quite equal to that made by any

1t will be much better for them to
acknowledge Hampton. They need
not be Democrats to do this. just
as democrats in 1874 acknowledged
that Chamberlain. defeated Greene,
30 Republicans now sacrifice no
party principle by acknowledging,
what they all must know, that
Hampton defeated Chamberlain in
1876. Chamberlain, ,y holding out,
is merely trying to: continue strife
between whites andT. blacks. Every
one had better abandon him.
BODY REcovERED.-The body of
Mr.. Wawra, a young German tailor
who mysteriously disappeared from
Columbia some days ago.. was found
caught in tho limb Of tree which
projected from an island in the
Congaree river, about two and a
half miles below the city. The
body was much discomposed, and
was disfgured to such an extent as
to render identification almost inn
possible, except by the clothing and
the articles in the pockets. The
generally accepted theory of the
suicide is that the deceased slew
himself in consequence of the un-
favorable result of love affair.
Some Of his friends, however, seem
to believe that he was foully dealt
with. No marks were found on the
body, beyond those which would
result from its being bruised against
the rocks and driftwood in the river.

Governor Hampton gave thirty
days reprieye few days since in
Aiken to colored man who had
killed white man and was convict
ed OF murder by a colored jury and
recommended to mercy. The man 8
lawyer claimed to have discovered
some new testimony that would
acquit him, and Governor Hampton,
in spite of the wishes of the whites,
gave him the thirty days to investi-
gate tho matter. This is giving
equal rights to colored people. The
colored persons should take notice.

BARGAIN AND SALE.

Truly these are times of bargaining and
huckstering. The present Administration
rests on so insecure foundation that it is
obliged to truckle to the wishes of greedy
politicians, to secure any support. The
Louisiana Commission is a jobbing arrange
ment and there is deal of dckering now
going on TO endeavor to elect Speaker of
the House, in accord with the Administra
ton. This is sought to be done by promises
of certain Southern internal Improvements
notably the Texas Pacific r. R., and by the
promise of Offices, 1t is thought that in thi.
way sufficient strength can be obtained by tht
votes of Southern Democrats to elect either
some such man as Garfield or a Southern
man who will render guid pro quo, in tn.
formation of Committees. We do not be
lieve the effort VIII be successful, but
should it at length succeed, those ira
ding politicians by whose aid it will be &C.
complished, will do well to look for theil
pay Those who descend to such method
to gain their ends are rarely prompt in dis
charging their debts.

A NEW COAL COMBINATION.

On Monday last the following coal carriers
and miners met in New York to ADOPT a
schedule for the present year: Presidents
Gowen, of the Reading Railroad Samuel
Sloan, of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad President Dickson, of
the Delaware and Hudson Canal Ompany 4;
Receiver Clark, of the Lehigh and Wilkes
Barre Coal Company Receiver Lathrop, OF
the Central Railroad of New Jersey; DR..
Linderman, of the Lehigh region, and Mr.
Thomas, of Schuylkill Valley.
The report of the committee as to the ton.
mage agreements was unanimously adopted
1t was decided to advance the price of coal
fifty cents per ton on June l, as owing to
large amounts contracted for delivery during
April and May it was deemed imprudent to
make general advance at this time. |,
was also agreed that no contracts for deliy.
cries of coal at fixed prices shall be made
dating after May 81.
@At previous meeting the exsent of pro.
duction was limited to 5000, 900 tons, a con
siderable falling off from last year, and tn,
percentage of each corporation was fixed
and now the rates are advanced fifty cent
pr ton. 1t tr mains then to be seen whethe
tne terms of this agreement will be adhere,
to, and whether each corporation will refrai
from exceeding its percentage of production
We must confess we have but little faith il
the binding effect of the agreement, nor

SONE APPOINTMENTS.

Mr. Hayes is aiding Mr.. Schurz in his ef-
forts to carry out reforms in the service, and
Mr.. Schuz must BE- highly delighted WI h
some Of the recent appointments made by
Mr.. HAYES McLin has been sent to New
Mexico as Judge, and McLin's reform quail
ifications are that he served as chief of the
Florida Returning Board and stole the votes
of that State for Hayes. New Mexico will
doubtless be proud of him and Florida will
cheerfully part with him.
Another good appointment is that Of
Humphreys to be Collector of Pensacola.
This accomplished gentleman assisted in
stealing the vote of Florida, He was Mas
sachusetts man and served in the rebel army;
after the war he was Democrat and then a
Republican. He held five offices under the
State government and was accused Of stealing
in two of them. He lied to Grant and was
kicked out Of office. Mr. Hayes was inform
ed of the fellows character and that noble
champion of reform, with answering fidelity
to his announced principles, immediately y
made Humphreys Collector of Pensacola.
That is the kind of reform Fraudulent Pre-
sideut may be expected to carry out.

A Righteous Decision.

The agent of sewing machine company
had sold machine to person in Brooklyn
on what is known as lease" The pay
ments under such sale are to be made by
installments, but the machine is only 'leas-
ed" to the purchaser, the payments are des-
ignated "rent," and when default is made
if even on the last installment, the agent
steps in, reclaims the machine and retains
all the money that has been paid upon it.
This one-sided bargain is cheat on its face
and besides, large addition is generally
made to the honest price of the machine
when thus sold on time. In the Brooklyn
case the purchaser had paid eighty dollars,
when, failing in meeting an installment, the
machine was seized and carried of by the
agent The victimized purchaser brough,
suit to recover the amount he had paid
Judge Gilber. Immediately directed the not
unwilling jury to give the plaintiff a verdict
for the full amount with interest. The
counsel for the company pleaded for delay
"Not an instant" was Judge Gilberts reply
This is treating these sharp dealers to lit
tie of their own medicine. "Not an instant
is their reply when a purchaser asks fol
time. The Brooklyn decision will probably
encourage number Of persons who hav,
lost both their money and machines by sucf
sharp practice to attempt to recover eithe
the one or the other-N y. Herald.

R0BESON AGAIN.

Mr.. Thompson, the new Secretary of the
Navy seems TO be in earnest in his effolts to
clean out the Navy Department. He has dis
missed number of Robesons employees,
stopped work on the iron clads and seems de-
termincd to get at the bottom of things gen
orally. He has just discovered that the
amount of money in the Treasury appropria-
ted for the pay of the navy is insufficient for
the payment of officers for the months Of
April, May and June. Robson has Of course
taken this appropriation and put it where it
would do somebody some good-but not those
for whom it was intended. This sort of thing
was quite usual with Robeson-he did not seem
to understand what the word appropriation
in the legal sense means. Ofcourse it was all
right to allow his officers to go without pay
for three months, and put few more bolts
in an iron clad. 1t seems TO us that such
outrageous disregard Of law ought to be pun
ished. Perhaps Robeson didn't steal this
money, but the officers Of the navy, who will
have to go without pay for three months, dc
not probably see much difference.

Wendell Phillips recently made speech in
Philadelphia, oisuch an outrageous and abu-
sive character,a as to call forth general ex-
preston Of Indignation from all parts Of the
country But it seems that there are some peo
nle who like that sort of thing, for it is stated
that number of prominent colored cti.
zens Of New Orleans" have requested Phil
lips to hold forth in other places 1t would
be interesting to know exactly what political
or social views are held by those "ppninen,
darkies, that they are 90 anxious to have re
peated speech filkd to overfowing with Bit
terness, ia schools and vitup ration Dc
they imagine for moment that Phllips and
such a. he if there be any. can advance the
interests Of their race in any way? IF So
they greatly mistake Phillips has no fol.
lowers; the day has gone by, we trust fol
ever, when any body of men will follow the
teachings Of one whose whole life has been
devoted to public scolhng an to nothing else
Phillips is blot on the civilization of to-day
and such harangues as he INDUCED in at
Philadelphia are simply disgraoefal to the
age. If he were worthy Of notice at all, a
good horse-whip would seem to be the best
answer to his abuse. Such language as he
uses might very well prove dangerous to the
public peace in the mouth of any one bu

THE LOUISIANA CoMMISSNN.

No conclusions have been reached BY the
FIVE gentlemen who have gone to New Or
leans, and nobody expects them to decide
anything, Their instructions az drawn up
by Mr.. Evarts were of the most hazy and
nebulou4 description, but the real object of
their visit, as at present pretty generally ac-
cepted, is to so patch up matters as to secure
two Republican United States Senators and
allow Nichols to have the State. A very
neat little arrangement which 10 much easier
Of conception than of execution. 81 grave
question should not be settled by political
Juggling, and the people of Louisiana are
not likely to make any btunder OF the kind.

not authorized by law it represents nobody
except, perhaps, Mr.. Hayes, and it possesses

The people have no confidence 10 them, and
they serve no good purpose nor attain any
