It will always bo agreeable to mo If local authorities acting upon their own sense of duty maintain the public order In such n way that olMccrs of the United States shall have no occasion to nppcal for the Intervention of the general government , but when this Is not done I shall deem It my duty to use the ndcquuto powers vested In the executive to mane it safe nnd feasible to hold and exercise the ofllees established by the federal constitution , and the laws nnd means used In this case were In my opinion lawful and necessary and the ofllcers do not seem to Imvo intruded upon nny private right In executing the warrants placed In their hands. "The letter dated August , last , which ap pears In the correspondence submitted , up- { tenting to mo to intervene- for the pro tection of the city of Cedar Keys from the brutal violence of Cottrell , It will bo noticed was written before the nptoint ) > ment of the now collector.

The report of United States Deputy Mar shal Estrange says that be and Captain Smythe of the revenue cutter McLauo were victimized by the people , who foiled them several times In their offiwts to capture Cot trell. The captain of a steam launch de manded $ . * > ( ) n dav for tbo u.4o of bis vessel to mnko n trip up tbo Suwoneo river , whore it was believed Cottrell was hiding , when $10 n day would linvo been a blit price. After Marshal Mitchell's release he was reinstated in ofllec , so one may safely Infer that the pollev of Mayor Cottrell bad been fully endorsed. The attorney general has been misinformed in the matter of our searching dwellings unlawfully. In every instance I asked permission , which 1 am pleased to say was readily if not cheer fully given. I have been religiously scrupu lous on this point. But the rabble will talk and bluster. "Tho rcx > rts of Captain Smythe of the Mo- LanoandJ. II.

Pinkerton savs : ' 1 had heard Cottrell say that United States Attorney Stripling would not prosecute him , as they were particular friends , nnd I must say that Stripling dis couraged my action in the matter and ud- vlscd mo to wait until Cottrell had made fnither demonstrations , and then to take a shot gun and shoot him if he interfered.

After much discussion ' the conference * urgoft .education as the key note of the situation , i Judge Tourgco made the opanlng speech of the session on "Tlie Negro's View of the Unco Question , " taking occasion to present Resolutions much moro radical than those of the com mittee. Ho was followed by Hon. Andrew White , who believed in the no.icoful .solution of the race problem nnd Incidentally regretted the defeat of the Blair bill. Other spoakoiy were General Brlnkcrhoff of Ohio , General O. O. Howard of New York nnd Mrs. Edna II. Dean Chcaney of Boston. Bishop Henry Andrews of Now York closed the morning session with an encouraging re port of the worjof the Methodist church In the south. At the closing session tonight n lengthy set of resolutions was adopted. They recite the encouraging progress of the negro race nnd say that no other race bus ever made such industrial progress In twenty-five years. "Much remains to be done , but there is n steady material nnd men tal Improvement in the race and the growing tendency to self help on their part gives hope. W believe the welfare of the negro requires that the negro shall live in relations of good will and confidence with his white neighbors , nnd only on principles of justice can such re lations bo maintained. To this end the con ference recommends : 1. "Increased facilities for industrial trainIng - Ing , not only in the trades , but especially In improved agriculture and for girls in house hold duties. We believe In education nnd urge all school authorities to use industrial train ing , not in order to make the negro a mere toiler , but to make u nobler manhood nnd womanhood by the discipline of intelli gent labor. 2. "Tho family Is God's unit of society. The Christian home Is the great clvilizer. Ulti mately in the homes of the colored people the problem of the colored race will bo solved. The girls and women of the race must deter mine the character of the negro homes. All influences which tend to purity , Intelligence and the beauty of the homo and the ennobling of the women of the negro race should bo sys tematically fostered. Wo believe the 0110- room cabin Is the social curse of the negro race , as Is the tcpeo of the Indian and the overcrowded tenement * rooms of our city's slums. The conference earnestly urges the upbuilding of a wholesome , cleanly , in telligent , Christian home , nnd the Inculcation of sound temperance principles. 3. "We recognize most gratefully the noble work for the education of our race already done by the people of the states whore live most of our colored follow citizens , but this is only a good beginning. The common schools should lie made more effective. A greater number of colored tciicncrs must be moro efficiently trained at additional normal schools. Higher education must bo open to the most capable negroes. In a thoroughly Christian education Is our hope for this race as for all other races. 4. "To develop n character of true man hood nnd womanhood is the object nliko of education , free government and Christian civilization. Wo especially urge upon all who deal with the negro that they so deal as to promote a self reliant morality. The trcdit system with store pay and a lien upon crops has so uniformly been bhown to bo harmful that we urge its avoidance wherever possi ble. ble.fl. fl. "To promote those habits of thrift pro ductive of economy , whicli must underlie the acquisition of property nnd ownership of land ns well ns all advncc in civilization , we urge the establishment by the United States government of a postal savings system. " 0. For tbo attainment of these ends wo loot : to the enlightened Christian sentiment of tbo people of all parts , of our country , to tbo unselfish service of helping the negro to help himself and education In morality and in re ligion nnd thus In civilization and in Illness for citizenship. We fraternally invite nil fel low citizens of whatever race who love their ' " country and their Savior. " FIEI.lt Jt.lY .IT < lIllXXETTj. The Inter-CoIlcKiato Athletic Associa tion Hold * Forth.

C.umuoi : , 111. , JunoO.--fSpcelal Telegram to THK IUn. : ] Never since the heartless murder of old Dr. Pearson In Augusta , Han cock county , 111. , has this community been so shocked nnd wrought up as It has over the mysterious dlsnpi > caranco of pretty Kiln Cor- dell of Industry , twelve miles Oast of hero. The girl left her homo o'n the night of May 2rt to visit n friend nt Denver , 111. , n few miles south of this city. The last seen of her nllvo wiiskntu llttlo junction of the Chicago. Bur- llngton & Quiney mid Wnbo.sU railways called Golden. Days passed by and inquiries nnd anxious searchlngs developed nothing of her whereabouts. Yesterday news was re ceived from Canton , III. , that the corpse of n young lady had been found on n lonely Island in the Mississippi river , north of that place. The remains were Idcntillod ns the o of the missing girl. How she came to bo in tbo waters of the Mississippi at tlmt place Is n mystery. Investigation shows that she was In the company of a man In a buggy on May M In eastern Hancock county. A few days later n grave was found In n lonely portion tion of Crooked crock bottom In that neigh borhood. It had been relieved of Its con tents. It is believed that her companion after as saulting her murdered her , burled her body in the lonely grave and afterwards , becoming fearful of discovery , exhumed the body and drove to the Mississippi river at Keokuk and consigned It to the waves. This In part Is corroborated by n gentleman of Keokuk who was driving from Carthage to Keokuk on that night and passed a stranger in n buggy drawn by n gray horse. At his feet lay n largo bundle , which ho seemed anxious to keep covered. The Keokuk gentleman drove on to Keokuk , and afterwards saw the stranger's rig pass through the streets minus the bundle. The fellow bail probably thrown It into the Mississippi river in passing over the bridge. Who the stranger was is a mystery which the police nro earnestly investigating. , tuV tXI > Kl'JXlTKX'f VAltTV. The South Dakota Farmer ' Al'lanuo Adopts a Platform. Hi'itox , S. D. , Juno 0.
