whites are aroused, and come from all
quarters. The negroes also are rein
forced and organized for self-protec-
ton. The fight comes off, and the
negroes are once more the conquerers.
The Governor calls out the militia,
and they are beaten. He now makes
a requisition upon the President of
the United States for Federal force
to quell an insurrection which has
grown beyond his power to control.
The Federal army CAN NOW do some
thing. They go, and with them wise
men to search this thing to the bot
tom" A truce is called and the in
quiry begins. Afidavits are called
for, and the chivalry send in mule
trains loaded with them, proving that
each particular ''nigger IN that thar
camp" has murdered from one to five
white men, and ravished from two to
ten white women, while they have
cooked and ate a score OF white chls-
dren every day.
This of course will pass for a high
ly exaggerated suppositious case; but
statements made to me as facts
by rebel prisoners during the
war, especially at Fort Donelson. full
ly Justify their capacity to out lie by
far all that we have supposed.
The negroes would tell their story,
and of course would admit that they
returned the fire of the mule-train
chivalry and killed some of their men
There are about ninety-nine chanc-
es to one that the original rascals in
this whole affair would go scott free
while a score or more of negroes, Sc
lected by the most respectable white
men in Clingman' district, would be
tried by court-martial and shot by
Federal authority; while all hope OF
liberty would be abandoned by the
balance forever.
James Buchanan did not think Sc
cession was right, but he could ''set
no constitutional power to prevent it.
The present Administration evidently
do not believe it is right in time o.
peace and great National prosperity
for rebels to kill or disfranchise color
ed American citizens as a pastime
though they can see no way Of put
ting a stop to it, because. you see. i
would be interfering with the right:
Of sovereign State. What is the diff
ference?
The coadjutors of these negro mur
derers and robbers are trying a bolC
game i'll the North; and it is not sur
prising. Men who attempt to justify
the minority in stealing the votes O.
the majority in the States of Missis
sippi, Alabama and South Carolina
are the ones to try it in the State o.
Maine We sincerely hope their move
will become general this year; tha
they will attempt the game in Ohio
and States of the East, West anC
Northwest. 1t will require just such
bold attempts to test the materials o1
which Republicans are made. E. ].

within the Republican party, but this |
is unavoidable. No man with spark
of manliness in his composition can
fail, in long public life, to act di-
versely to the interests of some indi-
viduals, and thus create animosities.
1t is asserted that Secretary Sher-
man is using all the means Of which
he can avail himself through his
official position, to advance his Presi-
Dental aspirations. This charge was
specifically made by correspondent
of the New York Times, whose letter
we printed yesterday. Just how far
Mr. Shel man has gone i'll that direc-
ton. we do not know. but if we have
no better authority for the statement
than the word Of Washington cor
respondent, it must be received with
many grains of allowance We do
not think that any improper means
will be used by the Secretary. He has

-lld If thay can do him any service.
he will be thankful Of course for it;
but that he will use these friends i'm
prope ly is not credible. He dare not
if he would, and he would not if he
could He is too wise a politician to
prejudice his case before the people in
that way.
But with all our personal feelings
favorable to Mr.. Sherman, we cannot
close our eyes to the fact that he has
not so far developed the strength nee
essary to cope successfully with his
most formidable opponent-Blaine.
In Ohio, where Mr. Sherman should
have an almost unanimous support,
there are signs of opposition, and un-
less there IS change in sentiment
before the convention is held this
State will not send an undivided Sher-
man delegation to Chicago The op-
ponets Of Mr.. Sherman do not expect
to carry any great number of dele
gates, but they know the value of the
detection of even one delegate. Gov
ernor Chase, who was prominent Re
publican candidate for the Presidency,
was never able to secure a solid dele
CATION from Ohio, and the result is
known. This is the danger that is
ahead for Mr. Sherman, and which
his friends must look after. Toe
much confidence is not well.

Singular Case of Lightning Stroke.

A paper was read at late meeting
of the Clinical Society. London, by
DR.. G. Wilks, of Ashford, on a re-
markable case of lightning stroke,
which occurred on June 8, 1878. A
farm laborer was struck by lightning
while standing under a willow tree.
close to the window of shed in which
his three fellow workmen had Just
taken shelter from violent storm of
rain. His companions found the tree
partly denuded of it's bark, and the pa
TENTS boots standing at its foot. The
patient himself was lying on his back
two yards off, and though he was fully
clothed previously, he was now naked,
with absolutely nothing on except
part of the left arm Of his flannel vest.
He was conscious, but much burnt,
and his leg was badly broken. The
field around was strewn with frag-
ments of the clothing; the clothes
were split Or torn from top to bottom,
the edges of the fragments being often
torn into shreds or fringes: they only
showed evidences of fire where they
came in contact with metal, such as
his watch and the buckle of his waist
belt. There was no laces in the boots.
The left boot was torn and twisted
into fantastic shapes, but the sole was
uninjured, and there were no signs of
fire upon it; the right boot had the
leather much torn and the sole rent
and burnt. The watch had a hole
burnt through the case, and the chain
was almost entirely destroyed. The
stockings were split down the inner
side; the hat was uninjured. The
patient stated that he was struck vio-
lently on the chest and shoulders, be-
came enveloped in binding light,
and was hurled into the air, coming
down on his back, "all Of a crash, )"
and never losing consciousness. The
hair of his face was burnt, and the
body was covered with burns Down
each thigh and leg was broad Grim
son indurated band of burning, pass
ing along the inner side Of the knee,
and ending below the left inner ankle
and the right heel; a lacerated
wound, with a comminuted fracture of
the os calcis. The bones Of the right
leg were fractured, and the tibia pro-
truded through the skin in the course
of the burn. He was discharged
healed twenty weeks after the occur
renee DR.. Wilks remarked on the
almost complete exemption of the
nervous system and on the probability
that the clothes being wet acted as
good conductors, and so diverted the
electric current from the great nerv-
Gus trunks. thus saving the mans life.

From careful observation Of the
current OF popular opinion in various
parts OF the country upon the Preti-
Dental question, and the evidence that
comes daily before us, we are led to
the conclusion that Blaine has the
inside track for the Presidency, Just us
he had four years ago. He may fail
to get the nomination, as he did then /:
but that he will be the strongest can
didate in the convention there seems
to be no doubt We believe that be-
fore the assembling of the National
Convention, General Grant will be
withdrawn from the list of candidates.
Neither he nor his friends will per-
NIT his name to be presented if there
IS to be close contest for the nomina-
ton. In fact they cannot afford to
run the risk that the present outlook
indicates.
The other two candidates who stand
most prominently before the people
are Secretary Sherman and Senator
Blaine. For numerous reasons we
much prefer that Secretary Sherman
should be the candidate, and hope that
he may be. His ability as statesman,
his successful management Of the fl
nancial interests of the Nation, and
his long service in the Republican
party, peculiarly fit him for the higher
honors of the Presidency. In every
position with which he has been trust
ed he has fully shown his capacity as
a statesman; and while he has been
the target Of the most unparalleled
abuse, no stain has ever been attached
to either his official or private life.
He has enemies both without and

MnYement of the Sun and Stars.

Mr.. Maxwell Hall communicated
during last session to the Royal astro-
nomical society further instalment
of his endeavor to determine whether
there is a general movement of the
sun and the stars, visible to Us, around
central point. Some years ago,
Madler, a German astronomer, from a
series of calculations, placed the re-
mote invisible center in the Pleiades;
but Mr. Hall, having more elements
at command. finds reason to believe
that it is near the double star i Of
the constellation Pisces. Near is of
course a comparative term, for the
central point is too far distant to be
seen by human eyes; but it is some
thing to have indicated even provis-
ionally its latitude and longitude.
The time of revolution is estimated at
twenty million years, and the total at
tractive mass Of the stars engaged in
the movement as seventy-eight mil
lion times that of the sun, while the
distance of the mysterious center is
thirty-one million times the distance
of the sun from the earth.
