The present political status very clearly
presents the atitudo of the two great par
ties that arc making desperate ctlbrts for
the complete mastery of the situation.
The struggle that is now going on between
the Democratic party and the Kenubliean
party is the same contest that lias been
fought over and over again between the va
rious political parties through all the shift
ing scenes of the times since the first for
mation of our Government. Kven before
the adoption of the Federal Constitution,
thero were two parties : one known as the
party of popular rights, the other as the
party of centralisation. The first were in
clined to oppose the adoption of the Con
stitution because it was too centralizing,
in their opinion, the latter because it was
not centralizing enough. In the debates
over these questions it clearly appears that
•the Federal Constitution was adopted on
the express idea that the Government was
•to be one of popular rights, of constitu
tional limitations, of reserved rights of the
States, or. as it hRS been beautifully said :
It should be otic as the ocean, distinct as
the waves ; one os the general Government,
distinct and separate as the sovereign
States.
These principles being thus engrafted on
the constitutional law, became a part of
our system, a cardinal feature of our <>ov
ernincnt. War came, and deluged our
land, but it did not alter the form of our
Government, neither did it destroy a single
principle. The contest has been waged
long and desperate between the overthrow
of great principles of our Government and
the defense of those principles. These
principles have been overthrown and
trampled under feet by a fanatic pnrtizan
ism, hut like the great principles of inagna
cliarta. they arise from beneath the vandal
feet of those who would trample them out
forever. The continuation of this great
struggle for the overthrow of principles,
as we have said, and the defense of them,
. culminates in the great issue formed be
tween the parties over the appropriation
bills in Congress. The main question is,
whether wo are to have free elections,
whether American freemen shall be allow
ed to go quietly, voluntarily, without mo-!
lcstatiou from any source whatever, to the
ballot-box and deposit their votes for the
candidate of their choice, or whether they
shall be held under the dominating force
and influence of bristling bayonets, and in
a great many cases, he driven like sheep
to the shambles, to vote to sustain in power
the very authorities that thus robs them of
.their most precious rights?
Upon this plain, simple question of lib
erty on the one side and tne most high
handed oppression on the other, the two
great parties have planted themselves. The
party of pence- the party that believes in
the doctrine of ffec elections—passes the
bill in every form to prohibit the army
from the polls, and as often as it is done,
i the head of the Republican party, in the
person of Mr. Hayes, vetoes the bill. The
question at issue occurs to us as fraught
with more dangerous consequences than
any ever presented during the history of
our Republic. The people nt the polls, it
is true, will rise with indignation at the
dagger thrust upon their liberties, but the
United States army will he marshaled into
line to stiHe and thwart the fruits of their
patriotic efforts, l'ublic feeling must be
aroused, the great voice of American free
men must speak in thunder tones against
the lowering dangers that threaten, or the
bright star of our grand Republic will sink
forever beneath the purple tide of despot
ism, and free elections will be a thing ot the
• past.
A FOOLISH COCK.
A few days ago. in the United States
Senate, old Znchariah Chandler undertook
to reply to the great speecli of Senator
'Hill. After pouring forth his torrents of
splenetic hate upon the South, by which
sectional animosities might be aroused, and
•the “ second sober thoughts,” which are
fast becoming the governing principles of
the great masses of our people, could be
checked, he strided the col loss us and quot
ed the mystic writing oil the walls which
Daniel interpreted for the ancient king as
applicable in its significance to the pres
ent position of the Democratic party. The
old Michigander, in predicting that the
Democratic party is on the verge of over
throw, has given the country a fine illus
tration of tile foolish cock, who, mistaking
the rising of the sun for the setting there
of, tlew up on his dung-hili to roost and
gnvo a shrill crow at tho fading, glimmer
ing landscape of the day.
The old gentleman from the lakes has
rented forth a sad requiem over the last
lingering rays of the Democratic party,
when in reality it was the glorious, mag
niticent rays of the rising suu that lie took
:to be the gold-crested splendors of its set
iting. A lew years in the future will cer
itainly enable liim to realize his fatal inis
■take.

The annual Convention of Georgia edi
tors convened at. Cartersvillc last week.
An excellent address of welcome was de
livered by Major Charles 11. Smith, u/ws
Bill Arp, the great Georgia humorist,
which was responded to by Capt. I'. M.
Peeples, of the Lavricnccvillc Herald. Wo
regret that circumstances were such that
we could not be on hand, but arc pleased
that Cartersvillc fully sustained her laurels
in the way of hospitality, and the press
gang had quite an enjoyable period of rest
and recreation. After passing a few days
and taking an excursion over the Cherokee
K. R. and feasting on the bounteous hospi
tality of the people ut Cartersvillc, the
Convention adjourned to meet in its next
annual session at Cuthbert.
The annual assembling together of the
members of the press is Doth pleasant and
profitable. \\ hile there is usually no busi
ness of importance to transact, yet the
interchange ol'views and the acquaintances
and associations formed promote the cause
of journalism. W hat Christmas times,
with the egg-nogg and persimmon beer was
to the old darkies in ye olden times, such
is the annual meeting ol the press-gang,
when after long days and months of ar
duous labor, they can throw aside care and
toil aud pass a few days of hi!ariou„ enjoy
ment.

Elbt-rton Etchings.
There is considerable feeling being man
ifested among the members of the Baptist
Church, the Chureh, in every respect, seems
to be wanner than it has been for years.
It lias connected with it a nourishing and
quite a promising Sunday School. This
great manifestation of brotherly love has
been attributed by some to a seemingly
insignificant incident, which 1 will relate:
About the 25th of January. Prof. John A.
Rives, who is still in Elbcrton and who has
located here a singing school, at this
Church, by his suavity of manner, and
earnestness in the prosecution of his work,
got the members of the Church interested
in music, the most of them contributed
freely to the support of the school, and
they became greatly interested in its suc
cess. It did succeed, and it is the opinion
of many thet the institution of the singing
is what brought about this result.
Tell me, (), miiso, for thou or none can tell,
The mystic powers that iu blessed numbers dwell.
Wc are soon to have another house of
worship. The Presbyterian Church is to
be completed before and dedicated on the
2d Sabbath in next month. The sermon
from their pastor last Sabbath excited
great interest in the cause, and the dedica
tion will be looked forward to with pleas
ure and delight, it has been some time
since this Church was begun ; however, the
members deserve great credit for having
done so well as they have, there being so
i few Presbyterians at this place. May hap
piness and prosperity bo with them.
Every breeze brings with it some soft
strain of music.
Flies are getting to be very bad. Oh.
for a Mapping machine to Map them off

Straw hats and blue coats !—Gosh, how
the boys are pleased.

*• Where are those negroes going?” “ To

A l)unftrrou Torpor.
Torpor or inactivity of the kidneys is se
riously dangerous to those organs, since it
is the precedent of diseases which destroy
their substance and endanger life. This
sluggishness may be overcome by stimu
lating them, not excessively, but moder
ately, an effect produced by Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters, a general invigorant and
alterative, possessing diuretic properties of
no common order. The impetus which
this admirable medicine gives to their eva
cuutivc function counteracts any tendency
to congestion which may exist in their tis
sues. Both they ami their associate organ,
the bladder, are invigorated as well as
gently stimulated by the Bitters, which ex
erts a kindred influence upon the stomach,
liver and bowels, and by strengthening the
system, enables it to withstand malarial
epidemics, to which when exposed it might
otherwise succumb.
