BLACK INcESDIARIsM. = The Lew
istown Democrat says: "The Missionary
Herald, published at Charleston, s. c.,
is edited by Rev. Mr. Cain, colored,
who made speech at the dedication
OF the A. NJ. Il. Church in this place
about two years ago. In a recent is
sue of that journal, referring to the
killing of negroes at Hamburg, ap.
pears the following incendiary para
graph:
Remember that there are 50, 200 black men IN
this State who can bear Winchester rifles and
know how-to use them, and that there are 2O0,.
600 women who can light a torch and use the
knife.
The Herald is the religious organ Of
the South Carolina negroes, and is il
any wonder that such language should
produce bad feeling between the races,
and result now and then in open col
lisions, such as the Hamburg affair?

ATTACKING A SoLDIER.--Col. Fred.
Grant has been on visit TO his friends
in Chicago, tor several weeks past.
The Times, of that city, in speaking OF
this brave C2) soldier, says, "To see
Lieutenant Grant walking down State
street, switching a twenty-five cent
cane, fighting Indians and saving his
country, is one Of the noblest and mob
biest sights under the sun Fred is a
member of the Seventh Cavalry, which
was so badly used up by Sitting Bull
and his comrades. The pay Of the
dead soldiers is stopped, but Fred's
still goes on. But, then, he belongs to
blooded stock. His father is "the gov.

ALABAMA AND KESTUcKY.--Elec
tions were held in these two States OF
Monday the 9TH. The returns are yeI
very meagre, but we have enough tC
know that both will be Democratic
from the fact that we have increased
our majorities wherever heard from
showing that the tide is rolling in fa
vor of Tilden and Hendricks. Oul
friends in the former State put our ma
jority at 10000. Grant had 1890 il
1868, and lO,s2O in 1872, but the Dem
ocrats carried the State in 1874, by
$4,000, and are likely TO double thcs,
figures this year.

THAT REFORM HERDICT.

The Philadelphia Times, in alluding
to the acquittal of Belknap, says;
Judge Black was right. He knew
the Senate and the accepted standard
OF political integrity better than we
supposed, when he demanded the ac-
quittal of Belknap because he had done,
in q small way, what greater than he
did in great way, Had the distin.
gnished lawyer and advocate been be-
fore jury Of "the frosty sons Of thun-
DER away up in the glades of Somer-
set, where he once learned that law is
the perfection OF human reason, he
would not have made the speech he
did to the first legislative tribunal OF
the nation, He would have exhausted
the technicalities Of the law in defense
Of his client, but his respect for the in
herent integrity of his jury would have
forbidden the plea that little official
stealing is Of no moment and should be
pardoned because the highest officials
accept gifts with impunity as rewards
for official favors, We say that Judge
Black is right, lie understood his
court and gave Its members the argu.
mepts that best reached their judg-
ment. He made beautiful rhetorical
picture of our rulers as class OF band
cd gift-takers, and what is worse, he
proved it by the plain teachings oil our
present history. He made Senators,
who are the subordinates of executive
and ministerial power; tremble at the
fearful consequences of impeaching
great men Of high crimes and misde-
meanors in office after they have
resigned or otherwise retired from pub
lie trust, and right well did he drive
homo tho logic that pointed to the
possible conviction of greater than Bel
KNAPP, and the disgrace of Senators and
their partisan dependents by the de-
velopments of such trials. The Senate
listened with delight, and vindioated
the wisdom and professional skill Of
Judge Black by tho acquittal OF the
confessedly guilty Minister of War,
So, while the great trembled, the little
speculator in military posts is acquitted.
With single exception, that of the
blind Bourbon, Eaton, of Connecticut,
the votes for acquittal were devoted
friends of the new civil service reform
taught by Carl Schurz and Rutherford
B. Hayes"
