END or IBS VOIUMB.
With the present Number of the Uihon
and Recorder one more volume is com
pleted: the forty fourth of the old Feder
al Union, and the fifty-fourth of the
Southern Recorder.
Wo cannot indulge, as would be pleas
ing. in a retrospect of the career, so an
cient and honorable, of the journals which
are united to form our present Union
and Recorder. We can point with a just
but not boastful pride to the ]>rescnt of
our popular and useful paper. We feel
that we may claim for it a degree of effi
ciency and usefulness unsurpassed by
any other newspaper in the land. As
, i.n advertising medium, its popularity has
never been excelled. Its reading matter,
both selected and original, is fully abreast
of the movements of the age in all the
c.epartments of human thought and ac
tion: and we feel sure that a regular read
er of our paper will not be greatly ignor
ant of any important element in the
world's progress. Above all, wo claim
that our course as journalists is one of
battle for the cause of truth, of justice,
of morals mid of religion, and of opposi
tion to the shams, the vices and the fol
lies of the day. In the course of the
present volume we have added to the
Union and Recorder a regular literary
department (on the fourth page) conduct
ed by Col. W. G. McAdoo of our city,
thus contributing largely to our attrac
tions. For the future, our course shall
be ‘‘upward and onward,” confident of
increased success from the generous pa
tronage of a discriminating public.
servfexn men take Back Seats-
This seems to be the unanimous version
of the press and people of this State in
reference to the approaching Congres
sional and Legislative elections.
It is a fact generally recognized that,
it is highly important to secure a full
Democratic dleegation from this'State.
This can only be done by putting in the
field men in whom the people have confi
dence—men of political integrity ns well
as ability, By “ability” we do not mean
the capacity to malic stump speeches.
Any fool, possessed of sufficient brass,
can do this. It is not stump-speakers we
want, but men of action; and above all,
men of sterling integrity.
Let such men be fairly nominated in all
our Congressional districts, and there
will be no trouble in electing them. But
on the other hand, let small-fry, schem
ing, pot-house politicians be put forward
by packed conventions and defeat surely
awaits them. The people will not become
particeps criminis in such frauds as have
sometimes been perpetrated upon them.
What we say of candidates for Con
gress will apply with equal force to can
didates for the Legislature. By concert
of action and a thorough union of our
forces it is very easy to secure a very
large majority in the Legislature, but our
strength is not so great anywhere as to
justify us in running weak men, while in
some of the counties it will be hazardous
to place a man in the field as a candidate
who would be likely to lose a single
Democratic vote.
The aliove from the News and Farmer
is good advice and it is true, every word
of it, and nominating conventions will
do well to heed it. The people havo
become sick and tiled of very small men
and small politicians. Our success in the
next election depends entirely on the men
we nominate. The people will no longer
be fooled.

Hon. C. A. Nutting seems to be the

Democratic Meeting West Sctnrday.
It will be seen by a notice in another
place that the Democrats of Baldwin
comity are requested to meet in
Milledgeville next Saturday, the 25th of
July, to appoint delegates to the Con
gressional Convention to meet in Mil
ledgeville on the 12th of August, to nom
inate a candidate for Congress. Each
county is allowed twice the number of
delegates of its Representatives in the
Legislature—consequently Baldwin coun
ty is entitled to two delegates to the
Congressional Convention. We hope
there will be a good turn out on next Hat
urdtiv.
Mr. liuUing’s Prospects.
A correspondent of the Chronicle and
Sentinel writing to that paper from Ma
con has the following :
“THE CONGRESSIONAL RACK
“As the time approaches for the meet
ing of the District Congressional Con
vention, the friends of aspirants and the
aspirants themselves are working hard.
Mr. Nutting is very popular in this city
aud in this county, and will carry them
by a large majority at the primary elec
tion for delegates. It is not definitely
known how the other counties will go,
but it does appear at this meeting that
ho will receive the nomination by a hand
some majority. And if nominated he is
sure to be elected, for personally, Mr.
Nutting is the most popular man in the
District.'’
Wo hope and believe the writer is cor
rect. Mr. Nutting is very popular with
the masses. There arc a few men who
believe the offices were all created for
themselves and their familios. and they
claim them because they unfortunately
for the State happened to be born in
Georgia. These men keep emigrants and
capital from coining into the State, and
are barnacles and bloodsuckers on the
State. Some of our old friends are sur
prized that we should pass by friends of
former days and urge Mr. Nuttin
claim for Congress. Wc have done so.
because wc believe Mr. Nutting was emi
nently qualified for the position, aud bo
cause we believe it important for Georgia
to have at least one financier and business
man in Congress. But if the District
Convention shall see fit to nominate Col.
Lawson or Judge Floyd, we shall support
them with great pleasure. If we send a
lawver let us send a good one.
The above from the Atlanta Iferrld of
the 17th, serves to show how the candi
dacy of Mr Nutting is regarded outside
of his District. It may not be out of
place, just here, to remark that before w
placed bis name in nomination we were
urged to do so by many wise and patri
otic gentlemen in and out of the District
Our judgment being thus backed, wc
have urged his nomination with our char
acicristic earnestness, and we aro gratifi
ed to know that the people are rallying
to his support.
Does Texas Mean Repudiation ?
We can scarcely believe that our gian
young State of the South-West will “re
pudiate” and put a stain on her- bright
escutcheon for generations to come. Yet
such threatens to be the result of the re
cent refusal of the Supreme Court to dis
rect the issuance of Bonds (for work nl
ready done) to the International Rail
road Company in pursuance of the terms
of the Charter of said Company, and in
conformity to the plain intent of the com
promise between the State authorities and
the Company heretofore entered into
Emigrants are pouring into Texas at
the rate of 400,000 per annum, attracted
by a public domain of a hundred millions
of acres of land. The public debt of the
State is only $2,000,000. Yet her Legis
lature shifts the responsibility of adjudi
eating a debt due to a Railroad Company
for work and labor actually done, to the
the Supreme Court of the State; and the
Supreme Court now decides it has no ju
risdiction ! The Executive refuses to
act or to issue the Bonds now over due
to the Company unless the Supreme
Court so directs! What’s the matter ?
Does not this amount to “Repudiation?’
Its advocates may call it by another
Qualifications of a Congressman.
A correspondent of the Telegraph <t
Messenger, who pretendffto be a Fanner,
in.-inuates that a candidate for Congress
should be a lawyer by profession, should
have been bom in Jones county and have
heard thunder. Being a lawyer by pro
fession is a very common qualification,
nearly all of them have it. It is not ne
cessary that they should know anything
about law. If they have been admitted
to the bar and have the name it is suffi
cient. But why it is necessary to be bom
in Jones county to qualify any one for
Congress is a mystery which only the
correspondent of the “Telegraph" can
explain. Is there anything peculiar in
Jones county mud, that can fit a man for
Congress ? It lias often been observed
that many of the present Congressmen
were very muddy headed, and perhaps on
that account Jones county may be a good
place for Congressmen to be bom. But
what does he mean by hearing thunder ?
Surely every candidate has heard thun-
<ier. Is there anything peculiar in Jones
c®unty thunder that makes it necessary
far a" member of Congress to hear- it ?
We have had the privilege of hearing a
little of Jones county thunder and did
not think it was any great shakes; it was
rather flat, vox et preaterea nihil.
They are afraid to Come Among u«.
The best and wisest men in the South
know that w e want immigrants, labour
ers and capitalists,'and skillful mechanics ;
men who will know how to use to advan
tage our water power, and fill our coun
try k with manufactories; and many in
ducements have been held out to get such
immigrants from other portions of the
United States and from Europe. But
these men have heard that strong preju
dice still prevails among a certain set of
old Barnacles in this country, against
every man no matter what may be hie
•worth, that did not happen to be bom in
Georgia, and proud men do not wish to
subject their families to such insults, and
therefore dare not come to Georgia to
live. These men who by their taunts and
insults prevent honest, industrious men
from coming among us, are Georgia’s
worst enemies. A few enterprising men
that could build cotton factories, would
double the price of property, and it is
our duty and our interest to encourage
such men, no matter where they happen*
ed to be bom. Let us reflect and im
agine if we can, what Georgia would. be
to day without the cotton gin, and with
out steamboats and railroads. Yet these

the odium which attached to her act,
which is now historical; but in financial
circles it must be known, simply, as “Re
pudiation.” We sincerely hope, for the
honor and the credit of the young giant
State of the So..th, that she may pause
on the brink, and turn away from all that
may dim the unparalleled lustre of her
bright name. The glory of Texas must
ever be dear to Georgians, many of whom

Milledgeville, July 20, 1874
Union tfc Recorder:
The Telegraph <Sc Messenger of Ma
con has repeatedly of late alluded to
case of seduction resulting in the death
of a young woman in that city, alleging
that the perpetrator of this infamous
crime is a married man residing in Mil
ledgeville.
Weca'l on the Telegraph and Messen
ger to make the name of this man public.
A similar call has been made by others
heretofore without response. That much
is due to the married men of this city
who are innocent of this great crime.
The duty of the Telegraph and Messen
ger to disclose the name is plain; and its
public announcement sbouldnot be longer
delayed. Such blot should not rest at
large on our people (among whom we are
sure there are many “married men,” too
honorable to commit so base a crime) af
ter the Telegragb and Messenger has lo
cated that crime on “a married man of
Milledgeville," as that paper has done.
Let his name be exposed, so that if guilty
public indignation and criminal punish
ment may mete out to him his merited
penalties; or if innocent, that he may vin*-
dicate himself.

such friends must have been to the last

(and with the details of which the public

adopt this method of simply announcing
to all who have taken an interest in the
subject, that the recent quite notorious
alienation between them, arising from
misapprehensions or misunderstandings,

Sampson county, North Carolina, on
Thursday last, at the close of which a
difficulty occurred between a white man
and a colored man in regard to the ques
tion of civil rights. Other colored men
interfered, when a regular pitched battle
ensued, in which the most of those on the
ground, both white and colored, partici
pated. According to the Wilmington
Star, the whites, both Republicans and
Conservatives, arrayed themselves on one
side, and the colored people on the other,
aud the way the missiles were projected
through the air was a caution. One pro
minent white Radical, as he commenced
seizing fence rails, ox yokes and other
such implements of warfare and whirling
them into the crowd of colored belliger
ents, shouted at the top of his voice,
“Civil rights, is it? I’ll give you civil
rights!”
“The colored troops fought nobly,” but
their white Hies having turned against
them, they wore finally effectually re
pulsed, after having been four times driv
en from the field. No fire arms were us
ed and none of the belligerents were ser
iously hurt, though soveral were knocked
down and considerably bruised. Consider
ing that the wildest excitment prevailed
during tho progress of tho melee it is
wonderful that no serious disaster occur

A writer in the Macon Telegraph and. Chicago, July 15.—2 :30 a. m.—The limits
Messenger seeks to make capital against
Hon. C. A. Nutting because be was not
bora in Georgia. This is appealing to
a prejudice as senseless as it is dishonora
ble. If a man is intelligent, honest and
capable, and faithful to the interests and
honor of the people among whom he has
c :st his lot, neither prejudice nor intol
erance should be invoked to proscribe him
for his birth-place or ostracise him for his
religious convictions. Mr. Nutting came
to Georgia a poor boy and worked as a
mechanic for many years. By his indus
try and foresight he has elevated himself
to a prominent position His intelligence
and capacity as a successful financier
have been demonstrated and established
beyond question. He has proven himself
a good and useful citizen. The effort to
make capital against such a man because
ha was not born in Georgia is so moan

than a passing censure.—All sensible

Tools for Farmer*.
Don't buy a chest with tools ready for
work. If you have had a good deal of
of experience, and know what you want,
you can buy a chest and select the tools
yourself, but if you get one which some
one else has furnished, you may, to be
sure, get a good set of tools, but there
will be many for which you will find but
little use. Even regular mechanics have
different ways of using tools, and an in
genious amateur will often make shift to
do without certain tools which a carpen
ter or a blacksmith consider indispen3a
ble. Here are some good suggestions
which we clip from the Agriculcurist:
“Every farmer should have a small room,
tight and warm, which he can lock, and
where he can keep his small tools. Then
he wants a good solid work bench, with
an iron vice on one side, and a wooden
one on tho other. For iron working, he
wants a solid piece of iron for an anvil,
a seven pound steel-face liammer, a rive
ting hammer, 1 large and 1 small cold
ehisol, 2 or 3 punches from ^ to $ inch, a
rimmer and counter-sink, to be used with
bit stock, a screw plate that will cut a
screw from ^ to $ inch; then with a round
iron of the various sizes, and ready made
nuts, he can make any bolt he wishes.
Far carpenter work, he wants a square,
a shaving-horse, drawing-knife, a set of
planes, auger from £ to 2 inches, bits
from ^ to £ inch, bit stock, thin chisel
from ^ to 1 inch, framing chisels from 1
to 2 inches, a fino hand saw with coarse
cross cut and a rip-saw, large cross cut
6aw for logs, and a grind-stone."
Reading Thought.
The New York Literati are just now
puzzled by the experiments of one John
R. Brown, a young man of twenty-two,
from Iowa, who is highly charged “with
some mysterious power which gives him
control over the thoughts of others. He
docs^not claim to be a Spiritualist, and
distinctly says that prophecy i3 not a
part of his art. He takes tho hand of
another and thus establishes a chain
along which the magnetic current flows.
Brown’s mind is passive, or at least it
thinks only the thoughts which the brain
thinks with which it is in sympathetic
contact. Tho thoughts of the subject
whose hands he holds are photographed
to his own brain, and hence the subject
can have no secret from the operator.
You may hide an article in any out of the
way place, and if you will concentrate
your thoughts upon the thing Mr. Brown
will take your hand and lead you direct
ly to it. You may write down tho name
of any place or individual and Mr. Brown,
although not in the room when you made
the writing, will quickly spell out the
name for you. By means of a copper
wire he can establish a current between
himself and yourself, and receive the
brain messages. He is the battery and
you are the instrument. He has been
put to very severe tests by the skeptical
journalists and scientists of New York,
and has acquitted himself in such a way
that the greatest doubter cannot hesitate
to believe in Lis powers. He does sim
ply what he says he will do. He is a
riddle to himself, as he is to all who have
seen him operate. That his power is
great is undeniable, but just what it is,
is a question which the wisest cannot an
swer.
Pursuant to the call of the Chairman,
the Executive Committee of the Demo*
cratic party of Bibb country met yesfcer

tions:
1. Resolved, That a convention of the
Democratic party of Ribb county is here
by called to meet at the Court-house, in
Macon, on Saturday the 8th day of Au
gust next, to select delegates to repre
sent the county in the Congressional con
vention.
2. Resolved, That we reoommend that
polls be opened at said Courtshouse at
the usual place of voting, from 7 o’clock
a. m. to 5 o’clock p. m. of said day; and
that upon said day six delegates shall be
elected to represent the county in said
Congressional Convention—the six per
sons receiving tho highest number of
votes shall be declared to be said dele
gates
3. Resolved, That said election be hold
in the usual manner, except it shall not
be necessary to keep but one list of vote
ers and make out but one tally sheet.
4. Resolved, That the managers of
said election report the result thereof to
a meeting of the party, which is hereby
called to meet at 8^ o’clock of the same
day at the City Hall, and that the chair
man of said meeting furnish the delegates
elect with their credentials, and appoint
a new Executive Committee for the coun
ty.
5. Resolved, That we recommend that
the delegates thus elected shall so cast
their votes as to best subserve the inter
ests of the party.
On motion, the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, There is dissatisfaction in
some of the counties of this Congression
al district at tho call of the chairman of
tho Congressional Executive Committee ;
and, whereas, it is alleged that said call
is illegal, because said call was made by
the chairman without consulting the com
mittee; and, whereas, it is desirable to
preserve harmony in tho party and to se
cure a full delegation in the convention
to nominate a candidate for Congress.
Be it therefore resolved by the Execu

of Bibb county, That the Hon. B. F.
Ward, the Chairman of the Executive
Committee of this Congressional District,
is respectfully requested to call a meet

Not Dead, but Sleepeth.—A Wash
ington special to the Louisville Courier
Journal says : The popular impression
that the civil rights bill is entirely dead is
contradicted by experienced parliaments
rians. The bill lies on the Speaker's ta
ble. The reason why it did not jiass at
the last session of Congress was that it
required a vote of two-thirds at the time
the bill reached the House of Represen
tatives, and a two-thirds vote could not
be had In the early part of the session
is competent at any time after the
morning hour to move to go to the
Speaker’s table; and in such case a ma
jority vote suffices to carry the motion.
But when the civil rights bill passed the
Senate, the House of Representatives bad
made so many special orders that these
and the unfinished business prevented
there being any morning hours, so that
the .only road to the Speaker’s table was
by the suspension of the rules. At the
coming session there null be morning
hours for a month or so probably, and a
bare majority can go to the .Speaker s
table. That there ia a large majority iu
the House ready to vote for the civil
rights bilHs certain.

Faria Green for the Cotton Caters
pillar.
Paris green was tested quite extensive
ly last year and in not a single instance
where everything was known to be right,
have I heard of failure. A few persons
claimed that the compound damaged their
crop, while others reported that it work
ed no particular good. In the first named
ease it is highly probable that too large a
proportion of the Paris green was used,
and in the second too small, or the Paris
green was not good. I am satisfied that
toward the close of the season large
quantities of a heavily-adulterated arti
cle were offered for sale in my own city
of Mobile, and I havo no doubt it was
the same in other places.
All through the caterpillar season of
last year, I put Prof. Riley's remedy to
the test in various ways, and the result
has convinced me that we may save our
cotton by the use of Paris green. And
I hope our planters will not hesitate to
try it There is no patent on the process
—the patents in vogue are on certain
compounds as “Wisenant’s Caterpillar
Destroyer,” and the like. Our planters
may buy these, if they feel so disposed,
but for my part I want nothing better
than good Palis green and flour in the
proportion of one to thirty, or almost
any other fine material will answer in
place of the flour, as it is used simply to
spread the Paris green and reduce its
strength. For a duster, I use an old tin
bucket or can nailed or screwed to a han
dle about four feet long, and having a
piece of common musquito bar tired se
curely over its top, which becomes its
bottom when I am dusting on the com
pound. While at work I keep to the
windward of the row being operated
upon and so liave no fears of suffering
from any poisonous effects of the drag.
But there is one thing to be consider
ed, if we hope to succeed—we must have
pure Paris green. Swindling the farm
ers has grown to be so fashionable of late,
tliat it behooves us to keep our eyes open,
and I hope Granges of the Patrons of
Husbandry, and Council* of the Pro
gressive Farmers in the Cotton States,
will see to it that their members are sup
plied with reliable Paris green, in case it
is needed.—a. Paris Stelle, in the Ru

point upon the iCvil Rights Bill. They

The civil rights bill recently passed by

pending in the House of Representatives,
presents an issue of vital moment to the
American people, and calls upon them to
decide at the ballot-box whether they will
or will not be coerced to absolute social, as
well as political equality of the negro race
with themselves. Wo view with abhor
rence this attempt on the part of the
Federal Government to take control of
all schools, colleges, churches, hotels,
railroads, steamboats, theatres and
graveyards for the purpose of establish
ing negro equality, and the enforcing of
it under numerous penalties of fines,
damages and imprisonments. We arraign
Senators Morton and Pratt before trie
people of Indiana for their rotes in favor
of this atrocious measure, aud shall ask
judgment against them at the hands of
their constituents, whom they have mis
represented.

A Boston Wedding.
An Oregonian occupying a seat under
the Old Elm on the Common last night,
was disturbed by trie arrival of a small
party of ladies and gentlemen, headed by
Dr. Dio Lewis. The party halted under
trie gaslight, and forming in an irregular
half circle, a gentleman walked out hold
ing a paper in his hand. Immediately
another gentleman leading a lady stood
in the circle fronting the first named,
who in a low, musical voice, serenely
audible, made a short address to the par
ties. who joined hands and then saluted
with a kiss. Dr. Dio Lewis stepped for
ward, and imitating the example, saluted
the lady and congratulated the gentleman.
Others followed, doing likewise, and then
the party returned to the Bellevue par
lors. The stranger inquired of a gentle
man who stood gazing at the retreating
party what this romantic episode meant,
and was rewarded with the answer that
the Rev. Wm. R. Alger had just bound
together in the bonds of holy wedlock
Mr. Fisher M. Clark and Mrs. S. Helen
Trip. The stranger dropped his chin on
his breast a moment and said, “Is that
the way you do such things in Boston ?”
‘It appears so. ”
Tobacco Smoko Good for the Teeth.

It is only fair on tobacco to point out
tliat it is gradually clearing itself from
many of trie serioqs charges brought
against it. It has been frequently and
persistently alleged that among other
ill effects (beside death mid madness)
produced by tobacco is destruction of
the teeth. This, it appears, is entirely
a mistake. Instead of tobacco causing
the teeth to decay it is the very best
thing in the world for them, and those
who wish to preserve their teeth should
immediately take W smoking’ if thev
have not already indulged in the habit
At a lecture on te^Bfeughing gas, and
electricity, as connected with the dental
surgery, delivered last month in Lon
don by Thomas Brown, the lecturer ob
served that it was popularly
considered
that the practice of smoking deterior*.
ted the teeth. “There could," he added,
“be no greater fallacy. It waa true that
it sometimes discolored the teeth, but it
did not cause decay; on the contrary, it
prevented decay on account of the dis
infectant properties of tobacco smoke.”
This leaves the British Anti-Tobacco As
sociation and other kindred bodies in a
very disagreeable position, for it destroys
all confidence in tho yawful predictions
they are in the habit of ottering aa to the
fate of smokers. If tobacco does not in
jure the teeth, but is in fact good for them
perhaps it does not shorten life, but is
favorable to longevity.

Sow They Drop Shot.
One of tho “secrets" of the manufacture
of shot is the mixing of the lead with a
certain proportion of a combination of
mineral substances called “temper.” The
“temper” is fused with the lead, and
gives the molten metal that consistency
which makes it drop. If it were not for
the “temper trie lead would be molded
by the sieve, and would form little pencils
instead of round shot. When “BB” shot,
for instance, are to be made, the lead is
poured into a pan perforated with holes
corresponding to that size. The little
pellets eome pouring down in a continuo
us shower, and fall into a tank filled with
water on the ground floor. In their
descent of two hundred feet they become
spheres, firm and dense, and they are
tolerably cool when they strike the water,
although trie swift ooncussions make the
tank foam and bubble as if the water was
boiling furiously. The shot must fall in
water, for if they should strike any firm
substance they would be flattened and
knocked out of shape. To get the little
pellets perfectly dry after they have been
in the “well” is the most difficult and
troublesome process of the whole manu
facture. An elevator with small buckets

The Jews as Merchants and Money
Benders.
In one instance only have the Jew
consented to change their habits of life?
and in that we discover a new the marks
of their perpetual suffering. From active
and successful husbandmen and tillers of
the soil they had been transformed into
merchants and money-lenders. They
seem to have wholly lost that love for
nature and that agricultural skill that
inside Palestine a land of plenty. In
Babylon and Persia, under a compara
tively gentle rule, they were rather far
mers than traders. Even late in the
Roman period, and probably until near
tiie sixth century, they were chiefly an
agricultural people. The Talmud n-
bounds in allusions to the cultivation of
fields and gardens, of oil, wine, and wheat,
fruit and flowers. Its nice and varied
rules of conduct relate chiefly to the peo-
>le of rural districts rather than of cities.
When the great schools of Babylon and
fumbeditiia were flourishing, and the
vivid intellect of the Israelites was ex
panding into a literature of commentators
uid professors, the race was marked by
in intense love for the Oriental lands
they cultivated. But when the universal
persecution fell upon them, when they
were hunted from Babylonia and Persia,
and began that remarkable series of wan
derings from city to city, and from realm
to realm, that has lasted for more than a
thousand years, the manners of the race
changed. They became a nation of
traders. Industry, thrift, learning, and
rare acuteness they never lost, but they prill
never again to become tillers of the soil.
They were forced to snatch opportunities
of gain from the midst of their wander
ings. They became the most acute and
untiring of traders. Their wares and
their profits were such as could be easily
handled and secured. They supplied the
barbarous princes of Germany with the
most costly drugs and spices of the east.
They dealt in jewels that they could
easily conceal or swallow, and in Oriental
cloths that were of priceless valne. They
were the most active slave traders of the
middle ages, and the church vainly heap
ed its malediction on the Jew who should
dare to purchase Christian slaves. Their
capital in money probably grew from ago
to age. They were the common money
lenders of the early period. The Jews
seem to liave concentrated the wealth of
the middle ages among themselves; they
lent their money at an enormous interest,
and upon ample security ; they accumula
ted immense fortunes, which they were
obligee! to hide from their persecutors iu
an aspect of extreme poverty. But their
home was never again to be amid the
soft landscapes of Babylonia and Persia;
and crowded together in a miserable
Ghetto, living apart accursed and forsa
ken in the walled, fortified, and secure
cities of western Europe, they counted
their secret gains, and sometimes display
ed in their obscure dwellings a suspicious
and Oriental splendor. Their daughters
were clad in the rich silks of Persia, and
shone with the gold and gems of the
east.

In a late address before a gathering of

one of the great causes of tho poverty |

Says he:
Now, looking over the census of the ’
State of Tennessee for the year 1870, i
we find that, out of a population of 890,-
872 ten years of age and over, only 367,-
981 are employed at any business

ten years of age and upwards who have
no occupation or business, who are con
sumers and not producers ; and, of 5G4,-
718 females ten years of age and upwards,
we only find employment for 54,402.
This state of things, if continued, must
forever keep us poor. Vie, as Tennes
seeans, may boast of our vast coal fields,
our boundless ore banks, our extensive
aud varied forests, our productive valleys
and plains, of our inexhaustible water
power, but, so far as our comfort, pros
perity and happiness are concerned, it all
. lad as well be on the moon, if we cannot
make our labor effective to develope these
vast elements of wealth. Now I know
there is female labor enough in this coun
try, if it were properly directed, to make
the whole population prosperous and
wealthy.

Signs in Massachusetts.—Nothing
could be more significant of the breaking
up of the Republican party in Massachu
setts than the retirement of nearly the
entire Republican delegation in Congress
from a further contest for the seats.
Most of the present members are old
stagers. Buffinton was elected in old
Known Nothing times twenty years
ago, and lias been in Congress nearly
every session since. Dawes has Lnd
eighteen consecutive years of service.
Gooch was tost elected in 1856, and
Hooper in 1860. Now the list of decli
nations for re-election comprise Buffin
ton, Hooper, Gooch, Dawes and the two
Hoars, and it is rumored that Butler and
Crocker contemplate the same action,
which will be the most decent of their
respective lives. It is preposterous to
suppose that these active and ambitious
politicians would all be suddenly seized
with a desire for the shades of private
life, if it were not that they have the
sagacity to understand that their party,
henceforth, is in a minority. The rapidly
dwindling vote of the Republicans, year
atter year, the Sumner defection, the
‘poor boy" Simmons trouble, the Talbot
veto, and the worthlessness of the last
State Legislature, have all helped to
disintegrate the party, and drive the
people by the thousands into the Demo
cratic ranks.

near Sandy Hook, while near Halifax it

determined by the use of the current drag)
being nowhere more than one hundred

The late Lieut. Gamier discovered last

months. This it would be safe to guar
antee under any penalty. There are a
few, a very few, actual specifics for disease
in existence and Hostottor’s Stomach
Bitters may be set down as one of them.
In cases of indigestion it never fails.
Persons who had suffered for many years
almost every conceivablejspecies of torture
from this agonizing complaint, have been
permanently cured with the Bitters in six
weeks. Hundreds of such instances are
on record, authenticated by the testimony
of prominent men in every walk of life,
eminent physicians among the number.
But this celebrated vegetable preparation
is something more than a stomachic and
tonic. It is also an alterative of wonder
ful virtue. In liver complaint its offset is
as direct and immediate as that of calo
mel or bine pill, and far more salutary;
and in all diseased conditions of the bow

degree serviceable. The new settlements
