WAsHISaTaS, September 2S.-secretary
Sherman has received pressing invita-
ton from the Republican Committee in
Ohio to visit that State and make ton or
twelve speeches. His long and successful
management OF the finances has given him
prestige as well as a stock Of information
that tho committee think would be yery
useful to the Republican cause in Ohio.
The Secretary has not fully determined
how much Of this invitation he will &C.
cept, but he will go home to vote, and 1t is
probable that he will reach Ohio several
days before the election and make at least
two or three speeches. He Is very conf.
dent Of Republican success, and saws that
all reports received from there increase
his confidence. He believes not only that
Foster will be elected, but that his major.
ity will be strikingly large. he thinks the
Legislature will also be carried by Inc

THE BoNAPARTIsTs AGREEING TO ACKNOWLEDGE
PRINCE JEROME AS THE HEAD OF THE MA
PoLEoNIc DYNAsTY-THE PRINCES WILL.


[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD


LONDON, July l, 1870


The correspondent of the London Times at
Paris says:-"A majority of the Bonapartists
are understood to concur with M. Rouher in
acknowledging Prince Jerome Bonaparte as
chief of the Napoleonic dynasty. They argue
that the will Of the late Prince Imperial, which
asks the ex-Empress Eugene to cooperate with
Prince Victor, was written on the assumption
that the testator would survive Prince jerome
Bonaparte This reasoning, however is consd-
cred q transparent excuse for the non-obseryance
of the impracticabe will of the Prince Imperial.
Nj. Rouher's retirement from active politics is
evidently owing to feeling that he and Prince
jerome could not act together and the latter
could not be set aside What between Prince
jerome Bonaparte's possible adherence to the
Republic and the impossibity of the clerical
section of the Bonapartists choosing leader
without either acting against the wishes of the
Prince ImperiaPs will provoking distinct
disavowal from Prince Victor, the Bonapartists
are in one of tho most perplexing positions ever
occupied by any party


WILL OF THE PRINCE IMPERIAL.


The Paris GGwlois publishes the codicil to the
will of the Prince Imperial. He says:-''The
duties which house owe to our
country will not lapse by my death; the ar
duous and glorious task of continuing the work
of the first Napoleon will depend in the event
of my death, upon the Oldest son OF Prince
jerome Napoleon. who, by the laws of success
sion of our house, is my heir trust that my
beloved mother, by seconding him in the dis
charge of the responsibilities and duties which,
in the event of my death, will devolve upon

THE fact that q former slave of
Mr.. Jefferson Davis has just been
elected Treasurer OF Warren coun-
ty, Mississippi, in which county
Vicksburgh is located, converts
into a very thin gauze the Repub-
lican sensationalism about the op-
preston the poor negro is now be-
ing subjected to in the South. The
fact Is that the South is now q Par
adise to the colored man as COM
pared with his experiences during
the carpet-bag regime. In spite of
the unmistakable frank good will
which has grown up between the
two races since 1876, the Northern
people may begin to look out for
the apparition of numerous Eliza
Pinkstons. OF all the raw head and
bloody bones stories which will be
invented from now to the Presiden-
tial election by Republican
Munchausens we may be sure that
no single one will ever be contra
dicted by journals of that party.
The election to an important office
of this ex-slave emphasizes the fact
that no colored man has ever been
similarly advanced in the Northern
States. The Republican party
loves the negro, but at convenient
distance. Down South he is an op.
pressed and interesting object. He
is an effigy upon which the "bloody
shirt may be hung to great adj
vantage. But, while he is treated
with kindness by his old masters,
he is notably neglected In the

A terrible and distressing tragedy


occurred in Eddington Township,


Rock Island country ILL.,, recently, a


brother planting bullet in beloved


sisters temple, and he falling dead by


her side from another bullet sent by


his own hand. The parties to the


tragedy were Lee and Melinda j. Rob


bins, eldest son and daughter Of a


wealthy farmer named w. w. Rob
bins. A few weeks ago the young
woman formed the acquaintance of a
young man named Thomas Richards,
to whom she became engaged, contra
ny to the wishes of her family, who
however, finally gave their unwilling
consent to the marriage, which was
appointed for to-day. The brother,
Lee, who was deeply attached to his
sister, was not advised of the intended
marriage till this morning, and when
he heard of it he swore it should not
take place. lie procured revolver
and went out to hunt for Richards,
but failed to find him. Disappointed
in this, he turned home and went up
to the room hi which his sister was
dressing for the wedding. What
passed between them is not known,
but soon the family down stairs heard
the report Of pistol, quickly follow
ed by another shot, and running up
stairs, Mr.. Robbins found his two
children lying in a pool Of blood, the
young lady dead, and the son uncon-
scious, and dying. Both were shot in
the forehead. In the case Of the girl
the bullet passed through the head.
Lee died in thirty minutes without
speaking word, and, as no papers
were left, this il probably all that will
ever be known Of the tragedy.
