This is a movement on the part of the
young people that should be encouraged
and sustained by the citizens generally,
order to bnild up a place of amusement
where the evenings may be spent with
profit and pleasure, and as having a ten
dency to withdraw young men from bil
liard-saloons and grog shops. It will culti
vate their minds and improve them in
many respects, intellectually,by the course
of study and training they will undergo to
enable them to sustain the characters they
assume. In it there is nothing derogato
ry to morals or religion, and very much
to commend it to the favorablo consider

of this interesting work to state to
those who have subscribed for the book,
that ho is now Teady to fnrniah them with
their copies. Rev. J. S. C.‘Abbott, the
historian, says of this work. “It is an
extraordinary book. It is intensely inter
esting, and is also full of the most valua
ble scientific, religious and moral instruc
tion. No one can read it without ex
periencing elevation and expansion of
thought"
The Agent desires those who have
subscribed for the book to call at the
furniture store of S. P. Boone, and pro
cure their copies.

The Oates* Troupe.—We learn from

OUeandon, the Tumbleronicon man,

were here last winter. The company ii

Speaking at Ellavilue.—Co! W. F.
Wright, the Democratic candidate for
Congress in the Third District, addressed
a large crowd of citizens of both colors,
in Ellsville, on Saturday, the 2Gth Nov.
His speech was mild and conciliatory,
and had a happy effect upon his bearers.
He received a warm and enthusiastic re
ception from the citizens of Schley. The
CoL is gallantly fighting the battles of
Democracy against Radicalism, and he
will be well sustained in his noble efforts
to crush out this hydra-headed monster,
Schley county is all rights she will elect
her Representative to the Legislature,
her county officers, and give CoL Wright,
a handsome majority. Let every man

guay, Brazil, and Mexico, and the United
States—iu them all to some extent and
iu some to a great extent, I have found
the universal Ayer represented by his
family medicines, arc often held in
fabuloas esteem. Whether they win
their marvelous reputation by their cures,
I know not, but I know they have it to
such a degree that it frequently gave
a distinguished importance to have come

The undersigned earnestly appeal to
the women of the whole South to aid
them in obtaining contributions for the
erection of a monument at Richmond,
which is to stand as a lasting memorial
of the love borne our great Chief by a
mourning and grateful people. The sol
diers, through their resolutions passed at
their great meeting so lately held in
Richmond in honor of General Lee, have
called upon us to join thorn in collecting
contributions for "the desired object.
An organization for that purpose has
been already formed by the undersigned
and to the women of the South—from
Maryland to Texas—we appeal for aid.
The fourth Sunday in November (Nov.
27th) has been selected as the day on
which a collection shall bo taken np in
every church throughout the length and
breadth of our Southern land. This is
the only possible way by which a volun
tary aud simultaneous offering can be
mode to the memory of him whom we
would honor in death as we linve honor
ed and loved him in life. With perfect
confidence in the love which his people
bore him, and in their zeal to do that
which, in honoring him most will most
redound to their own credit, we cau have
no doubt of the success of this plan if it
can be brought directly to the notice of
every clergyman aud congregation in the
South ; aud that this may be accomplish
ed, we call upon you to assist us. Let
the committees which have been appoint
ed for each State act promptly and with
vigor> Let them urge, that on the fourth
Sunday in November, each member of
every family should go to church with
that sum, small or great, which their
means will allow them to dedicate to this
sacred object.
To those clergymen and congregations
who object to collecting for such
ject ou tho Sabbath, we would suggest
that they should appoint some suitable
day in this mouth when a meeting of
their congregation should be held and
the collection taken up.
Let it be remembered that this monu
ment is to be raised by tho whole South;
that it is to be one to which, as a people,
may point proudly, and to which gen
erations for ages to come shall look up
with respect for the love which a defeated
people could bear to a great but fallen
hero. Shonld each of the 25,000
gregations scattered throughout the
South contribute but a trifling
what a monument could bo reared! Let
every man, waman and child, then, give
what they < a l, regardless of how small
how grout the snm may be.

Views and Opinions.—Hon. Gkatz
Brown, the liberal Republican and inti-
test oath candidate just elected Governor
of Missouri, over MoCrueo, Radical Re
publican, made a speech at St. Louis a
few evenings ago. From a sketch of his
remarks we take the following :
We have gone through this contest,
we have rnude no appeal to party, we
have made no „ discrimination against
men, and yet we have made a distinctive
appeal to the common sentiment of the
common coantry, iu behalf of tho right
of every man to exercise the right of fran
chise of a free man, and we; have won up
on that principle. [Cheers.] Now I
have to say to you without any hesitation
that I have to thank tho Democratic par
ty of the State of Missouri [cheers] for
the cordial support that they have given
me in that position, aud I say further
more that no party has over shown more
perfect command of self, more perfect
disregard of past traditions, more per
fect devotion to the patriotic welfare of
the common country, than liaaitho Demo
cratic party in the last election in this
Stato of Missouri. [Cheers.] I can say
to you frankly, my fellow-citizens, that
I am the lust man in this nation to disre
gard tlio obligations under which I stand
aud that iu this election I recognize that
my obligations are in the largest measure
duo to the Democratic party of the State
iif Missouri. [Cheers.]
Now, my Iricnds, let me tell you
auotker thing, I recognize the fact that
tho Democratic party of the State of
Missouri has done that thing—it has cle*
vated itself upon a higher platform than
it ever ticcupied before ; it has gone for
the rights of all men, and in so doing it
is made an initiative of the future that
.. Jl go through all theStates of tbisUnion.
It has cut itself loose from tho formulas
aud the obstructions of the past, and it
lias made a platform upon which the
young men of this nation can stand—
[cheers]—a platform where they can stand

To the Democracy of Webster County.
Since the nomination of candidates by
the Democratic party iu Preston, on the
I7th inst., at which time I was selected
by the party for Representative I find
that professional duties and pecuniary
interests will not suffer me longer to con
tinue the race.
Thankful for the confidence reposed
me by the delegates selected by the party,
and still hopeful for tho future and trust
ing iu the correctness and uprightness of
the principles of the party, I stand pledg
ed for the support of those principles.—
Hoping that one more worthy may be
found as the standard-bearer of thoae
principles, I remain most respecfnlly,
Your obedient servant,

A Montgomery dispatch of the 29th
says that the meeting last night to ex
press indignation at the course of Smith
and Bingham, in refusing to vacate their
offices, was very largely attended. All
the speeches were made by Republicans,
the principal speaker being Jodge Morse,
defeated Republican candidate for Attor
ney General. He said the election was a
fair [and peaceful one; he had already
tamed over bis office to his suooessfnl
Democratic competitor, and ha did aobo-
carso his successor jraa entitled to it. He
denounced the set of looking the wheels
of Government as high-handed usurpa
tion. Several Republican members of
the Legislature also spoke in condemna
tion of Smith apd Bingham. Mr. Gra
ham, a Republican member from Perry
county, offered a resolution, which
adopted, expressing indignation and dis
approbation of the people si the o
taken by Smith and Bingham.

tire ripe old age of 73. She had been a
faithful member of the. Baptist Church
for many years, and was a quiet and un

TALE OF A NET.KO RADICAL.
A relative of tlio writer owned, during
slavery time, a first-rate negio mechanic.
He was indulged iu every way, and tho
bondage he was supposed to endure did
not hurt him any. After the war, this
clever block man struck ont for himself.
Ho moved to tho seaboard, and became
at once a carpenter aud a Radical politi
cian. Ho managed to do a moderate
business at his trade, and his name was
paraded sonorously in the newspapers.
He was, we believe, a noted man in a
small way, and had a big name to pub
lish. For five years, he has been, as ho
was well qualified to be, a species of lead
ing Radical among his own race. Every
thing seemed to go promisingly with him
until a few days back. In a fracus last
week ho killed another black man. He
was arrested and imprisoned. Iu this sad
extremity, did lio get succor from the
Radical oil venturers in Savannah ? Did
he ever think it worth while to mako his
appeal for help in that direction ? From
the gloom of his prison, his mind fixed
instinctively npon the man who had
once exercised gentle sway over him, and
who was many miles away. To this, his
former master, he wrote one of the most
piteous letters wo have ever read, beg
ging him for God’s sake nnd for tho sako
bf old times, to oome and help him. This
letter exhibited a strong reliance that tho
heart of the old master would be touched
und help of all*sorts, money, counsel
and the like liberality extended. What
right, though, had this convict to moke
any such appeal ? He hod helped all ho
could to destroy the prosperity of the
very man to whom his mind reverted.—
Would not that gentleman thus suplica-
ted bo perfectly justified in turning a deaf
ear to the cry oi distress which came
forth irom the prison at Savannah ? He
certainly would; but it is not likely that
he will. And yet the benefaction that he
is about to consummate may bear, as it
has done over and over again, the sting
of ingratitude, in cose the unfortunate
negro should escapo hanging.
What could more aptly illustrate that
the negro, in hia day of calamity, relies
upon the Southern man whom he essays
tornin with the ballot, and has no
fidenoo whatever in the men who aro us
ing his suffrage as a convenient method
of robbery and corruption ?
. Wp do not ask the negroes to listen to
ns. We ask them to listen to these facts.
At Iho same time, we may as well hint
that the time may come when they shall
appeal in vain even to the tender sympa
thies of Southern men.

Fellow-citizens, so fur as this question
concerns our own State, I desire to say
to you that I rocognizo this as tho tri
umph of new ideas; that I recognize
this as tho iuitiatiou of u reconstruction

And accepting it in that light, I wish
you all good cheer in tho future, hoping
and trusting only, in addition to that,
that the lesson which has been taught by
this election to the nation at large, will
be received and accepted, and that the
national Representatives who havo been
ut from the Western country, when
they understand tho force and siguiii-
:o of all of yonr votes, will understand
that it is proper for them to coalesce and
combine, ami consort with anybody and

immense tax which is now levied upon
tinder the false and fraudulent guise
of a revenue tariff. [Cries of •‘That’s

Last night I received from one of yonr
correspondents in Paris the most extraor
dinary tliiug in tlio way of a newspaper
that I have ever seen. Your correspon
dent had cut all the news columns of
the Paris journals of November, had
pasted them together and then photo
graphed them, reducing what filled seven
columns of print to a space scarcely more
than an inch and a half square. This he

Interesting Decision ry the United
States Supreme Court.— Washimjton
Nov. 12.—U. S. Supremo Court, No.
211.—The National Bank of the Repub
lic vs. Millard; error to the Supreme
Court of tho District of .Colombia. The
defendant in error sued the bauk .<
check drawn in liis favor by a paymaster
in the army, on the bank against funds
to the credit of the drawer. Among
other matters, tho court below refusod
to charge the jnry that Millard could
not recover unless the defendant, the
bank, had accepted or promised to pay
the check. The verdict was for the
plaintiff.
As the bank brought tho case here,
this court now reverses the judgment
holding that the holder of a bank check
cannot sue the bank for refusing pay
ment in absence of proof that it was ac
cepted by. the bona or charged against
the drawer. The relation of banker and
customer is simply that of debtor and
creditor, and does not partake of judi
ciary character. There can be no foun
dation for on action on the part of the
holder unless there is a privity of con
tract between him and the bank, and
there can be no snCh privity where the
bonk owes no date and is under no obli
gation to the holder. The holder, takes
the check on the credit of the drawer,
and the bonk Is not connected with the
transaction; Mr. Justice Davis delivi
ed the opinion. .
Since the natural expectation of every one is to purchase goods
lower now than when cotton sold for 20 or 25 cents a pound, we have
fully determined not only to meet the crisis, but GO A LITTLE
BEYOND IT; accordingly we offer our whole stock at the follow
