And now Bishop Ames, who has been
Outstanding Indians for some years back,
throws up the sponge and cOnfesses that
religion won't work until the thieves are
checked. To-dayhe rendered his resigna-
tion as a member of tie Commission to
negotiate with the Sioux Indians respect
in their surrender ofthe Black Hills cOun-
try. He mildly puts it to Delano on
account OF the lateness Of the sea-
son and the increased demand upon
his time made ~ his ecclesiastical
duties. The belief grows stronger among

tions will prevent Z successful teTminaliHn
of the labors u the Commission, and that
the miners occupancy Of the lands in spite
Of the military or the Indians will be the
PRACTICAL solution Of the veXed question.

Fred Douglass Explains Himself.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
In a letter Published to-day, Fred Doug
lass explains his Hillsdale speech. he
says that his purpose was not to advise the
coIored people to leave the Republican par
ty. He thinks the TIME may come when the
coloredp people OF the country may divide
their votes between the two great political
parties, which will be when their rights are
as safe in the hands Of one party as in those
Of the other. But the cOnsummation so
devoutlv TO be wished has not yet come TO
pass; in. his opinion. No c0lpred man, he
saws who reads Democratic newspapers,
listens 10 the debates in Congress, or studies
the tendencies Of respective parties, need be
told that the time has not COME 70 quit tire
Republican party and Join the Democratic

THE COLOR LINE IN ALABAMA.

Gen. Gordon, Of Georgia, made a
speech IA Alabama a few days since, IN
the course Of which, seing many col
ored men present, he turned to them
and asked:
Who Is It that for the sake Of retain
ING their hold on power poison the
minds IF the coloTed men against
their former masters and friends, and
with false promises control their votes
and keep up contentious and strife
between the races ? Who is 1t that IN

and herald abroad the Infamous crime
as the deed Of lawiess Democrats and

had democratic rule here IN Alabama,
and they have robbed you Of none Of

one IS a good government for the other;
the same sun shines above the black
man and the white man, and the
genial showers water alike the
soil Of the one and the other;
the SANE God rules above them
both, and they could live together in
peace but for the RaG-eals who antag-
Onize tire races. He called upon them

LYNNVILLE.


Since the rains this week our people
nave, to great extent, exchanged their
long gloomy faces and their winnings
ana grumblings about starvation, sc.
Tor cheerful Ooks, and talk only of the
prospects of bountiful harvest and plen-
ty to ego on
Present Indications are that the corn
crop gathered this fall will be decidedly
the largest for many years. We have
Just reaped an unusually abundant
wheat crop, most of which has been
stored away, or sold for fair price.
The rains have caused no damage to the
remnant still remaining in the fields /;
so taking general view of things it is
certainly not unreasonable to expect
better times" are almost here.
Wheat shipments here have been con-
sidererably augmented during the past
week and this brings US to speak of the
turnpilSe question so highly agitated
here year ago. Mr.. Jas Nance, of
Cornersville, was here a few days since,
ana told some of our merchants ''if that
pike had been built there was now no
less than fifty thousand bushels OF
wheat in Marshall county that would
be hauled over it, and shipped from
here," but for want of this road they
were forced to haul it from two to three
times as far and get t. market by way
OF ShelbyVille. We trust our County
Court viii consider the Importance OF
this matter and send Superintendent
Crow to look after it as soon as his gang
is of sufficient strength to Justify it. IL
seems that we have not eHterprising
spirits enough among us to build it our
selves.
Prof. Campbell will commence his
next session on the 10th of August and
continue five months. The universal
satisfaction expressed by all interested
in the two past sessions, and the highly
creditable manner in which their pupils
acquitted themselves at the closing ex-
ercises, attained for Mr.. Campbell and
his assistants the very highest reputa-
tlOns rs teachers.
1t is expected that more than hun
dred students will be in attendance
during the next term, and we would
advise those DESTROYS of sending, to
make their arrangements without delay,
as the school viii be filled up ea.ly in

We regret to chronicle the death of
Mrs. Ira Burnham, of Old Lynnville, on
the 18th inst. She was about sixty
eight years of age, and although not
member of any church had lived an

realized that she could not survive an
attack of cholera morbus with which
she had been suffering for several days,
she said that death had no terrors for
her and expressed her readiness to meet
her Master, She had one brother, Mr.
Shed Kellum, living in this place and
another living south of Pulaski.

Another Rape.

VIM. Conner, colored, was arrested
last Friday at the instance of Susie Bar
Der, white, and brought to town and
tried before Esq. Alternately on the
charge of having raped the latter.
They both live on Judge Jones' farm,
three miles west OF town. Susie Bar
Der lives with her brother-in-law, and
she says that on June 18th Conner
came to the house while she was there
alone, and with threats and menaces
compelled her to submit to his hellish
designs, and then told her that he
would kill her if she told it. She kept
1t until last week, and then had him
arrested. Constable ArrOwsmith made

not resist arrest and declared his limo

who Susie Barber was. 1.-The is guilty,
no punishment can be too severe for

CB- On Tuesday evening 18th, a
heavy rain storm passed oyer portion
of the county north of town, accom-
panied by destructive winds and light
ming. The latter struck the chimney
of Mai. Jno. GOrdon's residence near
Brick Church, tearing out the back and
knocking off one corner of his house.
The venerable Major was seated in his
door at the time, but felt no shock
The damage was slight. At some
places trees were uprooted and fences
blown down, but no lives lost, and at
others, the fields were washed very
badly. We learn that on the farm of
Mr.. Fortress the plowed ground was
washed away in some places 40 feet
wide, and whole shocks of wheat washed
out of the field. These perturbations
are getting to be too frequent, and we
are beginning to wish Prof. Tlce had
never introduced them.

UNIVERSITY OF THE SoUrH,)

SEwANEE, TENN. j uIy IA, '75}
EDITOR CTTIzEN-Dedr Sir. In a recent
issue of the Fayetteville RatchBaan, /
noticed an extract from the CITIZEN,
stating that "the Hornets of Fayetteville
had challenged the Sewanees of Cowan,
and that the Sewanees had backed down,
&C." Please allow me in behalf of the
University Nine to make an explana-
ton.
Soon after our nine played the Arc
ties of Lynchburg, we received chal-
lenge from the Hornets, to play them in
Winchester. As the challenged party,
replied that we would play them here
at any time they might select; that our
duties at the University prevented US
from leaving the mountain, but that we
would gladly welcome them here and
play them on our grounds. They re-
piled that they did not care to play us
here; that they wished to play US in
Winchester, so that the ladies there
could see the game. Surely this does
not deserve the criticism you have unin-
tentionally passed upon US; for the
Hornets did not say a word to us about
their "hOlding the bat," and only ap-
peared anxious to play in order to show
the good people of Winchester the tun.
As l mentioned before, our duties here
prevent Us from making the tour of the
State in order to play every village club
that sees fit to send us a challenge.
But be that as it may, allow me in be-
half of the University Nine to say that
we not only did not "back down" before
the Hornets, but that we are ready at
any time to play them or any other am
ateur club in the State, which will do us
the honor of becoming our guests for a
day or SO. We wish to make this pub
licly known for the benefit of any who
may wish to pay the mountain visit.
Sometime during the early part of
August next, after our examinations
are all over, we would be glad for the
Hornets to come up to SeWanee. We
will gladly welcome them and give
them ''the best we have" Respectfully,
f. a =, ORGAN.
Capt. University Nine.
