The shooting of VIM. Craw
ford's little daughter, at Buchtel
O., Friday last, just suggests th'
query as to whether the peopl'
of this region have any reason t.
hope for the coming of time
when there will be less loss O
life through the agency of fire
arms.
If we sum mp the deaths in The
Hooking Valley for the last ter
years from this cause alone, il
would furnish startling evidence
of weakness some Where in the
machinery of the law.
The day before this child was
killed, Brady, it is said, attempt,
ed TO shoot Conductor Calvin
Even then he was not arrested,
but was allowed to run loose like
a mad dog, and equally as dan
gerous to the people around him.
On the day of the tragedy he fired
his revolver at a negro, and we
have, under the circumstances,
no right to believe other than
that he designed murder when he
pulled the trigger. But what was

and the bullet found lodgment
in the fair brow of a little four
teen year old girl. Society owes
a debt to the parents Of that
child that it will never be able to
repay.
Brady escaped AID was chased
like a wild beast, and if he had
been caught by the people in the
first heat of passion. would have
been strung up to the first tree.

spirit that his red hand freed; it

When there is general disar

children in public places. The

Since Mr.. Douglass arrived in
the old country he sees the neces-
sity to lay aside pleasure and de-
fend the race which is so greatly
abused. The following extract
from a letter sent to his son Freder-
ick Douglass, Jr., will demonstrate
his fidelity TO those in whom he has
always manifested an interest.
Hotel Britanique, Paris, Nov. Is,
1886.
1t may seem to you that l am
here seeking pleasure only, but
such is not the case. Wherever 60
the cause of the whole colored race
goes with me and at the bar of the
public opinion of the countries
where [ visit, where / am seen and
heard men think more nationally
aud generously of the value of the
colored race.
/ wish we had hundred of able
colored men travelling abroad. The
enemies are here as elsewhere de-
scribing them as a good for nothing
race, degrading them and STEERING
prejudice against them in speech as
well as in writing. When intelli-
gent colored men come abroad
they speak for themselves and
speak for the race as we'll.

At the meeting held by the Washington
Cadet Corps on Monday night last, the
officers of Major, treasurer, and Secre-
taries were declared vacant. By vote of
the Corps Capt Arthur Brooks was as
signed to the command pending another
election. Capt. w. Ell. Lee was elected
Treasurer, Capt. Malvim Financial Secre-
tary, Sergt. J. A. Payne Recording Sec
retary. Capt. Brooks announced Capt. j.
S. Coolidge AS chairman of the Armory
Committee, ne will have charge of rent
ing the Hall, Capt. Dabney is chairman
of the executive committee. The report
of the Auditing Committee reviled a
state of affairs that astOunded the MEM
bers generally, Bills reported as paid
still outstanding, moneys received and
collected for which no credit was given
the Corps. Notes &C., charged as paid
two and three times for the same debt.
Vouchers charged for that had not been
paid at all. In one instance forged re-
ceipt discovered, reports made to show
less money than received, notes renew
ed aud interest paid, when the notes
should have been paid, and dreadful
display of mlsmanagement on the part Of
the financial officers, to call it by its mild
est name. So that when :he balance was
struck, it showed 1915 due the Treasurer
instead of $1,000 to $500 as he claimed.
A special meeting is called for Thurs
day next the 10Th inst, to map out a
course to pursue. having cut away the
rotten supports ard replaced them with
sound timber, the building will now 60
on without fear of falling. The eyes OF
the npmhurS have hapn at lpnuth oppnal
to the mistakes they have made, and a
bright future can be confidently hoped
for as a result of this sad experience.
