nInHiT LIKE Ii.

A Georgia correspondent Of the Mil
waukee Wisconsin says that quite an
ordinary negro, freed by Sherman, found
his way North straying as far as New
Haven, remaining there until a few
months since, when he returned to At
lanta. His old master, much surprised
at seeing him back again, says Why,
Tom, thought you went North" =" /
did, massa. / found the sentiment there
so noxious to the Southern gemmen-all
alb litionists there-I couldn't stand it,
massa, and returned"

HARD HIT.

A contemporary in the South has this
hit. "In view Of the condition Of the
people Of the South-its innocent women
and children starving to death for want
Of food-Mr. Permission, (copperhead),
introduced a bill into the Ohio Legisla-
ture, granting that aid which ten per
cent Of the money squandered during
the session would more than Gil. 1t did
not receive even decent respect from the
Radical majority, and was summarily
and indefinitely postponed by men, the
foreiathers Of whom made their fortunes
by selling negroes in the South, and who
have aided in disrupting the Union in
order to steal back the descendants Of
negroes that the eupidity Of their grand
sires stole from Africa.

HAS HOPES.

Among the most curious on dts Of the
times is one that Horace Greeley has
hopes of winning the next Presidency.
He thinks that by the time the ball opens,
time, (which makes all things even"
will have vindieated his sagacity in sus-
tanning his ideas of universal suffrage
and universal amnesty, and SO recon-
mend him as the stateman par excellence.
This is perhaps the widest hobby that
the gray.coat philosopher ever rode.

DRESDEN, IENE.I April ~, 1901.
GENTLEMEN: / have this day received
your communication of the 10th inst,
informing me of my nomination as the
candidate of the Conservative party for
Governor Of the State.
While am sincerely distrustful of my
ability to meet the just expectations of
those who composed the Convention, |
will not decline the nomination, nor will
] hesitate to say, that in my judgment,
the principles enunciated by the Con-
vention should satisfy all who prefer
government of law, of justice, of equal
rights for all the people of the State to
the foul domination of an ignorant,
brutal, and irresponsible despotism.
/ am, therefore, sin favor of immedi.
ate restoration of our disfranchised
fellow citizens to all rights, privileges,
and immunities of full and complete
citizenship" This, / am sure, will be
seconded by every man in the State,
regardless OF color, who is himself fit to
be free.
/ will enter upon the canvass early in
May, and l shall endeavor to perform
my whole duty. ask the cooperation
of those only who feel themselves de-
serving the name and privileges of citi-
zens. If all such will exert themselves
as duty and honor demand, we can end
effectually and forever the meanest
tyranny which was ever Matched in the
foul air of distempered times.
Very truly, etc.,

HI0H-HANDRD.

The Richmond Times, of the lith, says
that there had been an interview between
Gen. Schofeld and delegation from
Lunenburg county, in regard to the high
handed proceedings Of Capt. Connolly,
of the Freedmen's Bureau, in denying
the right Of the civil courts to try negro
cases, and establishing military control
Of said county. On yesterday the dele
CATION had another interview with the
General, when he stated that the pro-
ceedings of that officer were unauthor-
lied, and that the civil authority should
be imme diately restored.

FROM RICHMOND.

RICHMOND, Va, April z3.-The Legis-
lature has passed law levying tax of

pay the four per cent. annual interest on
the public debt Bills for the payment
of the entire interest on State bonds in
the various railroads, amounting to
nearly $22,OeO,OOO, are pending before

Senator Wilson spoke here last night
to an assemblage of negroes. He GEN.
sured Johnson's policy, and advised the
negroes to stand by the Republican party
and avoid secessionists; urged the dis
franchised class to aid reconstruction as
the only means to secure the removal of
the present disability.

White Coon.

The Lynchburg VirginiGn says q
white coon was captured few nights
since near Farmville. That coon had no
right to be white 1t was disloyal. 1t
evinced rebellious spirit 1t showed
that he was not elevated above low
prejudices of caste and color. he ought
to be disfranchised Somebody ought to
reconstruct him, and finally con6scstion
would do him no harm aud perhaps much
good. The national life ID imperiled
when coons Insist on being white The
most patriotic Congress that ever sat
ought to take that coon under considera-
ton, and guarantee to him a republican
form of government

prominence: "All our large cities are infsst.

wasting months and years of valuable time
in waiting for something to turn up. or in
such work as couduces noting TO the d..

tween these figures, if not above the highest
Why will our young men persist in seeking

beaten and perfectly sure path of honesty and
Intelligent Industry If this meets the eye Of
any one out of employ yment,a and heiswilline
to take advice, let him without an hour,

Fire.-The house on the farm lately
bought by 7. Wilcox, of U. B. Lennon and
situated in York Tp., North Ridge, was
very quickly burned down on the 26 inst.
The fire was first discovered on the top of
the house by two men at work 60 or 80 rods
distant Mr.. Wilcox being absent). The
flames had to be met by these two men,
Mrs. Wilcox and two daughters, until the
neighbors were alarmed. But as the fire
had caught in the roof of the two story
building by sparks from the kitchen Chin
nsy of the one story, and made an air-hole
each side of the ridge dropping fire into the
hall leading to the upper bedrooms, little
chance was left to save property except by
diving through the fire and throwing good
out the window, knowing that every mo-
ment made the retreat more hazardous. One
large room was thus cleared of everything
except be dstead by one of the girls en-
tirely alone, but she could not get into
(much less get out of) second room used
at the time as a store room for bedding.
Never could neighbours rally more prompt
ly or house and out building of the same
size be wiped out in less time. Most of the
goods in the lower roome except one barrel
of molasses one load of potatos, and other
things Of less value in The celler were saved.
But ve;y large loss must be borne, light
encd however by the reflection that no one
is TO be blamed.
