AND NOW WHAT OF BLAINE?

The Associated Press dispatches this
at last give to the public the
Substance of the story Of the private life
of BLAINE, vaguely limited at so often
of late, and the revelation of which was
threatened from the first, unless the
dirty charges against GOV. CLEvELAGD
were Withdrawn. Truly, the campaign
has reached the very lowest depth OF
personal abuse vt its very incipicncN
when both tho great can
didatcs for the Presidency are publicly
accused of that most derenseloss and de
testablc Of NIL crimes against society, Sc
duction.
But this charge against Mr. BLAINE
comes with douhiy crushing force, for
the honor and fair fame OF his wife and
children are involved. II cannot be
said to be campaign story purely, for
dark hints Of the affair have ll0ated upon
the universal and ever active current Of
rumor for years. 1t is terrible
accusation. If the Indianapolis Sentinel
can substantiatc its charges it will not
only consign the BLAINE family To ever
lasting obscurity, politically, but blast
the hitherto good name and social stand
ing of lady who has stood in the high
places af the land for long years.
If, on the other hand, MI. BLAINE shal
show that his wife ard himself have
been cruelty slandered by this charge, il
will not only win for them the homes
sympathy of the world, but place JAMES
G. BLAINE in the Presidential chair be
yond the peradventuro Of a doubt.
The indianapolis Sentinel is a reputa
BILE and powerful journal, and the pre-
sumption is that 1t would not dare
either in the ligh policy, or justice
or from financial standpoint, to pub
fish such adamning story against a can
didate for the Presidency, ms tina
he had seduccd his wife an,
. married her at the mouth q
, a shotgun, unless it was ii
r possession of facts to back up its asscr
$ ton. II is the most fearful charge tina
= could be levclcd against any liresd

ish malice that reputable, re
sponsibc journals never indulg
r in. The presumption, then, ut til

said the Mormons have been
laboring in Lewis county five
years, and until last Sunday had not
met with any serious difficulty, nor had
any charges of improperly been made
against them by the citizens. When
asked what action would be
taken i'm regard to Furnishing

would be left entirely with the county

them in the prosecution only as wit

county would do all they could to bring

WE learn from the New York World
at the Congregational church, Washing
ton, in the interest of the bill now pend
ing in the Senate for the education of the
negroes and the Indians. Chief-Justice
Waite presided. Fred Douglass was also
present There was general discussion
of the desirability OF having a large fund
for the education of the two races, in
the midst of which a sensation was made
by a colored man from Alabama, who
protested against the idea involved in the
for the negroes was government aid; that
the Northern people did not understand
the negroes, and that their well-meant in
reference in their behalf at the pres
ent time was doing more harm
than good. "Let the negro stand
alone" he said; 'let him take care
of himself" In his own State OF Alabama,
the speaker stated, the local government
gave all the aid that was necessary to
colored schools. His own school was a
fiourishina one, and a number of its
graduates were to-day holding positions
in private business houses, where they
had white men under them. A number
OF those subordinates had held slaves
during the war. He closed his speech by
saying that the North had done enough
for the negro, and that his true friends
would leave him to work out his own
fortunes. Greatly to the surprise of every
one, Fred Douglass agreed with all that
the speaker had said. The colored man
thus so bold for the truth is president OF
tlourishing negro training school in
Alabama, and therefore speaks of his own
knowledge. He agrees with the APPEAL
that the best thing to do for the negro is
to let him alone. He will work out his
own salvation.

THE HOUSTON DRILL.
The Chickasaw Guards Meet and Find
They Cannot Enter.

The Chickasaw Guards met at their
armory last night, and after some debate
concluded not to go to Houston, Tex. to
join in the drill to take place there next
May, and where prize of 5000 will be
given. The members of the company are
so much engaged in their business that
team could not be made up.
TIE following commands will participate
in the drill: The Washington Light In
fantry, from Washington, d. c.; Mobile
Rifles, Mobile, Ala; Montgomery Greys,
Louis Light Artillery; the Busch Zouaves,
Tredway Rifles and Balm Zouaves, of st.
Louis; Battery B and Battery G of the
Louisiana Field Artillery; Richmond
Greys, Norfolk Light Infantry and the fol-
lowing Texas organizations: Washington
Guards, Galveston; Palestine Rifles,
Austin Greys, Johnston Guards, Hemp
stead; Orange Rifles, Austin; Clebulne
Guards, Queen City Guards, Dallas; the
Navasota Guards aud the Brennan Greys.

local prizes.
The Busch Zouaves, company l., First
Regiment, two sections of Battery A., St.
Louis Light Artillery, attached to the
company D., Third Regiment, have de-
cided to go to Houston, and this number
is likely to be increased by the addition of
the Balm Zouaves and Branch Guards,
company g., Third Regiment.
1t is stated that two companies from
Mexico will be in attendance and give an
exhibition dill. The programme for the
drill will be prepared by officers at West
Point, and judges will be detailed from
the army by the War Department, the
character of the men having the epcamp-
ment in charge, who are leading citizens
and business men of Houston, insuring
fair play and an impartial awarding OF
prizes. 1t is said it will be one of the
largest exhibition drills ever given in the
SOuth
