• THOSE WHO LIVE IK GLA83 H'.UaSS SHOULD
NOT THROW STONES.
The British press has been raising
' terrific howl over the corruption of Tan
‘ kee officials, but England’s skirts are by
no means clear. Certain commissions iu
• her army ere bought and sold like stocks
in the markets How often do we read
ot such and such an .filacer having "sold
out.” That simply means that ho has
sold hi* ennimis-icn. and that the pur
chaser, instead of having acquired » mili
tary education, either in the academy or
the field, has pai 1 down so many pounds
to have his name enrolled, and to draw
his pay r.^.an efii-erin her Majesty’s mil-
itar service. ’ Veij often this purchaser
is a mete stripling—a dandy who says
*'aw ah, J bn, bwlcg me some toast;’
but still he is put O order about beard
ed men. He is a'brainless fop, without
the least experience, yet he commands
grizzled veterans asho have seen service
in the field—all by virtue of geld ' He’e
bought and he’* paid for it, and 'tis his
But these arc comparative tiifl *s L
ns look still higher. Sir Rabett Walpole
said, "Every man: has his price.” Mind
you, he was judging human nature by
the British, his countrymen. By the
way, some little time before Sir Robert
came into this sublunary existence, Phi!
lip of Macedon remarked that no garrison
was impregnable that would admit a mule
laden *itn gold; and long before Puiiip
was born, somebody else said similar
things. Probably such observations have
been made by men since the foundation
of the world—everything here recorded
b»ing very much to the point, as the
reader will readily perceive But I must
get ha E Sir Rob* rt, on one occasion
was -till more nointed, indeed personal,
in the application of his remark Whil
a warm debate was going on in the House
Of Commons, he said to Mr Levison, near
whom he was standing, "You see with
what zeal and vehemmence these gentle
men oppose, and yet I know the price of
evert/ mm in. this house, except three, and
your brother is one of them ’ That
brother was herd Gower, who, soon After,
proved that he was not incorruptitde. In
fact, 1 doubt if S:r Robert tnought that
he was. hut wished to be polite to the
gent email with whom he was converging.
Ou another occasion Sir Kobert wiriied
to carry a measure in too Ho so of Com
mons to which he knew there would be
great opposition, and which he knew
was disliked by somo of his dependents.
Ashe was walking along-oae day he met
a gentleman of the opposition, whom be
imagined to be so avaricious that he
might ho boldly app oac.,ed with money
in hand. lie took the member to one
side and said, " Such a au-a-uro comes
on this day; give me your vote, and here
isa bill for two thousand pounds” The
member answered: "Sir -Robert, you
have lately served some of my particular
friends, and when my wife was last at
court the King was very gracious to her,
which must have happened at your in
stance. I snould, therefore, think my
self very ungrateful (putting the bank
bill in his pocket) if I were to rc-fuso
the favor you now a*k of me ”
As to bribery at elections, any one who
has -tiulied Engli-b customs knows that
the wholeeaie buying and selling that ac.
companies the exercise ot th • right of
suffrage in the British dominions so far
eurpos.-es anything on this side of the
.water, as to render oven the Yankees
.actually envious of the bad pro euri-
,cen. e of their progenitors, in this respect.
It is ail too notorious to waste much
time about it; but let us have one spe
cial instance: When the borough of
Wendover was in possession ot Eirl Wr-
ney, ho generallv allowed the tenants to
live rent-free on condition that they
should vote for liis nominee. In 1768,
however, a wealthy lace manufaciurer
bought up I be voters, and they, prefer-
ing money in band to the prospective ad
vantage of living rent-free, returned the
aforesaid J.tee maser (who was a Mr. At-
kiu-), and Sir Kobert Darling, a former
sheriff of London. His lordship -*as so
exaspi-r.itcd that ho turned out the ten
ants. who took refuge in huts and tents,
where th<'y remained six months, when a
promise of good behavior restored them
to their dwellings.
They, however, were bent on revenge
and hided their time. In 1781, Eirl Ver-
nev, fearing that ho could not be re
turned from the county, offered himself
and Mr. Jol-.Ce as candidates for Wen
dover. The voters, (or as they aro gen
erally called over there, electors.) know
ing that his lordship’s pecuniary embar
rassments would soon compel him to sell
his piopcrty in the borough, put them
selves up to the bigrnst bidder. It was
• settled t bat, for j£6.G00. two candidates
•should be chosen opposed to the Earl. A
-gentleman, by appointment, met ^ie
electors of the horougo about a mile from
-the town. " Where did you tome float ?”
asked the vot-rs " From the moon,”
answered the gi-ntleman. “ Wbat news
from the moon?” was t ho next enquiry.
“ I hi-7e brought .£6 000 from the moon
to be distributed by the borough agent,”
was the reply. Says toe quaint old book
from which I get this anecdote, " The
electors, thus satisfied, aud yielding to
the ail subsidizing lunar influence, chose
the candidates and received their To
ward.”
ESrKNSIVE, EXCESSIVE, EK0C2Z0US ECOTI3JI
Well, why not allow me to display a
little—I mean very a large quantity of
it, iik- as oth-r people. It is a positive
and actual fact that I have heard at
least tuiee men wonder who your Eaton-
ton correspondent is. Now, most peopte
would imagine, if they were in my posi
tion, that they were already famous.
‘ And is it fame?
i fain would know, .
. Hive I already won a name ?
files 4 you, poor uoy, no I”
Ah ! but you needn’t twit a fellow in
that way. I said most people would make
a uii-tHKe, hut I do not. I only mean to
insinuatelh it these indication- prove that
tlie-e indications prove that Famo will
coute uf: er awhile. Can I ever get to my
point? It is this: All three of these
people that indulged in conjectures con
cerning my identity guessed wrong
Etch guessed a different man,and not
one if them guessed me. Nobody has
asked me or suspected me, ana it is real
fun for me to bear the talk. It is like
going about masked, knowing everybody
you me.-t, und nobody knowing yon.
Some have thought they had spotted mo
simply because I havo subsidized, os it
were, the talk that I have beard trom the
lips ot two cr three gentlemen whom I
hear converge very often. This can
scarcely tie called piracy, can it? At
any rate, these same gentlemen are the
only ones who have any right to com
plain.
HEAD AND FOOTSTONBS FOR SOLDIERS.
There will be an entertainment- given
by tbe ladies of this community on or
about tbe 20th day of April, for the pur
pose of raising funds to p’aco head and
fool stones at the graves of such soldiers
as are buried in the cemetery here, out-
si le of family lots. Of tho exact nature
of :ho exhibit-ton I am not informed,
but have heard it rumored that the
Biiti-h-horn aud world-renowned Mad
am.' J.i rl.-y will have something to do with
it. Then there is A splendid amat> ur
string band—at least, whether organized
or not, there are six, or eight or more
gentlemen hero who do sometimes con
gregate; and
"Their* la the lay thst lightly floats.
And theirs are thr murmuro-g. dying enter.
That (all or soft as snow on the sea.
And mrlt in the heart os instantly 1
And the passionate stndnthat. deeply going.

Ruffles tbe ware, bat s* eetens it too 1
It i* to be presumed that these gen
tlemen will assist- Besides, there’s our
pet—at least, one of Eitonton’e pats,
THE BRASS BAND.
This town is very proud of her brass
band. This brass ban a is a great en-
liveuer of our town. Those who havo
heard the marine band play on the lawn
among the trees of tho White House
grounds in Washington City, late on
balmy, sunny afternoon, as it used to do
before the war, ana have also heard onr
hand on tbe grass among tho elms in our
delightful square, admit that they expe
rience altncst os much pleasure from the
latter as they did from the former.
There is no extravagance in this talk
I do not pretend to say that an amateur
a-sedation can acquire the manual dex
terity of those who exercise their fingers
on the keys all the while, but I do assert
that'the Eitonton Brass Band would do
credit to any town in Georgia. In fine
weather last summer it afforded vast en
tertainment for tbe village. I have been
reminded of all this by tbe fact that one
afternoon last week it assembled in the
square and poured torth soul stirring
strains for the first time—if I urn not
mistaken—this spring. We are all look
ing antiously for the weather to become
such as to ensure us a frequent recur
rence of the exquisite pleasure afforded
by these outdoor, free concerts.
“ KIUBALLYILLIANS.”
Is not this wrong? Should it-not be
divided and spelt thus: Kimb, all vil
lains ? I ask merely because the word
"kimb’’ is used in the Brobdignagian
language to signify “crew, crowd or ring,"
With tho words “ all” and "villains,”
suppose most people aro acquainted.
AS I WAS ABOUT TO REMARK,
when these villains interrupted me,
everbody knows that the entertainment
to be given by the ladies here, whether
the bands assist or not, will lie highly
entertaining and worth a ride on the
railroad to see. The ladies in Eatontcn
have no such word in their vocabulary
“ fail.” Try them for once, yo who
doub*, and bo convinced. And then—
but I tantalize nobody. Lone Hand.
Tho Suffering Seaboard of Sonth
Carolina.
Uodpr this caption the Southern Pres
lylerian Review for April contains an ad
mirably written and exceedingly inter
esting arti .’le descriptive of tho former
condition of tho inhabitants of that
region and thc-ir present wretchedness
One feature m tho character of these
lowiandets was their remarkable local
attachments, which, though no countries
could have 1-eea more unlike, were os
strong as tho Switzer’s love for his Al
pine heights. The writer ascribes this
in the former instance to the same cause,
to wit: that in their seaboard country
nature and art were not divorced, but
were strangely mingled with each other.
The elegant refinements of civilized life
existed side by side as it were with the
untamed wildness of the original scenery.
It was only necc-ssary to walk a short
distance from many a mansion which
was the scat cf a polished culture and
,ho abode of a generous hospitality to
encounter tho frowning edge of a deep
and solemn swamp with its tanglc-il
thickete, its aisles of majestic cypresses,
its weird and dreadful gloom. Such
scene is fitly described in these beautiful
lines by Siinms, tho poet aud historio
grapber of Carolina.
“Cyprcs*cs
Each a groat. ghastly giant, old an I gray.
StrideoVr th«du-*. dank track, with buttresses
pread round, apart, rot se mine to Mistain,
et linkeil by wc-et twines, that under i.-alh
Bend with each arching trunk. Flint *tie vines,
That swing like monstrous serp-nts iu the sun.
Kind top to top, until the encircling trees
Group all in i-lnsn embrace. V’ast skeletons
1)1 forest* that have perished ages gone.
Moulder in mighty «na«scs on tn« plain.
Now buried in some dark and mystic tarn.
Or sprawled above it, resting in ere ft- arms.
And making for the opossum and tho fox
Bridges that help them as they roam by night.”
To these wild abodes of deer and water
fowl the native whites - usually wealthy
planters, aud descended from Huguenot
or Cavalier stock - were singularly at
tached. And to this hour the low coun
try man, whether of Carotin i or Georgia,
(and the two regions are almost pre
cisely similar.) wherever his lot may be
cast, sighs for the old home now too often
lying waste and polluted by the presence
of the thriftless African.
Our author ascribes this love of their
country, to tho numberless revolutionary
exploits and traditions of which in the
days of Marion and Horry, it was the con
etant theatre We may add, too, that there
was very little of emigration or immi
gration to that region. Tbo people were
born on tho soil and for many genera
tions had dwelt in their ancestral homes.
Indued, this segregation in some com
munities was carried too far, and result
ed in such a net work of intermarriages
hat whole neighborhoods and islands
were akin to each other.
When the war broke ont, a more inde
pendent, happy, hospitable, refined and
virtuous people never lived.
The author says, “ social abuses thero
wore ot course, for there 13 no Utopia on
earth.” But these abuses wero the ex
ceptions, not the rula in society, and they
were sternly frowned upon universally by
the good and just.
In those days, ho that was cruel to his
slave and unmindful of their domestic re
lations, or a professed negro trader, had
no social position or standing whatever,
but was regarded with loathing and ab
horrence. Aud perhaps it may be affirm
ed that tbi3 spontaneous condemnation
and tabooing on tho part of all decent
people, waa more potential for the pro
tection of the negro than the mo3t strin
gent laws could havo been. But we
must piss on-
Oar author says, tbe ruin and misery
on the suacoast of Carolina, which were
the result of emancipation, and the long
continued presence of Yankee armies,
are now declared to be the “just retribu
tion inflicted upon slaveholders by Prov
idence for their crimes.” Tho fallacy
and injustice of this conclusion he makes
sufficiently evident.
Suffering is frequently calamity falling
upon the righteoa3 and wicked alike,
and therefore incapable of being con
strued as the discriminating mea-ure
of a vindicating Providence. It is some
times disciplinary, and designed, ns the
expression of fatherly kindness, to de
velop tbe character nnd promote the
good of the sufferer. And it is at other
times exemplary, and intended to fur
nish a specimen «-f heroic constancy and
patience os a stimulus to virtue and ho
liness in others. Surely no one would
contend tbat the martyr, in consequence
of his suffixing a fiery death, is bound to
have been a capital sinner. Tbat would
bo to confound the highest exercise of
piety with tho lowest development of
crime.
“It is cafe, it is right, for those who
wore slaveholders to humble themselves
in their sufferings, under tho mighty
hand of God. B it it does not follow
that it is either safe or right for others
to interpret thoir sufferings as expres
sions of God’s penal displeasaro against
them. To say that they suffer as alavu-
holdors, therefore slaveholding was a sin,
is to prove too mneh. Tho same lino of
trgumoDt might bo used to show that
because certain men suffer as Christians,
therefore Christianity is a sin!
'•It is one thing to say tbata man ought
to suffer because ho is a criminal, and
another thing to say tbat a men isa crim
inal oceans t bo suffers-”
What will those who thus pronounce
judgment upon U3 say, if the sequel
proves that tbe emancipated negroes
themselves have been the greatest suf
ferers by that act? Surely, thus far the
aggregate of misery to them has far ex
ceeded the amount of benefit they have
experienced, and the future gives no
promise of a change for the better. Did
space permit, this assertion could bo
made good by the strongest array of facts
in the premises.
Oar author paints in vivid colors, the
present poverty nnd sufferings of the
noble people who once flourished in this
portion of Carolina.
Tho wresting away of their lands by
the Government—the destruction of roof
tree and property—the insults of usurp
ing carpet-baggers and insolent ne
groes—the successive failure of crop3
from caterpillar and tempest—the great
burden of taxation—tho privations and
hardships of gentle women—these, and
many other mishaps make up a calendar
of misfortunes sufficient to challenge tbe
sympathy of the world. But we can fol
low hi m no farther.
Tho entire article is replete with in
tcrest, and would that we had the space
to reproduce many of, the forcible thoughts
and wise suggestions of the author. Ho
considers, almost under every aspect,
the problem of tho future of that be
nighted district of country, and the
probable fata of the two races who still
occupy it, but under greatly changed re-
lotions.
Mr. Calhoun, in oco of his speeches on
the force bill, declared that “ tho effect
of forced emancipation would be the ex
pulsion of tho whites from the Atlantic
States.”
But that renowned statesman greatly
underrated the vigor end endurance o
the Anglo-Saxon element, for, with the
exception of very small areas too insa-
iou3 for the white man to inhabit all
the year round, the reverse of the propose
tion is likely toprove true with tho lapso
of time. And even in those circumstan
ces in one instance, at least, which
comes under the observation of the
writer, wbero tho negroes hare purchased
the land they cultivate from the original
owners who were unable to exist in the
summer months amid the malarial ex
halations of the swamps, owing to their
thriftless character, it is highly probable
that in a brief period every foot of the
soil will bo mortgaged for food and sup
plies. and revert back again to the white
trader anti merchant.
In other words, it is impossible for ig
norance, laziness and vice to make head
against education, capital and a refined
civilization. To the negro, then, th re
is no hope of progress and equality
among his white brethren. Even at the
North, where he is numerically a mere
handful, and powerless to compete with
the white race should bo an object of
sympathy and commiseration, stesdil
as be melted away from the land and
retrngaded in the scale of being.
There is one solution, and one only to
the difficulty. Let th.- African resume
bis normal condition as n servant and la
borer, with perfect li erty and pr tection
under the laws, but until educated and
qualified, with no franchise privilege. This
will place him in a position where he wtii
form no antagonisms, nnd yet b» free to
lift himself when able, from obscurity,
into notice and political consequence.
Of course this must be done not by
ass legislation, but by the enactment of
laws requiring a property and intellectual
qualification or 6. th from all who are in
vested with the ballot.
But we can dwpll no longer upon this
interesting subject, and commend the
article under review to the careful pe-
ru.-al and eon-ideration of our readers.
THE PRESIDENCY.
Ex-Spe ker Uisttne.
Tho publication in the Indianapolis
Sentinel relative to Mr. Blaine was re
published this morning, says a Couriea
Journal telegram, and naturally created
great leal of talk and feeling in politi
cal circles This war on Blaine is wholly
inside the R "publican ranks. II" is him
self aware of this fact, and th.it it is de-
gned to kill him off in advance of the
assemblage of the Cincinnati Conven
tion. All during tho winter I have un
derstood that these enemies of Blaine
claimed to havo information rrhtcb, if
ma >e public, would de-troy bim, and it
has been understood lately that the mine
was at lost about to be sprung Blaine
takes tbe attack very coally. Ho kuew
it was coming, and a few days ago quiet-
17 made his preparations to meot it. It
is doubtful whether tbe assault will end
hdke; and I suppose that this is omy an
installment of tho war upon him. • The
wording of the article is calculated, if
not intended, to create the impression
that Governor Mortou or his friends had
pom -thing to do with putting it out
This idea is indignantly denied by Gov.
Morton’s special friends in this city, who
say tbat the publication is false, aud
that- it was fixed up here and sent out to
Indianapolis oy designing men in order
to create the belief tha - . Morton’s friends
bad got it up, and thus create a breach
b-tween Morton and Blaine. Harrison,
who is cited as^a witness in the article
against Blaine, is said to be a respecta
ble gentleman ; but Mr. Blaine’s friends
say that to keep a thing of thi9 kind foi
five years and then spriDg it on the eve
of a nomination, has a suspicious look, to
say tbe least. Toe war between the dif
ferent Republican candidates is daily
growing fi-rce, and promises to bo one
of un* xampled bitterness. They all seem
to distrust one another, aud when an at
tack is made on one of them, the ques
tion is which one of bis rivals prompted
it.
The I'omli-g Impeachment.
Washing on special to lh» Chicago Tribune.!
The managers of the impeachment
trial of Gen. Belknap are busily engaged
trying tho cat-e, which has been di
vided among sub-committees. The sub
committee on the question of jurisdiction
is consulting all tbe available authorities,
und arranging all the evidence and ques
tions of law, and it is understood tbat
they have great confidence tbat they will
be able to convince the Senate of its
jurisdiction. The eub-ccmmittees on
the questions of fact nnd of the law
bearing on tho case are ail ready for tbe
trial, and say that if the Senate eoter-
tiins jurisdiction there can bo no possi
ble escape from a verdict of guilty. The
managers agree tbat the facts establish
their case, nnd will substantiate tho arti
cles. Gen. Belknap’s counsel, Mont
gomery Blair, Jerry Black and Matt
Carpenter, aro also preparing for next
Monday, and it is said tbat they will first
file a demurrer to the jurisdiction of the
Court cf Impeachment over one who was
not an officer of tho Government when
impeached.
By Water Power.
Mr. Jacob Schall has erected a 12 foot
overshot waterwheel with which ho in
tends to run the machinery of his tan-
yard, supplying tho place of mule power,
which he finds to be slow and expensive.
His wheel is finishod and in operation,
and by Tuesday his b3rk-mill will be
ran by it. Tha branch on which his
yard is situated affords plenty of water
to run the machinery.
Something About ills Field nnd the
Candidates—An estimate ot Blaine’s
Strength - HU Tireless Energy—
How CnnkllnK is Working — The
Brlstcwr Movement.
Washington Correspondence of the Philadelphia
Times J
R>-put>licau3 here are setting down to
the conviction that Mr. Blaine holds the
most trumps in the game for tbe control
of the Cincinnati Convention. A week
ago everybody wa3 agog with tho rumor
that Senator Cameron was going to throw
Pennsylvania into Conklmg’s hands, and
03 it was taken for granted that Morton’s
ragged Southern recruits would natural
ly gravitate to him when their chief was
nutof the fight, it really looked as though
tbe egotistical statesman with tbe am.
hro-ial locks had a chance for the stakes.
But now Mr. Bisine's friends say that if
Cameron tries to make that kind of a
trade he can’t celiver the goods. Blaine
has earnest supporters in every Congres
sional district in the State—active, hard
working supporters they are. tco, who
know about as many tricks in poli
tics as the old Chief himself, and they
have been as busy as beaver3 of late trying
to undermine the schemes of Cameron,
Butun and Quay. I beard a Congress
man who is bciievad to know something
of tho situation of tho ex-Spoaker’s can
vass say yesterday that thirty cf the
Pennsylvania delegates were already
committed to vote for him as soon as
Hartranft should bo dropped. No one
of the candidates can hold a candle to
Mr. Blaine in tbo matter cf talent for
organization. To his genins for this
essential thing for success in political
effort he adds a remarkable personal
magnetism, which attaches men to him
nnd makes them follow him as Highland
clansmen do th,ir chief. He has thus
the a >vantage, first, of possessing a large
band of <li-voted adherents, ami,. econd,
of knowing how to utilize them to the
best, advantage.
While other candidates rely on the
support of a section, like Mr. Morten, >r
on White House backing, like Mr Conk-
li :g, or on tbe ref Tin sentiment, like
Mr. Bristow, Mr. Biair-e is at work,
through his army of followers, in every
section and umong all classes of Repub
licans. I estimate his strength oa the
first ballot at Cincinnati at not far from
275 votes. Where are they to come
from, is it asked ? About two-thirds of
the New England delegates will go for
him. Tnen he is sure of Maryland, ana
measurably certain ot the two Virginias,
of North Carolina, Tennessee and Louis
iana. The anti Spencer faction in Alt
bama promise to give him that. State.
The whole Northwest i= con.-eb-d to liiin,
and Illinois leans toward him, but. his
not yet decided to give up Washburn*.
On tho Pacific slope ho is are
of Oregon, nnd is contesting Cali
fornia with Conkling. Thero appear;
to eb but ore' contingency that can <1e
feat him. If the Onto delegation will
hold on to Hayes for t wo or tl ree ballots,
in spite of M-irat Hal-ten-1, uni Mackey
and Quay can beep tbe Pennsylvanians
together, a coalition between M rton’e
aud Cork ling’s forces upon Hayes could,
with the help of Pennsylvaina, nominate
him. In answi r to this sngge-tion of dan
ger Mr Blaine’s friends say that, a largo
portion of tbe Ohio delegation will only
give Gov. Usyes a complimentary vote,
ind that their real pref.-ier.ce8 are either
for B1 line or Bristow They are also con
fident. tbat the Pennsylvania forces will
rumble after trie first ballot; hut even
f they c-in he transferred bolllv from
Harlr.intf t> another candidate, it is not
I'ieve I that they could turn the tide.
Mr. Coukling is doing a good deal of
work umong tbe office holders, and has
undoubtedly, the sympathy of the Presi-
lent. The Bl-tiue ami Bri-tow men both
i-sert that the nomination of either
C .titling or Morton, or of any other man
promptly identified with Grantlsm, would
U-rcpt the party. It would biiug cer
tain ruin at tie election, they a-some,
and therefore the snti-Gr.inr element
would promptl j decide to go off by tnem
selves aud i-ulfer defeat under a leader
of their own choosing.
Washington is a poor place to learn
anything of the Bristow movement. It
has no centre here and no argauizatiin
nut one ean discover. It is said tbat a
few weeks ago, when a crisis w s ex
peeled that would throw Bristow out of
iho Cabinet, ho desired to consult with
hiP frienns us to tho course he should
ursue; but on going over in his mind all
th> person^ he knew iu Wusnington he
:ould not- thick of but four upon whom
he could wholly rely, and one of l hem was
bis own brother. If tho Secretary makes
any ehow of strength at Cincinnati be
yond his own Kentucky delegation aud a
fow votes fiom NtW England, it will be
developed by outside pressure from the
newspapers and from the efforts of influ
ential men a little beyond tho circle of
active politics. He is undoubtedly very
popular with the people, but not with
tho kind of people who go to conventions
and make delegates.
Tne Democrat! are in a state of en
tire quiescenco as compared with tbe Ee-
publicsns; nevertheless great changes
of opinion are taking place' among them
These changes are nil in the direction of
abandoning the old regulars tbat have
been for years before tho public as Pres
idential candidates, and taking up some
frt sh material. The Spanish havo a
proverb that “ there are no birds in last
year’s nesta,” and it expresses pretty
well the present opinion of the Demo
cratic CoDgrossnen about their back
candidates. The bird of success will not
fly from these muaty old nests, they
think; so they talk no more of Hendricks,
and the fine enthusiasm for Tildcn is wilted
like lastsummer’»flowei>,whileThurmau,
Bayard andailtherest of the wheei-borses
of the Democracy aro only watchwords of
tbe past, mentioned with sadnet s,not with
hope. Who is tho coming man? Wuo
the great unknown? Last week every
body was talking of Judge Davis, but
Sunset Cox put a damper on that move
ment by reminding people of bis decis
ion in favor of the Union Pacific railroad
and against the Government, which took
millions from tho Treasury. Just now
there is a drift of the current toward
General Hancock. Tho argument in his
f ivor is not a bad one. A. sMdict can
itidate t* run against a civilian like
Blaine is the idea. It would not be at
all strange if an entirely new candidate,
whose name has not been so much as
whispered as yet, should suddenly sprout
out of the Democratic desert of indecis
ion when the June grass come3.

A Cemcuujul Bulc.
Tne Memphis Appeal says tho pro
mium Centennial bale, in its beautitul
dress of blue silk, golden hoops and ro
settes of national colors, continues to
draw at tUe room3 of tho Cotton Ex
chan je. A number of ladies called on
tho “Prido of the Valley” yesterday,
and were much interested in it3 history
and the part it is to take in tho coming
Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia.
Crowds have visited the Cotton Exchange
iaily since tho hale has been on exhibi
tion, and it will be the centre of attrac
tion as long as it is allowed to remain
therein. By. tho way, we notice that Su
perintendeEtToof has been “marking”
tne bale, by causing tho following in
kcription in gilt letters to be placed od
botti ends: “ Memphis Cotton Exchange;
Centennial Premium Cotton, produced
by Win. Taylor, of Pnillipa county, Ar
kansas, and awarded a premium of
$1,000 by the Memphis Cotton Exchange
ns the finest and best bale of cotton pro
duced in the Memphis District, crop of
1875-1870, for exhibition at the Ameri
can Centennial.” On one side of the in
scription is tho coat «f arms of Tennes
see, nnd on the other that of Arkansas—
each surrounded by artistic decoration
work done.by skillful bands. The work
was not completed late yesterday after
noon, but when finished tbe premium
bain of cotton will possess new attrac
tions even for those who have seen it
every day since it was first placed in po
sition.

Sensible Advice.
You aro asked every day, through the
columns of newspapers and by your drug
gist, to use something for dyspepsia and
liver complaint that you know nothing
about. You get discouraged spending
money, with but little success. Now, to
give yon satisfactory proof that Green’s
August Flower will cure you of dyspepsia
and liver complaint, with all it3 effects,
such as sour stomach, sick headache,
habitual costiveness, palpitation of tho
heart, heart burn, water brash, coming
up of food after eating, low spirits, etc.,
we ask yon to go to your druggist and
get a sample bottle of Green’s August
Flower for 10 cents and try it, or a reg
ular size for 75 cents. Two doses will
relievo yon. mar 1-eod-tf.
“Low Prices.”
There is nothing that possesses a great
er charm than light expenses—every mer
chant who sells his g09ds at so low a
figure as to pleaso tho multitude will be
patronized by them. Somo people prefer
cheap goods, though they may be very
inferior. But when we get sick and re-
quire medicine to cure us, is' it not re
markable as well ostrue,that we will only
use the most reliable medicines, prepar
ed by tbe most sgillful chemist, perfectly
regardless of expense ?
This is the se--r- t of the great popu
larity of Dr. Tutt’s medtunes. He was
for many years a teacher in one of the
best medical colleges iti the United States
and has been engaged in tlio practice of
medicine for thirty years. Thus guaran
teeing tbat hi* <-e iicines are prepared
upon strictly a cientifio principles. Tutt’s
pilis have been in use for twenty years:
and havo beccino a household word in
n»atly every country on tho globe.

So rapid was the advance ot this insidious com-
S laint that I *on felt thit my constitution was
token. After sufferiug lor several years, I was
advised to try Simmons’ Liver Regulator, but
declined, because 1 had conceived it to be “onlv
patent medicine.” At length, believing it could
do no harm, I yielded. In a few months I be
came not only relieved, but absolutely cured,
and for two years past I have been thoroughly
restored to health and the enjoyment of life. I
look upon the “Regulator” as a moat excellent
medicine, and will always have it by me to re

write this in gratitude for the benefit I have re
