[Will S. Hays’ National Campaign Song and
Chorus.]
Come al l ye jolly Democrats, let each man raise
his voice;
The time has come for every man to let his
heart rejoice;
We’ll gather round the go#d old flag, with
hearts both true and warm.
And give three honest rousing cheers for Til

Three cheers for Tilde n, three for Hendricks,

Stand by the good old flag, the red, white and

Three cheers for Tilden, three for Hendricks,

Stand by the good old flag, the red, white and
blue.
Como let ns live as once we lived—obey our
country’s laws,
The constitution as it is, the union as it was;
We’ll take the Democratic ship and bravely
face the storm,
And land her safe in port again, with Tilden
and Reform.
Come, strike now, while the iron’s hot. Ite

The work of honest government has earnestly
begun;
Let’s shout aloud to all the world, and give
the wild alarm
To let them know the people are for Tilden
and Reform.
Come rally round the same old flag, that won
the world’s applause,
W heu Jackson fought at New Orleans, and
honest men made laws;
Unchain the bird of liberty to sour above the
storm,
God bless our country, let us shout for Tilden
anc Reform.
Come, now’s the time, ’twere better for we all
sleep in our graves
Ilian to submit to men who’ve made us nothing
but their slaves ;
Let liberty lift up her eyes to Heaven and
raise her arm
And say, “Thank God, the country’s safe”
through Tilden and reform.

EASTMAN. DODGE COUNTY, GEORGIA, NOVEMBER 2, 1876.
Written for the Times,]
A HENPECKED HUSBAND,
BY DR. SWORE.
Lott AtoLa urine keeps a small store
at a station below here. He hasn’t
been married long, and any one can
imagine the extent of Lou’s connubial
bliss ly the following that passed be
tween he and his ‘woraer half’ a short
time ago, just as he and I got into
the house. I was travelling and
stopped with Lou that night, ho and
1 being old friends. lie was very
tired from the laborious duty of wri
ting letters all day to his brother-in
law and others about his fine deer
liunts and his books being ‘kept in
fine style, etc.’ I might add, by the
way, that Lou makes great preten
sions to religion, and besides being
always fatigued, he is a natural liar.
Indeed, he can tell more lies in less
time than any other map in Tennessee.
Lou married the olushing and
blooming, and accomplished Ilallie
Hall, of Virginia, and for about six
months after Lou was the happiest
fellow imaginable. Soon, however,
everything began to go to rack, owing
to Lou’s laziness, about their beautiful
cottage. Rabbits eating np the veg-
Übks in the garden, the back gate
down, and a big hole in the top of the
house that wet everything when it
rained.
The height of Lou’s ambition was
to buy something on a credit and sell
the same way to any one that wanted
to purchase. It was this state ot af
fairs when T stopped with Lou to stay
the night with him, and the following
occurred during the evening :
‘Lou, lias that old Frank Brown
been in the store to-day V
*Yes, Hal lie.’
‘What did he get V
‘Nothing.’
‘YOU are a Story, Mil. .m>vv ton rno
what you sold him on a credit, sir ?
‘I didn’t sell him anything on a
credit. He took a well bucket that
1 ordered for him from Nashville.’
‘Did lie pay lor it V
‘Yes.’
‘Lot me see the money.’
‘Well, Ilallie, you are always kick
ing up the devil about something I'll
just be snatched if I aint going to
turn over everything to you, and I’ll
leave. I’ve been wearing this shirt
two weeks, and you’ve hid my shav
ing tools, and I look like the smoke
stack of a shingle mill. 1 wish I was
dead !’
‘Yes, kicking up the devil, am I,
you good for nothing, lazy, scaly
headed son of that stingy old mother
of yours! Turn over everything to
me, and you’ll go, go ! You are too
lazy to go and cut wood enough to get
breakfast. Who would notice you if
you did go ? If a right good looking
monkey had your brains he would be
an idiot. A clean shirt; who ever saw
you with one on. I know what you
want, sir, that old Martha Harrison
has come down here from Nashville.
Now just console yourself with what
you’ve got on til she leaves, and just
let me hear of your speaking to her,
and vou say shirt or anything else
again to-night, and Pll uot kick up
the devil, but kick the laziest, dirtiest
old ground hog’ in Law 1 coco county*
down the back steps.’
Just here I felt that a crisis was
near, and beat a hasty retreat, and 1
heard faintly reverberating through
the trees, ‘Oh, don’t Hallie.’
I obtainwd lodging near by r for the
night, and l dreamed a long hideous
dream. I dreamed I was married,
and my name was Lou, and every
time I lav down the awful Ilallie
would pou* strbng lye soap in my
ears and moitb and all over me, and
then would commence the most vig
orous use of a Carry comb that ever
mortal saw. \
When I awoke I vowed I would
always be what I wretched and
alone.

Cheering News.
1 he National Democratic Commit tcc
received nearly tw„ thousand five
hundred letters and dispatches last
week. A letter from Oregan says
that Tilden and Hendricks clubs have
been organized in two hundred and
one towns in that sparsely settled
j State. The Secretary of the State
Democratic Committee of Indiana
writes : “We are going to give Til
den and Hendricks fifteen thousand
majority in the Presidential election.* 1
From California
THE TIDINGS ARE VERY CHEERFUL.
A prominent Democrat in Ohio
says : “All the fellows who were on
the fence are jumping off on the Dem
ocratic sida.“ The Democrats of Con
necticut are very active, and the same
may be said of “Little Ithody.“ A
gentleman who has travelled consid
erably in Pennsylvania, and made
speeches in many of the towns and
villages, says the Democrats have a
good chance of
CARRYING THAT STATE,
notwithstanding the frauds in the reg
istry and at the polls which the Re
publicans will be sure to practice.
Hundreds of lence men in Pennsylva
nia, also, are jumping off on the Dem
ocratic side. There will be large
Democratic gams in Wisconsin and
Michigan, So far as New York is
concerned, there is no doubt that she
will go Democratic by
A VERY LARGE MAJORITY.
Among betting men Wagers on the
result in the Empire State are made
three to one in favor of the Democrats.
Letters from the South speak with
great indignation of the action of the
Grant Administration in sending sol
diers /Smith to sustain Republicanism
there at the point of the bayonet.
The Bayonet the Last Hope of Bad-
A Washington special says reports
are in circulation in that city that the
South Carolina policy of the adminis
tration is to be applied to the States
of Mississippi and Louisiana, and per
haps other States of the South. Some
time ago the Republican managers
gave up loth Mississippi and Louisia
na to the Democrats, anil it was un
derstood that no serious fight would
be made br them in November. At
that time Indiana, New York, New
Jersey aid Connecticut were all con
fidently cciinted on as sure for Hayes
and Wheder, and it was supposed
that the Smith could be dispensed with
and Ilaye* still be elected The un
expected loss of Indiana and the al
most certain loss of New York, which
the Repub icans see is going for Til
den, have induced a change of policy,
arid the programme now seems to be
to make up for the loss of New York
by using the army to take possession
of at least lour or five ot the Southern
States. The same dispatch states that
the general feeling in official circles
in Washington is one of general and
increasing despondency in regard to
the election. |
Seeing For Two.
We saw a youngish negro man at
the Centennial the other day who was
very black and very stalwart, and he
spoke in a low mellow tone. He had
a rugged, uncouth, tut kind face, and
he was tenderly and carefully leading
about an old blind woman whom he
called mother. He stopped before
anything fhat interested him, and ex
plained it to her in a very curious and
graphic manner. llis attention was
arrested by a beautiful Cupid and
Pysche : “Dis is a white mammy and
her baby, and they have just no clo‘
onto ’em at all to speak of, and lie is
a kissin' of her like mischef, to be
shuah. I*se kind o‘ glad you can't
see 'em, ‘cause you'd be flustered like
‘cause they don't stay in the house
till they dresses taeyselves. All these
flggures seem to be scarce of clo‘. but
they is mighty pooty. only they be too
white to be any ‘Ution to you au‘ me
mammy. They be oue nigger amoimg
'em which iscryin' over a handkechief.
They call him Othello. Mebbee his
mammy is dead and h? car/t fetch her
to the show, poor fellow ! Everybody
ain't as comfortable as wo be, mammy
be they ?“
A Pretty Plot Spoiled.
Air. Chandler has hired a large
number of people to go about among
the Centennial visitors and represent
themselves as the owners of Southern
claims, delighted at the prospect of
Tilden's elections and securing pay
ment of their demands. Unfortunate
ly for the orospeity of the scheme, one
of the persons happened to p*ck up
the wrong customer, who had been an
early associate of the person whom he
addressed, lie is a resident of Mans
field, Ohio, and the person to whom he
expounded his imaginary grievances
had known him from boyhood. This
incident has been followed up and it
resulted in the discovery of more than
twenty cf these agents about Phila
delphia and-New York, every one of
whom were residents of Northern
States, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and
whose imaginary character as ag
grieved citizens of the South could
not bear a moment's examination.
Resource to such expedients must
be desperate indeed, and that it is
desperate is becoming more and more
evident every day.
A Warning to Horsemen,
From the Cecil Democrat.
Alexander Scott, a farmer who lived
near Ciierry Hill, Maryland, exchang
ed horses, and got an animal that was
suffering from some disease of the head
About two weeks ago Mr. Scott's hand
began to inflame from a slight wound
on the back of it, and became in a few
days a very ugly ulcer, giving him a
great deal of pain. Last week Dr. Car
ter found him sufficing from fever, and
a day or two later Air. Scott had a rag
ing fever, and was covered with “but
ton farcy.“ The disease was unmis
takably “glanders,“ and had been com
n>iiHie*tod ii-om ihe noise
through the break in the skin of the
'-and Mr Scott, died.on Sunday night.
A horse may have chronic glanders
and live a long time, keep fat, and
work without dilictilty, yet inoculate
man and beast with the deadly virus
that is siowly sapping its existence.
What he was Yelling at.
‘What’s that man yelling at?’ ask
ed an Illinois farmer of his boy, as he
pointed to a person in the field one
day.
‘What is he yelling at ?’ repeated
the lad.
‘Yes/ replied the father, inquiring-
br
‘l know/ said the boy.
‘Then what is it you young rascal !’
demanded the paternal.
‘Why/ chuckled the urchin, ‘he’s—
he’s yelling at —at the top of his
voice !
Then that cold-blooded husbandman
placed violent bands on his irreverent
offspring, and laid him over a gang
plow while lie flailed him with a fork
stale.
Hr Was Lazy,
John was sawing wood recently,
lie severed two sticks as thick as
your wrist, and then went into the
house, and said to his wife,
“Mary, my country needs me, there’s
no use talking ; we have just got to
slaughter all these Injuns ; no true
patriot can be expected to bang a
round a wood pile these days.”
“John/’ said his wife, “if you fight
Injuns as well as you saw wood and
support your family, it would take
one hundred and eighteen like you to
capture one squaw, and then you'd
have to catch her when she had the
ague, and throw pepper in her eyes.“
“John went back to the wood pile
wondering who told his wife all about
him.
Governor Hayes had his little day
at ihe Centennial on the 26th. The
Associate Press hasn't gushed over it.
He made a little speech, perhaps like
this :
Little Jacky Horner,
He sat in the corner,
Eating Christmas pie ;
lie put in his thumb
And he pulled out a plum,
And said, what a good boy am I.
Lost—the bottom of the pocket in
which Carl Schurz carried the German
vote.

NUMBER 39.
The. Democratic Tcrch-light
Procession,
New York, Oct. “27, 1876.
Last night's political display was
the most imposing ever witnessed in
this City. Fully 00,000 were in line.
Ihe Democrat working men, regard
less of local differences, were repre
sented by their clubs. The demon
stration commenced at half-past seven
and at one o'clock this nioroing Gov
ernor iilden was still in position in
front of the Everett House, reviewing
the procession. There were hundreds
of curious devices, representing the
traditions of the past and hopes for
the future.
Bold Challenge of Hampton,
Wiide Hampton, in his speech at
Elackville last Tuesday, said ho be
lieved the victory already won, and if
a fair, full vote could be taken through-
O
out the State, that Chamberlain would
he beaten so badly lie would never be
heard of. [Cheers.] Gen. Hampton
went on further to sav if Chamberlain
would remove tho troops and agree to
have a free election, he would pledge
himself that not a single white man in
South Carolina will cast a ballot, and
if Chamberlain would accept ttie invi
tation to meet him (Hamptoih on the
stump and speak to the colored peo
ple, he would be willing th leave the
election to the colored people, and
trust the result to their votes alone.
[Tremendious cheering ]
Shine of our exchanges are publish
ing as a curious item, a statement to
the effect that a horse in lowa pulled
the plug out of the bung hole of a bar
rel for the purpose of slaking his thirst.
We do not see anything very extraor
dinary in the occurrence. Now. if
me horse had pulled the barrel out of
the bung hole and slaked his thirst
with the plug; or, if the barret had
pulled the bung hole out of the plug
and slaked its thirst with the horse
or, if the plug had pulled the horse
out of the barrel and slaked its thirst
with the bung hole; or, if the bung
nolo had pulled the thirst out of the
horse and slaked the plug with the
barrel; or, if the barrel had pulled the
horse out o f the bung hole and plugged
its slake, it might bo worth while to
make some fuss about it.
Tlie Herald on Tildeu’s Letter.
New York, October 25th 1819.
The Herald, editorially commenting
on TildeiPs letter, says : “He speaks
out manfully, not evading the issue in
any way, but giving it squarely in
every particular. The Republican
charges were made for political effect
and scarcely called for the reply.
Tilden's policy is, let by-goncs be by
gones ; the civil war is over, and all
questions pertaining to it arc settled,
and they must not be reopened.“
A newspaper is a window through
which men look out on all that is go
ingon in the worlJ. Without a news
paper, a man is shut in a small room,
and knows little or nothing of what
is happening outside of himself. In
our day, the newspaper will keep pace
with history and record it. A news
paper will keep a sensible man in
sympathy with the world's curreat
history. It is an unfolding encyclo
paedia, an unbound book forever is
suing and never finished.
A Hardshell preacher gives this
recipe for true eloquence : ‘Git your
self chuck full of the subject, knock
out the bung, and let natur caper/
A young lady asking a young man
in a music shop, “Have you ‘Happy
Dreams' ?“ was astonished when he
replied, “No, ma'am, I‘m mostly
troubled with nightmare.“
In a speech delivered by Hampton
several days ago he said : “We have
enough colored voters who have join
ed the side of Democracy to carry
this election."
Iltixly, my boy ! you haven't- come
a bit too soon, for when we hear of a
