- ;
joritiee. They are in the minority there, ;
and carried the first municipal election by !
less than twenty votes, but the affairs of j
tin- town have been so well managed thut it:
has remained ever since under Conserva
tive control.

Flullt 11* fv een a Hull Dog
anti a Horse.
The Sail Francisco Chronicle of the Ist
inst, has the following: Yesterday after- !
noon about six o'clock a flue bay horse,
attached to a light Wagon, was being driven
along Kearney street by two men. When
near Suiter street a small English
bull dog, weighing eighteen or
twenty pounds, mud* a spring from the j
sidewalk and tried to catch the hors*! by I
; the nose. Missing him, the dog fell under
the horse’s feet, and iu an instant caught
him by the right fore leg, just above the
kum*, where lie held c<u with the grip of
, deutb. The horse reared and plunged
aud stamped. The men in the wagon,
[ having all they could do to control the
animal iu that crowded thoroughfare,
dared not attempt to get out to fight the j
dog off Finally, with a violent stamp i
and a stuldeu dropping to his knees, the
i horse shook the vicious brute off bis leg,
but iu an instant he was caught again in ,
tiie chest. ;
Fastening his teeth in the tough, thick
hide, the ilog hung on like a leech. The
poor hors*!, unable to shake him off, bolted
across a low pile of lumber at the corner:
of Butter and Kearney streets, where he
was caught by a dozed men out of the
targe crowd which bail assembled. Some
lone at this point raised theory that the
j dog was mud. Thut was enough to keep
the crowd back and insure fair play. Not;
a soul would go near, and Ihe horse was
j several minutes left to light it out alone. !
Again ami again did he shake oil' the
tenacious little animal, kicking and strik
ing ut him with all his fierce strength,
; hut in vain. He would not desist. Once
in a while n hoof would hit the dog aud 1
send him reeling in the dust, but quicker ;
j than lightning be would gather himself !
ip, and again fasten his visehko fuliga in
tue horse's flesh. ‘Get a club here !”
shouted someone in the crowd. 'Un
fasten that horse’s cheek-rein, and he’ll
soon fix him with his teeth.* shouted un
otie r matt. ‘Keep away from liim; don’t
touch him; don't you see he’s mtul? was
; again yt lied out, and the crowd stood
i back.
Once the dog sprang, and, clasping the
horse’s left fore leg, just ns a young bear 1
would climb a pole, fastened his teeth in
and held on. The horse snorted with I
pain, and plunged wildly about; he rear
ed kicked, fell oil his knees, anil stamped,
but still those sharp, white teeth were
burried in his flesh, and the cold sharp
eye gleamed with tenacity and vicious
hate. Finally, someone got a long club
and beat the dog vigorously over the:
head. Ho would not let go. Then an
other man got a cluti a..(1 omc to the
: horse’s relief. A fierce whack fell on the
dog a nose, and tlieu the teeth loosened, !
i and the fii roc little brute fell under the
! horse’s he. Is. Again lie made a spring, but
. this tiun .. tuetliiug struck him full in the
. face, li v, ; au iron-buiuid hoop, and it
i came with the force of a trip hammer.
Beaten s useless, w ith the wind knocked
completely out of him and a leg bro
: ken, the tl< g went rollin;*into a pile of
t-übbisli.awbere bis owner picked him up
aid carried him away iu his arms.
"The poor horse was completely un
strung. The sit nit poured off him iu
beams, and he shook and trembled So
| that he could scarcely stand. Bis owner
got some ruin and bathed the animal's
j legs, which were badly cut aud lacerated,
aud after a few moments bo got suffieieut
.lv quiet to he driven home. The horse
is a valuable one, but, unless there is
'dangerof hydrophobia, his injuries arc
not likely to prove serious. The novel
; spectacle lasted fully ten minutes, and was
witnessed by as many as five hundred
people. The dog is ow ned by a man tn
. the employ of the gas company. He m a
; regular English bull, and is said to be one
jof the best fighters on this coast. He is
! terribly vicious, and is usually kept close
ly muzzled, but on this occasion ho did
: not have his muzzle on.”
Wholesale Starvation.
New York, August 13. —Hi v. Dr. Clark,
of the American Board of Foreign Mis
sions, lias received a letter from Rev. J.
i(V Borrows, of Oeasaria, dated July 10, in
i which be gives some thrilling details of
the terrible famine now prevailing in that
region. Mr. Burrows writes:
While at Yodegat, which is eighty or
ninety miles north of ns, I noticed the
ravage of famine, which is very severe,
and also beyond and towards Angoria.—
Many villages are entirely deserted. In
someone or two, three or four families, or
parks of families remain. Iu the District
of Sungurte, which is beyond Yodegat and
in which city there is a Protestant chureh,
as runny
FIVE THOUSAND PERSONS HAVE DIED OE
STARVATION.
But tho horrors of this famine arc inde
iso nimble. Many persons have subsisted
on grass for weeks, and tlieu died. Beg
gars have flocked to the cities, and there
are many of them wbo have died, because
they could not get a morsel of bread. Old
men, mothers with babies at their breasts,
young men, children, young and girls,
. half naked, begging and crying. Dead
bodies have lain in the streets one, two and
even three or four days before burial, and
KOOS HAVE FEASTED ON THEM.
“Many of our Protestant communities
and families have suffered greatly at Snn
garte. Some of the. brethren have sold
lionse, shop, household furniture, every
thing, and now must beg or starve, or per
haps, both. In one village there was one
| Protestant fi.uii y. The father, mother
and all the children but two have died of
i starvation. In the village of Ingierlie
j there was a pleasant little Protestant
i community several of whom were members
| of the church, with the preacher residing
i with them, hut they were poor. This
: preacher went to Yodegat and purchased
flour, becoming responsible for the pay
I himself, and so kept alive six families.—
Now unless the preacher can lie paid his
; creditors will take everything from him. ”
Civil Rights Rill Won't Effect The

j ports that institution was derived from
land, sold by the University to the State
for $100,0(H) shout tlio beginning of the
century. Tbe State now gives the college

:as interest on that money. This does not

A Frightful Swins Adventure.
The Reading (Fa.) Emjle gives an ac
count of a terrific adventure of a yonng
lady while swinging at a picnic a short
time since. The lady expressed a dcsiro
to swing as high its possible, aud finally
reached an altitude of fully thirty feet.—•
Bite had been cheerful and lively up to
this point, hut all of a sudden she became
ipriet, the rest of the ladies were awe
stricken, and when the swing with its pre
cious burden made one swift sweep in the
air, her head was noticed to drop to ouo
side, her munch s relaxed, her handslet go
their hold and drop, and away the unfor
tunate girl was hurled through the nir,
aud only saved from a frightful and terrif
ic death by oue of the most miraculous in
terventions ever beard of.
The momentum of the swing’s motion
carried the apparently lifeless form of the
girl up fully thirty-five feet from tho
ground and lodged her safely and secure
ly between two branches at the point
where they join the trunk of a tree, which
stood about tbiity-eight feet from the tree
to which the rope was attached. The
fright and the terror of tho party below
can better be imagined than described as
the swing came reeling backward, while its
former occupant was lying apparently life
less in the branches of the tree. It re
quired ouly a few minutes' deliberatiou
for the gentlemen to realize the situation
and determine what to do. It was fully
twenty feet from the ground to the first
limb above, aud the trunk of the tree
about three feet iu diameter. They buck
ed the wagon with its canvass cover di
rectly under the tree, so that in ease that
she would drop her fall would be partially
broken.
The swing was instantly taken down
ami in au instant one end of the rope was
thrown over the limbs of the other tree
and secured below. By this means two
gentlemeu of the party hurriedly went up
the rope, aud iu a few minutes were at the
side of the unfortunate girl. Bhe was
just returning to consciousness, and tlio
force of her fall had so securely wedged
her between the trunk aud the limbs ns to
require no little effort to extricate her.—
Miss Johnson at once realized her fearful
situation. She was pale and weak, but
still had the good sense to do as the gen
tlemen desired. The rope wiih pulled up,
a slip knot was made and then passed
around her laxly, under the arms, the
other end passed around the limb, and in
this manner sl.e was lowered to the ground
iu safety.
Church Troubles in Berlin.
A Berlin letter gives some interesting
particulars of the recent trial of some of
the noblest ladies of Westphalia for
offences growing out of the recent church
troubles there. Of the thirty-six Indies
summoned to appear iu court at Burg
ateiufmt only seventeen appeared. Most
of the ladies, accompanied by numerous
cavaliers, arrived in fotir-liorse carriage*,
with richly-laced coachmen and footmen.
The indictment was based upon an address
sent by a number of Catholic ladies of the
Westphalian aristocracy to the Bishop of
Munster after nil execution had been put
into his house by tho District Court. In
tho following expressions contained in
the address, “deprivations of property
rightfully his own,” "act of violence,” as
well as in the passage where the dis
, trainiaent was compared to the prosecu
tion of Christ by bailiffs’and hangman's
minions, the Court found cause of offense,
and* took out a warrant against all who
had signed the address. The answers
given by tho ladies to tbe Judge were
generally in a scornful tone, and were
loudly applauded. They denied having
I had the intention of offending tiic Court,
but refused to retract, the offensive expres
; sums. Countess Ncsselrode-Beichcustein
declared that she hail been aware that she
was offending the public authorities in
signing the address, hut that her convic
tions had prevented her taking any other
course, and she whs prepared to do the
same tiling again. But Countess Nessel
rode, who had displayed great activity in
; circulating the address, was condemned
lo pay a line of two hundred thaleis, or
in default to six weeks’ imprisonment; tho
other ladies to a fine of one hundred
thalers, or three weeks’ imprisonment. On
leaving the court they were enthusios
j ticaliy applauded by the public, who
i escorted them to their estates iu a tii
! tunphal procession.

Mbs. Surratt's Hangman. —While in
1 Greenville, 8. 0., lust week, we saw John
B. Hubbard, Mrs. Surratt’s executioner.
He is acting as United States Deputy
Marshal, and was then ill attendance on
| the court in session in Greenville. Ho
still boasts with brutal pride of his part in
: the murder ui an innocent woman. He is
I looked upon by the people of Carolina as
a great ruffian, and is cordially detested,
not only for his participation in the crime
mentioned, but also for his many shame
ful deeds in connection with the iniqui
' tious Ku-Kinx trials in South Carolina. —
On one occasion, it is said, he called with
a tile of soldiers at a house near Lumen's,
to arrest a man accused of Ku-Klnxism. —
j The man had fled and Hubbard, in an in
solent tone, asked the fugitive’s poor trem
bling wife .where lie was. She answered
that she did not know, which was actually
the case, whereupon Hubbard exclaimed,
“Yon urea d—n liar.” There is no better
proof of South Carolina’s desire to be “re
■ conciliated” than that this spawn of Rad
j icalism is suffered to remain within her
! borders unharmed. Hubbard is a native
jof Ohio, we understand. The Bnek-eyo
State should certainly feel proud of him.
South Carolina doe* not, and is ready to
yield all claims upon him at a moment’s
notice. He is the only one of Mrs. Sur
ratt’s murderers, wo believe, who gloried

It isnot only at home that the Germans
are proving themselves a strong, aggressive
race, but abroad also. The individual Ger
man has a genius for trade, wherever ho
settles he thrives. His genius consist in
thrift, energy aud a stubborn perseverance.
Another ttiiug must be added: The Ger
: man Realschule system of education pro
duces a class of men who take a warm in
terest in nil practical matters. There are
|in Germany a number of schools of com
merce where young men enter to learn
; office work, and in commercial dealings
no persons are better educated than the
graduates of such institutions. Iu this,
as in other things, the Germans show
their sound common sense. No small de
tail escapes them, and, after all, success
iu trade is a question of details of often
the smallest seeming importance. This
j coming ascendance in foreign trade of
the Germans is strikingly shown in
j China. There the mercantile firms of a
city like Hong Kong, from being almost
i exclusively British, have become prepou
. deratinglyGerman, whilenearly the whole
carrying trade of the coast is iu tbe hands
of the latter.
