HENRY BLACKMAN, the negro
postmaster at Brookhaven, Miss,
while at negro picnic, declared
that too much colored blood had
been shed, and that in the future
the blood of the whites must flow
like water. His speech was of a
character so incendiary that his
auditors forced him from the stand,
and on his returning to his home he
was pushed off the railroad train

II The checklist scheme yet attempted by
Atchsou, is the effort to prevail upon the
Democratic Convention not to nominate q can
didate for Congress, but to give the field to
Guthrie. Atchison will find that she is pretty
light weight, when few of her disappointed
politicians think that they can use an entire
party in the Congressional District as machine
for their benefit. But the truth is, if the Demo-
Gratis make no nomination, it will aid Phillips
more than Guthrie. A large majority of the
Democrats of the District are Greenback men, as
is Col. Phillips, and would support him in pref
ereuce to any other Republican. So that Col.
Phillips has the "dead wood" on being elected,
no matter what the Democrats and bolters may
do.

MIssoURI.-In calculating the general result,
Missouri is always conceded to the Democrats.
But the Republicans of that State are not will
ling to be thus counted whipped. They say they
believe they can carry the State, and they are
going to try to do it. They feel confident of
electing five ont of the thirteen Congressman,
and think they have at least chance for two
more. They have strong State ticket, while
the Democracy are unfortunate in having the
steamboat hero at the head of their ticket. At
the last election, when the Republicans were di-
vided and apathetic, and the Liberals were all
against them, the Democratic majority in the
State was less than 10000. Now the Republi-
cans are united and enthusiastic, and of the Lib
eral vote of 10000, a majority are with the Re-
publeans. 1t will therefore be seen that Mis-
souri, is not so hopeless she is generally
garded.

Two Of our citizens who were abroad
this last summer-Mr. John Bishop and
Mr.. Lewis Jones-report that in England
the people are very largely anxious to sec
the Democratic Presidential nominees
elected in this country this fall. They
look upon the Democracy a. the oppo-
ncnts Of protective tariff and upon the
Republicans as the advocates OF such
tariff, and they ascribe not a little Of their
present business depression to the fact
that they are shut out from the American
markets by the duties levied by Repub.
lican Congress. They have Seen that Mr..
Morrison, the Democratic Chairman Of
the Committee OF Ways and Means in the
present Congress, did, at the late session,
mAsarc bill materially reducing the
present duty on English iron, and upon
other articles OF English manufacture,
and they hope that il the Democracy
come into power this fall that the MOrri-
son taritfwill be substituted for tho pres
eatRepublican tariff, and that thus their
depressed industries will revive through
sdemand from this country for English
products.


This is the reason why all over Eng
land you hear the leading people hoping
al this time that Tilden and Hendricks
will be elected President and Vice Presi.
dent Of the United States. They expect
to be able to sell their goods in this coun-
tty after Democratic triumph by means
Of a lower schedule OF duties-such d
schedule as Mr.. Morrison prepared dur
ing the late session Of Congress. As long
As the existing tariff remains they have
no hopes of regaining possession Of
our market, and they do not look for n
change in their favor until the Republic
cans are defeated.

power in 1861 it found the government OF
the United States, with an Indebtedness
Of less than 100 millions, living beyond
i.s income. It found that the govern
ment in order to meet current expenses
was compelled to issued notes bearing
interest equivalent to l2 per cent per
annum, and to sell its 8 per cent bondsas
a discount of II per cent, on their par
value. Now, however, under Republi-
can rule, notwithstanding debt Of over
1000 millions, the credit OF the govern
ment is so good that it eau convert its 0
per cent bonded debt into bonds bearing
only ~ per cent interest, and sell these
latter at par in geld. There is a contrast

woman dwelt alone in little cottage on

An INcIDENr.-Not many years ago,
certain miners working far under
ground, came upon the body of poor
fellow who had persisted in the suffocat-
ing pit some forty years before. Some
chemical agent to which the body had
become subjected--an agent prepared
in the labratory of natnre-had efec-
tually arrested the progress of decay.


They brought it up to the surface, and
for awhile, till thoroughly exposed to
the atmosphere, il lay the image of q
fine, sturdy young man. No couvul-
sions had passed over the face in death
the features were tranquil; the hair was
black as Jet No one recognized the
face-a generation had grown up since
the miner went down into the shaft for
the last time. But a tottering cid wo-
man who had hurried from her cottage
at hearing the news, came up, and she


knew again the face which through all
these long years she had not forgotten.


The miner was to have been her hus-
band on the day after that on which he
died. There were no dry eyes when
the old gray headed pilgrim cast herself
upon the youthful corpse and poured
into its deaf ear many words Of endear-
ment unused for forty years. 1t was a
touching contrast; the one 30 old, the
other so young. They had both been
young these long years ago, but time
had gone on with the living, and stood
still with the dead,-London, Herald. &.
