Tje Labor Qae tion.
Cotton lias been quiet the past week,
closing at 13 cents, from last ac

The Connecticut election is doubt
ful. Both sides claim the victory.—
It is probable that neither candidate
for Governor was elected, and if so
the election will be made by the Leg
islature, In that ease Jewell, Radi
cal, will be elected, as the Legislature
is largely Radical.
Two white men, Lloyd and Rolseriback

The difficulty appearsto be bow to
j manage free negro labor to make it
most profitable; there appears to be no
regular plan adopted by the planters by
which they can secure the" faithful ser
vices of the freedmen. It appears to
me that land owners operate against
the best- interest of the country by
renting their lands to the freedmen, or
allowing them to settle or build on
theii-Lands. They have not the means
of cultivating the land within them
selves, to make it profitable to either
party, the rento'r or the _ tiller, conse
quently as his labor has been badly di
rected, and the land badly cultivated,
there is a clear loss to the country of

Fish's office, and influenced Uolsen-

induces the freedman to feel his im

of a tenant instead of a laborer, and is
well calculated to cause them to be

Our Congressman.
The La Grange Reporter has this
to say of Judge Bigby:
We are glad to observe that the
Representative of the Third .District
of Georgia-in congress, although elec
ted by the Radical party, is acting with
the conservative wing-of his-party.—
"Bigby is not a bad man at heart. His
greatest fault is that he is. exceedingly
ambitions for place and position, and
is not very par ticular as to what party
shall confer upon him official honors,
as will be-learned by-ari' investigation
of his-politicai record since the war.—
Personally, Mr. Bigby is conservative;
politically, he is anything for office.,—
In 18GS, lie was a candidate for nomi-

A few weeks ago, a dentist came to
town and advertised that he would re

insert a new set for §10, besides giving
six months’- credit.' The Warrenton
people are very fond of bargains, so
there was a rush for the dentist’s office.

teeth,- and at the end of that tune hnlf

I fake pleasure in recommending your
Rosaualis as-a very powerful alteiative.
I Lave seen it used in two cases w*to happy
results—one in a case of secondary syphi
lis, in which the patient pronounced him
self cured after Laving taken five bottles of
your medicine. The other in a case of
scrofula of long standing, which is rapidly
improving under its use.and the indications
are that tne patient will soon recover. I
have carefully examined the formula by
which your Rosadalis is made, and find it
an excellent compound of alterative ingre-
