SOMK of the trmnf* of the adminis
tration arc again on the highways
and the byways. Sherman in in Ohio.
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*.

"It is quite remarkable," said Senator
Roscoe <'-inkling, sitting on his front
porch in Ulica the other evening chat
ting with one of his neighbors, "to note
the change* which are constantly being
made in the construction of fowling
piece*. When I was a lad I remember
we used to have shot guns with a bore
not larger, I should say, than the end
of my thumb. Paaaing through Rhode
Island the other day J saw a little red
nosed man, evidently going snipe bunt
ing, the barrels of which, I should say,
from the paaaing observation that I ob
tained, had a diameter fully equal to
the crown of my hat."

The YU/oo Tragedy IHxoii'k timer.
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.'*

Sen atom liOdix, of Illinois, has excit
ed the criticism of some soldier# who
fought under General Thomas, because
tgan in a recent *j.ee<-h handed some
of Thomas's brilliant military achieve
ment* over to the credit of Grant.
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.
