The Pclitical Cutlook as Seen by Prominent Men. CONKLING A PROBABLE CANDIDATE. Bai.timocf, M<l., November 29.—The Sun has a special from Washington, in which Sen ator A. P. Gorman ■■ i..b s p< itivcly that a tariff reform bill will be passed by the incom ing emigre, s, which will cut off certain customs duties and provide for a reduction in the inter nal revenue tax. lie advises Mr. Carlisle to decline the speakership and take the chair manship of the committee on ways and means, as leader of the democratic forces on the lioor, a leader being sadly needed. He says Mr. Carlisle is entirely indifferent on the subject, and has made no canvass for the speakership, though he is certain of the nomination. Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, is recommended for the speakership. Gives His Reasons. Washington, November 29, —Hon. C. T?. Brc<kenrid ;e in a letter to Captain Samuel Donelson, door-keeper of the house of repre sentatives, announces that he cannot support the latter’s candidacy for re-election, because of charges alleging that ho keeps employes on tiio pay rolls who do not work and have no substitutes; that he borrows money from sub ordinates, or the friends of those he appoints, and fails to return it; that he has not turned into the treasury money received from the sale of waste paper, and, that ho has the reputation of being a gambler and dissolute man. Tn aletb r replying totheso charges, Captain Donclson denies all except tho those relating to the waste paper sales and his private repu tation. He declares himself ready to turn in tho waste paper money as soon as a congres sional committee examines his accounts, and says his oflicial position prevents his properly answt ring the allegations against his personal character. The Greatest of all is Conkling. Bne.iiftGH\M. Al ... November.o.—[Special.] I b n. NVilliaui Y< mi blood, of this city, will h ave in a few days for Washington to attend the meeting ol tho national republican execu tive committee, of which he, is a member. He was seen today by your correspondent, and, in reply Io a question, said: "1 think the national convention will bo held eithi rin ( Imago or New York. Blaine’s friends proler Chicago, but New York is the banlol'u-Id, and 1 am in favor of opening the campaign there.” “Wili Blaine bo renominated?” “I can't say, but I don't think he can.” “He cannot carry New York, and without that slate ho cannot be elected. Ho cannot scute the votes of tho southern delegates to the convention again. A majority of them, I think, will lie div ided between Snerman and ILiwley. Blaine's friends claim that ho can carry- New Y ork m xtyear, but I think Cleve land is stronger in that state than ho was in les|. Our best chance of success, I think, will be to place a New York man at the Lead of tho tick' I.” “Who is your choice?” “ Wei), Conkling, Evarts; Hiscock and Levi P. Mort, a are all good timber,but the greatest of all is Conkling. I think him the greatest statesman in the country, and 1 believe ho could lead the party to’ certain victory. I think our party leaders realize that the next fight must bo made in New York, and that state must name tho man for first or second place on tho ticket.” Mr. Youngblood thinks Sherman stands little or no chain e. of the nomination, and that tho contest will be b< tween Blaine and a New York man. with Hawley a good third. Ho said: “Cleveland will be renominated by the dem ocrats. and the question for our convention to determine is. who can beat him in New York? I think we will select Now York ns tho place for holding the convention, and let tho light open th re, ci on if a man from that state is not placed at the head of the ticket. If Blaine or a New York man is nominated for president, the west will name tiio man for second place, and 1 think lug.ills one of the best men men tioned.” The Political Outlook ni Seen by Prominent Mon. Washington, November 30.—The Post, to morrow, will print a series of interviews with nearly a hundred members of congress upon nuestions which are likely to be presented to that body for its action during tho coming session, and particularly those relating totho taritf, reduction of the surplus revenue, and the postal telegraph. The Post will summarize the interviews as follows: “Sp aker Carlisle states the democratic posi- I tion, with great clearness. His views are espei .a'ly important in view of tho great ro sp.msibility w hich will be placed upon his shoulders with the organization of the house. Ho believes in an immediate reduction of the surplus revenues now pouring into the treasury. Hi believes in reducing the taxes which produce these revenues, at least, seventy millions of dollars annual ly. His democratic followers, who voted with Mr. Morrison in the last congress, generally take the same position. Os tho few democrats who have sided with Mr. Kaudall, I who arc now in tho city, Messrs. McAdoo, i New .hi - }. St ihlnci lur. New Yoi k . \Vil- I kins, Ohio: Meniman, New York, and Law ler, Illinois, are quoted ns experiencing a somewhat change ol heart. The sentiment of northwestern congressmen is that the free trade sentiment is growing in that section. Bemoi'ratie ropiest ut.itiv.s from Minnesota and Michigan have tho highest confidence that their two states can bo made democratic on the revenue reform issue. Lyman,of Ohio, a republican, although lie acknowledges that lie is a protectionist, comes out for a reduction I ot revenue. Many other republicans like Hy i man agree that something must l-o done with the taritf, tho gh a few, like Sawyer and Ba con, Now York, ami Jm-kson, Pennsylva nia, think th it nothin:; will bo done ut this 1 session. Many ways ot reducing the surplus ; lire suggest'd, t.iuiie a number of congress ; mon, including C.itching-, of Mississippi; ; Shively, ol Indiana . T aulbee and t'aruth. of : Iventu. ky. and .Abbott, of Texas, fa\<ra eoin- I piomi .e, such as t.ikm.; tl.e tax off trdsiceo, ami prefer n dueing tho tax on fruit brandies. | The propositi, n to take tile tax off whisky : hardly finds a supporter. Tho question of putting stu ar < n the free list tinds some advo | i .ites, but mainly among republicans. Louis ian.i congressmen, to whom this is a very v ital ' question, say their state is divided. tho north i eru portion being in favor of free sugar and l the gulf section opposed to it. Democratic I sentiment is largely m favor of increasing tho , free list, adding to it salt, lumber and the i necessities ot lite. i Representative Bynum, of Indiana, thinks I that a goou bill to reduce the tariff can be pass ed w ithout the support of Randall, and lie adds that republicans ot the west and northwest are U’ginning to fc-l that they cannot longer o]>- : pose such a measure with political safety. Representative Turner, of Kansas, comes for ward with a new proposition to subsidi e ex ported grains. Quite a number of congress men favor n democraticcaueus before the tariff matter comes up in tho bouse. Views on the }a>stal telegraph me l«>tli generous and inter esting. I alike tho tariff, it is not a party question. Representatives who favor it are quite numerous. All of the congressmen, however, with one or two exceptions, such as Taulbee, of Kentucky, agree that strong pres sure will be made to bring tho matter before the present congress, mid they seem willing to devote some time to a thorough discussion of it. Not n single doubt is expressed by either democrats or rcmiblieaus. as to tho renomiua t on of I'rvsidont Cleveland, and democrats nre certain of his election. The unanimous sentiment is that the democratic candidate for vice president must come from the west. Republican col.pressmen usually favor Blaine, although Ohio represeutatives mention Sher man as very likely to be the choice of the par.y.” I'at-i'-k AA alsh.of Augil’ta, Georgia, stopped ov ci hi re a few hours y < sterday while enroute to N<w York, mid u reporter for an evening paper had a brief interview with him upon ]H>li'will question- Mr. Walsh said: “In the south th. re s but one opinion of Mr. Clove.and. ami t nhe -a pr. si,let.t of the people and ade ~, u 11 i< renomination is a tor, gone wneiesioi.. It is inevitable.” "Wi .u a! the tsXUis : “It will lie IK't over a-; «, again. In other w. ids, the A I i. ago rm will be ad. ; That .ditfor-n cart the dciuo- cratic party on to victory, ft expresses tho tariff prim ip'. , tparty,"and furthermore, it wad accepted by the two w ings, tin t, 1 am I b :;":d to say, bopped in harmony < n the same platform. Wo must stop the surplus and reform the tariff, but whatever reforms are inaugurated, we must bear in mind that protection is necessary for the welfare of the American working man. I believe a tariff bill will pass, and it will bo acceptable to tho people. In the south wo vv.-nit the lax taken off of tobacco, excepting cigars ami cigarettes. Then we want Spirits distilled from fruits relieved of any internal revenue tax.” Mr. Walsh said, discussing the the vice-pres idency: “No, the south doesn’t want it. We want a man acceptable to the. party, and I will say this: That if the Indiana delegation present a man to the convention you may rest assured that the name will complete the ticket. There is no doubt in my mind but that Indiana will furnish tho vice-president, but who he will be I am uuable to say.” Senators in Caucus Washington, December 3.-A fully attended caucus of democratic senators convened at 12 o’clock to hear the final report of its committee appointed to outline the policy of plan of action w ith regard to the admission of the new democratic senators, against whose title some question has been raised. Tho committee, consisting of .Senators I'ligh, Blackburn, Har ris and A est, reported that it had carefully considered all tho facts in tho cases of Sena tors Turplc, ot Indiana: Fulkner, of AVest Vir ginia, and nil other new democratic senators, and bad reached the conclusion that all were fully entitled to their seats. Nothing beyond this was determined upon in connection with tho matter, it being the unanimous opinion of the caucus that no de parture from the precedent should be made and that no obstacle to the admission of all the senators elect should bo anticipated. |Tho committee also reported that it has examined all tho credentials of the republican senators elect and found several upon which objections could legitimately be based. Tho facts wero laid before tho caucus and discussed, but as the defects are merely technical, it was deter mined to make no objections' unless objections were made by tho repub licans to tho admission of the demo crats. An understanding was reached, how ever, that should the admisson of any demo crat be objected to, tho party would act as a unit according as circumstances seem to re quire. The tone of speakers tn the caucus was firm, without being belligerent. Republican members of tho house of repre sentative held their first caucus of the session this afternoon. Os the republican representa tion of 153, 117 members were in attendance. None of tho four independent mombers-elcct were present. J. G. Cannon, of Illinois, and Louis Mac Comas, of Maryland, were respect ively re-elected to tho positions which they hold during the last congress, chairman and secretary of tho caucus. When these prelim inaries had been arranged, Mr. MacKinloy, of Ohio, nominated Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, for speaker, and tho nomination was confirmed by acclamation. Mr. Reed made a brief speech, in which he counseled party harmony and pre dicted a republican victory in the next presi dential election. Nominations for the remain ing officers ol tho next house were then mado as follows: Edward McPherson, of Pennsylvania, for clerk; Daniel Shepperd, of Illinois, sergeant at-arms; AV. T. Fitch, of Ohio, doorkeeper; Charles 11. Grey, of Dakota, postmaster; Fran cis W. Thomas, of Indiana, chaplain. A DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS. Washington, December 2.—A caucus of democratic senators was held today-, to which an informal report of the caucus committee was submitted respecting tho admission of Sen ators Turpie, of Indiana, and Faulkner, of West Virginia. The matter was discussed at considerable length, but as severed members of the caucus were absent no lino of action was sketched, and further discussion of the subject was put over to tomorrow at twelve o'clock, to which hour the caucus adjourned. The caucus is confronted with doubt as to what course the republicans propose to pursue, and tho com mitteo will in tho inenntiine attempt to see if anything can be learned on the subject. Mem bers of the democratic caucus say their party is firm in the conviction that the two senators named should be sworn in when the other new senators are, and they are as yet unaware of any purpose on the part of the republicans to prevent it. It cannot be learned that the republicans have considered the subject except as indi viduals, and it is certain that no line of action has been mapped out. The usual course of procedure is to swear in new senators, two at a time, iy the order in which their names stand on the alphabetical list. The two par ties are exactly equal in strength at the start, but with tho administration of the oath to tho first senator on the list—Aldrich—the repub licans will have a majority, and can, of course, control the current of events, if no dilatory proceedings arc resorted to. It is evi dent that tho members of both parties are studying the rules and precedents closely with a view to meeting any attempt by their op ponents to secure an advantage, but without knowing exactly as yet what they are to guard against. The democrats have caused tele grams to bo sent to their absentees summoning them tc be present tomorrow and Monday. The absentees today were Senators George, Hearst, Blodgett, Hampton, Gibson, Colquitt and Saulsbury. Two or three of the number, however, arc already in Washington. Secretary Fairchild has completed the prep aration of Ms annual report to congress, and the final pages of it were placed in the print er's hands today. He lias been engaged on this work almost exclusively for a month past, and tlie business of the treasury department during that time has been ably conducted by A distant Secretary Thompson. The reportis all in the secretary's own handwriting, and gives his views in regard to the surplus and taritf question at considerable length. It will bo made public immediately after its presenta t’on to congress next Wednesday afternoon. Tuo New York democratic’delegation in congress held a meeting tonight and decided to present the name of William G. Raines as a candidate for doorkeeper of the house, at tho democratic caucus to be held tomorrow. Mem bers of congre s wero also present from Massa chusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Tho democratio senatorial caucus did noth ing today except to pass a resolution insisting upon having their five new senators seated. The republicans will interpose objections, but it is likely that all will be seated at first ex cept Turpie and he finally. 11. 11. I’. Mr. Carlisle Thanks His Friends. After Mr. Carlisle’s nomination he was brought into tho hall and acknowledged tho honor shown him in a brief and feeling speech, in tho course of which lie said : 1 need not speak on this occasion of the impor tance of the nppreaeliing session of congress. I think we nil appreciate anil, perhaps, there is not one among us who would not glad y escape, if he could, from the responsibilities which the situation imposes on him, but we cannot escape from them. .As representatives of the people we me sent here to do the v.oik which the interests of the people re quire, and we must do it, or at least make nil honest <■ ill rt to do. With an united, harmonious democratieiiiiijority.it is impossible for us to fail: while without such a majority it is impossible to succeed: or nt least sueie—would I*o ex r, mely doubtlAil. It is. therefore, of the highest inqiortanco ; that wc should reconcile, if possible, all differences t ol opinion amoi g ourselves before engaging In a i contest with the common enemy. If we can agree among ourselves on essential points, we inn well , all'oro, in view of the < ritlt al condition of the coun try. to p>>stiH>nc the discussion ot minor matters un til a more appropriate tunc. Thiscousc.it seems : ' to me. is demanded by the highest Considerations of party cxpedk nc} and rail he v chare. But. Mr. Chairman. 1 did not intend to indulge i in this line of remark, and will not pursue it hir , ti er. We all well know what is expected of us ■ ami I hope you are all prepared to make such cou ; cession* mid compromises as will secure concert of neiioii. ami a tat sine lory settlement of the groat , public questions which will lie presented for our , > Con-iteration. i Nomination for clerk and sergeant-at-arms were then made and tho contest over door keopership began. Tho candidates named I were Donnellson, of Tennessee: Raines, of New York : A B. Hurt, of Mississippi; D. K. ' ' Reeder, of l'< nnsvlvania, and Hou-e, of Mich ! igan. As soon at the’nominations worn closed I , Mr. Breekinridg ’, of Ath.ins.is. began a vig- , ' orous attack on Donnellson, substantially re peating and elaborating what w ~s contained in i ' Ids published Ch iracs against the doorkeeper. I Mr. Taulbee, of Kentucky, defended the door ‘ keeper, as did Mr. Blount, of Georgia. The t , latter was repeatedly interrupted in his re i | marks by Mr. Beekonridge, and finally bo: i I gentlemen lost their tempers’ and ! came together in a threatening man i j net. In the course of a running eo’oqiiv > I leiwc. :> the two g. i.t'.omeu, Mr. Blount re ■ ’ l. rked that Brecksorid.e was Joi coursework ing for “his man.” Mr. Breckenridge indig imn.ly denied that he had “a man,” ,-irl declared that he was a tuated in his a; t n merely by a desire for the good of the demo- I cratic party. Mr. Blount ri iterated his state ment, and Mr. Breckeriridg •, turning towards : him, said with warmth: “The gentleman iinnutes to mo dishonorable motives.” In tho excitement and confusion, Mr. Blount misunderstood the remark, and heliev- i ing that dishonorable motives had been im- | pitted to him, struck his antagonist, who, carried away with the j a. sion of the moment, returned the blow, striking Mr. Blount on the cheek. Before other blows could be passed, the gentlemen were separated and Mr. Breck enridge retired to the cloak room. Circumstances were then explained to Mr. Blount, wfio instantly, upon learning of the misapprehension, under which he had labored, requested that Mr. Breckinridge return to the floor in order that ho might tender to him an apologyforhisaction. Upon Mr.Breckiuridgc's appearance, Mr. Blount apologized and the gentlemen shook hands with great cordiality. After the excitement occasioned by this inci dent had subsided, the merits of the candi dates were set forth. The first ballot stood: Doncllson, 72; Hurt, 53; Heeder, 4; House, 5 andj Raines 22, A second ballot was taken immediately The New York delegation, who had opposed Donellson changed their votes to Hurt and as a result many other changes followed in quick succession so that tho vote stood: Hurt, 88; Donellson, 66; and Reeder, L This elected Hurt and the result was bailed with cheers by his adherents in tho corridors. The conclud ing of the caucus was the selection, by unanimous vote, of Lycuregus Dalton, post master, and YV. H. Milburn, chaplain of tho house and Messrs. Wilson, of West A'irginia, and Blanchard, of Louisiana, acted as secreta ries of the caucus. Catarrh Cured. A clergyman, after years of suffering front that loathsome disease, catarrh, and vainly trying every known remedy, at last found a prescription which completely cured and saved him from death. Any sufferer from thisdread ful disease sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to Prof. J. A. Lawrence, 219 East ‘.'th street. New York, will receive the recipe freo of charge. cow Dow He Picked Up a Possum. From the Sumter, Ga., Republican. When Hooker’s army was worrying General Lee’s half-starved confederates, at Chaneel lorsville, Sedgewick’s corps broke the confed erate lines at Fredericksburg and commenced his travels towards Chancellorsville to help Hooker in crushing Lee. The Monday follow ing, General Early struck Sedgewick a crush ing blow and hurled hint crippled and bleeding across the river at Bank’s ford. When Early's men made the. charge, a negro whoso young master carried a gun in the Mississippi regi ment. was following, to take care of him if he should be wounded. In consequence of the deep ravines, over which Early charged, artil lery could not well follow, and ws were stand ing beside our smoking guns, when the nigger came back, his face in a broad grin, with a gr< at big knapsack, one or two fine blankets, and a big Y'ankco private marching in front of him.

If Not, tho Cause and Remedy. BY I. W. W. From the Fort Gaines Star. Perhaps there has been no subject mere uni versally discussed than this. The great Steph ens, many years ago, declared in the halls of congress that the southern farmer was poorer than at tho close of the war. And since then it has been discussed in every agricultural meeting. If I bad the time and talents to bring out all the facts pertaining to this sub ject, the cause and remedy, it would be a more extensive work than Dr. Clark’s commentary, and then fail to solve tho problem. The sub ject was elaborately and intelligently dis cussed at the agricultural convention. Then there was a convention called, consisting of delegates from all of the southern states, assembled in Atlanta last August, to discuss this subject, and perhaps there never has been a convention that comprised more talent or experience. Governor Gordon gave tho farmers some excellent advice. So did Grady, and said the southern farmer should be proud of what he had accomplished in twenty years commencing at nothing, last year his crops were worth $715,000,000. Grady said he knew less about, farminingthan anyone except Governor Gordon. But this question will never be solved by such talent, nor by fine rhetorical efforts,{but each farmer must solve it for himself. Now, wo will review some of their work. The first resolution reads: ’The cause and remedy. Whereas, it appears, and is really a fact, rfiat great depression exists through the cotton states; and, whereas, we believe it to bo the duty of this convention to ascertain tho cause and find a remedy; therefore bo it resolved : First. We believe the cause tb be twofold. First, undue taxation, and second, raising too much cotton. Plant less cotton is the remedy that has been preached for years. Ido not believe in the theory. Tho southern states can make better cotton than any other country, and make it cheaper, even if India does get labor for ton cents per day. My motto is to plant no less cotton, but to make every acre double the yield of the year before. Get improved implements, make two bales at tho cost of one now, then we will run all other countries out ot the cultivation. Let India make our bag ging and Brazil our coffee. If wo did not make more than two or three million bales, some shrewd Englishman would bo over here getting up southern men to go to India to make cotton for them, as they did in time of the wnr. I will agree there is depression in the cotton states, but too much cotton is not the cause. Double the amount of cotton at the cost of producing tho present crop and the cause would be removed. Improved machinery in the north and west was the cause of Lee’s sur render at Appomattox. Had tho northern agri culturalists had to prepare, plant and harvest as he did before the war, half of Grant's army would have had to remain at home. But with the sulky plow and improved harrows to pre pare the land, distributors to plant the seed, reapers and mowers to gather the grain and hay, then their improved thresh and separa tors to save the grain, whereby one man can do tho work of eight or ten and do it better. You may say that it' we were to double the present crop, there would be no sale for it. Now the Yankee with his ingenuity and econ omy would convert it into something profit able. Make cotton, but make it cheap. Work early and late. Bill Arp says, “a farmer to i succeed must scratch his head at the plow handle before sunrise.” Just so. The western fanner, a few years ago, got $1.50 for his wheat: now he gets about seventy cents, but ho docs not stop making it, but en deavors to make it cheaper. Yes. make cot ton :it is tli« most substantial staple crop 1 known. If yon make a surplus you can lay it ■ away, and it will be in geod preservation when | your grandchildren arise to manhood. Now. I will read the second resolution: “Resolved, that each member wi this con : vention on his return home, use his 1 est efforts I I to gi t farmers to organize, and let oar watch- , i word be, ovr farms shall bo self-sustaining. ' I Our cott- n crop shall bo our surplus.” Now. I this resolution covers nearly tho .whole ground . i as ren.'dy for th' deprv.--ion. Y\ n organize; I ; yes, organ ’el How ?

Take Hoodv Sarsaparilla before it is too late. “1 have been troubled with that annoying di ease, nasal catarrh, and have taken all kinds of blood purifh rs. but never found relief till I used Hood's Sarsaparilla, which I am confident will do all that is claimed.

I know this lias saved me, perhaps hundreds, besides the lives of several valuable mules and horses. ' cs, organize, disseminate knowledge among the farmers, let them read works pertaining to tho profession, then you will sec prosperity in the land. A few years ago I was traveling with a friend, over a part of country 1 had never seen before. I pro posed to point out every farmer who read agricultural bonks and pa pers. We traveled several miles throgh farms that were neglected, fences in a dilapidated condition, bushes and briers growing on cacli side of same, and gates had tho appearance of having passed through a young cyclone. Then we came to a farm quite the reverse. Fences repaired, gates in good order, cattle browsing quietly in the pasture near the house, a trough where tho hogs received their slops, and everything in order. Said I: “Here is one who studies his business.” To decide the question, wo called and asked for water. A nice little girl readily waited on us. I asked her what papers her pa took. She replied, The Atlanta Constitution and Southern Fann. Some contend we are growing poorer every year. Ido not believe it. Ten years ago I came to this county. Then you scarcely ever saw a residence, only a log tabin. Theyjliave been removed, and in their stead are nice white cottages, indicating thrift and prosper ity. No, we are not growing poorer, but if every one would attend our agricultural meet ings and let us unite and co-operate, we could be the controlling power of the world. Agri culture, what a power it is! No nation can be prosperous without it, and a nation is only prosperous according to the prosperity of its agriculture. When Spain was making con quests in Mexico and South America, she con fiscated ship loads of gold. Her agriculture was neglected, she became poor and has never recovered to this day. Now Igo to the second proposition. Let our farmers bo self-sustaining—make their own supplies, their own meat and bread, which every fanner should do. I can raise a pound of pork cheaper than any Indiana farmer can do it. Our bermuna grass is about equal to their clover. Their land is worth from 875 to SIOO per acre, ours about $lO. I can fatten hogs on ground peas and potatoes, which cost but little to make, and let them gather the crops. Then we have the advantage in climate, our winters being short. Every soutiwte: - fawner should live like a lord. "We can raise almost any thing that could be termed a luxury. Besides the main fruits wo can raise the straw and raspberry, and other small fruits, and have them nearly every month in the year. To make the farm self-sustaining we should have some product of the farm to sell every month. That need not take anything from the cotton crop. We have to have rotation or our lands would become exhausted. No one knows what high living is unless he has two or three hog killings a year, not such ones as “Tar Heel” describes as taking place in the lower part of the state, where the cats carry off one of the porkers, but fat and juicy 200 pounders. HIS RIGHT TO SHOOT. Zacloc Fine’s Y’lcws on the Question of Self Defense for the Seat. 11. C. Runner, In Scribner's Magazine. One warm evening in September Zadoc Fine sat in the front yard of tho widow Dadd’s house whittling a plug for the cider barrel. He looked up from his whittling and saw a party of a dozen men come up the road and stop at the gate. He arose and went forward to meet them. '•Good evenin’, friends!” he said, driving his jack-knife into the top rail of tho fence and leaning over the pickets. “Want to see me, I s’pose? AVhat c’n I do fer ye?” One man came forward and put himself at the head oft! e party. Zadoc knew him by sight. It was McCuskey, the “walking delegate.” “You can get out of this town,” said McCuskey, “as fast as you know howto. AYe'U give you just ten boars." “That's friendly like,” said Zadoc. “I ain't had a present o' ten hours’ free time made me since I wuz a boy at school.” “You have got to go," McCuskey began, “because you have interfered with the inalienable rights of labor; because you have taken the bread out of the mouths of honest toilers—” “Sho!" Zadoc interrupted him, “don’t talk no such leol talk ez that! 1 ain't taken no bread outer no man's mouth I ain't got down to that yet. S’pose you tell me in plain English wbat I've done to be run outer town fer.’” "Kill him! Hang tLe scab! Kill him!” “Kill?" Zadoc let out a voice that only the Adirondack hills had heard before. Then he checked himself and talked quietly, ye', so that every maa on the street heard biir« “1 came from the north woods,” he said. “They made men whar I came from. I ain’t wronged no man in this town. 1 come here to make my livin’, an' here I'll stay. Es you wauter fight I’ll fight yer, one at a time, or the hull gang! Ye can kill me, but ye've gotter kill me here. Au’ es it comes ter kill in’ I c’n hold my end up. I c’ukill a rabbit at forty rod, an' I own my rifle yit.

DENOUNCING A SHEEP STEALER. A Reminiscence of General John Bates, Hall County. From the Gainesville, Ga., Eagle. • Most of tho older citizens of tho county doii»’.i'-s remember their old representative, General John Bates. General Bates repre sented the county of Hall in the lower branch of tho general assembly of tho state for a greater number ot years than any tnan that ever held that responsible position. Ho was a sturdy old fanner and was successful to an ex tent that rendered him independent. He was a consistent Baptist, full of faith in his God ami 10 - , for his l>r< tliren. General Bates was asolid old time democrat —could not be bought with money, nor w< uld he play the sycophant for the sake of popularity, nor compromise tho truth in order to secure tho vote of ! any man. In 1c35l c 35 General Bates made , his last canvass for the Georgia leg- I falaturo. He had never been defeated in any : 1 evious canvass, and to him and his party this : i last one seemed to be tin’ m-t imjiortant of , . any that had preceded it. The vvbig ) arty : ! determined to defeat Bates in his election if I ! possible, and for this purpose thev put Richard i I Winn in t:.e field a i iinst him.

Prey ared only by C, I. HOOD CO., Apothecaries, Lowell, Mi.B4 100 Doses One Eoiiar man from middle Georgia, had settled in Gainesville, and wasa warm friend toGoneral Bates; he had served With him in the legis lature, and now, since ho had become his neighbor, bis friendship became more ardent. During court week, in September, Colonel Jordon chanced to meet up with a man on th® public square who was taking a firm stand against bis friend Bates. On ir'ing asked by Jordon why he bad turned so bitterly against his old friend, tho man replied that “Bates had accused him of stealing his sheep, and Ito would vote for no man that would accuse him of sheep stealing.” “Oh, well,” said Jordon, “you come along with me and let’s jsee Bates, for there may be some mistake or misunder standing about the matter, and if there is, I know lie will give you satisfaction.” On approaching General Bates. Colo nel Jordon said: “General Bates, here is an old friend and supporter of yours, who I find taking a stand against you, and gives as a reason for doing so that you had accused him of stealing your sheep. I told him there might be some' mistake about the matter, and have come with him to see you with the hope of having the matter satisfac torily adjusted. He seems to think you are due him an apology, which if made, he will do all he can to secure your election.” Gen eral Bates replied: “Well, Colonel Jordon, I know that this man has supported me in every canvass that I have ever made until now, and no man is more ready to make amends for a wrong done than I am, but in this matter I am not mistaken,” and with the index finger lifted to emphasize his words, said, “that man did steal my sheep.” Ido not know which was the more amazed, Colonel Jordon or the sheep-stealer, who walked sud denly away to renew his opposition. General Bates was elected to represent his county for the last time. Ho moved to Murray county the next year, and sometime after was ap pointed principal keeper of the penitentiary, and on the expiration of his term retired to his farm, where at a good old age, and after a well spent life, his body returned to dust as it was, and his spirit to the God who gave it.
