The Macon Jeltgraph thinks the
Democrats need a little “backbone.”
This is the season for backbones, and
ribs go very well, too.
The New York Graphic is of the
opinion that the State, of Georgia and

cially than any other States of the Vn-
Hon. dames L. Pugh, of Knfaula,
will succeed the late Governor Houston
as Senator from Alabama. He was
nominated by the Democratic * anens
last Thursday.

from which he hail suffered for about

General Grant has had a special
placed at his disposal by the directors
of the Pennsylvania railroad, to be used
when he wishcis it. Several western
roads have already done the same thing.
Another step toward Imperialism.
It is estimated that by the next ap
portionment of representation in con
gress, New I'.ngland will lose four, the
Middle States six, the South gain three
and the West gain seven. By the new
ratio there will be one Representative
to one hundred anil seventy thousand
inhabitants.
Another split is developing in the
New York Democracy. This time the
trouble is in the Irving Hall division of
the party, and Tammany has nothing
to do with it. Well, we are content,
and shall l*c if they divide into as many
wings as there are feathers on the great
American eagle.

I join them in proposing a
national policy or system ot mcas-
ill dwarf and terminate this
miserable and hnrtful sectional divis
ion—that will swallow it up as Aaron’s
rod swallowed the Egyptian serpents.
We have nothing to gain, but every
thing to lose, by national contests
founded npon sectional divisions. We
have always lost in such contests, and
always will lose, liecansc the party at
the North that sides with ns has to
breast a tide of sectional sentiment
which it cannot withstand. If a sec
tional line is drawn, the strongest sec
tion must win, because the very easi
est task of a political demagogue is
that of rallying the people of his
own section to the maintenance of their
own asserted rights, whether they be
real or only pretended.
If we want to make even a hopeful
contest for political power, ’
upon a platform of principle
uies tha*. will concern the people of the
whole country and interest them in *
support. We must make sharp iss
with the opposing party—whcthei
be called Republican or whatever else
—npon such a policy, and wc must
ly upon the strength of such a national
policy, and not npon any sectional f
lidity, to win the fight for us.
Ceitainly the presentation of sucli
policy will have the effect of breaking
party line) to some extent. It will sop
arate from us some classes at the North
that have lately acted with us, and it
will draw to ns others that have oppos
ed ns on the sectional qnestions that
have for so long a time been paramount
Bnt we will risk nothing by the change.
Call it disbandment, re-organization,

“Mr. President: In the conversation
referred to in the article just read, I said
that those persons who were eudeavor*

reason that I never had uttered a word
calculated to mislead any one as to my
position regarding Senator Rrown and
Governor Colquitt. As to these dis

neutral from the opening to the close of

A Swindler Traveling South.

dress, who falsely represents himself
being connected with the secret servi
division of the treasury department,
now traveling in the Sonth, and, by
means of forged drafts on New Yoi *
and the use of stolen and altered regis
tered bonds, is swindling persons out

of the secret service, says he shonld be

stitute proceedings for his extradition

How to Save Meat.
The Early Connty Xetrs has been
given by a farmer of experience a plan
for saving meat, which may bo profita
ble to somebody who has hogs enough
to have more than one killing. If
formant says that if he could have fa
vorable weather for the first killing, he
was not particular as to the weather for
the next. His plan is, when he salts
down the second killing, to put a layer
of the old meat on each layer pf the new.
This plan, he thinks, secures the fresh
meat from spoiling even in moderately
weather—at least he has always
been successful in saving it in that way
Tbe Presidential Electors will meet
at the several State capitals on the first
Wednesday in December and vote for
President and' Vice President. The law
prescribes tbst these votes sball be
opened and counted before Congress on

[From our Regular Correspondent ]
Washington, D. C. Nov. 20, *80.
Washington has, during the preset
week, began to resume its society
smile and political panoply. The
ecutivc and his cabinet has at length
settled down in their homes. Foreign
ministers, attaches of legislation, mili
tary and naval officers may be again
seen driving or promenading on the
great boulward that stretches from the
Treasury Department to the Capitol.
Pretty government clerks and dashing

contracts, vie in tbe display of French
costumes and Americau manners
Pennsylvania Avenne. In a short time
the political mill, Yanity Fair, and
Mammons Coart will be again in pi
imity at the only place where they
be seen in such development on this side
the globe. What are these to us, or
we to them, that we should read about
them, or write about them? Cannot
every American citizen find sufficient
political excitement or annoyance it
the affairs of his township, municipal
ly, connty or State? And as for the
other sex, have they not social realms
of their own—little pent up Uticas of
fashion, narrow and provincial, we may
call them, bnt they contain the germ
and elements of all that we see in Wash-
ington, Boston, or the proudest co'
of Europe. It is well for one ei<
badly or mentally to get oat of his
castomed environment fora little while
and, as distinguished investigators ha
not thonght it beneath them to stndy
the lowliest forms of existence, the
American citizen and citoyenne will
find their horizon broadened, their pleas
ure and usefulness enhanced, by keep
ing the run of political affairs and so-
tenderness at the only seat bf national
government that is directly assessable
to them. It is a fatal mistake to sup
pose, like Dr. Johnson, that there
nothing worth seeing outside of Lou
don, but there are those who an
Dr. Johnson to the extent that they be
lieve in the universality of their
village.
It is not expected that the coming
session will be very interesting in itself;
no one knows what a Congress may
bring forth, bnt there will be no lack of
interest in official and political circles
in relation to the new. administratioi
Preparations for the inaugural cen
mony on the 4th of March are well ut
der way, and the pageant is expected to
excel all previous inaugural display!
Hotels and boarding-honsesare expect
ing a golden harvest, and preparations
are making to accommodate in tents the
various volunteer military organizations
that have signified their intention of
visiting the Capital, at that time, to
take part in the inangnral parade. The
inaugural ball will be held in the Na
tional Museum, which has jnst been
completed. This edifice is spacious,
.having, perhaps, the largest single, un
seated hall in the United 8tatea, and it
Irill no donbt accommodate all who can

charged on inch occasions. —
