OUR United States consuls are at
their best queer set. Something is
always occurring about them in foreign
lands of an exceedingly unpleasant
character. Now we learn that Mr..
Fairchild, who is the consul general at
Liverpool, and who should be at his
post to receive the eX-President upon
his arrival, is absent in France on a
tour of pleasure, and consequently the
consul general at London will have to
proceed to the formers post and per-
form his duties for him. If Mr.. Fair
child cannot stay at his consulate and
attend to his own consular duties-not
of an arduous nature an.yhow-why, he
had better be recalled home and some
body who will perform this Office be
sent in his place.

THAT CONVENTION.

From the Deadwood papers we gel
the report of the final doings of 'sthai
convention, which adjourned in great
confusion after the Meyer men beat the
anti-Meyer men, by small majority
We also notice that a couple of our old
Cheyenne settlers took haad in this
scramble for Office, which are, however,
out of reach. Messrs. Kuykendall and
Whitehead appear on the scene, the
former as a maker of sundry motions,
and the latter as the author of a string
OF resolutions as long as the famous
moral law. Whitehead's "Whereas''
says: "This county is so isolated and
located at great distances from the
nearest settlement in Wyoming, etc.,
ETC., therefore be it resolved, that the
best interests of our people require an
early organization of the Black Hills of
Wyoming into separate Territory
Now, the Judge knows that the dis
tance from the Black Hills to the near
est settlement in Wyoming is only about
seventy-five miles, and we have known
him, while resident of Cheyenne, to
attend court and political conventions,
from four TO five hundred miles distant
from this place, and that, too, without
finding fault or manifesting a desire
for separate territorial organization
for the ten thousand people in the south
eastern corner Of Wyoming.
Why should he and Kuykendall, who
have received SO many favors from their
fellow citizens of Wyoming, be among
the first to decry and oppose fraternal
feeling and permanent union between
the people of the several portions of
Wyoming, including the Black Hills
country? Their well known love for
office is the only reason we can give for
their inconsistent and ungrateful
course. In their hunt fer official posi-
tions, they will be disappointed, how
ever, for, mark the prediction, there
,efH be no nsu territorial organization
for the Blaa Hills; and we know
whereof we ,peak.

LOCAL self-government is manfesting
itself in a very decided manner in the
South. In Mississippi, the Chisholm
tragedy; in Louisiana, Laws has had
the benefit of the laws Of the local self
government, as construed by the White
Leaguers, by being muir dered in cold
blood, and the local self government OF
South Carolina, in the form of the
lower house, have refuse / to make an
appropriation to pay the alaries of the
professors of the Univer ,ity of South
Carolina. This is local sci f-government
with vengeance.

worth one cent. He still continued TO
reside in the parish and to do business
in his store in the town. This was ag-
gravating. 1t was too much for the
average White Lacquer to endare. The
damned nigger'' must be taught his
place, and instantly they began the in
struction, by burning down his store.
This did not have the desired effect,
however, for Mr.. Laws, besides being
a prominent citizen, was also a wealthy
gentleman of color, and he proceeded
to build another. This was the final
straw that broke the camel's back.
The White League met in secret con-
clave, and ascertaing this, Mr.. Laws
went home and made his will, put his
affairs in order, and wrote to ex-Gov.
Packard that his Naws' hour had
come. He felt intuitively this to be
the case, for the murderous gang had
notified him, by placing the customary
coffin before his door, accompanied
with bunch of cartridges, which
was as much of warning to him as
the traditional bunch of arrows
wrapped in the rattlesnake skin of the
untutored Indian, was to the early set
tiers who came to these shores two cen
turies ago.
James Laws, colored, did not have
long to wait, but died, shot down in
his tracks as he rose from his seat upon
the veranda, while he was in CONVERSE
tion with his mother, to speak to his
murderers-shot down by party of
fiends in human guise. Murdered ON
his own threshold and under his own
roof, and his only crime-he ,cas con-
serratiue Republican.
This is not the first crime of Il like
character that has occurred in this
felicitous parish of East Feliciana, and
political differences, not color, seem to
have instigated the murder of sheriff
Webber as well as the murder of Laws,
as much as anything else. In fine then,
it would seem that there is but zone in
flexible, unbending, iron law in the
South. Either you must be South
erner in everything, even to the break
ing of the law by committing murder,
if necessary. You must have but one
opinion; you must not waver in your
allegiance to them or theirs; you must
sink your manhood in obeying theirs;
you must crawl and grovel at their
lordly feet and submit to their feudal
ways and habits.
We have not written this in a purely
partisan spirit. No man can accuse us,
rightfully, of partisanship of very
marked character, and we would that
the affair which led to the production
of this article had never occurred. But
these things happen too often for us to
affect ignorance of them. These deeds
occur nowhere else throughout the
length and breadth of this free country,
save in the Southern States. Mexico
has no such annals to look back to, and
be ashamed of. The Indians are far
less cruel and vindictive; and it amounts
to this. that if the Southern people and
unable to restrain their White League
murderers, then let the United States
government step in and crush them out
by military rule.

significant Order for the Germans

Vienna, May 24.-Rumors are cur
rent here of German mobiliza-
tion, which is traceable to the fact
that the Prussian subjects, who are lia-
BILE to service as reserves, have received
notice reminding them to be ready to
join their regiments within four days
from the date of the order. This or
der only refers to Silesian regiments.
This would point to limited mobiliza-
tion on the Polish frontiers as pre-
caution in view of any possible Polish
agitation.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.

In the hearts of some of the South
ern people thsre is murder, associated
with revenge for imaginary wrongs re-
ceived at the hands of the colored pop
ulation Of the South, supported by their
white Republican friends of the coun-
try generally. The newspapers of both
sections, and differing in their political
creeds, have with one accord condemn
ed in unmeasured terms the recent out
RACES which occurred in Mississippi, and
resulted in the numbering and deaths
of several members of the family of
Judge Chisholm, including the Judge
himself and there the matter has ap-
parently ended, so far as Mississippi
and her govera aor are concerned. For
her executive, Stone, whose name is as
suggestive as his heart must be hard,
has notified tie family that he cannot
think of sending troops to protect them
from further violence, in which the
fiends, implicated in this horrible deed,
which would DO credit to the brutal
soldiery of the dark ages, may see fit to
indulge.
The Chisholm tragedy is still before
our minds, but we are treated to an
other outrage, similar in character and
detail, in the shooting of prominent
colored citizen Of East Feliciana, Ia, /,
who was seated on the veranda of his
house conversing with his mother,
when the murder took place. James
Laws was not only citizen of the
State, but he was to the manor born.
He was also q respected and promi-
nent member of society, and he would
undoubtedly have been permitted to
reside in the State of which he was a
citizen, and representative man Of his
color, if it had not been for the unde-
niable fact Of his being a conservative
Republican. This was Mr.. Laws ter
rible crime, in the eyes of the Southern
White Leaguers in this neighborhood,
and who accordingly proceeded to s'bull-
doze" him by their peculiar argument,
into submission to their will, and to
become amenable to their creed. But
this colored man refused to be ssbull-
dozed" into anything of the kind. His
negro blood rebelled and was probably
assisted in its rebellion by share of
the white blood that coursed through
the veins of some of his white neigh
bors comprising some Of the first fami-
lies Of East Feliciana. He was per-
fectly willing to be conserv ative. He
had no desire to be rabid In his politi-
cal creed, as some of his Republican
adherents were, and abstained as much
as possible from anything of personal
character. So the Southern heart of
the chivalry was fired, and revenge
became the watch-word Of these White
Leaguers. From that time he was a
marked and prosecuted man. He was
Knocked desn occasionally in his role
Of an East Eeliciana merchant. when
desirous Of collecting bill, for daring
to presume to think of such thing as
payment for his wares. He had been
shot at upon several occasions before.
He was in the habit of receiving threat
ening letters, which he used in lighting
his cigars, thus initiating his neighbors,
who did the same with his bills.
MI. Laws, colored, was evidently a
very cool, determined and collected
man, and very brave; for they did not
succeed in intimidating this negro.

and affirming that the sufferings of the
Pope are theirs, and distance increased
their devotion. Subsequently nine of
the Bishops present presented the Pope
with the offerings of their dioceses,
amounting to $4,000. The Pope ex-
pressed his joy at seeing himself sur
rounded by the faithful who had come
from such distant lands. He spoke of
the faith in the infallibility of the
church, and dwelt in detail upon the
progress of the church in America. He
alluded to the prosecutions to which
the church is subjected in Europe,
thanked them for their offerings, and
gave them his blessing.
