HUMOROUS.
One of our citizens is blessed,
or otherwise, with a very stubborn
wife. In his case he finds that
when a woman will she will, you
may depend on't, and when 6he
won't she won't, and that's an end
on't. This peculiarity of dispos**
tion in his wile is no secret air-^8
his associates, and one of V1?
meeting him the other dw? asked :
44 Well , do you8,fnow w y
you are like a donW,' , ,
44 Like a dop1^1 echoed W
, openio* "is eJe8 wide.?
44 No, I dort\ . a?
44 Do j 0u 8lV0 ^ UP ?
?(juo."
' Because your better half is
stubbornness itself."
44 That's not bad. Ha!ha! I'll
give that to my wife when I go
home."
44 Mrs. W ," he asked, as he
sat down to supper, 44 do yon
know why I am like a donkey ?'!
Ho waited a moment, expecting
Lis wife to give it up, but she
didn't; she looked at him somewhat
coinmiseratingly as she answered
:
441 suppose it's becauee yon
were born so."
W has abjured the habit of
putting conundrums to his wife.
- A
young mother was in the habit
ot airing the baby's clothes at the
window. Her husband didn't
like it, and, believing that if she
saw her practise as others saw it
she would desist, he so directed
their afternoon walk as to bring
the nursery window in full view
from the central part of the town.
Stopping abruptly, he pointed to
the offending linen flapping nn<?
consciously in the breeze, and asked
sarcastically.:
* My dear, what is that display
in onr window ?"
" Why," she replied, " that is
the flag of onr union."
Conquered by this pungent re
tort, he saluted the flag by a swing
of his ?hat; and, pressing bis
wife's arm closer within his own,
as he walked homeward said :
" And long may it wave I"

Mock Duel.?The Georgians
arc making inerry over the farce of
a duel between Joe Biown and
Gen. Toombs. Here is what the
Blackshear Georgian says:
" Hark from Bob Toombs y? angry
sound?
Joe Brown, attend the ery?
No living men shall view the ground
Where they will shortly lie.
For them there'll be no duel beds,
In spite of all their jowers?
Their tall, their wise, their reverend heads
Are about as level as ours."

A witty son of St. Patrick was
in charge of a ferryboat. A lady
passenger, being frightened by
the waves, asked him: 44 Are
people ever lost by this boat ?"?
He gave her the encouraging reply,
44 Not often, ma'am ; we generally
find them afterwards by
dragging the river."
An Irishman, noticing a lady
pass down the street, espied two
strips depending from under her
mantle. Not knowing that they
were styled sashes ana were hanging
in their right place, he exclaimed
: 44 An' faith ma'am, yer

"Fretty gooa for a man darner."

to Ulegal encroachments, or for
experi>''0*d jurists and lawyers to acquissce
in .enying a remedy, would provo govern
^bnts, constitutions and lawyers to be little
more than a system of charlatanry.
Let the tax payers of the State oall a Convention
as soon as an order for levying these
taxis for interest 1s intimated. Let them determine
to petition the General Government,
through its executive head, and send one of
our respeoted patriarchs from sash County as
bearers of a petition from its citliens, expressing
our grievances, and however simple as
this may seem, a stay may be ordered until
matters oan be examined in detail. Again,
it would plaoe us in the most favorable social
and political point of view. We must discard
our old feelings of 8pantoh donnishness ; nor
found conclusions on the old regime. We must
endeavor to check future encroachments, before
they have gained a developed strength.
Our oppressors are lively, united and energetic.
We must be equally so, and take our case into
our own bands. Passive immobility is exact
ly on a par with itupid inebriety. If onr oppressors
can collect this tax interest before
the meeting of the next Legislature, before a
future Congress oan assemble, or another President
can be inaugurated, no future President
will feel himself bound to rake up the embers
of a past administration, and by dallying, onr
oase may be lost by default.
Where shall we find an Amorioan Pitt, Fox
or Burke? Who is to prove the equal of
Burke in his share of the prosecution against
Hastings, and have his namo inscribed on the
roll of fame as the courageous and philosoph>
ieal lawyer and statesman, that proved him*
self one of the saviours of national freedom ?
Concessions after concessions have been
made to the North from the luauguration of
provisional governments to the fulfillment of
reconstruction, and as we receded the party
in power advanoed. Shall we now yield all,
and become outcasts to society and wanderers
over the earth?
Whilst we are reminded of our position as a
minority, we claim the intelligence and wealth
of the State. These two facta ?nd elements
should act an us potentially. Capital, it div
reoted hy uiidom, which is always koneit and
energttic, must give us onr natural position.
Let each raoe meet continually, and exchange
views honestly and truthfully on the present
and the future; and let no man hope against
hope. If every member, rioh and poor, does
pot stand up promptly and at once, we are ir*
retrievably lost. EXPERIENCE.
For ths Greenville EnterpriseIt
is trenching on dangerous ground to
qnestion the stability and the prospective, unimpaired
vitality of the time-honored Democratic
party, but we are living in an era when
progression is marked by startling and rapid*
ly recurring phenomena; and If. as Demo
crats, wo would maintain our position in the
front, w? cannot afford to sit by tho wayside
listlessly eonnlng over the formal* of a by?
gone age.
Freely admitting tb* conviction that It is
owing mainly to the influence of Demooratio
prineiples that this country has hitherto been
preserved in a soundly progressiva eondition,
the oonriction is equally strong that modified
circumstances demand modified treatment?
that, in a word, the Democracy of the past is
incapable of controlling the faets of the present;
and It is with faets, not with theories,
that we now har* to do.
If the Democratic party falls in the present
erisis to launch itself on the flood tide to
which it is invited by the present eonjunetnre
of affairs thare is very serious ground for ap?
prehension that it Is doomed to disintegration
and decay.
The Republican party has, If I may be al?
lowed the expression, succeeded in having Its
distinctive features crystallised in the constitution
of the oountry, and, protest as we may
on principle against tbo Republican theory of
gwtvtuiuoutf hv oftoooi nuuuy i|4 prMticil
operation.
Ilnman nature U not leu human nature In
men eolleetlvely than in men individually.
The point blank attitude of oppngnaney hitherto
maintained by the ltemueratio party to
warda all Repnblloan meaaurea baa availed
only to make thoae meaaurea more atrlngent;
and a continued, unyielding actagonlam will
aa largely be followed by almllar eteeaa in Hepublican
lagialatioa.
Admitting that Demooratio eeneervatleui ta
irreeonellable with the blind and headlong
progreealveneea of Republioaniam, it aeeda
bat little refleetkm to dleeovev that the prevent
erlala hu very little to do with pitting abetraot
theory agalnat aba tract theory. To endoree a
platform In which the eardinal prlnciplea of
the Demoeratie party are dietinctly aouneiated
eaaaet aatlafy that party j to refeae to endoree

seeeptanoo tbo vitality of the Democratic party
1s not endangered but encored, Its moral as

the utter want of any prinoiplaa of th?ir own.
Wo ahoald not judge too barahly of tbeae
new converts. The more elderly among them
hare doubtleaa weighed oarefully the conflicting
oiaima of dependent famiilea and patriot*
ism, and, very naturally, patriotism has kicked
the beam. Charity begins at borne.' The
younger converts, too, may very plausibly ar
gue that they hope to hare dependent families,
and, in anticipation of this agreeable pros*
pect, it is their dnty to ally themselves with
the flourishing establishment on the other side
of the way. We are pained by tbe defection
of the formOr, amused by the glowing eloquence
of tbe latter, which brings to our
minds with refreshing distinctness the classie
story of the fox that had lost its tail. There
is so mnoh effervescing sea!, snob abounding
charity, snob beautifully-dodged oonelusions
in their harangues to the unbelieving that, in
spite of oommon scum, grammar and logic,
we are almost tempted to surrender that trifling
little appendage, honor, and throw ourselves,
heart and soul, into the Radical ranks.
In tbns attempting to define the present
position of the Demooratio party, and to Indicate
the duty and policy thenoe resulting,
I have only proposed to suggest that the question
now before that party can be satisfactorily
answered only when it is entertained on
ground* more extended than that usually re
gardod a* limiting purely party considerations.
Intelligent patrlotiam may yet save the
oountry. Rigid partisanship will perpetuate
the evils under whioh we are groaning, and
will assuredly prove to the Democratio party
a policy destructive of Its own vitality, and
directly oonduolve to the permanence and aggressive
character of the present dominant
Radicalism. SPECTATOR.

elear that a desperate attempt was making
by the administration party fraudulently to
give Caldwell a semblance of victory. All
the faote point to the exlsteuee of such a
scheme, and the latest reports from tha
