goytaeru Ty mieiST Mionroe, March 23, 1871, IBffunoas feature of the siege oi Praris,- was that, after supplies of fuel And provisions had come into ticfcity An consequence of the armistice, a much ■fitter number of people were visible BBlic streets than hail* been seen for ■hs before. Inquiries made upon showed that the wajorily <>f SSkad heen lying in bed since Oct o to keep warm. The lar MWt pf the population of I’ari - was H by 7, P. M. during those tiwTng se'ats lias become lar business under Radical rule, and n very lucrative one at that. Those wht> do not succeed in getting admitted to Congress, are sure to get pay and mil eage, consequently the inducements to engage in the . business are better than legitimate employment. Forty thousand dollars were divided among the pretenders at the close of the -list Congress. Flanking the Bayonet Election- Law.— ln; the New York Senate one Hardenbergli introduced a bill provid ing that hereafter the annual election in that State of the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, except the eLeufion for President, Vice Pres ident, and members of Congress, be changed to the first Tuesday in Oc tober of each year, and that all legal provisions applying to elections shall apply to the elections under this bill. Chant Laid on the Shelf.— Spca king of the Grant-Sumner rupture, the New York Sun says: “Os course no sensible Republican dpubts that this quarrel has destroyed the last ves tige of a chance for the renomination of Grant. Accepting this as a foregone conclusion, the party will now begin to look-around in earnest for anew can didate who can harmonize its factions and enable it to present an unbroken front to the enemy in the great coutest of next year.” A Thick-Ihpped M eusek. —The Washington correspondent of the Bal timore Gazette, speaking of swearing in of the new members of Congress, says: ““The appearance of the new comers was quite encouraging. The best-face I saw among the lot of the few remaining scalawags and carpet baggers, was that of the negro, whose lips covered the whole surface of the lid.of the enormous Bible which ho kissed with great fervor.” Nigiio Jurors. —Chief Justice Ma son,of Nebraska, has delivered an opin ion against negroes, sitting as jurors in that State. The principle point made is that the fourteenth and fif teenth amendments grant rights to ue grates, but impose no duties upon them, and that jury service is a burden and not a privilege; that the State consti tution can be changed only by the same power that enacted it; that Con gress could not confer such authority to change upon the Legislature. This is a sensible view of the case.— We have often argued in these columns against the absurdity of anybody’s claiming a right to go to jail after conviction of crime. Nobody cvei considered it a right until misebiet could be made out of its exercise. [Savannah News. The Bid of the Speculators. —New York speculators arc offering to sell farmers, next January, as much low middling cotton as they desire, for 14 e. This means 11J in this section. The question is, had we better take the speculator’s offer than work hard all the year, and then get 7e for it? Make plantations self-sustaining and farmers will get a paying price. Historic Allegory. —The St. Pat rick’s Day procession in New York on St. Patrick’s Day, hail twenty-five thousand men in line most all native. A novel feature was a company repre sentative of the men who attended Shane Oneil in his memorable visit to Queen Elizabeth. They wore saffron colored robes, helmets, long flowing locks, and carried immense battle-axes. Governor Walker, of Virginia, being interviewed by a woman who desired to know his position on a certain ques tion, asked her what she thought of the matter herself, and being answer ed that she was on the fence, gracions replied: ‘Madam, I wish no more agree able position than sitting by your side.” Gainesville, according to the Eag’.e, is on the improve. It is instanced as au almost TUPP relleled military achievement that Gen eral Von Wrangel's division of Get; wan troops marched fourteen wiles a day for nine successive days. Kx-GoyernoftPerry, of Soutjf Caro- a towiav crnorScotl, Wiling hint l-hat two things are newessary to State pros perity, viz: appoint good inert to Qffice. 1 Ben Butler, having -drawn a nack seat in the House, - persuaded a lifw and inexperienced colored member, who had beffn more fortunate, to exchange with him. That's his obi ’tA-fc-^kcop ing himself to the front at thc*expenso of the “nigger.” State Dental Society will hold its fourth annual session in Augusta on the of April. The different railroads centering at Augus ta will pass members and delegates at tending the meeting for full fare going, and return tree. A nicely dressed, woman says the Atlanta Intelligencer, was detected se creting articles of merchandise about her per-sGir, in ji dry goods store, in that city. She was admonished to sin no more? and given .a free pass from the establishment, Tin Orleans Dynasty and the Fiench Throne. —A dispatch from London states that “the Count of Paris renounces any intention on his part, tocompete with the other princes of the royal house of France for the throne.” Tlie Cincinnati Southern railroad bills has passed its second reading in the Senate and has been rclercd to (lie Committee on Commerce. This, ac cording to the opinion of the friends of a Congressional charter for the road, is equivalent to a passage of the bill through the Senate. The oldest inhabitant ofNew York city is a gentleman whose birth day dates back to ten years before the Declaration of Independence, he being 105 years old. Ilis name is Lahrbush, and those who know the. old settler say he is as active in mind and body as man 3 r . men of a quarter of a ceutu ry younger. An old negro man, sn3’s die Coving ton Enterprise, by the name of Isaac Hartsfleld, attempting to get on the up way fieight Wednesday morning last, at Conyers, while the train was in mo tion, fell between the rear box and the platform, and was so badly injured by the pressure of the train on him, that he died of his injuries the same even ing- Mr. Swagger who was wounded in the leg by a shell in the siege of Paris and died after amputation, was from Louisville and had been a faithful Con federate soldier, lie went to Paris to study the civil law preparatory to ad mission to the New Orleans bar. A most horrible death occurred ataj boarding school, in Fernundina, last week, occasioned by the explosion of a kerosinc damp. Miss Sarah Cole, an adopted daughter of Col. Cole, a most lovely 3'oung girl of sixteen summers, on retiring to bed, concluded to extin guish the light by closing a book sud denly over the top of the lamp. The result proved that the blaze was forced down the chimney into the oil, produc ing an instantaneous explosion, set ting her clothes on fire and causing her death from snffocstion. Retarding Peach Blossoms. —There i is only one way to accomplish this, and that is, to take an axe and cut it down and cast it into the fire. I have tried main- ways to chock the peach from blooming; all failed. Ice was tried around the bare mots, and still the buds expanded and fruit form ed. “Jack frost” made a dean sweep, and my fine specimens were gone.— The next season I took a war attitude : and prepared for defense. I procured a Large quantity of sawdust, made ; heaps of it all over the peach orchard, and when there was anil signs of a kill ing frost I put fire to the sawdust and raised a dense smoke throughout the orchard. By this plan, I have saved a crop of peaches. Now, as the trees are commencing to bloom, the sawdust should be placed thick in small heaps, covering over with pieces of bark to prevent it from getting too wet, and when “Jack frost” advances, charge ' him by double column, front and rear, ' and lie will beat a hasty retreat. the Gainsville Eagle says: The track is laid and the carar are now running oivt 1 rfb roar to Qpforil, 10 A miles be low this. If the weather should yon-' Tin tie favorable the grading will be finished to this ptfccciui two or three weeks. A Subject for tlie Present Time. Nir. 1. Editor Aiteal : In tlie present age of and vaunted progress in every i ffie.well being of our fallen i humanity, the introductions of tire forms • and fashions of the world into associations ■ called Christian, can only he productive of l evil, producing discord, discontent and con fusion amongst the membership, if there should be any Christians amongst them, and necessarily so, because of its anti- Christian spirit in the substitution of the} human for the divine will, anil thereby coil -' stUnting fallen man, or humanity for GotlJ inasmuch as he or -it would presume to teach the Deity, instead ol being taught of God ; it is, therefore, but tlie intrwhlerisfc of Paganism or Idoletry, enwbrftslfed and ;dressed in tire iiameof Christianity; it iA \ the worship of the creture instead of tlie 1 Creator, and because of its anti-Christian and evil spirit it must necessarily come from the devil, and to tolerate or sanction, much less to advocate it, is but to tolerate, sanction and advocate tlie cause of tlie world, the flesh and the. devil. 1 Tow then is it possible for the Christian to do so and be consistent and true to his oath or vows made when joining the church to ! renounce the devil and his works, the vain !pomp and glory of the world, with all : covetous desires of the same, and the carnal desires of the flesh, so that they will not ■ follow or be led by them, anil in entering j into tills covenant with God, joining anil remaining in an association called Chris tian that tolerates,-sanctions anil advocates’ (lie forms anil fashions of the world in their public service or worship, does lie not in doing so stultify himself with falsehood and in the very act make so heaven, earth and bell o f the lie; and if unwittingly, may be excused, but if wit tingly and persisted in, the court of heaven will settle the matter, and their proffered plea for the security of heaven and the en joj-ment of its rights and privaleges, as may be given in the 22d verse of the 7th chapter of Mathew, is answered in tlie fol lowing, or 2Jd verse. And if it lie true, as I)r. Jeter says, and as I believe it to be, “ That instrumental worship is not allow able in Christian worship, and of instru mental music, not tlie slightest trace in the New Testament but to its opposite. Speak ing to yourselves in Psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody- in your hearts unto the TxirdyqtH that Organs, now deemed in many places essential to the solemnity and respectabili ty of Christian worship, was' introduced into the Churches in the eighth and nineth cento lies from the Theatres, and served to complete the desecration of church music to purposes of taste and amusement.” It is not, then, at all- surprising to find, ag said by Dr. Way land, in 1857, “That in country and village churches wc have seen large assemblies melted into tears by the earnest singing of familiar hymns to simple plain tive tunes, but we have yet to see the first tear shed "and the first devotional excite ment under the influence of the artistic choir, aided by the solemn tones of a high I sounding Organ.” 13.
