EDITOR BELMONT CHRoNICLE-iSSr
Our eyes are full, our voice is choked,
and from centre tocircumference we are
trembling with emotion. We are too
full to speak and yet anxiety impels us
on. We feel that the country has gone
to ruin, and that we individually are
ABOUT to follow; and the worst feature
in our case and for which we deserve
universal commiseration is that this
wholesale ruin was not brought about
by any action of our own, but by the
Democratic party. A Democratic Leg
islature provided that under specific
circumstances the curly-headed "nig-
ger" should be admitted into the CON-
mon Schools of the State of Ohio, and
now, don't you think, he is accepting
the situation, and has the audacity to
demand admittance with white child
rem! Our grey hairs are being brought
to the grave in sorrow, because OF
"nigger equality" There is a house
linear the toll-gate" in Riehland Tn.
that was built for school purposes for
the "aniggers'' up there, but then your
Board of Education have, decided to
yacate it and the sirrepressible darkey,'
is determined to be educated and re-
fined, because, you know, he can vote
now, and so he knocks at the doors
where respectable educators are en-
gagged, and he is admitted and can not
be ousted. This is thing too terrible
for the grasp of the human mind. Just
think of it for one. e.mOment,--that little
faxen headed brother of yours attend
| ing the same school with little mig.
ger, and that little nigger standing
shoulder to shoulder with him in the
recitation, and perhaps spelling a word
that some iblue-eyed boy had missed.
and then he would be between two
blue-eyed bOys-p-e-wi Something
admonishes US, not to complete the Die,
ture-p-e-w! But in 1864 the black
man stood side by side with the white
man in front of Petersburg and well
coined him there. Something about
his stern face, his brawny arm, his
shining musket, and his cartridge-box
full of dry cartridges made US feel good.
Read the dead list of the third division
of Burnside's corps and it will tell the
rest. But these .'hyenas,'' these
"apes," these ''niggers u can't learn
anything, and yet they seek every
avenue that is open to them for self
improvement. Why didn't you allow
them to Stree themselvesn upon your
respectable teachers for9 is 1t possible
that they are the stronger In your
Township? Their success there will
embolden them in other parts of the
County and they will soon food our
schools and drive all the white children
of and deprive them off an education.
Hark we hear the tramp of the famous
Rappahanock voters now, Oh, what
will become ofour poor children? Let
us mourn. n \.

7 Do DocToRs CARRY DISEASE ?-The
Pittsburgh Leader tells this: A mar.
ried lady living on Congress street was.
last week, confined to her bed with q
child. She had not been out of the
house for several weeks, and there was
nobody in her room but her nurse and
attending physician. She took the
small pOx and on Friday night died
Her infant was also seized with the
malarious disease, and on Saturday
evening followed its mother to the
grave. The nurse had no symptoms
whatever OF having the disease, and
the only hypothesis is that the doctor
bad been attending some small pox
paiegt, that his clothing became in
fected, and that the woman contracted
the disease from his clpthlng. 3g

A correspondent in Brazil gives a
"shivering" description of the kind of
pets they have in that country: He
says it is quite a convenience to have
anacondas in cellars to destroy rats and
mice. People do not generally have
the largest sized snakes for tbatpurpose;
there are only from ten to twenty feet
long, and are seldom seen, as they live
in the walls of the cellars, which are
very little used. They are carried
about the streets, and sold to those who
have lost their pet reptile, or whoever
may chance to need them. Monkeys,
generally of smaller sizes, are kept as
pets In the houses, but to prevent their
mischief they are necessarily chained.
During the prevalence of the yellow
fever, the summer past, the cOntagion
was more fatal to them than to the
families in which they were kept. :

The mprderers of the Park family
Henryville, Indiana, whose arrest We
noticed last week, were taken from the
jail on last Thursday night by mob Of
from fiftyto seventy-five men and car
ried to the woods when they were
lynched.s One of the negroes had been
tortured with fre-brands before he was
hung. Though the murder was a fear
ful one, the evidence against the men
arrested was not sufficient: to warrant
such summary vengeance on the part
ofthe mob. 3Hs Ya7ieb ha a1lt

The arrival of the much dreaded
Cholera upon our shores has done little
more thanto cause our cities to look
more carefully to their sanitary condi-
ton. New York is said to be in very
filthy condition, favorable to the spread
of the disease, but the cooiness OF the
weather will be unfavorabIe to its pro-
gress Westward. The ship-load of i'm
migrants affected with the disease, that
arrived at New York last week have
been sufficiently cared for to insure
some degree of safety from an immedi-
ate outbreak in that city. ~ lI rlrf

The sudden death of Judge Way,
who, last Wednesday morning, was
found dead in the streets of Woodsfeld
was of course a matter of momentary
surprise to US. He had spent the pre-
vious evening in company with Messrs-
Campbell and Clark of this place who
had taken over the Court Journal for
the purpose. of getting his signature
thereto. Not having returned home,
his wife, at three o'clock in the morn
ing, went forth in search of him, but
failed to find him though she passed
within few feet of where he lay.

The final assessment has been put
upon the Warnock Pike taxpayers.
The original estimated cost of building
the road was sl3, $50, but we have rea-
son to believe that this estimate has
been increased. The per cent. levies
for each of the five years were as fol-
lows: First year % per cent; second
year 3d. third year 40; fourth year 80,
and the fifth or last year 150 per cent.
Total 295 per cent of the original esti-
mate. There can be little doubt that
the totalcost of the pike will be over
