Pass HIM ARoUSD.-The facts here
with appended are derived from re-
sponsible source, and an anxiety to pre-
vent the other communities from being
imposed upon, induces US to give pub
licity to this statement. One T. Cary
Cole married lady of high respectable
ty in this County, and afterwards de-
camped from this section, leaving his
family without protection. He went to
Florida, ard there married another lady.
When the facts became known, he was
indicted for bigany and lodged in Jail.
The proof was abundant to secure his
conviction, but he made his escape on
the 23d day of Nay last from the Jail Of
Columbia County, Fla, and has not been
heard from since. He is about forty-fve
years old, Eve feet ten inches, weighs
about 165 pounds, has blue eyes, coarse
anburn hair, with a beard nearer red
than any other color, and possesses q
mean countenance, according to our in
formation. He is very religious, and
claims to be q Hard-Shell Baptist
preacher.

Tho Fruit OF the EVIL Seed Sown 4
North CaroIina-Tho Black Cloud 4

Tho Fruit or tho EVIL Seed sown In
North Carolina-Tho Black Cloud In
the South. 81 -voe.s b, ,leaosa ea.s
The seed sown by Secretary Boutwell, and
those who have united with him in the at
tempt to, excite, the passions and hatreds of
the negroes Of North Carolina against the
whites begins already to bring forth it's legit-
innate fruit. Yesterday there was political
meeting at Charlotte, in that State, called by
the supporters of the democratic ticket and
addressed by Senator Schurz. In the course
Of the proceedings a black fringe Of angry
negroes gathered on the edge Of the meeting,
and one Of the blacks, notorious republican
ing and shooting. He left, apparently to
carry these threats into execution, and soon
afterwards an alarm was raised, and it was
discovered that building had been set on
fire with the design, it is believed, of destroy
ing the city. The matter is now undergoing
investigation. aF aa. uaivr
We are not disposed to exaggerate this Incl
dent of the campaign. We leave all the en-
bellishments and political fourishes to be
made over the outrage Of republican negroes
upon a conservative meeting to the Greeley
journals, which will, no doubt seize the
opportunity with avidity. If the black rascals
who set fire to the roof of wooden building
really desired to burn down the city they
showed themselves to be bunglers at the work
of incendiarism, just as, by proclaiming
their intentions, they proved themselves to be
novices in crime. But because the ignorance
of the negroes made the affair absurd, it is
not the less startling as an evidence of the
evils to which the teachings Of Boutwell, and
his associates promise to lead. The
blacks, with arson and murder in their
hearts, with their worst passions aroused by
the assurances of their republican teachers that
the white citizens of the South will enslave
them again or strip them of their civil rights
whenever they get the opportunity, can readily
be moved to any act of violence, and will not
long lack system and leadership to make their
outbreaks effective. There can be but one
ending to the effort to induce these ignorant
negro crowds to believe that the whites are
their natural and mortal enemies. and it is
foreshadowed in this Charlotte incident. It
must be peace or war between the black and
white citizens of the Southern States, and
Boutwell, and his friends are doing their best
to make it war.

Tho Gencva Arbitration Tribunal-Re-
ported Judgments or the Court.
Cable dispatches which We print this morn
ing inform us of the progress which is being
made in the work of arbitration by the Geneva
Tribunal. The Swiss Times of yesterday,
giving particulars of the proceedings Of the
Board of Arbitration, says:--The Board has
disallowed the claims of the American govern
ment arising out of the depredations of certain
smaller Confederate cruisers, among which are
such names as the Boston, the JEFF Davis and
the Music In SO far as those vessels are con-
cerned the Board has decided that charges of
negligence on the part of the British govern
ment have not been proved, and consequently
the claims have been disallowed. In the
matter of the Florida, according to the same
authority, the Court has decided in favor of the
United States, the Court being of opinion that
sufficient precaution was not used by the
British government to prevent the departure of
that vessel from British ports. The hndepaa-
dence Beige gives US a most interesting piece of
information when it info rms us that the awards
of the Tribunal in the cases of the Florida and
the Alabama win together amount TO one
million five hundred thousand pounds sterling,
or seven million Ave hundred thousand
dollars. 1t is understood that the
Alabama case is now under discussion. 1t is
not our desire to say anything which might
seem to PREJUDICE the action Of the Geneva
Tribunal In ruling out the claims arising
from the depredations of the vessels whose
names we have given above, we are willing to
believe that the Court acted up to the best of
its judgment, and we have no doubt that the
reasons for so deciding will, when made pub
lie, be found to be perfectly satisfactory. We
are pleased to learn that in the matter of the
Florida the judgment has been given in our
favor. We have no doubt that similar judg-
ment will be arrived at in the case Of the Ala
bama. There is every reason to fear, how
ever, that the damages awarded will be small,
80 small, indeed, that when the work of the
Geneva Tribunal is ended we may not be
without reason for pronouncing the entire
Washington Treaty o mockery and sham.
It is not yet time, however, to pronounce
judgment. II WILDE source Of lasting regret,
if, when the work Of the Geneva arbitrators
is done, the bad feeling engendered by Eng
lands conduct during our late civil war still

French Loan-Prcsident Thierse Trou
bles and Triumphs.

Extraordinary Success OF the New
French Loan-President Thiers' Trou-
bles and Triumphs. ~
y The new French loan was placed upon the
public market on Sunday, and on the close
of the day the full amount had been taken up
and the subscription books were closed. Six
or seven times the amount called for was
offered. It is said that the lions share Of the
loan has been taken up by the Berlin bankers.
It is a fresh triumph for NJ Theirs.
No man in modern times has acquitted him
self so well in circumstances of exceptional
difficulty as has President Theirs. When he
assumed the reins Of government it did seem
as if France was utterly and hopelessly ruined.
Nothing daunted by present facts or by future
prospects, M. Theirs took q firm hold, and,
in spite of some shortcomings, he has guided
France so skilfully and with so much success
that the French nation to-day is not more
wonder to the outside world than it is to itself.
No nation under misfortune, in the whole his
tory of the world, ever bore itself 50 grandly.
President Theirs has, no doubt, heavy
task still on hand, and at his advanced period
of life-he is now in his seventy fifth year--it
is difficult to see how he is to find strength to
bear the burden and to finish the work Presi-
dent Theirs, however, has the will, and in his
case, as in the case of SO many who have gone
before him, it may be found that, the viii being
present. the way is not wanting. Praise,
however, is due, not to the President
alone, but to the whole French peo-
pie. Look at the situation OF to-day

Our Holiday and Sunday Excursions
, The Reforms Needed.

Our Holiday and Sunday Excursions
The Reforms Needed.
It would be difficult to over-estimate the i'm
portance of the holiday excursion to the
industrious toilers of our great city. The
breath of the pure air which they inhale re-
freshes and reinvigorates their frames, while
the innocent associations of the country give
healthier tone to their spiritual being. Life
in this close, crowded city in the warm sum-
mer time would be almost unbearable were it
not for the few glimpses of the pleasant woods
and the enjoyment of the cool breeze on bay
or river which the holiday excursion allows
the people to enjoy. 1t is, therefore, of the
first importance that whatever may be calcu-
lated to interfere with the popularity of these
health giving trips should be at once removed.
Unfortunately the manner in which the ma
jority of excursions are organized gives an OPP
portunity for abuses to creep in. The chief
difficulty to be solved in relation to picnics
and excursions is the exclusion of the class of
roughs who intrude their unwelcome presence
in all assemblages of pleasure. The difficulty
could in some sort be obviated by using greater
care in the sale of tickets and the adoption of
precautions against the admission of par
ties not supplied with the necessary
authorization. 1t frequently happens that
party of respectable people are suddenly in
vaded by rowdies, who insult the ladies and
assault the men if they are not allowed to have
full swing. An example Of this kind occurred
last Sunday, on one Of the Hudson excursions,
which terminated in severe struggle. For
tunately, the rufians punished each other
heavily, and were then dealt with in sum-
mary manner by the respectable people on
board, who wese forced to take action in self.
defence. The incident is by no means an un-
common one, though we regret to say the
decent people are oftenest the sufferers.
Great difficulty exists in dealing with this
nuisance on account Of the demands made on
the inadequate police force At present the
number Of men is barely sufficient to make
decent show of patrolling the streets, and it is
absolutely impossible to detail officers to pro-
tect the citizens during these excursions. lis
certainly great hardship that the industrious
tradesnan, who takes his family out for holt
day, must do so with the knowledge that he
places himself out of the protection of the law
just at the moment when he has most need to
enjoy oil the security it can give. Under or
binary circumstances the workingman is able
to take care of himself, but in the midst
of his family he is obliged to suffer insult
and often outrage at the hands of
blackguards from the dread of exposing
some weaker member of his family to the vio-
lence of ruffians This is grievance felt by
the workingmen of the city, and one which
it is the interest of all classes to abate In
view of the enforcement Of the Sunday Liquor

TIE SITUATION IN MEXICO HERALD spe-
cial telegram from Matamoros, which we pub
iish to-day, describes the situation as it pre-
vailed in that portion of Mexico yesterday, and
generally throughout the republic at very
late moment. General Rocha levied a forced
loan of eighty thousand dollars against the
merchants of Monterey. His plan for raising
the cash is likely to have the effect of compli-
eating the tariff and customs imposts system
to very unfavorable extent The averaging
of the customs dues, with very uncertain
mode of collection of the amounts by the ma
honal officials, appear indeed to constitute two
Of the most prominent and most demoralizing
difficulties with which the Mexicans have to
contend. The country was, generally speak
ing, quieting down, politically, under the effect
of the act of peaceful acceptance of the success
sion of Lerdo de Tejada to the supreme execu-
tive authority after Juarez.

Finance. TO raise a loan of seven hundred mil
lions of dollars. the largest sum. we believe,
ever asked for in single transaction. This
loan is to be made on the Napoleonic, not on
the Pitt principle-that is to say all Frenchmen
are invited to subscribe So eager were the
people to respond to the invitation that the
first instalment of one hundred millions of
dollars was taken up at once 1t is not at
all impossible. although to many it may APP
pear incredible, that the whole of this vast
sum may be paid up within the year. In that
case the Germans will be out of France before
next Midsummer Day What France has done
and is doing reveals, like our own late civil
war, the enormous wealth of modern times.
In four years we raised two thousand five hum
dred millions of dollars. In two years the
Italians raised upwards of five hundred mil
lions of dollars. What Jules Favre said some
time ago seems, after all, not beyond the
truth-that France. by Q convulsive effort,
could raise four times the money now de-
manded.
We are rejoiced to know that France is
doing 80 we'll We believe we express the
sentiments Of the more intelligent portion Of
mankind when we say that the rapid recovery
of France is q source Of universal eradication.
In spite of her folly and her sin there is
place for France in Europe; andit will be we'll
for the French people themselves. and well for
mankind generally II, when that place has
been regained, it is honored, not disgraced.
His success in the matter of the Tariff bill
shows that President Theirs is really master
Of the situation, and that the Assembly is
afraid to break with the Chief Of the State.
Things being as they are, the French people
cannot do better than continue to repose their
confidence in President Theirs.

Tho Shooting OF Alderman McMullin
In Philadelphia.

The Shooting or Aldermen Mcmullln
In Philadelphia.
We publish to-day a communication from q
citizen Of Philadelphia vindicating the charac-
ter of Alderman McMullin, who was recently
shot by rufaan in that city. The writer thinks
that the remarks Of the HHRA1D on the
occasion of the brutal attempt at assassina-
ton did injustice to its victim, in identifying
him with the class of roughs to which his
assailant belonged. Our remarks were intended
to be general, and we regret they should bear
any construction that would seem unjust or
unkind TO the object Of the cowardly and felo-
NOUS assault. The HEnAID knows how
to appreciate the men whose energy
and courage carry them successfully
through the hard battle of life. We can readily
understand how politician who seems to cast
his fortunes with the rough elements of city
may, if so disposed, control them for the
public good. There are politicians in this
city who have shown their disposition and
ability to do this, and we have no doubt that
Alderman McMullin in this direction deserves
the credit given to him by our correspondent.
At all events, the attempted assassination was
a cold-blooded and brutal crime and the indig-
nation It has excited in the city where it oc-
CURED proves that the intended victim has
many warm friends among his fellow citizens,
who ought to be the best judges of his charac-
ter. It is to be hoped that his life may be
spared and that his would-be murderer may be
brought to justice.
