us during tho past few days that
there has been such a strong op

and yet have so many voles cast
for him by the legislature in joint

Albania is in such a prosperous
condition that the Governor rec-
umends * in Ids annum message a
reduction ol taxation. The South
ern States are gradually but surely
extricating themselves Irom their
flifaneinl embarrassments.
The Memphis Appeal utters a
vd voice in favor of a reduction
the size of the uotlon bale, de
wing the present bale to be un-
ccssarily and inconveniently
gc. Tbe Appeal states forcibly
e disadvantages of the present
andard size halo to a’l parties
neerned, and uigea that a reduo-
of its size would result in
'ntly increased economy and con-
. iencc to sbipiHirs.
Tbe ten "conspirators” us they
'ire called, from Thomson, who
were taken to Savannah by a Uni
ted State* marshal because Mr. W.
A. Harrison canned an insolent
negro fo. - going into bis wife's pri
vate bed room, all have been re
leased but three who gave bond to
appear on tbe 27tb instant before
tho United States court.
The republican party is In tbe
same quandary of tbe fabled “coun
cil or mice.” A meeting bail bccu
culled to deliberate upon tbcncccssi
ty of placing a bell upon a certain
cat that bad caused them much
annoyance, to say nothing of abso
lute loss. They were unanimous
ns to the necessity, but the trouble
arose when they came to select the
party to put the bell on the cat.
Tbe republican Journals nrc discuss
ing, and some of them very vigor
ously, the meaning of tbe lute po
litical overthrow, and the cry goes
up from all quarters that the party
must unload. As to the necessity
tliey arc all agreed, but the ques
tion which involves great dillicully
is “who is to be unloaded and who
is to slay oil board.” While this
Killkeiiny tight is going on ns to
who is the Jonah, tbe old craft is
going to pieces upon the breakers.
The London Financier says that
Confederate bonds have gone up
considerably since the news of the
Democratic gains in tbe United
Slates was received, that large saps
have taken place since the election,
ami that the bonds are now Arm.—
Ex.
If Englishmen buy up Confeder
ate bonds with the idea that a
Democratic administration will re
deem them, they will be the worst
fooled set of flnauciers that ever
gambled. No one in this country
is willing to be taxed for tbe pay
ment of these bonds. The war bas
cost tbe South loo much for its peo
ple to wish any more added.
Hon. Pope Barrow’s election to
tbe United States Senate guaran
tees tariirreform as far as Geor
gia can, through him as her repre
sentative, bring it about. In Ins
recent speech before the Legisla
ture be showed that lie fully under
stood the subject by showing that
the present tarilf takes out of the
pockets of the Southern planter
every year 660,000,000 or $70,000,- j
000 of the $250,000,000 which they
receive for their cotton crop. The
New York Times is a Republican
paper, but even it applauds Sena
tor [Barrow's statesmanship, and
says: “Mr. Barrow’s influence up
on tbe legislation of the Senate
will necessarily lie limited but what
there is of it will [certainly not be
so employed us to encourage the
theory of a ^“growing high tarifl
sentiment in the South.”

But the house was closed; a little
child of tho landlord's had died that
day; and he said lie wouldn’t have
any strangers around the place. It
was grief did it, for that landlord
was generally a first rate follow,
and one of the most good-natured
men alive. We all felt sorry for
him, and Barrett especially. He
tried to console him,nnd after they
hnd talked awhile together, with
tears in his eyes, the landlord led
Barrett in to look at the child.
They came out with wet eyes, nnd,
after they had gulped down a glass
of old rye in silent grief, the land
lord, at Barrett’s request, brought
him writing materials. Well, sir,
I give yon my word that in half an
hour he had written the sweetest
little obituary'poem on that dead
