The American schooner K. G. Rankin,
whose crew arrived in New York last
Sund ~, was boarded by pirates, July u,
last, off Samoa Island, and entirely strip
ped of her cargo. The pirates, native
blacks, came in q swarm, and quickly
oyercame the sailors by threatening to
knife them, and had everything their own
way.- An appeal was made by the Ran
kin's captain to the government at San
Domingo. but while willing i'll express
sion. the authorities seemed unable to
recover the goods or repress the piratical
tendencies OF the SamOans. This is the
boldest case yet reported. The Rankin
is a total loss, and her crew came home
in steamship.

THIS is the conclusion of the whole
matter. Good times will come to each
individual in the community just as soon
as that individual goes to work and earns
his individual share of prosperity, and
not before. Practically the coming OF
the era will be fastened more by the
saving OF one cord of wood, or hoeing one
acre of potatoes in the proper spirit, than
in writing tons of resolutions and essays,
or i'm making public speeches until the
people are weary with much listening.

ATTORNEY GENERAL ACKERMAN.
I'm an interview in the New York Fri
bune, calls attention 10 curious miscOn
ception concerning the law under which
the transfer of the indicted revenue Off
GERS in South Carolina to a United States
Court has been demanded, and under
which similar acquisitions have been
made in former cases. This law, which
Southerners generally suppose to be a
product of "NOr;hern hate" i'm reality
dates back to MadisOn's administration,
and Was placed upon the statute book in
its present shape forty-ive years ago, by
the aid of many Southern votes, and at
the suggestion OF President Jackson and
Attorney General Roger B. fancy.

Mr.. E. n. STEBBINs, ex-member OF the
Board of Indian Commissioners, has
made lengthy report upon the condi-
ton of the Indian agencies upon the
Missouri river. As a rule the state of
affairs is far from satisfactory. The In
dians are making very little progress to-
ward civilization, the agents are general
ly incompetent, the traders are dishonest
and the Indians and the government are
yictimized and swindled. In the opiR-
ion of Mr.. Stebbins the present Indian
Commissioner ought to be removed, and
Mr.. Hammond, the Indian Inspector for
tho Dakota Territory, is not tit for his
position. In word, the Indians are as
badly of under this administration as
they We're under its predecessors

A Miserable FizxIe,

|
When the Potter Comm 3ittee cornmen
eel its Investigations, truthful "Jim-
my" Anderson was the great swamp
angel canon that was to burst up the
great Republican fraud and drive Hayes
from the White House, but it was not
long before the conspirators found that
the recoil Of that gun killed more at
the breech than the muzzle. Jimmy"
was found to be an unmitigated liar
and fraud, and at every step the
Committee have taken they have found
themselves to be completely foiled. 1t
is no longer now secret that Potter
and the other Democrats on the commit
tee, are heartily disgusted with ;he
whole affair, and now see that it can
only result in injury to their own par
ty, and perhaps make them lose the
House Of Representatives. Not one Of
the charges that have been made
against any Of the Republican leaders
has yet been substantiated. The at
tempt to prove a conspiracy to cheat
Tilden out of his election, has proved a
miserable failure, and the witnesses
brought forward for that purpose have
been covered with shame and confusion.
If anything was wanted to complete
ly overthrow the testimony Of Ander-
son, it was Mr.. T. A. Jenks, always a
creditable man, who showed that An
derson simply lied when he swore that
there was no intimidation in the Felici-
anas, and he also showed that long be-
fore then, Anderson had been in COM
munication with the Democratic Com
mittee, and had received from them a
draft for a considerable amount Of
money for not signing the protest. As
if this we're not enough to break down
the case, Mrs. jerks, sharp French
lady, comes upon the stand, and turns
the investigation into ridicule, and,
strange to say, she acknowledges to
having written the Sherman letter to
Anderson, as the letter wanted some
guaranty, that he would be paid for
doing what was right. The longer the
investigation is prolonged the greater
the farce becomes, and must end in q
more dismal failure than is even now
expected. Mr.. Potter and his committee
have been woefully misled by Ander-
son, and outwitted by the smart little
French woman, Mrs. Jenks, and the
best thing they can do will be to "pot-
ter" away to the mountains during the
dog-days, and come back to the next
session Of Congress admitting their
errors. ...

IT IS SAID that truthful "Jimmy'
Anderson has got his walking papers

North Carolina Excfted.

North Carolina has bsen thrown into
an unusual spssm Of excitement over
the nomination by the Republicans Of
colored lawyer for Solicitor in a dis
trict where there is from s, 900 to 10000
Republican majority. At the last Leg
islature the State was redistricted, and
the Democrats Gerrymandered the State
SO that there could be but one Repub-
lican judicial district, and for this pur-
pose they threw all the large Republi-
can counties together. They even went
to the trouble to include in the district
the counties Of Edgecombe and Craven,
which were not contiguous counties.
Mr.. Henry Collins, the colored lawyer
nominated, is . graduate Of Lincoln
University, Chester County, Pennsyl-
vania, of good character, obtained his
license to practice law from the Su-
preme Court of that State, and will no
doubt make an acceptable officer after q
few months experience.
The Raleigh News is furious over the
matter, the following paragraph being
an index of its outraged feelings:
''But let them pursue their course If
they will. They have been advised
by both white and black friends, po-
litical and otherwise, and If they can
afford to re-establish the colored line,
the white people can stand to have
them do it, anditwill be seen in the end
who shall most have suffered. They
should, however, note one fact as they
20 along, that the white people Of the
South having, from the first determin-
ed not to submit to negro domination,
have in every Southern State, thrown
off the yoke Of negro rule, and the at
tempt to re-establish that sort of thing
now, even in single Judicial district
in North Carolina, will most ignomin-
iously fail"
Now is the time for the organization of
Rifle clubs and White League organiza-
tion, which proved SO effectual in elect
ing Hampton Governor Of South Caro-.
lima, and it need not be surprising if
We shall soon hear news Of some aspi-
rant for Senatorial honors placing him
self at the head Of the White League
troops and 60 ona hunt for "niggers,"
just for the fun of the thing, and it
need not be surprising if even this
strong Republican District is bulldozed
into giving a Democratic majority. OF
course under those circumstances the
Every Evening and the Gazette, will both
swear that it was all the fault of the
"niggers" for if they wouldn't attempt
to vote there would be no trouble. Let
US wait and see the result; there is
music as we'll as magnolia balm in the
Southern air. . N#

municipal enactment permitting the open
ing Of theaters TO entice young people from
the paths of rectitude and virtue, and from

were severely animadverted upon. It was
alHo specified that the chief rules set very
bad example to the people by their neglect
Of religious duties, and that even professors
Of religion were derelict in receiving com.
pany in their houses on the Sabbath day,
and engaging in conversation on secular
matters. Railroad managers we're also cen.
sured for breaking the Lords day. The
report was unanimously adopted.
