Fellow- Citizens : We congratulate you as patriots, as partakers with us in the common destiny ot American free men, upon the results of the October elections. We rejoice in the victory which tho people's ballots have bestowed upon the friends ot reform, in the valley of the Ohio where the Republican hosts had an overwhelming ascendency in ev. ery PreeicUnt'al election since 1856. We rejoice in the assurance these elec tions convey that your ballns will be stow decisive majorities to the allied forces of Democracy and Reform in the November elections throughout the Un ion. But we rejoice not as partisans; we rejoice with you as fellow-citizens. And when the decision ot this week of one million voters aldng the valley of the. Ohio shall oe ratified next month, by the fiat of eight million voters through out the whole Republic, we shall still tejoice, chiefly for the reason that not one of its citizens can iniifs ot an equal share with us who are Democrats, in the political peace and good will which will then and there be established among all sections, races, classes auU conditions of men,- and in the prosperity ot which po litical peace; based on equal rights and fraternal good wilt, is the first condi tion. Upon the three States of West Vir ginia, Ohio and Indiana, were concentra ted air the influence of ihe Administra tion, all their efforts, and the vast sums of money forced fiom the one hundred thousand office holders ot the party in power. These were feorful odds, not again to be contended against so concentrated ; tor in November elections the contest will be in every one of thirty eigiit Slatos upon the sa::te day. Nevertheless, against these odds the Democrats and Refoimers of West Vir ginia and 4 Indiana have been victori ous, and in Ohio they have all but res cued a Stale hitherto deemed hopeless, and have created an assurance of victory in November. If it falls to our lot as a National Democratic Committee to congratulate the people of the Uuion upon the victory in the first battle of the reform cam paign, it is only because Democrats have been honored to be the leaders ot the people in the work of national regenera tion. * Tlie Victory won, the victory still to be won, will be a deliverance as much to Republicans as to Democrats. The patriotic masses ot the Republican party nmy be thankful that the misdeeds of tbeir unworthy leaders have been re buked and are to be arrested. The suf ternig whites of the South may lift up their heads to greet the dawn ol a better day for them as well as the nation ai large. The colored citizen may share the general -joy that he will soon cease to be the stock in Hade of corrupt poli tioanE, but shall enjoy his rightlul liber ties aud his equality before the law amid universal good will. As for the Reform Democracy, to whose standards victory has beeu tied, with all her garlands on, it only remains lor them to Welcome every ally, every friend, close up the ranks aud press on, shoulder to shoulder, under the banner and with the one watchword, REFORM. Fellow-citizens: Peace between all sections ■, Prosperity in all our homes: of these you hive been for years depri ved by the mistaken s-iii-jiiudes of patri otic Republicans played upon by selfish and corrupt leaders, who have been kept fanning the dying embers of civil strife in order to escape inspection ot the trusts which they have oetryed. For eleven years you have had the name of peace. At no time have you had the substance of peace. In lieu CONYERS, GA„ THURSDAY. OCTOBER <O, 1870. thereof you have had ihe grinding tnxa tion and wasteful expenditure of war. Just before every year you have had the preaching of anew crusade -tgsinst a section utterly defeated in war, and anx ious only to be completely reconciled in ptabb'. For eleven years thfe' power of the men who have seized awsy the control ot their patty from the hands of its statesmen and founders has been supreme in almost every department of the Fed eral Government. Discarding the hope tif prolonging their damnation by benefioieut public measures, they have created and traflick ed upon public calamities. The policy they have adopted has been worked "out. Its failure has beeu absolute. In place of past performances these same corrupt and Selfish leaders now proffer promises already broken as their titles to further trust. Having prostrated our manifold indus tries by the vast aggregate and the worst methods ol federal taxation, they now again solicit your confidence as the in struments of retrenchment and reform. Having debauched the public seivice, and having just now, in the face ot open day, assessed their army tit a hundred thousand office-holders—the people's servants—paid by the people’s taxes—in order to create immensecorrup;ion lands to frustrate the people’s will, they now profess to be the champions of civil ser vice reform. Having imposed upon the Southern States the rapacity, fraud and pluudtr of the carpet-bag governments, having almost ruined the p osperiiy of the North by destroying the prosperity of the South, having credit'd terror, un certainty and confusion in all the produc tive industries of the South, which fur nish most of the exports ot oui whole country, keep iu motion the commerce and manufactories ot the North and East, and furnish a market for the agricultural products of tlie West, they now purpose, by renewal of the same fatal policy, to to prolong their ow n power in tho hope ot concealing tl eir misdeeds, and for this purpose they do not hesitate to le new 'lie cry ot intolerance; to revive the dying memories ot fraternal strife, and to appeal to the leai's and prejudices 6\ the timid and tho ignorant. Fellow-Citizens: .These and their measures have been completely tailed. An oppressive luxation, an exhausted South, an impoverished North, a fluctua ling currency,the enterprise ot an industri ous people locked fast in the paralysis of hard times—such is the outcome of their political policy, such are the achieve ments of their long supremacy. Your ballots m November can alone dictate a change of measures* and a change ol men. Shall not the uprising of patriot ism along the vallc-y of the Ohio go on to a complete and beneficial revolution in the administration ot the government of the United States’ Will you not, by r the voice ot over whelming majomies at the, polls, pro claim your invincible taiih, alter all these yeais of co luption and passion, in the high immortal principles ot government by the people for the people, in simple honesty and strict economy, as the su preme wisdom of public policy, in justice as the mother of power, and in civil freedom as the be-all and the end-all of a true Republican nationality. Will you not build up anew prosperity for all the people on the old foundations ot American self-government, on peace, reconciliation and fraternity between all sections, all classes and all races embra ced within our system of Americau coin monwealihsi oil frugally aad eecnomy in all governments ; on honesty and pu rity ot Administration, and having lost your prosperity through governmental misrule, regain that prosperity throug Governmental reform ? We commit this © great issue to the intelligence and science of the American people, with an unfal tering trust in the wisdom aud justice ot their decision. By ordei of the National Democratic Committee. AbraH S. llewitt, Chairm u. Frederick O. Prince, Secretary. New York, Oct. 13, 1876. A Nebraska paper invitingly says : ‘Who says farmers cannot -row rich in this State? Fifteen years ago a young man came here without a dollar in the world.

Max Adder sits just inside, anti as the stranger enters he is seated at Adder s right hand. He is seated iu an old- fashioned splinibottonied chair, the bottom ot which lias gene to look for the dust ot the Pilgrim fathers.

He is politely informed that lie is against the rules hi the office to extricate any one who falls through the chair iu which Ar temus Ward used to sit, and is in just the condition he left it. ‘Does Philadelphia come bp to your ideas?’ kindly inquires Mr. Adder as he openS Another exeliiftfge. The stranger sets to work to bust that chair or break his back; but he can do neither. lie thinks the joke has been carried farjenough, hut is informed that it is not a joke—that no man around that office was ever more sober in his l.te. The victim tries to laugh, and remarks that five minutes more will finish his spinal column. ‘Oh, no it won’t/ replies Mr. Adder. ‘\\ by, 1 have known men who were on the verge ot the grave to live iu your position for one hour and sixteen min utes !’ After a quartet Of an littnr or more Mr. Adder ca Is in three more editors and introduces them to the s’ranger, and they want to know if he i pleased with Philadelphia; ami if lie lias any hard fed ings against the memory of William Pbiirj. Five minutes is then spent in u;iuiiioi‘ iLxa vu*.iiin pjin be i:x— treated under a suspension ot tfie rifles. The vote is a tie, and the c'ty editor is called in to cast a ballot.

Uu tortunately, he sines ibi .. i.„.. i.-ir ..—j. through, and he could neither return nor retreat. When the attention of Mr. Simes, the teacher, was directed to the culprit, Mr. Simes proceeded to the ex terior of the edifice and embraced the opportunity afforded by William’s posi tion to hammer with a shingle. Then young Mr, Pitman was pulled out and plunged into nuns in vulgar fractions Near the school house there is a mill race at the end ot which there is a since gate. Immediately below the gate there is a huge, deep tank, which carries the water to an undershot wheel. The inside ot ihe tank i green and slimy, and when the water is drawn carefully out ot it, a great many fish can often be found lying in the bottom. Tile tank is fifteen fefct deep. A few days after the flogging, Bill happened to pass the tank and '.o look m. He saw Mr. Simes at the bot tom picking up fish and putting them in a bag. William felt that the hour of vengeance had struck. He turned the handle of the sluce-gate, and in less than a minute that jolly old pedagoiige was floundering in six feet ot water, trying in vain to clamber up the slimy sides ol the tank. When he saw young Pitman, be shrieked to him for help. But Bill, with fiendish coolness, said: “No, sir; you’ve got to tread water till you prom ise never to lick me again,’ Then >imes solemnly pledged 'himself never to si i ike* another blow at him, and Bid let the wat r from the tank and helped Sinn s out. That night, when Bill got home, he found Simes there conversing with the Judge, and five minutes later the Judge, was foundling V\ flliain with a trunk strap, while Simes sat by aird smiled.
