SNAKE AND ALLIGAToR.-Not long
ago Florida paper told a story of the
charming of an alligator by a rattlesnake
The latter upon discovering the former
attracted attention by sounding an
alarm. The alligator turned his head
several times as if he wanted to get
away, but as often faced the snake
again. "Toward the end of half an
hour says the paper with fixed eyes
the alligator moved slowly toward his
terrible enemy, until within striking
distance, when the snake curled him
self more compactly and struck the
alligator. For a moment the alligator
shook tremendously, and then, as it by
magic, made a semi circle backward and
brought his tail down upon the would
be assassin with fatal result" On sew
eral occasions captured alligators and
rattlesnakes have been put in an in
closure to fight for the benefit Of spec
tators, and in u majority of cases the
snake has been victorious, having sue
ceeded in striking his fangs into the
open mouth [Florida Let

The Journal of the Future.
milwaukee Sentinel.l

The newspaper of the future-and the not
distant future-win be Independent of the
politicians. The experience of newspapers
which have been sincere in their political
expressions, which have refused to shield
the corrupt and vicious in either party, has
been altogether encouraging. Independent
journalism does not mean indiscrimiHate
abuse-but in this day it either means sIckly
neutrality or vigor in fighting the evils in
both political parties And here is where
the properly Independent journal is some
times misunderstood even by intelligent
men. A calm and temperate argument, in
which the effort to appear fair gives rogues
almost certificate of good character, can
not be effective in warfare upon
.ogues; yet IT., the s.,. newspaper l,es ), that
to the public gaze as he really is, is some
times called abusive, malicious, personal.
Consider the condition of our politics-in the
hands of the men who are responsible for
much that Is bad in the press. men with
aninordinate greed for Office ready to sacrifice
in the interest of self and party; consider the
false issues with which the people are de-
luded, the injuries that are inflicted upon
the country by partisan legislation, the cor
rupt bargainingby which the best sentiment
among the people is outraged-imagine
where it will lead-and then say, whether
calm and temperate discussion of principles
will correct the evils. Yet there are men
who will denounce a vigorous war upon
political misleaders as abusive-just as they
declare that preacher who battles bravely
against gigantic error has none of the
umility of religion about him.
The public is fairly ready to welcome q
genuinely honest newspaper, though with
not unnatural suspicion. Newspapers are
no longer supposed by the people simply
because they are party organs, and the man
OF foresight can find in this the beginning of
q sentiment that will eventually demand of
the press sincerity. A newspaper that en-
deavors to be just will make errors-human
judgment is not infallible, and the only
safety from errors lies in strict neutrality or
inanity-but it will also make place for
itself in the community to which mere
party organ may aspire in vain. AS this
truth becomes more generally recognized
ard as the influence of the professional
politician over the people wanes, the SUBJ
serviencv of newspapers to party leaders
will vanish, and that paper only will live
that endeavors to be just in its treatment of
all questions.

military districts, and placed under the ab-i
solute authority of military commanders.
The commanders were authorized 70 take
steps for the restoration OF civil authority
and the establishment of State Governments
The work was supervised by the military.
The negroes were admitted to a full partlcf-
patron, while many of the whites we're ex-
cluded. The military and the negroes con.
trolied the Government. The effect was to
excite strlfe and create bad blood between
the races. This was the beginning of the
period Of reconstruction. The evil infiu
ences already mentioned promoted and in
such strife the colored people became an
easy prey to the interruptions adventures
who assumed to be their special friends.
Bloodshed was frequent, and bad govern
ment was universal. Under such control
the States continued for periods varying
the condition of the people during that
time. They endured all the evils and
misfortunes that attend discordant society
and bad government. Tt was the period of
evil influences. Its legislation and Its ad-
ministfative service have left no record that
can crafty the patriot Neither race was as
secure OF any right of person or property as
before it came, or after it passed away. 1t
is barren of all fruits of good government.
1t is plain over which the lava has flowed.
Then came this. the third period in the
progress of restoration. It is yet short
in some of the States but two years,
and in others but three, four and

ment is now enjoyed In all the States. The

yesterday morning when the Mary
Morgan was approaching her pier al
this city, probably half way between
Roach's and the Market street wharf,
the Samuel FELTON, came bp behind and
soon ran alongside of her. The FELTON,
would have taken the wharf first, in
fact, ran up for that purpose, but the
Morgan had the inside track, and both
boats were running too fast for the
FELTON, to attempt to cross her bow in
order to land first.
The Mary Morgan ran up and made
last to the wharf. The FELTON, landed
her passengers over the Mary Nor
gan and then fell back opposite Weld
ner's wharf to give the Morgan time to
discharge her cargo of produce and get
a start up the river. The Mary Nor
gan got started and we'll under way up
the river when the FELTON, pursued her,
and by the time the Chester Dock Mills
were reached both boats were even, and
at Eddystone the FELTON, led a short dis.

The Truth Coming Out AbOu
the Murder Or DixOn-The ~
dependents Have . Ticket II
the Field and More Trouble IL ex
pected.
Mr.. Frank Dixen, . brother Of thu
late Captain Henry NJ. Dixon, arrived
at Washington from Yazoo County
Miss, yesterday. Mr.. Dixon is young
man of high intelligence and very
agreeable address. His account OF the
events which led to the assassination
of his brother, and of the murder itself
bear every appearance OF candor and
truthfulness.
According to his account, Barksdsle
fired at his brother from behind, and
at distance of not more than twenty
five feet. Barksdale had been lying
in wait in the drugstore of Dr.. Nc
Cormack, the chairman of the Demo-
cratic County Committee, armed with
a shot gun. Dr. Mccormack, it may be
remem bered, had been one Of Dixon's
most active enemies. To show that the
assassination was premeditated and
carefully planned, it seems that the
instant Barksdsle fired the fatal shot,
fifteen or twenty men, armed with
shot. guns, suddenly appeared in the
streets crying, "Whers is he! Kill him!
Kill HIM"
As soon as they found that Captain
Dixon was down they dispersed. The
lday before Dixon was killed he began
to prepare written statement Of his
troubles, but the manuscript could not
be found after his death. His funeral
was attended by large concourse oI
people, the number being estimated al
l,500, which seems to prove that ht
was not entirely without friends, and
that his death was not regarded with
universal joy.
On the day Of Dixon's funeral meet.
ing Of Independents was held at Yazoo
City, at which about | 800 people were
present, one third of whom we're whites.
1t was determined to nominate a full
ticket and keep 1t in the field, even il
it had to b- done with shot-guns. There
are about 1880 white voters in the
county, one third OF whom are lnte-
pcndents.
There is a very heavy colored vote,
when it can b4 polled, and al most OF
the colored voters will support the In
dependent ticket, which bears the
name OF two colored candidates, there
is every prospect Of its success. Mr..
Dixon says, however, that there will
be more trouble before the day of cleo
tion.
The regular Democrats keep up the
war on the Independent candidates and
freely threaten to Dixonize' them.
The latter are determined that they
will not yield. Mr.. Dixon says that he
can produce, at any time, the duplicate
keys to the ballot-box which were pro-
cured by the Democratic County Com
mittee at an expense of $4,000 or 50,
500, and of which his brother had the
custody. He has also the evidence to
show how the keys we're obtained and
who were in the plot to stuff the ballot
boxes.
