MACON, Q0T0BER2 1, 1870.
Superb for Cotton Picking.
Wfl have never seen finer weather for getting
•at the great staple than has blessed this sec
tion nearly all the current month. Ecarely a
drop of rain has fallen, and the atmosphere
and sunshine have both been peculiarly fitted
for its development and growth. If cotton was
xrorth 25 cents a pound, the planters would be
the most jovial people in the world. But they
are not, and we doubt whether they have scarcely
thought of the advantages of the season. They
are picking this year to sell at a sacrifice to pay
for meat, and corn, and guano, with little or no
prospect of having a dollar over. Working
with such a purpose is not very conducive to
jollity. We indulge a bare hope that this mis
erable business is nearly played ont. We say
bare hope, because the Southern planters have
so often roalized the old proverb abont man’s
uncertainty that we are afraid to venture fur
ther. If our friends, the planters, shall be at
work this time next year with no better pros
pects of profit than this, we shall set them down
as foreordained and predestined for nun and
cease trying to savo them.
Alas ! Poor Milledgeville !
It looks as if the Agency had determined to
give the coup de grace to our neighbor, the an
cient capital of the State. We have reason to
believe it has determined to convert the State
buildings there into a negro college. Suoha
result will sign the death warrant of the peaco
and prosperity of the place. We denounce this
outrage as pro-eminently and inexcusably wick
ed, wanton and devilish. If the Agency thus
ruins the prospects and business of tho tax pay
ers of MiUedgoville it should reimburse them.
It has just as much right to confiscate the pro-
erty of tho citizens of Milledgeville directly, as
to do it indirectly by such an act as this.
A Grand Marriage.
Royalty, in tho person of the Princess Lou
isa, fourth daughter of Queen Vio., will soon
•toop—conquered by Cupid, we suppose—to
mate with a subject in the person of the Mar-
quis of Lome, youngest son of the Duke of
Argyle. No such marriage has occurred in
England since that of the Second James and tho
daughter of Chancellor Hyde, more than two
hundred years ago. The Marquis is repre
sented as eminently a "safe” young man with
untold stores of the demnition cash in prospect
when ho succeeds his father, and thoroughly
accomplished by au extensive tour through tho
United States.
Amos to Come Home.
We find the following paragraph in the Herald
of Saturday:
There are changes and rumors of changes in
the Cabinet this morning. Secretaty Cox has
resigned and is to bo succeded by Commissioner
Delano. Attorney General Akerman, it is re
ported, will resign on account of his health,
and Senator Williams, of Oregon, will probably
ancceed him.
Cameron and Chandler are credited with Cox’s
resignation, they having demanded his head of
Grant, because he is a gentleman and opposed
the swindle of allowiDg the clerks in his depart
ment to go homo and vote the Radical ticket at
Government expense. Suoh disloyalty roused
the wrath of Cameron and Chandler, and they
went for him. We regret, for Akerman's sake,
that he is coming back here again. After his
Atlanta speech, andhis infamous no election law,
we fear ho will not find the atmosphere of Geor
gia quite as agreeable as that of Washington.

Interesting Information for Candi
dates.
Fobt Gaines, October 17, 1870.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I r ?"
quested by numbers of your patrons ana mends
in. this section to ask you to publish in the ool-
umns of your paper the oath required under the
reconstruction act of the members of the Legis
lature, and the iron olad °*‘h, with such com
ments upon them os you think best There is
an unparalleled scramble for office m this whole
sectionTand to my knowledge men are seeking
to 90 to tho Legislature who are clearly ineligi
ble from having held offioe before the war that
required them to take an oath to support tho
constitution of tho United States, such as for
mer sheriff, justice of tho peace, etc. I do not
think that, as pnblie journalists, you can at this
particular time do the country more good than
by keeping this subject and that of bolting con
stantly before the people.
We print, with pleasure, the above communi
cation from a subscriber at Fort Gaines.
Wo havo notieed, with deep concern, the un
fortunate and ill-timed greed for office manifes
ted in so many quarters where we had reason
to look for a far different spirit. It is about the
only symptom, wo have observed, unfavorable
to a grand Democratic triumph in December. It
isfrnitfal of mischief, and must be treated he
roically, if no other course will abate it. It
breeds bolting, and that fatal apathy on account
of personal disappointment that is so sure a
forerunner of defeat. Let the people put it
down at once, and vigorously. Their dearest in
terests are put in jeopardy by it, and they must,
if they would save themselves from absolute ruin,
be no respecter of persons in enforcing this
policy. As a general rule, the greediest men
for office aro those with tho least qualifications
for an intelligent and honest discharge of its
duties. Men of real merit are not often found
among the brazen, hungry clamorers for the
loaves and fishes.
But to tho subject matter of our correspon
dent’s letter.
No oath is required of members of tho Leg
islature except that set forth in tho Constitution
of tho Stats, which merely binds the person
taking it to support tho Stats and Federal Con
stitutions.
But the 3d section of the Fourteenth Amend
ment reads as follows. Italics our own.
“No person shall bo a Senator or Represen
tative in Congress, or Elector of President or
Vice President, or hold any office, civil or mili
tary, under the United States, or under any
Stale, who, having previously taken an onth asa
member of Congress, or as executive or judicial
officer of any State, to support tho Constitution
of tho United States, shall have engaged in in
surrection or rebellion against the same; or giv
en aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But
Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each
house, remove such disability."
If, therefore, a man who has ever held office
before tho war and taken an oath to support the
Constitution of tho United States, and after
wards aided the rebellion, so-called, in any man
ner, should run for and be elected to any State
or Federal office, ho would violate this section,
and lay himself liable to prosecution by the
Federal government, and on conviction to be
punished by fine and imprisonment. We warn
all such persons against taking this risk. We
are satisfied that it is the intention of the pres
ent administration to 'exercise, through its offi
cials in every Southern State, the keenest scru
tiny into tho record of all candidates elected to
office by the Democrats, and if they are found
ineligible under the section above quoted, to re-
gorously prosecute them. Let all such candi
dates go to the rear, at once. The law is as odi
ous and unconstitutional as Radical spite and
tyranny could mako it, but still it is'the law,
and must be obeyed as such. We hope no man
who is banned by the provisions of this act, will
think of offering himself as a candidate for the
Legislature or any county office. His election
will only result in a risk, at least to himself, of
fine and imprisonment, and tho defeat of the
party by the seating of a Radical in his stead.
The test oath or “iron clad,” as it iB commonly
called, is as follows; It will be seen that it is to
be taken only by persons holding office under
the United Slates:
Troenu’a Grand Sortie from Paris
Pence Bomors.
The Herald, of Sunday, prints the following
cable dispatch from London :
London, October 15.—A correspondent of the
New York Herald at Tonrs telegraphs, confirm
ing the reports of the grand sorties at Paris on
Wednesday.
The fire from the forts, espeoially from Mont
Valerien, was excessively heavy, and was so
well directed that the shots were sent with the
precision of rifled mnaketa.
The sharpshooters in the earthworks kept up
a rattling sound of musketry, that was excess
ively demoralizing to the Prussian infantry in
their rifle pits, and thus prepared the way for
the grand sortie all aronnd the lines.
General Trochu led the French forces in per
son, inspiring the raw troops by his presence
and his brave demeanor and encouraging the
gallant efforts of the older soldiers.
The sortie was a complete success all round
the line. The Prussians were repulsed wherever
they made any show of resistance, and were
driven from all the works they hid reoently
constructed.
The works at Villejuif, at Sevres and at Gen-
nevilliers, where guns had already been placed
to bombard the city, are in possession of the
French. ■ •
The greatest enthusiasm prevails in Paris and
in Tours.
The Prussians deny that there has been any
sortie with snoh successful results as these, but
we are inclined to think that the denial ante
dates the sortie. They say there has been no
change in the military situation around Paris
sinoe the 19th of September, which declaration
may have been true when it was made. The
dispatches yesterday, however, give some color
to the Herald’s report as it was published, then,
that rumors of an armistice were current in
German banking circles, and stooks were ad
vancing. In London, too, Berlin banking pa
per was refused—all of which seem to point to
Prussian reverses. If the Prussians have really
been driven back from Paris, at this time, with
the season for military operations so far ad
vanced, and find themselves confronted by tho
prospect of having to do their work all over,
the natural results it appears to us of such a
cheek would be just suoh manifestations as are
noted above. We have heard little, heretofore,
of any current rumors of an armistice in Ger
man circles as the Prussians have been so stead
ily successful. Theso sort of rumors are bom
of reverses, not victories. As we write, and with
such information as has coma to hand at this
hour, it seems to ns that there 1b more light in
the direction of a cessation of hostilities, at
least, than has bean indicated for some time
past. . . > omu Jjsoii) i

It is related that as some friends of Camp

Heavy Yield.—-The Eufaula News says that
twenty-nino acres, of land In Jackson county
Florida, belonging to Mr. Dunwoody produced
this year thirteen hundred and fifty bushels of

ago for less than three dollars per aero.
And now it is rumored at Washington, that
the notorious Forney stands a chance of suc
ceeding Cox in the Interior Department. The
decent portion of tne American people who
know and appreciate both Grant and Forney, will
cheerfully make affidavit that it is an appoint
ment eminently fit to be made.

TUB TEST OATH.
By the act of Congress passed July 2, 1862—
Every person elected or appointed to any of
fice of honor or profit under the government of
the United States, shall take and subscribe the
following oath or affirmation: “I, A. B., do
solemnly swear (or affirm), that I have never
voluntarily borne arms against tho United
States since I have been a citizen thereof; that
I hare voluntarily given no aid, countenance,
counsel or encouragement to persons engaged
in armed hostility thereto; that I have never
sought nor accepted, nor attempted to exercise
the functions of any office whatever under any
authority, or pretended authority, in hostility
to the United States; that I have not yielded a
voluntary support to any pretended government
authority, power or constitution within the
United States, hostile or inimical thereto. And
I do further swear (or affirm) that, to the best of
my knowledge and ability, I will support and de
fend the constitution of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that
I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
that I take this obligation freely without any
mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and
that I will well and faithfully discharge the du
ties of tho office on whioh I am about to enter,
so help me God.”
The following is the oath prescribed by sot
of July 11th, 1868, to be taken instead of the
test oath by persons whose disabilities have
been relieved by Congress:
“I,. A. B., do solemnly swesr (or affirm) that
I will support and defend tho Constitution of
the United States against all enemies, foreign
and domestic; that I will bear true faith and
allegiance to tha same; that I take this obliga
tion freely, without any mental reservation or
purpose of evasion, and that I will well and
faithfully discharge the duties of the office on
whioh I am abont to enter, so help me God.
Getting Ready to Cheat, r.. - :, •
Forney sounds the first note of villainy for
the next Congress to take up. He deduce that
several of the Democrats eleotsd to that Con
gress were put in by fraud, and that their seats
must be contested. He points particularly to
Morrell and Schcnck, two of the moat shameless
tools of tha tariff robbers, who have been fairly
beaten by their Democratic opponents. Wo“
may expect to seo these men posted at tho door
of the House in December, 1871, demanding a
reversal and repudiation of tho verdict of the
people of their respective districts, and we have
very little doubt but that their allies inside will
listen to their appeals.
It will oome to pass after awhilh--unle8s
tho Jacobins aro hurled from power—that no
Democrat with less than 800 or 1,000 majority
will tako the trouble to present himself at
Washington. If tho people of tho Noyth, how
ever, are willing to stand snoh a state of affairs,
we of the South can certainly endure it. It
is they and not ns who are to be affected
hereafter, by what Gongrem may or may
not do. That body has exhausted its ingenuity
and spite in legislating against ns. There is
little it can do to injure us further, so we are
easy. The South would swap every Congress
man she is entitled to for the control of her
State governments, and feel she had made a
groat bargain. What we need now to save our
selves from absolute ruin is the management of
our local affairs. fiWMc!
A Fair Election in Charleston.
The Charlestonians having made application
to Judge Bond of the U. 8. Circuit Court for
some aotion to insure a fair election and fair
count in that oity that functionary has appoint
ed two residents in each election precinct in tha
city, one from caoh political party, with the fol
lowing instructions:
First. To attend at all times and places
fixed for folding elections, of Representative in
Congress, and for counting the votes cast at said
elections.
Seoond. To challenge any vote offered.
Third. Jo be present and witness throughout
the counting of all votes, and to remain where the
ballot boxes are kept at all times after the polls
are open, until Me votes are finally counted.
Fourth. The parsons thus appointed have the
right to affix their signatures for the purpose
of identification, to the list of the names of the
persons who shall vote, and to the certificate of
the number of votes cast.
Thus it will be seen that the ideas in Charles-
ton of what is necessary to secure a fair eleo
tion are precisely the reverse of the provisions
of the Akerman bill. The right of the repre-
sentativos of both parties to challenge—the right
of personal observation where the votes are re
ceived, and where kept and when counted—all
these the Judge thinks are indispensable safe
guards to a fair election. But the Akerman bill
forbids all challenge or question of a person of
fering to vote, and compels all ontaide of the
corruption ring to stand off fifteen feet, so that
nobody bat the rings can see what is done.
Adjourned.
Bullock, in a proclamation dated yesterday,
and published in the Era of that date, has ad
journed the Agency tine die from and after the
25th inst, next Tuesday. The Senate, how
ever, will meet in executive session on the 21st
of November, to confirm appointments, and do
suoh other deviltry as B. may have hatched ont
for them by .that time. One of Bullock’s where-
asas preceding his proclamation hits the nail
spang on the head by declaring, in substance,
it is best for the interest of the State that the
Agency shonld finish its business 03 early as
possible. It looks very much like looking the
stable door after the horse is gone, bnt on the
prinoiple that.late is better than never, we
probably ought to feel grateful to him. We are
moved to write a short biography and epitaph
of the Agency, but the ease of the man and his
aahes rises np in our memory, and we give sp
the job in dispair.
Speed The Day I
So it seems we are to be relieved of both
branchesof the Agency on the 25 inst, for which
let all give humble and hearty thanks. The
Senate, however, after Nov. 21st will still bleed
the Treasury to the tune of $9 00 per day and
meet as a Starchamber, to register the degrees
of Bollock. We have no hope of getting rid of
them until the day of tho election—If then.
Nevertheless, let fag prepare to made the. 25th at
this present month with the very whitest of
stones.
Manly Words Eloquently Spoken.
Tho New York Tribune in its notice of that
mustard seed business of the Custom-house Bag
at Sovannab, spake as follows:
The better sense of the Bonthern people will
approve the conduct of the Collector at Savan
nah, Georgia, in rehoisting the United States
flag over tne Custom-house, which thoughtless
subordinates had plaoed at half mast out ot re-
speot to the late General R. E. Lee.
To whioh ineffably ainall-souled outburst the
New York Express thus fitly and forcibly re
sponds. The South lifts its oap in appreciation
of such noble sentiments:
“Tho better sense of the Seutoem people
'will do no such thing,’ nor will the better sense
or the Northern people approve the act of the
Savannah Collector. The flag at half-mast was
but a mark of respect for an eminent publio
man now no more; and to raise it was the reflex
of general opinion where it was raised. Gen.
Lee had done for the booth what hundreds of
brave men, educated as be was and believing as
he did, had done for their country or section.
He had, by the admission of all men, some of
the noblest of human qualities, as honesty, sin
cerity, fidelity,-’gentleness;: forbearance and
courage. The pare ho acted after his defent
was in eveiy respect unexceptionable, and the
fact that his cause was a lost one, and that ho
was the Very embodiment of that lost cause, as
the chief of the Confederate armies, caused all
generous hearts in the Union ranks to rospeot ner
his misfortunes, even though they had no sj m-
pathy with the cause of them. In the South,
to have raised a Union or Revenue flag at half-
mast on such an occasion was most natural, snd
to change its position, and to endorse this
change by the Secretary of the Treasury, was a
piece of meanness which ‘the better sense* of
very few persons will approve. The Consuls
of aii nations in the South raised their flags at
half-mast yesterday,-in honor of a brave, virtu
ous and modest public man. It was simply a
token of respect for a well known aud well be
loved citizen. In the same spirit nations victo
rious in battle, ships triumphant in war, gov
ernments in the hoar of their conquest; have
Baluted the flags of those onoe their enemies.
No one will forget the honors paid to George
Washington in England at the close of the Rev.
olotion, nor the reception of old John Adams,
aa the first Federal Ameriean Ambassador, by
King George at the Court of St. James. It re
mains for the bigots ef America, five years and
a half after the war ended, to oppose a passing
remembrance to the virtues of a brave man,
and at the same rime to inflict a wound upon
the living and the dead."

After the surrender, he thought that the Eman
cipation Act, had freed him from the matrimo
nial bonds, and he therefore deserted his old
love for a now Dinah. The former wife, in
conversation with colored friends, animadverted
npon hia oonductin abandoning her for another
she-male. This enraged and incensed the cou
ple to such a degree that they had her arrested
for slander. Upon hearing the evidence, the
Magistrate dismissed the warrant for slander,
and sentenced the man to pay a fine or go to the
chain-gang. Wife No. 2 appealed to wife No.
1 to lend her the money to pay the fine, to keep
their polygamous husband from the chain-gang.
This she did, and ont of gratitude, the truant
has gone back to his first love.
The fable of the living jaokaas kicking the
dead lion is very forcibly illustrated t by 4ha
order of Mr. BoutweR to the collector at Savan
nah, in regard to the custom-house flag, whioh
bad been placed at half-mast for the death of
Robert -E. Lee. The dead lion, however, did
hot complain, Shd the living jaokaas brayed
triumphantly, just as his fellows of the radical
preair wHi do in the present instance.—Chicago

Table Mountain and Truthful James.
The following,, which has been going the rounds
for some time, is from the band of F. Bret Harte,
author of “The Look of Boaring Camp," “The Out
casts of Poker Flat,” and several poems, full of hu
mor and exquisite description:
I reside at Table Mountain, and my name is Truth
ful James;
I am not up to small deceit or any sinful games;
And I'll tell in simple language what I know abont
the row
That broke np our society on the Stani-laue.
Now nothing could be finer or more beautiful to
see
Than the first six months' proceedings of that same
society.
Till Brown, of Calaveras, brought a lot of fossil
bones,
That he found within the tunnel near the tenement
of Jones.
Then Brown he read a paper, and he reconstructed
there
From those same bones an animal that was extreme
ly rare;
And Jones then asked the Chair for a suspension of
the rules
Till he could prove that those same bones were one
of his lost moles.
Then Brown he smiled a bitter smile, and said hia
greatest fault
Was that he had been trespassing on Jones’ family
vault;
He was the most sarcastic man, this quiet Mr.
Brown,
And on several occasions he had cleaned out tho
town.
Now I bold it is not decent for a scientific gent
To say another is an ass—at least to all intent;
Nor should the individual who happens to be meant
Beply by heaving rockB at-him to any great ex
tent.
Then Abner Dean, of Angels, raised a point of or
der, when
A chunk of old red sandstones took him in the ab
domen.
He smiled a kind of sickly smile and curled up on
the floor,
And the subsequent proceedings interested him no
more.
Then, in less time than I write it, erciy member
did engage
In a warfare with tho remnants of a paleozoic age,
And the way they heaved those fossil s in their an
ger was a Bin,
And the skull of an old mammoth caved the head
of Thompson in.
And this is all I have to aay of theso improper
games, .
For I live at Table Mountain and my name is Truth
ful James; ' /
And I’ve told in simple language what I know about
the row,
That broko up our society upon the Stanislaus.
Charleston, a Reliable Seaport*
From the Charleston Courier, October 12.]
Experience, it has been trnly remarked, is a
great teacher, and this proverb finds a fitting
illistration in the circumstances growing out of
the recent freshet in Virginia. Large capital
had been concentrated in railroad and steam
ship enterprises at Norfolk and Portsmouth,
and it has been sought to sustain the heavy
ontlays thus made, by attempts to make large
sections of distant country tributary to these
investments. Tariffs of freight have been put
in operation which must bo entirely unremuner-
ative, and seem to be persisted in, Bimply be
cause it strikes at the regular business of more
Sonthern posts—and we have in onr State this
policy actively pursued by the Charlotte Road,
whioh charges more for a bale of cotton from
Winnsboro.S. 0., thirty-five miles, to Colombia,
than from Columbia to Charlotte, one hundred
and ten miles, or three times the distance, on
its way to Portsmouth, Ya.
But nature sways her sceptre in spite of capi
tal. The connecting roads Southwest from
Norfolk and Forsmontb, whose ragged rails
bear testimony to the scarcity of their eamings,
have the additional disadvantage of traversing
mountainous regions over costly and dangerous
bridges and trestlings; and the rise of a moun
tain stream, a sudden freshet, breaks np the
transportation facilities of thousands, sends
bills of exchange on cotton, in transit, but
blocked np on the edge of broad ohasms, to pro
test-while on the other side of this impassable
gulf, hundreds aud thousands of tons of valua
ble merchandise await the slow aud difficult re
construction of bridges and trestles—groceries
for Selma, perishing—dry goods for Memphis,
getting out of style—boots and shoes for Vicks
burg, moulding in exposed localities. These
are some of the facts of attempting to force
business out of its natural channels. North
Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi
and Lower Tennessee and North Carolina, are
all reached by regular and always available rail
lines from Charleston, and bnt for the misrep
resentations of parties having private interests
to serve, this great belt ot country could be bet
ter supplied at this port than elsewhere. We
cannot illustrate more clearly thin point than by
taking the most distant point, Memphis, which
seems, these latter years, to be afflicted with a
sort of color blindness, seeing everything with
a rose-tinge of hopo at Norfolk. Loaded cars
can bo sent to Charleston from Memphis, 750
miles, without breaking bulk, and yet cotton is
forced to Norfolk, over nearly 1000 miles of rail,
breaking bulk more than once “en rente,” wa
bolieve, and every winter interrupts the transit
—ice and snow alternating with freshets to de
stroy regularity.
But to recur to the advantages of our own
]>ort. It is always open, the Atlantic Ooean is
insight of its piers—an unbroken line of five
feet gauge railways reaches Nashville, Memphis
and Vicksburg ; on the outer circle of available
territory between whioh points and the “City
by the Sea,” crops enough are raised and mer
chandise enough consumed, to sustain semi
monthly steam lines to Europe, a daily line to
New York, and corresponding facilities to Phil
adelphia and Baltimore.
In confirmation of what we have written, we
notice the arrival from Norfolk of the steam
ship Albermarle, with 600 tons of merchandise
foif Western points, which has been re-shipped to
this city, and goes West by our splendid rail
lines, in consequence of the serious disaster
which has destroyed so much of life and prop
erty in Virginia. Another vessel of large ton
nage is also expected; and onr regular lines are
now receiving at New York, Philadelphia, and
Baltimore, a great tonnage of this freight,
which, in other days, was always passing through
Charleston to the West, bnt which has since
the war, from adverse causes, not entirely in the
power of Charleston to overcome, been diverted
over circuitous lines to more Northern ports.
Foi an all-the-year-round route there can be
no better line than via Charleston. With, rail
roads capable of pouring in 4,000 to 5,000 bales
of cotton a day, and steamships moving 2,000
to 2,500 bales in a single cargo—this freightage
can be brought back to its old channel.
’ The Heathen Chinee.
It reads very strangely to find the New York
World disoonrssing thus on the Chinese ques
tion:
In tho friendly game of oards played be
tween Truthful James, Bill Nyo and Ah! Sin,
(Truthful James being tho historian of the af
fair), it is ovident that the purpose was to get
the belter of Ah Sin. With this end in view,
Nyo had surreptitiously provided himself with
certain winning trump-cards,which were to have
been used on AU Sin as occasion required. But as
Truthful James ■ was moved to remark, “for
ways that are dark the heathen Chinee is pe
culiar”—so much so, indeed, that in the courso
of the game Ah Sin, who was supposed to
know nothing of poker, developed the aston
ishing faot that, concealed in his ample sleeve,
were twenty seven packs of oards—more than
enohgh to enable him, if the necessity should
arise, to hold hia own against his two adversa
ries. What followed? “We are ruined by
Chinese cheap labor,” roared the discomfittea
Nye ; “and he went for that heathen Chinee”
(and no wonder); thus establishing the impor
tant fact that Adi Sin's “ little game ” was ob
noxious to him merely because tho Celestial
was more “ handy ” than himself. Truthful
James tells a plain story, and there is food for
reflection in the moral of Nye’s going for Ah
Sin. Bill Nye evidently had a good deal of hu
man nature in his composition. From the turn
things took, with poor Ah Sin, some people
might be led to infer that in his special case
lay the whole sum, scope and argument—past
present and to oome—of the gar at Chinese la-
xur question.

There is a clause in tho Constitution of the
State of Georgia which grants any citizen of
the State the right to withhold from the pay
ment of his debts the sum or its equivalent of
$3000 in gold. This is a privilege of which we
may naturally act! reasonably expect the “world"
will take the benefit; and some members of the
Church have been so inconsiderate as to sup
pose that it was not wrong for them to take the
benefit of it, inasmuch as it is the law of tho
land. Bnt we hold that no Christian can take
the benefit of that law without violating the law
of Christ, even if he is not in debt. For if he
is in debt, and takes the advantage of that law
with the purpose of paying his debts, he is
taking an undue advantage of hia creditors, in
using their money against their will; for if he
had the consent of his creditor, there would bo
no necessity to resort to the Homestead. The
Word of God declares that the “borrower is
servant to the lender,” but the Homestead
makes the lender servant to the borrower; it
places tho creditor at the mercy of the debtor.
It is a further violation of the law of God,
which requires ns to do unto others as we would
have them do unto us. We would advise breth
ren to note the fact, in the first chapter of Dan
iel, that the Hebrew children would not eat the
portion of meat and wine provided them by the
King of Babylon, because they could not do so
without defiling themselves; nor do we believe
that a Christian can under any circumstances
tako the benefit of the Homestead without de
filing himself, even if he is not in debt; for
one not in debt has no excuse to resort to
tho Homestead, and hence must be influenced
by a spirit of “providing for the things
of to-morrow,” in violation of the law of Christ.
And if it is wrong to resort to the homestead to
stay the payment of his debts, it is, of coarse,
wrong to resort to it to escape them wholly,
whether it be as principal or security; because
in this case as in the other, it is a violation of
contract. We believe that wa fully appreciate
the difficulties by which some brethren are sur
rounded who are in debt aud who have lost
their properly by the late war, bnt we still hold
that they are not thereby justified in doing
wrong; but that thoy are required by the law
of Christ to turn the other cheek, and, to give
tho cloak also, that is, that tho loss of properly
is not to move them from right, nor even life
itself. For we know that these trials have not
been permitted to come npon us to drive us
from the sanctuary of God, to trust in an arm
of flesh, and to make us worse, but they are de
signed rather to cause us to amend our ways
and build up the breaches in the wall that sepa
rates us from the world. We are commanded by
Christ to “seek first the kingdom of God and
his righteousness and all these things (food and
raiment) shall be added unto ns." We are
taught by Him that he cares for the sparrows,
that the hairs of our heads are numbered, that
he clothes the fields and that his care is mnch
greater for us; that no good thing will be with
held from them that walketh uprightly. Surely
then we depart from the sure promises when
we violate his law in taking advantage of our
neighbor (extorting hia consent) to stay the
payment of onr debts, or to escape them en
tirely, or if ont of debt to provide beforehand
for escaping our obligations in' fature. We
think it an erring from the faith hence disor
derly, and as such we are commanded to with
draw from it. Nor is it resistance to the law
of the land to deoline availing ones self of the
benefits (?) of the homestead, for none are
compelled by law to take it; and even if they
were, we hold that it would be wrong for them
to do so, but still not to resist that or any other
law of man by force, whioh is the kind of re
sistance we are forbid to resort to and which
brings damnation. We are commanded to re
sist the devil in whatever guise he may present
himself. But Christians are required to submit
to any losses they may incur by the people of the
world taking the homestead. We are command
ed to love one another, and shonld manifest
that love in a great measure to our brethren
who, rather than violate the law of Christ in
taking a homestead, should render all they
have to their creditors; and this ire believe,
brethren, yon will do. Therefore, we advise
that any member who resorts, under any cir
cumstances, to the homestead, be dealt with by
the church, not aa an enemy but as an erring
brother; and that all Sciptural means be used
to retain and reclaim him. And we advise all
brethren who have resorted to the homestead
to renounce it and return to the bosom of the
church, and we believe that it will be well with
them. Brethren, let us remember that Ho’has
promised never to leave nor forsake ns; that
He has loved us with an everlasting love, chos
en ns to salvation before the world began, re
deemed ns by Hia Son, and quickened and
taught us by His Spirit, and that we are to glo
rify Christ as the light of the world and tho
salt of the earth; and seeing suoh unspeakable
meroieB are bestowed upon ns what manner of
men wo ought to be in all Godlioess and hon-
esty. May the Lord bless you! Amen.

WONDERS OF THE TELEGRBP1I.
How We tiet the War News—The Operator
at Heart’s Content.
From the Journal of the Telegmph.
The press dispatches from Europe to New
York during the last four weeks numbered about
100,000 words. New York has been better
j mated on the issue of the war each day, than
• Liondon, Paris or Berlin. These dispatches
have almost wholly been sent by a single cable,
foil one-third of the whole to a single daily pa-
~er, and with marvelous rapidity aud accuracy.
'amiliar as we are with tho work of the tele
graph, it has been a marvel to us. To hundreds
of thousands of minds, the whole process is and
has been a deep enigma.
Hero is a man sitting in a dark room at
Heart's Content. Tho ocean cable terminates
here. A fine wire attached thereto is made to
surround two small cores of soft iron. As the
electric wave, produced by a few pieces of cop.
per and zino at Valentia, passed through the
wire, these oores became magnetio enough to
move the slightest object. A looking-glass, half
an inch in diameter, is fixed on a bar of iron
one-tenth of an inch square and half an inch
long. On this tiny glass a lamp is made to
glare so that its light is reflected on a tablet on
the wall.' The language of the cable is denoted
by the shifting of thin reflected light from aide
to side. Letter by letter is thus expressed in
this flitting idium in utter silence on the wall
There is no record made by the machine except
as the patient watcher calls out to a comrade
the translated flashes aa they ooiqe, and whioh
ha records. It seems like a miracle of patience.
There is something of awe creeps over ns aa we
see the evidence of a human touch 3,000 miles
away swajing that tide of light. '
By such a delicate process as this, and after
being repeated from lino to line five times be
fore its ultimate copy is in'New York, have the
great battles been recorded in our daily papers
with great particularity, and sent throughout
the Union. Nothing like it has ever before
been accomplished. Tho enterprise of tho New
York press has eclip3ed that of ■ the wealthiefA
and oh.'est prisses in Europe. It is charaoter-
istip of the nntioa to :do its work grandly and
well.

SINGULAR SUICIDE IN XEW OR-
- LEANS.
Yonnar Gentleman and Lady Jump Into
the River.
From the Few Orleans Picayune. ]
One of the most remarkable cases of suicide
that has ever startled the community occurred
at the foot of Soraparu street, about five o’clock
this (Tuesday) morning. A young man and
woman, by mutual consent, proceeded to the
river’s edge, and, locking hands, jumped into
tho river and wore drowned. The namo of the
man is Andrew Ryan; he is about twenty.three
years of age, and a native of Ireland. The girl’s
name is Jane Sweeny, seventeen years of age,
and a native of Scotland. It has been ascer
tained that tney were lovers, and for some time
have been living in intimate relations.
The girl's nature recoiled from this disreputa
ble life, and her importunities have been inces
sant that he would many her. The persuasions
of her friends were also added; and the man
was finally given to understand that this aot of
justice to tne girl oonld no longer be postponed.
Her sin was the. result-of inexperience—of her
friendless condition and affection for him.
These representations ware, however, unable to
subdue his repugnance to the marriage, and he
stated that he would rather die than submit to
suoh an alternative. The girl, dietraoted with
grief, and mad, it may be, with despair, re
plied that if death waa the only alternative, she
would share it with him. TCda has been going
on for shveral days. Monday night they had an
interview, and conversed for several hoars to
gether. The result of this interview has been
the double suicide just committed.
