The recent democratic victory in
Ohio indicates a democratic national
vietory in 'B4.
It is now reported that Mr. Sam
uel J. Tilden will visit the South this
winter.
ITenry Ward Beecher's lecture in
Atlanta last Friday night netted the
reverend gentleman $1,300.
Vennor, the weather propuet, has
80 far recovered his equanimity as to
make another prediction. He proph
esies, now, that we shall have a
mild, pleasant winter.
The legislature during its late
session, passed a law making it a
misdsemeanor to fire off guns or pis
tols on pubiic roads, raii-roads, or at
places of public gatherings at night.
The farmers of Worth county re
cently held a meeting and passed
resolutions to resist the payment of
guano debts, the result of which
will be to make the farmer poorer
and the lawyer richer.
Gov. elect Hoadly, ot Ohio, is
looming up as a possible candidate for
thojpresidency in 'B4. His late suc
cess in Ohio has given him much
promiuence as a presidential possi
bility already.
The Republican party appears to
be badly chagrined over its Water
loo defeatin Ohio. Well enough,
for the people of this country have
been oppressed with Radical corrup
tion too long alveady.
Is it possible that editor Branham,
of the Mirror, had to have an expla
nation of the term “will see that,
and go two better?” The Judgeis
a nice man but our recollection is
that he had some experience during
the late war as a soldier.
Beast Butler, of Mess., is trying,
to work up a boom as a demoeratic
<audidate for the presidency in 'B4.
The Beast will never live to geta
Southern vote. His reign at New
Orleans during the late waris still
too freshin the minds of Southern
people to admit of any milk and ci
der basiness in this thine.
Sare enough, Ohio Las gone dem
ocratic by a very bandsome majority.
Huadly, the democratic nominee for
governor, was elected by about 12,
000 majority over TForaker, the re
publican candidate. The. demoerats
will also have possession of the leg
islature on & joint ballot, ‘which in
sures the election ofa democratic
United States Senator from that
state.
In his lecture at- Mouigomery on
Jast Thursday night, Henry Ward
Beecher disclaimed ever having ut
tered one single word derogatory of
Confederate soldiers. On the con
trary, he said that he admired the
cauivalrous spirit of the Southern peo
ple, and the manner in which they
had borne themselves in the late war
was unparalelled in all history. M.
Beechar professes to be Lighly de
tighted with his tour through the
Jdouth. Of course.
The failure of the legislature to
appropriate funds for the establish
ment of a technological school in
Georgia has jndaced the Telegraph
ane Messengor to make an appeal to
private philanthropy. In other
words . the Telegraph asks thai it be
done by private donation. Wo are
heartily in favor of such a school and
hope that the day way not be far dis
tant when we shall have it. Alceady
one thousand dollars have been ten
dered towards starting the enter
prise.
A water-packed bale of cotton, in
which was contained a log of wood,
whieh weighed 75 pounds, was re
cently fonnd in Savannah. The dis
covery excited great indignation.
The bale had been consigned to
Messrs. Daflin and Dresser,and came
from Southwest Georgia. The fraud
will be investigated, and doubtless
will be traced up to the guilty party.
It is to be hoped so, for such dishon
esty reflects upon. every planter in
the South.—Savannah News,
The Supreme Court of the United
States bas decided that the Civi)
Rights Bill is uneconstitnlional, The
decision has becn received with
universal delight throughout the
Soutl;, and we doubt not that it
will put an end 10 all further trouble
from the negro upon thie question of
social rights and social equality
It was a most righteous decision
and we honor the Honorable Sa
preme Court for its pluck aud integ
rity,
WATTERSON ON DIXIE.
An Eloquent Statement oflts
Growth.
LouvisviLe, Oct. 11.—In the
Banker’s Convention to-day, after the
other business was concluded and
the officers for the ensuing year
clected, Henry Watterson, by invita
tion, addressed the convention. Af
ter some very pleasing allusions to
the banks and bankers, which put
the convention in good humor, Mr.
Watterson said: “It was not how
ever, to hear of banks and bankers
and banking that you did me the
honor to call me before you. lam
told that to-day you are consideriug
that problem which has so disturbed ‘
the politicians of the South, and that
you wish me to talk to you about the i
South. Itis no problem atall I
thank God-that at last we can say |
with trath it is simply a geograph
ical expression. [Applause.] _Thei
whole story of the South may be
summed up in the sentence : She was |
rich and she lost har riches ; she was
poor and in bondage ; she was set
free and had to go to work; she went
‘to work and she is now richer than
ever before. [Applause.] The
curse ot slavery was ‘hers. God
passed a rod across the land and
smote the people. Then in his good
ness and mercy He waved the wand
of enchantment, and 10, like a flower,
His blessings burst forth. [Ap
planse.] Indeed, may the South
say, as in the experience of men, it is
rare for any to say with perfeet sin
cerity, ‘Sweet are the uses of adversi
ty.” [Applause.] The South never
knew what independence meant un
til she was taught by subjection to
subdue herself. We lived from band
to mouth. We bad our debts and
our niggers. Under the old system
‘we paid our debts and walloped our
‘niggers, but under the new we pay
our riggers and wallop our debts.
[Laughter and applause.] We have
no longer any slaves, but we have
no longer any debt# and can ex
claim with the old darkey at the
camp meeting who, whenever he got
happy, went about shouting : “Bless
the Lord, I'm getting fatter and fat
ter.” [Laughter] The truth is that
behind the great ruffle the South
wore to its shirt, there lay concealed
superb manhood. That this man
‘hood was perverted thers is no
}doubt: that it wasted its energies
‘upon trifles is beyond dispute ; that
it took pride in cultivating what it
called ‘the vices of a gentleman’ I
am afraid must be admitted, but at
heart it was sound. From that
‘heart flowed honest Anglo-Saxon
blood, and when it had to lay aside
its broadcloth and put on its jeans it
wus equal to the emergency, [great
applause] and the women of the
South took their place by the side of
the men of the South, and with the
spinning wheel and plowshare, to
gether they made a stand against the
wolf at the door. That was fifteen
years ago, and to-day there is nota
reward offered in a single Southern
State for wolf skins. The fact is the
wolves have got ashamed of them
selves and gone to work. [Laugh
ter and applause.] I beg you to be
lieve that in taying this my purpose
is not to amuse or mislead you. Al
though my words may seem to car
ry with them an unbusiness-like lev
ity, I assure you that my design is
wholly business-like. You -can sce
for yourselves here in Louisville
what the South has done and what
the South can do. If all this has
been achieved without credit and
without your powerful ‘aid—l am
now addressing myself 1o the North
and East, which have feared to come
South with their money—what might
not be achieved if the vast aggre
gations of capital in the fiscal cen
tres should add this land of milk,
wine and honey to their fields of in
vestment and give us the same cheap
rates which are enjoyed by nearer,
bat not safer borrowers. The fi
ture of the South is not a whit less
assured than the future of the West.
Why should money which is freely
loaned to Jowa and Illinois be re
fused to Alabama and Mississippi? I
>perfectly understand thac business is
business, and that capital is as un
sectional as uvsentimental. | am
speaking from neither spirit. You
have money to loan. We have a
great country to develop. We
have given hostages to fortunes and
our works are betore you. I know
that eapital is timid, but what arve
ou afraid of ? Is it our cotton that
alarmns you, or our corn,or our su
gar? Perhaps it is our coal and iron.
Without yeu, in truth, many of these
products must make slow progress.
While the others will continue 1o lie
hidden iv the bowels of the earth.
With you the South will bloom as a
garden and sparkle as a gold mine,
for whether you tickle bher fertile
fieldls with a straw or apply more
violent titillation to her fat moun
tain sides she is ready to laugh a
harvest of untold riches.” “Pro
longed applause.]
At the conclusion of Watterson's
speech the unusual compliment of a
| unanimous rising vote of thanks was
| accorded him,
Paying of Debts.
All men should be honest ; not as
a matter of policy merely, but be
cause it is right to be honest. All
men should desire to do right. and
since it is right to be honest, there
fore, all men should be honest. This
is a conclusive, syllogistic statement
of a plain proposition which no man
will deny. The word honest may be
used in a very broad and almost lim
itless extent, but in its use as appli
ed to the payment of debts, men
should be sciupulously honest. No
man can hope to stand well in a com
munity who negleets the payment of
his honest debts. It matters not
that he has some fancied =xcuse for
not paying his debts—an excuse it
may be that lulls to rest his own
conscieunce, but with all that, tc stand
well among his neighbors he must
pay his debts. How often have we
heard the expression, “oh, pshaw!
don’t mention hiun; he don’t pay his
debts " A man has no right to run in
debt when he does it at the expense
of his creditors. Heshould first be
certain that he is able to pay what he
already owes before he goes in any
deeper. It is not enough to say thut
his debtors don't pay him, and, there
fore, he can’t pay you. It must be
borne in mind that excu<Es don't pay
debts; and, nothing short of the
money can satisfy the creditor.—Men
should ba very jealous of their credit,
for this is all that many of them have,
and to recklessly dispose of this, puts “
them in a bad plight indeed. As a |
rule, it is better for a maa to sell his
very pocket knife rather thau to let
bis fair name decome smirched with
the bad reputation of not paying his
debts. While we do not, in a gener
al way, approve of the plan so much
resorted to in the South of late years,
that of giving mortgages on personal
and real estate property, it is better
—far better—to do this than disap
lpointa creditor when the money is
due aud he’s expecting you to pay it.
Yes, it is better to mortgage the last
shirt on your back rather than to
have your credit suffer for a moment.
A man’s credit ought to be the most
tender, the most delicate and the
most sensitive of all he possesses.
and he should guard it and protect
it, if needs be, with his very life.
I have known much of the manu
facture and use ot Swift's Specific.
There are men in this community,
well known citizens, who were vie
tims in their life. and who hava'talon
S 8.8, and are now, to all appear
ances, and in their own belief, as
free from taint of disease as the first
man, fresh from his Maker. Delicacy
forbids their public recommenda
tions, but I am allowed 10 refer the
skeptic privately to those who en
dorse everything that can be said in
ity favor. Being professionally much
opposed to endorsing secret reme
dies, it is with hesitation I attach
my name to.this article ; but 1 know
whereof I speak when I say that onr
science has not yet made public a
combination equal to 8. S. S. for the
purpose indicated.

“It was a very fair dinner at Sir
Gorgy Buster’s,” said Mrs. Ramsbo
tham ; “though I think a little more
attention might have been bestowed
on the enfresols, and if the lights
had had what the French
call their ‘shadeovers,’ it
would have been better for the
eves.”’
