feigned surprise. How did

Betsy Short giggled. se
Shocky was so tickled that
he could hardly keep his seat
The boys who were in the
plot looked very serious indeed.
And a little silly.
Ralph made some remarks
by way ofimproving the occa-1
sion. We spoke strongly of the
utter meaLness Of the one who
could play so heartless q trick
ona schoolmate. He SAID that
it was as much thieving 10 get
your fun at the expense of an
other as TO steal his money.
And while he talked all eyes
were turned on Hank. All ex-
cept the eyes Of Mirandy Means.
They looked Simperingly at
Ralph. All the rest looked at
Hank, The fire had made his
face yeryred. Shocky noticed
that. Betsy Short noticed 1t,
and giggled. The master
wound up with an appropriate
quotation from Scripture. He
said that the person who dis
placed that board had better
not be encouraged by the sue
cess-he said success with a GU
rious emphasis--ol the present
experimental 10 attempt another
trick of the kind. For 1t was
set down in the Bible that if a
man dug a pit at the feet OF an
other he would be very likely
to fall in it himself. Which
made all the pupils look col
emn. Except Betsy Short. She
giggled. And Shocky wanted
to. And Mirandy cast an ex-
piring look at Ralph. And If
the teacher was not love-sick,
be certainly was sick of Miriam
dy's love.
When school was dismissed
Ralph gave Hank every eau
ton that he could about taking
cold, and even lent him his
overcoat, very much against
Hanks will. Then the master
walked out in a quiet'and sub
dued way to spend the noon
recess in the woods, while
Shocky watched his retreating
footsteps with loving admira-
ton. And the pupils not in
the secret canvassed the ques-
ton of who moved the board.
Bill Means SAID he'd bet Hank
did it, which set Betsy Short oft
in an uncomfortable giggle.
And Shocky listened inno-

AS for Ralph, he wanted to
die. He had a guilty, feeling
that this speech OF the old la

him beyond recall to Mirandy.
He did not see visions of

he trembled at the thought of

MAJOR ]. ]. SPELMAN."

This gentleman who, when in the
North, was very favorably and gen.
orally known by the title of /" Ma.
jor," has, within a few years past
removed to Mississippi, and, as is
detailed in the extract accompany.
ing this, has carved out for himself
a position of which any young man,
white or colored, might be proud.
From Major he has been promoted
to Colonel" and, as is detailed be-
low, he has thoroughly earned this
distinction. His urbanity, gentle
manliness and ability have won for
him many staunch friends in his
adopted State, and will secure for
him even higher honors. For
"Auld Lang Syne," as well as for
other reasons, we wish our friend
God speed in his noble effort to
assist in restoring the South, under
Freedom, to her influential place in
the councils of the ma, ion:
AFFAIRS IN MIss1ssIpPI.-By late
advices from Mississippi we learn
of the reelection of our old friend
Colonel James j. Spelman, to the
Legislature for q term of two years.
Mr.. Spelman is a native of New
York city, and it is about three
years since he went South; yet so
happily has he identified himself
with the people that he has already
been twice returned to the Legisla-
ture, has held several Offices, under
both State and Federal authorities,
was a member of Governor Alcorn's
staff, with the rank of Lieutenant
Colonel, and was by him promoted
to the Colonelcy of the LIST colored
regiment of State militia. Mr..
Spelman is young man of talent
and executive ability, and while in
New York contributed some valua-
BILE articles to the leading papers Of
that city.
eve believe Colonel Spelman
has a number Of friends in Saratoga
county, and they will join with us
in congratulating him upon the
suspicious career which he has en-
tered. He has bright future be-
fore him, and we have no doubt
that he will, at no very distant day,
take his seat in the halls of Con-
gress. "-BalSton ~ ~ Journal.

fact, the "red hot rebel Legis-
lature ordered a new election,
which has been held. But
the Republicans refuse to have
any part or lot in it for this
reason, and because the Ku-Klux
have obtained such entire control
of large portion of the State that
they could not vote without dan
ger to their lives and property.
The correspondent states that his
section was formerly Ku-Klur
proof, but that these Democratic
assassins have now everything their
own way, and are carrying things
with high hand. He asserts that
unless there is some check put upon
them by the strong arm Of the Ma
tional Government, all the leading
Republicans who yet remain there
will be murdered within the next
twelve months, if they dare attempt
to exercise the freeman's right to
vote. Hancock, Baldwin, Wash
ington, Watkins, and Putnam coun-
ties are wholly controlled by these
murderers, and no mans life is safe
for day. They ride out on their
excursions of rapine and murder
two or three times a week. They
punish by whipping all who refuse
to vote the Democratic ticket, or
force them to leave the State.
Those who fail to obey their orders
are taken out and deliberately shot.
Men sixty years old have recently
been cruelty whipped by these in
fernal wretches, and the constitu-
tional guarantee of protection to life
and property is a perfect farce.
How long is such state of things
to be tolerated, and how long, if not
checked, will Georgia Republicans
continue to risk their lives and pro-
perry for the Government?
