Under the advice Of my. attorneys,
have concluded to make no detailed state
ment in regard to the sbooting afair Of

it. Believing, however, that the public

complished under circumstances Of un-
usual atrocity, wing unparalleled base

circumstances was conveyed to me 10

his friendship. But never regarded
him as friend, aud the public have de-

The Plots to Inclte Negro Riots.
New York World.l

A few weeks ago there was an obscure
paragraph in the personal column Of a
Western paper to the effect that Senator
Morton, Senator Clayton and ex Chief
Justice Mcclure, Of Arkansas, were hold
ing q consultation at the Hot Springs
Then report came from that fashionable
retreat that they were engaged Ia con
coctng a scheme to get up negro riots
throughout the South, so as to influence
the Northern Congressional elections.
However monstrous the charge may at
first appear, when we come to took into
the characters of the alleged conspirators
and the necessities Of the Republican
party in does not seem so improbable
The Republican party is on the eve OF
disastrous defeat There is but one
chance of saving it, and that is by rally.
ing d majority Of the Northern people TO
its support upon the old cry that the
rebel spirit is rampant in the South. and
that the f" wards OF the nation are being
re cnslaved and murdered
What gives color to the supposition
that the present troubles in the South be-
tween the whites and negroes are the re.
suit Of plot, deliberately prepared and
having it's ramilcations all over that Sec
ton, is that they should break out stimuli.
taneously in almost every State. There
is very strong indication OF concert OF
action. The carrying out OF such a
scheme, if carefully arranged beforehand,
would be easy enough Emissaries here
and there would have no difficulty in in
citing the ignorant negroes to acts OF
violence. THIS would naturally provoke
retaliation from the whites, and thus the
circumstances, artfully distorted by tele.
grams, correspondence, private letters,
and the comments Of the Republican
press, could be made to " fire the North
ern heart to a renewed support OF the
Republican candidates for office.
This ruse has been tried repeatedly
before with success. 1t is an old Repub-
lican trick TO influence the elections. The
outrage season comes in annually about
the time the conventions in the Northern
States are assembling to nominate candi.
dates, and It goes out suddenly the day
after the November elections. The ab.
ruptness with which the Southern whites
and blacks subside into amicablc rela-
tions with each other as soon as the ne
cessity of the outrage business ceases, Is
one of the most astonishing features OF
of Southern society. II may bo presumed
that the carpet bag iucendarics, havin.
completed their contracts, leave about
this time for the North to obtana settle
mcnt Of their accounts, and the negroes
are left to meditation and quiet
These plots will not have the desired
effect IL the Northern and Southern peo-
ple are made to know their real origin

minister Of more than ordinary ability,
of considerable culture, having the ora

to pastoral visiting, called upon family,
found the lady ale ne. and
PRAYED WITH HER.
Taking his hat to leave, she extended
her hand, and clasping his arm, trembled
with an emotion that could not be mis-

Now, sir, insist that the pastor should
not be driven by the demands of his
church into service which is certainly
dangerous to himself, and in which, after
he has once fallen, he becomes dangerous
to others, and in which the

women to visit women aud let the pastor
give himself wholly to the ministry Of
the Word. Let it be fully-understood
that all

are not only weak but wicked, and let the
pastor do his work for human souls pub

pastoral visiting, which brings the pastor
into the family unannounced. When the
pastor visits in the family as pastor, let
it, indeed, be religious service, under
the aid and with the assistance Of the
father Of the family. instead Of this inter.
course that proceeds all too easily from
pure interchange Of ideas to an impure
and dangerous sentimentalism.
