JOHN b. BRowNLow denies the story
about the "serpentine mark" on his fathers
body, which was invented by General
STEEDMAN. He says there was no moro
mark on his father bearing any more re-
semblanco to serpent than does the hid
eous physiognomy of the cotton-grabbing
SrEEDMAN to the placid countenance of u
teetotaler.r

WHAT will he do about it? Mr.. WASH
BuRNE pertinaciously persists that he is not
q candidate, but is for General GRANT first,
last and all the time, while his friends are,
leaguing with the generals most bitter
enemies, and are carrying war against him
in his own state with system of bull
doing nowhere else known outside the
region of the ku-klux, the white liners and
the rifle clubs of the south. This condition
of things is without parallel in the repub-
lican party, and comesGearer the methods Of
the southern bourbons than anything that
has yet transpired in our political contests.
1t would seem that Mr.. WAsHBURNE has
something TO do to explain the peculiarities
of his present position. Why is he in Maine
now hob-nobbing with Mr.. BLAINEs most
devoted henchmen, when he should be at
home giving direction 10 his friends to cease
their war upon his warm friend and warmer
preference? A failure now to put in an
early appearance in Illinois and interpose
his best efforts TO undo the mischief his
friends have done in his absence will be re-
garded as additional evidence of his du-
plicity, and will add density to the cloud
that is already gath ering around his conduct.
Mr.. WAsHBURNE, in view of his repeated
asseyerations of fidility to General GRANT
and the conduct of his hen chmen, will find
that he has something to do besides the
raising up of his voice afar off to satisfy the
country that he is an honest and faithful
friend

THE Philadelphia Ne,cs forcih

case rs follows:
The BLAINE papers deliberately misrepre-
sent the facts as to the differences in Cook
county, or Chicago, on Monday. 1t is declared
that the GRANT people favor the unit rule
where they have the power and bolt it when
they do not. This is not true. In the states
where the unit rule has been enforced the
customs of the past have been complied with.
In this state and New York and in other
states it has been customary for state conven-
tions to adopt unit rule and instruct their
delegations. This has been done for BLAINE
as well as GRANT. But in Chicago, in select
ing delegates to state conventions, - has been
the custom to allow every district to nanre its
delegates. 1t is this rule that tho SHERMAN
and BLAINE delegates determined to disre-
gard. All the GRANT people asked was that
custom be observed, and this is all they pro.
pose to ask at Springfield. Is it not right

terday in which Senator BRUCE, FREDERICK
DOUGLASS DR.. Brown, of Baltimore, Messrs.

We copy the above from the New York

correct if it extends beyond the presenta-
tion of Il preference. Not that we are op-
posed to a coored man for either president
or vice-presdent, if the national conven-
ton shall in its judgment so determine, for
we yield to none in our devotion TO or in
our advocacy Of the fullest recognition Of
all the rights that inhere in the colored race
Ms American citizens but it occurs to us
that il would be IN anOmoly to base re-
quest even for preferment simply on the
ground Of race color or previous condition,
as the above announcement seems to indi-
cate. The republican party is composed of
Englishmen, Scotchmen, Inshmen, Germans,
Frenchmcn, Spaniards, Muscoyites, Mongo-
lians, Africans and native Americans-all in
the concrete known as republicans, all
other distinctions passing ont Of sight. In
the selection of candidate for yice-presi-
dent, the only questions to be raised are, is
he capable-is he honest-is he a sound,
reliable republican TO step beyond such
limit would he to invite combinations
that would demand the selection of Ger
man, an Englishman, Spaniard, Mongo-
liam or any other antecedent nationality as
such TO i'll our positions Of distinction and
honor. This would at once divide the party
into factions of nationality, and SOW the
seeds of its ultimate dissolution.

A New Religion.
Nashville Banne

From acummercial traveller, who has
recently been canvassing jackson and
Macon counties, Tennessee, we learn
of the origin of new religion. 1t
seems that Il certain Sage, whose sue
cess has been heretofore confined to
the pIow. has of late felt the prophet
ic fire in his veins, and is now giving
the world the benefit of his prophesy.
He had read or heard somewhere of
''sackcloth and ashes" and has intro>
duced this idea with marked effect in
TO his revelations. He insists on go
ing about the country wearing as his
prophets mantle an old tow>sack lib
erally covered with ashes. He has
hit upon another happy Idea-only
second to that of the sack and ashes;
when he breaches he takes tie SAN
dals from his feet, saying this is no.
ly ground" and is initiated by the
faithful. We learn he has secured
Il following of two or three hundred
persons, and this in the heart of Ten
neSsee.

St. Louis Republican:-The break
ing up of a coiored peoples camp
meeting at Danville, Ohio, lately was
a bloody affair, and it is supposed cost
several lives. A small party of white
''roughs" loaded with whisky made
the first attempt to break up the camp,
hut were driven back by the colored
brethren and sisters, all of whom
showed fight and defended the church
militant. The next day the camp
was attacked by a mob Of about two
hundred, armed with pistols, shot
guns. rifles and carbines. This force
was too strong for the camp-meetiDg
and the colored worshippers fled for
their lives. Several wagon-lcads Of
them we're fired into, and, it is said, q,
some were killed. A large number
we're wounded, and the deserted camp
ground looked more like a battl a-feld
than place of worship. This was an
outrage upon negroes in the loyal
state Of Ohic--Ohio is supposed to be
truly loyal. Fit had occurred in one
of the Southern states, what fuel it
might have made to FIRE the Northern
Republican heart in the presidential
campaign. In the State of Hayes
and Garfield it Is another matter Of a

THE LARGEST MUSIC DEAL
Err IN THE SOUTH.
A Sensible Plan.

The Nashville American of the
Both ut. contained the following eds
torial. 1t is the plan of settlement
which we have long thought to be
the ftirest that can be devised. and
we don't see how any honest, Thought.
full man can object to it. If the SUBJ
ject is brought before the state con.
vention at all, we believe resolution
should be adopted referring the mat
ter to the courts.
The policy the American recon-
mends is to deal with the debt of the
State as binding in whole, and to be
settled by the state as if it were Il
binding obligation. As to that we
have no doubt. There are others,
however, who do not think it is all
binding or Of equal validity. 1t is no
new idea or the proposal of any new
plan to say that we are willing to agree
that, as to any disputed bond, the
courts may determine its validity, or
determine that it is not binding. This
is common fairness and honesty. 1t
need cause no delay South Carolina
got very speedily through with the
whole subject by an honest judicial in
quiry. We advocated this plan in
1878, and before that time, and have
frequently mentioned it since, and it
is 50 obviously right, if there is to he
anv such inquiry. that we DO not see
how any fair man can ject. More
over, we advocated this plan early in
July, and it Is, therefore, no new pol
icy. That it is Il Difference to those
who honestly believe there are some
Of the bonds which have been illegally
issued or in some way are rot binding
on the State. We confess that we
have no desire to ALLEVIATE any such
man, or to throw an obstacle in his
path as a Democrat. On the cOntra>
~, we would be willing to 90 in pur>
suit Of harmony to any length, con-
sistent with principle and the mainte-
nance of the credit Of the State. Now,
that it is certain that the convention
will be largely composed of Democrats
who are earnestly desirous of main
tanning the honor and credit of the
State, we hope that. every such Demo
crat will come to Nashville willing to
yield every point not material to soul d
principle, an upright and straightfnr-
ward policy, and the preservation of
the traditions and principles of De-
mocracy. Since a judicial determil.a-
zion, to which the State is Il parry,
would be fair to both the State and
the bOndhOlder, and an honorable
proceeding on the part of the State.
There Is no reason why that policy
may not be agreed on by all who real
ly have the interest of the Denlocra.
and of the State at heart. The I'M
portant point is to establish the prin-
ciple that this is an obligation binding
on the State, which must lie met uu-
less it is declared not valid by IL fan
and competent tribunal. In propos-
ing this, we concede nothing and
abandon nothing, for we have been
urging this very policy for several
years. The compromisers and trim
mers do not view this policy with any
favor.
