A Servants Revenge.

T A DISTRESSING story of a "servants
revcngeA comes from a quiet part of
Berkshire, England. Lieutenant Colonel
llickic had n nurse in his family named
Elizabeth Barry. She was discharged
Gom his- service, and threatened TO have
her revenge One day during the absence
of Colonetlliclic and his wife, the nurse
disappeared, taking with her her employ
er's youngest child, a girl of 17cmonths
old, The parents were thrown, into a
dreadful state of grief as night came on
and their child was not brought back.
From thatday no tidings have been heard
of nurse or child. The detectives were
set to work. but Colonel Hickie writes to
the papers to enlist "the sympathy and
help OF the millions of selfmade detect.
ives who may be found in the-fathers
and mothers of England They alone can
conceive the awful agony we suffer as
one sad day afteranother passes away, and
our hopes of seeing our dear childare still
deferred" In case the woman may have
escaped TO this, country, we append the
ColoncPs description of his child
"Thc distinctive mark on her face, the
mole ON the right side of her upper lip,
the peculiar blue vein "a birth mark) un-
der tho left eye of our child, and the
deepdimple on her chin, all lead usto hope
for speedy recoveryof our lost one, il we
could only secure the eyes and the hearts
that would watch for her everywhere.
10 these, as our last, our highest hope,
under God, a bereaved father and mother
now appeal, and waitin eeep suspense the
result" IS

A Popular Error.

From the Mobile Tribune, June H.
We think that the fact of their readers
being conquered people is too generally
ignored by Southern papers.
The greater portion of them talk just
as they used to do before the war, when
their articles were addressed to people
who exercised vast influence over the
policy of the Federal Government. Such
articles, if we regard them in their true
light, look supremely ridiculous at the
present time.
"We shall labor for the restoration of
constitutional government" says one,
and hundred or more echo the senti-
ment.
We shall oppose the formation of an
Imperial government" says another,
and the words are adopted as chorus
set to music.
Now, to what amounts the advocacy of
or opposition to any measure of the
Washington oligarchy en- the part of the
organs of people disfranchised and
completely at the mercy of the power
whose policy is to be regulated ?
1t is precisely as if the prisoners at
Camp Chase had fancied that they could
control by their votes the policy of their
jailers, and had seriously set to work to
do it.
But the papers are not wholly to blame.
About one-half of the Southern people
are possessed with the fsllacious belief
that they still have the destinies of the
Federal Government in their keeping,
and that on them devolves the work of
gathering up the scattered fragments of
the Republic and welding them together
again by some impossible process.
( Nevertheless the fact is pslpable one
that we are disfranchised people, with
no part or parcel in the Washington
Government except to pay taxes for its
support and for that of the official thieves
who stand between it and Us.
1t is true that our conquerors profess
to allow US the privilege of voting, but
the profession is hollow mockery; in
asmuch as the result of any vote we may
poll is ruthlessly Cancelled unless it is in
conformity with the policy of the CEN
tralized despotism, or happens not to
conflict with it.
And yet people in such condition are
bent upon restoring the Republic
For our part we would not raise hand
to restore it if il were in our power to do
so. We glory in its destruction as one
grand result of the war waged for the con-
quest of the Southern States. We stand
by its death bed, and watch every dying
struggle with not particle of sympathy.
We comment on the symptoms OBJ
served in the same spirit that we would
on the funeral of murderer and suicide,
endeavoring only to point out facts and
their meaning without even desiring to
furnish remedy for the disease.
At the same time we see what the reme-
dy is, and that the Northern people will
have to pass through fiery furnace be,
fore they can reach it.

Supreme Court Decist0n-The Negro
Eligible 10 Office.

ATLANTA, June l5.-The Supreme
Court Of Georgia to-day rendered deci-
sion that the negro is eligible to office,
Judges Brown and Mccoy in favor and
Judge Warner dissenting.
Judge Mccoy held that the State was
without civil government before the con-
vention that made the present constitu-
ton; that the blacks and whites partici-
pated in getting up the convention and
framing the constitution, and it was
against its spirit to exclude blacks or
whites from the privileges unless ex.
pressly prohibited.
Judge Brown claimed that the four
teenth amendment forbids anybody being
deprived of its privileges, and as the
code gives citizens the right to hold
office, and the constitution makes him
citizen and does not forbid him to hold
Office, it was not the intention of the law
to break the fourteenth amendment.
Judge Warner held that the negro was
q new political creature in the body poll
tic; that he must hold office by special
enactment; that the code which defines
the powers of citizens was enacted before
the negro became citizen, and there
fore it did not apply to him; that be did
not have the right to hold Office under the
common law nor by statute since he was
made citizen; but the convention voted
down the proposition to make him
eligible to the office, and until he was
especially authorized to hold Office be
was ineligible.
