Correspondence Of the Republican.


Last evening Elder Geo. R. Kramer
invited attention to Eph. 5, 2. He re-
marked that the sublimity of Jesus
transcends our appreciative comprehen-
sion. His love drew the wonderous
pan of redemption, aud is Its control
ling power. Love to Christ is the effect,
not the cause of our salvation.
The more we apprehend infinite love
the greater our own. Paul's talisman
was, 'He loved me and gave himself
for me-" Jesus love is that Of "friend
that loveth at all times" even that
friend that sticketh closer than a
brother" Itis also brothers love
that makes us "heirs of God and joint
h. irs with Jesus Christ"
"He is not ashamed to call us breth-
rem for he has prepared for us a city.
Now he appears in the presence of God
for u.s." as our living head and advo-
cate.
A bridegroom's love is his. As a
queen in regal splendor shall his
saints participate in his glory. "To him
that overcometh will | grant to sit with
me on my throne" indicates the grand
destiny Of isspeople in the palaces of
the New Jerusalem, after the "mar-
riage supper of the Lamb" Should
We not intensely desire the return Of
the Bridegroom who said 81 will come
again and receive you unto myself that
where am there ye may be Also"
When he who is our life shall appear,
then shall We appear with him in
glory. 4. c. w.

Cause o,the Negro Exodus.

Why the negroes go is TINS revealed
in part by the BrookviIle (Miss.) "Citi-
zen," Democrat paper: "Col. Wesson
was in town last Monday and informed
the writer that species of bulldozIng
was carried on at Hhis place on the 18th
nit. Col. Wesson owns mill which Is
located near his residence. lie has had
working with him for some time two
good, reliable negroes. A notice was
stuck up at the mill, warning the
negroes to leave the neighborhood in
Ten days, and was signed Regulators
The negroes did not 60, and on the night
of the 18th ult. they were awakened by
the report of guns, several buckshot
penetrating the wall and passing over
the bed in which one of the negroes
was asleep. Bulldozing has been prac-
ticed before in our country and still 1t
continues. Law-abiding citizens ma
turally ask if it can not be stopped If
proper steps were taken we believe 1t
could be.

1T CAN'T BOYD.

A Philadelphia nystery-The Body
Of . man supposed 20 be . VIII
AmingtOnian hshed out OF the Del
aware.
Coroner Gilbert, of Philadelphia, on
Saturday held an inquest on the body
Of an unknown man found drowned in
the Delaware on Friday morning, after
the body had been taken to the morgue.
Upon examination of the remains the
Corsner's physician found cut an inch
long above the nose, another one and q
half inches in length over the left eve,
an incised wound over the left temple,
another on the left side Of the face, a
fracture Of the skull, fracture of the
jaw and knifs-wound an inch long in
the throat.
Death had resulted from compression
of the brain in consequence of the
skull having been fractured. An in
quest was held on Saturday, and YER
dict of death from violence at the hands
of some one unknown was rendered.
Deceased was apparently about twenty
five years old, four feet and nine inches
in height, had light auburn hair and
moustache and was dressed in dark
coat, dark plaid pants with red sus-
penders, white shirt with three studs
IN the bosom, and gaiter shoes.
There were some suspicious at first
that the murdered man was John Boyd
from Wilmington, who left his home at
the Aims House where he had been
spending the winter, some three or four
weeks ago, since which time he has not
been heard from. Boyd is an older and
larger man than described in the Phil
adelphia papers, and besides this there
could be- no difficulty in ascertaining
his name, for on one arm was picked
in Indian ink in large letters the name
John Boyd" and on the other arm
the initials -. B."
A ship was also picked on one of his
arms, and his breast was covered with
indian-ink characters. The authorities
having the body of an unknown man
in charge, and searching for some mark
by which to identify him would GER
tainly not overlook such important
marks as those described. We are
therefore inclined to think that the
body is not that OF John Boyd. In re-
lation to the affair we clip the follow
ing from to.day's Philadelphia RE
cord"
son Friday the Coroner received a
note from 7. b. Vance, of Wilmington,
Del, asking if he had come across
man answering certain description as
one John Boyd, who had been missing
from that city for three weeks. When
the body Of the drowned man was found
there was close resemblance to the de-
seription given of Boyd, and Mr.. Vance
was telegraphed to come here and iden.
tify the remains. Up to last evening
he had not done so.
1t is not by any means certain that
this is Boyd, but it is more likely that
he is Philad-lphian who has been
murdered and thrown overheard.
