BEARNS RAN AMUCK.
Tale of n CoIored Man. n Knife and
Pistol.

Henry Bearns. colored. was wandering
about the city last night armed to the
teeth with pistol and a knife. At Four
teenth Street and Ohio Avenue he en-
countered two young men, and started
after them. They resented his language
and he drew the pistol. The white men
disarmed him and he then drew the knife
At that moment Policeman LYDIA came
up and put Bearns under arrest.
For carrying concealed weapons Judge
kimball this morning assessed Bearns
$50. in default of which SEN
tence of sixty days was imposed. An ad-
ditional charge of disorderly conduct re-
suited in fine of s. and a SEN
tence of ten days in the workhouse.

vIRGIN1A's coLoRED TROOPS.
Ready to He Musterei I'm With Their
COIored Officers.

A Richmond dispatch states that the
two ba-talions Of colored troops have been
fully recruited. and the governor has
notified the War Department that they
are ready to be mustered into service
The governor of Virginia said yesterday
that he had had many persons to volun-
tarily commend him for his course with
reference to these soldiers. 1t is not the
executives intention to take the Shout
der-straps from any of the officers in the
colored troops. He does not believe that
he has right TO take such action. and
says that in doing SO he would be violat-
ing his oath of office.
Gov. Tyler is opposed as much as any
one TO the policy of giving colored troops
officers of their own race. But they have
these officers. and they were chosen in ac-
cordance wiki provisions made by the
general assembly. The Naile-Gaines
case has been used as an illustration TO
prove that the executive has the right
to take the colored officers commissions
from them. His EScellency, speaking of
this matter said the cases We're not at
all similar. The line officers Of the reg
iment all joined in a request that Col.
Nalle be commissioned to command the
regiment Were the colored soldiers to
request that white officers be given to
them. then the question would assume
a different phase. The governor did not
call on the President last week TO confer
with him about the expediency of send
ing the colored troops to war with their
own officers His mind was made up on
that subject when he came to Washing
ton He informed the President of what
he intended doing. and made request
that the colored soldiers be used in such
n way that they would not come into
contact with the whites. The President
assured him that this would be done.
About forty men. who enlisted at the
recruiting station at Richmond, left yes
terday for Jacksonville. to join the Sec
ond Regiment. among them being Mr..
Robert O'Ferrall, son of ex-Gov. Charles
T O'Ferrall.

Martinsburg, w. Va, June 1.-THE dis
appearance of DIR. c. P. Taylor, who left
home Wednesday to visit a patient and
did not return, is still a mystery. Search
ers spent the day dragging Opequon
Creek and securing the country in the
vicinity of the place where his horse and
buggy were found, but failed entirely of
their object. The general thought now
is that he left here on a midnight train
This belief Is based on the statement of
three persons who say they saw him walk
ing into town about II o'clock on the night
he disappeared.

Raise the Grade.
EDITOR OF The TIMES,
BUTLER, Mo.

BUTLER, Mo.
Dear Sir:-It is rumored around
town that Prof. Richardson will not
run the Academy the next year, and
that he has reached this conclusion
because the institution is not a
financial SUCCESS. This has been the
experience of every one who has had
charge of this institution for a great
many years SO that we may as well
abandon the idea of having an
Academy disconnected from our
public school in this town Under
our system of education IN the state
of Missouri there is now no longer
any room for an academy of the kind
and character that at one time in the
history of our state was a necessity.
The up.to-date high school has
taken the place of the academy as
a preparatory school,
What is the reason We cannot
pull together and raise the grade of
our public school 50 as to make it
matriculate with the University
Harrisonville, Nevada, Carthage and
Clinton and great number of towns
no better than Butler have high
schools where the students go d.
rsctly from them to the University
on the grades given them in such
high schools, but we are about one
aud half or two years behind. 1t
seems to me that the boys and girls
OF Butler ought to have as good
school facilities as are TO be had in
towns. Can't you urge
this upon the attention of our school
board and get them to raise the
grade heref -"
