ONE OF the several reasons assigned for
the greatly exaggerated reports of the
emigration of the coiored people from some
of the Southern Atlantic States is that they
so where they hope for more social recog-
milton. If that he so the emigrants are
even more silly than those who know them
best have heretofore believed. Right or
wrong, there have always been social grades
in every country on the face of the earth,
and there always will be: and the lines of
such grades are as we'll defined between
different classes Of white people as they are
between white people and negroes. Color
ed people have no more social recognition
in the North and West than in the South,
and, as the latter is more congenial, for
their own good, they should stay where

linquish mert Of the Indian title to the re-
mainder.
HOUSE.
A smile ran through the House this morn
ing when the Chaplain in his opening prayer
returned thanks that tour silver and gold
have been multiplied" and the silver men
pretended to see in the fact that silver had
been placed before gold, an indication that
the religious portion of the community was
in favor of double standard.
The Senate resolutions touching the death
of Vice President Hendricks were presented
to the House, and on motion IF Mr.. Holman
OF Indiana, were laid upon the table for the

Does tie GAZETTE really think that any
man voted for Gen. Lee because reputation
was 10 the platform The Legislature seems
to think that the pledge respecting the debt
is obligatory; why not respecting free bookss
Both pledges form part of the platform,
and are of equal dignity in point of oblfga-
tion, though not so 10 point of law-the
courts of the country having decided in EN-
phatc terms against reputation. Why
faithful to one pledge and false to another?
-Peicrsburq Iader Appeal.
WE'D not, nor have we ever endorsed
reputation in any shape; on the contrary,
we have, day after day, called upon the
members fthe General Assembly to do what
both honesty and policy require-settle with
the creditors of the State upon satisfactory
basis, and thus take the question out Of pol
tiles, and out Of the courts forever. That
they may be able to do that, we protest
against increasing our expenses by either a
million, or a quarter of a million, year, for
unnecessary and uncalled for free books.

An Earthquake Era.

The Pacific Ocean is evidently in pre-
cess of reconstruction. New islands
are making their appearance, showing
that the myriads of coral insects are still
hard at work laying the foundation for
future continents. Then earthquakes
and volcanoes were never SO active rs
in that part of the world recently. Last
year Java and the adjacent islands
were the scene of one of the most
frighful volcanic eruptions witnessed
by man since the beginning of recorded
history. At last accounts, New Zea-
land was experiencing an outbreak of
volcanic fury which terrified its inha b.
itants. 1t is evident that there are Sc
rious disturbances just inside the crust
of the earth, and the suspicion prevails
among scientists that these throes OF
nature presage the birth of new islands,
if not great continents. The. red sun

"sam JONES' friends are circulating

"Sam jones' friends are circulating
the following as an advertising notice:
a young man who had Travelled with
show for six years and played CALI
ope was reclaimed at one of the Rev.
Sam Jones' revival meetings last
month. This is misleading, since It
implies that man who plays a calliope
is a peculiarly hardened reprobate;
while there is no logical reason why he
should be worse than the man who
beats the tomtom for the Salvation
Army. A philosophical view of the
matter would lead one to think that it
would be easier to convert calliOpe-
player than to convert the people who
have to listen to him. 1t may be fair
and right to make public announcement
of every conversion wrought under the
influence of Mr.. Jones' preaching; but
it is not right to discredit an honest
but humble occupation merely for ad-
vertising purposes. There Is no rea soI
why a consistent Christian should not
play a calliope for fair wages, unless
an objection is raised on account of the
affiuent profanity usually evoked by
that harsh instrument. - POst-Dis-

Says the Pennington Times: Prof.
A. w. Wilson, who Is to take charge
of the new Presbyterian school at this
place, Elmwood Seminary, aud hls
family. arrived here last week ,and are
domiciled at the Seminary boarding
house. The following notice of the
Professor we clip from the Dodd City
{Texas) Spectator, in which city he
has spent several years as an educator:
Prof. A. w. Wilson and family left
Tuesday for Pennington, Mo. The Pro-
fessor will take charge of the female
college at that place. During the years
that we have mixed and intermingled
with men, we have never met any per-
son who SO wholly commanded our re-
spect and admiration as does Prof. Will
son. A Christian gentleman, a pro-
found scholar, and in fact q man In
every sense that the word suggests.
He came to Dodd five years ago, when
the drunkard's yell and the six-shoot
er's crack were familiar sounds, and
that he has been largely instrumental
in assisting good order and good citi-
zenship to supereede the bacchanalian'
revelry, no one doubts. AS minister,
he is of that type that says, /" follow,
not +" do as say. /" There is none Of
that "sanctified" about him which so
many ministers delight to assume. But
instead he has the quiet manner of q
true, Christian gentleman, that COM
mands respect wherever found. He is
one of those rare persOnages that act as
"oil on troubled waters;" never creates,
but aIlays dissentions in religious and
domestic circles. In short, too much
praise can not be bestowed on him.
His removal is loss that will be felt;
but the best wishes of his hosts OF
friends in Fannin county go with him
and his family to their new home. IT
he should ever desire to return to Tex
as, the Lone Star State will welcome
him as her prOdigal son. "

The Rasures Case.

Now that the Cutting case has about
ended, the, case of Francisco Rasures
becomes more prominent than ever.
Another letter of Secretary Bayand to
Gov. ireland has just been made pub-
lie, in which he declares that if Mon.
dragon and his subordinates were gull.
ty OF using fraud or deception in carry.
ing off poor Rasures, who had declared
his intention of becoming an American
citizen, "a case may possibly be pre-
sented for demand OH Mexico for the
extradition of the offenders"
But the central fact in the matter is
that the people on whose official action
the life of Rasures depended were
that. They were no less persoDages
than the Judge and Sheriff of Maver-
ick county, Texas. Consul Linn's re-
port declares that "Rasures had been
delivered to the Mexisan officers with
out even the form of an extradition
trial, aud upon warrant of county
Judge, who acted without having even
formal charges preferred against the
prisoner" There might possibly be
charge of bribery brought against Capt.
Mondragon, hut, as to deception, the
Texas officials seem to have deliberate-
ly abandoned all forms of law in aiding
this crime
The substance of the whole affair is
that the Government of the United
States, as well as the Government Of
Texas, ought to be profoundly asham-
ed of this revelation of iniquity i'm its
own border officials, completely block
ing its complaints against the incapa-
bile and corrupt local judiciary on the
other side of the Rio Grande. 1t ought
to bend its efforts first of all to punish
these home officials. AS fact, for
hours and even days, we believe, after
the country was ringing with this ln-
dlvidual act of private vengeance, styl-
ed by Gov. Ireland crime of Mexico.
the guilty Texas officials were still as
liberty and garrulous; and although
they are now under arrest, it is possi-
BILE that not one in three of those who
have learned to declaim against Mon
dragon can tell even the names of the
Judge and Sheriff through whose COM
plicity his alleged crime alone became
possible.-N. Y. Sun.
