She Late Election and the Lesson
it Teaches.
Oar latest returns from every section
of the State show that the Democracy
have swept the State like a deluge. Not
more than some five or six Radicals have
been elected to the Legislature. Every
Congressional District, and nearly every
county in the State is Democratic. This
in all probability ensures an entire Demo
' cratic delegation to Congress in Novem
ber. For this overwhelming Democratic
victory, we are largely indebted to the
good sense and good conduct of our col»
ored population. The most intelligent,
moral and wealthy portion of the colored
population, voted with their white neigh
bors and friends in this election. Per
sons living at the north may well won
der at this great revolution in Southern
politics. Two things have produced it.
The Civil Rights dull and President
Grant’s restoration of the usurper Kel~
logg in Louisiana. The Civil Rights bill
has not only driven every decent white
man into the Democratic party but the
most intelligent of the colored people
have become convinced it will prove a
source of unmitigated evil to them as it
will break up the public school system at
the South by which they are greatly ben
efited, and will create jealousy and hard
feelings between the two races which
will be detrimental to them. It is only
a few vagabond negro politicians that
want the bill passed; and we now predict
;f -th“bill shall be forced through Con
gress, as we suppose it will be, it will
array the whole South in political oppo
sition to the present administration. If
it is f orced^ipou^ihe country, from Del-
Jbexas, and from Missouri to
iclusive, there will soon be sent
,ress a solid opposition to the
;nt administration. It can’t well be
herwise. No white man in all these
States can afford to support a party that
r els him and his family to associate
terms of equality with negroes; and
e said before the most respectable
ruon of the negroes are convinced it
will be to them a source of evil, and only
evil continually. If the Radicals were
not demented in their self-consciousness
of power they would see this result, and
stop; but they will close their eyes and
rush the bill through and take the conse
quences.
We Hope They Will Not Bo Zt.
There is a rumor that the Democratic
Governors of several of the Southern
States are to meet and take steps to coun
teract the effects of the Radical meeting at
Chattanooga. We most sincerely hope
they will do no such thing. If they do
have such a meeting it will be reported
through all the northern States that this
meeting of Democratic Governors is for
the purpose of concocting another re
bellion and that we are on the eve of an
other civil war, and absurd as this may
seem here, thousands and tens of thou
sands at tLe north would believe it. The
leaders of the Grant party are trying to
make the people believe this very thing.
It is their only hope of savin g their par
ty in several of the northern States. All
of the movements of troops, and the pre
tended fear of riots, and the oppression
of the negroes has been gotton up and
manufactured for the express purpose of
persuading the people at the north that
there is danger of another rebellion, and
that it is necessary to keep the Republic
can party in power to crush out this new
rebellion. This was the burden of the
late speeches of Dawes and Butler, and
Conkling, and such a meeting of South
ern Governors would confirm many peo
ple in this opinion, and it would be the
means of turning the scale against us in
many Congressional Districts. The most
intelligent people at the north are com
batting this war rumor, but if this meet
ing of Southern Governors should take
place, it would be believed until after it
had had its effect on the next election.
The B lections.
Washington, October 12.—West Vir
ginia elects congressmen and legislators.
Upon the latter depends a United States
Senator. Ohio elects all except govern
or. No senator is involved. Indiana
elects all except governor. A United
States Senator involved. Nebraska lias
a full election, and a United States Sena
tor is involved. Iowa has a full election
except governor, But no senator. Dako-
tah Territory elects a delegate. Arkansas
votes on the new constitution. These
elections involve forty six members of
Congress and three United States Sena
tors.
The Last Desperate Resort.
A Washington special to the Cincinnati
Enquirer says it is obvious, from the in'
flammatory publications authorized by
Attorney General Williams, that the ad
ministration have resolved on a reign o'
terror in Alabama, as their last desperate
■resort to prevent the State from going
Democratic. The Secretary of War has
notified Gen. Sherdian to send infantry
regiments, if possible, to the South. It is
understood that when this officer was
present in Washington the other day to
attend the Sherman wedding, he told At
tomey General Williams that to with
draw any of the force now under his com
mand would cripple him in his opera
tions designed to check the hostile In
dians on the frontier and the plains, and
it was then understood that he was not
to be called on for troops. It would ap
pear that some political or pecuniary in
fluence has been brought to bear to
change the policy then determined upon.
i— ■«——
The people of Elbert county, in cons
vention assembled, adopted the follow
ing: First. Be it resolved, That as
members of the Democratic party of El
bert county, and of the State of Georgia,
we are unutterably opposed to Radical
ism in any shape. Second. That we
confidently believe that the State of Geor
gia is not legally bound to pay the bonds
of said State, declared to be fraudulent,
null and void by the Bond Committee,
and General Assemblys of 1871 and
1872. Third. That we assert the pre
sent Constitution of Georgia not to have
been made by the real citizens of the
State; and that the dignity of the old Em
pire State requires the calling of a con
vention to mould a constitution that shall
reflect the wishes of its good men.
Bequest of a Southern Gentleman to
Southern Negroes.
Washington, October 9.—Gassoway B.
Lunar, who died recently in New York,
bequeathed one hundred thousand dol
lars for the erection at Savannah of
a home for the aged and infirm negroes.
[G. B. Lamar was one of the most fie
ry of secessionists. His son, Col. Charles
A. L. Lrmar, was killed near Col. Mott’s
residence by the Federals in their advance
on Columbus on April 16th, 1865. He
was one of the most gallant officers in
the Confederate service. Mr. G. B. La
mar was robbed by the Government of
thousands of bales of cotton. Of late
he has recovered from the Government,
through the courts, a considerable por
tion. He owned hundreds of negroes.
Though freed against his will, he still
preserved affoction for them. Though a
true Southerner, and what may be called
a bitter Democrat, he still had a love for
his former slaves, and leaves this magni
ficent bequest to the aged and infirm who
were lately slaves. Did any Northern
Radical do anything so generous ? Seward
and Sumner died rich. They left their
descendants rich. Not a word about the
aged and infirm. They left only the
Civil rights bill, the emblem of hate and
discord. Mr. Lamar, the Southerner
and ex-secessionist, the hater, according to
the Radical theory, of the black man, be
queathed an asylum for his old age,
while Civil Rights cannot furnish a liveli
hood. Which has proved the truest
friend of the black race?—News Ed.]
The Campaign War Bance.
Under this head the New York Tri
bune reviews Gen. Butler’s late
speech to liis constituents in Essex coun
ty, Massachusetts. In that speech Gen.
Butler tries to make his hearers believe
that the uprising of the people in Louis
iana against Kellogg was the commence
ment of a new Rebellion throughout the
South, and that the country would need
him and Gen. Grant and the Republican
party again to put down this new Rebel
lion. Daws speech at the Republican
Convention of Massachusetts was in the
same strain, that a new Southern rebel
lion had commenced, and it would not
do to trust the Northern Democrats with
power because they sympathised with the
Southern Rebels. Gen. Butler said he
told the Secretary of War not to draw
the regular troops from the frontier, but
to send for him, and in tliirty-eix hours
he would be in Washington City with
six thousand Essex county volunteers.
This bragadocia must have sounded fun
ny to those who remembered that Gen.
Butler took his first lesson in the war
dance at Big Bethel where D. H. Hill
with a few North Carolina militia taught
him and his Essex county volunteers
their first steps in
“The true war dance of Yankee Reels
And manual exercise of heels ;
Made them give up, like Saints complete
The ar:n of flesh, and trust their feet.
And work, like Christians undisaembling
Salvation out with fear and trembling.’’’
In this one lesson Gen. Butler learned to
practice not only the yankee reel, but
also the waltz and the gallopade. It is
said on that occasion he practiced a new
manoeuvre, the advance backwards in
double quick. Gen. Butler is not re
markable lor his generosity, but on that
day he certainly gave the North Caroli
nians considerable ground, and without
waiting to receive their thanks, took him
self off, acting upon that prudent maxim,
That he who fights and runs sway
May live to fight some other day.
Political Corruption and Falsehood.
—The Alabama State Executive Commit
tee of the Democratic and Conservative
party has issued an address to the people
of tho United States, denying the truth
of the charges made by Senator Spencer
and Congressmen White, Hays and Pel
ham, and J. J. Martin, as to outrages in
that State, and submit proofs to show
the untruth of these charges, and declar
ing that they were made for tho purpose
of influencing elections in the North and
West, and to procure Federal troops to
be sent South to control the election in
Alabama; that the rations donated by
Congress for the sufferers in the overs
flowed districts of the Tombigbee, War
rior and Alabama rivers are being used as
a corruption fund all over tho State of
Alabama, for the purpose of controlling
the election by the Republican party, and
submitting proofs to show the corrupt
character and lawlessness of the leaders
of that party in Alabama.

Quitman, October 7.
Capt. Hunter was seriously stabbed to
day by a negro named Nick Thomas, and
also struck with a stick by a negro named
Ben Jordan. They are both in jail.
Strong threats of a rescue were made,
and there was an attempt to take Nick
from the officers, but the officers were
promptly sustained by the eitizens. The
negroes were muttering, and threatening
to fire all the evening. A house, filled
with fodder and corn, on the north side
of the town, was fired by some negro
about five o’clock. This was at once
discovored to be a stratagem to draw the
people to the fire and then rescue the
prisoners. The rush was to the jail, and
no effort was made. The plan was a white
man’s and not a negro’s. The town is
well guarded, and all is quiet. There is
scarcely a hope for Capt. Hunter’s recove-

Bow to Sstimate the Profits of a
; Farm.
The farmer lives in his own house.
The use of the house, which he does not
pay for, is as much a part of his income
as the money which a salaried man pays
for rent is of his, and should be counted
as such in an estimate of the profit of
the farm. All things produced on the
farm and consumed on the farmer’s table
including the vegetables from the garden,
the eggs and milk used in cooking, are
as much a part of his income as the mon
ey paid for such things out of his salary
is of the salaried man. If a farmer gives
his wife and children a pleasant ride to
town, using his own horses and wagon,
the value of their use is part of his income
from the form as truly as the money the
other man pays out of his salary for car
riage hire is of his. The correct rule for
estimating the income from a farm is sub
stantially this: Give credit for every
article produced, used or expended in any
way whatever, no matter how small in
value, as well as for cash received for pro
ducts sold, and for increase in the value
of farm property, and charge against the
farm for interest on capital invested, and
for all expenditures- The fanner that
will do this from year to year will not so
much feel like complaining of the unprofi
tableness of farming as compared with
other pursuits. The fact is that not one
in a hundred farmers take into consider-
tion the luxury and comforts of fresh
eggs, butter, milks, fruits, etc., that they
would have to pay high prices for if they
lived in towns, or do without them.

Texas Crops! The Cattle Interest!!
Faratra *■< Maanfaturitt!!!
Houston, Oct. 2d, 1874.
Mr. Editor: The reports from the dif
ferent counties in the State as far as
heard from—and but few counties now
remain to be heard from—thanks to the
efficiency of the country Press—give but
gloomy accounts of the cotton crop.—
It certainly cannot exceed a half crop.
The system of Labor with which Texas,
in common with all the South is cursed—
it being entirely negro labor—combined
with the unfavorable seasons in the early
part of the planting, and long continued
rains in the picking season, has cut the
crop short The negroes will not work
as thev ~>ught. The planter cannot con
trol them, and if he attempts it any way
a Radical howl is raised of “hatred to the
| negro,” “refusal to recognise his rights”,
i “injustice,” “oppression,” and a thousand
] other lies uttered by the priests of fraud
for political effect The result of this
j inability to control colored labor is that
j the crops are put in the ground from two
| to six weeks later than they ought to be
! This leaves the cotton to the tender mer
1 cies of the worms, or of dry weather, if
it should set in. Fortunately means have
been discovered to combat successfully
the worms by means of the patent de
stroyers, but it entails unnecessary ex
pense and labor on the planter. The
grain crop, fortunately, has been a very
good one this year and all planters and
farmers have a sufficiency of ^breadstuffs
and some to spare the Immigrants. The
season has been propitious for grass, and
the range all over the State is most ex
cellent, which enables, along with tho su
perfluity of grain, every one to have an
abundance of meat, though there is not
as much bacon in the country as there
ought to be, owing to the continual raids
of the freedmen on the stock hogs, that

The announcement of the death of
Colonel James Gardner will be read with
feelings of deepest regret by the many
friends and admirers of the deceased in
this city and throughout the State of
Georgia. For many years of his life
Colonel Gardner held a very prominent
position in public affairs, and exercised
a marked influence upon the politics of
his State and section. As editor of the
Constitutionalist, which was under his
administration the leading Democratic
paper of Georgia, he achieved a reputas
tion as a journalist second to that of no
man in the South. He was a writer of
wonderful force and vigor, and stood al
most without a rival in the field of politi
cal controversy. His party services were
so valuable and so highly appreciated
that before the war a formidable move-
ment was started for the purpose of inakr
ing him Governor, which only failed of
success by a few votes in the nominating
convention of his party. His connection
with the press ceased some years ago—
with the exception of a short period after
his return from New York— but he con
tinued to take an active interest in public
affairs up to the time of his death. The
heartfelt sympathy of many friends will
be extended to his family, which has sus
tained so keen a bereavement in his
death.

The immediate cause of his death was

I have a cow from whose milk was

butter; in the next six days twelve and
one-half pounds; the next seven days
fourteen and one-half pounds; a little

two pounds per day, strong. I have
farrow cow that weighs 1660 pounds;
these cows are natives, both of an age,
and from the same bull.
These cows are fed on hay, cut from
the tenth to the twenty-first of June, 20
pounds each per day; two quarts of corn
and cob meal made into a thin swill, in
the morning, and two quarts potatoes at
evening; that is their regular feed per
day. That makes the butter above; and
the flesh on the farrow cow, and her milk,
well pay her keeping. The butcher says
she is the fattest creature there is in town.
Then I have a calf from this farrow cow
that weighs 820 pounds at twelve months

by cutting the hay as above described,
and regularity in feeding and milking
the cows. The feed of the calf is about

“Time Tries all Things,” and has prov
ed that Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry is the remedy par excellence for
the cure of coughs colds,, croup, whoop,
ing.cough, bronchitis, asthma, phthisic,
sore throat, and influenza. It cures
coughs and oolds instanter. It soothes
the irritated parts; it heals the inflamma

to its magic influence.

Columbia, October 8.—The Conserva
tive State Convention met in tho State-
house this morning. Every county in
the State, except three, being represented.
No speeches were made and the conven
tion adopted unanimously the following
resolutions :
Whereas, The Republican party, being
in the majority in this State, is response
ble for its good, and the conservative
citizens of the State having declared that
if the Republicans would nominate for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor men
of their own party, of honesty and of
character, intellect and confidence, the
Conservatives would refrain from oppo
sition to them ; and
Whereas, tho regular nominating con
vention of the Republican party have
nominated for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor men whose antecedents show
them to be unworthy of confidence, and
whose success will insure the continuance
of the corruption, dishonesty and party
tyranny which have prostrated the State ;
and
Whereas, The independent wing of the
Republican party has declared its inten
tion to reform the government of the
State, and in pursuance of this intention,
have made nominations of men whose
antecedents entitle them to confidence in
their integrity and honesty, for which
nominations they have asked the support
of the conservatives of the State; and
whereas, we recognize that in the pres
ent condition of the State tho necessity
of checking corruption and procuring
honest officials, is paramount to all ques
tions of party, politics or appellations,
and believing the opportunity afforded
us of securing such reform will be in the
success of the nominees of the Independ
ent Republican party—
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention, called to consider the neces
sity of making nominations for State
officers in the approaching election, that
no nomination for Governor or Lieuten
ant Governor in the approaching election
be made by the Conservative citizens of
the State.
Resolved, That, in the opinion of this
body, the Conservative citizens will best
promote their interests and tho welfare
of the State by giving their support to
the candidates for Governor and Lien-
tenant Governor nominated by the Inde
pendent Republican party.
Resolved, That we adopt, as the plat
form of the Conservative party of South
Carolina “Honesty and economy in the
administration of the State govern
ment.”
Brief addresses were then made by
Gen. Kershaw, ex-Gov. Manning, and
others, supporting these views, and de
claring their belief that an era of good
feeling and good government is about to
commence in South Carolina.
The Independent Republicans are
gaining ground everywhere, and the gen
eral belief is that, with the fall and active
co-operation of the Conservatives, they
will elect their candidates for Governor
and Lieutenant Governor, and will elect
Gen. Kershaw to Congress.
Animals are now slaughtered scientifi
cally in Paris and Vienna. The instru
ment used is simply a very convenient
form of axe, with a hollow cylinder’ (like
a gun wad punch) about six inches long
and one inch in diameter, with its edge
ground sharp on the end opposite the
blade. A single blow with this end cats
a round hole in the forehead, and produ
ces instant death. Under the old method
it required ten or more blows to produce
death.
“Well, Pat, Jim didn’t quite kill yon
with the brickbat, did he?” “No; but I
wish he had.” “Why so?” “So that I
could have seen him hung, the riUain.”
How often do we hear men brag of hav
ing made their fortune by the sweat of
their brow; sometimes the assertion, acs
companied by the gesture of scraping the
sweat from the brow with the finger and
throwing it off, and the man says with
perfect confidence and self assurance, that
he deserves the credit that none can gain
say. The general reception of the dictum
is evidence of its truth. Sorely it is hon
orable for a man to labor. Why, then, it
may be inquired, the prejudice which so
many persons, especially fashionable
young men, have against mannal labor?
We sometimes hear the expression used
in speaking of the status of an individual,
“he is a common laborer.” That desig
nation means something more than a
man who labors; it is understood to mean
a man of a low order of intellect, and
perhaps also of morals, who stands so
low in tho scale of humanity that he can
not earn his existence without doing
menial labor under the control of others.
Such a man is simply classed just where
he belongs. The man of intelligence, of
energy, of honor who labors because he is
poor, stands in a very different class, and
is always appreciated by his fellowmen
to his full worth. If a young man feels
ashamed of labor, it is from the unfound
ed apprehension of being improperly
classed. But he should not forget that
merit always meets with its reward. There
are others who are ashamed of labor from
another motive—it is pride; they are
ashamed of being poor. Snch are to be
pitied, because they often do worse than
be poor. Men known to be of such a dis
position will always find it to be an ob
stacle in enjoying the confidence of others.
A man who is ashamed to work may bring
upon himself the necessity of cheating,
stealing, or using some deceptions to ob
tain, by unfair means, wherewith to sup
ply his necessities, instead of doing it by
honest labor. This last designation is a
harsh one, and, no doubt there are many
whom the cap would fit, bat very pro
bably none will come to claim it. Bat
let them take warning, that paople may
find whom it fits. Some people don't
labor because they are lazy. That is a
constitutional defect, a disease; they are
truly entitled to pity, but if they don’t
take care, that is about all they will get
in these hard times.
Why should there be hard times when
every one can make his labor pay if he
will go to work in the right place* In
the cities and towns, there are too many
young men looking after clerkships and
situations. On an avenge, for one place
to be filled, there are fifty applicants—
the other forty-nine most do worse, or
starve. There is plenty of land to cul
tivate, and fields, and whole plantations
abandoned, that want nothing bat a little
labor rightly applied, to make every o le
independent, happy and rich. Some will
object that they are not used to that kind
of labor. That is simply a misfortune.—
Where is the remedy? Can yon find an
other? At the beginning of the war many
brave young fellows (it makes the heart
throb with pleasure and pride to know it)
went into the army to fight the battles of
their country. They were not used to
hard labor; they did harder labor, and
suffered more hardships than are ever ex
perienced on a farm. They stood it, im
proved upon it, became men, and now
they are afraid of labor. It is not that
they cannot do it, bat are too lazy or too
proud; instead of honor, they get what
they are entitled to, pity, and something
less. They shonld know that farm labor
honorable, and that it will pay, sad pay
handsomely. One intelligent laborer will
do more with half work than the unintell
igent; all farm work is not hard labor; it
may be so divenrified in our beantifril and
genial climate as to be a labor of lore
rather than one of toil and pain.—In what
other time and country baa there bean
such chances offered for success in agri
culture—J. C. DeLavigne, in Fib Ho,
1870 of DtBow't Review.
and evening.
Mr. A Scott, of Craftsbury, Vt, who
communicated the above statements to
the Mirror and Fanner, was one of the
first farmers in New England who dared
to boldly start out with his scythe in
June and cut his hay before it was more
than half grown. About the time his
neighbors were finishing theirs, he found
the other half grown, which was cut as a
second crop, thus giving him two crops
of rowen, instead of one of ripe hay. It
is several years since we have heard from
this bold pioneer in the new practice of
cutting grass for cows instead of hay, and
we are glad to learn that he is still suc
cessful in his experiments, as the above
record would indicate.
Royal Magnificence.
So passed the famous Marlborough
House fancy ball of 1874, until that hap
pened which happens at every ball—tDl
people began to get hungry, in spite of
all the amusement before them. Then,
at half past 12 o’clock, their royal high
nesses led the way (the blind Duke of
Meeklenbnrg taking in the Princess of
Wales) into the upper tents which were
pitched in the garden, and reached from
the ball-room windows by a descent of a
few steps. There were two tents, a long
marquee with tables accommodating be
tween two and three hundred people,
and a smaller one with a buffet The
supper was a brilliant scene; for besides
the fea«t itself and the gorgeous throng
which ’ jartook of it, the tents were finely
decorated. Figures of men in armor
and rich tapestry were set and hung all
along the walls of the larger marquee.
This was splendid, but the smaller, and
still large, tent of the buffet was exquis
ite. Here all was scarlet. The walls
were hung with scarlet velvet Indian car
pets, wedding presents to their royal
highness from an Indian princess, embroi
dered in the centre with gold and pre
cious stones in the Indian manner. On
the tables were scarlet geraniums, scar
let geraniums hung in baskets from the
roof; the servants wore scarlet liveries.
The vista along these tents thronged with
such a gay and gallant company more
than five hundred strong, was vary splen
did. Sapper done, there was dancing
till daylight came and after ; till at last
the end came, and the ball, which we
have endeavored to prevent from going
the way of all balls, was over. The art
and taste which went to perfect all its
arrangements deserve indeed a better
fate than to be forgotten. Tho pride of
our people requires that there should be
a well-ordered magnificence in the lives
of their princes, and certainly His Royal
Highness, the Prince of Wales, proved
himself last night well descended from
kings whose courts have never been want
ing in splendor.”
A Western fanner says in a commu
nication that he discovered many years
ago that wood could be made to last lon
ger than iron in the ground. Time and
weather, he says, seem to have no effect
on it. The post can be prepared for less
than 2 cents apiece. This is the receipt:
Take bolied linseed oil and stir it in
pulverized charcoal to the cansistency of
paint. Put a coat of this over the tim
ber, and. he adds, there is not a man that
will live to see it rot.
