The late constitutional convention OF
Georgia adopted some very severe measures
against tax delinquents. Under the old con-
stitution, all persons who did not pay their
poll tax were refused the right to vote; tn
new constitution extended this disqualified
tion and DISTINGUISHED all citizens who had
not paid all their back taxes in full. Last
M onday an election for county officers in
Georgia showed what effect this provision
had upon the voting strength Of the State. 1t
was found that hardly fifty per cent Of the
population had paid taxes, and that conse-
quently half the voters OF the State were
completely disfranchised.
A large majority, in fact very
nearly all Of these men 30 DISTINGUISHED,
were white men. The negroes generally owned
no property and had no taxes to pay save
81 poll tax, and this they could easily pay or
find candidates to pay for them. With the
small white farmers and land-holders it was
different: many Of them found themselves
unable to pay their taxes promptly and were
denied the right to vote In consequence. The
first test Of this section Of the new constitu-
ton had made 1t very unpopular In Georgia,
and there Is an earnest demand FORTS repeal or
modification.

1t IL universally admitted that Beeoher is q
0ne comedian, but he has seldom been 30
humorous and funny as at the sale Of the
pews In Plymouth Church the other day. He
laughed and joked. made funny speeches
and played the clown generally. Among
other matters, he called the attention of his
audience to the fact that Plymouth Church
was one Of the best paying pieces Of property
In Brooklyn. "Since have been with you"
he says, "the sale Of the rental Of the pews Of
our church has brought 81 ,0oo.O 600; or, to be
exact $685. 23." There are few persons In
Brooklyn, perhaps, who are aware that the
pastor of Plymouth Church has cost that city
: million more than any public building.
Brooklyn, however, will scarcely grudge
Beecher this million. and probably does not
think 1t an excessive sum to pay for him.

The negro vote Of the South has ceased ia
be factor In presidential elections. and yet
tho would-be Republican candidates for the
presidency continue to worry over the negro.
Grants friends express for him great solicit
tude for the welfare OF the colored race: and
Blaine sends Teller down here to see that
sheir rights are protected. etc. This would
seem strange waste OF fervor and sentiment
were 1t not for the fact that the negro Repub-
Hcan, while they will not cast single vote In
the electoral college in $780, will have 145 votes
In the Republican dominating convention Just
preceding that important event. They hold
lfhe balance Of power in that convention:
ence the solicitude OF Grant and Blaine for
aem. Although at late hour oonkling
mas finally started out to win over the negroes
70 his support, the colored men Of New
York have declared that Conkling Is the com.
ing man, and will celebrate his reelection to
the Senate with battery Of artillery.

The massacre Of the Cheyenne Indians al
Fort Robinson, Neb., Is more brutal even
than Sheridan's slaughter Of the Piegans
These Indians were recently located ON q res
rvation In the Indian Territory. They found
this unproductive, barren and destitute OF
game. To prevent themselves starving they
left the reservation and returned to their for
mer haunts. They were recaptured. locked
mp ct Fort Robinson and told that they would
b carried back at once to the Indian Terri
tory reservation. This they seemed very I'M
willing to do, and upon the first opportunity
offered them sought to escape from the troops
and return to their own homes. The troops
fired upon the fugitive Indians, killing men,
women and children, and are now hunting
down those few unfortunate wretches who es-
capped the fire and are now wandering, cold
and starving. ever the snow-oovered plains Of

HON. GUSTAV sOHLEICHER,

Hon. Gustav Schleicher, Of Texas. died Fri
day night, at Washington, where he was serv-
ing his State as member Of Congress, Of
pneumonia. Mr.. Schleicher was one of the
few foreign-born members OF the House OF
Representatives. He was native Of Darn
stadt, Germany, and was educated at the
University Of Giessin, in that country. After
leaving college he became civil engineer
and aided In the construction Of several Eu-
xCp0an railroads He emigrated to Texas In
1S47, settling at San Antonio. In that State.
IN 1858 he was member OF the State House
Of Represen tatives, In 1860 OF the State SEN
ate. In 1874 he was elected to the Forty-fourth
Congress- and reelected In 1876. He at once
took q leading position In Congress. His posi-
Non on the silver question, however, when
he voted against the coinage OF the sill
yer dollar, caused some dissatisfaction
with him In his district, and when
he returned home he met with considerable
opposition. The Democratic nominating con-
vention met. but In consequence OF the two
thirds rule could make no nomination
0ohleicher secured q majority Of the votes on
several ballots, but could never get two
third vote. The result was that there were
two.candidates In the field. Messrs. Schleicher
and Ireland. The tight was an earnest one
but Schleicher was successful and was re-
elected to the next Congress by large
majority.

House He exercised considerable influence
In that body, particularly with Eastern MEM
bers, with whom he sided on questions Of

The death Of Congressman Sohleicher will
probably attract the attention Of tho House to
tho room In which it sits. Last year men,
ber called attention to the fact that the mir Of
the hall Of the House OF Representatives was
Impure; that the room was badly heated and
badly ventilated. The matter was investi-
gated and the charge was shown to be cor
rect. number Of men were put TO work at
once on the room, and 1t was then announced
that 1t was In good sanitary condition and
that members might breathe It's air without
danger. The sudden death OF 80 many Con-
gressmen In the past few weeks In rapid sue
oession, with much the same symptoms
would seem to show that this was mistake
and that the hall needed further improve
ments before being fit place for our legis-
latOrs to meet.

The two factions OF the New York dealers
IN sugar. the refiners and importers, have
been waging bitter war against each other
Tor some weeks past. Tariff meetings are
now of everyday occurrence in New York. the
refiners hoping thereby to convince Congress
OF their great strength and influence. The
last meeting, held In Chickering Hall on
Monday, shows that even sugar may be the
cause Of war. II was feared that the oppo-
site faction, the friends Of the polariscope,
would invade this meeting to break Il u, and

The strange news comes from Indiana that
= majority Of the members Of the Legislature
of that State favor Tilden as the Democratic
candidate for President In 1880. This is a
strange and unexpected attack on Hendricks
IN his own State, and proof that Tilden has
begun again his celebrated stiil-hunt. This
support In State. supposed to be earnestly
IN favor Of soft money, is proof Of I'M
expected strength.
