THE HERALD ON TOM SCOTT.

The Herald has opened on Tom Scott
as Presidential candidate. 1t says:
The railroad power. Of this country be-
gins to show its hand over broader
field than that Of local or State politics.
Its vast influence has been seen for some
time past in the State Legislature, in
Congress, with the courts Of law, and on
the stock and money markets. Now it
aspires to the Presidency. A leading
journal Of the West dominates the great
railroad king of the country, Thomas A.
Scott, Of Pennsylvania, for that exalted
position. And why not2 Mr.. Scott

number Of the most populous States. He
carries Pennsylvania in his pocket and
holds other States in his grasp. He is a
man Of great administrative ability, and
represents, more than any other. the
mightiest interest in the country. The
Democrats could hardly select a snore
powerful candidate. If the other Demo
cratic railroad magnates, such as Van
derbilt and Gould and Fisk, who control
the New York Central, the Hudson
River, the Harlem, the Erie and other
lines, were TO combine to place the chief

IMPORTANT DECISION.

In the Supreme Court at Knoxville
last Wednesday Judge Sneed delivered
an opinion in case involving the va
lidity Of the act prohibiting intermar-
rage between whites and blacks, con-
Guiding as follows; 1--WE are Of opin-
ion that in the late amendments to the
Constitution Of the United States, and
the laws enacted for their endorsement,
do not interfere with the rights of the
States as enjoyed since the foundation
of the Government, to interdict inn
proper marriages; and that the act Of
1870, oh. 80, which forbids the intermar-
riage of white persons with negroes, mu-
lattoes or persons Of mixed blood, de-
seconded from a negro to the third gem
Grafton inclusive, and their living to-
gether as man and wife in this State, is
a valid and constitutional enactment"
A similar decision was rendered recently
by Judge Erskine, in the United States
District Court at Savannah, Georgia.

WY CAMP WAS DEcAPITATEp.

The Washington Patriot of Wednes-
day says: United States District At
torney Camp, of East Tennessee, ar
rived here yesterday, but not in time to
prevent his removal from office. Camp
was removed at the instance Of Roder-
lex Random Butler, who misrepresents
q Tennessee district in Congress. he
hunted up testimony against Butler a
year ago, when the latter was on trial
for swindling poor widows out of their
pensions, and Butler has never forgiven
him for it. 1t seems to be conceded on
all sides now that Butler escaped just
punishment only because witnesses were
perjured and forged papers were pre-
sented."

At half-past nine o'clock last night
the giving way Of column in the lower

DIR. HALLs EXPEDITIoN.-However much
criticism may be bestowed upon the cruise of
the Polars, news from the northern explorers will
be awaited with some anxiety, and read with no
little interest. On Monday, the United States
ship Congress returned from Greenland, having
made the voyage of $500 miles to Disco, lat. 10
deg, in less than thirteen running days. The
Congress left St. Johns Aug. 3, and anchored at
Disco on the 10th. On the trip she passed
hundreds of immense icebergs, but encountered
no pack ice. AS she advanced day became per-
petual The sun sunk below the horizon but a
short time, and the twilight was sufficient to
read by all night. The displays of the aurora
borealis were extremely grand-meteoTic lights
assuming magnificent arches, columns, scrolls
and spiral stairways. She found the PolariS at
Disco but six days in advance. Capt Hall, with
eight ESquimauX, boarded the Congress mile
from the harbor. Capt. Hall and his men are in
good spirits and sure of success. Some trouble
had arisen between Capt. Hall and his scientific
associates as to the special object of the eXpedi-
ton, which threatened to be serious, but by the
judcious and firm interpostiOn of Capt. Daven-
port, who laid down the naval law and stated
that the paramount object was getting to the
North pole, harmony was restored.
The PolariS sailed August II, in the afternoon,
amid cheers from the Congress. Capt. Hall, in
stead of going via Jones sound, will keep to the
west side of Smiths sound, as there are ice
drifts southwesterly, which delayed Kane's adj
vance, and as the season is over he hopes to get
through this year. The Congress remained
eight days at Disco, and found the regular sum-
mer in Greenland. Disco is the official resi-
dence of Inspector General Smith of North
Greenland, who received the Congress with a
salute Of fifteen guus, when he presented Secre-
tary Robeson's letter, stating the object of his
visit aud soliciting the cooperation of the
Danish authorities with Capt. Halls expedition,
which was cheerfuly accorded. The stores
which the Polaris could not take were left in In
spector General Smiths care at Disco. The
Congress is the largest ship ever in Disco bay
The Esqumaux of Disco live comfortably. The
women wear brooches and high top boots. The
men are industrious. The children attend
school, and all are Lutherans. On Sunday the
inspector and wife, Capt. Hall and crew, and
one hundred Esquimaux in holiday attire, at
tended divine service on board the Congress. DIR.

If the natives of Algeria are slow to learn
other things from their French teachers, they
seem to have adopted one practice with remark
able promptness. A Paris journal reports that
a band of these natives had been seized, who had
in their possession large Quantities of petroleum,
which they were using to stimulate inccndiary
fires. This is unpleasant for the French, who
would prefer in this case that their precept
rather than their example should be followed
Their readiest resource to cure the Algerians of
this bad habit would be to introduce among
them the "non-eXplosive" kind of petroleum,
which would soon exterminate those who used
it, if its effects there were similar to those it
produces in this country when employed to
kindle fires.
