Mr.. Massey says Gen. Malone want
ed mixed boards of school trustees. The
General himself has said that he is in
favor Of abolishing all race distinctions.
Well, there is no accounting for taste
and the General was even in favor of
the Chinese. But. fortunately, an over
whelming majority of the white Vir-
ginians don't agree with him. They
think it better that race distinctions
made by God should not be abolished
by man that the Chinese should stay
in their own country, and that white
children should not be compelled to go
to school with negro children or have
negro teachers nor can it be that they
think 1t is just and fair that they should
have to bear the entire burden of edu-
eating the negroes, which they will
have to do if the capitation tax, from
which the public schools derive much
of their support. be abolished in accor-
dance with another of the Generals
wishes.-Alec. Gazette.

MURDER OF A COLORED MAN IN ROCK
few weeks ago James PEI
ters, colored. was murdered at the foot of
North Mountain in Rockbridge county.
Geo. w. Rogers, colored, and a negro
woman and negro girl are charged
with the murder. The parties charged
with the murder were arrested at Cam
Melton, Knawha Co, w. Va. and taken
to Lexington and put in Jail. The Lex
ington Gazette says that upon the per-
SONS of the murdered man was found a
warrant for the arrest of Rogers upon
the charge of unlawful cohabitation.-
The evidence at the inquest goes to show
that Rogers had enticed Peters, wife
from him and was living with her in dis.
regard of law. Peters had been to Mag
istrate and secured the warrant, and it
is supposed met the accused party, when
an alteration occurred resulting in his
death from pistol shot in the back of
the head. A marriage certificate found
upon the person of Peters shows that he

HANGING OF GUITEAU.-We suppose
that Charles J. Guiteau, the lunatic who
assassinated President Garfield, will be
hanged next Friday. Believing him to
be partially deranged man, we do not
think he should be hanged, but that his
punishment should be committed to inn
prisonment for life in en- insane asylum
By hanging Guiteau, the United States
will be proclaiming to the world that a
man elected as President by the people
is not safe, and is liable to be assassi-
mated by sane men. This is not true,
and Guiteau is the victim of popular
indignation and prejudice. The English
Government is too wise to make such a
confession, and the result is, that all
who have attempted to take the life of
the Queen, have been acquitted as luna
tics. To hang Guiteau is a great mis-
take

make the following extract in reference to Mr..
Tucker and his address on that occasion:
HE was in splendid trim and stepped upon
the rostrum with the vivacity of a 240 on a
race track. He is emphatically chip of the
old block, and it is great consolation to know
that when the tooth of time renders the old
blocks unfit props for our political institutions,
we have new ones ready to take their places of

to adopt these graces. as the beauty of the
heart was the embodiment of the beautiful.

was an evidence of its appreciation"

CONGREssMAN-AT-L A RG En- ac-
cordance with the dictation of Malone,
John s. Wise is the candidate for Con-
gressman-at-large of the Readjuster-
Republican party. Malone is determ.
ined to make the Republicans eat leek,
and to take John S. Wise, who has de-
nounced the Republicans in the most
scathing terms. No man in Virginia
has denounced the Republicans in such
opprobious terms as John s. Wise in a
letter published some time since, and
yet Malone requires the Republicans to
vote for him. If they shall do SO, they
will show that they deserve the cpl
thets applied to them by John s. Wise.
If the Republicans have any self-re.
spect they cannot vote for Wise. By
voting for him, they endorse his denun-
citation of them. They put the brand
upon their own foreheads.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. In the
House of Representatives Saturday the
consideration of the bill to reduce inter-
nal revenue taxation in committee OF
the whole occupied the day. The pro-
visions embodied in the bill for the re-
lief of the national banks, including the
repeal of the tax on bank checks, bills
of exchange. bank deposits and bank
capital, were sustained, the democrats
generally voting against them and the
republicans in their favor. The repeal
of the tax on matches. perfumeries, &C.,
was also retained in the bill. Mr.. Ran
dali, on behalf of the democrats, offered
an amendment providing for the aboll-
ton of all taxes on tobacco, cigars, che"
roots, and cigarettes on the LIST of July,
1883, and for a rebate of the tax on all
stock on hand at that date. After
speeches by Messrs. Randall and Tuck

the sale of leaf tobacco by the producer
was also defeated-yeas SO, nays 81.

Destructive Storm In Iowa.
Correspondence of the sprcrArop


NEVADA, Iowa, June 18. 1891
would probably be of interest to some
of the people of the old county and
State to read of the late cyclone thal
passed through this vicinity, ipiurine
some who were once dweilers of the
star famed Valley" therefore I give
the facts as seen and heard bv vour cor.
respondent.
On yesterday evening, saturday,
June H. to one looking south from Ne.
vada, an awful sight was to he seen. A
dark cloud, shaped like funnel, could
be observed passing from q northwest
in a southwest direction, and accompa-
MED by roaring resembling distant
thunder, and strewing death and de.
struction in it's path.
STORY OF EYE WITNESSES.
Mr.. Chapman. the first man whom
the storm struck interviewed by your
correspondent, was about 80 rods south
of his house when he observed the cloud
coming. 1t passed north of him, Just
narrowly missing his house, and went
a short distance when it stopped, re.
turned and completely demolished his
house, barn, and all other out. buildings
and killed nearly all of his live stock
thence passing on in zigzag course, ii
next encountered a Mr.. Hempstock,
and soon made kindiing wood of his
buildings, leaving his wife shorn of hel
scalp, with a crushed hand and leg
The next object of its wrath was Mr..
Thomas's, where, repeating its former
work with buildings, &C., it killed two
children and wounded both of the pa
rents. The next in order came Messrs
Coyington and Whitney, repeating Its
former dread havoc with everything
that came across its path, leaving both
gentlemen shorn of everything except
the clothes they had on. This was the
last spot visited by your correspondent
that had suffered by the cyclone.
CURIOUS FREAKS OF THE CYCLONE.
A COW was carried across a field half
a mile wide, and left with her head
forced deeply in the ground. Chick
ems could beseen without feather, COM
pletely picked by the wind. A portion
of Mr.. Coyington's house was carried
five miles. Trees had the bark all blown
off, and we're torn from their roots and
were left bare poles in the wake of the
storm. Grass was cut off, and loose
ground picked up and carried off.
Greeks, ponds, and rivers were dipped
dry by the awful force of the wind.
APPEARANCE OF THE CYCLONE.
1t was shaped like funnel, with the
small end towards the earth 4; was black
as midnight, and revolving with great
rapidity, making roaring sound, and
appeared to extend to the clouds, fire.
Guently bounding in the air only to re-
turn again and commit some new work
of devastation.
The number of killed and wounded is
as yet unknown, but reports state that at
Grinnell 40 persons were killed and 70
wounded. The main portion of the
town is destroyed. The storm left a
streak of devastation from Fort Dodge
| to Muscatine. It was about 200 yards
| wide on an average. In some places
wider, and others narrower. But few
living things were left in its path of
| desolation.
