comnained by his reputed nman Fri

the news of his coming was telegraphed
ahead Of his arrival several hours.
The Senator was greeted In welcome
By only two parties "a. A. Fink and
L. r. Mosher). Escorted by the twain
he reached the Metropolitan Hotel !;
and from the time he was shown to
his room until the Coos Bay stage de-
parted in the morning, the Senator

selves his guard of honor. There was

1t should be with pleasure that our
stockraisers will learn that the cele-
brated racer and thoroughbred stallion,
SCamperdown, the property Of Jos. l..
Cough, has been brought to this city,
and hereafter will remain in this
county. The day after his arrival, the
stallion was shown on the streets, and
the general remark was: "What a
fine animal!" !" We would advise our
stockraisers to see Scamperdown at
their earliest convenience, and learn
the value of this horse and his colts.

The INCARCERATION CASE IN VmGINIA.-A
recent dispatch made announcement of de-
cision delivered by Judge Hughes in the
United States District Court sitting at Rich
mond, which affirms the constitutionality of
the Virginia statute forbidding under pen
alties, the intermarriage of white and colored
people. The case arose in connection with a
petition for writ of habeas corpus 10y col
ored man, who alleged that he was illegally
imprisoned in the State Penitentiary for mar
rying white woman by the name of Mary
Hall. The parties had been living together
in illegal concubnage, and when they were
threatened with prosecution they made trip
to the District of Columbia, where mixed
marriages are legal, and were married On
their return to Virginia they were tried, con-
victed and sentenced to five years imprison.
ment at hard labor, under a statute enacted a
year ago. by which it is made penal offence
to leave the State for the purpose of contract
ing such n marriage. The decision of Judge
Hughes affirms that the Virginia statutes are
not at variance with the Constitutional amend
ments for the reason, in the first place that
the amended Constitution prohibits the States
from abridgng the right of citizens to vote on
account of race or color, but does not forbid
the denial of the right to marry on this
ground; in the second place, that the Vir-
ginia legislation is not discrimination against
either race, but Furnishes white and black
alike for intermarriages and finally, that the
fact of equal citizenship does not include u
right to marry, since everywhere there are
prohibited degrees Of kinship within which
marriage is illegal, and any State may decide
for itself who may intermarry within its juris-
dction, the whole subject lying outside the
Federal authority. The case is to be carried
up to the Supreme Court. The Baltimore
American commenting upon the matter OBJ
serves very justly that sit is curious fact
that while miscegenation outside of the mar
riage bond is no new thing in the South, the
sanctifcation of the union that seems so utter
ly Objectionable is very strongly opposed
there"

OUTRAGEOUS SCENES AT AN EXECUTION.
On Friday last a transaction, worthy of any
of the dark periods of past history, took
place in Hillsboro, N. G. Eight thousand
people assembled in that town at the place of
execution of three burglars, and the scene en-
acted was most tragic. The whole proceed
ing was characterized by bungling and botch-
ing, which too often, in this country, has dis
graced the taking of of criminals. The ropes
used in the hanging were too long, and the
immense concourse got its full of horror
while the legs of the doomed men dragged
along the ground, and the officials swayed the
quivering bodies higher up and reknotted the
cords, the culprits finally dying from stran-
gulation. All the time furious thunder
storm was raging, and the whole affair seems
to have been more like q devils carnival than
an orderly, decent conclusion to approved le-
gal acts The preparation for the event be-
fore the swinging OF, was also full of import,
and must have terribly excited such an audi
ence as had gathered. All the criminals, in
the most solemn terms, protested their inno-
cenee and at least one of them made remarks
of an hours duration, claiming that his saliva
ton was sure But the most atrOcious of all
the proceedings was the parting upon the
scafFold, between one of the condemned men
and sister. In presence of all these wit
nesses, in violation of every principle of de-
cency or the fitness of things, this useless
public exhibition was allowed, which cannot
be defended in any terms.

CoNKLING's SPEECH CRITICISED. Perhaps
the most sophstical reasoning in all the re-
cent political debates in Congress was Mr..
COnklings attempt to show that the North
ought to have control of the national govern
ment because, as he represented, certain
northern States pay the bulk of the customs
and internal revenue taxes. The whole argu-
ment is based upon the assumption that the
importer and the distiller and the brewer and
the manufacturer of tobacco pay the taxes,
which is not true. They advance the money
for the taxes, but the taxes themselves are in
fact paid by the consumer, as everybody
knows, and no tables, certainly none quoted
from by Mr.. Conkling show the aggregate
consumption of taxable articles in the several
States. Senator Hill, in his speech the other
day, exposed the speciousness of Mr.. Conk-
lings application of the tax statistics, and
showed that they might be made use of as
against certain western States as well as
against the seeding States But, not deter
red by this exposition of the fallacies of Mr..
Conklings logic, certain New York Journal
presents to the public a similar inconsequent
array of figures. For instance, it states that
Illinois paid more tax in the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1878, than all the seeding States
together. If it had been stated that more
whiskey had been distilled in Illinois during
that year than in all the seeding States, or
than in any other State in the Union, the
statement would have been true, but it is a
Misrepresentation to assert that the tax on
those spirits was paid by the people of Hi
nos. 1t was paid by the consumers of the
spirits, who are distributed through nearly all
the States in the Union. Why, if we are to
assume that the manufacturer is the real tax
payer, then Mr.. Lorillard of New Jersey pays
more internal revenue tax than the whole
State of Massachusetts, and nearly as much
as all New England. The tobacco manufnc-
turers of Richmond and Lynchburg pay twice
as much tax as all New England, and the dis
tillers of Kentucky pay three times the tax
paid by Massachusetts, and more than that
paid by Pennsylvania. If we are to accept
Mr.. Conkling's inductions why draw the line
between the North and the South? Why not
hand over the government to the States which
import the greatest quantity of foreign goods,
and which distil the most whiskey and man
ufacture the most tobaccoy Let us have a
plutocracy, for that is what Mr.. Conkling's
logic leads to, if it leads to anything. - WASH

sereneIy Confident.

The bottom reason for Mr.. Tilden's conf
dence that he will be the next candidate of
his party is his knowledge that the party can
not get along without him. Every day gives
cumulative proof of the transcendent stupid
lty of the so-called leaders in Washington
The original blunder of forcing an extra ses-
sion has never been surpassed except by the
daily blunders made in conducting it. No
party managers who ever made any pretence
OF possessing ordinary political sense were
ever before known to place themselves volun-
tarily where they could neither remain nor
advance nor retreat without disgrace. Every
thing has happened just as everybody expect
ed and predicted when the campaign began,
and yet the Democratic majority are quite as
bewildered and demoralized as if some sud
den and overwhelming attack had been pro-
lected upon them from an ambush. This is
the first occasion in political history when a
party was so terrified that it didn't dare to
call caucus. What the Democratic party
needs most of all just now is a leader, and
MIR. Tilden sits serenely in his tent waiting to
be summoned to the front.

Nine Weeks Of It.


Nine weeks of the special session and still
the appropriation bills are not passed For
the Congressional majority the situation is
even worse than this fact might seem to indi-
cate. Not only is the necessary business de
layed, but the Democrats are unable to de
eide whether it shall be transacted or post
poned, whether the supplies shall be granted
or withheld, and generally what shall be
their attitude, as party, toward the Exeeu-
tive and the country. The tactics they have
thus far pursued have impaired to their
opponents unity and spirit, and have been
otherwise effective only in producing demon
ali2ation among themselves and in exhibiting
the incapacity of the majority to perform the
duties devolving upon it, Judged by their
business results, the nine weeks of the SEES
sion have been wasted. Tested by their pc
litical results, they mark defeat and humiIn
ton for the Democrats, strength and victory
for the Republican party. Such were GER
talnly not the consequences expected by those
whose faotiOus course rendered the session
