JAMES r. .SPALDING. - It is with
sorrow that we take up the pen to record
the death of this well known journalist
which occurred at Dover n. II. ca Thursday
last, the lOth Mr.. Spalding was brother
of Doct. W. G. Spalding of this city, and
at the time of bis decease was in his SD
year. He was graduate of Vermont Uni
versity and began life in New York by
going on the stat Of one of the great daily
papers eff that metropolis. He soon became
one of the leading editorial writer's on the
Courier, and just previous to the war start ed
the New York World as religious daily
Failing health compelled him to relinquish
charge of the paper, and he subsequently
became connected with the New York Times
as one of its principal editors. Several years
ago, Mr.. Spalding, while travelling in the
South for his health, received severe
stroke of paralysis from the effec is
of which he never recovered, and wEich al
most wholly incapacitated him for mental
labor. Two years ago he made his home
here with his brother for about year, and
many of our citizens doubtless remem Der
him. Mr.. Spalding was an editor OF great
ability, clear vigorous writer, and deep
thinker, and had not his health failed him
would have made an enduring name in his
pr ofesson

The Eufaula ( Ala. Times reports the
proceedings in a Commissioner Court
in the case of number of colored Radi-
Gals, arraigned for threatening and in
timidating persons of their own color on
account of their support of Horace Gree
ley. The testimony is damaging. The
violation of the act was clear and I'M
questionable and the full penalties of the
law will be administered upon the guilty
parties if it is not designed exclusively
for partisan use against the opposers Of
Grant
We have cited this Alabama case as
an example The colored voters must
be protected in their right of free action.
If they are for Grant, they must be con
verted, if converted at all, by argument
and persuasion. If they are for Gree
ley, they must be protected in their posi-
ton at all hazards. This system Of ter
rorism practiced against their race by
colored Ku klux, can be easily broken up
if the example at Eufaula is promptly
followed
