A Washington dispatch says that
Gen. Sherman “fumes with anger"
at Tjft’s bayonet order, but feels
that he must carry out his instruc
tions.
The Cincinnati Enquirer of Satur
day says that tho Southern Railroad
now lacks only six miles of comple
tion to tho Kentucky river, which,
when finished, will open tho road 104
miles from the Ohio river; also, that
the directors expect to have the road
complete and in running order from
Cincinnati to Chattanooga by the Ist
of May.
The Marianu Courier reports the
death In Jackson county, Fla., of
Miss Nancy Couch, from the bite of
u rattlesnako. Miss Couch was
picking cotton and stepped upon a
large rattlesnake, which bit her in
several places on the leg. She died
from the effects in twelve hours.
The deceased was an orphan girl, just
grown, of good character, and was
much beloved by all who knew her.
A train of ten car loads of honey
from California arrived in New York
one day last week. Each car con
tained 30,000 pounds, making 200,000
pounds in ail. AH this honey was
from the apiaries of Mr. J. S. Harbi
son, of San Diego county, near the
Mexican liuo. He has 3,000 hives,
and employs fifteen men to tend
them. Oo account o( the expense of
transportation, &c., Mr. Ilnrbißon
did not expect to realize more than
tI,<XK) clear profit out of this immense
shipment.
Ohio.— The official vote, which will
be found elsewhere, shows how very
slim is the Republican majority.
Out of a total of 031,065 totes—which
is 88,382 larger than even the great
vote of last year—the Republicans
have only a majority of 4,647 for Gov
ernor, and a plurality over Bell of
only 6,446. In the Congressional
vote the Republicans did not get any
majority at all, and their plurality
was smaller than that for Governor.
Yet the Radical papers, since the
election, are putting down Ohio as
“certain'’ for Hayes, while they class
Indiana (which gave tho Democrats
a much larger majority proportion
ate to the whole vote) as “doubtful.”
A corhebpondent of the Baltimore
Sun says the intelligence recoived
from the States of Ohio, Michigan
and Wisconsin is such as to give the
Democratic leaders hopes which they
have not dared to entertain before.
It is said that in Wisconsin the dis
affection in the Republican party is
so widespread, particularly among
the Germans, as to make it not im
probable that tho State will cast its
Electoral vote for Tilden. In Michi
gan it is alleged there is danger of
the Republicans losing the State on
account of the intense disgust at
Secretary Chandler’s running the
Republican election machine. Many
of the most prominent Republican
party leaders are refusing to tako nny
interest in the canvass.
Chemung.— Reports from all along
the Democratic line, and especially
from tb© States considered doubtful,
are very cheering. The Democrats
now entertain no doubts of carrying
Indiana and New York; they will
make a strong and hopeful light in
Ohio; they believe that they can car
ry both Pennsylvania and Illinois;
and they have the best assurances
that California and Oregon are safe.
As the New York Herald, from its
perch on the fence, says, the advan
tages appear to be greatly on the
side of the Democrats; and we may
add that only some great rascality or
outrage can defeat them.
It is worthy of remarks that
the first reports of all the elec
tions this fall were more favorable to
the Republicans than the fuller re
turns sustained. In Maine, their
first reported majority was cut down
several thousand; in Colorado they
at first boasted of a large majority,
which was afierwards whittled down
to almost nothing; West Virginia
they claimedas close and doubtful in
their first reports; Indiana was
claimed by them for two days after
the election; and in Ohio they
claimed majorities which wore re
duced by each successive later report
until the official returns showed the
battle to bo almost a drawn one. We
do not suppose that this partiality
for the Republicans was knowingly
practiced by the reporters of the
Press Association; but we think it
more likely that it was due to a con
certed effort of the Republican lead
ers throughout the country to make
big claims for effect upon public reel
ing.
Anew paper has been started In
London, in which the advertisements
are printed in different colored inks,
the advertiser having a choice of
colors. ■
A SAMPLE “OUTBAGB.”
All who read tho accounts of the
conflict at Colfax, in Grant parish,
La., two years ugo, will romember
that two of tho negro leaders wore
Wm. E. Ward and E. H. Flowers,
both colored. The farmer was the
Republican Representative of the
parish. Tho Democrats charged the
getting up of tho difficulty in great
part to them, and especially to
Ward, who was believed to havo in
stigated Kellogg to “appolnt”to pub
lio offices In Colfax men greatly ob
noxious and ralschlovous, in the
place of those properly elected. Hut
both Ward and Flowers arc acting
with tho Democrats now, though
still calling themselves Republicans.
They do so because they thoroughly
understand Packard, and know that
he will attempt to rule the State by
force and fraud—by getting up con
flicts of races and then calling for
military intervention,if he ehouldbe
elected. They are making speeches
on the Democratic side wherever in
the State they can bo assured of pro
tection,for the Radical negroes would
quiokiy and violently put a stop to
their speech if the Democrats did not
protect them. These men, Wardand
Flowers, are giving the secret or “in
side" history of the Grant parish
conflict, and they both charge that
Kellogg, with tho knowledge of
Packard, purposely got up that con
flict, with a view of strengthening
himsolf In his usurpation of the Ex
ecutive chair. Flowers said, in a
recent speech in New Orleans: “I
was Ward’s Lieutenant, and both he
aud I soon discovered what was their
hellish plans. Kellogg, by tho ad
vice of his spiritual adviser, S. B.
Packard, appointed in Grant parish
two sets of officers and told each of
them/ to tako the offices. Kellogg
and Packard knew a fight was ine
vitable, which was just what they
wanted. Kellogg wanted a few ne
groes killed to make his hold to the
usurped Gubernatorial chair a politi
cal necessity In the eyes of the
Northern people and tho National
Congress. Ward and myself were to
be killed; but though good friends of
Kellogg and Packard at that time,
we were still better friends to our
selves, and we escaped with a pru
denco which wo have never had oc
casion to regret.” [Laughter.]’
Ward, lu his speech, said that he
was instrumental in getting Kellogg
to appoint the first set of officers—
moderate Republicans who run, on
the ticket with him in Grant parish;
and that when be heard subsequent
ly that Kellogg was appointing an
other set, and that trouble was like
ly to grow out of their conflicting
claims, he went to Kellogg to remon
strate. He thus describes the inter
view :
“I said to him : Governor, are not
you doing wrong, you are issuing
two sets or commissions for the same
offices. Now you have two regular
ly commissioned sheriffs, you have
two Judges, two sets of Police Ju
rors, two Constables; is not that
wrong“ Well,” said he, “those
officers I appointed a mouth ago are
not qualified.” I said to him, “Gov
ernor, would it not be better to refer
to the Secretary of State, and see if
tho oath has been filed ?” Mr. Des
londe brought the books and proved
that every one of them was properly
qualified, and was exercising the du
ties of his office. Mr. Rutland then
said to the Governor, “the people
don't like them, and if you don’t
cliaDgo them there will be hell to
pay.”
"Mr. Rutland then took his hat
and went off, aud Kellogg said;
“Hold on, Judge, you go up there
and settle it, and you can tell Nash
to go ahead, and I will forward his
commission.” He was appointed,
for I saw his commission. Well,
these were the orders Kellogg gave
to Mr. Rutland. I did not go up to
Colfax for two weeks afterwards, and
when I got to Colfax, Mr. Hadnot
was there with about twenty men to
settle up the differences between the
two sets of officers.- Dan Shaw, who
was the sheriff first appointed by Mr.
Kellogg, came to my house and said
there is going to bo trouble to-mor
row. I said what for ? He said Mr.
Hadnot is coming to town hero to
take possession of the office, and I
am going to deputize thirty or forty
men to protect the peaoc.
“Mr. Shaw deputized thesfl men,
aud then Mr. Hadnot came into Col
fax with his men. The way it was
settled I did not know, but it seems
the trouble commenced at Colfax with
the two sheriffs that Mr. Kellogg ap
pointed, with the instructions to go
up there and raiso a fight, and make
a political capital out of tho dead ne
groes for his party.”
"Well, the white people, with Mr.
Kellogg's authority, camo into Col
fax to take possession of tho offices,
and Mr. Shaw, tho Republican Sher
iff, summoned all the colored people
to resist thorn. So tho white and
colored people were brought togeth
er in coufliot, and many colored men
were killed. It was brought about
directly by Kellogg, who planned the
movement, and knew what tho con
sequences were going to be. I had
no more to do with it than any of
you gettlomen,”
Ward also said that General Long
street proposed on Thursday before
the bloody Sunday In Colfux, to go
up and settle it, but Kellogg said
they must send fer Packard, and
Packard was sent for, but ho and
Kellogg did not want it settled with
out a conflict.
This is, if the truth could begotten
out of the conspirators, about the
way in which most of the conflicts
between the whites and the blacks,
ending so disastrously to the negroes,
were brought about. Tho Radical
loaders desired them for tho pur
pose of “firing tho Northern heart”
by tales of the “bloody shirt,” aud
tho Radical carpet-baggers of the
South wanted them for the purpose
of putting or sustaining themselves
in power. The pity Is that the ig
norant negro dupes, f.nd not the
planning Radical white leaders of
both sections, had to take the conse
quence.
There is a colored man in Hartford.
Conn., who will drive a good-sized
nail into a plank with one thump of
his forehead, and with several blows
can send the nail “clean' home” into
the mortar between the bricks. A
day or two ago he was requested to
send a nail “right in” with one blow.
He did the task, but has now a bad
lookiug bruise on his forehead, the
first bruise, he says, he has had in all
I his years of practice.
I'EUERAL MI.'PKUVINOBM.
We learn from the Macon Tele
i/raph that a special term of the
United States Court was to have been
opened in that city yesterday, by the
Marshal and Clerk for tho purpose
of filing petitions for tho appoint
ment of supervisors of election, at
which Representatives to Congress
are to bo voted for, as provided by
title 26, “Elective Franchises,” sec
tions 2014 and 2015 revised stotutes
of the United States, which Court
will remain open until November 7,
1870. Mr. Beckett, Chief Supervisor
of Elections* will be iu attendance.
No doubt the Radicals all ever the
State have designated, or will soon
designate, some bitter partisan of
theirs for each voting place. We be
lieve that the law under which these
Supervisors are appointed provides
for tho eclection of one from each po
litical party, and confines the ap
pointment to those places a few of
whose votes request such supervisors.
If this be so, our Democratic friends
should see to it that one Supervisor,
wherever any are appointed, shall be
au intelligent, reliable and fearless
Democrat, who will carefully pro
tect their interests on the day of the
election.
Tho appointment of these Supervis
ors is not under Attorney General
Taft’s late outrageous order, though
bis scheme contemplates the aid of
Federal Supervisors wherever any
dispute may arise. While the offi
cious and designing intermeddling
with the rights of the States; but as
woof the South cannot prevent it, it
is the part of prudenoe to checkmate
it as far as possible by securing good
and [capable men at Supervisors on
tho Democretic side.
