MIR. SMALLEY writes to the New
York Tribune from Alabama that
the two races are getting along bet
ter together in that State than at
any time since the war. The whites
have got the upper hand in the gov
eminent and mean to keep it, and
the negroes have settled down to
that as inevitable, and are making
themselves comfortable. In every.
thing except politics the negro has
all his rights, and is as well protect
ell as the whites. He sues a white
man in the courts with as good a
prospect of justice as the white has,
indeed better, since the sympathy
Of the court is on his side, as the
weaker party. His money is as
good as anybody's, and the whites
readily sell land to him. The school
fund is apportioned with impartial
ity, and there are two State normal
schools for colored teachers, besides
one supported by Northern contri-
buttons, while there is but one nor
nal school for whites.

The order issued by President
Hayes, forbidding the interference
of Government officers in elections,
further than to give their own votes,
is in substance the reclamation of
an executive order issued by Presi'
dent Harrison during the single
month of his administration. That
order General Harrison said he is.
sued to check the influence of the
Executive in controlling the free.
dom of the elective franchise thro'
the medium of public officers. Gen.
Harrison added: "Never with my
consent shall an officer of the peO-
pie, compensated for his services
out of their pockets, become a phi.
ant instrument of executive will
This and a similar prohibition pub
ished by jefferson, are the only
precedents for this remarkable Or

DENVER, Col, Sept. 27.-Mr. Co.
nant's discovery of the petrified miss
ing link, or statue of ancient man,
was yesterday exhibited for several
hours. Crowds poured in and gazed
with varied emotions upon the giant,
as he lay ON his back ON board, en-.
circled by a sound, temporary fence,
to keep hands from injuring him.
Professor Semper, of Wnrtemburg,
Germany, says he does not believe the
figure to be Of archaeological origin,
nor petrifactiOn, and says in fossil
ferrous remains generally ii is easy to
trace the outline between the bone
and flesh, the substance connecting
the joints being different from the
substance on the body, aud there is
more difference between the sub.
stance on the body and limbs and
that connecting them than is found in
the substance connecting the legs, for
instance. The remains should be
more shrunken, aud, if a petrifaction.
should have hair. DR.. Dennison SAYS
one arm from the elbow to the wrist
is longer by an inch than the other.
The arm is out of proportion to the
legs; also the neck, hips and head
are not proportional. The abdomen.
high in dead persons, falls to a level
with the hips. The substance is said
to dissolve in nitric acid.
The majority think it is a piece of
statuary or clay image ofvery ancient
origin. Semper says the head is SIM
liar to the heads of the ancient Az
tees. 1t is certainly great curiosity,
and, if not fraud, more wonder.
full, awe-inspiring figure. If it is a
petrified human body. the four inches
of tail will go far to sustain Darwin's
theory and supply the missing link"

Geo. G. Wright, made at Des Moines,

There has no doubt been a mistake
about demonetizing the silver dollar.
There was great deal of fuss made
shout this, and it was made without
reason. The democracy long years
ago demonetizcd the subsidiary coin
ALI small change under 81, which
was not legal tender in sums Of more
than IS. The mistake was in drop
ping the old Spanish mill dollar out
OF circulation. There was not a sim
gle democrat in Congress who did
not vote for characterization, and vet
they now set up hue and cry, and
claim that the republicans demone-
fixed silver; and it was singular that
wc did not hear anything about the
matter for years after, until now
when they expect to make capita
out Of the mistake which all made
and every republican member Of Con
gress from Iowa, and both Senators
are pledged on the record to vote fol
the recti1ication of that mistake.
Why are democrats pretending te

MASN York QanvAnHlnn

New York, Oct. 1.-The Herald,
introducing an interview with promi-
nent republicans, says the action of
the convention at Rochester, in plac.
ing the republican party of this State
in antagonism to the Southern policy
and the civil service order of tho adj
ministration seems to have resulted
in vitalizing the Numbering energies
of the Presidents friends in this city
and in rallying around him COM
pact and influential party. If the
views of the gentlemen who make
up the Union League Club at their
headquarters may be taken as q cri-
tcrion of the sentiments and sympa-
thies of the republican party in this
State, Senator Conkling's triumph
will be of short duration. They are
almost unanimous In their condem-
nation of the Rochester convention
generally, and of the obstructionist
policy adopted by Senator Conkling,
particularly. The pacification of the
South and the civil service reform
will now, they say, become the shib-
boleth of the republican party. 1t is
plain to be seen that Mr.. Conkling
will find ed against his course al
the approaching mass meeting, ma
j0rity of the strongest republicans in
this city.
