The Secretary of State has received a dispatch from our minister at The Hague, giving additional information in regard to a proposition of the Netherlands government to levy protective duties on imported breadstuffs.

Delays an(l Confusion Caused by the Blundersof the Bccktold Book-Sellers. Child Murderer ComraitU Suicide in rrison Opening of the PeTauw University . State Miscellany. INDIANA. A Sample of the Difficulties Experienced Under the New School-Dook Law. Special to tit a Iwllanaiwiia Journal Danvillk, Sept. 20. County Superintendent Gossett is still having trouble with the Indiana School-book Company. With an honest desire to comply with the requirements of the new law, he from the first urged tho trustees to do all in their power to create a friendly feeling for the new series, and to make early requisitions for all needed supplies. Ho was successful in reconciling tho board and tho people to the new dispensation, and as early as Aug. 7 made a general requisition for all the townships. He had received on July 15 a circular-letter from the school-book company, in which the company, while reminding him that tho law allowed it ninety days in which to till tho orders throughout the State, assured him that Hendricks county should be supplied with all books needed within twenty days in good time to lit nut and grade the classes. Twenty and thirty days passed and not a book c-'ine, though Superintendent Gossett had from the company repeated assurances that the books would all be on hand before the schools commenced. The schools of the county opened Sept. 9 without books. Tho teachers delaved organization for two or three days. Ihe superintendent kept notifying the book companv of his embarrassment, and the company kept repeating their false promises. , , L.ast week a shipment ot dooks reacneu. Danville. Upon opening them Mr. Gossett found that the shipment was for the Danville schools, but was incomplete. There were several blunders in the bill of lading, three ininortant omissions in the supplies b one of the readers, the complete arithme tics and the entire series of wnting-boons. Meantime, no books had . arrived for the other townships, and none came till yesterday, when a box of supplies for Eel ltiver township reached its destination, after going the rounds of the State in a vain effort to tind 4,Eel Kiver township, Henderson county, Indiana," which was the address written on the box. Upon opening this box the superintendent found several mistakes and disagreements between the bill of lading and the supplies. Among the omissions were the copy-books. Not a number of this series has yet reached this county. To heighten the county superintendent s embarrassment, an appeal made by him to the State Superintendent brought hack the inexorable answer: "You must use the new books." The books sent are in very bad condition, having been' awkwardly packed. Several were entirely spoiled and cannot be used. The entire blame for all this trouble rests upon the Indiana Schoolbook Company. Preferred Ieath to Life Imprisonment. Fpocial to the Indianapolis Journal Monti cello, Sept. 20.

PROTOSED EXODES OF NEGROES. ' What a Colored Man's Newspaper Has to Say on the Subject Better Treatment Demanded. Charleston, S. C, Sept. 20.Tho Plain Speaker, a weekly newspaper, edited by colored men, comes out to-day with the following editorial on the proposed exodus of the colored people from the South: A pre at deal is beiug said Just now In some of the leading journals of the South concerning the dispersion of the wvxo. The I'lain Sneaker has not seen lit to say very much about it. for the reason that we considered the subject as discussed a hue joke. The idea of deporting millions of Tree American cltizeus to .Culm, Mexico or any other place is simply preposterous. Our position touching the subject is this: We understand our constitutional rights and consider it presumptuous on the part of any one to dictate to freemen as to whether they must go or stay. Apain, we take this view of the Kituation: In those sections of the State and in other Southern grates where the negro is oppressed as a lalorer. has poor wages paid him, and that in checks and orders; where he is forced to pay exorbitant prices for the necessaries of life; where ho is cruelly treated and there is no redress we repeat, in those sections where this is the case we advise that a demand be made for better treatment. and If that be not given, then we counsel that systematic steps he taken to inaugurate an emi gration scheme similar to the one devised in North Carolina. We think it in order now for the farmers and merchants to sneak out touching this Important matter. Tne ouicker itht better, since many of the Journalists have had their say. This might as well be stated: There are thousands of nccroes in this state who have worked hard and saved their scanty 'barnlners. have purchased comfortable homes and are building schoolhouses and churches. They are educating their children. They are concerned in the various enterprises which tend to build up the communi ties in which they live. They will not emitrrare. They will continue to live and will die in the sunny South. LABOR CONVENTIONS. Miners Addressed by Mrs. Uarry and Mr. Powderly A Protest Against Politics. Wilkesbarue, Pa., Sept. 20.
