But Nettie had hardly reached the park gate before Emma ran to the door to call her back. ‘Nettie, rtopi,’.she said, but Nettie was running on,:out faciog the cold wind, and she heeded not the call. ‘How foolish, how miserably silly and presumptieus I have been. Ob, foolish, foolish me,’ and Emma cried for very vexation. Viola read the note with a puzzled ex pression, and almost pained surprise. She hardly recollected the silly tattlo she had iudulged in the evening before, and least of all, did she dream why anyting she had said could have so affected Emma. Her nature was too generous to impute an uu» worthy or selfish motive to her regal friend, and all tremulous with a fear that she had thoughtlessly wounded Emma’s feel'ngs. She wrote: My dear Miss Emma:—Your note sur prises and pains me. I fear that in my silly ablasteveningjunwittinglysaid somethin" to offend you. I hardly know what I did say. but suppose that it was like I am always saying, something very silly and very thoughtless, an j of which I am now heartily ashamed, but of this I am sure that my tongue would cleave to the roof of my mouth'-fhrev r, ero it would intent on- aliy utter a word that would offend you, my dear, dear’ friend: Then, M iss Emma, if I have offended you, please forgive- Middleton A^nggleton. ‘I hardly think ■thaL.I am failing in my skill, while lam I ain not pained to answer your questions.

Do not thiuk that I will, for a moment, think angrily of you, for your friendly in terest in my happiuess. It is a. sweet as surance of your friendship, a friendship I .value beyond price. I hope,-my dear Miss Emma, that you will forgive my thought less gossip, aud as an earnest ot your for- giveness, I hope to sec you, soon, sitting in my own rocking chair, by the cheery warmth of my fire. 1- ‘AT Yours ever, Viola. ’-‘Here, Nettie, have a roasted apple, and then take this back to Miss Emma, and be sure, Nettie, and tease her until she comes to see mo,’said Viola, as she offered the simple refreshment, and handed her note to the servant. _ ' , And Emma'read the note with conflict ing emotions. Her first impulse was to shr’nk back in a selfish disappointment at the closing of the little rift iu the cloud of her destiny that let out astray gleam of hope, but it was only for a moment, net* better' nature came out agam, and she thought hgtter of Viola, better of Iliratu, tor their truth to each other, and she thought better of her own self for thinking so-of them. _ ' ‘ '* ‘I ought to have known Viola better, bless her joyous childish little heart. She is nothing but a child, and I was foolish for listening to her thoughtless chatter,’ she said, as she folded Viola’s note away. Her earnest offorgiveDess was given, and the very next day Emma was sitting in Viola’s softest and most comfortaUc rock ing chair, with the cheery glow of a crack ling fire reflected from her rosy cheeks . The subject nf tlio correspondence was not alluded to, neither was the ’name of Hiram, nor the name of Winthrop men tioned. ‘ ..." iJlut the day was pleasantly spent,Vi- ola trying at first to restrain her hoyden levity, but at length yielding to its merry gladness, and litterally her little tongue rattled as mcrrliy as a bell clapper. And its laughing chimes were refreshing and gyatoful to Emma, while her own spirits were quickened with a livelier flow. Mrs. Middleton Muggleton joined the lively girls after awhile, and at length the- kindly face of Mr. Mildletfm Muggleton peeped in, and Viola cried, as she 'caught f.

The ruddy cheek glowed with fatberiy smiles, and they all laughed. ■’ ‘I fear Miss Emma will think that you are quite a spoilt baby.V said Mrs. Mid dleton Muggleton, with a light in her eve, that sa : d as plainly as words could have said, ‘and a mighty precious one.’ ‘Oh, Miss Emma knows ho v it is herself.’ laughed Viola. But Miss Emma did not know bon it was herself- No sueli unaffected, unmis takable ebullition of domestic love and gladness had ever lit np the heart of her home, aud as she contrasted the loving tones of the old man’s voice, and the kindiy affection of his glance as it rested so ten derly upon the smiling face of his wife, with the usually harsh rough manner of her father towards her own tender mother, she could hardly refrain from b iwing her beautiful head, and weeping for shame and sorrow. ‘Dear, kind, loving-hearted old gentle man,’she mummered, within hersell, ‘hap py wile, and merry joyous Viola, and was it amid such scenes as these that Hiram Lavender learned to love yon. I do not wonder at his love, but why, oh why, could not he content himself with this earthly paradise, without reaching out to destroy my own.’ But these mutnmerings were hushed within her own breast, and she forced a. smile, as she replied to Mr. Middleton Muggleton’s remark. ‘No, I hardly thiuk Viola is spoilt, and if she is, the spoiling so well becomes her that I do not wonder at your indulging her.’ ‘Yes, mother always thinks I am spoilt whenever I beat her or papa playing,’ said Viola, putting on an air of injured inno cence.’ ‘Which is not near s> often as yen would have Miss Emma believe,’ laughing ly arswered Mr. Middleton Muggleton. Oh, no, 1 au frank to give papa and mama too, the credit of sometimes beating me, and even if I do beat them, Miss Em- do you not think that they ought to be proud of my proficiency, seeing that I am their pupil as well as child.’ said Viola. Yes, indeed they ought, and I suspect they are, only they do not wish to make you vain by telling you so,’ laughed Em ma. Certainly, Miss Emma, with all our for- biding depreciation of the little peacock’— Peacock,’laughingly interrupted Viola, just listen at that Miss Emma, not content with accusing me of cheating, my fond and indulgent papa now goes on to unsex me. Was ever a little saint more sorely .tried?’ Mr. Middleton Muggleton’s hale ruddy cheeks blushed stiil more ruddy as he per ceived his/rm.r JJo.y, and the laogb rang so merily against him, that he had to join in himself to. save his confusion. Poor papa,’ continued Viola, assuming the voice of pity, ‘that you see is what comes of wrongfully accusing innocence, soyou had better confess at once thatl am—’ A little angel,’ interupted Mr. Middle- ton Muggleton, reaching out his hand, and stroking her rich browD hair.’ Oh, no, a provoking little tease who is no more worthy to call you father,’ she an swered, bouncing up from her chair, and seating herself upon his lap, kissing him as she wound her dimpled arms around his neck. -’ " **• Emma thought it was a beautiful pic ture, that hale hearty checked old man, holding that pretty maiden upon his knees, while her rich golden tresses were scattered over his snowy locks, and as Bhe contem plated it her thoughts, again drew a parallel between Viola’s and her own surroundings and she wondered, if such a heart and such a home had been hers if the fateful shadows would have clung so sadly around her own destiny; and thus it was, the queen ly beauty, accustomed to wealth, and lux ury, would have been willing, glad, to ex change the princely splendors of her home, for the loving light of the humble home of Viola Muggleton.

Whaflis the best method of selecting seed corn?” is a question asked in a North ern section, and we see it was discussed and answered in a club meeting of that persis tent body of farmers, the Washington Parish Agricultural and Horticultural Club, Louisiana, in a few words: ‘‘Select from the field best ears and from best stalk.” We ask for experience Some thirty-five years ago, a favorite servant reported to our father that the bottom had fallen out and the top come off of our corn-hcuse. We think it was in 1833 or 1834. It contained seed corn selected from the field. Our house was on blocks, and fixed to keep rats from crawling np; the roof was much wider than the house, and admitted twelve feet sheds for stable and four feet loft for storing our selection of seed. We say select as soon as the shuek changes color, showing ■early’ mark. Select from smaller stalks large ears; se’ect from small cobs and full ears, the size of grain and number of rows considered. We have had—we will not be positive as.to rows, whether twenty-two, twenty-four or twenty-six—but we believe we have seen all, and feel certain as to twenty-two rojvs. t ,Ot course the more rows the larger will be the cob. - Then the .ques tion, best corn, whether “Shoe-peg,” “Gourd Seed,” or an approach to “Flint." We say weight per bushel and yield per acre, the grade “Flint” will feed most, as it is the heavier com. But what is the difference? The “Gourd Seed’ yields most, but whgt of feed? is the.question. Wc must know pro duct of each on same land and the relative value as to food. No question in our mind as to where.selection should be made—field, and we say begin soon after roasting ear, then when the dates of ripening, size of stalk, quality, of grain, is known, finish selection in’ house. So it is no child’s play at best, but requires judgment. This would be theory and practice.

T>. N. Trammell was elected ‘Presidentohhe Senate.’ was authorized.by the Constitution, in virtue’of his office as President of the Sena-e, to exercise the Executive powers of the government; bat upon the election and qualification of the ne^. President of the Senate, Cooley’s func tions as President of the Senate ceased, and with them bis extra functions as ex officio Executive: To-day he is not Presi dent of the Senate. Mr. Trammell is Presi dent of the Senate, and as such is authoriz ed to exercise the Executive powers of the government until the vacancy created by Bullock’s resignation is filled by special election. There being no Governor, only the President of the Senate is authorized to exercise the Executive powers ot the gov ernment. There cannot be two Presidents of the Senate. If Mr. Trammell is Presi dent of tie Senate, Conley is hot, and has no authority for the exercise of the powers of the Executive, much less to assume the title of Governor. On this subject the Augusta Chronicle has a communication from a prominent legal gentleman of that city, which, as it sustains the opinion expressed by us in our article of yesterday, we append: Etlilors Chronicle and Sentinel: Allow me tocall your atfention, and that of the State generally, to what seems to me a very grave error in your editorial of this morning upon the subject of Bifflock’s resig nation and Conley’s inauguration. Von say, and doubtless correctly, that Bullock’s ob ject in resigning when he did, was to place his benebman in power during his (B’s) un expired term. Bullock is not a lawyer, and this is not the first time be has read the Constitution incorrectly. You also, I submit, con cede too much when yon admit that Conley can hold the office lor even a few weeks. The Constitution provides, ‘The Presi dent of the Senate’—not Benjamin Conley (—‘shall exercise the Executive powers’ upon the happeeing of the contingency which has now occtired. So longas Benja min Conley is ‘President of the Senate, he is cx ojfficio Governor —not an hour longer. Whoever succeeds him as ‘President of the Senate,’ takes at one', ex officio, the Gov ernor’s seat. . Georgia. The Atlanta Sun takes the siime view of tho matter. . The evident connivance of Cooley at Bullock’s coup d'etat, his prompt assump tion of the Executive powers on the eve of the election oi his successor as President of the Senate, and his offensive usurpation of the title of Governor, together with the jeneral character of the man, induce ns to believe that the whole movement was a double plot to secure Bullock’s escape from punishment, and at the same time to bring on a collision between the legitimate authori ties of the State and Che usurpers, in the hope, and perhaps with the assurance of Federal interference. However that may be, we have the consolation of knowing that the matter is in honest, prudent and able hands, and that iu no event will the rights, honor and dignity of ihe State be compro mised.—Savannah iYety. ^ The Worth and South Railroad.

AU,that pertains to the futote of the cotton markct, or. that will enable men to ferm S Correct judgement apon its work ings, is,of interest to our readers, for to a eonsicfefaljle^ extent,, js every one inter- ested in the subject? . To assist our read- res in their speculations aa to the Tut are rulings of prices, we give the following well considered article from the New Or leans Picqyunc of last Siturdiy : The range of prices for cotton continue to rule uqusoally low, considering the po sition of the staple and the prospects of supplies in the future. The quotations are not now,so high as one month since, by fc. or. igyre, though there has been no material improvements in the crops, and the supply, of American pi«sing on the market has Dot been large. Liverpool, the great authority io the cotton market, is just now loaded with East India cottqp of last year’s crop, and prices there are depressed in consequence. The low quotations transmitted from Liverpool to every quarter of the globe, exercises a controlling,influence upon prices in other markets, and the staple therefore continue? to sell at raRs which may be considered as disproportionately low in view of the pres ent prospects of snpply and demand. As we have said before, the snpply of East India cotton offered in the Liverpool and Continental markets at this season ot the year, naturally exercises a bad effect upon the American staple This is more strictly trne this season, for spmners had provided liberal stocks of American cotton to run in the pooer grades, and are, there fore, more independent than for years past. This depressing cause, however, is but temporary v and will be removed at au early date, when cottoD from this side of the At lantic will take their true position, and the circumstances certainly warrant much higher figures than those which now pre vail. The crop does not promiso to exceed 3,000,000 bales, though a late frost might enable the planters to save more. On the other hand, advices from India are not of an encouraging character by any means. The low range of prices last sea son naturally deterred the ryots from ex tending the acreage under cotton, and the planting season proved very uupropitious The British Commission reports that the weather after the spring months proved too wet for planting in the central provinces and Berari; and since the seed has been pnt in the ground there has been entirely too much dry weather, and in many sec tions vegetation is being horned up. When these fac's are taken into con sideration and allowance is made for the increased consumptive power of Enrope this year, the position of the market ap pears very strong, and the conclusion is forced upon us that those engaged in the cotton trade will have the advantage this season of operating upon a rising market instead of a falling one. It is a source of pleasure to os to an nounce to onr readers, that work on the North and Sontfa Railroad will commence in a few days at taia place. TLe Engineer Corps has arrived and the location of the Road will begin immediately from this point to Hamilton. A company of gentleman, consisting of our most enterprising and energetic citizens have taken, the contract for twenty miles, and their names are a sure guarantee that the work will be exe cuted without delay. The Company is styled the /‘Troup County Construction Company,”bud is headed by our wide awake and energetic Mayor, W.C. JarboC, to whom the people are mainly indebted for the present 'brightening prospects of the Road. L • Onr people we know have had some mis giving bh'td the success of this enterprise, but the visit, on last week, of Mr. Chipley, its worthy and efficient Secretary and Treas urer, has entirely removed them, and de monstrated to'the stockholders, that their apprehensions werei unfounded. 1 We would! urge upon our citizens thi importance and necessity of contributin; to this enterprisejand of‘doing so' immedi ately, as upon their action depends its eafly completion.

The drunken father aimed a blow at his wife. He killed the mother and child together, and then dashed oat his own life.” And who,” said the Grave, “Comes next, followed by a train of weeping children?” This is a broken-hearted woman, who has long pined away in want, while her husband has wasted away her substance at the tavern- And he too, is borne behind, lulled by the hand of violence.” And who next?” ‘A young man of generous impulses, who, step by step, became disipated and squander ed his all. He was frozen in the streets.” Hash 1” said the Grave; “now I hear a wail of anguish that will not be silenced.” • “Yes it is the only son of his mother. He spurned her love, reviled her warning, and a bloated corpse he comes to thee. And thus they come; further than the eye can reach, the processions crowd to thy dork abode.

They know it not, and with song and dance, and riot, they hasten to thee, O, Grave! • Then I throw my fatal spell upon new throngs of youth, and soon they too, will be with thee.” A Little Judicious Praise.—No heart is icsensible to words of praise, or the kindly smile of approbation; aud nous are utterly above befog affected by censure or blame. ChildreD are particularly sensitive in this respect. Nothing can discourage a child more than a spirit of incessant fault finding; and perhaps nothing can exert a more baneful influence upon both parent and child. If yonr little one, through the day, has been pleasant and obed'ent, and you say to him, ‘My son, you have been good to-day, and it makes me very happy;’ and if, with more than a usually affectionate embraces, you say, ‘Good-night, my dear child,’ a throb of suppressed feeling fills hi9 breast, and he resolves on always earn ing such approval. If your grown sou, or daughter, have accomplished some difficult piece of work, rendering you essential assis tance; or have claimed some steep in the daily drill cf study; or have acquired some new accomplishment, or added ^ race; or better than all, have gained tho victory over some bad habit or besetting sin—ac knowledged, see it, praise them for it. Let them see by yonr added tenderness, the deep joy and comfort it gives yon. Thus, you will create a great incentive to right conduct, and lay a broad foundation for a character which shall be redolent with succulent fruit and fragrant blossoms.— Temple’s Magazine. General Sheridan a Murderer.— It is reported thac General Sheridan is to be indicted for themnrderof Colonel Gros- venor, of Chicago, who was shot by a sol dier actfog under Sheridan’s orders, oi those of one of his subalterns. Sheridan had no sort oY right to establish military rule in Chicago. He has juit as much right to goto New York, Philadelphia, or any other city, to day, and establish the same sort of role. The fact that there had been a fire in Chicago of course gave him no powers additional to thqpe he had pre viously possessed. But Sheridan is like Grant, be'is a stupid ass ontside of his rofession of arms. He knows no law. le has no respect for other people’s rights, not knowing, indeed, that other people have any rights. He has no idea that he acted wrong in cansing Colonel Grosvener’s death, no more than Grant has that be violated the Federal Constitution in sns- f ai the pending the privilege of the writ of habeas •“ corpus in South Carolina.

Letter from Judge Bice. October 25,1871. To the Editor oj the Journal: * A candidate for on office, which he reallv does not wan', and which, if he gets, will damage his private and profrarional inter- Yon and the many other honest Repnbli. eons of this eonnty, who have nrged.this condition upon me aa a doty to the comma* nity and the cause of peace, justice and equal rights, will know that no selfish con sideration controls the course I take in this matter. It was this sense of dnty which indnoed my reluctant oonsent to accept tho office, some two or three weeks ago, when I. had no suspicion that onr community was cither threatened or. afflicted with any swell nui sance as a secret political organisation or Republicans, (so-called) abounding to temp tations to honest and on wary Republicans, amongst which is reported an unusual ar ray of glittering military titles. _ The discovery of this institution of mis chief in onr midst, impresses me with the eovietion that every good man in the coun ty should noite to annihilate it; and that good.Repoblieans especially should, to every peaceful way, exhibit their execration of • scheme so well calculated to bring reproach and disaster upon the cause of Republicsn- A Mother’s Power. A moment’s work on clay tells more than an hoar’s laboron brick. So work on hearts should be done before they harden. Daring the first six or eight years of child-life, moth ers have chief sway, and this is the time to make deepest and most endearing impres sions on the human mind. The examples of material influence are countless. Solomon himself records the words of wisdom that fell from a mother’s lips, and Timothy was tought the Scriptures from a child by his grandmother. John Randolph, of Roanoke, used to say ; I should have been a French atheist, were it not for the recolecthm of the time when my departed mother used to take my little hand in hers, and make me say, on my bend ed knees, ‘Onr Father who art in heaven!’ ” I have fonnd ont what made you the man you are,” said a gentleman one morning to President Adams; “I have been reading your mother’s letters to her son.” ■Washington’s mother trained her boy to truthfulness and virture; and when his mes senger called to tell her that her son was raised to the highest station in the nation’s gift she could say: “George always was a good boy.” A mother’s tears dropped on the head of her little boy one evening as he sat in the doorway and listened, while she spoke of Christ and His salvation. Those tears made me a missionary.” said he when he had given his manhood's prime to the service of the Lord. Some one asked Napoleon what was the great need of the French nation. “Mothers 1” was the significant answer. Woman, has God given yon the privileges and responsabilities of motherhood? Be faith, ful, then, to the little ones; you hold the key of their hearts now. If you once loose it, yon should give the world to win it hack; use your opportunities before they pass. And remember little ones, you will never have but one mother. Obey and honor her; listen to her words, and God will bless you day by day. What is an Old Maid?—Never be afraid of becoming an old maid,fair reader. An old maid is for more honorable than a heartless wife, and “single blessedness" is greatly su perior, in point of happiness, to wedded life without love. “Fall not in love, dear girls— beware 1” says the song. But we do not agree with said song on this question. On the contrary, we hold that it is a good thing to fall in love, or get in love, it the object is a worthy one. To fall in love with anhonor- able man is as proper as it is for an honora ble man to fall in love with a virtuous and admirable woman; and what coaid be a more gratifying spectacle than a sight so pore, so approaching, in its devotion, to the celestial? No; fall in love as soon as yon like, provided it be with a suitable person. Fall in love, and then many; but never marry unless yon do love. That’s the Great point. Never marry for a “home” ora “husband.” Never degrade yourself by becoming a party to snch an alliance. Never sell yourself body and soul, on terms so contemptable. Love dig nifies all things; it enoblesall conditions. With love, the marriage rite is truly ass ment; without it the ceremony is a base fraud, and the act a human desecration: Marry for love or not at all. Be “an old maid,” if fortune throws not in yonr way the man of yonr heart; and though the wit less may sneer and the jester may laugh, yon still have yonr reward in an approving con science and a comparatively peaceful life. For well-to-do old bachelors we have no sym pathy ; they ought to he taxed nine-tenths of all they are . worth, to support women and ehRdren. The very name of this secret organiza tion marks its antbors as impostors. _ That name is “The National Guard ■” as if de signed to convey to the minds of loysl men the idea that the nation had become so weak; or so low, as to seed a secret or mid night organisation of its friends. From the best evidence obtained, it seems certain that there is nothing really national in this organisation; nothing pro- motive of the peaoe, interests or happiness of the people; that it is a contrivance by which a few unworthy, unscrupulous, and ambitions men, who never can, by fair and open means, get what they want, exeept to accomplish their selfish schemes by unfair and secret means; that it is wholly at wtr with the principles avowed by President Grant, and by the Republican party of the State, and of the United States; that there is no good in it for any honest or patriotic man of any race; that until distroyed it will be the standing enemy of peace, the continuing source of strife, dispensing its favors ;o the unprincipled, and visiting its frowns and punishments apon the virtuous good and patriotic. Of course, men who are base enough to concoct and promote sneh a scheme, will always employ their highest skill to tempt and draw some honest and nnsnspeeting men into it. In this way, no donbt, many good men have already been inveigled into this secret organization. Good men thus deceived and imposed apon, need have no fear from coming ont from the organisa tion. It is not mere error that can hurt; it is persistence in error that brings rain. No snch selfish and wicked organisation can live, when dragged to the light. In loving darkness rather than light, its au thors famish proof that “their deeds are evil” If a man deliberately adheres to this or ganization, I do not wish his support; for I could not trnly represent snch a creature. I certainly will not snpportany man of that sort for any office. In my judgement, tneh an organization is enmity to Republican ism ; it is entirely inconsistent with Repub licanism. Republicanism has no exclusive ness in it, but admits all to its benefits and blessings. Republicanism proclaims equal civil and political rights for all, and peace on earth and good will to men. This se cret organization, in time of peace, appeals to the vain and weak, in ita parades of mili tary titles, and tarns their thoughts to the accompaniments of war. It does not admit even all Republicans into its folds; it is ex clusive, narrow, and dare not trust to pub lic view the fetters (in tie shape of oaths) which it pats apon the consciences ana rages of people who by the law of the land are free. Its tendency is to enslave many of its members. Republicanism scorns any snch pretended friend. Entertaining the foregoing views, yon may continue my name aa a candidate, no- less or until the Republicans ot {he eonnty who are not of snch secret organization, shall choose some other person to ran in my place. In that event I will gladly support their choice, and be grateful to be thus relieved. I understand and believe that all fear of the present representatives of thia oounty are members of said secret organization, and that the head men of said secret organiza tion are determined to elect one of their order to fill Mr. Harmoont’a vacancy; in fact that these military gentry want all the offices of the connty. I shall stand faithfully against any such organization, and for the preservation of the peace of the eonnty and the rights whieh are conferred by law upon the peo ple at large. * I am informed that there is a report to the (fleet that I agreed ti have it to • committee or eanens to decide whether I should be the candidate or whether a cer tain young man should be the candidate. I never made any snch agreement; nor oonld I be induced to make any rash agreement with the man, young er old, who was believed (es the -yonng man was) to be a very active member bf (aid eeeret organization. I hope the people will be on their guard against falsehoods. Mea who are desperate enongh to get up raeh a secret organization, will not likely be very regardful of truth. Samuel F. Rice.
