markable power at changing counte-
nance; others proposed lecture on
bonds and bondholders that a ma
tional debt is blessing; or one show
ing the equality of race. But the
state of feeling between the whites
and negroes who were intermingled
on deck rendered it dangerous to
broach the subject.
The young men of the Christian
Association proposed a prayer meet
ing for the brethren and sisters.
Mckinley urged it in an earnest
speech, and Elder Way recommended
a sermon by all means, The cOlored
brethren would enjoy the whole serv-
ices so much. Captain Tom also rec
commended the services, and indeed
he said he would bring for cOnsulta-
tion an old negro preacher, a friend
of his. The Reverend Belshazzar
Nicodemus Johnson was accordingly
brought in and asked his opinion.
He said -
my dearly 6elu66ed 6redeyn 1t
gibs to my heart enormous pleasure
to see you all 70 anxious to serb God
and the culled race
"Amen ~ shouted Underhill.

in once benighted Stark is glorious to
see. Time was when our saint John
Brown and our livin' saint, Wendell
Phillips, had no followers except In
one or two townships Of Stark county.
But now, what happy changr!-
Bress God, bredren, for de change !"
''Glory !" screamed Hartzell, "that
shows what the Scark County Repu6-
Hcdn has donP!'
Hereupon Captain Tom cast a vim
dictive glance.
Mckinley, seeing the danger, pro-
posed to form a prayer meeting at
once, and being urged ny brudder
johnson and Elder Way, it carried.
While Reverend Johnson and the
Others are thus engaged, let us see
what is going on upon deck.
| Captains Tom and HarIZell heard a
| terrible confusion and noise on deck ,

was glad to get away from the bah

when buck negro rushing head fore
most into q white squad, the crowd
separated and Tom received the

Hartzell with him There was some
swearing then!
The deck presented confused ap-
pearance. Even the wenches had
Joined in the row, and their heads
seemed as hard as any. One of them
missed the object of her vengeance,
and took Baldwin a biff, and over he
tumbled, losing his specks in the fall

gathered on the poop deck and com.
menced barricading against the charg
ing battery of niger heads, which
were preparing in two lines to cleal
the deck and send all the white trash
overheard.
Bill Barber declared he hit the head
of one black cuss with a marlin spike
with all his might, and the buck
didn't mind it.
Fortunately, at this moment, thC
Reverend MiStdh Johnson came VI
arm in arm between Underhill anC

very soon the negroes were draweC
off to hear a discourse and attend /

Piles of the Democratic pan ty-almost
half q million OF a majority of the
white voters of the country-casting
their ballots against the dogmas that
we are told were victorious. With
such a vote in favor of the ever living
principles of Democracy-withs such
majority in its favor, it IS base cow
ardice to cringe and cover, as though
we were defeated. The Democracy
constitute q large majority of the
American people, and their toiH must

WE are glad to see that our Demo-
cratic contemporaries are not at all
discouraged by the claimed radical
victory, the claimed mot reaIl election
OF Grant and Coliax. Our brethren
still maintain the necessity OF a
prompt return to the requirements of
the constitution and to those prInci-
pies of justice and practices OF econ
omy under which our country pros
pered. "Let US have peace" and the
way 70 peace IN this country is in

and robbery-are not "peace."

MURDER OF AN OLD LADY.-We have
iu>t been appraised Of the murder of an old
ladr, aged between seventy five and eighty
Years, known as Patsy Mills, by five ne
Croes. From what we can CLEAN, it appears
That Mrs. Mills, who has resided on the
I.ecsburg pike some ten miles distant from
Georgetown for a number of years, having
los, her husband about twenty years since,
has heeu pursuing the business of cult
waiting market truck in connection with
her son. The old lady and the son were
in the habit of coming to Washington and
Georgetown to dispose of their product; aud
being known as frugal people, it was suppos-
ed that considerable money had been accu-
muIatcl by this means. A number Of ne
grors in the locality knowing these facts,
proceeded To the residence Of Mrs. Mills,
on the Lcesburg pike, one night last week,
and brutally murdered her, besides Sc
yrrcly inuripg an old lady who was sojourn-
ing in the house at the tune. The son was
sound asleep at the time, and knew moth
ing Of the horrible affair until the next
morning. The Virginia authorities the
IcXt day arrested five notorious negroes Of
the ncighborhood on suspicion, who were
committed to the Fairfax county Jail. 1t
was ascertuined that q considerable amount
Of money had been taken away, which was
doubtless the incentive to the murder

in legal-tcnders they will sustain that

contracted by the Secretary of the Trea-

and if it did. the President would veto it,
As he is opposed to increasing the volume
