phans' home the Champion says: Not
q dollar of either state or national money
has ever been expended on u public in
stitution in AtchIson since the founda-
tion of the state. Atchison offers to
fulfil the conditions of the law, as to site
and cash bonus required, and can offer as
healthful and beautiful site as therc is IN
Kansas. Governor Martin has not used
any unfair OF dishOnOrable means TO ia
vor Atchison in this matter, aud will not.
But he will do whatever he can, hOnorablY
and fairly, to locate the orphan asylum
at AtchlsoD, and the Champion has no
hesitation in making this fact as public
as It is possible tn make Il" The cry

MEMPHIS, Aug. 5.-No. u Dean ave-
nue., the place OF the residence of Rev.
r. N. Countee, colored pastor of the
Tabernacle Baptist church and manager
of the Living Way, was surrounded yes
terday by 200 masked negroes, who fired
volley after volleY of bullets into the
building. Loud calls were made for
Countee, but he failed to appear. A
negro porter fired his pistol at the mob
and managed to escape. Countee has
been a member of the secret societies,
but resigned and began denouncing
them. The members of this society take
an oath not to divulge its secrets on the
penalty of having their scalps removed
and their brains exposed to the rays OF
the scorching sun. Countee is said to
have lald himself open to this penalty.

Indeed in considering General Grant as

band and father, he has TurDished

father. His family relations have been
OF the happIest, and he has never been so
engrOssed In the great affairs which
nave demanded his attention SO as not 10

careful, that whatever anger or preju-
dice may have inspired az against him,
personally, no breath OF scandal has
eyer been bFeathed against him as fam.
lily man, or against his family. His
