Cleveland vs. the Senate. The action of President Ci.wvu LAND in refusing compliance with tho unjust and illegal demands Ol the Republican Senate is heartily commended by all holiovors itt our system of constitutions! Govern ment. In placing himself in op position to tho senate, tho President has shown not only u through knowledge of tho constitutional re quirements of his high ofllce, but also the firmness to maintain and transmit unimpaired to posterity its dignity and Independence at all hazards. It is a bold step, but tho time has conn? whoo the will of tin4 people as expressed In tho ( lection that confered the appointing power upon Governor CbliVlSLANl), should bo superior to the whims and intri gues of a party that could stoop so low as to<fecu* the Presidency. The gigantic fraud of '7(3 has not been forgotten. By and with tho advice and con sent of thc S?mate, the President can exorcise the appointing power; but, the nature of our government requires that the Chief Executive should exorcise tho power of sus pension in his discretion. This right must remain free and untram elled. No charge of abusing the trust has been made against tho Presi dent and tho action of tho Senate in demanding the private papers and documents for the purpose of reviewing suspensions, is open to but one explanation. lt is evi dently s bulldozing scheme, tho ob ject of which is to keep Republi cans in oflico. No ono (daims that the public service requires it, but lt is dono for thc good of tho He publican party alone. A Demo cratic President to be bossed by a Republican Senate would be bul little bettor than to bo counted out altogether. Purpose of the Organization. Sonic weeks ago we expressed grave doubts as to the sincerity of thc movement which has been or ganized with Capt. B. It. TILLMAN as lender, for thc purpose, ns it is claimed, of benefiting the funnels. Since then we have watched every movement, and from tho indica tions so far, one can scarcely doubt but that Ibo whole thing was or ganized for political purposes. Wo see not the least objection in hav ing organizations for farmers all over the country, indeed, wo favor this, but let thom organizo for thc purpose of benefiting themselves and their neighbors by discussion of agricultural matters, and seek to protect the agricultural interest if it is not protected. But when ono man comes forward and makes a wholesale denunciation of all existing institutions and seeks"; to turn the farmers against every other class of citizens, and because they hold the balance of power, seek to over-ride tho rights ol* nil other citizens and capture tho govern ment, we must enter a protest. The government is for the people. of*"the people and* by the people, and it is a .bud feature of politic? wjhten one class combines for tin purpose of forming a monopoly. Wo advise farmers to organize clubs, and although we doubl flu good faith of tho present call for organization, it can bo turned to good account. Join, not to bo lead blindly, and used as a political tool, but as men of intelligence lo do nil that will benefit you rsi ive-, without Injuring the rights of oth ers. Fnlly one-half the ills of lifo are imaginary. Speak to a man now adays, and in nine out of ten cases tho first word he utters is a com plaint about something. The far mor, merchant, lawyer, doctor, me Chanlc, all have their complaints t< make, and instead of looking upon tho bright side Of life and offer Infi a word of comfort and encourage ment, how many men make their own lives more wretched by brood ing over troublo, and also tho lives of thoso with whom they come In contact, by pouring into their oars a talo of woo. Wondors In Georgia will never consol It now happens that a "re liable" gentleman has picked up a live Ash during a storm, on the pub lic square, that cert ni ni y carno from some stream, upon whose banks no human foot has trod. Tho Specialist. Tho Import anco Of concentra tion of. purpose, In order to accom plish great ends, 1ms always been recognized. \n old proverbamong tho Greeks, was, "Ile who does ono thing ls terrible." In this age, the i mun who Hits about frotn ono thing to uno)her, with no fixed purpose, no definite end in view, ls apt to make lib' n failure. Few men have the mental capacity or thc time, to make a success of more than one occupation. This is un ago that demands, more perhaps (bun any other, that men shall thoroughly understand their busi ness ami bend nil their en?rgica to wards the accomplishment of its demands. But the schoolboy must not sturt out With the iden that he ni md .'Indy only those branches thal will: bc "uso fu 1**1 n ofter life. Here is thc rock that lins spill ninny a promising cruft, lie who knows only how to manage n ease, doctor tm eye or mond n shoe, und knows nothing else, ?s scarcely more than un animated machine.

Their mental horizon should not bc clouded mid hedged in by thc exclusive study of one particular brunch of learning. In order to "wrest from life its uses and gather from life its beauty," one must needs study the works of nature us well as nrt-tho beau tiful us well ns practical.

Town and County Factory Exemption. MR. EDITOR:-"Will some of your many county correspondents tell me what this means. I nm nt a loss to divine. If I am wrong I hope they w ill correct mc; if 1 am correct I hopo they will sustain mo and go about hunting a relief for tho evil: On pages 42 and 13 of the Coniptroller-Oenoral's Report wo lind tho assessed volution of lands in ?Laurena County to bc ($1.81) four dollars and eighty-font cents per acre.

This seems strange to mc under thc protection of three Boards of Equalization. Bul wo have thc remedy now nt hand. Cor the present wo must bring tho town property upas thc levy is made, or after this, carry tho personal und real property down. This will cause only a levy, of more or les-, mills, as the scale ls turned up or down ns tho approximation of equality is at tained. Again, w ill some oito.poinl out why wo should have 'threo Hoards to Equate real and personal property, viz: Township, County and .Slate Board of Equalization, and only one, and a State Coard, at that, for Railroad property in the various Counties. This looks wrong. It looks like swearing three fellow-; to prove your innocence, and assuming another's Innocence without proof. It is arrogant, at least, and tho principio is danger ous because it is on leo bro;.(I a gunge, especially since WO pay sn ad valorem tax: and it seems to mc in that case, j ti-i as it is with other property, that the citizens Of the county in which such property lays would bo the bosl judges of its value, ami it ought to bo subject in all fairness to thc County Board. Possibly, it may bo a preference given to such interests, like that given to manufactories, that they may protect themselves; but w hat, I ask, is to become of those less favored who stand accused und iced these three witnesses, just wince and trudge on, poor fellows. Now this manufactory business always seemed a str?nge contra diction to me. We clamor against i Federal tariff and enact a Btato tariff, tn open defiance to the State ( 'onstitution, w hich proscribes what property shall lu; subject and wdial free of taxation, and descend to tho lowor scale of rebate, which ls eva sive and wrong, both in practice and principle. Better see it in its truer light. No enterprise tint cannot carry ?ts own just burdens) will ever succeed. It is Just like a lazy man, who wears the charity of a community only because it is not known that he ls lazy. LOOK EU ONV -The late Clea.

Captain Studing, of ?bj? strueomy: Mercury which at Chicago recently, ; tells un exciting story of the inar-1 velous osenpo of n seaman who was washed overboard in Lake Michigan dining a storm. About midnight a tremendous sea struck tho vessel, which was laboring heavily and carried John Anderson over tho side, ll was impossible to round lo, and his companions gave bim up for lost. Captain Sterling, who was nt the wheel, was thunder-struck a few minutes to sec tho man holding on to the port (?mirier fender and endeavoring to climb over the .-.ide" Captain Sterling sang oui to the mate lo take the wheel, and rushing to thc fender rope, reached over ami pulled Anderson on board. Tho man Anderson says that thc sea which washed him over bond carried him about fifty feet from thc vessel in the direction in which she was sailing. He is a swimmer, and when ho came upon thc cres! of tho wave he could sec tho vessel's lights shining faintly through thc driving snow storm and struck out ns bcstdio could to get as near them as possible. In his life and death struggle bc was materi ally assisted by the undertow, or back sea, which'being strong, drag ged him back to thc vessel. At this moment another wave swept over him, and ns he came to the side of thc surface hin head struck against thc >ido of the schooner. Ile retained his presence of mind and began reaching for tho fender '. Fortunately he succeeded in grasping the last one on tho port side sud was helped on board more dead than ulive.

A Roman nose was a sign of corageous temper and a disposi tion to face and overcome difficul ties, while a more strongly aquilino nose was an Indication of rapacity; the idoa hoi nig evidently borrowed from Hie similarity of this descrip tion of beak to thal o' the eagle, tho most rapacious of birds. Tho snub nose showed little character but much temper, While tho (?reek nose, even, straight and regular, was a sign of the tomperment of tho owner. Large nostrils indicated good lungs, health und long life, while swelling; nostrils allowed a war like spirit and fire. A very ?.harp nose was considered an edu cation of a busybody, whilc.ajdunt ness ut tho end of this member was an outward sign uf tho possessor's mental lack of acuteness.
