The slavery of party has never
been, in any country, exhibited in so
execrable a light as in ibis, at the
present day. Amongst the adher

ono man in ten who approves of his
recent measures of usurpation of

South Carolina, before the election,
to control it, and afterwards into
Louisiana to count iho votes and
render such returns as they wish
and yet, m violation ol conscience,
and iu many cases, of oaths of office,

is sustained by the whole party

it is highly probable that he is elect

A writer in fashion gushes (oftli as
follows: “A stylish priestess in the

perambulating conflagration. Lurid

limbs, glowing tisme envelope her
head and clasps her white throat in
blooil-red coils ; starting lines of
dune dart in and on', and down her
dark garments and even sliino be
tween the soft kid ot little boots.’’
A horse, no matter how vicious
and obstinate lie may be when at
tempts are made to shoe him can be
rendered quiet and manageable by
making him inspire, during the ope

A largo number of trials of this sub
stance have been made with the
most troublesome and violent ani

success.

LETTER FROM TALI,'OTTON. j
Tai.hyrrnx, Ga., Nov, 7, 1870.
Editor J iniXAi. : — This, it may
be even!fill day in our national life,

sler.ii without the rec.nlleie i, m of
rim, bnvtmet or flood. Although !

passions " i'll ilr Sum hern broth- |

■ e.p the |ii'Mnit, e needed nolle.
Lei iis he grateful to (Rid, and at the j
same lime stnipaihize wiili those
sections ihat have been favored with
a in meet ion "hose tender mercies
are rather cruel, Weil, the agony is
over. Whatever tie result we
breathe easier .-rid fed better. If
<bid lias seen proper to change our
chief Rulers we shall quietly submit
and hope that retirement and rest
will improve their health, and should
i hey ever return to rule may they
find themselves better prepared to
promote the general good- From
such blessings, if the will of God be
so, I would not detain them, no not
for a day. Should their reign con
tinue we cannot do bettor than prac
tice the precept given bv St. Raul,
“sr.pplieutious, prayers etc., for all
men and for a l that are in auihor-
I'v.” The end of all this is, “that
we may lead quiet and peaceable
lives in all god’tncss and honesty.”
I hope you w ill not understand me
to intimate that a change in adniin
istrati' n will do away with the ne
cessity lor prayer. Anew adminis
tration, though letter because less
j bloody, would fine itself exposed
I and threatened on every side. With
its friends to reward, its policy to
I shape, its pledges to redeem, its
! enemies to conciliate and control, it
occupies no easy no enviable posi
tion. lie is a wise man, .and that is
n great party that learns to econo
mize or utilize promotion. Stepping
upward in the w orld not (infrequent
ly discloses traits that had heen
unseen in some sequestered spot,
traits too that we have seen and
warm'y censured in others.
The political press has said much
on the subject of reform. It is a
good word. Dj we mean it ? VVhat
kind ? How far should it extend ?
When and where shall it begin?
Wlutt does the country need? What
would God have? These are ques
tions (all hut the last) started by pol
iticians and the people should see that
hey answer them. If reform means
:to more than putting the “outs” in
and tho ‘‘ii.s’’ out, if expenses remain
the same, if lotteries are to be sus
tained by the Shale, if private houses
must swell the tide of corporate
wealth if offices are disturbed with
out regard to qualifications, if men
owing hundreds, and living on thous
ands, are screened by the majesty
of the law, it legislation licenses the'
violation ot the Sabbath, if it tis - the
litneftd whisky traffic as the aboli
tionist did the negro question—hav
ing no marked regard to flesh and :
blood, but agitating to gain or retain
thee, in short it reform is not sincere,
; radical, reftehihg down and j m ils
ng tlie very fount sin of thought and
action the country, the
t/u j icj-ie cannot hope for any
-O id p.rmanent prosperity. 1 like

From all I have seen, and can
learn, your county is blessed with

happens that the cry of “hard limes”
prevents a proper patron g- of the

other. Tiiis should not be. An in

Eugene P' Speer, of the Chitlin
News, is a candidate I r Clerk of the
I lon - e of IT’; rcsenaa’ives, and the
Hotf-e will do well to elect him to
fill the position, lie is fully compe
tent and well qualified, and it would
aflord ns much pleasure to v,-e him
(limed. The I.’.Grange lie porter in
speaking of him says; “There are
tw o excellent masons why we desire
to see Mr. Speer elected, and why he
should he elected. One of these is
that he is perfectly acquainted with
the duties and responsibilities of the
office, and is well qualified to till it.
During the last L gislature he was
journalizing clerk of the House, and
occupied a s.milar position, we be
lieve, in one or two former Legisla
tures. If be is elected the duties of
the office will be performed in every
respect as they should be, as he is
both a competent and accurate busi
ness man.
“The otiier reason mentioned that
’ commends him to the good oraces
( ° *
and the suffrage of the members of
the Home, is that if elected, he is
determined to have the work of his
department done with a force greatly
reduced (roui that of the last Legis
lature. Tae gouging done by the
clerical department of the Legisla
ture lias been shameful, and the office
.and chief clerk ot either house should
be given to no man who would not
promise tc appoint his subordinates
"oil the view t>f getting the work
done with the smallest possible ‘dree
Ttiis, we understand, .Mr. Speer has
promi-cii to do; and on this ground
and the other one previously named,
we commend him to the members
elect of the next House of Repre
sentatives.”
