The President administered rebuke to
some colored men who called on him Sat
urlay to invite him TO review the eman-
cpation day procession that they'will not
SON forget. The spokesman Of the COL
Ored men was the editor of little paper
published in Washington known as the
BE. The paper is a sort Of an organ of
the colOred men who are in the govern
m Mt service. Af'er thanking the colored
men for their invitation and accepting
it, the President picked up a copy of
the Bee, and, directing attention TO an
article in it, said that ne hoped that the
colored men Of the d strict of Columbia
did not permit themselves to be guided by
mon who published articles like the one
10 which he directed their attention. The
paper bore date INN dlately after the
election, and the paragraph 10 which the
President asked the attention of his col.
ored visitors contained the following sem
timents, su gested by an alleged outrage
in Louisiana during the election: "The
scene IN the South on last Tuesday has
aroused the indignation of over 5000 900
Of true black citizens. IL is time tor
every American negro in the South
TO make an appeal to arms and
fire every Democratic home where
negro.killers live, from a palace to a hut.
in retaliation for the foul and dastardlv
murders that were committed in the
South. We speak without fear and in de.
{ nse Of the helpless negro. IL is far m re
nozzle 70 die the death Of a freeman than
an gnominious slave. Toe 1853 electoral
votes Of the South were obtained through

and peaccsbic cit Gems were imprisoned

circumstances il Will cost the lives OF mill

The editor of the paper presented a very

The change in sentiment on the subject
OF dueIl!ng during the last forty years b,s
been remarkable. A man who killed MS
antagonist IN a duel was once considered
as a hero. Now he is looked upon as lit

correspondent says that Judge y. s..
Terry, who killed d. c. Roderick 10 a
duel, In san Francisco. inst before the
war, is now an obscure old man practlc-
ing law IN stockton, and that he is pur-
sued by the retrbutive justice Of public
opinion. His case has counterpart in
that Of well known duelist IN an adj
joining state The days Of duelng are
about past IN this country. Questions Of
honor must be decided according 10 honor,

1t is doubted whether an Anglo Russian
war would cause any very great increase
in the nmand for American breadstuns.
Il is held by many that neither the Indian
nor Russian supplies Of grain would be
cut on from the European markets in The
event OF war. Russian wheat would b.
shipped freely by rail into Germany, and
Indian wheat would still find its way
through the Suez canal. Probably the
gun makers and canned goods manufac.
turers would be the only persons in the
United States who would der We much
real profit from the war. So far as specu-
lation in grain is concerned, the gain OF
some Of the dealers will be counterbal-
anced by the losses Of the others.
