EVENT and COMMENT

Senators Morton, Cameron, Chand-
Ter, and Patterson, accompanied 10y
Col. Tom Scott and Ex-GOy. BIoEn'
have gone TO Mexico. IT is SAD the
object OF the expedition il to readJust
the map Of that unhappy republic, so
that huge slice is to be IN some way
seized, for the glory Of the present
administration in general, ana the
Pennsylvania Railroad in particular.

The colored members Of the Va.
Legislature have called convention
Of the colorcd people Of the State, to
assemble In Richmond on the 18th Of
August next. They state that the
colored people are five hundred thou

tion of the State, and that yet they
have not a newspaper.

%. ANTI-CIvIL RIGHTs.-Ths new
law in regard to hotels, restaurant and
places OF public amusement, simply
abrogates the common law and allows
persons who engage in such business
to receive or refuse guest, st their OPP

There are other general laws but
these are the most important. The
legislation of the session will disap-
point many, and offend many more.
But it is the best could be done, and
better than the average of such bodies.
The majority of the members of both
Houses were good men and worked
day and night-wOTked hard and dis
interestedly. Many OF them are now
sincerely anxious that others with
more pretensions should try it in 1876.
IMPORTANT BILLS THAT FAILED
Among the important bills that fail
Ell to pass were the local option bill,
railroad discrimination bill, Sunday
liquor bill. and what is known as the
Flippin bill, which gave magistrates
exclusive original jurisdiction to try
all misdemeaBor cases of fraudulent
appropriation of property under S25.
There was q considerable paFliameuta-
ny wrangling over this last named bill
in the House but it at last failed to
reach the Senate in time to be enroll
ed Bills to repeal the funding act,
conventional rate Of interest law, to
prevent State officers from making
loans to meet temporary necessities of
State government, also failed.

GENERAL: Ia reply 20 your qnes-
lion. "Wh2t do you know of the
Black Hills?' | respectfully submit
the folloBingrema Ny frst knowl-
edge Of tie Black Hills was derived
from an interview with the late
Father Desmct, n noted Catholic
missionary, whom | met many
years ago on the Columbia River, il
Oregon, from whom | heard an In>
dian romance of a mountain Of gold
in the Black Hills, and hia eXplana-
tion Of hateXtraordinary aud deiusive
story Of tie Indians, frontjersmen
and explorers Of the Black Hills coun-
try is much more extensive than that
particular locality brought to the
notice of the public by the recent
explorations Of General Custer, and
gets its name fiom the black scrnbby
character Of the timber which grows
on the sides and tops of the noun
tains and hills, 1t comprises the
whole of the country bounded Oh the
east by longitude l02 deg on the
south by the Sweet Water and
Laramie rivers. on the west by the
Big Horn and Wind River. and on
the north by the Yellow Stone River.
This is really the country of the
Black Hills, Dut embraced in it are
several localities called Black Hills
for instance Black Hills of Laramie,
Black Hills of Powder River and
B ack Hills Of Cheyenne River. the
latter being the locality in which
Gen. Custer made his reconnaissance
last summer and about which there
is so much speculation at the present
time, and within the bounds Of which
it is supposed by a large number of
people is to be found Father DesmetS
mountain Of gold. Father DesmerS
story was that while living with the
Sioux Indians he was shown by them
nuggets of gold, which, they inform
ed him. had been obtained at different
points in the Black Hills. Supposed
to be from the beds Of the Big uorn,
Rosebud and Powder rivers and from
branches of the Tongue River, and
on his representing that such yellow
metal was of great value, they told
him that they knew where mountain
of it was to be found. Subsequent
investigation, however, proved that
the Indian mountain Of gold was
nothing more than a for nation of
yellow mica, such as may be found in
IA number IF places in the above
described country. 1 had scarcely
given the story a thought after this

TALK ABOUT YOUR GIRLS Your Ida
Lewises and your other Aquatic heroines,
they are nothing by the side of our genuine
District of Columbia production. The re-
port of the boat race on the Potomac yes
terday, printed elsewhere, graphic and
faithful as it is, fails to do justice to the
rowing of Miss Blau. Although she lost
the race through no fault of her own, or,
perhaps, on account OF the lack of skill on
the part of her fellow oarsmsn, she exhib-
tied quality of pluck and healthy muscu-
lar development which speaks well for
both her mental and physical training.
The gallant manner in which she was re-
ceived, both before and after the race, at
tests the high personal regard entertained
for her by the several boat clubs present.
as well as the public generally, and the
earnest sympathy provoked by her defeat
will serve, we hope, to stimulate her to
further exertion. Her example should re-
suit in popularizing the exercise and
amusement of boat-rowing among the sex,
and we may reasonably expect that be-
fore long, in these quiet summer evenings
or in the cooler ones to come, the Growing
ground" on our noble river will be made
doubly attractive by the presence of an in
creased number OF oarswomen. Hoopla, for
Miss Blau!

and disgraceful vilifcation, we may expect
them to flourish with their ill-gotten gains
aud escape the disreputable fate they so
richly merit. Respectable people, how
ever. can do something in the direction of
discouraging the circulation Of their papers
by refusing to subscribe for or buy them.
And when they succeed through the cor
rupt manipulation of the courts in avoiding
trial for atrocious libel as Dana has done,
the effort to secure their punishment should
be redoubled. As the wantons OF the
streets are supported by the depraved ele-
ments of society, these men also get their
sustenance from similar source; but the
good of the entire community demands
that they shall be pursued to punishment
as it also requires the suppression of ply
steal forms of prostitution and immoral in
fluences of all kinds. Let this be under
stood generally as the feeling of the more
respectable classes, and the result will soon
follow that the slanderers will be Stunned
and avoided in public by those who would
enjoy the respect of their neighbors, as so
many common bawds or journalistic street.

Mr.. JUSTICE WYLIE yesterday ordered
the release of John Frawner, charged with
the murder of Thomas Kennard, on his
entering his own recognizance in the sum
of $4,000 for his appearance. The state
ment of counsel, the love letters of Ken
nard, and the testimony of the few wit
nesses examined impressed the judicial
mind with the belief that no jury in the
world would convict the accused, and for
that reason he turned him loose in the
community. The Judge must have pred.
icated his opinion in the matter upon the
generally accepted idea that no American
jury will convict a man of murder who
shoots down the seducer of his wife. TAX
ing this view of the case, is it not rather
strange that the Judge should have volun-
tarily, and without precedent, assumed the
peculiar and chivalric notions of the aver
age juror, and forgotten what his duties in
the premises are? AS it is, however, the
United States will be saved the expense of
a trial, the public the inaiction of lot Of
scandal, Mrs. Frawner will get husband,
Mr.. Frawner will get wife, and probably
they will live happily together. As they
and the Judge have arranged it thus, it is
to be hoped the ghost of Kennard will not
interfaro
