Brieflets,
A Philadelphia paper says: “One
of the afflictions of the centennial
will be a congress of lawyers, an
nounced to convene in this city on
the 20th of June.” Why, an afflic
tion, pray ? You don’t think all the
lawyers in the country are like
“Philadelphia lawyers,” do you?
Some vampire in human form is
going to exhibit Washington’s false
teeth at the centennial. Crush the
sacreligious wretch ! If encouraged,
he will produce G. W.’s wig, glass
eye, wooden leg, false calves and
bustle.
An eastern paper has the great
kindness to inform its readers that
the proper sentiment for the centen

emn, congratulatory and sternly in

shape his habits of thought accord
ingly.
Warren Chase proposes that " the

Norwich Bulletin: “ Kuskiu ob
serves that as a rule women have no
eye for color. This explains why a
woman is obliged to spend three
quarters of a day in getting the ex

while when it comes to mending her
husband’s pantaloons she seems to
think that a yellow patch is just the
thing to match black broadcloth.”

The New* York Star says ot Anna
Dickinson; “She is homely as a
hedge fence, but her face, expression
less and leathery as it is, has wonder
ful mobility, and her eyes, ordinari
ly dull and lustreless, flash under ex
citement till they are really beauti
ful. Her figure is against her, but
the make-ups are such extraordinary
inventions that that sort of thing is
never regarded, out of burlesque.”
“"There are many trying things in
life, but a man’s self-respect is never

reaches out his hand to take it in;
and then discovers that it is glued
on the under side of the glass.

A doctor went out West to practice
Ids profession. An old friend met
him on the street one day and asked
him how he was succeeding in his
business. “First rate,’ ’ he replied-;
“I’ve had onecase.” “Welland what
was that?” “It was a birth,” said the
doctor. “How did you succeed with
that?” “Well the old woman died ;
and the child died ; but I think I’ll

The dispatches published in some
of the leading papers of the country
to the effect that Gov. Hendrieks-had
about concluded that his party would
throw him overboard at St. Louis, is
authoritatively traversed. Both Hen
dricks and his friends claim that-they
are more hopeful now of his nomi
nation than they were two months
ago. Upon this point the Baltimore
Gazette says the friends of Mr. Hen
dricks present very good and sub
stantial reasons for their sanguine
expectations. It says further: “These
we are not at liberty to publish, be
cause they have been communicated
in confidence. The review of the
situation which has been given us is
a strong one, and if it is correct Mr.
Hendricks will receive a very strong
vote at St. Louis even on the first

The Passage of the Jetties at New
Orleans.
On our first page will be found an
interesting account of the passage of
the steamship Hudson, drawing four
teen and half feet, through the jetty
formed channel over the South Pass
bar at the mouth of the Mississippi
river. This event, which practically
demonstrates the feasibility of Cap
tain Eads’ plan for opening and
main fifing channels at the mouth of
the Mississippi of sufficient depth to
admit of the passage of large class
vessels, will be hailed with pleasure
as well by the whole peojfle of the
Missisippi Valley as by the people of
New Oilcans, whose commerce has
been so injuriously affected by the
shallowness of the outlets from the
harbor to the gulf. The Picayune ,
announcing this important event,
says: “The further deepening of the
channel is rapidly progressing, and
the attainment of a depth of twenty
feet on the bar seems to be only a
question of a short time. As fifteen
feet of water is no longer a debatable
question, so, we hope, within a brief
period, to chronicle that the attain
ment of twenty feet of water has
passed from theory into accomplish
faet. Such a result will mark an
epoch iu the history of New Orleans
and the Mississippi valley, from
which will date anew era of prosper
ity and power.
“The removal of the impediments
to navigation which have so long
restricted traffic and diverted com
merce from our ports, will bring
backjthe shipping of all nations to
the mouth of the great water way of
the continent, through which will be
distributed the enormous surplus
products of the richest valley in the
world. Whether anew bar may be
formed in time, further out iu the
Gulf, after the scouring out of the
present channel, is as yet a question
to be settled in the future. High au
thorities seem to be at present divid
ed upon it.
“Gen. Comstock’s report of his ob
servations, and the report of the
coast survey, will no doubt give some
data upon which toiorm a conjecture
as to the probability of sueh an event.
But should such a formation be
made in the course of fifteen ortwen
sy|years, it probably never be a seri
ous impediment. The difficulty hav
ing been once overcome, the means
for overcoming it again will hardly
be wanting. With twenty or thirty
feet of water over the present bar,
we may rely upon posterity and the
future to take care of another.”
The Courier-Journal and Georgre
D, Prentice.
Louisville, May IG.—The inau
guration of the new Courier-Journal
building took place this afternoon.
The ceremonies of unveiling the stat
ue of Georgu I). Prentice which
graces the building, were very im
posing. The streets in front of the
ottice on Fourth Avenue and Greer,
streets and for half a block around,
were densely packed with people.
The windows of the Masonic Temple
and all adjacent buildings within
seeing and hearing distance were fill
ed with ladies. An extraordinary
interest in the ceremonies was mani
fested by the people, distinguished
persons, including Governor Mc-
Greery and James B. Block, being
present. The programme of the in
augural exercises was as follows:
the unfurling of the flag; music by
the Great Western Star Band ; pray
er by E. P. Humphrey; address by
Dr. T. S. Bell; the unveiling of the
statue by George D. Prentice, Jr.,
and the coronation of the statue by
Mrs. Clarence Prentice; the Prentice’s
requiem, by Will S. Hays; an origi
nal poem, by B. L. Swope, Esq.,
recited by Colin Alfriend, Esq.;
music by the band.
In the evening a display of fire
works from the balcony of*the build
ing, was witnessed by an immense
concourse of people. To-morrow a
centennial edition will be issued,and
will bea double sheet and the largest

The Presbyterians.
Meeting of tlie Genernl Assembly of tlie
United States at Savannah.
Tclegrm to the Constitution.
Savannah, May, 18.—The gener
al assembly of the Presbyterian
church of the United Stales met this
day at the First Presbyterian church.
It is the largest attendance since the
war; 150 delegates present. The
session opened with religious servi
ces; introductory sermon by Rev. Dr.
W. D. Hoge, of Richmond, Virgin
ia.
Rev. Wm, S. Plumer, of Columbia
S. C., assisting Rev. Dr. D. B. Smith
of Virginia, was elected moderator.
Rev. J. E. Dußose, of Tennessee,
was elected temporary clerk.
The session will probably last ten
days, continued daily by resolution
from 9 a. m., to 3 o’clock p. in.
A sermon was preached to-night
by Rev. Dr. Mallard, of New Orleans
which was largely attended.
Several important questions,among
tlie Pensylvania presbytery question
and the proposed junction with the
northern church will be brought up.
The Republican party is now about
to nominate a candidate for Presi
dent, and it is immaterial what reso
lutions may be passed, the people
will aceept the candidate as embody
ing and indicating the policy of the
party in the future administration of
tlie Government. The candidate is
to be the platform. If Mr. Conkling
or Mr. Morton be the candidate, it
will require no resolutions to assure
the people that the Southern States
are to be ruled by force, and that the
rule of the bayonet must be continu
ed; that the carpet-bag adventures
are to be protected in their plunder
of the country, and that the whole
white population is to be forced in
self-defense to remain in opposition
to the Republican party.— Chicago
Tribune.
If the country is to be afflicted with
another Republican administration,
it makes very little difference to the
South whoistheornament figurehead
to the corrupt organization. The vase
will still smell of the roses. The
country needs an entire change. The
'Tribune's tardy plea of sympathy is
plausible, but its arguments are
springs to catch woodcocks. The
South naturally distrusts them. If
its deferred sympathy for the fellow
countrymen of the South is genuine
—if it would be sincere in the offer
of assurances of fairness and justice
—it should help us to secure a good
nomination at St. Lous. —Nashville
American.
Yes, Griffin News, the Columbus
Freshet has been confirmed,” and
Hersehel V. Johnson is the coming
man for Governor. He has only to
say that he will accept a nomination
and the people everywhere will rally
to his standard as the Huguenots did
at Ivry to the white plume of Na
varre. —Chronicle & Sentinel.
Beecher, in his lecture at Washing
ton, Friday night, said: “The world
never knew braver men than the

mHE CIIItISTIAN INDEX AND BAPTIST
I appeals to the a flection as well as to the
interest of every member of the great Baptist
tumily in Georgia. Every Baptist in the South
feels a just pride in his or her denominational
paper, and should use every possible means to
induce non-subscribing Baptists to take this
THE BEST RELIGIOUS FAMILY PAPI R
IN THE SOUTHERN STATES.
In size, mechanical execution and complete
ness it is U NSUItPASSED.
Its Editorial Stall' is composed of some of the
most eminent writers in the Denomination.
It lias a large corps of paid Contributors and
Correspondents.
It is me Denominational Organ of Georgia Baptists,
endorsed by their Conventions and urgeutlv
recommended to the exclusive favor and
patronage of the Denomination in Georgia.
Iherelore we urge and earnestly request ev
ery Baptist in Georgia to subscribe for The Is
hex. Every I’astor should see to it that his
membership is supplied with the paper.
Every Baptist in Georgia should make
ithisduty to subscribe for and support; the
State Organ of his Denomination.
See its Peculiar Merits and Adiantaps,
1. Asa Denominational Organ. In it are
found discussed all topics and subjects vital to
the Christianity of the age, and especially to
us as Baptists. No paper evidences more wis
dom in discussing the “signs of the times.” It
does not sound the alarm after errorists have
done their work.
2. The Index contains all the latest Church
intelligence, revival and otherwise. All facts
pertaining to the progress and prosperity of
our Zion, that can he gathered from the press
and correspondence, are to be found in its col
umns.
3. The Spirit of (he Press of all Denomina
tions touching subjects vital to church, society
and country, is carefully collated, so that you
may see at a glance what the great minds of
the age think, as to the subjects indicated, as
well as of those who edit and control the paper.
4. “Our Pulpit” is another important fea
ture. Each issue contains a carefully prepared
sermon, which, in itself, is worth the subscrip
tion price of the paper.
5. All information relating to Husbandry —
the laboring class or Granges—is carefully ma
nipulated lor your bencht.
6 The wants of your children are not neg
lected. Selections are made from the best Sab
bath school and children’s papers, making
this department alike instructive and enter
taining.
Prom the secular press -D gleaned the
latest political intelligence, national and in
ternational.
These are some of the peculiar merits of The
Index. Now, as to its advantages:
1. You have, combined, the theological, lit
erary, Sabbath school, political and agricultu
ral in our pap r, all tor Three Dollars.
2. The paper is centrally and eligibly located
for gathering all Intelligence pertaining to our
Southern ZiQii.
3. Its publishers have their own publication
house—hence the permanency of the enterprise.
Item ember these advantages as well as mer
its. Do not let this opportunity pass to secure
the paper you need., ■.

THE DAILY AMERICAN.
Nashville, Tennessee.
THE centralization of power in Washington,
and the control of currupt combinations
of the day in the Government at various points
throughout the country to fleece the people of
their hard earnings, has justly' excited the pub
lic. The unexampled policy of paying billions
of debt in gold, at a period of general stagna
tion in business; the disposition manifested,
if not to convert the government into an abso
lute monarchy, to reduce the free people of
America to absolute serfdom; the continual
cry of the tax gatherer; the building up of the
few at the expense of the many: the excessive
inequalities of burdens imposed by the Gov
ernment on its own citizens, all of whom are
entitled to equal privileges; the results of all
these in the general prostration of business af
ford just cause for alarm. They afford also a
just cause for a demand for a change in the
National administration ofpublic affairs.
It is therefore the duty of the Democracy,
which in its purity is the representative and
defender ot the people, and of the people
themselves who are really the Democracy, to
correct the growing evils which threaten to
overwhelm all in common ruin. There must
beaefiangeo! the National administration
before there is either safety or real reform.
This is the vitalqucstion before the people.
The American is on the sideol the peopls
and of change. It has its views and expn sses
them from day to day, and while doing so
frankly and honestly, it also fairly and a>
fully as its space will permit, gives the views
and arguments of the other side. Jt claims
nothing outside of the interests of the people,
and seeks only to inform them truthfully of
all matters in which they themselves are
mostly concerned.
On the eve of the Centennial of the Republic
and of a Presidential campaign of the greatest
moment to the people, it behooves the Con
servative and Democratic masses of this sec
tion to supply themselves, in time, with polit
ical news, facts and general political informa
tion irom the nearest central distributing
j*)int. The American, issued from the cap
ital of Tennessee, and supplying as well, much
of the ten itoryol Kentucky, Georgia and Ala
bama, is the only Daily Democratic journal
published within a radius of more than a hun
dred and fifty miles in which there arc nearly
if not quite a million of people. It furnishes
to its readers, at heavy expense, the full vol
ume of telegraphic reports of the Western As
sociated Press, including the Congressional
proceedings of the most interesting sessiou tin
many years, in which the Democrats, for the
first time since the war. have a majority in the
Lower Mouse and nearly half the members of
the Senate.
The season is rapidly approaching anil near
at hand when will he discussed political issues
affecting the National, and State elections of
1876. The Presidential election overshadows
all others in iis importance at this time, not to
our section alone, but to friends and defenders
of Republican institutions throughout the
Union. Though times may lie hard, the very
occasion of hard times is traceable to sources
with which the people ought to be acquainted,
and of which i; is the mission of the Ameri
can to inform them, and we think it is not in
opportune or immodest to ak the attention of
the masses of the people in its columns, which
will tie always full and reliable. The sugges
tion to Democrat* and Conservatives ofTenues
see and States adjacent, to help extend its cir
culation and enlarge its sphere of usefulness,
is the more confidently made in view of the
very grave political and financial questions
which are now agitating the public mind, and
which will enter largely into the approaching
Presidential canvass, and perhaps determine
the character of the Government itself in the
future. The American has undeviatinglv
stood forth in defense of the Constitution, o’r
the rights of the States, and of individual lib
erty. Now, when all these are assailed by a
powerful and corrupt centralized administra
tion, it pledges itself anew to devote all its
means and energies to political reform and the
restoratii n of the old landmarks anil limita
tions of delegated authority and of the stand
ard of official honor.
By a law ol Congress which went into effect
on the first of January, 1875, the publishers of
daily newspapers are required at the time of
mailing, to prepay all po.-tage, which relieves
the subscriber of the payment of postage at
the office of delivery. Under this law the post
age will be less than the previous law. The
postage on the Daily wil! be 6d cents instead of
$1.20, on the Weekly, 15 cents instead of 20
cents;and on the Semi-weekly 20 cents instead
of 40 cents. Our subscription prices will,
therefore, include the postage, and will be as
follows, by mail, payable in advance:

THE WEEKLY SUN
1870. NEW YORK. 1870.
Eighteen hundred and seventy
’* if the OciitnmM year. 1 1 is also tile
year in which an Opposition House of Repre
sentatives, the first since the war, will be in
power at Washington; and the year of a twen
ty-third election of a President of the United
States. All of these events are sure to be ol
great interest and importance, especially the
two latter, anil all of them and everything
connected with them will be freely and‘fresh
ly reported and expounded in THE SUN.
The Opposition House of Representatives,
taking up the line of inquiry opened years ago
by THE SUN, will sternly and diligently in
vestigate tiie corruptions and misdeeds of
Grant’s administration; and will, it is. o be
boped. lay the foundation for anew and better
period in our national history. Of all this
THE SUN will contain complete and accurate
accounts, furnishing its readcss with early
and trustworthy information these absorbing
topics.
The twenty-turn] Presidential election, with
the preparations for it, will be memorable as
deciding upon Grant’s aspirations for a third
term of power and plunder, and still more as
deciding who shall be (lie party of Reform,
and as electing that candidate. Concerning
all these subjects, those who read TIIE SUN
will have the constant means of being thor
oughly well informed.
THE WEEKLY' SUN, which Ims attained a
circulation ot over eighty thousand copies, al
ready has its readers in every State and Terri
tory, and yve trust that the year 1876 will seo
their numbers doubled. Jt'will continue to be
a thorough newspaper. All the general news
of the day will he found in it, condensed when
unimportant, at fill* length when ot moment;
and always, yve trust, treated in a clear, inter
esting and instructive manner.
It is our aim to make THE WEEKLY SUN
the best family newspaper in the world, and
yve shall continue to give in its columns a
large amount of miscellaneous reading, such
as stories, taies, poems, scientific intelligence
and agricultural information, for which we
are not able to make room in our daily edition.
The agricultural department especially is one
of it> prominent features. The fashions are
also regularly reported in its columns, and so
are the markets of every kind.
THE WEEKLY SUN, eight pages, with fifty
six broad columns, is only one sl.go a year,
postage prepaid. As this priue barely repays
the cost of (lie paper, no discount can be made
from this rate to clubs, agents, postmasters, or
anyone.
THE DAILY SUN, a large four-page news
paper of twenty-eight columns, gives all the
news lor. two cents a copy. Subscription, post
