Kendrick requested the Ma con Telegraph to publish a “vindication” of himself, which he had written and pre pared for the press. That venerable old white haired journal, after carefully eras ing the moisture from its specks, said "no.” We regard this decision ns fortu nate for both Kendrick and grandma Tel- <graph, for, about the time that column of “vindication” hud been completed, some country editor would luive thrown a brick and knocked a hole in it large enough to drive a band wagon through. Mr. Blaine has escaped. The decision df the Judiciary Committee is that his illness and his resignation from the House p-movc him for the time from its jurisdic tion. Thus ends the contest bet ween con cealment and exposure, leaving Mr. Blaine jn a worse position than when he opened lib career of equivocation. Pity for his sufferings under the illness produced by constant struggle and anxiety cannot af fect tlio stern popular judgment upon ihe m .-,n who blustered and bullied up to tiie moment of his pusillanimous flight. We are sick enough of so much talk from the Radio d press about “the old flair.” A party that would deliberately pul) down the American flag and substi tute a miserably filthy “bloody shirt” in it-; stead, had better dry up about the old The Democratic party is the only party that wears the stars and stripes now.

Brooks county is having plenty of rain. Old John Robinson’s Circus is making its way Southward. The health of this section of Georgia is excellent. Never better. Col. Virgil Powers has resigned tiie Superintendency of the Southwestern Railroad. Quitman can boast of several tempe rance organizations. The freight and accommodation train on tiie Atlantic & Gulf Railroad between Albany and Thomasville,has been discon tinued. This is a sample of the electioneering wads shot by the Colquitt organs; ‘When General Colquitt was ordered to fall back during the battle of Olustee, his reply was, “send me more ammunition.” And so the fight went on, and the victory was won.’ Tiie regular old Western grasshoppers are in ana around Atlanta, playing the mischief with all manner of vegetation.

In Savannah, on Saturday last, as we learn from the Noes, “Mr. I W. Moore, at a distance of sixteen paces, shot from tiie mouth of Constable Frank P. Fox, a pipe, twice in succession.

It is either unity or Radi cal success. Choose between them. The Waycross Headlight says that the Okef nokee has been dry ever since it was explored. Mr. Willie Evans, of Thomasville, is dead.

At that time Mr. G. little dreamed that he was capturing a man who would become so prominent in the politics *of the country.

It is strictly an independent and secret society but we learn that the first resolution adopted by them reads, “Therefore, be it resolved that ladies have as much right to go in sinming as gentlemen.” We admire independence in ladies. We want to join that society as an honorary member, and hereby present this as our petition. Quitman Reporter: On last Thursday morning a negro liviug in the vicinity of the railroad bridge known as the “Little Wash,” about a mile West of the Depot, came to town and reported that there was a dead man in the water under the bridge. Sheriff Thrasher immediately proceeded to the place, ami pulled the body out, when it was found to he that of William McLaughlin, who had left- town in a state of intoxication the after noon before. Tne Clay county democracy has this to sav: Resolved, That Xve feel under obli gations of no ordinary kind to the Hon Thomas Hardeman, jr., of Bibb, the pure self-sacrificing patriot, who at all times and upon ail occasions, in prosperity and in adversity, in the midst of gloom and defeat, in joy and triumph, lias towered above ali the champion of right, and has devoted his time and his money to Geor gia and Georgia’s honor, who in the last trying hour, lias been weighed in the balance and not found wanting, hut wi*h a magnanimity almost unparalleled, and a devotion to his country worthy the ancient Sparton, has retired from a contest in which he had many followers; Ulus giving to the World and posterity an example of true greatness of mind and genuine patriotism, which should witf for Him the undying love and admiration of his fellow countrymen. THE TWO FLAGS. The Democratic parly is marching under the starry, banner of a reconciled Republic, fraternal and free. The Republican party marches under the banner of I lie bioody shirt. There is no question as to vvlii h flag is preferred by the people of the restored Republic. Tiny have had enough gore, of misrepresentation, of angry and tumul tuous conflict. They .emand peace and order, prosperity and law. The bloody shirt is the ensign of the brigand. Tiie desperadoes who carry it have lobbed.the South of many millions of dollars, and the Republic of millions more. And by their plots and conspira cies, they have set the rabble of the South quarreling with each oilier; and then used the eonsequencies of tbeir own villainies to fire the Northern heart into perpetuat ing their power to plunder the people. Governor Tilden will preserve law- abiding liberty, will maintain orderly pro gress, with Jacksonian firmness At the same time he will clean out the pestiferous I ro >d of public plunderers who have sto len the people poor. Hold high aloft the Flag of the Free; push forward the standard of the avenger of thieves ! As Gen. Kilpatrick truly remarked at the Cooper Institute meeting, the Republican party has no apologies to offer. There can be no apology for a record of insolent anil persistent thieve ry—no apology for Roberson, Belknap, Delano, Babcock, Shepherd and the rest of them.—[N Y. Sun. Heavy Fixe—In the United States Dis trict Court at Sew York, on Tuesday. Judge Benedict sentenced Dr. E. B. Foote to pay a fine of $3,000 for sending improper publica tions through the mail. He was liable to teu year’s imprisonment, but owing to certain mitigating circumstances, this part of the sentence was suspended. At Philadelphia a number of Orange men who had participated in the parade Wednesday congregated in a lager beer saloon at Ninth and Vine streets at night. They became involved in a- quarrel, and four men were killed. All gamblers are Democrats, says the National Republican. Let's see, when did our late Minister to England and the man the President wanted to make United Slates Treasurer join the Democratic party*—Hes ton Post.

N$ bells toll out a nation’s sorrow. No tears are sh.ed for its fate. No regret fills any human heart. Joy and gladness are the results of its decease. The muffled drum pealed cut no sad requium. The happy hand-Clapping of a people i^tnk with joy ara bearA^, No gaartte* pi Vert their co'nr-ugjeui#*.^)^) ” are decorated with no sable tapcJSjy. No human heart saddens at its fall. What ! does nothing mourn * When Nero, the despot of Rome, fell beneath as just a doom as ever the de stroyer yet destroyed, some unseen hand, unheeding the roars of a freed populace yet echoing upon the air, strewed flowers upon the tyrant’s grave. Ah, surely no thing dies hut something mourns. But no mourners are found for this death. In life it was all glorious and all-pouferful. I's glory was the glitter of vice ; it* pow er the force of ignorance. Its kingdom was as limitless as tiie land. Corruption was its diadem ; coercion its sceptre of might. Avarice and fraud were its min isters of state ; ignorance and passion were its henchmen. The crown has been removed from the brow it fitted so well ; the sceptre lias crumbled from its nerve less grasp. The great King is dead- His acts have been many and great ; they are numbered with the past. The reward of his actions shall he a nation’s detestation, and for his fame the record shall be the “Immortality of Infamy.” The united strength of an injured people lias rolled the huge carcass from its seat of power. Its breathings are hushed ; its all-evil arm is pulseless and impotent now. It smiled on crime and protected fraud, even as the sire protects tiie offspring. * It elevated ignorance and dealt out blow after blow fatal to the triumphs of intelligence. But to-day the voice of an almost ruined and determined people pronounced the death sentence, and it sinks into oblivion. The colosul form of Tilden appears upon the scene. The hammer of reform is in his hand ; its ringings are heard up on the National forge, and sounds the knell of Radicalism. He strikes off our chains and letters °*4 v *‘k' vrties are heart a bright fl-tmA. 'fe the fire of love—love for nr^-SJuttrjf, her honor, and her right. Ignorance must fly to her native caverns of darkness and intelligence again occupy her legitimate sphere. Shamed corruption must muffle her brazon face, and the votaries ot tile dead king fiee the hurtlings of a people’s rage. Reform is our ruler and our kiug ; the hearts of a nation exult in V-ve la Royl Yes, Mr. Editor, the hydra-headed (non ster is dead ; its life is extinct. iThe beatings of its heart are stilled. The rec ord of its life will stand ; we will not re late its actions here, for “noble spirits war not with the dead.” Let the dark cloud of oblivion settle around and hide it as totally as a nation’s anger has swepi it from earth. But who is this Reformer that Comes in triumph, bourn'* by the people with shouts of gladness ? The welling patriot heart exclaims, “Our Hope !” ^ Yes, our hope of peace ; our hope .of prosperity ; our hope of National honor ; our hope of future sunshine : our hope of brotherly love ; our hope of penonal rights ; our hope of a purification of of fice-holders ; our hope of the advent of order ; our hope of the exit of crime. In him we see the grand hope of a return of those halcyion days that beamed their ra diance around us when the pure spirits of our Clays, our Jeffersons and our Taney’s shed the bright effulgence of their virtue upon our national councils, and b;ld in- viol te the sacred trust of the guardian ship of our rights. Yes, yes, in Samuel J. Tilden we truly see Oar Hope ! DeCatob. “HEARTY GRATITUDE AND COM MENDATION.” The Republican platform declares that the Administration merits commendation, and President Grant deserves hearty grat itude : Foi what ? For the Crooked Whiskey frauds. For the Leec and Stocking-Murpby custom house frauds. For the post-office straw bid frauds. For the navy contract frauds. For the Freedmen’s Saving Bank swin dle. For the Secret Service frauds—paying John I Davenport thousands of dollars f rom the people’s treasury to elect the Re publican ticket. For the Schenck Emma mine frauds and disgrace. For the Belknap soldier gravestone frauds. For the Belknap post trader frauds. For the District Ring “Boss Shepbeard frauds. For the Indian Ring fraud. For the Safe Burglary villainy and Bab cock and Harrington. For the Credit M< biller infamy. For the St. Domingo job. For “Landaulet” Williams and his in famy. For Casey, Orvil Grant and Company. For the fraud in the sale of arms to France. For corruption in every department of the Federal government. For increasing the salaries of the Presi dent and other public officers. For increasing the burdens of the tax payers, and blocking every effort at Re trenchment and Reform. These are some of the reasons why the people should commend the Republican Administration and remember President Grant with hearty gratitude, and stat^/y Hayes and Wheeler.— Albany Argu* THE EPISTLE OF ST- RUBE TO THE REPUBLICANS. THE PARABLE OF THE PRETTY FOOT. 1. And it came to pass in the last year of the reign of Elyses, the son of Jesse, that these things did occur. 2. There was a valiant Captain of the tribe of Belknap which dweiteth in the regions of Iowa, who was a mighty man of valor. 3- Yea, verily he did smell the battle afar off, aud longed to plunge into the thickest of the carnage, but was*always prevented from doing so when the rebels appeared in the field, by some duty at home. 4. Now Belknap was a man after Uly- ses’ own heart, for it was not written that fllyses sprang up like a mushroom in the night ? Yea, like a mushroom sprang he up. 5. For Ulyses, the son of Jesse, sold his cordswood and filled himself full of jugorum, and became a spectacle to the people of St. Louis, who dwell beyond the father of waters. 6. But when the blast of war blew in his ears, then rose he up and sent forth his valiant soldiers by millions, who put to flight the hosts of Jeff—the F. F. V’s, the Tar Heels, the Gauleers, the Butter nuts, the Sand Hillers, the Dagoes, and all they that dwell south of Mason and Dixon’s line 7. Then came forth Ulysses the son of Jesse, from his seat, at.d the smoke of the weed went forth from his nostrils, aud his nose was red with the fumes of fire water and he said let us have peace. 8. Now the people of Yankeedoodle- dunt rej need exceedingly, and proclaimed Ulyses, tiie son of Jesse, the Great Higlt- cockalorum, to rule over the land of Un cle Samuel for the period of four years. 9. And Ulysses went into the White House and surrounded himself with ail manner of plunderers, who gave unto hint a portion of the spoils they had taken from the people of the land of America. 10. And Ulysses, the son of Jesse, re fused not the horses and the houses aud the lands and the other good things that were offered unto him by the bribers and plunderers, save the bull pup sent by ex press, C. O. D., which Ulysses would not take until all the charges were paid. Se- >kfc. 11. Mofeover, Babfooster, the scribe of Ulysses, tiie son of Jesse, divided the spoils of the crooked whiskey with the St. Louisters, and gave not unto Ulysses a portion thereof ; whereat Ulyses waxed wroth and bounced Bab ; yea, in his an ger did he bounce him from beneath the roof of the White House. 12. And it came to pass that Belknap the mighty map of va'or, did take to him self a beautilul damsel in the land of Ken tucky, of the tribe of Tomlinson ; hut the Lord took her away as he did mourn ex cecdingly. 13. And it came to pass that the sister of the damsel, who was a widow with a wonderful pretty foot did cleave unto ike valiant captain, that she might comfort him ; but the Lord waxed wroth that such a sin should be done hr. fore the peo ple of the nation, and g.eat was the pun ishment of Belknap. 14. For the Lord caused Ulyses, the son of Jesse, to appoint Belknap his Scribe of War, which honor turned the bead of his spouse who had the pretty foot, and who was as poor as a church mouse in the beginning. 15. But now sue yearned for the green- bax, wherewith she might buy the shod dy, the brown stone, the chariot, the glit tering bracelets, and all that trash that is so much sought after by the upstarts who do sojourn in the capital of the nation. 16. Moreover, she wanted to give big dinners, and would not be outgone by the Fish, nor the flesh, nor the foul, tn an en tertainment that aboundeth in the city where lie who maketli the greatest show in worship. 17. Bui the pretty spouse with the pretty foot had not the greenbax where with to purchase these things, and she urged her husband that he might sell the post-tradeships to the frauds who swin dled the poor Indians out of their lands and their lives. 18. And William did. 19. Whereupon he sank into the Marsh of despair, and the rejoicing of the widow with the pretty foot is turned into lamen tations ; Ulysses, the son of Jesse, hath bounced him, an all the lunchers have eaten up the greer-bax that the post-tra ders yielded ; yea, like a swarm of grass- hopers have they devoured all and flown way like the wind. 20. But the people do clamor to have the matter investigated, and punish all the persons who are concerned in this great itiquity ; not even Ulysses, the son of Jesse, who takelh presents, and bribes, i and who drinketh the rum that is in the j jug behind the White House door, and i smoketh the weed of the devil, and who driveth the chariots furiously with the bull pup underneath the dust thereof. 21.

Mrs. Hayes read in silehce for A few moments ; then, with a wild surprise, as it appeared to your correspondent, who had. with true journalistic instinct, concealed himself beneath the breakfast table. »aid : “Why, Ruthy, what do yob mean by saying ‘the resolutions are in accord with my views ?’ You know as well as [ do that when the platform was adopt ed you told me yourself that the money plank wasn’t a match with your inter view iD the Commercial.” “Hu.h! my love, bush I” said the Governor, with uneasiness; “suppose some of the servants should overhear you. What I wrote was, ‘Most of the resolutions are in accord with my views, and I suppose the printers made a mis take.” There was silence, broken only by the munching of toast, till the teapot was set down with a violence that made the table crockery jump. Then Mrs. Hayes’ low flute-like tones, . as full of melody as the murmur of a hidden brook, were heard. ‘Rutherford, you say : 'If elected, I shall conduct the administration of the Government upon those principles, and all constitutional powers vested in the executive will be employed to estab!i>h this reform.’ Can you sit in that chair and look me in the face after writing that ? Didn’t you promise me about Brother Peter and Cousin Webb, and your nephew Edward and Aunt Jeru- sha's three boys, and all the family? What did I hear you tell Mr. Schurz about Madrid ? Why did Mr. Blaine telegraph you that if he had the De partment of the Interior he would not prove a dead-head in the enterprise, and to burn the letters, so there couldn’t be ■tny more Mulliganing? Whai did you write to Ah. Cameron ? What did you j promise Chandler ? And after all this togo and write--" “But. my angel,” expostulated the compromise candidate, “I didn’t write it. I shall make a point of telling Si mon that he put that too strong. But these letters are only matters of fo m ; they don’t mean anything.” ‘•Oh. they don’t, don’t they?” repli ed Mrs. Hayes, with, as the reporter inferred, a sarcastic smile. ”1 eupr o;o Mr. Hayes, this doesn’t mean anything, either, where y;-u eouie out for a siugie presidential term ? I suppose, Mr. Haven, you didn't mean anything when you told Mr. Crornble to try and find a good tenant for the house for eight years from next March ? I suppose you didn’t mean anything when you ran three times for Governor aud twice for Congress ?” “But.

I told them beforehand, ‘Write what you please and sign my name to it, bu* don’t say anything decided.” There was silence for some time, un til Mrs. Hayes remarked: “Rutherford Birchard Hayes, didn’t you say last year that this school ques tion was ali poppycock, and that the General Government hasabout as much business to pass an amendment about the school fund as it had to declare that you shouldn’t eat beans on Monday. And look at what yo i say here.” “Madame.” was the reply of the Gov ernor, in a tone full of suppressed pas sion, “yon will not understand me. I am just as responsible for that d—d letter (here Mrs. Hayes put her tiny, snowy, perfectly-molded fingers to her shell-like, pink tipped ears, ornamented with eimple but priceless soltaire dia mond earrings) as I am for the Ten Commandments !
