Ki ?ITO it: Using the columns of your valuable paper a? a medium, I would like to sav a few words tv? my brother farmers : Gentlemen.-'fbi* is hard year on you -perhaps the most severe of your lifo. You have had difficulties to contend with, stich ns you have never had before. You conscientiously feel that you have done your part, but the labor of your hands has not been rewarded. Drouth has cut off your crops, and you are despondent. Some of you are almost "out of heart." You have had lo go iii debt for your self, and some of you have had to stand good for persons in your employ. They CHnnot pay out, and you cannot pay all ? of your own indebtedness. You cannot sec uow how you are io get along, nnd we are afraid that ?onie of you are try ing lo cover up and forget your troubles iu driuk. We do not accuse you of get tiu?? drunk o. being drunkards but are there not some of you who have not drank anything intoxicating for several i years, or, perhaps, never before ? You go to town to sell your little cotton, or I on other business, and find your indebt t edness larger than you imagine, and you j persuade yourself that a drink or two will make you feel belter. Well, admit ting that it will, it will not pay your debts nor relieve your troubles ; but will ultimately increase your troubler- and certainly lighten your pockets, lessen your own self-respect nud rob your fam ily of something they need. You think you are honest; you intend to pay your debts; you would not defraud one of your creditors; but remember that every ten cents you pay for intoxicating drinks you stenl that much from your wife and children. They help you to muke and take care of what you have, and they have never gave their cousent for you to spend it in driuk. Wc are uot making war on the saloon-keepers now, but they eau live better without your money than you can. ... Aud uow to sum up : Your crops are short, your debts are large, your cred itors are pressing. Make a fair, candid statement of facU to them ; pay your debts as far as you can ; beg them to give you indulgence on what you cannot possibly pay now ; sow plenty of oats and wheat; pay your preacher in full, and don't forget your Editor-he needs something ; aud lastly, dou'l forget to thank God for his mercies aud blessings during the year 1S83, and prove your gratitude by making good use of what He has given you. Yours in sympathy, BtiA. Fur the Intelligencer. Temperance fleeting, MR. EDITOR: The meeting appointed by the District Executive Committee of tho Order of the Sous ot Temperance was held with Broadaway Division ou Saturday night, 6th inst. The President being absent, vice-Pres ident L. P. Smith presided. Thc Secre tary being absent, M. C. Parker was ap pointed to fill his place. The presiding officer explained that the object of the meeting was for the purpose of completing a Temperance Union, and devising means by which the cause of temperance may bo promulgated in the upper portion of South Carolina. The meeting now being ready for bus iness, the Committee on Constitution and By-Laws asked for further time, which was granted. On motion, it was decided that the or ganization shall be known as the "Pied mont Temperance Union." Reports from subordinate Divisions were next called for, and several report ed their meetings well attended and the Divisions in a most flourishing condition. The report from Broadaway Division was not so encouraging. L. P. Smith, M. P. Tribblc and J. N. Vandiver deliv ered short addresses, and urged upon tho members of Broadaway Division the ne cessity for contitiued action. The Speak ers said tho great good which bad been accomplished by this Division and the loss the ueighhor! ood would sustain by its downfall, should incite its members to renewed activity ; and that thc proud old temperance banner, which, like a beacon star, had pointed out thc way of safety, should never be furled. The delegates from Honea Path invi ted the Union to hold its next meeting 1 with their Division. Upon motion of | M. P. Tribble, the invitation was accept ed, and the meeting appointed for the third Saturday in November, at 7 o'ch ck p. m., at which time Revs. S. La? ?er md W. A. Hodges were elected t rlJroat the Union. On motion, it was ordered it the proceedings of this meeting . sent to thc County papers and Temp?rance Work er for publication. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. M. C. Pa UK ER, Sec. pro tem. - The Charlotte Journal- Observer says : Strange things are always happening, and a medical gentleman of this city tells us of a remarkable case that came under his observation last week. A. lit tle child in au adjoining county some time ago swallowed a grain of oaU with out its parents' knowledge. Shortly afterwards the child was taken sick, and notwithstanding the attention of the physicians it continued to grow worse I and declined in health rapidly. A few days ago a painful sore spot came on the child's side, and shortly after it was no I ticed the child's parents wero surpised to I see a grain of oata come out through the I sore place. Since the oats came out of the side of the child, its health at once began to improve, and the inference is that its illness was caused by the grain. This is a case for cogitation by the med ical fraternity. - A man purchased a niano for his daughter recently, and the, other day called on the agent and rT-?*1,-f. know when the "forte" would be delivered. The piano had arrived all right, but the "forte" bad not yet been sent. THE SOUTHERN CONT MIRUM. lin? tn ItreoiK it? Kl?'?' feil? s Willi Cu.ul Uuv?rmiittiit< /?V,.iii tl,, Scu- York timi*. T?e following correspondence between ex .Governor Chamberlain, of Sont li Car olina, mid tin- late President Garfield, after the election, but befor * the iiiaugii ration of the latter, as Chi if Magistrate of the nation, throws a great deal ol' light upon the policy winch President Garfield would probably have pursued toward the South hail he been permitted to live lo thc close of the term for which he was chosen. Tho late President'? views of Senator Mahone and his dal liance willi llie Republican party of Vir ginia ure also very clearly intimated. Tlie correspondence will be read with special interest by all who have followed the course of events in thc South since the return of thc Democrats to power in i 1.S7G : I j ^ NEW YOHK, December 23,1S80. To the Hon. James A. Garfield, Men I tor, Ohio-Dour Sir: To address you ? a letter at this time would 'je thc last thing 1 should have thought of doing except for the long-continued and evi dently sincero urgency of some of my friends, both at tue North and South, who seem to feel that 1 am qualified to give some correct information, aud pos sibly sume valuable suggestions, upon what we cull the Southern question. I assume one or two things at the out set. Por instance, that there is no prac tical or constitutional method of revers ing, even if we would, what has taken place siuco 187(5. I menu hero the over throw of the Republican State Govern meuta at the South by the violent ant armed attacks of ?he white Democratic agencies. Wise or unwise us the aclior of tho present Administration may liavt been in this respect, we have nothing I now to do but to Icok at things as the] j are. I assume also that it is with us i perfectly indisputable tact that the righ of suffrage in most of the lately rebel lious Stute?, so far as respects uegroe and Republicans, is systematically viola ted and trampled upou as thc means o continuing thc political control of tin white Democrats of that Beet ?on. I as sumo, too, that such a denial and disre gard of that great right, to say nothiiq of the attendant crimes of murder, in timidulion, persecution and ostracism cannot but be a national evil, so fa affecliug the welfare of tho wjiole couti try as to cause it to justly assume th proportions of h great national issue o question. - * * Another position I hope may be ai sumed in this discussion, namely, thu the end to ho reached is a free suffrog resulting in g^ood government. To st cure u free sufirage is not enough. Tba alone will leave the great motive b which the white Democrats of the Souti have heretofore professed to be guided tbc only excuse that can bo urged fu their conduct-that the freo suffrage t the negroes is not compatible with lolei able local governments. On this poir let us not be wanting in candor. Th former ascendancy of the Rep?blica party of the South was attended h gross abuses in most of the Souther States-abuses so gross as would hav awakened the highest degree of discoi tent in any Northern State. As a instance, I may say, as I was couipellc at the time to say, that my own strugg as Governor ot South Caroliua wi almost wholly with tho corrupt elctnen of the Republican party, elements open! organized for and bout upon public plui der. I abato nothing of what I thc said on this point. 1 never could Inn been induced to bland as a candida again in 187G, but for the retisou thal folt that the overthow ol' free suflruj was, in the long run, a greater evil tbf what I tell could be made ouly the ten porary evil of bad government. In the light of past events I say it not worth our while, to attempt the tai of restoring free suffrage to tho Soul unless at the same lime wo can mal sure to a reasonable degree the prev lenee of good government with tho rc lona ion ot Hie Republican party power. Laying higher considerulio aside, it would burt the Republican par more lo bear again the odium of tl former Southern State aud local Gover meuts than the loss in Electoral vot I and Congressional representation, whii is the result of tho lain election. Pra ncally, therefore, the problem must free sutfrago with good local goveromet If I am right in this conclusion, then cannot be wrong iu saying that such result points to the necessity of bu?di up at the South, by all the lawful age cies which we can employ, either citizens or officials, a Republican pai which can be trusted to give the peon good local government. Recognizing, then, tho task as bei what I bave set forth, the proper inqui is, bow eau it be accomplished? I ca not, of course, go into details he Negatively, I may Bay, the true com will be to avoid the methods of the pa to steer clear of the mistakes of fora Administrations. If this is too vagi then I say, as a fundamental propositii that thc Administration must leach t lesao as it has ueyer yet been tauj at tb outh, that no partisan zeal, partisan services, no courage or fortitt in standing by tho party, can ever qu ?fy a man to any degree for public ot! unless be baa also a cell earned char ter for honesty and capacity equal to i full discharge of his public dut together with a just title lo good rep in the community where he lives or n be stationed. I thus qualify tho r because I know well that there aie ca in tho past and present bitterness Southern politics, whore men are nounced by whole communities as i cala and thieves for no cause but tl political action or sentiments. At same time it in true beyond dispute t the South during tho last twelve yt has constantly Butlered from the prese of Federal officials whose personal cl: acter was not good, but grossly bad, i on whose integrity no man could rely private matters, ft would be difficult exaggerate the extent of this e Party services, so called, have seemed bo the sure and only sure pathwoj office. * * * If the President shall, by bis choie Federal officials at the South, say o for all tbat no countenance will be gi -nothing but stern opposition-to combination or scheme for foisting tho people corrupt, incompetent or re objectionable officials, the beginning be made of a Republican party at South which can be trusted, when i ccssful, to give the people a fair govi ment. If this is to be done, no presi or seeming emergency can be allowe< make an exception to the rule. Pi dent Hayes's indifference (I really ki not what to call it) and Secretary S man's Presidential ambition i sufficed to place or retain in office at South a number, I fear a large num of officials who ought to be weeded with all dispatch-men without cn character, capacity for official bush or other claims to Federal recognil Such men dishonor any party, anc matter at what cost of tem >ora ry po 1 cal favor their dismissal, with lin? true causo assigned, is tIto lir>t political duty which lies before the incoming President if he would assume tho gnat ta?k to which I believe nod trim ho i* call i I avoid ull names and details herc be cause, having no enmities, I do nut wish to subject myself in your mind to the possibles imputation of any but di*iutcr esled motives in what I write. Nor is there any occasion, 1 think, for th? President lu be deceived tx* t>> indi vidual*, liiere are men in every Southern State, upon whose Maternent?' he can rely, who will gladly join in this work td' purification, for they have lung ugo learned by their own experience that the primary CHUMS ol Republican overthrow at the South were thc corrup tion mid incapacity of the local Govern iiienis mid lite aid and countenance given to thc worst elements of thc party through the constant appointment and support at Washington ol worthless ad venturers to Federal olliccs. The South ern white people could never have been roused to the madness of 1S7<? except fur the real grievance of corrupt and oppres sive local government. Al tho same lime that this general policy is pursued, : the existing laws for the protection ol voters and voting should be enforced by all practical means, and other laws, il within constitutional bounds. should ht passed to secure the saine end-. Much actual success in this pian may not come in out- year, or in ono Admin I istration, but I mu persuaded it wil . never come unless we work toward th( result I have named. Facts ottttveigl ; theories, and facts have taught mo Ilia ; tree sutl'rage cannot be practically main taincd at the South, ii it can anywhere unless it results in tolerably good loni government. Federal statutes, Federa forces of all kinds, alone cannot com pass it. Many unexpected opportunities, doubt less, will arise during the coining lou years for promoting these ideas at tb South. There is a spirit ot revolt am disintegration abroad there. Thor are just spirits and ambitious spirits wh chafe under present Democratic abuse and ways. If tho menace and porten of rascally local government can he re moved, these men can rome forth nu champion sonic new movement. Ad van tajje can be taken of al.l causes of di. content, provided thc discontented en proclaim a union with the Republican to be the path to better local govern ment. In such a matter as this it is necessary I think, ?rst to frame some general ide of the situation, and (ix upon some gen eral plan of action. 1 conceive this t be true in a high degree of our Southe question. 1 should have but little coi dence in any President's success i bundling this question unless 1 felt tin ho was working to some conscious gei eral end hy some well-chosen geueri methods. Details eau be considere? specific information can be gained whet ever needed, but a general plan is til indispensable first requisite. I take leave to say one thing in coi elusion more personal to myself. Tl: policy I have endeavored to sketch bei is the policy which, ns (Jovernor < South Carolina, I endeavored to onion from 1S74 to 1876. ll barely failed I rob the tierce Democracy of any pr?te: for the revolution of the latter yet through tho action of the Legi-lature i the judicial elections ol* 1875, over whit I bad no direct control, and where, wil all my exertions, 1 failed lo influence tl action o? thc Legislature. This disiist was the ono turning cause ol' the gre uprising of that year against the rule our party, Purely political causes ope alcd also, but the masses of tue whi pcoplo of South Carolina could nev have been persuaded to oppose my i election, but for the acts of a Repub cun Legislature in denying to them d cent government and officers. In tho great ?ight which followed I gulf bctweeu the white Democrats ai tho Republicans became wide ami dee but this eau bo said that no Denioci has ever to my knowledge charged t with any dereliction of official duty the discharge of my duties aB Govern? though tho Democratic victory was fi lowed by us fierco a storm of persecutt as almost ever attended a political re\ lutiou in any country. With the grei est respect and confidence, 1 remain yo most obedient servant, D. H. CHAMBERLAIN. II. MENTOR, OHIO, January if>, 1881, Dear Sir : Yours of the 28th Deco ber carno io baud while I was abst from homo, and the great pressure work bas prevented the acknowledgint of its receipt until now. I have read your letter with great i tercst. Your clear nnd vigorous nnaiy of the Southern question is of gr value. I have no faith in any sudd cure for our troubles in that dlrectii Nothing but wisc and right melho pursued patiently during a series years, can give ui free suffrage und I necessary compl?ment, good local gi ernment. On one point I should like your op ion more fully. Does your analysis the situation cover the apparent im pugnable hostility of the Southern De j ^crats to tho Republican party of I nation? If the South treated the ? tiona! Administration with the respec deserves they would greatly modify t soften the feeling of our Northern p pie; but they pursue the Republicans Congress with the same spirit which them to denounce tho local Kepublii governments in the South. Hie met? you suggest of building up a sound publican party in the .South by exel ing from positions all unworthy pera is unquestionably a good one; but w tho antagonisms and jealousies wh have so abounded among our friends tho South thc selection of such oflii is very difficult. 1 shall be glad to ceiveany HUggestions you may bo will to make at any time. Thanking you your letter, I am very truly yours, J. A. GARFIKI.I The Hon. I). H. Chamberlain, ? York, N. Y. III. LAW OFFICE OF CHAMBERLAIN, CARTER & EATOS 346 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, Jan. 24,188 My Dear Sir: Your courteous knowlcdgmeut of thc receipt of my lc of December 28 and your reply to same was duly received. The Southern question interests m greatly, the prosperity of our party, through that the prosperity of our wi country, depend so largely on ita ' treatment, that I have been anxiot) respond to your suggestions and ino ies. and nothing bas prevented me f doing so at an earlier day except previous engagements. Referring then, first, to your inq whether my analysis of the situatio tho South includes the apparent < hostility of the Southern Democracy the Republican party of the natid would say that if I understand you, mean to inquire wbe'her I include bitter hostility shown by the Soutl Democrary toward the Republican p of the cation as among tho results ol I prevalence of corrupt a uti oppressive local RU vcr ii tu? ::'.s under Republican rule at the South. 1 answer that, to a great extent, t do not. One of the great iii Iii - cullies at ibo outset of reconstruction, and, indeed, al all times since, bas been ? ibo natural and inevitable repugnance which a Southern Democrat has felt to ! ward the party which abolished slavery and suppressed secession. The gulf was, and tniir-i have been, originally wide and j deep bet ween ibo whites at the Solidi speaking of them ns a ?hole and the Republican party at the close of the war. 1 remember well that with the mostean ! lid and open-minded of this class, whose ! acquaintance i formed from !86<) tu 1868, thu feeling toward the Republican party was one of unaffected dread und distrust, "Can there any good thing como out ol Nazareth?" was their sincere thought, With others the .'cling was ol intense hatred, boru of humbled pride, ol crushed hopes, of lo^t fortunes, of dead friends. Such, without further elabora lion, wa-* thc situation essentially ami originally. Now, the thought 1 intended to pre cent in my former letter, was in substnilCl this : That if the Republican purl} could have presented itself lo thu boult under reconstruction ns tho party no only of free suffrage mid equal civil arti political rights for nil, bul also of hones ami efficient administration of looa allan*, levying tuxes, and expeudiiij public funda wisely and economically promoting all public interests rogardles id" party or color ; in a word, giving t all the people n local government Ilk thal of Ohio or New York or Massachu setts, then the course of thc Rep?blica party ul the South would huvo bee onward and upward to tho completo rt moval ot the distrust of thc latter cia* and to tho gradual extinction of lin bitter hatred of which you speak, an which does distinguish Ibo Souther Democracy now from any other politic) (actor in our politics. In other words, my profound and ut doubling belief, bused upon all I kno of the Soulh, is that bad local govert meut at the South is responsible, not fi the origin, bul for tho continuance i great degree of that peculiar politic) bitterness on the part of Southern Den octals to which you refer. Hut for bu local government I believe ibero woul to-day be comparatively lillie difl'creni in feeling between political parties i the South ami the sumo parties ut tl North. This was my thought, mid ti: argument from il was this : That druin things ns they are-a solid Democrat South, free suffrage utterly prostrated tho imminent dungcr of all our gre national interests, economical and mor - thc only plan under which thesu r suits can be reversed and tho lundamet tal principles of our Government r stored to supremacy at the Soulh is ll building up there of u Republican pur which shall have a just lille to tho co lidcucc of all the people thal its adve to power will bring or continuo goi local government. If such u result eau be reached, tl relations of parlies ut tho South w again be normal. Thc Humes of rune will have no fuel to feed upon. Pol i I it differences there will bo us hero, de und earnest, but not rancorous, destru? ive of all social amenities and deadly." beg hero lo ssy with emphasis that wholly agree with you that there can no sudden cure for the Southern diseai Wise and right methods must first adopted, then pursued patiently and ti falteringly, in thc largo faith of Abt hum Lincoln thut "(jud bas so ma Illings here that right is might." Heg right, I would say, master the probb so us to seo tho end from the beginuii work consistently and unceasingly, li upon line, precept upou precept, cot dent always of Gnni results, mid ll huge Southern hindrance to uuiioi honor mid prosperity can bo remov? Pour yours will di-scloso much progrei eight years will give to the faithless rv glimpses of thc coming victory. W that realizes tho real naturi! of ibo ti can ask lor more? You justly remark that the policy excluding unworthy persons irom oil at thc South is unquestionably a gc one, but that the antagonisms and jc ousies which huve so abounded ame our friends lhere make tho selection good officers very ditlicult. If I apr. cinte ' ny thine, lo its fullest extent I this. Hut if the plan is a wise and rij one, especially if it is the only plan tl it is right to pursue, there is uo aller live but to pursue it, with such succ as may bo possible. I really do not think that if the < of a President is single to the select of respectable, und competent Repul cans ul the South, und if ho asks tho of men actuated by like motives whoill lie can lind some, if not ninny, each Stale -thc difficulty will bo by ll means insurmountable. It will rcql great wisdom und caution, bul not mt I believe, without fluttery, than President-elect possesses. Your letter bus caused me to ref anew upon the main idea I expressed my former loller, namely, that wo u: build up a new or new sort of Kenn can party ut ihe South, and to do I niusl uegin by practically showing Soulh of both parlies, in Ihe appol I metil of Federal officers, what we m by good government und good adm; trillion, and ? desire to say again that convictions remain unchuuged, utiles bo that I am more deeply convinced ihe correctness of tho view taken, an am here, led to add that in my judgn one special sourco of danger in deal willi tho Southern question is tho ar rent readiness of many Republican: espouse and aid tho causo of anybod tho South who breaks with the reg? Democracy, regurdlcss of thc merit his cause. A preguant illustratioi what I mean may be seen in Mabo cuso in Virginia. The basis of Mano party is Repudiation, the refusa! lo public debts unless they aro reduc?a what bo calls "the ability of tho pei to pay," with even that standard sut to future changes to correspond with varying "ability of the people to p Now, to countenance Mahmie under stress of so-called political ad van tau. necessity, as I believe Mr. Jewell Mr. Gorham did iu the last camps and as some prominent Republicans now advising, is to betray and dishi our party aud tbe cause of good gov ment, which is above all parties. Di by far aid the regular Democracy Virginia, who on this issue are corni, ti ve ly honorable. Suppose Mahone say he is in favor of giving the Kepi raus their rights, he is only in favo this provided he can gain greater pt cal power thereby for himself and faction. Ono steady principle-thee of good government at the South-i guide us, and we must be as read denounce and oppose repudiators offer us political power or rights as t who deny them. There will be other temptations ol sort. 1 pray heaven that our poli leaders may havo the grace to turn a car to such blandishments. If Rep cans pre called on to take any pa local Democratic quarrels lot their p Le the only wiso policy of honesty. But I must not prolong this lette um deeply gratified that ruy former letter hun int? rested you. My whole object, as 1 said in that letter, is thus accomplished, and I shall now have the satisfaction of knowing that I have not failed to do a duty which my friends have regarded ns of some importance to the future welfare of our party at the South, and thus to thc prosperity of our whole party ami country. Reiterating my willingness sud desire to do anything in my power ? to aid you at any time in the work which we have now discussed, I remain yours, ? very sincerely, 1). II.

I urge you to give mo your advice at all times, and assure you you will not annoy mo by so doing.

UAIIFIKI.P. Atti* IN LOUISVILLE. Iii- Aclu an IMIildln Man tor Itv? Matin fruln!u'(! Ilodlca. Atilinta Qmitittition. Home is thc best place I know of. I is right good for a mini to tnke a littli trip oil' now and then, just, to lind ou what home is worth to him. It is pleas ant to go ami more pleasant to conn back. I di dent stay bul a day and i half in Louisville. The committee win were appointed to receive the Georgi legislature asked me to go to the depo willi em nt G o'clock in the morning, am piny middle man mid introduce em ni round, which I did, when suddenly the found out there were two colored law makers in the crowd, and the committe didetit know what to do with em. Th darkey is the problem wherever he goe -thc unsolved problem. "Put em in carriage," said I, "und send em to a col ored hotel.'' Well they did HO, mid i was all right and ngreeable. I iooke round for my old friend, Colonel Foatei the member from Floyd-the horn hnnded farmer, tho hard working man ille old soldier who never broke down a wilted in the wnr and went to digging s soon os it was over ; who takes lifo ns h fiudfl it and never complains. "Whet is Foster ?" said I, but nobody scenic to know. Ile wns with 'em they Haid i the car and got off when they did. M Jones, of Harlow, came to me nnd wini percd UH a great secret that the colon? was all right and would be on bund in few minutes; that the colonel was a mn of habits, fixed habits; that he nevi could eat his breakfast until ho ha called hogs; that he had just steppe over the corporation line to call bog and he heard him calling 'em a lilt while ago. And sure enough thc colon came up directly pulling and blowin and got in the omnibus and told tl driver lo roii on bia cart for ho was nott erful hungry. Some folks want a pi| or a chew of tobacco as poon as they g up in the morning, some want a cup coffee and Home n drink of whiskey, bi tireen Foster says there is nothing equ to calling bugs to clear out the cou-we and wake up the stomach for vittels. After breakfast I matched with tl l?gislature tn the chamber of corumer where Home elegant gentlemen showen a big lot of taffy upon the boys und Ca tain Fall ?gan t and Colonel Jones ai Colonel Hoyt and others threw a big 1 back at 'em, and they kept on fialterii one another until somebody said the e croises would have lo close as tho assoi ation of distillera was to meet in tb room at 12 o'clock. Colonel Jones tb rose forward and seemed to understai that Ibo distiller.^ were to give the bo another reception-a wet ono-ai remarked that the boys wero bourb dem?crata and they got elected by sti hunting and would be delighted to mt the distillers. Tho chairman turned palo and si til ul the gentleman misunderstood b as to the distillers, and was about explain further when Colonel Jones bi ged his pardon and seid that if there w any mistake about the whisky he hop it would be rectified and not fall bel tho wido reputation that Kentucky ' joyed for the pure article. Ue said t legislature were rejoiced to find the co miltee of reception in good spirits a hoped tho association of distillers woi bo BO too, and more abundantly. C speakers showed off pretty well and sc tered their sparks around promiscuous They were good looking men too, s seemed to be aware of it ; that is, all them except Senator Hoyt, who bet by apologizing for the scarcity of hair the top of his head, which he should ; have done, for it is a sign of old age, t old age is honorable, and it ia a sign t be exercises his brain more than jaws. Well, they adjourned in due time, i marched away somewhere, with the t ored brethren in the rear, and I saw th no more for I bad business elsewbi Tho night before their arrival I vlsi the grand exposition, and was deligh with the wonderful show. In some speets it fell short of the Atlanta exp? tion, but it was more extensive and I ter arranged. They had more room display ; they had more works of i art, more costly painting? and statni The art gallery was magnificent, t the music of Gilmore's band the fine ever heard. If I was rich enough would buy that band and make tb play me to sleep every night. T played a medley of the national arr all countries and wound up on Di with variations which lifted us rebels up a few inches higher and expan our swelling bosoms and exalted Southern pride. The exposition is lt ted in a beautiful park, where beaut trees and evergreens abound and fo tains play, anti eleotrie lights throv georgeous brilliancy over the scone. together, it is a sight ut to bc seen. A ?ight ihut will educate mid reline the people. It is a Behool thal will tench more and better in a day than any other in a month. A sight that the children ought lo see and they will never forget. It will muke them happy for a long time and givo them a new and nobler ambi tion. I nm glad that so many are going ibero for I waa told that tho visitors average twenty-five thousand a day. Circurses aro good for fun and county fairs for frolic, but these expositions are developers of ideas, stimulants of the mind, pleasing instruction that docs not weary or tiro. I wish everybody and everybody's children could go. They have their day for Stale.* and editors and legislatures and committees receive them and do them honor, but I could uot help wishing there was a poor mnn's day and tho poor man wns nblo to g". Railroad fare is cheap, cheap enough,only a cent a mile ; but Inc greatest trouhlo ?hat I ob served was in finding a place to Btay when you got there. Three hotels shook their heads at mo sorrowfully when I asked for quarters, and nt last I hunted up a kinsman whom I kucw was already crowded, and ho gladly tonk mo in. A Romo boy ho was who fought through the ?vat for patriotism and confederate money, and then got a clork'a place in Louisville anti worked his way up, and is now* a partner in a house selling three millions of dry goods in a year. Kin folks are a mighty pond thingespecially when you find 'cm rich and you tire afar oiT from home. I left that night for home, ind for fear of not gettiug a berth with Mr. Pullman I went down to the depot et ten o'clock though tho train wns not to leave until twelve. I wus too late, for tho berths were all taken. The little old dirty gen tleman's room (that ?B to say tho dirty littlo room for gentlemen,) was crowded, not u sparo seat left, so I stepped into a car and reclined my head upon my valise, and was beginning to ruminate when n white-capped fellow carno in and ordered me out and locked tho door aud said that passengers would not be admitted in tho enrs until twclvo o'clock. I poked around the miserable old hull of a depot, and finding no piuco took an humblo scat on tho platform of another car and began to ruminate again. Directly tho samo white cap carno ulong nud said that platforms were not made to set on, and asked mc whore I waa going, mid I re spectfully informed him that it was none of his business. The minutes seemed mighty long, but in due timo tho door was opened and I got a seat nod wo all hud to double, and a big fat mau doubled mo, and the train moved oil'with a hitch and a jerk, and at every station it hitched and jerked worse than ever, and the old engine shrieked awfully and filially caved in, I reckon, for we got to Nashville four hours behind time, and the Chattanooga train hud Ielt us, and wc were all a sad looking and homesick ctowd. There are two depots at Nashville, and they aro nearly as poor apologies for public ac commodation an the one at Louisville. You may talk about thc great Louisville and Nashville with its powerful combi nations nnd vast capital, but there ?3 not a railroad in Georgia that wouldcut bo ashamed to have such depots und Blich accommodations. Atlunta is a paradise to them. In fact, I know of no city in ?ho South where the comforts of tho traveling public aro sc considerably guarded. 1 know of no railroads as well managed us ours. I felt relieved when we got aboard at Chattanooga, for I knew that all was right. I reached home just before day on Sunday morning and found my folks about half asleep, dream ing of blood and murder and the gallows, aud it was some time beforo Ihey would let mo in, for nigger Bob, who is a ten ant ou my placo had a bloody fight with Step who is a tenant on nnbor Freeman's place, and Bob had split open Step's head with an ax nnd then beut his skull all in with the poll of it, and Step wus dying and the doctor had put all the brains back be could fiud and Bob had run away and was bid under the house, and the excitement among the negroes was very great, and their wives and chil dren were wailing around, und so my womon folks couldn't Bleep and had been up most all thc night. Ou iuvestigatiou next morning I found that Step lind ac cused Bob of swindling his children in weighing their cotton, and Bob had called bim a liar and used other lauguage too tedious to mention-lhat they went to town and renewed the quarrel and come home late ot night and quarrelled again, and Step went nt Bob with a knife and diden't havo uo knife, and Bobweut at Step with nu ux and dident have no ax, nothing but a stick and Bob struck the first lick and Step struck the first lick, and Bob was u runnin from Step all Ibo lime and Step was a ruuuin from Bob. I could hear it most any way from the two sides and the outsides, and all day Sunday the darkeys gathered around aud discussed the situation. Well, it is very bad. for Step was a good old-fash ioned negro and bis wi fe a model of neat ness and good behavior, and they have ten well behaved children aud a lot of grandchildren. I think a heap of those old fashioned uegroes-the old family servants. They are passing away fast enough without beiug killed up, and the new set arc on the decline. Uncle Remus and his sort havo gone into his tory as a lost race, and we ne'er shall sec their liku again. BILI. ARV. ALL THE QUALIFICATIONS.-A well known young man of this city applied to a prominent wholesale firm for a situ ation as traveling salesman. "Have you ever had any experience in the business ?" asked tho merchant. "Well, not exactly." "Have you ever traveled much ?" "No, sir." "Do you intend to follow this for a steady business?" "I can't tell, sir." "Then why do you wish to become a drummer, and why do you think you would be a success as one?" "Because I've more 'cheek' than a gov ernment mule. I am the biggest liar on earth, I am on the'mash,'lam chuck full of smutty yarns and lean play poker and compare a catalogue of crime with the wont of thom."
