"This gentleman, a venerable resident of Gu?fortl, Conn., has given a mil Hen dollars, the interest of which goes to the purpose of educating the colored p; youths of $e South* Probably $50, 000 annuai?y will be derived, from this source. This makes the second great % benefaction to the cause of education asaoDg the colored people of. the late slave States* the other being the.gift of Mr. B. E. Slater, the Rev. Attic us G. Haygood being the agent. Mr. Hand desires to see the colored - youth taught industrial occupations. We regard his bead as being as level **n that subject as his hand has been generous. There is a lamentable lack fpf this sort of training among colored > people and white. We have observed -a tendency on the part of the colored ; people, when somewhat educated, to i forsake agricultural and industrial pur - sails* sad get an easy life by 4 -keeping Store" or teaching school. Such a per ??oo as a skilled mechanic among the ?$4 younger generation of blacks, is as rare - as the white blackbird ; perhaps, we v j- ^ should rather say, as nearly extinct as - the far-famed dodo. Tbis is all wrong. They cannot all I ieep store-or teach, and wbea the head alone is educated'it seems to lead too - saaoy of them to tbe penitentiary. But if the head, the heart, and the band, , _,. are all. alike developed, no such results will follow, and the colored race will be enabled to leave off its parasitical tend -^eaey and set up in life as an iodepend-** g eut existence. Herein is its hops. But sad* - benefactions give rise to i *e?her and somewhat startling possibii -jtwt. . it ? a fact that the colored children are more eager for an educa *tion than the white, and should this eagerness be aided by such means of . gratification and extension as this, while tbe indifference of tbe whites ewaH continue and their schools be open ed only three or four months put of tbe twelve, tbe question arises 44What is "the natural and logical outcome of this state of facts TT It will not do to say that the colored people are incapable of - development, Be must be blind in deed and ignorant in addition, who can not see the wonderful advances in all material respects which they have made since 1865. Has tbe situation no food for thought ia it to us ? Will we, in oar usual happy go-lucky way, consign such tilings to the limbo of tbe unim portant and tbe visionary ? THE CLOUDS ABE DAHK. There is always something dramatic ta the close of a great Presidential cam paign when the whole nation stands wkh bated breath to see what is the resalt of the people's will. At last tbe ; &reat eampaign of 1888 is over and the indications for Democratic success and goo??government a?e ra?her gloomy just at present. "Bat bepe b brightest when it dawns from fears.** We arc therefore hopeful (hat these first re ports may be similar to those of four years ago, when tbe Republican victory seemed so certain for several days after the election that many who bet on tbe Democratic ?Je gave it up and paid their bets. Four years ago Clere?and wa.v?kcl od, SBd it was a Goc.-cnd* to the Amcr lo&n people, and it is hard to believe t&tki the biessiug given to us then will be so soon taken away by the election of Harrison, wbich rocaus *i?e return of Bepttbiicani>m in all its ferocity, ex travagance and unjust taxation. We subscribe to every word cf the New York J/erulJ to tbe effect that the election of Mr. Cleveland in ISSi ji ateant tbe pacification of tbe Republic lirs administration bas answered every i hope then inspired. His re-elvctiou means tbe proud and happy fulfilment ofthat beneficent mission, and is dc ' saaaded by the highest interests of the K^paWic. ? llll?ll IMII Ml III.? IT LOOZS LIKE HAiiiilSON. The present indications are that Har rison will be our uext President. It is thought that the Republicans have car tried Jfew York, Indiana is doubtful, i?ew Jersey bas gone Democratic, but Connecticut has gone Republican, and tfcere is little hope that any of the West?? States may bef added to tbe Democratic side. The New York World says that "the indications are that Harrison : has carried New York1 State by a small plurality. Gains which he is making in the State prom ise to wipe out the 74,000 plurality for Cleveland this side of Harlem river, and leave Harrison: a fair margin of 8.000. Upon this basis tbe election of Harrison and Morton mast be conceded. A press telegram from New York gives the opinion of the leading papers as follows : The World concedes it, the Tribune cautiously asserts it, tbe Times doubts it, the Sun states it, the Herald doubtfully admits it and the Press pro claims it with a whoop. The result of the election is not definitely known at 2 A 1V?., teit tbe chances are against t tb9 Democrats, as the Republicans claim to have carried New York, a loss which there appears to be no making up. \ The New York Tribune claims that the next.House of Representatives will be Republican by from 20 to' 25 ma jority New Yobk, November 7. A. M. The vote complete for mayor is: Ehrhardt (Rep )S7.72l : Grant (Tarn) 107,537; Hewitt (C D ) 68,134 ; Coogan (Labor) j 9,465. Matt Qaay telegraphs to Har rison, claiming New York by 14:000 Col. Brice states that the Republicans have only heard from their own strong holds, and that the Siate is still all right. There is no possibility of know ing accurately to-night. The State Democratic Committee estimate Cleveland's plurality at 2-500. The corrected and official plurality of /Cleveland ia the tbe city is 57.255. In Virginia the Democrats have elect ed 7 or 8 Congressmen, again of 3 or 4. tbe latest. Several telegrams have been received here duriog the day and all are favora ble to the success of Harrison, and everything at present points to bis eiec- ; tioo. The following telegram was received hare at half-past three o'clock this after noon : New York, Nov. 7.?The Evening Post says returns leave no reasonable doubt of tbe elcetioc of the Republican Fresideotibl Ticket. Very little re turns received- from country districts, but there is no reason to think at this writing that the State will give a dem ocratic plurality. Jodiana still iu doubt. Elecion in the County. Sumter County has given Col. Win. Elliott a handsome majority. Every precinct went democratic except State burg, and that went republican by a majority of 06\ (Inofficial returns give E|liott!s majority about 1,000. There was no opposition to the souuty and state tickets. The" election was very quiet and peacable throughout the coun ty, and there was much less interest shown by tbe colored vote than iu any .presioas general electiou. (From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, Nov. ^1888. The President by his prompt and courageous action in dismissing Lord Sack ville, tbe British Gr.oister, has turned bis meddling letter, cpoo which the republican managers hung their last hopes, into a boomerang that in its recoil will knock the republican party out of existence. It is ooly another striking example of the manner iu which the wicked fall ioio the pits they have prepared for others. When the j republican parry, through its managers, entered into a ccispiracy with the British minister tu write a letter en dorsing the candidacy of Mr. Ulsve land, they imagined that they had con-. cocted a scheme which would give Blaine?I beg pardon ; Harrison?'the eutire Irish vote of tbe country, but they mistook tbe man they bad to deal with. As soon as- Mr. Cleveland ascertained that the letter wa9 genuine, he instructed Secretary Bayard to in form the British Minister that he could go. And at the same time the English government was informed that the United States bad dismissed Lord Sack ville, and would no Tor.ger recogDize | him as the representative of that gov-1 ernmeut. By this action Mr. Cleveland bas; [ made thousands of friends even among ; republicans, for Lord Sac it ?i lie's letter was su iusult to every American citiaen, republican as well as democrat, and if any doubt had regained his election, his sturdy and uncoropromiiio^ Ameri canism in this u;atter would have in stantly removed it. j Senator Morgan said cf Lord Sack j vi!l??*s dismissal : 'I can only say that 1 j tfiiuk it ?ras an 8ct entirely worthy of i the President, acd one which I coo j fiJont-Iy expected be would perform. Public Printer Benedict said : 'I I think Lord Sack ville'? letter was an I iosult to the President and to the I people. It estimates the President as ; a demsgo^uo by intimating that in ; important Sta*e matters afiV-tiug the 1 interests and dignity of the whole peo ; pie in connection with fwrcit'n cl?drs. ; be had exprcisoed Lijisclf sok!y with a j view cf affecting parly results in a [ political esropai^a. Any n;?a who ! knows president Cleveland knows that j be would not. descend to any such j ievcl.

Bob Ingersoll says tko pepub?b-y Batiooal committee is composed of cracks. The letter of Lord Sack ville makes thorn appear as something Tforso than cranks. Tbe U. S S. Kea-rsago has been ordered to Ilayti as soon as she can got ready, k beiog rumored that tbe Ilaytiau government had seized an American vessel at Port-an-Prince. The republicans of this city are thoroughly; disheartened - with the out look, while the democrats are confident and anxious to bet tbeir money oo dem ocratic success. There is at least ^100,000 of democratic money posted in different places around the city to bet on Cleveland, but there are no takers. As the gamblers say, 'money talks.' Speaking figuratively, ? should .say that Lord Sackville found Mr. Cleve land's boot beavily soled. The United States Supreme Court has decided that no stare tas a right to impose a tax upon commercial drum "mers residing in another state. ?. S. Treasurer F?yatt, who-returned from Connecticut this week, bas no doubt of Cleveland's carrying that state by a larger majority than in 18S4. Representative S S. Cox passed through here this week on bis way to New York from Michigan, where he hai been stumpiog. He ?3 confident that Cleveland will carry Michigan* MurchisoD cannot be foend, although J1.000 reward is offered for him. He is probably identical with the man who struck Billy Patterson. South Carolina Leads. . South Carolina so far "has surpassed with her preparations ail other states, cor porations or enterprises at the Augusta National Exposition. Her pyramid of pbospbato rock, her cabinet of woods, fish and mineral ; ber collection of grains and gems are something likely to open the eyes of the world. Rich mond county is a dangerous rival for the- floor on the Western wing and directly in the rear of the Carolina ag gregation. Indeed, if what we hear of the preparations of the Farmers' Club be true, their exhibit will be something wonderful. But Carolina is mistress of the main building so-far, even over shadowing in the. present stage of finish the government display. This state of supremacy recalls Calhouaism in its most transcendant - era. But those who imagine that South Carolina, which was the first figure in the seces slon drama, is also the last to re cuperate from the tragedy, have only to walk the floor of the main building. She has erected a m?nament more du rable than brass and loftier than the pyramiuds themselves. There is going to be a struggle over the Exposition this inonjh, in attend ance and civic and military display, be tween Carolina and the rest of the world.
