that we can draw from the whole case is that
the negroes were unnecessarily incensed and

which might have been occasioned in Penn
sylvania twenty years ago, when Judge Black
used to deal out very stern justice to the neg
roes and comparatively mild punishments tt
the whites for the same grade of offences
Outside Of this view of the case there was NJ
race issue at Austin at all, and the appearance
upon the scene of the military company from
Memphis was absurd Our correspondent

previous troubles were equally insignificant

The St. Michaels Comet goes off in high
dudgeon over what We said last week about
the hanging of the boy Smith at Easton. We
said it was pompous display over revalting
spectacle, and so it was. if the reporters are to
be believed whose accounts we read The ar
ray of soldiers and other paraphernalia of the
useless procession only served to allure the
populace on tc the spectacle of taking human
life and thus harden their feelings to a sight
that might otherwise have been too REVEALING
for many to have looked at. 1t was more of a
frolic than funeral, as all public executions
are, whether at Elston or anywhere else. Our
criticism was against public executions and
against this needless guiding of the event in a
law-abiding town. We intended no reflections
upon any individual and when the Comet goes
into defence of some by name, the defence
is against its own imaginings, not against any
thing we said.

TRIED TO DRowN HIMSELF Tuesday
afternoon of last week, VIM. L. Campbell,
formerly proprietor of Fox%els Hotel, this
town, and now lessee of the bar at Collins
Beach, tried to drown himself there by jump
ing into the river. The steamer Arid was at
the pier, on her upward trip, and MIR. e. was
noticed in an excited conversation with his son
William, the clerk of the boat. Shortly the
two separated, when the father jumped from
the pier into the water lie was under the in
fuence of whisky, and seemed so inflated as tC
be unable to sink line was thrown to him
but he refused to grasp it. Parties from the
boat finally rescued him, and he was taken tt

he made another attempt to get overheard
saying he was tired of life. His rashness wa
attributed to excessive drinking.

From the Lynchburg (Va.) Republican,
a misnomered Democratic sheet, we learn
that the Confederate flag" is still dis
played on the James river; but CORE
spondent of that paper explains that it
floats from the staff of boat ''rowed by
" two rebel boys and steered by an urchin
&" of four" We want no better evidence
than this of the insincerity of the professions
of a return to loyalty of particular indtVid-
uals interested in this foolish display of the
emblem of treason against the General
Government. When parents write COM
munications to the press, in which they
deliberately characterize their children as
'srebel boys" we cannot deny the charge
so frequently made that the people Of the
South, or rather certain classes of them,
still yenerate the 'lost cause" so much as
to seek to perpetuate the fallacious and
reasonable theories of the rebellion with
the rising generation. 1t is said that the
display of the flag in question will do no
harm, that it is a meaningless tribute to an
exploded and almost forgotten sentiment
and that it is not worthy of public attention
and discussion; but the truth is that four
year old boy, "whose curly head now rests
| in the folds of a tiny Confederate flag, "
may grow to be q man whose strong arm
and earnest desire may be devoted to the
success of that flag within the lifetime of
those who are now resting after the bloody
contest of our late civil war under quiet
belief that their victory over the rebelsof the
South was complete. GAS the twig is bent
the tree will grow" is an old, true,
and, to this case, a pertinent saying
It is so pertinent that we cannot fail to
find in it reason for the belief that the four
year-old, as well as his two rebel brothers,
have been taught to revere the doctrine OF
secession and 10 deride the sentiment Of true
LOYALTY. But the incident suggests some
things connected with the homesteads and


iresides of the Southern people. 1t shows
too plainly that in this case at least the
teachings of one freside are not in accord
with the public professions of its head. 1t
shows further determination on the part
of a representative of the so-called upper
class, the ''chivalry" of the State OF Nir'
ginia, not to abandon the theory of seces'
sion, and taken in connection with the well
defined opposition of the Gentleman
party'' of the State to the principles Of Re
