Dr. William AujjuHtri" Muhlenberg
recently died In New York at the nd
'vanced age of 81 years. He was the
author of the good old song. "I would
not live always."
Hampton proposes to repudiate the
debt of South Carolina. That old
leader of the Mississippi kukiux is
neither an honest man, astatesmau or
a gentleman. And his leading ad
herents are of the same dirty btripe.
War has begun in earnest between
Turkey and Russia. Two or three
small battles are reported and both
bides claim victories. The Turks, we
believe gained the first battle. Other
nations are remaining neutral as yet.
The firm of May & Co. of Boston ,
the largest house in metals and hard
ware of that city have suspended,
vith liabilities at $600,000. The fail
ure occurred through had debts and
general shrinkage during the past
four3'ears. Their own indebtedness
ia principally in Pennsylvania and
- abroad.
If GovernorXicholIs of Louisiana is
true to the promises made to our Re
publican President to carry out Repub
lican principles, he will ere long meet
with formidable opposition in the
Democratic party of Mb own State.
The bloody white leaguers will not
tamely submit to be changed I13' sleight
of hand into decent Republican citi

lias been appointed Collector oT the
port of New Orleans. He was a Su
preme Judge under Kellogg and a
nupporter of Packard. The recognl-
tion of Nicholls and Hampton as Gov
ernors of their respective States, are
about all the political favors the Dem
ocrats will receive from President
Hayes.
Wo note the appointment of O. H
Irish. Jvq.. or .Nebraska City, as a-
Fistantsuperintendent of the bureau of
eneravlngand printing In the treasury
department at Washington. Mr. Irish
was one of the early settlers of Neb
raska and has held position of honor
and trut which he ha faithfully
filled. The Republican commends
the annnlntment as one 'fit to be
made." Omaha, Republican.
So does the Advertiser. We al-
wa3's thought Mr. Irish a gentleman
worthy of the confidence and trust of
tbeGovernmentortho people.
The Ohio State Journal comes to the
defense of President Hayes, and says:
'The man dose not live who is more
earnestly anxious for the welfare of
the loyalists of the South, white and
black, than the President, and no
man will do morp or'sacriflce more to
promote that welfare.'
We believe the Journal is correct ;
but can't see how the President can
do anything to promote the 'welfare
of the loyalists of the south,' however
much they may be oppressed without
being asked to do so constitutionally
asked. Ab theNew Orleans Republi
can pertinently saj's :

in Alaska, and the presence of troops

Is suspended and meetings were held
morning and evening in the churoh-
C8.
Other countries also, have their su
perstitious notions. The London
Times says, that on the recent eclipse
of the moon the Turks at Constanti
nople were reported to have fired guns
according to traditional custom, in or
der to frighten the dragon devouring
luminary into releasing its prey. A
Jetterfrom Cona'nntlnopleln the. Tour
nal de Geneve reoord another illustra
tion of Oriental belief. It tates that
the opening of the new Parliament
was postponed, not. as represented, to
give the Deputies time to arrive, but
because the astrologer of the seraglio,
reported atrainst the original date and
recommended not onl3 the day, but
the precise hour of the ceremony.
Those who are disposed to complain
of what they derisively terra
"The President's Polity" toward
the South, will do well to
refresh their memories by reference
to his speeches during his last Gub
ernatorial canvass; the last Republi
can National Platform ; his letter of
acceptance, and his inaugural. He
has done, and Is doing, just what he
eald ought to be done in his famous
speech at Marion Ohio, July 1875;
just what the National Republican
Platform pledged should be done;
just what he said In his letter of ac
ceptance, and Inaugural, he would do;
fust the only thing be could and
ought to do ; just what the greatmass
of lbs feopla in this country, outside!
political trimmers, demand he should
do. The day is passed when political
platforms, like rail car platform,
"are net made to stand upon while
the train is under way." Mr. Hayes
proposes, in good faith, to fulfill prom
ises. It Is the dawning of a new day
in politics, and Is the harbinger of
National peace, prosperit' power and
strength. Let the people rejoice, and
the political tricksters, falsely assum
ing to be politicians, stand from un

A Time Columbia special says the
6tronget efforts are being made to se
cure the aid of the President to stop
the proTentlon of lhn?e engaged in
the Ellerton and Hamburgh riots.
Resolutions are now before the senate
charging that Hip prosecution is a po
litlsal one. and requpnting the Presi
dent to stop if. In furtherance of his
policy of cnnoiliatii n. Telegram.
Those "riots" mire properly term
ed negro masncres occurred long be
fore the Presidential campaign open
ed ; yet they were political, so far as
the Democrats were concerned. They
were killing urgroes, and perpetuat
ing the reicn of terror, preparatory to
the campaign. We have no idea that
the President will have anything to
do with the matter, but pprmlt the
law to take Its course. That South
Carolina legislature fears that if the
prosecution of the leader of the Ham
burg massacre is pressed, he will go
into the penitentiary instead of the
U. S. Senate. Butler ought to he im
prisoned for life or hanged, but the
Democrats, as a token of their appre
ciation of his services as a leuder of
mobs against unarmed negroes, eleot
ed him to the Senate, an they do not
want him prosecuted.
The country Is sick of polities, and
wants paee. If this Hayes policy
secures the anticipated peace, and is
followed by a revival of business and
prosperit3 no politician can stand
nut against it; if It proves a failure
the President must hear the conse
quences, and the Sonth remain the
theatre of turmoil. The part of wis
dom Is now to stifle part3" feeling, and
wait for the result. The policy Is now

Kansas Chief.
These ideas accord with our own.
and we believe with those of a large
majority of Republicans throughout
the country. Whatever the result of
the President's Southern policy ma3'
be, the Republican party Is responsi
ble for it. Give it a fair trial. If
Niobolls and Hamptoirdo In good
faith what they have agreed to do If
the3 administer their governments
with a view to the rights of all, white
and black, as citizens, ignore the "col
or line" and "go back" on the Demo
cratic doctriue of "a white man's gov
ernment'' exclusively, and protect
and foster free schools for the children
of both races, the doctrine of the Re
publican party, in these respects will
be carried out, and the party have the
credit and honor of accomplishing
these things. And if the policy Is a
failure, made so by these Democratic
Governors violating tho pledges se
cured and trusted in by a Republican
President, the Republican party will
have to-bear tbebiame for suehTalP
ure. Therefore all Republicans
should, as a matter of duty, wish the
experiment of the President success,
he being the executive officer they
have chosen to bring good to the peo
ple, of the South espeoially as they
promised in their platform and all
their speeches. And the party should
assist the President by its power and
moral support iu bringing succesful
results if possible. Many may have
no faith In the policy, because they
have no faith in the promises of old
leaders of the ku-klux and White
league, yet they should at least, "wait
for the result." It Is possible, if not
probable, that Hampton and Nicholls
and other old promulgators of the
"white line" idea have seen their er
ror and the necessity of reforming
politics in that respect, and will per
form their promises by adopting and
carrying out the Republican idea of
education and political equally.
blnce writing the toregomg we are
encouraged in the latter idea express
ed, by finding the following in the
New Orle-u.s Republican : "Mr.
Nichols was nominated in opposition
to this extreme white league element.
He represents the conservatism of
capital and industry. He represents
those who believe in the policy of pro
tection and development of the Re
publican pirty. Whatever the state
administration ruay call itself, its pub
lished professions are republican. It
stands pledged to the whole inaugural
policy of Ha3'es, ar.d among these
measures will be found a separation of
executive and legislative patronage
and a civil service reform. There is
an early and inevitable issue at hand
in whioh the maintenance of those
pledges will be invoked.''
What will be the result to the col
ored voters? They will never again
be heard of as a political element. Uu
der the exigencies of the present we
have seen a small consideration ex
tended to the colored element, but wo
know the undercurrent of discontent
that barel3' endures this equivocal rec
ognition until the exigency shall have
passed away. Then we may expect
that the satirical appointments upon
the board of education will be with
drawn and the democracy will be left
In possession of the whole government
without the powers of appeal on the
part of the citizens, and with the ex
press renunciation of an3' power to in
tervene or protect by the federal ex
ecutive. The actual majority of the

caliy denied anv participation in the
government of the state or parishes

The price of their obedienoe will be

ODR BLACK HILLS LETTER.
Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser.
Deadwood, April 25th. '77.
Thinking that you would like to
hear from the Black Hills I will try
to write you something suitable for
publication.
Times are quite lively at this place;
as much so as many people, of every
nhade and grade of morulity can make
it. There Is but one street in the
town, and that is alive with men from
morning until midnight. A large
number of them may at any time be
peeii on the street swearing and curs
ing as they go staggering along from
the effects of bad whisky spending
the little money brought herewith
them.
The placer mines are not being
worked here yet, but active operations
will soon commence. Quartz is being
worked with good success. Some
mines are citangiug hands, while
some are held too high to makeasale.
This is the time for representing
claims, and there is a general move
from one crpek to another where mi
ners have different claims in different
districts to at attend the miners'
courts. This will last for two weeks
and perhaps longer.
As you would probably like to
know how representing is done, on
the day the gulch is thrown opeu, I
will try to describe It. In the first
place, all the numbers of the claims
are fcet down, commencing with num
ber one and running up, with claim
ant's name attached to the number;
and if the man is present at the meet
ing he signs his name opposite the
number of his claim. Those claims
not represented are considered open
for relocation and liable to be jumped.
There were five such here to-day.
The next thing in order was set
tling disputed claims. The first one
settled was White of Nevada against
Murphey, of Brown ville. Nebrabka.
It appears that the case was tried at
the time the gulch was laid over last
fall, and decided in Murphey'd favor.
But White not being, then present, lie
got a hearing to-day and beat Murph
ey out of his claim, unjustly.
There was quite a number of dis
putes settled, but owing to drunken
men who wanted to do all the talk
ing, and was doing all of it, the meet
ing was adjourned to 10 o'clock to
morrow a. in., and will continue from
day to day until all disputes are set
tled. Battle Creek ia a verj' good camp, as
there is only two claims opened as
3'et, and there is but little known as
to the extent of the mines, but one
man cleaned up $S0 to oneda3''s work
one man shoveling in and one bail
ing water. There is a dr3' gulch comes
in 011 the left hand side of the gulch,
that pa3's wages. On Sunday's the
men go down to Haywood, get on a
drunk, spend their money, and then
go back to "rustle" for more.
Custer City Is rather dead at the pres
ent time, and is only kept up by tho
emigration.
Prospecting on French Creek has
beeu a failure, ando.bed.-rookjbund.
'If "beats" all who "tackle" it : but
there is no doubt that there Is gold at
the bottom If It could be got at.
Spring Creek is being prospected
with good indications of success, as
there are two drain ditches being run
to bed-rock on the creek, and one of
them is well along at the present and
will probably be; finished In three
weeks or less time.
Ca3t'eton ha3 about forty houses
two stores one of them kept b3' Joe
Heady, of Browuville. Murphey has
a part of his saw mill in town, but
where he he is going to set it I did
not learn. There is a'post office here
and a postmaster appointed, but no
contract let for canning the mail.

Beatrice is having sheep shearing
festivals. Sheep-shearing festivals are
almost as good for this sheepless coun
try as tree planting festivals are for
this treeless county. Omaha Her
ald. In answer to this sneer the Fair-
bur3' Gazette says:
If the Herald would keep quiet it
wouldn't show its ignorance. It is
probably not aware that the counties
of Saline, Gage and Jefferson contain
about thirty thousand sheep, aud that
they-the sheep aforesaid-are nearly
all of tho finest grades obtainable.
The sheep shearing festivals alluded
to are held under the auspices of the
Southern Nedraska Shpep Breeders'
and Wool Growers' Asssciation, which
has a large membership in the coun
ties above named, and one of thesp fes
tivals will be held at Beatrice on Wed
nesdays next. May 2d.
The Herald may turn up its no?e if
it chooses at the thoughts of the thing,
but at the same time the sheep own
ers of Southern Nebraska will contin
ue to improve and increase their flocks,
and lend ever3' encouragement tooth
ers who may wish to engage In the
same branch of industry. Wool grow
ine is already bpooming of consider
able importance in this section, and
it is fair to presume that the day is
not far distant when sheep will be
"king" In Southern Nebraska.

Colonel Thos. Wentworth Higgln
son, one of the Old Guard of abolition

from Newport, R. I., and says :
"I wish tobecouuted as one who

servidey theaotion of the president In
withdrawing garrisons from the state
bouses of South Carolina and Louisi
ana. For him in timeof peace to keep
troops in any state house, in order to
determine the disputed claim of the
governorship, iB a stretch of power so
great that no state in theTJuion ought
to tolerate It so great that It ought to
bereslsted'by every peaceful means of
all people in the republic. Tho colored
men of the south can least afford to
benefit hyany arbitrary stretch of pow
er which may In other hands be used
to crush them."
The President Is reported to have
said that if Kellogg was legally enti
tled to a seat in the Senate at the time
the Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections reported that be was,
he is certainly entitled to the seat now

in his opinion, to invalidate any one's
legal rights. Judge Spofford, who re
ceived the vote of the Louisiana Leg
islature for Senator, on Tuesday, Is the
