BIOA. 3*Sb.*S:iV St. UAKUIK.
OF MERIWETHER.
—ln one oi Dickon’s novels, an old
lady, took offence at a young mail
and ever afterward, whenever she met
him, she wanted to “chuck ! im out a
winder.” She ought to be sent af
ter Hilliard.
Defaulting paymasters and other Re
publican officials owe this government
near’y $3, 000,000. The Grantadniiii
istration makes no move to collect it or
punish the rascals.
Hilliard is down on “rings.” So
far, so good. But (lien you’ll no
tice, he’s fighting a “ring” to which
all true white men of the country be
long—the Democratic party. The
only “ring” it now has, is the “ring" of
tho'right metal.
The charge that Samuel J. Tilden
failed to give in bis income Tax at its
proper value, is proven to be false in
every particular. The charge was
a coolly concocted Radical falsehood.
11 Hilliard’s election would not
be detrimental to the interests of
tho Democratic Party, why is it,
that the Radicals of the district are
giving him such a united support?
Personally we have the highest
regard for lion. Henry W. Hil
liard, but as an Independent, O
my ! how we don’t like him.
The Democratic House savjcl the
peop'e more than two million dollars on
the postal appropriation. There was a
grand Republican howl over it, but the
mails come and go as promptly and re
gularly as before.
Mr. i/iiliard’s adherents are so
few and far between,” that he has
taken a Lamp to find them with.
W
The Griffin News says: Houston
county deserves the title, “the ban
ner county" of the State. With a
clean Radical majority of 2,000, it
gave Colquitt 1,800 majority.
The Daweon Journal puts it pretty
strong, thusiy: ’’Never go into a
store where you’re not wanted. If a
man wants you to come to his room he
will invite you to do so: and if a
//illiiard; Poor old blind-man:
e’ll miss the road to Congress,
f lie depends upon the flick
ing uncertian light of the Geneva
amp.
—-**■ ■*— —
Mr. Dennis eccentricity has led
u into an 'unfortunate mistake.
r Hilliard is not the choice of
ae people, and he can be elected
only by Eadical votes.
Miss Bailie Means, daughter of
Eev. Dr. Means, a most estimable
young lady, is dead
Tins pobioffice department is now
known as the department of Indiana.

that they will rally around him and
secure tiic position for him.

The Geneva Lamp lias declared
in favor ot Mr. Hilliard for Con
gress. The only r reason we can
discover for this extraordinary
course on the part of our highly es
teemed cotemporary, is to be found
in his eccentric humor. Mr. Den
nis seems io have a passion for the
novel and unique. Uc calls h.-
spiev and ever readable paper,
the Lamp, his stylo of composition is
unusual; a vein of humorous eccen
tricities runs through all his par
agraphs, and this eccentricity is
apparent in all he does. It is
therefore fully’ in keeping with his
practice as a newspaper man, f<>r
him to support Jleii'.y W.
Milliard.
Oil, Wliiit a Change!
MR. HILLIARD ON INDEPENDENTS.
Mr. Hilliard is now condemning
conventions as rings—political organ
izations, from which he was only too
glad to get a nomination. A writer
in the West point News, in showing
the inconsistencies of Mr. Hilliard in
the days of his prime and the pres
ent, when he is a ghost of the past,
says:
“We heard Mr. Hilliard on flic
hustings so mercilessly excoriate Mi.
Pugh for daring to present himself
before the people of the Second Cor
gressional District of Alabama as an
Inpepcndent candidate against Mr.
Hilliard himself- —the nominee of his
party! He held him up to ridicule
—he taunted him with allowing am
bition to make him a traitor to bis
party—bn said, with a curl of his bp,
that he had been to easily seduced,
and, turning round on his opponent
be scornfully pointed his finger at him
and said: “I commend to ldm and
all others of ‘easy virtue’ the well
known stanzas of Goldsmith:
“When lovely woman stoops o folly,
And finds too late that men betray,
Tl’liat charm can soothe her melancholy
What ert can wash her guilt away?
“The y sit her guilt to cover,
To bi le her shame ij om eveiy eye,
To give repentrnee to her tover
And wring his bosom—is to (lie.
Might not we commend these stan
zas to the Independent of our day,
and must we not regret that Parson
Hilliard cannot say with Parson Prim
rose : “Age hath cooled my pnssto. s
and my calling restra ns them ?”

On January Ith, the conference oi
the Grand Council of the United
Slates of the Order of the American
Alliance, met at Philadelphia, and
nominated for President, Rutherford
B. Hayes, of Ohio, and for Vice-Pies
ident, William A. Wheeler, of Now
York.
On July sth, Governor Hayes re
ceived a Committee of the Order at
tho Continental Hotel, thanked them
for the nomination, and accepted it.
On July oth, in Columbus, Ohio, a
sub-committee, of which William T
Black, of Pennsylvania, was cha'r
nnin, waited npon Governor Hayes,
and presented him with the full Con
stitution of the Order and the Oath,
and informed him of his elcetiou as
an honorary membr. The committee
also handed him tho resolutions oi
nomination. Hayes accepted the
I'o^rarj^memberslii p and the nomi
nation.
On July 10th, Alfred E. Lee, Sec
ret ivv to Governor Hayes, wrote to
IL. S. Tyler, Box 2071, New Yotk,
Secretary of the Order, tnauking the
Alliance, and promising material
! aid.
i On September 13th, A. E. Lc-e, Sec
! retnry, wrote to Colonel D.’Mark
breit:
“It is not, true that General Hayes
i has given any assurance of sympa.
thy with or indorsement of declara
tions against the naturalization of
foreigners, or the privileges of for
eign born .citizens.
“The story that Governor Hayes
: ever indorsed such sehtii&ents. by
letter, or otherwise, is utter'y false.”
The Constitution of the Order pro
i video “that tho object for which this
| order is oganized is an amendment
j of the Naturalization Laws, limiting
the suffrage to persons born in tics
country, or of American parents.
The election of American born persons
only to official positions in this coun
try"
The Oath of tho Order is : “I sol
emnly swear that I will not vote
for any person or persons for
any o flic ini position who are not
American born citizens”
Governor Hayes was in possession
, of the Constitution and the Oath. lie
accepted tho nomination with full
knowledge of their provisions.
Lae, Lis secretary, absolutely de
nied that Hayes had ev r indorsed
| such principles by letter or other-
I wise.
Rutherford B. Hayes, ami Lee, Ins
! secretary, have deliberately lied to
the American people, and stand con*
victed of attempting io obtain the
highest office iu the world by a sneak
ing fraud.
Possibly the disastrous failure of
the Republicans with their income
tax charge may have one good re
sult. It has already brought about,
| a strong revulsion ot political feeling,
well expreased by such papers as the
N. Y. Evening Post, tho .Nation, and
others, against the attempt to carry
the campaign by sheer vilification
and scandal. It may bo that their
inability sustain the charge, and tho
defeat which seems now to have been
brought upon them, largely through
the popular feeling in behalf of an
oncst man foully assailed, may tea h
our politicians a needed H
hereafter our campaignShre conduct
ed by a decent discussion of princi
ples, and not upon the basis of cam
paign li s the Republican party will
not have been defeated in vain.— Ex.

The Democratic majority in ninety
two coin ties is 60,000. The forty
counties to hear from will make the
majority 30.000 at least. The Senate
vi c forty-three Democrats and
one Republican. The House will all
be Democrats excopt six Republicans'
including three colored.
“Speaking of shaving,’" -ay* a pretty
girl to an obdurate old bachelor, “I
would think a pair of handsome eyes
would bo the best mirror to shave by.”
“Yes, many a poor follow has been
‘-shaved’ by them," the wretch replied.

Blaine is his partner in the job they
huvo undertaken, but his speeches
tire only mi echo of tho scurrilities
which mark tin* effusions of Mr. In.
goisoll. Air. Ingoisoll is a man of
strong views and much bad language.
In bis published works on religion,
he calls the Christnin God ‘an infinite
fieiul, in whose service we are asked
to slide every m-ble sentiment of tho
soul, and to trample under foot all
the sweet charities of tho heart.’
11c calls God ‘a monster,’ and the
‘devil the lirst schoolmaster, the firs'
advocate of learning, tho first enemy
of ignorance.’ He calls the Bible
‘a book filled with passages equally
horrible, unjust and atrocious,’ a
book of ‘barbarian invention.' Ho
ea'ls the Church ‘a great robber that
libs rifled not only the Docket? but
tho brains of the world;’ ‘Dio Upas
tree in the shadoof which the intol
| lect of man has withered:’ the Gor
i gen beneath whose gaze the heart of
man lints turned to stone.’ Ml'. In—
gerso’l has a light to his religions
views, of course, but from t hese ex
tracts. not from speeches, remember,
but IVont deliberately published and
I carefully corrected works, it is easy
.to leant the spit it in which the man
approaches any subject. 1i bo talks
iu this way of the most serious sub
jects which can engage the attention
of man, thc-io is no need to be aston
ished at anything he mnv >ny about,
politics. De is simply what the N. A.
World aptly culls him, ‘an insane
blackguard.’
