Only few days ago some sixty colored
men lett this city for Louisiana. We are in
formed that there are drummers in the city
at present trying to get colored men to leave
the State. We have not word to say
against the colored people going wherever
they can get along the best, but they must
remember that great many of those who
left the State last year, wrote urgent letters
home to their friends for money to re-
turn. We were born here We expect
to die here We can live here if anybody
else can. The colored people can live here
just as easily as they can anywhere else, and
they had better stay here.


5ac We have reason to believe that there is a
systematic plan on foot, to decoy the colored
people from this State and Virginia, for the
purpose of weakening the Republican party,
and enable the Democracy to control both
States in the future. Believing as we do that
the interest of the colored people is here,
and that they will fare worse in other States
where they have neither friends nor ac-
quaintances, We advise them to remain
where they are.

Several influential colored citizens visited
Gov. Walker at Richmond, recently, to ask
that colored men be admitted to the jury
box. The Governor informed them that the
Legislature had not altered the old code so
as to admit of it, and ADVISED them to APP
peal to that body Exchange. 3s-f
The colored men who voted the Walker
ticket at the last election are no doubt
surprised that their loud-mouthed friends
should treat them in this manner. 1t is just
as we expected. If the same is not done in
this State, it will.be because the Democratic
party think they need the votes of colored
men to keep them in power.


The Republican party is the only true
friend of the colored race. The colorcd


people Of Virginia have found out who
are their friends in that State, and they
will vote solidly the Republican ticket.
The cloven foot will out every now and
then. It is easier for the leopard to change
his spots than it is for old political hacks
to forget that the colored man was once q
slave and that he must be treated as a MAN,
and not as hireling. sf

PROSPERITY OF CoLUMBIA.-According
ing to the Phanir, Columbia must be in a
prosperous condition. 1t says:


Columbia is pushing forward. New
buildings are going up in every direction,
and the feeling is generally expressed that
but few years will elapse ere her former
prosperity will not only be reached but ac-
tually surpassed. Carpenters and brick
layers are obtaining excellent wages and
mechanics of every. grade are in demand" J"


Columbia was once the prettiest city in
the Southern States, and we hope to live to
see the day when she will far surpass her
former -nrosnerity If her people will only
press forward, discard Old fogY sdsas, and
grasp with the present, and make the most
of the situation, there is no reason why oul
sister Capital way not be more in the future
than she was in the past.

A REPORT reaches us from French sources
that Russia is on the point of being embroi-


ed with Turkey. The news may or may
not be founded upon the truth, but it has at
least basis of probability. If the great
Cossack power can succeed in dealing a
blow at her inycterate enemy while the rest
of Europe is not looking, her purpose, enter
tained for the last two Decades is accom-
plished. While the Prussian and French
cats are away the Russian mouse can take
turn at play, with fair chance of obtaining
a nibble OF the Turkish cheese after which it
has so long hankered. In the midst of con-
Trajectory reports that this power is arming
and is not arming against Prussia, this little
item of news furnishes thread to guide us
out of the perplexity. An armament in
deed there is, but it is against the Turkish
and not against the German bugbear. rt

In Virginia the prospects for complete

and factions of the Republican party into
one solid party are eneouraging-if this is
consummated the reward will be victory.
1t is thought that such party can secure

COMMENTS.


Our correspondents do Mr.. Carver
great injustice, for We presume the
above is levelled at him.


He has been a most faithful and
intelligent member of the house, and
has not been absent ordodged vote
or responsibility during the session.
He came down last Saturday night
to visit his family and to attend to
some important business, and has
perhaps gone back to his post ofduty
by this time.


At any rate, there is not the least
probability that the State House Bill
can be taken up and passed in his
absence. 1t is away down on the
calender, and can only bo called up
in order, and when it is reached there
will be an abundance of time for Mr.,
Carver or any other member from
any part of Iowa to reach his place
before the final vote is taken.

Gail Hamilton writes in Hqrbey-'s Ba-


gar


Ely swiftly round, ye wheels Of time,


and bring the day when society shall


have settled upon some general street


dress, simple, graceful, convenient and


unchanging, and shall leave to individ-


ual taste only choice of material, color,


and subordinate details. Then you


shall not have to alter except to freshen.


Then you shall be pointed or rounded
or squared according to your liking, and
shall stay so. Then you shall not spend
your time in pulling off last years satin,
or your money in putting on this year

shall be sat in till it is frayed out of


existence.


But even as things are we are very
comfortable. l have thought, indeed,
that We were verging towards the mil
lennium of dress. Barring the excess of
trimming, It seems to me there never
could have been a time when dress was
more favorable to women than it is now.
With rubber boots and waterproof for
storms, with light, picturesque hats, with
small, short skirts and sleeved over-gar-
ments, and breath permitting bodices,
and styles so various that scarcely any
thing is strikingly questionable, what
doth hinder that a woman should eat
and drink, and walk and be merry ?
Newspaper people. indeed, talk Of a
dress reform; but there shall no reform
be given them save the gradual reform
/ have suggested, and that will come
and only as we slowly
gain more cultivation and higher and
finer life. Our dress now is fully up to
our social life.

At the late reunion and banquet of
the Army of the Cumberland held at


Cleveland, Ohio, General Sherman re-
sponded to the toast From Chattanooga
to Atlanta-One Hundred Days Under
Fire" AS his speech was delivered at
late hour, the reports are quite imper-
feet. We quote from the Herald:


II well remember that morning in
May when over the telegraph was fash
ed to me the order for the Army to
move. We advanced in three armies,
bearing directly down upon Joe John
stOn, at Dalton. We all remember when
we first saw upon those hills the first
blue puffs of smoke from the rifles of
the skirmishers, followed by the boom
of the cannon, which told that the bat
tie had begun. From that time till the
last gun Of the campaign was fired, one
hundred and nineteen days, it was one
unceasing battle. Not only was the
rifle our reveille, but the cannon in the
distance soothed us to sleep at night,
and when the sound was hushed we
awoke from sleep. So long as the fir
ing OF the pickets told US that they were
awake we were secure, but when all was
quiet we felt disturbed and anxious.


Il wish had time, and it were aP-
propriate for me, to follow in detail the
of those armies throughout
the whole of that devious campaign, ov-
er mountains, across streams, and
through those dense woods and thickets.

CHICAGO, October l7.-At about four
o'clock this morning as the Pacific Ex-
press train, which left New York on
Saturday night over the PENNSYLVANIA
Central and Pittsburgh and Chicago
railroads, reached crossing about ten
miles east of Valparaiso, Indiana, it
was suddenly thrown from the track by
the displacement OF rail and the loco
motive and a second class passenger
car were precipitated down an embank-
ment some fifteen feet. The engineer,
Samuel Schlagle, and fireman, l.. Han
cock, were buried under the engine. 1t
took an hour or more to dig them out
Schlagle died in a few minutes after be-
ing rescued and Hancock was SO badly
injured that he could survive but few
hours at most. The passengers in the
second-class car were all more or less
hurt, but none seriously. No one was
injured in the frst-class and sleeping
coaches 1t is pretty certain that the
accident was caused by the removal Oft
rail from the track by man living near
in revenge for the loss of COW which
had been killed by a train, and for
which the railroad company declined
to pay for.

When the bridegroom is presented the
whole house rs in confusion; all the rela-
tions, friends and neighbors on both sides
are invited to the house of the bride. When
all the expected company are assem- bled,
the matchmaker comes in leading the
bridegroom by the hand, and going straight
to the head of the house, presents him. The
brides father then leads the young man to
table covered with white cloth; on the
table is a silver Salver with loaf of bread
on it, and on the bread salt cellar with
salt. Two rings, one Of gold, the other of
silver, are placed on small silver tray be-
fore golden image of the Virgin Mary
holding the child Jesus in her arms. With
this image they bless the future couple
All the company stand; the mother holds
the bride, completely dressed in white, by
the hand, surrounded by all her dearest
friends and companions. All bow before
the image. The father takes the image,
the mother the bread and salt; the young
couple then kneel under the image, and
are first blessed by the father; the lat
ter then takes the bread and salt from
the hands of the mother and gives her the
image, and the same ceremony is repeated.
After this the father and mother of the
bridegroom do the like. Then comes the
giving of the rings; the brides father gives
the golden ring to the bridegroom, the sill
yer one to the bride. They are now affi-
anced to each other, and give each other
the first kiss. When the ceremony is over,
the company enjoy themselves; they chat,
laugh, eat and drink, and separate, after
having fixed the day for the marriage.


During the interval between this ceremo.
ny and the marriage the bridegroom spends
all his evenings with the bride, often tete-
a-tete. The marriage ceremony follows.
1t is also called the coronation, because,
during the ceremony, q crown is placed
on the heads of the affianced. Then
the priest offers them a cup of wine, of
which they both drink, as q sign of the
union they have contracted. A solemn
procession is led by the officiating priest,
the bride and bridegroom following
round the desk placed in the centre of the
church, upon which is laid the Bible. This
is meant to represent the joys which await
them, and the eternity of these ties. Dur
ing the public celebration of the marriage
the rings worn by the young people are ex-
changed; the husband now wearing the
silver one the bride the golden. From the
church all the company are invited to go to
the house of the bridegrooms father. A
week after they return to church, when the
priest lifts the crown from their heads.
This is the final conservation of the mar
rage
