A Figure —A ri porter of one of Frank Leslie’s papers interviewed a manager of the late North Carolina colored Fair, aod bad this reply hurled at hiui with such force as to give him the beadacbe : ‘ Dere’s people of bof classes as isn’t gen’- 1 manly. We are operatin’ die distraction to the consummation of our sability, but a satisfactory eoncilaition results in a demon stration Ot aggteteive combat. We are a lower raee on the strapum of mortality, but our abnormal instincts is but an abort ion wed befindnatios.** Here a rooaSer, pruned m an adjoin** coop, » Havtoo oose.

Really, when we read of the many at tempts made to deprive Russia of its present ruler, we are glad that we are not the Em peror of that hot-beaded people. It is enough to make one wish to live and die a "high private in the rear rank.” aid this rear rank be far oot of sight, when he reads of the mpana used and the determination ex hibited to kill the Czar. They have come very near it once nr twice The last time— only a fpw days since—a portion of his bag gage was blown sky high, and the (’znr only escaped through a misapprehension on the pnrl of hla wonid-be mmderers as to the particular coach in which he was supposed to be. (He was traveling by rail.) Rnlers are safe nowhere. “Uneasy rests the head that wears the crown," is a trite adage. Few monarchs have passed through life without having undergone just such risks as that from which the Emperor o' Russia has hut lately been delivered. Even the good old Emperor of Germany is now and then shot at, and occasionally hit, though fortunately he has never been badly hurt. Alfonso, too, the yonng. and just now supposed to be (be exceedingly happy King of all the Spaniards, has on at least one occasion been the target at which some degenerate Castilian aimed his blundering Corhine. And numerous instance* could be mentioned wheje royalty has bud hairbreadth escapes from a tragic death. This proves that there are fanuFca every where’. No good could be accomplished were all the kings of the earth to die to morrow. The governments would Dot die. The policies they are enforcing would still live, and their successors, warned by (lie fute of those whose places they were culled to fill, would bring into active power all the machinery of their dominions to ferret out and bring to punishment the assassins And yet there are men who become rc3tlesr k di«- ■atiafied, and long for the death of those who they imagine are the great and primary cause of their ottslortoues. Russia is a great country in many nspects ; it is a vast country, and contains not only vast forests, but a number of mighty cities. The people are sorely taxed and overbur dened, and that a Nihilist party has been formed, whose purpose is to pave tbe wuy for a new dynasty, is no cause for surprise. This antagonistic dement, however, will certainly come to grief. A heavy percent age of them will aid in the development of the mines of Siberia, as a penalty for treason, while hundnds of them will asrist In filling holes in the ground, their own bodies form inp a portion of the deposit. Now, we do not care a 9traw about Kniser Wilhelm, the (’zir, or the newly wedded King of Spain ; but we are opposed to this shoo'ing and cutting process, all the wuy through. Ilia barbarous. It smicks 100 strongly of tbe Ute Indians. It breeds within ns a fear that perhaps, by chance, by acc'dewt, as if fate had decreed it, some foul fiend on murd r intent might toke us for a King, and explore our unatomy in a way to excite our disgust. Yes, we are opposed to the whole thing, and most devoutly pray that this Nihilist movement may be forever confined to tbe dreary, wolf-inhabited region round about Moscow. They may krep it op all winter if they to desire ; but for the sake of peace aud tbe welfare of all con cerned, let U some nearer this way ! “Plat Luk.” Replying to oor query of last week, Brother Hanl iter says: The connection between a hard money policy and centralism or monarchy,is brief!. this : Gold is now and has ulwavs been the money of tyrants. Wherever it has been the chief currency, human slavery has exist ed. Gold has an intrinsic value, and like oiher u-eful products of labor, fluctuates ac cording to the law* of supply and demand. It is valuable in tin* hands of a k ng after he is dethroned as well as when his rule is in tuct. Its value can be enhanced, during a hard money reign, by simply withdrawing it from circulation generally. At best, the -apply of gold is far from being adequate to the demands of tiuffie, and coinmerci.il and productive enterprise bring cramped, the people are kept m const quent ignorance and poverty, totally nnable to resist tbe stealthy but sure advances to power made by the selfish tew who seek only tbe gratification of tbeir own love of greed. The Lading tutu of monarchical tei d mcies know that a p opte srbw have n* adiquan: currency w ill piosprr. become less dependent upon 1 the few, and hence have n.ore leisure for looking into tbe why and aheielore of things. With prosperity tbe people would become more self dependent and nalu'ally rely less upon a all eng government for protection and sustenance. The leading centralisers know th.s, and bene* do all io tbeir power to cortaii a currency. To make tlie rich richer, aod tbe poor poorer. With gold tbe dictator cau buy ILssiutis to keep hia own people iu subjection. He cannot do this with a national paper mooey like green backs, because iu> value depend* upon the uiuy and prosperity ot tbe e-tire people. Greenback money makes s republic stronger as a republic, but it is tbe foe of monurebs and dtc'atois Tbe fortg 'ing is a mere outliue of tbe arguments we could elucidate to show the connection between tbe bard money policy aud centralism, but your Weekly reached us after our copy was in tbe bauds of tbe printer, and we buve not space to diffuse more light at present. -' Brother H makes a very locid expiana fßis dr natty point, we candidly ad •*<—M tawat it might w apj>car to on* ot f»s wkjr it rtricking—yet, for tbe 'ilk of V able greenback dollar. Labor, or the pro duets of labor, will ever be worth their equivalent in money, whether gold or green backs, ard the bulk of currency in circula tion cannot affect the price of either, in ifkelf Ff money ia scarce, labor, and the product* of labor, will h« proportioned exactly to the snpply and demand. The same result would follow on it. Bated cum ncy, with this differ ence : A greenback dollar would not have the Intrinsic value of a gidd dollar—it amid not— (or the rea c on that it would hove no basis in fact, and would he liable to fluc tuate with the feelines of the populace. If confidence in the government should be shaken, it would deteriorate in vuloe, of course, and until that confidence was fully restored, it eoold not he mnde available for all the purposes of a circulating medium. But we desist. We rnoy not hive ex pressed our views as clearly as Brother H. ; it is a subject that cannot be treated in few words—yet we think our statement will be in'elligible to the masses at least, a majority of whom prefer gold to the airy, fluctuating currency which ourgood brotfri would have us believe is beat for tbe country Hymeneal.— lt gives os more than nrdl nnrv pleasure to record tbe muiringe of Mr. H.

Funny. —An idiot, witli more brass than brains, and in a spirit of perverseness thus concludes a letter to the Philadelphia Press. it is rare that more stupidity is seen in so small a space, or more downright falsehood unblushingly told. Whoever the author may be, he should go to the head of bis class : “No man represents the true sentiment* of tie masses ot the Southern people to day better than Robert Toombs, of Georgia. When he sneaks in public it is to an im mense throng, and when he delivers one of his defiant disunion speeches the yells of ap plause that arise are terrific. The new-pu pers and political bummers try to explain away Toombs an i his sulphuric tulk. that the Northern heart muy be trnwn and the Northern mini! deceived, to the end .hut a Democratic .Presid'd may be elected, and then Toombs would be a conse vutive Union ist in comparison with them.” Mitchell’s Ststnm.— The Fayetteville coirespondent of the Jonesboro Newt, speak ing ol Mitchell’s system of book-kieping, says : Through the courtesy of Mr. Wm.

On Thursday Con gress adjnnrned until Monday. Many mem bers are asking leave to go home until after the holidays and there seems to be a wide spread disinclination for real work. From past experience it appears almost useless to have Congress assemble before the Ist of January. To have the session open on tbe fir«t Morijay in December, and then adjourn two wepks for holiday, without having ac complished anvthiog hevond legislative dilly dallying. is, to say the lea-t. nnprofitab'e. There is considerable ta'k in political cir cles about presidential prospects and candi dates. hut, when sifted and divested of the oracular hnmbugrv of interviews with prom'nent men, nothing more has been de- V loped than has been known for the last month ft is evidently too early to discuss this question now. There will be time be fore th? conventions assemble to nominate candidates for more than one torn in the political kaleidoscope. Republicans believe they can elect cither Grant, Sherman, Blaine, nr Cockling. Democrats talk mostly of Sevmour, with Bayard lor second choice. It is expected that the committee on elections will soon present their reports od the sixteen con'ested seats in tbe House. Four are ready to be heard now ; tbe briefs are nil printed and tbe contestants are in at tendance. The only contested seat in the Senate is that of Kellogg, of Louisiana. He will probably not be molested until late in the ses-ion, but, whenever the subject shall come up, there will be another long rehearsal of the familiar Louisiana question. No previous question rule cuu gag oratory in the Senate. The Post master-G, nerid evidently feels the vintage of his position in liis fight wi'li tbe lottery companies. Yesterday a formid able array of lawyers, headed by Senator Matt Carpenter, appeared in tbe District Court to argue the service of an injunction upon Judge Key to prevent him Irom de taining letters addres-ed to lottery compan i, s. Chief Justice Carter, who. with Jusiice James, occupied tbe bench, declined to in 'eriapt ihe regular orj r of business to hear the case, which was referred to ibe court by Ju-tice McArthur, who also fixed a day for argument. They would hear it on regular motion day, Monduy. Beuator Carpenter said he could not be present then, but could on Saturday. The court then announced the latter duy lor the hearing, and proceeded with the ease on trial. Tbe pust-i.ffiee de partment was not represented, nor had any appi arance been entered or other notice taken of tbe process which had beeu served on the PostDiaster-Geoeral. It is under stood that the latter has decided to leave the entire responsibility with the court to deter mine whether it will us»ume jurisdiction iD the matter. Washington, D C , Dec sth, 1879. Death of General E. P. Daniel. On yesterday morning the community whs pained io learn of i he death of one ot our oldest cit zens, tier.. E. P. Daniel, which occurred on Thursday night. Tbe deceased was one of the most prominent citizens of Middle Georgia, and us a large prop rty bolder has long been indentifi.d with its interest. He was at one time th« Cleik of Court of Pike county, which po sition he occupied during the long period of twenty years. In the ante bellum days lie held the high position of a General in the State Militia, by which title he has ever since been known. He was at the head of one of the largest and most honored families in this section, ut which wo mention. Dr. .\l. J. Daniel, Dr. Fed Daniel, Colonel Charles Duuiel, aud Mrs, J. T. Rucker, and Mrs W W. Walker. The kte Gen. Daniel was before the war, and during the war, one of oar largest property holders, and deeply interest'd in th ■ enterprises oi our section Tbe results of war, while it was far from impoverishing, rcduie I his large property, like it did others in the South. Since the war, from the relics ofTiis large fortune, he has lived in coailort and ease, mingling but little either in pol ities or active business. He was born in 1800, and consequently, ut the time of his death, was nearly 80 years old He died in the quiet resignation of old age, with the fullness of years and honor, re spected by all who knew him for those qualities that make up the sum of <>n hon o>ubie manhood, and regretted by a large social circle be whom he was held in high esteem.— Gnffin News, 6lh mat. Thr Cincinnati Southern Railroad The Cincinnati Southern Railroad is to be finished by the 10th ot this month to Chat tanooga. aiid preparations are being made to give a grand excursion to Cincinnati about the 1 st of Janu iry. 'Hie completion of this road will be an epoch in the railroad history of the country, opening up as it does » new and important tiunk line from one of the chief cities of the V> est to the Southern Atlantic ports. It is quite provable that this great trunk line will l>e continu'd on at uo distant day from Chattanooga to this point, making connection here with the S. G Jj V A R.
