In A BAD HvxoR.-Frederick Douglass Paper.
iu commencing the last number Of the Radical
Aboli,ionist relieves itself by a growl at the Gar.
risonians". Though we do not agree in meas,
ures with the Radical Abolitionist,I we have a hearty
admiration of the major part of the last issue aud
We showed our appreciation, by quotations from
it's columns. Mr.. Douglass says:
THE only fault we have to find with the Radical,
this time is that i, treats the Garrisonians with far
more respect than we think they deserve. They
are a bitter perse ,uting set; and omit no opportu-
nifty for disparaging every form of opposition to
slavery which dues not emanate from themselves.
The weakness Of oomplimcnting those who repay
compliments with insult is not ours. 1t has not
been long since the Treasurer Of the American
Abolition society was by implication held up as .
dishonest man by the organ OF the Garrisonians.
Our organ indirectly repays the foul imputstion by
chari,ably conceding honesty to its accusers., We
like not that wasteful expenditure OF christian
charity"
We are happy in the belief that this decision does
not emanate from the court of last resort.

GENERAL WALKERS ALLIES IN
WASHINGTON.

We slated yesterday our impressions in regard
10 the completely of the administrator in Gener-
al Walkers movements in Nicaragua. w find in
the Herald this morning q letter apparently from
an officer Of the United States steamship Saratoga,
which confirms our Impressions. lie speaks of q
visit Walker made to the Saratoga shortly after
his arrival, and his public assurance to the com.
mander that he had undertaken his expedition
with the connivance Of the government. We quote
the pertinent features Of this letter:
Omitted States Ship Saratoga.
San Juan Del Norte, or G'eyfora.
NICARAGUA, Nov. 30, 1867.
Gen. Walker having expressed a desire to
come on board, a boat was sent for him, in charge
OF an officer.
"As he was about to leave the ship he remarked
to our captain that he seldom requested favors,
but in this case he would request him not to form
II prejudiced opinion until lie knew him better.
lie mentioned, also, that he pould not hare started
on THIS expedition, had he not been dDdre that tn
government was not inclined 10 prerent him.
The Fashions papers were examined and
found correct, having as passengers l96 on her
list"
The writer of this letter would appear to have
been present at the interview he describes, and
probably was an officer of the Saratoga. Thai
Walker should have been discharged from arrest
ON $4,000 bail at New Orleans; allowed to ente:
Nicaragua in violation OF his bond, under the guns
Of an American frigate, and finally entertained or
board Of that frigate, and allowed to impute com
plicity in his crimes to the government at Wash
ingtoD, without some talismaDic spell wich all gov
eminent dependents respect, is to the last degree
improbable, not to soy impossible.

which the scene is to be laid in part at Madrid ant
part in the Gulf of Mexico IN Y. Zee. Post

GAY. Walkers Letter.
WASHINGTON, March so, 1851.
JAMES BUCHANAN.
President Of the limited States

/ WASHINGTON, March ~, 1891.
| JAMES BUCHANAN.
President of the. United States
My DEAR SIR: have at your request
re considered my determination as an
nounced TO you, declining your tender o.
the Office of Governor of the territory oi
Kansas. Iu view of the opinion now pre-.
scnted by you, that the safety of the I'm
ion may depend upon the selection Of the
individual to whom shall he assigned the
task Of settling the difficulties which again
surround the Kansas question, have con-
cluded that solemn sense Of duty to my
country requires me to accept this position.
am brought to this conclusion with an
unaffected difIidencc in my own ability, but
with a fervent hope that the same over
ruling Providence which has carried my
beloved country through so many perils,
will now attend and direct my hum
bic efforts for her welfare, and that my
course will not be prejudged by any portion
of my fellow citizens in or out Of Kansas.
understand that you and all your cabi-
net cordially concur in the opinion ex-
pressed by me, that the actual bona fle
residents of the territory, by fair and
regular vote, unaffected by fraud or vio-
lence, must be permitted, in adopting their
state constitution, to decide for themselves
what shall be their social Institutions.
This is the great fundamental principle of
the act of Congress organizing that Terri
tory, affirmed by the. recent decision Of the
Supreme court of the United States, and
is in accordance with the views uniformly
entertained and expressed by me through
out my public career
! anticipate peaceful settlement of this
question by an appeal to the intelligence
and patriotism of the whole people Of
Kansas, who should all participate freely
and fully in this decision, and by majority
of whose votes the determination must be
made, as the only proper and constitutional
mode Of adjustment. l contemplate no
appeal to military power, in the hope that
my countrymen Of Kansas, from every
section, will submit to decision Of this
matter by full and fair vote of a majority
of the people.
l will 60, then, and endeavor to adjust
these difficulties, in the full confidence, so
strongly expressed by you, that l will be
sustained, by oil your own high authority,
with the cordial cooperation of all your
cabinet Very respectfully, your friend,
Il. ]. WALKER.

Massacre in Utah.

The mail from Salt Lake, says the Los
Angeles Star, arrived here this week,
bringing intelligence OF another horrible
massacre having been committed in Utah
Territory. The circumstances, as they
have been related to us by gentleman
who came here from San Bernardlno,
where tho mail carrier from Salt Lake stops,
are as follows: .a.. "a
Mr.. VIM Parrish, his son, q young man
about seventeen years Of age, and Mr..
Potter, started from the city for the pur.
pose Of coming to California. They had
proceeded but o short distance, when their
bodies were found dead. Mr.. Parrish's
throat was cut from car to ear; the others
had been shot. Their bodies were found
at place called SpringVille, about ifty
miles from Salt Lake city. l.s
1t is not known by whom the outrage
was committed. Rumor has It that Mr..
Parrish had difficulty with the authorities
about removing his property, which he had
previously consecrated" 10 the church.
We give the rumor as we heard It. II is
also said that the massacre was perpetra-
ted by Indians. The intelligence Of this
murder, caused the greatest excitement in
San Bernardiuo, where part Of Mr. Par.
rish's family reside, as well as generally
throughout the country.
We hope an investigation by the govern
ment authorities will be made into this mas
sacre, and the guilty parties made to fee
the heavy arm Of the law. These outrage.
are of so frequent occurrence, that il bc
hooves the local authorities to take step,
to bring the perpetrators to punishment.

The Inaugural in England.

The London Times comments temper
ately upon the Presidents inaugural ad-
dress. Respecting its illusions to the for
eign policy Of Mr.. Buchanan's administra-
tion, the Times says:
But what Of the new Presidents foreign
policy Into what are the Monroe doc.
trine and the Ostend manifesto to be de-
veloped by the triumphant champion Of the
democrats? To these questions the inAu-
gural affords but vague answers. The two
concluding paragraphs arc devoted to ''our
rights and duties as member OF the
great family Of nations" The duties, az
defined by Mr. Buchanan, are such as
might satisfy the most scrupulous interna-
tional lawyer To cultivate peace, com
merce, and friendship with foreign natiOus,
not only with view to material interest,
but in q spirit of christian benevolence, to
employ diplomacy which shall be direct
and frank, to cherish sacred regard for
the independence Of nations-such ore the
principles Of public policy which are to
guide the conduct Of Mr. Buchanan and
Cass.
We are, however, next brought TO the
application Of these principles as under
stood by their propounder. The United
States, We are told, have never extended
their dominions by tho sword, for Texas
was annexed by free people, and that
half Of the Mexican territory which was
added to the Union ten years ago was
fairly purchased after the Mexican armies
had been beaten. While the American
government continues to act on this prinei-
pie mo nation will have right to interfere
or complain il, in the progress Of events,
we shall still further extend our possession
These are the most indications we can
gain Of the Presidents policy. To acquire
territory he looks upon as natural and
praiseworthy, Il it be BY the will Of a ma
jority Of the actual settlers, or the stipula-
tions Of pecuniary bargain. The appli-
cation we must leave 70 the individual
judgments of our readers. However, these
are but tame doctrines after the Ostend
manifesto. On the whole, we think We sec
symptoms Of that necessary moderation
which accompanies the assumption Of res
possibility The government Of . Buc-
hanan and Cass could not soy less than
is said in this inaugural message. Let us
hope that temperance Of tone viii be fol-
lowed by frankness of conduct, and that
one of the first results will be the final set
tlement Of those triding differences which
still exist between the two great FREQ ma
tions Of the world.

ABOUT COFFEE There are some curious
facts regarding tho preservation Of coffee
1t is said that the berries readily imbibt
exhalations from other substances, and oc
casionally acquire an unpleasant flavor
Sugar placed near the berries, il Is said, ID
short time impregnates them and Injuries
their flavor.
A few bags Of pepper on board ship
bound from England, spoiled whole cargo
Of coffee
The process Of roasting berries requires
care and skill If burnt, the coffee is spoil
ed, imparting bad taste, and making it
heavy and indigestible when drank Again,
If underdone, the water fails to extract the
nourishing material Of the coffee, and its
infusion is SO weak as to prove unpalatable.
In al Cairo, in Egypt, there was said to
be but one good coffee paFcher. The ber-
ries should be roasted until they become Of
q uniform brown chestnut color.
No family should ever purchase ready
ground coffee, which Is liable TO adultera-
tion with chicory, beans, corn, rye, &c.
The berries should be bought green, and
parched and groond at home as wanted,
Coffee is found, on chemical analysis, to
contain highly nutritious element known
as cafsin. This component part Of all
good coffee is found to contain q larger
proportion of nitrogen than any other vege.
table principle, and in this respect equalling
some Of the most highly animalized pro
ducts. Caffein does not purify, however,
like animal matter. Thus, chemists have
discovered by analysis that coffee contains
an element Of nourishment similar to animal
matter, or to meat, which renders it nutri
tious as a drink, and Of which chicory il
wholly destitute; and hence its useless auG
Injurious character as a substitute for coffee
Tea, also, contains an animal principa
known as them, which also renders it nour
ishing as a beverage when good and pure

The DUEL OPPosIfE NArcHEz. - The

the following account Of the recent duel
opposite that city, brief telegraphic no
tice Of which We had on Wednesday morn

A hostile meeting took place opposite

Gibson Herald, and J. w. Mcdonald, Esq,
editor of the Natchez Free Trader. The
weapons were pistols, distance ten PAGES
Both pistols were discharged between the
words fire" and 'one," Mr.. Mcdonald'i
ball cutting the left lapel Of his adversary
coat, and passing through the leShy par
of the left arm above the elbow, luckily
missing both bone and artery. Mr.. Pur
dom's ball cut through Mr. McDonaldi
clothes-coat, pantaloons and under gar
ments-immediately below the small Of th'
back, but without grazing the skin. Tb,
meeting, of course, closed with tire wounC
to Mr. Purdom, which blcd profusely. Il
is understood that Mr.. Purdom was th'
challenging party; the cause OF offence be

SENATOR DoUGLAs-In 1888, says the
C2eretdnder, after long and severe spell Of
sickness, Stephen A. Douglas left Cleveland
on canal boat in search of a home and
fame and fortune. He was then young,
poor and unknown. Twenty-three years
have passed away, and he returns TO the
same city with a world wide reputation
an abundance of wealth, and is received by
the roar Of cannon and the loud huzzas of
his party. Energy and industry will do

DR.. Enright, q Mr.. Brown entered a suit
contesting the right to Il, and obtained q
writ Of restitution which was executed;
