THE REBELS IN THE SADDLE
A Nation's Humiliation—Confederates to bo
Pensioned.
As time advances all the predictions republican
of the republican press and
speakers relative t.<> the disasters to be¬
fall the country in ease of democratic
success are being realized.—Chicago
Tribune (ltep.)
Alas! this is too true. As time rolls
on the predictions of Republican
speakers and the Republican press
relative to the dreadful calamities
that were to befall the country, in
case of Democratic success, are bc
ing fully realized.—Already, we are
witnessing the humiliating specta¬
cle of seeing all our ‘"loyal” minis¬
ters recalled from foreign countries
and their places filled with rebels,
some of whose hands are yet red
with blood of Union Soldiers. The
object of this move is to induce for¬
eign countries to recognize the
Southern Confederacy. This ac¬
complished, the New England states
are to be held as conquered provin¬
ces, and Southern nabobs are to be
appointed to rule over them, as the
“loyal ’ carpet-baggers lulled over
the South. This is to be done as a
retaliatory measure for imaginary
wrongs done the South by these car
pet-baggers. These slates are to be
forced to pay all damages result¬
ing from tbe freedom of the slaves
and the property’ stolen in the Soutli
by the said carpet-baggers. A care¬
ful record lias been kept of all the
pianoes, silver-ware, watches, jewel¬
ry—including finger-rings, sacred
mementoes, forcibly taken from the
fingers ol old und young ladies—hams
hay, corn, und everything else, even
down to the smallest dung hill chick
en taken by these “loyal” patriots
and saints. The “niggers” that
were killed in the war and those that
have died since, are included in this
bill of charges.
Loyal Republicans are beingkick
our of the post offices, departments
at Washington and other lat places,
and their places supplied with rebel
Democrats.
A move is on foot at Wasihngton
to take all the Union soldiers oft' the
pension rolls and give the pensions
to rebel soldiers. Orders have been
issued to the Marine Band to discon¬
tinue the stirring old national air:
The Star Spangle Banner,
Long may it wave,
O'er the land of the free,
And the home of the brave.
and substitute
“In Dixie’s land I’ll take my stand,
And live and die in Dixie.”
The poor rcb has had a hard time
of it those long years, and provinder
lias been mighty dry, and not much
of it at that. But the years of fam¬
ine are over, and the day of jubilee
lias come. The season of plenty is
at hand. The rebs are now in glory.
The fatted calf has been slaughtered
for tlrnir especial benefit. Union
sojdicrs must stand aside while the
rebels march to the front, singing as
they go:
“I am a good old rebel,
Now that’s just what I am,
And for the starry banner,
I do not eare a dam.”
The American flag is to be taken
from the dome of the National Capi¬
tol and the Rebel ling substituted.
The rebel debt is to he paid in full
with interest, and the negroes are all
to be put back into slavery. Sol¬
diers homes are to be erected all
over the Soutli, at the expense of
the Government, for disabled rebel
soldiers. President Cleveland has
ordered a rebel uniform which he
will wear on reception days.
Manufacturing establishments are
all being shut down. Confederate
bonds are to be substituted for Uni
ted’States bonds, and all the gold and
silver bullions is to bo melted up,
the former to be made into jewelry,
watcher, &c., For Southern ladies and
gentlemen, and the latter into silver
ware to decorate the tables of South
ern nabobs. The circulating medi
urn is to he exclusively Confederate
money, which already commands a
premium over silver and gold. other
All these things and many
humiliating spectacles, predicted Republi¬ by
Republican speakers and
can editors, will be witnessed under
Democratic rule. In fact the coun¬
try is going to the devil, and by the
time Cleveland’s term of office ex¬
pires the White House will be turned
into a bar room, the streets of Wash¬
ington will be knee high in dog-fen¬
nel—there will uot he money enough
in the treasury to buy a pound of
bologna sausages, and the American
eagle will be so disgusted that it
will deny that it ever was the em¬
blem of this once proud but now hu¬
miliated country.
To avert all these disasters to our
belovd country let all good Christians
pray. Load in prayer, Brother
Medill.—Sauk County (Wis.)Demo

Jackson county now has restric¬
tion from the saie of liquor by the
drink, and it is sold only by the
quart. Two or three petitions are
are now in the ordinary’s offiee, call¬
ing for a contest to prohibit the sale
altogether in the county.
Hogs are dying of cholera in
JYorth county.
The largest sea turtle on record
was ea iittired ofl the coast near San
Francisco last week It was 9 feet
mound the girth and weighted 1,700
pounds.
It is now estimated that 1,000
acres of land, in Georgia, will be cul

The Hill monument at Atlanta
will probably be unveiled April 10.
The affair will probably be made ore
in which the whole State will be rep
resented.
A New York dealer has been
shipping sealed packages of
liquor to Vermont. On visiting
that state, lie was arrested for selling
liquor, it being that the sale was
perfected at the point of of delivery.
He has forty-nine years of sentences
against him, but has carried his

Court.
A fashion paper says the bustle is
coining to the front again, more all
rapidly than ever. This is
wrong. The bustle ought to be
kept in place where it belongs.
When it comes to the front it is apt
to create talk.
Every town the size of Covington
ought to have a house of correction
for young criminals.—Covington
Star. Follow the advice of Solomon
and have the children corrected be

The Thompson Journal says the
present fashion among the girls,
combing their liairup the back of
•the head, is carried to such an ex¬
tent by some of the girls of Thomp¬
son that it makes them hump shoul¬
dered every time they blink their
eyes.
General W. S. Hancock, of the
United States army, died at Gover¬
nor’s Island, N. Y.,’ of a malignant
carbuncle, last Tuesday evening- He
was the Democratic candidate for
President ngaint General Garfield.
He was a aurporb soldier, and a
Christian gentleman. The whole
country will regret his death.
The sale of the Foster Blodgett
lot at Atlanta Tuesday 25 feet front
on Decatur street, at $7,765 to Sen¬
ator Joseph E. Brown, is generally
regarded us a good stile. Paying
310.50 per front foot, by as held astute be a
man as Senator Brown, is to
a conclusive argument in favor of
Atlanta real estate, and complo rofu
tal of the charge of its depreciation.
One of tbe brethren, who had a
habit of moaning out “Oh, y-c-s?”
at regular intervals during the ser¬
vice, was napping and waked up just
as the preacher asked the solemn
question, “Brother, do you intend to
spend eternity in hell?” “Oh,y e s?”
sang out the pious brother.
In a sermon at Nashville Thurs¬
day Mr. Moody paid an indirect
tribute to his co-laborer, Mr. Sank
cy. lie said: “Music should be
about half of our worship. Charles
Wesley did as much to reform the
world'ns John. It is just as im¬
portant to carry the word of truth
on the wings of song as in ser¬
mons.”
Eugene Speer, the Washington
correspondent of the Atlanta Capi¬
tol, has been impressed by Gen. Lo
gau. lie writes: “No statesman of
the period has more ordacity and
bounce than John Alexander Logan.
To see him lay off his jacket, handker nour¬
ish his resplendent pocket
chif and skip into the debate with a
sort of prarie whoop, is worth going
a long way to see. It’s a kind of
thing that can’t be accurately de¬
scribed, for it baffles tho vocabla
ry.”
It is said that a girl out in Mis¬
souri is gradually petrifying. • The
tips of her fingers, toes and ears have
turned to stone. It is to be pre¬
sumed that her tongue will be the
last member to lose its elasticity or
wagging powers.
The Oartersville dynamiters tried are
out on bail. They will be in
April.
A large number of negroes are
moving to Athens to take advantage
of the free schools.
Four cows have lately been killed
on account of hydrophobia on Mr.
Nixon’s place, near Rome.
Labor is very cheap in Athens. A
good hand will work by the day for
twenty-five cents, and $50 a year with
rations.
“A man never looses anything by
politeness.” At all events there are
a great many men who never do and
never intend to.
The people | of , Hampton IT . , have de- ,
cided to have a newspaner, and the
services of Rev. N. N. Edge, <»f Can
ton, have been secured to edit it.
It is strange but true that of the
alphabet, seven letters are always in
trouble and four in luek.
The Boston Courier says: The
man who edits the only paper in a
country town leads a dull ami mo
notorious existence. There is no
writhing, crawling, detestible and
mendacious contemporary at whom
to hurl the thunderbolts of dcnunci
ation ; no bald headed baboon whose
frothy ravings and outlandish gib¬
berish he can hold up to popular
ridicule; no slimy reptile, wallowing
in the filth that gave it birth, of
which lie can bid his esteemed fel¬
low citizens beware. Beyond necessarially an oc
casional criticism, field
mild, on the appointment of a
driver or a fence viewer, his columns
are free from the fire that sometimes
glows at white heat in the pages of
the local journal. He is everbody’s
friend, and pursues the even tenor
of his way, with few anxieties ex
cepting those that are created by
delinquent subscribers,
The discovery has been made that
the world doesn’t revolve with the
same momentum it did a thousand
years ago, but it still swings around
fast enough to satisfy the man with
a heavy note coining due.
The Elbcrton Ledger, speaking of
wonderful tenacity to life, recalls
the facts of an attempted suicide in
that town a number of years ago.
An athletic mechanic, in a frenzy
of despondency, plunged a knife
twice into his heart, but strange to
say, recovered, and afterwards, died
of pnuemonia. The heart was ta¬
ken from the dead body and sent to
the late Dr. L A. Dugas, of Augusta
and was a most remarkable patho¬
logical specimen.
It appears, by official record on
December 18th, that the President
had removed 643 officials, divided
among the departments at follows:
Slate, 80; treasury, 160; postoffice,
255; interior, 75; department ofjtis
tice, 61. As there are about 4,000
offices filled by presidential observed that appoint the

President has not removed one in
six. In short, the number of cliang

ly been made under anew President
of the same party as his predeces¬
sor.
