The Forty-Fourth. Who are to be the New Leaders in the House. [Washington Correspondence of the Cin cinnati Enquirer.] ■Washington, December 10. The republicans iu the bouse Lave already begun to devolop topics ■which, unless the democrats wake up and keep their eyes wide open, will confer most of the glory of the session upon the minority. It must be un derstood at the beginning that Blaine is recognized by the republicans as an absolute leader; that they will sus tain him and follow him like a regi ment of trained soldiers wherever he leads, and obey him like lieutenants whenever he chooses to direct opera tions without coming to the front himself. Mr. Blaine’s principal lieu tenants are Foster and Garfield of Ohio, Starkweather of Connecticut, ■and Hale of Maine. Iu addition to these Burchurd, of Illinois, McCrary, of lowa, Hasson of the same Sl ate, Hoar of Massachusetts, and Waldron, of Michigan, who are among the most astute parliamentarians and most ex perienced legislators the country af dVu'ds. These men arc animated hy a 'common picpuse, which is clearly do lined in the minds of all, and they are not divided or distracted by any bick erings or personal envies. The rank and lilo members are bociLl' AND SUBSERVIENT. Ami altogether the republican minor ity in the present house of represuta tives is the most effective body for political purposes that has sat in the capitol building for many a day. The programme of Blaine is to get the start of the democrats in inaugurat ■iug all investigations which will pan out, and to let the latter inaugurate all those which are likely to fail of ac complishing any serious exposures. Mr. lilaine and his associates are in n position to know beforehand just about wbat can bo done and what -can’t be in t.ho investigation lino, and this gives them an advantage over the democrats—who lack official sources of information in this direction— •which will uot.bo long becoming pain fully apparent. The republican side of the house in addition to these advantages that I have already alluded to, embodies much the LARGEST AVERAGE of legislative experience. For exam ple, the aggregate number of terms served by the 100 republicans is 337, or a trifle over 3 1-2 terms on an av erage. But the total number of terms ■ served by’ the democrats is only 330, *or a trifle over two terms on an aver age. Comparatively speaking, there are but few new members on the re publican side—not more than thirteen. But on the democratic side is array ed a vast phalanx of raw recruits, Avho, though mostly men of intelli gence, are so utterly unskilled in con gressional tactics as to require at ‘least one term of breaking in before ' they will bo able to make such head way. These number over sixty. They are for the most part unfledged states men, who have come here chuck full of patriotism and loaded to the muz zle with schemes for the immediate .relief of their suffering country, which i may be generally classed under the ! of hobbles. Anew member of congress with a hobby is at once J harmless to liis enemies and annoy ing to his friends. None of the new republican members have any hob bles. They are all content to jog along in the party omnibus with Blaine as driver, and ask no ques tions. If the democrats had some man whose lead they would ho content to follow, and whose political sagacity Avas unquestionable, there would be no trouble. But unless KAAI RANDALL can muster up the faculty of general ship again which ho displayed last session, there is little hope of an ade quate leadership for the democrats. Fernando Wood is a nice old man, with a beautifuf mustache and rare dignity, but (his aged and imbecile Goorgo 111, leading Fhon.sonby's dra goons, or commanding Hill’rtjdivhftoji at Waterloo, would not have cut a sorrier figure than Fernando Wood cut the other day trying to lend the democrats in that squabble over Mo rey’s credentials. Cox is not tho man; for bo is as much too sudden as Wood in too slow. Cox made a good lender when tho democrats were in the minority and when their tactics were limited to tho skirmish line. But now, when heavy work is to be done, and when i Blaine is on the floor watching, like a hawk watches for a chicken, every misstep of the democratic majority, Cox is not tho man to pit against him. If Jim Bock were in tho present house the baton would be handed to him by acclamation. But, as lie is no more, the best must be done with what remains. Holman would be an effective lead er but for the fact that his chronic habit of objecting to overbody's little steal for the last dozen sessions, has raised up for him a whole generation of personal enemies, who would not submit to bis leadership though it were accompanied with a guarantee of the promised land. Wells, of Missouri, is qualified for leadership in everything but disposi tion and faculty—two important lacks which would undoubtedly militate against his usefnlnesss in that posi tion. Mr. Wells is one of the best workers on the floor and in tho com mittee rooms that tire house affords. But his eloquenco is on a par with that of Wood's while his diffidence is equal to that of the typical school boy. Person allay lie is tho most pop ular and influential man on the dem ocratic side, and, could he combine with his present qualifications tho parliamentary skill of Randall and the debating powers of Cox or La mar, he would bo chief among ten thousand and altogether lovely. Lamar has some of the qualities of j leadership—eloquence, personal pop ; ularity and dignity—but ho lacks force, firmness and parliamentary i tact; otherwise known as tho faculty : of making a spade appear to be a hoe .or black white, when occasion dc ; mauds. N(' w s >u no !• Pat ronose. I One man comes in, subscribes for ! tho paper, pays for it in advance, and j goes home uml reads it with a proud | .satisfaction that it his. Ho hands in Ids advertisements, and reaps’the ad vantages thereof. This is patronage. Another man asks you to send him | tho paper, aud goes off without say img a word about the pay. Time flies ' on; you aro in need of money, and ask him to pay the sum he .owes you. Ho flies into a passion, perhaps pays, per haps not, and orders his paper stop ded. This is called patronage. One man brings iu a fifty cent ad vertisement and wants a two dollar puff thrown in, and when you decline lie goes off mad. Even this is called j patronage. 0 ;e man don’t take your paper. It is so high priced; but he borrows and j reads its regularly. And that could i be called newspaper patronage. One man likes your paper he takes ; a copy, pays for it; and gets his friends to do tho same; lie is not al ways grumbling to yon or others, but has a friendly word. If an accident occurs in his section he informs tho editor. This is newspaper patron age. One bauds you a marriage or oth er notice, and asks for extra copies containing ii; and when yon ask him to pay for the papers, he looks sur prised: “You surely don’t ask pay for such small matters;?” This is called newspaper patronage. One (it is good to see such) comes in and says: “The year for which I paid you is about to expire, and I want to pay for another.” He does so and retires. This is newspaper patronage. It will bo seen from the above tlmt, while certain kinds of patronage are j the very life of the newspaper, there ' are other kinds more fatal to its health and circulation than the coils of a boaconstrictor are to the luckless prey he patronizes. —**>- • Kerosene as a Liniment. —A cor respondent sends the following: It is not as generally known as it ought to be that kerosene oil is one of the very best remedies for strains, sprains or bruises that can bo applied to the flesh of beasts. I know an instance iu which a young Colt got cast on its back iu a manger; when taken out it was utterly uuable to stand or move its bind limbs, and so continued for some time, when two or three appli cations of the oil, twelve hours be tween, completely restored it. This and similar facts led me, when study ing drugs several years ago, to con coct the following, which I named kerosene liniment: “Kerosene oil, one ounce; aromat spirits ammonia, three drams; tiuc. stramonii, two drams; tine, opii, two drams; tine, arnica, two drains; 01. origanum, two drams; 01. menthe, twenty drops; chloroform, ono dram; spirits camphor, two drams.” This article is incomparably superior to anything of its kind for bruises, sore ness of tho muscles from any cause, or nervous pains. Its value, however, will best be known by its use. Many a prescription has been sold for fifty dollars, which, compared with this, was not worth the paper it was writ ten ou. Equally good for beasts or men. QUITMAN, GA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2:5, 1875- Maxims for Young Man. Never ho idle. If your hands can not be usefully employed attend to the cultivation of your mind. Always speak tho truth. Keep good company or nono. Make few promises. I five up to your engagements. Keep your own secrets if you have any. When you spoak to a person look him in the face. Good company and good conversa tion aro tho very sinews of virtue. Good character is above all things else. Never listen to looso or idlo conver sation. Your character cannot be essen tially injured except by your own acts. If any one speaks evil of you let your life bo so virtuous that nono will ever believe him. Drink no intoxicating liquors. Ever live, misfortunes excepted, within your income. When you retire to bed think over what you have done during the day. Never speak lightly of religion. Make no haste to be rich if you would prosper. Small and steady gains give com petency with tranquility of mind. Never play at any kind of game. Avoid temptation through fear that you may not withstand it. Earn your money before you spend it. Never run in debt unless you seo a way to get out again. Never borrow if you can possibly avoid it. Be just before you aro generous. Keep yourself innocent if you would be happy. Save when you are young to spend when you aro old. Never think that which you do for religion is time or money misspent. Read some # portions of the Bible every day. —Counsels for Life. Haven's Crusade. AN IMPENDING ROW IN TIIE NOKTIIEKN METHODIST CHUIICU. [Washington Special (Dec. 13) to the Cin cinnati Enquirer.] The religious war inaugurated by Grant, and abetted hy Bishops Haven and Simpson, has already begun to react on its author. To-dav the Washington Association of Methodist preneliora held a mooting, fourteen out of nineteen members being pres ent, and unanimously'condemned tho policy of introducing politics into the pulpit ou tho part of their Bishops, and the scheme of turning religions enthusiasm into political uses on the part of Grant. Brother Newman was among the tiro absentees. This ac tion, taken in connection with the fierce attack on Grant aud Bishop Haven made yesterday by Rev. Dr. Cleveland, from the pulpit of the Foundry Methodist Church, creates a profound sensation in religious circles here. Wei! informed people predict a serious row in the Methodist Church over the third term business. School-Boy Amusements in Illinois. The Springfield (111.) Journal of Sat turday says: “They have queer ideas of children’s behavior out iu some of the country school districts. One of the directors of a suburban district was in town a few days ago inquiring for a teacher. Ho said ono of the directors bad discharged the teacher they had employed on account of giving one of the boys a good, square trouncing. It seems the boy and tho teacher bad indulged in a trifling al tercation, and tho boy had caressed the teacher’s cranium with an eighteen by twenty-four slate, and then bung the empty frame around his neck. Of course the teacher felt hurt about it, and he walloped tho boy, more in sorrow than in anger, wo presume, and for this cruelty to animal ho was immediately and effectually bounced. That’s right. Shoot tho school teach ers, any way. What right have they to object, even if the sou of an influ ential director, backed up by borne support, turns the school into a bed lam and makes discipline as impossible ns though tho pupils wore all candi dates for the reform school.” Won’t Get Anything in Their Stockings. —There are two residents of Detroit who won’t got any Santa Claus gifts in their stockings. They live ou Adams avenue, husband and wife. She had the front steps wash ed the other night while ho was down town, and when ho returned home and rushed for the door in his usual vig orous stylo he rushed on his head. As ho was falling around the wife opened the door and inquired : “What made you fall down, Peter?” He pitched against the door in his efforts to stand up and answered: “Don’t you know anything, you numb-head you!” “What is it—-ice?” she asked. “You don’t suppose i’d fall down on sand, do you?” he shouted. “1 was going to put something in your stockings, but now I won’t!” “Well, keep your brass jewelry, then,” she spunkily replied. “And you keep your old calico dressing gowns 1” It is sad to see folks living this way. —Detroit Free Press. Nashville, December 14.—Commo dore Vanderbilt lias made an addi tional donation of one hundred thou sand dollars to the Vanderbilt Uni versity, making seven hundred thou sand dollars. The Secret of Success in Life. No man now standing on an emi nouco of influence and powor, and do ing great work has arrived at his po sition by going up an elevator. He took tho stairway step by step. Ho climbed tho rooks with blooding bands. He prepared himself by the work of climbing for tho work ho is doing. He never accomplished an inch of his elevation bv standing at tho foot of the stairway with his month open, and longing. There is no “royal road” to any thing good—not even to wealth. Money that has not been paid for hi life is not wealth. It goes as it comes. There is no element of permanence in it. The. man who reaches liis money in au elevator does not know how to enjoy it; so it is not wealth to him. To get a high position without climb ing to it, to win wealth without earn ing it, to do fine work without the discipline necessary to its perform ance, to be famous, or useful, or orna mental, without preliminary cost, seems to ho the universal desire of the young. The children would begin where their fathers leave off. What exactly is the secret of true success in life ? It is to do, without flinching, and with utter faithfulness, the duty that stands next to one. When a man has mastered the duties around him, lie is ready for those of a higher grade, and ho takes naturally one stop upward. When helms mas tered the duties of the new grade, lie goes on climbing. There are no sur prise to the man who arrives at emi nence legitimately. It is entirely nat ural that lie should be there, and be is as much at home there, and as lit tle elated, as when ho is working pa tiently at the foot of the stairs. There are heights above him, and remains humble and simple. Parchments are of little avail, per haps; but when one comes into con tact with so many men and women, who put aspiration instead of perspi ration, and yearning for earning, and longing for labor, he is tempted to say, to them: “Stop looking up, and look around you! Do the work that first comes to your hand, and do it well. Take no upward step till you come to it naturally, and have won the power to hold it. The top in this little world is not so very high, and patient climbing will bring you to it ere you are aware.” Washington and Grant. It has been reserved for ilie Phila delphia Press in a double-leaded ed itorial upon tho “Message,” to inform the country that “President’s penulti mate annual message recalls forcibly the farewell address of General Wash ington.” The centennial gentlemen of the Press, perhaps, have the ad vantage of other commentators, for very few newspaper writers of the present had the pleasure of hearing General Washington’s farewell, and consequently cannot recall its charac ter. But if lie was correctly report ed, and that report has come down to us nngarblcd, the I’rnss would do the public a favor iu particularizing a little. Gen. Washington, as history now embalms bis words, did not put. the whole country in a ferment with warlike rumors and preparations, and then back out without any explana tion of the commotion. He did not go outside of ht’s executive functions and Presidential dignity to rank up an issue that had no basis but the hope of political capital to stand upon. But even when no precedent stood in his way, and when the tendency oi public sentiment was for and not again.-jt a third term, he refused to hold his high office longer for reasons of propriety, and he eonfied his words of warning to immediate and actual dangers, and not to those which were remote and fanciful. Still the press goes even beyond Washington, for no ono man can embody the qualities that will pgrallel a Grant. The “Fath er of his Country” is reinforced by Gladstone, Bismark and Pere Hya ciutko. but superior to them all aises the great third-termists, before whose grandeur tho combined tho glories of tho mighty captains and powerful statesmen of the century pale their ef fectual fires. —Button Pott.

Hero are these now gloves of inino, full of little rips, string off ono of dickeys, that nico silk handkerebif iu tho draw, waistband off my pants; what is to be done? How provoking it is to see those married people looking so self satisfied and consequential at the head of their families as if they had done the State great service. Why as to children, they are as plenty as lillios iu August, and about as trou blesome; every alley, and court, and garret are swarming with them; they are no rarity, and any miserable wretch can get a wife, and enough of them too, such as they are. It is enough to scare a man to death to think how much it costs to keep one. Young folks have to begin now where their fathers and mothers left off. Silks aud satins, ribbons and velvets, feather and flowers, cuff pins and bracelets, giineraeks and folderols, and there is no ho.p for it in my ease, for if I married a woman 1 loved, and the dear little thing should ask for my scalp 1 should give it to her, I know I should. Then there is the! tapestry carpets, and mirrors, and so-1 fas, ottomans, and damask curtains, j and crocko nj, and (you must look at tho subject iu all its bearings) little jackets, and frocks, wooden horses, <lolls and pop guns, and gingerbread; don’t believe 1 can do it, by Jupiter ! But then here I sit, with the toe of my best boot kicking tho grate for some tiling to do; its awful cold and dreary weather, long evenings, can’t go to concerts all the time, anil when I do go my room looks so much the gloom ier when I come back; and it would be so cosy to bare a nice little wife to chat and laugh with. I have tried to think of something else, but I can not; if Hook in the lire lam sure to sec a pair of bright eyes and even the shadows on the wall take fairy shapes. I am on the brink of ruin—l feel it;— I shall read my doom in tho mar riage list before long —l k now I shall. “Index” in the McDuffie Journal vigorously attacks “that monstrous outrage on property rights commonly known as tho homestead provision.” Can not, lie says the legislature pal liate its evils? And then lie adds: True, while our constitution exists as at present, or until a decision had by the United States Supreme Court, the legislature cannot neglect to pro vide for setting apart and valuation as directed, but in the exercise of the mandatory power conferred it can constitutional render this curse of no effect. Under the constitution it may and should pass a law requriug the ordinaries or superior court judges, sitting as chancellors, to appoint trustees, not tho husband, under bonds in double tlie amount of the property exempted, to take charge of such trust property as other trustees. It should further enact that all home steads or personalty hcrctofre set apart and valued should ho vacated unless within two months trustees under bond should be appointed, and that the statute of limitation, as to creditors, should cease to run from the beginning of homestead proceed ings till the determination of the t rust estate. It should also protect inno cent bona lido purchasers for value, after a certain time in possession, giv ing the beneficiaries a civil action, by themselves or next friends, against the seller, with a criminal proceeding for fraudulent conversion.

Thole was a time in the history of this affair when a few second-rate names were always inserted in its proceeings, with a view of giving them a color of authenticity, but oven teose have dropped out, and tho minutes show only shadowy resolutions and indefi nitely worded motions. The whole attempt is a political sham- a thin at tempt to trade on our honored name— which should be discountenanced and crushed out by respectable jour nalism.
