He and f his partners did not get ;, along well together and they withdrew, leaving him in possession of " the property. Failing to comply with the terms of the lease, suits were instituted against him and he was after a contest of some -duration finally ejected, lie was very poor then; but had pluck,- and; scrambled along courageously. He was .a vvig; orous and active partisan, soon got control of the negroes and was the organizer of the union leagues which the Republican party found so effec tive in commanding the colored vote. By the negro vote he was elected to the first constitutional ' conventioh held," later to the legislature, .and still ater one of the Superior court judges, which position he held dur ing the kuklU3t ' days.. He" Weumiii ated some money, which he invest ed in business, enterprises and in property in Greensboro, but the en terprises. failed and he became bankrupt-; In the meantime he had writ ten' his Fool's -Errand, which he offered, after laying in his drawers for a year or so, to the :New York Tribune for a few hundred dollars. without success. When the Garfield campaign opened the manuscript was shown to the Republican ' campaign managers, who thought it ' would make a good campaign document, and a vast edition of it was published n book form, and it sold so well that he author realized thousands of dol- ars from it. ' This was followed by similar works, which . also sold well, his profits from all and lectures which he delivered in the meantime' amounts ing, it is said, to $100,000 or more. He then ; "concluded to start "The Century, V a monthly publication, at Philadelphia, which proved such a failure that he moved it to ! New York, where it died, but not until it had bankrupted him. He is a man of much more than ordinary po wers, vigorous and bold in the advbcacy of his views, and a natural born agitator, never appa rently more happy than when every body was pegging at him. As a figure in New York politics, however, he will be insignificant. Like many of the other creatures which the pecu- iar condition of -the South during the days of reconstruction brought to the surface and made prominent, his day is past and bis' occupation gone. - Governor Hill, of New York, feels confident of election if the : Decao- crats of New York city will come to the scratch like the Democrats of the remainder of the State. It may be remarked incidentally that the trou ble with the New York Democracy always comes from the dickering, corrupt f actions in New York city. : ; . It is said that " the friends of Mr. Blaine in Vermont are pulling the wires to prevent, if they can, the re election of Senator Edmunds, be cause he didn't take much stock in Blaine in the last election. They are going to bring out ex-Go v. Smith against him, the wealthiest man in the State, and entirely unscrupulous as to the Use of money to accomplish his schemes.: - ."- Six murders in one month is the T homicidal record of Fayette county i Pa., in which it is said a perfect reign of terror prevails.
