bourbon Desperation In Virginia.

A meeting of colored people held in Bir-
mingham, Ala, on Saturday was presided over
by j. Ii. Welch, who wisely advocated the
cultivation of more friendly relations with
the whites of the south. He said he believed
that tho southern people, without regard to
party lines, would provo a last refuge of the
colored people, and would help them to reach
higher and nobler manhood. This is the
right kind of advice, The condition of tho
colored people in the south must finally de-
pend upon the general opinion and temper
toward thom of the white people of that Sec
tion. The native white southerners have a
great and difficult task before them,
for they have not only to raise the
standard Of intelligence among the blacks,
but they havO to civilize great numbers ol

The SsO3.170.37 Job.

Tho above are the exact figures taken from
the treasury by tho job which Rcformcr
Charles Emory Smith, of the Philadelphia
FreSs originated and carried through. His
paper was the principal sharer in tho grab.
Mr.. Smith, after six weeks silence now claims
that it was in the interest OF increased postal
facilities. This is the same answer made by
tho participants in 1.-THE star route con-
spiracy" Mr.. Smith now says he is willing
to have the whole matter investigated.
When he prints in his paper copy of his
letter addressed to any member of the next
PUBLICAN will believe he is in earnest His
talk about the suppression of records and
documents is baby talk. Congress has power,
not only to get the papers, but also the state
ments under oath of the officers knowing all
the facts.
Eight hundred and three thousand four
hundred and seventy-nine dollars and thirty
seven cents is big grab. We hope good
Mr.. Smith will bo able with the aid of a
congressional committee to explain it away
to the satisfaction of honest people.

ARTHUR b. JOHNSON. whose suicide at
Utica, N. Y, on Saturday startled and
shocked tho residents of that city, was
noble gentleman esteemed and be-
loved by friends and respected by
all. He was q man of great refinement
and cultivation and strong character
He was not ambitious for place, and did not
seek political .honors, but he was republican
of the school that might be called thorough,
and his influence in the councils of the party
was very considerable. He was man of
ample fortune, and it was his pleasure for
some years to participate in the political
struggles of Now York. In these he was con-
spicuous for his fidelity to his fellow-towns-
men and friend, Roscoe Conkling. The man
ifestations of grief at his untmely end, and
ofsympathy with his family arc sufficient evil
dence of the great esteem in which no was held.
While he lived no word was ever uttered
against his private character; but immedi-
ately after, and on the day of his tragic death,
some human jackal supplied suudry news
papers with material for special dispatches
containing the grossest assaults upon him.
They will not affect the good name of the
dead man, because no one will believe them
but they will lacerate tho already bleeding
hearts of his stricken family. They are
doubtless the inventions of some mean enemy
whose fear of him while living gave way tc
an impulse of Joy at being safe to slander him

MEMPHIS, TENN, Nov "a large meeting OF
prominent colored citizens held last night adopted
resolutions expressing regret at the decision of the
supreme court in the civil right case, aud asking
the people ofthe late to join in petitioning the
Legislature TO repeal all It's acts d7ains,

ing social and civil rights and in favoring the en.
couragement ofcolored people in habits OF economy
and intellectual culture. They also compliment
Judge Harlan. Addresses were made by Con-
gresham Casey Young and others.
So reads dispatch in Sunday paper.
And so it would appear that there are on the
statute book of Tennessee "acts discriminate
ing against the colored people," If this be
true, then the supreme court will, upon its
own reasoning, be compelled to decide the
civil rights act constitutional whenever a
case comes before it in which one of those
recent opinion held that civil rights could
not be protected by congressional legislation
unless first assailed by a state, either
through an act of its legislature or the
acts of individuals sanctioned by customs
having the force of law. The supreme court
is prepared, as wo read its decision
to declare the civil rights act constitutional
and operative whenever case is brought be-
fore it in which it is made to appear that any
state, either by act of its legislature or by
acts of an individual, based on custom hay.
ing the force of law has since the adoption
of the fourteenth amendment, made any law,

Scranton (Pd) Republican,
The most conspicuous of the Smithses just now
is the editor of the Philadelphia Press in conse-
quence of his bold onslaught upon First Assistant
Postmaster General Frank Hatton Smith is q
good name TO cover q chameleon career 1t is so
numerous patronymic that under IL an indi-
vidual can be ring machue salwart in New
York and a blatant independent in Pennsylvania.
AS editor of the Albany Evening Journal Smith
was the close friend of Conkling and defended all
his methods AS the employe Of Calvin Wells. of
Pittsburgh, who owns the Press, Smith caters to
the visionary ambition of his rich and cranky pa
tron and poses before the Republicans of Penn
sylvania as purist a regenerated leader, an
apostle of reform. What Moses has carpet
bagged among the Pennsylvania Dutch" from
the atmosphere and training of Albany!
Smith is struggling to shield himself from Hat
| toms xposures by q storm of verbiage bluster,
and petty cunning, while ringing the changes on
| Hatton must CO." Tho audGcty of this Moses
| from among the Smithses is so monumental that
| it appears convincing to many unacquainted with
tho facts 1t has long been au open secret in
| Washington that Charles Emory Smith, of the
Philadelphia Press prevailed upon James, when
postmaster general, to order reweighing of the
| mails upon the Pennsylvania Railroad company's
system of lines in return for tho expense incurred
| in running an early fast newspaper train from
| Philadelphia to Harrisburg for the distribution of
the Philadelphia dailies, notably the Press and
| Times The early hour fixed for its departure pre-
cluded any advantage to the road from passenger
! traffic. and as IL had no connections beyond Har-
| rlsburg it was not needed for mail purposes
Smith wanted the train for his paper, and finally
succeeded, after spending much time and effort in
Washington, to get 1t at the expense of the
government. If the true inwardness of Post
master General James were reached az that of this
| journalistic Smith is likely to be, the country
! would be amazed to learn how rotten and bogus
| a refUrmcr and how much of real fraud he was.
| His conuslon with Smith necessitated a rcweigh-
| ing of mails upon all the trunk lines and an In
crease in compensation for carrying them over
contracts then existing Of nearly II million dol
lars For this Mr.. Hatton's Washington REPUBII-
CAN arraigns MrF Smith and the Philadelphia
Press, and in return the latter demands of the
postmaster general and the President the scalp OF
the first assistant
Mr. Smith will find that Mr., Hatton does not
scare easily; that he will not shirk responsibility
nor sniyel over consequences. Mr. Smith may as
well accept the inevitable. the country will re-
aze TOO soon for him that in this matter attOn Is
right aud Smith is wrong Goody-goody James
also will come In for pluck'ng of much of his
false plumage. For an absolute nonenty James

which was not intended for Danvilo con-
sumption, but only to excite passion and
prejudice in far Off counties. brought forth its
legitimate and logical fruits on Saturday last
in tho riot at Danville, precipitated by bour-
bons and followed by fatal shots on both sides.
The particulars of the revolving affair will be
found in another column. 1t is new evidence
of the desperation with which portion of
the white people of the south are determined
upon denying political rights to the negro,
and the ferocity with which the bourbons
wage war on all Independent native white

WHEN
CROOKS APACHEs.
Texas Man Who Says the Hostiles Die
tated the Terms in the Negotiations.

Dallas (Tex0 Special
State Senator Barnett Gibbs, of Dallas. re-
turned last night from an extended trip to
Mexico. In a long interview in the Daily
Times he says he was surprised at what he
discovered concerning the late Indian CAM
paign in the Southwest; that he went into
the valleys and country which was lately
overrun by the Apaches, and which was the
scene of General Crooks late exploits. He
says the residents laugh at the newspaper ac-
counts of the captives made by that warrior.
They say that instead of Crook capturing the
fighting Indians they captured him. He
did take few old Indians and squaws, and
started to leave the mountains with them,
but the bucks, about eighty in
number, followed and overlook him. and
sent in a messenger, who asked for pow
WOW. This was granted and the warriors
came in and in the boldest manner told him
that he would be allowed TO leave only on
condition that he would promise to get the
government to permit them to return to the
reservation without punishment and with
other like provisions. This he promised be.
cause he couldn't help himself. The resi-
dents of the valley say that the White noun
tain Apaehes who were guides with Crook
during the pow-wow divided ammunition with
the hoStles. The latter told Crook that
some of their men -are without horses and
md as soon as they could go down into the
Mexican settlements and get horses they
would follow him into the reservation. They
lld this killing several Mexcans in their Quest
of horses. The valley folks say that the White
mountain Apaches were openly in commune
cation with the hostiles, and would never
fight them. AS an illustration of the friend
illness between the two one of the White
mountain Apaches appeared among the
soldiers with the watch of Judge McComas
who had been killed by the hostiles. Being
INTERCEPTED as to where he obtained the
watch he said he got it from squaw. The
son of the Judge had to pay $50 for the
watch, Crook not daring to disturb the
friendly relations with the White mountain
Apaches by making him give it up.
Senator Gibbs says this is only sample of
/ volumes of unwritten history of the late
campaign that could be furnished, and that
I tie public have been imposed upon and
kiow absolutely nothing of its real true in
Wardness
