at least an average of two to the dis

friends. But there is degree of
modesty possessed by majority of
Montgomery politicians, which pre-
vents them from rushing to the

advance of a convention, and there
fore most of them have been left at

been lost to the State.
This question is up in political cir

question? There are three to elect

THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMIT

Now that the State Democratic Elk

date July 15) for the State Conven-

West that he call a meeting of the
County Committee at the earliest
date practicable, for consultation in
regard to organization, what is best
for the interest of the Democratic
party in the county, and fix the date
for holding a county convention to
appoint delegates to the State Con
vention. There are some matters OF
interest to the Democracy of the
county, of which the chairman is
aware, and which should be discussed
in committee first, and therefore we
suggest an early meeting of the com

Henry Southgate was one of the men en-
gagged in robbing the Indiana National bank
some years ago in what was known as the
"orange box robbery" the box being used to
stand upon while the thief reached over the
glass framework upon the counter and lifted
out several thousand dollars in bank notes

Southgates friends pressed an application
for pardon on the ground that he was dying
of consumption. Governor Hendricks be-
lieved his story and pardoned him. "In a
very short time after his release Southgate
was as lively and healthy an evildoer as there
was in the state,n said prison official. HE
had simply been playing the soap trick"

eating soap. The effect was to bleach his
skin by producing dearth of blood, or rather
by changing the orpuscles-increasing the
white and diminishing the read. There are
no serious consequences following the use Of
soap, and when discontinued the man rapidly
gets well.
Governor Hendricks, naturally enough
was much chagrined over this deception an6
made an entry in this Office to the effect that
it was never safe to pardon man merely be
cause he looked sick. Men in prison will dc
other things to excite sympathy and make II
appear that they are dying of consumption.

NORTHERN POLITICAL CLERGY.

Since the Rev. Cooke, of Boston,
has poured out his gall against the
South to an admiring, enthusiastic
audience he finds plenty of imitators
who are willing to prostitute their
calling to please fanaticism, and one
more able than himself, who goes a
few step further in the political
slums, Rev. DR.. Gregg, preached
Sunday, March 23rd, to large and
applauding audience on the negro
problem, in which he said:
To the defence of his rights | con-
secrate my head, and my heart, and
my hand, and my humanitarian in
stincts and my time, and my patri-
otism and my purse, and If need be,
as a final resort, my rifle.
The editor of the Boston Globe adj
dressed an open letter to the author
of this hyporcritical cant, putting
some very tough questions, which
he nor any of his ilk will ever an
swer, but which the Southern ne
gro, whose opportunities are many,
may consider with profit to them
selves, and if they are wise will not
lend their aid and influence to the
agitation of this question. The
editor says:
l assert that the negro is nots well
treated in Boston or Massachusetts,
or the North generally, as he is in
the South. You must know that in
this city of Boston, which processes
to be the original and still the chief
headquarters of the friends of the
colored man, he is Ostracised in
more effective manner than he is in
the South. Fewer occupations are
open to him here, and he is not
treated as well i'll many respects as
he is in the South.
DO you not know that in the city
of Boston, rs in every other city and
town in the North, there are only
three or four occupations open to the
colored man? He must be either a
barber, a waiter, a janitOr, or por
ter. In what other calling can he
succeed?
The white man in Boston does not
admit the negro to social equality.
Take the young COlored man who is
class orator ut Harvard this year, a
graduate of the Boston Latin school,
a young man of fine attainments,
and mentally well fitted for the posi-
ton to which he has been elected.
Unless he becomes teacher or
preacher among his own race, what
occupation is open to him in the city
where he has been raised? Can he
become a merchant, physician,
lawyer, banker, OF even mechan-
ic? No. Will Harvard College make
him one of its professors ? No, GER
tainly not. Here he can only enter
one OF the occupations | have named,
and in which college education will
not be worth two cents ton.
How many colored sections are
there in the white churches? How
would the members of your church
like an assistant pastor, Colored
man, to help you in your parish work
and visit among them? How many
business men, lawyers, physicians or
bankers, who sit in your congrega-
ton, and are delighted to hear you
pound the South for its treatment of
the negro, will take IA colored man
into business partnership with them
selves
Has the negro made any advance
in Boston among the various vOca-
tons or in social life since he has
has been emancipated If so, in
what direction? Is not the reason
because the sentiment of Boston,
like that of other cities and towns in
the North, is against him?

PROPOSED MILITARY CHANGE.
Substituting Department Commands for
Division Commantls--some DetaiIs.f

Substituting Department Commands for
Division Commands--Some DetaiIs.i
WASHINGTON, July .7.--The Presi-
dent AMI Secretary Proctor are seriously
considering proposition advocated by
several prominent army officers for the
abolition of the present system Of di-
vision commands, and 10 have military
affairs administered hereafter through
department commands. it is argued
that the present system is cumbersome
and expensive, and that it involves an-
necessary delay in the transmission and
consideration of official papers. The
great division of the Missouri was Gre
ated for the purpose Of giving Gen.
Sherman command suitable to his
rank, and has been continued ever since
because of important Indian campaigns
within its territory
These troubles are now confined to a
small extent Of territory, and are no
longer an important factor in military
affairs. 1t is understood that the presi-
dent and secretary Of war are favorable
to the proposed change, as tending to
simplification of military methods, and
as doing away with the maintenance. of
useless military establishments. In
case the change is made major general
will be placed in command of each of
the two important departments--the
Atlantic and the Pacitc-and the in
terror departments will be commanded
by brigadier generals, all of whom will
report direct to Maj. Gen. Schotield,
commanding the army whose head
quarters win be at Washington. The
effect of this change would be merely
nominal in New York city and San
Francisco, where are located both the
division and department headquarters,
but would deprive Chicago of her mill
tary establishment altogether, unless it
were made the headquarters Of a de-
partment command. IL is not likely,
however, that there will be any change
in the existing system before the lst of
September.
