The object of the 'indignation meetings" Is to take some step toward having a , new election on account of the illegality of 1 five votes cast* which the present Council claimed should not be counted, while the 1 uther ticket claimed they should have heen counted. Things are pretty warm and lively ;n town over the election, it is strange, that in so small a town as ours, the people can not ! consolidate and have olie.tieket and stop having so much to say over the election.

Those United States senators who opposed .he Klair educational bill, on the ground that t is "unconstliooshondl" lo grant publicmon- ? sy for such a purpose, experienced not a sinrle qualtn of conscience when they recorded .heir votes in favor of appropriating $50t),0ii0of he people's money to build a monument to jfenerit) Grant.

In her "open tl: etter" to Miss Rose Cleveland anent "Bare i, Seeks, Shoulder Blades and Arms," relates gp ;he following incident: Sitting at dinneronce a 11 a fashionable hotel In Washington, discuss- ii ns a woman's convention, then in session. fe ivith some gentlemen, a lady offensively in ie Hie opposition, as indecently dressed as the hi ashion allowed, objected to women speaking tc n public, singularly enough oil the ground that it iuvolved groat saci iiice of delicacy and eflnement to lie thus exposed to the gaze of promiscuous assemblies.

' The Augusta Chruntcle has ooen publishing ^ x series ot articles from the pens of different , correspondents In Georgia and this State on {! Lhe question. ''Is the Negro a Failure? Sever- ! j U of those writers corroborate what we said ;! In your columns a week or two ago iu regard " Lo education having proved a curse to the. ne- ^ jroes of the South. One of them says: "What Joes the part show us? It shows us that so . far the education of tho negro has been a failLire. The records of our criminal courts will j> show that, nearly all of the educated negroes f tiave committed crime. Teach a negro how !! to write and lie forthwith and immediately h puts that knowledge int.6 execution by be- [ = L'oming a forger. Teach him anything you j please and lie will make it the means of com- J: mitting crime. Of course there are some ex- }' ueotions to this rule, but we are not discuss Ing these exceptions; we are discussing tne whole race." Another correspondent says: "The experience of t he writer is that, as a race, they are capable of limited education; ind in no other instance ns in this has a little learning proved so dangerous a thing. Some >bservation among negro convicts proves that 3Uitea larse proportion of the worst class can * read and write. And incredulous as it may appear, the experience of the past, forty-tlvo yearsamong negroes on the plantations proves that a preacher, who is the educated man ] among them, has been the source of every } !*onsIderable lawless act committed by them here vitliic that time whenever the matter J was traced to its origin." Home one writing from this place in the 4 Press and Banner over the signature of "Abou tJen Adhi-tn" takes the Itev. It. F. lhadlej' to task for denouncing Masonry from the pulpit, f v.mo hnlrl that, it'Mr. Bradlev deems Ma- 7 sour.v to be wrong it is Just as legitimate for lilm to denounce it from the pulpit us it is for ? liiin to denounce murder, theft, arson or any it her wrong-doing, it may not he policy for ?; liiin to do so; but we would not give much for i policy man In or out of the pulpit. A large H proportion of tlus people of I he United States u ire opposed to secret, oath-bound societies. Article Fifteen of the Testimony of the Unit- 15 rfd Presbyterian church, one of the largest, mid most influential denominations in this country, positively denies membership to 1? those connected with secret, oath-bound socle- 14 Lies; and at the General Assembly of this church held in Topelta, Kansas, in May of 15 last year this prohibition was construed to e.\- 1C Lend even to the Grand Army of the Republic. Under monarch la 1 forms of government l" It may become necessary for the oppressed to I bind tnerilKCI VOS lOgeiner UJ Iiuuin iu irmsnit Hie encroachments of their oppressors; but I in this land of liberty, where no class of our lj people can Justly claim Hint they are unfairly ai ilealt with, numbers of good citizcns think that secret societies are out of place. And 21 one has but 10 watch the maneuvers of the 22 Knights of Labor to become convinced that opposition lo secret societies has some sub- 2-"1 stantia! basis to rest upon. "Abon Hen A(l- '24 hem advances the stereotyded arguments in favor of Masonry?its antiquity, its respectability and its charity. Masonry may be hoary ivit.h age, still crime was committed before Masonry was instituted; but we have never y*el known an arraigned criminal to plead ir Ibis fact In palliation of his o(fence. Extreme youth is sometimes pleaded in extenuation of L-rinie; old age never. We admit the respectability of Masonry; but ils membership must ulmit that "respectable." men often commit nets which are legitimate subjects of denunciition Iroin the pulpit. As to the charity of m Masonry as an organization, that Is bestowed exclusively upon ils own members, or upon r the widows and orphan children of Masons, k ihd the latter generally receive but a tithe of a - a 1. j i ? ..??! ,1 I ?a t UA Aixinit Kv Hto li nt!_ I lj tVIUll.

Wc do not wish to assume the role of defender of Mr Bradley, for he is amply able to delend himself: nor do we wish to be understood [is denouncing Masonry, of which we know but little beyond the faet that it Is a secret, rmih-boundsociety. We simply contend that it is the duty of every minister of the gospel to denounce what he deems to be wrong, regardless of the opinion of others; for in s<> doing he tuit obeys the .Scriptural injunction, l "Cry aloud and spare not." f CONSIGNEES.

I think it well the farmers should meet In invention to make known their grievances, it let them do so in calmness, and with nt lifnl facts before them. Let them consid the Lien L?iw, and see how an act conived in charity has boon by Ionic iibuse ex:uted in extortion.

Let them investigate all 6 minor laxes, and see whether they do not i the aggregate amount to a grievous hur>n. For instance, why should a fanner feed Seattle on eotton seed meal exempt from xation. whereas if he feeds liis crops on the me article he is taxed for the privilege.
