Upon the roception of a card like the above the first terror that presents itself is the probable resolutions of the Club, or Association which will follow, in which the different gudgeons are thank-j i-d by name for their most valuable and j interesting journals.

They seem to think that! there is now really no dilliculty in that | respect, and the charter confers such dis-1 eretionary privileges as .vill enalilc tho company to construct the road without j trouble as to right of way.

An attempt to descrilie the! tnanv beautiful and usetul articles dis- : tilayed, would he a task too hard for a i wtetrfHor editor.

The funniest thing about tbo evidence, before United States Commissioner in hi* search for proof against our people in the conduct of the election, was the statement of witnesses that thev did not vote i because a white tnan was there "carclcssI Iv- handling a board with nails in it." 1 Jfhe negroes at Monticjllo seemed very f11 L much afraid of a board with nails in it.
