Caulfield, and he represents the Ist,
Illinois District in the next Congress.
He starts for Washington in a day or

toll of bills all written out for intro

things, to amend the Constitution so
as to forbid the re-election of any
President; to cut the President’s
salary down to $35,000; to forbid any
inflation or any contraction of the
currency; to have the heads of the
several departments occupy Beats
on the floor et tho House two days in
the week, when they shall answer all
questions put to them and have the
privilege of debate ; and to vote tor
Mr. Kerr for Speaker. He says there
are several other reform questions
he Is thinking about, but he has not
yet decided upon what course ho will
take in reference to them. On sever

TIM Khedive of Kcypl
is a remarkable man. His eyes are
turned to Africa with the same inter
est as that with which a Century ago
Jefferson regarded the Great West,
then an unknown wilderness, now
a well peopled territory. The sale
of the Suez canal has redeemed
Egypt from the abyss of financial
degradation to which Turkey has fal
len, and the orescent and the Koran
progress gradually to the populous
shores of Victoria Nyanza. The
Khedive is now engaged in a scheme
of conquest and exploration une
qualled in cotemporary annals.
Egypt is a country that never fails
in abundant crops, and her ootton,
sugar, grain and gum, with undeviat
ing certainty, are poured into the
markets of the world. The Khedive,
therefore, deserves in a large meas
ure the sympathy and support of
Christendom, or, as Sir Samuel Ba
ker puts it, “all chivalrous friends of
the Khedive should now rally
around him.”
Some three hundred cottages for
the accommodation of foreign exhib
itors at the CentonnlaL pot up at the
expense of their several government s,
are rapidly approaching completion.
There are 54,350 beggars in Paris,
two-thirds of whom are females.
"inttepeniteiit as a Wood-Sawyer lit a
The Bays of Qov,
Smith:
“Govei t!<§ Smith may have made a
Rood Governor; and he hae, wo be*
We, given very gKeral tat isfhetioil;
bud he has his blunders and mistakes,
his pfejuatoea and whims, that arc
incident to the human family.”
Thin is very true; mid the greatest
blunder and mistake that Gov. Smith
ever made was in not recognizing the
fitness of Mr. Williams, proprietor
and editor of the Trans, tor the office
of Judge of thoCityOourt, fur which
he so earnestly begged; and then, as
if this mistake was not enough, he
actually had the dullness to utterly
fail to nee the fitness of that young
gentleman’s capacity for the dis
charge of the duties of Solicitor In
the County Court, und actually re
fused to accord even that sop to his
hungry ambition. Such mistakes are
rarely over forgiven.-Sawyer & Co.’s
Courier.
Tho above “blunders” must have
dropped from the caves of the Cap
itol, and havo drifted upon the sea
of sarcasm into tho bosom of old
man Sawyer. A “trained journalist”
should be above making statements
that lack the essence of truth. In
the first place, we are not tho “pro
prietor and editor of the Times,” but
only a part of the establishment.
Secondly, there is no such court in
this section as the “City Court.”
Thirdly, we never had the honor of
“earnestly begging” Gov. Smith or
anybody else tor tho position of
Judg of any city court.
Now, we did have aspirations to bo
the Solicitor of this Circuit; and as
to the manner In which our efforts
wore rewarded, we beg leave to refer
Mr. Sawyer to Gov. Smith. Our un
derstanding was that at one time the
Governor did “have the dullness to
see our fitness,” If wo may be allowed
to Judge so, from such remarks as
these:
Governor -Well, you are the first
applicant, aiut you ?
“Earnest Beggar”—Yes.
Governor—You know the rule at
the mill, “first come, first served”
don’t you ?
“Earnest Beggar”—Yes.
Governor—That is all I can say,
you kuow. [Exit “Earnest Beggar.”]
Then again:
“Hungry Ambition”—Govornor, if
my application in any way embar
rasses you, I will withdraw it.
Governor—No, don't do it but I
can’t say any more.
This may be very modestly called
by the friends of tho Governor a
“blunder,” and it.may be that, we
“blundered” in expecting anything
from such a vague und non-committal
conversation; but, aguiu, it might
strike a reasonable man that “the
Governor did (not) fail to see the
fitness of the young gentleman’s ca
pacity tor the discharge of the duties
of the office.”
But the so called “blunder” is for
given ; tor in “blundering” on us, he
gave to the Circuit a moet excellent
Solicitor.
The author of the squib tor Sawyer
& Co.’s Courier, It seems, has “blun
dered” in his statements, and bus
evidently imposed upon the credulity
of the old man,
TIM Prosecution of the Whiskey Kin**.
Neither of tho two great political
purties can gain party capital out of
tho prosecution of the Whiskey lings.
The Republican party has the merit
of exposlug and punishing those in
fluential partisans who were the Inti
mates of the President who appoint
ed them tor party or personal ends.
The stigma resting on the Republican
party by tho almost universal corrup
tion of its officials high in power is
much moderated, but not removed,
by those latter-day exposures. Yet,
Secretary Bristow has won great
honors for himself, and the Republi
can ship of state is kept afloat by his
energetic honesty. For years the
public has been warned that there
was great corruption in the Civil ser
vice, and that great criminals were
shielded by the President and his
advisers. Now that President Grant
says "let no guilty man escape,” he
him shown his official integrity, but
demonstrated his utter unfitness as
the Executive of tho United States.
But the Democratic party can
hardly show a parallel to this whole
sale exposure and conviction of pro
minent leaders of Its own party. Our
greatest fear is that, in tho anxious
thirst tor political power and deter
mination to evince a superiority to
any legislation not strictly constitu
tional, Southern Democrats may play
into the hands of Northern capital
ists, cities, and representatives, by
ignoring the fact that the vast system
of internal improvements by the
General Government was undertaken
at a time when they were powerless
to provent such legislation, or to
secure an equal share in t his foster
ing care of the General Government.
While opposed to any legislation
which will not prove of financial
benefit to the Government, wo ask
that the impoverished South, whose
working capital was diminished to
the extent of $3,1)00,000,000 by eman
cipation, shall receive National aid
to carry out improvements of a Na
tional character. Northern journals
that advocated the system of inter
nal improvements by which $175,000,-
000 were given to the North and West
while only $17,000,000 have been
granted to the South, are now clam
orous against any further aid being
extended by the General Govern
ment. They urge that, the times are
unpropitious; and economy and re
trenchment ait) the watchwords of
both political parties.
The Constitution hus been torn to
shreds by the party in power to
advance Northern interests; let not
the endeavor to “patch it up” cause
Southern men to forget the Injustice
which has been done to the South.

It is a rather interesting fact just at
present that Sam Tilden is tho only
Democratic statesman who hus car
ried his State in this fall’s election.—
Exchange.
It must be an Interesting fact to
contemplate that whereas the Demo
crats carried the State last year by
63.000, they now havo It by 16.000, and
while they had the Assembly last
your, tho Republicans now have it
by 14 majority. The Democrat who
can extract comfort from such a state
of facts could be happy at a funeral.—
Ontario County, fN.Y.) Journal.
Wo agree with the Memphis Ava
lanche in saying that "the ‘whiskey
ring’ and Us nefarious curruiitions
will continue in some shape so long
as tho present system of collecting
internal revenue Is maintained. The
only way to reform is to abolish the
whole thing, from the Commissioner
of Revenue to the stamps which go
on the whiskey casks. Tho system
invites and fosters fraud, and edu
cates a corps of thieves in whiskey
and tobacco, just os a protective
tariff makes thieves at the Custom
House of one-huif who do business in
them.” -Shreveport Times.
It is our belief that in ten years
from to-day St. Louis will have out
stripped New York in population.
What she may be in the more distant
future, when the great Western terri- j
tories arc fully developed, may be
understood from her present rate of
growth within a comparatively limit- j
ed stretch of deiiendent territory.— i
Mobile Register.
When it is argued against Mr.
Randall that accepted the back pay
voted by the last Congress it should
not bo forgotten thut, Mr. Kerr, his
oompetior, also accepted back pay
when voted by a Congress of u row
years ago. The difference between Mr.
Randall’s postion and that of Mr.
Kerr is the difference between
cant and sincerity, and every
sincere Democrat will rejoice in the
opportunity to show his res|ieot for
courage and manliness opinion by
welcoming Mr. Randall to tho office ;
of Speaker.—N. Y. Horald.
The Republican press is gradually
hearing of the Emma Mine scandal.
Thus far its voice Is unanimous for.
Mr. Sohenck’.i recall. Does the
President hear it?— N. Y. Tribune.
Third term sentiment is not very
strong in Vermont, evidently. The
Rutland Globe remarks: "We be
lieve we know tho temper of the Re
publican jiarty in Vermont well
enough to be justified in sayiug that,
with Ulysses 8. Grant as a candidate
for re-election with such a Democrat,
as Samuel J. Tilden in opposition,
Vermont could not be cajoled or
forced into giving her electoral vote
for Grant. She would prefer Tilden
and take the risk—and it would be a
risk—of the Democracy. The Repub
licans of Vermont, however, feel
that there is about as much chance
of a renomination of Grant as there
is of the Slate voting for Jeff Davis.
Possibly the Democrats will adopt
at their next State Convention a
school plank, not because they be-
Iteve that the common schools have
anything to do with present political
contests, but because it may bo re
garded expedient to meet the Repub
lican charge that they arc unsound j
in regard to tho public school sys
tem.—Buffalo Courier, Dem.
Now that the facts arc ascertained,!
Sehonok’s recall is imperative. He :
has disgraced tho American Govern
ment nnd American people as long
as he should be permittee) to do so.
The American Government, cannot
wi{ie out the personal and official
disgrace which Gen. Schenck lias
brought upon himself and the high
position he holds, but It can free it
self and the American people from
all responsibility for It by his imme
diate dismissal. -Chicago Tribune,
Rop.
Chief Justice Waite has done a sen
sible action in refusing to becomes
candidate for the Presidency. It is
an honorable ambition to aspire to
the White House, but an innate sense
of propriety teaches the people that
it is an ambition in which the Judges
of the Supremo Court will wisely not
indulge. The serene atmosphere of
our highest judicial tribunal ought
never to be disturbed by the conten
tions of politics and tho intrigues of
party. —N. Y. Tribune.
There is a too evident tendency in
the Democratic press to urge investi
gation as the end and aim of the
Democratic House of Representa
tives. This is all wrong. Congress
lias other work than to resolve itself
into a smelling committee of the
whole on the rottenness of the Union.
The Democratic majority must put in
practice the protracted preachings of
honesty and economy which the
country has heard from the small
Democratic corner of tho House for
the last fifteen years. In short, the
Democratic Congress this winter is
expected to make the Democratic
platform of 1872 good for 1876 by hon
oring its professions. Thorough in
vestigations must be instituted, of
course, but that is not enough.—Bal
timore Gazette.
Hans Andersen’s Love History.
St. JOcholan for Ducetuber.J
It was on his journey through Zea
land, Funeu and Jutland, that he
met a young girl with whom he fell
deeply in love, but who, unfortu
nately, at the time was engaged to
another man, and as Anderson never
met another women whom he could
love as he loved this girl.he remained
unmarried all his life. Many years
later, a peasant girl, who had heard
about him as a great and world re
nowned poet, whom all men hon
ored-anti who, I believe, had also
read some of his Stories—took it into
her head that he was the one man
she wanted to marry.. So she star
ted out tor Copenhagen, where An
dersen was then living, went to his
house, and told him her errand. You
can imagine how astonished he must
have been at; being told by a young,
haudsome girl that she wished to
marry him. “I should be so very
good to you,” said she, “and always
take good care of you.” '’But,, mv
dear girl, I don’t wish to be married,”
answered he; and she departed as
suddenly as she had come.
Health Before Everything
A farmer, the other day, was walk
ing around the Central Market try
iug to find some chap willing to go
into the country and do a little work
for good {my. when a colored man ac
costed him,'asking:
“Boss, does yon want someone to
husk corn?”
“Yes; I’ve been looking all the
morning for someone.”
“What’s do pay?”
"I’ll give $1 a day.”
“And board?”
“Yes.”
“An* chickens an’ pudding for din
ner?”
, “Y -yes.”
“An 1 Havana cigars to smoke?”
“I-I guess so,’’stammered the far
mer.”
“An’ a coal stove right dose arotm’
dar whar do corn is?”
“No; I never heard of a stove in a
corn field,”
“Well, if dar’s no stove out dar you
can’t coax die chile along! Ize got to
take keer of my health, even if dere
isn’t a bushel of corn raised in dis
country!”—Detroit free Press.

The Currrnrj.
The Lynchburg Nela very justly
treats the currency question in tho
following letter:
It were idlo to assume, and withal,
the sharest clap-trap to assert thut
the interest of the two classesli iden
tical, under tho present financial
system of tho government. Let us
I see. The capitalist who Ims his hun-;
dred thousand dollars to his credit in j
bank of the present currency is of
j course anxious tor a speedy resump
tion of siioclo payments, aod why;
beeauSbthat would enhance the value
of bis money, und give to his hun
dred thousand dollars a purchasing
power of fifteen i>er cent., greater
than what it now has. In other !
■words, his money, which is now fif
teen per cent, below the gold stan
dard, would, by the act of resump
tion, bo made equal in value to gold,
and thus his wealth would be in
creased fifteen thousand dollars by
the operation. But how would
siKiedy resumption affect the 1
debtor? He may owe this very oapl- ■
talist a hundred thousand dollars in j
currency and the debt had been con
tracted when "legal tenders” were
fifteen percent below the gold stand
ard. It is to his interest to pay off
this debt with as little value ns the
law will allow, and he is therefore
conscientiously iu favor of an in
crease of the present amount of cur
rency. It is most natural and not at
all unreasonable that ho should be
opposed to {siying fifteen }>er cent,
more than lie hud contracted to pay
when the debt was created, and this
he would do if lie had to pay specio
at the maturity of the debt. Now
here is a gulf between the debtor and
creditor not easily bridged, and the
individual who wilt plan a bridge
so as both parties can pass over if
without {laying too much toll, will
well deserve the thanks of all classes.
It was the late Horace Greeley, if
our memory be correct, who said:
"The way to resume specie payment
is to resume.” Now It seems to us
that this is more easily said than
done, and more flippant than wise.
We shall iij a future number treat
of another class, to-wit: The bond-;
holders, and of Ihe present volume
of currency and how it is used.

THE COTTON STATES LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF MACON, GA.,
Desirous of meeting the demand of the Insuring public for low rates, and contracts that can be un
derstood by all, offexe the Endowment-Life-Rate Policy, with confidence that an examination of the
plan is oil that is necessary to commend it to the fevor of all desiring insurance. Thi* plan set urt
two objects: Ist. It provides for those dependent upon ns in the event ui death. 2d. I* provides
for onr old age in case we attain a stipulated sg. Tho few rate of premium, and the fact that the in
eurauee is payable with the ordinary period of life, makes it the moat desirable form of policy new
offered to the public.
ReHK4Ni fsr Insuring on (he Eadau uent-Elfe-Sate Plan:
Ist. It gives the insurance at the lowest possible cost. 2d. It provide* for your family in esse o
death. 3d. It provides for yourself in case of old age. 4th. There can be no loss. Incase premi
ums should he discontinued, paid up insurance is given for the amount paid in premiums. sth. It
is better than s savinga bank. Tb first pruufem 1 aid secures a fortune, and it paj mini* are << -
tinned the accumuiaturns and the amount insured will be much more than could he earned by the
most fortunate savings bonk. bib. It secures the amount at a stipulated age, within the ordinary pe
riod of Hfe; and 7th- bj thi* means it iirtott longer necessary to “ole to win.”
