A NEW COLONIzING SCHEME

In 1871 a company was formed in
Boston with the name of ''The Board
of Aid to Land-O Ownership" 1t pur-
chased large tract of land in the Cum
berland Valley, Tennessee, containing
some 400, 900 acres Its intention was
to begin grand scheme of colonization
but the company soon came to grief
financially and its land passed into the
hands of Englishmen. These latter
were quick to see the good points OF
the scheme, and a strong stock compa-
ny was formed, with a capital of $780,
900 to carry it out. Last week Mr..
Thomas Hughes, with a number OF
those interested in the scheme, arrived
in New York
This change of proprietorship has
been accompanied by change of plan.
The Boston plan was intended to ben
eft poor people, to relieve the tenement
house class of our large cities, by put
ting them in the way of buying a small
farm and gaining livelihood by agri-
culture. The English plan is for the
benefit of the middle and upper classes.
1t is intended that the new colonists
shall consist of the sons of well-to-do
tradesmen, of men in the professions,
and even younger sons of the nobility
and gentry, who find career at home
difficult on account of the great compe-
tition that prevails there. Some capi-
tai will be expected to be furnished by
each colonist. There will be churches,
school and other social advantages from
the start. Railroads are to be built to
the best markets, and there are abund-
ant mineral resources as well as rich
arabic land in the company's posses
sions
While this enterprise is not, strictly
speaking, benevolent one, it will be
watched with great interest. The ad-
dition to our population of large body
of cultivated, orderly and thrifty peo-
pie, constituting the best possible ma
terial for citizenship, will be great
gain. Such a colony would be a nu-
cleus of much larger Southern immi-
grafton than has ever yet been known.
What the South needs first of all is an
addition of fresh blood and ample capi-
tai These are not likely to come from
the North, in the present state of feel
ing between the two sections. And it
is probable that English immigrants
will be received with less prejudice,
and accorded full political rights more
freely, than if they came from the
Northern States. 1t is not impossible
that the true solution of the Southern
question may be found in this direction.
There are 69,375 registered votes in
Allegheny county.

GALLOWS SPEECHES.

If we are to accept the words of those
who, dying on the scaffold are suppos-
ed to be in full possession of their SEN
ses till the last, and who at such Sc
rious moment are expected to be more
truthful than. at any other time of their
lives, the angels keep very bad compa-
ny indeed beyond the confines of this
wicked world and are not at all partic-
ular in whose society they are found.
Murderers who have denied the laws
of God and man and outraged every
better human instinct universally an
nounce to the awe struck crowd gath
cred about the gallows that though
they are supposed to be going down to
an unhallowed grave they are in reali-
ty about to soar upward on outstretch-
ed wings to constitute the latest addi-
tion to the angels and to speedily join
the heavenly choir. Average men of
honest and upright lives expect to find
it exceedingly difficult, as rule, to find
their ways to this state of restful bliss,
but to the mind of the criminal the ex-
change of halter for a crown is evil
dently to be counted on as certainty,
and of such as they, according to their
ideas, is the kingdom of heaven. What
method of religious instruction is fol-
lowed that leads the mind of the Grim
inal to such lengths it is well to inquire.
ANY teachings in the cell of the con-
demned that will soften the hardened
heart to repentance and moisten the
dull ewes with tears of sorrow are to
be commended, that the death of the
man may be edifying but the practice
of working him up to such a state ol
religious excitement as to cause him to
announce the brilliant programme ar.
ranged for his reception beyond the
grave is not alone a mistaken one, but
is a mockery of religion. Robertson's
death on the gallows lately in Texas is
a case in point 1t was the execution
of fellow who has committed at least
nine murders, who fought on both sides
during the war, evidently for the pleas
ure of bloodshed-he endeavored to
stand on his war record, by the way
in his speech-who has helped more
than has any other living American,
probably, to Tighten the labors of the
census enumerators, and who for years
has so conducted his life as to eminent.
ly fit himself for place even hotter
than his late Jail quarters during the
August days. But this one, like his
fellows, announces where he may be
found in future by inquiring friends
"Angels are waiting for him." If bis
word it to be taken, if his religious ad
visers have not taught him wrongly
heaven is his. He is so good as tc
designate whom he expects to meet
there, and expressly stated that gentle
men from Franklin township, agains
which he has a grudge, would not be O
the pleasant company. The citizens o
Franklin may feel somewhat depressed
at this, but we think they had better
take the chances after all, despite this
advance news. But the dying speeche:
of Robertson will have done some good
if they will be accepted as warning
to those reverend gentlemen in charge
of the condemned that such teaching:
as result in these scenes outrage justice
and are scandal to religion.
