Drawing the Color Line.

Washington, October 23.-The
young Southern men who are stu.
dents at the Columbia Law school
here were very much surprised
last week to find that they had
been sitting for several weeks
with q fellow student who is a ne
gro. The faculty shared in that
surprise, and the young chiy airy
gave emphasis to their astonish'
ment by addressing note to the
faculty asking that the colored
man be expelled, and announcing
as the alternative that in the event
he should be retained they would
all leave. The faculty are now
considering the threat. The negro
in question is so very ligh t eolored
that his remote African parentage
was not at first discovered, and
the faculty admitted him to the
recitations.

Hon. e. W. CLAKKE:
Dear Sir-Recently when you
were in Vicksburg in the law Office
of Messrs. Brien & Gibson, Mr..
James NJ. Gibson, junior, said to
you that the effect of your eandi-
dacy for Congress would be to en-
courage a Democrat to enter the
contest. In response to which
you said: 81 am Republican,
running as Republican, and want
a Republican elected. If l cannot
be elected my wish is that Judge
Jeffords shall be elected; aud if
there be a Democratic candidate
| will withdraw. / have no desire
to disorganize the Republican par
ty or to endanger the Republican
representation IN Congress from
this district" Believing that you
were then sincere in this declara-
tion, and now knowing that the
Hon. V. b. Waddell is q Democra.
tic candidate for Congress from
this district, l respectfully request
you, in the interest of the party,
to withdraw and throw your iniiu.
ehce for Judge +. Jeffords, the
nominee of the party.
Very respectfully,
w. r. SPEARS.

The Figure Head Of the Consultation.

lTimes-DcmOcrat.
The following communication,
relative to the capture of the fig
ure.head of the Constitution, will
be found interesting:
Editor of the Times Democrat:
In your paper of this tMonday)
morning, giving a brief history of
the capture of the figure-head of
Gen. Jackson from the old frigate
Constitution, 1t is stated "she was
moored in New York harbor at the
tlme,n which was not the case.
The ship was lying at the Charles
town, Mass, navy yard, and during
a terrific stormy night, while the
marines paced the deck on watch
or had sought shelter, Lieut.. How.
ard, a native of Dorchester, Mass,
who was a revenue cutter officer,
with a few men, employed a boat
and rowed silently under the fri
gates bows; ascending the chains,
he silently sawed off the figure
head, lowered it into the boat, and
covering it with canvas, quietly
rowed away without being discov-
cred. It's loss created great
CONSERVATION and large rewards
were offered for it's capture.
Weeks passed, and quietness be.
ing restored, a grand dinner was
given at the fremont House, Bos.
ton. In the centre of the table
could be seen a pyramid covered
with a long tin cone. When the
covers we're removed and the
glasses filed for the first toast
the image was uncovered, and
there stood forth the figure-head
Of the General, to the great aston
ishment of the guests.
These facts | well remember
being present at the time.

Origin OF the Song "John Browns

M. Foster Sweetser, in his late
book on "Boston Harbor and Fort

dom: at happened, therefore,
that from this happy garrison,
fort Warren, Boston harbor) pro-
ceeded one of the most powerful
influences which made themselves
felt in the national armies during
that long and weary war. The IA
nous song "JOhn Browns Body
Lies Wondering in the Grave"
was composed and first sung at
Fort Warren by the second bat
talon of Light Infantry, in the
Spring of 1862. 1t was adapted
to an old Methodist camp-mceting
tune, somewhat altered in form,
and the brigade band at the fort
was the first that played it. The
singers entered the twelfth regi.
ment, which marched through
Boston, New York and Baltimore
to this grand chorus from one
thousand throats, and the music
ran through the Army of the Po-
tomac, nor ceased until grim, pow

it in Texas and Alabama, and down
the great Mississippi, and on all
the flowery coasts of the Gulf,

Tired OF the Party Lash"
Ex-Cadst Whittsksr's View Of the Political
Situation.

Beaufort, s. o., Oct. Is.
Editor Charleston News and Courier:
/ noticed not many days ago
slurs in some of the newspapers as
to my "political faith" and my
Stop" Ihave never yet belonged
tc any particular party, therefore
| cannot be SAID to have "fOpped'
from one party to another.
This letter will explain my "po-
litical faith.n A Southerner, |
love the South and it's interests.
l look to-day upon the condition
of the colored man in the South,
and ask, How can the problem in
which he is the main factor be
solved! |!
For more than II years he has
been driven by a party lash, and
made to vote and act against his
own interest, and against those
whose interests must, from the
surrounding circumstances, be
identical with his.
No one denies that Radical rule
has brought all the ills which have
come alike to white and black in
this section for the last twelve or
fifteen years. No one can deny
that the reign during that time
was a reign Of plunder.
How can the condition of the
South bc made better? | answer :
BY educating the masses; by edu.
eating men to act irrespective of
party lines; by maintaining home
rule; by burying old issues, and
by showing the colored man that
his best friends can be found in
the South when he ceases to act
as he now does without cause
againt them.
Southern wealth, Southern cul.
ture, Southern votes and South.
ern men-native born-must and
Will rule the South. If all citizens
will recognize this fact and work
for the accomplishment of this
end, a better feeling must exist
between the two races, and bet
ter government must and will be
established.
There are many among the col
ored people who are tired of the
party lash, and who will one day
make a break.
There are only needed the few
who will be brave enough to lead
and teach, and speak.
There must, ere long, be a change
from the very foundation of oul
national government. 1t is even
now foreshadowed by the brave
fight which just men are making
against Bossism" IN Pennsylva
mia and Virginia, and by the fgh
that is being made against currup
tion in Ohio, New York and th'
South.
This change must begin in tn,
States. It must come in the South
: and be such that it will prove t.
all that friendly feelings can exis
between the two races.

Grinding the Poor Clerks.

Special to Times-Democrat.
Washington, October 22d.-The
clerks in the departments are being
pressed for money by Hubbelrs
committee and the State commit
tees of their respective States
more unrelentingly than was ever
before known in the history of po-
litical assessments. A well-knOwn
clerk in the Postoffice department
said this afternoon that never,
even in Presidential election years,
had there been such demand on
the clerks for money. Many of
the clerks who have large families
and small salaries are borrowing
money to pay their assessments,
because they feel assured if they
don't pay up they will lose their
places. Yesterday, 1t IS SAID, a
clerk went to Secretary Teller and
asked him what the consequence
would be if he failed to pay his
assessment. He told the Secre.
tary that it took every dollar Of
his salary to meet his expenses.
The Secretary said he would not
talk about the matter as It was no
affair of his. He told him, how.
ever, that he must exercise his
own judgment in the matter, and
that if he lost his place not to
/ think his misfortune was due to
the fact Of not paying his assess
ment.

FerguSon'S Riae-I776.
[BlackwOOd's NIagazine.l

Curious, that IA century ago a
breech loading rifle, which enabled
those armed with it to seize every
advantage of cover, should have
been invented, brought into use,
and then lost sight of. American
writer's note that during the Rev
olutionary war Ferguson's rifle
"was used with effect by his
corps" and the biographer of
Washington says of its inventor:
"The British extolled him as su-
perior to the American Indians in
the use of the rifie-in short, as be-
ing the best marksman living
An account of its exhibition before
Lord Townsend, then Master-Gen-
eral of the Ordnance, is to be found
in the Annual Register of June 1,
1776. "Some experiments were
tried at WoOlwich before Lord Wis
count Townsend, Lord Amherst,
Gems. Hervey and Desaguiliers,
and a number of other officers,
with rihe-gun, upon new con.
struetion, by Capt. Ferguson, of
the Seventeenth Regiment; when
that gentleman, under the disad-
vantages of a heavy rain and a
high wind, performed the follow.
ing four things, none of which had
ever before been accomplished
with any other small arm:
First, he fired during four or
five minutes at a target at 200
yards distance, at the rate of four
shots each minute; second, he
fred six shots in one minute +;
third, he fred four times per min
ute, advancing at the same time at
the rate of four miles in the hour ;
fourth, he poured a bottle of water
into the pan and barrel Of the
piece when loaded, so as to wet
every grain Of powder, and In less
than half q minute fired with her
as well as ever without extracting
the ball. lie also hit the bulls
eye at 100 yards, lying with his
back on the ground; and notwith
standing the unequaness Of the
wind and the wetness of the wea
ther, he only missed the target
three times during the course o
the experiments. The Captain hal
since taken out a patent for sal,
improvements.
The invention attracted a goo,
deal of attention, aud before Ion,
was exhibited before the King q
Windsor, by somc private men o
the Guards. But in the presenc
of Majesty the men were shy am
