THE ADVERTISER. ADVERTISER PUBLISHING CO. Cedartowm, February 13th. WM. BRADFORD, - Editor. Tha Advartiser. Wo may be pardoned a brief reference to our journal. We began the publication of Tirn Advebtiseu as a five column monthly about four months ago. On January Otli, bust it absorbed the Record and began its ca reer as a weekly, with seven column pages. With this issue it absoibs the Express, its only remaining competitor, and is now the only paper published in the 38th Senatorial district. It is with two-fold gratification we refer to these evidences of the popularity of Tm; Adveu- tisek with the people. We are pleased that it has proven a suc cessful business enterprise; we are still more pleased that our efforts have won the approval of the people. It is our purpose to enlarge and greatly irupiove onr paper while the price will remain the same * one dollar per year. We trust every reader of this paper will constitute himself a can vasser for it and send us at least one new subscriber. A very little effort on their part will do this. It is our desire to have two thousand names on our subscription book before the end of the year. Will you not aid us ? Tl»e Southern War Claim?. The Southern 'war claims, loyal and otheiwise, are creating some stir in Congress, and the newspapers, without regard to section or party, are giving the question n most liberal discussion. The Democrats and Re publicans in Congress and the organs of each party seem to vie with each other in indiscriminate abuse of all these claims. We suppose that it is hope ol making political capital that brings about this strange unanimity among leaders so bitterly hostile to each other. The present attitude of the Radical leaders and newspapers, in regard to these claims, is convincing evidence that they are sadly in need of mate rial from which to manufacture polit ical capital. The whole scheme was originated by their party; the court of claims was created by a Republi can Congress, iudorsed by a liepub- licafl President and millions cf dol lars expended to pay these claims at a time wheu the Republicans had en tire control of every department of the Federal’goverument. It was the avowed policy of their party, a policy • f which its leaders loudly boasted and by which they hoped tobuild up and sustain their party in the South ern States. After pursuing this line for several years, in fact during the whole time of the complete ascen dency of their party, they suddenly woke up to the fact that thepayment of these claims is down right robbe ry, and with an impudence unrival led even in the dark history of their party, charge that Southern Demo crats are seeking to commit this rob bery ou the natioual treasury. It appears impossible for an electioneer ing scheme, so transparent as this, t<> be the least degree successful. We know the Northern hearers are blind ed with prejudice and totally igno rant of all thiugs connected with the people and politics of the South. But it occurs to us that common seuse would teach them that a South ern Democrat, whose soul was in the Confederate cause, could have no sympathy for a man who deliberate ly swears that he was at all times an euemy to that esase. It is too absurd f >r the belief ol any sane man, that Southern Democrats would tax them selves to pay the losses of a class of men who rejoiced, and in s >me in- g.auces aided, in the defeat and hu- mihation of the States and people whom they represent. ll seems that an effort is to he made to galvanize the corpse of the late Republican parly in this State. In its last issue the Atlanta Rejmbli- C in says : /it a conference of Republicans here last week it was thought best to call a State Convention for purposes of organization at an early day. Wc cannot strongly enough U’ge upon Repub icaus all over the State the importance of this movement. It should receive the hearty aud instant co Operation of Georgia’s hundred thousand Republic.! no. We reproduce the following ex tract from the Atlanta Constitution in order to give our readers some idea of the hardships and privations endured by their fellow-citizens who sacrifice themselves upon the altar of patriotism by consenting to serve us as congressmen. We can never sufficiently admire the sublime, self- sacrificing devotion of these abstem ious patriots to the interests of the dear people. But read for your- scl ves: The contingent fund of congress is frit tered away in all sorts of hopeless direc tions. The members buy poeket-knives, eaM-oases, shoe-brushes, razors, 2 cor k- screws, fans and a grc.al variety ot other indispensable untenails for which the peo ple iiave to pay.^Senator^.Morton’s funeral cost $957. of which amount $519 was for wiue and whiskey, a touching evidence that the congressional ^mourners mourned and refused to be comforted until they ha 1 nn opportunity to conceal their emotions behind a demijohn. Under the head of “stationery,” our able law-makers gar he r- e 1 in ninety-three dozen pocket-knives, thirty dozen corkscrews, and seven hun dred pocket-books. One member; got a copy of Homer's Iliad; anoth r, pursuing his literary studies in a different direction, is charged with a pack of cards. Natty Ranks, of Massachusetts,'got two < religious works, and a North Carolina member availed himself of the opportunity to se cure a hymn-book and a family .Bible. All cf which »e ids us tc remark that the “contingent fund.” as it is now expended, is a t rifle too contingent to suit our notions of economy. We have anxiously observed all the events connected with the late crisis in France and note with grat ification the happy turn they have taken. In our youth we loved the land of LaFayette and Napoleon with the ardor almost of a native, and the interest we have in her pros perity and progress is not yet entire ly lost. It was with pleasure that we witnessed the quiet resignation of Marshal McMahon and the quiet election and installation of his suc cess ?r, M. Grev v, as president of the Republic. It was a bloodless tri umph of the will of the people, the first in the history of that unfortu nate country and the French Re- puplic emerges successfully from all her dangers and trials and misfor tunes, demonstrating we think, that the French people are capable of self-government. This we are con fident will cut of all the hopes of the Bonaparte and Bourbon families and give perfect peace and quiet to the country. About the poorest way a South ern man can Sjffnd his money is to subscribe for the New York Sun. it has been for some time exhausting all its ingenuity in originating and publishing lies on the South and Southern members of Congress. Ils latest effort in that line is an attempt to besmirch General Gordon because a man who is distantly related to him had gotten a positi >n in some of the departments at Washington. We became attached to the Sun a few years ago for the terrible warfare it waged against Grantisin and the elec toral frauds, but of late it manilests such a lofty disregard for the truth when treating of Southern men and matters that it is not a fit journal to enter the family circle of a Southern home. Ge.v. Yv. T. Shep.ji.vk, a? oar readers know, has lately passed through Georgia and the South, and here is what he says about the man ner of treatment emmigrants to this section would receive fromour people. This extract is from a letter the Gen eral wrote Capt. Evan 1’. llowell of the Atlanta Constitution: I am satisfied, from iny recent visit, that Northern professional moaynannfacturers, mechanics, find farmers may come to At lanta, Home and Chattanooga with a cer tainty of fair dealing and fair encourage ment, hough I was personally regarded the bete-noir of the late war in your region, the uuthor^of all your woes, yet 1 admit that t have just passed over the very ground d isolated by the civil war, an ! have renew ed everywhere uothiug but kind aud cour - teous treatment from the highest to the lowest, and t heard of no violence toothers for opinions’ sake.

The “Solid South.” Th.- “Solid South’’ is -a reaction against proscription, attended by misrovei nment, and a protest against the ever'recurring menace of Federal interference. There are many wa s of p tnishiug a people, just as there are many kinds of arbitrary power. The old methods have, tor the most part, grown obsolete.* [It was left fur Hie leaders of the Republican party, having confiscated more property and impoverished more non-combatants than were ever before submitted to the hazards of war, to invent a new- process iu the art of inflicting popu lar pains and penalties; that of free ing the slave and enslaving the free on the side of the vanquished. Nor was this all; for, adding insult to in jury, it was done on the assumption lhu"t the class enslaved, unfit to gov ern or to be trusted, was at once treach.rou3 and cruel; it was done, and its succeeding enormities have been justified, in the name of philan thropy, patriotism and liberty, anti in terms at once complacent and un feeling.—North American Review. It is related by the Globe-Demo crat of St. Louis, that the Sbaure Emeth Jewish Congregation invited the Second Baptist Church to hold services in their Synagogue. The invitation was accepted and exercises were held afterneon and evening, and for the-first time in the history of the world, it is stated, tho Lord’s Supper was celebrated in a Syna gogue. Mr. Boyd, pastor of the Second Church, occupied the pulpit, and both Jews and Christians at tended the services. This conduct on the part of a Jewish congregation evinces a com mendable spirit of liberality and charity and is a lesson, from thes* bigoted people, from which even pro- testant Christians might learn some thing. “It is an ill wind that blows nobody any good,’’ and the little breeze creat ed by Mr. Hill’s recent deliverance seems no exception. The Atlanta Repulican draws consolation aud hope from it thus : Ben Hill may yet prove himself the col ored mail’s Moses. As surely as he strikes the blow ho meditates at his party in the State, it will divide, and divide hopelssiy, and between the two factions the long op pressed colored republican may march to victory, and from the promised land 1 ;ok back on the overthrow aud destruction of his enemies. The Congressional Committee ap pointed to investigate the Cipher Dispatches has had Mr. Tildeu be fore Hand the prevailing impression seems to be that Uncle Sammy came out on top, as he usually does. He Buys ‘•To the people who I believed elected me President of United States, to four millions of citizens who were defrauded, 1 owed it as a duty to proclaim I would no: yield oue jot or tittle of my right. IV hat- over evils may result from this subversiou of the electoral system aud of free govern ment. I resolved I would enter into no auc tion for the purchase of the Chief Magis tracy.’’ ‘ Great ceremonies are necessary,” says the Railway News, “to get a train oft’in Germany. When all is ready a bell rings. Then another bell rings, engine whistles, or rather tnot-toot- toots gently. Then the station-mas ter looks placidly around and says, ‘So?’ Then the conductor shouts •Fertig?’ interrogatively. Then the station-master replies ‘Fertig!’ posi tively. Then the conductor blows a horn, the engiue whistles, the bell rings, the othe.r bell rings, the sta tion-master says, ‘So?’ the passengers swear in various tongues and the train starts. That is, unless there is a belated fat man; in which cast they do it all over again.” Sell-Conceit. The judgment of the wise on lo quacious persons may be expressed | in the proverb, “A fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.” Pryden characterized this class as those “Who flunk too little, and who taik too much.” A~ ;i nilf, volubility of speech does not go hand-in-hand with affluence i of thought; and yet, Rufus Choate ] was as affluent in thought as he was | voluble in speech. I ‘ Don’t let Brother Ohoateget hold of a copy,” said Chief-Justice Shaw, when some one told him that Wor- j cester was about publishing a new : dictionary. But the Chief Justice j always listened with pleasure to j Choate’s legal arguments. Still it is generally true, us Matthew Prior says,— “They never Uste who always drink; The always talk who never think.” Judge Lucas, of St. Louis, once impressed this idt-a upon a pompous young lawyer iu a way more forcible than elegant. The youngman, noted for self-con ceit rather than lor legal learning, made a spread-eagle speech to a jury. The next day he met Judge Lucas, who had presided at the trial, aud thus addressed him: “Good morning, judge. What did you think of my little effort yester day ?” “Ah, you are the young gentleman who addressed a jury in my court! Yes,—yes. Well, sir, your speech reminded me of a little yellow dog I have at home. When he wants to lie down he makes a circle, and round and round he goes half-a-dozen times or more, and then lies down at the very place he started from."
