Congress. —The Philadelphia Korth
American says : The new Congress has
not yet met. It will not meet uintil De
cember. But by befouling the last Con
gress the professional reformers seek to
taint the new Congress through the many
old members who are re-elected and the
Senators Who hold over. The principal
offense or these men is that they are Re
publicans. In no aspect are they worse
than the majority of the Democratic Con
fess of former years. In many respects
they are far better. Under their auspi
ces the Republic has made immense pro
cess, mighty reforms have been accom
pUrifed, a« material prosperity
unprecedented. But becunse they*lTer
principle front others, or because they oc
cupy places that are coveted by them op

BAINBRIDC4E, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER 24, 1873.
Political Notes.
Rule or Ruin. —The following para*
graph from the Philadelphia Press, we
commend to the people of Virginia : “If
the Conservative press of Virginia should
preserve its present tone for a few months
longer, we would not be surprised to hear
of the organization of Ku Klux Klans in
that State, and of a condition of affairs
there similar to that now existing in a few
counties in Kentucky. Precisely the same
passions that ifispiyed the organization of
th Klan elsewhere in the South, are being
invoked in Virginia. Conservative papers
teem with appeals to the hatred by the
whites of the negroes, and with denuncia
tions of the latter. One result is inevita
ble, whatever else may happen—the emi
gration of the colored people to localities
more tolerant, and where the fact of their
former degradation wilt not every day be
thrust into their faces. It is possible,
however, that the people of Virginia are
more intelligent and have a better appre
ciation of the warits of their State than its
journals;”
Democracy Sinking.— Referring to the
statement of the St. Louis Republican
that tiie Democratic party has really ceas
ed to live as a national organization, and
that it is very unlikely that a Democratic
national ticket will bo iii the field in 1876,
the Philadelphia Ifoi’th American says
“It is fully warranted by the fact3. In
South Carolina and Mississippi no regular
Democratic tickets are run, and the lowa
State committee has issued an address an
nouncing that it has been deemed inexpe
dient there to make a seperate rally. In
New York, tlic Democratic Convention is
called under the name of Democratic Re
publican. In parts of the South the
opposition is called simply ‘conservative.’
No Democratic party as such exists at all
at the South. If this is not practical dis
solution it is something very much like it,
and if, as the World say3, the present cam
paign is merely a review to enable the
Democratic managers to know their force,
it must be a niost discouraging one to
them.
Surrendered —And now that staunch
old Democratic sheet, the Clinton (Iowa)
Aye, gives up the ship. It says : “Who
knows, if a straight Democratic ticket was
put in the field, but it might win ? Alas
who will ? A portion of the Democratic
executive committe have issued an address,
which will be found m another column. It
is a fill'd production, but hardly necessary
after that funeral oration. This advising
a corpse to get up and vote is worse than
Carpenter’s panegyric on the “skeleton in
a crib.” The fact is that too many
dead things have been dragged into this
canvas to make; it a livfi otieV'
Dough Faced. —The Missouri Republi.
can understands the &a*d pel fectly. That
paper, which was the originator of the .pos
sum policy of last fait, stieeriiigly declares
that “Democracy lias got to nieail different
things in different places, preparatory to
meaning nothing in all places,” and then
takes a savage whack at the party in Pen
sylvania for not having the courage to
adopt the Ohio* platform pure ami
without emasculating it into impotency.
Jonah?.— TKff portl<irid (Me.) Press thus
discourses oil the remnant of Democracy :
1. ~ r;
(‘The old leaders are the Jonahs on the
Democratic ship; and no political craft can
make a successful voyage Under their con
trol. They are obnoxious to the country
and no party can succeed that allows them
to appear in its conventions or take part
in its councils. They are political outcasts
who can never again retrieve their lost for
tunes. The only place for them is on the
back seats, and sO far back that they will
never again be seen or heard.”
Vigilance, —The Utica Herald closes a
thoughtful and timely article urits :
“The danger to the Republican party is
over-confidence. The magnificient majori
ty of last fall may be lost if the State con
vention neglects or is careless of its duty.
The only claims for nomination entitled to
consideration are purity, honesty and integ
rity. Tlfe tickets must command success
by its excellence. The people Will trot be
satisfied with medicority or negative virtues
Candidates must be prominent, well-known
and not need introduction to the part}'.’’
Butler.— The Golden Age draws this
sketch of General Butler : “Nine-tenths of
our present race of public men use tlicir
positioti to make money ; General Butler
uses his to gain distinction. He wants to
stand well with his countrymen. He wants
to be President. He has too much sense
to steal, even if he had no moral monitor
Nor does he ever shrink from the
full .open and avowed responsibility of his
own words and acts. He is a statesman*
not of an etherial type, but Combines in
about ecffrid measure the brawny merits of
Charles James Fox and Thaddera Ste
verrs.”
The Pip.—The “Rural World’’ says that
a mixture of about one tablespoonful of
soot and one-fourth as much sulphur, with
sufficient lard to form a paste, has been
fourid an effectual remedy for this disease.
Tearing off the pip—the horney pellicle
that grows on the end of the tongue —is
useless, as the disease, at that stage, is too,
far advanced to be cured by the operation-
The Republican Party.
There are people who are so ignorant of
the political history of the country as to
deny the truth of the assertion that the
Republican party is the party of progress
and the natural friend of the laboring class.
They do not know that it hgd its birth in
the necessities of the earlier days of the
settlement of the great. Northwest. It
was at a time when the Democratic en
croachment threatened that new and un
developed country with the sickening and
deadly blight of slavery. The prospect was
desperate. The frontiersmen—those habi
tual out pasts and advanced guards of new
civilization—had gone farther West than
Wisconsin and lowa, but had left behind
them some of the rough habits and cus
toms for which the dangers and privations
ot life on the borders were to if great extent
responsible. Their successors, who became
actual and permanent settlers, were nearly
all poor in worldly goods, though rich in
determination to build themselves into
power and surround themselves with the
comforts of the hordes from, which they
had been driven or had voluntarily (mi
grated in thejerowded communities ot the
East. They were, in these respects, not
less venturesome than the people who had
preceded them, but the latter were of a
different type. Both classes were carpet
baggers and adventurers, but the habitual
frontiersmen—of whom it is said the sight
of snioka curling heavenwards from the
chimney of another cabin than their own
oppressed them with a sensation of crowd
ed room—hailed from the mountains of
Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee*
The actual settlers, some of whom yet sur
vive, arid whose children now enjoy the
homes and luxuries for which their fathers
toiled, instinctively banded themselves to
gether for the purpose of battling ttie en
croaching influences of an effete and aris
tocratic sham civilization- Thus the priti
clples of the Republican pariy took firm
root in soil which has never failed to nur
ture them, and it has grown into propor
tions and power which have enabled it to
crush that effete aristocracy oil tlic bidedy
field of battle, and to control the greatest
Government on the face of the globe. It
was founded on the dignity and respecta
bility of labor, and in opposition to the
aristocratic pretensions ot slave-owners and
slave-drivers. It has been true to these
antecedents, and to-day preserves these
traditions with pertinacious earnestness.
From the hour sis its birth it has been the
careful nurse of progressive ideas, and has
nurtured the germs of progressive thought
into matured strength and capable develop
ment. The people of the South, hitherto
blinded by sectional hate, and prejudiced
against the party by the cry of “Abolition
ist.” are beginning to understand and ap
preciate these facts. They are no longer
led by the fallacious reasonings of the old
Br'vfrbon Democracy, but begin to think for
themselves, and the result of their thought
is an effort to reconcile the natural and
honest impulses of their minds with the
teachings of their old leaders. Failing to
do this, they strike oi J t for themselves,and
finally sssunie that independent manhood
which only finds congenial surroundings in
the ranks of the Republican party. The
scales fall from their eyes, and they view
political affairs in a’different light. They
acknowledge th'e errors of the past, and
remembering that their former teachers led
them into blunders from which arose civil
strife, bloodshed and devastation, do not
hesitate to proclaim their adherence to the
newer, and to them novel, ideasof modern
progress- In this way, year after year, the
party is gaining strength. Its principles
are eternal as the hills from which they
are announced and front which they echo
and re-echo with reverberations that re
sound throughout, the land, kindling the
fire of hope in the breasts of the poor, and
guaranteeing prosperity, education a.7
comfort to people of every class.
Every I>ay Maxims.
Remember that every person, however
low. has rights and feelings. In all con
tentions. let peace be rather your object
than triumph; value triumph only a? too
means of peace.
When you meet with neglect, let it
arouse you to exertion; instead of mortify
ing your pride, set about lessening these
defects which expose you to the neglect,
and improve those excellencies which com
mand attention and respect.
If vou desire the people to treat you as a
gentleman, you must conduct yourself as a
gentleman should to them.
Do not attempt to frighten children and
inferiors bv passion. It does more harm
to your own character than it does good to
them. The same thing is better done by
firmness and persuasion.
Find fault, when you must find fault, in
private, if possible, and some time after
the offense rather than at the time. The
blamed are less inclined to resist when
thev are blamed without witnesses.
Keep up the habit of being respected,
and do not attempt to be more amusing
and agreeable than is consistent with the
preservation cf respect.
It is told of one of the “supes who re
moves chairs from the stage ofaTroy thea
tre with great effect that on the death of
Edwin Forrest- being announced to him*
while standin g on a hotel stoop, he exclaim

_ Notes for Farmers.
Bees Swarming. —A sure way to pre
vent bees from going to the woods when
they come out and alight, is to get. a
pail half full of cold water from the well;
take a broom-brush and dip it in the water,
and throw it up over the bees, and it will
come down on them like fine rain, then
hiv e them in the usual way, and sprinkle
them while going iii, and sprinkle the
ground around the hive, to Cool the air; in
fifteen or twenty minutes do it again, and
continue it until the day is cooler; keep
the hive in the shade. There is uo lieed
of having any bees go to the woods—not
at all. I had over forty sWarms fast Rum
mer, and saved all by sprinkling thorn.
The bee journals tell of men who ihake
artificial swamis, arid yet, h*vo bees go to
the woods : there is no need of this if you
vise cold Water. “But,” says ofle“my frees
- to J ' woods without alighting.” I don’t
dispute it in the least; but during the
thirty--five years that I h’dve kept bees, I
have never had a swarm, come out and go
to the woods without alighting first; and
1 am sum in saying that I have hived a
tlioesar 1 swarms. Bees soirietinies come
out an ilscovered, and after a while start
for the woods, and are seen on the second
start.— Rural JYcw Yorker.
Paints for Rough Buildings. —Take
two ounces of sal-ammoniac and two ounces
of potash ; dissolve these iii three quarts
of water ; tlieii add one quart raw linseed
oil; tiled take, say teii pounds dry red paint
(that was what we used) and add water
enough to make it thin enough td put on
with a whitewash-brush (re used fish pickle)
Add oiie gill turpentine to the linseed oil.
If red does not suit, add anything to alter
the color. We used paint made as above
on rough buildings twelve years ago, and
it is almost or quite as bright as when we
put it on. To make the building look well,
you want to paint the corner boards with
white-lead and oil.— Country Gentleman.
Dry Food for Horses. —The “Spirit of
tlie Times” says: “We never have believ
ed and never shall believe that chopped
hay and corn meal saturated with water
is proper for a working horse as a general
diet. We firmly believe that the food of
a working horse who cannot be pastured,
should be good sound oats and sweet hay
for at leat five days a week. Look at tho
South, Where the common run of working
horses are fed on corn. What is found
there ? Why, the big-head, a terrible and
almost incurable complaint. We also think
that wet corn is the very worst way
of feeding corn to a horse that evel- was
practiced. And the chopped, wet hay is
not half so good as fine bright Timothy
from the mow. We like to hear the horse
grinding up his good Timothy hay, like a
grist mill, after he has finished his oats. A
nice mash once in a.while is good, and a
very different thing from almost constant
soft diet:’
Chicken Cholera. —The following is
recommended as an infallible remedy:—
“When the disease iriakes its appearance,
take fish oil and grease the chicken well on
the back, neck and under the wing. It
doe3 not require much oil to grease a large
flock, and if this is attended to promptly,
you will have no cholefa. All or nearly
all, chickens that have the cholera are
covered with "lice, which produces the dis
ease. These the chickens eat. This remedy
has never failed to stop the disease where
it has been tried. It is worth a trial by
those who have chickens suffering from
this disease.
Lice On Fowls.— James H. Fry, of
Palatka, Florida, writing the “Pet-Stock
Pigeon and Poultry Bulletin,” says that
the steins of tobacco, mixed with hay in
tii. 1 L—. r i fowls, will effectually rid a set.
tin. heii of this troublesome verriiin. Our
poultry-vaLors will do well to remember
this, a:. d put tobacco iu all their laying
places.
Cos B: \7-.iihea. —“Scours in cllick
i- . ev Aby giving milk, narni,
that has coon scorched with a red-hot iron.
It is good, also, in checking looseness in
the bowels of calves and colts, as well as
in the human family.”
Imaginary evils soon become real
ones by indulging our reflections on
them; as he who in a melancholy
fancy sees something like a face on
the wall or the wainscot, can, by two
or three touches with a lead-pencil,
niake it look visible, and agreeing
with what he fancied.— Swift
Like a morning dream, life be
comes more and more bright the
loc’ger we live, and the reason Os
everything appears more clear.—
What has puzzled us before seems
less mysterious, and the crooked
paths look sferaighter as we approach
the end.— Richter:
The dying words of a Delaware
woman were: “Henry, if yoii marry
again, remember that it only takes a
cupful of sugar ta sweeten a quart

Eli Perkins on Cnesarism.
Eli Perkins has found the humorous, o r ,
r atlier, burlesque, side of Ciesarism, and
presents it to his readers as follows;
To the Editor of the Daily Graphic',
Ciesar the tyrant moved down from Lake
George under the cover of last night’ll
darkness, and captured Saratoga. He was
occompariied by Mrs. Cmsar, Miss Nellie
Cajsar, two little Casspp, and a few attend
ing minions. bound id chains,
others, iriclridingGritierai Pantifex Mom
ents Babcock, had blood-marks on their
faces ami armor. Several kelJUds appear
ed in front with lances, while a crowd of
captives in iron cages were left in the
depot.
As tl'O iinpeHai party' ifiovod up the
steps of Congress Hall, the bloodthirsty
President was noticed to wear a tin crown
set with diamonds; also sandals. The peo.
pie generally fled with fear and consterna
tion. General Babcock was ordered to
capture General Banks or Senator Fenton,
and bring them before the insatiate tyrant
who instantly cut off their heads. Reverdy
Johnson, being blind iu one two, remained’.
Caisar advanced toward him, scowled
through the eye-iioles in his helmet, and
remarked, as he seized him by the hair:
“Old slave,” sez he, “vein vide, visigh
cum dig the talers!”
“ Visigh versa, non posi edihi later,,”
replied Mr. Johnson in the dead languages.
Pdntifex Maximus Babcock and the
execution'As new seized the ex-Renator;
with several hundred women and Children>
and led them into the royal presence, when
the cruel tyrant put out their eyes arid
threw them up the eave-spout with his
owii hands.
Oti entering the dining room, at the
sound of the trumpet, Caesar ordered all thy
plates uncovered in honor of his presence.
Then, while turning his imperial glapce s
upon the colored waiters, he ordered tile in
to throw tlie guests out of the windows.
At the same time he directed Robert
Jackson, the head waiter, to kneel at his
feet, while Pontifex Maximus placed up'oii
his head a laurel crown. Then the tyrant
struck him with a spear eight times say
ing:
“I, Catsar, pronounce and Appoint you
King of the Cannibal Islands and Consul
to"the infei-nat city of Chicago)”
~Qusque, tandem abuterepatient ia nosira
0! Caesar?” remarked Congressman Hot
harn, kneeling and wringing liis KarMs.
• “Arise, O, Conscript Father; I can not
'end you $4,” replied Caesar, cutting off liis
legs and arms, and hiving his in the warm
blood.
This morning, after Cresar, the little
Cassars and Mrs. Cresar had devoured seve
ral children for breakfast, the royal tyrant
ordered Pontifex Maximus Babcock to put
William Leland in irons, pump Congre33
Spring dry, and seal it up with sealing vfai;
and then he put on his breast-plate and
armor, and, armed with a cross-bow, pro
ceeded to the Indian encampment.
“Bind Fornado Wood and Governor.
Warmouth to yonder tree, I would shoot
at a mark,” ordered his Imperial Highness
when drawing the bow, he shot fifty or sixty
arrows through Fernado Wood and Mr.
Warmouth. Discovering Wr. W. S. Groes
beck, who had climbed up a tree to get
out of his reach, Caesar shot thirty-six ar
rows through him, and then ordered the tree
to be cut down. However, Mr. Grosebeck
made his escape—an arrow escape. lie
fled—the arrows sticking in him—to Spals
ton Spa, where he now exhibits himself as
St. Sebastian in the daytime and lets him
self out as a hat-rack of nights.
Returning to the Imperial palace, Caesar
ordered his chariot, price 84, and was driven 1
over to Cedar Bluff, on the lake. At the
sound of the trumpet Mrs. Meyers appeared
“Kill and instantly cook, on the gridiron
a tin pan full of block bass, woman, or die,’’
shouted Caesar. He also remarked that
people would live longer in that house if
they brought—instantly brought—a basin’
full of stewed potatoes.
The potatoes were brought.

cutting the throat of the bar tender, the ty
rant ret urned to the royal palace—price 85-
and ordered Gov. Dix to produce Com

Judson, and ordering the convicts in Sara
toga jail set free, the bloodthirsty tyrant
smote his breast, bit off a woman’s cat,
placed hi3 left heel ori Mayor Mitchell’s'
neck, and left for Long Branch with his
galley slaves and bloody cohorts.
