ANOTHER NEGRO committed murder il

ANOTHER NEGRO committed murder in
Washington last night. The frequent and
terrible crimes perpetrated by the negro
population of the federal capital, where
many Northern people reside, are slowly
but surely awakening those people to the
knowledge of the fact that the negroes are
not blackened angels, as they have be n
taught to believe.

THE EDITOR of the New York Sun, whose
present utterances against Governor Cleve'
land are 80 extensively quoted by the
Blaineite press, said, after Blaine was nomi'
mated, that before he would do any thing
to help his election he would throw away
his pen and seek some other means OF en-
ployment. And yet this identical MIR. Dana
is now using his pen for all it is worth to
elect the very man of whom only two
months ago he entertained such an opinion
that rather than support him he would
abandon his profession. If national cleo
tons were carried by intelligence and pa
triotism, instead of by whims, prejudice, Sec
tionalsm and money, it would be impossible
for the words of a man subject to such sud
den and radical changes as Mr.. Dana is to
have any influence with sensible voters.

The MEMBERS of the Malone delegation
in the present Congress have given the 9th
er members of that body pretty correct
;aoo nf thc oha ractar nf tho marty which
sent them there, but if the whole of the
Generals congressional ticket now in the
field be elected the revolution in the State
will be complete and the congressman from
the other States will join with the reputable
white people of Virginia in deploring the
low condition the once proud old State
will have reached. OF course there is no
danger of any such terrible contingency,
but if all the Generals congressional can
dldates be elected the country would no
longer be in doubt concerning the charac
ter of the men who support Mahoneism,
