REMEMBER YOUR PROMISES.
A largo cumber of our subscribers
promised to settle their arrears, and
aicanee for the third year, in the fail ;
and we regret to say the fall is passed
—tho harvest is Glided—and yet. they
remain outside the pale of our implicit
confidence, llut we promise now (and
what have vre promised to onr patrons
that wc did not fulfil ?) not to remem
ber their past sins against them if they
will come forward and blot them out
with the requisite “legal tender. A
new year is at our threshold, and we
must make preparation to meet its de
mands. Will you help us to do so—
riot by promises nor by contributions —
but by payiny for what, you have been
so willing to use, and about which many
of you would have railed, and cursed,
and chafed if it bad not come regularly
to hand. We have requested now just
as many times as we intend to —and it
this Inst is not complied with wo shall
adopt another course ; a sure onc ; per
haps.but by no means pleasant. Again,
then, wc say, come forward and pay us.
Header-, do you owe for your paper, or
for .any advertisement that has appeared
iu it, or for job work, urgently needed
by you and willingly executed by us ?
Then, you owe it to honesty to pay for
ij 1 Don’t wait for your neighbor, “who
owes for his paper, too,” but go it alone ,
and have the consciousness of having
done your duty—better late than never !

Stanley Played Out.—The World
of Saturday, says :
“Last night, according to announce
ment, Mr. Stanley was to have deliver
ed his third lecture on the discovery of
Livingstone, in Steiuway-ball, but failed
to appear at fhe appointed hour. Some
thirty persons including a few ladies,
who had pcTchascd season tickets, assem
bled at tbe entrance of the hall, but as
there were no lights in the building, the
conclusion arrived at was that there was
some mistake. &er repeated knock
ings at the door the janitor appeared
and stated to the numerous inquiries
made by those outside that Mr. Stanley
would not appear any more in the hall,
owing to the fact that the former re
ceipts of the lectures delivered did not
meet expenses.”

Another victim of Radical hate and
tyranny has gone to his long home.—
William Teal, an alleged Kuklux from
Rutherford county, N. €., died at Nor
folk one day last week just as the vessel
had reached the wharf. He was a con
firmed consumptive when sent to the
Albany penitentiary, some months ago,
whenco he had just been liberated by
Grants order. He leaves a widow and
three small children in very necessitous
circumstances. By pardoning him, the
“best government” just saved itself the
expenses of his funeral.
There is evidently a struggle going
on between the President’s impulses and
those of his counsellors. His judgment,
and perhaps his inclinations, urge him
to pursue a conciliatory policy toward
the south, but bis advisers—and no oue
was ever more unfortunate in selecting
advisers—are using all their influence
to overcome his convictiors and per
suade him that the policy of strife and
hatred is the best. Tlic President never
had a fairer or more conspicuous oppor
tunity for evincing his firmness and re
solution ; and if he refuses to obey the
narrow-minded partisans around him,
and will lift his administration to a
more elevated ground of patriotism and
statesmanship than that on which it lias
stood for the past four years, he will
receive a degree of gratitude and be
backed by a support which has hitherto
been withheld. We cannot, however,
expect any very beneficent change in
bis policy until we bear of a beneficent
change in his Cabiuet.— Louisville Cour
ier-Journal.

Coal Production or the United
States.— The total anthracite coal pro
duction of the United States was, in
1820, 364 tons; 1830, 174,734 tons;
1840, 864,870 tons; 1850, 3,328,899
tons; 1860 8,513,123 tons; 1870, 15,-
849,899 tone; and up to September
21, 1872, the total production was 14,-
133,173 tons, against 10,120,784 to the
date last year, thus showing that 1872
will give a far larger production than
in any previous year
THE FENCE QUESTION.
Herndon, Ga., Dec. 12, 1872.
The nominating convention, held on
the first Tuesday, having prevented the
meeting of the Agricultural Society nud

Fence Law, tho meeting then called is
respectfully invited to Waynesboro' on
Tuesday next, 17th instant.

MR. JOHN D. MUNNERLYN.
Mr. Editor: —Partiznnship is an tin
reasoning and selfish passion. For the
sake of petty, party triumphs, it docs
not hesitate, first to use and then to
sacrifice its ablest and most faithful
servants. Few men have rendered a
more earnest, active, and efficient sup
port to the Democratic party in this
County than Mr. Munnerlyn; and uo
officer has discharged his duties with
greater promptness and fidelity. No
incumbent within try recollection has
cither understood or so well performed
his work, as this gentleman has. To-
day the perfect order and arrangement
of the books and papers of the Clerk’s
office in Burke challenge the admira
tion and excite the surprise of those!
familiar with it heretofore. Yet, after j
all his services, and his universally ac
knowledged competency, his name was
scarcely mentioned iu the nominating
convention. He was, in very truth,
assassinated —not “ slaughtered ’’ —iu the
house of his “friends.” Verily, parties,!
no less thau republics, are ungrateful.'
Now, as the pending canvass is an open ■
one, a.td we have every promise of a
fair and hottest election, I hope the
people, who are more interested in the
efficiency of the officer, than in the popu
larity of the man , will act wisely and
continue Mr. Munnerlyn in his present
position. J.
I Know that My Redeemer Livktii.
—Ou Christmas night of 1871 the writer
of this article sat beside Horace Greeley
at Steinway Hall, New York city, where
was being given Handel’s great oration
of “The Messiah.” During the major
part of the performance he sat appa
rently lost in thought, if not in a doze,
and seemingly oblivious to all that was
going on. But when Miss Kellogg ap
peared and sang the great soprano solo,
“I know that my Redeemer liveth,” he
raised up, his face was suffused with joy,
his bright, eye was dimmed with a tear,
and lie listeued with that steady aud
intense earnestness so peculiar to him
when interested. When it was finished
no hands more loudly applauded than
his, no face beamed forth such great
satisfaction, and he murmured to him
self those grandest of all the words of
the world, “I know that*my Redeemer
liveth.” Then again came the absent,
preoccupied look, nor did it change
until Miss Sterling sang the contralto
recitative, “Then shall come to pass
that, which is written: death shall be
swallowed up in victory,” when the
same joyous look of satisfaction lighted
up the face no one couid look upou and
not love. A few days ago he turned
wearily ou his bed of pain, and the old
light came back as ho muttered, “I
know that my Redeemer liveth;’’ a few
hours more, and “it is done.” Death
was swallowed up iu victory—the vic
tory of a life-time, fighting for the right
over wrong; for truth over error ; for
reason over prejudice ; lor peace and
love ove- war and hate—the victory of
a well-spent life, entitling a soul to life
eternal after death. This is his viotory,
and he needs no eulogy or monument.
The heart-beat of tbe nation is the one,
the imprint of our footsteps on the face
of time the other—more lasting than
marble, more endurable than brass.—
Troy Evening Press , Dec. 2.
From a staid and Puritanical New
England college town comes the start
ling intelligence that “matching cop

BLOT OUT THE RECORD.
The Wa hington Republican, referring
to Mr. Sumner’s resolution to strike
| from the public records and from the
regimental colors names of nil tho bat
-1 ties ot the late civil war, in accordance
with the practice of all modern civil
! ized nations, says:
••This will not, wo think, strike the
majority of people as either very wise
nr very practical. It) our desire to con
ciliate the living we should not be un
| j u>t to the dead. To blot out the
record written in their blood woulßbo
tantamount to a confession that the
cause in which they died was an unjust
and unholy one.”
Mr. Sumner made a somewhat sim
ilar suggestion to tlie above soon after
the war, and, fresh as the wounds of
the struggle then were, it was more
likely to receive consideration then than
now, because ho had not agreed with
the Republican party in any policy.—
The recognition in any degree of the
merits of a measure seems to depend
too much, it is to be regietted, upon the
political relations of tlie person who pre
sents it. Tho infallibility of the domi
nant political organization seems to be
accepted as a cardinal principle of party
faith, and he who questions it upon any
point is by that act excommunicated,
and Las no right to lift up his voice
among the true believers.
Mr. Sumner might cite the example
of ancient heroic and modern civilized
nations in regard to magnanimity to the
conquered in civil wars to tbe crack of
doom, but, coming fiom one who has
given aid and comfort to the political
outs, it is to be feared it would have no
effect upon the patriotn ins. It would
be injustice to tho dead, the Washing
ton Republican tells us, to blot out tho
record written in their blood, and a
confession that their cause was unjust.
The same, then, would be true of the
ancient and modern nations who, when
their adversaries were down, have for
given them without regard to the ex
penditure of blood ar.d treasure which
victory had involved. But what was
the cause for which the soldiers of the
Uuion died ¥ Was it not the cause of
the Union, and do we blot out their
record when, by effacing the vestiges of
discord, we make the Union of all sec
tions real instead of nominal ? At the
same time it may be possible that the
resolution of Mr. Sumner is in advance
of the prevailing sentiment in Congress.
Tho public records and regimental
colors which record the names of the
battles of the late war attest victories
over a foe whom, in a mere military
sense, it was a signal honor, even though
numerically inferior, to conquer; and,
as such, there may be those who are
unwilling to give them up, even though
they imply thereby a high compliment
to the vanquished. We do not believe,
however, that this is the spirit of the
American people, boweVbr it may be of
a few professional politicians who claim
|to represent them. The people are ntag
; nanimous, and, loving their country,
would wish to be in unison with their
I countrymen from its one end to the
other. To cherish pride of victory over
one another would not be in accord with
the fraternal spirit in which our people
desire to dwell; and therefore to blot
out a pampering record, valued more
probably by individuals as an aid to
selfish ends than otherwise, is truly
national and patriotic.

A Sensible Jcumalk. — A gallant gen
tleman lias just died in the neighborhood
of Troy, N. Y. Many years ago he
broke an engagement to marry, and now
he lias left the jilted lady a snug ten
thousand. In his will he thus tells the
gentle story: “Many years since, before
my acquaintance with the late Mrs. Dun
lop, I was engaged to Miss Aiken, which
engagement, for certain reasons, was;
broken off by me. I have not seen her
for over thirty years, but I know she is
still alive, and now, for partial repara
tion for the wrong committed, and
should she still live at the time of my
death and will receive it, I direct my
executors to pay her in three annual
instalments, within twelve months, tbe
sum of ten thousand dollars; should
she refuse to receive it, the amount to
revert to my daughter Jessie.’ It is
stated that the lady has accepted the
offer and has received the money,—
The natno of her friend was Archibald
Dunlop.
In the next lowa Legislature there
will boa Lyon, a Bullock, two Foxes,
and three Ducks.
A New Idea. —ThcMcthodistsof Bay
View, Cecil oounty, Md , have determin
ed to build a now church, but being
scrupulous ns to tho manner the money
is to be raised for the purpose, the build
ing committee has adopted flic follow
ing : “Re.-olved, That in building this
church wo make use of no means which
have the least semblance of gambling
or chance work of any kind whatever.”
Troops to Arkansas—Does the
Army Belong to Grant on the Peo
ple?— Washington December 6.—Sena
tor Rice offered a resolution this morn
ing calling on the President for informa
tion in regard to the number and dispo
sition of troops order id to Arkansas,
and the purpose for which they are to
be used. This was pronounced an im
pudent piece of intermeddling by Sena
tor Edmunds, who declared that the
army belonged to the President, and it
was his constitutional duty to dispose of
and use as he saw proper the troops
composing it. Mr Thurman, in reply,
rebuked this imperialistic idea, and said
he had always been of the opinion that
ttie President as well as the army
were but the es of the people.
There might be some necessity, he said,
in time of wai for secrecy, which would
make it impolitic to give the public all
the information' it desired ; but in a time
of profound peace there could be no
objection to give the information asked
for by the gentlemen front Arkansas.
It was a matter that deeply concerned
the people he represented, and it was
due to them that it should be given.
The Administration Senators, however,
voted solid to refer the resolution to the
Military committee, which of course
smothers it.
Carl Schurz, in a letter written to
lion. A. G. Thurman, dec-1 nes the
position on the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, tendered him by Mr. Casserly.
ile says the withdrawal of Mr. Casserly
and his appointment in his place would
deprive the Democratic party of its
representation. Ile says that he has
never passed from the Republican to
the Democratic party, and his uttitude
is the same to-day. The programme
drafted by the Cincinnati Convention
represents substantially his political
faith. If the Administration should
do anything to promote the euds as
then laid down, ho will therein support
it. In whatever it. may do in the oppo
site direction, therein he will oppose it.

Judge Nelson, who has just retired
from the Supreme Court, has had a most
remarkable judicial career. He has
been on tho bench, State aud Federal,
for nearly fifty years, and without the
interregnum of a single day. His first
appointment to office was on the 21st of
pril 1822, as one of the Circuit Judges
of his native State, New York. Of the
eleven'Circuit Judges appointed with
him not one survives, and nil his associ
ates on the Supreme Bench of that
State are also dead. He was appoint
ed on the Supreme Bench of the Unit
ed States in lN4f>, aud every member
of that body whom he found in office
then is gone. He has just entered on
his eighty-first year.
A Kentucky court has decided that
the trade-mark of a cosmetic entitled
“bloom of youth” shall not be protected
from the infringement of imitators, on the
ground that it is a “dangerous and poi
sonous compound.” Whether this be
good ‘law or no we arc unabic to say;
but it scarcely seems like good sence to
declare that because the original article
is dangerous and poisonous any one who
chooses shall be free to vend imitations,
which may bo supposed to be at least
equally dangerous and poisouous. If
“bloom of youth” be irrepressibly dele
terious, it is clearly the into est of the
pu lie to limit its manufacture rather
than to multiply it. It would be of
greater interest to the public, however,
to altogether suppress tho manufacture
of poisonous compounds, and it is to be
hoped that the. time may come when
courts of law will have some further
functions than merely to proclaim the
toxic character of nostrums brought be
fore them.
