MIR. Blame Silenced.

Only few weeks ago Mr.. BLAINE was
making speeches IN Pennsylvania warning
his hearers against the destructive compe-
tltion Of the southern nsgio with the
northern white man. He declared that the
negroes were still practically in the bonds
OF slavery that their employers paid them
whatever they chose, aud that unless the
Democratic party was driven from power,
and the negro set free In reality, northern
white workingmen would soon find their
wages cut down to the same level as those
Of the poor prosecuted negroes.

Ben. Featherstone. the negro desperado,
who escaped arrest Yesterday morning alter
having been caught in burglary, was
jumped this morning in Fifth ward by

was hurt, The negro made his escape out
into Dinwiddie county, and strong posse
OF officers have gone IN pursuit OF MN.
FeatherstOne Ia known to be armed, and Is
known also 10 be a reckless and desperate

in vain, he will give trouble before sub
hitting 10 arrest.

with extreme nervous prostration. He has
been under skiliul medical treatment Tor
nearly two months, being unconscious after

But it is not necessary to cite cases. The
United States statute is clear.
