Gen. Longstreet, who ought to be q
good republican authority, said in a
recent interview, that sat least fifty
thousand of the sixty-five thousand COL
ored voters of Georgia have cut loose
from the republican party, and are now
voting right straight along with the
democrats.
The Aberdeen (Miss.) Examiner, in
quoting the above, says "this same
change is going on in every other south
ern state, !" and the ADVERTISER is pleased
to note the fact that the "change" has
reached Texas, and predicts that at the
next election heavy colored vote will
be polled against the republican party.

THE Democratic State Convention
of Ohio will assemble on the 21st
inst. Interest centres upon the noni-
inee for Governor, and at present the
contest seems to be narrowed down
to Judge Hoadley, who presided over
the last National Democratic Conven-
ton, and Col. Durham Ward. Both Of
these gentlemen are residents of Gin
cinnati, and as the fight will largely
depend upon the Hamilton county
result, it is but natural that the selec-
ton of candidate to head the ticket
should be made from among its prom
inent and popular citizens.
Judge Hoadly is said to be the
first choice of Senator Pendleton,
while Ward is prime favorite. with
Judge Thurman; but it is understood
that those two distinguished Ohioans
have pooled their personal feelings in
the matter, and will cheerfully coop
crate in securing harmony in the
and the party.

In response to letter from Gen
Jno. A. Martin, of Kansas, the new
Secretary of the National Republican
Executive Committee, asking for the
records belonging to that angelic
body, his predecessor Star Route
Dorsey answered that"the Committee
never kept any records"
Dorsey's experience with "the little
red book" and the other hidden doc
uments that were called for in the
recent trial, have disguised him with
records, but if the secret history of
his committee transaction in 1880,
could be brought to light, the revel-
atoms would disgust every honorable
Republican in the land. There were
crimes committed in that campaign
that he did not dare give to the re-
cord.

Sugg estive Straws.

A man named Warner, was taken
out of Jail, at Cheboygan, Michigan,
on the night of the 18th, by an as
sembly of five hundred men, and
hung by the neck until dead, for the
commission of one of those fearful
crimes that seldom await the action
of a jury in our State. There is little
likelihood of any change ever coming
to the sun-born and climatic habits,
customs and civilization of the South,
but there is abundant reason to be-
lieve that her code of practice and
general plan of civilization will in
the course of time become continent
al. The two executions by edict of
primitive juries in Iowa few days
ago, and the killing of the woman
slanderer, Dukes, by young Mutt, in
Uniontown, Penn, on the 18th inst,
and this summary execution of
Warner, in Michigan, for hellish
crime, as we'll as many other similar
incidents in the recent past, are all
suggestive straws.

Henry Waterson, of the Courier Jour.
nal has just returned from his annual
visit to Uncle Sam Tilden, and as usual
gushes over the old mans regeneration.
He assures us that MIR. Tilden is unal.
terably determined not 10 be again a
candidate for the Presidency or the
nomination, but takes the best of care to
tell us that the ex-President whose SALE
ry was pocketted by Hayes, did not au>
thorize him to make any such statement.
Tilden is doubtless in full possession
of oil his mental faculties and perhaps
in better health than when he led our
column i'll 1876, but if he is "unaltera-
bly, determined not to be again q candi
date" why will he not authorize some
man or journal to "speak right out in
meeti n.y." md say so.

The Women OfEurOpe.

Susan B. Anthony, the "head CEN
ter" of the woman suffrage cause, is
now in Paris and writes to a friend
in Philadelphia as follows:
mo matter how fine the paintings,
statuary, architecture or scenery, in the
midst of it all my head and heart turns
to our own battle for woman at home.
Here in the old world, with its despOtic
governments, its utter plotting out of
woman rs an equal, there is little hope of
changing their condition; so | turn to
our own land, with its equality for man
and its partial equality for woman las the
only place for me to hope and work ill.,"
Those are strange words to be writ
ten from country whose women
have for centuries not only absolutely
ruled their own realm in the fields of
politics, diplomacy,li literature, tragedy,
song, art, fashion and love, but exert
cd an influence in all of those walks
to which the whole civilized world
bowed. Across the channel woman
has for forty years held the sceptre
and received the homage of the most
naughty and powerful Of nations a
nation that in retrospecting always
pauses proudly and lovingly at the
bright pages that recall the long
reign of Queen Elizabeth. Upon the
continent, Spain glories in the record
of her Isabella; Russia proudly names
her Catharine, and Austria enthuses
over the bright chapters history gives
to Maria Theresa.
Woman, where she possesses genius
or ability, is always power in the
old world, and even where she has
had nothing but the dangerous gift
of beauty to commend her, her sway
has ever been quite as despotic as she
willed to make it.
If however she has insisted upon
remaining in her own sphere, so
much the worse for Susan B.Anthony,
but so much the better for the women
of Europe and our own women of the
South.

In abiding to the grand jubilla-

Ingersoll's house on the night after
acquital, the Washington Star sensi-
bly, remarks:
The star route defendants, who have
escaped conviction through the benefits
of a doubt on the part of the jury
whether the chain of evidence fully es,
tablished conspiracy, show bad taste,
as well as a poor appreciation of the
opinion of the country upon the star
route frauds, by getting up public de.
monstrations and parading themselves
as heroes and conquerors.
Among other performances that

verdict was the throwing open of a

is to be decided as to whether you
can make money on cotton at eight

fate of corn crop in State where
corn can often be made when planted
as late as July, is in the hands of the
cotton planters-they can win or lose
almost at will.
A heavy corn crop here will force
the Western crop of corn into the
Western hogs, and make meat cheap
for those who look to the Western
smokehouses for their supply; and
cheap meat and home made corn
assure reasonable profit to the cot
ton planter in any ordinary season.

NOTED CHIEFS CAPTURD.


After the fight most of those who
escaped came in. Altogether 1888 pris
oners were taken. The chiefs cap.
tured were Chato, Bonto, Geronimo,
Nachez, Loco, and Mana. The two
latter long reported dead. The chiefs
say an American boy, six years old,
captured month ago in New Mexico
is with the squaws in the mountains.
He is no doubt Charles McComas.
Runners were sent out and he is ex>
pected in hourly. After the fight the
command marched leisurely back
to American soil,and the entire COM
mand, with prisoners, are now en-
camped on Silver Greek, about 60
miles south of Tombstone. Not one
of Crooks command was lost during
the campaign.
GEN. CROOK LIKELY TO GO BACK.
The courier states that the reason
Gen. Crook remains at Silver Greek
is that he waiting news from the Sec.
rotary of War as to what disposition
he shall make OF the Indians, as Mr..
Wilcox, the agent at San Carlos, re-
fused to receive them, and he (Gen,
Crook) will 60 back to the Sierra
Madres after the rest OF the hostiles if
they do not come.
PLENTY OF STOLEN MONEY.
In conversation with the courier
he stated the hostiles had plenty of
money. One old sqnaw, who was the
possessor of three bills, made inqui-
ry of some one at Col. Biddle's as to
the value of her possessions. Upon
being informed that the notes were
worth SIS each, she grunted, decided
not to negotiate, and pointed with
finger to naught after the figure s
on each note. Quite O number of the
bucks had silver stars and other or
naments, beaten out of Mexican doll
lars, on their head.gear, while sever>
al had American double eagles made
into necklaces. A rough estimate of
the amount of the wealth among them
is fully $4,000 and probably more.
The troops stated that the place
where the capture occurred is the
prettiest spot on earth, and the road
leading to it rougher than mortal
man ever trod. Large numbers Of
the hostiles seemed pleased with the
situation, evidently expecting an i'm
mediate return to the San Carlos res
ervation. The only complaint was
from the squaws, whose bucks we're
among those who made their escape.
GEN. CROOK OUTLAWS THE sAvAaRs.
The officers of the expedition sta.
ted that Gen. Crook had surrounded
the Indians before they were aware
Of his presence, and that if he had
not done so it would have taken six
months and all the men in Arizona to
have captured them.
