The Huntsville Herald, paper edited
by colored man, has the following to
say in reference to a trip to Indiana of
its editor:
More than two weeks ago we shook
from our feet the dust of the hoosier
State, and wended our way southwark,
satisfied that our room in the North
was more acceptable than our company,
and
I'm Dixie's land Wen take our stand"
We talked with Northern men, at
home and abroad, and they do not hest
tate IN stating plainly that it is better for
the negro TO remain in the South. They
are willing to contribute something To
educate the ''heatehn negro of the South
but would rather have the school beyond
the reach of their noses. This is, indeed
a true instance in which distance lends
enchantment to the view"
Except for political purposes, the
further the negro is removed from the
model Northerner, the better he loves
him.

1t appears that ex-senator Conkling
has determined to re-enter politics. He
proposes to make fight for control of
the Utica delegation to the coming State
convention. More than that, he intends
to go TO the convention as the boss of
that delegation The ex Senator's friends
are counting great deal upon the State
Central Committee That body was
made up under the rule put none but
Conklingites on guard" but because a
majority were COnkling men then it does
not follow that they still continue to be
blind adherents Of that gentleman.

There are now lying in the jail at St.
Louis, awaiting trial, fifteen murderers,
a larger number. says journal of that
city, than are confined for the same crime
in any other city in the world. 1t might
also be added, truthfully, that more per-
sons who have committed murder have
escaped the proper penalty in st. Louis
than anywhere else. The fact that
hanging is played out" there. probably
accounts for the frequent murders. A
few evenings ago a man was shot dead
on one of the busiest corners of st. Louis
streets. night under the broad glare of
an electric light, yet the assassin or
asssssins escaped, and no clue throwing
light on the crime has so far been dis
covered.

The Rev. Henry MOntsgu Butler, D.
D., Head Master of Harrow School. who
has been selected by Mr.. Gladstone to
succeed Dean Stanley in the Deanery Of
Westminster, is said to be a divine al
most without a theological record, hsv
ing never written anything on the sub
ject Of theology except sermons to his
school boys. Canon Farrar, who might
have been expected to succeed Dean
Stanley, put himself out of the list by
his denial Of Hell as a place of future
punishment. 1t would seem that Mr..
Gladstone, while unwilling to name q
Dean who had denied Hell, was quite as
unwilling to name one who had affirmed
It. and so chose one who has not yet
made q record in the matter, and who
viii be able to steer between Scylla and
Charybdis BY not doing it.

The Avengers on Guiteau's Track.

Guiteau seems to have recOnsidered
his purpose to apply for release on bail,
if, indeed, he actually contemplated
such course. 1t is probably well for
him that he has determined not to push
the impertinent demand, and his aban-
donment of the project is probably due
to his own consciousness that his life
would not be worth counterfeit nickel
from the moment he should be deprived
of the protection of the Jail and the
soldiers who guard it.
There is no doubt that there are many
men in this country who have inlexiblY
determined to kill Guiteau if he shall be
set at liberty. There is, says the Tribune,
at least one such man in Chicago. He is
a cool, resolute, determined fellow. He
is not fanatic, but a man Of good sense
and sound mind He has deliberately
come to the firm conviction that it is his
duty to rid the world of Guiteau, when
ever the latter shall be turned loose. He
says that he does not feel any response
bility in the case so long as Gulteau shall
be in the hands of the law-whether
he be in Jail, in the penitentiary, or the
insane asylum. But the moment Gui-
teau shall be turned loose, whether tenn
porarily or permanently, this man pro-
poses to follow him, find him, and kill
him, if he shall be anywhere within the
boundaries of the United States. The
avenger swears that Guiteau shall not
be safe on the street, in the cars, in a
hotel, or in church, or at his home, If he
has any, nor in any place where another
may reach him. There is not the slight
est doubt that this Chicagoan is in fear
full earnest about the matter-as earnest
and determined as Guiteau himself was
in his purpose to assassinate the Presi-
dent.

1t is stated that Gen. Robert Lowery,
the Democratic nominee for Governor of
Mississippi, like President Andrew John
son, was taught to read by his wife,
since which he has risen to be one of
the most influential men in the State.
His nomination is equivalent to an cleo
ton, and it is understood that the same
influences that brought about his nomi-
nation will probably defeat the re-elec-
ton of Senator Lamar for the Senate.

nouucement that Hon. Samuel ]. Tilden
is in the field as a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for President in
1884. Tie Hour says that with the
shrewdness and foresight, for which he is
remarkable, he has carefully surveyed the

to himself, to his party and to the coun.
try by the reversal of the popular verdict

The Northern newspapers generally
deny that the finding of the Whitaker
court martial is known to any one ex-
cept the court and the Judge Advocate
General. But the Philadelphia Times is
confident that the court was unanimous
against Whitaker. The Washington
Star Of Saturday says: 1T is learned
beyond the question Of doubt that the
findings Of the court are against Whitta-
ker. He is found guilty of committing
an alleged outrage upon himself, and
also of not telling the truth about it
The sentence Of the court is that he be

TO indicate that the proceedings viii not
