HENRY HIGHLAND GARNET, D. D.

The sad intelligence Of the death ofthis eminent
divine aud philanthropst will not only cast
gloom over the hcarthstones of every oolorod fam
lily throughout the length and breadth of our land,
but this great sorrow will enter the homo Of every
English -sneaking humanitarian on both sides of
the Atlantic. For quarter Of n century prior to
TO the SHAREHOLDERS rebellion Dr. Garnet held no
second place in the anti-slavery crusade, and his
eloquent pleas for the emancipation of his race
electrified many audiences, both In America and
Europe. The labor Of his entire life was conse-
Grated TO the material INTELLECTUAL and religious
advancement of his people, and the loss
of his worth to the church and state will be deeply
felt aud universally regretted. A few short months
ago buoyNnt with hopes for the future of his race,
he left his native land for his post Of duty in
Africa. on the tar-oT shores Of Fatherand, On
the tOmbs of his ancestors, he found u fitting
scpulchre, and beneath the golden sands of the
land of his fathers, amid
Afric's sunny fountains,
all that Is mortal Of the faithful minister of Christ
the eloquent defender of the liberty Of his race,
and the fearless advocate of human fly, lies peace
fully
In his grave,
Aud aflcr lfc's ntful fever,
lie sleeps well. - -

The Railroad Land Grants.

We are not able to say how much time
may be necessary for the preparation by
the Interior Department of the informa-
ton called for by the House in relation
to uncamed land grants, but we do not
imagine that any unnecessary delay will
be had. 1t is not communism for the
representatives of the people to re-
store TO the public domain what
ever portion of the enormous
grants made in aid of railroads
may be found subject to forfeiture. Let
Congress hew to the line in this import
ant matter. The great railroad corpora
tions are entitled TO their own, but not to
any more. II will be unfortunate if
anything shall lend color to the idea.that
the public interests are less zeaously
cared for by Congress than are those of
the great railroad corporatio

on Saturday the daily papers contained great
surprise. It was announced that the President
had nominated ex-senator Coukllng TO the Su.
prcme bench. The opinions about it are many,
and in many instances violently opposite Ohio
is not only not the United States but her citizens
generally feel too tcnderly the cruel murder of
Garfield to be altogether impartial judges. 1t IL
said that Mr. Arthur is earnestly striving TO close
the threatening breaches in the party and to solid
ify it for the future aud whatever individual feel
ing citizens Of ONO may have against Conk.
ling, yet that feeling must not be in
lnlVed TO the direct sacrifice of the best
Interests OF the party IN the United States. From
the standpoint of preparing for 1854 and from the
standpoint Of the indignation and bereavement of
Ohio and her long suffering in 1881 two very diff
terent conditions OF affairs are presented, aud the
living future Is now more important than tue
dead past, with all its depressing sorrows. Else

John Browns Daughter.

We hear from Washington that lady has laid
before Secretary Folgcr Of the Treasury, the fact
that Miss Sarah Brown, daughter OF John Brown
the brave pioneer of Kansas fame, was eligible TO
aud needed q clerkship in the United States Mint

be glad to make an appointment which will so
please the Republicans of the West and make
glad every honest Republican who shall hear of 1t
throughout the land, Let 1t not be said under
this Administration that Miss Brown shall wait
longer for an appointment than it will take the
mails to convey It to Saratoga, Col,SHR Jose lLdi
