ton. She instantly struck a light,
and tried to dispel the recollection of
her horrible vision by reading. AT.
Ter lapse of two hours, during
which she had determinedly fixed her
attention on the book, she put out the
lights, and soon fell asleep. The
same dream again occurred; after
which she did not dars-although a
woman of singular moral and physi-
cal courage-to attempt to sleep any
more that night Early on the fol
lowing morning she called upon the
writer, and told him of her fearful ex
perience of the past night. Nothing
more at the time was thought of
these dreams; but shortly afterward
the news reached England that DR..
Parkman was missing; that the last
time he was seen alive he was enter
ing the college gates; and that the
janitor was suspected of having muir
dered him.
On the writer mentioning this to
Y. Y. she at once exclaimed: "Oh,
my dreams! DR.. Webster must be the
murderer" The next mail but one
brought the news that the true muir
derer had been detected; and that, at
the very time when x. Y.'s dream
occurred, he must have been actually
to get the bones--the
flesh having been previously burned
Unto wooden box such as she had
seen; and that, after attempting in
vain to break the thigh bones, he had
hidden them elsewhere.

TOO FAsr-A RADICAL WARNING.
lFrom the Seymour tIlld.) Times Radical

From the Seymour IND J Times Radical.
We would respectfully suggest to the
leaders Of the Republican party that
they arc erowding the 'colored person"
a little too fast for their own good and for
his good. Negro suffrage is a bitter pill
for at least one-halfthc men who have
hitherto voted the Republican ticket
Hence time should have been given
them before another and a worse dose
was exhibited This crowding of the
negroes into office while there are white
men quite as deserving and as web
qualified won't win in the long run. 1t
will break the Republican party down.
1t will reduce the negro to worse con-
dition than he occupied in state OF
slavery, if that were possible. 1t will
sooner or later lead to his eXternina-
ton. Politicians and fanatical idiots
who cannot read the signs of the times
may elevate the negro to the United
States Senate and to tie platform of con-
vcntions but they can't find endorse
ment at the polls for such disgusting
conduct, and they will find 1t out when
too late. 1t is probable that both par
ties will strive for the negro vote. We
predict that tic foolish policy Of clevat-
ing negroes to Office and Of catering to
them for their votes. viii result in the
formation of what will be termed 'The
White Man,s Party" which will be
strong enough to carry the next Presi-
Dental election, if wisdom in the selec-
ton Of candidates is observed, and there
is not too much rebel Democracy mixed
up with it. Such movement is immi-
nent, and if made will break up the Re-
publican party, which would be de-
plorabIe event for the country. Let us
secure the negro in his right to the bal
lot, bu! for the salvation Of our country
for the good of the ncgro-let us dis
suadc him from seeking or accepting Of
fee.

THE SHADOWS OF EMPIRE

Thicker, every week adding to their
gloomy portents. We have already a
centralized government limited only by
The discretion of Congress. This dis
erection must also become concentrated.
The transition to an Empire at once
would be too abrupt and perhaps at
tended with violence. 1t must be grad

could have been conceived better calcn.
lated to facilitate the result than the
bill before Congress to establish sys-
tenn of national education. Millions of
dollars are to be expended annually
thousands of salaricd officials arc to be
appointed "to teach the young idea how
to shoot" in accordance with tho wishes
of the government. The las: section
tells the whole tale and points the moral.
1t makes it optional with the President,
whether the system will not be intl oduc-
ed into all the States and lie is clothed
with absolute power to decide whether
any State system meets his views and
wishes, and if not, the national scheme
will be made to supercedc it. We are
progressing.

General R. f. Lee sailed on the
steamer Nick King last Tuesday to visit
the grave of his father, General Harry
Lee ("Light Horse Harry''), situated at
Dungeness, Cumberland Island, on the
coast Of Georgia.
General Henry Lee was, during the
winter of l817-lS, at the West Indies
for his health He sailed from Nassau
on the ship "Betsy" for Savannah on
the 10th February, 1918.
Instead Of landing at Savannah he
only reached Cumberland Island, where
he was received by Mrs Shaw, the
daughter of General Greene, at the las!
house of his beloved commander and
friend.
lie died soon after his arrival, on the
25th of March, 1918. 1t was doubtless
consolation to him, as he could not
reach his home, to have his last hours
soothed by the tender care Of the daugh-
ter Of one he so much revercd, and to
know that his remains would be placed
by the side of his comrado in arms.
One incident of his death is worth re-
cording as showing how his vencration
for Washington and his fondncss for cx-
pressing it cIung to him to the last. A
surgical operation was proposed, as Of.
fering some hope of prolonging his life.
The surgeon urging this resort, his pa
tient put an end to the discussion by
saying: only dear sir, were the great
Washington alive and here, and joining
you in advocating it, | would still re-
sist."
Dungcncss is now the property Of Mr..
WIN. Nightengale, a grandson Of Gener-
al Greene, and whose guest General
Lee is at the present time. The latter
will probably return to Savannah by
the end of the week, and remain here
until the time arrives for his departure
for Virginia, So our Florida friends,
who have expressed such anxiety to
greet the old hero, will probably be dis
appointed unless they como to Savan-
nah. -RepuJttcan.

KNOWS HIM.

The Boston Post evidently knows Bull
lock Just about as well as the people
down here in Georgia do. 1t gives him
this complimentary notice which we
cheerfully publish without charge. WO
arc very sure Forney would not be as
liberal:
"lf Governor Bullock's stories were
true, he ought 10 be made the first sub
jcct of military rule and be put under
guard and sent home with instructions
to discharge his daty and see that the
laws are executed, or else vacate his of
fee. The Senate demcans itself and de-
grades the country, while it does Geor'
gia the grosscst injustice, by suffering
this invetcrate demagogue and political
gamestcr to leave his post of duty to in
fest tho Hobbies and even encroach upon
the seats of Senators, to ply his art OF
falschood, trickery and impudent de-
mand."

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.-Not

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.-Not.
withdrawing this measure has so much
discussed, talk cd and even "cusscd" over,
there are many still who do not under
stand is real import. Its design, re-
marks the Baltimore Sun, is not so much
to confer rights upon individuals as to
the powers of legislation of the United
States and the several States. It,quali,

tofore exercised and enjoyed Of declar-
ing what persons shall exercise the right
of suffrage within their limits, by forbid
ding them to make any distinction in
this respect son account of races, color,
or previous condition of servitude."
With other qualifications and distinctions
which the States may choose to enforce
it does not interfere. 1t does not confer
the right of suffrage upon blacks except
to the extent, and in the cases, and I'M
der the same conditions and restrictions,
under which the same right is enjoyed
by white men. If, for example, the
people of any State should choose 20 re-
quirc a property qualification of all vo-
tiers, there is nothing in the Fifteenth
Amendment to forbid such a limitation
of the right of suffrage. Only the quail
fcation must be exacted of black and
white alike. To DO otherwise woull be
to discriminate con account of color"
The same may be said of an cduca-
tional test-of law requiring that in
addition to the usual qualifications of age
citizenship and residence, every voter
must possess a knowledge threading and
writing, or the elements of a common
school education. In other words, the
States retain under tho amendment full
power to limit, qualify or restrict the
right of suffrage as they may see fit, pro-
vidcd that the laws enacted for the pur-
pose are made to operate upon all per-
sons alike, without any distinction con
account of race, color or previous condi-
ton of servitude." So with respect to
any extension of the right Of suffrage.

Notwithstanding the amendment has
several times appeared in these columns,
it may not be amiss to reproduce its ex-
act text, which is as follows:
Article ". Section |. The right of
citizens of the United States to vote

to send troops to any portion of the

suppress in instruction. 1t is pretty

RADICAL SPIRIT.

The Atlanta Era has no objection to

is the height or depth of radicalism.

1t is encouraging to know that there
is a strong feeling in the Ways and

two and half per cent tax on incomes
instead of five, with an exemption of two
thousand dollars. Had such bill been
reported and promptly passed at the
opening of the session, before the returns
for the wear we're made out it would have,
we think, very materially increased their

A CHICAGO journal devoted to real es-
tate matters, publishes an article urging
the removal of the national capital to
Fort Kearney, in the centre of Nebraska,
and gives this glowing description of the
place: 'The Valley of the Platte on
the Fort Kearney military reservation is
about ten miles wide-the river with the
islands being about two miles wide. At
Fort Kearney the islands of the Platte
are very numerous, SO numerous that
they are called The Thousand Islands.
These islands are covered with fine
growths of trees, consisting of cotton
wood, cedar, willow, ash, elm and other
useful and ornamental shrubs, grapes,
plums, and electarines, OF buffalo berries,
a tart fruit about the size of the common
currant, that grows there wild in gieat
profusion. The gentle running waters
of the Platte, the island groves, the level
prairie lands of the valley, clothed with
Yerdure, and the many peaked hills and
bluffs skirting the valley, make land
scape scenery truly beautiful and one
well suited as a site for the nations
capital, productive alike of craftsmanship
and virtue" If the fine character of the
scenery about Fort Kearney will produce
craftsmanship and virtue" the sooner
the capital is removed thither the sooner
will the nation find itself repaid for the
investment. No matter what the cost of
removal would be, the nation would make
money by the change.

Ir seems that the extraordinary changes
of temperature, which were Observed
both in this country and Europe during
the past winter, were not less striking in
other parts of the world. 1t is stated in
letter from Cairo, Egypt, datel March
Is, 1870, that the late intense cold weather
extended to the 4Oth degree of latitude.
The port of Brindisi was full of ice at
the commencement of February; in Corfu
the entire orange crop was killed by FROST
and during the months of December, Janu-
uary and February, which is the rainy
season in Syria, the drought was so severe
in Northwestern Africa that thousands of
people brought their domesticated animals
into Egypt to provide them with food and
water. The scarcity of food and water
has reached the highest point in Syria In
Jerusalem they pay two dollars for five
gallon Jug of water, and the Bedouins
from the valley of the Jordan and the
Eastern mountains arrive in numbers in
the vicinity of the Holy City, plundering
the inhabitants of the little that is left to
them. A company of tourists returning
from the Sinai report that they. found
themselves in three tornadoes in one week,
and that everywhere they heard OF the
most extraordinary climate changes.
