Bridgeport, Conn.
Iu presenting to the People the White ;
Bronze Monuments, Statues, and Vases, i
do so, knowing (from the high source of j
their recommendation) that I am offering
them the most durable Monuments that
has ever been before the public, and their
cheapness puts them in reach of all. Be
ing from fifty to one hundred per cent,
cheaper than marble and more lasting than
marble or granite. Our Bronze is compos
ed of pure Oast Zinc, which differs mate-
rially from the commercial article, being
refined especially for our own use, and it is :
also an entirely different article from the <
sheet zinc, which is an amalgam, whilst
ours is a Pure Metal, like Gold and Silver.
The beautiful surface finish on all our work ;
is produced by the patented. sand Idas! pro- '
cess, of which we have the exclusive con
trol for this class of work, and by means of I
which wo impart a finish closely resem
bling granite, and the materia! being of
Light Gray Color, justly entitles our goods
to their trade name of “White Bronze.”
Some doubts having been expressed as
to the durability of the “White Bronze
Monuments," I submitted a piece of the j
metal to George F. Payne, a chemist of
prominence, for analysis and below give i
the result, also that of other chemists. !
Judge for yourselves and if you want a
monument see me beforeyou place your or
der, and 1 will give you a monument !
cheaper than anybody. Orders received
and idled from any section of the Country.
MaconTga., Feb. IS, 1882.
Me. 0. P. Heatii, Esq.,—Dear Sir: I
have examined ttie piece of metal which
vou left with me as a sample or the mate
rial used in the manufacture of white
Bronze Monnuinents for which you have
the agancy. I find it to be composed of
metalic zinc, a material of the most dura
ble nature and well calculated to withstand
all atmospheric influences. Yvi-.en proper
ly erected and of sufficient weight, they
will certainly prove durable and rather in
clined to improve in appearance than io
deterioate.
Very Respectfully, q r
Analytical Chemist.
Certificates of Prof. S. P. Sharpies, As-
sayer of Metals for the State of Massachu
setts, the highest authority of the East :
“I consider the White Bronze Monuments
practically indestructible. They will not
blacken or bocome dingy with age. Moss
will not adhere or grow upon their surface
as unon marble, and the color will remain
unchangeable while the monuments en
dure. In my opinion those monuments
will outlast the stone foundation on whicli
they stand.

The Atlanta Herald is putting in some
fancy French words that will cause its
morning contemporaries in Augusta, Ma
con and Atlanta to revise their dictiona
ries.
Mr. Stephens says, Mr. Speer never read
liis dispatch to the Independent Junta to
him before he sent it. He told Mr. Speer
lie could send nothing as coming from
him.
Many a noble life has been wrecked ere
it reached the zenith, by visions of troub
les that never came. Many a battle has
been won by an enemy who never was in
sight. _
The Independents, hoped they would cap
ture Mr. Stephens, but they were captured
by him. As a diplomat, our Uncle Aleck
would hold the four aces in a game with
Talleyrand, Gortschakoff or Beaconsfield.
The Independent Junta denounces rings,
cliques, etc., and yet they have formed a
silent copartnership with tho Republican
party, wldch is a huge combination of all
the corrupt rings and cliques in the Uni
ted States.
We have received several numbers of the
Daily Herald, a new evening paper, pub
lished in Atlanta, and edited by Mr. C. H.
Williams and Mr. Sam Small. It is a lively
and ably edited journal, and gives prom
ise of usefulness. We hope it will take firm
loot, and flourish to a green old age.
The cabinet has agreed upon tho follow
ing members of the tariff commission:
John L. Hayes, of Mass.; Henry W. Oli
ver, of l’enn.; A. M. Garland, of 111.; Rob
ert P. Porter, District of Columbia; Alexan
der Mitchell, of Wisconsin; John S. Phelps,
of Missouri; James Chesnut, Jr., of South
Carolina. The list will probably be com
pleted by William A. Wheeler, of Now York
and J. A. Amble of Ohio.
The Government method prescribed for
cleaning brass, and in use at all the Unit
ed States arsenals, is claimed to be the best
in the world. The plan is to make a mix
ture of one part common nitric .acid and
one-half part sulphuric acid in a stone jar,
having also ready a pail of fresh water and
a box of sawdust. The articles to be treat
ed aie dipped into the acid, then removed
into the water, after which they are rub
bed with sawdust. This Immediately
changes (them to a brilliant color. If the
brass lias become greasy, it is first dipped
in a strong solution of potash and soda in
warm water; this cuts tho grease, so that
the acid lias free power to act.
The Post-Appeal evidently does not want
the Democratic Convention of July 19th,
to nominate Mr. Stephens for Governor.
It is now working with all its might to
disgust, if possible, the organized demo
cracy with Mr. Stephens,by taunting them
with the fact that he is their (the Post-Ap
peal’*-) <:irididate, as if that fact was suffi
cient to disgust any deeent democrat with
Mr. Stephens. Mr. Stephens and Mr.
Thornton are two very different men, and
nobody is better satisfied of that fact than
the true Democracy of Georgia.
Several large firms in Philadelphia make
a substitute for butterine. ' In its manu
facture they use the best beef oil, togeth
er with some real butter and milk. It is
made a beautiful yellow, and. is sold at
18 cents per pound. It is a good deal bot-
than ordinary butter. There is a great de
mand for it, and it is used by many
people, who cannot afford to pay 45
cents for dairy butter. Sehollerberg-
er & Son., oueof the manufacturers, claims
that the manufacture of butterine is a
public benefit. _
A Greek set fire to the Temple of Diana
and tho most magnificent edifice in the
world was destroyed. When asked tiis mo
tive he replied that he fired the temple to
attain immortality.
He wanted to become famous and knew
of no other way of becoming so except by
MR. STEPHENS FOR GOVERNOR.
The nomination of Mr. Stephens for
Governor should be, and doubtless will be,
most acceptable to tho Democrats of
Georgia and the whole Union. Endowed
by nature with a grand intellect in a frail
body of wonderful vitality, Mr. Stephens
has breasted the political storms or half a
century. It would be unnecessary to re
view in detail the events of his life, but
perhaps, it is well to recall a few promi
nent points in his great career. No one
who studies the life of Mr. Stephens can
fail to discover that he Is a man or re
markable foresight and judgment. When
the old whig party was dissolved, Mr.
Stephens attached himself to the Demo
cratic part}-. In the contest of 1860, he
was a supporter of Mr. Douglas for Presi
dent, and upon recurring to the events of
that day, no Democrat can fail to lament
that the party did not unanimously nomi
nate and support the Illinois chieftain.
Had that been done ho would have been
elected and the war averted. Again, in
1861, Mr. Stephons opposed the policy,
while he admitted the right, of seperate
State secession. Had his counsels been
followed a compromise probably would
have been effected, and the bloody drama
which followed changed into an era of
peace and fraternity.
The nomination of Mr. Stephens is es
pecially acceptable because he is a Demo
crat with Democratic principles. Some of
the Democrats of the present day are
more or less imbued with tho principles of
tho Republican party, protection of mo
nopoly at tho expense of the people, a sur
render of State rights, and an acknowl
edgement and acquiescence in the com
plete and absolute supremacy of tho Fed
eral government In all essential matters.
These latter day Democrats view the
States as provinces. This is consolidation,
and centralization, and will ultimately
lead, if not corrected and checked, to des
potism. Mr. Stephons is a pure, undefiled,
States-right Democrat. This is no guess.
His principles are fully set forth in his
work on the “War between tho States.”
He does not subscribe to the doctrine that
might makes right, and that a minority
have no rights that a majority should re
spect.
Mr. Stephens is a philanthropist in its
broadest sense. He believes in absolute
freedom of conscience, religion, speech
and action, within the bounds of law found
ed on liberty. With a kindly nature, a
charitable heart, a ripe experience and an
unsullied name, ho is a bright example of
pure Democracy, and wiii make a govern
or of the whole people.
THE SOUTH AND WEST.
The South directed the general policy of
the United States government from the
time of the formation of the Union to the
period of the war. But tho business poli
cy of the government, laws in regard to
navigation, fisheries, and tariff’s, it not ab
solutely controlled, at least were moulded
by the influence of the Eastern States.
During and slnco the war this latter Influ
ence has been strengthened and increased,
and has been the dominant power of the
laud. Under it, tho Eastern States have
become populous, rich and powerful, most
ly at tho expense of the people of tho sec
tions. Tho New England people arc re
markable for their talent and energy. Em
igrants from the Eastern to tho Western
States have generally been the ruling ele
ment In tho latter. But this condition or
affairs is beginning to change. The cen
tre of population, and the centre of power,
is travelling westward. This has been
produced in great part by the immense
immigration from Europe, which general
ly finds a resting piaco in the prairies and
wheat fields of the West. The population
of the South has also greatly Increased,
much more than was anticipated. The
East is essentially a manufacturing sec
tion, while the South and West are chiefly
agricultural. The agricultural population
of this country has been greatly imposed
upon by that class legislation of Congress
for the past twenty years. Tho time is
coming, indeed it is here, when tho South
and West will eombine to protect the in
terests of the people of those sections from
the exactions which are now imposed up
on them. The Mississippi river, and its
tributaries, water the land occupied by
one-half of the population of the United
States. This great waterway should be
improved and perfected, and made tha
great highway of commerce In this coun
try. The signs of the times indicate that
within a few years, the legislation of Con
gress wfil be corrected, so that the bless
ings and the burdens of the government
will descend in an equal proportion upon
ail the people of all the sections.
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK NORTH
AND SOUTH.
The condition and prospects of the Dem
ocratic party have never been so bright
and promising since the war as they now
are. The prospect of the control of the
next House of Representatives and the
election of the next President is cheering.
That tho South wiii be solid in the next
Presidential contest is assured. Virginia
went for the Readjusters upon a local debt
issue, but a large majority of the voters
of that State are allied to the National
Democracy in a National contest. In no
Southern State' do the Republicans stand
a chance to carry the election. In the
North the division between tho stalwarts
and moderate Republicans, the attitude of
the Republicans in regard to the social
habits of the people, the extravagance of
the Republican Administration, and the
heavy burdens laid upon the poor for the
benefit of the rich, have produced an im
pression upon the public mind that will
insure one-third if not one-half of tho
Northern States to the Democratic can
didate. Conkling saved New York to Gar
field at tho last election, and it is reasona
bly certain that the vote of this State will
bo cast for the Democratic candidate at
the next election. The bitterness between
Conkling and his opponents In the Repub
lican party cannot be healed by that
time. Indiana and Ohio are considered
safe for the Democrats because of the
alienation of the German vote from the
Republicans, on account of the interfer
ence of that party with tiieir social cus
toms and habits. Ail of the Pacific States
are put down as safe for the Democrats on
account of the attitude of Arthur, and the
majority of the Republicans, on tiie sub
ject of Chinese immigration. Iu Pennsyl
vania theie is a division between Boss
Cameron and a large body of Republicans,
who are tired of his despotism and his dul-
ness. In close States such as New Jersey,
Connecticut and New Hampshire, the
chances of the Democrats are as good as
those of the Republicans. The election of
a Democratic President may be consider
ed as a foregone conclusion. Ail that is re
quired is good management, or the ab
sence of bad management. It is only a
question of majority. The majority may
be small, but it is more likely to reach two-
thirds or the Electoral College. With the
President and both Houses of Congress,
the Democrats will enter upon a lease of
power for an indefinite period. The bur
dens of taxation will be regulated and re
duced, the business interests of the coun
try will bo protected, but not changed into
heartless and grinding monopolies, and
the expenses of the government will be
reduced to the plane of economy.

A discussion was held in tin: Methodist
Conference at Nashville on the subject or
the name of the church. The committee of
revised proposed to droop the word ‘South’
from the name and to change tho name
from the Methodist Episcopal to the Epis

ed the change and thought 400,000 negroes
in the South would join tho church but
would not so long as the name remained

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
In the annals of parties, perhaps no one
ever existed more remarkable than the Re
publican party of this country, save per
haps the Jacobin party in France. From
its very birth it has been a i evolutionary
and unconstitutional party. Allot its im
portant acts have been done outside of the
Constitution and in defiance of the law of
the land. Before the war the Republicans
spit upon the Constitution, violated their
solemn oaths to support it, and boldly ap
pealed to a higher law. The war upon
ihe South, the emancipation of the slaves,
and the so-called reconstruction of the se
ceded States, were done In violation of the
supreme law of the land. Thad. Stevens,
the Republican leader after the war, bold
ly proclaimed that his party was acting
outside of the Constitution. Gen. Grant
established a military administration,
and the last act performed under his re
gime was the theft ot tho Presidency, and
the induction into that office of a man who
had I een defeated at the polls. Tho last
outrage performed by this party is the ar
bitrary proceedings in tho case of Mackey
vs. Dibble. Finding that they could not
seat Mackey upon forged testimony by
the rules or the House, they have over
thrown the rules iu order to accomplish
their object. Tho rules of the House pro
vide, that no rule eau be suspended except
by a two-thirds majority, and yet the
Speaker by an arbitrary decision has
brushed away the rules allowing certain
motions to be made, the rules have been
forcibly changed by a fractional vote, and
tho way made easy for the bare Republi
can majority to perpetrate whatever out
rages they may feel disposed to do. This
violent and corrupt party lias been kept in
power by the vast official patronage of the
government, by force and fraud when nec
essary, and by the liberal expenditure of
money by those who get tha offices, the
contracts, and whose business is benefitted
by unjust and partial legislation. But the
day of reckoning will come. The tide will
come, and swelling as it flows, will sweep
forever from power a party which has
stained the history of America with un
numbered crimes.
It is very evident that the people of
Georgia, with a unity approximating una
nimity, desire Mr. Stephens to be their next
Governor. While the human miud inStinct-
ively worships a Supreme Being, the hu
man intellect loves to admire some man em
inent among his fellows. The French loved
and admired Napoleon, and were equally
ready to follow him to the north pole or
to the southern deserts. Calhoun was the
political guide in South Carolina, as was
Clay in Kentucky. The people of Georgia
are not hero worshippers, but Mr. Ste
phens is a political apostle in their estima
tion. He fills the bill of a popular leader,
who our people delight to follow and hon
or. His venerable years passed in tho ser
vice of his country; his broad philanthro
py, which like the canopy of heaven, em
braces all climes, all nations and all creeds;
his historic deeds mingled with the most
thrilling periods of his country’s history;
his unselfish charity which has educated
numbers of young men; his cordial hospi
tality whieli has made his home Liberty
Hall in truth, as well as in name; his burn
ing eloquence and trumpet tongue of for
mer days, which still linger in the memory
of his contemporaries; his spotless integ
rity, unsullied name, frail body, and last
not least his steadfast devotion to the
principles of the Democratic party, have
all united and contributed to make him the
favorite son of Georgia. When Congress
adjourns and he returns to Georgia, his
journey through the State will be a trium
phal march, like the march of Napoleon
from Elba to Paris.
THE CARROLLTON HANGING.

CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, D, C., May 29.—House.—
Mr. Reed, of Maine, cuffed up for consider
ation the proposed amendment to the
rule prohibiting dilatory motions on a-
contested election case. Mr. Blackburn
made a motion to adjourn tiff Wednesday,
yeas, 2; nays, 145. Mr. Randall moved to
adjourn to Thursday. Mr. Reed made the
point of order that on a proposition to a-
mend the rules, dilatory motions cannot
be entertained. Mr. Randall denied the
right of the speaker to place such a con
struction upon his motion. Mr. Reed pro
posed to discuss the point of order, and
the speaker said he would not limit the de
bate to less than one hour on each side. Mr.
Rood opened tho discussion. He claimed
that the constitution devolved the duty on
the House to judgeof the qualification of its
members. That the House had for days
been attempting to perform that duty. Tho
best way to effect that was to amend the
rules. It was tho duty of the speaker
to carry into effect the constitution. Ho
quoted ex-speaker Randall, who refused
to allow dilatory motions to defeat the
report of tiie electoral commission. Also a
decision of ex-speaker Blaine that dilatory
motions could not be made pending a prop
osition to change the rules. Mr. Randall
replied to Mr. Reed. He argued that just
as the constitution prescribed the manner
in which it should be amended, so the rules
prescribed the manner in which 1 hey should
be amended. As to his decision in regard
to the electoral count, he had put it on the
ground that tho law under which the House
was then acting was greater than the rules,
and cut off dilatory motions. As to Mr.
Blaine’s ruling or rather dictum, it was
not pressed and after that it was conceded
that only by a two-thirds vote could dila
tory motions be cut off. Mr. Kasson ar
gued that under the present system the
minority could block the legislation of the
House, and nothing would be left for tho
House to do but adjourn and leave the
government to perish. Mr. Carlisle, of
Kentucky, said the House was bound by
its rules. If the majority could, in the at
tempt to take up the contested election
case, change the ruls in order to establish
a new method of proceeding, it could step
in in the midst of the appropriation bill and
change the rules that govern the proceed
ings of the House in consideration of that
measure, and so it would go on a nd on, un
til the rules were frittered away and there
would be nothing to govern the proceed
ings of tiie House hut tho arbitrary will
of a majority. The right of the minority
to protect itself by a resort to parliamen
tary process was an unquestioned right in
this country. Mr. Blackburn, of Ky., said
it required a two-thirds majority to sus
pend any rule for one hour, but now it was
claimed a majority, of one, could change
or abrogate all rules. The discussion was
continued by Haskell, of Kansas; Robe-
son,_ of New Jersey; Cox, of New York;
Hazelton, of Wisconsin; Robinson, of
Mass.; and Randall, of Penn. Reed of
Maine closed the discussion. The speaker
made a decision sustaining Mr. Reed’s
point of order—that dilatory motions can
not be made to prevent a change of rules.
Mr. Randall appealed from the decision of
tho chair, and Mr. Reed moved to lay the
appeal on the table, yeas 150, nays none.
After the announcement of the vote Mr.
Cox, of New York, presented a protest
signed by over one hundred Democratic
members against the ruling of the speaker.
The report of the commitee on rules, was
adopted. Yeas, 150; nays, 2. Adjourned.
Washington, D. C., May 26 House.—
There was an angry colloquy between
Mess. Randall of Penn., and Marsh, of Il
linois ; and much confusion in the House,
which arose from Mr. Moore, of Tenn.,
speaking or the Southern Democrats as
those latelv in rebellion against the Gov
ernment. Mr. Miller ot Penn., made a
threatening remark in relation to the Dem
ocrats, which called forth a rebuke from
the speaker in reference to the disorder in
the House. Mr. Blackburn, of Ky., in or
der to settle the difficulty offered a resolu
tion to appoint a committee of five mem
bers, to investigate aliedged alteration mid
forgery of the evidence in tiie Mackey Dib
ble case. There was much confusion in
the House, the Republicans being averse to
tiie resolution, and finally amid the noise
the House adjourned May 27. Mr. Reed,
of Maine, made a report from the com
mittee on rules.
Mr. Kenna, of West Virginia, moved to
take a recess. The sneaker refused to put
the motion, and Mr. Kenna appealed from
the decision of the chair. The chair refus
ed to entertain the appeal, and the report
i was read to amend the rules to tiie effect
