Robert Jefferson, noted colored
man, of Indianapolis, died at ODER
lin, o., few days ago. He claimed
that he was a son of Thomas Jeffcr-
son, the author of the Declaration of
Independence. He was born in 1903
on the plantation of Mr.. Christian,
of Charlestown, Va, his mother be-
ing Millie Reddiford, a mulatto slave,
famous in those days for her beauty.
Roberts mother told him of his
father and Mr.. Christian confirmed
her statement. The deceased was
slave until about 1852, when he pur-
chased his freedom and that of his
wife from his master, paying s2,764
for himself and $500 for his wife,
having earned the money at odd
hours doing carpenter work. After
living in several places for short
periods Mr.. Jefferson finally settled
in Indianapolis in 1854, where his
home was until his death. He leaves
an estate worth $4,000.

The Superintendent Of the schools
of this State is circulating petitions
asking Congress for national aid to
Free Schools. The population of
West Virginia is 8lS,4 57 +; total illit-
crates ten years of age and over and
who cannot write, S5,373; average
length OF school term, four and a
half months. An appropriation at
the rate Of s3 per capita for litter
ates would give the schools Of this
State each year s356,l2S. This sum
would add two or three months to
the present term of our county
schools, and enable our city and
town schools to provide more eff
GENTLY than they now can for their
advancement. While asking pro-
vision for this want, the voters should
consider the necessity Of preventing
the school fund from becoming Leg.
islativo plumber, and this can only
be done by a political revolution in
this State.

High prices in meats prevail
throughout the East and West-beef
selling in some places from twenty
to twenty-four cents per pound.
There seems to be q scarcity Of cat
tie this spring, which can be ac-
counted for by the scarcity of feed
in the fall. In some places the
severe drought made the hay and
fodder crops failure, and stock
raisers were compelled to put their
young cattle on the market too ear
ly. In the HARVEST young cattle
persisted by cold, want of feed, and
in the heavy floods. Farmers in
Pennsylvania and Maryland who fed
cattle during the winter more than
doubled their money. They bought
at three and three and q half per
hundred, and now sell at as high as
eight. There will be a certain risk,
however, in feeding cattle next year,
as prices will be high in the fall,
while fair corn crop and crowded
market may bring low prices in the
spring

into rather strong relief the absu.dity of
the position of Gen. Swain, who, while
publicly committed to the opinion that
Mason has been wrongfully imprisoned, is
expected to show on behalf of the govern
meut that he ought to be kept in prison.
The secretary of war, in his report to the
president, takes issue with the judge ad-
vocate general, and Attorney General
Brewster is also understood to be adverse
to the somewhat novel views of military
and civil law held by Gen. Swain. 1t
would seem to follow that the parsonage
who is supposed to be the official legal ad-
wiser of the war department is decidedly
out of place, and that during the further
stages of the Mason case the only service
he. can render the government is to hold
his tongue. Had he been little more Of
a soldier he would probably have taken

more of a lawyer, any opinion he felt
