UNITED STATES CONSUL PAYNE at
Monrovia reports that the 1877 negroes
who left Savannah some time in March
for Liberia arrived there on the 7th of
April, and will have to be provided for
by the government of that country
The International Migration Society of
Birmingham, Ala, failed to make any
provision for them after landing them
In Africa. and now, without money and
friends. they will have to shift for
themselves in strange country. Africa
Is the natural home of the negro, but
to take him there without any chance
to enter upon the struggle for existence
Is mistaken philanthropy of the worst
kind. The experience Of those who
have emigrated to Africa will exert q
great influence on those who might
desire to go. and II they are left to starve
in that far-off land, others of their race
In this country will stay where they are
or look for fresher fields and greener
pastures.

when Judge U. S. Rose, chairman Of
the committee on resolutions, presented
platform to the effect that the South

OF sound and stable currency to be
essential to the prosperity Of the whole
country, do, through their representa-

claration OF their matured convictions:
First. That each dollar, whatever DO
its composition, shall have equal pure

every other dollar. Second. Proating
by the experience OF Washington,

THE ELECTION YESTERDAY.

The election yesterday, as was ex.
pected, passed of quietly with compar-
atively very light vote polled. In
terest, however, was keen In some of
the wards and in some instances the
contests were spirited. The Republic
cans, however, succeeded in electing
four of their candidates for Council,
which showed that personal popularity
entered largely into the contest. This
was particularly the case in the Fourth
ward, as was shown by the large vote
received by Mr.. Fl. G. Starkey, a young
and popular business man, who ran as
an independent candidate, but who is
Republican in politics.
In the Second ward Mr.. R. II. Angel,
who is asdyed in the wool Republican.
received surprisingly large vote.
Quite q number OF young Democrats
who are Mr.. Angeles personal friends
and who recognize his superior business
qualifications supported him. His
election, however, was considered hope
less By his friends from the beginning,
IS the Second ward is one OF the Demo-
cratic strongholds of the city.
In the Third ward, as was expected,
the Republicans elected both of their
candidates, Messrs. Boehm and
Hawkins. which with Mr.. Starkey
in the Fourth and Mr.. Oney in the
Fifth wards. completed their list Of
successes. In the First ward Messrs.
Guy and Fox were elected practi-
oslly without opposition, as the appear
ance Of Major B. 81. Day in the field
was not taken seriously by the opposi-
ton. Had his name been given to the
electoral board as the law required, he
would have made q good run as he is q
popular citizen.
In the Second ward Messrs Wilson
and Terry were elected by the Demo-
Gratis and Messrs. Stevenson and Coul-
bourn in Fourth and Fifth wards, ress
pectively. Altogether the selections
represent the various interests OF the
city very we'll and 1t is hoped the re-.
suits may fully vindicate the selections
made yesterday.

in the list Of tonnage, but of the Great
Europesn naval powers France makes
the worst showing, Ewith only three

three ships. Austria has four ships

Roumsnia two: Denmark two. and
Portugal and Turkey one each. The
numerous feet OF Germany will, OF

pomp and circumstance of war, without
its attendant dangers.

A DISPATCH from Jacksonville, Fla,
denies the reported death OF the Cuban
insurgenS leader Marti. 1t Is said that
he sailed from Cuba last Thursday
night for the United States and would
have left much sooner than he did but
for the vigilance of the Spanish
cruisers. If the Cuban war has not
developed any great fighters as yet on
either side, 1t has certainly produced
some firstsclass prevaricators.

very disagreeable disease are noticed very gen.
orally. The disease is an inflammation OF the
mucous membrane. Its direct cause is impure
blood. Its cure is Hoods Sarsaparilla.
