FALSE SENTIMENTALITY.

L. II. Loftin, the negro appointed post
master at Hogansville, Georgia, has con-
cludeo, so the dispatches state, to accept
place under the government at Wash
ington and not take any more risks con-
nected with holding position to which
the white people of the community OBJ
lect He says he is willing to stay at
Hogansville and fight it out; but he be-
lleves at the same time that he will be
killed, and as his friends coincide in
this latter view it is said the administra-
ton will provide place for him in Wash
ington, but will prosecute his assailants
to the fullest extent of the law
We are not in favor of the method al.
legged to have been pursued by the people
Of IIogansville to rid themselves of an
Objectionable Federal office holder: but,
as every community should have n voice
in the selection of it's postmaster, we are
not prepared to say that the white citi-
zens of liogansville, who no doubt CON
tributed most largely to the support of
the postoiIice, mad no rights in the prem
lses. The lesson Of this unfortunate
affair, however, is this, that in appoint

can administration is making mistake,
which, If persisted in, Will not only
drive every self-respecting Southern
white man into the Democratic party,

There has never been time in the his

was more loyal to the Union than It is
now, but sections, like individuals.
when insults are added to injuries, are
sure in the estimate of their wrongs to
include the old ones as we'll as those of

THE NEW YORK MAYoRALTY.

The contest for the mayoralty OF
Greater New York grows in interest.
Four candidates are already in the field.
and the people of the metropolis are man :.
ifesting a degee of interest greater, so
lar as they are concerned, than they
would In national campaign. AS the
new government of the consolidated cites
will control an immense amount Of pat
ronaGe in the way of offices and other
things, the contest for supremacy will be
hot one. Just at this time it is hard to
predict what party or faction will be sue
cessful. Two candidates claim to We Re
publican and two call themselves Dem
ocrats, while the regular organizations of
the two parties say they have each. only
one candidate in the field, Chief Justice
Robert A. Van Wyck being the nominee
of the Tammany Democracy and Cen

straight or Plat Repu blicans, and Henry
George. the single tax advocate has been
nominated by what is called the United

to be Democrat, but some of his views
are too advanced to be wholly acceptable
to all members of that party, and while
President Low claims to be a Republican
many of the latter pronounce him to be a
