.rhe Fixing. .Up Process, I"

The turfmen in the vicinity Of New.
ark had . trial Of speed at the Home.
wood Park, on Tuesday evening last,
and the Ledger" has the following
account of the way in which things are
sometimes "fxed up"
A trial of speed, best three out Of i've
heats, had been arranged to take place
between J. B. Lutton's horse and Dick
sey's cold Mare" from OgletOwn.--
Dlcksey'. animal came off victorious,
winning the first three heats out OF
FIVE.
This animal was formerly owned by
DR.. Boyd, of Landenberg, who had pro-
cured her in Philadelphia, where she
was we'll known as good track horse.
1t is said that Dickssy's method of
"fxing up" his marc is to stuff her
ears with cotton or grass, and tEen,
when neck and neck with the compe-
ting animal, pretend to vigorously give
her the whip, and also shout and yell
at her with all his might.
The animal being deaf" hears not
the yelling and instead of striking her
with the whip in reality he only hits
the shafts of the sulky. This will, in
nine eases out of ten, cause the oppos-
ing borse to "break up" and thereby
give Dicksey the race.

Sabbath Dissertation.

The "Conterence Worker" of to-day
says:
Sabbath desecration is increasing to
an alarming extent. Excursions by
steamboat and railroad seem to
be the order of the day. The
same argument is used that was
advanced in favor of the opening of the
Centennial Exhibition, in 1876 namely,
that tn" 'laboring man mus,
needs have day of rest and recreation
and the sanctity of the Sabbath must
be laid aside to afford him the desired
pleasure, forgetting the apostolic injunc
ton that we are not to DO evil that
good may come from it. We would
that not only the laboring men but all
others might see how wicked and sin.
full it is thus to desecrate Gods holy
day. Certainly there can be no good
result from such procedure, and those
who persist in thus breaking the Sab.
bath will sooner or later regret it. Let
the minister in the pulpit send forth
the warning.

WASHINGTON. July 25.--an intelli.
gent colored man, writing from Fay etts,
Miss, thus speaks OF the exodus Of bis
people from that State to the West :
THUS far few have gone from this
county, but unless there Is some
change I believe many will leave here
during the coming Fall aud Spring.
Large numbers have gone and are still
going from Frankhn County. The
whie are divided in sentiment on the
Exodus question. Ths implacable bull
dozer, even though he be land owner,
unit.s with the non-land holding
whites in encouraging the exodus move
mrnt.
Iu this the bulldozsrs are impellsd
by the belief that il they can drive ont
the negr", the country will fill up with
white laborsrs, and that the land own
ers would thus be furnished with an
opportunity to dispose Of their lands
at good prices, while the non land hold
ing whites are moved by the belief
that the departure Of the negroes will
enhance the price of labor and thus
prove pecuniarly advantageous TO them
The large land owners, however, are
anxious to stop the exodus, because
they know that negro labor alone can
be relied upon to successfully cultivate
their plantations. These divisions
among the whites hereabouts promise
to create serious discord, as they have
already done in Lincoln and Copiah
counties.
A few days agoa prominent Demo-
crat, in conversation with me, ex-
pressed the belief that Mississippi was
. doomed State, and added that he was
anxious to sell out his property at q
low figure in order that he might go
elsewhere. The Democracy is threaten
ed with disruption on the exodus ques-
ton, and should they divide and in
vite the Republicans to join one side or
the other, it is likely check will be
given to the emigration movement.
The same correspondent, writing of
political affairs says: "The general
belief among Republicans is that there
will be considerable division among the
Democrats next Fall throughout the
State, and in consequence, that chance
will bs given the Republicans to vote
and to have their votes fairly counted
on one side or the other, presuming
that they will have no ticket of their
own in the field. 1t is quite probable
that in some counties the Republicans
will be permitted to resume their party
and run candidates for
local Offices.
Whatever may be- done this year,
however, by the Republicans, will be
done for the purpose mainly Of uniting
their forces and making preparation
for the national campaign Of $780,
While General Grant is, beyond all
doubt, the choice Of Mississippi Repub.
licans for President in 1880. they will
earnestly support whoever may be
nominated by the Republican Conven-
tion."

Courage that Fsrsook him Re.
turns and the Valiant Editor
Blacks the Eye Of his Opponent.
Among the paper carriers of this
city there Is a-wide-awake colored boy
named BROOKS. His energy and perse.
verancs have secured quite an extensive
circulation Of our city papers. more es-
pecially the REPUBLICAN. This lat RI
fact seems to have riled the editor OF
the big sheet at Fifth and Market, and
he upon Que occasion stopped to an un-
dignifed wrangls Of words over the
matter with the news.oy. Upon that
occasion Mr.. Croasdale, the editor.
asked Christopher How many papers
he sold Z"
Christopher replied promptly Forty
five" Every Evenings and ninety
REPUBLICANS.
The fine sensibilities of the editor
were greatly outraged and hs accused
the boy with sticking REPUBLICANS here
"Every Evenings" we're wan.ed. The
boy denied the imputation, whsreupon
the editor turning to Mr.. Schrack the
gentleman who has charge of the de-
livery department, ordered him " not
to give the "nigger" any more papers,
Christopher retired peacefully but as
his customers desires had to be copsid-
cred in the matter and knowing that
his REPUBLICAN patrons would not be
put OF with copies of the "bis ors~a"
he was compelled to hire a white boy to
secure the papers.
According to the statement made 1t
appears that Mr.. Croasdale has exhibit
cd the ungentlemanly side Of his char
acter in his intercourse with Brooks,
even driving. him off the CONNER
cial corner where the news boys of the
city congregate.
Yesterday afternoon while Christie
pher with his arm full of REPUBLICANS
was standing upon the forbidden spot,
the big editor, unfortunately for Chris
tophsr, put in an appearance and ordered
him to leave.
Christopher Of course wouldn't do it,
and he resented the demand as an In
fringemeut upon those privileges which
he held in common with other news
boys, and so he informed Mr.. Croasdale
that he would not go unless he put
the other boys from the corner.
1t seems that from Brooks statement
Mr.. Croasdale very passionately took
hold Of him and sndeavorsd to force
him of. In the struggle the editor tore
the shirt from the boys back, slapped
him across the face, kicked him and
struck him in the eye from the effect of
which i'll treatment several bruises were
sustained, the principal one being In
the eye which is swollen and discolor-
ed.
Christopher went at once to the Office
of Esquire Brady and had a warrant
sworn out. The trial was to come of at
eleven o'clock this morning, but Mr.. !
Croasdale waived hearing and he was
held in 5000 bail to answer at Court.

A Contradiction.

Amor Chandler, the gentleman, who
had charge Of the bread and provision
tent at Brandywine Summit Camp
meeting last year, authorizes us to
state that at no time on Sunday during
the prevalence OF that camp was Ice
cream or cigars sold on Sunday, and
the report that is flying around that
the Sabbath was desecrated In this
manner Is positively incorrect. The
stand was open an hour in the mern-
ing for the sale of broad, milk, cheese
and all such provisions as were needed
at the boarding tables; it was open
again at noon and after half past 4 o..
clock in the evening, but at no time on
