The South and the Election,

Governor Kellogg of Louisiana, who is
on visit to New York city, observes that
an unusual apathy exists at the south in re-.
gard to the pending presidential election.
lie said the local governments in that sec
ton were the chief bones of contention, and
no one could conceive of the extreme
greediness for office that prevailed ali
through the south. He said "The ne.
groes were as devoted as ever to the repub-
lican party. 1t means to them as fully
as it ever did the continuation in power of
their friends, and the perpetuation OF those
principles on which, in their opinion, their
rights as citizens depend. If northerner,
unfamiliar with southern politics were to
go south, he would hear a great deal said
about division in negroes votes. Louisi-
ana democrats would tell him that they are
going to carry the state election with the
help Of the'colored voters Now that is all
bnncombe; it is preposterous. At the re-
cent democratic state convention at Baton
Rouge the managers nominated ticket
composed of white men, without single
colored man upon 1t, and furthermore, q
majority of the nominees, in Importance

ticket IS going to be supported by colored

imam white voters in the state, and fIey

A Utah Divorce Swlndle.

A Vermont woman, wishing to obtain a
divorce from her husband, and not wishing
to have anybody know anything of it,
wrote to Chicago lawyer who advertised
to get divorces on account of incompati-
bility, of temper, etc. The lawyer offered
to get the divorce in this case for S75 in 90
days, the money to be deposited In bank,
from which she must take certificate
showing that fact, and STIMULATING that the
money should be paid him on receipt of
the divorce. She complied with his wishes
and, within the stated time, came paper
purportins to be divorce granted by
probate court in Utah. Neither party had
ever been in Utah. The woman, however,
before allowing the money to leave the
bank, concluded that she had better confer
with lawyer at home in regard to the va
lidity of such divorces, and she was in
formed by the lawyer consulted that the
divorce obtained in Utah was good for
nothing; that the court had no jurisdic-
ton of the parties, and the divorce was not
worth so much as blank. BY this timely
advice she saved her $75.
