The Press sCoNFERENCE.-The New
berry Herald copies the resolutions adop-
ted at the press conference, and adds:
The conference could not well have
done less than adopt the above generous
line, and We are rejoiced that it went
nc further, aud we hive no doubt that
all the Democratic papers 10 the State
unrepresented on the occasion will fully
and heartily endorse the resolutions.
We go further in believing that they
will meet the approval of all anti Radi.
calists, white and black, in the State,
and We indulge the hope that an earnest
and determined rally will be made in the
canvass approaching to rid the State of
its corrupt government.
The Sumter Hatchmaa says; at the
close of an editorial on this same sub
ject:
"We may, therefore, say that we heart.
lily endorse the position assumed by the
Press Conference, and call upon our peo.
pie of all classes to unite upon it. We
also endorse the call which has been
made for a convention of the people of
the State, on the Is of June irrespective
Of gacs' color Q. previous condition Let
there be convention which shall repre-
sent all clnsses of our citizens, and let
these. eschewing for the time, national
politics aud past party names, and look
ing only to ths reformation of our State
GoyerntmeEt, unite in constructing
platform upon which all honest men may
stand When this shall be accomplish
ed, then may we look with hope for de-
liveranee, and the dawning of that day
of peace and prosperity which shall break
upon the long night of disaster misrule
and blood and oppression, through which
we have passed"

LIEUTENANTGEN ENEkAL SHERIDAN
The New York World, referring to the
recent Indian massacre by United States
troops, and TO General Sheridnn's part
in it, says:
This is our Glencoe. Lietenant.
Genal Sheridan is our Master of Stair
He waits, like his old cxemplar, till the
dead winter he steals, iu his own
word, on the hapless village; deep SHOWS
encompass it without; smallpox is rag
ing within all but the old men are
hunting, and sleep is on every eye. Then
he strikes, strikes hard'-hard enough
to cut the throats of ninety women and
fifty children under twelve.
This thing he calls victory he de-
fends it; he procures threat ut chat of
ficer who, with the natural horror of a
Christina gentleman, gives the true read
ing and then he declares, with 5rava-
do for the whole country, that if he can.
not be sustained he must be moved to
another place. Where shall we put
him? Shall it be in front of court
martial, as one who has brought shame
on American honos, and then, when the
the verdict is rendered, break before his
eyes the sword that is red with womans
blood ?"

A Teacher in Springfield (Massa-
chusetts) public school, says the Repaid
hcan, was recently the victim ofa poetic
joke by q poet--an eight year old Irish
student--which runs thus
"a little mouse ran up the stairs,
To hear Miss Blodgett, say her prayers"
On being threatened with a severe whip
ping if not able to produce another stanza
within five minutes, he again sung out:
"Here I stand before Miss Blodgetr,
She's goih' to strike, and Tmgon' to dodge
it."
After which the "poet" was allowed to
escape unpunished, and repaired trium
phantly no his seat, followed by pcals of
laughter from the whole school, the
teacher inclnded, as a reward for his
genius. This recalls the story of Watts,
the hymnist, who, when his father threat
encd to punish him for turning every
thing into rhyme, said:
"Oh, fathor, on me pity take,
And will no more verses make"
Whcreupon the chastisemcnt was omit
ted.

CUBA-There is n surmise current
that the Administration contemplates
action of most extraordinary character
upon the Cuban question, it being the
recognition of the volunteer organization
now holding high carnival in the prin-
cipai cities of the island as the de facto
Government, and the accordance of
belligerency thereto. This action is
supposed to be part of the policy of Mr..
Fish in his diplomacy with Madrid.
