A Baltimore Fisbcrman's EncOun-
ter with n shark.

On Sunday morning while party of
fishermen were hauling seine in Chester
river, just opposite the mouth of Graysinn's
creek, they saw a number of monstrous
fish in the seine, and at once started toward
the shore to secure them. On nearing the
land they encountered so much seaweed
that they could not land the net, and as the
water where they were was only about
waist deep, two of the party, James Green
and James Mccain, both of Baltimore.
jumped overheard and began taking up the
seine, while the rest of the party pulled it
into the yawl. Nearly one-half of the
seine had been taken in when suddenly the
water was dashed to a foam by what seemed
to be a school of monstrous fish The men
grew excited, and Green waded out for the
purpose of holding the net down to the
bottom. just AS he took hold of it, his
leg was seized by shark and he was
dragged under the water, and terrible
struggle ens'ed between the man and
the shark Green's companions were so
frightened that they stood still for some
time and gazed with horror at the terrible

This reused his friends and they went to
his assistance, when the shark retreated
further into the depths of the seine. Green
was taken into the boat insensible, and re-
NAMED so for some time. The shark had
caught the calf of his left leg and COM
pletely stripped the flesh from the bones
from above the knee down to his foot. He
was bleeding profusely from several of the
larger arteries that had been severed. Mr.
Mccain knew enough about surgery to

death. The wounded man was removed to
the lnfrmary, where his leg was amputated.
1t seems that the fishing party had sur

more than one of the savage creatures in
the net The fishermen succeeded in kill

was soberly assured by eminent poll
ticians, that If colored persons were allow
ed to vote there would be massacre at
the polls. Then, again, colorcd testimony
was deprecated, while 1t was insisted that
the street cars would be ruined If opened
to colored persons. But all these changes
demanded by simple justice have been in
every way beneticient Nobody would re-
verse them now. Who would establish
slavery again I? Who would drive colored
citizens from the polls ? Who would ex-
clude him from the court room? Who
would shut him from the street cars? And
now the old objections are revived and
made to do service again, in order to defeat
effort for the common schools, being
schools founded on the very principle Of
equal rights recognized in the elective fran
chise, in the court room and in the street
car. If this principle is just for all the
latter, and nobody says the contrary now,
why hesitate to apply it to education
How often are we enjoined to train the
child in the way he should go. Why, then,
compel him in those tender years to bear
the ban of exclusion Why, at that early
period, WREN impressions are received for
life, impose upon him badge of inferior
ity?
He is to be "A man, therefore he must be
trained to that self-respect without which
there can be no true manhood. But this
can be only by removing all ban of exclu-
sion and every badge ofinferiority by color.
AS the old objections are waived, so again
do present the great TRUTH announced by
our fathers in the Declaration of Indepen-
dencc, that all men were created equal.
Admitting the principle as rule of conduct
the separation of children in the public
schools on account of color is absolutely
indefensiblc. In abolishing it we simply
bring our schools into conformity with the
requirements of the declaration To the
objection that tins change will niure the
schools, reply, this is contrary to expc-
rience in other places where the comming-
ling of children according to the genius of
republican institutions has been found
excellent in influence; and | further
reply by insisting now, as | always
do, upon that justice to an oppressed
race which has been too long delayed, and
which never fails to be wellspring of
strength and happiness, blessing all who
help it and all who receive it. Feeling as
do on this question, you will understand
that | cannot see, without regret, any op.

We have startling news from France il
IL is true, which hardly seems probable.
There, certainly, would he no question in
reference to its sensational and entirely I'M
reliable nature, IL 1t concerned any other
country than France. The purport of the
matter, as IT comes to us by the cable, is
that, at the end of six months, General
MacMahon will retire from the presidency
and assume the chief command of the
army. The object of this movement is
that conspiracy, for the overthrow of the
republic may be carried out and the mon
archy restored. General MacMahon is
popular with the army and possesses, it is
said. an almost unbounded influence over
them, and as revolution could not be
easily achieved without their aid, or in the
face of their united and determined
opposition when commanded by able of
ficers. it is deemed almost sine qua non,
for the success of the conspiracy, that Mac
Mahon should be in command when the
blow is struck That there sand has been
for long time, a conspiracy on foot for
the purpose of providing monarchal gov
eminent for France has been apparent to
all, and it was claimed, with some show of
reason, that MacMahons election to the
presidency was part of the plan. This
conspiracy has been known and understood
by the republican leaders, and measures
have been taken by them to thwart its con-
summation. One of their movements has
been the appointment of Il vigilance COM
mittcc," which is to hold meeting after
each meeting of the permanent committee
of the assembly, held during the recess of
that body. This permanent committee,
during recess of the assembly, is consid-
cred a representative of the majority, and
is measurably entrusted with its powers in
carrying on the administration of the gov
eminent, and it is, undoubtedly, through
them that the royalists expect to accom-
plish their comp a. etat. The republicans,
however, are forewarncd, and if their Wig
lance committee docs what is expected of
it, the conspiracy can be brought to naught,
always providing that the majority of the
people of France are DESTROYS of rcpubli-
can form of government. There is another
danger which must not be overlooked.
The monarchial party have settled all their
differences and arc temporarily united,
while the republicans are split up into fac
tons, each one caring, apparently, only fol
the success of its own policy. 1t is true
that the Bourbons, Oreanists and Bona
partists caunot long maintain their union,
but this is of importance only as it con-
Germs the future peace of France Thor
union VIII rcIIiaIIi compact until the sue
cess or defeat of their conspiracy is deter
mined. If MacMahon is really in the plot,
nothing but the most determined and united
efforts of the republicans can save France.

A BOY Tortured for Refusing 10 Lie.

A horrible outrage was perpetrated in
Linn township, Warren county, Iowa. on
Sunday, on a boy about fourteen years old,
by two men named McKissick and Hart.
The boy, who was living at McKissick's,
was accused by them of robbing two men
who slept in the room with him. The boy
denied the guilt, and threats failed to extort
confession. The two brutes whipped
him numerically, and again until Monday
night, when the boy was taken to well
some ten feet deep, with about five feet of
water in it, and with a rope around his
neck he was lowered repeatedly, head fore
most, into the water until nearly drowned
The same night he was taken up stairs in
McKissick's house by McKissick and Hart
and there laid on his face on the floor His
feet were bound with rope passed over
the rafters so as to draw his feet some
twenty inches from the floor. His hands
were bound behind him and drawn up in
the same way to about the same elevation,
and his head !ashed to a bed-post by a cord
from his neck. In this condition he was
left until 10 o'clock Tuesday, when some
neighbors discovered and released him from
his painful position more dead than alive.
The boy had neither food nor water, save
when ducked in the well, from Sunday
evening until Tuesday noon. McKissick
and Hart, who are both men of property,
were arrested, and Wednesday held to an
swer for assault with intent to infict bodily
injury, and also served with notice in a
civil suit for $4,000 damages.

LETTER FROM SENATOR SUMNER.

Senator Sumner, Tuesday, addressed the
following letter in reply to note of con-
graduation and gratitude, recently received
from "the leading colored men" of the
District of Columbia
WASHINGTON, July 80
GENTLEMEN | am honored by your
communication of July 90, in which, after
cOngratulating me upon my returning
health and expressing your sincere hopes
that may resume my labors in the Senate,
there to take up again the cause of equal
rights, you mention that the colored citi-
zens of Washington are now engaged in
agitating what you properly call "a COM
mon school system for all children" de-
sire to thank you for the good will to my
self which your communication exhibits,
and for your hopes that may again in the
Senate take up the cause of equal rights.
Health itself is valuable only as it enables
us to perform the duties of life, and l
know no present duty more commanding
than that to which you refer. l confess Il
true pleasure in learning that the colored
people are at last rising to take the good
cause into their own hands, because
through them its triumph is certain but
sist and labor; then labor and insist again. "
Only in this can indifference, which is worse
than stubbornness of opposition, be over
come. The open foe can be met. 1t is
hard to deal with that dullness which feels
no throb at the thought of opening to all
complete equality in the pursuit of happi-
ness Permit me to remind you, gentle
men, that living at the national capital you
have a peculiar responsibility. In the war
fare for equal rights you are the advance
guards sometimes the forlorn hope. You
are animated to move forward not only for
your own immediate good but because
through you the whole colored population
of the country will be benefited What lis
secured for you will be secured for all,
while if you fail there is small hope else
where. Do not forget (and for this thought
arouse to increased exertion) that your tri-
umph will rebound to the good of all. The
District of Columbia is the place where all
the great reforms born of the war have be-
gun. 1t is the experiment garden and nur-
sery. where all generous plants have been
tried. Emancipation, colored suffrage, the
right of colorcd persons to testify and their
right to ride in the street cars,-all these
began here, and remember how well they
were all encountered On the abolition of
slavery we were solemnly warned that riot,
confusion and chaos would ensue Eman-

SENATOR SUMMERS LETTER.

The colored citizens of the District of
Columbia, or, to speak more properly, of
Washington, are agitating "a common
school system for all Children What is
meant by this expression is, a common
school system, whereby schools shall be es-
tablished by law, supported at the public
expense, and which children of every race,
color and condition shall be permitted to
attend, without let or hindrance or. in
other words, schools in which children of
every color, race and condition shall be
upon an equality. This movement, at pres
ent, is confined entirely to the city of
Washington, but it is the intention, of
course, that it shall be extended to. and
adopted by. every state in the Union. The
public schools of Vermont have always been
open to children of every race, class, con-
dition and color. There has been no dis
tinction whatever made, unless it may have
happened that some over fastidious teacher
has ''put on airs" and, while obeying the
letter of the law, has disregarded its
spirit by his treatment of his pupils,
thereby creating distinction between
children on account of race or color.
This will, probably, always be the case
everywhere, and it is matter which the
law cannot regulate. Nearly every north
ern state in the Union has, in like manner,
thrown open the doors of its schools for the
free education of all children without any
distinction whatsoever. In SO doing, they
have but obeyed the spirit, if not the letter
of the constitution as expressed in the four
teenth amendment. Indeed, we do not SEE
how state can ''deny to any person" the
right to attend such public school as they
please, unless the same right is denied to
every person residing in the same district
or locality. A state has the right ant
power, of course, to divide its territory into
school districts, and prescribe the age a
which person shall cease to be educated
at the public expense, but every person
within the territory, called school dis
trict, and every person within the limita
tation as to age, has an equal right to a FREE
educption, no matter what may be hi
color, race or condition. The state car
say that an individual shall not be educated
at the expense of the public outside of thu
specified limits or after he shall arrive at 1
certain age, but the exclusion must apply
to all.
AS we have said, 1t is doubtless the inten
ton OF the persons engaged in this move
ment that 1t shall extend to and be adopted
by the southern states, without particular
reference to the north, as the system is now
generally in vogue here. Under the clause
of the constitution referred to, the right OF

The Secretary of the Treasury does not
take the same view of the word "competi-
ton as the Postmaster General. He has
issued an official circular, constituting the
appropriation for official postage to be a
money appropriation declaring that the
postoffice department stands in the same
relation as private person in competition
with other common carriers for the bust
ness of the treasury department and in
structing all the officers of the department
to employ express companies, or other
modes of transportation, where their charg-
es are less that the rate of postage. This
is sensible, and it is understood that the
other departments will take the same
course.

murder was committed by the band, and
that 1t was treacherously done, under the
guisc of friendship, but each one proclaim
ed his own innocence and integrity, while
swearing to the murdcrous acts of others.
But II is all over, or will soon be. The
participators in the tragedy have ALL with
the exception of those who proved them
selves doubly traitors, been found guilty
and sentenced to be shot. A formal ap-
proval of this sentence is awaited from
Washington, and when ii is received, as it
will be, the last shot will I've fired for Cap

We were laboring under the impression
that slavery was abolished in the United
States, but it seems otherwise. Telcgraphic
advices from San Francisco state that TWEEN
ty-two Chinese females were sold at auc-
ton in that city, Tuesday, the young girls
bringing four hundred and fifty dollars
each, while the middle-aged and old women
ranged from only one hundred to two hun
dred dollars each. Don't let us boast much
about the abolition of slavery, equal rights,
etc, until this kind of practice is stopped.
Here is a matter for the administration to
look after without delay. There is some
thing, too, terribly suggestive in the prices.
What can we hope of country which, at
this day, will permit open public transac-
tions like this, without word of protest
from any one in authority?

A DUEL WITH RApIERS.
An Hours Combat.

Desire Aubin, says the Scranton, Penn,
Republican, is the name of Frenchman
who has worked for some time as ma
chinst at the railroad shops in Kings
ton He formerly lived in New York, but
lately removed to Kingst on on account
of trouble he had with several persons.
Aubn's enemies hunted him until they
found his whereabouts. A challenge to
settle an affair of honor was extended to
him and accepted with the usual formali-
ties, and on Monday Aubin went to Scran-
ton, taking with him the weapons to be
used-two rapiers-the selection of which
had been decided by tossing of the coin
On Tuesday morning last at o'clock
the principals with their seconds, all being
Frenchmen met in Dana's Grove, near
Wilkesbarre. The civilties of the affairs
of this character were exchanged the
weapons were crossed, and for more than
an hour the struggle continued, both parties
exhibiting mastery skill in the use of the
rapier. At length the lack of practice of
late on his part began to show that Aubn
was hardly equal to his adversary, and he
failed at last to ward off thrust, and the
weapon entered his person to the extent of
an inch. The struggle continued, howev-
for five minutes, thrusts were skilfuly
made and as skiliuly warded off, until
finally fiercer one was made and he fail
ed to check it, and the point of his advcr-
sary's weapon struck Aubin's right side. A
quick movement of his body prevented its
entering his person to any depth, hut it fol-
lowed rib for some six inches making a
quite severe though not serious wound
This ended the struggle.
Good feeling towards each other was ex-
pressed by the princpals, hands were shak-
en-, and Aubin partook of cognac offered
by his antagonist. 1t was arranged that
the affair should he concluded at time
when Aubin's wounds would permit and
the victor returned to New York by the
first train. Aubin went to Kingston where
he settled up his affairs and took later
train for New York, where he now lies in
a hospital.
