UPftos co., Ga , L. K R. yvi ISCELLANEOUS. Radicalism and Revolution. We copy ir-’in the New York VV'orld a l<*ntr article headed '’l)c We Accept Revo lution ?” The W rid ia ihe lendinj? Dem ocratic paper advocating what is cal ed the ’’N* w Departure. M and some of its articles denuociatorv «»f Southern men who do not wish to go in that direction as for as its de sires have Been so bitter that we have f.dt constrained tit protest against them Tlte ar»’clc which we copy to-day is in quite a dff rent tone, so much so that we are in clined to regard the sudden change as stg niticant of an a .rupt ‘•departure” Cr -in its late line of welfare. We will not speculate as to the prompting of this change in the direction of the World’s fire, thouirh wc think that we understand it, hut will pro ceed to examine s me of its bearings. The article in question, though unspar ing in its denunciation of Radical tineonsti tuiwnol l&jiislation. in p.osen'enee disputes the legality of the 14 h at-d 15th Amend ments In this respect it is consistent with ihe “New Departure” and the resolutions of all Northern Democratic State Conven tions that have recently assembled. We do not, therefi re, regard this article of the W.-rld as indicati g any ohange in the cur rent of Democratic opinion a' the North as shown in the “platforms” <«f the late Stafe Conventions. If, as we hope, it reveals a purpose to cease the taunts and derision of S unthern men who reluctantly accept the new Democratic situation, so far very good. But the article under consideration does expose and denounce the great usurpations and encroachments made by the Radical Congress by an exaggeration or perversion of the 14th and 15th Amendments, and the necessity of vindicating the integrity of the Constitution by Democartic action. It is true —and our people would do well to bear it in mind in the discussions of these ques tions —that the Reconstruction legislation of Congress was none of it founded on the 15t h. and but little of it on the 14th Amend mente, because those Amendments had not been ratifi- and (or fraudulently so proclaimed) at the date of such legislation; and there fore. even if these Amendments were fair ly and regularly incorporated in the Consti tution, the Reconstruction legislation can derive no support fr *m them. The Ku- Klux act alone was passed after the proclamation of the adoption of the 15th Amendment, and the Radical pretext is that that Amendment justiue.i it. We are glad to see that this claim is indig nantly repudiated bv the Word and the Northern Democrats who go with it in the **N**w Departure” ; and we tru-t that even those Northern Dum >crat accepting th** Amendments as par sos the Constitution ful*y incorporated will see that- such accept ance does not require thsm to revoke any declaration of the Democratic p atform of 1868. or even Frank Blair’s energeriedenun* elation of the Reconstruction measures as unconstitutional and void Columbus En quirer.

The Cincinnati Catholic Teleg aph. re ferring to the lat** in honor of the Pope, says: I his exhibition of Cafh* 0 ic strength, representing a proportionate amount of the wealth ahd industry of the .city, will entry with it a lasting impre?»ion* wih have its influence to the interest ol the Catholics If will speed many »c»s of jus ti-e that big .try, through the fabr cation of ftlse statistics, has too long delayed. The Catholic life stream that is traversing and enriching this Country in every direc tion cannot he c mtrolled and opposed, and depleted by unjust legislation It is strong . nough to tfrmand. with the irresistible force that is given to it from the pulse 01 the great Catholic heart that beats with she deepest loyalty f.*r ihe country, the same Iret dom the same rights and privil eges that other ciiizens enjoy. No power on earth can stem the strong, healthy tor rent of Catholic life that is contributed s-» largely to the prosperity and greatness of the nation. Here, as elsewhere, the Catbo lie church is ever widening its folds, and stretching us tent, and strengthening its stakes, that it may inherit the gentiles. It makes its gr wing members honest, sober, industrious and intelligent citizen". D demands in return that the millions rtf citizens so instructed to labor and. if needs be, to die for their Country, and equal en joyment of all the blessings that our coin mon government can bestow. If these be relu-ed, the enemies ..f our faith be assured that We will not submit »amely to the injus tice. We will be ever law-abiding, as we w»re wh.-n our highest municipal officer forbid the sacred concert in honor of the Pope on the sanctimonious plea that it was a desecration of the Sabbath We will treasure the rememhrai-c* of the legisia’ive pains and penalties under which we suffer, as we will remember the Comparison which the mayor made between a sacred concert and the sensual noise of rhe beer gardens. We will never forget the robbery of the school law until it is stopped ; and we will likewise entertain for some time, until the day of the political retribution comes, the Contemptible movement of Mayor Davis to prevent the erection »f the c ithedra! arch. The shape <>f that decoration will outlive, in the minds of Catholics ail other memen toes <»f the papa! demonstrations. We will not imitate the s!y. oily, serpent like nui -I.movers of cl aked hostdity. We will answer olir enemies by the free, open, manly u-e of our suffrages We prop, ge to teach him and others, who use their p.'Wcr to in sult and injure Us because we are Citho lics, that over one third ttf the population of this city will compel a different policy—- that they will force legislation into the channels of even handed jos r ice We *sk for no favors, we will abandon no -brlit-s 1 1 If opportune to mast* uik?

T* ev vvi I resent a public wrong in a manner that all honest men will approve and applaud. It is time that many should learn that w r e haie passed from in fa: uy to manhood. Our resistance to oppression will be more potent than ihe unheeded cry of the cradle. Times change and w“ chan<»*» \ri.>h them. Knitting T was just dunking, moth er,” said Rachel. “ Thinking about what?” asked Mrs. ITarland. seeing that her daughter did not c-miplete the sentence she had hecun. “It was something about knitting. Mrs. Bat clay said this morning, as she passed the window’ and saw me at w. rk, ‘That is Soft and beautiful yarn, hut not ha'f so soft and beautiful. I trust, as the yarn you arc knitting into your life.’ I’ve been thinking evpr since what she could mean, and it’s just come to me ” “Has it? I’m glad you’ve thought it nut f<>r yourself. What is merely told us, often goes no deeper than the memory, but if wc think out anything for nurse ves, it becomes mor<* real to us and more our own. We understand it better. “Yes. I am sure of that/’ replied Rachel. “And what do you think Mrs. Barclay meant ?” asked Mrs llarland, “I suppose she meant that, oof thoughts and feelings were like yarn, and that every day we were knitting them into our lives.” “I think that was hes meaning.” replied the mother. “If day by day w*e knit ptire thoughts and kind and gentle feelings into onr lives, we shall not only f-*rm to our selves beauriful characters, that will make our presence a charm and a b.easing to others, but acquire a heavenly quality that will draw near to us, as like draws like, the Angels of God with their prote ting power, though we may not preceive their presence.” A tender thoughtfulness was in the eyes nf Rachel. She d»d not answer, but ].». ked down at her knitting, and as the s*-ft thread passed through her fingers, she pondered this new lesson in the book of life.— From, the Children's Hmr Hints Ab ct I>ks-s. We»r little or no jewelry in the streets. Large ornaments are seldom bee 'ming, Never wear two bright colors at the same time. Avoid overdressing, if ahy doubt exists about the occasion. A dress of neb material is more genteel than a sh- wy one. A traveling dress should be strong io fabric and simple in make. A short dress should just clear the ground. No m *re, no less. Toe dress of a woman in the morning is th»» real rest of character. It isvulg’T for gentlemen to dress gaudi ly, or adorn themselves with jewe rv. Holes in rhe gloves, soiled collars, ill fit ting or shabby boots, are a sure proof of a slattern. Avoid glaring contrasts in color, materi al. or value. A rea< Ice shawl will look badly over a calico dress. The dress is n reflection of the mind 1 a delicate and m”de«t mind will l»e recognis ed by the delicacy and modesty of the ap parel.

Nrw Orleans, July I.—The Cotton Ex change Committee on Statistics and Infor mation made a report upon the growing cot ton and grain cfop. with dates from the 15th to the 25th of Junn. The following is a summary 1 In Mississippi, the cotton reduction of acreage is twpfity to tsronty five per «*ent., with nn average of half to three quarters the yield of last year per acre. The corn acreage has been increased twenty-five to forty per cent. The latest reports indicate a short yield per acre. In L- uisiana, ihe cotton reduction in acreage is ten to twelve per cent. The cr p is three Weeks backward and oong and erably injured, especially in low lands, by rain and lice. Corn nearly *ufficient for home consumption has been planted. In Arkansas, the Cotton reduction in acreage is twenty-five to thirty-three per cent , with a proportionate increase in gram. Prospects are generally good, except in the southern portion of the State, where not more than a half of the last year’s yield per acre is anticipated. The gram 01 op is very promising. In Texas, the information is mostly from the northeast portion of the State. The cotton reduction in acreage is twenty-five to thirty-three per cent., with a correspon ding increase in grain. Cotton is two weeks backward, though with a favorab ! e season an average crop per acre is expected. A large crop of corn is expected. In Alabama, the cjtton reduction in acre* age is ren to twenty per cent. The crop is three weeks backward The average pro duction pt*r acre will be less than last year. Grain has increased in acfea_e twenty to thirty pef cent., with fair prospect. In Georgia, the cotton accounts are nipagre, embracing the west corure and centre of the State, thence northeast. The decrease in acreage is twenty to thirty three per cent., in the northeast, and twelve an™a half to fifteen per cent., in other sec tions heard from 'The condition is unprom i-itig—half to three*quarters per aefe Os last year’s yield is expected. In grain there is n corresponding Increase in acreage, wb'ch is Unpromising. in Te nnessee, information Is confined tn the western part of the State. Cotton has been decreased in act cage from five to twelve and a half per cent., w’ith prospects of an average vield per acre. Io grain there Is Considerable increase in acreage and the prospect go<-d. Fr.a tb and Forgery —The Washington Patriot makes a very strong point against the Radicals in their eff .rts to Involve the Southern pe pie in tr<>uh'e That paper says isl Ifs is-Ue ttf June 30: *To Senator Pool, of North Carolina, belong* thp dis credit of having first presented to Ihe Doited oMi'es a paper purporting to be the petition of 1.500 cit zens of Wilmington, which was deliberately fabricated by his partisans there, a'd was never nigned by any of the persons whosa names were thus used. This fraud was detected bv Senator Thurman, who, upon examining the paper, found nil the signatures in the handwriting of two or three persons. An attempt was made by P ail to counteract the effect of this expos ure. by certificates from the parties, who aileged they hud signed f<»r negroes at a publ tc meeting, and Who bad requested their names to be written. But this sec >n(f fraud was exploded like the other, in two Ways ; first, by the handwriting of the men who made the ceftificates. which differed entirely with that of any nf the signatures to the petition, and next, by the fact, that it was a physical impossibility, for otic man to have signed 1.5U0 names during the time of the public metting This example now seems to have been imitated in a pretended petition, sent to the President from Fayette county, Ala., which is nearly all in thesame ♦'andwriting, and was evidently concocted hy some Radical rogue, who took this wav of manufacturing opinion. There is one striking fact about all this ‘outrage’ busi ness, come from what quarter it may. Every case yet presented, is tainted with fraud, falsehood, forgery, or perjury. Thpre is hardly an exception, from beginning to end ” Anecdote or Henry Ci.ay —lt is known that Mr. Clay was remarkab e for his recol lection of faces.

Mr. Clay struck his long, bonv finger upon his forehead, as if in deep thought. * Have you lost that eye since I saw you, or had you lost it before?” inquired Mr. Clay. “Since,” said the man. “Then turn the sound side of tour face to me. that I may get yotir profile.” Mr Clay paused for a moment, bis thought running back many years. “I have it,” said he. “Did vou rot give me a v«rdict as juror at Fraokford, Kv.. in the great case of the United States versus Inois, twenty-one years ago ?” “I did!

A Canton, 111., farmer, says: “I was going out past my corn-crib the other Morning when I observed a large rat car rying a full-sized ear of corn in his mouth, with head erect. At the same time his tail was wrapped around another, and an extra large ear, which he was drugging behind him.” For a specimen of logical consecution of ideas we venture to commend this, from a schoolboy’s composition i ‘ Tobacco was in vented by tt rtinn named Walter Raleigh.

Now you would be surprised at the number of men that are planting trees in front of theif domiciles and naming them after their respective, If not respected, wives—and the sickliest looking trees that can be found, too—trees that, with the ten derest care, cannot possibly live more than two week*.

The young beauty demanded his expulsion as a condition of her remaining. Explanations ensued. The gentleman was not looking at her. “though beautiful enough to attract nnd fasten the attention of any one.” He was looking nt a fine and costly chain that encircled the fair one's neck—just such a one as he had purchased fir his sister—in one of the links of which (having a secret opening) he had put his photograph. But s me months since, and before he had an opportunity to present it to his sister, it was stolen from him. Upon examining the lady's chain he touched a spring (to the little beauty Unknown) and 10, and behold 1 there was his photograph. I leave you tojudgo of the confusion of the fair one. She immediately offered to return the piece of jewelry, which was po litely declined for the time, and it is said by knowing ones that she has concluded to accept of the young man’s hand and heart, in order that being the possessor of the one she may be permitted to retain the other. It is but justice to remark that the young lady bought the chain cf a traveling pedier, who had stopped at her father’s house, for about one half of its original cost. Cor. Chill icoth Register. Clover in M .nr e Uocntt.—Col. Oeo. W. Adams brought us, yesterday, two sam ples of clover, cut fiom patche* in the town of Forsyth. One of the second cutting this year was three feet nine inches nnd a frac tion long. Another specimen, from a third cutting, this year, was only four inches shorter. Tbi* clover was sown last Octo ber. with a crop of barley, and is the growth ot the high upland upon which the town of Forsyth is located. Such results are truly wonderful, but we must allow that they are, in great, part, due to the extraordinary humidity of the season, which has been specially favorable to the grasses. Bat were we to set duwn fifty p«»r cent, to the credit of an unusually favorable season, still enough would be left to show that Monroe county may easily have such clover fields as few sections of the United St«'*s ean exhibit. Mr. Adams says that Mr. Lumpkin will, in a few days, give his clov« cr fields a second cutting, ad promises os the fesult in weight of dried forage to the acre. —Telegraph and Messenger.
