Referring to the recent dismissal of the
charges against the Mayor and Council of
Savannah, tho News says, “While we are
subjected to the survcilance of a military
despotism, we have reason to be thankful
that we have fallen under the rule of gen
tlemen who are not inoapable of doing
justice.”
Taste.
If the Radicals pat np a man who can
take the test oath, and who will use his
official position to still further degrade his
countrymen, let him be opposed by the
blackest, and most brutally offensive negro
that can be induced to stand against him.
—Journal <s• Messenger.
Nothing coaid show more conclusively
the animus of the Obstructionist organ
quoted. It s purely, however, a matter of
taste.
Libel.
Tho cry of “Negro supremacy” is the
most infamous, and at the same time, most
stupid libel upon the White Men of the
country, that can possibly be raised.
White man! are you afraid of the
Negroes becoming the superior of your
race ? Four millions of beings just emerged
from the degradation of bondage—with,
out wealth, prestige, education, or any
other source of power—to rule over thirty
three millions of whites, owning all the
soil, in possession of all the wealth, trained
intellect, and power in the country ! How
ridiculous—nay, how wicked!
If you have the slightest self-respect,
abandon the faction of Obstructionists,
whose leaders would flatter you into dis
gracing yourself and acting against your
own best interests. When a man talks to
you about “Negro supremacy,” put him
down either an egregrious ass or a
scheming demagogue—he is either the one
or the other.
“I'rizsliujr.”
The other evening a friend, who had a
seat in the best part of a first-class place of
amusement, had his attention direoted to a
peculiar head of hair immediately in his
front. His first impression was that the
lady to whom it belonged was a quadroon,
or an ootoroon at least. He then looked
at her escort, a stylish, well-dressed, com
fortable-looking gentleman, and made up
his mind that the latter did not belong to
. the class of reformers who act as pioneers
in the introduction of social innovations,
■riiw may Boon turning her face directly
around, he saw that sbe was in all proba
bility of pure Caucassian blood, and had
simply carried the fashion of “frizzling” to
an extreme. Being of a philosophic turn
of mind, however, he began to think over
the meaning of this last prank of fashion.
What does it mean 7
Dieting.
It is a curious fact, that while seasons or
destitution and distress tend to lower the
number of births and marriages in a com
munity, they also lower the death-rate.
The statistics of the British Registrar
General show that there were fewer births
by 2,400 than in the corresponding quarter
of 1866; while the deaths were 4,058 more
in 1866, when there was no distress. The
same statistics hold good of marriages.
And this is confirmatory of facts observed,
but hardly credited, during the famine
produced by scarcity of cotton and em
ployment in England, showing that a
period of privation is less fatal to life
than a period of indulgence. Dieting
seems to be good tor masses as well as in
dividuals.
“Quo 'Warranto,”
As this term is now employed to express
a part of the news from Washington, in
regard to the Secretary of War, and as
many persons may not know its significa
tion, we quote the following from a reliable
law Dictionary:
“ Quo Warranto, the name of a writ
issued in the name of a government against
any person or corporation that usurps any
franchise or office—commanding'the Sheriff
of tho county to summon the defendant to
be and appear before the court whence the
writ was issused, at a time and place there
in named, to show by what authority he
claims the franchise or office, mentioned in
the writ.”
Threats.
A single threat of politieal assassination
would amount to nothing in such a coun
try as ours. But if the threat were re
peated a sufficient number of times to cer
tain classes of our population, it might
educate them down to a political dogma
so pernicious and dangerous. Thoughtful
citizens of both parties can not but be
pained, therefore, at the frequency with
which the La Crosse Democrat , a paper
which is said to have the largest circula
tion ot any Democratic weekly in the
country, reiterates and emphasizes what
seems to be one of its cardinal maxims.
In its issue of a recent date, the Democrat
observes that “the Radicals fear Grant
will be assassinated,” and adds: “ So he
will he, if he is elected President, and it
would not do the country the least harm."
This is the utterance of an influential and
representative Democratic newspaper. The
party which retains journals of such Sa
tanic character in full communion must bo
responsible for the results of. their teach
ings. Let the fact everywhere be known,
Tlie editor of the La Crosse Democrat
has been invited to visit Augusta, by one of
the Democratic clubs.

Phillips’ Provision Exchange.
Cincinnati, Feb. 28,1868.
Our provision market during the past week
bas been excited, and prices of all articles have
advanced again. The orders from the South
being large, owing, in part, to the advance of
Cotton, and a general better feeling of confidence
in the ability of merchants, factors and planters
to pay for what they order. The demand for
Bacon has been large and buyers not being able
to supply their wants on the spot, have been
obliged to take it to come out of smoke, up to
as late as April Ist, and about all that can be
smoked between this and that time has boen
sold. The market oioses very firm for all
articles and the tendency of prices upward.
HOGS—The total packing of the season from
November Ist proves to be 366,481. There was
about 30,000 Hogs cut in October, most of the
product of wbich went into the Tanks.
MESS POKK has ruled rather firm most of
the week, but at tho close was weaker, with
more sellers than buyers, at $24.75, and in some
cases 25c. less would be accepted. Country Mess
25c. lower.
RUMPS havo changed but little, SIS being
tho ruling price for fair; while extra will bring
$1 per barrel more, and inferior $1 to $2 less.
LARD has further advanced, but closes easier
at 15jc for choice City Kettled, and Jc less for
Country. Prime Steam would sell at 15 to 15Jc,
according to ingredients. Keg Lard 18}e.
GREASES firm and in good demand, at 10 to
110 for the range of grades.
BULK 51EATS, owing to tho large demand
for Bacon, have been in good demand, and large
sales have been mado, both to tho sinokerß and
shippers, at advanced prices. I quote at the
close, Shoulders, Rib Sides, C. R. and Clear
Sides, loose, 10, 12, 122, and 131, with free huy
01s, and generally held i higher. Plain Hams,
13i packed; Sweet Pickled Hams held at 15.
BACON is active, especially for clear ribbed
sides, aud 2,500 hhds. have sold for present and
future delivery, on Eastern and Southern orders,
at 14 to 1-1 Jc. Clear are held at 15c., with free
buyers at J less. Rib in lighter demand, aud at
proportionally lower prices—say 13J to 13|.
Shoulders hold at llj, fair demand at i less.
Plain Hams are held at 15 to 15&c., and sugar
cured 16J to 180., canvassed and packed.
PLATE BEEF scarce, at $22 to $22.50.
