For years and years tho “nigger in
Che wot>d pile, and the red man liavt
been much in the way of the Anglo-
American people. The red man has
been almost exterminated, and the
poor negro has been placed where his
extermination is but a matter of time.
His ignorance and poverty will keep
him in a helpless, unthrifty condition
as a race. He will not luexcuse in
population in the natural way, as thi,,
figures of the last decade show, and
immigration from Africa is forever
barred. But just at this time conies
afeaiful rush from the countless mil
lions of China to our Western shores,
and to deluge our land and crowd out
the lords of the heritage. California,
that first encouraged the immigration,
IB now' deadly opposed to it, and
Scarcely a day passes but somo out

The Chinese question is one of the
subjects which will soon supercede

We give our readers a specimen
paragraph from the Inter-Ocean, the
ablest as well as bitterest and most
scrupulous Radical paper published
in tho great West. The article is re
freshing for its coolness and quite
stunning in its sarcasm. It shows
the high appreciation in which we are
held by some of our Northern breth
ren. If the writer of the article should
pay us a visit we should feel compell
ed in order to sustaiu our Southern
reputation for hospitality to feed him
upon barbecued nigger, with nigger
baby pie for a side dish, to go along
with his cod fish and dried herring:
“nigger shooting.'’
The animal sport of the cbivalric
Democracy has begun, and “nigger
shooting” is again the rage. A Dorn-,
ocrat is a Democrat whether he lives
in Louisiana or New York, Vicksburg
or Indianapolis; and, the conditions
being equal, your Indianapolis sports
man will shoot as many colored men,
including women and children, in a
day as the average W bite Leaguer of
tin South. Tho difficulty is that in
the North tho danger is greater. The
Indianapolis sportsmen expose them
selves - unnecessarily. In this they
need to take a few lessons from their
Southern friends- The keen-syed
Lukin x of Mississippi or Louisiana
rarely expose themselves to the blows
; of the 1 men they assail. This is a folly
which they have learned better than
to commit. It is just as easy to go
quietly and in the night time to do
this workns in the broad daylight, and
far less dangerous. Victims can be
taken ui arn and then, anil in detail,
while in the daytime and on public
o 'CRf.ion they nmy band together and
fight. Unless a body of colored men
can be brought together at a camp
u .'ting, or other religious or social
gathering, where they are unarmed
and totally unprepared for an attack,
it •• very iiidiscreet to begin an assault
upon them. The Indianapolis Ku->

FOB MRS. COLQUITT.

In 18G4, during tlie seige of Peters
burg, rations were very scarce among
the Confederates, and many were the
adventures of the boys in search of
something to eat. One day private
J. W. Reid, of company D, 29th Geor

soon succeeded in getting a few' ear
of green corn, and was on his way
back to camp with Lis mouth fairly

soup for himself and mess. But in
making his way through the city he
was “captured” by a provost guard,
and having in his possession a lot of
“contraband" rations, he was carried
to the headquarters of his brigade'
commander (Gen. Colquitt) to Lu
