A Bad Example Followed.

Without known precedent, and GER
tainly contrary to both the letter and
the spirit of'the organic law, the Gov
ernor Of Massachusetts, Hon. Elex-
ander Hamilton Rice, dropped his
ministerial character and took the
responsibility of inquiring into the
motives Of Governor Hampton, Of
South Carolina, in altering rcquisi-
ton for one Kimpton, a fugitive from
justice. This judicial inquiry was
the first false step, and it had to be
followed by others, Of course. The
motives we're found to be political,
and the rcquisition was dishonored,
IN act MS disgracelul rs it was illegal.
In spirit it sought 10 establish
State right tlIat Alexander Hamilton
IWopldshaye acorneato consider, and
wliichthe most I'D dsanced Democrat
u 4
tire Kimpton saw what a bad. blum
der had been made, and he surrender
ed himself TO the authorities of South
Carolina, and had Governor Rice ac-
knowledged his error no harm would
avefollowcd his decision OF this case
But the precedent was set and the
order was not revoked. Pretty soon
Massachusetts sent for two criminals
who had led from the "Ba Statc"
to "Little Rhody,' and, although
Governor Fanzandt was willing to
honor the acquisitions of Governor
Rice, he thought it best to inform
that official that he questioned his
motives and would first investigate
them. Meanwhile the scoundrels es-
capped the clutches Of the police and
are still at large. Nor did the bad
example rest here, for recently Gov
crnor IIactranft sent acquisitions TO
the Chief Magistrate Of Western
State for some persons charged with
high crimes and misdcmcanors who
had fled from the jurisdiction of
Pennsylvania, and they are yet unno-
ticed or unanswered, because General
Cullom, the Governor of Illinois,
"qucstions the motives" of Governor
IIartranft, and will first inquire into
the cases Of the allcdgcd criminals
before he delivers them up to the
watching and waiting "minions Of the
law from Pennsylvania" And there
is no telling where this dangerous
practice will stop unless some one
brings the case before the Supreme
Court Of the United States for final
tlement.-I'hiludclphiI Enquirer.

over, under the new regime, while
equality and economy went hand in
hand, education shed its beneflccnt
influence over the State as never be-
fore. The average yearly school at
tendance under Republican admins
tration for seven years was 37,429
white and 4G,491 colored under two
years of Democratic administration
it was 50,291 white and 59,O3G color

paying off debt Of S1S5,OOO to
teachers, incurred by Republican per-
version Of school funds.
Such facts as these could he re.
hcarscd by the column and no better
reasons for change of party allegi-
ance could be asked. 1t is no won
der that the negro turned upon the
party that had betrayed his touching
confidence. The only wonder is that
the Democrats found. it, necessary to
commit asingle fraud or to incur the
slightest suspicion Of fraudin order to
swell the majority in favor of an all
ministration like Wade Hampton's

MINORITY REPRESENTATION.


A BILL WHOSE EFFECI WILL DE TO
BREAK UP THE "sOLID SOUTH" IN
CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON, Dccember ga
bill is in process Of preparation hav.
ing for its object minority representa-
tion in Congress, and will probably
be introduced in the House soon after
the rcassemblage of Congress. 1t
proposes to have the Legislature of
each State, after the apportionment
Of the next census, to rcdis.rict the
State, that the minority may be cnti-
tied to representation. The plan
proposed is an ingenious one, aEd if
i'll force at the last election would
have secured from the South over
thirty Republican members, twenty
of whom would have been colored
men, while, on the other hand, the
Democrats would have gained a cor
responding number il Tie North.
by this plan, it carried out ct the
the next election, tho Democrats will
have small majority, but all parts
of the country alike will be represent
cd by Republicans as well as Demo
Gratis. The plan is to so divide each
State into districts that The districts
may, US far as possible, be settled TO
elect either three or five members
each, thus permitting the majority of
voters TO elect two out of three or
three out of five. In case the dis
trict is entitled TO three representa-
tivcs each, the electors can vote for
two candidates and no more. In
case the district is entitled to five
representatives each, the electors can
vote for three candidates, and no
more. Where the State is entitled
to two representatives only, as in the
case of Florida and Rhode Island, il
is to be divided into two districts,
each elccting one member, rs at res
cnt, as in this case q majority and
minority representation would be i'm
possible. IN all cases where there is
no odd representative, after the State
has been divides aas nearly y3as possible
into q 4 az IA 49,
three or five members, y separate dis.
trict Is TO be set apart for this repre-.
sentative, who is elected rs ut present.
The effect Of this bill will be to
treas up the solid South and secure
to the colored people repl esentalive
i'll Congress. 1t is argued that if it
were passed it would remove the OBJ
jecLions raised bv Senator Blaine to
tho present unequal representation
of the colored people of the South.
1t is not expected that the bill will
pass the present session of Congress,
but it will be introduced to attract
public attention and excite public
discuss on on the subject, preparatory
TO it's rcintroduction at the next Con-
grcss.

chopping a larger cavity was found
and within was mass Of silver.
Both seemed wild with delight, atld

amounted to $4,000. The pedler es-
pressed his unwillingness to carry
around so much silver in his pocket,
and inquired where he would be like

The farmer having considerable
money in his house, immediately
transferred to the peddler $500 i'm

Il knew John as a ragged little boy

always looking for fight. When we
were married he could not read nor write,
and to tell the truth. l was only a trlfie
better off IN the matter of educational ad
vantages. l told him he must learn 70
read, and he said I should teach him.
Well, we established lesson hours. Every
| night before going to bed he devoted him
self to his spelling book, and In the morn
lng one hour to writing In copy book.
The rule of study was infexible. We
made it SO. The morning after he fought
John Q. Heenan, when he was all sore
and bandaged, and blind of one eye as
well. l propped him up with pillows and
made him write.
How long, Mrs. Morrissey, did you
keep him pupil2"
Till his fatal illness. Every night he
studied something. and | studied during
the day that | might he able to help him.
Of course when | say l studied, l don't
mean in the ordinary school children way.
After we mastered the English branches
we took up history, and when we we're
pretty well posted in that we made the
living topics of the day a matter of inves-
tigation the European news the speeches
of the great men. [ read them In the day
time aud John would go through them at
night.
Then we took up such books as De
Quincy, the writings of Carlyle. and, though
John Morrissey was a gambler, and by his
profession made many enemies who
frowned upon him, he was possessed of
knowledge On many subjects independent
of city politics and horse-raeing. which
would put to blush his sternest critics had
they been in competition with him."
Did MIR, Morrissey follow this line of
study because of a natural bent of mind"
II don't think So He would say: Now
this is no good to me, Susie but pressed
him on aud he would soon get interested,
Then he had such an indomisable perser-
verance. When he found thing he could
not readily understand be would master
it out of very spite. [ remember once of
his throwing down his arithmetic shortly
after we were married, and exclaiming
peatishly: don't care about these frac-
tons; they're only part of thing anyway
What's the use of ali this study, SUSSEX
John l said, If you don't beat these

that's your layout for me is it2' 1t is, In

up his book again and said: All right, my
dear. we'll go to congress- And he did,"
