WASHINGTON, August 19.-Mrs. Chi
solm will start tomorrow for Mississippi
to attend the trial of the assassins of her
corted from Harrisburg, Pa, by her sur
viving son and General Stewart L. Wood
ford of New York.
In General Woodford's letter to Mrs
Chisolm, offering his services, he sale; ;
II am glad that you have the nerve and
fidelity to highest duty to do this. If we
claim protection by law, we ought to ac-
cept all obligations that such claim inn
poses
In recent letter to Mrs Chisolm on
the subject Of the trial, Assistant District
Attorney Fl. R. Ware, who is native of
that State said: ''Do what you can to
get other counsel: but there shall be one
man who does not falter to do the duty
of man in this shameless affair. As to
your fears that my life may pay the for
felt of my action in thisprosecution, think
nothing of this. Life to me in the past
has too many dangerous ordeals to quail
now before the hate and threats Of this
band Of bad men. A Republican who
proposes to be a man in the South cannot
afford to fear any thing. He must have
both moral and physical courage, fixed
and unwavering, or he will soon be brow
beaten into a craven.
The report that Congressman Money
and other prominent Democrats have sub
scribed money to pay the expenses of de-
Tending the Chisolm assassins has been
denied. When the circumstances which
led to the massacre are remembered, 1t
seems no more than just that the report
ed contributions should be made. Sena-
tor Lamar, in speech made at Scooba,
county, in the campaign of 1876, said, as
reported to Mr.. Chisolm by a friend who
heard the speech: "This man Chisolm [
do not personally know, but am told he
is one of the most suave of gentlemen,
winning and gentle in his manners kind
and charitable, one who never turns his
back on sorrow, and from whom the
widow and the orphan never go away
with empty hands. So much the more
need to be rid of him. So much the more
harm can he do Such language as
this led to the Cbisolm massacre 1t
proved bloodier than was expected, and
it is said that Senator Lamar, whose
speech was praised in the Democratic pa
pers Of that vicinity, now denies that he
ever made the speech OF ever heard OF
Chisolm until he was dead. And yet Mr..
Chisolm was candidate for Congress
against Mr.. Money in the district where
Senator Lamar was making stumpspeeches
es During the same campaign,
Thomas S. Gathright, a prominent poll
tician Of Mississippi, said i'll one of the
his speeches: '1f you ever expect tc
have peace and harmony in your county
you must get rid of him; that you know
as well as I bat you must get rid Of him. .

GENERAL GRANT ON A THIRD
TERM

A recent letter of the New York Her
aid correspondent gives an interesting
conversation between General Grant and
the Viceroy of Tientsin, in which, in
answer to the remark of the Viceroy that
he hoped General Grant would be re-
elected to the Presidency for a third term
the latter said:
Your Excellency is very kind, but there
could be no wish more distasteful to me
thanwhat youeXpress. haveheld the office
of President as long as it has ever been
held by any man. There are others
who have risen to great distinction at
home and who have earned the honor
who are wolvhy, and to them it belongs
not to me | hare no claim to the office
1t is a place distasteful to me, place of
hardships and responsibilities. When I
was younger man those hardships were
severe and never agreeable. They would
be worse now.
The Viceroy-But you are young
man and your experience would be of
value.
General Grant-No man who knows
what the Presidency imposes would care
w SSC t IlISil't III ll1C OlllCc. L nave Httu
my share of it-have had all the honors
that can be or should be given to any
citizen, and there are many able and
distinguished men who have earned the
office. To one of them it should be
given.
The Viceroy smiling, said that the Cen
showed himself to be what he always
heard-a modest man-and he still hop
ed, for the good relations between China
and America alone, that he would be
again President. The Viceroy said ne
had read in some Chinese papers trans
lations from the American papers about
the great reception that was awaiting the
General in California, and supposed he
would time his arrival 50 as to meet it.
General Grant, would much rather
time my arrival so as to avoid it. But
most Of these paragraphs are exaggera-
tons and others are written in an un-
friendly spirit. 1t is possible some per
! sonal friends may come to meet me from
the East-a half dozen perhaps-who
will take the occasion to run over to
/ California. | have a good many friends
on the Pacific coast whom | will be glad
to see. But my time of return is un-
known and indefinite, and the stories
that have crept into Chinese papers
about monster excursions are exaggera-
tiOns.

How DEEPLY DOES THE EARTH QUAKE?

How DEEPLY DOES THE EARTH QUAKE?
The recent earthquake at Virginia
City was not noticed at all in the mining
depths but only by people on the surface.
Their famous earthquake of some time
ago, which shock down chimneys and
Prevails, cracked brick building and did
other damage, was merely noticed by
some Of the miners working in the upper
levels, but it did no damage, not even
shaking down loose stones an4 earth.
The station men in the various shafts
felt it the strongest, and the deepest
point point where it was noticed was by
the station-tender at the 900-foot level
Of the Imperial Empire shaft-9O0 feet
below the surface He said it felt like a
sudden faint throb Or pulsation of the
air, as though blast had been left off
at distance above, below, Or in some in
definite direction. At some of the mines
the shock was not noticed at all, even by
station-men. Commenting on this pc
culiar fact at the time, The Gold Hill
News remarked that the earthquake
seems to be an electrical disturbance,
proceeding from the atmosphere and not
from the depths Of the earth.-Sacro-

to-day prints the following card:
"The interview said to have been had
with me, as given by your New York

view ever occurred, and the statements
attributed to me were never made 1t is
true, however, that there is to be a con-

the 18th and 14th of September next, for
the purpose Of consulting as to the pro-
priety of taking political action. Thou
sands of Liberals believe that the time
has arrived to inaugurate a movement
for selfprotection, and it may be that a
platform embodying our practical princi-
pies will be adopted at Cincinnati upon
which all people can stand who believe
that there should be perfect divorce be-
tween church and State; that all private
property should be equally taxed, and
that no citizen should be deprived Of any

The failure Of James McHenry, the
welLknown financial agent in J London,
with liabilities variously stated at from
$500, 900 to nearly $l,00O,000 revived the
memories of his noticeable encounters with
the Fisk-Gould Erie Railway regime some
years ago. This failure is said to be con-
nected with the Atlantic and Great West
ern road, out Of the building Of which
Mr. McHenry realized fortune. Nc
Henry failed badly once in early life, but
got up again and honorably paid off all
his debts to British capitalists long after
they had been compromised. He is now
60 years old. He is said to have direct
ed more foreign capital to this country
than any other one man.

THE FIRST PROTESTANT CHURCH.

The FIRST PROTESTANT CHURcH.-A
peculiar anniversary was celebrated in
Salem, Mass, on Saturday last-the two
hundred and fiftieth Of the organization
Of the first Protestant church formed in
America. Salem was planted in Septem-
Der, 1923. Shelton and Higginson, who
arrived in June following, was completed
Aug. Is, n. S. The simple platform
upon which the church was found was
the following: eve covenant with the
Lord, and one with another, and do bind
ourselves, in the presence Of God, to walk
together in all His ways, according as He
is pleased to reveal Himself to us in His
blessed Word" This lasted the Church
for six years; but when at the end of
that time the covenant was renewed, nine
new clauses were added, none Of them re-
ferring to the doctrine, not each having
reference to the conduct of church-mem-
bers The church at Plymouth was old
er than that at Salem, but it was organ
lied in Holland.-N. Y Tribune.
