The new Constitution of North Caroli
na prohibits marriages between whites and
blacks to third generation; provides for
biennial sessions of the legislature, each
limited to sixty days ; authorizes the Leg
islature to farm out the penitentiary con
victs, and invests it also with power to
provide fitting penalties for the carrying
of concealed weapons. All judicious and
much need provisions.
A youth was rushing around the cor
ner saying, “All I want in this world is
to lay my hands ou him !’’ [Ie pres-
ently came upon a boy weighing about
ten pounds more huu himself, and
rushing at him, he exclaimed, * *l>id you
lick uiy brother lien ?” “Yes, I did.”
said the boy, dropping his bundle and
spitting on his hands. “Well.” con
tinued the other lad, backing slowly
away, “he needs a lickin’ once u week
to teach hitn to be civil !”
The Hon. B. II. Hill, of Georgia, says the
Democratic Congressmen from the South will
l<e very conservative- mnl will oppose nil
cl ims against the government on account of
the war. That’s a'good programme.
The above paragraph is going the rounds
of the Northern press. We do not believe
that Mr. Hill has made, and wo are equally
sure that lie was never authorized to make,
•any such declaration. Mr. Hill and the
Southern delegation in Congr ss willbe # co- -
servative in maintaining the principles of
right ami justice, and will advocate or op
pose claims ngaiust the government on ac;
count of the war from the North or South,
according to their merits.—Snv. Xetcs.
A Colorado journalist has a trap pre
pared for exchange fiends which deserves
to rank among the triumphs of the pro
fession. It is a lively yellow cat, sus
pended over the exchange table by the
tail, the cord being within easy reach of
the editor. Should a fiend rashly approach
the table, be is immediately made aware
of a concentrated streak of yellow vitriol
coursing down the top of his head and
face, and without waiting to find out the
cause of the attack, lie departs never to
return. Then the cat is hoisted up again,
snarling and picking the flesh out of her
teeth and claws.
As one of the cheerful episodes of the
local campaigu in Chicago the papers of
that city are giving, with minute details
as to place, names, and circumstances,
accounts of how the County Treasurer
rcceutly sat down to a game of poker, and
when the session closed had to give his
check for one thousaud dollars, having
lost in addition to this all the loose cur
rency with which he entered the little
game. The Chicago taxpayers seem to
regard with some suspicion a man who,
while the custodian of large sums of pub
lic money yields to the seductive allure
ment of poker.
The Potato Bot—An Important* Dis
covery-
In an article on potato rot,given in July-
last, it was stated that the history of ‘be
fungus of the potato rot was incomplete ;
that the form of the fungus so destructive
in late summer produced its spores, or re
productive bodies by division of the plant;
and that they were not, reasoning from
the conduct of other related fungi, the
spores which remained over the winter, or
resting spores. As the resting spores of
related fungi are produced, if not by the
union of two different plants, they are by
the union of two different cells, corres
ponding to the action of the stamen upon
the pistil in flowering plants, and are
hence called sexual spores. Some other
fungi, when living upon one plant, pro
duce a sexual spores only, and the same
fungus, living upon another plant, pro
duces sexual spores. In the article refer
red to, it was stated that the clover had
been thought to be the plant upon which
the potato fungus formed its sexual
spores, and some account was given of
the attempt of Professor Farlow, of the
Bussey Institution, to ascertain the truth
of this.—Georgia Grange.
Lynch Law in the South-
The New York Sun rightly condemns
the recent lynching in Louisiana ; but it
also indulges in some equally just com
ments upon this occurrence. It says:
“The crew of carpet-baggers and adven
turers who, through the illegal interfer-
renee of President Grant, have control of
the State government of Louisiana, are
endeavoring to make political capital out
of an outrage which is the legitimate re
sult of misgoveruuient and judicial cor
ruption ; aud they would have the North
believe that isolated cases like, that of
Gair’s lynching afford proof that the
Southern people are ripe for a new rebel
lion, and are already engaged in a war of
extermination against the Ireedmen. The
truth is that very few, if any, Northern
communities would have su »mitted to
the oppression of thieves and ruffians with
half the patience that the people of Mis
sissippi and Louisiana have shown.”
The Sun is right. All the lawlessness
that has occurred iu the South since the
war lias been the result of misgovernment.
In every Southern State that has been un
der Radical rule the laws have failed to
protect the people, and the people have
been compelled to protect themselves. As
soon as a faithful administration of jus
tice was secured so soou did mob violence
cease. Take Georgia for example. When
Bullock, backed by Grant, governed the
State the law was made a farce und the
Courts a mockery. Murderers, ravisliers
and robbers were daily turned loose up
on society. The graver the crime the
more certain was the criminal to escape
puuishmeut. Under those circumstances
ths people in every county were obliged
to organize iu their own defense. They
punished crime without the intervention
of a court, well knowing the Executive
“clemency" would nullify every sentence.
Sometimes tftesc proceedings were unjust
aud cruel but, in the great majority of
cases, Judge Lynch dispensed even hand
ed justice. When tile Radicals were driv
en from power aud Georgia got rid of
Bullockism and Giantism together this
state of affairs immediately ceased. Dur
ing the past four years the figures will
show that there have been more lynebiugs
iu Kentucky, Missouri, Indiana or Illi
nois than in Georgia. The Courts are
now able and willing to protect society
and tile people no longer desire to take
the law into their own bands. If Louisi
ana and-Mississippi could get rid of their
plunderers and oppressors there would be
very few acts of lawlessness in those
States.—Augueia Chronicle & Sentinel.
Grants Last Move on the Third Term
Checker-Board-
Alluding to Grant’s latest third • term
rouse.wliieb was so mysteriously announ
ced through the Washington Associated
Press dispatches of Monday last—so mani
festly an attempt to make a war with
Spain a means of securing a renomination
—the Cincinnati Enquirer says : “The
endeavor is illy concealed and iii-timed.
When nearly two years ago the brutal
Spaniard captured a vessel bearing the
flag of the United Slates,butchered scores
of men claiming to be citizens of this
country, and for the hour certainly en
titled to its protection, when the flag of
the nation was assaulted, Grant was in
sensible to the national honor, forgetful
of the claims of bleeding Cuba, unmiud-
ful of the material interests pf the United
States that were crippled by the protract
ed war upon the beautiful isle of the sea.
The wax in Cuba has been iu progress
more than seven years. Grant has looked
calmly ou this wholesale slaughter upon
that island since October, 18G8. He has
seen the sugar and tobacco of that gem
of islands fall before the destruct^e hand
of the insurgent, and has witnessed the
consequent loss to the people of this coun
try with a tearless eye for nearly one hun
dred months. Only on the eve of a Presi
dential election is lie moved to sympathy
for the Cuban Republic or for the honor
or the interests of the United States. The
people of this country are a human peo
ple. They have looked with sadness
upon tbe blood that has moistened and
the torch that has blackened the sentry of
the great Gulf. They sympathise with
people everywhere struggling for liberty.
But they will not be induced into a war
whose, only purpose is to promote for a
third time tbe Presidential chances of a
man the thought of whom as an occunant
of the White House makes the whole head
sick and the whole heart faint.”
Horse-Whipped by Fifteen Young
Women
A correspondent, writing from Hurri
cane, Ky.. sends us information regarding
a rather sensational affair that occurred
near that place some days ago.
In Crittenden county there dwells an
old couple named Thompson, who, for
the past fifteen years have resided on a
small farm, respected and esteemed by all
who knew them. Some days ago a young
man named Blanchard, who has been
workiug in the vicinity of the Thompson
farm, took advantage of the absence of
the woman’s husband, and approaching
her, succeeded by force and threats in
taking undue liberties with her person.
The affair leaked oat the next day, and a
party of fifteen young ladies repaired to
Blanchard's house and called him out. He
responded to .he call, and upon his ap
pearance was greeted with a perfect show
er of strokes about the head and breast
from huge whips in the hands of the en
raged visitors. After he had been chas
tised severely, he was given notice that he
would be expected to leave the State
within thirt v hours, but at the time of
leaving he was foand to be too weak, and
the time was extended a few days. The
unhappy woman left the country after the
affair had become public, and went to her
friends in Union county. Blanchard is
said to be in a critical condition.
All Hail i Mississippi!
The most gratifying political event of
recent years is the splendid success of tbe
Mississippi Democracy at the election on
Tuesday. It almost, if it does not quite
compensate us for the defeat suitained by
the party in Pennsylvania, New York and
Wisconsin, on the same day, because it
lifts from the galled shoulders of our
brothers in blood the bitterest burden ever
borne by a high-spirited people. They
have writhed for seven long years under
the infamous and oppressive rule of tbe
white and black robbers and ruffians of
that State, - but with heroic patience and
unconquerable pluck have never for one
moment lost heart or hope, or made sig
nal of compromise with the scoundrelly
crew who held them by the throat. They
have proven tliemselVes knights of the
rarest courage and sublimest faith and
fortitude, and now find, in the thrill and
ecstacy of a grand victory, full reward for
past wrongs and suffering. A double
health to the gallant fellow 1 Georgia
sends hearty greeting, aud joins her lusty
voice of congratulation to the ringing clio
rus that now leaps loud and clear from
the throats of liouest men everywhere.
One result, we rejoice to believe, will
follow the victory which wiil gladden the
hearts of his hosts of friends and admir
ers all over the land. It is the election of
the Hon. L Q. C. Lamar to the United
States Senate. Never has mau more rich
ly deserved or more worthily won that
crown. Lamar as Senator will re-call
.Mississippi’s proud days, when her voice
iu that body was potential, and her rep
resentatives spoke uot aloue for the State
but for the South. It will be a fitting
climax to a victory his counsels and exer
tions made possible, and a promotion
his ability, zeal, eloquence aud statesman
ship have grandly deserved. He has been
the brain aud right hand of this revolt

nificance if his election is not signalized
by a unanimity rarely known in these

tests. We expect to see him sent by ac
clamation to replace the renegade Alcorn,
and still further to illustrate and illumine
a career rarely matched in its beneficent
as well as brilliant results.—iluco/i I'el. &

A Baby at the Theatre-
She brought the darling with her to see
the play. Her entire devotion to the ac
tive infant and total indifference to ob
servation proclaimed her its mother. She
tickled the baby under tbe chin till it
crowed again. She seized the infant’s
foot and shook it till the infant suffocated
itself with delight. This had a bad effect
for when baby recovered its wind it yell
ed with fright. Then, such a kissing and
dandling. It was tossed, and playfully
shaken, and grinned at, and chirruped to,
until it began another alarming laugh. An
artificial rose in the maternal bonnet
caught the infantile eye, and the delight
ed mamma suffered her offspring to bob
weakly up and down on its limber legs,
and jabber earnestly at tbe floral orna
ment. People in tbe vicinity grew ner
vous. Such a lively infant was sure to
make things disagreeable before the even
ing was over. Several young men got up
and changed their seats to the other side
of the theatre. Gentlemen contracted
their brow and unmarried ladies assumed
fixed smiles of unnatural sweetness as they
cast their fine eyes toward the playing in
fant and its proud and happy mother, fan
cying that they thus advertised the well
of maternal love which lay latent in their
virgin bosoms. The lights were turned
up and bulged out the infant’s eyes with
surprise. Oae feeble little hand with all
the tiny fingers working, was stretched
convulsively toward the glittering gas jets
on the other side of the auditorium. The
orchestra began with a crash. The baby
fell upon its back in the maternal lap and
set up a shriek so loud that the old Ger
man doing a little solo on the comet be
tween crashes, had his sound quite drown
ed. It was noticed when it came the
bass drum man's turn to chime in, he did
so with a thundering vigor that would
have covered the screeches of a foundling
hospital. Baby got used to it, and when
the curtain rang up sat in a state of stu
pefaction, staring at the actors. An ami
able old gentleman in eye-glasses and
white vest, sitting immediately in front
of the baby, wearied of the play, and in
the most granfatherly manner possible,
turned, and poking a fat fore-finger into
the infant’s ribs, jocosely clicked his
tongue. The consequence of this advance
was that, juSt as a young man on the
stage, who was on his knees before a
yonng lady with averted head, remarked
in an impassionate manner, “And, Edith,
darling, should heaved (bless our union
and give us—“baby gives a howl of su-
pernatorial loudness. The confused and
mortifid old gentleman blew his nose with
prodigious vigor and looked straight be
fore him with a red face. The young
gentleman on the stage was startled out
of his speech, and the young lady, over
come with emotion, staffed her handker
chief into her mouth. Every man in the
house scowled at the mother, who seemed
more calmly delighted with her darling
than ever, and made loving faces at it for
full five minutes. She was really and
truly unconscious that she and her pet cn
noyed one, and throughout the evening
smiled serenely and looked upon the in
fant’s screams and kicks os marks of pre-
cociti'Jwhich must excite the admiration
of the public—who, no doubt, were de
lighted with the privilege of witnessing
the same.
A Grand Georgia Enterprise—The
Great Events of the Coming Year-
No man or family should be without
a newspaper. It is the most intelligent,

Address W. A. Hemphill & Co., At

■♦«-;
The Bine and the Grey.
At the meeting of the Union and
Confederate soldiers at Eiizabeth.N. J.,
Generals Kilpatrick and Franz Siegel
spoke in behalf of the Union soldiers,
and Gen. Roger A. Pryor thus eulcgiz-
ed. our heroic veterans:
“We fought for a cause we thogbt
was just, and until this is recogi zed
there can never be perfect reconc Ra
tion. So long as yon think our < use
a mere political intrigue, you will be
philosophically and historically wi ng,
but yon do not longer think so. I
may criticise our revered forefathei I
would say they were to blame for he
late rebellion, for tney undertook to
join in autonomy two sections of e( n-
try with widely different interest! —
From them, Madison, we learned to
believe in our right to secede, in 3 te
sovereignty, or Home Rule, as you all
it; and when the question of the vo
lition of slavery came up we could ot
view it as you did. Yon contend A
you could limit the area of slavery; ve
thought it a domestic institution to be
managed by ourselves. Thus b< in
what ended in the war. When ar
came we necessarily took the 8 te
rights view ; we naturally took to ar
right to seeede. I venture to say tl re
is not a gallant soldier before me, v o,
in my case, wonld not hav j been a b
el. The speaker who had proceeded
me had nothing to apologise for; if he
had I should have contempt for him.
have nothing to apologize. for, aud
under the same circumstances, before
God, I should do it all over again.”
Stillness prevailed as this sentence
was rung out, but when the speake
said that though his heart bled over the
devastated fields of his native Stale,and
though a million souls were sacrificed
by the war, he thought the abolition of
slavery was enough to compensate for
it all, the londest, most vociferous ap
plause of the day was given.
Origin of the Name “Stonewall Bri
gade-”
[Gen. Beauregard iu the N. O. Picka-
yune]
In your issue of this morning I no
tice quoted a short statement from
Bowling Green (Ky.) paper, giving the
origin of the name ‘Stonewall Brigade,
which is erroneous, as well as the
cident relative to the Confederate battle
flag, which does not apply to Gen. T.
J. Jackson, but to Col. R. E. Withers
of the Virginia regiment, now one
of the distinguished U. S. Senators
from that State. The correct version
of both incidents is as follows:
Duriug the battle of Manassas, about
eleven o’clock a. m., when that gallaut
and merritorious officer, Gen. Bonard
E. Bee, was endeavoring to rally his
troops in the small valley in rear of the
Robinson house, he noticed Jackson’s
brigade which had juRt arrived and
taken position a little in the rear of
him, in a corpse of small pines border
ing on the edge of a piattcau where
was about to be fought the first great
battle of the war. Bee, finding that
his appeals were unheeded by his brave
but disorganized troops, then said to
them: ‘ Rally, men, rally ! See Jack
son’s brigade standing there like
stone wall.” Those words gave the ap
pellation to that brigade, and thence to
its heroic commander.
The other incidents occurred at the
delivery of the Confederate battle flags
to nty force at Centerville, in the
autumn of 1861. Matty of these flags
had been made from ladies’ red silk
dresses, some of which were faded, hut
nevertheless highly appreciated by our
troops. The brigade had been drawn
up in columns of regiments on the plat-
toau of Centerville around a small ele
vation, where were statked all the flags
for distribution. The Colonels of regi
ments marched to the front and formed
a line near the colors. After addres
sing a few remarks to these officers, ]
handed each one in succession a flag
When I came to Col. Withers, he re
marked; “General, it is nearly white,
und maybe mistaken for a flag of
truce.” I answered at ouee: “Then,
sir. dye it the in blood of our enemies,
which he promised to do. But he had
occasion to dye it more than once in his
own gallant blood, and finally he was
so desperately wounded that he had to
be put on post duty towards the end of
the war.
Better Than Nothing-
A good old Methodist lady, very par
ticular aud very pious, once kept a
boarding-house in Boston. Staunch to
her principles, she wonld take no one to
board who did not hold to the race.
But the people were more intent on ear-
nal comforts than spiritual health, so
that in time her house became empty,
much to her grief and alarm.
After some time a bluff old sea cap
tain knocked at the door, and the old
lady answered the call.
“Servant, ma’am. Can you give me
board for two or three days ? Got my
ship here and shall be off as soon as I
load.”
“Wa-al, I don’t know,” said the old
lady.
‘ Oh honse full, eh?”
“No, but—”
“But what, ma’am ?”
“I don’t take any unclean or carnal
people in my house. What do you be
lieve ?”
“About what ?’
‘Why, do you believe that any one
will be condemned ?’
“Oh, thunder! yea.”
“Do yon,” said the good woman,
brightening op. “Well, how many souls
doyou think will be in the fire eternally?’
“Don’t know, ma’am, really—never
calculated that.”
“Can’t you guess ?”
“Can’t say—perhaps fifty thousand.”
“Wa’al, hem !’ mused the good wo
man ; “I guess I’ll take you; fifty thou
sand is better than nothing.”
Doe* it Kean War.
From the New Orleans Picayune.]
The associated Press dispatch from
Washington in reference to the Caban
question, published in oar issue of yester
day morning, is of a pcculariy significant
nature. Its tone is semi-official, and it
bears evidence of authorization by the
President himself. Coupled with the re
cent strengthening of the North Atlantic
fleet, it points unmistakably to the| adop
tion of an active and aggiessive policy on
the part of our government. The tardi
ness of the administration in resorting to
this course is explained and excused on
the ground that the Spanish Government
has been in so unsettled a condition that
uninterrupted consideration of the ques
tions involved has been impossible. The
President, we are informed, regards the
independence of Cuba as the only certain,
and even the necessary, solution of the
difficulty. For several years the insur
gent patriots have continued the revolt.
The Spanish Government has had time to
suppress it, but not the power. In the
meantime the interests of our own coun
try have suffered materially. Our citi
zens have suffered insult and violence,
and, owing to our anomalous relations to
the contending parties, we have been able
to obtain redress and indemnity only with
great difficulty and after long delay.
The President, if we may rely on the
correctness of the dispatch, does not pro
pose to advocate the policy of annexation,
he desires only the recognition of Cuba as
an independent republic. ‘Possibly he ex
pects the island, after its independence
shall have been achieved, to seek volun
tarily the^ protection* of the American
Union.
The'prohable action of Spain in the
premises is still in doubt. Her policy
lias never been to relinquish her territory
at the suggestion of violence, or to yield
it at the offer of gold. “The King, my
master, is accustomed to conquer territo
ries and defend them at the point of the
sword ; hut sell them never 1” was the
answer of the haughty hidalgo to the Min
ister of the first Napoleon when he pro
posed to buy Louisiana from lii9 govern
ment in*order to sell it to the United
States. In accordance with this proud
policy. Louisiana was ceded to France
as a free gift, only with the understand
ing that it was to be ceded by France, in
lier turn to the United States. Consider
i ng, then, the temper of the Spanish peo
ple, and the fact that a very laree propor
tion of tlieir revenues are derived from
Cuba, we might he inclined to believe that
they will not part with that richposession
without a struggle. On the other hand, it
is to be remembered that money is essen
tial to the maintenance of war, and that
Spain is bankrupt and without credit.—
Further than that, site is already divided
and weakened by long-protracted civil
war.
In the event of a war with Spain there
is little doubt that we could speedly eject
her forces from the island, hut we would
be compelled to suffer very material in
jury to our commerce.
The agitation of this question just at
this juncture is suspected to he a shrewd
bid from General Grant for re-election.—
He thinks,'perhaps, that in the event of
war the people would prefer a soldier-
President.
