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. The Augusta Markets, WEEKLY REVIEW.

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.
