aeecily down the slope which l.
had just assembled. Long filmy
streams above were stretching
themselves forward as though i'm
patient at the slowness OF the great
cloudy glacier beneath them. Large
dropps of rain began to patter.
The foreruning, outriding bits of
mist were creeping on the earth
around me, and some, as graceful
as giant boa, were arching their
long crests upward above the castle
rocks beyond me. Then the great
billow of boiling black swept
around nae and beneath me,
like some living thing of strength
and purposes and, thunder deafen-

my breath thiekened with an air
that was vapory, ozoned d sui

Soon l noticed that my hands
kept wiping at my face to free it
from a cobweb-like sensation, and
that my flesh was warm with a lit
tie prickling tingle; and, looking up,
l saw my gun barrel tips sparkling
with little flashes of light. Then
1 had realized my danger, and
turning I ran quickly down the
mountain side whence / had come,
and left behind me the grandest
spectacle 1 ever witnessed. On
our slope it only sprinkled When
I reached my home canon, the sun

high, and were still too turbld from
the great rain cloud that had rolled
down its canon by my feet.

The NEGRO Problem.

Tho Philadelphia Inquirer of yesterday
contained page of opinions on the negro
problem written by statesmen, editors, &C.,
&c. Here is the Inqdre's comment;
The opinions of southern men on the
race problem are of peculiar interest just
now. What shall be done with the colored
man? is the one question which IS keeping
the South solid, and which will keep it
solid until there ia no longer any fear OF it,.
There are various phases of the race pro-
blem, but they can all be condensed into q
angle statement. The southern States be-
Geye in government by white men. They
fear tina if the negroes have all the prvi-
leges of the ballot they may take it into
their heads to assert their powers and un-
dertake 10 control the Government. There
fore the negro must be kept down even If
he has TO be driven from the polls Dis
Ruise il as you may. tins IS the one issue,
and il the whites OF the South could be as
eured that the colored men would not un-
6artake to control politics the race problem
would speedily disappear.
There is but one thing to do with this
question of races, and that is to leave 1t
Hone. The colored man belongs in this
country, and he cannot DO driven away.
He has been given certain rights by the
Constitution, and he must be supported in
maintaining them. We think the whole
question has been given a fictitious i'm
portance. The negro is showing no desire
10 control the government of any one of
the southern States, and even if granted
oil his rights, il is very strongly TO he
doubted whether he would attempt or even
besire 10 attempt TO secure political supre-
macy.
The best thing for the South TO do 10 10
accept the situation. Treat the colored
man with confidence. Let him feel that
he is at home and that he is free to do ~
be pleases within the law. Under such
circumstances the problem would settle
itself, and the chances are largely in the
majority that he would not attempt to in
terfere ia any way with the political wishes
pf the whites. Those who believe in letting
the question alone are wise.
The southern white man treats the negro
with confidence. and the negro confdes in
him In respect Of every matter except tina,
Of casting his ballot. On this subjec,
SAsBo 10 bewitched. He would rather vote
for the meanest northerner that ever lived
than for southerner.
| Bot on the day after the election he will
call upon the southerner for fayor-no
! on the northerner.
The southern negro does feel that he Il
st home. and knows that he is free to do q
he pleases within the law. Nor would h
attempt to interfere in any way wrongful
~ with the political wishes Of the whites
II only there were no mean white men u
taks advantage Of his crcdulous nature.

Difficulties.

The following are some Of the comments
of the Washington Post upon an editorial
which appeared in tho Dispatch several
days ago:
I'm the State of Virginia, for instance.
there are congressional districts IN winch
the party majority runs 80 high that there
is virtually no contest at the election. III
is not natural to suppose that the select
five hundred Will come TO the 'front.' in such
districts and demand Federal supervision
of the election. But in the adjoining
district, where tho difference between the
two parties is quite narrow, MIR. Lodges
DrescriptiOn for fair elections would be
annlied. In the latter district the laws of
the State Of Virginia would be suspended
for the purpose of electlng CONGRESSMAN,
ard the regulations OF the Government
substituted. In addition to this the Austria
liam ballot regulations would be in effect
and Uncle sam would foot the bill. In the
adjoining districts the electors would hold
their election under the laws of Virginia,
without the Australian safeguard. and the
expense of the election would be borne by
the State of Virginia.
1T will be readily seen that the passage
of the Lodge bill would lead to no small
amount of chaos in the several States, and
there would be no end Of litigation over
Guilty over congressional elections, 1t Is the
practice of some States TO elect State and
comfy officers on the same ticket with the
congressmen and presidential electors. If
these were chosen under the provision of
Mr.. Lodges bill there would be large
margin for quibbling and contests. But
perhaps the member from Massachusetts,
has in reserve sufficient amendments to
remedy these defects in his measure"
We viii add for the benefit Of all con-
cerned that under the LODGE bill there will
be Federal registrars in one congressional
district and State registrars in an adjoln-
ing congressional district; Federal regis
tration-books in one congressional district
and State registration-books in an adjoin-
ing district; registration-booksc closed ten
DAYS before the election in one congress
sional district and egistTation-books kept
open until the day ofeiectioninanad adjoining
district; ballots furnished by the Federal
Government in one district and ballots
furnished by the candidates in an adJoin-
ing district: hundreds of voting-booths
furnished by the Federal Government in
one district and no booths at all IN an adj
joining district.
In word there will be condition of
things which can but poorly be foretold
now. Confusion must result. No good
Gun result from such a mongrel measure.
We repeat, we trust that the Democrats
in Congress will have the bill so amended
AS 10 make it take effect in every congress
sional district in any given State or in
none.

An Interesting Case.
Correspondence of tho Richmond Dispatch
SCOTLAND NICK. n. c., March 90, 1890.

Correspondence OF tho Richmond Dispntch-l
SCOTLAND NICK, n. c., March 20, 1890.
A very interesting suit was yesterday en-
tered by b. +. Moore against the town of
Tarboro'. Last spring the town offered
500 for evidence sufficient to convict rob.
bers who pillaged several dwellings Of
money and jewelry. One Of the burglars
attempted to enter Moore's house and he
caught him. Next day the other burglar
was caught by an officer. The boys had
iewelry which was recognized to be that
stolen from some Of the dwellings that had
been entered. The BOYS were sentenced
10 the penitentiary. The town claimed
that Moore furnished only q part of the
evidence for conviction, AS he caught only
one boy, and was therefore entitled 10 only
half the reward. Moore claimed that his
efforts were the sole cause Of the issuing Of
the warrant and so refused TO accept half
the reward. The finding of the iewelry
was the evidence that convicted the boys
and he claimed the full reward and has en-
tered suit. II will be an interesting case,
notwithstanding there is only a small
amount involved. Moore has employed
able counsel.

RALEIGH. n. c., March 20.-Last night
James p. Davis, the murderer of John ID.
Horton. who is to be hanged on the 2Sth
instant at Pittsboro'. confessed that he is
William Shackelford, the notorious Ma
rion county 6. O. criminal, and that he is
guilty of incest and of murder in that
State.
Your correspondent last week gave the
details of Shackelford's terrible crimes in
that State. aud stated that the proof that
Davis was none other than Shackelford was
convincing. Davis denied this bitterly az
that time. To-day Davis alias Shackelford
began work on full history of his life for
publication, which will be intensely sensa-
tional. His attorneys announce to-day that
they will not forward to the Governor the
petitions for Communication of the death SEN
tence to life Imprisonment which were
prepared before this last discovery of Da-
yis's reality was made. There will be at
least 5000 people at Dayis's execution.
