and cut his foot severely.
This would not have surprised lis if it had
happened at Wilmington, where so many

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION I'VE learn
from Capt. c. B. G.. Cole, of Col. Clarke's
regiment, that an attempt was made to ASST
nate him on Sunday last, about two miles
from Williamsborough, Granville county
He was on horseback, and was fired at
twice, from ravine on the side of the road
We have seen the marks of the balls in
Capt. Coles hat. His escape was very
narrow one.
Capt. Cole has been active in raising State
troops in Granville county; hence this at
tempt to take his life. This is but another
proof that the Kuklux Klan are assassins
and murderers and enemies to their country
This is the second attempt on Captain
Coles life A pistol was drawn on him
near Townsville short time previously in
in the presence of several witnesses.

Lo.THE POOR NEGRO

The sum of thirty thousand dollars is at
once needed to relieve the destitute miser-
ables of the District of Columbia. The
Congressional Utopia is in a melancholy
condition. Senator Bayard, of Delaware,
out of sheer humanity, felt himself CON-
PEELED to vote for the appropriation. In
announcing his intention he thus spoke of
the state Of things at the National Cap
ital
"But while, sir, have announced nv
intention TO vote for this measure, and for
these plain reasons, / cannot forbear to
call the attention of the Senate and the
country to the fact that the city of Wash
ington, the District of Columbia, which
has been under the bGnefcent care of that
party which is par excellence the friend
OF the black man, offers to-day the spec
tacle of being the very worst and most
unhappy home that he has on the face of
the earth. We have had here the evil
dence of philanthropic ladies who have
Travelled through all parts of the United
States, and who tell you that nowhere
within the range of civilization, to their
knowledge, is there so much of human
wretchedness as exists to-day among the col
Ored people of this District. Ishould be dis
posed to add my own testimony much to
the same effect; less in degree, but SINH
lar in kind. At my own dwelling in this
district the appeals for charity are con-
slant; ten fold more numerous than
ever knew in that community which was
my home, and which l in part represent
upon this floor. Passing through the
streets, through the thoroughfares of this
town, there are larger bodies of wretched
colorcd people than l ever saw in nv
whole life before. was brought I'D in |
where these people abound, |
where they formed one-fOurth of the en- |
tire population; and l do say that Inever
saw in all my previous life as much IN |
happiness, as much degradation and vice
apparent in that class of people as have
n the few short months which have /
passed in the City of Washington. -"
Al that Mr.. Bayard has said is strictly
rue. The colored people, as brethren
nd citizens, have proven themselves to
,e sad failures in Washington.

BUTLEIE AND IsoUrwELI..


President Grants administration must be
reduced to very melancholy plight, says
that influential Radical organ, the New
York Times, before Mr. Buffers defence
of it can be deemed either necessary or
beneficial. Already in ihe course of the
session that gentleman has made great
efforts to wipe out the recollection of mis-
own political career prior ID the war by
blackening the characters of others-as
the ctttlefsh is said to cast out an inky
fluid as it swims, TO hide its track. 1t is
indiscreet for a man who lives in so very
exposed a glass house as General Butlerto
pass his time in throwing stones. But the
merits and dement's of this gentleman are
now fully understood by the public and
it would be 8 waste of time TO discuss any
part of his conduct on the ordinary plane
of human motives.
The time may perhaps come whom it
viii not be necessary for any Administra-
ton to place at the head of the Treasury
gentleman who had never paid the
slightest attention to economic questions,
and who has probably never done more
than sum in simple addition or subtrac-
ton since he left school, Finance is a
science, and to deal with it wisely re-
quires not only q man of rare sagacity and
information, but a special quality of mind
not found in one out of ten thousand. We
should not set coal miner to search for

watch. Why should it be supposed that

to deal with so complex and dangerous a
