££T Sam Jones in his sermon
at Cedartown during the session of
the Methodist conference, stated
that twelve years ago he served a
circuit a lew miles from that place
which paid him $63 for liis year’s
work. Since then there has been
a big revolution in his wheel of
fortune, for ids exchequer now
shows up an annual income of
.130,000 and yet the programme of
his march is onward and upward.
Senator Sherman is not
only troubled but grossly outraged
at the mad pranks that were kicked
up in Ohio, when the bottom was
almost knocked out of the grand
old party. He has assumed the
role of a political physician, and
prescribes the appointment by the
president, to be confirmed, of
course, by his star chamber, the
senate, of a state board of canvass
ers for every congressional district,
who shall pass upon the modus
■operandi when their candidates are
•defeated.
Billy Chandler is still fret
ting, and every time his sore ear
smarts him he eases the pain by
saying something mean against the
South. His last ebullition is a bill
to appoint supervisors of congres

ing board and deciae upon the
votes of South Carolina, Florida,
Mississippi ami Louisiana. And
yet he is not happy, because his
devilish ingenuity is at a loss how
to reach Blackburn and Kentucky.
Localities and men are all the same

HOlSK SERVANTS NORTH AND SOUTH.
The Macon Telegraph says that
domestic service has steadily de
teriorated in the South, and that an
efficient house servant is a rare
■commodity, each year, if possible,
making a more unfavorable show
ing. The South has depended alto
gether on colored servants, and con
iaet with ‘-tvhite trash” has improv
ed these servants to such an extent
that their companions look upon
them as deserving promotion in
their social status, hence they set
up for themselves, and though they
may not make more money or r< -
ceive as much solid comfort, yet,
"hat they lose in practical good
they make up in glory. A smatter
ing of education unfits the negro
tor just the kind of labor for which
his acquirements fit him, and the
dignity ot labor is not by any man
ner of means appreciated. But m
the North, the housekeepers run
over with complaintsof the thorough
worthlessness of servants, and the
good people of Boston seem willing
to make the experiment of trying
the fire by jumping out of the fry-
3n g pan. They express a willing
ness to give the down-trodden son
°t Ham a trial, and as misery loves
company, the South is anxiously
willing.
Epoch.
The transition from long, linger-
>ug and painful sickness to robust
health marks an ep eh in the life
of the individual. Such a remark
able event is treasured In the mein-
0| y and the agency whereby the
good health has been attained is
gratefully blessed. Hence it is
hat so much is heard in praise of
^-lectric Bitters. So many feel
hey owe their restoration to health,
o the use of the great alterative
onic. If you are troubled with
^ n y disease of kidneys, liver or
onnaeh, of long or short standing

Congress is in session, and the Re
publican party is again in power.
But its working majority in the
house is so small, and the“ outlook
f ir its death sentence at the next
election is so favorable, that its evil
tendencies can be controlled, and
therefore no bad results of a serious
nature need be apprehended. The
house was organized by Ihe election
| of Mr. Reed, of Maine, as speaker,
anil all the oifieers are Republicans
except the chaplain, Dr. Milhurn,
the blind preacher, who was the
nominee of the Democrats, and by
the aid ot three Republican votes,
the slate of the party was broken
only in the choice of a chaplain.
The administration and its back
ers are fully aware lhat death is
staring them in the face, and as the
chances are very Uncertain, they
may lesort to heroic remedies.—
They will therefore not only make
hay while the sun shines, but will
send out all sorts of forlorn hopes,
and the South may expect still to
hear herself called very bad names.
But the mode of warfare Is not fully
agreed on. If conciliation is made
the order of the day, then the South
may expect liberal doses of taffy,
but the chances are that the devil
will be painted very black, and the
South will typify the Republican
devil. The deepest hue of mourn
ing clothes will be the regalia pres
cribed for us, and to use the langu
age of old Parson Brownlow, when
ever we look in the Republican glass
“we will see ourselves as black as
.” But even if we are made to
dance, Foraker and Mahone will
help to make music, and they will
not tire us with lively airs. The
South is all solid even if the Repub
lican party can’t or won’t see it, and
tlie Democrats, though they stum
bled and fell, yet like Banquo’s
ghost they will not down. Cleve
land is only catching his wind, and
is preparing for a rebound which
will again litt him into the White
House. “He is all right,” and the
country “won’t forget it.”
NEW ENGLAND IS DESPERATE.
“Curses like chickens come home
to roost.” New England unloaded
her slaves, when she lound them
unprofitable, ou the South. At that
time, our vast territory had not been
opened up, and the population of

COLORED APPOINTMENTS ARE
T11K GOVERNMENT.
WORRYING
The appointmeut of the negro to
office meets with opposition every
where, and has proven ihe apple of
discord wherever he is sent. He
knows that he is no where aceepti-
ble, and he finds wherever he
thrust himself that only cold shoul
ders are turned towards him; and
yet he is willing to receive any
number of slights and the hardest
sorts of rebuffs, just for the sake of
getting office.
The appointment of Frederick
Douglass has been productive of
only troublesome entanglement,
and has in no shape or form given
satisfaction. In the beginning lie
was the cause of trouble on the
man-of-war in which he sailed, the
commander being displaced be
cause he refused to extend the
civilities usually accorded to a
guest. Now that he has reached
Hayti, that government is disgrun
tled because a representative was
sent who did not occupy any soch.l
position at home. The people
>t Hayti are negroes,* and are
oeculiarly sensitive on this account.
They hold that minister should
represent what is conceded to be
the best element of his country.
They know lhat the negro has no
social position in this country, ar d
therefore they are not satisfied
with Fred Douglass, and Secretary
Blaine is worried, and his negotia
tions with Hayti are now really
carried on through a naval officer
in those waters.
Again John H. Deveaux is made
collector of the Port of Brunswick.
In order that he might get this ap
pointment so as not to be on the
slate for office at Savannah, sever
al gentleman from Savannah gave
him a recommendation. It turns
out that the citizens of Brunswick
are almost in arms against this ap
pointment, and a committee of
white Republicans have gone to
Washington to enter a solemn pre
test. The government in order to
relieve itself from the embarrassing
position, proposed to change De
veaux to Savannah, but Mr. T. F.
Johnson, who runs the Republican
patronage in that city, wires to
Washington that Deveaux should
not be sent to Savannah as his com
ing there in an official capacity
would create great dissatisfaction
and would make it such an uphill
business as would even scare off
his own bondsmen from going on
his bond. What shall be done with
the colored brother, is as much a
disturbing issue at Washington, as
is the race problem at the South.
Shiloh’s Catarrh Remedy-a positive cure
for catarrh, dyptheria and canker-mouth,
Sold by Whitehead * Co,
the Eastern states were satisfied to i
remain at home. But since then ai
change has come, and the people of \
New England find it to their inter- j
ests to seek homes in other loeali-,
ties. As a consequence, many an
acre of land is without a tenant,
and even emigrants prefer to go in
other directions. In order to avoid
this sure process of depopulation,
she is trying to get back as citizens
those people that she sold as slaves.
Though the South paid big money
for these New England slaves, and
this very money went a long way
towards building up those states,
yet she is perfectly willing to return
all of their progeny, provided only
money enough is raised to pay their
travelling expenses. Sambo has
thrived and multiplied under the so
called bad treatment of the South,
and at present the crop of darkies is
very large. The supply at the South
is redundant, and New England is
welcome to as many as will go to
her. Some big hearted southerner
proposes to fill that entire section
so full of negroes that it will look
like a blackberry patch in July. In
the meantime let it not be forgotten
that this call for colored people does i
not emanate from any love or even
preference, but only as a matter ofl
necessity of last resort. The lands
in many places have become ex
hausted; the bleak, rocky hillsides,
have lost their fertility and even
under yankee thrift, and close-cut
ting economy, they cannot be made
productive. They have been mort
gaged to land loan agencies, and
virtually- abandoned, and these
agencies after casting their inquir
ing glances over the whole earth in
search of victims, have in a fit of
despeiation lighted on the negro—
‘other refuge have they none.” In
t le South, owing to its warm, genial
climate, it costs almost nothing to
keep the body and soul of old cuff
together. Nature has been kind to
this section, and many articles of
food are almost of spontaneous
growth. But in barren, bleak New
England, the laborer has literally
to earn his living by the sweat of
his brow, and the long winter
months require an abundance of
warm clothing. Then there can be
no camping out houses, such as give
in the South all the necessary pro
tection and shelter to the negro.
Therefore if our Yankee brethren
succeeds in entrapping the negro,
if they do not succeed in freezing
him out, in a few years they too
will have a negro problem to solve,
but that problem will be discussed
by those who have in charge the
prisons and poor houses. Instead
thereof a missionary and education
al fund for the South, they will
realize literally that that sort of
charity must begin at home, and
right at their door steps will he
heard a cry for help, in which there
will he found neither poetry or
sentiment, but a need of such an
urgent, pressing character, as will
force the downward direction of
fested fingers into their pockets.

will give immediate relief. Price 10 cts., 50

est claim to patronage. I was the first and only house in this city to announce that
No Shoddy Goods Would be Kept !
I have kept that promise. In all the Shoes I sell, certainly some may have failed to give
satisfaction. It would be astonishing if it were otherwise. I have never failed to make all
claims of such kind good! I enjoy no monopoly in buying good SHOES; ot her dealers can
buy them, if they will. The difference is this—Some dealers want the profit, and don't care
what they sell so the profit is made. I also like a fair profit on my goods: but I also have
some pride in my business. I take pleasure in selling only good shoes. I would rather have
the credit of keeping the best shoes than that very doubtful honor of selling the cheapest.
The Hest is Always Cheapest!
I keep the best. Another fact I wish to call attention to,
fjfiT I EMPLOY NO DRUMMERS.
I urge ever} - one coming to the city to beware of these leeches. The city abounds in
White and black drummers for shoe houses. I pay no percentage to drummers. The cus
