IT is positively unfair to make
Mr.. English, of Indiana, the theme
Of such ridicule as the Eastern
press now impose upon that de-
feated candidate. 1t was hard
enough to run for Vice President
and get left; to be told by leading
men of his party that if he hadn't
been so stingy they could have
carried his State; to be sued by
Murphy for alleged services as
stump speaker and whipper in, and
to have that enterprising Milesian
attach his goods, chattels and real
estate to recover said indebted
ness; but now to have Republican
newspapers offer him sympathy
and coincidence in this his hour of
grief, is indeed too much. Mr..
English is badly used man.

The only definite news from the
distracted strip of territory on the
South American Pacific coast, is
that Chill has made treaty of
peace with Bolivia. The price
paid by the Bolivians for having
persuaded the Peruvians to join
them in war against the Chileans
is the cession OF the three hundred
miles of coast line that they owned.
1t is narrow strip Of desert coun-
try, with valuable silver mines and
beds of inter, but its acquisition by
Chill effectually '.bottles up" the
Bolivians from further naval ex-
ploits.

Kaiser Wilhelm.

IHE rescrIpt issued by The King
of Prussia in relation to and fixing
to his own satisfaction his royal
prerogative, has been received
with many expressions of dissasis-
faction by people in and out of ]
ONCE as Veil as the press. The
dema".a Il for absolute power will bf,
r. sisted by the Reichstag as far as
may be practicable, and the parlia-
mentary conflict is to be the most
interesting and important of any
for twenty years. While it is no
easy matter for a people to obtain
concessions from their kingly
rulers without intense and often
) dangerous agitations, yet it is fully
as difficult at this day for Euro
: pean kings to further encroach
upon popular rights. The tenden-
r cies of the age in all those coun-
a tries are in just the opposite direc-
t ton. Instead Of absolute power
e being intrusted to one man
: who rules despotically and by
t divine right, the idea is that re-
+ sponsibilities should be divided,
e and that ministers representing
g the people with more or less d.
II rectness should share in the duties
d and burdens Of government. Td
o resist this inevitable direction o.
l. events is not within the power o
g potentates, and if such be the de
y sign of the Prussian ruler he will
e when thinking over his failure
y regret that he had not acknow
IL lodged the possession by his sub
g iects of some rights which b
O. ought to have admitted and re
De spected. But this will, probably
n be the last of the Emperor's inter
re ference in governmental affairs

NUW He KNOWS now 1T Is HIMSELF-
We are informed that on the night of the
10th lust, George Burgess Il negro man
livin, on MIR. j. II. Williams plantation, was
taken out of his house and severely whipped
by party of men: The circumstances, as
We learned them, are rs follows: At about
1 clock at night Burgess was called to
his door BY two unknown men who said the,
were from Charleston and wanted nights
lodging. He told them he could not accom-.
modatc them. They then asked him for q
driuk OF water and when he turn ed to get it.
one of them caught hold of him and tried
to puff him out of the house He was too
strong for one man, however, but the other
assisted and he was jerked out into the yard
They were joined by another man and the
three men carried him to the road, n distance
of about thirty yards, where one Of the men
whlstled, at which signal the party was in.
creased to nino men. After choking him
they tied his hands and bliud-foldcd his eyes,
hurried him down the road about quarter of
mile and then, stripping him max cd tied him
to tree and whipped him most numerically
with switches. They then united him and
whipped him with the rope with which he
had been tied. Alter threatening to take
his life if he told about the whipping, they
turned him loose The men were negroes
but had their faces covered with -four as
disguise Burgess has been accused of NAL
treating his wife and he thi2ks that he was.
whipped on that account. He also thinks
that he can identify some Of his assailants
HIS wife was not present when he was taken
from the house, having left some time before
the men came. Lancaster Revic,o.

the fate of the prisoners.
The plot has been in existence since
1873, and the conspirators now number 400.
They have powder. shot and guns They
think themselves sufficiently strong to ac.
complish their fendish designs. Sunday
night, the 17th Of September, had been ap-
pointed as the d,te for its consummati on .
The papers farther showed that this day
was selected because then the white people
would be at camp meeting, unarmed, and
could then offer no resistance. The meeting
called for Saturday Brought together about
700 persons, among whom were about $50
negroes, who, after hearing the papers read
by an almost unanimous vote decided that
Jack Turner was turbulent and dangerous
character, regular frebrand in the commu
uity, and that the public demanded his
imme late death. He was accordingly
hanged at about is PM, in the presenc
of the assembled multitude. The crowd
dispersed and all signs of disturbance ceased
