Wo call attention to the really interesting ar-
tlolo of "John Ball," who is an intelligent citi-
xen of the fait anchored I»le, and a representa
tive man in every sense. Siek of nnireraal
suffrage, and the "boat government the world
ever raw,” oar eympathies are in perfect aooord
with tbia itardy chip of the old Engliah block.
It England, after long eentariea of peaoeand
civil liberty, abonld fall under the curve of red
Itepablioantam, and a mobocraey, no govern
ment on earth eon be mada stable and perma
nent. Bat no fear of this. Tbo middle claie
are her balwatk, and that pnblio debt, in which
Prinee, Bargee* and Peasant are equally inter-
mted, acta aa an adamantine cement, welding
together by the common lie of self-interest,
every element of society.
That a nobleman abonld bo allowed to take
the stamp at all against the government, la the
beat proof of the confidence which the royal
family reposes in the loyalty and good sense of
the people. We are pleased to learn that hia

Tlie Closing Tear.
We close a rlater, t year to-day. All its moral,
social, political and physic,] developments have
-been heady end turbulent. Coming In with the
conquest of France and the ntter prostration of
that great power under the iron heel of Ger
many, the rueful internecine struggle with com*
monism followed, and opened the seven seals
of wrath and ruin to Faria. The bloody war in
Cuba has continued to outrage humanity with a
never ending series of butcheries, end we may
say, in brief, that every political demonstration
the world over, bss been extreme and violent
We see in the United States, all the muniments
of civil liberty trampled under foot by a reck
less and audacious party rage, and rapine and
plunder pervading every department of govern
ment There never was a time in which the
dominant power, whatever it might be, seemed
to be exercised with more insolent oootempt for
its subjects. It may be said that the weak bad
few or no rights In 1871.
The elements have seemed to sympathize
with the prevailing spirit of the times, end the
year has been signalized by greet meteorologi
cal violences. Great tempests, tornadoes, rains,
snows and floods—excessive droughts and heats
and awful rigors of temperature, have charac
terized the year; and with these natural phen
omena have come the terrible disasters by fire,
which Will make the year memorable to the end
of time, aa one of extraordinary violence and
disaster.
And, almost as a matter of course, the intel
lectual phenomena of the year have been cor
respondent It baa been one of extreme posi
tions and sharp and violent antagonisms. The
mighty despotism of foroe has driven the as
sertion of supposed natural rights into corres
ponding violence, eseeas and latitude. The
Franco -German war and its incidents have ar
rayed in extreme and deadly antagonism, all
over the world, the great parties of prescription
and of ao called socialism, end th® morol *i
els of the day may be seen in the marshalling
of the opposing elans for oonflict
In ail these great conflicts both aides are
driven inexorably into nltraiam nnd the parties
are led and characterized by their extremists.
So we see to-day, on the one hand, the party
which holds the blood of the people as base ooin
to barter for the gawds of mere dynastic ambi-
tiou, arrayed apparently against the party which
denies all prescriptive or vested rights whatever,
and insists on reducing mankind to a dead and
miasmatic equality of social, pecuniary, intellec
tual and. industrial condition. Betwoen these
two extremes lie the great bulk of Christendom
but the champions of either will characterise
the fight though not its final issue. The pbil.
oaopby of nature, society and politics is alike
at war with the adjustment of any question on
tn extreme basis. Permanent adjustments are,
in the nature of thing*, always the result of
compromise of opposing forces. And so, fore
casting the future, will it be in this esse after
long and world-wide conflict. The good sense
of mankind revolts alike against the immolation
of nations on the altar of dynaatio ambition, or
on the other hand, the surrender of individual
ism to a falsely alleged necessity in fighting
despots.
The spirit of the age is fretfnl, restless, in
qniring—yearning for something, it knows not
whet. The communist, socialist and woman
suffrage movements are only outcroppings of
an underlying mass of thonghlfnl and earnest
speculation. Wo have arrogantly assumed that
the political philosopher's stone bss been dis
covered in Amerioa, and ere just beginning to
see that the science of government has yet to
be evolved. Discarding the hitherto acoepted
basil of civil authority, wo have founded our
structure upon the assent of the people, and yet
we cannot if we wonld, disguise from ourselves,
that neither God nor nature erect governments
on that foundation. A man finds himself the
subject of God's government withont bis own
consent, and is taunted in Iloly Writ with the
imbecility of any resistance or question. He
finds himself the subject of family government
iu like manner, without ooneent or power of re
sistance ; and, lastly, he finds himself owing
allegiance to human government withont his
own consent or power of resistance;—and in all
these relations alike the subject of severe penal
ties for the violation of obligations which were
imposed npon him and whioh he never volun
tarily assented to or undertook.
Hence the Bepnblicsn basis of Government,
the consent of the governed, is an anomaly in
God's universe, and an indispensable oondition
to its salutary operation in praetioe would seem
to be an exceptional oondition of intelligenoo
and virtue on the part of all these rulers who
are to rule themselves, entirely by their own
oonaent and volition. But so far from insisting
upon tbia and guarding the suffrage with eyes
jealous for its parity and intelligence, our only
anxiety has been to debase and poison it We
are governing empires by tribunals of ultimate
resort, to which wo would not willingly entrust
the question of title to a stray aheep.
AU these questions of government in ita hear
ings npon the interest of society and the indi
vidual, are now the great topics of the time,
end will deepen in interest with every revolv
ing year. The human mind Ik too active any
longer to permit the promise of qniet, and the
next generation will nndonbtedly be more Iron,
bled then even UUs, which is now fretting nwey
ita brief hoar on the stage of human affairs.
Tbo Now Year from a Religious
Standpoint.
In echoing and repeating the aaintation of
"a happy new year to yon all," gentle reader,
may we not be permitted to indicate that course
which will assuredly give fruition to the wish ?
First then we assert, that duty faithfully dis
charged, goes very for to seenre serenity of
mind, end earthly comfort. Whatsoever your
band findeth to do. do with all your might,
the exhortation of holy writ. This principle is
equally applicable to every walk and pursuit of
life. Suooeas, prosperity, the oonfideooe of
your fellow men, all depend npon it. To the
banker then we say, be honest; to the mer
chant, be just iu your dealings; to the profes
sional man, let integrity and honor character
ize your counts; to the pastor, wrestle like
Jaoob of old for a blessing on your charge; all
likewise, we would adjure to be truthful, dili
gent, prompt, and even punctilious in meeting
every moral and pecuniary obligation. Oh,
that men wonld realize that honesty, strict, un
compromising honesty, is not only the safest,
but the surest rood to wealth and preferment
“Be sure your sin will find you out”
Bat at the risk of a rebuke from m<ny, though
eland as a secular newspaper, for this ones,
on the threahhold of another year big with the
fate of thousands, and which may prove the
turning point in your existence, we solemnly
ever, end give our testimony, that the only
perfect pesos and happiness attainable on earth,
must be derived from the Christian's hope and
faith. AU else is ephemeral, delusive, unsatis
factory. And though the infidel may cany it
with a stout heart and high hand in the heyday
of his prosperity, yet the night of death will
find him shorn of hia strength,! wretched, shriek
ing sinner, shivering on the brink of eternity.
Pardon the writer, then, if at this solemn
pause in yonr career, when about to "take an
observation,” and lay a new oourse for yonr
bark through the billowy sees of another year,
he implores you to take the Strioor on board as
yonr pilot, and make him tha “man of yonr
taaL" Do this, and rage and rave the temp
est aa tt may, all will be well with you; and in
God's good time yon will cast anchor in that
bleseed haven, where xephjTS ever blow softly,
and peeoe eternally reigns.
Dear reader, we wish you that happiness the
present year, which the world knowetb not of,
neither can take away.

Nxomoxs Killed.—We have beard of two or

have not deemed the matter of sufficient mo

with the usual brutality.

Eureka Fertilizer.
We unfurl aloft to the breeze to-day, the
broad banner of Messrs. F. W. Sims A Co., the
agents and part owners of this invaluable com
pound. The seniorof the firm is a brother to our
popular townsman, Captain Charles Sims, and
many years ago. in the palmy days of the Sa
vannah Republican, which we earnestly trust
will soon appear again foil orbed above the
horizon, was ono of its editors and proprietors.
No more reliable and worthy gentleman can be
fonnd'in the State.
It was onr good fortune also, to form the ac
quaintance of the other managers of the enter
prise in New York a few months since, and can
endorse them in every particular.
The Eureka works ore located on Long Island,
a few hours’ ride by rail from New York, and
are very extensive and complete. At some fa-
tare day we propose to visit and describe them.
The ingredients employed in the composition
of this fertilizer are of the purest and most con
centrated characters and have won for it a rep
utation second to none in the country. The
best evidenoe of this, is the fact that in no past
season has tt been possible to manufacture more
than half enough to meet the demand.
Added to the vast volume of testimony in its
behalf, the writer can himself bear witness to
the quickness, utility, and permanence of this
manure, in its effects npon the growing crop.
He tried it upon corn the past year, side by
side wilhootton seed in large quantities, and
from the time the spire appeared above ground
until the crop had matured, the superiority of
the former was most plainly discernible. Ap
plied to ootton the results were equally satis
factory.
Our people have the very best assurance that
the richness and value of this popular fertilizer
will continue to be preserved intact, in the
well known character of tbe Southern gentle
men who manufacture and endorse it
It is fortunate that the agricultural commu
nity can now select such plant stimulants for
their farm*, aa tie experience of years has
demonstrated to be genuine and worthy of
oonfideooe. Prominent among them is the
Eureka. See advertisement end full particu
lars elsewhere.
Trie Narrow Uange Bond Tested.
The discnsiion between tho advocates of the
narrow-gauge railroads and their opponents is
having tight thrown upon it by the opening of
the first narrow-gauge railway for passenger
travel and freight constructed in the territory
of the United States. The road ia known as the
‘Denier and Bio Grande,” and is now built be
tween Denver and Colorado City, a distance of
seventy-six miles. It has a three-foot track,
the rails weighing only thirty pounds to the
yard, and the maximnm curvature ia six de
grees to tbe hundred feet the maximum grade
being seventy-five feet to tbe mile. The pas
senger engines weigh twelve tons, and cost only
$7,500, and the freight engines fifteen tons,
costing $8,500. Expense per mile of building,
os equipped, is $13,500 which, on account of
high transportation charges of material from the
East, is greater than the cost of a similar road
would be iu other parts of the country, where
the estimated cash east of such n line wonld be
from $8,000 to $10,000. The rood is believed to
be a triumphant experiment and tt is said that
ita extension to the city of Mexico, 1,800 miles
from Denver, is in contemplation- An excui-
i made over the road, immediately upon
ita completion, between Denver and Colorado,
and the riding is said to have been easy and
comfortable at fifteen to thirty miles an hour.
Tbe cars are necessarily smaller than those nsed
on ordinary track*, being thirty five feet long
and seven feet in outside width, having double
neats on one Bide and single seats on the oth.
er, and accommodating thirty four passengers.
Sleeping cars and all conveniences of travel can
be provided on snch roads is well as on the
wider gauges. The reported demonstration of
the practicability of a three-foot gauge over
broken oountry like that in Colorado isa matter
of importanoe to all the people of the United
States. a
The True Definition of “I'onserva
Uve.”
The New York Tribune expresses what
great many folks think, in the following para
graph :
Ever since we have had anything to do with
politics, we have been trying to find ont the
true definition of the word “Conservative;"
and having heard it used to designate half
dozen different parties, onr perplexity has nat
urally been nearly insufferable. Iu the new
edition of the works of Hookhsm Frere, he is
reported to have said: “Why do you talk of
conservatives? A conservative is only a tory
who is ashamed of himself.” Onr American
polities afford exeellent illustrations of this
sharp bnt perfectly just remark. We hare
never had a “*«v«serv»tive” party of any pub
lie weight and importatee; and when we have
had one at ail, H has nsoatiy been oomposed of
men who were tired of being Whigs, or
ashamed of being Democrats. “Conserva
tives" talk a great deal, write no leas, and gen
erally try to convey the impression that they
are sharper-eyed, clearer-beaded, and cleaner,
handed than their neighbors; bnt there is
nothing abont them remarkable exoept their
perfect willingness to be nominated for office,
and then to be beaten within an inch of their
lives.
A Trunk Horror at Quebec.—Quthee, Can
ada, December 26.—Quebec to-night is in a
perfect ferment. The exoitoment is ceased by
the discovery of another “trunk horror,” whioh
bids fair to ontdo tor brutality, etc., that which
startled New Y’ork a short time ago. On Satur
day last the station master and the offisers en
gaged at the Grand Trank railroad depot ex
perienced a horrible smell, which seemed to
proceed from s trunk left behind by a passen
ger who had crossed over to Levi's in the ferry
boat. The box was immediately opened by the
officers in the station, and soon the form of a
woman was revealed to their view, and the
smell was then fearful. The body was in
shockingly mutilated oondition. The arms and
legs had been cut off, the flash was hacked off
in all directions, for, it is presumed, conve
nience in packing, and the head was cut off
and wrapped in rags in one comer of tbe box.
The whole sight was horrible and sicken
ing. Theooronor and police authorities were
at once notified, and an inquest ia now going
on. Foni play is apparent, of course, and tbe
matter will be thoroughly and promptly sifted.
A Well Known Actor Joins the Church.—
Sol Smith Bussell was baptized in the Episoo-
E .1 Church at this place, by Bishop Green, last
ondsy. Wo understand he oontemplates
studying for the ministry. He is evidently a
man of considerable talent and wonld be an ae-
qusition. If he abandons the profession to
which be has been devoted, and gives up his
wage* of two hundred dollars a month, for the
hard fate of a minister, he wilt be carrying ont
