Champion Unletchy Boy.

From the Sacramento Union
s. Kingsbury's eight year-old son, who has
been spoken of heretofore as being exceed
ingly unfortunate, continues to show what
can be done by a boy who is determined to
have accidents. Some years ago he fell
down flight of stairs and cut his head very
severely; next he fell and rup-
tured himself; then his brother
threw stick at him, striking him
in the eye and destroying its sight; last Sun
day, while playing in a barn, he jumped
against nail and cut his scalp severely;
night before last, while in the act of cutting
bone for dog with an axe, he received his
last injury, the axe striking against clothes
line as it descended and falling upon his
head in such manner as to cut the scalp
badly, necessitating the taking of several
stitches by the surgeon called in.

New Orleans Picayune Paris Letter.
IA. Alex. Dumas was returning home late
t'other night when an old woman, half con
cealed by the deep recess, suddenly arose
from the seat where she was crouching
and craved aims. Dumas crossed her palm
with silver. The friend with whom he was
walking asked, "Do you give to such peo-
people? Aren't you often deceived? There
are SO many imposters in PARISH Dumas
answered: 'sMy dear fellow, when an old
woman begs one may give without fear of
being imposed on, for there is prima facie
evidence that she has the misfortune to have
no son.

The Ersniog Tribune starts off Maj. Ge O..
X. Shaw's newspaper venture in this city
with the following first class article:
Mr.. George X. Shaw, journalist Of ability
late of the Bay City Tribune, and formerly of
the Minneapolis Ne,vs, is in the city, credited
by the GLOBE with journalistic purposes in the
direction of u morning newspaper. ANY body
who will give Minneapolis newspaper worthy
of the city and up to the requirements of che
rivalry which it must necessarily encounter,
will be heartily welcomed. But we hardly see
how this can be done by any newspaper how
ever meritorious otherwise, which is without
the first requisite of successful modern jour
nalism-a membership in the Western Asso-
ciated Press. But as we are as yet without any
knowledge eff Mr.. Shaw's plans, we will not an
ticipate them, promising that in whatever en-
terprise he embarks he will bring to it all the
energy and ability which characterizes the man.
On what grounds does the Tribune assume
that Maj. Shaw is not to have the Associated
Press franchise? Or has the Tribune got
that little matter corraled? Eth, David?

Bob Toofnbs on Grant.


Washington Correspondence of the Cincinnati
Commrcial
General Robert Toombs, of Georgia, being
asked to-day by your correspondent about
Grant for next President, replied: swell, if
by the DEGREES of the Almighty we are not to
be free for four years more from radical
power, then should say give US full lion,
not a sneaking sheep. Grant is lion. I
have respect for the man because he either
kills or wins. I have never forgotten how
gracefully he treated Lee and our soldiers at
the surrender. Grant is better for the
South, lion though he is, than sheep who
strives to make q lion Of himself.,,

A MOST extraordinary document, or
one that would be extraordinary in any
other state of political affairs in the
South, has been issued by the Republic
ans of Montgomery County, Alabama,
in mass meeting. This manifesto AYERS
that the Republicans in that county
registered, for the election of August
D, over 5000 voters, and the Democrats
about 2,300, and the Democratic count
ing officers returned 4, 100 Democratic
votes, and 1900 Republican, whereas
at the last Congressional election, which
was conducted under the supervision of
Republican officers, and when the Dem
ocrats made thorough canvass, and
brought out every vote that they had,
they polled $500 votes to about 5000
Republican. At the courthouse pre-
cinct the white men were freely per-
mitted to vote, and the colored men
were kept from the polls. So that al
though the colored men registered 779
votes, only 200 were pOlled, and 500,
deprived of their right to vote, were
crowding around the courthouse, after
the polls closed The result of the
election, instead of being made public
the following day, was suppressed for
a week, in order to allow time to doctor
the returns.
This paper declares that the election
was farce where the Republicans did
the voting and the Democrats did the
counting, and approves of the Judgment
of the State convention in not, under
such circumstances, putting the State
ticket in the field. An appeal is made
to the northern and western constitu-
encies, where fair voting is allowed, to
elect members of the next House of
Representatives who shall afford relief
to the disfranchised portion of the
South; and committee was appointed
to confer with the United States author
tiles to inquire if those outrageous vio-
latOrs of law can not be brought to
justice. And the men who perpetrate
these frauds are the men who are charg-
ing fraud upon the Republicans in the
election of Hayes. They hold up their
hands in holy horror at Republican
frauds, hands that are stained with
every violation of law and red with the
blood of murder committed upon the
American citizens, entitled under the
Constitution and the law to the same
rights with their prosecutors. These
are the men who ask the people to
place the Government in their hands,
to purge it of corruption and to restore
its purityl A despotism exists in the
South equal to that which prevails un-
der any civilized rule in the world
The Government is in the hands of an
oligarchy and the popular sentiment is
suppressed by intimidation and vio-
lence. This state of things cannot last
The other sections of the country will
rise Indignantly and vindicate the rights
of the oppressed constituencies, which
are their own rights, for it is not only
the immediate sufferers that feel the
wrong. The members of Congress
chosen by such methods legislate for
the whole country, and help to make
the laws which are obeyed in other Sec
tions. Providence Journal.
