THE NEGRO AS A RULER.

Tracing up the negro through all
the phases of assured and traditional
history, we find that as servant he
has been a success as q ruler, a
failure. In his native land he is a
cannibal, wholly nninAuenced by the
progressive march Of adjacent ma
tons; and in all countries where he
ha, secured or been entrusted with
political control, through numbers or
otherwise, the result has proved Diet
rimental and retrogressivc In San
Domingo he has had possession OF
one of the iairest and most favored
isles in the wide circuit Of the seas,
and since that result was accom-
plished he has been rapidly lasping
into barbarism. Under his rule gar.
dens have been turned into deserts
and order into chaos. A similar re-
suit has followed in consequence Of
his overwhelming numbers and un-
trammeled exercise of civil rights in
Jamaica---another gem of the sea-"
When j. II. Raincy, the colored
Congressman from South Carolina,
was asked the price Of land in the
State he represented, he said: Land
in South Carolina is cheap. We
like to put On the taxes, so as to
make il cheapw This has been the
philosophy OF negro rule throughout
the South. The impoverishment of
tho white man for the benefit of the
negro.
These who read the lesson Of the
day, without pausing to trace exist
ing causes to their ultimate conse>
quences, lose all hope for such States
AS Louisiana and South Carolina. --
They think that negro rule will be
maintained, and that negro rule
means perpetual corruption and ex-
travagance. On this point we are
inclined to take issue with our doubt
ing Thomases. We believe thst ne
gro rule is not destined 10 be per-
petuated in any one of the States of
the Union They have succeeded
thus far, because as wards of the ma
ton, they were on trial, as it were,
and the war prejudices of the ma
jority Of the white people of the
North were unto them as a shield
and buckler. But great reaction
is now in process of being accom-
plishcd. The Northern white man
now finds that negro rule in the
South has been a blunder, if not a
crime. Under this conviction sec
tional prejudices are giving way be-
fore the strong sympathies Of blood
and race. The white men Of the ma
ton are now pretty firmly determin-
ed that the oppression of the white
men of the South shall cease, and
being thirty six millions against four,
what they determine will surely be
carried out.--Nep Orleans Times,

CIVIL RIG BTs BILL.

This measure. through which sum
ncr attempted to organize popular
infamy, is found to be exceedingly
dlstastefuI 10 the people. II can get
the support Of not even majority
OF The republican party and there
has been such backing down in
Congress as to authorize the dispatch
that no further action will be taken
on it at this session. In addition to
all this We have the assurance that
the President would veto the bill il
passed Let us be thankful that
though fortune could threaten this
infamy it may not ;nilict it.

ANSWERING A Personal.
How New York Young Lady Went to
Omaha to Marry Young Man She
had Never seen-she Backs out
and He Proves to be Mail
D1hI~a~


Robber.
A Young lady arrived in Omaha,
Neb a few days ago, and registered
her name at the Wyoming Hotel as
Edith Hayland, Of New York City.
Concerning her, the Omaha Repub-
Iican tells singular story as follows !:
''She came here for the purpose Of
marrying Mr. Bruce Adams, of
Wyoming Territory, they having
struck up an acquaintance by means
Of a notice in Eastern Weekly
ne wspaper, which was followed by
correspondence and promise of
marriage. They had never met
each other face to face, and all they
knew Of each other was from the cor
respondence that had taken place
between them. Rather dangerous
that! She found it so. When she
met Mr.. Adams at the Wyoming,
she stated frankly to him that she
was disappointed in him. Shs said
she did not like the looks of his face.
Miss Hayland showed us yesterday,
her wedding outfit. She was well
and amply provided with all articles
that bride would need Her dresses
were very nice, and some Of them
were quite elegant. We noticed a
handsome toilet case in her trunk
with solid gold trimmings. The
young lady is a pleasant, fair look
ing girl. She evidently belongs to
good family who are in coInforta-
bic circumstances. While she did
not show good sense In contracting
to marry man whom she had never
seen, and whom she had known but
few weeks, and then by correspon-
denee only, yet she did act the wise
part in drawing out when she met
the man and found that she was dis
appointed in him. Now comes the
sequel, which is as strange as the
foregoing story. The United States
Marshal heard that Bruce Adams
was in the city, and it SO happened
that the United States peace officers
here had orders to arrest Brce Adams,
who had been Indicted in the United
States District Court in Iowa for
robbing Post office in Vinton, Iowa,
in 1871. Adams was arrested on
Farnham street on Tuesday evening
by Deputy Marshal Borrower, and
is now in Jail here. The United
States Marshal is expected here to.
day from Iowa to take him east for
trial. Miss iIayland telegraphed to
New York for money, received it
yesterday, and in the afternoon she
started back for her New York
home.

The Tampa, Fla, Guardian
says; There are but few of our
readers outside of Tampa aware of
the fact that the manufactures of
cedar pencils in Germany and other
European countries are indebted to
this coast for the supply of most of
their material; yet such is un
doubtedly the fact. This cedar is
cotton out and hauled to Tampa in
the shape of nicely-hewn logs, some
ten feet in length, worth, on an
average, fifty cents per square foot.
This timber is then shipped to New
York, sawed into slips, cedar pencil
length, thence sent TO Europe. The
cedar logs as hauled in by the farm
ers are in piles about town and in
heaps along the river, The cedar
forests up the river are almost in
exhaus,ible, though in swsmpy ham,
mocks causeways have to be built to
facilitate the getting out of the
cedar.
