No woman can complain that it ia im potwible togain information on any subject of which she wishes knoweledge if she is a reader of Demorest’* Monthly Magazine, We have come to this conclusion after look ing through the March number (just receiv rd) of this valuable pubiica'ion, tor not only does it contain in dter interesting to every member of the family, but the publisher en courages women of all classes to write for anv desired information, anti the "Corres pondence Club” certainly shows that they take advantage of this opportunity. It must require great research to answer the numer ous inquiries, and t is surprising what ques tions of general interest are asked. Everv woman should subscribt for this beautiful ami comprehensive Magazine— lieaulifiil on account of its artistic merit, comprehensive because it covets every sub. jevt in which women are inb-rested.

Deveaux, Dear f Sir : —ln my last letter you made i me Fay lhat the quadrennial and bo . called Republican are need In the District and State Conventions; it should have read thus, “Delegates should be sent untrammelled, Dis trict and State Conventions be com posed of good men, and not the quadrennial and 80-galled Republi , cans.” The time has come for action and nothing but united es- L forts can bring on a healthier poh't i ical standing in this State. As to a call for a District Convention to elect delegates to Chicago next June. I think it is wisdom that the delegates to the State Conven tion be informed to choose the dis trict delegates there, (in Atlanta) but 1 de not think it is wisdom nor safety f«»r the District Convention to meH one before the State Con vention, *o do their work, First, becaiwe that would give no time to acei'tHiu by cred-mtpds who are del eg lies to Ihe conventions. God lot bid, but should there be h contest ing delegation, one iionr will not be enough to hear the justice of the 1 claims, "eeond, suppose there are two or three strong candidates I before the meeting, it will take uioie than sixtx to decide upon a choice satisfactorily. Third, because ' that i- the hour that the delegates need to meet and greet each other and infbrmarally discuss the best mode of harmonizing tlio State Convention. Without being dic tatorial, I think the District Con vention, should it meet in Atlanta, . Ought to meat at least one day I before the State Convention, which would give all the time needed to Ide the work without injury to the farmers at this season of the year. J Then she will be free from intrud- I era and from the anxiety that in t vitea attention to a call of counties t for delegatee to the State Couven- Jtion. The difference in going a I day in advance may be the means >of harmonizing the actions of the J district. There is no man in the ■ first Congressional District oj Geor gia, desires to see it present a solid I hoot in all tlie conventions than I. | While 1 have my choice in Sherman land Conkling or Conkling and Sher ’ man loi President and Vice, 1 would ; rally to nnv good man brought out !by the Nallolt.il ton Vi-lit li »n, < h<we in otn mind t<>r delegati a a K hoge, R.’V \V J Whi •*.

Buck mid Cut t>un h Earley, Jr. Fmm the tit»H district we would suggest that one from the south and the other from tbe north end, but of men that have the ability to represent us in the national council. Finally brethren, let all things be done decently and in order. A. Wilson. COMMUNICATED. Mr. Editor, Dear Sir : —lt seems to be an unsolved problem, “how shall we go to the people this year.” If we go at all from the inertness of the county and, district leaders, up to this time, what shall we carry to them? Must we tell them that the love of office, the thirst for prominence in the past,the ambition to rule without a rival, the petty bickerings of over bearing leaders have drove our party from power. Or, shall we tell them that, they were neglected, that people was never consulted on pending issues, flint the party died for want of harmony and organization. Mr. ditor, shall the be frank, truthful and honest, and say that while they fought no party or 1 gai-iization was kept up. Enough for the past, with hope for the future, for it will not do to arouse their enthusiasm and make them thiist to retreve the lost distinction by telling of their humiliation that will not cause our people to exeit their energy toward making belter their present condition. The needs of a people aught to be clearly s< t before them with such light as will cause them seek means by which the defects of the p ist can be reme died, Dependency of future suc cess car. never enthuse or elate. Confidence in those whom we would we honor as standard bearers'“must exist. Else as Rev. C. T. Wakt-r before the convention at Macon, said the ignorance of the Negro which linger upon bun as one of the effec s of slavery, keeps us divided as a people. here are many causes for our pi esent divided and crippled condition. The most potent is that we at” not danish too ready to give our recogniti »u to the merits we find in ev. ry other race ar d to help land the acbeiveinents of their lea ders. Some of us go out side of our lines as far back as Julius Ceaser, while we are harping the tune of the victorious Roman leader as he marshalled his host upon the plains of Africa. The sheet music of Toussaint L’ Overture lies covered with dust of ages upon some secltid* ed shelve. Ought we not exert ourselves to rid the people of the fetters that binds them to the rel icks of slavery; whose accursed in stitution made them effect and for bids them from everlasting cutse. Let us go to the people telling them of the excellent traits of character of the Negio, his language of hearts io forgive past wrongs. Gather around our hearth our friends, point Out to them the achievements of Fied Douglass, how through his own efforts he aros • to culture and distinction. Let us gv to the peo ple telling them that each one cf us can do the s ine thing if we, as he would only be true to ourselves. To longer depend upon others for leadership is lent to remain tools in the hands of designing men, to be used hs stepping stones to their greatness, i’lie world look on with .vender to see if we as a people will prove ourselves worthy of the sacrifices made to crush out of existence the institution that threatens our ambition. The great queston that ought to concern us most is whether we will succeed as a people lead by men that grown up among us, or must we tor ever depend upon the tut Hedge of import ed culture. Are we capable of executing With as much deftness the adminis tration of affairs that has made the dominant race what they are in the world’s history, and if we are, how can we ever slu w it as long ns we trust to others and not depend upon ourselves. Mr. Editor, let the watch word of ths future be, self improvement, confidence in each other, unity of action, Hied with harmony in our ranks. We shall su ceed in spite of the Glenn Bill and Governor Gordon’s acknowledgement H Ohio that he wus a member of an oath I biHind society tor the suppression lot Negtoes. for it Gen. Jackson ' c .ii at lhi« late da\, ugaiiist ,-n It odds hope vet tor the su ce-s <d tito pi'iiH ipk> upon which D'Vta to tg il lot u«ui the principles witch Lin- coln fought for. Llow much the more ought we to struggle for suc cess against all the tendency which seeks to enthral us as a people. Yours Truly, W. H. Matthews. TO THE PEOPLE. As I have been appointed V ice j President of the Agricultiual Asso-i elation of Georgia, for the first ’ Congressional District; I deem it |' ray duty to call vour attention to , the importance of giving that enter , prise its necessary encouragement. As a large majority of our people • are laborers and must depend upon j that for a living, it is certainly their duty to learn all they can as to how t this may be carried on to the i est advantage. Those who have had - superior advantages io us, have ( found it profitable to meet and counsel together. The farmer, me- ■ chanics, manufacturers and in short every producer including the cook with her food and the mother with her babies, should come together and make a comparison. I there fore urge the citizens of every coun ty to organize as boou as possible, an association in their respective counties, and to invite all the infor mation you can get upon the sub ject.
