MONDAY EVENING. JUNE 10. The Philadeli'HIA American, in refer ence to the action of the late Northern As¬ sembly of the Presbyterian Church on the subject of race distinction, says: "The church, some of the members of which, who are in favor of such distinction, have been quoting as on the record in favor of separate organization for white and black in every body below the General Assembly, now declares that it never has said or done anything that commits it to that policy, and came within three votes of eaying that it did not care a snap of the fingers what the Southern Assembly thought of its action." The American only says wbal actually took place. There may be a re¬ union of the Presbyterian Church of this country,in the future, but that it will not bo in the near future, is proved by the action of the Northern Assembly referred to, as well as by what the American says of that action. _ Sknator Edmunds says the beat means to obtaiu a free ballot and a fair count is to entrust the execution of the registration and election laws to men of the highest character and ability in the respective pre cincts, taken from all parties. Good enough. But if, as General Mahone says o: hia party, there be not enough intelligenl men in some of the counties of Virginia tc fi ] the offices thereof, how is it possible thai men of the highest character and ability car be found in that party, in those counties, t< fill the more numerous registration ant election offices ? The chief cause of most o tho differences between the North and tin South is the dense and utter Ignorance o the true condition of southern affairs appar ently nurped by northern people. A delegation of kickers who called up on President Harrison last Saturday say hi told them he had not recognized Genera Mahone as the head of the party in Vir ginta and did not contemplate doing so Words. All the appointments so far mad* in Virginia except the Harrlsonburg post- roaster, and to lhat the General had with, drawn his objection, were made on General Mahone's recommendation, and no matter what the President may say to the contrary Virginia republicans have been informed by the Assistant Postmaster General,and also p.! tho Treasury and Navy Departments, that applications for places must be endorsed by General Mahone. According to Rev. Mr. Madden, of Kan sas, the people of Johnstown must be worse than those of Sodom and Gomorrah, as all of those killed by the 'ate flood went to the devil at once. The reverend gentleman re¬ ferred to, in his sermon in Pitfaburg yester day, said: "I was in Johnstown when the Hood oc¬ curred, but managed through my own ener¬ gies and peraeverence to escape the Hood Those who did not do so left a warning six hours old go unheeded, waited, were drown¬ ed, and went to hell." But John Brown hailed from Kansas, and so does Senator Ingalls. A good deal of discussion is now going on in the newspapers and mar.a/.ines of the Norlh concerning ways and means by which to Rfcuro fair elections in this country. Tr aM of thoao encaged in this discussion the desired object seems exceedingly hard to at¬ tain, but to wise people it seems that noth¬ ing could be more ea=y. From the point ol view of the latter, a repeal of the ballot law and ft return to the good and true old sys¬ tem of viva voce voting would effect lh>- desirtd olj^ct at onceand effectually. Mr. CrOPLKV of Georgetown, says: "The C. & O. ("anal should be repaired ; that n< railroad could do or much for the Districl of Columbia as that canal, properly man¬ aged, can do, and that no railroad can carry coal os cheaply as can a canal." Mr. Crop- ley is right. If the Wasbingtonians will eel their minds to it, they can induce Con¬ gress to appropriate enough money tr lengthen the locks and extend the canal tr the Ohio, and then the prosperity of George town will be assured. Col. O'Fkrrai.l is an efficient Congress¬ man and would doubtless make a popular gubernatorial candidate and an excellent Governor, but bis chance for a nomination can not ctrlainly be improved by the in¬ dorsement of tho Washington Pas!, a repub¬ lican newspaper edited by Mr. Hat ton, who when Postmaster General handed over the Virginia postoflices to Genera! Mahone, niri who now is the General's chief backer in Washington._ President Harrison has issued an order abolishing Sunday inspections and dress pa¬ rades in the army. Mr. Harrison may be a sensible man, but the order referred fr> doesn't prove that he is. Dress parades on Sunday never kept a man from church who wanted to go there, and their abolition will never make a man go to church who doesn't want to go. ^_ A REPUBLICAN newspapar soys there is no reason to believe that the late attacks upon tho war record of Muj. Bev. Tucker induced the President to revoke the nomi¬ nation of the Haytian commissioners. But people who know better say the attacks re¬ ferred to, and nothing else, were the sole cause of that revocation. Captain Lucien L. Bass, president of the Richmond board of aldermen, died on Sat¬ urday. FROH WASHINGTON. ipeclsl < 011« londenceol the Alex». Gajesxt] Washington, D. C. June 10, 18S9. Among the Grangers in tho city to day is Mr. Merlin, of Cumberland. He says that most of the damage to tbe C. & O. canal is i at or near Harper's Ferry, and that $125,- 000 will nut the whelp canal in good order again. That .sum, be Bays, can readily, and will be advanced by tuu people whose in terests are Miiwervd by the canal if its re¬ turn be assured. Tho caun! di.-ectois will w el in Annapolis on Wednesday, tho Maryland board of public works on Thurs¬ day, and tbe other people interested in the canal on Friday, and by these several meetings 1> something will ba done by which tbe canal may be repaired. He seems to tbink that if Mr. Gorman docs not interfere the canal will be envod. Gen. Groner has been informed by Mr. Halfo:d, the President's private secretary, that tbe President baa postponed receiving the "kickera" committee and hearing their side of the case that now divides the Vir¬ ginia republicans until Wednesday next. The bearing was to trtve taken place to¬ morrow, aud io anticipation of that event most of the members ot tee committee up- pointed by the ''kickers" at their late meet ing In this city, to present thtir case to the President, are already in the city, but Gov. Cameron, who will do most of the talking, has not yet; Several of those here congregated in ti e rending room of the Eb biit House to day and bad a sort of informal confer"!"--. A private letter received at the Capitol to day says that Senator Ransom while walk- ioft in his garden one day last week slipped, and falling, broke thefcamoarra thatnbuliot bad broken during the war. Severn republican members of Congress are now in tbe city. While they all don't agree that it will be wise, most of them seem to think thrtt. tire smiil republican majority in the ni H mac will fioL only attempt to bo change the rules of that body as to pro- vent democratic filibustering, but to elect a Speaker who will attempt to carry out the wishes of tbat rasj -rity.

The hot sun beating down on the wreckr.gc above the bridge has developed the fact that mary bodies of animals and probably human beings rtrc yet in the ruins and the stench r.ti; iog f.-om this pil? was more offensive than at any time yet. An export on Saturday opened the vault of the First Nations! Bank, and the Sav¬ ings Bank, aud all their contents were found just as tbey iraii been left ou Friday when the mighty wave struck, The body of a cashier of one of the local banks was found iu tb?. j-»m by the bridge, and his pockets were bulging out with huge rolls of curren¬ cy. He had evidently grabbed all the money in tight when the Hood caught, him, with the idea :!' it ben ;bl escape alive and proter' some ofthe bank's funds. The money taken from him amounted fo about $2 000. Tbe number of the lost is placed now at between 3.500 end 1 000. The last state ment of tfie number cf bodies recovered is 1.500. It is eaid that fully fifty persons heretofore accounted as dead are really alive. The re¬ mains that are now being removed from I he drifts are far advanced in decomposition, and physicians are advocating their crema¬ tion as fast as found, as it is almost impossi¬ ble to handle them safely.

General Thomas L. Rosser delivered a speech before the Confederate Memorial As¬ sociation at Staunton on Saturday. He spoke of nations creeling monuments to their heroic dead. Ho said the difference between tbe Northern and Southern monu¬ ments was that in theSouth they were erect¬ ed over graves to virtuo and patriotism and in the North, in cities, by Pharisaical Van keos to enhance real eetate and over the graves of bounty jumpers and hirelings and empty graves; a::d they expected God Al¬ mighty and the Angei Gabriel to resurrect their lies- Southern soldies fought for the rights of States and the integrity of homes .for virtue ond patriotism, the Northern men for self, plunder and pBy. Ia lSlil the integrity of the Southern States was in danger. They withdrew from the cor- ruptive inflnenco to secure peace and pros¬ perity. ''The Southern people aro Saracen .the Northern people Celt," said Gen. Ros aer. ' I chuckle over the results ariaing from socialism and anarchism in tho North from which we are free. It has been said that we are the samo people, but that was a long lime ago. New evolution, or some process, has made ua different creatures, and soon capital and appre>sod manhood will flee to the South where honest men can protect them. Applause j Tho world will see that rebels are the only true patriots and sup¬ porters of Constitutional liberty. I approve all tho Southern Confederacy did. It destroyed evil forces and established good ones. Its monuments. a** to truth, patriotism and plory, not hrozen images resulting from blemished hearts and conduct. The North abandons the race they emancipated, except their votes. No Greeks, Whittiets, P.eecherp, or John Bow¬ ers write or preach or die for them.

W. Bryant, at Crowe, in Nottowny county, was broken Into nnd robbed. The samo night the dwelling house of John Mo- ran, In tbe same town, was entered and a criminal assault committed on Mrs. Morau by the burglar. At the time the assault was committed Mrs. Moran was sick in bed with an infant only three weeks old lying at her side. Mrs. Moran awoke and found a negro in her bed. She screamed and her appeals for help awoke her husband who was in the next room but not before tbo scoundrel bad made his escape. The next day two negroes named John Davis and John Forbes; wore arrested as the guil¬ ty parties. Forbes confessed to the robbery of Dr. Bryant's store, nnd stated that Davis kept watch at the window while he com- mited the theft. The feeling against the two prisoners has been very bitter in the county ever since the as.satilt was commit¬ ted on Mrs- Moran, and plans were twice laid for lynching tbem. A few nights ngo Judge Mann, of the county court of Nottoway. received reliable information that ev¬ erything had beon arranged hy a party of men from Prince Edward and Nottoway conn ties to lynch Forbes and Davis. Ho thereupon had I he prisoners sent to Potorslmrg at midnight for safe¬ keeping. On Friday Forbes was arraigned for trial in the County Court or Nottoway for house- breaking. He was found guilty and his punish¬ ment fixed at fifteen years in the penitentiary. After his ronvietion Forbes made a full confession of everything. He said he robbed Dr. Bryant a store and then broke into Mr. Morau'a house and committed a criminal assault on Mis. Morau. This confession cansed gTcit indignation, and Saturday morning between ouo and two o'clock abont fifty masked men from the airrounding county went to the county jail. Forbes wa- taken out of his cell and taken to the comt honse yard where be was hanged to tho limb of a tree. 'llis bodv v/as found that morning dangling from the tree per¬ forated with eighteen bullet holes. Forbes was eighteen ycats of ago and very black.

Page 1: Alexandria Gazette.(Alexandria, VA) 1889-06-10.€¦ · ed, and wentto hell." ButJohn Brown hailed from Kansas, and sodoes Senator Ingalls. Agooddealofdiscussion is nowgoing on in

MONDAY EVENING. JUNE 10.

The Philadeli'HIA American, in reference to the action of the late Northern As¬

sembly of the Presbyterian Church on the

subject of race distinction, says: "The

church, some of the members of which,who are in favor of such distinction,have been quoting as on the recordin favor of separate organization for whiteand black in every body below the GeneralAssembly, now declares that it never has

said or done anything that commits it to

that policy, and came within three votes of

eaying that it did not care a snap of the

fingers what the Southern Assembly thoughtof its action." The American only says wbalactually took place. There may be a re¬

union of the Presbyterian Church of this

country,in the future, but that it will not bo

in the near future, is proved by the

action of the Northern Assembly referred to,as well as by what the American says of that

action. _

Sknator Edmunds says the beat means

to obtaiu a free ballot and a fair count is to

entrust the execution of the registrationand election laws to men of the highestcharacter and ability in the respective precincts, taken from all parties. Goodenough. But if, as General Mahone says o:

hia party, there be not enough intelligenlmen in some of the counties of Virginia tc

fi ] the offices thereof, how is it possible thai

men of the highest character and ability car

be found in that party, in those counties, t<

fill the more numerous registration ant

election offices ? The chief cause of most o

tho differences between the North and tin

South is the dense and utter Ignorance o

the true condition of southern affairs apparently nurped by northern people.

A delegation of kickers who called upon President Harrison last Saturday say hitold them he had not recognized GeneraMahone as the head of the party in Vir

ginta and did not contemplate doing so

Words. All the appointments so far mad*

in Virginia except the Harrlsonburg post-roaster, and to lhat the General had with,drawn his objection, were made on GeneralMahone's recommendation, and no matter

what the President may say to the contraryVirginia republicans have been informed bythe Assistant Postmaster General,and also p.!

tho Treasury and Navy Departments, that

applications for places must be endorsed byGeneral Mahone.

According to Rev. Mr. Madden, of Kan

sas, the people of Johnstown must be worse

than those of Sodom and Gomorrah, as allof those killed by the 'ate flood went to thedevil at once. The reverend gentleman re¬

ferred to, in his sermon in Pitfaburg yesterday, said:"I was in Johnstown when the Hood oc¬

curred, but managed through my own ener¬

gies and peraeverence to escape the HoodThose who did not do so left a warning sixhours old go unheeded, waited, were drown¬ed, and went to hell."But John Brown hailed from Kansas, and

so does Senator Ingalls.A good deal of discussion is now going on

in the newspapers and mar.a/.ines of the

Norlh concerning ways and means by whichto Rfcuro fair elections in this country. Tr

aM of thoao encaged in this discussion thedesired object seems exceedingly hard to at¬

tain, but to wise people it seems that noth¬

ing could be more ea=y. From the point ol

view of the latter, a repeal of the ballot law

and ft return to the good and true old sys¬tem of viva voce voting would effect lh>-desirtd olj^ct at onceand effectually.Mr. CrOPLKV of Georgetown, says: "The

C. & O. ("anal should be repaired ; that n<

railroad could do or much for the Districlof Columbia as that canal, properly man¬

aged, can do, and that no railroad can carrycoal os cheaply as can a canal." Mr. Crop-ley is right. If the Wasbingtonians will eeltheir minds to it, they can induce Con¬

gress to appropriate enough money tr

lengthen the locks and extend the canal trthe Ohio, and then the prosperity of Georgetown will be assured.

Col. O'Fkrrai.l is an efficient Congress¬man and would doubtless make a populargubernatorial candidate and an excellentGovernor, but bis chance for a nominationcan not ctrlainly be improved by the in¬dorsement of tho Washington Pas!, a repub¬lican newspaper edited by Mr. Hat ton, whowhen Postmaster General handed over theVirginia postoflices to Genera! Mahone, niriwho now is the General's chief backer in

Washington._President Harrison has issued an order

abolishing Sunday inspections and dress pa¬rades in the army. Mr. Harrison may be a

sensible man, but the order referred fr>doesn't prove that he is. Dress parades on

Sunday never kept a man from church whowanted to go there, and their abolition willnever make a man go to church who doesn'twant to go. ^_

A REPUBLICAN newspapar soys there isno reason to believe that the late attacksupon tho war record of Muj. Bev. Tuckerinduced the President to revoke the nomi¬nation of the Haytian commissioners. Butpeople who know better say the attacks re¬ferred to, and nothing else, were the solecause of that revocation.

Captain Lucien L. Bass, president of theRichmond board of aldermen, died on Sat¬urday.

Washington, D. C. June 10, 18S9.Among the Grangers in tho city to day is

Mr. Merlin, of Cumberland. He says thatmost of the damage to tbe C. & O. canal is

i at or near Harper's Ferry, and that $125,-000 will nut the whelp canal in good orderagain. That .sum, be Bays, can readily, andwill be advanced by tuu people whose interests are Miiwervd by the canal if its re¬

turn be assured. Tho caun! di.-ectois willw el in Annapolis on Wednesday, thoMaryland board of public works on Thurs¬day, and tbe other people interested in thecanal on Friday, and by these severalmeetings 1> something willba done by which tbe canal may be repaired.He seems to tbink that if Mr. Gorman docsnot interfere the canal will be envod.Gen. Groner has been informed by Mr.

Halfo:d, the President's private secretary,that tbe President baa postponed receivingthe "kickera" committee and hearing theirside of the case that now divides the Vir¬ginia republicans until Wednesday next.

The bearing was to trtve taken place to¬morrow, aud io anticipation of that eventmost of the members ot tee committee up-pointed by the ''kickers" at their late meet

Effects of the Flood.L\DiANAroL!8, June 10.Advices from

all pitta of the State indicate great damngefrom the rains of the past week both to thegrowing crops and to property situatedalong the water courses. The river here isout of its banks, nnd has done great damageto fencing all along its course. Fields ofcorn, wheet and oats have been entirelywasbod out, and others have been greatlydamaged along the Sangamon river. InWhite and other counties the bottoms are

all covered with water, and hundreds ofacres of growiug crops are submerged. Manyfamilies have fled to the highlands for safety.
