The Color Line In Africa.

WASHINGTON, December 27.-In-
formation has been received from
Liberia stating that several of the
native tribes encouraged by the snc-
ce 30 of tho Geilero tribe near Cape
Palmas, made an attack recently on
the settlers in another part Of
Liberia, but we're vigorously re-
pulsed. A. private letter says that
the peace Of the republic is some
what disturbed by the question of
color. President Roberts is much
embarrassed on this account the
fact of his not being of pure African
blood being very Objectionable to
many. An Intelligent negro from
the West Indies is the principal
egitating spirit who seeks to
establish q political color test, taking
the side Of the blacks against those
of light complexion. The more
orderly of tho Liberians would re
ioice if they could be relieved OF the
leader in this course OF mischief.

Strong Donunciation.

There is hardly . moro ultra
radical journal IN tho. country than
Horper's Wee&ly Ever since 1861
1t has been profuse in it's structures
upon Southern men, Southern ac--
tlons and Southern opinions, South
Carolina coming in for a very liberal
share. But it cannot stand the
election of Moses and Whipper TO
tho bench. It says '"rhe whole
party must tnko the consequences.
Even II the alternative be the ro-
storation Of the ox-rebal and necro.
hating democracy, honest. men, low
over rcgretfuIly, must admit that
such result is preferable to tie

Is virtual contiscation and. robbery

1ron every respectable journal,
democratic, republican or

pressed i'll no mild terms. Repub-

the lnfamy: it is so plain to every. I
honest man that any attempt at

are plain to every thinking. porsor
IL Is useless, as it is impossible, to
disguise the fact that we have
reached in State affairs q crisis more
lraught with interest and importance
than any through which we have vot
been called to pass. TO meet these
issues, to pass safely and triumphant
through this crisis, will require a a
degree OF determination and sagacity
which our people have never vot
been called upon to exercise. To

Governor Chamberlain, of South
Carolina, gives. O. purely technical
reason for his refusal to sign
the commissions of the newly
elected circuit judges, Moses and
Whippcr. But there is sufficient
ground for sapposing that he was
glad to find any plausible excuse
for his course. Thut the election of
these two mon is, to quote tho
Governors wol Is, 80 horrible dis
aster," is obvious. Moses needs no
description he has national
notoriety. Wmpper is a prominent
negro, politician, who has been re-
peatedly accused by men of both
parties of frauds on the treasury,
md who was publicly charged by
Governor Chamberlain with being
dishonest and incapable. If half the
accusations made against these mon
are true, their elevation to tho bench
Of the State is most disgraceful.
CHron,thenDoslom Globo, Rep.1 r
The single case in which South
ern State has esonped from abomina-
BILE misgovernment without over
throwing "Radical rule" is that OF
South Carolina. After q series OF
ridiculous and shameful burlesuuef
on State administration, the better
clements united in support of Mr.
Chamberlain, o republican and q
man of Northern birth, who mas
proved, ,t0 DO what the best of re
publicans are in the North. His
administration has been .-,one o.
thorough reform, honesty aud eff
cheney but there is danger thai
South Carolina cannot maintain tn
position which. she, has succeeded il
gaining. The recent election of ex
Gov. Moses and Mr.. Whipper a,
circuit judges indicates that the ole
influences are still at work trying t.
pull the State back into it's degrade
ton. We wish, for the sake of tn,
republicans, that it were otherwise
:, but we are forced to the conclusio,
, that at present it is better for tn
Southern States to have the conser
vasives in the ascendancy. The,
may be wrong in some of their view
on national questions, but they Civ
the States far better local govern
ments; than they have ever had from
republicans, " sa5.'

Rain Once In Five Years.

The tract of country known rs
the State Range Valley is probably
one Of tho most curious that South
orn California can boast Of, It is
there the. Immense deposits of borax
were discovered something like q
year ago and ut the time the whole
lower or central part of that basin
was covorod witha deposit, breaking
away in some places in large soda
reefs, in others resembling the
waves of tho ocean, md in still
others stretching out for miles in
one unbroken level, from which the
sun reflected it's rays with q glare
almost uncomfortable. But, one Of
the most singular features in con-
nection with this district was tho
absence of rain or moisture. The
days were very sunny and hot, and
the nights we're without dew, and
generally warm. For more than
five years, it is said by those who
claim teknow, there has been no
rain there, Until some three months
back the spell was broken. Sudden.
ly, and with scarce any warning, rain
commenced to fall, and INCREASINGLY,
unaccompanied 3aby wind, but q
thorough, drenehing rain. For
two or three days it remained pleas.
ant, when suddenly water spout
was seen vending its way through
the valley. The ravines and gorge,
were so9h filed with water, which
