class city shops. and conviction that. by so do
ing, we would merit and obtain large share of
that class of work, which has not heretofore been
undertaken in this section, but which had to be

the reasonableness of our expectations, and en-
esurages us TO press forward with renewed cner-

Southern Outrages.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.
The president since his return has devot-
ed considerable time to reading the com
ments of the press upon the action of the
government with regard to the revolution
in Louisiana and the outragcs in several of
the southern states during the summer In
conversation yesterday the president, re-
ferring TO the persistent denials of the OPP
position press of the correctness OF the
official information as to the condition of
the south in September last, stated that
the information in possession Of the govern
ment is so extensive and so well authcnti-
Gated that no fair-minded man can examine
IL without acknowledging the truthfulness
of the report. And he further said that con-
gress, if 1t wishes to know tie facts, can be
supplied with the evidence which will con-
firm all official statements and justify all
official actions in this regard AS to the
condition of affairs in Louisiana, the Pres.
ident maintained the position which he has
from the first consistently held. The fail
ure of congress, after repeated requests
from the executive, to define the legal sta
tus of the contending governments, forced
the President to the course which was
finally adopted

1864 1t is stated that number of papers
were also issued during term of Judge
Davignand of which there is no record. A
meeting of members of the bar has been
called for Wednesday to consider Attorney
General Fields opinion on the second dis
trict court naturalizations. 1t is under
stood the state authorities have consented
to arrange separate boxes for the votes nat

fore the courts.

Nothing more welcome in this line has ever

which he presents to his hearers. Some
people regard history a dry study, but
John Lord possesses the happy faculty
of investing the ''dry bones" of his sub
jects with the captivating attractions of a
romance and the finished grace of oratory,
all beautifully blended with entertainment
and wisdom.
We are pleased, too, to be enabled to
state that the committee having this course

A special to the Courier-Journal from
Shelby county gives an account of bloody
outrage committed on Saturday night last.
A band of masked men visited religious
meeting, but did no violence beyond halt
ing certain parties as they came out OF
church. Afterward they went to the house
OF Thomas Ford, white, where they WHIP
ped three negroes and threatened Mr.. Ford
with the same treatment unless he discharg-
ed the negroes employed by him. From
there the party went TO the house OF a ne
gro named Darlington and called for him
to come outside. Upon his refusal to do SO
they fired into the house, one bullet strik-

The st. Adams Advertiser publishes
private circular that it has just discovered,
addressed to the farmers of Vermont be-
fore the recent state election, urging them
to attend the primary meetings and other
wise interest themselves in the campaign
so that men who would serve their inter-
ests would be elected. Tho Adoertiser tries
to associate the name of Albert Clarke of
the Messenger, with the authorship OF the
circular, but Clarke denies that he wrote it
or had anything to do with giving it cur
rency. 1t is really unnecessary for him to
make the denial, for there is nothing very
bad about the circular.
Rawsel II. Keith of Montpelier, known
as Judge" Keith, died on Sunday from an
overdose of laudanum, taken with the evil
dent design of ending the suffering he had
experienced for several years from kidney
disease. He was born at Uxbridge, Mass.
in November, 1870, and early in life moved
to Vermont, where he was well known as
business man for many years. He was a
tanner by trade, but for long time held
the presidency of the old bank of Montpe-
ler, and was annually elected director of
it till he was too feeble to serve.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 81.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.
Such are the priyations of citizens of
Nebraska and other portions of western
territory recently invaded by the grass
hoppers, that the president has determined
to assume the responsibility of ordering
the commissary- general to furnish ratlons
for the impoverished inhabitants in the
country blighted by the summer curse
The president is confident that this act,
though not authorised by law, will be
sufficiently defended on the ground of the
demands of humanity, and for this reason
he will assume the responsibility of issuing
the necessary orders.

of in Rutland before. But the committee
doubtless expect to make up the cost of
these lectures by the sale OF thousands of
tickets, and we have no idea they will be
disappointed AS the committee truly say
in their advertisement, the lecturer can as
well talk to thousand people as to hun
dred, and it is surely better for the general
good that thousand should hear good
lecture for fifteen cents each than hun
dred people at double that price. Success,
we say, to this course.
