Disgruntled at Being Snubbed
The Cincinnati Commercial states
on what it regards as unquestioned
authority that the President is not
Sin the least gratified at the fact
that he was not at all in any way re-
ferred to in the address of the Re-
publican Congressional Committee !;
that his services to the country dur
ing the war were not referred to in
the usual patriotic style; that the
people were not reminded of the Ia
bors he had performed during his
two terms of the Presidency; that
his various efforts for the public good
during the last twelve months were
not properly described that the adj.
mirable character of his appoint
ments to federal Office within recent
times was not duly dilated upon !;
that the assaults of his enemies were
not repelled; that, in short, hardly
any notice was taken of him by those
who owe everything to him." It is
very evident that Morton, Logan,
Blaine and others, have determined
TO stock the cards on the President
They have no further use for him.

A scoundrel at Large.
Washington Dlspatch, ad.


The neighboring county of Prince
Georges, Maryland, is in a high
state of excitement. A notorious
colored rough, named Dorsey, has
committed a number of aggravated
assaults in that region, lately, prin-
cipally on women who happen to be
outside their homes without male
protection. He has instituted a per-
feet reign of terror, it seems, all over
the country. Women are afraid to
venture out of doors, even to 60 to
church, without an able-bodied male
escort. The sheriff seems to be I'M
able to do anything. Dorsey makes
his hiding place in the underground
or chapparal on the other side of
Eastern Branch, where search for
him is not only very laborious, but
also very hazardous. Appeals have
been made to the District police to
aid in his capture, and although
Prince Georges is not within their
Jurisdiction, they have at different
times made fruitless attempts TO
capture the brute.

Cadet smith.
From the clneinnati commereIal


The negro cadet, Smith, was dis
charged from West Point after the
last annual examination, for alleged
deficiency in philosophy. 1t is claim
ed that this was a mere subterfnge
to get rid of him. He makes a strong
case for himself in Fred. Douglass
paper. On the other hand, Secre-
tary Belknap refuses to reinetate
him. believing that he had fair ex-
animation and failed to pass. The
New York Sun sent a reporter to
West Point to investigate the mat
ter, and his report confirms the Sec
retary's view of the case. Smith
seemed to be incapable Of grasping
the principals of philosophy, and
failed TO answer some of the simplest
elementary questions.

grasshoppers are very discouIaging.
The crops in Leavenworth county

Civil Rights in Mississippi.

The following is the substance of
the speech made by Davenport, the
colored Chancery Court Clerk in
Vicksburg, which excited SO much
Indignation among the white people
of that city. Referring to the elope-
ment Of white girl of Port Gibson
with negro member of the Legis-
lature, be said: "The time was not
far distant when the Port Gibson af-
fair could be repeated daily-it would
be nothing to see large numbers fol-
low the example of that young lady.
He would go further and say that
there were thousands of Southern
women, many here in Vicksburg, of
the most respectable families, who
would do so to-day were they not
afraid. But these things would
change, barriers would be broken
down, for the white women now see
that the negro Is the coming man
and that they have control of the
city and State Governments. If he
were not married man he could get
the daughter of one of the best fam
lilies in Vicksburg, and were he in
the matrimonial market, he would
buckle on a pair of revolvers and
meet the woman's brothers or father
who would dare to interfere with his
love affairs, or rather attempt to pre-
vent daughters and sisters from their
choice in the selection of a good hus-
band Whom they we're anxiaus to
have) among the colored men,"

A Famous Preacher on License.

CtNciNNAfi. Aug. 2.-Rev. C. b.
Boynton, ex-chaplain of Congress.
pastor of the Vine street Congr6ga-
tional church, preached to-day strong
ly favoring a license system for the
liquor trade. TIe said Ire had seen
all the phases and examined all the
arguments in the temperance move
ment, and had concluded that the
temperance people wouId have at
last to reargue the subject from a new
standpoint. He believed that the
late phases of the movement were
misdirected, in that they aimed at
the liquor sellers instead Of the in
temperate men who were the founda-
tions of the trade. 1t was like try
ing to dip river dry at the mouth
instead of at the fountain head. Re-
form i'm this matter must come from
the publication of individuals and
of society.

houses for a quarter of a mile dis
tant. The chasm in the south end
is about 25 feet in extent at the top.
There is no serious damage aside
from the filling of cellars, drowning
of chickens and carrying away OF
fencing. The accident was caused
by leakage around an old pipe which
had been left imbedded in the soil,
ever since the new reservoir was
built. One thousand dollars will
pay all damages aside from that done
by filling cellars.

stars and Stripes Borne to the Front.
HONOLULU, April 4. 1874.
The past month has been quiet one, 80 far as
business is concerned. The vessels or war in our
harbor have helped us to while away the time
quite pleasantly.
NAVAL REGATTA.
On the 9th nit. the officers of the United States
ship Portsmouth got mp regatta for the enter
tainment OF the town. The boats entered were
from the ships-0f-war. The first race was for
wnaieboats, OF winch two were entered, both be-
longing to the Portsmouth. The winning boat
made excellent time
The second race was Tor gigs, the Tuscarora,
Portsmouth and Bencia each entering a boat.
This was spirited race, the boats coming In in
the order In which the ships are named.
AMERICAN AND BRITISH MUSCLE AT THE OAR.
The third race WAS for cutters Tor when six
boats were entered. The TuscarOra and Ports
month entering two EACH. the Benicia one, aud
Her Britannia Malcsty'S snip Tenedos one. The
best time made over the course was made during
this race For q time 1t was thought that the
TcnedOs would WIN the prize; but the Tuscarora's
first cutter soon placed her nag In the front and
came in an easy winner, the Benicia's boat second,
the Tuscarora's second cutter third the Ports
months TWO boats next anu the Tenedos' cutter
last. M
t CHANCE FOR ALL HANDS.
The fourth race was for all corners, five bOats

heavy shrinkage OF values caused an advance to
7per cent currency ana gold, tho recovery was
prompt, and closing business was done at g and
4 per cent for call loans. The eellng among
merchants as to business prospects Is especially
more hopeful, and the belief Is more or les ex-
pressed that there will SOON be heavier demand
for funds that will give better tone and character
