It is now demonstrated that the drat fair of the North Georgia Fair and 8-ock association will not only be a eoc enes, but a phenomenal success. No fair ever contemplated in Georgia had aneb a flattering prospect. The exhibition wi'l be the b*st ever made in the south. Demand, f jr space are be ing made from all quarters. Agents ol the association are.traveling through the west making arrangements for stock and machinery exhibition. The mili tary display will be the largest ever seen in a eon-hern state in tim, ol p-ace, and ermpanies will come from Bet jn, New York, Chicago, 8- Louie, Baltimore, Rmhmond, and varions other cities. The races will be first-claw in every respect, the parses being large enough to attract the beat bones. Aa for the crowd, that will be some- thing beyond comparison.

Every bing ie moving bar- moniutuly and with enthusiasm. Every man in north Georgia ia determined to show the world what we cut do whan we are put on our metal. Aa for the secretary, it ia lair to eay that the United Stales will not fnrniah bn superior. The wisdom ol tha boaid eriing him baa been over and over again demonstrated, even in the few weeks of preparation that haveehpsed since his election. He baa already given the fair an impulse that no living man could have equalled, and be aeem, u gel better and better as the work wide, a and the reeponeibilitiee thicken. Af cr several hours spent in the secretary's office, overlooking the mail, etc., we predict that the lair ol 78 will be the moat brilliant and positive euccee, ever scored in Georgia Now stick a pin there I of the slander, and misrepre- rentatioo, and abase that have been heaped ouon him ia steadily gninirg every day, and they wculd be willing lor the election to come eff to- morrow. The cimpaign ol ’base that haa been inaugurated by Dr. Feltoo and hia friends is not the winning card. The people of the eevenib district have knows Judge L; ter all his life. They know he ia a pare man and they will vindicate at the polls the imputations that have been made against hie good name, and ‘be charges that have been made against his personal honor. When Dr. Felton reinwe to meet Judge Leeter on the atniup he admits hia inferiority as debater, and when be brings un founded charges rg itnst the democratic nominee he confesses that he can make no argument against him.

Need we say that there is not a shadow of foundation for any such rntnora or assertions? The gentleman who have the Atlanta fair in charg>, and who pn ptae to make it the most conspicuously successful fair hold since the war, are actuated by no feeling ol opposition to the 8tate fair, and they will engage in no competion that wtli not, in the end, materially aid b ilh exhibitions. We trust the Slate fair will be a success, and we propose to do all in our power to secure that result There ia room for laudable competi ti.m between the two •xhibitions, bn: not room for oppneiiioo. OOV CbLQVtTT AT CHaVTaLQCA From all recounts, both private sad published, the reception end speech ol our governor at Chautauqua last Tbura day, were notable events. The local Jmitral which gives m extenso the pro needing- of the day, speak- eothuaiasti- cally of what occurred. It says: * Ot three icronoda two years ago we bad the privilege of extending a recepllot to President Grant, at which lime lb* ramp wse illuminated and ablaze with fl .gs and alive with the greatest crow, of people which had evet assembled it Chautauqua county. A reception tq'tally cordial and hearty greeted Gov. Oo.quitt yesterday. Tha crowd of people was not to large a* when the president was with us, bm we had from tha g rernor one of th> most appropriate and atirriig .-petchn ever delivered upon these grounds. W. do not believe that even in bis ow: sonny south, he ever received in an; pl> ce, cr on any occasion, a more cor dial greet.ng than saluted him jcatei day. The cheen thundered forth, acc rote and fell like the rising and falling ol bilkiwa; and Iho white handkerchief flo’ered to the air, again aid again ti ick aa the leave* ol autumn.” Ilia ia certainly high praise, but we think the rtader, alter perusing th. governor’s remarks, wiil agree with ui thatit isnolvxiravtganl Wetakethi. occasion to aay, what we have lory thought, that of all the men in efficial station in the wide extent of our land, it would be difficult to name on. who leads Governor Colquitt in wise aod influential methods for impressing the public m.nd in behalf of pe.ee, and practice Mjt for building np the beet intervals ol the country. Ha public utterances pn several recent oocrsionr. elsewhere D.d it ever occur to the averagt greenbacker tb it even if he should suc ceed in otgan zitg a new party by di viding the democracy that none of the sweeping reforms be proposes could be accomplished wiring the next three years? Until after the presidential election in 1880, greenback legislation at all radical in its character wonli be promptly vetoed by the de Iscio ex ecotivA The greenback doctrine cm only succeed through the success of the democratic party. Tbe moat vital financial iaanes have recently been made a part oi tbe democratic platform aod it ia only through the democrats that tbe prriidential veto can be an nulled and made ineffectual. Green, back lecislation will have to be grad nal. The first movement of anv im portance, apart fn m the repeal of tl o resumption ect, which is known aa John Hiierman’s contnction m chine, is that which contemplates the cr:|ip:ing of the consolidated money power repreeented by the nations; banka. This can only be done by dis establishing them—by substituting greenbacks for national bank notes That is the first step. It is the issue before cotg.eas, in comparison to wnich o her financial issues are inaig -dficsuL It ia a movement that not only looks to economy, bnt propo-estto break down and render inoccuou' a very powerful money mom poly. Until this issue is decided in iavor oi ibe peopl;, as it will be, unless tbe enthusiasm of tbe green bickers prom t them to wander ofi like Judge Pittman in search tue ignite fatnua of fiat money, the gates to financial reform fill be cloeed. It will be no great hardship ■o the banka to be thus shorn of their currency, for, under carelnfly regulated state laws, they can be organised into state banks and thus become far mote service ble to the people than they ere now. But nothing of this kind can be effected if the enthusiasm or the desire for office among the leading greenback men shoo’d impel them to make a fn tile attempt to organize a new parly. Such an organiaatiop would not outlive the certain defeat of its letdere, but might result mdeferringtoan indefinite period the reform in rnr finances that should be brought al out at the ot xt session of congress. Tat (ANTAWS IN TUK FIRST. The campaign in tbe firat district is becoming very interesting. Col. J bn 0. Nichols has developed s strong f .1- lowirg in tbe lower end of tbe district, but perils ps not enoogb to secure tbe nomlnsticn He will st -east be strong man in ihe convention. He will have to contend with Judge Tompk’ne and Col. George R. B sek, two strong, v gdant yonng me i, who are well up in the politics .1 their district. It is therefore more than probable that the convention ot the firat dis’rict wiil re semble the Columbus convention. In this event we hope the delegate; trill unanimously insist on turning Colonel Hartridge, not withstanding his expressed deeite to withdraw Irom coigrees. Col. Ha.-t ridge is wilhont doubt one of tbe lead ing members of tbe present congi He has done much to raise the sutndsrd of southern congressmen in tbe estims lion of the whole country. It must be admitted that for several years sftei the war we were not very proud of the das* of meu wbo represented us it congrv is; but Col. Hartridge and othei members of toe present congress hsvt shown that they are the peers of any congressman. He is, therefore, sei- vicesnle not alone to the district,but tt tbe who e state. Rs her than hav- any dbaeusicn over ihe ncminaticc we hope the democrats of the first dis trie wd! give the s ate tbe trained aer vices of Col Hartridge. TBE CONFEDtRATM TREASURY NOTES The treasury notes of the confedera cy were in one respect fist notes. The fiat oi the confederacy was at their back; they rested solely “on the faith and resources” oi the people. They were issued, as were the assignats, and aa ail flat money ever has been and aver will be, according to the needs, real and fancied, of the government, instead oi the wants of trade. The old result followed. Tbe following record, prepared by a firm of Mobile bankers, shows the amou at of confederate money required on the 1st, 10-h, and 20 h oi each month to purchase (100 in gold or its eqaivalent in goods: worth their while to consider Greece’s ims to a slice oi territory. True, they advised the pone to give its con sent to a rectification of the Grecian frontier; bnt having gathered in all that they could reach, they may not trouble themselves over tbe demands oi the poor little kingdom that King O-ho governs. bsrvia and Montenegro find that they cannot occupy their new territories without war; the Ross’ana have a seri ous insurrection on their hands in the Rxodope mountains, and Turkey now declares that she cannot inaugurate, much less carry out, the reforms of the Berlin treaty, because she is moneyless. 8hs therefore proposes to stultify -hat d content. And the Russian indemnity ia suspended by a thread that Rossis may sever at any moment in feet, d'd the treaty of Berlin settle anything? TI1K ADMIX IS 111 A t lOH AND MEXICO. The course of the administration to wards President Ditz’a model republic ■a not considered reassuring by those *ho think that we should let cattle thieves and miscellaneous robbers from Mexico overran tbe counties of Texas without obj action. The administxa- tion's fi st raiding order, issued iu June 1877, authorized tbe creasing ol the boundary line of the army on hot tisiis July, bbortly afterwards Gen. Ora was privately authorized to pursue robbers cn cold trails or no trails at all his discretion. Colonel Mac sen z.e recently crossed the river, seized .he little village of Villa Nueva, search td it for the notorious cattle thief, Ar e*la, and filling to find him, brought -cross the river the alcade of the little town, who was however scarcely prisoner. Ue was permitted to return, although it is well known that he has ong been a protector of Areola, who is the terror of the border. It is plan ihai Gen. Ord considers himself free to croos the river whenever and wherever ees fit, and he is not neglec.ing his opportunities. Every raid by the greas ers ia followed up by an invasion oi Mexico under the leadership of the dauntless Mackenzie. The latter does .rot go with a mere handful of troops He takes along the best artillery, caval* ry and infantry in Geo. Ord’e command, aod is prepared to encounter at least five thousand greasers. How long this state of things can go on without a declaration of war de pends upon the action of Diaz. If he quietly submits to an invasion of his territory by our troops, there will be no war; but as each successive pursuit of cattle raideis is to be more aggressive, Diaz may be compelled by bis people to jffer resistance. At present he seems disposed to maintain amicable relations with this government and with the robbers also; but this plan will not prove satisfactory to either republic in ihe loig run. These sorties most in eviubay lead to war, and war with Mex co means an at quisition ol -he cfl~ndii‘g provinces. The new ine would doubtless be drawn westward fn m he month of the Kio- irande, transferring to this country the itwtss of Ctiihnahua, Cjahuila, Nueva L?on, Siitora, Datango and California -all states capable oi great mineral or agricultural development. 8uch a re- salt would settle the Rio Grande ditfi •mlties, and perhaps lift the pressure of public condemnation from the admin- • dtraiion for a season; bnt would not he Areolas and Cortinaa of Mexico istabliah a reign of terror along a aew border 7 November 201_ Deoember i«t.

Mathews, of Oglethorpe onoty, which occurred lust Friday at While Su’.pimr Springs. Colonel Math* ows had been sick for some week*, bui tiia die* ate finally developed into cnteiLflimmation of tha bowels, and resulted in his death. His remains pass ed through tbe dty yesterday and will ue interred at Lsxington to-day. Colonel James Da vant Mathews was one of the most prominent of the pub~ tic men of Geoig**. He was bern in Elbeu county in 1&13, and graduated at Mercer university in 1863 After he gratnated at Mercer, Colone< dathews taught school fm several years. Ue abandoned tl. i i pro- leesion for the law, however, and Bind iod under Judge Francis H. Cone. He wsk *< milted to tbe bar in Greeniboro in 1858, after which he located in L : ugton, where he lived np to the time of bis death. In 1861 he organiztd a military company in Oglethorpe conn y, and was made captain—the comj a • y afterwards becoming a part of the thirty-eighth Georgia regiment. In he organization of tbe regiment he was elected mrj^r,and while serving in this capacity, was severely woneded At the battle of Cold Hajbor in Jane, 1862. The character of this wound was such that it incapacitated him from further active service, albeit he was in 1863 promoted and commission d colonel of the regiment. He was one of the leading lawyers of his section ot rhe state, and bad a large practice. Hi* oratorical gifts were something excep tional. We have heard that Judge L. E. Bleckley, of the supreme court, pro uounced the spetc 1 * of Colonel Math ews, in the Saddler case, carried up from Hart connty, the best he ever heard delivered in the supreme court. He was a member of the 1< gislature irrm Oglethcrpe county frtm 1863 *c 1865, and was a prominent man in thai oody. He was able and eloquent in his dtfei.ee of the confederate govern ment at a time when it needed brave •nd fearless friends, and no one knev better how to show his contempt fo; aer ent mies than this gallant son, wh« had perilled his life in the field, anc »ho was ever ready to stake all tha* was left ot his shattered form to defea • heir encroach ments. After the war wbea Geoigia called her wieest mex oge'her to fume an organic law ii 1S65, CoL Mathews was sent as a del g» T e from tbe county of Ogletho'pt In that convention he rarktd as one o is prominent feeders and ablest de haters. He was one of tbe committee of fin appointed by that convention to memo r’Ai.ze the president of the United S ales to pardon J.ffcrson Davis, and •;her distinguished cor ft derates, wh< *ad teen prescribed, and this too at a ime who; but few dared to utter a word of sympathy in behalf of Mr. D*vis It will never be forgotten by hose who heard CoL Mathews, whe ue areas in that convention, and with intrepid heart, lofty patriotism, fexiles, ni el< quent words, won all hearts t- he imprisoned chieftain Georgia fel tlet there was still some freedom o peech left amongst her people.

After Gen, Tnis temble depreciation in the pur chasing power of the treasury noteswa* he result 6f two things—an issuance dependent upon the varying fortunes of a people, and one beyond the real requirements of business. No less that $973,000,000 of nonricterest •bearing note-* were at one time in circulation. This amount was reduced by turning three dollars of tbe first issues into two of a new issue; but on the first of Oc tober, 1864, there weie $608,000,000 treasure notes outstanding, besides $99,954,000 of 730 notes, and abou $100,000,000 of call certificate:?. It is doubtful whether any later state ment of the currency issues of the confederacy can be found. It however known that the volume of the currency was considerably increased daring tae remaining months of its existence, and it is safe to say that on the tenth day of April, 1865—the date of the last quotation iu the foregoing table—there were one thousand mil lions ol currency in circulation in-the then limited territory of the confeder acy. The purchasing power of this vast amount of currency, dependent soiely upon the laith and resources of the people, went of course up or down as ihe fortune?? of war dictated. So it would be with the proposed fUt money of the greenbackera. If the U ailed States of America should put oat a similar amount of money based on the faith and resources even of forty millions of people, what would be its purchasing power in case we became involved iu a w*r with a power as weak even as Mexico ? A war with Mexico is an exceedingly probable event; a war with Great Britain is never outside the range of probability. In either event our fiat m ney w-uld begin to dance up and down a scale similar to the one that the Mobile bankers have presented with. In some respects the treasury notes of the confederacy were not foil fledged fiu notes so to speak. They were not legal tenders, and they carried a promise of contingent redemp tion. Our fiat lunatics demand s cur rency that shall supplant greenbacks aud all other kinds oi currency, tha* shall be a lull and absolute legal ten der receivable lor all dues, public and private, without either the pr<>m : se the prosp: ct of redemption of any kind. aud in exet-ss of the wants of trsd<* about three fold. This iu the height the currency cn-za. History fails supply a p .rallel, and it ia safe to say that the common sense of the American people will prevent the rbsnrd tcheme from getting bsyord its chrysalis state. A TEA AT Y WITHOUT PEACE. Six weeks have elapsed since the Berlin treaty was signed, and neither the government nor the people cf Tore key show any s ; gns of ret peeling its terms. The porte is clearly a silent partner in the Bosnian insurrection, for Tuikish regulars were permitted join by battalions the insurgents. Tbe Austrians succeeded in capturing, on Monday last, 8er»jevo, the crpital Bosnia and a city of 60,000 people, bat this success by jjo means completes the «u’ jugation—lor that is right word—of the province. The Austrians have cautiously ad< vanced with an overwhelming foice they have forced back and defeated the nrgan.zed insuigents; bat the most difficult work of tbe army of occnparion is to come. The ifisnigents will now wage a guerrilla war among the moun tains. The people are warlike, and the country is of a mountainous nature, war of races and religions is now before Austria and the remainder of Europe The Servians and Montenegrins arc secretly aiding the Bosnians. It is f&ct an attempt by the Servian Pxn-Slavists to resist an an nexation that is inconsHten with their scheme of an ultimate unioi under the, czar. The mountain passe? in the province are therefore filled with Christians and Turks who are fighting side by side against Austria! occupation. The Turks are the deecen Jants of Slavs, whose forefathe changed tht*ir religion to save their property. Of the population 431.000 are members of tbe Greek church. 418, 000 axe Mohammedons and 192,009 Catholics. Ne ther he Greeks nor the Turks deaire union with a Catholic state. B ee and religion are ihtre fore at the bottom of the strangle, and it will doubtless require greai skill, considerable bloodshed and months of time to earn into full effect the provisions of th< Berlin treaty subjecting the two Sc la vie provinces to the rule cf the house Hapaburg.

Per kins, one of the dty physicians, was summoned to the assistance of the wounded man. The aegro was removed to his residence on Peach* tree street. While at tbe station house learned from him the manner in which he orived the wounds from which he to suffering The negro says that he went down to Columbus about two weeks*go on an excursion tx*!n tost was returning to that dty from Atlanta. Hs remain*, d ihvre several days after which he started on his way returning on foot. He accomplished toe jour ney by walking during the day and sleeping at sight Friday utgbl he coLduded to ktep on walking, so as to get heme as early as possible Saturday morel ng While measuring IhecrofS ties near Rid Oak station, a few hours before dsyligit yesterday miming, ho waa HALTED BY TUBES V HITE MEN, who asked him wheie he was gting. The negro answered by saring that be was on hia way to Atlanta. The nun then asked him irbai n was that be carried in bis hand, and started to tase a carpet bag onto! tbe nearo’s hind. Tne negro protested, and tearing loose from toe men menced running at his best speed and crying for nelp at the top of hia voice. The negro says that while he was running toe men commenced shooting at him With their pts.ols. He received quite a number of shots in differ ent parts of his body. Alter running si take j on toe railroad track he took to toe woods, and shortly after entering them FELL FROM » XHAUSTXON and loss of blood. While laying on the ground where he tell aaydght came and he beard voices approaching. He remained quiet and saw toe men ee toey passed near him, walking on tbe railroad tr. ck in tt* direction of this city says he recognized the partita to be the th ee men who baited him and fired upon him with their pistole. An hour or eo after they had Pfiaeed, a farmer cams along with a wagon-load of peaches on hia way to Atlanta. Alexander explained to the farmer his condition and he waa taken into the wagon and brought the city- Dr Peraine, wbo examined the wounded man, says that there ire EIGHT BULLETS IN HU B DY. Nine of them a truck him. bat one of them passed throngtx hia arm a* d cexne out Seven of the tells struck the negro and lodged In his body and hips, while one entered the back o' his n< ck and lodged between his shoulders Dr. P. rklns says tnat the ba.lt are so buried in tne flesh that he cannot get them ont Heth Irk* there to a bare pofslbillty that the negro may live, while the chances are very much aga nit him. It u hia opinion that MORTIFICATION WIU. TAKE PLACE In a few days, and the negro will die.

All of tbe important and vital prin ciptes oi tbe greenback party are tb ju growth ot progressive democracy aod it ia clear that ac a party it cai never hope for raccess without He co operation of the democratic p'^rty; therefore, aa both parties aim for ' th. aame haven, why not sail under tin democratic fl*g and tgake aucceta j doqbly «ns ? • •• • ( Bill Arp to The Constitntion Bulldozed! A few days ego Dr. Fol- ton Baid a little speech at Cumberland Shed, in the county called Murray, and told the good;people in those nnion dig sins “ that he voted for secession and was sorry for it, and wouldenthave loue it if he h&dent been under the control of this same corrupt democratic ring.” Hiw’athat? What a 8ideal up&tree! Aint it the oldest cate of bulldoztn you’ve hearn of ? I reckon the parson waa mighty nigh 50 years >ld then and in the prime of hiB mind and metal, and if he coold be intimi dated then what will he do when soma big thing comes along and equats like in elefant upon him 7 Do yon reckon he could stand the Grant pressure anti never fi nch, considerin’ the obligations he’s under to the radicals in this dis trict? But the main question is, Who done it to him ? Who was the corrupt ring n 1861 ? Was it a Burtow ring, or a district ring, or a s'ate ring or a g r ea big confederate ring ? I’ve thought over the illustrious dead over whose graves our people have built monuments and thrown fl were from year to year, and I’ve called to min 1 the patriotic survivors all over the country, but 1 cant settle down on the ring. Axor- rnpt m m dont generally put. himself peril of death to defend his corruption, and therefore itconldent h ve been the Cobbs nor the Colquitte nor Coopere nor Toombeq nor Hennings nor Waddels, nor BUnces, nor Laflm&n* nor Johnsons nor Aatiereons nor Avery b nor Youngs nor Gordons nor any euch could it? Well itcouident have been Luster, for he voted agin secession, and they couident intimidate him out oi his judgment, though its possible they may uave bull-dczid him into the army af terwards, and he aint found it ou’ jet Not exactly bo with the parson. Tiey made him vote and write and talk and speak and grow mmpant,bui they could ent make him face the enemy. Before he would have doue that he would have bucked up in the corner of a fence and tout. He was like Artemna Ward, who said them internal rebels had to be crushed out, even tho it sacrificed his brother-in law and every male cousin his wife had. But who was the ring? 1 thought maybe it was Judge Wright and General Wofford. But they was on Luster’.* side. The Judge was I know,for 1 heard him make a speech in which he said it would be a rich man’s war and a poor man’s fight and the parson was one of the nch ones be was a hintin’ at. There aim but one man left tnat fills the bill and that man is Z *ch -little Z ich reckon he’s the very little bull that done it and the trouble is he’s bull- dr zin him yet, and by the next presi dent .1 race l*m ufered ht\ fl rp him plumb over into the radic *1 party. He never says a word agin him now nary word—but he[a everlastingly preachin' ot the corruption of i ’ e democratic par ty. He’s iollerin Z ch r.ght along though be dian’i louer him into th* a my. Z ch w«b h-»t for secession bu he b .Ch.cu up h:s judgment aod fit ai over the contederacy and wonld have been killed 40 times if he hrdent been too iiule to L.i When the bullets sun* thick he used to plant himself edge ways and split emab faBt as they co ne li was just like ahootinut a knife blade. H.b company never thought Le icut .air lor they said the split balls would kill two men behind him instead of od' ,and they made so much fuss t bout it Z icn quit aud come home and raised a company ol his own that wasent ho darned partickeler how any body font But after all, what does it matter Tne parson dident lose anything by it, did he, except his niggers, audit looks tike he’s got a heap more of them now than he Lad then; and besides we was all agoin to give ’em away, anyhow, after while—wasent we? Now, if the doctor had voted agin secession, and then been bud dozed into tbe army and ioBt a right arm, or a left leg, he moui have had some reason to cun plain of the ring, if there was one. Tue next time he sa'. s a little ?petch, wont s-imr Luster plan please ax Him who sejuced him—who was the ring? For the sake of history, get the names, if you can. Shorely, Bhorely, he’s mistaken abont tais bisinees. 1 wish he would do like old Parson Wigginton, wIm> use to tell about his conversion. He said he went about shootin’ bis mouth off al every thing and everybody, and utill wi.sent happy, and one day be gdt to thinkin* over it, and concluded that may be his rifle was foal, and eo he unbreached himeelf and looked down tbe barrel and found the rifles all twisted to shoot backwards instead of forterds, and so every time he blazed away at other people’s sins his gun kicked him over ker-plnmp. tto he cleaned her out with the help of the Lord and changed eends, and now he was at peace with himself and all mankind. It the doctor would do that way may be these nrgi and boogere would all vanish, and then he would.find himselt stauaing o:i a single plat'k, and that would be: "Mv feller citiz ne, I want to go back t Washington bad, very bad, but Idon . know of a siugle reason upon the face of the earth why anybody bhouid vote for me this time. The democrats of: his district are as true and as patriotic they are anywhere, and the c invention that nominated Luster was composed of the best meu I knew of in ail tbe counties, and were ir capable if fraud or trick, and Luster is the same man ’ told you in 1874 was a good man and { iure man, only he’s gooder and purei rom age and experience, and therefore I withdraw in his fav r ” Wouldn’t that be a splendid little speech, and wouldn’t it do honor to the parson, and wouldn’t every b nly be satisfied, exsep, say about a a< zeu men and two or three crezy wenron bren Aofford wonld feel relieved I know for this bumeea has run on him lik-j a Kathir ik a heap longer than he ever intended, and somehow its taken tht wrong road and he don’t feel easy at all, bnt then he’s a Wc-fiorf, and they don’t retreat nor back down from any thing. The general eaid a lit le spec cu at the shed, too, and told the people chat “Dr. Felton cident nominate him sel', that he and a me others got to getner and consulted, and having be come dissatisfied with the corruptions of the democracy settled down on the doctor to run : and in speaking of the doc*oris war record, he said that th* doctor sent a nigger to cor k for th boys.” Well, you see the nigger may have cooked very well, but he ain’t * running for congress. Its the parson we are talkin’ about If a substitute got killed we dident cry over the man that sent h m, did we? Not mneb, especially if the at ba ituie was & cook, and dident git killed neither. Tbe truth is, the general is a tryin a litue too hard to patch up a war recent for the pai son. Why didn’t he say thai preachers wasent expected to fi<br, et- pr dally if they was iackin in fig in metal, and an; j ct to bem bull d z-d by an inviMb e lint— Id Wig^intot said a powerof lolka lacked metal ami that was the reason why Aaron made b golden calf ins ead of a Durham bull- ■ he metal gin out. A*ut we do want the genrul tojteil us wbo consulted with him in nominatm the parson, and where i. was done. We want a list cf the names and a copy of ne letter of invitation, and the parson's reply. F ir tbe truth of history we want to get at the notion* facts,for the peoolehave a right to kaoa and if this thi* g wasent doue in a cor ner the parson and his friends ongh;em to be a«named of it, aught the ? Yours, Bill Abp. P.8.—Tell your friend Mr. Cato to keep on *a!kin. I tell you be Under stands this business from the mudsills, md the way he drape em down on the doctor is like rocks fallen on the root of ahouse. B A. |uVd*r «lli Kxn|(»*ton.
