THE COLoRED REVOLT. "A dispatch
from Charlotte, y. c.. to the Herdid II
as follows:
Troubles are multiplying around the
administration. The news which came
to-day from Charlotte. \. c.. of the or
ganizati0n Of an independent party by
the colOred men there and the burning
i'm ciligy of the most prominent Of the
new Federal officials appointed by Pres
ident Harrison attracted a deal
of attention among the cOlored
men and theii friends. They have
been nursing strong dissatls-
faction with the Presidents action
toward them, and any symptoms Of
courageous revolt finds them ready TO
sympathize with il. They say that II j.
not without significance that this de-
claration of independence o. the Re
publican machine is made i'm Mecklen-
burg county. which witnessed The frs.
declaration of independence against
Great Britain.
Republicans from North Carolina say
that the feeling against the admins
tratiOn there is deep aud bitter. and
that no political thimblerigging can
stay the exodus to the Western States.
which Mr.. Cneathan. the c1lOred
Congressman, says will reach the
proportion of sixty thousand persons.
Such an exodus of Republican
voters will make North Carolina surely
Democratic and Senator Qlay will never
again be tempted to squander $50 600
to win the State for MS party. Mr.
Cheatham admits that the change will
make his district Democratic and that
ne is not likely to again represent il in
Congress.
A SCOTCH CUTTER THAT Can SAIL
In the sweepstake race Of the CORN

Jr.. of Fairlie. Scotland, walked away
from a fleet of yachts that included all
the crack "fOrty-foOtcrs in the c0un-
try, and several designed by lhe hereto
fore invincible Burgess.
Out of eight races m which she has
started this season the Minerva has
won six. What makes her victories
the more notable Is the fact that she
carries much less canvas than any Of
her competitors and is, in fac. much
smaller boat.-Ne,r iOr. 4erg'd

Alaskan waters. at present enjoyed by
a close corporation TO the exclusion Of /
all other American citizens, will soon
expire. and it is intended To renew the /
