The emigrants landed, and grand dinner

in the country, the very vegetables being
canned and imported from England.
The Liberians were found everywhere In
want Of the most common necessities Of life,
without which the toughest fleld-hand darkey
could not get along. AS for the literature of
the country, it was found to be confined
wholly to old half-worn tracts and moral
stories, left in this land by some missionaries
q half century ago. Such is this ideal negro
republic, after fifty years existence and free

Butler wanted to know If Souer's appoint

President, instead of going up from him to
the President" "You trench on delicate
ground" said Sherman; 81 ought not to tell
you what the President said to me, or what 1

asked in regard to Parker's removal and
the appointment of Badger, "was there any

fruitless; and whereas l am determined to

The Republicans, it has been learned, will
nominate as Congressman from the Third
Congressional District of South Carolina, Col.
E. NJ. Brayton, collector of internal revenue.
This nomination undoubtedly means that the
Outrage milf Is going to be started at once
in the Palmetto State. This can be easily
done. There Is already a difference between
the State and Federal authorities on the
question Of collecting internal revenue; this
can be easily fomented into serious diff
Guilty. Then, too, many of the illicit distillers
of South Carolina have shown disposition to
resist the Federal authorities In collecting the
internal revenue tax; how easily can these
cases be worked up into political outrages-
resistance to Federal authority by the rifle
clubs of South Carolina! The Republicans
have no hope Of carrying this district, but
they can secure material here for use in can
wasting the Northern States.

mass meetings or conventions and elected
their delegates, 2S1 in number. These dele

and half Of one delegation and one ward Of
New Orleans elect lat delegates In favor OF q
constitutional convention; eight parishes and
half of one delegation elect forty-two oppo-
nents of constitutional convention; ten par
ishes, with fifty-five delegates, refuse to in
struct their delegates and tell Them to go
to Baton Rouge and act there for the best
interests of the party and Louisiana. From
five other parishes, with thirty-seyen del

cies of this State, no information has yet been
received, although many Of these delegates
were elected several days ago. The delegates

The New York Times, commenting on the
Baxter lIicks street fight at Nashville, after
giving graphic description of Hicks gal
liant fight against the four Baxters, who were
all trying to kill him, observes that:
The spectacle OF four men all trying to kill
one man would excite Indignation and horror
IN any quarter of civilization except in the
Southern part Of the United States. II slavery
be dead, it's spirit survives, and makes men
pretending to be gentlemen and representa-
lives of chivalry not merely brutes and
murderers, but villains and towards.
This amiable observation has the appear
ance OF solecism, and the cowardly Baxters
and the courageous Hicks all doubtless grew
up under the same social influences. But the
Times is always willing and anxious to make
a bloody ass Of itself in order to infuse a
special malignity into It's abuse Of the South
We ina CINE that chivalry and courage and
humanity are pretty much the same the world
over, and the appreciation of them in the
South may well be brought into comparison
with that which prevails in the North.
The malignity of such sweeping abuse is
only equaled by it's idiocy. We have ne

During the late riots In Pennsylvania this
question was settled definitely, and also by

The New York Times frankly admits that
the greenbaek movement is not Only fairly
started In New England, but that 1t Is of
rapid and strong growth. Every one has
heard how it is going on In Maine, but few
know that this movement Is so strong in
Western Massachusetts that 1t promises not
only to play most prominent part in poll
tics but almost to decide the result In that
State. Massachusetts has always been
counted as sure hard money State, says
the Times, "but there Is great danger of It's
being lost"
The Eastern press were disposed to ridi-
Guile the greenback and similar financial
movements at first as indigenous to Western
and heavily mortgaged States; but all this
has been changed These new principles
have not only proved triumphant in the
West and South, but have actually invaded
the East and threaten to wrest away the
strongest hard money State OF that section.
The East no longer leads the country In
questions of finance, and might as well pre-
pare to take back seat In future when finan-
cial legislation is under discussion 1t has
proved itself an unfortunate leader in the
past, and the country no longer trusts to its
judgment.

Brooklyn the other morning, Mrs. Reutlinger
dropping her infant on the sidewalk and giving

ordered. The bystanders cheered the woman

hearse, causing them to run down bank.
