Bourbon Methods and Broken PromlsOs.

Bourbon Methods and Broken Promises.
Nothing is moro, certain than that a solid
south-made solid by ostracsm, intimidation,
and murder-will be met by a solid north.
For years prior to the Hayes administration
the cry came up from the southern states to
the effect that If the federal gov
ernment would withdraw its protection
from the people of the south, who honestly
believed they were being deprived of their
political rights, then the southern democratic
leaders would see to it that every man, white
or black, should be protected in his political
rights, and that no other than peaceful means
should be resorted to in all political contests.
This appeal was finally met by President
Hayes's disgraceful surrender of two state gov
ernments, and by such surrender his own title
to the great office he held became clouded.
IL is not necessary to discuss here that
cowardly surrender, which made the south
solid. Since then democratic managers
have taken good care to keep it solid,
and they have stopped short of no
outrage. There is not single sensible man
in this country who does not know that
in three or four southern states there is
an undoubted republican majority, and
in two of them majorities of many
thousands, but by outrages tho most
fragrant these states are mado to
return democratic majorities. And this is
not all. In every case where native south
ern man who had become DISCUS ted with the
methods of tho bourbons and revolted or
showed o disposition to act with the repubi-
cans or even independently, he has been per-
secuted with fiendishness and cruelty that
would disgrace the most uncivilized Indian.
1t needed but this latest Virginia massacre
to open the eyes of the people of the north
and convince them of the utter absurdity of
putting faith in the promises of the southern
people in regard to any matter involving tho
political status of that section of country. 1t
is their deliberate intention to keep the south
solid, and unless the government can protect
the people in the enjoyment of all their po-
| litical rights, which it seems powerless to do,
there is little prospect of change for the

THE MERRY DUCHESS"
"Tho Merry Duchess" at tho National last
night was decided improvement on the pre-.
vious nights The machinery of the opera
is now working very smoothly, while tho
suggestions of the critics in other respects
have been adopted. Some recitative, whose
main effect was TO clog tho action, has
been wisely cut, and judicious pruning
of purely local English "hits" had
the result of presenting worry ac-
ceptable performance. The opera is
satire upon the "jockty craze lately pfeva-
lent in England, and is we'll executed The
music is light and pleasing, although it is not
likely tnat the repertoire of street songswill
be largely recruited therefrom. The police
mons quartette and tho tiger chorus" at the
close of tho last act arc taking and deserve
popularity. Tho costuming is at once tasteful
and correct. The company numbers flfty-ono,
and has been drilled so well that
at last nights performance the action
was easy, graceful, and satisfactory general
absence of awkwardness being noticeable
and gratifying feature. Tho leading parts
are Miss Francesca Guthrie as the Duchess of
EPSON Downs, Mr.. George w. Donham as
Brabazon Sykes, Mr.. John f. Nash rs
Freddy Bowman, who is evidently in
tended as a satire on Archer, the famous
English jockey Mr. II. ROLAND as Lord
Johnnie, Miss Sophia Hummel as Doro-
thea Brown, and Miss Louise Lester as
Rowena. Miss Guthrie both acts and sings
we'll. Her voice, without possessing much
range or magnetism, is yet sweet aud pleasant.
Her rendering of the waltz song in the first
ct 10 No I sriy ..ytE oI
mirable effect Mr.. Nash sings fairly, and,
barring q little stiffness, his acting is credit
able. Mr.. @. L. Lang as Capt. Walker has q
very pleasant voice, sweet and resonant,
and both sang and acted capitally. Mr.. Den
ham is born comedian, and proved very
acceptable. Mr.. ROLAND ms Lord Johnnie
was decided success. His pcrsonation of
the typical dude was admirable both in con-
ception and performance. His rendition of
tho cha racter was decidedly artistic. Miss
Hummel has a sweet agreeable voice, which
she managed well, and her acting was fea-
ture of the opera. Miss Lester as Rowena
was really the central figure, decidedly
strong and satisfactory. The chorus is an
effective one, numbering some thirty-fvo
voices. The novelty features of the opera. the
human pyramid" of Mr.. Prince, and the won
derful india rubber capers of tho Lorellas, are
equal, if not superior; to anything of the
kind evor seen on the stage.
The tiger chorus" an octettc of boys cos
tuned as English "tigers," was very we'll sung,
meriting special praise. The Spanish dance
of Sykes and Rowena was dcservedly en-
cored, and the rescue of Freddy Bowman
and the excitement of the crowd over the
race were capital bits Of realism.
The Merry Duchess will be seen every night
this week and Saturday matinee.

News from Lieut.. Hnrber,

The acting secretary of the navy yesterday
received letter from Lieut.. HARDER, who is
charged with transporting to the United
States the remains of Lieut.. Com. DO Long
and party, of the ill-fated Jeanette. The
letter is dated Yakutsk, Aug. "a 1883, and
informs the department that Lieut.. Harber
returned to that place after forwarding mate
rials for temporary caskets, and drawing
1000 roubes from the United States minister
at st. Petersburg TO deiray expenses.
Lieut. Harber also says that he
found that after his departure from

navy and spoon, both found on the route
taken by Lieut.. Com. De Long, were brought

Kitach and forwarded to Gov. ChernaiiI, who
turned them over to Lieut.. Harber as it is
evident they were lost by De Longs party.
Lieut. Harber's letter concludes as follows !:
"Aneguin having died from contagious
disease, his body cannot, Of course, be brought
home. On my way north l stopped at Kirn-
sck, visited his grave, and left instructions

GOV. Butler,s Dolngs.

At o'clock this afternoon Gov. Benjamin
f. Butler will argue before tho referees the
important question of the responsibility of
tho District of Columbia for the payment of
work ordered by the board of public works
on private property in the vicinity of the
market house in Georgetown. Tho case is
that of Strong vs. the District of Columbia.
About 100000 is involved in the principle at
issue in this case
The work was done ten years ago, and the
claims were among the unsettled accounts of
the board of public works when that body
was legisated out of existence in 1874. Their
settlement was resisted by the new district
engineer, and Col. Strong brought suit in the
courts. The cases dragged along through
the vigorous resistance of the attorneys for
tho district, and about six months ago it
was agreed TO submit the matter to arb-
tration. An immense mass of testimony has
been taken by the referees, and now they
will hear arguments. Gov Butler has been
the leading counsel of Col Strong during all
his litigation.
During his stay in the city the governor
will present to the supreme court of the
United States tho petition of John Hitz for
an order commanding the supreme court OF
the district to certify up tho indictments
pending in that court. There are thirty
nine of these indictments in all. based on Mr.
Hitz's connection with tho German National

BuLlpozEp VIRGINIA.
What tho Colored People Lose by
Mahone's Defeat.
Cgorcidnd Loudcr

Cyorcidnd Lcuder.
Chief among the causes which led
Mahone's defeat in Virginia was the intim-
idation of the negro voters. The democrats
entered the canvass.with the cry, "Down with
the niggors," and the result shows that this
party shibboleth produced the desired effect.
1t brought about tho Danville outrage in
which six inofTensivo negroes were massacred
in cold blood. This fendsh act, deliberately
conoocted produced tho intended effect 1t
set on foot a reign of terror throughout
the state, and the colored voters avoided the
polls as they would smallpox hospital.
As consequence the Malone vote in
some counties fell off so per cent, while
in others bribery and fraud completed the
work. Malone himself says that fraud,
intimidation, and tho corrupt use of money"
gave the bonrbons their victory. Nor was
Mahono supported rs he should have been.
Certain republicans, led by ex-Congressman
Dezendorf anxious only for their own inhu-
ence at Washington, threw cold water on his
canvass aud did what they could to cripple
his efforts TO hold the state in line against
tho negotiating bourbons. IL requires no
very acute mind TO measure the result of
this disaster to Mahones coalition party.
The rights and privileges secured to the
colored population of Virginia through
them. The blacks will again be hampered
in their efforts to secure education for their
children and in every way their civil rights
will be crcumscrbed The door to public
Office opened by Malone will now be closed
and barred against colored citizens. The old
bulldozing order of affairs will be restored,
and the blacks will either be obliged to fight
for their rights and their lives or subside
into helpless submissiveness. In tho latter
case they will be treated like draft horses and
street car mules-"as creatures to be driven
and guided,by kindness, ifpossible, by the lash,
If necessary, but driven in harness always"
Their lives will count for naught, and their
slaughter on tho slightest provocation will
will weigh no heavier on the bourbon con-
science than if they were so many dogs.
Still another result growing out of Mahono's
defeat is the restoration of solid south. So
long as Virginia could be held secure against
the bourbons there was hope of liberalizing
other southern states. For the time being,
at least, that prospect is lost With tho legis-
lature and state machinery in the hands of
the bourbon democracy there can be no hope
of adding Virginia to the list of republican
states next year, or ut any time in the near
future.

the eir commands on the frontier are from the
eastern and middle states, and that they only
enlist in order to obtain transportation to the
far west. He adds that the reasons they
assign for deserting, viz, insufficient and
poor food, unnecessary exposure, and debasing
drudgery, will not hold water, Humani-
tarians who have worked themselves up in
the belief that the soldier was treated barbar-
ously may conclude to look at the other side

Seven candidates and one Vote.

The forvent heat of the contest for offices
in the next house was well illustrated at the
Riggs house last night Seven candidates for
office, six newspaper correspondents and one
poor single congressman with vote, were
gathered there. After the mass had struggled
together for q time the six newspaper corre-
spondents filed out one by one to send to their
respective papers accurate column reports of
the relative strength of each candidate. Phil
Thompson. of Kentucky, was the ono con-
gresham with n vote, and within an hour
those correspondents had divided him up into
states and separated his Mississippi, his Ohio,
into unequaled parts and labeled them Gar
Isle" and Randall" The only possible sal
walton for poor Congressman Thompson and
his vote is speedy influx OF other statesmen
with votes The situation-and Thompson
are now much strained. There is overmuch
candidate for the size of the voto present.

Action OF Postmaster Congcr in Reference

Mails.
Postmaster Conger recently called the at
tenton of General Superintendent Thompson
of the railway mail service to the proposed
change of time by railroads throughout the
country, and asked for authority to adopt the
railroad standard without awaiting the action
of congress in the matter, stating that in his
opinion the change would be absolutely nee
essary; to which Mr.. Thompson replied as
follows:
think it important that the meridian standard
lime be adopted ut once. l am clearly of the
opinion that the standard used by the railways
should be adopted, and most earnestly and re-
spectfully urge 1t. Such uniform time Will greatly
simplify the dispatch Of mail matter to the differ
ent roads
In pursuance of this order Postmaster Con-
ger has issued instructions which will make
the local time of the arrival and departure of
mails at the Washington city postofiice and
branch stations correspond with the standard
time, which.will be about eight minutes faster
than Washington local time. This change

UP in New York Mr.. Dana occasionally re-
marks, in peaceful and quiet way, that
"the republican party must 60" meaning
thereby that at some future time it will
probably have to make way for some other
party. But down in Virginia the members
of Mr.. Dana's party have begun to assert that
the republican party must go right away,
and, in order that there may be no mis-
understanding about it, they are beginning
tosingle out members of the party, serve notice
on them, and fix the time of going and the
penalty of disobeying the order. Notice of
this kind was served on Judge r. f. Mays,
of Batetourt county, a few days since, This

A Question OF vIetunl Interest.

Tho American Humane association is get
ting ready to intercede with congress for the
protection of the cattle of tho plains. The
society has been looking into the matter, and
the conclusion reached is that cattle are sub
jeCted to unnecessary and barbarous torture
when they are branded, and that they are
made to suffer horribly whilo en- route from
the grazing grounds to the eastern markets.
1t has also been officially ascortained that
they arc lacerated dreadfully by barbed wire
fences, and legislation will probably bo
asked for the abatement of that evil.
1t is not believed, however, that tho society
will go to the length of insisting upon the
establishment of universities to instruct the
bovine population of the ranges in the art Of
avoiding the cruel barbs. Such step would
involve the expenditure of too much money
and the experiment would doubtless end in
failure anyway, for nothing short of the
forcible and repeated removal of sections of
it is easier to crawl under or jump over
barbed wirc fence than to wade through it.
Clearly. then, the university scheme is i'm
practicable.
But, seriously, congress ought to pay some
attention to this subject. About million of
beef cattle are shipped from points west of
annually, and it is of the highest Importance
that they arrive in good condition. They
cannot reach the great markets of the Allan
tic seaboard states in good condition if they
are starved, overheated, or subjected to
brutal treatment. There are already
laws of congress for tho protection
tions are observed as general thing; but II
additional safeguards can be suggested for
tho protection of the people who eat the
meat, as well as for the stock "on the hoof,"
as the cattle men describe it, it is the duty of
congress to enact the necessary laws. The
stomachs of tens and thousands Of able-bodied
voters arc difectly concerned.
1t is possible that the barbed wire fence
and branding evils will regulate themselves
Owners of stock are not going to ieopardize
their own interests or damage their own
property any more than can be helped, and
when something better than branding or
barbed fencing is offered then they will be
quick to make the change in The interest of
humanity and their bank accounts jointly.
