From Mississippi Jungles.

According to the average Republican
it is as impossible for Democrat to
look with justice upon the negro, as it
is for Republican to tell the truth
about Southern sentiment generally
We of the North are annually in the
habit of having our blood curdled by
some "Southern Outrage" in which
Southern Democrat figures as fiend
and the g niger" as a Iacerated, help
less victim of some CORY atrocity. 1t
comes as regularly from those South
ern swamps as ague, and it does a good
deal towards electing the House of
Representatives full of Republican
spaniels to lick the hands of Republi-
can Bosses.
Just as a symptom of the feeling
down in Mississippi and as an offset to
the Radical lies, we give below an ex-
tract from late speech by Represent
ative Hooker of that State, a pro-
nounced Democrat. Speaking of the
negro, he said:
"They were taken from the wild
jungles of Africa, where the camel,
leopard and the tiger bounded in the
vast mphitheatres of his native land.
They were brought here and settled in
the inhespitable region of New Eng
land. They were found unsuited to
that cold and intemperate climate, and
that same philanthropy, guided by
| that overruling Providence which
shapes our ends, rough heW them how
we will,n traAsplanted them to the
| slumbering savannas of the flower
scented South.
| "In contact with the Caucasian race
themselves, at the expiration of a cen
| tury from the time that they We're firs1
| brought here, all at once, as Minervt

That does not have ring as if
came from the heart of q man who's
life had been spent in butchering an
torturing the negro. 1t is not likel
that the man who spoke these word
has lived III a community where tn
recreation was hacking darkies int

A MASSACHUSETTS weaver is said
by the local staticians to average no
more than 1864 week. The English
weaver makes So, ,2S, but the necessities
of life cost the former 81 ,26 more per
week. In some Massachusetts, families
the wages of children, added to what
the father makes, brings the income
up TO 5000. Tke cost of food, which
constitutes about seventy per cent. oi
the expenditures of factory families,
has increased about Is per cent. since

THE First National Bank of Buffalo
closed its doors and suspended business
on Friday morning. A large number
of drafts issued to live stock dealers
drawn on the Fourth National Bank
of New York the 4th inst. and since
that date, were dishonordd in New
York the day previous. The extent of
the drafts unpaid cannot be ascertain
ed now, but it is thought to be large.
The failure will seriously affect large
number of cattle dealers who sent
these drafts in payment for stock sold
by them. 1t is believed depositors
will be paid in full.

I'm period when there seems to be
little respect for the limitations of the
power prescribed by our written CON
stitutions; when the assumptions of
ungranted authority are rife in all de-
partments of the Federal Government
or when that Government is gradually Y
changed into an elective despotism
meddling in everything belonging to
the States and to individuals when
every new assumption of ungranted
power creates new opportunities, new
facilities and new incentives to favor
itism and jobbery; when the civil SER
vice has been converted into balance
of power to determine elections by
pecuniary and other illegiLimate influ-
ence; when perversion of high public
trusts to the private gain of the official
is frequently committed with apparent
Inconsistencies of wrong. and passes
almost without rebuke, it is time that
! the teachings and example of Thomas
Jefferson be invoked to keep alive q
glimmering spark of official virtue and
| public honor."-[SAMUEL ]. TILDEN

The notorious Captain Howgate, the
government official in custody on
charge of embezzling public funds,
made his escape on Thursday last. He
was allowed to visit his home in COM
pany with bailitf, ostensibly to see
his daughter and get some papers.
While there he passed from one room
to another and, evading the observa-
ton of the bailiff skipped out. He
was only out of the bailiff's sight for a
few minutes, but when the bailiff
looked for Howgate he could not find
him and no trace of the fugitive has
yet been seen. 1t is believed that the
escape was the result of a well con.
trived conspiracy and that there are
persons high in official position who
do not want the case ever to come tC
