Inter Ocean : The Methodist Advo
cate, published at Atlanta, Ga., deals
Ben Hill some blowB that will make
the Georgia Senator wince. Dr. Ful
ler, the editor, having shown up the
Southern situation while in the east,
the Lowville (N. Y.) Democrat comes
back at him with a letter from Hill,
in which, of course, the assertions of
Dr. Fuller are "indignatly denied."
The editor of the Democrat, in refer
ring to the letter, sai's that Senator
Hill himself is a "well-known mem
ber of the Methodist Episcopal
Church of Atlanta, the home of Dr.
Fuller." To this Dr. Fuller sharply
responds, as follows :
Not so fast, Mr. Editor. On that
pointyou are fooled again, or seeking
to mislead others. Mr. Hill is not a
member of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and never has been, but of
the M. E. Church South. He could
not be a member of the M. E. Church
in Atlanta twenty-four hours unless
he gave indications of repentance and
reformation. He is a Jell Davis, or
Kuklux Methodist, and not one of
the sort which is fouud about Low
ville. Any one who Is able to read
and write, ought to know the differ
ence between the two Methodisms
in this country, and an editor or law
yer who cannot make this distinction
Is to be pitied for his ignorance of ec
clesiastical affairs. But the wily Ben
jamin has undoubtedly duped his
Lowville correspondents. They
should bear in mind that the Metho
dist Episcopal Church of God is not
the Methodist Episcopal Church
South of God.
Dr. Fuller proceeds to drag the
Georgia statesman -over the coals in
the following manner :
The idea that a letter of Ben Hill
can set anything "at rest,'' will cause
Georgians to smile so as to be heard
around a corner. He is not at rest
himself, but Islike the "troubled sea
when it cannot rest, whoso waters
ca9t up mire and dirt." The publish
ed testimony of Mr. Hill on the Ku-kliix-,
contains such extraordinary
statements as to lead one to apprehend
that he is so constituted as to be mor
ally incapable of telling the truth
when known to him.
In conclusion. Dr. Fuller assures in
quiring people that any one who will
examine the evidence will stand con
vinced that "thousands of murders
have been committed in the South
since the war, for political purposes,
and that Hill, Lamar, Hampton, But
ler, and other Senators and members
of Congress have been leaders in
wbolesale.olaughters, and areas bloody-handed
heforerGod and the country
as the thugs of India. '' It is evident
that Benjamin has waked up the

Orlando CaBsIer was hanged al Sew
ard, Neb., on the 20th inst., for the
murder of George L. Monroe about
the 7th of last June. The evidence
In the case was purely circumstantial
but the chain of circumstances ap
peared to be complete, leaving no
reasonable doubt that Cassler com
mitted a most foul murder, coolly and
deliberately, for the sole purpose of
gain. Yet the doomed man, in his
last utterances called upon heaven
and earth to witness that ho was
about to die for a crime he did not
commit. Just before being launched
into eternity, when asked if ho had
anything to say, he said, "Gentle
men, you see me on the scaffold about
to die for the murder of George L.
Monroe. I say before God and the
world that I am innocent." It Is a
most singular phase in the moral
nature of many who die on the gal
lows to spend their last breath by the
utterance of a falsehood. They eing,
pray, declare their peace made with
heaven, all through the hopes of a re
ligion that consigns a liar to hell, yet
they go hence with an unpardoned
He upon their lips. Cassler said he
had "found the pearl of great price,"
and the crowd around the gallows, at
his request, sang "What a friend we
have in Jesus." The statute pro
vides that hangings shall not be pub
lic, but the vast crowd that assem
bled at Seward to see Cassler executed
determined that they would not be
disappointed, aud tore down the en
closure which surrounded the soaf-
fold, so that all could see. The Sew
ardites followed the precedent set at
Minden when Richards was hung,
and these precedents will, of course,
be followed at future hangings, un
less some sheriff has cue grit to pro
tect his duty and the dignity of the
law, by preparation of a plentiful sup
ply of Armed militia.

What is called an explanation of
the inconvenient running of the Ne
braska Railway, especially from this
city to Lincoln, is publiehed in the
Nebraska City Press, and re-produced
in the Omaha Republican, said to
have been written by. Hon. J. Ster
ling Morton, who is known to be
somewhat a reflector of B. & M. Rail
road views and feelings. ,
It is claimed that the road does not
"pay" That undoubtedly 1b true.
What road in the west, except per
haps the U. P., does "pay?" What
business of any kind does "pay" now-a-days?
It does not "pay" the prop
erty holders and tax payers who have
contributed liberally to aid In con
struction of this and other roads, to
pay the bonds and interest, and yet
tho railroads and bond holders make
a wonderful outcry if short-coming
is shown in this respect. If, after all
the magnificent subsidies, National,
State and local given these railroads,
the euterpeise does not "pay," the
managers have simply shown lack of
business wisdom or foresight, in en
gaging in it, and should either not
complain, or turn over to parties who
can run the road for the public in
terest and convenience, as well as
their own.
The explanation referred to is
"thin" to say the least. How much
more will it cost to run the road so as
to have trains connect, than to not
connect, especially when there is oft
en less than an hour intervening be
tween connections? It doeB not seem
reasonable that the item of expense is
applicable as claimed.
Then as to "policy." Is it not pre
ferable to spend, or lose a few hun
dred dollars to please the public, and
keep it in good humor than to be cam
pellcd to spend thousands with legis
lative lobbies to prevent unfriendly
legislation by members whose con
stituency claim they are not fairly
dealt with, and demand "regulation?"
Railroad men do their own mana
ging, and are not often thankful for
outside advice, especially from news
papers. We charge nothing for these
suggestions give them for what they
are worth.
Secretary Sherman being uskbd 03'

Washington, D. C.,.May 13, 79.
My Dear Sir: lu view of the

the Republican candidate for Govern
or of Ohio, I have given the subject a
moat careful consideration, and have
come to the conclusion that I cannot,
In my present situation, accept Buch
nomination! tendered. lam now en
gaged in a public duty which de
mands my constant attention, and
which can be better completed by me
than by any one coming freshly into
the office. To now accept the nomi
nation for Governor, though It is an
honor I would otherwise highly prize
and feel deeply grateful for, would be
justly regarded as an abandonment of
a great trust important to the whole
country to promote my personal ad
vancement. I earnestly hope, there
fore, that the convention will not em
barrass me by the tender of a nomina
tion whioh I' would be obliged to de
cline. It may be that no such pur
pose will be manifested, but I write
you so that, if the convention should

Globe Democrat: The editor of the
Cincinnati Commercial has received a
private letter from an? authentic
source containing the following :
My information goe3 to show that
there are now encamped on the Low
er Mississippi at least 3,500 colored
people who want to get away. The
river packets refuse, if they can pos
sibly do so, to bring them away. Doz
ens of landings above and below Nat-
cnez are misseu Dy inese ooais. xne
refugees declare they will not go back.
They are eating up what little they
possess. Planters and others are
more than disposed to bulldoze them.
Every effort is made to prevent the
river men taking theRO passengers.
There will be bloodshed if this thing
goes on.
The cheapest and best way would
be to send a few strong towboats,
with bargeH alongside of them , to pick
these people up, and bring them
north. The steamboat owners will
probably get themselves into trouble
for their refusal to carry them, but
the immediate need is quick trans

get work for farm hands in Illinois,
'Kansas and Indiana a month from
now as it is at present.
The thieves who got away with a
couple of'horees at Firth, last Wedn
esday night, were captured the fol
lowing day near Tecumseh, by an old
farmer, in a very peculiar manner.
The geutlemau who lost the horses
had bills printed giving a description
of the animals. A number of these
bills were given to the engineer and
conductor of tho train which left
Firth early the next morning. They
in turn threw them out to parties
along the road. One of them fell in
to the hands of a farmer on his way
home from Tecumseh, aud he had
hardly put up his team when the
theives mounted on the stolen horses,
rode up to the door and asked for
dinner. The old gentleman recog
nized the horses atonce, and showiug
the men the stable, assisted them in
taking off the saddles and bridles,
and then invited them to the house.
When they were seated, he excused
himself for a moment, and stepped
into an adjoining room, but returned
almost instantly with a double-barreled
shotgun, both hammers up, and
demanded their surrender. The old
man had the drop on them, and tbpy
quietly succumbed. Tn a short time
one of them managed to dart out of
the door, and before the old man
could cover him with his gun, was
safe in the brush close by ; the other
went out of the back door. The farm
ers in the neichborbood were notified
that horse theives were in the timber,
and before ninht both were under ar
rest. State Journal.
It was the liberal and timely use of
"printer's ink" that led to the cap
ture of those thieves. About a year
ago, we remember, a man residing not
far from this city had a valuable horse
stolen. He entirely ignored printer's
ink not an Item in the papers ap
peared about it, not a postal card nor
hand bill was printed. We kept the
matter in mind, for the result. The
owner of the horse and some of his
friends rode several days and hun
dreds of miles, but the horse, nor any
trace of him, was ever found.

The practice of mob voilence, or

The Inter Ocean i3 requested to
publish the following extract from a
private letter from Mexico, dated May
5, which, with some other Items, It is
claimed, looks very much as if the
minority report of the Mexican ex
curtioniats was not very far from the
ruth:
On Saturday last an affair took
plac3 on a priucipal and public street,
on the way to San Cosine, which il
lustrates the state of the nation in
general, j"t happened quite near the
railroad station. Two clerks of the

them at half-past S3, or noon, in the

on the legislative bill on Thursday,
SenatorThurman devotedmost of hi
time to an attack upon the jurors'
test-oath law, quite regardless of the
fact that a Republican Congress once
repealed that act outright, and that
after the revisorB of the statutes had
reinstated it the Republican Senate of
the last Congress passed a bill provid
ing for its repeal, which the Demo

Thurman must be hard up for cam
paign capital, if he can find no better
material than this. It will neverput
him in the Presidential chair.

The Courier Journal conspicuously

Mr. Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indi

Sixteen or seventeen years ago the
government had hard work to sell its
honds bearing a high rate of interest,
Now the people crowd the postof
fices in the large cities eager to buy
low-rate interest bonds at their faee
value. In all the seventeen years the
country has been under Republican
rule, and the change represented in
the sales of bonds is a result of Repub
lican policy.
