From Newark N. j. Courier.
We are informed ly prominent lawyer
of this city, that while scjourning in Am

company with a former rebel officer, who
was attached to Stonewall Jack sons divis~
ion Of the Confederate army during the
war, and who related an interesting rem
iniscence Of the death of General kaarny,
Of which SAD event he was an eye witness.
THE gallant Kearney, he said, received
his death wound from a private is my com
mand, and when he fell from his horse,
FASTENED, With many others, to the point
where he lay, not suppOsing that his wound
was mortal one. just as we reached his
body, however, his limbs gave one con
vulsive culver, and then all was over.
Seeing that he was a Major General, word
was sent to head quarters to that effect,
and General jackson coming to the SPOT
Immediately gave one glance at the dead
officer features, and exclaimed, MY God.

Great Political Victory.

The liberals Of the English House Of Com

the 18th ult. On that day the bill for
disestablishmeut and Gisendowing the IT.

against. When the result was announced
the House committed what whoud have
been violation of the rules in the Amer
lean Congress-giviDg cheer upon cheer,
each one Of which was taken up by the
galleries above, and then by the crowd
outside, and rolled into an anthem of gen

EJ The future Of the negro on this con
tiDent is one of much speculation, and the
cause If a great many ords, much print,
and some laws. 1t has been pretty well
proven, however, that wherever left to
himself, he does not thrive as we'll as the
other races Of mankind, the Indian be-
ing the only exception. Whether slavery
IN the south YVES right or wrong, there was
enc fact connected with it which is no.
connected with freedom and that
Is the great increase in numbers of the
black population. For instance, on q
plantation near Mobile, on which resided
thirty black women, before the war, the in
crease Of population amounted to fifteen
per year, but since tue war, with the same
number of women residing on it, the in
crease is only one or two per year, and it is
the same result almost throughout the en-
entire south. Experience tends to prove
that in less than generation from now
the negros viii be as fe " 10 lumber in the
south as they are now in the north, and
that they will continue to decrease numer
ically instead Of Increasing.

Mrs Jahnson, a confirmed invalid, hes

pale face, and sunken eyes, fully proved
the expression. Mrs johnson looks rluch
older than the President, and her age does
exceed his by few swings Of the scythe of

OFFICIAL Paper OF THE COUNTY.

rhe Future of the South,

From down-cast stand point, the future
of the South is thus predicted by the Boston
Emigrant Although the article is written
with reference to the Western States, they
apply with equal force to the Southern
States, proper, and are words 'fitly spoken" y
'The rapid increase of the West in popula-
ton and wealth is one Of the great marvels
of history. The Mississippi Valley, which
half century ago was wilderness, is now
the home of nearly fifty millions, and during
the next fifty years will have hundred mil
lions. State after State has started up. and
this section will become one of the worlds
great graneries This rapid growth has
been owing to free labor, an extended rail-
road system, and very efficient organiza-
tion of State Bureaus of immigration.
We see in these results what is In store for
the South. She has millions of acres of the
best land the sun ever shone upon. Her
water power is almost limitless Immense
tracts are underlaid with coal easy to be
had Iron ore waits for. the smelling. Tim
Der of the best quality abounds. 1t only
needs to have these broad acres settled,
these waterfalls to set the wheels in motion
these coal and iron beds to be opened, these
forests to be felled and sawed, to make the
South the home of millions and the richest
soot;or of +bo TT,;tol Ctotos
To secure this the South should have va
ried industries. Her railroads need this to
be fully sustained. By deyoting capital to
mining and manufacturing, towns will start
up, villages line the railways and dot the
rivers, schools and colleges will thus be null
tiplied, and every means Of happiness in
creased. ui
Thus the South has before it glorious
future. At the close of this year the plant
eS will have more ready money than ever
before. We do not say they are richer-but
that more of their wealth is in solid cash.
In a few years this capital will naturally
seek Investments, and manufactures will
claim more attention. With the raw mate.
rial at their own doors, with immense coal
beds, with iron abundant and large sup
ply of timber, nothing can prevent her be.
coming richer and more prosperous. Al
ready the most energetic and far-sighted
men Of the South see this. They are work
ing for her industrial development"

The Governors Proclamation.


In another column will be fousd the pro
clamation of the Governor relative to the
putting down of the Ku Klux The causes
which impel him to its PRONUNCIATION are
clearly aud forcibly recited, and the logic of
his positions cannot be disputed. The pro-
clamation evinces determination to crush
out the Ku Klux, which must meet with the
appreciation ofcitizens who desire the peace
of the State to be undisturbed, and who wish
the cOmmittal Of murders to cease. Con-
cerning the text of the document We have
no comments to make, for they could not
add toits force, or do anything TO render its
meaning clearer, for 1t explains itself and IN
a manEer which cannot be mistaken. BY it
the men in those counties who have done
deeds Of violence and murder know that the
day of reckoning has come fer them, and
that the whole power Of the State isnow to
be used against them We fully sympathize
in the object of the proclamation. We
shOuid regret, deeply regret If the State
should be Obliged 70 use her citizen SOL
diery against even portion OF the citizens
Of any county, bu. the laws OF the State
must be respected. The only way by which
TO avert such crisis is for every Influential
man in those counties to use his influence to
put down lawlessness and crime. This
should be done by the good men of both
parties without regard to party feelings.
We hope that this course win be adopted,
but the past seems to forbid hope for the
future. But once more We appeal to the
good men Of those counties TO use their every
endeavor to pat 4 stop TO this carnival of
crime which is now disgracing and running
the State.
