In this \ Mr. Wilson was correot. It was feared ( that if the law prohibiting the marriage t of white and black people in Maasachu- ] setts were repealed, the negro men wonld j want to marry the white women of tho ( State, but the fear proved to bo utterly j groundless. The law was repealed, and \ the women who were anxiously awaiting , an opportunity to marry negroes under < the sanction of legislative enactments , are waiting still. The "colored gentle- , men" of the State very justly concluded, it would seem, that the white woman who is willing to marry a negro is not fit to be a negro's wife, and the result is a very large majority of suoh women iu that State still continue to repose their weary, rheumatic and seemingly ema? ciated limbs upon single bedsteads, with "no one to love, none to caress." I" Courier-Journal. NEORO EQUALITY.-The New York Commercial, a Republican paper, makes these very sensible remarks: "Fred. Douglass, who was lately re? fused admission to the Planters' Hotel, St. Louis, explains that he went there for the express purpose of ereating a rumpus, thinking thus 'to bring the dis? ease to the surface, and effect a euro.' We are afraid the disease lies deeper than Fred.'s remedy can reach. Full equality before the is the privilege of all, 'without distinction of race or color,' but the Almighty has established certain natural barriers between the white man and the blaok, that no human statutes or ordinances can ever over? throw. Charles Sumner, with his oivil rights bill, and Fred. Douglass, with his social equality chimera, may not aee this, but the future will demonstrate it even to their satisfaction." The Boston Post says "they are giving and taking the lie in a lively manner iu the South Carolina Legislature." If it bo true that a fair exchange is no rob? bery, this exchange of lies by the mem? bers is about tho only thing that Legis? lature has over done that wasn't a rob? bery of somebody. - Courier-Journal.

AND PBO 8KorjTioN^, , BTO.-Tile , rF?ftt?y ?hasette i Ar kansas) bu tb? -following, nnder the appropriate headibg, "A State for Bal?:" "Well, we bave tho fruits of the oar pet-bag system o? taxation before ns in the shape of auditor's advertisements of sale of lands forfeited to the State of Arkansas, in consequence of tho non? payment o! taxes due thereon,' to tako j place on tho '?^cond Monday in Febrn ary, 1872,' published in the Weekly Re? publican, of January 9. Borne idea of the magnitude of the taxation imposed upon the people of Arkansas by Mr. Carpet-bagger's government in the first j year of his role may be derived from an | examination of this advertisement, re? collecting that the lands embraced in it are only the residuum after the collect? ors have sifted all that oonld be sold in the Counties where forfeited for the I pri?e of the taxes unpaid, and after the | owners have had two 'years to. redeem from the auditor such as they were able to redeem. "The advertisement is printed ia non? pareil type, and occupies more than six? teen pagQB of a sheet SB largo as the Weekly Gazelle. At legal (carpet-bag) rates, the mere publication of it one in? sertion costa tho Stute of Arkansas $12,3121 It is published also in pam? phlet form. This pamphlet contains, in the same size typo, in medium octavo form, 228 closoly printed pages. We have taken one page as an average of the whole. The auditor offers for sale on that page seventy-two'tracts, 15,837.271 acres, taxed for $2,901.62. or nearly nineteen cents per acre. Taking page 111 as an average of the whole 228 pages, and we learn that, comprised in 16,116 trouts, tho wholo number of acres of? fered by the auditor of lands forfeited iu 1868 is 8,662,540.91 - 011 which the j amount of taxes unpaid is 9651,462 20 a som far greater than the entire reve? nue of any year before 1868. We oom mend this statoment of figures to those 1 States who keep the carpet-baggers in their own penitentiaries." L ITT LB DELA WARS AT THE THROAT OF MASSACHUSETTS.-In reply to some re? marks of Mr. Hoar, o' Massachusetts on the educational bill, Mr. Biggs, of Delaware, opposed the bill. He turned his attention to the speech made by Mr. Hoar some weeks ago, in which some I allusions were made to the discredit of ' Delaware, and said he would read the criminal statistics of the saintly State of 1 Massachusetts. He would read the crimen in their alphabetical order. They used up all the letters of the alphabet, except the last fonr. He found that in four years-1866, 1867. 1868 and 1869 the number ol griminal prosecutions in Massachusetts was 10,036. They had increased from 1,945 in 1866 to 3,458 in 1869. And what were those crimes? Arson, adultery, burglary, bigamy, con? spiring to dofraud, drunkenness, defac? ing tomb-stones, forgery, horso-atealing, highway robbery, keeping hotel without license, night-walking, obtaining money under falso pretenses, perjury, polyga? my, playing curds on Sunday, attending | sock fights, refusing to pay railroad taxes, selling liquor, selling obscene prints, selling diseased meat, threaten? ing to burn churches. When tho ho? norable gentleman from Massachusetts talked about the illiteraoy of Delaware, bo should tell the House how Massachu? setts presented such a black reoord of sri me. SODDEN DEATH OP A PROMINENT CITI? ZEN.-Our citizens were painfully sur? prised last Sunday afternoon, by the intelligence of the sodden decease of Dr. David J. Bothwell, senior partner ?if the firm of D. J. & J. T. Bothwell. He was apparently in his usual health at linner on that day, and soon after par? taking of which ho laid down for his ac? customed afternoon nap. Io a short | ;ime after he had laid down on the bed xe complained of being unwell, and in a few moments expired. His death was mused, we believe, by paralysis. Dr. Bothwell waa a native of Jefferson Conn-1 y, but resided for some years past, mtil bis removal to this city, in Dooly bounty, which he at one time represent? ed in the Legislature. He was about I nxty years of age. \A ugusta Constitutionalist. -? . A Baltimore letter says of Mrs. Whar? ton: "So strong is the feeling aoainst her1 ii oro, that it in understood Mrs. Wharton lins engaged quarters io Annapolis to 1 ?wait her trial, in April, for the alleged attempt to poison Mr. Van Noss. The prosecution will, it is understood, push this case with vigor, and not a few antici? pate it may result in conviction. It should be stated, however, that tho counsel for Mrs. Wharton and their families are confident that she is a deeply wronged and innocent woman; ana I hear that Mw. Steele proposes to give her a reception at an early day, and to strike off from ber visiting list nil who fail to attend. This shows that the nn fortunate woman is not without strong | adherents, even in a community so hos? tile to ber." SUDDEN DEATH..- WO are pained to ohroniole tho sadden death, on Sunday morning last, at Davidson College, of Mr. C. M. Douglass, one of tho editors of the Davidson Monthly. He was ap? parently, well on Sunday morning, and in a short time he was a corpse. We un? derstand that his sadden death was caused from tho "rising of tho heart." Mr. Douglass was a young man who bid fair to make his mark in this world, bad not death so suddenly transplanted him from time into eternity. Mr. D. was studying for tho ministry.

J^nejday last vie^t? whilst Senator Car? penter, bf Wisconsin, waa making a ranting. speech against "rebela" and amnesty. Butler entered the chamber. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore journal, writing February 1st, i eays: Whilst he (Carpenter) waa talking, that piece of hideous iniquity, yclept, Hon. Beast Butler waddled (for a walk it is not) into the Senate Chamber and took a seat next to. the Senatorial "Buf? foon" Nye, bnt, as is the case of those who have a troubled conscience, he would not Bit still, and again waddled or waggled bis carcass to the other side of the chamber, where he button-holed the so-called "Adonis" of the Senate, Conkling, of New York, and pulled him down to a seat on one of the sofas, where, for twenty minutes, he engaged in a conversation. He then moved to a seat next to Carpenter on bis left, and but three desks from that of the Hon. Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, who arose after Carpenter had finished, and made an elaborate reply, lt was a very funny thing to see the way in which the Hon. Beast jumped np from that scat, when Mr. Davis commenced speaking, and sneaked away from Davis' vicinity as he remembered bis experienoe with that gentleman's offended dignity about a year since. His jump was sudden, and caused a loud guffaw from "Jester" Nyo and others, while tho audience iu thu galleries laughed vory knowingly, and the Hon. Beast looked like a sneak-thief caught iu soma gentleman's passage? way with a stolen coat over his arm and he knew it-for he shortly left. They hud a terrifying sensation in a boarding house iu Davenport, Iowa, tho other evening, tho result of the peuchaut of the lady for a little fun. This lady put on a ghostly mask, donned a coat of her husband's, aud creeping softly to tho door of another lady, pushed it ajar, aud, with a groan, put her.head in the opening. The occupant turned, and looked, and gave a shriek, and fell to the floor in spasms. The fun-maker saw the result of her sport and swooned away! Tho noise made by the victim caused a rash of the other boarders to the scene, who appreciated tho situation at onoe. It was with great difficulty that the frightened lady was restored to consciousness, and after that she was in a crazed state of mind for several hours. Meantime the other lady was taken to her room, where restoratives brought her to hor senses. She inquired us to the condition of her friend, und, when some ono told her the fate, she fainted again, remaining in an alarming condi? tion BO long that her husband and all about her were filled with the direst ap? prehensions. Both ladies wero unable to leave their room next day. A MAD ELEPHANT.-A story comes from India of a mad elephant which, for many years, has beeu tho terror of a tract in the "Central Provinces." About twenty years sinae the animal escaped, and killed in that period some eighty or 100 human beings. Some of tho car? casses, it is suid, tho elophant devoured, but this is questionable, as being oontra ry to the habits of the creature. The monster was more dreaded than any "man-eating tigers," sinoe the houses of the natives were no protection, the ele? phant destroying houses to get at tho in? mates. The savage beast was hunted and killed in December last, by an Eng? lish officer, at the head of a party of na? tives. The Government reward, $100, was divided among the natives. -?-??????? - IB NOT A CAHPET-BAQ STATE.-A reso? lution in tho Illinois Legislature, ap? proving and commending Sheridan's military occupation of Chicago, which was pressed by Federal office-holders as a direct menace to Governor Palmer, was postponed last Wednesday sine die. Some of its chief opponents were Re? publicans. When congratulated by his friends on the result, Goveruor Palmer remarked that ha desired tho administra? tion to understand that Illinois is no carpet-bag State; that Illinois has no carpot-bag Governor; and that Illinois has no carpet-bag Legislatura. The Cincinnati Commercial persists in its disloyalty. It now says: "Zack Chandler is a very sanguinary person. Ho thirsted for tho sprinkling of blood before tho war commenced, and languishes now because tho Government does not hang or shoot two or three hundred unrepentant rebels. We pre? sume ho did it, but we do not now recall tho exact period of tho war when Chand? ler shed his own or anybody oise's goto, though it was a first class opportunity for blood-letting." Notwithstanding tho Memphis, tho Nashville, and the Louisville papers, and the telegraph despatches from tho South, have all established that tho Cincinnati Gazelle's Ku Klux story from Brownsville, Tenn., was a hoax, yet the Gazelle has thus far pertinaciously re? fused to correct the error. If it had boon a story of negro Radioals killing white men, would that paper have re? mained silent so long? The Knoxville Democrat of tho 7(h inst, states that Mr. Trice, the conduc? tor on tho sleeping car on tho Memphis and Charleston Railroad, who assaultel Gen. Dabney H.
