The Greeley pill we swal.owed, bat the country threw it up, And leaves us with a dreadful cough, aud maud lin sick hiecnp, Rut we’re toning up our stomach now, and our whole nerveus natnr’ To try another long strong dose of the Grant Reg ulator. O’Connor’s Homeopathy we thought would suit us best. Weneefled plain mild lemedits and wholesome sleep and rest. But we’re a “sick man”—Unde Sam is—that is very plain ; And Rheumatism and Nepotism gives him mighty pain. We’re now convinced that Dr. Stephens—Eilick H., you know, Knew well how Greeley pil’s would purge ; he plainly told us so ; But Dr.'Raltimore Convention thrust them down our throat ; Alas ! King Caucus ruled us then, aud old Queen Petticoat ! Queen Petticoat ! Queen Woman-Rights ! Queen Greeley ! Ail the same : That scribbler Shakespeare well remarks there’s nothing in a name , But in reality there’s much on earth as ’tis in Heaven ; And Grant is our next President till 1877. Well, let ns try him fairly, squarely, for a full four years ; “Kick net against the pricks” was thundered once in old Saul’s ears ; If Grant will only rule, himself, as we may hope he will, And hurl the carpet-baggers out, lie’s not a “bitter pill.’’ We, James McArthur, do exhort said Grant to try this plan ; To prove that he’s a President, and a “party man," And act as nobly to the South as once he did to Lee ; Then real peace, without blue coats, his patriot eyes will see. “ Drive off the flock of vampyre bats—the Bullocks, Blodgetts, Farrows, Put them to swifter guiltier flight than robins and ccoksparrows— Take Democratic Georgia kindly, gently by the hand, And be, oh Grant ! the President of all this mighty land !

Well, Lislier, to morrow’s your wedding day ; I’m sure I wish you joy, Health, wealth, and conti nt all the days of life, God bless you and keep you, my hoy Marrying is risky business. For husband as well as lor wife ; So, generally speaking, it's as serious a thing As happens to folks in life. Merry Arm Smith and you, Lisher, Fell in love in the good old way ; But I seen many couples, that started as well, Have the a ery old scratch to pay. I dcu't say that you will, Lisher, So there's no occasion to pout : But you and Merry Ann will have tantrums ; I know what I ui talking about. For you’re inclined to be touchy. And you're inig'.-ty sot in your way ; And, Lisher. whenever your dander is up, You iiave a pile to say. Merry Ann Smith is as smart a gal As they raise in these parts about; But that kind, Lisher, are never made up With the ginger and pepper left out. Bear in mind Merry Ann has her notions, And a will like yours and mine; And that she has * right to her say in things That naturally fall in her line. Be gentle about the money question ; Every time you give her a cent Don’t ask her to give you a strict account Of the way it’s going to be spent. She’s the woman yon loved and sparked as a gal ; She’il work and live for you ; All that she is, or might be, boy. She gives, as no man would do. You know how much you can afford, Lisher, To make your yearly expense ; Just hand a part over to Merry Ann, And trust to her good, common sense. If you ever do have any difference, Lisher, Ri-member you keep a still tongue ; For when outside parties know family affairs, An endless discussion’s begun. In health and in sickness, for all sorts of luck, You promise to take your wife ; To loro, and ch» risk, and honor her, All the days of her life. Merry Ann promises just the same ; Now-a-days they leave you the obey ; I never set any store by that— Too much one-sided, I say. To honor and cherish each other through life, To lore—that lives always—why, I couldn’t bear To live with the Lord in glory. If you an’ Aunt Phronia wasn't there. Good night, Lisher .' God bless you, my boy I'm giad to-morrow’s tho day ; All things considered, I think you'll find That getting married’ll pay. Harrisburg Telegraph. Lake Erie Filling Up.—It is predicted that Lake Brie, now the pathway of a mighty com merce, will in time dry up and become the home of a teeming population. Careful surveys have shown that while Lake Michigan lias an average depth of I860 feet, Lake Superior ol Dot) feet, and Lake Ontario of 500 feet, Lake Erie has ail aver age depthjof 120 feet, which is said to be constant ly decreasing. The bottom of the lake is quite lev el and composed of soft clay. The clay is con stantly accumulating from sediment carried down bv tributary streams. The south shore is com posed ot easily disintegrating biue, gr*y and olive shoals and gray sandstone. The western and northern coasts are wad* up of limestone of the Helderberg group, which quickly yields to the ac tion of tlie waves-’ Consequently both shores are constantly contributing to fill up the bed of the take. The work is not rapid, but it is said to be as certain as fate. Returned from Liberia.—Yester day a party of twenty-five or thirty negroes arrived here on their way to North Carolina. They are the remains of a company of near two hundred who went to Liberia from North Carolina about a year ago. The balance died out there, aud this small remnant are seek ing their way back to the Old North State. The company went out to Af rica under the auspices of the Ameri can Colonization Society. They say they were treated very well by the natives out there, but not being use to the climate and mode of living, they died off like sheep. Yellow fever car ried most of them off.—Korjolk Vir ginian, 22*1. The Candidates —A rosrter of can didates for the various offices to be filled by the Legislature, has been made up by the Atlanta correspondent of the Savannah News. Their name is legion, and from the list the Legis lature certainly should have no trouble iu making judicious selections. The aspirants for United States Sen ator are Gen. Gordon. Gen. Benning, Hon. H. V. Johnson. Hon* A. H. Ste phens, Hon. B. H. Hill, Dr. H. V. M. Miller, Col. Herbert Fielder, Judge John W. H. Underwood, Col. Geo. N. Lester, Gen. L. J. Gartrell. Gen. A. H. Colquitt declines to run. For State Treasurer, Hon. John Jones, of Milledgeville, is on hand.— Dr. Angier will not be a candidate. For Secretary of State, there are lots of aspirants : Col. J. R. Sneed, B. R. Freeman, of Atlanta, the pres ent Chief Clerk, N. C. Barnett, of Milledgeville, J. A. Crawford, of Ath ens, Charles D. Phillips, of Marietta, and Mr. Jones, of Coweta. For Comptroller General there are Peterson Thweatt, Wm. J. Magiil, Thompson Allan, Samuel B. Cleghorn, of Columbus; Gen. LaFayette Me Laws, of Augusta ; VV. L. Goldsmith, of Dt-Kalb, and J. W. Renfro, of Wash ington county. For President of the Senate, lion L. N. Trammell, it says will proba bly be elected without opposition.— The News, however, says Hon. Rufus E. Lester, is in the field, and Col. Har ris, of Worth, is mentioned. For Speaker of the House there are, Hon. W. D. Anderson, of Cobb ; Jo seph A. Shumake, of Burke; F. M Langly, of Troup; Hon. Geo. F. Pierce, of Hancock ; Hon. E. F. Hoge of Fulton; and A. O. Bacon, of Bibb Thus. B. Cabaniss and Hon. C. J Wellborn are after the Secretaryship of the Senate. For Supreme Judge the names of Col. Bleckley, Col. Trippe, David Ir win, H. V. Johnson, Col. Fielder, and others, are prominently urged. The Monroe Advertiser says, tlie let ter in the News brought forward can didates for all tlie offices to be filled, except the position of Clerk of the House of Representatives, and sup plies the omission by bringing for ward the name of Mr. LaFayette Car rington, of Milledgeville: and adds, he is, however, so well known, and so generally recognized as possessing every qualification for the position, that we look for him to be chosen by acclamation and without opposition. The Advertiser also pays Capt. Jno. Jones a high compliment and says there can be no name presented for State Treasurer more entitled to con sideration. Fiom the New York Tribune. JINGO KOGO'S LEGACY. The Perpetual Pe-1 Retween Japan nnd Caren—A Bloody Oriental War in Proe pect. The Radicals made voters of ne groes, and now they make them vote to retain Grant and his party in power. At the late election in the South, the Federal authorities practiced a wicked system of intimidation against negro voters. The New Orleans Times says that “many negroes in that State had determined, in the exercise of the privileges of freemen, to vote the Lib eral Democratic ticket. They were mentally and morally convinced of the necessity of a change, and concluded to join hands with their white neigh bors in riJding the State of the cor rupt and oppressive government which had too long been upheld by Federal bayonets. But when they attempted to act as freemen, in accordance with their conscientious convictions, they found that there was danger in the act. The hirelings of unscrupulous authority were at their heels, with all sorts of threats aud intimidations, and they found that they must either run with the tide of Radicalism, or be subjected to serious bodily peril.— Dispatches from the far East indi cate the imminence of an armed con flict between Corea and the recognized Empire of Japan. It would seem al most a fatality that Japan, with which we have such interesting relations, and for which our countrymen cherish such lively sympathy, should be so soon involved in a war which may test the value of international friendship. But the Japanese are confident, and, with a fair share of what we can af ford to call Yankee boastfulness, ex press their determination to vindicate their ancient claim to the fealty of the Corea. The original eonquest of the coun try, it is claimed by the Japanese, was about sixteen hundred years ago, when the Empress Jiugo-Kogo, at tlie head of a considerable army, invaded the Corea, subjugated the people and laid them under tribute. This tribute was legnlarly paid for several centuries, but Japan becoming involved in the interneciue wars the Coreans took oc- j casion to allow the payment to lapse, i and many years passed without the annual levy being exacted. When Taico Sama, the founder of the dual system of Imperial Government, and a warrior of renown, came to the Ty- conatein the sixteenth century, he de manded a renewal of the tribute from the Coreans, and on their refusal in vaded the country and brought them to terms. The tax was paid until the downfall of the late Tycoon, Chief of the Tokugawa clan; and when the Government, after a short struggle, was rehabilitated and the present Em peror became seated on the throne, he sent word to the Corean Emperor that the annual tribute, payment of which had been suspended, must be forth coming with arears. The Corean Gov ernment replied in these concise terms: “We have received your letter, and have given it very deep consideration, comparing your dispatch with other dispatches. It is a long time since there has been any intercourse be tween the two countries. Your dispatch demands payment of tribute. We will show how this affair stands. Tai co Sama, without provocation or cause of any, invaded Corea, and made Co rea sign a document agreeing to pay tribute. In those days Corea was un prepared for war, and had not even been informed of the intention of Ja pan. But it is very different now. The invasion of Taico was a crime com mitted against Corea by Japan which is not punished. Your demand is so unreasonable that, instead of Corea paying tribute, it is for you to return the money paid by Corea.” This was turning the tables on Ja pan, and as tribute had been paid for about ten centuries it will be seen that Corea has an enormous demand against Japan to offset that for the tribute in airears. It can hardly be expected however, that Corea is in earnest in anything further than a vigorous de fense ot the threatened invasion. Such a conflict would be further complica ted by the attitude which China would be compelled to assume, for China, in its turn, has held a loose sort of domi nation of Corea. When the famous Shang dynasty was overthrown B. C. 1122, the Viscouut Ke, a determined enemy of the Chew dynasty which succeeded to the crown, fled to Corea, where he was invested with the sov ereignty of the country by the reign ing Emperor of China. In this char acteristically Chinese manner the Co rea was annexed to the Celestial Em pire, and a show of tributary depen dence was kept up until modern times. VSiaority Representation. Illinois is the first State to practi cally test the principle of minority or proportional representation. The Cin cinnati Enquirer says : “The first Leg islature ever chosen upon the princi ple of ‘proportional representation’ is soon to meet in Illinois. It marks a great advance in our political educa tion. The two great parties, Liberal and Grant, are there represented in about exactly the number they are re latively to each other on the popular vote. In other States, where this principle does not prevail, parties poll ing three-sevenths of the entire vote have, by an unequal and unjust sys tem, been almost excluded from any representation, and in other instances the party having the majority of votes has had a minority in the Legislature. Large portions of the people have been practically disfranchised* Thus, for instance, the dozen counties in the Ohio Western Reserve never return anybody but a member of the Repub lican or Grant party. Yet there are not less than 80,000 Liberals and Democrats in that portion of the State, and they certainly ought to have some hearing. In Illinois the State is divi ded into Representative Districts, each electing three members. A voter can if he chooses, put the figure 3 opposite one name, and voto for no other. In that case that inan receives three votes. The practical result is, that in strong Grant districts the Liberals run one man, give him three votes each, and elect him. The Grant men get the two others* Thus the major ity and the Jminority are alike repre sented. In the Liberal districts the Grantites pursued the same policy.” Hint they accepted the least manly of Cililljclnn / be „ eutral in an war be . these alternatives » rather their mis-! twMn Japan and a country which has. fortune than therr fault. The fact la t0 , ' recent jjj iM;k „ ow |. patent that they were ss much forced [ J . j e nanJeDc e on the Chinese Km- to vote against their convictions as, J -i 3 1 in their previous condition ol servi- * tude, they were forced to labor against their inclinations.” The broad, gen eral truth is, remarks the Philadelphia Age, the Radical party have no regard or respect for the ballot-box. They force the negroes to vote in the South, and in the North depend upon fraud to override the will of tlie people.— This is the present condition ot the elective franchise in the United States, and it bodes no good for the future. £iSat . News. Destructive Fire in Nashville. —In Nashville, Tennessee, about.half- past II o’clock, Saturday night, a fire broke out in the mammoth livery and sale stable of Messrs. Pilcher & Wright, which was surrounded by seven other stables, to which the flames were im mediately communicated, and in twen ty minutes it was apprehended that the entire neighborhood would be re duced to ashes. The lire was, how ever, got under control, one of the sta bles, a brick one, occupied by J. B. Parrish, having escaped with but little injury. One of the greatest losses by the fire was the burning of some forty-five or fifty horses and two ypke of oxen in the stables of Pilcher & Wright.— The horses in the other stables were dragged out with considerable difficul ty. In addition to the loss of horses, Pilcher & Wright also suffered heavily in the loss of feed, harness, and in fact everything they had in their stables. Mr. Parrish lortunately emptied his stables before they caught, aud suc ceeded in saving his horses, oxen, har ness. feed, etc. In addition to the heavy loss of stock, feed, &c., the buil dings burned were all large, and it will cost a considerable amount to re place them. The stables were mostly owned by Matt Parrish, B. J. Groomes, Wm* Dews and Pilcher & Wright— three being used by Parrish. Ida Greeley now owns Chappaqua, it Laving been bequeathed to ber by ber mother. Corea has a population of 12,000,- 000, an army ot 040,000 men, aud a navy of 200 vessels. But Japan, with a population of four times as large, and an immense, well drilled army, equipped with some of the modern improvements of warfare, may well boast of being able to subdue her semi-barbaric adversary. The coutest must be largely naval ; and the world will have an opportunity to discover of how much practical value her new fleet and armament really are to mod ern Japan. The “Money Power.”—This great and growing monster which threatens, like some mighty ogre, to swallow us all, i3 awakening tlie fears of all think ing and patriotic men throughout the land. Hon. Montgomery Blair has just written a letter on this topic, of which we find the following notice in the Louisville Courier : “Montgomery Blair has written a letter demonstrating the causes of the Liberal defeat, the chief of which was our failure to make a square issue with the growing ‘money power’ of the country. The history of the rise and progress of this money power in the United States is full of.interest aud well calculated to excite alarm. It is unquestionably the most direful ene my with which we have to contend.— It is an element that is generally enlisted on the side of tyranny, and in all ages has proved its most powerful adjunct, and against it the most vig orous aud inflexible energies of the country’s patriotism must be directed. It is growing with alarming rapidity, and the public mind is not yet quick ened to a realization of its mighty in fluence. This must be done, for if the infant Hercules is not strangled in its cradle it will live long to oppress and torment us. We must crush out “its venom and its strength,” and we must do so speedily. Taking- Cold. If a cold settles on the outer cover ing of the lungs it becomes pneumo nia,i nflammation of the lungs, or lung fever, which in many cases carries the strongest man to his grave within a week. If cold falls upon the inner covering of the lungs it is pleurisy with knife like pains, and it slowly, very slowly recovers. If cold settles in the joint, there is rheumatism with its agonies of pain, and rheumatism of the heart, which in an instant sometimes snaps the cord of life with no friendly warning. It is of the utmost practi cal importance, then in the wintry weather, to know not so much how to cure a cold as to avoid it. Colds al ways come from one cause, sometimes part of the whole body being colder than natural for a time. If a man will keep his feet warm always and □ever allow himself to be chilled, he will never take cold in a lifetime, and this can only be accomplished by due care in warm clothing and the avoidance of drafts and undue expos ure. While multitudes of colds come from cold feet, perhaps the majority arise from persons cooling off too quick ly after becoming a little warmer than natural from exercise or work, or from confinement to a warm apartment. TREASURE FROM THE NBA. 8300,000 in Melted Silrer and Geld—A Slreege light. [From the San Francisco Bulletin.] A portion of the treasure recovered from the remains of the steamer Amer ica by divers persons and brought to San Francisco on the Colorado, was tracked to the office of the San Fran cisco Assaying and refining Works, No. 416 Montgomery street yesterday, and exposed to the gaze of a few reliable persons. The scene was novel beyond conception. Twenty-three boxes of melted coin, weighing from two to four hundred pounds each, were scattered about the floor of the room, and besides there were piles of bars and irregular masses of valuable metal lying around loose. Two pieces of the melted mass, with a length of about three feet, a width of eighteen inches and weighing one hundred pounds, looked like a sec tion of clay bristling with oysters. These oysters were twenty-dollar pie ces, Mexican dollars and half dollars of American coinage, with dimes and half dimes for young oysters, and iron spikes, bits of brass, and steel, to repre sent the shell fish that are wont to bur row in the bed of the ocean, the whole forming a valuable specimen of Crusta cea. In some instances the coins are only welded together in rolls, and at other times they form one lava-like gob. The melted matter and the coins are of a deep green color. The large bags of bullion were less affected by the ffre than the coin, and do not ap pear to have lost much weight. The metal is to be recoined. Two twenty- dollar pieces in the lot were kindly do nated to the representatives of the press, who were among the reliable persons present, and had not the coins been welded to the bar, they would have been taken away. Three hundred thou sand dollars worth of treasure, half- melted, colored by fire and action of the water, is a curiosity that few peo ple have ever had an opportunity to see. Even the audicious and enterpris ing Barnum could not give such a show.
