THE I.AFA v ' K<l . ,t L >r * LAFAYETTE. OA.M.Mtni 21, 1881 ASS'SSI NATION. On ll o 13th of Mnrdt nt, 11 o'clock. A. M., Alexander 11, Cz -t nf Russia, was assassinated in St. Petersburg, by the Nihllits. Tloir work was dime fearlessly m.l «(Tictually. Ah lie was driving along in a covered carriage, followed liy u guard of Cossacks, n gln-s bomb, filled with nitrrt-glyccTi n»*. was thrown tinder I lie enrrinpe. Tnu explosion did no damage beyond tenting off the back of the carriage. Ax tho driver drew up the (V.»r stepped out, nnd a second I Him b was thrown, which exploded nt bin feet. It did the work of death. It sliatterrcd the left log, blowing off the foot and ankle, and almost tear ing the right leg Irani the body. He died at 5:30 P. M., aped 63, and ruler over 85,00f).000 of people. Hip son becomes bis successor under tho title of Alexander 111. m ~ Congressional Notes. Secretary .lames O. lllaino, lias ap pointed his son, Walker Blaine, his pri- i vatc Sect. The Democratic caucus on tho 15lh inst., agreed upon the appointment of rouimiitecs in the next 11. S., Senate. Under this agreement, Senator Joseph K. Brotrn sill be chairman of tho e< m mitiec on Education and Labor. Senator 11. 11. Hi.l. chairman of the committee j on Public Printing. Stanley Nephews on tho 15ih inst.. was nominated by the President, as As- ! sociate Justice nf the U. S. Supreme Court. On the sanio (by the President nUo nominated 1). A. Pardee of 1,n., as Ciruit Judge of the fifth Judicial Cir cuit, and John W. Powell of 111., as di rector of the U. S- Geological Sutvcy. Senator Hill of Ga., on the Mth, inst. created very great sensation in the Senale chamber. Mr. ILII'h bit tor remarks on this occasion forced Mr. Ma hone to define himself politically. Annexed is a portion of Mr. Hill’s speech to which Senator Mahone took exception : -*“Mr. President I will not blume you if you vote, and vote according to the sentiment that elected you; according to the principles which yon avowed when elected.” In speaking of Senators vo-| tin against the sentiment of tho people that elected them, evidently meaning Mahone, Mr Hill continued and said : ’■Who is that one who is ambitious to . ill jsfiiH no man in tho history of this : eounirylias ever done? I stand upon! this high presence, and proclaim from this proud eminence that he disgraces j the commission ho holds. Whoisis it ? t Who can it be? Addressing the Re publicans Mr. Hill said; “Do you re ceive him with affection? Do you re ueive him with respect? lssutli a man worthy your association? Such a man is not worthy to be a Democrat. Is lie worthy to bu a Rebubliean?” After Mr. Hill had concluded Mr. Mahone took the floor and openly declared that he would act with the Republicans. This makes the vote in the Senate 38 to 38. Senators MoDill of lows, and Camci di of Wisconsin have been swortT -ti. A resolution extending condolence to tho government an I people of Russia at ; the assassination of llie Into Emperor, Alexander H, was adopted in (ho IJ I S. Senate on Tuesday the 15th inst. It is rumored in Washington City, j that LeDuc, the present commission of i Agriculture wilt continue in oflico unde; the new administration. Dr. Felton of Georgia has been spoken of in this con- j nection in the event of a change in this ' office. There is not a colored man in the new Cabinet, and the new administration is I not favoring the colored men in the dis tribution of the various offices at its hands. On the day of tho Inauguration of President Garfield, a Kentucky gentle man, amid tjjc huzzars aod confusion liallcred hip rah for Hancock! Police men tried to arrest tho Kentuckian, hut after two or three of tho former had been knocked down, tho latter retired, and squad of soldiers made the arrest. It is believed now (hat there will not ho an extra session of Congress. All the legislation actually necessary was done by the last Congress, nnd unless some unknown emergency calls the pres ent Congress together, there will be no more national legislation in this country until December next. Coseessk.r, Sorrell & Anderson, of Summervile, wish to announce to the public that thev will pay all charges on Watches sent to them from any Post Office, and gourantec a safe delivery for anv work sent by the mail carrier. We guarantee for 12 months. We can reccomend them to the public as competent workmen. 3-3; Gmo.

To the Voters of Wilson, I seo from a mil ice liy the Ordi- I nary that there is to lie. an election ;in Wilson’s District to decide 1 whether there shall be liquor traffic jin that district or not. As 1 have j been a citizen of Wilson’s District, j and have many friends there, I ! want to say a few words to the voters on this important question. It seems to me tho time has come when everybody can see the evils of intemperance, and take steps to drive tho use of liquor out of the laud. There lias been a great deal said on the evils of intemperance; ! b.it the half has not yet been told. Think of tins seriously before you cast your ballot. Think that your vote in this case may save some person from n drunkard’s grave, or that it may cause some one to be put there. If you want to sell liquor, vote for restriction. If you want to make it, vote for restriction. If you want to drink it, vote for restriction, berfuise you are in the most danger of being overtaken by the tempter. Just think of the crime in tho upper corner of Mur ray county. The other day a man killed another at a still house. A very good man in this county, nnd a member of the Baptist church, got drunk, lie said l;o only took one dram. Think of that! Only one dram to make a man drunk. I saw a man yesterday who said he had not drank any liquor in a long time; hut there was to he a very important trial at Subligna. He went and got drunk, and did not hear the trial. Vote for restriction and move this dram drinking out jof the country. Some men say I do not want to vote away my liber ! ty. Poor liberty that will take away a man’s senses and bis strength and place him in the power of everybody. Mothers, ask your sons to vote for restriction. Wives, ask your husbands to vote for re striction. Girls, ask your sweet hearts to vote for restriction. Ladies would it not ho well for you to go to the election and electioneer for r«s notion? It is of more import ance than any election we have had. Now is the time to strike. This is no child’s play. Every man, woman and child is interested in it. I have known somo very good men that would not go very far to get whisky; but would get drunk at these dram shops. Borne men think it would he better to let everybody make whisky and drink it and there would be less drnnken nes\ My plan is not to make any, I not to sell any, and he sure anil not Vo drink any. Just, think of our law-making power, the wisest and I best men we have, enacting laws authorizing the traffic in this j poison. Now, let everybody rise up en masse; let there be no division Let everybody .unite and put this traffic out of '.he country. It is one of the greatest curses the people have to contend tilth. I see an account that in one of the old ountii .-i in Georgia, where a pn acl.i i had to dismiss the congre gation oil account nf the niisbe t avior of some young men.

I | am a little like Young Farmer, I j shrink from so much work, and in- ! cline to the opinion that this worthy correspondent lifts been ex- j pcrinicnling with land that is not suitable for cotton as land encum- j hired with a very apochryplinl j crop prospect. The truth is, differ- I cut kinds of soil require somewhat j different management, and the in- j telligent reader by the use of n little conservatism, may profit by i reading after each of your learned and worthy correspondents. But all the correspondents have ex pended their wisdom cn hew to i plant and raise cotton. Not one : has told how to make it open. It | is easy enough to lead a horse to water, but who can make him drink? .So, it is comparatively easy to plant, nnd raise cotton, but how do you make it open? Surely j this is an important matter, and I j nst so surely has it been overlooked by the cotton grannies. I beg to i venture an idea scl'lly, that cotton plnntiil.on land having an abun- j dance of vegetable matter in it, | such as fresh land, may be made to j open by barring it off about four | inches from the row with a small j turning plow, about the time it begins or should begin to tv—',uie. It checks growib, warms the roots, i and hastens maturity. Auixis. C » Those Nice Beam ami Trout. Wo call attention to the new I advertisement of Veal & Son, j (Fishing Tackle for the season.)
