The hotel builders are not letting their

Governor BIoNham.

Ii seems that Governor BlOXham, OF
Florida, is not a candidate for renomi-
nation. Those who pretend to speak for
him say he intends to retire from active
politics for awhile. This determination
will undoubtedly be regretted by his
friends. His administration has been
very successful, and history will place
him in the front rank of FlOrida's
Governors. He is liberal and progressive
in his views. and since he has been Gov
ernor his chief aim has been to advance
the interests OF his State. How success
full he has been the growth Of Florida in
material wealth and population abun-
dainty shows. He has advocated and
approved all measures which tended to
invite capital and immigrants, and by
interviews and publications of one kind
and another has done his full share
towards advertising abroad the States
advantages. No doubt there are other
men in the State who are able to fill the
place of Chief Executive as efficiently, but
it is doubtful if one will be found who
will serve the people more faithfully and
intelligently. Governor BlOXham is yet
in the prime Of his mental and physical
yigOr. and the record he has made will
undoubtedly open the way to other pOliti-
cal hOnOrs. Whether his ambition is
satisfied or not we do not know, but when
Florida discovers who her ablest and best
men are she will do well to secure and re-
tain their services.

The REPUTATION of Mahone's Charges


Those who read the report of the Com
mittee Of 80. appointed to investigate the
Danville riot, published yesterday, did
not have their respect increased for Ma
hone. In his address, published last Mon
DAY, he charged that at Danville the De-
m0crats precipitated a race conflict, and
shot down defenseless negroes for pOliti-
| cal purposes. He went further and
charged that negroes had been murdered
all over the state in order to terrOrize the
negro voters and keep them away from
the polls. The report of the Committee
Of 40 shows beyond controversy that the
Danville affair was unprecedented, and
that the Malone leaders were responsible
for it, One Of them a few days previous
had made an inflammatOry speech to the
negroes and had encouraged them to as
sumo an ins0Ient and threatening attitude
towards the white people. The negroes
began the difficulty which resulted in
the riot. The finding Of the committee
wiz hardly he contradicted. \ large
number of witnesses was examined and
their testimony was not contradictory.
The Danville people acted wisely in max
Ing the investigation. The false impress
sion created by MahOne's address is cor
rected, and the slandered people Of Vir
ginia are vindicated. Malone must have
more than the ordinary amount of as
surance to hold up his head in the town
of Petersburg. his home, or anywhere
else in Virginia. His address
may have given him little
temporary satisfaction, but its charges
were so generally disbelieved, even by
Republicans. and their REPUTATION was so
swift and complete, that it is probable
that he regrets that he ever gave the doe
ument to the public. If there was any
doubt before that his political career in
Virginia was ended that address removed

senator BIairss Committee and the
Negroes.

senator Blair's labor committee are
gathering a good deal Of information
about our industries, factory operatives,
farm laborers. schools, condition Of the
NEGROES and other matters. The commit
tee seem 20 have been very favorablY I'M
pressed with what they saw and heard at
Columbus. Senator Blair probably got
some new ideas respecting the treatment
OF NEGROES from the testimony oil the ne
yro witnesses. They were all men ABOVE
the average intelligence Of their race, and
,ad evidently had ample opportunl-
,tirs for observation. These witnesses
were preachers. biacksmiths, carpenters
and rainters. They were unanimous on
TWO points. one was that the national
government ought to aid their schools,
and the other was that they had no reason
u complain Of the treatment they received
from the white people. The carpenters
hlacksmiths and painters said that they
stood upon the same plane with white
men Of their calling. and that they re-
ceiVed the same wages and were as readily
given contracts for work. There was alb
solutelv no discrimination against them.
They had steady work at good pay, ana
they had accumulated a little property.
one Of them said that when he
dabbled i'm politics he didn't get
along so well. but that since he gave his
whole attention TO his business he had no
reason 10 complain of anybody or any
thing. some Of the witnesses thought
that there was some discrimination
against negroes in the courts in criminal
cases. but not in civil cases. The dispo-
sition was TO show very little leniency for
petty offenses. Evidently senator Blair
does not ind the condition of the negroes
Of Georgia SO bad as, perhaps, he has been
led TO believe. The Columbus witnesses
no doubt testified Just as they felt and
thought. They have no reason
able grounds for complaint. What
is true with respect to the
condition of the negroes Of Columbus is
true asTo the negroes in other parts of the
state. Where they are thrifty and honest
they prosper. The white people treat
them kindly and are ready to lend them a
helping hand whenever they need help.
/ The negroes who have complaints TO
make. and who are low down in the scale
OF morality. are lazy. thriftless and worth
less. Too many OF them are of that kind.
I They do not deserve good treatment.
I They are a burden TO the community in
which they live They are little
better than Migrants. 1t is not to
I be wondered at that they find
little mercy in the courts. Fewer Of them
/ than there ought to be are sent to work in
/ the chain-gangs and convict camps. 1t
I is a pity that Senator Blair cannot be
/ shown the worst as well as the best side
7 Of the negro. Before he and his commit
/ tee get out Of Georgia. however, ne will
I probably be satisfied that the negroes
/ who are good citizens are cOntented,
happy and prosperous, and that worth
/ less, complaining negroes are treated
