What to do With the South.

There is probability that before
the winter is over there will be seen
something Of u change in the policy
Of the administration toward the dis
ordered districts in the South. Not
only the President but every other
sensible person in the North has grown
very weary Of the long and CHASTITY
series of butcheries that. have been
perpetrated against the negroes by
the White Leaguers, and no one need
be greatly surprised to see some more
vigorous measures taken before long
if the troubles do not cease. There
are now in the South two Congress
sional committees, charged with in
vestigatiDg the political condition Of
Louisiana and the causes Of tht. re-
cent massacre at Vicksburg. Before
those committees left Washington the
President sent to the members COM
posing them personal request to call
ut the White Honse. This they did
separately, and had an earnest inter-
view with the President. He told
them Of his anxiety to see the South
ern people pacified, and to that end
his desire to learn the exact truth
about the situation there, and just
how far either side had been to blame
for the disastrous occurrences of the
past year. Many of the members of
Congress, including Mr.. Hurlbut of
Illinois, who is on the Vicksburg COM
mittee, are of opinion that it is absurd
to expect Congress to keep the army
patrolling the South aud unless the
disorders cease it will be best to re-
mand two or three of the most dis
contented States to a territorial form
of government. The Presidents idea
is to put Gen. Terry in command of the
Department OF the South, leaving Gen.
Emory in command of Louisiana, and
to exercise closer watchfulness over
the White Leaguers than has hitherto
been done. 1t is apparent tO him that
the whites in Mississippi, Louisiana
and Georgia are too we'll organized
and armed to be either peaceable or
just. As the report of the Vicksburg
and New Orleans committees will un
doubtedly have strong influence in
determining the future policy of the
government toward the South, those
reports will be awaited with especial
! interest.-Cleueland Leader.

DRowyED.-The frcshct in Georges
Creek on Wednesday, was attended
by sad case of drowning at Ocean.
A Young son Of Mr.. P. Morgan, of
that place, returning from school
with some ofhiS mates, had to cross
the creek on a narrow foot-bridgc to
reach home. The swift Running
stream rendered crossing extremely
dangerous, even for . man Of steady
nerve, and gentleman who saw the
boys about to cross, volunteered TO
assist them. Taking one of the boys,
be had conducted him nearly all the
way across, when hearing cry be-
hind him he turned to see young
Morgan in the sccthing stream, being
carried swiftly down with no hope
of rescue, Us his young lifemust have

ANOTHER CHARLIE Ross FoUsD.-
Our popular landlord of the Hinton
House believes that he has the veri-
table Charlie Ross. Sometime since
q very gcntccl looking lady stopped
at the Hinton House, and brought
with her a little boy, which the wor-
thy landlord supposed was her son.
She was assigned room which she
occupied, taking the child with her.
Nothing occurred to arouse any sus-
picion, until the next morning, when
the lady failed to put in an appear
ancc at breakfast. After waiting a
reasonable time, servant was sent
to her room, who soon came back and
reported the lady gone, but the little
boy still tucked away in bed. A
searchwas made, but no clue to the
missing visitor could be had. The
little Ei!ow gave his naaeas Charlie,

a West Virginia Cousin of the
President EroEilHG With = ?lncc.

\ special from Washington 70 the
New York Herald says:
A pleasing discovery has been
made at the White House. 1t was
thought, not only by the Senate and
members of the Cabinet, as well as
the country at large, but also as fur
rs is known, by General Babcock,
that the last one of General Grants
relations had been some time ago
provided viii. :: satisfactory Office.
Under these circumstances the ad-
ministration Was compelled to fall
back upon the Presidents friends,
beginning naturally with the older
and more intimate ones. Within 4
few days, however, 4 new cousin has
turned up. His name is TompkinS.
His family live near Charleston,
West Virginia, where the President
made them 4 brief visit last yea.
Mr.. Charles c. Tompkins was not at
home at that time, and this accounts
perhaps, for his delay in seeking the
pcrqutsitc Of his kinship. Also, he
may have spent some OF the inter-
vcning time in looking through the
registers and over the map to find 4
proper place. lie has now, however,
made q choice, and has been appoint
cd United States Marsh&lin Colorado.
Lest it should be supposed that this
kinsman has hitherto been entirely
neglected, it may as well be added
that under the rule Of NJ. Shepherd
he was interested in street contracts
in WrShirT.nn

10 the Senate OF the ta'tcd states:
Herewith | have the honorto send,
in accordance with the resolution of
the Senate Of the Sd inst, al the in
formation in my possession not here
toforc furnished relative to affairs IN
the State of Arkansas. l will ven
turc TO express the opinion that all
the testimony shows that in the elcc-
ton of 1872 Joseph Brooks was law
fully elected Governor Of tina: State;
that he has been unlawfully dcpriv-
ed of the possession Of his Office since
that time; that in 1874 the coastruc-
ton Of the State was by violence, in
tinlidation and revolutionary pro
ceedings orcrthrown and i new con-
stitution adopted and new State
Government established. These pro
cccdings, if permitted to stand, prac-
tically ignore all the rights ofminor-
tiles in all the States. Also what is
there to prevent each OF thc STATES
recently re-admittcd to Federal rcla-
tons on certain conditions from
changing their constitutions and
violating their pledges if this action
in Arkansas is acquicsced in? l re-
spectfully submit whether precc-
dent so dangerous to the stability Of
State government, if not Of the Nat
ional Government also, should be
recognized BY Congress. | earnestly
ask that Congress will take definite
action in the matter to relieve the
Executive from acting upon qucs-
tons which should be decided by the
legislative branch Of the Govern
mcnt.

The Kentucky delegation was
clearly wrong in allowing John
Young Brown to receive the repri-
mand of the Speaker. Hiscxpulsion
would have been followed by his In
slant reelection. There are occas-
ions when discretion is not the best
policy. The House was guilty Of q
partisan mcanneSs when it gave its
vote of ccnsurc. That the kentucky
Congressman was out OF order will
not be denied. But there is not a
day when the Democratic side is not
forced to submit TO unprovokcd, graf
uitous, gross and cowardly outrages
which Mr.. Blaine never thinks Of
chccking.-CoWicr Journal.

with all these operations in the Bis

well and end badly.
