the mail service, whom they regard as
"de boss of de immigrashun." The
red rag Of their furious animosity
toward Colonel Walker is circu-
lar printed and distributed through
out the South by Mr. Walker, at bis
own expense, in which he sets forth
quite clearly, the advantage
of homes and employment which
Indiana affords. Notwithstanding the
rant and opposition of Democ-
ratio papers and politicians,
the colored people, have set
tied in that locality. Colonel
Walker does not "denigh of it., but
boldly ASSUMES the responsibility of
inviting the outraged colOred people
of the South to cast their lot among

Hon. J. H. Rainey, of South Caro-
lima, ex-Congressman, is evidently
not in favor of a third term, nor
even an ardent admirer of General
Grant. The following extract from
speech recently delivered in Boston
pretty clearly expresses Mr.. Rainey's s
opinion of General Grant:
"a man who, when he went into power,
found Republican Congress, Repub-
lican South, and the better part of the
Northern States Republican, and when he
went out of power there was not single
Republican State in the South, Congress
was Democratic, and the Northern States
divided. He permitted the State of Mis-
sissippi to 60 out of the hands of the Re-
publicans, and he crushed out the hopes
of forty thousand people with one fell
swoop. General Grant, had he done his
duty, would have made it apparent to the
people of the South that he intended to
do his utmost to keep the Republican
party intact in the South under his admin
istration. The Democratic party came
into power, standing in human blood
taking the place of loyal men, and claim
ing TO be dictators of the country"

Every indication now points 20 one

well founded, come from Washington

take up the gauntlet flung down by
the Grant men, and boldly fight the
third term. Blaine is strong In the
Northwest, and his friends, seeing
the disastrous results Of the pacific
policy in Pennsylvania demand an
aggressive campaign. Illinois will

Georgia has law which makes it
II penal offense for any person to in
duce or assist a colored man to leave
the State. A similar bill has been in
troduced in the Mississippi Legisla-
ture. The next move will be to have
Congress pass law authorizing Off
cials of any Southern State to arrest
and take back any colored citizen of
said Southern State found in any
Northern State. United States Mar
shals, of course, would be expected to
enforce the law, with power to COM
pei any Northern citizen to assist
in the enforcoiSsnt of the
law 1t might also be made penal
offense for any Northern man to en-
ploy, harbor, feed or in any way give
aid and comfort to any colored refu-
gees. Well, wouldn't the Fugitive
Slave Law" with few amendments,
answer every purpose? Senator
Voorhees, might start a presidential
boom for himself in the South by in
PRODUCING a resolution for the revival
of the Fugitive Slave Law.

be the next battle-ground, with the
chances decidedly in favor of Blaine
Excepting Pennsylvania, New York
and Ohio, Blaine will probably be
backed by a solid North. Secretary
Sherman will divide the South with
Gen. Grant. The opposition to the
third term, which is every day devel-
oping strength, will undoubtedly
cause the withdrawal of Gen. Grant s
name. The delegations instructed
for Gen. Grant will then decide the
contest. In this event Pennsylvania
would certainly go to Blaine, and a ma
jority of the Southern delegates to
Secretary Sherman--the undoubted
result of which would be the nomina-
ton of Senator Blaine.
In these observations we have not
considered the possibilities of clark
horse and it may appear that we
have calculated without our host. If
Gen. Grant is withdrawn, Senator
Conkling may enter the field. This
would still more eomplicate matters,
as New York would be unit for Mr.
Conkling, and the bulk of the Grant
delegates from the South would go to
him. 1t should also be remembered
that Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, is a
prominent possibility, and it is not at
all improbable that, with his strong
German following, he may decline
to wait for dark horse lightning, and
determine to enter and contest boldly
with the starters, Who are now we'll
under way.

A Desperate Resort.

The South Carolina Democrats be-
coming satisfied that their bulldozing
and tissue ballot tactics will not be so
successful in the future as in the past,
are casting about for some other
scheme by which to pcrpctuate their
power
Among the plans proposed is an
educational qualification for voters.
1t is proposed to pass a registration
law requiring all voters to sign their
names to the registration roles. The
main arguments urged by the Demo
cratic press of the State in favor of
the measure is that it will disfranchise
enough cOlored voters to enable the
Democrats to carry the State. The
colored people of South Carolina
should oppose, and, if need be, resist
any decree Of the bogus Legislature
which disfranchises single voter.
We should not object to an education
al test for all persons who hereafter
become voters by reason of attaining
the age of 21. Such test impartial
ly applied to colored and white alike
would act as valuable stimulus to
the youth of both races. By such
law, allow us to remark, the colored
people would lose precious few votes.
But South Carolina Democrats do not
want any such law as this. They
would be decidedly averse to enacting
any law that would stimulate the COL
ored youth to honorable and success
full competition. What these fellows
want is measure that will disfran-
chise enough colored voters to enable
them to control the election; and it
may be further stated that they are
vastly more concerned about the en-
actment of the scheme into the forms
of law, than they are about the illit-
eracy among the colored people. Give
them such a law as they desire and
old Spencer himself with black face
would be unable to register. Three
fourths of the inhabitants of South
Carolina are colored people and these
tissue ballot fellows may just as we'll
prepare to vacate; for the day is not
far distant when the colored people
will assert their right to control the
affairs of the State. Nor will they
submit to any scheme of disfranchise-
ment. Those people are poorly in
formed who believe that the colored
people will continue to submit tamely
to the domination OF tyrannical
minority. Every year that steps be-
tween us and slavery makesus strong
er; every indication from the South
shows that the colored people are or
ganizing for the purpose of asserting
their rights and making their power
felt.
The Democratic party, in most of the
Southern States, willgo to pieces after
the presidential election and even in
States where they are in the minority
the colored people will be able to
form combinations of mutual benefit
with the better element ofthe whites
but let it not be forgotten that the
colored people of the South are really
stronger now than ever before anc
that every year will add to theil
strength.

LONDON, August 23.-A CORE
spondent at Bucharest gives the fol-

Parsons, the American missionary.
One of the assassins placed the muzzle
Ofhis gun close to DR.. Parsop $ servant
and fired at and killed him instantly.
DR.. Parsons then started up, but
before he could say or do anything, a
bullet pierced his heart. The two
Circassians threw the bodies over a
precipice, ,at the foot Of which they were
found after few days. An Amer
lean residing at Ismidt telegraphed
facts to Gosehen, British ambassador,
who communicated them Immediately
to Heap, the American consulgen-
eral. A squad Of soldiers went to the
camp of the Circassians and threat
ened to shoot the whole tribe unless
the murderers surrendered, where
upon the murderers were delivered to
the authorities. The affair caused
