ISAAC SANBoRN alias WILLIAMS, the
negro Convention candidate in Georgia,
is II dreadful fellow. He r~epudiates his
two white confrsres on the ticket, be-
cause he cannot conscientiously support
white men for any Office. This is what
Ben. Wade would call q "leap in ad-
vance" When Sumner in the Senate
and Phillips ON the stump demanded
that black men absolutely should be
put on Registration Boards-whether
ft for the place or Motive regarded it
as n decided "political discrimination
on tho ground Of COLOR" and as such
anti Republican, to say the least. When
Wright, the colored politician Of South
Carolina, introduced q resolution at the
Columbia Convention that "the next
Vice President Of the United States
should be a negro, we again protested
at q new qualification being required
which would prevent Grant, or Sheri-
dan, or Adams, or owe Ashley, from
filling the Office. But this Sanborn alias
Williams out-Herods Herod. He pro-
poses to make o white skin q total dis
qualification for office, and probably for
suffrage. That is, he is not only going
to "strike the word white out of the
laws" rs the orators say, but he is 60
ing to put "black" in its place. II this
be so, Isaac should be promptly sacri-
feed on the political altar.-N. Y. Times.

WHAT LINCOLN AND DOUGLAS SAID
Lincoln said: ~ am not, and nev have
been, in favor Of making voters or jurors
of negroes; nor of qualifying them to
hold office, nor to intermarry with
whites; and l will say further, in addi-
ton to this, that there is = physical
difference between the black and white
races, which / believe will forever for
bid the two races living together on
terms Of social and political equality"
Said Douglas: al believe this Govern
ment was made by white men, for the
benefit of white men and their postcrity
forever; and l am in favor of combining
citizenship to white men-men of Euro
pean birth and descent, instead Of con-
ferring it upon negroes, Indians and
other inferior races"

ANALGAsATISG.-The New York Her
aid thinks the whole system Of manag-
ing the Indians should be changed, and
that the true policy is to prepare the
Indians for commingling with the other
races on the Continent. There being
less repugnance 1--WE hope So to ANAL
gamating with them than with the ne
groes, and the Indians having the pecu-
liar claim of being the original lords Of
the soil, the Herald thinks they should
be prepared to form a part Of the gen.
eral community, and to be taken up and
absorbed in it as civilization advances
across the plains. That's so-the great
hope Of America lies in homogeneity of
population, negroes out Of the question.
They have their w peculiar mission
allotted them.-Sdh Lake Telegraph.

Tho Canton Horror-Dea.h of Mrs. Hor.

Tho Canton H~orror-Death Of Mrs. Hof.
man and Suicide Of her Husband.
The terrible affair perpetrated at Can
ton, Ohio, on Sunday, the 18th ult., has
terminated in o double tragedy. The
particulars Of the case are generally
known. A nan named Hoffman had
led such o life as to make association
with him almost inendurable BY his
wife, Caroline. At last he was sent TO
the p~enitentiary, and during his imPfis,
onment his wife obtained q divorce ana
became again Caroline Yost. On ms
release, he learned of his wife's action
and became desperate. He went TO INC
house on the Sunday mentioned, n
learning she had gone to church, ioi-
lowed her thither. He went into tne
gallery where she sat, and demanded an
interview. This was refused, and NO
demanded to know whether she wouid
live with him again. She answered IN
the negative, when he asked her ior u
kiss, which she consented to give. AS
she approached him for that purpose,
he drew a largo knife and stabbed ner
repeatedly, in1icting horrible wounds.
He then, before he could be secured,
left the church, still brandishing the
bloody knife. At length he was SO,
cured and lodged in Jail. He expressed
only the desire that he had killed her
outright.
The injured woman lived in agony
until Saturday where she expired. Her
funeral took place on Monday afternoon,
and was very largely attended,. Inc
murderer heard Of his victims death,
and ayowed his determination not to
survive to be tried for murder. He tried
on Sunday night to kill himself by
humping his head against a wall, and
his feet were chained as q precautionary
measure, but he managed, during Sun
day night, to burn a hole in O board
partition with the stove poker, and tear
ing the sheets Of his cot into strips,
twisted them into a rope, which no
passed through the hole around the
side of the partition and around his
neck. When found on Monday morning
his feet were resting square on the floor,
though the neck was considerably
stretched. His s%usponders were twisted
into q cord and tied around his neck
also ; a handkerchief was drawn closely
around his head and over his mouth,
indicating that he attempted to suspend
or strangle himself with them.
He was loft hanging until Monday
afternoon and until he was taken down
there was q constant stream Of people
passing in and out of the cell to see
him. In the afternoon the body WAS
taken down and buried.

Ii KANSAS, where the female suffrage
question was n of the leading issues
Of the election, the women took in hand
themselves the management Of their own
cause. A State Executive Committee
of thirty ladies, all of whom aro mar
ried, and in their prei1es show the
wives of governors, clergymen, judges,
legislators and army officers, was estab-
lished, which prosecuted the case in
behalf of the sex it represented. This
committee issued a lengthy address,
which closed as follows:
"Whatever, then, may be the opinion
Of fair ladies who dwell in ceiled houses
in our older Eastern States and cities,
who, like the lilies, neither toll nor
spin, whose fair hands would gather
close their silken apparel at the thought
of touching the homelier garments Of
many q heroine of Kansas-whatever
they may say in reference to this ques-
ton, We, the women Of the Spartan State
declare-We want to vote"

SOCIAL ScANDEL. = About eleven
months ago, Senator Sumner Of Massa-
chusetts, took to himself a young and
accomplished wife who very recently
abandoned him and made her way to
Europe. This singular incident in
"high life has been the subject Of
considerable newspaper gossip, and in
regard to il a reliable New York corre-
spondent makes the following state
ment: In regard to loose newspaper
talk about a difficulty between Senator
Sumner and his wife, it may be worth
while stating, to correct misrepreseuta-
ton, that the trouble had its origin in
some misunderstanding in regard to
some letters sent by tho Senator to
Count Bismarck, requesting the with
drawal Of Baron Holstein, of tho Prus-
sian Legation, who has been, as alleged,
too attentive to Mrs. Sumner. Tho
lady's honor was reflected upon, and in
a fit of indignation she has gone to
Europe. These are the simple facts Of
the case, and l have them from M en-
tirely trustworthy source"

rur GREAT ADMIRAL.

34S
7, has been remarked that Admiral
Farracut has enjoyed an almost unin-
,errup,ed series of ovations from the
moment that he entered European wa
tiers to the present time. France, Rus
sia, Sweden, Denmark and Great Britain
have each in turn paid the highest Off
eial compliments to the brave old man,
whose name is to be forever woven with
the most brilliant achievements of naval
warfare. There is q marked difference
observable in the character Of his re-
ception by the different ~nationalities ;
but all, according to their national char
acteristics, have attssted their respect
and admiration for the American navy,
as represented in the person Of Admiral
Farragut. The French Empress visited
the flagship Franklin, Immediately on
the arrival of the squadron at Cherbourg,
while the Emperor received the gallant
Farragut with every expression of hos
pitality and respect. When the squad
ron reached the Northern waters, the
masses of the people Of Sweden, Dem
mark and Russia, instinct with a love
for America, because America is free'
We'd with their sovereigns in the most
enthusiastic demonstrations Of Joy over
the arrival of the greatest Of American
sailors. Stockholm, Copenhagen, Cron.
stadt and st. Petersburg gave to Ad.
miral Farragut q welcome from the peo'
pie which must have stirredth impulses
Of his republican heart with emotions
deeper thar could be excited by all the
splendors which attended the more for.
NAL but not less hearty Inequalities o.
courts and crowned heads.
There is a marked contrast noted as
Admiral F~arragut's squadron passes in
to British waters. France gives him
the hand of her Emperor and Empress.
Russia, Sweden and Denmark take him
to the embrace of the people, as if they
still loved to recognize the Morse blood
that flows in his veins. England meets
him with more formal courtesies, AND
vet it cannot be doubted that even Eng
lands natural jealousy towards the ma
val power Of America has given way
before the irresistible moral force which
Admiral Farragut carries everywhere
with him. Neither the Royal family
nor the people, recognized his presence
in England but the Board of Admiralt,
appears to have done oil in its power t
testify that England cheerfully confesse
her admiration Of the heroic deeds o
Farragut and his comrades. The Duk'
of Edinburgh, whose duty it is to rep
resent the naval Inequalities Of the ma
ton, is at sea, and the ~red-tapeism o
the English court probably could no
conceive the idea Of any other roya
parsonage assuming the prerogatives o
Prince Alfred.
But the American people care yer,
little about Farragut's reception q
English hands. In all things that con

rivals, and while the ex~traordinar.
achievements Of Farragut must extor
the admiration of all who know them
there is little love lost between Amer
lean and English sailors.

"No,hlux but Men,,

The first time | ever saw Abraham
Lincoln was q few weeks after his great
speech at the Cooper Institute, New
York, on What our fathers thought Of
the subject Of slavery" l was in the
law office of my friend, the late Colonel
John A. Bross, who was killed before
Petersburg, while nobly defending his
country's honor. The United States
Court had been in session upon that
day, and had just adjourned, it being
about 4 o'clock. Mr.. Lincoln came in,
smiling and holding a letter in his hand,
and as he entered the room, said
"John, I have just received o letter
from my boy" land think he said the
first one he ever received from him).
" I thought I would come in and read 1t
to you, or a portion of it, for the young
man writes pretty we'll ; especially re-
garding the good advice he received
from his mother"
After discussing the letter, talking
over army matters, etc., l said to him +:
Mr.. Lincoln, you have been to New
York, recently, believe
He said, Yes; he thought he would
90 down and look over the East a little;
get posted up, compare notes, etc. New

only to Washington for u few days

names whom | do not now remember
"Well, Uncle Abe, what do you think
of them, come to get acquainted with
them personally Mr.. Lincoln turned
around in his chair, placed his hand on
the Colonel's knee, and..said: "John,
they are nothing but men trhen you get up
close to them''
shall never forget the expression of
his countenance, nor the accent Of his
voice, as he said it. There seemed to
be q glory Of his countenance which
said, "brain against brain, heart against
heart, true ability against true ability,
they are not your or my superiors."
"Why," he says, awe sat down and
talked over matters as freely and I'M
constrained as you and would. They
are the most approachable men you ever
saw really felt at home with them"
