never held a public Office, and never

ried the elections of 1875 and 1876, in
Mississippi, by intimidation-that is,
they threatened not to employ colored
men who should vote the Republican
ticket. The cOlored men are naturally
Republicans, and the only way to get
the Republicanism out of them is to
shoot it out. Where the Democrats
have control they seek to break down
leading Republicans by having them
unjustly indicted. Southern white
men as class are honorable and gen.
tlemanly, but they are Democrats, and
when they go out about election time
they leave their conscience at home.

County, Kansas, left that place for Kiowa,
Barbour County, with four wagons loaded
with corn. Not returning at the time they

they were murdered by Indians, and their

by the report that the remains of tour wagons
and harnesses have been found on the road
by hunters, and by the fact that party OF
Sioux passed through that section of the
country some time ago. A number of friends
OF the missing men have started out in search

days since of John McKeenan and wife, of Gin

of Miles Ogle tor manufacturing the same, has

by this means obtained possession of over one

them were plates for the manufacture of $40
notes on the banks at Richmond, Lafayette
and Muncie, Indiana. He also recovered
forty thousand counterfeit fifty cent pieces,
which were found buried near Brighton, a

Millionalres who have Died. and Men who

From the Utica Herald
The Fifth avenue is a grand array of
palitial mansions and has very pc r.
manent appearance, but the law of mu-
liability assertsits power here in very
impressive manner. Within year
three of its noted residents have been
carried to the grave. The trio refer
to is composed of William Blodgett,
William B. Astor and A. 7. Stewart.
The first and the last of these three were
patrons of art, but Astor was destitute
OF all aesthetic taste. The only pictures
that pleased his eye were the vignettes
on a greenback. lie owned nothing in
the line of beauty Of art. Earth had
nothing beautiful for him but
wealth. His remains lie in the family
vault at Trinity Cemetery, eight miles
from his former residence, while those
of Stewart are as yet in the tomb of
St. Mark Church awaiting the remov-
al to the Memorial Church at Garden
City.
In addition to this, there are others
social changes to be noticed as making
this year in a peculiar manner. The
death of Stewart occurred shortly after
that of AaronI ARNOLD, of'theigrandih ouse
OF Arnold, Constable & Co. These
men were rivals in trade. and having
for half life time commended for the
mastery, they go to the tomb almost
in the same week. Elisha Brooks is
also among the dead of this year.
Thus three of the Broadway establish
ments have each lost it's head. Then
look at the bankruptcies of the once
leaders Of finance, such as Jonston,
Daniel Drew, Edward Mathews, and
others that might be mentioned, which,
though once great, now only serve to
point moral and adorn a tale.

obtain the Black Hills travel next summer.
DR.. Burleigh, of Yankton, is preparing to run

that arrangements have beer made to ticket
the gold seekers through from st. Louis and

about forty dollars.
