Kuklux in New Jersey.

New Jersey is Democratic State. For
long time the white mans party have had
full control and have been diligent in their
teaching. Mark the effect of that in
struction.
The colored people living in the surround
ing country assembled al Pennington to
celebrate the adoption of the fifteenth
amendment. A large company was present
and the proceedings, consisting of pro-
cession, speeches and music, passed off pleas
antly, good order prevailing through the
entire time. AS delegation Of about one
hundred were passing through Lambertville,
about eight o'clock in the evening, the fire
bells were rung as signal and the wagons
containing the colored people were sud-
deny surrounded by crowd of white
people armed with stones, clubs and pistols
A volley of stones was pouredsinto the
wagons, and pistols were discharged at them;
many were seriously injured. The Union,
Sentinel affirms that the outrage was a pre-
aeditated ono on the part OF the white
mans party, and claims that such proceed
ings are the legitimate fruits Of the teach
ing of the Democratic leaders for years past.

1t is quite probable that the European
war will be followed another great war on
the Eastern shores of Asia. The whole civiliz-
ed world has bone to pick with China.
The outrages perpetrated by the celestials
upon foreign missionaries, not long since,
awoke a cry of horror throughout christen-
dom. The Chinese authorities have failed to
make apology therefor, and, instead, are
assuming very war like attitude toward
foreigners. France, in particular, is called
upon to avenge the massacre of her mission
aries, and if she comes out of the war too
much crippled, it is not impossible that
other Christian governments will lend a
hand to punish these celestial barbarians.

Several influential colored citizens visited

Several influential colored citizens visited
Gov. Walker at Richmond, recently, to ask
that colored men be admitted to the jury
box. The Governor informed them that the
Legislature had not altered the old code so
as to admit of it, and ADVISED them to APP
peal to that body Exchange. 3s-f
The colored men who voted the Walker
ticket at the last election are no doubt
surprised that their loud-mouthed friends
should treat them in this manner. 1t is just
as we expected. If the same is not done in
this State, it will.be because the Democratic
party think they need the votes of colored
men to keep them in power.
The Republican party is the only true
friend of the colored race. The colorcd
people Of Virginia have found out who
are their friends in that State, and they
will vote solidly the Republican ticket.
The cloven foot will out every now and
then. It is easier for the leopard to change
his spots than it is for old political hacks
to forget that the colored man was once q
slave and that he must be treated as a MAN,
and not as hireling. sf

PROSPERITY OF CoLUMBIA.-According
ing to the Phanir, Columbia must be in a
prosperous condition. 1t says:
Columbia is pushing forward. New
buildings are going up in every direction,
and the feeling is generally expressed that
but few years will elapse ere her former
prosperity will not only be reached but ac-
tually surpassed. Carpenters and brick
layers are obtaining excellent wages and
mechanics of every. grade are in demand" J"
Columbia was once the prettiest city in
the Southern States, and we hope to live to
see the day when she will far surpass her
former -nrosnerity If her people will only
press forward, discard Old fogY sdsas, and
grasp with the present, and make the most
of the situation, there is no reason why oul
sister Capital way not be more in the future
than she was in the past.

A REPORT reaches us from French sources
that Russia is on the point of being embroi-
ed with Turkey. The news may or may
not be founded upon the truth, but it has at
least basis of probability. If the great
Cossack power can succeed in dealing a
blow at her inycterate enemy while the rest
of Europe is not looking, her purpose, enter
tained for the last two Decades is accom-
plished. While the Prussian and French
cats are away the Russian mouse can take
turn at play, with fair chance of obtaining
a nibble OF the Turkish cheese after which it
has so long hankered. In the midst of con-
Trajectory reports that this power is arming
and is not arming against Prussia, this little
item of news furnishes thread to guide us
out of the perplexity. An armament in
deed there is, but it is against the Turkish
and not against the German bugbear. rt

seventy breweries Of Lager Beer. The total
amount of beer manufactured by them an
nually is 25O,O00 barrels. The annual
amount realized from the wholesale is S2,-

law REQUIRES on each barrel one dollar
