and general Importance; that he was dis
tant and scarcely approachable, and that
he INDUCED, in his private correspondence
and diary, in tone OF depreciation OF his
chief which was altogether incompatible
with his position and unjust in fact. Mr..
Schuckers denies these charges in toto and
calls the veracity OF Messrs Hay and Nico-
lay in question, sustaining his position by
showing that they quoted from Mr.. Chase's
letters only SO much as was necessary to
their purpose Of traducing that famous
statesman, emitting such parts as were
necessary TO true statement Of tho facts.
These omitted parts Mr.. schuckers sup
plies, and they make a prima Idcie case
against Messrs. Nicolay and Hay which
they cannot answer and which, as we have
said, invOlidates their position and state
ments as TO Mr.. Chase.

The Decatur NewS says THE APPEAL was
right in placngit in the list Of papers that
support Mr.. Sam Blackwell as candidate
for the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor Of Alabama, and says "He is a
young man, vigorous in body and mind,
tolerant and conservative in high degree,
yet fully imbued with the spirit OF prog
ress that signalizes the present age. His
attainments in literature, particularly an
cient and modern history, the arts and
sciences, considering that his life has been
devoted to business pursuits, are really
astonishing. His knowledge OF current
events is not one whit inferior to that OF
the closest and most critical student.
lie is thoroughly versed in American pol
itics and American legislation, and has met
and routed the abest political champions
OF the opposite faith upon the issues that
today agtate the public mind. His record
is one that any man would be gratifed to
have and that all men might covet."

mitioc appointed by tho American For

TO recommend to Congress such legislation

no protection for the forests, aud "unpun-

The remedy for the evil In the opinion Of

sufficient powers, In the employment oI
trained forcsicrs and guards, TO render the
protection OF public forest lands praciic

THE negroes OF North Carolina who pro-
pose IA general exodus OF their race do not
seem to have proiited by the experience Of
their brethren In other States. The exodus
from Mississippi and Georgia, which agi-
tated the whole country several years ago,
and which was repeated for two or three
years, resulted only in the saddest expe-
rionces TO those who were unfortunate
enough to be duped into "going West. "
The experience Of the Tar Heel darkies
will be the same. Those Of them who 60
West will soon be glad TO return East.
There is no panacea for iancicd i'll in im.
migration, and going West will not relieve
the negro from the necessity Of working
for living. 1t will only increase his hard.

importance OF Constitutional Convention
for that State, and, meeting the objections
that have hitherto been made to such
body, says: at has been said (1) that il the
condition Of affairs Is unsatisfactory, n
convention might make things worse.
This is nonsense. The thing is impossible.
(2) Again il Is said that 1t would be q
dangerous experiment, because there is no
telling who constitute the Convention.
This is ridiculous. Everybody knows that
it will be controlled by white men and
Democrats. II the party can elect Legis-
lature ii can elect majority Of convention
delegates. Moreover, 1t has been whis-
pered (3) that it might produce a schism
in the party. 1t must DO weakling Of a
party that canno. survive an open, fair
discussion Of important public questions in
