We mention the fact to show that perhaps our hun*.ble efforts to make a paper for the people are appreciated abroad.” Are the grangers to be led by the poli tician ? is a question that is being discussed in Georgia.

A man in Lunbenton went to bed recently, leaving his wife below reading, arid when she came up stairs an hour later lie shot, her dead, thinking she was a burglar doming to rob him. 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 ponents. everything vile and crmnmd « imputed to them, so that a sensrUv e man would be better off out of Congress than in it. 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 ed. with dramatic gesture. “Great God • another one of us gone. _ 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 of gooseberries.” "Bedad.” said the Irishman, “if & Yankee were cast away on a desert island, he’d begin selling maps to the inhabitants.” — Currant red is the new autum color. (OFPICK' BROIT.IITOY ST.,) Sanborn ItniliUiig. 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. After killing Mrs. Meyers little boy arid 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 modore Vanderbilt. “Shackle and chain him to the cowcatch er, Pontifex,” said Caesar, “he shall flag his own train.” Then pardoning Postmaster 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. Alas 1 for the liberties of the oppressed* down-trodden people!
