Initiating Bishop Haven.

A correspondent of lions Herald,
over the signature of John Brown, is
evidently a convert of Bishop Haven.
He boldly comes to the defense OF
Haven, and corroborates his state
ments about negro beauty. Here is a
specimen of his letter, which We give
to show our reade rs thai the views OF
Bishop Haven are seconded by others:
"The press of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South has howled-yes,
literally howled with rage, because
Bishop Haven has set before the
world, i'll his own graphic style, what
he has seen. And yet, tinted We
muses. ornot, the fact still remains that
the most beautiful women in the cities
of the South are those who have more
or less of negro blood in their veins.
Go into any one of a half-do con-
gregations that we have visited within
the last few days. and you may see
| men and women both who possess ali
the qualities of manly and womanly
beauty. There are those who have
little or no white blood who are by no
means unattractive in form or feature ::
! but tho most beautiful are those with
full, lustrous dark yes, glossy, wavy
hair, complexions just tinged with u
ich ltaiian brown, and forms that are
! faultless."
The writer, John Brown, and his
leader, Haven, intend to convince the
world, if possible, that negro women
are the prettiest things in the world.
To all their travels, they have not found
an ugly negro in all the South. Tc
their eyes they are perfect beauties.
It is a remarkable fact that they seem
to be more concerned about the beauty
of the negroes than their piety.

9.CplkN AND A NES.

From recent revelations it seems
pretty evident that Mississippi owes
her present unfortunate condition
much more to one of her own degeue-
rate sons. by adoption, than to the son-
in-law of Benjamin Butler, who is now
her Governor. In the late election, it
was Hobson's choice, the devil and the
deep sea, for the people at large. Be
tween Alcorn and Ames it was choice
between Dick Turpin and Jack Shep-
perd, and if anything the latter was
preferable to the former. 1t appears
that Alcorn, in one of his canvasses,
proclaimed as follows: 81 have got
this Democratic stag by the horns,
and intend to hold it down till the ne
grCes kick every particle of wind ont
of it."
The result was, says correspond
of the Louisville COurier-Jou,nai, that
while Alcorn made a fierce, brilliant
and bitter, canvass, Ames was elected
by IL, 900 or 90, 600 votes. 70 his own
party the latter was persuasive and
promising; to the Democracy kind and
co iciliatory. Though the Democratic
stag was, as general thing, up and in
horns against him, as it had been
against Alcorn in 1869. Ames was too
wiry to kick the breath out of it.
And herein is a moral for politicians
all-beware how you handle your
pedal extremities. for the kicker of
to-day may be the kickee of to-mor-

THE MASKED BURGLARS.
The History of the Capture OF
Campbell and Tracy i'm Key West.

KEY WEST, FLA, March 2.-On the
18th of January last two men calling
themselves Sandy Campbell and Billy
Tracy, arrived here from New York
and pretended to be looking for work
as laborers They took board in q res
pectable boarding house aid saunter-
ed around town for two or three days
but got no work to suit them. On the
fifth day after their arrival they had
fight with some of the other boarders
and were arrested and committed on O.
charge of assault with intent to kill,
The next day after their commit
ment they hired a boy to get their
baggage away from their boarding
house and hide it. The boy stole the
baggage and secreted it, but was ar
rested, and in it the police found an
outfit for burglars, a large sectional
jimmy about five feet long being
one of the instruments. The police
thought the men had come down
here to rob some of the paymasiers'
safes; but about this time the atten-
tion of the officers was attracted by
the trial of the masked robbers in
your State. and learning that one or
two of them had escaped, the police
thought these fellows, Campbell and
Tracy, might be the two.
Chief of Police Marshall therefore
telegraphed to New York, and receiv-
ed reply that Campbell at least was
one of the men who had escaped, and
the chief was requested to hold him
But about this tine the prisoner broke
Jail and escaped. Bloodhounds were
put on their track, and within twenty
four hours they were found in the
swamps. desperate fight followed.
in which several of the officers we're
slightly hurt, but the desperadoes
were at length captured and hand
cuffed. Campbell smashed his hand
cuffs over a stump, and the officers
had more trouble with him, but finally
he was lodged in jail, and is chained
to the floor of his cell, awaiting the ar
rival of the New York detectives. Ira
cy having proved to the satisfaction of
the court that he was not one Of the
masked robbers and the police of your
city having disowned him, he is to be
tried here.

COLONEL STEPHEN ID. POOL.

The Hillsboro Recorder speaks Of
the nomination of Colonel Pool as the
Conservative candidate for the office
of Superintendent of Public lnstluc-
ton in very handsome terms. 1t says:
The Wilmington JOURNAL suggests
the name OF Col. S. d. Pool as suit
able nominee for this Office. If, by
education, fitting hin exactly for such
a DO. ition if, by laboFioHs energy
Jealous to accomplish all the purposes
of his Office; if. by a spotless character
commanding the respect of all with
whom he is brought in contact, man
bseoles the proper recipient OF Official
honor. tl.e, Col. Pool should be put
forward prominently IS the cho'c" Of
the people.
PARTY services also demand recosnl-
ton. and few in the State have labored
moe faithfully in the cause than Col.
Pool. We h1Ge his claim will receive
favorable consideration.
The Weldon Nesos in referense TO
the same gentleman says:
"Next August, there will be an cleo
ton for Superintendent of Public In
struction and it should be the aim OF
the Conservative party to pat in pomi-
nation man who is not only popular
bi,t is we'll qualified for the position.
IN casting about for such person, the
name of Colonel stephen d. Pool, OF
O,r Liri,ag and Our mead, occurs to
! us as in every respect worthy of the
position. The Wilmington JOURNAL
was the first to nominate him and the
press throughout State has endorsed
/ the step taken by the JOURNAL.
Colonel POOLS attainments are such
as to eminently qualify him for the Of,
GGe and his long and earnest services
in behalf Of the Conservative party en-
title him to consideration. The posi-
ton of Superintendent of Public In

Judge Brown, of Baltimore, has
given decision in sewing machine
suit that may be Interesting to thous-
ands who are laboring to pay for their
machines by instalments. A Miss
Barker bought sewing machine on
the instalmeEt plan, signing a contract
by WHICH she agreed to pay certain
sum per month for the use of the ma
chine, and the company agreed to exc
cute a bill of sale Wien the whole
| price had been received. The install
ments were promptly handed over by
Miss Barker until only Ave dollars re-
NAMED due. She was prevented from
paying this by sickness, and the com
pany sued out writ of replevin. A
| justice of the peace decided in favor of
| the defendant. but Judge Brown, OF
the City uoart, .eyefsed the judgment.
and ruled that the Company vas enti-

money paid on it.

A queer story is told of King Koffee.
After the defeat of his favorite gene
raj, he copyoked an assembly of his
Fetishes at the court of Coomassie, and
invited them to consult tte sacred
oracles and tell him what line of con-
duct he ought to pursue in regard to
the English invaders. At first they
refused to comply with the royal re-
quest, but afterwards consented on re-
ceiving the Kings royal promise that
their lives should be saved no matter
what might be the result OF their con-
sultation with the gods. Two rams
were introduced in the temple, one OF
which was black and the other white,
and they were encouraged to buck
elch other in mortal combat. The re-
suit was that the black ram was killed
by his white antagonist. The Fetishes
then declared that everything looked
black on the prospects of King koffee,
except the streets of his capital, Coo
massie, which were red with blood.
The King, interpreting the oracle to
mean that he should be defeated by
the English, forthwith sent an en-
bassy to Sir Garnet suing for peace.
The New York Tribune has intelli-
g.uce '.Luat SECRETARY Richardson has
withheld from the House all informa-
ton relative to an early application for
a contract under what is known as the
Sanborn-contract law. We say this Is
!! extraordinary; yet it is exactly in con-
sonancs with all of the nefarious pro-
ceedings under the law OF May 8. 1872.
It is clear that the act was passed fol
the benefit of the Butler-Sanborn Ring.
Mr.. Butler was then the advocate, as
he is now the defender; of that fruitful
scheme; Sanborn was the only s..aI
who made much out of the jobs-ex
cept those with whom he divided. -
! Now it is asserted that the first appli
cant for a contract under the law o
1872 was put off until the Sanborr
party were given the contracts ane
then the legal limit Of the number O
contractors had been reached. The
Secretary said, few weeks ago, tha
he had sent to Congress all document
bearing on this business. But he dlt
not send the papers in the case OF th'
first appl cation under the law. Wh]
