An election on the liquor question will be held in Pulaski county on the 18th of February. The United States Supreme Court have declared against all State or local taxes on drummers. Tiie stormiest troubles ahead for the administration are not to be ap prehended from the republicans, but from the democrats who feel that either they or their constituents have been unjustly treated. Judge J. T. Henderson, Commissioner of Agriculture of Georgia, lias prepar ed for gratuitous distribution a man ual on tobacco cult tire for beginners, which is gotten up with the intelli gent care that characterizes his office. Tiie interest in this subject is rapidly increasing in the South, and it is one worthy of careful study and experi ments. to sav the least of it. We note in the news of the day, the death of the Hon. David R. Atchison. Before our civil war, he represented tiie State of Missouri, in the U. S. Senate and was a leading Democratic Statesman. He was at one time, if we mistake not, the presiding officer of the Senate, at a time xvhen the Vice President had taken the place of a deceased President, who died while in office. He must have lived to quite an advanced age. I am sure that tiie fell power of in temperance must and will be restrain ed some day, yet I do not knoxv how it will be done. None of the methods 1 see advocated seem to me to promise absolute victory, but I say "God speed” to every effort. Happy and good to live in is the age in which any man may permit himself to be grateful for any good thing that any good man is doing.—Rev. Phillips Brooks. A Needed Caution.—We learn from the Herald that the cook of Mr. E. A. Sullivan of Sandersville, took up the ashes in a wooden box one night recently, and placed the same under the stove. During the night the box was entirely consumed by the coals left in it and the flooring for two oi three feet was likewise burned. For tunately the lire went out of itself. Many a mysterious fire has had just such an origin. A box made of wood, if ever used for such a purpose, should be p'aced out of doors, away from fenees or any other substance which could be burned. A special from -Washington to the Atlanta Capitol, says: Senator Colquitt is receiving letters from all sections of the country cover ing invitations for him to address the people on the subject of temperance. His speech recently delivered in this city created a profound impression among the temperance people. One letter has reached him from far off Oregon, and another from Kansas and numbers from points East and North. On to-morrow he will deliver a tem perance address in Philadelphia, "and during the month of February he has appointments to speak in Brooklyn and at Nexv Britain, in the State of Connecticut. I find that even here, in this modern Sodom, the temperance element is making sure and steady progress. Mr. Spurgeon’s Devotion to Christ. The great English preacher, in a sermon at Leeds, England, alluding to Dr. Dick's wish that he might spend eternity in wandering from star to star, said : “For me, let it be my lot to pursue a more glorious stud}'. My choice shall be this: I shall spend 5,000 years in looking into the wound in the left foot of Christ, and 5,000 years in looking into the xvound in the right foot of Christ, and 10,000 years more in looking into the wound in the right hand of Christ, and 10,000 years more in looking into the wound in the left hand of Christ, and 20,000 years more in looking into the wound in his side. " We don't think this is the most useful kind of preaching. It is better to pre sent him in the light of a risen and glorious Savior, reigning in eternal majesty, whole and sound, scattering heavenly beauty over the eternal kingdom of his Father. Yes, it is bet' ter to present him there in this way, than as Mr. Spurgeon does, as a man gled and wounded object to the re deemed who enjoy the incomprehensi ble felicity resulting from his worldly sacrifice for them. That may be a mere specimen of Mr. Spurgeon's ac knowledgement of his sacrificial atone ment, but it would not be compatible with the ideas of the redeemed who would enjoy the glory and blessing of liis reign in heaven. He is presented as having finished his earthly mission and ascended to a seat in Heaven on the right hand of his Father. THE SUN. The many strikes, taking place In our country originate in no small de gree from a real or supposed with holding from labor a just reward. We have often thought it would be a good policy by some kind of National legislation to secure to each family whose labor may acquire it, a little spot of earth that it may call its own —that will be ttii asylum in times of adversity, from xvhich the mother aud the children, old age and infancy, can still draw sustenance and obtain pro tection though misfortune may rob them of all else, and they feel that they are still free—still entitled to walk the green earth and breathe the free air of heaven, in defiance of the potency and power of accumulating wealth and the domineering of the pretending and ambitious. The sa credness of that consecrated spot will make them warriors in time of exter nal strife. “These shocks of corn, - ’ said Xenophon, "inspire those who raised them, to defend them. The largest of them in the field is a prize exhibited in the middle of the state to crown the conqueror.” Secure a home to every family whose labor may ob tain one, against the xveakness, vices or misfortunes of father and you riv et the affection of the child, in years ot manhood, by a stronger bond than any consideration that could exist.— He will remember where he gamboll ed in his early youth, the stream upon whose flowery banks he felt a moth er's love, and the green spot wdthin that little homestead where sleep the loved and the lost. How this could be accomplished would be a difficult question to answer. Franoe has pro vided for about eight millions of her people, but they are small patches from four to seven acres. We have this policy alluded to. We presume without knowing the fact, that those small homes wore bought by the gov ernment and distributed under regu lations requiring the parties to pay for them in small installments. Greedy speculators in our country have ac quired large portions of our public lands, but still there is enough left to furnish a small home, from 25 to 50 acres, to the heads of families who have no home of their own, and are unable to purchase them without public assistance. Colonies, of the pool' could move rapidly to special reservations made for them. With gradual appropriations, money for building purposes, and supplies of food until it can be grown on the homes, appropriated for them. How much more cheaply and easily could such colonies grow up than did our English fathers in the early settle ments of this country. Yea, it xvould cost the 20tli part of what those early colonies cost, aud it would be an ap- propriation of the public that would make millions of acres blossom like the rose, and go far to prevent the evils of strikes, which absolutely threaten the public peace. We throw out these views for what they are worth; believing their adoption would relieve much suffering and promote the general prosperity. No one can doubt that our country is rich enough to adopt them, and would, in doing so, become in reality a great paternal benefactor. Some statesman, of en larged views, might make for him self in their advocacy and adoption, a name that would make him illust ons as a great benefactor. He xvould not only promote the happiness of an immense number of the poor, but he would do much to check the strikers, who, it must be seen, are threatning in many sections the public peace.

The publishers of Rutledge’sjMonth- ly offer twelve valuable rewards in their monthly for February, among xvhich is the folloxving: We xx'i 11 gix'e $30.00 to the person telling us which is the longest verse in the Old Testament Scriptures (not the revised edition), bv Feb. 10th, 1886.

The sun, its great centre, is a luminous demon stration of tiie existence of Almighty poxver. What it is, is left to philo sophical conjecture. Its great heat is supposed to come from a luminous atmosphere, which surrounds it. That it is thought by some philosophers it is perpetually burning with a heat far beyond mensuration, or any con- | eeption of the human mind. We ad- i mire a great conflagration upon earth: I the burning of Moscoxv, or London, or any other immense pile of buildings 1 is a theme for an artist, or a writer, | but what pencil or language could ' poitrny the burning atmosphere I xvhich surrounds the sun? The be- , holder, if he could approach near | enough to witness it, and the eye : could bear the light, would be over- ( xvhelmed by its luminous sublimity, i All nature, the entire universe, xvould | seem to him wrapped in an appalling I conflagration. Heaven xvould pour ! out its shoxvers of fire, aud rain its i lavas of burning elements, constitu ting, in the eves of the beholder, a ! grand, sublime, overwhelming empj - | rosis. But, as it is, the sun sinks to j rest amidst the softened glory of his beam3. Golden clouds hover over his flaming - couch. The low sinking sun steeps the woods and hills, and draxvs a crimson shroud around its glowing limbs as it sinks to rest. It is not difficult to know that in the ancient oil Work of Funny Men. We are in receipt of a little book, which in richness of humor and gro tesqueness of illustration, may be said in the language of the xvild West, to “take the cake.” It is simply drawing it mild to say that it 'con tains some of the best examples of American humor ever published; and the contributors, who are well-known in the field of letters, have really ex celled all former efforts. The illus trations by comic artists are also in direct harmony with the text. “Bill Nye" tells his experience with a cyclone. R. K. Munkittrick, of Puck, rhymes funnily on the four season*. Mr. Ii. D. Fmhstaetter, the originator f the book, describes his wrestle with a grilled bone in “merrie Eng land, " and “M Quad,” of the Detroit Free Press, gives some quaint aphor isms of “Brndder Gardner's.” The book, in fact, is not one to be glanced at and laid aside and forgotten, but can be taken up with pleasure at any time. Its title is the St. Jacobs Oil Family Calendar and Hook of Health and Humor for the Million for 1880. It is published by The Charles A. Yogeler Company, Baltimore. Md., the proprietors of St. Jacobs Oil,—a remedy xvhich is unix'ersallv known as the only cure for rheumatism and all bodily pains, and which has been endorsed by leading men in every country in the world. Red Star Cong’s Cure, the new twenty-five cent remedy for throat and lung trouble*', xvhich is also being manu factured by this house, has re- cieved tiie endorsement of legisla tors and boards of health on account of its freedom from dangerous opiates and its prompt efficacy. The book is distributed in large cities by carriers and in small towns by druggists. When there is any difficulty in ob- tainingit, a stamp sent to The Charles A.

Editors Union & Recoh- deb: Please allow me a small space in your paper on the subject of Tem perance. This is from one who has tried xvhiskey by drinking it from the top of the barrel to tho bottom of It, and I have never found any thing in whiskey but^hame,dishonor, poverty, an empty purse, lost friends, lost con fidence and sick headache. These are only some of the miseries that follow drinking and yet the half is not told. Some men xvill say quit and be a man, but if all men lox'ed whiskey as I do,there xvould not be a sober man in this world. That is a good deal to say, nex-ertheless it is true. As long as I keep away from where it is sold, I drink no whiskey, for I never kept it at inv house nor never do I want it until I see and smell it. I know men in my neighborhood who like myself feel that if it was out of Baldwin County, we would be sober men. I hear some men say it would take our rights from us. God pity the rights of a drunkard unless they make him a sober man, and the way to do it, is to put xvhiskey out of his*way. If it is not done, xvhiskey will put the drunkard out of the way. That, no man can deny. I have been drinking it about sixteen years, and I think I ought to know the evils of whiskey. I have resolved a thousand times to quit drink and have broken my resolution as often. I thought I xvould quit ex'ery.time I got drunk, because I felt so mean that I did not want to see any one, not ex'en my oxvu family. That is a bad fix to get in, but I have been in it many' times, and I knoxv that I am not by myself in this matter. I was born in this (Baldwiu) County, and so xvere my parents, and I know every man in tho county or very nearly so, and I know that if there was no xvhiskey sold in the county, it would put thous ands of dollars in provisions and clothing, that is now sunk In xvhiskey; and to be honest, I tell you I need the money in the summer that I spend in the winter for whiskey, and I need it bad too, for I want money now. I do not wish or want the whiskey sellers to think I have any thing against them nor against any one who makes it or drinks it, except my own self, and I do hate myself for drinking it. It is the worst ene my that ex'ercrossed my path and the worst enemy to the human family that tho Devil ever instituted in this world or any other. I shall vote for Prohibition, and I think there are enough men in this county who knoxv the evil of it. to banish it from the hills and valleys of old Baldwin. Some say, all who love it xvill send off to get it if it is taken out of our county, but that xvont do for a poor man, white nor black, for we will lox'e our money in our own hand bet ter than we xvill whisky in a far off place where we xvill neither see nor smell it. Seeing and smelling whis key is iust what makes a man drink it. Axvay with whiskey is my prayer Gaktersyille, January 23.—Our city was shaken last night about ten o’clock by one of the most terrific ex plosions ever heard in our communi ty. This morning it is found that the residence of United States Commis- sione: Aaron Collins had been visited by the dynamiters. A cartridge was placed on the front veranda just op posite the bed on which Mr. and Mrs. Collins xvere sleeping in their room, which xvhen it exploded came near wrecking tiie entire building, and would have done so had it been plac ed nearer the wall. Our people are thoroughly aroused and determined to ferret out the per petrators. Suspicion points to some parties and an effort was made last night to arrest Tobe Jackson, which was unsuccessful, although several shots were fired at him. His brother Snin is now in jail, and a posse is now starting to look for Tobe. He has been arrested two or three times by the United States authorities and escaped. He xvas in town last night just before the explosion. No pains or trouble will be spared to ascertain tho guilty parties and bring them to justice. Fexv people are exempt from tooth ache, and ex'en poets have written on its terrors. But this ache and everv -ield to St. Jacobs and will be my vote. One Who Knows the Evil.

Oi.i^ Fogy’s Reminiscence ojp a Rot’s Adventurous Trip to Huntsville, Ala. ONE OF DANIEL WEBSTER’S STORIES. Washington Letter, From Our Regular Correspondent Washington, Jan. 25, 1886. Skirmishing between the President and the Republican Senators; lively debates in the lower branch of Con gress; notable speeches in the Senate; a Convention in behalf of the Missis sippi river, and another by the Nation al Board of Trade are features of the week at the Capital. The controversy between the Presi dent and the majority in the Senate has reached an interesting point, and there is prospect of a political debate in that end of the Capital this xveek. The republicans of tho Senate deter mined long since to make as much trouble for tiie President and his par ty as they could. They xvill take every advantage within their reach to perplex and annoy the Administra tion. They assume this course to be a political duty, and their leaders, Edmunds, Hoar. Morrill. Sherman and others are thoroughly trained in all the arts of obstruction and legisla tive chicanery. They were drilling for this onslaught on the persons and policy composing the Administration at the time they were making profes sions of good xvill towards the Presi dent and his Administration. Senator Edmunds proposes to begin the light by offering his resolution calling upon the President to furnish information regarding the cases of re moval of federal officials and his rea sons for the same. The Democratic Senators are united and harmonious and will support Mr. Cleveland. They are getting ready for the discussion by holding caucuses and the Republicans are doing likexx'ise. There is no more bitter partisan in the Senate than chieftain Edmunds, of Vermont. He is the arch enemy of the Democratic party, and he shaped this little game while profess ing great admiration for the Presi- ident’s good intentions and an anxious desire for his success. He took pains to call at the White House at the time of Vice President Hendricks’ death and affected good xvill towards Mr. Clex-eland by urging him not to at tend the funeral at Indianapolis. Air. Edmuads believes more in strategy than in violence, and he has laid his plan for entrapping the President very artfully. He xvould like above all things to convict Air. Cleveland of inconsistency as a Civil Service Re former and to trip the Administration. President Cleveland's future course in the matter cannot be outlined. He has expressed his willingness to furn ish tho Senate with all the papers on file in the Departments bearing upon his appointments, and such docu ments have been sent. But whether or not he will agree to Air. Edmunds’ proposed demand remains to be seen. He may be relied upon for knowing his rights under the Constitution, and also the application of the Civil Tenure laxv to his appointments. He is not apt to be discourteous to the Repub lican majority in the Senate, but he is apt to maintain the authority of the Executive. The Senate may re sent any refusal to furnish reasons for suspension or removal, but it can only reject nominations, or lav them over indefinitely. The Senate has again been debating the old Electoral Count problem. Senator Sherman went at length into the issues involved, opposing all other plans and offering one of his own. to the effect that if the two Houses disa gree, they shall meet in joint conven tion and elect a President. Other Presidential candidates besides the wily Senator from Ohio, discussed how the next x'ote of the Electoral College should be counted. These xvere Kx’arts, Mr. Hayes' Secretary of State, and Edmunds and Hoar, either of whom is reckoned as an eligible New England candidate if the other one can be gotten out of the way. Four other Presidential aspirants sat in a group silent but alert listeners, turn ing occasionally to a neighbor and whispering xvith the emphasis of a clenched fist. These xvere Hawley, Harrison, Allison aud Cullom. The subject evidently had a personal in terest for each, although Logan has said recently that no man cun go x-ote oi Ten from the Senate to the White House North Carohna, South Carolina, Ue nowadays. !

Sp<*> ial Correspondence of the Courier-Journal. Washington City, Jan. 6.—The Legislature of Tennessee met at Mur freesboro in 1823. That town was then the capital of the State. Tha only question before that body which produced unusual interest was the election of a Senator in Congress. Col. John AVilliams had served in the Senate for eight years, having been elected in 1815 to fill a vacancy and in 1817 lie xvas ohosen for a full term. At the expiration of this second term ho was a candidate for re-election. He xvas a gentleman of much ability and deserved popularity. He was the gallant Colonel of a regiment in the war of 1812, but, unfortunately, during the Creek campaign in Ala bama, he and Gen. Jackson had a quarrel, and xvere nevermore good friends. The Legislature had not been long in session before it was ascertained by a count of noses that there xvas bat one gentleman in the State who could defeat Col. Williams, and that gentleman was Gen. Jack- son. The General xvas then a candi date for the Presidency, did not de sire a seat in the Senate, but he de sired much less to see it filled by an enemy. His legislative friends held a consultation, and resolved to com municate to him the true situation by a messenger; and urge him to come immediately to Alurfreesboro. This messenger I knew intimately for more than forty years before Lis death, and a better man or truer friend nex'er lix'ed. It xx'as the late Col. Willoughby Williams, of Nashville. He told me that he left Murfreesboro at 10 o'clock at night and arrived at the Hermitage about daylight the next morning. He returned that evening, accompanied by Gen. Jack- son. The friends of ex-Senator Wil liams taw at once that it was all over with him if Gen. Jackson became a candidate for Senator. He did be come a candidate, and xvas elected. The old hero and his friends acted wisely from a political standpoint. The election of his enemy to this high position xvould have been proclaimed every where as evidence of his want of popularity in his own State, which was not true, for he was then tiie idol of Tennesseeans, and continued to be so up to the day of bis death. He re signed his Senatorship two years thereafter. My father was a farmer, and a very good one. He owned 1,000 acres of land on xvhich he raised every year 600 or 300 hogs, weighing on an average 200 pounds. In 1824 he de termined to drive them down to Huntsville, Ala., and there sell them. I asked and obtained his per mission to go along. I had then just turned into my 14th year. I toddled after the hogs, and when I became tired 1 gut into the wagon carrying our provisions, and rode until I was rested. We camped out every night, and had all sorts of fun. I enjoyed the trip as much or more than I did the one I made to Texas in 1836. We named our cook “Betsy” and a most admirable oook he was. I almost foundered on his fatty mush. Comie songs xvere sung by the drovers. Pretty rough ones, to be sure, but very amusing to me. While vre were endamped within a few miles of Huntsville, an enthusiastic Jackson man by tiie name of Gardner came to our camp and told my father that he had just heard the result of the Presi dential election, and Gen. Jackson xvas ahead of all his competitors—that he had received 1)9 electoral votes, John Quincy Adams 84, William H. Crawford 41 aud Henry Clay 37. These figures have nex'er gone out of my mind. I suppose it is the experi ence of every old man that he has a more xdx'id recollection of things he saw and heard in his youth than those which he has seen aud heard in more recent years. In tiie Presidential canvass of 1824 there was no great political issue that divided parties. Iu fact there xvas then but one organized party, and that xvas the Republican or Democrat ic partv. All the candidates for Presi dent professed to belong to that par- tv. But it was generally believed, especially in the South and West, that the Democracy of Mr. Adams xvas only skin-deep. Tho canvass of that year was conducted, not with reference to one’s special policy but with reference to individuals and to their localities. As Wm. H. Crawford is not so well known to tho present generation as Gen. Jackson, John Quincy Adams, and Henry Clav, I beg leax'e to say that he was a V irginian by birth, but removed to Georgia with his father when he xvas ten years old. I pass over the history of his youth and early manhood, which might be un interesting to the reader, and state that in 1K07 he was elected a Senator in Congress and served six years. In 1828, he xvas appointed by President Madison Minister Plenipotentiary to Franc , where he remained two years. He xvas Secretary of the Treasury un der President Madison when his Ad ministration came to a close, and was continued in that position by Presi dent Monroe, as I have already stated, till the 4th of March, 1825. In a xvord, lie was the great man of Georgia as Henry Clay was the great man of Kentucky. I am not sure that Mr. Jefferson was nominated for President by a Congressional caucus, but I am sure that Air. Madison and Mr. Monroe were. Mr. Crawford was likewise the nominee of a Congressional cau cus in 1824. The friends of Gen. Jackson, Mr. Adams and Mr. Clay, charged, and perhaps truly, that less than a majority of the Republican or Democratic members attended the caucus. Be this as it may, that mode of nomiuating a Presidential candid ate got a black eye from which it never recovered. There were then txventy-four States in the Union, giv ing-’two hundred and sixty-one elec toral votes. It took one hundred and thirty one to constitute a ma jority. As neither of the candidates had received that number the choice of President xvas transferred by the Constitution to the House of Repre sentatives. 1 have been curious to know the States in which Gen.

There were but few men xvho cared to enter the list with him. On one occasion Barnaby was employed to defend a suit for a piece of land brought by a little crab bed, cunning lawyer called Bruce. Bruce’s case xvas looked upon as good as lost when it was ascertained that Barnaby was retained against Jiiin. Th« suit came on for trial, and Barna by found that Bruce bad worked hard and left no stone unturned to gain the victory. The testimony for the plaintiff was x'ery strong, and un less it could be impeached the case of the defendant was lost. Tlio # princi pal witness introduced by the plain tiff wore a red coat. In summing up for the defense old Barnaby commen ced a furious attack on this xvituess, pulling his testimony all to pieces, and appealing t» the jury if a man who wore a red coat xvas, under any circumstances, to be believed. ‘And who is this red-coated witness?’ ex claimed Barnaby, ‘but a descendant of our common enemy, who 1ms striv en to take from us our liberty, and would not hesitate now to deprix'e my poor client of his land by making any sort of red-coated statement!’ Dur ing this speacli Bruce was walking up and down the bar, greatly excited, aud convinced that his case xvas gone, knowing as he did the prejudice of the jury against anything British. Whilst, however, Barnaby was gestic ulating and leaning forward to the jury in his eloquent appeal, his shirt bosom opened slightly and Bruce accidentally discovered that Barnaby wore a red under-shirt. Bruce's couii tenance brightened up. Putting both hands in his coat pockets, he walked the bar with great confidence, to tho astonishment of his client and all look ers on. Just as Barnaby conclude! 1 Bruce whispered in the ear of his client: ’I’ve got him; your case is safe!’ and, approaching the jury, he commenced his reply to the slaughtering argu ment of his adversary. Bruce gave a regular history of. the ancestry of his red-coated witness, proving his patrio tism and devotion to the country, and his character for truth and veracity. ‘But what, gentlemen of the jury,’ broke forth Bruce in a loud strain of eloquence, while his eye flashed fire, ‘what are you to expeot of a man xvho stands here to defend a cause based on no foundation of right or justice whatever, of a man who undertakes to destroy our testimony on the ground that my witness xx'ears a red coat, when, gentlemen of the jury—when, when, when, gentlemen of the jury (here Bruce made a spring and, catching Baraaby by the bosom of the shirt, tore it open, displaying his red flannel), when Mr. Barnaby himself wears a red flannel coat, concealed un der a blue one?’ The effect xvas elec trical; Barnaby was beaten at his own game, and Bruce gained the cause.” An Old Fogy.
