Stuart was too much Of a Christian

himself to their version of the psalms

These old Reformed Presbyterian

A SERIOUS CHARGE.

A colored man named Nix, who was
recently appointed Postmaster at Black
vile, South Carolina, while engaged in
his official duties, was fired at and Sc
riously wounded. 1t is charged that
his appointment was resented by Dem
ocrats, who, unable to prevent it,
sought revenge by attempting to assas-
sinate him. Nix is reported as saying
that Immediately after the shot was
fred he called upon the authorities for
assistance, but they being all Demo-
Gratis, refused to render any.
This is too serious charge to be per-
mitted to pass uninvestigated. The
State of South Carolina is under a
Democratic administration, and the par
ty cannot afford to rest under the i'm.
putation that it countenances the as
sassilIation of political opponents, be-
cause they are colored and accept posi-
tion from the Federal Government. 1t
devolves upon the local authorities at
Blackville, all of whom are said to be
Democrats, to make thorough inves-
tigation Of this case and punish to the
spssiiE The facts should be ascertained
and published. 1t will not do to treat
affenses of that character committed in
South Carolina as if the crimes were
committed, in Nevada. Less than a
year since, Postmaster Emmons, of
Loyelock, was fred at while attending
to his official duties. Mo- effort was
nade by the. authorities to ascertain
who fired the SHOT, and as no. political
capital could be. made. out.of the crime.
the circumstance was passed unnoticed
aud was never alluded to in the Asso-
dated Press dispatches. Politics may
have had as much to do with the Love-
lock outrage as with that committed at
Blackville; but great political signif
canoe is attached to every shooting or
cutting affray in the South, while SINH
lar ARRAYS in the North never have any.
Rightfully or wrongfully, Southern
Democrats are accused of never getting
into,a row except for the purpose Of
intimidating or assassinating Republi-
cans, and if the Associated Press DIS
patches are reliable, there has not been
an assault Or nMrder committed south
of Mason Dixon's line since the close
Of the war except for political purposes.
Republicans assert that such outrages
are not only countenanced but en-
couraged by Democrats: let Democrats
disprove the charges by demanding the
arrest and punishment of all who are
guilty of such offenses.

GRANT AND THE VETERANS.

The British Government has issued

it's Consuls in Russia on the condition
of the Russian grain trade, now suffer-
ing severely from American competi-
ton. Stanley, the Consul at Odessa.
explains the cause cS Russian wheat

He says: The greater part arrives from
the interior in uncovered wagons, and
frequently, fopwmt Of wagons, remains
exposed on the railway platforms. I'm
less it can be produced cheaper and
brought to Odessa in better condition,
and the cost of transport and placingi it
on board. ship be reduced, South Rus
sian corn will soon no longer, except in
exceptional seasons, find a market in
England and Western Europe.

will find less hair there then when he

How. a soldier Talks 10 soldiers.

General Grant received an ovation in
Oakland and attended camp fire of
the Federal and Confederate soldiers and
sailors. Tables were placed in the am
phitheater, and covered with tin plates,
tin cups, common inives and forks, and
the guest were supplied with pork and
beans, coffee, hard. tack and tobacco.
When these had been discussed, L. b.
Edwards, Chairman. of the committee
in charge, introduced3Grant to the sur
rounding throng, and as soon as the
prolonged cheers had subsidized Grant
addressed his old comrades as follows:
"Geatlemen Of the I'wo A,naies and

ticularly happy to see the good feeling
and cordiality existing between the
soldiers Of the two armies, aud have an
abiding faith that this good feeling will
always exist. Thus united. we have
nothing to fear from any nation in the

THE. MAINE ELECTION.

The morning after the Maine cleo
ton James G. Blaine, whose boom for
President depended on Republican ma
jority in his State this Fall, telegraphed
10 the Charmen of the Ohio and Iowa
State Central Committees. that ga
splendid victory had been achieved by
the Republicans; that Davis was
elected by the popular vote, and that
both Houses of the Legislature had Re-
publican majorities" His message
conveyed the idea without any ifs, and's
or butts, that the success OF his "plan
had exceeded his most sanguine expec-
nons. 1t was sent on the 9th instant,
nearly three weeks ago, and .yetit has
not been verified, and in fact the latest
reports from Maine indicate that it
neyerwill be. According to these adj
vices Davis, the Republican candidate
for Governor lacks from two to four
thousand votes of the majority necessary
10 elect, and the Senate, which will
finally have to,elect Governor. is so
close that twill take the official count
to determine whether the Republicans
or Democrats and Greenbackers have
amajority of the members. Such a re-
suit in his own State augurs i'll for
Blaine's chances in the Republican Ma
tional Convention and if Ohio goes
Democratic at the election next month,
and thereby drives Sherman from the
list of the Presidential candidates, the
party will be forced to take Grant for
their standard bearer next year, as
Sprague's shotgun policy intimidated
Conkling to such an extent that he will
not be candidate even if New York
goes Republican.
