RETURNED EXoDUsTERs.- Mississippi
correspondent of the Nashville American
has this to say about the meagre few of
the Kansas exodusters who have man.
aged to crawl decrepit and forlorn to
their old stamping ground on the Mis-
issippi:
The returning few who have been able
to get back from the "happy land" have
had a wonderful effect in chilling the
ardor of the prospective emigrant.-
Their abject poverty, their rags and their
pinched faces tell a far more eloquent
story, and one that touches the heart of
the negro more forcibly than their YER
bal accounts of suffering and want, of
diseases and death, of famine and cold.
Some who q year ago left with full
purses, good teams and all the necessary
comforts, who left with buoyant hopes
and joyous anticipations of the cosy cot
tage, the green pastures, the fertile
fields and the abundant crops, with the
beautiful prairie stretching away to the
horizon with herds of buffalo, deer and an.
telopes in the distance, and all sorts of
things to make up the picture like the
cheap chrome, which delighted their
eyes and fed to excess their Imagination,
have returned, broken in spirit and in
fortune, having left their teams and
household goods in strangers hands, hav-
ing left some of their loved ones sleeping
beneath the inhospitable sod of Kansas,
glad, only too happy, to get back them
selves to their sunny Southern home,
poorer in this worlds goods but richer
far in experience.

"LET THE MUD DRY FIRsT."-Here
is capital lesson that may we'll be i'm
pressed upon the memory Of both young
and old: Mr.. Spurgeon in walking a lit
tic way out Of London to preach CHANGED
to get his pantloons quite muddy. A
good deacon met him at the door and
desired to get brush and take off some
of the mud. "Oh, no." said Mr.. S.,
"don't you see it is wet, and if you try to
brush it now, you will rub the stain into
cloth? Let it dry, when it will come off
easy enough and leave no mark" So
when men speak evil of us falsely
throw mud at us-don't be in hurry
about brushing it of. Too great eager
ness to rub it off, is apt to rub it
in. Let it dry; by and by, if need
be, a little effort will remove it.
Don't foster scandal about yourself or
others, or trouble in a society, or in a
church, haste to do something. Let it
dry; it will be more easily eradicated
than you think in the first heat of ex-
citement. Time has wonderful power
in such matters. Very many things in
this world will be easily got over by ju-
diciously, letting them dry."-American

The CHUFA FAILURE.-The Will
mington IN. C.) Reuie,o says: Spanish
chufa is failure. At least SO it is pro-
nounced by many who has given it what
they consider a fair test. Some of the Pen
der county farmers who have tried it
thoroughly for two seasons past tell us
that they have planted the last of it.
They say that it not only does not make
good meat, out that it draws from the
ground where it is planted every particle
of life and sustenance, leaving an almost
barren waste where was once fruitful
fields. II is true that hogs take to it
kindly, but the fat of the meat raised on
it is go soft that pork, as such, is almost
unsaleable, and the meat after being
cured will continue to drip as long as
there is any grease left in it. One in
stance is related of a farmer who fed
with it very extensively last year, and
who has never yet been able to get the
lard into anything but liquid State
He calls, it, very properly, hog OIL
There will be very little Spanish chufa
planted in this section next year."

SOME MISTAKE AS TO CAROLINA
There is threatened split in the Dem
ocratic party in South Carolina, and it is
intimated that Wade Hampton will have
to step down from the Senate and run for
Governor again in order to keep the old
thing from going to pieces-Baltimore
Gazette.
The Gazette manages to make more than
one mistake in q paragraph of less than
six lines. If there is a threatened split
in the Democratic party of South Carroll
ma no one is aware of the fact except the
able editor of the Gazette. There is moth
ing to cause split among our friends
across the Savannah. There are gentlemen
of character, ability and undoubtcd De-
mocracy who desire the nomination for
Governor. Their friends are striving to
crafty their wishes. The same things
are true of every State in the Union
where an election is to be held next
year. But when the Democratic Con-
vention of South Carolina ends the strug-
gle by naming the nominee, the friends of
the other aspirants will cheerfully abide
the decision and Loyalty support the can
didate of the party. There is not the
slightest probability that General Hamp-
ton will resign his seat in the Senate in
order to run for Governor, nor is there
any necessity for such action on his part.
There is no danger of the Democratic
party of South Carolina going to pieces.
The people of that State have had eight
years of Radical rule and they have not
so soon forgotten what Radical rule
means. General Hampton is deservedly
popular and influential in the State, but
neither General Hampton nor any other
man is South Carolina The State is
not so poor in intellect and integrity
that she can produce but one great
citizen at time. The people love
and respect their standard bearer of
1876, but if there had been no
such man as Hampton South Carolina
would be free commonwealth to-day ;
and if he were to die tomorrow (which
God forbid) the State would not lack no.
BILE sons to take their great leaders place.

AS the visitors to Jackson returned home,
north east, south and west, they spread it
every where. The rigid critic of the
words, in the light of this hour, may not
feel their full force as we experienced it
then, but, surely, the "Marsellies Hymn"

warmly received than was our simple little
"Bonnie Blue Flag" and of which one of
the first lawyers in the south was the

Sentinel: A night Or two ago Johnny Duns-
ton, who keeps saloon in New Town, on
Ruby Hill, retired for the night, and before
doing so, placed bag containing 24oO in gold
coin, under his pillow. During the night he
awoke, and found two masked men by the
bedside, who mildly intimated that they
would relieve him of any further anxiety re-
garding the money, and requested him to
hand it over, producing at the same time a
couple of shooting irons to enforce obedience.
Johnny deemed it useless to argue the matter,
and reluctantly complied. There is no clue
to the robbers.

The Postofice Department has received the
report of the special agent sent to investigate
in regard to the shooting of Fred Nix, Jr,,
The report strongly condemns not only the as
sailing party, but the entire community, for
not protecting the Postmaster, and attributes
the attack upon Nix to animosity arising from
his politics and color. The Department has
not as yet taken any action upon the report,
but the matter will be referred to the Attorney
General to ascertain whether anything can le-
gally be done for the Postmaster,s protection
from further injury.

The Ute outbreak is attributed at Wash

The Ute outbreak is attributed at Wash
ington, to prospectors who entered the reser-
walton and because the Secretary of the In
terror would not buy out the region they
wished to prospect, declared their intention
of forcible entry and self protection. This
being opposed to the treaty with the tribes,
and a practical seizure of territory coded
to the Utes; of course, Secretary
Schurz refused protection and also
warned them of the danger of interfering
with the reservations. Governor Pitkin
of Colorado, denies emphatically the state
ment of Secretary Shurz and asserts that no
entertainments whatever, were made upon
the Indians, or that either they or Agent
Neeker had made complaints on that ground
that the difficulty arose from the fact that
cattle for the sustentation of the tribe had
been put upon the reservation, and that the
Indians claimed the increase in stock, and
insisted on the purchase of the usual beef
rations. This claim was not complied with
and the Indians taking umbrage, during
this state of i'll feeling, ambuseaded three
companies of cavalry in their march toward
the reservation, killing the command
ing officer and ten of his men, and murder
ing number of others. Governor Pitkln
argues that for several reasons the whites
never invaded the territory on the reserva-
was no safety for life, nor could they secure
valid titles for any claim they light dis
cover. The prospectors, he argues, cannot
be held responsible for the outbreak The
small force sent to guard and watch them, lies
probably at the bottom of the affair, with
probably, here and there, the inroad of some
adventurous prowlsr, ignorant of the bOnnds
of the reservations nothing, however, war
ranting, even from those half civilized red
SKINS, the ambuscading and killing OF the sol
diers of the Government who are exled to
those distant mountain regions for their pro-
lection, as we'll as that of the white settler.
1t will cost the Government less to disarm,
and keep disarned, those prowling hordes,
than to furnish them with full rations and al
low them to butcher troops, devastate settle
ments and steal stock; permitting them to
retain arms they have learned to use too well,
under pretence that they need them to shoot
game. If the Indian is determined to retain
his Indian habits, let him go back to his bow
and arrow, and stone knife; but keep out of
his hands those instruments of destruction
which have cost so many lives, and the country
so many millions Of treasure.

A LITTER in the Chronicle of Friday even
ing over the signature of John Smith gives
sly fling at the local papers of Carson be-
cause they have not noticed an affair, which
up to this time is simply f1nla clamosa. The
MORNING APPEAL has an article of faith, which
it would be we'll for the sake of justice, if all
journals would copy; it is this: that when a
case, involving the character or lives of indi-
viduals, came before the public, and is thrown
into the courts, never to PREJUDICE it by bias
sing public opinion in regard to its merits.
The newspaper, while ii should be a censor of
public morals, is not judge and jury, and
when it assumes that role, it steps beyond its
province and does violence to public opinion.
That the present case has passed unnoticed,
was perhaps an oversight of reporter; that it
was noticed by the Carson Valley Neaes is
probably proof that some interested John
Smith furnished the item, and that the case is
one of litigation is sufficient reason for the
APPEAL to await the decision of legal tribu-
nal, before expressing an opinion of it's merits,
and perhaps creating prejudice against a
man who may be entirely innocent. A ques-
ton to a witness by cute lawyer (thoush
ruled out) has usually the same effect as though
answered, and cases of this kind, are usually
judged ON first impressions. We have no idea
that the public lost much in overlooking the
item, as the charge will be judged by the re-
suit of trial; and we are satisfied to let JUS
tice have its course in all snch cases without
regard to politics, previous condition color,
and We will grant the correspondent of the
name of John Smith, the same grace.
