Timely and Sensible Advice.

The editor of the Norfolk IVA Land
mark is a clear-hcaded and sagacious
man. Treating of the recent Mississippi
embodiment, he gives this sensible ad-
vice: ave may fairly demand from the
white people Il wise reserve i'll their in
torcoursc with the negroes. In this case
it appears that the white men, through
idle curiosity, were present, and provoked
the unauthorized interference Of the Mar
shall, whose action prccipitated the coils
ion. 1t is true they had Il right to be
present; but every consideration of poll
cy and self-rcspect should have restrained
them from attending the meeting. Had
they left the negroes to their own devices
this tragedy would not have been enacted,
and the unhappy man whose illegal wits
key brought about the trouble would not
have been murdered after his surrender.
Tn ono word, our friends in the Gulf
States should hold themselves aloof from
tumultuous meetings of the blacks, and
leave them to their orators and leaders,
the idols to whom they are irrcvncably
ioincd. There is but one course for the
white people to adopt in the intensely y
black States, and that we haze indicated:
Whenever they depart from this they will
be liable to the same treatment Sivclry
received, and will run the risk, as happen
ed in this case, ofinvolying Others, remote
even from the scene of action. There Is
ample room for the two races, and in the
present agitatcd frame of the Ethiopian
mind (?) in some of the States to the
South of us the very best thing for the
white people to do is to abstain from all
contact with the negroes on public occa-
sions, of political nature. TO violate
this sound rule, alike enforced by consid,
crations of public peace and personal
dignity, will be to incur the risk OF just
such scenes rs that which has been enact
cd in Mississippi"

A Reconstructed Editor.

An.incident occurred in Buffalo (N.
W varieties theatre which was not in
the bill, and which even i'll that institu-
ton of miscellaneous amusement was
novel and startling. An editorial cx-
cursion" of six Mississippi editors had
been travelling North, and wound up in
Buffalo. With natural desire to see all
that was to be seen, they visited the the
atre and took seats in the parquet. When
the curtain fell for the last time the man.
ager stepped forward proposed "three
hearty cheers for the Mississippi editors" 3"
a call to which the audience heartily
responded. A response had to be made,
and Colonel Stackhouse, of the Halle
hurst C5piahan, was called on to make it.
He took the stage and made one of the
most original speeches, we take it, ever
heard in that queer place. After COM
pairing himself and his friends to the
Queen of Sheba on visit to Solomon's
dominion, he said:
"Fellow-citizen of Buffalo, we assure
YOU that this invasion of ours is altogeth-
or harmless in its object. We are not
spying out the land with any hostile in
tent. No, we are much obliged to the
few bloody-shirt gentlemen among you,
who, for some inscrutable purpose Prov
idencc may have in view, arc allowed to
live and delay the year Of jubilee in this
American family, but we have had
enough of war-rather too much of it.
Our voice is for peace. Applause. We
arc like the little dare devil boy who
played around the heels of mule, got
badly kicked and his face frightfully
manglcd. He asked his father if the
sears would ever disappear from his face
again. "No, sonny" replied the sire,
"you will never be pretty again, but then
YOU will have a damn sight more sense" "
Laughter and applause. We are not
going into any more war with you fellows.
If we had known how confounded nu-
merous you wcre-what vast resources
YOU had-what nation of git up and
gitters you are-we should never have
been guilty of the absurdity of trying to
whip You in the first place"

A Story Of Shorthand Reporting.

In spite of the iealousics between the
two bodies it is quite generally conceded
that D. f. Murphy, Of the Senate, is the
best shorthand reporter in the United
States, if not in the whole world. This
man has reported at the rate of three
hundred words minute, and made copy
that could then accurately be read by
any of his brothers. This would seem
like the greatest possible feat of repor.
torial skill, but there is another feat told
of the elder Murphy that has never been
equalled. The bare repetition of this
story in private circles by the writer has
earned him character for romancing
entirely undcscrved, for it is borne out
by the statement of officials of high
positions who witnessed the feat, and who
ever knew officials of high position to
lic7 Any one can see after this how alb
surd and unjust it would be to doubt the
story.
Some time ago certain Indian chief
came OH here with pack of red beggars
at his back, to smoke pipe with the
great father, as q preliminary to butcher
ing all the frontier people near his reser
vation. AS the story goes the chief is
represented as a Choctaw. The Choctaw
language is fully as complicated in its
wonderful range of gutturals as any of
the barbarous frontier dialects. The no.
BILE Choctaw chief made several speeches
in the council at Washington. The ell
der Murphy was present at one of these
councils with friend. This friend had
often discussed with Murphy the beauty
of photography, the art of transmitting
sounds into translatable shape upon pa
per. Murphy had always insisted that
highly trained photographer should be
able to report any language, whether he
understood it or not, from the mere fol-
lowing of the scale of its vocalization.
The friend seriously doubted this, and at
the council challenged Murphy to report
the Choctaw chief BY taking the sounds
of the original speech. The Choctaw
language, when huently expressed, is a
combination of sounds represented by a
chicken eating corn off from a board,
and the moaning and growing of a sick
terrier. Murphy was a little dashed at
the proposed experiment, but he showed
no hesitation. He took out his notebook
and dashed after the crazy vowcls and
volcanic utterances that came rumbling
from the Choctaw's bowels. After the
confusion of the first moment Murphy
succeeded admirably in catching every
infection of the Indians voice, and when
Murphy read his notes to an interpreter,
so clearly were they taken that the in
terpretcr was able to easily translate them
so that the report thus made correspon-
dcd with the official interpretation

SMALL VS.. GREAT CRIMINALs.-Gov.
Tilden of New York, in a late address
draws attention to the striking inequali-
ty of human justice which prevails at
this day. He says:
81 have frequently been followed by
persons asking for their friends and for
those in whom they are interested par
dons from the prison and pcnitentiaries.
l have been compelled to look into such
cases and see who arc the inmates of such
institutions, and of what they have been
accused-to see what it is that constitutes
the wrong to society of which they have
been convicted. When I have compared
their offences in their nature, temptations
and circumstances, with the crimes OF
great public delinqucnts who claim to
Stand among your best society, and are
confessedly prominent among their fel-
low-citizens, crimes repeated and contin-
ued year after year-I am appalled, at the
inequality of human justice"
These remarks appear to fit the situa"
ton of places besides New York. The oth-
cial disintegration is as marked in other
localities as in the Empire State where
rings flourish in the most virulcnt form:
1t would seem, however, from the case OF
the three county commissioners, OF
h uylkill County, Pa. just sent to jail for
two Years and fined for an improper use
of the county money, that public, delin,
nucnts do not everywhere go unwhipt OF
Justice. The people of this country are
beginning to be disquieted and sore at
immunity enjoyed by official culprits, and
will not much longer permit them to es-
cane the punishment of their crimes.
