Our army officers have contracted

The following quaiut epitaph on a

And laid iu box of elm below,
Confined to earth iu narrow borders,
He rises not ’till further orders.
All that is new is not true, neither
is all that is true, new. If we had a
return of some of the republ iean and
democratic simplicity of the days of
Franklin and Jefferson, we would be
on a much safer road to the realiza

methods which the so-called states

The Arkansas river, last week, at
tained a height only surpassed by
the flood of 1844. The fact that the
forty-tour rise still holds the edge has
been a source of great self-congratu

treated the recent flood with con
tempt, and some of them became so
proud that for several days they
wouldn’t speak to a common man.
The size of the Chicago girls’ feet

stating that a maiden of the lake and

moth cave on one foot if it were not
| likely to engender the growth of
’ corns, is quite enough to satiety, for

MM BROWN.
He Talks About His !><>:, Pup—
The Little Local Editor.—
Bill Arp’s Letter.-John
Brown, etc., etc.
Well. Mr. Editor, I am not educa
ted very highly, nor have I ever
written anything for the newspapers
but I read a good many papers, and
keep up with the news of the day
pretty well considering the fact that
lam a plain, old countryman and
farmer. But sometimes I do want
to write for the papers mighty bad,
and, if you will print them, I will
try to write you some letters for your
oaper.
Your little local editor put in your
paper List week that my light colored
dog with white blue eyes could be
bought cheap for cash. Now he is
mistaken about this—mouey cau’t
buy Pup, that is, so long as there is
no tax on dogs. Pup is most always
by the fire when it’s cold weather;
he would run rabDits before he got
shot; and he is a number one dog to
rnu pigs out of the garden an J po
tato patch. He won’t catch a pig,he
just runs along and bites him a iittie,
snaps and growls. This scares the
pig and makes him flee the garden
and potato patch. Bully for Pup.
His mother is still alive, though she
is quite infirm. Her name is Fide,
and she is nearly nineteen years old.
Shestiil manages to get about pretty
lively,snap pigs, and catch a ball
that is ihrown to her. May she
live long and prosper. One of my
neighbors has a large old bull dog
named JacK. Old Jack does very
well to sleep on the corn pile and
frighten off the niggers, but when it
comes to running pie’s out of the
field or catching rabbits, he aint a
bit account. Why, he will cat c tut he
pig, and before you can get a fence
rail to beat him off, he will pull the
the pig’s ear completely off. If there
is anything in the world that! do
despise, it is a big white bulldog that
will pull a pig’s ear off, and then
won’t catch a rabbit.
The same little local editor, in the
same issue of your paper, also stated
that my friend Biles plows a
two hundred and seventy-five dollar
horse. 1 This aint any more true than
what he said about Pup. This horse
aint worth twenty-five cents on the
dollar. He fell iu an old well last
year and it took all the hands on
Arthur Davis’ plantation a whole
day to tunnel him out. Since that
time this old horse won’t go in two
hundred yards of a well. When you
try to drive him by a well he raises
bis tail, snorts very loud and runs
backwards as fast as lie can. I don’t
want that horse, I don’t think I need
him.
I read Bill Arp’s letters in the
Constitution, every one of them. I
like Arp. He is a mighty sensible
man and writes well, but sometimes
he over does the thing. The reason
of this is, I suppose, because he has
written all he knows, and has now
fallen back on what he don’t know
His letter about the cyclone is ail bosh.
Bill knew 7 well enough that w’hat he
wrote about that nigger’s getting in
to the mudhole was not strictly true.
Why, there is no mudhole in Bartow
county deep enough to come up to
a nigger’s eyes, and if the nigger had
been blown into a mudhole up to his
eyes, he never could have got out
without help* Why, a ten year old
school boy would know better than
to believe that story. It is absurd,
Billy, and you had better correct it
or people will get so they wont be
lieve anything you say. I don’t
hardly know whether to believe
what he says about Mrs. Arp’s being
afraid of ghosts or not. For I heard
a mighty truthful man who knows
her well, say that she had just about
ten times as much courage as Bill,
and that he did not believe she was
afraid of ghosts. But I guess Bill
knows Mrs. Arp better than that
man did who told me about her
courage.
But that was a pretty bad storm,
and I guess Arp hadn’t got over his
scare when he wrote that letter. We
all ought to excuse him this time, if
he will promise faithfully not to tell
any more tales just as absurd, Jim
Gilreath says that it was the worst
thing he ever saw. That may be so.
But by the time he is as old as I am
he will see worse things than that.
Why, in ’4G I saw the track of a hur
ricane in Alabama that was a long
ways ahead of this cyclone we had
the other day. It was fourteen miles
wide in the narrowest places, and it
did not leave a stick as big as a man’s
thumb. This is true, too. I never
saw such a thing in my life.
My friend and neighbor, JohD
Brown, (he is not a relative of mine,
only an intimate and dear friend),
has the best fish trap in the state.
He is going to catch all of Gen.
Young’s shad this spring. John ap
plied for letters of administration on
the estate ot Perry Milam, a dead
nigger, not long ago. Johu did this
in order to get a little money that
Perry owed him. Well, before he
got to the administratorship the es
tate, an old blind horse, was wound
np—the horse had died. This old
horse was so poor that the buzzards
turned away from his carcass with
disgust. And I hear that his re
mains now lie in a little pine flat
near Henry Tumliu’s, aud that they
are still in a state of preservation. It
takes a skeleton h good long time to
dt cay in real cold weather. Yours
in good faith,
Sam Brown.
THE FINAL OF THE KFKLrX CASES.
The text of the derision.
The SapreiHC fcoreruineiit Must Hare Power
to Assert Its Supremacy.
Washington, March .10—A decision
was rendered by the court to-day, in
what is known as the kuklux cases,
which stand on the original docket
under the title exparte, in the matter
of Jasper Yarbrough and others.
They are petitions for writs of habeas
corpus to release a number of persons
now imprisoned under the judgment
of the United States circuit com t for
the Northern district of Georgia, ren
dered after trial and conviction of the
persons for the offence o c threatening
and otherwise intimidating colored
voters at an election iu Georgia for
member of congress. The principal
question presented by the cases relat
es to the constitutionality of the law
under which they are he'd. Justice
Miller, speaking for the court, after
deciding that the offences set forth in
the indictment are fully covered by sec
tions 5308 aud 5520 of the revised
statutes, says that the government,
who3e. essential character is republi
can, whose executive head and legis
lalure body are both elective, whose
most numerous and powerful branch*
of tho legislature is elected by the
people directly, has no power, by ap
propriate law, to secure this election
from the influence of violence, of cor
ruption, and of fraud, is a position so
startling as to arrest the attention and
demand the gravest consideration. If
this government is anything more than
a mere aggregation of delegates of
other states and governments, each of
which is superior to the general gov
ernment, it must have power to pro
tect the elections on which its exist
ence depends, from violence and cor
ruption. If it has not this power, it
's left helpless before the tw r o great
natural aud historical enemies of re
publics—open violence and insidious
con uption. Addressing himself to
the argument made in this case, that
because there was no express power
delegated to congress to provide for
preventing violence exercised on the
voter as a means of controlling his
vote, no such law can be enacted, he
-sajs it destroys at one blow, in con
struing the constitution of the Unit
ed States, th<* doctrine uuiversily ap
plied to all instruments of writing,
that what is implied is as much a part
of the instrument as what is expressed.
This principle, in its application to
the constitution of the United States,
more than to almost any other writ
ing, is a necessity by reason of the in
herent inability to put into words all
the derivative powers; the difficulty
which the instrument itself recogniz
es, by conferring on congress the au
thority to pass all laws to punish theft
or robbery of the treasury of the
United Statss and depredations on
the mails, although congress has been
gived no express authority to pass
such law*. As to the argument that
the states can pass the necessary
laws on the subject, and that no nec
essity exists for such action by con
gress, he points out that the exist
ence of the state laws punishing the
counterfeiting ot the coin of the Unit
ed States has never been held to su
percede the acts ot congress passed
for that purpose, or to justify the
United States in fai.ing to enforce its
own law* to protect the circulation of
the coin which it uses. lie directs
attention also to the attempts of con
gress to protect the officers of the
government iu the exercise of their
duties in hostile communities, iu nul
lification trouble in South Carolina,
and in the late rebellion during the
troubles growing out ot the enforce
ment of the draft. He asks if it be
not doubted that congress has power
to provide laws for the proper con
duct of elections for representatives
in congress, aie such powers annulled
because an election for state officers
is held at the same time and place, and
replies; These questions answer them
selves.
Don’t go near a draft. If a draft
comes toward® jou, iu. aw y. A
■ sight draft is the most dangerous.
