REPUTATION UP NORTH.

Several of the big Republican papers
have taken to calling tho Democratic
party the "Debt-repudiating party"
The New York Tribune has devoted a
considerable part of it's talents to the
conduct Of this assault. The Tribune
does not consider the facts which con-
travene it's position as, for example,
the State of Maryland, whose credit is
at the top of the market. Maryland
State bonds and Baltimore city bonds
are sold at handsome premium and
are in no greater danger of repudiation
than the bonds of the United States or
English consols, and yet Maryland and
Baltimore have both been under un-
disputed Democratic rule for the past
twelve years. Other examples of this
sort might be cited but this is suffi-
cient refutation of the calumny. Let
US now look at the other side of the
picture. The State of Illinois and the
State of Kansas have been considered
Republican strongholds. The State OF
Kansas, which gave majority OF
3s, ,4Ss for Grant and 81, ,5l1 for Hayes,
is in default S5,547 900. 1t has refused
and still refuses to pay interest on its
indebtedness. Nearly every county in
the State has repudiated its bonds
The New York Tribune is stone-bIind
to these facts. Again, Illinois gave
Hayes a small majority and gave
Grant a majority of 53,3Is votes. Tts
local indebtedness is very generally
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1879-10-03

repudiated. Its counties have renu,li.
ated to the amount of $S,517 900, The
State of Minnesota, also, with Re-
publican majority Of 1880 votes, has
repudiated its entire railroad State
bonds. When the carpet -baggers were
in power in the South they repudiated
the State bonds in every instance and
piled up besides additional State debts
by downright stealing. It Is not SO
strange that some Of these States should
have defaulted upon the debt created
In spite Of them by carpet-baggers up
held by bayonets, but what excuse can
be made by Illinois, Kansas and Min
nesota The attempt to fix upon the
Democratic party the stigma of repudi-
alton is thus sheer SANDER, due in part
to ignorance and In part to deliberate

tions in Lent not unfrequently num-
bered near five hundred, and were
largely composed of men. In personal
appearance DR.. Harris is eminentfy
attractive, noble, and dignified, but
gentle and accessible. In manners and
nature he is a thoroughbred gentleman,
the mirror of courtesy, and has a
heart full of love and genial sympathy
for all, for rich and poor, high and low.
A good scholar, extensively read in
theology, he Is yet no book-worm, but
emphatically man of affairs, with
the practical genius of IL lawyer, and
the administrative capacities which
might have made him a statesman.
AS speaker he is clear as light, CO.
gent in argument, eloquent in diction,
and sustained in thought, with a man
ner impressive by its earnestness, a
good voice, and gesture graceful but
not excessive. AS a churchman DIR.
Harris will rank with the high con-
servative school, without any sympa-
thy with the extreme element in the
church.

YAZOO MURDER CASE.

The following telegram to tho Gin
cinnati Commercial forcshadows the
tenor of Mr.. B. G. Keller's report to
the Chicago Times from Yazoo City,
which will probably give a different
coloring to the "Yazoo affair'' from
that given it by the Cincinnati Com
mercial, Evansport Journal, Lamar
(Iowa) Sentinel, Vicksburg Herald
ana other papers which are now pick
ing up every straw that will. throw
weight in the scales of Justice as against
the South, he had u conversation with
Mr. Keller as he passed through our
city. He Informed us that he was or
dered by his paper to go to Yazoo aud
and from this telegram we opine that
he has done SO:
CHICAGO, September "A.
me Times of tomorrow will con-
tain a six column article on the murder
of Dixon by Barksdale in Yazoo county,
Miss. 1t was prepared by a member
of the Times corps who was sent down
to attend the Chisoim murder trial.
and was subsequently set to work to
get at the truth of tho Yazoo affair.
The article gives accounts of both
Dlx0n's friends and enemies, and the
conclusion reached is that there is no
doubt whatever that Dixon was a gam
bier, a murderer and probably a thief;
that he was the leader of bulldozers In
1875, when the Democrats carried the
State by force; that he hanged seven
negroes during that campaign of two
months; that he became an Independ-
ent because the Democrats would not
have him any longer; that he grossly
and wrongfully slandered Barkstlale'ss
sister and mother, and that If Barks-
dale had not killed him for personal
reason, some one else would for politi-
cal reasons.

1t is related of General Dick Taylor,
that during tho Derby races tho Prince
of Wales took him to his own (the
prince's) stand, and as they were as
cending the stairs, tho Duke of Edin-
burg came hastily up and said:
go Wales do you know Forester is
booked to win ?''
"Oh, yes" said the prince, "the
general and I have just been to the
betting stand, and laid 90 guincas each
on him."
Turning to Taylor, the duke said
"Now, won't you please go to the
stand and lay so guineas for mo on
him?" ...'.
"Pardon me, your highness," said
Taylor, "the stand is quite as near to
you as to me-" ...
81 am so glad you told Edinburg
that" said the prince. "What a deal
of cheek he has to be asking my guest
to lay his bets for him."
Taylor had a sincere respect and lik-
ing for the prince, and a hearty con-
tempt for the Duke of Edinburg, whom
he snubbed on more than ono occa-
sion. Apart from the personal charac-
ter of the duke, he was only the Sec
ond son of a queen, while Taylor was
the only son Of a real president Of the
United States.
