Blunt, the would.be Senator, and
sometime President of the School
Board, and Principal of the colored
school in Natchitoches, is a curious
conglomoration of inconsistenc G 8,
and is, in his line, a jewell preach
er as well az a thief and liar-an ex-
ponent Of the doctrine of "good will
to men," he Is externally advocating
hatred and death to the whites, and
with a "voice for war" he is most
consumate coward. For series of
years he has lent bis power over the
negroes in this section, to such men
as Boullt and Myers--and no man Of
honest character or pure principles
could for a moment I've his friend. In
all the legislation he attempts he is
but tie moutl'-piece Of Bonllt and
Myers, for Blunt has not brains
enough to be anything beyd nd a
coaclman. That honest and ihtell;-
gent white people should tire bf this
state Of affairs, ia but natural, and
the signs Of the times indicat that
this "bottom rail" business has about
run its length. Many, very many
colored men, We ar0 proud to say,
have evinced an aptitude and fitness
for liberty and suffrage, while a
majority have shown an utter disre-
gard for all teachings save the most
in6amatory. Let any such man as
Blunt below out war and extermina-
ton to the whites, and We are sorry
to say that majority Of colored men
here are but too ready to follow out
his advice. This state Of things must
no longer exist-the country wants
peace, and our prosperity demands q
rule of capability and hopesty-"to
that complexion" We have come, and
all the vain rantings Of ignorant
negro Senatcrs(9) will not save
one atom of the past brutal and ir-
responsible rule. Nature has assum-
ed its sway, the attempt to thwart
it's inevitable rule will result in loss
to no one but those who attempt it.

packet, to replace during high water,
the favorite Flsta, and we must say
that she, in every way, meets the
wants ofour trade. Having fine pas
seager accommodations and z carrying
capacity of 100 to 1900 bales. Neat
and trim in appearance, she will not
fail to give satisfaction. Robbins,

school.

From the Richmond Enqulrer,l
1t will be pleasing for the host o.
friends Of the Hon. J. W. Brockenbrough
to hear that he proposes to reopen his
Law School in Lexington, Va, on the Isl
Of October. This school before the war
became one OF the institutions Of Virgin
ia, 1t was in successful operation from
1919 to 1861. At the close OF the war
the Judge resumed his school with Hat.
tering prospects, and continued his regu'
lar sessions till 1865, when through the
influence Of the trustees Of Washington
and Lee University he was induced to take
the prOtessOrship oflaw and his school
became attached to the University. 1t
was in ante bellum days, the favorite
school Of Va. and the South, and we hon
estly believe, that there was no young
man, who had the privilege Of attending
this school, and, listening TO the lectures
Of this learned man, can ever fail to re-
member him with that affection which
few are capable OF inspiring.
We remember with pleasure and graft
tude the kindness received at his hands
when, q STRIPPING We entered his class in
1860, an hour in his company taught us
to approach him as a friend as we'll as an
instructor.-His class was his family, and
many happy evenings have we spent
wilhth entire membership in the parlors
Ofhis hOspitable home.
His lectures are interspcrsed with apt
illustrations, to that extent, that an ap-
prcciative mind can never tire, and we
heartily indorse the words OF another
"that it is labor of love to us to inform
all the aspiring disciples OF Coke, that his
prophet il again arisen, and thatiu Lex
ingtOn they will find him, man vcnera.

Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1875-05-29
DIED.

At the residence OF his father in this
county, on the 2ith inst, OF consumption,
RICHARD ID. EDMoNDsON, in the 9th year of
his age.
Patiently and uncomplainingly he bore
the long and painful illness which termi-
mated his life. No murmur escaped his
lips during the weary days through which
he lay upon the bed OF sickness. Ever
cheerful and contented, he was a living ex-
ample of that fortitude and courage which
only a steadfast faith in the promises
of God can give, perfect type of the true
christian. Though young in years, he had
won for himself place in the affections of
the community which few of more mature
age lad attained. By his kindness ofheart
ever evinced more strongly by acts than
words, he had endeared himself 10 old and
young where he was best known, and he
was never spoken of but in terms of highest
praise. Honest and upright in all his deal
ings, he never left a promise unfulfilled.
Called off in the very opening of man
hood, he has left behind him in the hearts
of all WHO knew him void none other can
NIL. Gentle, affable, courteous and kind,
ever regarding the feelings of others rather
his own, he made trends wherever he made
acquaintances, and those who knew him
most intimately loved him best. An earn
est, devoted christian, he never sought TO
obtrude his piety upon others, but endeav-
ored to " let his light so shine" that others
might follow his example. Processing
christianity in carly youth, he was ever a
steadfast follower of Z" the meek and lowly
lamb" treading constantly in the path of
duty, and dying, as he had lived, happy in
the blissful hope of a bright Immortality
beyond the shores of time. Not weary Of
the world, not ccurting death, he met 1t
calmly, fearlessly, triumphantly, as only
christian can.
= kind and affectionate son and brother,
a devoted and true friend has gone from
among us, and many a sorowing heart to-
day mourns his loss. But in brighter,
better world than this, angel bands have
welcomed his ransomed soul to that haven
of perpetual peace and bliss, and already
he has heard the words "WeH done, thou
good and faithful servant /; enter thou into
the joys OF thy Lord"
Thou hast left US, RICHARD, We have
parted FOR all time; but we know that by
following in the footsteps thou hast left
behind, we nay meet thee in that land
where time is lost in eternity, and "where
parting is no more" j.

Mr.. SAM. HoDGsoN has, at his mar
bic yard in this city, some of the finest
specimens of marble work we have
ever seen. He employs good work
men and uses the best material both
home and foreign, and his work will
compare favorably with that of any
manufacturer in the country. Mr..
Hodgson's prices are no higher, if as
high, than those of northern and east
ern manufacturers. and parties pur-
chasing of him will save freights and
trouble. Call and see his work. and
we are sure you will agree with US that
there is no use in sending off after
marble work.
