DIsTINGUIsHED DEATH.

Hon. K. N. Cooke died at his resi-
'dcnce in Salem last Tuesday, aged 60
years. He was one of OregOn's earliest
pioneers, and was for eight years State
Treasurer. He was one of Salem's
most energetic, wealthy and influential
citizens, and that community may well
mourn his loss. He was father-in-law
of Hon. 7. McF. Patton, Inspector Of
Customs at Portland.

The Administration and the Color
Line.

Great Indignation is expressed through
the Columbus Independent at the APP
pointment of the colored ex-senator
Gleed, by the Hayes Administration, to
the office of Deputy Internal Revenue
Collector Gleed fourished in the DAYS
of the Radical saturnalia in this State !;
he was known as one of the most rabid
of the clan in his hatred of the white
race, but had quietly subsidized with the
rest of them, under the tidal wave which
swept over the State in 1875 and Is.
Why has this furious black-liner been
resurrected and set up in authority over
the people again, it is not difficult to I'M
derstand. 1t is a revival of the color
line programme with view of suppress
ing the influence of the whites in the
administration of the State government
by the supposed numerical superiority of
the blacks. The game will not win.
Commenting upon it, the Columbus In
dependent enters the indignant protest
of the people for whom it speaks,
saying:
The President has done a wrong to the negro
in again thrusting him into politics 1t is elating
the with hope which cannot be realized.
1t is sedueing him from the peaceful pursuits of
an honest livelihood into angry contests against
those whose friendship is his only security and
whose aid is his only support. He has done
wrong to the negro in requiring of him the per
Torrance of duties he cannot discharge. I'm
agine Gleed entering the business place of
gentleman and charging him with defrauding
the government! Imagine him out In the Rural
districts hunting up distiIlers
In the past he has been a fugitive from the
wrath of this outraged community and dared
creep back TO his home only on assurance of
protection by Democratic authorizes.
If the President has sought to insult the South
he has only excited their contempt. They are
not Inundated, only disguised. Nor are they
inundated They only more aroused 20
the high resolve to destroy the party whose
policy is so mistaken as to lead to crime, whose
resentment deseends to petty wrongs and whose
hate would destroy the peace of Communities

THE Natchez Sun complains that the
public school fund has not been distrib-
uted to the several counties, and init
mates that the Auditor and the Super
intendent of Public Instruction have
been in some way derelict in attending
to their duties in that behalf A brief
statement will show that the implication
Is wholly unjust, not only to the Super
intendent, who has no control whatever
over the matter, but to the Auditor
The distribution of the fund was DELAYED
in consequence of the delay of Chancery
Clerks in several counties in reporting the
amount of forfeitures and fines which
constitute a portion of the school fund
and which the law requires shall be re-
tanned in the counties where they are
collected. In the absence of complete
reports, it was impossible for the Audi
tor to make the distribution. On in
quiry we learn that these reports are
now all on hand, and that the Auditor
is making the distribution. 1t is
an easy matter to find fault; but justice
requires that public censors should
acquaint themselves with the facts before
doing so.

Lowry" as a medical student in the Office Of
DIR. J. b. Ellis in ISIS. At that time he
was considered a little wild, very spright-
ly, progressed rapidly in his studies. He be-
came prominent as physician and surgeon In
the latter branch he was no conservative, hav-
ing performed the most difficult operations in
Obstetric Surgery, " Caesarian section" before
he reached his twenty-second year. But see
ing the great disparity between the labor and
responsibility, on the one hand and the pleas
ure and profit on the other, in connection with
the practice, he abandoned the profession at
early day, and substituted the more agreeable
business Of merchant and trader. The late
papers report the sudden death of DIR. w. L.
Lowry, from pistol shot, in the recent " horri-
bic tragedy" at Johnsonville Miss, in which
sad ahray three out of the four engaged,
were killed on the spot, the fourth seriously
wounded. The writer was intimately acquain-
ted with DIR. Lowry, having been his room
mate both in Ripley and in the city of Louis
vile, Kentucky, and he takes pleasure in bear
ing testimony to the Doctors many good quail
ties. truer friend no man ever had than
VIM L. Lowry Next after his bereaved wife
and six fatherless children the blow falls heavi-
est upon his aged father, Col. Robert Lowry
OF Baldwin; and next perhaps, on his brother,
whom the Doctor almost idolized Gen Robert
Lowry, of Brandon.

The Spea kership.

Congress assembled yesterday. Wheth-
er the choice of Speaker of the House
falls to Mr. Randall or Mr. Blackburn,
the country (Which includes the abused
and deeply wronged South will suffer
no detriment. Southern Representa-
tives do not agree among themselves in
making the selection. Some are for one,
and some for the other. Either will do.
Mr.. Randall was one of the faithful
few, who with Beck, Cox and others, a
mere corporals guard, threw themselves
between the revengeful measures of the
fanatical Republican party, and the
South, in the early days of re-
construction when she had no rep
resentatives of her own to plead her
cause and when it cost a Northern man
his life almost, much less his political
existence, to breathe her name except
with excavations. As presiding officer
he has been impartial without neglect
ing the interests of his party. As for
Mr.. Blackburn two years ago, when
we witnessed his gallant leadership, in
the contest for Right against Fraud, we
mentioned him in connection with the
place for which he has now been desig-
mated We can not but feel kindly to
him when we see the New York Trib-
une denouncing him as ''filibuster
(there were rs of them) against execu-
ting the law creating the Electoral Com
mission, who did all in his power to
prevent the completion of any count OF
the electoral votes"
In the race Messrs Money and Single
ton are set down for Mr.. Randall and
Messrs. Chalmers, Hooker and Manning
for Mr. Blackburn-Col Muldrow's
position is not defined in any account
we have seen.
p. S Mr.. Randall was nominated by
the Democratic caucus on the first
ballot and elected by small majority.

ANSWER.

We Will answer our correspondents
questions as directly as possible. 1st.
We thought that the article referred to,
was plain enough for all to understand.
We said-that but for the united efforts
of all the true people in Mississippi in
1875, the Radical yoke, could not have
been thrown off
End. We have never heard that any
that election. We know that large
number of colored men did, but believe
they were disguised with the Radical
party, and only needed the assurance of
protection from bulldozing black-liners,
to join with the white people to throw
off the yoke alike oppressive to both
races. We believe that the old Wings
would have voted any ticket that
had for its object the defeat of
Ames and his gang. What does our
correspondent think about it? We
never heard of Independents in the
State until after the election in 1875.
3rd The third question is answered
in the second.
4th. The omission of the word g con-
sentative" from the platform adopted by
the State Convention, was purely cleri-
cal, and inadvertent, and was promptly
supplied by the State Executive Com
mittee.
9th. We do not see what connection
the politics of New York, has with the
subject, but we Will answer emphatically
it is not fact The Democrats voted
for Dorsheimer, but being in a minority
in the Legislature, Conkling was elect
ed. We will inform our correspondent,
that the New York Legislature is elect
ed under Radical apportionment, in
which the large Democratic counties
are not given their just representation,
while small Republican counties are
given more representatives than they
are entitled to. Very much in the
manner in which this State was jerry
wandered before 1876. The Democrats
have not controlled the Legislature OF
New York for many years. AT one time
they had a majority in the House suffi-
cient to elect Senator Herman but the Sen
ate being Republican, no fair apportion-
ment law could be passed. THE CLAIR
ION has been "quiet on the subject" of
the New York Senatorial election be
cause we never once supposed that any Of
its readers, were so badly informed as tc
believe that the Democracy of New
York had anything to do with the re
election of Senator Conkling.

Edmund r. Noel, Esq, of Holmes.

This talented and meritorious young
for the Legislature in Holmes county.
We beg not to be considered obstrusive in
copying, for the purpose of warmly en-
dorsing, the following deserved tribute
to him in the Lexington Advertiser.
The writer from his own early manhood
has known his honored parents, and he
knows that none but a worthy scion
could spring from such a stock. 1t has
been rule with the good old county of
Holmes to cherish her native sons-take
them by the hand and help them up and
onward if they showed determination
to help themselves. See her generous
treatment of her Carriers, her OWNS,
her Hoskins', and her Hookers, and how
worthily they have repaid her kindness,
serving her faithfully and rejecting honor
upon her in return. And the election
of this talented and promising young
member of the bar, Mr.. E. F. Noel,
who was born on her soil and has never
felt an aspiration in which her fortunes
were not mingled, will be in the strict
line of her previous conduct. 1t is not
necessary to add that he is candidate
subject to nomination by his party:
Lexington Advertiser
1t will be seen that E. F. Noel, Esq, ris-
ing young lawyer, Is a candidate for Repre-
sentative from Holmes county, in the Legisla-
ture. Mr. N has been true to his trusts as a
man and lawyer, has level head, and if elect
ed will represent the county with credit to
himself and constituency.
