The sensation of the day ie Mr. Scovills’ arraignment of Grant, Ar tjiui and and Oonkling as construc tively guilty'of the degth of Qar lieid. and more responsible for that tragedy in a moral aud intellectual sense, than the crazy man, who was inspired by their enmity to the- President to carry what was sup posed to be their thoughts to a bloody reprisal. Opiniens differ as to this audacious foray of the pris oners counsel. Some people con tend that Mr. Seoville has shooked ail propriety. Others maintaim that he has blurted out a great truth’ and if Guiteau is to be hang ed, the Stalwart leaders shall be on record as the residuary legatee* of his crime. It is a Republican squabble all around; st democrats can stand aside and l*t the funeral procession pass.—l 8. R, Randall in Augusta Chronical.

Tbs terms, $1.50 a year, with special rates for clubs, are remarkably low.

If he has not been a presiding elder camp meetings have lost their flow er. His lips are thick and inex pressive, and a metalic shine is in his eye. This Moses never condem ned the golden calf without getting a haunch of it. He has to raise his notfe narly to the horizontal to see anything under those spectacles. His side locks of brown and gray came down to the line of his spec tacles.

Thers have bsen elaborate effort* made by so-c&lled statesmen to cover up the real cause of the war but there is not a man of common sense in the south to day who is net aware of the fact that there would have been no war if there had been no slavery; and if Mr Davis or anybody else dreams that slavery is to be, or can be re vived, he is indeed, demented.

Constion- MONEY AND IGNORANCE. T be consolation of weslth with wit hout learning is quite sufficient for a good many grander proprie tors than the one who figures in this descriptive .item. Riches are made to cover up a multitude of deficien cies—and a good many sins, A Chicaugo paper says that a colored man, living tn that city,. hung out a sign on his houee reading : “For sail.” He Lappeiined to be at the gate when a white man came along and said: “Youll never get an offer for your house with anr such spelling as that,” The owner of the place was great ly puzzled to improve the orthogra phy, but finally toek his wifes ad vice and made it read, ‘for sell.’ This seemed to be all right for a day er too, and then a schoolboy baited and said: “If you don’t fix that sign, all the school children will be laughing at you.” There was another convention ef fch44%mily to see where the mistake came in, and the sign was made to read “Ifur Ball.” It hadnt' been up an houi when an old colored man came along £ud queried : ’ “Does you mein dat dis place vra fur Sally? what you gwine to gib do place to Sally fur?” “Amyou findin’ fault wid dat sign?” asked the other. “well I dont quite cotch on to de spellin.” “You doan,’ eh? Has you gots7oo to pay cash for dis place? “No, sah.” * “den you pass on an’ ehet up.

A good many y**ra ago, when Austin was a very small town. Quite a nurnbea of prominent cit izens went out on a hunting expe dition. OiH> n%ht when they wore all gathered around a camp fire, one of the party suggested that each man should give his time and rea son for leaving his native State and coming to Texas, whereupon each one in turn told his experience. Judge blank had killed a man in self defence, and Arkansaw Gener al, Soandso, had forged another man’s signature to a check, while another came to Tts on account of having two wives. Theenly man who did not make any disclosures was a sanetimoniou* looking old man, who althogh a professional gambler, was usually called Parson well Parson why did you leave Kentucky?* ‘I don’t care to say anything a bout it. Besides, it was only a tri fie. None of you would believe me. anyhow.’ “Out with it! Did you shoot some body? ‘No, gentlemen. I did not. Since you want to know so bad, I’ll tell you, I left kentuckv because I did not build a church.* Deep silence fell on the group. No such excuse fer coming to Tex as had been heard of before. There was evidently an unexplained mys tery at the bottom of it.° The ‘Parson’ was called on for more light. ‘well, gentleman, you see, a meth odist congregation raised $3,000, and turned it over to me to build a church —and I didn,t build the church.
