Rev. DADDY" CAIN, the negro editor of
the Missionary Record, published at Char
lesion. s. c., repudiates the Radical party.
Daddy" is a powerful leader among bis
people in the State. He says in bis paper:
The Republican party started out we'll
I WAS much encouraged for my race and
party, but a set of men have now got hold
of it who are bringing disgrace upon it
and running it for their own benefit. In no
State of the Union is the Republican party
Ia such odium as IN South Carolina. The
Legislature is ignorant and corrupt. Good
men have been thrust aside to make room
for piunderers. Many Of the 50 called carpet
baggers among Us are of the worst sort. and
bad men cannot be got out of Office until the
whole Republican party in the State goes
overheard and the Democracy come to power.
There never was party that had better
chance to do good than ours, never; never
WAS on; that done worse.

GRANTS YERACITY.-In his indianapolis
speech General Grant said that be had no
intention Of coming to Indianapolis until he
met Senator Morton at Pittsburg. by whose
soft persuasions he was induced to make the
Indiana visit. 1t is a well-known fact in
railroad circles that two of Puman's fine
sleeping coaches were despatched from Har-
risburg to Baltimore the Saturday previous,
thero to await the Presidential party One
of them, known as President Tom Scott's
car, was assigned for Senator Morton, and
the other (the Jewett car was placed at the
disposal of President Grant. These two cars,
containing the royal and Santo Domingo
party. left Baltimore on Thursday night at
20 O'Clock ard in due time arrived at Pitts
burg jointly. 1t was here that Grant says
he first met Morton. having travelled with
him from Washington in the Pullman cars.
and there it was from the time they started
at Washington that the Indiana visit was

A TERRIBLE DRATH.--A heart-repding
accident occurred near Bertrand, Mich, on
the Sd, by which the wife of Mr.. John Pope
was literally roasted alive. Mrs. Pope was
subject to fits. and. being habitual pipe
smoker, 1t is believed by her neighbors that,
during the absence of her husband. she was
taken with fit, and, perhaps. smoking at
the time. her clothes caught fire from the
ashes, and that partially recovering her con-
sciousness she wandered into the yard, where
she set fire to pile of straw and then put it
out. She then evidently leaned against the
building. and again extinguished the flames
with a wet cloth. During her rawlings she
cut her garters and took off her shoes and
stockings, and then washed her bands and
arms uitil tho skin came off, as the loose
skin and pieces of flesh were found in the
wash-pan. Finally, when her clothes were
completely burned from her body, she lay
down on her bed and there met her terrible
death, alone and unattended.

| IMPRISONMENT OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF
the Archbishop Of Paris by tho red ropubli-
caas OF France, the New York Herald OF the
30th uit. has this to say:
1t appears that the Archbishop of Paris,
he'd In prison by the reds, was in danger of
being sacrificed to the bloody spirit of the
| commune, when Prince Bismarck through
General Fabric notified the commune, that
| if any further indignities wers committed
| upon the archbishop. the German army still

in the cause of civilization would 60 into
Paris and make short work of the commune.
In response to this broad hint from Prince
Bismarck General Cluseret says be will pro-

op of Paris and other ecclesiastics now in
prison. Thus it will be seen that Cuserst
| is more of the knave than the fool, and that
the hint Of Bismarck brings him down. Ia
this view it is a fortunate thing for the cause
OF civilization in Paris that the German army
remains on guard there just outside of the
northern wall. But what story for poor
Paris the capi tai Of the civilized world.
The blasphemy of the Paris commune as
far as developed. is fully up to the standard
of the God-deiyiug Jacobins of 1898. Some
days ago chief of the commune spoke Of

| cious parties 'worshipping a person they
call God" and now it appears that the Ja>

MURDER NORTH AND SoUTH-HoD. Sha-
ron Tyudale. late Secretary Of State of Ilii-
nois, was murdered in cold blood while
walking from his residence to the railroad
depot. This is certainly fearful tragedy.
and vet we have 30 comments upon il by
the Republican journals. All that is said
of this cold blooded outrage is contained in
the telegraphic dispatches. Now, let us
suppose that an ex-secretary OF State had
been murdered in any of the Southern States,
what would have been the result The col
umns Of these journals would have teemed
with denunciations of the ku klux, and the
vengeance of the Federal Government have
been invoked. Language would have failed
to express their detestatiCn Of the deed. 1t

evidence of the lawlessness of the South
But occurring as it did in a Northern State,
! at the capital of which nearly as many MUIR
dsrs and outrages are committed as in the
entire South, it fails to elicit more than pass
ing mention. Circumstances nlter cases.
Last week respectable merchant was
murdered in the streets Of New York, with
out even the temptation OF pecunlary gain
to the murderer. 1t Was most dsstardly,
unprovoked affair; and yet we hear OF nc
cass for the interference of the Fedesal Gov

week passes in which some one is not tried
for murder; and yet the journals that

WHAT DoEs IT MATTER ?-The people of
Arizona recently applied to Gen. Sherman
to send more troops into that territory to
protect them against the Apaches. These
savages appear to be moro ferocious than
ever, and massaerss Of whites constantly
occur. Gen. Sherman repliedi that Con
gress had 80 diversified the uses of the army
and increased the necessity for it. while re-
ducing it's capacity, that he had no more
troops to send to Arizona. All that could
be spared must be sent to the South"
The troops are to be sent South to carry
out the Hu-Klux Force bill and to put down
insurrection and rebellion where none exists,
except the universal political insurrection
against Grants administration. This is to
be suppressed by securing delegations in
favor Of Grant to the Republican National
Convention. and by securing for him the
Electors of these States in 1872. although
the majority of their people are against
him. If this can be done, what matters il:
whether or not a few thousand people. more
or less. are murdered and scalped in Arzo-
ma An Y. Sun.

THE present Legislature has been in ses-

the usual time. The members receive a sal
ary for the session Of 81 900 and mileage
This is enough in all conscience. even though
the session should be prolonged until the
irst Of June, as it is likely to be. 1t seems,
however. that like the Unsuitable horse leech ,

Harrisburg Telegraph. has made complete
retraciion, over hi own signature, of all the
charges against Judge Black, which appear

Objectionable articles, were inserted without

VIZ were mistaken, as was the press gen.
orally, when We stated that the bill restoring
the Spring Elections had passed both branch
es of the Legislature. 1t seems that after
the bill passed the House and went to the
Senate, certain amendments were offered to
it (of course by an enemy to the bilD and
adopted. applicable to Luzsrne county. The
House refused to concur in the amendments,
and the bill was handed over to the tender
mercies of conference, where 1t still rem a ins
with but slim prospect of an agreement on
the disputed points. 1t is as wonderful as
it is disgraceful that tho Legislature will
second time, IN defiance ef the almost unan-
imous wish of the people. refuse to pass this
bill, pure and simple and entirely disconnect-
ed with any debateable or conflicting propo-
sitions. The Senate had no kind of Difficult
ty in passing, after few hours debate, a
bill of such magnitude as the border claim
project, involving the trifiing sum of almost
three millions Of dollars. but it could not pass
a meritorious law. like the Spring Electio ion
bill, without encumbering it with ebjectiona-
ble am endment,, which in all probability
will defeat it. This is sample of legisla-
tion, straining at a gnGt and swallowing a
camel.

IT will be seen from the proceedings Of
the County Committee, published elsewhere,
that the election for delegates to the next
comfy convention will take place on Satur-
day, the;22d of July, and that the conven-
tion will be held on the following Monday.
The action of the committee. on this subject
was wise and judicious. Heretofore. with
the exception of last year. for which there
was a good reason. the convention has been
held SO early that the smoke Of the previous
fall campaign had scarcely passed away
bsfore the different aspirants for Office com
menced the contest for the coming year.
This was punishment which the people
could not we'll bear. There will be two
months and.a half Of time between the meet

make his calling and election sure. The

common sense view of local disorders in the
South, and would scorn to be the mere echo
of such immaculate patriots as Morton Cam
eron, Edmunds and Scott. In these remarks
of General Sherman ne administers stern
rebuke to the Radicals in Congress who
passed the Infamous and unconstitutional ku
Klux bill, and takes distinct issue with
Grant, who, at the dictation Of set of reck-
le,s demagogues, recommended it. In all
the essential qualities of statesmanship, Sher-
man is to Grant as Hyperion to Satyr.

Don PIATT, in his new paper. The Capital,
draws the following rough but truthful por-
trait of Ben Butler. Piatt has closely watch
ell Buffers career. and is therefore a most
competent judge:
"We hold Butler to be the wick eldest dema
goguge let loose upon this country since its
Independence. His instincts treacherous
revolutionary. merciless and avaricous. That
he is able to lead any considerable number OF
congressman is satisfactory that Republican
politics is in great part debauched. That he
influences President Grant is not only ma
tional but human calamity. With the final
downfall of free government, such causes us
his character must be conspicuous Rapacisy

The friend was very much embar-

man walked off. At the appointed
time Jedediah went to the depot, but

next day, but in vain. The nice man
did not come.
