SowNG THE SEEDS OF DIsooRD Down
SoUTH.-A black lecturer has been address
ing the colored people in Mobile, and, accord
ing to the Tribune of that city, stirring up
their bad passions against the whites. II is
alleged that this lecturer is an emissary from
the radicals in the North, who, by melting
disturbances between the whites and negroes,
hope to make political capital for use In the
next Presidential campaign. If that be the
case the operation Is likely to rebound to the
injury Of the colored race and prove damag-
Ing to the repablican party. There should be
some means Of stopping this practice Of STIR
ring up bitter blood between the whites and
blacks just about election times. Its fruits
are being seen In the recent Ku Klux raids In
Arkansas and Texas, sad have already
attracted the attention Of the local az we'll az
national authorities.

Che civilized world by the same outlet from
that when our traveller reaches Ujiji he will
learn that DR.. Livingstons has gone north
ward to join an expedition that had come up
to that other big lake from Egypt We refer
10 the splendidly equipped army expedition
sent up the Nile a year or mora since, by
Tsmael Pacha, under that king OF African ex-
plorers, Sir Samuel Baker, to annex the
whole valley of the Nile, including its great
lakes, to the viceroyaIty of Egypt. We have
a report that Sir Samuel was shot in mutiny
Of his troops on the Upper Nile; but we think
it fiction of the Arabs. He may have
finished his upward journey and may have
been at Lake Albert N'Yanza in time not only
to rescue DIR. Livingstone by an expedition
sent to hunt him up, but we hope that Sir
Samuel was still within striking distance OF
our African traveller from Ujiji. Should this
theory be confirmed, especially in reference
to the outlet Of Tangauyika Lake, the enter
prise of the NEW York HERALD in this
African expedition will be associated, in the
solution Of the mysteries Of the Nile, with the
names Of Bruce and Speke and Grant, and Of
Baker and Benton and Livingstone. In any
event. we may without vain boasting, claim
that our example in this African adventure
can hardly fail to give new impulse 10 suoh
enterprises in that vast and interesting Cont
nent, with its aboanding resources awaiting
the developments of civilization.
|. The British government, in our Judgment,
has been too slow and too penurious In its
feeble attempts in behalf of DIR. Livingstone
From what our representative in this African
journey has already accomplished with his
small force We are sure that properly
equipped exploring expedition of Ave hundred
men from the British government could
traverse without difficulty the whole breadth
Of Equatorial Africa from sea to sea- and we
are confident that an expedition OF this
character would soon be followed by the active
development Of the boundless resources of
savage Africa, East and West, compared with
which those Of Australia are few and scanty
It may be months before we hear again from
our courageous African traveller, but we are
strong in the hope not only that we shall hear
from him again, but that we shall hear of the
complete success of his great undertaking,
both in regard to Dr. Livingstone and the out
let of Lake Tanganyika. And 30. from year
to year, we gather in the bounteous harvest
of the earth"

Judge Bedford vindicated-A slnnder Re-
futed.

Judge Bedford vindicated-A sInnder Re-
The attack recently made upon Judge Bed
ford, by New York journal professediy an
advocate of municipal reform, has been
made the subject Of inquiry by the
Grand Jury, and has resulted, as every
person who is acquainted with the
official record Of the City Judge supposed it
would, in his thorough and complete vindica-
tion. The Grand Jury say that, ''having, at
the request of Judge Bedford, investigated the
charge made in public newspaper of this
city against him for obtaining 800
in a fraudulent manner from tho
City Treasury, they are of the opinion that
said charge is unjust and unfoundcd, and that
Judge Bedford was justly and equitably enti-
tied TO this amount for extra services rendered
as Assistant District Attorney, from 1864 to
1863"
When these charges were first brought
against judge Bedford he Immediately de-
manded the Investigation that has now been
made, and in bold and manly letter in
vited the closest scrutiny into his Of
fetal conduct. In this respect his
action stood out in striking contrast to that Of
other officials who have been made the object
of newspaper attacks. He had no record
that he desired to conceal from the public,
and he defied the most hostile criticism of his
public career. As a general thing there is
no credit due to q public officer who
does his duty In straightforward, honest
manner; but, unfortunately, official integrity
has of late years been the exception and not
the rule in our municipal government Judge
Bedford is yet young man, but he has filled
Offices OF great trust for seven years, and for
four years has been the leading criminal
Judge of the city. Every person con-
versant with our municipal affairs
knows how important position that is, and
how Intimately it may be connected with the
evil doings of dish onest public officers. 1t is,
therefore, gratifying In these corrupt days to
find that the first and only assault upon the
official purity and integrity Of such man is 50
thoroughly refuted.
1t has been rumored that the uncalled- for
attack upon Judge Bedford by the Custom
House organ was due to the friendly support
he has hitherto received from the HERALD.
We can scarcely credit such report. We
supported Judge Bedford for the position Of
City Judge because we believed in his capacity,
his integrity and his fearless impartiality. His
career has fully justified the opinion we then
formed, and we certainly should uphold him as
strongly as we now do, after our experience
of his official record, had he been the special
candidate of any journal in the city. We
believe that the Grand Jury have
only done their duty in thus fully
vindcatng him from a gratuitous and
.unwarTantable attack. The result OF the In
vestigation will serve to raise Judge Bedford
still higher In the estimation Of the public,
and the citizens OF New York will con gratu-
late themselves that one Of the most impor-
tant judicial positions In the city is filed by so
honest, competent and fearless a man.

We seem to have fallen upon time for q
general exposure Of frauds In the governments
OF the cities, States and nation, and by officials
and agents iu every direction. One of the
latest of these unearthed rascalitles is the
robbery of the Cherokee Indians Of their pen
sions and bounties coming to them from the
United States government, by combination
Of federal officials and others, whose duty it
was to protect these poor people from such
wrong. The Department Of the Interior a p
pointed lately special commission to inves-
tigate these frauds, and the report we pub
lished yesterday, over the signatures of the
special agents sent to the Indian Territory to
make the examination, shows that the Indians
have been shamefully swindled. The
aborigines have been the victims of
unprincipled traders and agents for
long period In our history. Not
half the liberal appropriations, allowance es
and supplies made by the government
for them have been properly applied. Igno-
rant as they are, they have been conscious
frequently of the swinde practised upon
them, and this has been one of the
most fruitful causes of bloody con-
flicts between them and the white settlers
and government. To rob these wards Of the
nation is like robbing orphans. We hope the
government will bring the guilty In these
Cherokee frauds to punishment. We advise
the Quaker philanthropists who have UNDER
taken by authority Of the government to pro-
tect the Indians to look sharp after the agents
aud traders who have too long plundered these
people and have been the cause Of most of
the wars and troubles between the two races.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES subject dilated
upon Sunday by Rev. Mr.. Stevens in the
Presbyterian Church The text from
Luke VII 80, 33, 81, was explained to
show, that however much sectarian spir
it in the church was to be deplored, it
was yet one of the means God had per-
mitted to forward his work upon earth.
The desire each church, or rather sect,
has of exceliing the Others, by getting a
larger number of converts, and by ex-
tending their influence, creates the hu-
man weakness of rivalry. This emula-
ton howeyer,is furtbering the good work,
owing to diversity in the human char
acter the very existence of sects reaches
and draws greater mum Der of people
into the church, than otherwise would
come. Some are reached by austerity,
others by leniency, others again through
the eye or ear, as in the case of the
English or Romish Church. Upon the
whole we think Mr. Stevens view of
the matter is correct, and as he chaerfuly
accepts the great benefits derived from
Masonic, Odd Fellows, Good Templars,
and other kindred associations, it will have
a tendency to create greater desire for
federation and llberality in church mat
tiers or doctrine, than has heretofore pre-
vailed.

A DIRECTOR.

The foregoing is an other striking evil
dence that we, as a community, are far
from what we ought to be. Treasures Of
information and instruction, which can
not but profit any man who seeks for
them, are neglected or entirely ignored,
while sensual qualification is the almost
absorbing aim of the majority of those
who knew better and ought to act far
differently from their present pursuits
Our Library cannot be surpassed in the
excellency of its selections, it is capable
of satisfying any desired informa ton,
and its great advantages and latsing
benefits can be enjoyed almost without
money and without price; but even the
pittance necessary to sustain it can hard
ly be raised, while some fifty saloons are
devouring hundreds and thousands
of our means without any effect but
that of evil for time and for eternity.
Think of these things friends and fellow
citizens and govern yourselves according

her maiden trip to Milwaukee last Sat
urday evening. under Capt. Butiin the
able superintendent of the Goodrich
transportation Company. The steamer
makes a fine appearance, and, from the
way she started off. we should Judge that
she will have as fast boat as any in
that line. We noticed that several of
the Carpenters, Painters etc., were left
behind, and followed the next day on the

New CIGAR SHop.-We had the pleas
ure, one day this week, of being conduct
cd through the. neatly arranged cigar
mandatory Of Mr.. George Wilson in
Glovers brick block, on the corner of
York and Sixth streets. Mr. Wilson
has been in the cigar factory of Mr..
Campbell for the last four years, and is
not TO be excelled in the art of cigar
making. He has now on hand an excel
lent quality of tobacco, which we are
quite positive will make good cigars.
George will certainly do his utmost to
please his customers and increase his
trade. Go and try box of his cigars,
and if you come away dissatisfied, you
certainly cannot be suited with "smok-
ers."

TRIUMPH OF THE PEOPLEs
AID VOTED

The election of Saturday last, after the
hottest canvass eyer known in this city,
resulted in majority ''fCr the Railway
Proposition.
All that money and Misrepresentation
could do to induce the people to tie their
own hands, and leave this locality at the
tender mercy of the one railroad running
through Appleton. was done; and all
the aid that the Doty Island Land
Grant manipulators could render, pecun-
iarlly and personally, to mislead voters
and defeat the true interests of this city,
was openly furnished.
Oyer such combination, the triumph
IS most notable.
A majority of the Water Power inter
est;
A majority of the Manufacturing in
terest;
A majority of the Business houses;
Voted for the Railway Proposition.
Let the facts ba recorded. The reported
majority in the city is IS: the official
canvass is to be made this evening.
Il rousing celebration followed. The
Appleton CorDet Band furnished the
music, the cannon sounded the death
knell to the hopes of the Corruptionists,
the bonfire never burned more brightly,
the speeches were brief aad pointed, and
the exultation marked and almost gen.
eraz
An injunction to prevent the issuance
of the bonds Was obtained by G. E. Nc
Tntosh from his law partner, who quail
fed as Court Commissioner that day
before, and was served early the same
evening It excited much derision, and
will if persisted in rebound upon its pro-
jectors and abettors with cancerous eff
| feet
The future of Appleton is assured
Our business interests will soon feel the
prosperous effects ofrailway competition.
We shall be enabled to choose between
Green Bay, Manitowoc, Sheboygan,
Milwaukee and Chicago for our Lake
Shipping port. Our Water Power will
be more speedily utilized, and the pro-
ducts Of the vast region northwest to

here to be manufactured and thence
scattered to market.

read, which has been, and still is most
numerically assaulted by all the exis-
ting railroad interests of Wisconsin in
general, and Milwaukee and its North
ern project in particular. Our noble
representatives sill come out victorious
as ever, for if the most stubborn and
unprincipled opposition to our Lake Shore
! road is any evidence OF its great value
and incalcuable importance, the monied
men of New York ought to see it and act
accordingly, they ought to be shrewd
enough to give their decision for the
Lake Shore without hesitation and stick

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT,
No. 232 Washington Street,
Chicago. J
The Educational Committee of the
Ladies Christian Union of Chicago, is
organized for the purpose of aiding and
encouraging such young women, either
In the city or country. as desire an edu-
cation, but are SO circumstanced that
without assistance from some source they
are not able to obtain it. Communica
tons have been opened with officers and
teachers of large number of schools,
seminaries, and colleges, who all express
the deepest interest IN the object, and
their readiness to aid in its accomplish
meut This aid will be rendered In re-
duced Or free tuition, and In securing
places in families where young women
can earn their board by their labor out of
school hours, as many are now doing.
The Committee invites correspondence
from all persons interested in the work,
especially FROM officers and teachers in
institutions of learning throughout the
northwest, who are willing to aid it, also
from young women who wish to avail
themselves Of the assistance they seek to
render. This work is not undertaken as
a charity, nor is it the intention Of the
committee to support any person while
pursuing course Of study under the
auspices of the Union, but to place with
in the reach Of such young women as care
for an education, the opportunity to Sc
cure it by their own exertfons.
1t is hoped that, through the liberality
of persons interested in this work, the
committee will soon be in possession of a
leaning. fund, from which small loans can
be made to persons prosecuting course
of study. Moneys loaned will be due one
year after the expiration of the study
course, and if not then paid will bear in.
tercst until paid.
The object and desire of the commit
tee is to stimulate and promote the
greatest usefulness, as well as thorough
culture.
Through the liberality of Hon. W. W,
Farwell, the committee is furnished with
a convenient office at No 232 Washing
ton Street, where all communications re
lating to the Educational department
Of the Ladies' Christian Union" may b,
addressed.
Messrs Judge Farwell, Orringtoi
Lunt, and d. l.. Shorey: have kindl!
consented to act as trustees for the safi
keeping and management of any money
which may be contributed to the loanin.
