No more fitting comment on the pseudo
chivalry of the South could be made than
the matter-o fact account of a bloody
affray in Nashville, Tenn, special to the
Times. Two politicians, Samuel II. Hicks
and Nathaniel Baxter, had had a quarrel,
and had made grave charges against one
another. Hicks was walking in the
street one morning, when two sons of
Baxter saw him, and began firing at him
He drew a revolver and returned the
fire in selfdefense. Not satisfied that
two men should attack one, two more of
Baxter's sons Joined their brothers, and
also turned their pistols against Hicks,
who, so entirely overmatched retreated,
but with his face to the foe Having
been wounded several times Hicks fell
from loss of blood and while down was
struck and shot in the head by one of the
fraternal assassins. He rose to his knees
and fred three times, then rising and
still retreating before the cowardly MUIR
derers sank exhausted, and in q few
minutes breathed his last Our special
adds that one of the Baxters was mortal
ly shot by an unknown person-probably
however, by Hicks. 1t is pity that
more of the brothers were not similarly
served. The spectacle of four men all
trying to kill one man would excite in
dignation and horror in any quarter of
civilization except in the southern part
of the United States. If slavery be dead,
its spirit survives, and makes men pre-
tending to be gentlemen and representa-
tives of chivalry, not merely brutes and
murderers, but villains and cowards-
The surviving Baxters were arrested and
relased--of course-on bail N. Y.

A White Mans Government.

The address of Senator Butler Of South
Carolina, to which we have already refer
red has made stir in the politics of the
State. 1t is mildly criticised by some of
the organs of Democratic opinion, which
seem to be afraid that it is little too
strong, but others applaud it with frantic
energy, and evidently regard it as a forci.
BILE statement of the plan upon which the
South must work out her regeneration
Senator Butler declares that practically
this is "a white mans Government" and
a white mans Government it must re-
main. This is the corner stone of his
politics. Men Of all races and coors
may come into the country live under
the protection of its laws, and pay its
taxes; but white men alone must govern
it, make the laws, hold the offices, and
cast the votes. The Democracy of Edge
field county have adopted a platform in
which this principle is still more aggres-
sively stated. They say: "We regard
the issues between the white and colored
people of this State and of the entire
South as an antqgonisna ofrace, not differ
ence of political parties" and they add
that white supremacy is essential to our
continued existence as people"
In carrying out this principle the
Edgefeld irreconcilables reject even the
are said to be $1,000 or Is 900 negro voters
in the State who are willing to act with
the Democratic party, but the champions
of White Mans Government will not
allow them to vote at the primaries, and
AS the country well knows, to its shame
and sorrow-it is only under the protec
ton OF Federal troops that they can cast
ballot at the general elections. AS the
bulldozer frankly avows, the issue be-
tween white and black is not a question
of politics, but an irreconcilable antagon-
ism of race. The negro must be kept in
the condition of subsection to which he
was born. Whatever privileges may be
conferred upon him By statutes and con-
situations, whatever abstract political
equality may be proclaimed among all
citizens, the negro shall not vote That is
the sum and substance of the true South
ern Democracy.
1t is hardly necessary to remark that
this is not matter which South Carolina
can be allowed to settle for herself The
rights of the freedmen are guaranteed by
the Constitution of the United States,
and the Federal Government is bound by
the most sacred obligations to protect
them. And when race is violently
thrust out of the political system, when a
majority-it may be-of the whole popu-
lation is denied the right of self govern
ment, we surely look in vain for that
republican form of government which
the Federal power (Mr Butler calls it
the centralized despotism } must guar
antee to all the States. Not only for the
sake of the negro but for its own protec-
ton against subversive and demoraliz-
ing tyranny, the General. Government
will prevent the establishment of any
such oligarchy. Y. Tribune

A Fish Finds a Ring.

About fifty years ago, or thereabouts,
Admiral X was in command of one
of his Majesty's ships on the Mediter-
ranean station. He always wore an
antique ring of rare workmanship and
very great value it was curiously en-
graved with Arabic or Egyptian charac-
ters-a ring that nobody could possibly
mistake.
One day when on deck in giving
some orders he lifted his hand, and his
ring slipped off his finger and fell over
board. OF course he concluded that he
had seen the last of his favorite ring
but few weeks later he received let
ter from friend, Captain c., who
was stationed at Gibraltar, and who had
heard of his loss, telling him he had
found the ring in the following singular
manner.
He was buying some fish, when on the
vendors finger he saw the ring, which
he at once recognized las said before, it
was one it was impossible to mistake).-
He inquired of the woman how she got
it, when she directly answered:
"Sir, it is very odd, and perhaps you
will hardly believe me, but found it
inside fish was cleaning"
need scarcely add that Captain c.
bought the ring, and returned it to his
old friend, who, you may be sure, was
more careful of it after this adventure,
having double value for it.

Ex-Governor Morgan, of New York,
was once a clerk in store in Water
ford. A trip to New York was an event
in those days, but the young man had
proved so faithful that he was entrusted
with several commissions, among them
being one to buy corn. He came back
in due time in the old stage coach, and
inquiries were made about the corn. The
price was very satisfactory, but the old
gentleman thought it could not be good

Learn Your Business.

A YOUNG man in q leather store
IA used to feel very impatient with his
employer for keeping him, year after
year, for three years, handling hides. {"
But he saw the use of it in after years,
when in an establishment of his own
he was able to tell by touch the exact
quality of the goods. 1t was only by
those thousands of repetitions that the
lesson was learned, and so it is with
everything in which we acquire skill.
The great army of incapables" is large
enough we would none of us willingly
join its ranks. The half-skilled in every
business outnumber the other, dozens to
one. 1t was good suggestion, worthy
of being remembered, which Daniel
Webster made to young man who
asked him if there was any room in
the legal profession" "There is always
room enough in the upper stories" !"
said the great statesman.
The better you know your business
the better you chance to rise. If you
drone through your allotted tasks with
out keeping wide awake lookout on all
that goes on about you, your progress
will be needlessly slow. You can gather
much information by making o wise
use of your eyes and ears, and perhaps
be able to surprise your employer in an
emergency by stepping into the "next
man'sp place and diseharging his duties

A Hard Test.

Ten or dozen men were enjoying the
hot weather, which baked the shingles
on ferry dock saloon, recently, when
stranger walked in and inquired of the
bartender:
Have you any mint ?"
g Yes, sir" was the reply.
"And you have sugar, lemons, gin,
brandy, and so forth ?"
The stranger turned around to the
crowd, noted the sudden increase of in
terest on each face, and kindly said:
Gentlemen, I'm going to treat every
liar in this room. Let all the liars-the
monstrous liars-come forward"
Not foot moved.
Gentlemen,'' continued the stranger
in plaintive tone, " don't be backward.
Juleps wait for all. Every one of you
who is known as liar will please stand
up"
Not man stood. The strangers face
betrayed keen disappointment as he or
dered rousing big 'mint" for himself,
and not word was spoken in the place
while he slipped the cooling liquid
through straw. When he had finish
ed he wiped off his mouth and said
"Well, every truth-teller in the crowd
will now stand up"
Each man rose with the promptness
of soldier.
"And sit down again" softly said the
man as made for the door.
They would have sat down on him,
but great truth-tellers are poor run
ners.
