COZ. ". II. ROBERTS of the late con
Eederacv. has been appointed by Mr..
HAYES to compile the orders and regula-
tions of the army. 1t is Il job that Will
pay well and may last for several years.
At the last Presidential election Roberts
was editor of the New Orleans TJHcS-
"A Democratic paper. and after the Re
turning Board of Louisiana had COM
uIeted its villainy he went to Ohio to see
TIaves. and was an influential party TO
the arrangement by which the count OF
the electoral vote was not to be inter
tered with. and Hayes declared elected
over Tilden. Hayes to remove the troops
from Louisiana and South Carolina.
thus giving the Democrats an oppOrtUni-
ty To- take possession of both State
governments without any resistance OF
bloodshed. The reward due to Roberts
has been long delayed. but Mr.. Hayes
zIon-t forget the men who counted him
into his office. and has at last discharged
his debt 10 Roberts If Tilden was in
the White House instead of Hayes, and
had appointed an ex-rebel Colonel TO the
position Hayes has given Roberts, a
howl of Indignation would have been
uttered 10y the loyal Republican press

IT will be seen by the call issued by
the Chairman of the County Committee.
elsewhere published, that the Committee
is notified to meet at the Court House
on TtesJdg. the 9Th of I,ug,,st. This
call Is a matter of absolute necessity.
owing TO the fact that the late county
convention allowed its official existence
to be brought to a final termination
without nominating a county ticket 1t
is unnecessary for us again to discuss
the failure of the convention to perform
the duty imposed upon it, as the Democ-
racy of the county have read its pro
ceedings and fully understand them. 1t
is the first case of failure to nominate
a ticket that has ever occurred i'm the
history of the Democratic party i'm this
county. and for that reason the meeting
Of the Committee will be of such unusual
Importance that every member ought TO
be induced to attend. 1t is very incon-
venient. we know, for the members to
spend day at the county Sc at on such "a
mission, but occasions viii happen, and
this is one of them. when all considera-
tiOns of personal loss must yield TO the
demands of party necessity. The late
convention died. as we have said, by its
sine d'e adjournment, and neither the
County Committee nor any other power
can breathe into il a renewal of official
life. This being plain and palpable to
every man who viii reflect for moment
upon the matter, there is but one course
for the Committee TO adopt, and that
is to order its chairman TO direct another
delegate election and another county
convention. We cannot believe that
another convention will fail TO perform
its duty in q manner entirely satisfactory

THE GUIIIBLE NEGRO AND How IIE Is

the Kansas City Times relative to the guilt

A short time ago a man representing himself
government agent went through Holmes county,
Mississippi, telling the negroes everywhere that
on the following Sunday a free train would ar
rive at Durant. Miss for the purpose Of trans
porting all who wished to 20 TO Kansas. thus Civ
ing themselves a valid title to the ground For
all information Of course. the poor negroes had to
nav and they gave the man whatever little money
they had. SO shrewd the wretch and
graphic the picture he painted of life in Kansas
that the news spread like wildhrc through the
county aud on all sides the negroes commenced to
gather up their traps preparatory to the long "Trip
before them Such property aS they could not
take with them they disposed Of at any prices they
could get. Cows were sold at - apiece, chickens
at cent apiece and other things in like proper
ton and at a similar sacrifice. ON Sunday about
one thousand negroes assembled at the railroad
station Durant prepared, well as their slim
means aud III Judgment would best allow for their
Journey to Kansas. OF course the free train did
not arrive and the betrayed blacks now
stranded high and dry. their homes. cattle furni-

not only a dollar for dollar settlement
but, together with profits realized
from all active employment of scrip or
assets previously apportioned, their
balance-sheets will show surprising
difference in their favor. Another
