THE STOLEN SILVER,
From the New Orleans Mint Recovered

NASHVILLE, Dec. 7-Several weeks
ago heavy shipment of silver was made
from the New Orleans mint to the treas
urv department at Washington. When
the boxes containing the precious freight
were opened and examined by the
treasury officials it was discovered that
400 silver dollars had been distracted
from one OF the boxes and bags OF shot
substituted therefor. The intelligence
of the robbery was communicated to the
authorities OF the mint and the South
ern Express Company, and Mr.. H. c..
Fisher, superintendent of the latter, be-
gan a most caleful examination at New
Orleans on the 18th of November He
raced the silver from the mine to the
mint where in was coined, and from the
mint to the time !. was placed on the
train at New Orleans. He worked dill
gently on the case and his labors have
been crowned with success, the robber
having been discovered and the missipg g
money secured. Mr. Fisher, who is in
Nashville, respectfully declined to give
the name of the guilty person, for rea
sons explained below. The money was
found in a trunk which had. been check
ed to Bowling Green, KY.
Mr.. Fisher is declining to give the
name OF the guilty man, said that he was
not actuated by desire to save the rep>
utaton of the individual in question, but
did not wish to blast the lives of inno-
cent women and children. The robber
he said, had committed the theft under
circumstances that would excite the
sympathy of a stole and had already
suffered as much as if he had
been consigned to prison and his name
given to the world. 1t was his first OF
ense and would most likely be his last.
Mr. Fisher telegraphed yesterday to Mr.
Montague, the superintendent of the
mint, that the money had been recover
ed and said that no person connected
with the mint was in any way concerned
in the robbery.

A COSTY CRASH.
A COIiision on In II. r. w. & e.. Costs
the Company $4,000.

CHICAGO, Ill, December IA coils.
sion which occurred this morning on
the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago
road near Fiftieth street resulted in a
loss to the company of about $4,000.
The main line forms a sharp curve from
Stewart avenne, to Sixtieth street and
Wentworth avenue. A long freight
train drawn by three engines and north-
bound was rounding this curve when a
south-bound switch engine Running rap
idly dashed into it before anything
could be done to check the momentum
OF the engines. The engineers and fire.
men had just time enough to jump from
their cabs and save their lives when the
crash came. The four engines were
thrown from the track and are all badly
smashed, together with number Of box
cars which were loaded with freight.

Selfish AgitatOrs.

Those southern journals which are
adyocationg the disfranchisement of
the Negro as the solution of the
Negro problem" are not rejecting
much credit upon themselves either
for wisdom or policy. Not able a
mong these papers in Alabama are
the Montgomery Advertiser and the
Birmingham AgeHerald. 1t is
sig i6cant that such question should
be raised just at this time N the ou'-
going Of Democratic National ad-
mipistration and the return OF the
Republican party to the control OF
the government. The Negro has
done nothing himself to spring the
question.
He is pursuing the even tenor OF
his way asa law abiding, peaceable
citizen He is not aggressive IN
politics, even where he is numer-
ical y more powerful than the whit es
but modestly yields the place OF trust
and honor and authority to others.
Why is this issue made then ? Let
these papers show why they wish to
stir up bad blood between the races?
There is no cause for the unjustl,
fable issue raised and the agitatOrs
should be made to feel the indigna-
ton of the people.
Revolutions however do not go
backward, and the Negro will never
be disfrnchief what mischief may be
made by any agitation Of such a
question can not be told. But all the
evils will not fall en- the evil-minded
men and politicians who seek to stir
up race prejudices for political ends,
but upon innocent and good people of
both races So let all such people
put their heels on their common ene-
mics.

The Chattanooga (Tenn.) Justice
hits the nail on the head and speaks
volumes of truth in the following:
The Negro has nowhere in this
country manifested dangerous thirst
for power, and never disregard for
rightful authority. There are cities
and towns in East Tennessee, Chat
tanocga for example, which are gov
rned by Republicans, and in not
one of them is thor. the sligh est ap-
proach to Negro supremacy. Meth
er is such thing any more likely to
happen in communities where Ne
groes are a majority of the popula
ton. Power gravitates toward the
side of wealth and intelligence. Mere
force of numbers is not sufficient.
even if every Negro is allowed to vote
his sentiments, to gain him control of
affairs. Until he acquires those ele
ments OF strength which rule every
where, fear of Negro domination is
groundless; and where he does acquire
them, there will be nothing to fear
in it, should it come"
The poor, ,defenceless and persecut
ed Negro wilt forever remain loyal
to the Republican party if it will on
ly protect them in their rights

THE ONLY COLORED MEM
BER.

Washing ton, Dec. 2.-Henry
Plummer Cheatham, the only negro
in the Fifty>frst congress, who sues
ceeds the Hon. F. NJ. Simmons, in
the Second North Carolina Congress
ional district, is about 30 years Cd.
He is well educated, being graduate
of Shaw University, Raleigh, N. c.
He has taught school every since he
graduated, until two years ago, when
he was elected Register of Deeds of
Vance county. For some years
previous to this, he was principal Of
the normal school in Plymouth, N.
G. He is very popular with the
white people of the "black district,
and they would have preferred him
to many white republicans. When
O'Hara was first elected from this
district his majority was $4,000, and
it has been cut down so that Cheat.
ham gets in by less than 1000 plu
rality over Simmons.
Cheatham is mulatto, and has
some of the best white blood in the
state in his veins. He is well-bread
quiet man, and the democrats
in the district believe he will do his
full duty.

The friends of the Blair Bill are dis.
posed to make another effort to call up
the measure and have vote on it be-
fore the Fiftieth Congress expires. But
OF this there is but little hope. The
House has given repeated evidences of
its hostility to the Blair Bill. Our Dem
ocratic National Platform of 1888 clearly
gave the Blair Bill "black eye." The
5lst Congress being in control of the
Republicans in all the departments of the
Government, will undoubtedly pass the
Blair Bill. When it comes up under a
Republican Administration and is made
again, as it has been in the past, party
measure, it will be interesting from a
political standpoint, to watch the votes
of some of our Democratic statesmen
who have proclaimed their eternal alle-
igance to the principles of the Blair Bill.
