Montenegro and Sicily have, we believe
risen above thers in self.restraint and

has the advantage in manliness, as he
carries his weapons in large belt on bis
stomach, in full view of everybody, SC
that any one who does not care for dis.
cussion with him can keep out of his
way. In South Carolina and Mississippi
on the other hand, one may any day get
into dispute with a gentleman who in
dress and other externals has the air OF
a minister of the Gospel, but Las con.
cealed in his pockets behind his back the

the worst type"
The South Carolina Legislature value
the good opinion of the people of other
States, rs matter of course, but they
did not try to curry favor with anybody.
Seeing that evils existed which might be
reached by law they grappled with them,
and if they do not succeed in their aims,
at the first effort, they will try again.
One thing is certain. No one in South
Carolina will mock Mt Northern reform
ers in the way that so many of them
mock at us. Whenever We see them
honestly striving to correct abuses and
repress crime ne give them hearty sup
port and sympathy. This is q more
American way of feeling and acting, we
fancy, than that which is pursued by
papers of the class at the head Of which
the Nation stands.-Charleston 1News and

A New Years Eve Tragedy.

\ correspondent of the Charleston
Ne,cs and Courier, writing from Florence,
S. c., under date of December 81, says: {:
On last Saturday night traveller pre-
sentcd himself at Schroeder's Hotel at
this place and called for lodgings, with
the request that he should not be called
up in the morning for breakfast, as he
was very tired and wanted sleep. He
was evidently q German Jew, aged be-
tween As and so years, of low stature,
dark hair, gray whiskers, small hands
and feet wore dark business suit of
clothes, low shoes, cloth leggins, gray
woolen socks, and stiff brim black felt
hat He came on the train from Charles.
ton; was seen at the depot in that city
and on the train by the stewardess.
He told the night porter of Scnroeder's
that he had not slept for four nights aud
wanted IL late breakfast. He was called
by the hall.boy at 10 q. m. for breakfast,
but refused to get up or eat, and said he
wanted TO sleep until dinner. He was
called up by the same boy at dinner, and
again refused to get up, but told the boy
to call him at o'clock p. m. for supper.
The proprietor of the hotel saw him
about 6 o'clock p. n., and was told that
he wanted to sleep, that he could not
eat, but that he (Alr. S. ,ould send him
q cup of coffee, which was sent. He
then gave the boy twenty-five cents to
get him some whiskey, and told him that
he had been on an awful drunk for three
or four days aud wanted to sleep. The
porter tried to awaken him on Wcdnes.
day morning at 2 o'clock, but could not
get in the room. The porter again tried
10 enter the room about 10 o'clock a. M.
Wednesday morning and again called at
II o'clock, but did not report it to the
proprietor until about halt:past o'clock,
when the proprietor was Informed by
him that the man was standing in q
corner of the room dead
An entrance was effected through the
window, and the horrible reality con-
frmed, for the poor man had hung him
self, as stated. with n handkerchief 10 a
wooden peg about Gl feet from the floor.
There we're no contortions of the body
or limbs, and his limbs were not confined.
The nearly filled flask of whiskey was on
the mantlepiecc within reach of the
corpse. Mr. S. cut the handkerchief and
had the body put on the bed, but too late
to restore life.
An inquest was held yesterday after
noon, and the jury found in the pockets
of the unknown man two watcles-one
a ladies' gold hunting case made by Ray
mond, at Locle; the other silver hunt
ing case. There was also found in his
pockets two dollars and thir,y-five cents,
some rosin, blank book with several
leaves erased, and a small red leather
pocketbooa. The corpse WIS buried to-
day by the town. There was no mark or
name on any of his clotlles-not q line
of writing cr letters to trace who he was,
but several gentlemen who saw the corpse
said they thought he was rosin dealer
by the name OF Fulcher.

and firemen quickly removed these, and
made heroic efforts TO gain the upper
floors, wh9nce issued cries of those yet
imprisoned. They were beaten back
each time. Officer Thomas Barrett
reached the second floor on a fire.escape
and assisted in the rescue of two chill
dren, before lie himself was compelled to
jump for bis life. In half an hour al!
was over. The house stood scorched,
blackencd and dripping from roof to
cellar with torrents of water that had
flooded it. The damage to the house was
estimated at $4,000. The building is the
property of Mrs. Eagan, a wealthy resi-.
dent of an uptown street, and was fair
type of hundreds of structures in New
York, in which the poor are hudded
without sufficient means of escape in case
of fire.
Another victim of the fire was found
this afternoon in the person of babe Of
Mrs. Cassidy. The little one WAS clasped
to its mothers breast, wrapped in a
blanket. The ten bodies were placed in
cofTins and removed from the station
house to the Morgue. Timothy Harring-
ton, one of the plumbers, through whose
carelessness it is charged the fire had its
origin, when questioned by Coroner
Herman, explained that he was using a
gasoline lamp to thsw out the pipes.
With him WAS boy named McGloan, q
green hand, who had worked for him
only since the previous day. He held
the lamp, the contents Of which were
exceedingly inaammablc. He had been
warned several times, but heedlessly
tipped the lamp and some of the oil ran
out. 1t flashed at once. In his flight,
Harrington's hands were burned. The
boy, McGloan, disappeared. The police
are looking fer him, and at the order of
Coroner Sherman, took Harrington to
the House of Detention, where he will
be held as a witness pending inquiry.
His employer, Mr.. Patten, was taken to
the station by policeman at two o'clock
and examined by the Coroner An in
quest will be held next week.

"The negro, politically. is on the look
out for himself. In national election
he is a Republican, but as soon as
he gets mule and bale of cotton he
wants to keep them, and he has seen
from bitter experience that the way to
lose them, TO have them stolen from him
is to restore negro ascendancy in the
management of Southern State politics.
He does not want to be robbed, taxed
out of existence, and robbery and pillage
on the greatest scale ever witnessed is the
record that black Republican rule in the
South has lett behind it. AS rule the
negro is now free to vote in the South.
ern States. Four black Democrats sit
in the Stale Legislature of South Caroli-
ma from the City of Charleston. Has
New York or Pennsylvania ever done as
much for their colored population ?
There are black policemen in New Or
leans swinging their clubs around the
heads of the ex.planters and slave own
ers of Louisiana more frequently
than they (the ex.planters) would perhaps
care to tell. I never saw colored
policeman in New York. It's Republi
can Legislature, which regulates the
police force of that city, has never provi:
dcd for the appointment of q colored
policemen there, and I feel certain that
if Mr.. Stokley, Republican Mayor of
Republican Philadelphia, were to attempt
to place one on Chestnut street there
would be good sized rebellion in the
party ranks. That there are some dis
tricts in the South where different or
der of things prevails I admit-as, for
instance, in some parts of Mississippi
but, as rule, the negro in the South to-
day is as free, and good deal freer, as
We saw in the late election, to vote pref
ty much as he pleases, as they are in
Pennsylvania. And he votes for his own
interests-first, last and all the time.
Negro rule and white Republican rule

unrest, strife and the suspension ofnearly

property or few hundred dollars in

them, and they vote for those who they
know will protect it,"
"The way 10 make the South Repub-
lican is to do it without their knowingit.
Let Garfield give it decent, respectable
ofhcials-I do not care, and the South
does not care, whether they be black or
white, Republicans or Democrats-and
he will have taken the first great step in
this direction. All that they want in the
South is honest, fair government. The
South wants her affairs, Federal and State
to be honestly administered. IfGeneral
Garfield will do all he can in this direc.
ton, he will insensibly win supporters
for his administration there, and ifeyer he
should get into conflict with the ex-
IRENE Radical wing or any other party,
they will sustain and holdur his hands"

4 HAPPY COUNTRY FOR CHILDREN.
-"I never saw the people take so much
delight in their children" writes Miss
Bird in her new book on the japanese,
carrying them about or holding their
hands in walking, watching and entering
into their games, supplying them con-
stantly with toys, taking them to picnics
and festivals, and never being content to
be without them. Both fathers and
mothers take 4 pride in their children.
1t is most amusing, about six every
morning, to see twelve or fourteen men
sitting on q low wall, each with child
or two in his arms, iondling and playing
with it, and showing of its physique and
intelligence. At night, after the houses
are shut up, looking through the long
fringe Of rope or rattan which conceals
the sliding door, you see the naked father
bending his ugly, kindly face over a
gentlo.looking baby; and the mother,
who more often than not has dropped the
kimono from her shoulders, entolding
two children destitute of clothing in her
arms. The children, though for our
ideas too gentle and formal, are very pre-
possessing in looks and behavior. They
are little men and women, rather than
children, and their old fashioned appear.

same as that of adults"

WALL STREET.
The Stringency in Money-The Success
the Gould Party in the New England
Road-Dealings in Government Bonds.

New YORK, Dec, 7.-Wall street reports
state that the stringency in money is mainly
due to manipulation, and some operators think
the banks are locking up money much more
than was necessary. A prominent Nassau
Street Bank has attracted some comment by
its unwillingness to make loans. An unusual
number of loans were called yesterday. The
sharpest money brokers think that high rates
for money will prevail for considerable time.
Nearly all the commission houses say that
prices will probably sag if money continues ac-
tive. The pronounced bears OF the Park Gam
mack party talk of a speedy 10per cent decline
in prices. The Vanderbilt houses are divided.
Those credited with drawing their inspiration
from VIM. FL. Vanderbilt are more bearish
than the houses which do business for younger
members of the Vanderbilt family. The Gould
party counseled inaction yesterday. A promi-
nent member said that the market would prob
ably be dull until next week, when new pro-
gramme would be announced.
The success of the Gould party in the New
York and New England election, yesterday, is
an important gain for Manhattan. There are
strong indications that the Metropolitan Com
pany will find itself in very disagreeable po-
sitien if it does not accept the modified agree
ment. The decline in Governments was on re-
ports concerning the Sherman bill, but re-
covery took place on the better understanding
of the purpose of the bill. The treatment OF
the subject in the messages of the President
and Secretary of the Treasury hac reassuring

1t is reported there would be some selling of
Boston, Hartford and Erie firsts within few
days The Hoosac Tunnel Company has lust
purchased between $200,O00 and 100000 Of
Syracuse and Chenango bonds. The New York
and New England Company voted yesterday
to secure by lease, purchase or construction
line to New York.
81 am heavy stakeholder, but don't know
a word about this NATTER said Mr. William
81 Vanderbilt last evening, when asked what
he thought about Mr. Jay Gould's project OF q
terminus in this city for the New York and
New England railroad. III may be mere
stock jobbing operation and it may be genu-
inc They didn't consult me and 1 have no
means of knowing their plans. He begged to
be excused from commenting on the subject.
