Mr. Sullivan seems to have lost that presence

that Humboldt is destined for town OF no

This county, with population OF abou

Democrats desired to have Mr.. TILDEN de-

President. No good can ever result from
clectinc negroes to Office. The northern

they never will, Notwithstanding that III
several noythern States the negroes hold
the balance Of power. We do not censurc
our northern brethren for this reason.
There is no excuse for putting negroes
over white men. They are not fit to make
laws for the superior race. Therefore, we
cannot but be surprised that Mr.. CALSiNs
should permit prejudices engendered by
the war between the States to dominate his
Judgment and his feelings as white man.

During last week a negro, Spencer Scott,
living on Bullfield farm, was hauling plank
for fencing. On the road to where the
hands were working with his load, Mr.
Harefeld. Major Doswclrs manager, said
to him, ''You have not brought the right
kind OF plank; told you to bring narrow
plank. and you have brought plank which
is entirely TOO wide" adding, " that i just
the way with You; you can't do what you
are told unless some one stands by to see
you do it," The negro replied, 4" ! am no
dog to be talked to that way" and repeated
the remark several times in an insolent
tone. Harefeld replied. &" You don't know
who YOU are talking to-" WhercupOn the
negro dsmounted and advanced upon
IIarcfield in n threatening manner, who
drew pistol and warned him off, which
warning the negro needed at the time but
the next day, while at work and while
Harefield was in n stopping posture, the
negro (another negro being present. fell
upon IIarelield from behind. clutched him,
and beat him cruelty, not desisting until
he had taken Harefield's pistol away from
