The prohibition candidate for Mayor
Of Brooklyn, Just prior 10 tho election,
thus defined the purpose of his party:

for men to carp and query ~ to The
wisdom of that legislation Of the ks-

it, and will hold to it and the sslf-pro-

extension of the ballot 10 the coiored
race was a measure of the Republican
party enacted for the sole purpose OF
sustaining itself in the South. Even
were this true, the fact would remain
that it was an act of justice. But who
ever is familiar with the history Of the
years succeeding the war will not fan To
recognize the fact that beyond and
above any question of party policy the
act was made necessary by the treat
A1nsut accorded to the negro Ia the
Southern States. No sooner vas tne
var ended and had reconstruction be-
gun, than legislation, which practically
nullifed the emancipation proclamation
and virtually re-ensIayed the colored
ueople, was enacted in several Southern
States. Notably in Mississippi and
South Carolina vagrans laws were passed

Men were upon trial and conviction OF
petty offenses fined heavily, and Ia do

fines. These and similar measures were
so oppressive in their nature that from
all over the land came q demand for
protection to tho recently manunitted

remedy. With that in his hand the

A NEGRO RUFFIAN
Beaten to Death by Some Unknown Per-
sous, and the Flesh Eaten from
His Bones.
Regular Correspondence of the Appeal

Regular Correspondence of the Appeal
WooDvILLE, Tenn, September 6.-The
neighborhood south OF here, about three
miles, was stirred to-day on finding out
that the bones of man had. been found
in the woods. A gentleman out hunting
came across bones scattered among the
bushes, and found also satchel and bun
die of clothes sprinkled with blood, a shot
gun and other things. Thorough exami-
nation was made, and the clothes were
identified as those of Toni Nelson, negro
desperate. The flesh was all off the bones,
and from all indications he had been dead
two weeks. About two weeks ago this
same negro beat his wife severely, and
took the clothes mentioned above and
started off, and said he was "gone for
good" He also had attempted to poison
his family by putting Rough on Rats" in
the meal in the house and in the water
4 package OF "Rough on Rats was found
in his pocket His forehead was entirely
wanting, and it is supposed that he was
knocked in the head. One theory is that
he poisoned himself and the fractures were
made by hogs eating his head. This hardly
could be 50. Officers had been hunting
for the negro TO arrest him, but never
could find find him, and the discovery
made to-day solved the reason that he
could not be found. He certainly was
killed on the very night he committed his
outrageous crime of wife-beating and at
tempt at poisoning. =

AsTOR's WEALTH.
The Immense Estate Decided TO John
Jacobs Only Son.

New YORK, September Sit was an
nounced in legal circles to-day that John
Jacob Astor had decided all his property
to his only son, William Waldorf, now
Minister to Rome. 1t created profound
sensation, and old lawyers; declared it an
other movement of the Astors not to per-
NIT the value of the immense estate to be
publicly known. John is now an old man !;
and the story is that the deeds are not to
be recorded until after the death of John
Jacob. William w. receives everything
subject to a pension of 100000 per an
mum to his father during life Two objects
are said to be accomplished; the estate will
not be divided among different heirs.
Secondly, no litigation oyera will can ever
come into court by which the value of
the estate would be discovered. There are
unquestionably other branches OF the fam
lily, which, if will leaving all to one son
were made, might enter contest 1t has
always been an idea of John Jacob to
practically entail his property and have
the estate to descend intact from genera
ton to generation, as in England. The
present John Jacob Astor's father died
thirty-fiye years ago, At that time the
estate was worth about $50, ,000, 600 or SAC, :
100000, mainly unproductive. It's value
is now about S70,0O0,000,
