REV. MACH Henson, short time ago,
in a letter TO the LIGHT, asserted that
the negro could live MS comfortably and
us well at the North as at the South.
Recent reports go to show that the col
ored people who formed the exodus from
Texas and.other Southern States to Kan
sas in ISIS . are now returning in small
parties to seek their old homes, which is
made the subject Of editorial comment
by State papers, that nature had fixed
the "colorn line for the black man, that
he belonged to the tropic or semi-trop-
ical climate, and all attempts to estab-
fish him at the North would prove n
failure. II there ever was Il movement
under the sun in which there was less of
preparation or method, it was in that
exodus. They were like simple child
rem, without money, clothing or food,
cropping their way to country they
knew nothing OF but through ex-
travagant heresay, coming in the
cold weather with no purpose
or plans for the future, and living upon
the contributions of the charitable.
There were something more than 10000
of them who reached Kansas, and it can
be said to the credit of that State and of
the people of the North and East, that
the majority of the vast number were
provided with food and shelter, and
eventually homes. Mr.. Henson is right
in the abstract. The colored man and
brother can get along as well in u North
ern home as in n Southern, provided
however, that he has it in him to gel
along anywhere, and those who have
returned do not lessen the logic of MIR
Henson's reasoning, for those who hav,
become established in Kansas are mum
bered among her most worthy citizens

Am Republics ungrateful, is a ques-
tion that all ages have asked with va
ried answers. General Grant, the great
est commander of ancient or modern
times, is now asking Congress TO be
placed upon the retired list Of the army
in order that his old age may be passed
in comfort and ease. In the Jefferson
Jlmpleouts the following notice is pub
llshed: "Notice Is hereby given that |
will apply to the next Legislature of the
State Of Texas for the passage Of u
special act allowing me for services reh-
dered the Republic OF Texas in the year
1871, in raising and organizing troops
for the defense Of the people Of said
Republic, and for money and provisions
furnished said soldiers while in the
field. w. V. Hughes This looks like
a very fragrant case Of lngratitude, and
If Mr.. Hughes claim is genuine he has
waited long time for the remuneration
and the justice that should have been
awarded him. There were but hand
ful of men at best who were instrument
tai in the birth Of the Republic Of Texas
But few Of thea remain, and this now
growing and Swealthy commonwealth
can well afford to honor them and re-
ward them in n manner as BELTS heroes
and patriots, and 1t looks n little bit to
the discredit of the state that man
should have to publicly proclaim his in
tentions in order to get that which he
should have had years ago.

An Unknown Assailant.

PuTsBuRG November 2S.-This morning
about l O'Clock Sam Britain, who has
been accustomed OF late to sleep in the
office OF his son, a well-known coal opera
tor. was awakened from his sleep by
strange man near his bedside, who had a
revolver pointed at the old gentleman's
head. Britain asked what was wanted,
when the other fired, the bullet striking
Britain on the forehead, but glanced and
produced but a slight wound. The two
men crappled with each other, when an
other shot was fired, striking Britain on
the right arm. He fell and became insensi-
ble. but was aroused later by a fire burning
him. He discovered the bed in flames and
managed to throw the bed clothes out OF
the window. This morning when the office
was opened he was found ly ing on the floor
in a nool of blood, unconscious. The affair
;s shrouded in mystery. No cause is known
why such an assault should be made.
Britain is 20 years OF age.

THE COAL TROUBLES.
The Officers in Possession of the Mines
The Strikers Dispense.

PIrrsBuRG, November 2S.-The situation
of the coal miners troubles in the Mo
nongehela valley is as follows: Last night
the sheriffs of Washington and Fayette
counties massed their forces at the Fourth
pool, had guards placed in and around
each mine and notified the strikers tnao
any attempt at violence this morning
would be promptly and vigorously met.
The strikers, on reviewing &n the 9asf' bors ne
came alarmed and during the early hours
of the morning came from their hiding
places, scaled the hills and made for their
homes on foot. The recruiting parties
were notified to proceed no further: Inc
workmen in the Fourth pool are lntlml-
dated and none OF them made any attempt
to go to work to-day. They all, however, ,
have promised to resume on Monday unoer e,
the protection OF officers. At Pine kun' IN
nooi No. 2, about 100 strikers gathered
about the mine and tried to induce the
workmen to quit work. A brass band ac,
companied them. Insulting remarks were
made to the nonunionists, but no violence
was attempted.
