Thia time, however, he in not <>n n tour of light house inspection*, in a reve- j nue cutter at the exjiense of the peo ple, but there are a number of " bro ken finer-" in hi* native State that must be net up before the Octol>cr elec tion taken place, and be appears upon the ground in time to make nil neces sary repairs. Schurz, the soldier of fortune, and the honest civil service reformer, is on his way to the Indian agencies of the far West, which just at this particular time are greatly in need of a thorough inspection. The urgency is not so great, however, as to deprive Mr. Schurz of the pleasure of giving a portion of his time to politics in Ohio. He therefore stops on the way long enough to make a number of stump speeches, no doubt founded upon the latest order of civil service reform approved and adopted by the administration. JoHK KIIKRMAJJ'S special favors to his pet hanks, remarks the I'ittshurg J'oti, have become such a prominent feature of his financiering that the New York Time* give him a severe drubbing for extending the time of jwyincnt for the four per cent, bond subscriptions to certain hanks until October 1. The hanks are thus allow ed to use $47,000,000 over two months beyomi the date of payment, ami Mr # Hherman, therefore, told a very large fib when he said in Maiuc that the loan was closed. Sherman, the Hypocrito. The fraudulent Secretary of the Treasury, says the Ifiirrfnliur % Patriot, has lett hia |K>nt of duty at Washing ton to participate in the political campaign in Ohio# The fraudulent Secretary of the Interior has done likewise. Their salaries go on all the same, else probably they would have remained at Washington to attend to the duties they are paid by the people to perform. Mr. Sherman opened his Ohio cam paign by a speech at Steubenvillfl on Wednesday night. His only note worthy utterance was to the effect that the Republican party is "determined to have not only ('roe but fair elections, cost what it will." The remainder of the address was " leather and prun ella." Now, by what right, we should like to know, does this man Sherman as sume to speak for fair and free elec tions? Himself, so far as his official position is concerned, the product of the most villainous electoral fraud ev er conceived by political knaves, how does he become a teacher in Israel to instruct his countrymen in political moral* ? If, however, this traveling cabinet minister must plav the hypocrite and lecture the country as to its duty in regard to honest elections, would he not have found a field better adapted to his labors in the New England States which he but recently visited at the expense of the government? It is in those Republican strongholds that the people are disfranchised on account of their poverty, bulldozed out of freedom of choice at the polls by their employers and bribed to vote the Republican ticket at so much jx r head. Or if the people of the South need instruction as to the method of eon ducting fair and free elections, why does not the pious nnd patriotic Mr. Sherman go ami deliver his lectures to those people, instead of vexing the tired auricles of the model Ohio pat riots who never think of doing any thing that would militate against the fairness orTreedom of elections, espe cially when Tom Young nnd Hen Hut terworth are candidates iu Cincinnati? It will not do for Mr. Sherman to say that he would be ill-treated in the South if he should go there to speak in favor of honest election*. He would be welcomed with open arms. Ho certainly cannot have forgotten that on the occasion of his ia-t visit to New Orleans, just after the presiden tial election in I*7o. the Southern people were exceedingly anxious that he should deliver a lecture in favor of an honest count before the Iuisi ana returning board. It is true he failed them then and they have natu rally lost confidence in him, hut he would have no difficulty in restoring himself iu their good graces if he would simply remind them of the fact that while he favored the disfranchise ment of the 10,000 Louisiana Demo crats who voted for Tilden he recog nized the right of the same 10,000 Democrats to vote for and elect Gov ernor Nichols. John .Sherman in favor of fair and free elections ! When the prostitute practices chastity, when the robber protects property, when the devil turns saint, let this canting, cozening pharisee be trusted as an honest advo cate of a free and pure ballot. With his ycord as counselor to the infa mous liouisiana returning hoard, as manipulator of false election returns, as distributor of rewards to proven and self-confessed forgers nnd jx-rju rcrs, he ought to be hissed from the stump by the hot indignation of the people whom he insults by his impu dent and shameless pretenses. Men Who Can Afford to Take It. The Washington UepuUie nominates for tho Knglish mission three very eco nomical men, who save money in office. The first is Kx-Henator McT'reerjr. who, on a salary of $.1,000, saved $2.1,000 in six years. The second is Senator Itavis, who, though a millionaire, lunches in the Capitol every day for eight cents. It is his habit to go to Aunt Mary, the file woman in the corridor, for his unch. Laying his hand on a plate of cakea or apples, he asks, "llow much are these?" "Two cents." "And these?" laying his hand on another plate. "Three cents." "O, Mary; you're too high, too high." Then he will buy a piece of pie and a glass of milk, and, standing at'the counter (hs weighs .180 pounds), he eats his lunch with tran quillity. The third person nominated for the Knglish mission, who it it thought would save money in that office on $17,500 a yaar, is his Excellency the President of the United State*.

A dispatch from Ya/.00 City, M inn. state* tliut .!union U, Barkadale, who, shot Mini killoii Henry M. Dixon in that town hut wook, has boon released on •15 ,000 hall, the prosecuting attorney consenting to tho hailing. 'I ho history of the difficulty in Yazoo, which ha* terminated o tragically, in thus Hum med up by the New York W 'orUl. '•Captain Dixon was always a Demo crat, and won well known in Mississippi as a planter. Ilia courage wan unqucs tinned. In 1K75 he was preacnted with a massive aolid ailver pitcher, on which waa the inacription : "To the bravest of the brave, Captain Henry M. Dixon, from hiH democratic fellow -citizen! o ( Yazoo county, an a testimonial of their fine appreciation of bin brilliant services in the redemption of the country from Itndical rule. ' What these services wero is not more clearly stated. In June last Dixon announced himself as an independent candidate for sheriff of Yazoo county. He was indorsed by such Democrats as ex Judge It. N. Hud son, of Yazoo Gity : Major Doherty, the county treasurer; l'rof. Gad berry, long a professor ill the medical college nt I-ouisville, Ky., and nearly thirty repre sentative planters anil merchants. There was a regular Democratic candidate nominated against him by a convention. Karly in July registration began. A number of Democrats tried to prevent the registration of Dixon men. Some of these on the last Friday of July collected at the town of Rnton, and gave out that Dixon was about to assem ble an armed force of negroes there. Presently Capt. Dixon and two friends rode up in abuggv. lie faced the crowd of adversaries, defied them and returned home. Thither a mob followed him, and demanded that ho should leave the county, never to return. Several of his Democratic friends attempted to stay the mob, who threatened to burn their houses and his own. Finally, to save the property of his neighbors, he agreed to withdrsw as their candidate. Missisaippians who knew the man and the region a-ert that personal terror of Dixon had much to do with the opposi tion to him. He is believed to have killed many nren, ami it is known of him that in 1e75, when lie was redeem ing the county from Radical rule, he on one occasion compelled a crowd of ne groes to hang their own leader. He had heard that a movement was preparing among the negroes against him, and rode along on horseback to the place where the negroes had gathered to gether. carrying a rojKS over his saddle bow. When he came ti[>on I hem he covered the leader with his revolver and ordered him to step out. The man obeyed. Selecting four other negroes by name he bade thetn come to him and take the rope which he gave them. 'l'ut it around that man's neck,' he said. They obeyed. 'Now, then, one of you go up that tree and reeve it over that bough.' This was done. 'Now. then, pull away, you three.' The three men pulled, and upon Dixon's com mand made the rope fast, when their unfortunate lender was fairly swinging in the air. Dixon sat on his horse eye ing the scene until he was satisfied that the man was dead, and then, forbidding the negroes to rut him down for twenty four hours, ordered them to disperse, which they did, and quietly rcxle oil home." Worklngmcn's Candidate Shot Down 111 Sail Francisco. SAX Fictcuco, C'sl., August 23. —Last night Rev. I. 8. Kalloch, the Working men's candidate for Mayor, defended himself before an immense audience against charges, twenty years old, of immorality in Boston, preferred against him by the VkronnU. He said these charges were revived by Charles and Mtke De Young, whon he referred to in his remarks as "two bastard sons of a prostitute." This morning Charles I>e Young, learning of the remarks, shot and it is supposed fatally wounded Kalloch. There are numberless reports afloat as to the circumstances attendant upon the shooting, but the most direct story is that Charles De Young drove to the Metrojiolitan Temple, where Kalloch has his studio and room, alone in a coupe, at the timo Kallock was about stepping into a carriage with Carl Browne. De Young sent an American District messenger boy to him to say that a gentleman wished to |>oak with hitn. As Kalloek approached the cou|* De Young fired, hitting him in the breast just above the heart. Kalloch staggered and turned to e<*ca|ie, De Young then fired again, hitting hun in the hip or the thigh. It would appear that trouble had been anticipated, as quite a number of Work ingmen were in the vicinity of the temple. They at once made a rush for the coupe, seized the horses' heads and endeavored to get I)e Young out. He kept them at bay for a moment with his pistol. In the meantime an officer had arrived u|*>n the scene. The crowd seized the cou|>e and overturned it, and as it went over De Young leaped out. He and the officer wero at once attack ed, the latter being knocked down and trampled on. lbs Young was beaten about the head and face, though not very seriously. The officer, De Young and the driver of the coupe struggled through the crowd amid cries of "llang him !' "Kill him !" At the corner of Fifth and Market street* two morn offi cers made their appearance, and with their assistance De Young was taken to the Baldwin Hotel, and the party, ee caping by another entrance, got into a carriage and drove rapidly to the police station, the crowd following. De was at once taken to one of the tank cells, while the crowd—thousands in number—surrounded the prison and evinced a di*|ioaition to attack it. The case of General Thomas M. Walk er, postmaster at Krie, has leen sub mitted to the President, and an agent will tie sent to Krie to investigate the facts in the case. General Thomas was guilty, several weeks ago, of con duct that seriously questionea his moral reliability, and the matter was publish ed in the papers, but to this the Depart ment refused to pay any attention. The determination now to make inutiiry into the matter has been brought about by several hundred citizens of Krie sending down a memorial asking that the investigation be made. The Yazoo Comity Troubles. Ihe New York ftalum, a careful jour nal. of decided Republican proclivities, and constitutionally hostile to anything like violence and lynch law, apenks as follows in regard to the troubles in Yazoo county, which have culminated in the shooting of Col. Dixon ; "We aro sorry we have to correct what wo said two weeks ago at,out (|, Dixon, the independent candidate in Yazoo county, Miss. It now appears that bo was in iH7 S himself a very noto rious bulldozer, and won much popular ily by bis brutality in that capacity among the ruffianly Bourbons who have recently been intimidating hitn. He turned 'independent' and became the champion of the blacks probably for the sake of a now excitement and in the hope of getting office. The Attorney- General, Morris, deplored bis fate in being driven out of his candidacy, and reprobated in strong terms the means employed for the purpose, but held out no hope of legal protection i in spite of which Dixon picked up courage and meant to run, when be was killed in a 'difficulty' by a private enemy. He would have bad plenty of white sup noit. I bat the white disapproval of bulldozing gains strength is shown by what has happened iri Rankin county, where a Bimilar attempt was made to coin) el Major Sutton, a highly re*porta hie man, to withdraw from the canvass s* candidate for Sheriff, but the better men ill the county came to the rescue | and put down the mob, and Mjor Sut ton Doe* not retire. It is worthy of note, too, that the Yazoo regulators think it neceary to defend themselves Before the public. They deny that they went to Dixon armed, and that they asked him to withdraw for any other reason than that he was 'a man of vio lent and de*|erate character, whose career haa U--n marked by strife and turbulence, and who lias been reckless of human life and of law,' ami who. having 'raised a race iue' and put him self at the bead of the negroes, would have been a dangerous character. This is a flimsy defense enough, hut it is better than none. R indicate- growing sensitiveness, and shows that there are white men. even in Mississippi, who are increasing in numbers and influence, who condemn this sort of thing and are gaining courage to resist it.'* To John Sherman.

General Grant was a great soldier with a reputation justly won, and will be a# likely as anybody to despise the meth ods adopted by I/Ogan. It is probably enough for 1/ogan to know, however, that Thomas is no longer living.
