DOUBT.

has been the great bling block in the path of human progress. Never since the foundation of the world has there been anything proposed for the advancement of mankind in civilization, in the arts and sciences, or in the thou sands of things that have been developed to make man better, wiser and happier, but it has been opposed by the demon doubt There have been men in all ages who seemed to be born before their time. who had sort of pro- phetic vision of the dawn of some new truth or of some discovery or application of science which the common mind could not compre- bend, much less believe; and these advanced minds were met at every step by this demon, who has disputed their progress, not only by doubt and ridicule but by persecution in various forms. As late as 1882 Calico was thrown into prison and tried by the in- quisition for proclaiming the re- voIution of the earth, fact now known and admitted throughout the civilized word. But the old doubters couldn't see it and big oted church pronounced it heresy.
 When Fulton was making his grand experiments in demonsurat- ing the applicability of steam in propelling' vessels, he was met and opposed by flood of doubts, sneets and ridicule, and even pro- nOunced crazy. Bat he saw deep CT and further than the doubters were capable of seeing, and he tri- umphed. Now see the mighty result !! See the thousands of mo- ble steamers and floating palaces, navigating all the seas and navi- gable rivers of the world :! And coming down to our own time, what doubts met Morse in his ex- periments with the electric tele graph ? Only a few advanced minds could'admit that it was pos sible to harness the lightning Of Heaven and cause it to carry messages to all parts of the earth with the speed of thought! Most men thought the project was wis. ionary in the extreme. But Morse persevered and lived to see the grand result of his labOrs in the greatest and most benificent achievement in science that the world has ever seen And thus it has always been. Whenever any new thing has been proposed that cannot be comprehended by the common plOdding mind. it has had to stand the discourage ment of doubt and ridicule. We do not wish to be understood as encouraging credulity. A man should not believe everything he. hears, and should, never believe anything without evidences; but men should be careful how they throw doubts in the way of every thing just because they can't un- derstand it. Some men seem to be born doubters. They doubt everything that they do no actual ly see and some things that they do see. There is but one step be- tween the chronic doubter and the constitutional growler, and the step is an easy one and they are generally found embraced in one character. Some men pretend to doubt the existence of the mineral wealth of Arizona. This is partie- uIarly the case with the capita lists OfSan Francisco, though they have had plenty of evidence of it's existence. They would rath- or confine their operations to gam bling in Nevada stocks than to come out here and use some of their capital in helping to de-

The Feliciana Investigation.

The the congressional subcommittee o.
dered to investigate the outrages in East
Felicana, have finished their labors. Their
instructions limited them to the investiga-
ton of the affair that occurred at Laurel
Hill, near the Mississippi line, about the
middle of last month. Most of the wit
nesses were not available-they could not
be found, or were IN attendance upon the
Senate committee now sitting at Jackson,
Mississippi. The evidence taken by the
sub committee shows, however, that Aaron
son, the first man killed, had that day, with
others, whipped a colored man nearly to
death; that the persons shooting him were
unknown; that the following day the Regu
lators gathered in force, 500 or more, armed
and and and mounted, and caught and
hung from ten to thirty colored men,
all in Mississippi. There is no evidence to
show the men were hung for political
reasons, but it was shown that the Regu
lators are all white men and Democrats
The report of the sub. committee will moi
be made until the arrival of Messrs. Darral
and Gibson in Washington.

Captain Andrews, of the wrecking boats.
reports that there is no possibility of raising
the steamship Austin, lately sunk by col
l;sion with the wreck of the De Soto.
There is from fifty to sixty feet of water
over the hull, and too strong current to
work at that depth. and by the time the
current slacks she will be too full of mud
to attempt to raise.
The steamship Guillermo will arrive in a
few days from Havana to load for Liver
pool. while others of the same line will con-
tinue to eAil from here all summer, with the
present outlook.
Mr.. Riley, the courteous acting agent,
and Sam Donald, the stevedore, of the line
of which the steamers Haytian. Chiiian,
Jamaican and Andean are the most promi
nent steamships, leave on the Haytian on
Saturday for Liverpool. Their many friends
wish them most prosperous voyage and
safe return in the tall.
There is a rumor that the State line o.
steamships will resume their trips to thii
port early in the fall. The proprietors o
this line built their steamers expressly fo1
this trade, and their temperance at oul
| wharves will be hailed with great pleasure

How Worth Makes tho Woman.

Very many ladies of this city send regu-
larly to the great man dressmaker, Worth,
in Paris, for their dresses, both summer and
winter. Do not for moment suppose all
these women have seen Worth. The
greater proportion send a photograph
to him, with q description of the
complexion, the color of hair, eyes. etc. 1t
is not an lnfrequent occurrence to have the

this city relates how she went to Worth on
one occasion to have q number of dresses

New World for all that is best in the Cau.
casian civivilization of the Old, for there
Ia cultured Puritanism as we'll as gran
ite Puritanism. The African transplanted
also to America represents all there
is OF promise for Africa and Asia in
the future. Both Of these characters are
connected ineeparably with American re-
publicanism and popular self-government.
1t will thus be seen that the very personal
ity or individuality which the responsible
ties and activities Of free institutions in
volve and produce in the form of self
sustaining character, are the things needed
to protect all tropical races from cloth,
sensuousness and superstition. The negro
heads this character eupremely. These
forcee, allied to education and religious
freedom, will give this character. They
will transform the iileness of the tropics
into the energy which achieves snd repro
duces and perpetuates and propagates.
No man who studies the philosophy of his
tory and the movement of races even from
the natural standpoint can fail to be i'm
pressed with the tremendous power in
vOlved in the educational, industrial and
political alliance which now exists between
the Puritan and the negro. To the eye OF
faith it is as the word of power which will
not return void to him who sent it forth, but
VII accomplish that whereunto it is sent
No human power can break this alliance
Under the divine ordering it will surely dc
its appointed work, and an immediate part
of that work is to Americanize and repub

About the time of the assassination most
of the leading Republicans in the vicinity
of Coushatta received anonymous letters,
warning them to leave Immediately.
Mr.. Twitchell left COushatta last Sunday,
taking passage on the steamboat Durfee.
Hundreds of persons assembled to zee the
MANNED Senator carried on board, but there
was no demonstration. Four soldiers &C.
companied him as guard, for if Red river
men will 60 in squad and assassinate a
wounded man lying in hospital and riddle
him with bullets, it would not be stra nge if
that gang, or similar one, would murder
an armless man leaving his home. Only q
single incident occurred during the trip
the Durfee's clerk objected to the soldiers
being on the boat. However, the captain
overruled the clerk, and the soldiers re-
NAMED on board.
Mr.. Twitchell is we'll satisfied that there
are people in Coushatta who were cogniz-
ant of what was to transpire, and that
they understood that an arrangement had
been made to kill him. 1t ia we'll known
that the assassin remained in the village
several hours before he dyed his hands in
human blood, and while he was in black
smith shop two or three persons attempted
to penetrate his disguise. The story that
he was a stranger in that section is OF no
ettect-tne awful deed was committed there
| and the perpetrator was allowed to ride out
| of town unmOlested.
When two members of the congressional
committee, which lately held sessions in
this city, visited Coushatta to obtain testl
mony il this case they had a prepared list
| of questions. and of such singular char
acter as the Senator considered them, that
he asked them if they had really come tc
| try him because he did not die. 1t looked
that way to him, bat he answered theil
questions as well as he could. The commit
tee informed him that in case evidence wa
obtained derogatory to his character, ht
she uld have an opportunity to prove thu
contrary, but that promise was not kept
Both members left twenty four hours betor'
they had declared they would, and failet

Even the coroner who held the inquest OF
poor King, was not permitted to testify.
The above statements are accuratel,
given as Mr.. Twitcheli gave them to our re
porter. Some of the principal facts hav
been published before, but that does no
matter.
Mr.. Twitchell yesterday felt uncommonl
cheerful for a man who can not feed hin
self or even walk without assistance. On
of the bullets remains in his thigh and o.
casions considerable pain. He says that .
though he can not shake hands with frien
or foe, and that the doctors have to feel i
odd places for his pulse, he will hereafte
give more attention to his brain, his onl
source to earn a livelihood.
