The Southern Herald, Of Liberty, Miss,
always good paper, and never by fits and
starts only, and which represents as firmly
a southern rights constituency as any other
in that state, says:
We make too much unnecessary fuss about the
right of suffrage being conferred upon the negro.
Let the poor darkey vote and hold office, too, II
he is qualified, and we sure that we will be
the gamer thereby, for what southern man would
not rather see our offices filed by decent and re-
spectacle negroes, than by the puritanicai and
hypocritical Yankees.
And commenting on Ike views Of GEM
Beauregard in this respect it says:
In comforting the right to vote upon the negro,
the radical party has placed a powerful weapon
of defence 10 the hands of the southern white peo-
pie, if thef will only seize upon it at the proper
time and in the proper manner. Let us teach the
negro that his interests in the south and with
the southern people, and may rest assured
that he win always cast his vote just as could
wish.
We wish all Mississippi editors could see
as clearly and speak the truth as frankly as
clearly as does the Herald. He has hit the
nail on the head Let him drive it home
to all his cotemporaries.-Ne,o Orleans Pic

Kidnapping Girls.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The police records make us acquainted
with the alarming fact that within the last
three weeks no less than sixty girls are
known to have been stolen from their homes
in this city for the worst purposes. How
many more cases of the same kind have &C.
Cured which are unknown to the public is a
matter of terrible conjecture. The crime of
kidnapping children and young girls has in
creased lately to frightful extent. Either
by strategy or force, the ranks@sof the most
wicked and abandoned class are constantly
recruited from among the vlrtuous and III
nocent, both in town and country. 1t is one
of the most hideous qualities of the social
evil that, Moloch like, it is perpetually draw
ing new victims into its fatal gulf of infamy.
The most active agents In this nefarious
traffic, sad as it may seem, are women, who,
under pretense of friendship and offers of
high wages, succeed in tempting youth and
innocence to take the first step in a career
of sin and shame. 1t is enough to alarm the
| be snatched up in the middle of the day in
our crowded streets, and carried to a place
secure from the utmost vigilence of the po-
| lice. Death itself is less dreaded than the
| fate into which these unfortunate girls are
plunged beyond hope or chance of reclama-
ton Parents will dread to let their children
run at large if such glaring crimes can go
undecided. This evil, great as it is, is one
far more prevalent than is generally suppos
ed. The public hear of only few accide MT
al cases, for the reason that the distressed
relatives and friends of the girl thus lost are
naturally anxious to keep their sorrow quiet
and avoid the implied disgrace that often at
taches to such misfortune. But even at tn.
risk of wounding private feelings, it woult
be safer for the public generally that the fire
quency of this atrocious practice should b.
made known far and wide, that all may b
on their guard against the villainous agent
who stalk abroad in daytime on our streets
and whose accomplices Turk unsupported il
almost every village III the land, for the eS
press purpose of dragging souls to perdition
1t viii be disgraceful if our police authorize
. cannot very materially mitigate, if not alto
gether prevent, this appalling danger.

The late Bishop Timon, of Buffalo, is spo-
ken of in the Buffalo papers as man whose
loss is greatly to be deplored, outside ofthe
soman Catholic Church. He was an accom-
plished classical aud modern scholar, and
withal practical man of business. AS an
evidence of his attainments, it is lnstanced
that he once preached in Buffalo, on the same
day, an English sermon, a French sermon
and a German sermon. Perhaps the best
evidence of his capacity is that when he
was made Bishop of Buffalo, in 1887, there
were three Roman Catholic churches in Buff.
alo, and that there are now nineteen, one OF
them a cathedral.
