II is an old traditionary proyerb that
"the voice Of the people is the voice of
God" Sometimes IL is, but In the case
we propose to cite the voice Of the peo-
pie is the voice Of a thief, the voice Of
injustice and rascality. We believe 1t is
affect pretty generally understood that in
the unfortunate States Of Louisiana, Ala
bama, and one or two others. there are a
great number Of counties and parishes
where the colored population ousnumber
the whites ten to one. The whites own
tho land but the blacks own the votes.
and whatever they decide on carries the
day. Without disparaging the personal
character OF the negro, we believe that
his general idea Of honor, aud his usual
moral status, are hardly Of sufficiently
high order TO give him domination.
What education may do for him remains
10 be proved. However, that has been
argued before; it is Of unfortunate re-
suits we speak. Their plurality in that
section gives them absolute power, their
success conveys undue arrogance, and
their rather lax ideas Of right and
wrong cause them to elect to the judici-
airy and to places of pecuniary trust, mon
| that wouldn't be allowed as tipstaves in
q well.orderod court. Ranting polite
tans and frothy demagogues mount the
stand and spout OF the horrible state OF
affairs and the irritated condition Of
society in the South. Science tells us
that the musquito that annoys the body
eeryes beneficial purpose in the econ
omy OF nature. Those hoarse elocu-
tionists probably serve some similar pur-
pose in the political arcana, but some
more solid form OF expression is required
to point out tho cause of tho evil and
the proper remedies to apply to the lac
Grated frame. While the negro vote is
controlled by INSCRIPTIONS and avarici'
GUS wretches under tho form of greedy
whites, tho present turbulent state OF
affairs will exist. Whom the the colored
man-however remote the epoch-learns
to distinguish for himself and act on and
for his own interests, it will cease. The
negro though physically free is as yet q
mental slave and serves har masters.

Dedication of seUn1ty..

Last Sabbath, Unity" Church was
dedicated. This church, as the public
know, has been in course of erection for
some time past, and has been but recent
ly completed. A large number of peo-
pie were in attendance-far more than
could get into the building. We arrived
early and obtained a good seat, but va
Gated il las was ur.duty) in favor of the
ladies. After the opening prayer, a
statement was read by one of the build
ing committee, giving the Indebtedness
of the committee, and the amount re-
ceived by them, leaving a balance un-
paid of between seven and eight hun
dred dollars; an effort was Immediately
made to raise this amount, which re-
suited in obtaining all but about sixty
dollars. after this the exercises were
resumed; but, as We have already stated,
we had vacated our seat in favor of the
ladies, and as standing up is not our forte,
we retired TO a reserved seat on the ont
side of the building, and therefore are
unable to give any detailed account of
the proceedings.
We see. however, by the distributed
bills, that the lesson was read by Rev.
E. III. Heagler of New Lexington; the
prayer of dedication by the pastor Rev.
Beeman). and the sermon by Rev. A
Kingsbury, D. D., of GAINESVILLE, which
was followed by the Sacrament of the
Lords Supper. After the conclusion of
this programme, an intermissiOn of thir-
ty minutes was given, which was follow
ed by historical address by Rev. Be-
man. But as 1t was now after o'clock,
and as fasting is another thing that is
not our forte, we left before the delivery
of this address, which we are sorry to
have missed.
In conclusion. we say that the people
of sod Unity" may we'll feel happy in
the possession of NEW UNITY. To the
building committee, to the Pastor, and
all others concerned in the erection Of
this new building, all honor and praise
be given. y.

The Suicide Caused by Sheridan's
Marriage.

The following is from the New York
Tribune: deputy Coroner Lee made
a post norten examination of the body
of Captain William H. Brown, of the
Fifth United States Cavalry, who COM
mitted suicide ON Friday. At the time
Captain Brown was dying he spoke of a
ring that he had swallowed. This ring
was found. 1t was of plain gold, with
raised, chased edges. On the inside of
the ring was engraved BE satisfied
The story of the ring was not ascertain
ed, but it is believed that the ring had
been given to Captain Brown by the
daughter of an army officer. 1t is said
that he had been much attached to the
young lady, and it is believed that her
recent marriage had upset his mind, and
had been one of the predisposing causes
of his suicide. The inquest upon the
remains is to be held on Wednesday
next" On the same subject the New
York Star SAYS: Captain William ii.
Brown committed suicide on Friday by
cutting his throat, and he did it for love
IF rumors be true, he was engaged to
the young lady in New Orleans who has
since become the wife of Phil. Sheridan
She sent Brown a ring with BE satisfied
upon it. Brown swallowed the ring
but was not satisfied. He then cut his
| throat. Poor felIowP'

OBITUARY.

JESSE NJ. NORRIS was born in Nir-
ginia, July II, 1898; died in Somerset,
June 7, 1875-being nearly eighty-two
years of age when he passed from our
midst.
J. NJ. Morris, NJ. D., was one of Som
erset's oldest and most honorable citI-
zenS. Some, with whom / have spoken,
have known him for over fifty years.
The Doctor came to Ohio, to the vi
cinity of Marietta, when about nine
years of age, in 1902 or 1903; from thence
he came to GAINESVILLE about the year
1911. Here he remained five or six
years, during which time he read medi-
cine with DIR. Conant, fully preparing
himself for his profession. He came to
Somerset about the year 1916, and COM
menced the practice of medicine, but
about six years after this he visited Con-
necticut, and there was united in mar
riaga with Miss Hulda Collins, in No
vember, 1922. The Doctor returned to
Somerset after his marriage, remained
few years, and again went back TO Connect
icut-this time residing there some nine
years. During this time he took great
interest in the Temperance work, and
lectured some on this suhjeet-having
written some lectures which have been
preserved by his friends.
He returned TO this place again about
the year 1884, remaining here till death
released him from his nfferings-except
after the death of his first wife he visit
ed Berlin, Conn.,, and was united in mar
riage with Loucina Galpin, in the latter
part of the year 1852. This good wo-
man, in loneliness, but in patient resigna-
| ton, survives the Doctor. Though an
upright and moral man, he did not unite
with any branch of the Church till
about the year 1854, when he united
with the NJ. E. Church in this place.
When young man the Doctor was
very large and rugged, and once, while
in GAINESVILLE, he rode a vicious horse
which no one else could ride, and after
riding it some five miles, he was thrown,
receiving an injury which may have had
something to do with impairing his mind
in age-at least, some nine years ago
with symptoms of paralysis, his memory
began to fail, and some six years age
grew much worse; so that since then he
has not been able to attend to business
DR.. Morris was a good and honest
man; faithful physician, and good citi.
zen. In his large print New Testament
he could find the name Jesus long after
he could neither read nor spell othel
words.
We were in to see him frequently tht
last two weeks of his life, but he slep
nearly all the time; and on the evening o
the 9TH, while with the family and som,
neighbors in prayer we were asking tn
Divine blessing upon his sorrowing com
panion, and commencing his soul to God
who gave it, he quietly fell asleep in Je
sus, to rest from suffering, and know n
he is known B. F. THOMAS.

There is very good reason to suspect
the New York Times says, that numbers
of those persons who are supposed to
die intestate do not so die in fact In
too many instances the will has been de-
stroyed. The temptation offered is too
strong to be resisted: There is bright
fire in the CRATE, and, standing beside ii
the finder of the will peruses clause af-
ter clause only to discover that sum
infinitely less than he thinks his due
has been bequeathed to him. Let him
drop the document into the flames, and
under the assumed intestacy, a hand
some slice must be his. The solicitor
may, indeed, produce duplicate, which
can be entered for probate, and the
criminal may thus find himself defeated
But what then? The crime, at all events
can not be brought home to him. II wal
the opinion of one of those most expert
enced In testamentary suits that this of
Tense is frequently perpetrated.

Charles O'Conor doesn't encourage
tailors muchly, and his hat is probably
the worst hat exhibited on a good head
on Broadway. There is a tradition
among the New York lawyers that Mr..
O'Conor's hat was presented to him on the
day of his admission TO the bar, and
that he has been wearing 1t and sitting
on it alternately ever since. The story
is rather tough, but they say that the
hat is fearfully and wonderfully mellow.
