Below we publish the concluding part
of tha terrible story OF the murder
+ of Mrs. Chisholm's husband and daughter
and little boy, by the inhuman monsters of
Kemper county, Mississippi, as prepared by
Mrs. Chisholm fog the New York Tribune be-
fore she went South to testify on the trial.
The first part ofthe story describes the open
ing scenes of the tragedy-The murder of an
old desperate named Gully, the concocting
by his Democratic enemies of the pretense
that Judge Chisholm was privy to that MUIR
der, the gathering OF armed crowds of des-.
perate characters about his premises, his ar
rest by the Sheriff, at the dictation of the
mob, the pretended stationing of an armed
guard about the house for his protection, and
escort to the Jail, the mob being fully aware
that they only had blank cartridges in their
guns, and complete understanding existing
between them /; his final conveyance to the
Jail, with his weeping and protesting family
around him and at last the resolution of the
bloodthirsty mob of human demons to slake
their thirst with his blood. At this point we
take up Mrs. Chisholm's tale
HOLDING THE DOOR FoR PAPA-THE CHILD's
HAND SHOT OFF.
The crowd began to grow for moment
thnner-when Rosser began to rave and
curse them as set OF towards who were a.
fraid of one man. The demons outside fired
all at once, or singly, as it happened. 1t
seemed as if they were under pledge to shoot
for some came half way up, and firing, turn
ed. The axes were cutting around the iron
bar. Overstreet for moment, and only for
a moment, loosed his hold and sprang back
was trying to draw the door, but it was
nothing-and the whole protection of my hus-
bands life at the moment was Johnnie and
Cornelia. When Overstreet sprang back it
was fatal movement. Johnnie was at the
lock side of the door. Rosser's strength out
did Johnnie's and he stuck his gun through
dozen wretehes, aud fired both barrels. | do
not know whether or not both barrels struck
Johnnie's wrist, but his hand was literally
shot off save narrow strip of skin ON ei her
side of the wrist. He threw up his arms and
gave one scream looking pitifully in my face.

time TO sce or know, his fair young head and
his right shoulder and arm were against the
door. and Overstreet had once more pressed
against it so that only the time it took Rosser
to fire his gun was it open. / ran my hand
through the miserable CRATES of the door and
patted his shoulder, and smoothed and rubbed
bis face. Said |, Johnnie, my precious dar-
ling son, go back, the next load will kill you.
He only answered by tender look.

he had no time for private business In order
that he might have time to look
after his suffering interests he was re-
lieved from public responsibility few years
ago, and ought, by this time, to be doing
something for the city. Instead of having
his mind tortured by the desire for the
Berlin mission, suppose he should build only
half dozen tenement houses, occupying
only six of the several hundred unimproved
city lots he owns. The very novelty of the
thing would start new blood in his veins, and
he would have something else to think of
besides the pangs of an unrequitted desire
for Office. Only think, Mr.. Ramsey. how it
would seem to be disbursing money to st.
Paul mechanics, and in return therefor, be-
hold six structures rearing their heads upon
lots which have already eaten themselves up
with taxes. Throw Berlin to the dogs and
put little money in your pnrse by aiding in
building up the city where your property
interest lies.

TILDEN'S CAMPAIGN.

Considerable excitement has been cansed
in New York by several changes in
the Offices there which are supposed to have
been made in the interest of Mr.. Tilden's
candidacy for President in 1880. Whether
this was the purpose or not we are unable to
say, but the fact is that supporters of the
Tammany wing of the party were turned
out and friends of Mr.. Tilden put in, and
that the Tammanyites are exceeding wroth,
while the other party are rejoiced. These
official stations are esteemed important for
the reason that their patronage is large, and
by means of it votes can be controlled and
manufactured.
1t is very evident that Mr.. Tilden or his
friends-pe perhaps both-are at work in the
old way. They work shrewdly and effective.
~; are active, jealous, omnipresent; take
advantage of every emergency that
arises; make points and gain ad-
vantages from every circumstance. They
commenced the last Presidential cam
paign in the same way, and when
the convention met they were found
fully organized. informed as to every coun-
ter scheme, watchful, fertile OF expedients.
They won the nomination, and though the

was badly managed in some re.

campaign was badly managed in some re-
spects, they won the election, but were de-
frauded out of the Presidency by system
of fraud that will ever remain as stain upon
our reputation as nation. To redress the
grievance thus received Mr.. Tilden's friends
have manifestly determined to put him in
nomination once more. They may succeed.
Indeed, the probabilities are all in their IA
vor. At the election last autumn the line
was straightly drawn as to congressman in
New York between the Tilden and the Tam
many men, and when the returns were
counted it was clear that the power of Tilden
in the politics of the metropolis was
greater than had been thought. No pro-
nounced enemy of his, though supported by
the powerful political machinery of Tam
many Hall, was elected. All were buried in a
common grave. Again in the speakership
contest the Eilden influence was felt. No
power that assisted in Randall's reelection
was as powerful as that of Tilden, and had ii
not been for him, Mr.. Randall would now be
in private station in place of being in the
third place in the nation. The New York
upturning is another exhibition of the same
influence. Not only does it give Tilden a
vast amount of patronage to disburse where
it will do the most good, but it gives him
practical contapl over Tammany, and de-
prives his bitterest enemy, John Kelly, of his
capacity for doing him harm.
Whether we approve or disapprove of Til
den's candidacy, we cannot but admire the
consummate tact he and his friends have
displayed in conducting his campaign. They
have been "sly, de-vil-ish sly,'' to quote Joe
Bagstock. Their operations have been con-
Quoted secretly, and have been seen by the
public only in results. Those results have
served uniformly to advance Mr.. Tilden's
cause, both before the public and in official
circles. It is good while before the nomi-
mating convention, but at present Tilden's
star seems in the ascendant.

THE death of the Rev. DIR. James DeKoyen

THE death of the Rev. DR.. James DeKoven,
principal of Racine college, is announced by
telegraph, and will provo surprise as well
as shock to thousands throughout the
country. For many years DR.. DeKoven has
occupied leading position in the Episcopal
church of the country. His writings on
theological subjects brought him early into
prominence, and his abilities as preacher,
as we'll as his fine executive capacity, soon
gave him the position that above all things
he desired-a teacher and director of religi-
ous thought. When the bishopric of Wis
consin became vacant through the death of
Bishop Arm1tage, DR.. DeKoven was brought
forward by his admirers as a candidate. He
had not sought the Office, and even at first
refused to be considered as an applicant.
After long and troublous contest, in which
nearly hundred ballots were cast, he was
defeated. Subsequently he was nominated
for bishop of Illinois, but positively declined
the high honor. A few years ago he was in
vited to the assistant rectorship of Trinity
church, New York, the best and most lucra-
tive parochial Office in the country, but this
too, he declined, preferring to remain where
he was, as an instructor of the youth who
congregated at the theological school over
which he presided. A week ago last Sunday
he received unanimous cali to become the
rector of St. Marks church, Philadelphia,
but declined to accept it the day before
his death. No man in the church in
America will be more sadly missed than DR..
DeKoven. He was rich in theological lore,
and possessed mind we'll stored with gen.
eral literature.

TIE interview of GLOBE reporter with
ex-senator Ramsey discovers the painful
fact that he is racked with anxiety relative
to the Berlin mission. He is afraid it won't
pay to accept the appointment, and then he
is afraid he won't get it, notwithstanding
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Judge CroweIl
have united in urging the President to force
it upon him. In this painful dilemma the
GLOBE ventures to suggest something to the
ex-senator which aoiI pay. Let him improve
a little-just a little-of his city property
and he will find it will pay. St. Paul
has honored him with political favors and in
return he has done as much as any ten
men to retard our growth. Owning proper
ty in almost ali parts of the city, he never
builds anything, or grants lease which en-
ables any one else to put up more than a
shanty. The city is suffering for both stores
and residences, and one of the men who
ought years ago to have been foremost in
building up ST. Paul, lifts not finger but
allows others to increase the value of his
property by their enterprise. When he was
in public life his friends used to urge that

ANNA DICKINSON is 500 thin-skinned--too
susceptible to critcsm-to become either
successful dramatic author or actress. Every
reader of the daily papers will remember
how she stormed and fumed when her first
efforts on the stage were somewhat sharply
criticised. She seemed to think that all the
newspaper writer's in the country had en-
gagged in a conspiracy to drive her from the
stage, never for moment acknowledging
that there might be some justice in their
commenting on her acting. Now, because a
New York critic said some severe things
about her latest drama, she has burst forth
into a column of space in which she attempts
to prove him an ignoramus. Anna should
not be too violent or censure too severely
those who cannot agree with her in the be-
lief that she is the greatest dramatic writer
and actress in the world.

THE SENATE COMMIrEEEs.

The Senate standing committees have
undergone complete transformation by
the appointment of Democratic chairmen,
and the advancement of Democratic men,
bers to prominent places upon them. Those
who have examined the list of chairmen pub
lished in the GLOBE of yesterday cannot
doubt that in point of intellectual ability the
new committees are decided improvement
upon the old. Aside from partisanship, it
cannot be denied but the Democratic mem
bers of the Senate are much superior INTEL
leotually to their Republican associates.
Though in the minority for many years they
have carried great weight in the national
councils. They have been prominent in de-
bate and in the consideration of all questions
affecting the welfare Of the country. In DO
litical contests they have commanded. the at
tention of all men interested in the science of
government, and have acquitted themselves
like men.
If the Senate had been searched closely,
and each man weighed in the balance to ascer-
tain his fitness, no better men could have been
found to fill the, positions of chairnen of the
several committees than those chosen by the
Democratic caucus. The country cannot
boast an abler constitutional lawyer than
Mr.. Thurman, chairman of the Judiciary
committee. Nor could moro careful,
honest and astute man be found than Mr..
Bayard, who has been assigned to the chair
manship of the committee on finances.
Davis, Eaton, Gordon, Pendleton, McDon-
aid, VOORHEES,, Salisbury, Randolph, Nc
Pherson, Beck, Lamar, Wallace and Herman
are all men of national reputation, who
have acquitted themselves in all public sta
tions with honor to themselves and credit
to their constituencies. Against none of
them can word be uttered. They are all
not only honest, able and upright but hon
orable men, well versed in the science of
government, and thoroughly and sincerely
patriotic. The affairs of the nation could
not be left in better hands, and as a conse-
quence of their appointment we look for a
reform in our legislation to the extent of
stopping great deal of the hasty and ill
considered .enactments that have of late
brought SO much confusion upon US.

Kansas City Journal.l
The young man who secures good busi-
ness training in well conducted ''business
college, has many advantages in starting
out in life over one who has not the same
training, and for this reason every city
should have one training school of this kind.
The time is coming when this will be part
of the public school system. But this mat
ter of ''business colleges is too often over
done by inexperienced men venturing to
open just one more, which cripples the
legitimate institutions, and itself drags out
feeble existence, leaving both devoid of
usefulness. A case in point:
We notice from the st. Paul Pioneer Press
that somebody who seems to have more en-
terprise than discretion contemplates estab-
fishing another business college in that city.
This experiment of running two colleges has
been tried in places of twice or three times
the size of st. Paul, and has, we believe,
uniformly resulted in failure. The only
effect has been that, while they lasted, the
efforts of both we're crippled, thus making
an exception to the maxim that
"competition is the life of trade.'' We
know something by experience of the
college alrea ly in st. Paul, and should think
it fully adequate to the wants of the COM
munity. If it is not so considered there,
much change must have taken place in the
feelings of the public within the past year
or two that we have ceased to be conversant
with the affairs of the Northwest. At all
events the st. Paul college is conducted
by men who will not lightly yield what has
taken so many years to build up.

there is yet far too little of f.this enterprise

lying idle that ought to be made profitable
in this manner. We trust there will be

New York Times.
An emigration movement that may DOS.

ance, has recently been set on foot by Jewish
residents in this city, and looks to settle
ments in homes in the far West either of
newly arrived INDECENT Jewish immigrants,
or Of families that have been impoverished
by the hard times. At present the move
ment includes only about so families, in al
more than 100 persons, most of whom arc
recent arrivals from Hungary and from othe,
European countries, but 1t is not limited to
such, and any persons wishing to commence
life anew are invited to join the new colony.
The project is to obtain suitable lands on as
favorable terms as possible, and to parcel
them out into farms, each emigrant acquir-
ing the title to his property on certain easy
conditions. AS now composed, the colony
embraces farmers, skilled artisans, carpen-
ters, plumbers, and others who havs worked
at trades, but all of them very poor and de-
cidedly in need of helping hand. Mr..
Meirowitz, of No. 374 East Houston street,
is at present acting as an agent
for the colonists, and has put himself
in correspondence with Rev. DR.. Wise, of
Cincinnati, and leading Jewish rabbis and
men of wealth in Western cities, with a
view to obtain accurate information and re-
liable counsel. Correspondence has been
opened with prominent men belonging to
the United Hebrew Benevolent society, with
view to place the movement under such
tutelage as will command the confidence of
the community. Mr.. Meirowitz said yester-
day that it would be premature to enter into
detail, as everything depended upon replies
to letters which he had just put in the mail
He would say, however, that the movement
was not intended especially for the benefit
of the poor immigrants with whom it oripi-
mated, but would be made as large and gen
eral as possible. Prominent Hebrews in
this city and elsewhere, among them Rev.
DR.. Gotthiel, have been for q long time dis
cussing and maturing plans for the benefit
of the poor of their race in the larger cities
in this country, and convention has been
called of prominent Jewish citizens, to meet
on July 7th in this city, in order to- consider.
the best method of carrying, into execution
