The Valdosta Times comes to ns enlarged and improved with new dress of type. It is now printed on a power press and looks as neat and pretty as a girl of “sweet sixteen.” Being a good paper, we are pleased to see these evidences of its prosperity. The reduction of Cleveland’s 192,000 plurality in New York ap pears to afford the Blaine organs some consolation. Tboy are not as well pleased, however, with the foot that he had 28,000 more votes at the late election than be did when be had the 192,000 plurality, Speaker Carlisle, referring to the probability of tariff legislation dun ing the present session of congress takes very conservative and sen. sible ground. He is opposed to reopening the question because it could not be satisfactorily dispos. ed of now; besides the people have eleoted a new congress whose province it is to deal witli such Im portent matters. The republicans have found a new consolation, which we sincere, ly hope will reconcile them to life yet a little longer. They now de clare that Blaine was the only man they oould have nominated who could have carried Ohio. The democrats, therefore, must make up their minds to the conviction that their victory is not as great as . it might have been. “MELAKCHOLY MIRTH.” Under this appropriate title Ed itor Glessner, formerly of the Clin ton (III.) Register and now of the Amcricus (Ga.) Rkcokdib, admin istsrs a large dose of ipecac and molasses to his quondam neighbor, Richard Butler, of the Clinton Publio. Mr. Butler is also post master. Hence theso tears ! Mr. GleBsner says that aftor twenty- four years’ experience lie knows what defeat means, and how his Republican friends in Illinois feel, and says, “it makes ns feel good, all over.” Wo arc glad to sec par tisan editors happy by turns. Poor fellows, it is tbc best they can do. Only nonpartisan papers are happy all the time.—Anna (Ill.) Talk. Tbc New York Evening Post says : “Thero has been a great deal of cheap talk about Cleveland’s losing the confidence of the people of his own Stato because his ma jority of 192,000 in 1882 was cut down to a plurality of 1,100 in 1881. One simple fact disposes of the as sertion. Cleveland's total vote when bo ran for govornor and liis great majority, was 535,318. His total vote this year was 553,109 He has held his voto of two years ago and has polled 21,851 votes more. He has polled 28,658 more votes than Hancock had and 42,220 more than Tildcn had. What gave him bis great majority in 1882 was the refusal of thousands of repub licans to vote for Folgcr. Blaine’s V vote in the Stato outsido tbc city was 2,000 behind Garfield's. In the city be gained 8,000 on Gar field." THE FOLLY OF THU LIE. It seems to us that even one view of the lie so often repeated by cer tain classes at the North that the colored race in the South are mis treated should satisfy fair minded men as to its real character—that is, that the colored people remain in the South. Why do the Irish migrate from their native land in such numbers! They love tbeir fatherland with a love excelled by no other people on earth, certainly not exceeded by the Africans, who for generations were slaves. It is not because the Irish are oppressed and driven by this oppression from the land they love so well f No doubt of it. Now, if the colored people in tbc South deemed themselves oppressed, would they not go somewhere else f The world is open to them. But they will not go even to tbe land of their pretended friends who are so loud-mouthed in tbeir professions of regard for them. Why is this ? Certainly it is because they feel that they arc well-off fcgre, that they arc among their best friends, and consequently they remain whero their inclinations and tbeir interests are. This “mistreating the negro” talk is bosh and slander. icura Mrs. Nmlth'i Cn*e. and what the Key.

Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi als bought on credit. These manufacturers placed their faith on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given for piece goods, but the trade did not come, the continuous warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there was nothing left for them to do but to fail and turn their goods over to an Assignee. It was bad for them, but it is in your power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. Our Mr. Joe Waxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars, we bought Thirty-Three Thousand more in Boys, Chil drens and Men's Clothing, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Fancy Goods, Corsets, etc., at prices varying from SO to 60 per cent, of the actual value.
