JAMES G.. BLAINE.

This acknowledged leader Of the
Republican party will appear before
the Chicago Convention next We'd
nesday. as an aspirant for Presiden-
tial honors. It is unnecessary for THE
HERALD to attempt to speak OF his
ability and deYotedness to Republi-
can principles, as the name of James
G. Blaine IS well. and fevOrably
known in every portion, OF this
country, and his many victories over
the Rebel BrigadierS, will not fail TO
rally to his support every lover OF
his country. Let the name OF
James q, Blaine head the ticket, and
success IS assured.

COMPLIMENTARY.

The editor Of THE HERALD returns
thanks to TIE Lawrence Standard for
the following complimentary notice
OF this paper:
t"THE HERALD OF KANSAS, edited
and published by Ii. G. Rutherford.
an intelligent and influential eolored
man OF Topeka, announces for James
g. Blaine for President, and B. Il.
Bruce, ct Mississippi, for Vice Pres
ident. The HERALD believes that the
Republican party owes the Negro
this recognition. The HERAL rs po-
siton IS not unreasonable. TIE lie
publican party owes is prolonged
lease of power entirely TO the Negro
vote Without that vote it would
be in q hopeless minority. And yet
the Negro holds office in the Demo.
cratic States Of the South, while he il
vigorously excluded from it in the
Republican States of.the North"

The Chicago Times, a Democrat
ic paper, in speaking on this subject
says:
schools with the whites. Gales
Surg, Aurora. Rockford, Chicago,
and others OF the most refined COM
munitles of the State distribute coll
ored children through all the ward
schools and high schools. Nobody
seems to notice or object TO this any
more than high born Southern lady
objects to sitting alongside her col
ored dr;verin the family carrvall. to
allow nurses as black as a coal scut-
tie to nurse her llIlv white babe
The children Of the two races recite
in the same classes, compete for the
same prizes, and share alike in all
privileges of the schools. That the
co!ored children are educated, ese-
waited by this means far more rapid
" than would be possible than If
they were hHddled together in rooms
apart from the whites is unquestion-
able. That the white children have
been degraded or harmed in any de-
gree by this state of things, nobody
will assert; or if any do assert it
we challenge the proof. The schools
of the communities named have
steadily improved through the last
twenty years, and there is higher
degree of refinement among the pu-
pills while in school. and after they
pass into society than there was
years ago. There are fewer children
in private schools, in proportion tC
the population, than there were in
1856, and 56, yet the tone OF society
is continually improving: The un
conscious exhibition Of their good
manners does not impoverish O
demean the white children in th'
least, while it does the highly imita
tive colored children unspeakable
good.

BLANCHE X. BRUCE
OF sAHSSESkKPPE.
THE MAN FOR THE sECONI
PLACE ON. THE TICKET.
Let Every ColOred Delegate to the
Convention Do His Duty,

The signs of the times all point to
the unanimous nomination Of SeIa-
tor Blanche X. Bruce, as being the
man who will be chosen for the Sec
ond place on the National Ticket, at
Chicago. next "Wednesday, and it is
now the plain duty of every celored
delegate to the National Convention
to stand by Senator Bruee and see
that his claims are recognized IN the
Convention.
The nomination of Senator Bruce
for the Vice Presidency would be
but a just and fair recognition Of the
rights of the coIored race, and The
HERALD can see no reason why Mr.
Bruce should not receive sufficient
support from the white portion OF
the delegates to insures his unani-
NOUS nomination Mr.. Bruce is
the representative of the colored
race in America tC-day-a race thai
has ever bean found supporting the
Republican party under the most
trying circumstances, and the Sena-
tor certainly deserves some recogni-
ton at the hands of the leaders OF
the Republican party which asssm-
bles at Chicago next Wednesday.
The HERALD would not draw "rhe
color line" but the claims OF Senator
Bruce must be r8cOQrtzed or the Re
publican party Rust n necessarily place
itself on record rs being opposed to
eIevating the Negro to positions
Of ho or or trust in America. The
colored people, as a racO, are unoom
promisingly Republican, and have
been compelled to- endure hardships
never endured by any other race OF
people on the face of the globe, and
it is high time they received some
recognition from the party to whose
principles they are SO devoted
Let the news be heralded through.
ont America next Wednesday, that
BLANCHE X. BRUCE,
Of Mississippi, a colored man, has
been chosen unanimously for the
Vice Presidency Of this country, and
next November will see the largest
majority ever given the Republican
ticket.
Senator Bruce stands to-day as high
in the estimation OF the American
people as any man who is a candi
date for the next highest position in
the gift OF the people of this country
and THE HERALD hopes that the
color 0: Mr.. Bruce's face will be nc
impediment TO his nomination.
Let every colored delegate 60 into
the National Convention with tn,
dc ermination to fight for Mr.. Bruce
nomination. and success will crown
their efforts,

BRUCE, of Mississippi, for the Vice
Presidency, means that. the Repnbli-
cans would be able 10 carry such
States as louisiana, Mississippi and

could possibly be committed by a

DENVER, COL, August 3.-A Tri-
bune's Santa Fe special from Ell Paso
states that Colonel B. H. Grierson had
a fight with Victoria's band of hostile
Indians, about one hundred strong,
who attempted to pass north into
Texas, on the Both ult., between Fort
Quittman and Eagle Springs. He was
encamped on trial with small party,
and, believing the Indians would make
a break through the lines, had sent,
The night before, for reiniorcements to
Fort Quittman and Eagle Springs, At
4 am. on the Both Lieutenant Finley
and thirteen men of the Tenth cavalry
arrived, and he Immediately set to
work fortitying his position. About
8 am. the Indians approached in
force and attacked the camp. They
were repulsed. at II am. Captain
Gielle with two companies arrived
upon which sharp engagement oc-
Cured between the troops and the
Indians which lasted about three
hours. Lieutenant Calladay was
wounded, and one soldier and eight
horses killed. At 2 pm. Captain
Nolan's command arrived at the scene
Of action from Fort Quittman. On
the approach of these troops the In
dians fed rapidly down the Ric
Graude. Colonel Grierson is of the
opinion that the Indians will try to
cross between Van Horn. and the
Eagle mountains, and is disposing Of
his troops to interrupt them. Mexican
troops are following the Indians trail
on the other side of the Rio Grande,
but have not been able to come up
with them since the 23d ult.

The Census orIssO.

Little Rock Gazette.l
We published yesterday the census
returns for this year (lSS0) of twenty
counties in this state. These returns
showed that the population OF these
twenty counties now amounts to 235,-
254. The census Of the same coun
ties in 1870 showed a population of
only l54, ,489 The census of this year,
therefore, shows an increase of popu
lation in these twenty counties in the
last ten years of 80,S65-an average
increase in the twenty counties Of 50
per cent since 1870.
The population of the state in 1870
amounted to 474,47l. If the increase
of 81 per cent holds good throughout
the state, as we are confident it will
more than do. the present census will
give the state a population of over
seven hundred and thirty-six thou
sand.
AS under the census of 1870 the
state now has four representatives in
the lower branch of congress. she
will be entitled under the census of
1880, unless the ratio of representa-
ton Is very considerably increased, to
six.

The Chinese appear to know how
to run their own country to suit them
selves best. Some years ago an Eng
lish company thought there ought to
be railroad between Shanghai aud
Woo Sung. The people didn't want
it, and said so, aud fought against the
introduction Of the iron hqrse. The
railroad track was laid by force, aud
the trains we're run under guard. All
right. The people didn't want the
road and wouldn't patronize it. They
let the cars run, and they walked and
carried on their commerce as of old
between Shanghai and Woo Sung.
Without greater force than they
could command, the company could
not catch the people and tie them on
the cars and collect the fare, so they
quit running trains, abandoned rail
reading in China, and the road went
to rack and ruin. 1t met the general
fate of all other European ideas and
improvements in China, The other
day o vessel brought 1900 tons of
this Chinese railroad to New York
as ballast, Some enterprising Ameri-
can had bought the rails for old iron,
and they may, for all we know to the
contrary, be in some protective tariff
