1t is strange that there are so many
idle colored persons in our vicinity,
when they get better wages here fol
work than they can get almost any
where else. In Louisiana we know
they get only so cents a day, and in
adjoining counties to Franklin seventy.
five cents is the highest price paid
common laborers per day. Here they
want "a dollar u day." and will not
work for less. A little starving would
be in good order.

The newspapers Of the country have been
outspoken in their denunciation of the naval
contractor Nat Mckay, who with two hirelings
assaulted Col. A. X. Mcclure in Philadelphia,
few days since. The Wilkes Barre Record Of
tie Times is the solitary defender Of Mckay
and very proud it must feel thereat The Rec
ord speaks of Mcclure as "persistently sour
rious journalist for whom few will have any
sympathy, and expresses the opinion that the
general verdict will be that "t served Mcclure
right" 1t also speaks of"a black eye and
sundry other damage" and the "thrashing" re-
ceived by the editor OF the Times which is
news indeed, as McKay's throat grasped by
McClure's vigorous aand shows the only mark
of damage from the encounter The Record
has not added to its reputation by its defence
of man who by his brutal assault proved him
self both a w-breaker and a coward We are
glad to know that the universal sentiment OF
the papers and the people is that Mckay de-
serves nothing but execration. He could have
taken no better way to prove that McClure's
charges against him were true
