assigned him by Judge Levy, and we <

Don't Like It. .
The carpet-bag editor of the Sa

look of the “female with a star- *
spanglcd-banner petticoat” that graces
our editorial column. We esteem the
device very pretty and appropriate,
and the motto underneath quite ex- :
pressive of the principles tre advocate. 1
If we were asked to suggest a device
for the A’l/r*', we would recommend ,
a demijohn as the most appropriate
and the motto: More Whiskey.

THE CONQUERED ROOSTER.
A PARODY ON TDK “( ONQIERED BANNER.’’
Coop that rooster, for lie’s weary !
And Ids liead is drooping, dreary!
Coop him, hide him, it is best;
For there’s not a chick to fear him,
And there's not a lien to cheer him,
And there is no egg laid near him,
Scorned by those who did revere him,
Hide him -coop him—let him rest.
Take that rooster off; lie’s tattered,
All his feathers widely scattered,
And iiis bill is broken—battered,
By tlie strong arm of the foe.
Oh ’ ’tis hard you thus should hide him,
Ye who late so fondiy eyed him,
Hard to stand forlorn beside him,
Now that lie no more can crow.
Coop that rooster—coop him sadly,
< bice five thousand backed him gladly.
And live thousand, wildly, mildly,
Swore lie should forever crow.
Swore tliat Pillsbury' slwuld never
His triumphant windpipes sever,
And that lie should fight forever,
But lie now' is lying low.
Oh ! ids comb is cut and bloody,
And his legs are bruised and muddy,
And lus breast with blood is ruddy.
And his gills arc darkly blue.'
Empty craw and bursted gizzard,
'fail and wings completely scissored,
Felled at one destructive blizzard,
Routed, skinned from A to izzard,
O. poor cock-a-doodle-do.

1. N. Circuit Court.
On Friday last, the suit of .John
Garsett vs. Thomas S. Metcalf,
Jeremiah Beall andW.M. A. Beall,
on demurrer, was commenced in the
United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District of Georgia, in Sa
vannah, before Hon. John Erskine,
presiding.
This very complicated ease was
removed from the Superior Court of
this (Richmond) county, under pro
visions of an act of Congress, to the
Circuit Court. The Savannah Adver
tiser, of yesterday, briefly states the
leading points in the case as follows:
In June. 1865, Garrett made a contrail
with the other parties to this suit, by which
tlsey agreed to sell him 7,994 bales of cotton,
at twenty-three cents per pound, according
to weights; lie having the right to accept or
reject the proposition before the 6th of July.
They refused to comply with these teams of
tlie contract, when lie calls in aid the power
of the military to get possession of tlie cot
ton. Other parties appeal to the Courts to
prevent tlie seizure of the cotton, and tlie
suit being transferred to tlie U. 8. Circuit
Court, defendant seeks, in equity, the spe
cific performance of the contract on the part
of the plaintiffs.
The Advertiser states that the argu
ments had on Friday “were on de
"murrer—involving the point whether
defendant, being brought into Court
by the other parties, could, by change
of form, as it were, seek specific per
formance of alleged contract on their
part. Pending the arguments of lion.
IJ. IL Hill, Court adjourned” to yes
terday morning.
General IL Toomks, lion A. IL
S i El’ll ens, Assistant Attorney General
Ashton, Hou. Linton Si ei-uens, and
Messrs. Johnson anti Montgomery,
are attorneys for Gaiis-Ect; H. H.

Time Enough.—-All classes of news
papers and politicians are suggesting
the names of more or less distinguish
ed persons for seats in Gen. Grant’s
Cabinet. All this is premature, and,
to a certaiu extent, impert'ment. We
have confidence in the President’s
knowledge of men,and in his integrity
and ]iatriotism, and wo have no doubt
he will select a Cabinet in whom he
has confidence. Tliat will suit.

Death of an Old Citizen. —One
by one the old residents of LaGrange
are dropping off. We have now to
announce the death of Mr. Jacob J.
Owen, which occurred on Sunday last,
in the 56th year of his age. He has
lived in J/aGrange since 1838, a quiet,
unobtrusive, law-abiding citizen, an
honest and industrious man, a faithful
and fond husband. To his bereaved
family Ave extend our heartfelt condo
lence. Tlie remains of the deceased
were committed to the grave on Mon
day morning, Rev. Mr. George, Rec
tor of St. Mark’s Church, reading the
service for the burial of the dead set
i forth by the Episcopal Church, accord

Panniers and the Grecian Bend
The fullness given to the dress be
hind compels the adoption of a some
what larger hooped skirt than lias been
worn for some time past, but they can
never reach the exaggerated dimen
sions again tliat have made them ridic
ulous in times past. Within two
years they have been worn in all sizes;
front, one yard and three-quarters at
the base to three yards and a half
round, and, no, no recognized standard
having obtained, the demand lias varied
with every floating rumor of fashion,
and every whim of the moment, until
dealers neither knew what to buy, nor
ladies what to wear. The new styles
issued for the present and the coming
season will, it is believed, remedy the
difficulty- The golden mean seems to
have been found at last, and the shape
is, as adjusted by leading manufactur
ers, that the front of the skirt remains
flat, while a graceful sweep and a ten
dency to expansion is given to the
back.
The lowest authorized size for ordi
nary wear is two and a half yards
round at the base. This is very mod
erate, and sirited to walking dresses.
The next size is tw o and three-quarters
round, and the third three yards. This
last is not too large for a very tall lady
for street wear.
These sizes may lie considered
standard, -V very short person, re
quiring a still smaller and shorter
hooped skirt than the two and a half
yards, should inquire for the largest
misses’ sizes.
But what of the latest atrocity in
fashion, the abominable panniers.'
The only place as yet where they have
flourished undisguised and without re
straint is Saratoga. Are they to re
appear in all their hideous deformity
during the coming fashionable season
in New York ? Vor the honor of our
sex we hope not. If women were
really the mere puppets which society
endeavors to make them, wo should
have no objection to see them ren
dered deformed, grotesque, or redicu-
lons, any more than wc should to 1
witness the vagaries of a Punch and 1
Judy stIOAV. «
But to sec real Avomon—Avoinen of J
flesh, and. blood, and heart, and brain,
lend themselves to such aping of ‘
horrible deforinity, is worse than !
saddening—it makes one fear for
them a dreadful retribution—unnatu- '
rally born children, for instance, a
nation in the future of wretched
humpbacks and crooked monsters.
We have no disposition to speak of
the machinery’ by which this shame- '
ful apparent excrescence is produced. ‘
There are pannier hooped skirts com- 1
plcte in themselves, but, as a general j
rule, the pan nier “ bustle” is detached '
and can be worn or removed at 1
pleasure. Os course the form of the '
pannier must be perfected under
neath the dress and other skirts, ol’ '
the fullness in mere textile fabrics
would collapse, and the stylish hump
bo entirely lost.
A more fitting accompynimont to
the donkey nier could not be found
than the “Grecian bend,” or the “colic
stoop,” as it is more properly called,
:md the mincing step, noAV affected by
society young ladies. Such absolute
silliness is not worth talking seriously
about, and should not be considered as
reflecting discredit upon women gen
erally, any more than the drawl of the
dandy should serve as conclusive evi
dence that the male sex arc destitute
of brains. Still, avc must confess that
avc ncA er see the fashionable bump,
and bend, and stop, Avithout wishing
that Ave could avail ourselves of an
old-fashioned privilege, and give the
exhibitor of these doubtful airs and
graces a go<xl spanking.
There arc addlc-headod young men,
generally very young men, who, if it
were fashionable for ladies to Avear
steeples on their heads, Avonld delight
edly folloAA’ in the train of the tallest
steeple; but do not think from this,
girls, that men admire absurdities in
aa omen. There is not a man, with the
smallest grain of common sense, who
does not laugh at affectations and
falsities, and set them down to general
Aveakncss and silliness on the part of
the whole female sex.

A Romance in Real Life.
Several years ugo a young lady in
Tazewell county was wooed by a
young wan. He obtained her consent
and the consent of the old folks, but
three days before Ute wedding she
took a freak into her head and went
off’ anti married another man. TThj
young man was henrt-broken, and
packed up his effects and went to New
York city. There he hid his grief,
buried himself in business, and en
gaged in speculation, was successful,
and became wealthy. A younger sis
ter of the girl that had jilted him,
moved by synq>athy, commenced a cor
respondence with him to endeavor to
mitigate his sorrow. The correspon
dence became interesting. Tlie young
girl greiy up, and as years rolled on,
ripened into a great beauty. The
sight of her photograph awakened in
the young man’s bosom the love that
he had sujtposed crushed forever, and
he proposed to her and was accepted.
Iler father was a widower, and was
anxious to get married himself as soon
as his daughter was out of the way, so
he urged the match forward. The
means of the lover now admitted a
brilliant wedding, and preparations
were made for it. They w ere to be
married last Wednesday in style, and
depart immediately for New York
city.
A few days ago tlie expectant bride
received a letter from her betrothed
stating that he had entered into a
speculation that would keep him in the
city so he could not possibly be
with her at the time appointed,’and
asking her to delay the ceremony for
a day or two. lie also referred to the
time when ho had expected to bo
united to her sister. Provoked to
think that he still remembered his
former love, the young lady wrote him
in a passion, and sitting down at the
same time wrote to a cousin of hers, a
farmer in lowa, who had long loved
her, telling him she had broken her
engagement, relating the circum
stances to him, and ending by saying
that she was all ready to be married,
and if he would come and lit- there at
the time set for her wedding she
would marry him. He complied. Her
betrothed in New York, astonished to
receive her letter, closed up his busi
ness as best he could, and came to
Tazewell county by the next train.
He reached the little village where
she resided, and was hastening
up to the house to fulfil his en
gagement, when he was met by some
of his friends and told that his bride
had just been married to another
man. He fainted away on the spot,
and was taken up to the hotel. When
the bride was told of it she was over
whelmed with remorse, but it was
then too late. She was legally mar
ried to her cousin. The New Y orker,
twice heart-broken, left for his home
without seeing her, ami she passed
through this city yesterday, on her
way to an lowa farm, looking very
dejected and like anything but a
bride.
