TWO CIVILIZATIONS.
washington Post.)


Mr.. James A. Barksdale, of Yazoo
City, Miss, did not shoot ii. NJ
Dixon from behind, or from the port
hole Of a closed carriage. He met
him almost face to face. Dixon
pulled out navy revolver and Bark
sda!e snatched up shot quo. Both
fired, bu. BsrksdaIe's was the truer
aim, and Dixon fell. 1t was the life
Of one or the other, and both kne"
it. For this bloody personal en-"
counter between two obscure des-
peradoes, the satanic Radical press
demand Federal military interven-
ton, and the obliteration of State.
In San Francisco Saturday the
strong Republican city of San Fran
cisco where by frauds of colossal
character enough illegal votes were
thrown 10 November, 1876, to
change the electoral vote of the State
from Tiden to Hayes, a lifelong
Republican editor met lifelong Re
publican politician of national Promi-
hence, and poured the contents OF a
revolver, first into his breast, and
next into his back, The Republican
editor concealed his murderous pur~
pose and deadly aim behind the cur
tains Of closed carriage, SO that for
the murdered man there was neither
premonition, nor the possibility of
defense or escape.
Now, managers of the radical sa1
tanic press, be good enough to in
form us: If Missi sippi is the refuge
of fends, what is California.
If Yazoo City should be swept
from the face of the earth, or sown
with salt, what of San Francisco p
If for 200 men to say to the deso
perado Dixon, "yOu shall not make
savages of 5000 negroes, and lead
them to the destruction Of our hearths
and homes," is crime against civil
zatioo, what designation do you give
to the act of Charles DeYoung =
What distinction do you make be -,
tween the thousand cool and deter,
mined men assembled at Yazoo City
to declare that they will prevent a
bloody conflict between two races,
and the 10000 frantic Sand letters
in San Francisco threateninglto sack
the city and lynch their political OPP
ponent
Is there one among you honest
enough to answer either OF these
questions 2

ABsENTEES.

THE absence of Legislators from
their seats in time of session, works
great damage to the successful pro-
gress Of business. Repeatedly the
roll has to be called in order to find
out if quorum is present. If these
Legislators think that their constitu'
ents sent them there to draw four
dollars per day and to be absent fro"
their seats half the tims.sFhereby
delaying business and Increasing the
burdens of taxation, then they had
better 60 home and let others be
sent there who will bo faithful in the
discharge of the duties devolving
upon them as Legislators.

WHEN the fifteenth amendment
was before the Senate, in its original
shape, it provided that the right of
suffrage should not be denied ION
account of race, color, previous con-
dition Of servitude, or nativity. -
Mr.. Anthony secured the striking
out of the words cor nativity" de-
claring that Rhode Island you'd not
give her consent to the amendment if
il prohibited her from DISTINGUISHING
foreign born citizens. This, says
the Washington Post, is a valuable
contribution to current political dis
cussion. 1t shows how persistently
the Rhode Islaod ring has disfran
chised those of her citizens most
likely to vote the Democratic ticket.
II shows that the Radicals in Con
gress, while forcing the South under
the control of the rude and ignorant
negro, not better qualified for suf>
frage than horse, were c.nsenting
to the Rhode Island plan of disfran-
chisiog thousands of intelligent citi
zens, ostensibIy because they we're
born on the other side of the ocean,
but really because they were Demo~
Gratis. Mr.. Anthony and his party
will hear more of this before many
months.

IT is difficult to believe that mul
titudo of people, equal in MURDER to

is the statement that comes on the
authority of Mr.. Forrest, the English
Consul at Tientsin. Nor has this
terrible visitation yet passed away !;

Two interesting specimens OF the
ourang outang have been placed IN
the Jardin d'Acclimation, Paris, the
older one having been captured with
others at Borneo, after desperate
chase, in the course of which eight
natives lost their lives. The aul~
mails fell into an elephant trap, thirty
feet deep, and were gradually res
duced by hunger to a state OF weak
nass. when they were garroied and
shut up in a cage. The largest one
measures about FIVE feet. and - SAID
to be the largest ever brought to
Europe.

The shot gun is to be introduced
into the army, the board of officers
to consider the equipment of troops
having recommended that the caval~
ry be furnished with smooth bore re
voIvers and buckshot cartridges
Such weapons would be, to all in~
tents and purposes, small shot'guns,
much more effective at short ranges
and in the hands of inexperienced
marksmen than rihed pieces. Very
few men can do accurate work with
revolvers, as is shown by the almost
daily records of bystanders shot by
policemen or belIigerents and to
cavalrymen, shooting from the
horses backs, a revolver that will
cover wide field with back shot
will doubtless prove much more eff
fecti1e than one that throws a single
ball.

A Manchester (Englapd) paper,
summarizing the labor situation, says
the coming winter promises to be
one of the most severe experienced
for many years. Further reduction
of wages are threatened as the only
way of avoiding entire stoppage of
work, and such reductions will ne
cessarily sggravate the unfortunate
condition of laborers. The worst of
it is that there is not the slightest
reason to expect an Improvement
sufficient to relieve the strin
gency this year, next year, or ever.
The only wsy.o&.o& The ahiiculty is
for large percentage of the present
manufacturing population Of Eng
land to find other means of subsis
tence, either there OF elsewhere.

A remarkable freak of lightning
is recorded in French newspaper.
A farm laborer, runniog for shelter,
vas suddenly thrown to the ground,
the fork he carried on his shoulder
being wrenched from his grasp and
carried through the air to distance
of fifty or sixty yards The prongs
were bent and twisted with well nigh
mathematical accuracy into the shape
of corkscrews, the steel being burnt,
and formed, on its exterior surface,
into small Iamiun which emitted a
slightly sulphurous odor. The la
borer escaped without injury.

CAPITAL cannot compel any man
to work unless it is the will of the
man to do SO and where capital
has til, power and uses it to the dis
tress of labor it is tyranny. Capital
has no soul, but has life, and if the
employed kill GU. that life he must
suffer. With a union Of purpose to
benefit each other, capital and labor
can enjoy the blessings of mutual
success.
