We veil' tire the assert ion that Union can
afford ss many idle young colored boye as
any town in (ho relate ; and wc think that
some steps shoul I ho taken to suppress (lie
evil, by enforcing 'ho vagrant law.
There is a mystery ahout liotv they get
their living. It may he in an honest way. but
wo hear of a great many pe-ly thefts, which
are generally traced to some lazy tritling
boy or Inys. In.st.eal of puitishiug them the
cases arc compromise I and the tliiof set frco.
That is very wrong, ss it only encourages
others to commit like crimes, believing they
can ccipe Ihs penally of the law by paying
a few dollars and promising to do so no more.

Ths much needed rain came last night, apd jj,
crops of all kin ta look much belter this w,
morning than thoy have for the last few
days.
1 rcgrt t to report that Mr. J. F. Wright nt|
lost by tiro last T> 'rsday night, his crib,
stable, wagon, tlvc or six bushels of corn, W(
some oats, two bridl.'S an 1 a few other arti- jlc
cles that I do not remember. Fortuna'cly j,?
b Simile was not ia the stable but iu the lot, q,,
been discovered ns early s? it was, no douhl (U]

a meeting of his club last Saturday evening ,j
for the purpose of selecting a suitable man ^
Iq take the place of Mr. Porter, and Mr. A. n'
O. Ifenjley y/ns tho gcutlcnian selected. Mr. pjBeutioy
is a straightforward, upright'christjai)
gentleman, and, in my humble judg- ^
incut, wi 1 make a good officer.
Mr. Editor tlipre lias t>??? a f>wn' '"it
sail about reducing tpc cotton crop to ton
acres to tho mule. That would do very \ye|l
if tho farmers coul t stand suoh a fall o|T in
the cot'ou at once. Hot tell me where is the
man thai could aland it nil at once ? Or
where is the merchant that would run a Pa
family that works on halves? I nm in favor
of cutting down the on ton crop just as low ,

one of our local contemporaries are lean

' been among hln hearers. The /Vu?
example, gives a rerort of the sermon
leh he prraohe I last fleadpjr night In tU
scnce of the 4,OOC people who crowded
tabernacle of Prohibition Park. Much
:be language or ling j of this sermon was
he nature of buffooner; more of it was
ubby and raffish, ead some of it was
sphemona. We quote hero but n single
isagc, and we must account for our doiug
by a tying that we bare an especial parte
in view. The Rev. Mr. Joaea said :
'God take* his auger an I bores right
vn through a fellows head to hi) heart
1 into Inn pocket, winch ehou'd spurt Ike
artesian well. He don't begin way down
1 bore up. If lie did what would He do
h the dirt? He can't do much with a
1, though, and there are some pieces of
kory that the Lord could not make an
a helve out of to save his aoul."
Is not this shocking language for a preacher
use about the Supreme Being! Could
ythiog be c received of more repugnant to
evcrentmind? Is it not blasphemous?
We will not quote any more of the Rev.
eked sermons at the religious or revival

have been craetioed hv lhe in

,s grown out of the matter between John
Scsrboro, who was a candidate, and hia

is elected prcsidcut, and his friends oq thq
her. The ScarbQro contingent declare war

is elected, to the great surprise of Scar?

It has since been imi t ated that Polk wag
it sincere in his profosshns of desiriug
arborc's election, an 1 it is hinted that lie
ould not allow any man to be elected that
