A Georgia court has just made a
railroad pay fifteen dollars for kill
ing a clog. And now the Georgians
are tying all their stump-.tailed curs
to the track and sitting calmly by
awaiting developments.
It is alleged that great frauds have
been perpetrated heretofore in the
contract to supply postal cards.
Many of theso have weighed only
four pounds to the thousnud, in~
stead of six, while the paper has
contained twenty per cent. of clay
in it instoad of ton, thus causing the
cards to blot. The brother of As
sistant Postmaster General Tyner
is implicated, as ho was general
postal card inspector. The new
cards will be of two colors, and of
much better quality.
.Evarts on the Rampage.
Secretary Evarts is preparing a
letter upon so-called Southern out
rages, in which he will define the
position of the administration, and
set forth the duties demanded of the
South. A recent lynching in Mis
sissippi, in which the daughter of the
offender was mortally wounded in
'defending her father, will furnish a
text for this pious homily. Other
lynching affairs will receive com.
mont, and possibly a full dish of
Southern horrors will be presented.
Now, all this is well enough. No
one deprecates more than the law
abiding poogrle of South, the sporad
ic deeds of violence occurring at long
intervals within her borders, and a
sharp reprimand from the State
department directed against lawless
and turbulent spirits will not be
amiss. But Secretary Evarts should
not stop here in his self-imposed
task of roformation. A modicum of
censure would not be out of place
nearer home. For every outrage
occurring in the South, a crime of
equal horror is chronicled in the
North. Fifteen "Molly Maguires"
are now under sentence of death in
Pennsylvann' for murdering certain
parties wvho were obnoxious to their
.organization. Not more than ten
days ago, sixty non-union workmen
wore brutally poisoned in Illinois by
striking miners whose places they
had supplied. A few months since,
isix Chinamen were murdered in
Butte county, California, by a so
eret society, their crime being solely
that they were Chinamen and
worked for a fewv cents less a day
than the r ate established by Cauca
sian laborers. Moreover, in the
pious1 commnniuties of New England,
whero the people thank God that
they areo not as other men are, it is
not an iunusual thing for husbands
tosapto death the women they
have peiul wr ttomr
riago altar to love, honor and cher -
ish.
Why Seetary Evarts should sin..
gle out the peop)1le of the South wvho
have been taught by the outrageous
.legislation of his own p)arty to rely
upon themselves for redress of in
juries, while, like the priest and
Levite of old, he passes by those
who have been set uponOu and foully
wronged in the highways near his
own home, is a question that others
must answer. To the people of this
section it is but the manifestation of
a spirit of unfairness either on the
part of the Socretary himself, or of
the Northern p~eople, to whose big
otry and fanaticism he must p~ander
im order to retain popularity.
We had fondly hoped that the
removal of the troops from the
Southern state houses had put an
end to the cry of negro persecution.
Ae we to be still dosed ad nl*~aea
wth old rehashed and revamped
falsehoods ? Will Secretary Evarts
spare us 7 or, if he will write, will
hatleast be just, and deal alike
with thme Southern Ku-Klux, the
Northvn Man u~a.. te
LEGISLATIVE PROOEEDINGS.
FRIDAY, May 25.
SENATE.
The Senate bill to provide for the
interchange of circuits by the circuit
judges was returned from the House
with some important amendments,
which were concurred in, and the
title of the bill then changed to an
act.
The Senate then proceeded to
consider the case of Mr. J. M.
McCay, who had refused to deliver
up the memorandum-book of the
Republican Printing Company. His
lawyer, Mr. Maxwell, after some dis
cussion, gave up the book, and the
Senate postponed action on McCay's
contempt till Saturday.
The appropriation bill was then
taken up and discussed.
Several bills, of no general interest,
paused a third reading.
Adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Several bills of minor importance
were read a third time passed and
sent to the Senate.
Mr. Orr, from the committee on
Privileges and Elections, reported
on the case of Prince Martin, from
Fairfield, that the protest against
him had been withdrawn, and there
fore the jurisdiction of the commit
tee was at an end, but that a new
protest had been presented on the
ground that Martin was a bigamist.
The committee asked to be dis
charged.
Mr. Gray presented some written
affidavits :is to the matter.
Air. Hamilton said that Martin should
be allowed to take his seat on presenting
his credentials and purging hiinself of his
contempt. He said that ho thought the
charge of bigamy might truly be brought
against two-thirds of the meubers of the
House.
Mr. Blue said he did not wish the
House to put itself in the position of
seating a -member this session, and of
finding himl in the penitentiary when
they coie hero next session.
br. Gray said that the House had a
right to protect its own purity, and to
exclude men who were grossly ininoral,
<ven though they were legally elected,
and that Martin had forfeited any prima
facie strength his case might have by his
having been a member of the revolution
ary Mu' okey House.
Mr. Connor said the H:uso could not
act on a question of character till it was
settled by the courts. As to the protest
onthe ground of unfairness in the elect i in,
it was not before the House, now that the
protest was withdrawn.
The resolution to swear in Martin
was then adopted, when he appeared
and raid: "I beg the House's pardon
for my contempt of it last fall" He
then presented his credentials and
was sworn in.
The bill to alter the fence law was
discussed without action.
Adjourned.
SATURDAY, May 26.
SENArLE.
On motion of Mr. Corwin, Mr.
Meetze was released from his agree
mont to "pair off" with Whittemore.
.A number of bills, of no general
interest, received a third reading
and passed.
The Senate then proceeded to
consider the app~ropriation bill,
which was discussed up to the hour
of adjournment.
HOUsE OF REPREsEN'3ATIVEs.
Several bills and joint resolutions
were introduced, read by title and
properly referred.
The report of the joint committee
on thme Charleston delegation was
made the special order for Tuesday,
May 29.
The resolution to authorize the
governor to app)1oint a trial justice
residecnt at Blackstockc was adopt
ed:1 ordered to be sent to the
governor.
Tao bill to alter the fence law
was taken up. This bill authorizes
the county commissioners to submit
the matter to the voters of the
c >un)i i s Hlorry, Marion. CJolleton,
Beau fort, Charleston, WVilliamsburg
and Georgetown wvere excepted, and
the bill then passed to a third
reading.
Adjourned.
The Edgofleld Advertiser says:
"There is a coal-black negro man in
our vicinity who will soon have a
beautiful white stomach-a stomach
covered with as pure, white, Demo
cratic skin as ever grew in E"dge
field. This no doubt sounds both
ridiculous and alarming, but we
will explain. Some weeks back, Dr.
Walter Hill and Dr. Wallace Bland
cut off from the stomach of this
negro a huge tumor weighing many
pounds, and upon the large bare
spot left by the operation they have
planted numberless little stars of
skin nipped from their own arms.
These stars have taken root and are
fast spreading out to meet each
other, so that, as we have already
said, the black man will soon have a
beautiful white Democratic stomach
-at all events on the outside. Science
is wonderful--and in this case noble.
Skin is about all the Radicals and
negroes have left us, and to be thus
generous with it is certainly
magnanimans."
NEWS OF THE DAY.
Snow is still falling in Massachu
setts.
Georgia will vote on the 12th of
June on the question of "Conven
tion" or "No Convention."
It is said that Radical politicians
now concede that Pennsylvania will
be carried by the Democrats this
fall.
President MacMabon has ordered
Don Carlos, a claimant to the Span.
isl throne, to leave; France at once.
It is said that the American offi
cers in Egypt have refused to go to
Turkey to fight the Russians.
Ex-Governor and Mrs. Hendricks,
of Indiana, will sail for Europe
about Juno 1st, intending to renmin
abroad during the summer.
An English company with large
capital is now organizing for the
purpose of shipping beef and mut
ton direct from Norfolk, Va. Cattle
and sheep will also be shipped.
The Memphis A valanche sup
poses that Proctor Knott and ;Con
gressman Whitthorn are opposed to
Hayes because they are opposed to
the Texas Pacific Railway.
Olive Logan writes from London
that the Hon. Judah P. Benjanin,
formerly Secretary of State of the
Confederate States, earns one hun
dred thousand dollars a year, and
could earn more if he could put a
legal oxtension on the twenty-four
hours.
The Czar has assumed command
of the Russian army on the Danube.
The news from the war in Europe is
full of minor details, but is neither
definite nor interesting. The 1i6s
sians have postponed for a while
crossing the Danube. Martial law
has been proclaimed in Constantino
plo.
It is intimated that the recent
conference of the secretary of the
treasury with the members of tho
syndicate in New York was the first
step for the suspension of the fur
ther issue of 44 por cent. bonds.
This change will not take place
before the close of the fiscal year, at
which time the contract with the
present syndicate will terminate.
A negro killed a white lady in
Georgia on the 1 th of April. He
was arrested, tried, convicted and
sentenced to be hanged. On the
16th of May, after selling his body
to the physicians for three dollars
ho was executed. The husband of
the murdered woman stepped into
the ordinary's office that same day,
got a license for a second marriage
and then attended the hanging. A
pretty good month's work for
Georgia.
The Russian minister, Mr.
Shiskin, at Washington, in answver
to an inquiry from Senator Gordon
upon the subject of receiving for
eign surgeons into its service, states
that the Russian government admits
into its service only such surgeons
as are graduates of Russian universi
ties, or have concluded their studies
in the government medical institu
tions for the education of surgeons.
The New York Timnes is getting
more outspoken against the Presi
dent's policy. The complaint, it
says, is not groundless or unreason
able ; on the contrary, it reflects the
impression produced upon honost
Republicans of the more radical
type, and is undoubtedly shared in
strong Republican States to a
larger extent than sanguine sup
porters of the President have been
willing to admit. It says that the
two States of South Carolina and
Louisiana are irretrievably lost.
But it holds that to quarrel with the
President will but injure the party.
MR. BEECHER's ADvICE ABOUT
H~OUsEKEPINo.--r. Beecher, after
sprinkling twenty-six babies Sunday
before last, advised young people
when they married to set up house
keeping for themselves. He would
not take any consideration for the
three years of his life when he
settled down in the immortal county
of Dearborn, town of Lawrenceburg,
in Indiana, where he was paid at
the rate of $400 a year. With $200
of that money ho came East and got
married. After he and his wife re
turned to Indiana they lived in two
rooms. Whlat furniture they had
was given to them ; and, continued
Mr. Beocher, "If I was put upon my
confession, I should say that I wore
Judge Burke's clothing." The
clergyman somewhat humor'ou sly
described the home and his battle
for life, and feelingly added:
"When I look back to those happy
years, I wvouldn't part with them
for untold gold." He continued
that it was a great mistake for young
people to imagine that they must
defer marriage until. they might
secure wealth.
WVhat is thai difference between a
delinquent pziinter and a mad land
lord ? One kampsa the track and
the other tracks the tramp.--Car..
los Mn
A variety of White Kaol ine, ro -
sombling the famous Turkish Moot
scbaun, has recently been discover
ed near Morganton, North Carolina.
A pipe made of this material is an
improveInent on the old Powhatan
clay.
Mr. Redfield, having said that he
knew of a newspaper man who never
drank liquor, the Courier.Journal
says, "But he would touch it, you
know, if the keeper of the prison
would lot him."
Popular suffrage in Italy is some
thing of a fraud. The people of
Italy number 26,000,000. The oleo..
toral body does not consist I of
more than 500,000. Of these 250,
000 refuse to avail themselvos of
what they consider a sham. Hence
"the will of Italy" is represented or
nisreprosented by 250,000 men.
A GENEloUS SoRT 01' MAN.--Georgo
Francis Train has become quito
h trdened. He says to the Boston
lobe : "I was sitting on my bench
in Madison Park the other day,
feeding the sparrows, when a bog
gar caine along and asked for alms.
1 refused him, when, in a most pite,
eus tone of voice, ho declared that
he was starving. Still I refused
'him. 'If I do not have food,' said
he, 'I shall die.' 'Very well,' said
I, 'I recognize your right to die. Go
fertilize the fields ! Why should I
rol the earth of its compost ? How
dare I cheat the globe out of a
corpse ? Iii disappointig you I
please a million pismires, who thank
me anticipatively for my generoua
denial. Leave me !'

TiE ANSON IAnI)Y PAPER CUrrEn is by
far the best machine which can be ob'
tainled for a loss price than one hundred

machines have always taken the highest
stand. It is the only machine to which
is applied the Patent Movable Cutting
Board. This device has a reputation - of
itself: by it, the cutting board can be in
stantly and accurately moved, so that a,
perfect cut is insured. This is a very in
portant point. in the machine, and one
that is possessed by no other. It greatly
reduces the labor of'preparation in work
ing the paper hitckwa;rd .ad Iorwnrd.
