Senator Bruce, cold, of Missis-

Senator Bruce, cold, of Missis-
sippi, introduced bill il Congress
the other day appropriating Cor a
petition asking) 100000 to aid
the Mississippi negroes to go 70
Liberia. If it would do the negroes
any good and such an appropr.a
ton could be made lawfully, we
would unhesitatingly advise it; but
for the good Of the negro himself
we must say that it should not be
done. We noticed the other day q
letter from q cOlored man who had
tried Liberia and he says it is the
-serst move they can make. They
all die as SOON as they get there, al
most, with a peculiar fever, and
then there is nothing to do there
and not thing to recommend it.
Once in a while this Liberia emf
grafton frenzy breaks out and as
soon subsidies, and it is always born
Of the false idea that prevails at the
North or that bloody-shirt vendors
would have prevail that the negro
is oppressed and starving in the
South. We do not hesitate to say,
from what we absolutely know of
the negro's condition and what we
can learn OF the poor white mans
condition az the North, that the ne
gro fares the better. He can al
ways get work here and his natural
habits of life make the wages he
gets amply sufficient for his every
necessity. He can live here Tor
does } by working less than half his
inc, while the laboring man at the
North works from ten to fifteen
hours day for the most pltiful
wages and is continually in a grind
ing state Of poverty. Let the apos-
ties Of hate preach their slanderous
lies as they will, and let the mis-
guided North give as much credit
as it will TO their infamous propa-
cations, the fact still stands as
prominent as unbending truth that
the Southern whites are more
friendly and charitable towards
their colored people than the loud
mouthed North is to its struggling
poor white men aud women. Our
south would perhaps be benefited
by a complete negro exodus, but for
the benefit of these deluded people
themselves the people at the South
are unutterably opposed to Bruce's
scheme,

The Republicans have this advan-
tage in Congress: Mr.. Randall, in
ruling, for fear that ne will have the
appearance of favoring his party,
leans towards the other side; while
Vice President Wheeler lends him
self and his proud position to every
little dirty trick that Edmunds or
Conkling may hatch up. See his
action in adjourning the Senate last
Thursday by his vote when the
Democrats were about to prevail in
discharging the Committee on cleo
tons from further consideration of
the Butler Corbin case. 1t was a
low. mean, dirty, narrow, partisan
trick.

scared over their reduced strength

JUDGE LYNCH AT COLUMBIA
Geo. Roper, the Negro Ravisher,
Hanged by Her Citizens.

Last Saturday negro named
Geo. Roper attempted rape upon
the person of Miss Bette, daughter
of Rev. Mr.. Templeton, Cumber
land preacher at Columbia. He
was successfully resisted but made
mis- escape, and was caught at Ath-
ems, Ala, Monday morning. The
whole population was justly en-
ragged and hundreds of men spent
Saturday, Sunday and Monday
securing the country in all direc-
tions for the villain. He was car
ried to Columbia Monday evening
and it was with difficulty that ven
geance was stayed until Tuesday
morning. when he was taken before
the young lady and fully identified.
On his way back to the Jail his
guards were overpowered and the
miscreant swung by block and tick
lie from the third story Of the court
house. The hanging was quiet and
determined and was participated IN
by all the prominent citizens and not
a hand was raised against it. Two
negro men were on a committee APP
pointed at a meeting of the citizens
Tues day night TO see if he was
identified, and they made speeches
at the execution, fully justifyiug it
and giving good counsel to their
brethren. The wretch neither de
MED nor confessed and died logged
ly stubborn. The body was left
hanging two hours and a large
pIacard near had upon it "The Will
OF the People" Three other white
ladies of Columbia sustained SINH
lar assaults from the villain during
the week but it was not made pub
lie. 1t was also ascertained after
his execution that $1,000 was OF
fered for him dead or alive at Mo-
bile for committing a rape there
several weeks ago.
Mr.. Milt. VOORHEES, of Pulaski
witnessed the execution aud gives
graphic details. His fate was more
than merited. The negro, it is said,
spent Sunday in Pulaski, going to
church. He was recognized by Mr..
Jno. Westmoreland as he went
through Prospect and he telegraph
ed to Columbia, which led to his
capture.

The repeal of the Resumption Act
is absolutely certain to raise wages
and prices generally. Property
will command higher prices and
prosperity will be more widespread.
Mr.. Ewing in his great speech, after
stating upon athority that thous-
ands OF men were offering in Ohio
to work for bread alone, without
any thought of families or prepar
ing for approaching winter, "and
this too in the midst of bounteous
harvests, in a region one of the
fairest ever fashioned by the AL
mighty for the abode of man."
wound up his remarks amidst vocif
erous applause with the suggestive
couplet:
0, God, that bread should DO so dear,
And flesh and blood so cheap.
The Repeal will cure this cOndi-
ton to a great extent, but the puz-
cling question is, will that cure be
enduring.

DR.. Conover, the Florida Senator

Carolina, has been about half a
Democrat ever since last October.
He bolted the Republican candidate
for Governor, and threatened to
support Tilden's interest in the
Senate if the Drew ticket and the
Conservative LEGISLATURE were sac
riiced. He claims to have been
elected by Democrats as well as Re
publicans, and to favor the restora-

rights of representation to the peo-
pie of the South. Conover's wife
and family have Teen kindly treated

Bishop Marvin Dead.

Bishop Enoch NJ. Marvin, d. D.,
of the Southern Methodist Church,
died at his residence in st. Louis,
Mo-. on Monday morning last, OF
pleuro-pneumonia. Bishop Marvin
was the youngest Bishop in the
Southern Church except Bishop
McTyeire; was born in Missouri in
1928, Joined Conference in 1S41,
and was made a Bishop in 1866.
He had just finished a Missionary
tour around the world, having or
ganized a conference in China en-
route and attended conference at
Bristol, England. He had no living
superior perhaps as a pulpit orator.
nor as a devout and holy man of
God. He was universally beloved
for his zeal IN the cause of Christ,
for his wonderful intellect and ua-
ostentatious piety. He will be a
star forever in the beauti-
full land of love.

According to the proceedings Of the
County Convention Of Poweahiek County
it appears that The Republicans Of that
County with simplicity which t. won
dcrfuI 10 behold, claim that. they arc en-
sitled to the ONCE Of State Senator The
coming term, notwithstanding the pres.
ent incumbent b q resident Of that
County. Thek prfscipai argument Z
that the present Senator was elected
BY the opposision, although, frcm the
records It appears that i was their own
vote that elected him. They seemed to
think four years ago that 10 both candi-
dates were Powslliek County men there
was particularly no choice, they had
the deadwood on Tama County, SO they
could elect the Anti Monopoly candidate
and let him serve his time out and
then by that time the Republicans would
be ready to carry things again and then
they could claim that they were not rep.
resented and come ir for another candi
date. But We don't believe this will win
lama County already has candiuate 10
the field and by the time Of the harvest
or convention, several more will probab-
" be ripe. We do not believe our peo'
ple viii be unreasonable OF will insist on
more than they are entitled to, but we DO
believe that we are Of right entitled to the
Office this fall. Mr.. Haines the gentle
men whom the Powshiek County Repub-
aicans support is said to be a man OF good
ability, good character, and in every way
fitted for the position. He has not sought
the nomination but il was rendered to him
and he will only accept we understand
provided Txua County docs not insist
upon naming the candidate.
We haye no idea the strife will be
bitter one, and VIC hope the matter will
be amicably settled and satisfactory to
all parties.

HOURS WITH MEN AND BOOKS. By william
Mathews. L. L. D. Vol. 12mo. cloth bevclcd
edges 500. Chicago: 9. @. Grigrs Co.
Had any person few years ago had the
temerity to announce as his belief that
Chicago would publish books for the east
ern market, and especially for the Eng
lish market, he would have been looked
upon as an enthusiast, ore who had an
exalted opinion Of his locality. But To
think Of a book being written in Chicago
in addition to being published there, and
then meeting with an enormous success
in the more cultured cities of Boston.
New York and London, is even more as
tonishing. Not but what there are as
good thinkers and writer's In the West as
elsewhere, but the fashion has always been
to decry anything and everytl ing emana
ting from a short distance west of the
Atlantic Seaboard, and to indulge in the
old skcptical question "Can any good
come out of NAZARETH" But happily this
is passing away, and people are beginning
10 be more willing to recognize ability
and merit wherever found.
Some five years ago Messrs. 8. G..
Griggs & Co., published Prof. Mathews
first work Getting On in the World. ;
1t was at once recognized as a master
work and received the highest .ncomi-
ums from both press and public, in this
country and Europe, one of its highest
praises being the numerous editions call
cd for.
The volume under consideration
Hours with Men and Books" is, we
think, equal to any Of the authors previ-
GUS works. 1t is in rather different vein
from the first one, and is as full OF inter-
est and information as an egg is of meat
In these essays the author shows an init
mate acquaintanceship with Men and
Books, and he has happy way Of COM
municating his knowledge TO his readers.
We don't know when We have enjoyed
the perusal of book more than this, the
charming language in which it is written
giving it interest and fascination.
Mechanically speaking the book is
handsomely and neatly gotten up, hav-
ing that solid, substantial appearance SO
peculiar 10 the publications Of Messrs. s.
@. Griggs s Co. 1t is uniform with the
authors previous works, and will doubt
less proven decided success.
The publisher will take pleasure in
sending it to any address postpaid upon
receipt of price.
