Parody on oGThe Tempest.o

We were crowded in the shanty,
For we had not room 10 sleep,
1t was midnight on the prairie
And the storm was loud and deep,
'Tis a sad thing in Dakota
To be minded Of the past,
And to hear the rafting tempest
Thunder 'How is that for fast"
So we all sat there in silence .
For the stoutest blew his nose,
While the blizzard wrecked the shanty
And we warmed our frozen toes.
And while thus we sat in carkness,
Each one busy twisting hay,
SIN Dakota" yelled the captain,
"'Tis the last year / will stay"
But his better nature whispered
As he took his pipe in hand,
"Just have courage, take a smoke, boys,
'Tis as good as any land"
Then we all obeyed his order
And we gave three rousing cheers
When the captain said dakota
Is my home for many years."

that serious error had been discovered
in the returns OF Richmond county, New

it was rumored that the State might vet
be counted against Cleveland. A subse-
quent dispatch explained that the error
was merely clerical. and had been cor
rected with the unanimous consent OF the
Board, thus assuring the vote OF the State
for Cleveland The following dispatch
announces the final action of the Board :

1t is astonishing how little the election
of Cleveland has excited the negro popu-
lation of the South. In 1872 or 1876 the
Inauguration of Democratic President
would undoubtedly have caused consid-
cradle agitation among them and greatly
alarmed them. To-day, with the expert
ence of Democratic rule in most of the
Southern States, the negroes feel that they
can fully trust the Democracy, and that
they have nothing to fear from it
The Georgia Constitution, the Memphis
appeal and other Southern papers have
been doing good service by showing the
negroes that the election of Cleveland
does not in any way imperil the rights
conferred upon them by the Constitution
and the law, and that they will be as safe
as when Republican President sat in the
White House
These assurances seem to have been sat
istactory aud sufficient to the colored peo-
pie throughout the South, except in GER
tain portions of Missouri. In LAFAYETTE
county, in that State and vicinity, certain
Republicans have been amusing them
selves telling the negroes that Democratic
success would be followed by the re-estab-
llshment of slavery. This caused intense
excitement, and there was talk for awhile
OF an Instruction. SO threatening dld the
situation become that the white citizens of
Higglnsville found it necessary to call a
mass meeting and adopt resolutions prom
islng the negroes the protection of their
legal rights, liberties and privileges. This
quieted the movement in Lafayette, but
IN several OF the neighboring counties a
feeling OF uneaslness prevails, and many
of the negroes talk of emigrating to Kan
sas.
With this exception the negroes are
perfectly calm and free from any alarm at
the approaching transfer of the govern
ment into Democratic hands. They ap-
preciate the fact that since the Democrats
have been in control of the State 90 vern-
ments of the South their prosperity has in
creased, and their lives, property and
rights have been far better protected than
in the days of Republican rule

found their way into print as to the resig-
nation of the Judges OF the Supreme
Court OF Florida. 1t is true that Chief
Justice Randall has expressed the inten-
ton of resigning, and will probably do
SO at an early day: but the statement
that Judge Westcot; will probably retire
at the same time that Judge Randall
does is incorrect, though he may resign
at some time in the not far distant future
as vet undetermined-suc resignation,
however, il occurring, will depend upon
circumstances entirely disconnected with

nothing a. TO ali intention Of resigning.

Those Who Approve Bl0ine's

While very many y Northern papers, III
Guiding some Republican in politics, de-
nounce Blaine's speech, and the vast
majority OF Northern people dlsapprove
II, We are not TO suppose that II does not
find a responsive echo among a great
number who recently supported him for
President There are journals of note
also that are as emphatic in their approval
as are others iii their condemnation
These represent the sectiotalists with
whom the war is not vet over, but the
majority Of whom would have long since
attained a periodically healthy state of
mind if the spirit of hostility to the South
had not been kept alive for political ends
by sel6shly am bilious leaders of whom
Blaine is the type, and who will long
continue to have a considerable following,
but never egain sufficiently numerous to
decide the result of general election n
their favor.
The New York Sun, while not fully
approving, finds something to praise in
Blaine's speech, as might be expected,
tor it obviously considers that it expresses
the sentiments of portion of the Repub-
lican party SO large as to be worth seek
ing favor with. 1t says the speech
"proves that he accepts the result of the
