VERY LITTLE HOPE.
Senator Morrill,, OF Vermont, Low With
Pneumonia.

Pneumonia.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 1.-THE
venerable Senator Morrill,, of Vermont,
is critically i'll of pneumonia tonight,
and the gravest fears are entertained.
Senator Morrill, is eighty-twO years old,
and has been in the Senate since 1866,
and is recognized as the father OF the
Senate.
At 2:1S o'clock this afternoon ii was
stated at the house Of Mr.. Morrill, that
the Senator was quite restless, and did
not seem TO be so well as this morning.
His attendant physician, DR.. Busey,
called on him twice during the morning
and will make three more visits during
the day. The Senator's attack OF pneu-
monia is such as to cause alarm, but II
is hoped that as his constitution is very
strong he will recover.
The Senator contracted cold last
Thursday, which rapidly developed into
congestion of the lungs.
This morning it was apparent in the
family that there was scarcely any
ground to hope for his recovery. The
Senator himself did not realize his con-
dftion, and although the right lung was
completely congested, he wished to go
to the Capitol to-day in order to deliver
speech upon the West Virginia Direct
Tax bill.
1t was with difficulty that his wife
and son induced him TO remain in his
bed. These signs OF vigor have served
to keep alive n faint hope OF ultimate
recovery of the Senator in the breasts
of some intimate friends; but in view OF
the fact that he is now in his sod year,
there is little tangible ground for en-
couragement.

To KILL THE SULTAN.
Two Men, Who Are Supposed to Have Con-
suired tn That End CAPTURED


LONDON, March IA dispatch from
Constantinople TO the Exchange Tele-
graph Company, states that great ex-
element has been caused there by what
the police claim is the discovery OF a
plot to assassinate the Sultan Abdul
Hamid Ii. Rumors that such plot
was in existence had come TO the knowl-
edge of the police, and every effort was
made to run the conspiratOrs TO earth.
Clue after clue was followed only 10 re-
suit in disappointment, until finally the
police almost came 10 the conclusion
that the rumor was hoax.
They, however, did not cease their
vigilence, and yesterday they were re-
warded by the capture OF two men who
are believed to have been the conspira-
tors. Information came to the ears OF
authorities that II a close watch was
kept up on the Yildiz Kose the men
who sought the death of the Sultan
might be discovered. A number OF po-
licemen were quietly dispatched TO the
Kiosk, but first they found nothing to
warrant suspicion. They made search
of the building, and in short time
discovered two men who were seeking
to hid themselves from the searchers.
These men were bounced upon and
dragged to a police station, where a
search Of their clothing revealed the
fact that each of them was armed with
revolver and a dagger. No doubt is
entertained that ii was their intention
to assassinate the Sultan.
Further details OF the conspiracy have
yet to be learned, but summary meas
ures will be taken TO compel the prison
ers to confess all they know of the af-
fair.

THE SOUTH AND THE NEGRO.

MI. JOhN IL " lbLiAAHONf VI AAoi
eigh, \. c., is a Republican, and, incl
dentally, it may be remarked that he is
a colored man and editor of the Raleigh
Gazette; and, furthermore, he is a can
didate for Congress. He demands dam
ages from the Federal Government for
the violent way in which the negroes
were set free from the help and direc-
ton Of their masters. For every negro
thus set free he demands $500 damages,
one-half to go to the negro, one-half to
his former master. : He quotes LINCOLN
in support Of his argument, and moth
ing that anyone else says has the least
effect in convincing him that he is not
hewiug exactly to the line. "My peo-
ple." he said to some Republicans in
Washington the other day, had been
hundreds Of years in slavery and you
Northern men set US free with nothing
to help US. 1t is right and proper that
you should pay $500 for each ex-slave,
and that the money should be divided
equally between the former masters and
slaves"
The st. Louis Republic thinks that
''this view is certainly to Mr.. WILLIAM
sons credit, and it is not strange that
ne should hold it. He saw the time
when masters and servants, mutually
dependent on each other, mutually help
full to each other, and mutually dear to
each other, had the bayonet Of violent
emancipation thrust between them. He
saw the time when the poor negroes
:hus thrown upon the world would have
starved but for the aid of their i'm
poverished white friends-the friends
whom they in their ignorance were be-
ing used TO render poorer and more
helpless still. 1t is not strange that he
or any other intelligent negro who saw
and who remembers this should want
damages, OF should be willing to divide
it, share and share alike, with the
white people OF the South" The Re
public adds:
But the white people of the South re
joice in nothing more than in that the Cor
dian knot they could not unite was thus
cut for them They want no damages for
being rid Of slayery-for being set free
from the everlasting serfdom of having
millions OF grown-up black children to look
after. For twenty-five years now they
have helped the negro 10 become self
governing man. They are helping him
still II is with money they have spar d
from their own hard poverty that he is be-
ing brought out of the ignorant helpless
ness in which the bayOnet left him. They
will bring MIN through his childhood 10
mans estate, and then, when ne has be-
come as fully responsible as they are, If it
could be that he was capable OF turning on
them as their enemy, he could no longer
claim from them the same tolerant charity
they have shown him in his ignorant weak
ness. But he will not be capable OF it.
They will have no frmer or more devoted
friend than he will Oe.
