10 TIE Edit0, of The National ReDhJlicqn:
SIR: There are five good reasons why no
friend Of equal justice should vote for Han.
cock:
/. We find on the 9th day Of April, 1865,
that great day Of jubilee when Lee was COM
PEELED 10 surrender 10 General Grant, Han
cocl, was with Garfield and thousands of
others Of the loyal aud royal family of The
boys In blue" sending the glad tidingsal over
the norther states saying after we had trav.
ocd for so long through mud fire and blood
that we had saved the life Of this government
and the old flag would once more wave her
folds over tho capitol of the nation untouched
by rebels and traitors. But to-day we find
Hancock sacrificing his royal robo and coming
down low enough 10 take the democratic party
Oh his shoulders, and indOrsing all their dark
and cruel deeds for tho sake Of being presi.
dent.
H. No colored man should vote for Han.
cock. Our race once has been bold in bondage
for 80 years in this country, and through the
great fundamental principles and doctrines of
the republican party, aitor long trial it un-
done aud broke loose the shackles of chatel
slavery from a once degraded people and
gave them liberty
III. There are thousands of white men, as
well as black, all over tho country, that have
everything 10 lose aud nothing 10 gain by
ku.klux and white-eague murderers red
shirt and riGe-club bulldozors taking charge
of this government,
~, Because tho Same class Of men Is part of
the same party Of which Hancock is tho head.
In tho fifteen years history since the war,
in time of peace, we find loyal mon, white
and black, sleeping in death to-day in tho
Solid gouth"--enough to stain every state and
every district with their innocent blOOd--for
voting and speaking as they pleased.
V. The doctrines aud principles Of tho dem
ocratic party to-day to large eXtent hold my
people political slaves, aud if they once get
the power thoy will hold them for years and
years to come. Sir, as a Colored voter OF
North Carolina, if bulldozors stay away from
tho polls rs honest men this fall, the solid
south" will he broken. Yours, s, PooHER,
WAsulNGroN, d. O., July 10, 1880.

THE POoR EXCURSION.

Water.

Over 500 women and children participated
In the excursion givon under the auspices OF
the Abner excursion fund committee yester-
day. The party was largely composed of
mothers with small children, many still in
arms, and all seemed to enjoy themselves to
tho utmost Bread and milk coffee and sand
wiohos wStermelons and peaches, with lemon
AIDE, composed the bill Of fare, and tho gentle
men who superintendent the affair had all they
desired to do in keeping the excursionists
supplied. Many women had their whole
families Ave and six children in cach) with
them, aud it was truly interesting and
enjoyable to witness how they appio.
cisted tho innovation upon their usual
routine Of everyday lifo in tho city.
All were supplied with AN abundance of
tho nccessarcs of life and expressed them
selves as highly gratifcd with the experience.
To say that the excursion was success
would he but using mild expression. Mr..
Burhhardt represented the committee OF mr.
rangcments on the trip, and Mr.. McGinn, who
could not accompany them, was Mt the wharf
ut the time of departure aud return.
Mr.. Abner deserves great credit for the man
Der in which tho two excursions have been
conducted and for the good accomplished. Mr..
O'lIare of the police and Mr.. Ernstan Of tho
health department rendered good service on
both trips.

Arrested In This City.
A colored man named Henry Lee, alias
Jesse Dangorfeld arrested at the instance Of
a colored woman named Ella johnson on sus-
pcion of numbering Henry Williams, col0red,
at Bowling Groom, Caroline county, Va, Is
coofined at police headquarters SO far all
the III formation In the possession Of the police
is that derived from the woman, Johnson, who
seems to have acted the part of detective with
great success. The facts Of the case, so far as
can be learned, arc MS follows. On the 18th
inst Henry Williams the uncle Of Ella john
son, went TO tho house of man named
Jim Wright, in Bowling Green. Lee, who
had grudge against Wright, also went to The
house with one Walker Toliivor, aud calling
Wright ont assaulted him, and was beating
him when Williams interfered. Leo there
upon turned upon Williams and plunged long
knife into his left side, killing him almost in.
stantly. Lee and Tolliver fed, but the lat
ter was soon captured. Lee. after skulkiug
about the noighborhocd for several days and
meeting with several adventures-in one of
which ho was shot through the handmade
his way TO Stewards landing. where he sig
nailed the steamer john w. Thompson aud
came 10 this city. Ella Johnson, who lives
at Hillsdale went from here 10 Bowling Green
on q visit on the 17th instant, and when she
arrived there was shocked TO learn OF tho
murder of her uncle. She returned to this
city last Wednesday, aud it SO happened
camo on tho same boat with Leo. Sho hap
poned to fall in with Lee, and though she did
not know him, had her suspicious, especially
rs he answered well the descriptions Of the
fugitive. She engaged him in converse
ton and drew from him tho fact
that no had bad terrible fight with man Mt
Bowling Green and In making his escape was
shot through tho hand. The woman kept
her own counsel, aud when they arrived hero
showed Ice where friend OF his in Union
town named Beverly, whom no wanted TO SOC,
| resided, aud then informed tho police. Leo
was arrested ut Beycrly's house by Sergeant
McCAthran, and is now held at police head
| quarters. The fact that he has q gunshot
wound in the right haud corrobofates tho
woman's story. Although lie at first denied
| the story altogether, he finally admitted that
he had struck a man at Bowling Green and
was fugitive on that account Lieutenant
Eckloff has sent a letter to the sheriff of Caro-
line county acquainting him with the fact of
Lees capture, aud Lee will be held subject to
the shcriii's order.

Mr.. ]. Enthoffer, an cmploye of the United
States coast survey residing at 90 | street
northwest, has contributed curiosity to the
Smithsonian institution, which, if it adds
nothing 10 scientific knowledge. will be re-
gardod with much interest by all persons in
terested in the habits, adventures aud misad-
ventures of rats. Mrs. Enthofirr had been
annoyed for some time by persistent rat.
She occasionally caught glimpse of his rat
ship, aud was surprised to see that he woro
what appeared to be a yellow collar. This
fact gave ris, TO much speculation in the fam.
lily as to how the rat came into possession of
the collar. The mystery was solved few
days ago, when the rat wearing tho collar was
caught in trap Unfortunately the rat was
killed by dog, but upon examining the bod y
il was found that the collar was ring of bone,
fitting tightly about the animals neck. The
theory is that the rat when 1t was small had
found bone, aud gnawing out the centre,
pushed his head through and was unable to
eXtriclte himself As he grew larger the ring
of bone ughtoued about his neck, aud he wore
1t until death as II badge of his enterprise in
the search for food The rat aud collar have
been presented To the Smithsonian institution

New Southwestern and Mexican
Railways.

Col. J. w. Forney in Progress.1
While the rapid progress now being made
in railway construction in various portions
of the Republic has rendered great service
by opening up new regions for settlement,
and clearing away obstacles that have hith-
erto retarded the development of rich latent
resources, the gigantic movements progress
ing in the Southwest are specially noticeable,
on account of the tremendous influence they
will probably exert upon the destinies of all
our Southwestern States and Territories, and
upon Mexico. The tireless energies of the
American people are now achieving one of
the greatest of conquests, not by Selling new
regions or merely changing political control
over vast domain, but by vitalizing rich
districts of enormous extent and creating
fruitful new fields of commerce. The most
important of these operations consist of the
energetic steps now being taken by the Texas
and Pacific Railway to extend its lines west
ward to Ell Paso and eastward to New Or
leans; the construction of other lines in Tex
as which either have Ell Paso or places on
the eastern border of Mexico as their object
i've points; the rapid extension in South
western direction of the lines of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe; the additions to the
mileage of the Denver and Rio Grande and
the grant of concessions by Mexico to COM
panies which propose to construct lines
leading from her capital to Ell Paso, to the
Pacific coast, and in various other directions.
All these movements have a very strong
tendency to vitalize the schemes for estab-
fishing remunerative overland commercial
connections with Mexico, as well as to de-
velop an important portion ofour own coun-
try which has never hitherto enjoyed the
numerous advantages resulting from rella-
bic system of internal transportation.

Matrimony and Onions.

DIR. Louis Bosse, of ST. Louis, was

suing for divorce. Her chief cause
of complaint is given in her testimony
as follows: eve had roast duck for din
ner, with onion stuffings. When he
saw the onions ne just got like wild
man, and threw down his knife and fork
and cursed me, and called me names,
and asked me what kind of eating that
was He wouldn't sit down to the ta-
BILE then, but went and sat down in the
kitchen. / wasn't eating then, and he
asked me why didn't eat. | said to
him, IF you will not eat l will not eat
either He then said, If you don't
sit down this very minute and eat l will
show you who is boss in this house, you
or L. He forced me to go to the table
and sit down, and took some victuals
on my plate just to please him, but l
couldn't eat, He then went and got a
stick and stood behind my chair and
said to me Here, do you see this
stick? That is for you, and if you will
not eat now will break this stick on
your back. will break every bone in
your body. Fill up your plate and eat.
l then filed my plate for good, and he
kept standing behind me until l had the
whole plate emptied."
