What mercy could a husband expect at home if he hap pened to stay out till sixteen or seven. tecn o'clock? MtACxET does not intend to let Taft get ahead of him in the mart-yrizing business, and he tells a harrowing ttle of attempted assassinatioin in Sutnter. Investigation fhils to corroborate his story. Somebody happened to fire a pistolg in this vicintiy, and the next morning a colored manl's overcoat was produced with a lot of holes in it as big as the lunps of flt t-hat went into King A rthur's bng pudding, though the evening before, after. the shot was fired, an examination disclosed no rent or hole whatever. The martyr busi ness h: about played out. Tnc Rev. J. L. M. Curry has been elected secrotary of the board of trus tee3 of the Peabody Fund, to succeed the late Dr. Sears. As the fund is ex-, pollded in the outlh, the selection of a Southern mani to superittend its - bursement i; a very proper act.

THE NeWs and C)ourier eXplgjns the existing method of' drawing juries in the United Sates Courts. The abolition of the test oath, arad the ap. poin'int of t wo persons ot' opposite p~arties to prepare the lists, effectually blocks the old game of piackig jurie's in the ku-kluix trials. The Newsg and C'otr(ier is informed that the jury fair ly rep~resente both parties, and is comn '1' posed generally of men of' good stand ing. If thais be true the Radical game of persecutions will fail. Only one danuger exists-good men are loth to leaveC their work in April, and somec of themr endeavor to havt, themnselves~ excused. Ini such case vacancies areI filled from the by.standlers, who ar'e frequently mere loafers and bummers. All courts, Federal and State alike, I 4 are too lax In granting excuses. Since juries are supreme arbiters of the litfe, liberty and property of their fellow.' citizensi, only the bes'.t me shoukdi be united in~ ani ci'urt to imrify thne jurr I' and their work shiould notI be set at if 1,flnauhit by the delinquencyi.'1 of the good jurymen!.

Fel a Ditrii t III - bonth Unrolina in I ongrxA, they have a right to say h'almethitig about-who sallbI represent tis section in the Cabinet. If the e publicans suppress in the latter, they wtust expect cihere to profit by the exiample. It is perfectly logical in all this, and the sooner it teaches colored voters to go with those who can best help them, the better it will be for then. This is the way the Radicals treat "niegro" preaumption after they have secured his vote. "Brain" is the standard by v hich all the selections should be nade and doubtless will be; the selection of a man because of his color or nationality is not lepublican, it is un-Americal. If the colored eitizens are not repre sented in the Cabinet by one of their own race, it is to be hoped that the) will not fool that thev are not repre Sentoied at all. Thu )epublican party has long since plcdgcd itself to the millions its bayonets made free, and their needs will be considered at all times. The selection of a Cabinet without a colored member will mean no disrespect or danger to the race. It will simply niean that a better man has beci founil, one more fitted to the work at his hand, than would be either of the men01 chosen by the colored pt!o ple, and in this selection, which will be tr the good of the whole people, none will more quickly conenr, we be lieve, thanm the intelligent, Portion of the colored race. The Augusta Chronicle sagely com ments upon the above, and says: "This is a clear intimation that no colored man is to be appointed to a Cabinet position, because the colored voters have no representatives "fitted to the work." This is a startling declaration i the face of the constant asservera tions of the Republican press that there are numbers of colored mnein who are ''fitted to the work" of Governors, Leg-ilators and Judges of Southern states. If they are fitted for the one they are litted for the other, aid no amoumt of crawfilshing will make the country believe the contrary." T1rTCJCIR AFT' AxD MUltDE R.
