“JUST A tPEW WORDS ”
Just a few words, but they blinded

The following we find in the Washing*

The Post Office appropriation bill; now
pending n the House, exhibits a signa
vindication of what Democratic control
will arc mplish for the people; The es
timale of the Post Office department was
three million dollars in excess of the re*
port of the committee, and although po.s
tel service is, in the nature of things,
contimial’y expanding, the budget fm
this year is nearly one million dollars less
than^laSi year.
General Blount, who, as chairman ol
the 8ubscommitteo, had charge of this
branch of the service, devoted momhh to
a thorough investigation b. fore be com

knowledge of the subject, so far as it
could bd acquired In the limited lime
which a single session affords, and b\
his efforts the sum 'of robberies in tb<

incoming year about tv lve hlfndred and
fifty thousand dollars. It will be but a
little while before the fools tn high places
in that Department will be retired to
rural retreats, and the thieves will hllv
the Opportunity to speculate on the fact
that their misd »’ngs are the subj ct of

He eauie our office,*and after pay
ing his subscription, said :
‘ I guess you can stop sending my pa¬
per ; I’ve just subscribed for a paper I
n<A(i more.”
“lust So’, we retorted.
He pulled a paper from his pocket and
handed it to us for insuection.—-It was a
Philadelphia publication, being neh'.ly
printed, ornamented with' a handsomely
engraved head, and containing ai'out
f /j-ty-bightjCdltiniTis of reading matter.
“A very fair looking paper.’ said we.
‘But, rny dear sir, do you find much
uews concerning our county in it ?'
‘‘No, he didn’t know that he had
found any.’
“Do you find anything abotit our
slate f’
“No, he nevei* did.’’
And yet he needed that sheet much
more than he did his county paper.

In 1869 the Republicans had a m&jofi
ty ot forty*two in the Senate a‘»d eight)*
six in the House. They have a majority
ot two in the Senate to~day and are ih a
minority in the House; with the perfect
efeftainty that th6 Democrats will hold
the Senate in 1879 by ten majorit. and
the probability that thei e will be a Derm*
oeratie House. Now, is it not singular
that a party which claims to be the ‘‘par¬
ty of the people,” the party ot the pro¬
gress, humanity <1nd every godly virtue,
with possession of all the offices, should
have been forced Off the stage in
unceretho|K>us wky ? The Republican
party ot the great American people, who,
with all the pressure Of vice introduced
by Republicanism, are far too honest to
be caught hugging a “'Scarlet Woman.’

Late Yesterday afternoon whilst Mr.

in a chair in his Store, situated on the
corner of Habersham and Jones street
lane, two negro men entered, and with
out a remark one immediately caught
hold of him, pin oning his ami 3 behind
him, whilst the other made a dash for the
till. Mrs. Asendori resisted th 3 villian
who had hold of him so vigorous'v that
his confederate was compelled to come to
his assistance,
A knife was then drawn by one of the
rascals and an attempt made to stab Mr.
Asendorf, who, however proved si thatch
for them, and before they could infl ct an

diately fled; '
