NKWSfAPKR KNTERl'RISfC, When the average new«pnper reader sits back In his chair and peruses ac­ counts ot latest railroad disaster, conflagatlon, riot, or of any extraordi­ nary affair of universal Interest, he rarely pauses to think of the amount of labor and sacrifice that the writer has expended in ascertaining the facts and presenting them in a readable form. Incidents are of frequent oc­ currence which tend to prove that the newspaper reporter, especially upon the great metropolitan dailies, has to meet a 1 »rge variety of responsibilities and duties than the members* «r any other profession. A circu n8tance brought to light In connection with the report of the col­ lision in which the Oregon was sunk, says an exchange, illustrates in a very forcible manner the difficulties that are dally encountered and surmounted by the nimble-brained tollers on the press. Upon receiving news of the ac­ cident on Sunday, (he New York Times hired a tugboat,and despatched therein to the scene of the catastrophe three of it* most trustworthy repor­ ters--Messrs. Fielders. Kenney and Bronson. The boat mec the steamer, Fulda, which carried the rescued passengers, aud contrary to the provi­ sions of the law, the reporters were allowed to board her before the health officer had arrived. Luck was up to this point with the journalists, for they managed to obtain from the rescued passengers an exhaustive ac­ count of the disaster and the incMents that followed. In tiie meantime, the tug boat was following the Fulda, prepared to take the reporters again on board when they had accomplished their mission. But "the best laid Plans of mice and men, gang aft agleeA When the officers of the Fulda learned who their visitprs were they refused to allow them to disembark until the vessel reached quarantine, which would bring them to the city several hours too late for Monday's paper. Here Was a vexatious predicament. The three reporters held a counsel of war, so to speak. They Anally decided that one of them must jump overboard and take his chances of reaching the tug. It was two u'clock in the morning, and black as pitch. They drew lots and the dangerous mission fell to Mr Fielders. Giving hi» watch and other in return their niai.iiH'rlpi. Mi Fielders waited unt il the tug l»a«l come as near the vessel as posaib'e, when lie holdlv leaped into the durki>e»s.

The negi ue hear6 and knows of the incidents like tint which took place at Carrollton, Missis­ sippi, on the 17th inst., when thirteen colored men were shot down in cold blood in a court room, where they were being arraigned on the charge whether true or false of having wound­ ed a white man. They know where democracy is supreme the uegroe lias no rights that the white man is bound to respect, and the mere doling out of a few crumbs to a few who are ambitiou8of place cannot change the heart, the conscience, or the votes of the colored men who know that their future elevation lies solely and only in the success of the Republican Party. Bar A number of railway conductors and officers were spinning yarns the other day, when one of thetn related how he had been once chased by fifty Indians. He had an old shot-gun, and succeeded In killing Ave, and after un­ dergoing unheard of personal encou i- ters, had esoaped. "Oh, that's nothing,* said another: "I was chased by thirty Indians once. In my efforts to escape 1 ran Into a 'canyon' where the rocks were perpendicular for two hundred feet. Suddenly I came to a halt, for before me was solid rock, and thirty blood-thirsty Indiana In hot pursuit." He stopped his narrative a moment, when one of thef parly ventured to a*>k how he escaped. S^Oh, I did'nt escape," he said, tnrning toward tne gentleman who had just closed his story.' the Indians killed me. There was a silence that was only brokeu by a gurgling like sound of rich liquor rolling down aifcempty gullet. •SrNigger killing aa au industry is looking up at tbe South. Thirteen at one time is tho latest Mississippi rec ord. The fact that there was no politics |n these murders throws a heavier weight oa the general cussed- neu of the section. A I®"If any one can tell in what ro- spect the Administration is governing the country better than it was govern­ ed in the tlnffc ot Mr. Hayes or Geo. Arthur, let him speak out. There is more prpfessioj of excellence than In the last administration, but is there anymore reality In It? • • • • * Is there then any cause for wonder that the relations between the Demo­ cratic party and the administration it elected are strained? A man does not like to be a victim of misplaced confi­ dence. A party does not like to be either. Whatever the cause and of whomever the fault, the fact remalna that the Democratic party la disap­ pointed; It believes Itself wreuged; ft feels itself deceived; it regards Itself a* put out of consl ieiation; it esteems itself to be held in distrust and disre­ pute by the administration It elected. It sees little to speak of that is Demo­ cratic in the deliberate and voluutary action of the administration. It does not rate receptions which vie with the gaudy splendor of Rome at the climax of her rottenness and on the eve of her fall, to be typically Democratic. It does not think that a vulgar preference tor the ric|» for public place is Demo cratic. The toilets and equipages and conservatories and parties of aiusbroom millionaires do not impress it as extra­ ordinarily Democratic. The conver­ sion of fhe social occasions of a politi­ cal centre Into events that for extravi- gance exceed all parvenu precedents is not hailed as transcendeutallv Demo­ cratic.

The writer said lie had stolen Groner's 930 forty two years ago, and had never been able to repay it. Tbe check was for the missing money with Interest. KaF*The request of the President for ti.e resignation of Gov. Murray,jof Utah, tiie first man holding that posi­ tion who has enforced the laws* naturally raises a suspicion as to the genuineness and sincerity of his anti- Mormon dec aration. The appoint­ ment of a successor will be watched witli intense interest. The present la a most inopportune time for letting up on the polygamous Mormons, who re­ joice greatly at Murray's removal, and hope for a successor who will not en­ force the Edmunds law. Of Gov. Murray the Boston Times says; He is probably the best-hated man In Utah. By his vigorous enforcement of the Edmuuds law lie has secured the ill-will of the Mormons, who have been laboring to get rid of him since the incoming Democratic administration Having already i;iven the Democratic party a loyal support, they have fe't themselves entitled to consideration and Gov. Murray's removal they will nat.irally r»»sj'ird »s h victory. gB^The tirookh n Eagle appears to cherUh di-like of the once coddled. If not esteemed mugwumps.

Adam Smith, the father of political eooaomy or science of values, informs us that la England, In 1465 tbe price of wheat was 1 shilling and 2 pence per quarter; that is considerbly less than 1 penee per bushel.. As the money stock waa being replenished from the American mines, >v«stern Europe entered upon i career of commercial and industrial prosperity ne*er known before. The *am<* authority tells us that from 1861 'o 1601, a period of forty years, the average price of wheat in EngUnd was 47- 5Jd per quarter. Ttie gold mines ire now becoming exhausted.
