He went to Egypt for the purpos of making ethnologi- cal studies, to see 1f he could not find some trace of the connection between the Egyp- tian races,for the purpose of giving, if possible, a better standing for his people in the eyes of the world. Mr. Douglass said; ‘‘ 1 was disappointed in my resear- ches in Egypt, The inhabitauts they have many of the traits of negro, his childish- ness, his happy disposition, his lack of energy and grave ambitions But I must confess that the evidence of relationship yery meager, Egypt is a wonderful coun- try, the mother of everthnig we kuow concerning so-called civilization. It was there that Greese learned her first lesson. Iwas lost in admiration during my visit to Greese over the wonderful de- velopment of the people of such an early period in the known history of the world “What place visited by you interested you the most?”” **Rome. There was more there to im- press any one from a new country. That city probably had a greater influence up- on civilizaion then any others, Its system of government its laws and its colonization ideas are at the basis of the government of our advanced nations of to-day. I was greatly surprised at Italy. I had expected to find sloth and retrogression. On the coutrary, I fond evidences of the birth of a new nation. Everywhere there is industry and reviving energy. The new life has even reached to Florence, the deadest city on the continent. I belieye that where the greatness and prosperity of nations have passed on and beyond them that they re- turn again. They are certainly coming back to Italy.” “What do you think of the prospect of the Pope’s becoming reconciled with the Italian Goverment on the basis of uuzaal recognation and agreement?”’ “1 do not think that it will amount to anything.

The Washington Cadets and the Capital City Guard have seen the folly of look- ing at each other with jealous eyes; have decided to throw down the gauntlet and be friends. It was very commendable on the part of the Guard to escort the Cadets from Camp after the Na- tional Drill, which was the cause ofa more friendly relationship to exist. We would suggest that our col- ored district militia come togeth- er and have a reunion which we beleive will tend to great good. In fact there should be a_ consoli- dation of our district militia, with one commandiug officer. Fhe death of EX-VICE PRESIDENT WHEELER is universally regretted. He was aman of great forethought and political sagacity. Ever since the death of his estimable wife, Mr. Wheeler has been on the decline. The republican party looses one of its brightest minds.

The temperament of the French people needed success for their better de- velopment. A great and crushing defeat now might lead to a anarchy and to over throw of the Republic. Mr. Douglass admires Landon. ‘ts is,” said he, “the great city of the word, en- shrouded in smoke and gloom. Its mighty forces reach out to the uttermost corners of the earth. Its vastness of power grows upon mé as Icomein contack with its busy life.’” Iu speaking of the comparatiye condit- ions of men studed by him, he said: “1 am going home with the knowledge that the average man inthe United States is betteF ted, clothed and sheltered than in any other part of the world.’’ PROBATE JUDGE WHIPPER ACQUITTED, THE DECREE OF THE COURT. AN OR- DER TO EXHONORATE HIM. The court at chambers during Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, after the adjournment of the Ses sions heard arguments on amo tion to vacate the order of arrest in the case of. Thos. ©. Scott, guardian, against W. J. Whipper as Probate Judge. J. B. Howe ap- peared for the plaintiff Scott and S..J Lee, Thos. H. Wheeler and A.H. Ezekiel appeared for the defendent, Whipper. On Tuesday evening the papers in the case were read and Thos. H. Wheeler, Esq., opened the ar- gument for the defendent, he was followed by,J.B. Home Esq., for the plaintiff S. J. Lee, Exq., of Charleston, commenced his argu- ment but the matter was adjourn- ed on account of the lateness of the hour. On Wednesday evening additional affidavits were filed on both sides touching matters al- ready in evidence and Mr. Lee resumed his argument at the eon- clusion of which Judge Hudson took the papers and announced that he would as soon as possi- ble render his decision. On Friday he anuvouced bis decis- ion which is as follows: State of South Carclina, County of Beaufort, In the Common pleas. Solomon Fripp, Simon Fripp, Pol- ly Fripp & Lavinia Fripp, Infants; by Thomas C. Scott, Guardian ad litem—Plaintiffs, against W. J. Whipper as Probate Judge of Beaufort,—Det’t. Complaint to Re- cover Money. Upon this complaint and affida- vits in support of it, the defendent was arrested, and after a brief im- prisonment, gave bail. The mat- ter came up before me on a motion to vacate the order of arrest granted by Clerk of this Court. From the pleadings and aflida- vits submitted on both sides, the following are the facts of the case: Last January, Thomas O. Scott was appointed gaurdian of the property of the plaintiffs by the Probate Court in and for Beaufort, and give his bond with S. M. Wal- lace and J. F. Hutchings, sureties thereon. The Guardian received in- to his possession $905.23, funds of the minors, and deposited the same for safe keeping with S. M. Wallace, his ablest surety, and a good business man. Inthe month of April last, the guardian, Scott agreed to purchase of Robert Smalls a tract of land as an in- vestment for his wards; and ap- plied to the Probate Judge, W. J. Whipper to approve the purchase, and this be seems to _ have done, but the proceedings I have not before me aud I am not in- foimed that it was done in due form. The Probate Judge says that no formal application for invest- ment was ever made. Hearing of this and uot being satisfied with the matter, the sureties on Scott’s bond petitioned the Probate Court to be relieved from the bond. The guardian appeared before the Court, an accounting was had, the sureties and guardian attending, the funds in the hands of S. M. Wallace were delivered to the Probata Judge aud the sureties were relieved from further liabili- ty. The guardian and Smalls desir- ing still to consamate the pur- In his answer the Probate denies this. The Probate Judge refused to pay over the money to Sevtt after his sureties were released from the bond, and deposited the same with one of the sureties ou his official bond where the money now is, a certificate of suid de— poposit being held by the Probate Judge. [le alleges that he is ready to hear any application for an in- vestment of said money in behalf of said minors and is willing to approve and order the same to be made on proof of its property. * * * * W. J. Whipper, as Probate Judge, admits that he has the money sued for on safe deposit, says that he is ready to pay tu any lawfully entitled to receive it, and denies that he has converted or attempted to convert it to hia own use. He denies all allega- tions of fraud, and the weight of the sworn testimoney is in favor of his statements. - Confusion will only be inereas- ed, and expenses accumulated by irregular proceedings to get this money. From’ a consideration vt allthe papers submitted to mu and after weighing argument of counsel Iam of opinion that the order of arrest must be vacated, and it is so ordered. It is further ordered that au exoneration be entered upon the Bail Bond and the defendent be discharged from arrest. It is further ordered that all afii- davits submitted for plaintiffs and defendants be filed with the re- cords of the case and form a pars thereof. At Chambers. (Signed) | J.

JOHN F COOK ELECTED GOVERN- OR. A NEW JUDGE NOMINATED. A SENSATION OVER THE SUPPOSED APPOINTMENT OF A WHITE MAN IN THE PRESIDENT’S CABINET. THE ELECTION OF A PRESIDENE NEXT YEAR. NEWS &C. Not since the famous Carroltou massacre, in the 19th centuary, has there been @ greater sensation created than the assasination of 40 white meu in acourt of justice, in South Carolina, by colored bandits. The governor of South Carolina failed to call out the militia, so un- der the last constitutional amend- ment, the president has the power to call on the United States troops to protect the citizens, and has is sued the following proclamation : Executive office, Meridian Hill, Washington, D. C., June 7, 2152. The Secretary ot War, be and is hereby commanded t send a bat- talion of troops forthwith to Charleston, So th Carolina, and cause the immediate arrest of cer- tain colored citizens, who assasina- ted in the court house at Charles- ton, a party of peacable white citizens, against the laws of the states and in vidlation of the late amendment to the constitution of the United States. Donein the city of Washington, this year of our Lord June 7th 2152, by order of the president, Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Edward J, Waring, Secretary of State, Mr. Waring was appointed Sec- retary of State just in time to is- sne a famous and beneficial prve- lamation by order of the president. This act on the part of the presi- | dent is one of the greatest acts of his life. Weare of the opinion that president Bruce will be hard to defeat next year. It is a diabol- ical shame that harmless white | citizens ot the South,‘are not al- | lowed to be tried in a court-house | of justice.
