Sandorsville Herald: Aunt Mary, a

has been living on Mr. Samuel J. Smith’s

Mr. Smith aud asked him if he would not
give her the half of a one-horse farm, as
signing ms the reason for desiring to work
■y herself that the “niggers” would not
work to suit her. Mr. Smith, desiring to
please the faithful old soul, readily com
plied with her request, allotted her as
much land as she wanted and permitted
her the use of a horse half the time. She
has cultivated this year, and done it very
well, ten acres iu cotton, ten acres in corn,
a potato patch and a garden. She will
mike about three bales of cotton and
near one hundred bushels of corn. She
■us a little bunch of hogs, which she
iBooks after with groat care, and withal is
proving herself quite a farmer! During
the year she hired two days’ work to aid
her in cultivating her crop; otherwise the
work has all been done by herself. She
rover wants to come to town on Satur-

•Live Oak is getting uneasy about her

Palatka Herald: We are glad to see
that Femandina, with its twenty-four
feet of tide water bar and its inimitable
local advantages os a shipping port, takes
an interest in the St. John’s river vege
table exportations. A few years ago Mr.
Yulee and his coteries projected the
Florida Railroad under the wings of the
Iuti_mal Improvement Board of the State,
on antagonistic principles against the St.
John’s river interest. How well he suc
ceeded in breaking up the travel and
traffic and general prosperity of this sec
tion of the State at that time is too well
remembered. The times have wonderfully
changed, and retribution seems to have
taken the fate of poor Femandina in hand.
The St. John’s river is now counted for the
business to help sustain this would-be
city number one of the South. To sup
pose for one moment that Femandina is
the natural outlet of the St. John’s river
is too absurd to mention. The “Two
Sisters,” of which so much has been ex
pected, were married off years aud years
ago to old “Oakmulgee,” and there is
very little probability of any future di
vorce. We do not approve of forcing off
the Charleston nnd Savannah steamers
out of this river for the special benefit of
Amelia Island. A direct line of steamers
from Jacksonville to New York would
probably be of great advantage, but if
the present coast line to Charleston and
Savannah are offered sufficient induce
ments, it is more than probable that our
business would prosper just as well, if
not better, for we would have the advan
tage of three markets instead of one.
The Florida Railroad will have as much
as it can do to restore the business on its
own line and build up the interior trade
in the direction-of Alachua and Marion
counties. Tho St. John’s river country
now beiDg the only progressive portion
of the State, it is not desirable to ponr
tho fruits of its prosperity into the lap
of any out of the way port on our coast
for the sake of restoring the old regime
of Yulee and Femandina. Transporta
tion direct from St. John’s river is what
we want and intend -to support in all our
agricultural piojects.

An Exposed Conspiracy.
CITIL RIGHTS I?i PENNSYLVANIA.
The New York Sun devotes a full page The Civil Rights Bill Condemned by the
Fall Sttles foe Gentlemen.—Double
breasted frock coats will be worn more
than ever as a generally semi-dress gar-
to the history of one of those atrocious
conspiracies which have characterized the
career of the Washington Ring, and which
are not unknown in the experience and
workings of Rings elsewhere. It is a
peculiarity of these political cabals that
they are composed at once of reputable
and disreputable elements; that while the
hand of rascality administers affairs, it
also has the support and countenance of
men who stand high in church and State,
in finance and commerce. What is true
of Washington is true of New York and
Brooklyn, and men combine in these and
other cities for the express purpose of
enriching themselves at the public ex
pense. And woe betide the man or
men who endeavor to thwart their
wicked plans, or who expose the nefari
ous’ schemes by which they obtain
power and pelf. An eminent law
yer of New York is beaten and
left for dead in a public street by ruffians
who were instigated by the officials whose
villianies he was bringing to light. And
in Washington, when leading and wealthy
citizens force an examination into the
corruptions of the local administration, a
vile scheme is hatched by which the
reputation of good men is besmirched and
an innocent citizen is accused of safe-
burglary. The tactics of nbuse and
ridicule and mud-throwing, threats of
violence and various methods of intimida
tion have been the meanE employed in
this city to silence honest men who have
sought to protect tax-payers from the ex
tortions of ring officials, and to punish
those who have corruptly and fraudu
lently administered the trust committed
to them. Nor is this all, for the dastardly
attempt upon the life of Judge Morris
and the possible destruction of his family
is bnt one feature in the history of those
who have battled for reform in Brooklyn.
The interesting sketch given in the Sun
is a masterly exposition of this famous
Washington conspiracy, which may be
briefly summed up. Last year the best
representatives of Washington wealth and
culture petitioned Congress for relief
from the oppressors whose heavy yoke
was laid upon them. The Ring was chief
ly composed of men who held office by
appointment of the President and who
were sustained by him to the very last.
Congress could not resist the determined
pressure in behalf of this investigation,
by which it was at the outset demon
strated that the school fund has been
robbed of more than >*100,000 in order
to sustain the credit of the Board of Pub
lio Works. This was a plain violation of
the statute law. Proof was also furnished
that contracts were controlled and profits
divided in the interest of the real estate
section of the Ring. False books
were produced by contractors, and lame
and impotent efforts were made to
cover up the iniquity which was fast com
ing to light. By this time a brilliant idea
occurred to Assistant District Attorney
Harrington, one of the Ring counsel. It
was arranged that a safe in the Distriet
Attorney’s office was to he blown up by
burglars, and tho books therein contained
be delivered to Mr. Alexander, an influen
tial member of the Committee of Citi
zens. The burglar was to he arrested
while delivering the books to Mr. Alexan
der, who of course would be held as a re
ceiver and an accessary to the crime.
This nice little plan failed, much to the
chagrin of the conspirators, who watched
results from the other side of tho street.
One burglar failed to gain admittance to
Mr. Alexander’s house, and another could
not find tho house at alL The Chief of
Police attested one of the rogues, and
the conspiracy fell through. The ex
ecution of this plot required cool
heads, and experienced detectives were
sought who could find expert burg
lars, who would not only blow up
the safe but remain silent thereafter or
testify as was desired or demanded. There
must be clever and respectable rascals
who could place these men in communi
cation with Mr. Alexander, in order to
gain or seem to gain his assent to the
robbery and the delivery of the hooks.
Money, and influence, and power were
behind this scheme, and the desperation
of the plotters and their accomplices, ir
shown by the means of relief they sought,

“ The right to separate being clear in
proper cases, and it being the subject of
sound regulation, the question remaining
to be considered is whether there is
such a difference between the white and
black races within this State, resulting
from nature, law, and custom, as makes
it a reasonable ground for separation.
The question is one of difference, not of
superiority or inferiority. Why the Cre
ator made one black and the other white,
we do not know; but the fact is apparent
and the races are distinct, each producing
its own kind following the' peculiar law
of its constitution.

Letter from Ceres of the State Grange.
White Bluff, Ga., Sept. 14, 1874.
Editors Herald and Georgian:
It is very gratifying to me to find that
the resolution I introduced at the Janua
ry meeting of the State Grange, known as
the “Calico Resolution,” and passed in
such complimentary terms, has excited
so much interest that a slight variation
in a portion of my dress, at the Co-opera
tive Feast on the 3d instant, in wearing a
cheap skirt of two summers’ use, was
noticed by some of my sisters. This, to
my mind, is conclusive proof that the
resolution has impressed the sisterhood,
and I trust is resulting in great good.
For the future, my sisters, I shall strive
to avoid even the appearance of a viola
tion of what I commended so earnestly
i to others. I will take occasion to say
just here, however, that the resolution
did not contemplate the discarding of
dresses already purchased—as there would
be no economy in that—but the quality
of goods to be bought for our own use in
the future.
In attending Grange meetings in vari
ous parts of the State, and adhering so
strictly to calico m my dress, many sis
ters have often apologized for not doing
the same. Sisters, let ns be in earnest
in economizing. The times demand it.
The depressed condition of our section
demand it. Yes, all the surroundings
demand it, and I intend- adhering strictly
to the resolution ;Jwearing only calico,
and using my little influence in making it
the leading dress among the Matrons in
Georgia. Sisters, our fall purchases are
near at hand. Let ns ndt be tempted to
deviate-in the least from the rule of econ
omy we have adopted. Remember our
distressed country, and make your pur
chases conform strictly to your necessi
ties. Let the world see and know that
we are what we profess—Matrons indeed,
and not unworthy co-laborers with our
boundaries He has assigned them.

STt CUT in
the waist, and very long *n the skirts, to
button three or even four buttons; plain
faclugs, and bound narrow or silk breast
facings and fiat braided for a smarter
coat. Waistcoat, single-breasted, with a
step-collar, to button medium high, if of
the same goods, or a double-breasted
white vest, showing above the turnover
of the coat lapel. In London it is now
quite tho style to wear rough fancy checked
cheviot trowsers, with a frock coat, but
here a quiet cheviot stripe or small chock
will be preferred. In morning coats the
principal change is to have them button
very high with short collar and small
lapel, worn three or four buttons but
toned, and moderately well cut away from
the lower button. Flaps on the hips are
not generally worn, if the garment be of
the finer goods. This coat is likely the
exception here, nnd will only be worn by
those who affect the extremely English
style of dressing.
For undress, business, and traveling
suits, checks, of which there is nn in
finite variety, in every shade and size,
will be the prevailing style, and made up
principally as reefing jackets or morning
coats, with pockets under flaps, and vests,
with no collar, to button high. Cheviots
are very much worn in Europe, and will
be very fashionable for entire suits or
trowsers. There is a decided inclination
to depart from the “dressy Btyle of
goods so long prevalent here, and before
another season comes around we shall
find our best dressed men wearing this
class of goods. They are now made in
veiy stylish patterns, and wiU improve
every season with the increased demand.
Xu overcoats tho frock or surtout will be
worn more than formerly, made to but
ton four buttons, and very long mi the
skirts. All coats are made longer tlian
last season. In trowsers there is little or
no change. They are still cut easy and
straight to the leg, rather loose from the
thigh down, and with no spring at the
bottoms. Side pockets are preferred.
Instructions to Postmasters RrouIiA
ting the
Envelopes. — „— , . „
It hiving come to the knowledge of the
Post Office that certain Postmasters have
engaged in the practice of canvassing
ouUde the deliveries of their respec
tive offices for the sale of postage stamps,
stamped envelopes, newspaper wrappers
and postal cards,with the object as nvewed
(a Postmaster’s salaryJ>eingbased upon
clearly divine as that which imparted to
them different natures.
‘The tendency of intimate social in
termixture is to amalgamation, contrary
to the law of races. The separation of
the white and black races upon the sur
face of the. globe is a fact equally ap
parent. Why this is so it is not necessa
ry to speculate; but the fact of a distribu
tion of men by race and color is as visi
ble in the providential arrangement of
the earth as that of heat and cold. The
natural separation of the races is, there
fore, an undeniable fact, and all social or
ganizations which lead to their amal
gamation are repugnant to the law of
nature. -
From social amalgamation it is bnt a-
step to illicit intercourse, and but another
to intermarriage. But to assert separate
ness is not to declare inferiority in either;
it is not to declare one a slave and the
other a freeman; that would be to draw
the illogical sequence of inferiority from
difference only. It is simply to say that,
following the order of Divine Providence,
human authority ought not to compel
these widely separate races to intermix.
The right of each to be free from social j
contact is as clear as to be free from in
termarriage.
“The former may be less repulsive as a.
condition, but not less entitled to pro
tection as a right. When, therefore, we
declare a right to maintain separate rela
tions as far as reasonably practicable, bub
in a spirit of kindness and charity, and
with due regard to equality of rights, it iff
not prejudice, nor caste, nor injustice of
any kind, but simply to suffer men to-
follow the law of races established by the
Creator himself, and not to compel them
to intermix contrary to their instincts.”
Horsewhipping a Prince.
We have had several instances of late
of the democratic tendencies of what we
have been pleased to regard as the aris
tocratic and “effete monarchies” of tho
Old World. The summary punishment
of the nephew of the Czar of Russia for
squandering his mother’s jewels upon a.
strolling actress is a case in point. A
recent incident which occurred at Dres
den, and which hitherto has appeared
only in the German papers, furnishes tt
still more striking illustration of the gen
eral fact. A son of the Grand Duke of
Oldenburg recently arrived at a railway
station in Dresden, to which a restaurant
is attached. His Highness entered the
room to get his lunch with the crowd,
and the idea of placing himself upon a
level with the common herd not comport
ing with his Princely dignity, he vaulted
upon the lunch counter and sat down
upou it, much to the disgust of the
common herd who were standing up.
A waiter requested him to sit
down, but His Serene Highness refused,
and ordered his lunch served. The waiter
engaged are the most “distinguished” in
their profession in this country. They
have great skill and daring, and are rich
and influential They sustain amicable
relations with the most prominent detec
tives in the country, and it was by the
co-operation of the latter that the mas
terly talent of the former was secured.
Indeed one of them, who had escaped ^ ^
from Sing Sing while serving out a ten I hereupon informed the proprietor of the
years’ sentence was pardoned by Gover
nor Dix at the special request of Attorney
General Williams, in order that his testi
mony might be used in the conviction of
men who had robbed the Treasury aud
counterfeited United States notes.
But in spite of this exposure, in spite
of the abolition of the District Govern
ment in order to root up the corruptions
antics of this extraordinary customer, who
was sitting on the place intended for the
provisions. The proprietor came round
in front and remonstrated with His High
ness, but in vain. He then ordered him
to get down or he would take him down.
His Highness notified the proprietor if he
gave him any more of his jaw he would
slap his face. The latter, not having the
and wrongs of Ring mismanagement aud fear Q f princes before his eyes, used his
robbery, these men are as serene and j aw a p the more vigorously, and His

Daring Stage Robreries in Arkansas.
—Little Rock, September 18.—Passengers
from Hot Springs who arrived hero to-
night report that about 0:30 p. m-y®ster- I peraTstedin dancing a hornpipe in the
1 between Malvern I F , have been hiuh trea-
coat-collar, and down came the House of
Oldenburg, pell-mell to the floor. Then
he went for the scion of tho Ducal house,
and gave him a first-class, old fashioned,
democratic pummeling, without regard
to pedigree, or previous condition, or
possible consequences. After the
drubbing had proceeded far enough for
immediate purposes of improvement, the
police were called in, who with some
difficulty rescued what was left of His
Highness in a condition which, to say the
least, was not favorable to his sitting
down upon lunch-counters. The punish
ment was sufficiently stem to prevent the
repetition of the indecorum. Time was

took the matter up and discussed it. He
had the good sense not to make any com
plaints abont the chastisement which had
been inflicted upon his hopeful, or to
write any diplomatic letters abont it. On
the other hand, he dispatched the Prince

ers. Let us by example and every influ
ence we can command he true to the ne
cessities of the times, making economy
our watch-word.
It is gratifying to me to hear from a
prominent Patron that the resolution in
question had saved him two hundred dol
lars at least. Suppose out of the large
number of Granges in Georgia every
family had saved as much in proportion
to the size of the same, what an immense
amount of money would have remained
iu the pockets of our husbands, brothers,
&c.
Our order, composed as it is of only
the tillers of the soil, producing cotton
as the monied staple crop, making its
consumption of momentous importance,
we should interest ourselves in lending
our influence in that direction. Our
adopting prints as our dress is not only
important in point of economy, but the
consumption of cotton is laudable, for
the price of all commodities much de
pends upon the consumption thereof. ■ So
the double advantage accomplished, my
sisters, will induce ns to adhere strictly
to the resolution in question.
Sisters, let the next meeting of the
State Grange, on the 3d Wednesday in
January, 1875, be long. remembered for
the display there made by our sisters in
calico. Yours fraternally,

The Northern Colored Element.—
Utica, H. Y., September 17.—A conven
tion of colored citizens commenced its
session here to-day. The committee on
resolutions reported a series declaring
that the present barbarities in the South
are due to a policy altogether too lenient
on the part of the Administration to
wards the ex-rebels of the South, in en
franchising self-disfranchised enemies of
the government to the disparagement of
loyal colored citizens; that wo disapprove
of the action of the President in pardon
ing convicted and imprisoned Kn-Klux,
who should have been hanged rather
than returned to former haunts to re
commit their hellish perpetrations on
their inoffensive fellow-citizens; that tho
defeat of the civil riglits bill in the
House of Representatives is due to the
conduct of treacherous Republicans,
and they deserve the ostracism of
both white and colored voters; that we
look to the Republican party for the pas
sage of an adequate civil right bill; that
we earnestly entreat the Republican par
ty not to renominate men who have pat
themselves on record against this bill, or
to nominate others of the same principle,
asserting that we will positively withhold
our support from the same; that those of
our race who refuse to grant civil rights
to their own color for fear of disapproval
of the white faction, deserve the severest
condemnation, and are a living disgrace
to the people with whom they are identi
fied; that we call upon the American
Government to repress the existing out
rages in the South, and protect colored
citizens in their natural rights, and any
thing short of that will be looked upon asa
failure to recognize the rights guaranteed
to ns by the Constitution of the United
States; that if the President requires our
services in tho present struggle of right
against wrong, and of weakness against
strength, we aro willing to tender them.
A Striking Contrast.—I am sorry that
so much trouble has been taken for my
reception, but it was the fault of the
committee, and not any fault of mine, as
all entertainment has been forced npon
me, and I have been mot at every town
of my visit with the same kindness, for
which I feel deeply grateful.—Grant's
Speech at New Bedford.
The Washington Capital thinks this is
a little hard on the Queen’s English; bnt
as the Queen has declined making son-in-
law Sartoris a nobleman, it serves her
right. . ,
How this burst of eloquence reminds
one of the simple yet striking utterances
of the colored divine in Richmond, Ya.,
when he said:
De fore part ob de church will please
Bit down so de hind part ob de church
can see de fore part, for de hind part
can’t see de fore part ef de fore part per
sist in standin’ fore de hind part to de
utter exclusion of de hind part by do fore
part—Macon Telegraph.
A Brooklyn Pastor Volunteering to
Step Down and Out.—The Rev. Joseph
Bradley Cleaver, pastor of the Sixth Ave
nue Baptist Church, Brooklyn, N. Y., has
tendered his resignation. In June lost
fifty-six charges were presented againt
him,- the gravest being that he drove a
fast horse—half brother of Robert Bon
ner's Dexter—on the Coney Island road,
every afternoon, sharing his spider-like
buggy with a beautiful young woman.
He demanded an investigation, and before
a committee of the church vindicated
himself, and the charges were dismissed

A Sensational Marriage.—Kev. Dr.
Bogle, of the Baptist Church at Cold
Spring, Long Island, was married on Sun
day to the widow of the late Bev. Mr.
Jackson, of Oyster Bay. The age of the
bride is said to be eighty-five, and of the
groom sixty-five. This is the third mar
riage of each of the parties. The bride
is very rich, nnd the groom has been a
preacher at $1,000 per annum. The con
gregation and people were equally sur
prised at the suddenness of the marriage.
A Singular Case of Hydrophobia.—
A singular case of hydrophobia is re
ported from Chicago. • Charles Haake, a
boy six years of age, was bitten on the'
hand by a cat abont four weeks ago. The
wound was so .slight that, the child did
not complain of it at all, bnt on Saturday
morning last he was taken with all the
symptoms of hydrophobia, and died be
fore night. The cat has never at any
time -exhibited any signs of madness, and
the physicians regard it as a most re-
markable case.
