THE OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

The administration of president Har
rison has assumed definite character
at least SO far as the treatment of the
| Negro is concerned. The suspicion
which at first prevailed that he should
ignore the Negro in the south and ex-
tend but little consideration to his north
ern brother has been completely dis
sipated by the recent appointment of
prominent colored men. Gen'l Smalls
the doughty Negro pilot of Charleston
Harbor, has received marked recogni.
ton, in being made collector of one OF
the principal ports in his native state
This together with the appointment OF
Negro postmaster at the aristocratic re-
sort Bay st. Louis, in Miss, and
the appointment of Wright Quincy to the
highest federal position in Texas, and
the elevation of TOWNSEND and Lynch
to managers of important executive de-
partments indicates clearly enough, that
the president means to treat the claims
of the Negro with the consideration due
his loyalty to the union and devotion to
the party.-St. Louis Advance.
The appointment of n. Wright Cum
ey rs collector of the port at Galveston,
made last Saturday is one the best that
could be made. Nj. Quincy was very
strongly endorsed for the position, both
by democrats and republicans, by the
leading bankers, merchants and other
business men of his city and state. Tt is
the best office in Texas, and Mr.. Cuney
standing ut the head of his party there,
for sixteen years attending the nation
al conventions as a delegate at large and
twice a member of It's national COM
mittee, is the very man to fill the posi-
ton. His color has not proven Il dis
qualification as was feared, but if he
administers the office successfully, it will
as it should, be placed to the credit of
the race. We thank president Harri-
son for this recognition of the colored

. The experiments on animals, in
New York on Tuesday, clearly demo
strated that executions by electricity
are not only possible, but that painless
death can be produced in from ten to
twenty-five seconds. The expert.
ments were made with dynamos used
for electric lights and it was ascertain.
ed that the best results were Obtained
when pressure equal 10 that required
for electric lighting was used. These
experiments clearly established two
facts, the first being that electricity is
more merCiful method OF executing
criminals than hanging them, and
secondly that Il current which is suit.
ficiently strong to produce the cleo,
trio light, is sufficient to cause death
in very few seconds. Still there are
some persons who maintain that there
is no danger TO be apprehended from

that this network stretched over CIR
heads on all principal streets is the

We commend Judge Ball for the
course that be pursues toward wife
heaters, and only regret that the law
does not ermit him to inflict a more
severe punishment A creature that
beats his wife is unworthy OF the name
OF man, and should be made to feel
that it is misdemeanor that will not
be passed over with a slight punish
ment. Some husbands seem to think
that their wives were born to be their
slaves, and that whenever they choose
to get drunk they can go home and
beat and abuse them. This idea be.
longs TO the savages, and therefore the
creature that beats and abuses his wife
shows that he is no better. in fact not
as good, as savage, and should be
Stunned by all honorable men. We,
however, do not believe that more than
one case in ten is ever made public,
and we are satisfied that there are
scores of women who are abused and
ill-tTeated by the men who have taken
a solemn obligation to love and cherish
them, that keep their troubles to them
selves, and go on suffering from the
commencement OF a year until the
close. We wish that all such would
make their cases known TO Judge Ball,
and we will guarantee they will obtain
relief.
