EpITING a PAPER UNDER DIFFIcRLTIEs.-
Denver City a notorious character named
Murphy, who gained bad eminence in
Leaven worth during the Kansas troubles, be-
came greatly incensed, few days since,
against the Rocky MQuntain News, for pub
fishing an advertisement which contained
some imputations upon his honesty, and made
the most violent threats against W. N. Byers,
Esq, the senior editor. AS Mr.. Byers was
attacked by party of desperadoes few
months ago, and narrowly escaped with his
life, he was prepared for the arrival of Muir
ply, and when that individual approached
the News Office with hostile intentions, be
was good deal startled to find himself
brought up standing with six loaded rifles
and revolvers pointing at his head. Under
their modifying influence he soon cooled
down, and on the following morning apollo
gized fully for his violence. In this longi
tude, the pen is not always mightier than the
sword During the eighteen months in which
Mr.. Byers has been publishing journal, he
has been challenged, made the victim of one
murderous assault, an attempt to fire his
office, and threats innumerable against his
person and his premises. lie seems to have
arrived at the conclusion that if he is again
attacked by desperadoes, it will result in a
funeral.-Sk Louis letter.

A "wnleHr" MAN AND FRED Doua1As-

A "WHIGHT" MAN AND FRED DOUGLAS
The New York Times of October 26tb
contains an amusing correspondence, in which
Fred Douglass, the colored pet of the Aboli-
tionists refuses to allow his daughter to be
made happy. A fellow named Charles Hapnv
writes the following from Auburn, n. Y:
81 take the opportunity to address Won n
few hues as follows: | have been informed
that you had an onely daughterand that Won
desire her to marry a Wright man. where
upon you give $4,000 or $4,000 dollars TO
any respectable Wright man that would
marry her and cherish her through life If
there is any truth in this report, =. S. let me
know and | will marry your daughter on
those conditions, and will endeavor to make
myself agreeable"
Fred. Douglass responds as follows:
You are an entire stranger to me, and di
rect me to no one from who can learn your
real character and responsibility. This, if
no other difficulty existed, would seriously
em6arrass me in making favorable answer
to your proposition, You should have at
least given me one respectable reference.
Ihe fact that you have not done go, with
SN"SA NiiNuhiStiilCtS COllnOctetl WlJn your
letter, makes it quite doubtful whether /
could honorably accede to your proposition.
Y ou date from Auburn, and tell me to direct
to you at Auburn, but do not name the street.
Pardon me for regarding this as suspicious
circumstance. You may be an inmate of the
State Prison, or on your way there-a fact
which you see would interfere with the full
tillment of your part of the proposed bar
gain, even if | could fulfill the part YOU as
sign to me. You want $4,000 or $4,000.
This is a common want, and you are not to
blame for using all honorable means to OBJ
tain it. But candor requires me to state,
thatif you were in every respect suitable
person to be bought, for the purpose named,
have not the amount to buy you have
no objection TO yolr complexion but there
are certain little faults of grammar and spell
ing, as well as other little points, in Your
letter, which compel me to regard you as a
person, by education, manners and morals, as
wholly unfit to associate with my daughter
in any capacity whatever You evidently
think your white skin of great value. /
don't dispute it it is probably the best thing
about you Yet not even that valuable quail
ity can commend You sufficiently to induce
even so black a negro as myself to accept
you us his son law.
