Those who counsel the recognition of Nc
Emery and Penn either overlook or are indiffer-
ent to the safety of the 1000 black people
who would thereby be given over to persecution
and spoliation. 1t would be substitution of
scorpions for whips The government cannot
consent to such virtual abandonment Of its
rightful wards without involving itself in inef-
fable disgrace.
The whites are abundantly able to take care
of themselves. Whenever they are willing. in
good faith, to accept the constitution as it is,
yielding unreserved obedience to the amend
ments which have established the political
equality of the blacks, there will be no diff.
Guilty in their obtaining full share in establish
ing solid and satisfactory state government.
Their sufferngs under extravaganza and mis-.
rule have been of their own making, and must
be of their own undoing. Relief will not come
to them over the smoking ruins of negro cabins
and the slaughter of blameless citizens, unless
the American republic falls under the sway of
an administration wholly lost to every consider
alton of justice, humanity and self-interest

SENATOR Carpenter comes to his own de-
Tense in the matter of the Kellogg fees, and
publishes letter in the Chicago Tribune ex-
planning his connection with the case. As
payment of counsel fees was tardy, he sent
the brief dunning letter which has been pub
lished by the New Orleans burglars. After
giving his consent TO the publication of all his
letters which may be found, he says: "No
one who will examine my record on the Lou
isiana matter can be made to believe that
was bribed by Mr.. Kellogg; as everything I
have said and done in tie premises, in the
Senate or before the people, has proceeded
upon the ground, and been intended to prove
that Mr.. Kellogg was not the legal governor
of the state, and had no right whatever to
that Office. And the attempt to ipjure me in
this particular is only part of the general
conspiracy to get even with me, without re-
gard to truth or justice.'

Farmers Meetings.
York County Fair.

The York county fair opened auspiciously
yesterday. The show on the grounds was very
fine, the amount Of stock exhibited being larg-
er and of superior quality to what has hereto
fore been exhibited. The Messrs Dane of Ken
nebunk, were present with their fine herd of
Ayrshires and Jerseys. There was also a good
show of Durhams and some fine Dutch. TIE
display of steers and working oxen was excel
lent Ia fowls there was a good exhibition of
Asiatics, Cochins, plymouth rocks and leghorns.
Horses were of course present in abundance.
The noted stallion Palmer Knox was present
with eight of his colts, and Emery Fearnaught
put IN an appearance with six colts. The dis
play of PatcheR stock was handsome. The
following shows about the number of entries
on the ground to noon Oxen, ~; steers, 26;
COWS, 20; colts, %; mares with foal, 6; mares,
4; BULLS 10; heifers, 10; horses, O.; town teams,
2; stations, 2; calves, 4; boars 5; sows, 1; pigs
Z; tlocks of sheep, a; herds of cows, 1; herds
of bulls, 1; trios of fowls, %; entries of pig
cons, 1.
The display in the hall exceeds in variety,
quality and extent that of last year. OF course
the cotton mills make grand show, and the
Hardy Machine Company has an excellent dis
play.
The vegetable show is larger than for several
years past, and well worthy the attention of
any one interested in garden produce. 1t has
been pronounced larger in extent and equal in
quality to the late horticultural Fair in Port
land.
The following are the entries for the society
purse, to be trotted for to-day: r. L. K Grant
names b. g. Black Crook; Samuel Chase, g. g.
Honest Tom; Charles w. Bond, b. g. Saunter-
er; E. w. Durgin, r. C. Gen. Warren; Hiram

North Ar0Ostook Fair.
The annual cattle show and fair of the North
Aroostook Agricultural Society was held Tues
day and Wednesday of last week. The wealth
er was somewhat unfavorable, and the result
was smaller exhibition of neat stock and
horses than in previous years. There were
some fine herds of Durham cattle, and thor
oughbred Ayrshire bull on the grounds show
ed that the Aroostook farmers are awake to
the improvement of their stock. There were
some excellent specimens of Herefords also on
the ground. The display of horses was not
large, but included some fine animals. The
show in the hall was very crediable to the fruit
raisers of Aroostook. The ladies contributed a
large assortment Of useful and fancy articles of
home manufacture
There were three races in connection with the
show, the first for horses that never trotted for
money; the second for four year old colts, and
the third for horses that never beat minutes.
In the first the black geding Charley, owned
by Samuel Caughey, took the first money; the
second was won by H. E. Wards bay mare
Bay Bess; and the third by j. f. Dyer's black
stallion Black Knox.

OWNERS of real estate in Washington are
endeavoIing to persuade themselves and the
world That the federal capital is to be the
future seat of learning in diplomacy, and
that the wi sest and most skillful diploma
lists of other nations will! make the mission
to Washington the objective point of their
highest ambition. Diplomacy, say these san
guine people, has hitherto been an art; it
remains for America to convert it into
science, under the instruction of teachers
profoundly versed in diplomatic lore. All
these vain imaginings are simply because the
British minister has built nice house in
Washington. If he should go 10 work and
build stable imaginative real estate owners
would see in the national capital the New
market and EPSON of the future.

THE Congregational council at New Haven
seems to have confined its efforts to reduc-
ton of the machinery of church and mission
airy work, and consequent economizing in
time, energy and expense. The recommen-
dations are: That the mission work in cath
Ole countries be turned over to the board of
foreign missions; that the whole matter of
home evangelization, including the work of
the missionary Sunday school and the church
building society, be put into the hands of the
home missionary society; and that the sever
al denominational magazines be consolidated.
These recommendations are, of course, net
mandatory. but coming from representative
body of such high standing, cannot fail to
have great influence upon the action of the
denomination.

The famine in Asia Minor appears to be
as destructive as that which nearly depopula-
ted large district of Persia few years ago.
An area of country as large as the state of
New York is afflicted, and already 100000
people have died. Last year there was a to-
tai failure of crops, and this years crops
have failed too. The surplus of past years is
exhausted, and the people are wringing
scanty subsistence from the herbs that grow
by the wayside. The Turkish govern
ment is Indifferent and uninterested. 1t has
seut some supplies to the sufferers, but the
relief thus afforded is trifing, and the famine
striker people are dying by thousands.

THE king of Denmark has put TO rest the
wild rumors in respect TO Prussian encroach-
quent hostile attitude of Russia toward the
German empire. In his speech delivered at
the opening of the Danish Parliament, King
Christian took occasion TO state that The for
eign relations of Denmark were friendly.
Nothing was said in respect to the rumor
that Prussia is endeavoring to force the nor
thern kingdom into the empire. So that re-
port may be dismissed as unworthy of notice.

not one of free trade, but of simplification
and of the substitution of specific for ad va
