Bight, my Hearty.
Our Staid old friend, the Macon Tel
egraph, is right this time, certain; but
will he stick to it when the impracti
cables get hold of him ?
Let the People Insist Upon It.—
We urge upon the people who will soon
be holding their primary meetings to
select delegates to the Congressional
conventions, that they insist upon each
delegate’s giving assurances that he
will not vote for any candidate in the
convention who is ineligible. That is
the best plan to keep down all aspir
ants of this class. Let them under
stand; before the convention assembles,
that they have no chance at all there,
and that nothing can be gained by
thnrsting their claims before it. This
policy may possibly restrict the range
of choice by the Convention to very
narrow limits, but it will keep down
all wranggling and scrambling, and
give the people a candidate whose elec
tion will bo worth something in prac
tical results. We don’t know, nor do
we care, who the Convention oan and
will select. That is a secondary mat
ter, altogether. We need not expect
a combination of all the elements of
genius, talent and experience ih the
man chosen, limited as the choioe will
be, but that the convention can and
will find some man who has sound
judgment, strong common sense, strict
integrity and thorough knowledge of
men ana practical business affairs, we
do not doubt for a moment. Any man
with any of these qualities, especially
the two latter, who is eligible, is a mil
lion times preferable to the best man
in the district who is not. Let the
county meetings, then, take care that
their delegates are selected with this
viow.
To members of the Legislature, and
such county officers as may be voted
for in November, let the same test of
eligibility be applied. As no man is
ineligible for any of these State offices
who is not barred by the operations of
the Fourteenth Amendment, the range
of choice will be a great deal wider
than in the case of candidates for Con
gress, and consequently a blunder in
selection much more inexcusable. The
Fourteenth Amendment prohibits any
man—unless his disabilities have been
removed by Congress--from holding
any office, either State or Federal, who
held office either State or Federal bo
lore the war, and took an oath to sup
port the Constitution the United States,
and afterwards engaged in the so-call
ed*rel>eUion. There is no test oath re
quired in the case of these State offi
eee, and therefore any man, no matter
who he is, whoheld no office before
the war, and took no oath to support
the Constitution of the United States,
and afterwards aided the Confederacy,
is ineligible for the Legislature or any
State office. As there are tbourends
of good men who are not barred by
this 14th Awttulnmnt tlm oannot be
any difficulty In getting the best qual
ity 9 1 aaadidatee for the Legislature.

The Past la Past; Let us watch the Present and the Future.
B®*“Prtsßia.” is now a constitution
al monarchy, hereditary ’’in the male
lino of the house of Hohenzollern. —
The constitution, which is derived from
grant by King Frederick William IV..
brother of tie present sovereign, mod
ified by subsequent grants, and has on
ly beenjn existence since in 1848, vests
executive and port of the legisla
tive authority in the King. In the ex
eeutive branch he m assisted by acoun
cil of minister?; appointed by himself.
The legislative bodies consists of the
“Herrcnhause,” which is the Upper
Chamber, and is composed of the prin
ces of the royal family; sixteen “me
diatized” friends; the heads of the ter
ritorial nobility; eightlife peers; eight
titled noblemen elected by the resident
land-owners iq the eight provinces,
representatives of the Universities; the
heads of "chapters;” the mayors of
towns having tnorrthan 50,000 rahab
itants, and persons nominated at tiu
pleasure of the King. The second
ohamber is composed of 432 members,
chosen for three years by general but
not universal suffrage.
Every Prussian subject is enrolled
in tbs army upon reaching the age ol
twenty, and serves three years in the
reserves three years in the regular ar
my, four in the reserves, and nifio in
the "Lahdwehr,” or militia. Even at
tho age of fifty he is not exempt from
military duty, but is thon enrolled in
the “Landaturm," or “home guard.”
On a peace footing, a Prussian regi
rnent consists of three batallions, num
bering 618 each; in war, the batalliont
are increased to 1,002 each.
“Prussia proper contains 24,043,290
inhabitants; the North German Con
federation, including Prussia, 26,610,-
377; the population of the South Ger
man States is 8,611,622, making a to
tal population of all tho contries undei

liam, 38,521,600. That of France is

merce.
Busing Cotton to Akkivk. —The fol
lowing resolutions have been unani
mously passed by the Manchester Cot
ton Association:
That, in the opinion of this meeting,
the system of “buying to arrive,” upon
which the Col ton Spinners’ Associa
tion have been requested by the Liv
erpool Cotton Brokers’ Association to
express an opinion, is a system thor
onghly unsound and opposed to tin
true principle of legitimate trading.—
The system tends to induce trader,
with small means or with no means to
ohtor upon great transactions, which
only should bo undertaken by those
who possess ample capital. It. leads
to eudless disputes between buyer and
seller, and it fosters a method of trad
ing po reckless !iw to deserve Uu. ,
of gambling. Iu the further opinion
of this meeting, this pernicious system
could not have attained its present
widespread operation if the Cotton
Brokers’ Association had not made
special provisions in their rules for reg
ulating a method of trading which
they ought to have been the first to
utterly ignore. Any disputes arising
among a body of gamblers ought to bo
driven for adjudication to the courts
of law. This ineetimr. therefore, re
spectfully urges the Cotton Brokers’
Association at once to abrogate all
rules bearing upon the system of “buy
ing to arrive,” and to refuse in future
to recognize any disputes springing out
of it. In passing this condemnation
upon the system of “buying to arrive,”
this meeting carefully guards itself
against including such transactions as
buying and selling cotton from actual
samples and alrendy on shipboard, and
where bill of lading is produced and the
marks and number of bales given.—
Liverpool Journal.
Takimo the Chances.—How wo hu
mans delight in “taking the chances"
was well illustrated during the draw
ing of the lottery at the festival of the
Clerks’ Benevolent Association, at the
Fair Grounds on the Fourth. We
were on the lower floor of the octago
nal building, and the select and nu
merous crowd who had just been
dancing were scattered m groups
around, while the drawing went for
ward up stairs, the gentlemen who had
volunteered to superintend it calling
first the number and then the prize.—
‘ghat’s my number.” "Another pair
of sleeve buttons.” “I wish that had
been mine.” “When’s tho sowing ma
chine coming,” and the like exclama
tions, were indulged in as the drawing
progressed. Near us a bevy of laugh
ing beauties were gayly chatting when
the number 2,893 was called. “Ah!
that’s my number,” exclaimed one of
them, a dark-eyed Creole belle, and all
waited in breathless expectation to
hear the prize. “Half a dozen Walsbo’s
shirts.” “There Angelina ?” “They
are sure to fit, coming from chemi
settes.” “You’ll look well in them.”
And a dozen other mirthful remarks
were made-to her, but she enjoyed the
odd award re muoe as any of them.
We noticed afterwards, that she had
many a new partner for each
danro, but whether the gentleman had
heard of her good fortune, and consid
ered Walshe’s shirts an additional
charm we would not pretend to say.

NO BOOK has been issued from the
American Press for a lonff time that deserves so
universal n oimilat’on ns this. Bible Dictionaries
have been proparod in former years; some were inea*
i;erant\ imperfect, and all have been outgrown. Cam
let's was surpassed by Kitt<v*»; Kitto’s, and Indeed*
all others, have been far outrivaled by this of Dr.
Smith, of Urn Dondou University, and tho most emi
nent Lexicographer of the Eofflish apeakiuK world.
Having duinlied this work. Dr. H. then propar
ed a oomlonsed edition (the work bolus !n throe mas
sive o< tavo volumes, was too largo and costly for tho
public generally,) which should include all tliat is ln>at
adapted to the need* of Christian families and Sab-'
bath School Tsachers. This is the Work now repub
lisho<i iu fni» country, whffce title wo have given, and
wo do not hesitate to say that, it shohld go into every
dwelling whore there ia any desire to read and study
the Mtble Intelligently and with protlt. Every person
connected with a Sabbath School, either as teacher or
pupil, and every parent should, by all meaus. avail
themselves hf this iueomparalje help.
This edition is tn the highest style of tho art, large
ly illustrated with elegant wood and stool entTravings
ami maps, printed in clear and bountiful typo, and in
evuvy r«M>*et vn harmony wlfei thO blub character and
value of Uio work. No House tbi*

Gnco of their books. Aud in tho igßirtt of this, they
vo spared no pains uor expense. It has several
special and essential merits beyond tho English edi
tion, and especially over .any other reprint in this
country. It contains all tho matter of the largest edi
tion. oxcept numerous disquisitions and critical notes
ou original Hebrew and Greek terms, which aro of no
practical value to the general English student, aud
considerably more than twice the reading matter of
the smaller books. With ad its elegance aud embel
lshments, it is tho cheapest edition.
»*rlt is having a largo and rapid sale, as nothing
but straightened moans can induce any wise parent or
faithful teacher to decline tho offer of an auxiliary for
