Harrison and The South.

NASHlNGToN. D, C., Nov. 12.-The election of Gen. Harrison, said prom inent railroad official yesterday, seems to have easta heavy gloom over the eeL- tire south. 1t is very much feared that the appointment of republican officials Ill that section, United States marshal and others, will have the effect of aroasing hostility between the two races. The majority of the republicans of the south, as is well known. are either ignorant or vicious, and it is thought their return to office will ex- cite the blacks to deeds which may re- suit in violence. Business in thesouth has certainly received blow by the election of Gen. Harriso l, from which ! am afraid it will take it some time to recover

The latter died of consumption during the war.
 A building in the vicinity possess ing interest, is the little old fash toned Bcrea Chapel situated about two mlles from Con. Harrison s tomb, and ohe of the first regular churches in the Northwest Terrl- tory. Tho old pastor of thIs church, still living within the shad- ow of the trees about 1t, has in hls possession two documents he przes highly; they concern the origin of old Berea, and are the original sub scr1ption papers for that building.

TRE NEXT PRESIDENT
Born in a Log Cabin and a CIassmate
 of Murat Halsread.

Banlamin Harrison was born in North Bend, O., while hls father and mother were yet resiI ents of the old homestead, the log cabin of IlPpecanoe fame. How long he lived here, not even the oldest in. habit2nt knows, but it was while yet lad that his father, having come into his inheritance from tho old Generals estate, removed to and built q comfortable home upon high promontory, now known as Fort Hill, forming the extreme southwestern corner of Ono; a bit of land between the Ohio and Miama rivers, where they acutcly join. The spot is an ideal site for home. the View up and down the rlvcr the Mama bottoms being unsur- fl'assed. Gen. IIarrlson lived here with his family until he completed
 
 his college course and entered upon the study of law, and here hls fath- CT lived unti! he dled 10 years ago. The house is now tenanted by stran- gers.
 The old home place is about two miles down the river from the home and tomb of Gen. ". H. Harrison. The old log cabin of fame has long since disappeared. and the whole 1 Xtsttge of Il now remaining Is a dc- l fte>ston in the the ground, once thH eefler, and 2 few venerable pear trees that stood in tho yard.
