BEGINNING OF OUR FOURTH VOLUME.
With last week’s issue The Forest News
ended its third year, and With this issue the
paper begins its fourth. Commencing the
publication of a local county paper here three
years ago (the first issue bearing date June
12th, 1875,) under adverse circumstances and
peculiar surroundings, the management of the
News have steadily progressed, until now the
paper is a fixture among the people—one of
the institutions of Jackson county ; affording
a medium of inter-communication between
the different parts of the county, and the
means of the distribution of information ar.d
general public intelligence of the day to a
large number of people who, by reason of
meagre mail facilities in the past, could not
keep posted either in count}’or general news.
While the paper has not, at all times, met
with that great degree of success wished for
by its originators and supporters, still it has
succeeded far bej'ond the most sanguine ex
pectations of many of its friends and admir
ers. And now, with better and increasing
mail facilities through the county, (brought
about, to a great extent, through the efforts
of the friends of the paper) the News launches
forth on its fourth years’ voyage under favor
able auspices, notwithstanding the generally
depressed state of affairs in the country as to
financial matters, with a larger number of
bona, fide, substantial subscribers than the
paper has ever had since its establishment.
Although the paper had been successfully
engineered, under the first arrangement, for
two years and a half, the proprietors, at the
beginning of this year, deemed it prudent to
change the management, with a view to
greater progress. .Some little confusion, in
a few instances, has arisen by reason of the
change ; but, we are glad to say, so far, reason
able satisfaction has been attained by all in
terested, generally.
Thankful for the patronage of the public
in the past, we desire a continuance and in
crease of the same, and doubt not but that it
will be given according to the deserts of the
paper.

The Executive Committee.
In another column will be found the full
proceedings of this body, at their recent meet
ing at Gainesville.
Despite the hopes and predictions of the
Independents to the contrary, this Committee
have made two important changes in regard
to the basis of representation and the matter
of proxies. 'These changes, if carried out,
and we have no doubts upon that subject,
will adjust all past differences that may have
been in the party, and will secure the fair
nomination of a man that will be able to de
feat the combined assault of Republicans and
Independents.
That these reforms will take the wind out
of the sails of the Independent orator, and
force his hearers either into the ranks of the
Radicals or Democrats, no one will doubt;
leaving no platform upon’which to urge bis
candidacy, except his personal desire, and
his right, as an American citizen, to go to
Congress.
The charge of corruption and unfairness in
representation, so much harped upon by In
dependents and malcontents in the District,
and that no reform in this matter coukl or
would be had inside the organization, is no
longer true, for the Party, acting through the
Committee, has, of its own accord, introduced
these needed reforms, which shows that, upon
a proper representation of the matter, any
error or abuse that may have crept into the
organized ranks, may and will be corrected
without the neceesit}’ of organizing anew
party to do it.
In view of the action Liken by the Com.
mittce, which meets our approbation, we urge
the Democrats of Jackson to call a meeting,
and take steps to select delegates to repre
sent them in the coming Convention, to be
held at Gainesville on the Ist of August, and
we doubt not that a candidate will be placed
in the field worthy of the votes of the people.
The Dawn of Peace.
At last, after threats, menaces and a war
of words, Russia and England have agreed
to leave all matters between them to be set
tled in the Congress. Our readers will re
member that the bone of contention between
them was, that Russia had defeated Turkey
and forced upon her a treaty of peace with
out consulting the rest of Europe, especially
those who were interested in what is known
as the Eastern question. To this England
and Austria excepted. It was then proposed
that there be a Congress of ail the powers
who were interested, to settle the matter. To
tins Russia agreed, but only proposed to al
low the Congress to discuss such parts of the
treaty of San Stefano as she saw fit. To this
England objected most strenuously, saying
that she would not go into the Congress un
less Russia submitted the whole of the treaty
to the revision of the powers. Russia refusing
to do this, ended then all hopes of a peaceful
settlement of the question.
Each of these powers then began to make
extensive warlike preparations, and, had it
not been that Russia had weakened herself
in the recent war with Turkey, and her
finances in a bad condition, we should have
heard of a declaration of war between these
two powers before now. But Russia, seeing
that England was more than a match for her,
agreed to England’s proposition, and now the
whole treaty will be discussed, and the pow
ers of Europe assembled will make the terms
of peace between Turkey and Russia over
again, or to suit the Congress. That the re
sult of the deliberations will altogether dispel
the war cloud uo one can tell; it may be the
means only of prolonging the time of the dis
ruption.

A Financial Compromise.
It is stated that a compromise has been
agreed upon in Washington that practically
settles the agitation of the financial question
during the remainder of the present session
of Congress. By this agreement, the infla
tionist leaders agree not to interfere with
Secretary Sherman’s plans of resumption un
der present laws, provided a law be passed
prohibiting the further retirement of legal
tender notes. The compromise is to end
financial legislation for this year, so far as it
affects our bonded indebtedness and resump
tion. It is to be hoped that such a compro
mise will be arranged, as the people need a
little rest from financial legislation.
The Committee of Eleven.
We copy from the New York Sun the fol
lowing article, giving the history of each one
of the committee to investigate the Presi
dential fraud :
As the committee for inquiring into the
frauds in Louisiana and Florida is, in manv
respects, the most important that was ever
appointed in the House of Representatives,
brief notices of its members will not be unin
teresting.
Clarkson Nott Potter, the Chairman, rep
resented the Westchester District in Congress
for six years previous to his present term.
He was born in Schenectady in 1825, and
graduated at Union College, of which his
father was one of the professors, and his
grandfather, Eliphalet Nott, D.D., was the
President. Dr. Nott was a distinguished
clergyman of the Presbyterian church, and
famous as a pulpit orator. Professor Potter
was an Episcopalian, and after leaving the
College became Bishop of the Diocese of
Pennsylvania. The Rev. Dr. Alonzo Potter,
the Bishop of the Eastern Diocese of New
York, is the uncle of the member of Congress,
and Dr. Potter, ti e Rector of Grace church in
this city, is his brother. Mr. Clarkson N.
Potter, though residing in Westchester, is a
prominent lawyer in this city, lie argued
the case before the Supreme court at Wash
ington, in which certain provisions of the
legal tender act were pronounced unconstitu
tional, and reargued it at a subsequent term,
when Judges Strong and Bradley had been
added to the bench, for the purpose of revers
ing the previous decision. Mr. Potter was
the leading competitor of Lucius Robinson for
the nomination for Governor in the Demo
cratic State Convention of 1876, and received
more than one-third of the votes, lie is a
gentleman of fine presence and great respect
ability, is a good lawyer and a vigorous de
bater; and it is believed that lie will not
shrink from a fearless discharge of the high
duties now imposed upon him.
William R. Morrison, of Illinois, is the
second on the list of the Democratic mem
bers. He is a native of Illinois, is fifty-three
years old, was liberally educated, and is a
lawyer by profession, lie lias been a Demo
cratic leader in the Illinois Legislature, and
Speaker of the Lower House, and was a Col
onel of a regiment in the war of the rebellion.
When Mr. Kerr was chosen Speaker of the
last House, he appointed Mr. Morrison chair
man of the committee of Ways and Means.
He was also chairman of the special commit
tee which visited New Orleans a year ago last
winter to investigate the election frauds in
Louisiana. He is, therefore, somewhat fa
miliar with one branch of the subject that
will come before the present committee.
The next Democrat on the committee is
Eppa llunton, of Virginia. He was born in
that State in 1823, and is a lawyer of solid
attainments. lie was a member of the Con
vention that carried Virginia out of the Union,
and a Brigadier-General in the Confederate
service, fighting at Gettysburg and on other
sanguinary fields. Captured at Sailor’s Creek,
lie was a prisoner for three months in Fort
Warren at the close of the war. lie has been
four years in Congress previous to the pres
ent term, and was a member of the Electoral
Commission. He is regarded as an able,
judicious, candid man.
William S. Stcnger, member of the Com
mittee from Pennsylvania, is a descendant
of the old German stock of the Keystone
State, and one of the younger members of
the House. He stands among the leaders of
the bar at Chambersburg, and has heretofore
served one term in Congress.
John A. McMahon, of Ohio, is the Demo
cratic representative from the Dayton Dis
trict. lie is 45 years old, graduated with
high honors at St. Xavier’s College in Cin
cinnati, studied law with Clement L. Vallan
dingham, and subsequently became the part
ner of that famous Democratic politician.
Mr. McMahon was a delegate at large from
the State of Ohio to the Democratic National
Convention of 1872, which unanimously
nominated Dr. Horace Greeley as the Demo
cratic candidate for President.
The next Democrat on the Committee is
Thomas R. Cobb, of Indiana. He is a law
j’er, resides at Vincennes, has been eight
years in the State Senate, and a candidate
for the nomination for Governor, and was a
delegate to the St. Louis Convention of 1876,
where lie labored zealousl}’ for his friend,
Thomas A. Hendricks. This is his first term
in Congress.
The last of the seven Democrats is Joseph
C. S. Blackburn, of Kentucky.’ lie is 40
years old and a lawyer. lie served in the
Confederate army throughout the war, and
was in the last House. He does not believe
in the validity of the Hayes title. On that
dark Friday night when the Electoral Court
was completed, he denounced the fraud in
burning words of indignation. At a serenade
in Washington, after the Ohio election last
October, he said : “The Bible tells us that
Belshazzar read his doom in words of fire.
There was a man here—he who rests uneasy
in the White House—who has read his doom.
Ohio had condemned the usurper in the White
House.”
General Benjamin F. Butler heads the four
Republicans on the Committee. Having
been born in 1818, he is its oldest member.
He is so well known to the whole nation that
no sketch of his life is needed. The matter
to which he is to inquire into will afford a
rare opportunity for the display of that
shrewdness, tact, energ}*, professional learn
ing. and experience which have given him a
conspicuous place among the lawyers of the
country. He never had so good a chance to
make an honorable and enduring mark in the
public annals as now.
Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, represents the
Portland District. This is his first term in
Congress, of which he is one of the young
members. He graduated at Bowdoin, and
was three years Attorney General of the
State.
Frank Hiscock, of the Onondaga District,
is among the good looking members of the
House, and one of the lawyers in Syracuse.
He has been District Attorney of Onondaga, i
and was a member of the State Constitution-1
a! Convention of 1867-8, having been elected
to that body in the place of his brother, L.
Harris Ilisoock, who, it will be remembered,
was shot by Colonel Cole in Stanwix hall the
evening before the Convention assembled.
The subsequent acquittal of Cole on an in
dictment of murder, upon the ground that he
was insane at the moment of the shooting,
though perfectly sane the instant before and
the instant after, was one of the last and
greatest professional achievements of James
T. Brady. Mr. Frank lliscoek was a liberal
in 1872, and supported Dr. Greeley for Pre
sident. lie is serving his first term in the
Mouse.
The last of the Republican members is
Jacob D. Cox. of Ohio. He was born in Mon
treal, and is fifty years old. He was educa
ted at Oberlin College, where the celebrated
revival preacher, Charles G. Finney, was a
Professor of theology. Mr. Cox married a
daughter of Mr. Finney, lie was distin
guished as a scholar and, after leaving Col
lege, was admitted to the bar. where he won
a good reputation. He served in the Union
army all through the war, rose to rank of
Major-General, and was in many desperate
battles. He was Governor of Ohio in 1866
and 1867, and Secretary of the Interior under
Grant from March 1869 to December 1870.
when he resigned from the Cabinet in disgust.
He has always been a Republican, with rather
independent proclivities, and has sufficient
talents to make a valuable member of the
Committee.

What Folks
Say!
After all has been said or done that
can be, the fact remains the same that
the only true proof of the pudding is in
the eating, and every housekeeper must
be her own judge of the merits or de
merits of the various preparations offered
for her use in cooking. To form any
intelligent judgment, a fair trial, how
ever, is necessary, and this is all that we
ask for Sea Foam. It has stood the test
of chemical analysis as well as practical
use, and notwithstanding the fact that
some grocers insist on handling inferior
articles that offer larger profits, it has
attained an enormous sale, and wherever
once fairly introduced has since had a
constant and increasing demand. That
all may he induced to give it a fair trial,
we select from the vast number received
o few testimonials to the merits of Sea Foam.
THE GREAT CHEMIST.
I hereby certify to the purity and great
strength, of Sea Foam, and recommend it for
family use. TV. M. llarßishaw, Ana
lytical Chemist for New York Chemical Trade.
VERY GOOD.
Have tried See. Foam, and find it very
good. — Beall, Koch & Co., Frostburg,Md.
FULLY TESTED.
I have fully tested your Sea Foam, and
find it all that you have represented.—
S. llurst, Memphis , Term.
EVERYBODY LIKES IT.
We like the Sea Foam.—J. 11. Gil
bert & Bro., Grocers, Knoxville, Tcnn.
ALL THAT IT IS RECOMMENDED.
I use your Sea Foam, and find it all
that it is recommended to be. —P. M.
Donnelly, Terre Haute, Ind.
PREFER IT TO ANY OTHER.
Having used your Sea Foam, I prefer
it to any other yeast powder that I have
seen.—Mrs.G.W. Purnell, Ingomar,Miss.
CAN NOT BE BEATEN.
Weare satisfied that it can not he beaten.
John K. Kexaud & Cos., New Orleans.
OUR BEST CUSTOMERS ASK FOR IT.
Our best customers desire that we
should keep your Sea Foam for sale.
Please sencf two cases on best terms. —
F. G. Hipsley & Cos., Baltimore.
ENTIRE SATISFACTION.
I distributed two dozen cans among my
friends for trial, and it has given entire
satisfaction. — F. llexke, New Orleans.
A No. 1.
From samples of cake returned to us
by our lady friends, we must pronounce
your Sea Foam A No. I, and cheerfully
recommend it to all. ll. Fitzgerald
& Cos., Wholesale Grocers, Memphis, Term.
Sea Foam is universally commended,
and you will like it if you try it. One
can of it is worth three of any other
baking compound. It saves time. It saves
trouble. It saves money. It saves time,
because no delay is necessary for the
dough to raise. It saves trouble, because
very little kneading is required. It saves
money, because in three months’ use the
saving in milk, eggs, and other ingredi
ents will more than pay its cost, and then
it will make forty pounds more bread from
a barrel of Hour than can in any other
way he got out of it. Ask your grocer
for it; and if lie will not supply it, send
for circular and price-list to

The "White;
—is—
THE EASIEST SELLING,
THE BEST SATISFYING
SraiMaclii
Its Introduction and World-renowned
reputation was the death-filow to high
priced machines.
THERE ARE NO SECOND-HAND
V/HITE MACHINES IN THE MARKET.
This is a very important matter, as It is a well
known and undisputed fact that many of the so
called first-class machines which are offered so
cheap now-a-days are those that have been re
possessed (that Is. taken back from customers
after use) and rebuilt and put upon the market
as new.
THE WHITE IS THE PEER OF ANY SEWING
MACHINE NOW UPON THE MARKET.
IT IS MUCH LARGER THAN THE FAMILY MA
CHINES OF THE SINGER, HOWE AND WEED
MAKE.
IT COSTS MORE TO MANUFACTURE THAN
EITHER OF THE AFORESAID MACHINES.
ITS CONSTRUCTION IS SIMPLE, POSITIVE ANO
DURABLE.
ITS WORKMANSHIP IS UNSURPASSED.
Do not Buy any other before try
ing the WHITE.
