At tho y>emocralic caucus iu Washington ma the 8?h of April, Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, offered tho .following, wflth the request that it be lead and laijj ou the table, for action at a future ca tcus : Resolved, ^Tluit the aims and objects ot\ the Democracy of tho United States, as far as we, chosen b o them as members of the preseut Honje of Representatives, are entitlecnnto be considered as the true ezpoui-ijits of those aims and ob jects, are (Creeled with a singleness of purpose Ito the restoration of constitutional liberty, and with it the restoration ?>f peace, harmony and prosperity throughout the length aud breadth of tws land. They ;i(ljui.-> the renewal of section al strife. TMey accept all tho legiti mate results &f the late lamented war. They are uuierly opposed to the re vival in this county, or any part there of, of African slavery, or any other kind of slavery or involuntary servi tude, excep^ as a punishment for crime. \ They stand pledged to maintain the Union 'of the States under the Constitutional with all its existing amendments as they shall be ex pounded by the Mipreme Court of the United State-", They are against all unconstitutional or revolutionary methods. They are v for law and order aud the protection of life, liberty aud property wi'Jhout respect of persons or social couditious. For the redress of all grievances they look alone to the peaceful instrumentality of the Constitution* First, the law-making j?n^*or: im.-^J'' tt??? Iniv.nrpnu ruling power; :hii/l, the law-executing pow er, and finally the ultimate sovereign power of the ballot box. They are for a free ballot as well as for a fair and just count. \\ bile they arj opposed to a large standing army, as were tho framers of the Constitution, yet they aro for keeping the army sufficiently largo to repej invasion, defend our exteo five frontier as well as all necessary interior forts an 1 garrisons, and to enable the President to put down doiuist'(^violence or insurrection in any of the States, and in aid of the civil officers as a pos:c comilatus in the execution of legal process in pursu ance of the Constitution and as pro vided iti the acts ol Congress of 1795 and 1807. Hut they are utterly op posed to the use of the military forces of the United States in controlling or iu any way interfering with tho freedom of elections. They are for the maintenance of the public credit inviolate, but are utterly opposed to ihe increase ot the bonded ilebt unless the exigencies of war should reudsr it necessary. They are for retrenchment of expenditures, lessening burdens ol taxation, aud a thorough reform in the present un equal and unjust method of raising a revenue. They are for placing tho coinage of gold and silver upon the same footing, without restriction or limitation upon tho amount of either. They are for reviving the languishing and perishing industries of the coun try by an increase of the volume of currency founded ou a sound basis, sufficient to meet the urgent demands of trade iu every department of labor and business. Ihe Exodus of tho Negroes from the South?What it Means. Those who remember how, ten years ago, an ignorant negro enthus iast got together a largo crowd of fol lowers in Spartanburg and started with them across the mountains to "The Promised Land," are not aston ished at the presont movement by which thousands of colored people are to give up homes in the South to go in search of bettor times in the Northwest. Not only are your ox Cougrcssman Rainey and other lead ing colored statesmen in favor of it but the white Stalwarts, including that incomparable pair of Chandler*, Old Zack and Wm. E., see in it an opportunity to hurt the Democratic party aud give aid aud comfort to the Republicans. I have met South ern men who see hi it nothing but au Utopian scheme which is to affect only the negroes, but othors with more foresight say it is a wicked poli'ical trick. Ti.ey start with the declaration that the Radical mana gers care not a straw for the bodies or souls of the negroes, and now meun to use them only for political objects. As stated by him, these ob jects are as follows : First, to de prive the South of population, and hence of congressional representation, and, secondly, to enable them to be judiciously distributed iu Ohio, Judiaua and other close Western States, so a 3 to make them Republi can in 1880. A Massachusetts Demo erat goes so far as to declare that under the guise of sending them to Kansas they are to be colonized quietly into Connecticut, New Jersey and New York. This looks as if Old Zack iL- Co. had given up the South nnd were turning their attention to a solid North for Urant. While Rainey says your colored \ eople arc anxious to leave South Carolina and seek homes in the West, a leading white citizen of your State says : "Well, let them go, and joy go with them." It creates merriment that Zack has offered 40 acres aud a mule to one hundred that will settle on his laud. ? Wushington Cor. Food for Oynics. After four mouths of marriage, Rev. Joseph Cook, the famous theo logico-scicntiiic preacher, delivered some remarkable discourses upon matrimony, lie could And in his own prodigiously onlarged vocabu l:\rly no language ample and for cible enough to d. .cribe that ecstatic condition, lie promised moreover that he woo d publish a book upon the same subject, embracing much more than could be embodied iu a sermon or scries of them. The cynics, who mistrusted the wisdom and ex perience ol a newly married man like Mr. Cook, were curious to see what changes hud come o'er his dream and which would be evidenced in the promised volume. Now it begins to look suspicious. Mr. Cook's book has not been published, and tho cynics aforesaid are asking the reason why. They boldly insiuuato that the great philosopher of four months of bliss is not the aame man after the expira tion of more than a year. They whisper that Mr. Cook, being au hon est man, considers it best not to pub li.-h that volume, iu that he has had cause to modify some of his rapturous llights. Wo are not prepared to be lieve this. We prefer to think rather that Mr. Cook has been too happy at home to write a book on matrimony. At this reasoning, however, tho ill natured world laughs, aud fio, in self justification, Mr. Cook may feel ob liged to fulfil his literary promise and dedicate it to his spouse. Colonel Mosby, the reconciliation consul of President Hayes at Hong Kong, China, seems to have taken with him into the court circles at his official residence the mannors of the saddle in guerrilla warfare. When invited to the mansion of the English Governor General aud requested to appear in regulation dress, he startled ed the English dignitary by notifying him that he would see himself in the heated region that Bob Ingersoll so vigorously disputes before ho would dnss in any other way than he liked, and that as the representative of tho United States he proposed to illus trate American manners before the benighted English and the hoathen Chinee. The result is a wail of com lern of our now Hong Kong consul, and the reconciliation policy of the President is in danger of a set-back by the systematic assault of the stal booter. If Hayes wants another efficient Graut man at work iu the countiy ho should recall Colonel Mosby.?Philadelphia Tim**, plaint about, tho social warts against th eX'Coufeuerate free* Satisfying His Patient Common sense generally recom mends physicians as well as other men to popular favor, but there are exceptions where something uncom mon is better received. Tho Iloosiers listened to a speech of General Jack son, but would hardly be satisfied, that he was a great man till ho shout ed a striug of Latin phrases, "K pluribnt unum," "Midlum in parvo" "Sine qua non !" and then they rent the air with wild hurras for him. A nice invalid was evou harder to satisfy than tho Hoosiera. The first physi cian in his case was discharged be cause he was honest enough to tell him that he had a sore throat; and the second doctor, having some hint of the fact, answered the sick tnau, when questioned, that his case was highly abnormal, aud had degener ated into synanche tohsilaris. "Oh, doctor," cried the patient, "do say that word again !" "Whv, sir, I said you wero at pre sent laboring under synancht tonsil aris. ' "Why, just think, doctor, that fool old me I had nothing but a sor* throat, aud I told him I had no use for such a dunce. Doctor, what did you call it ?" "I told you, sir in plain terms, that the morbid condition of your system was obvious, and that it has terminated in synanche tonsilar?." "Oh, doctor, it must be a monstrous bad complaint? Think you can cure me doctor ?" "Now, though your diaguons is clear, your prognosis is doubtful; yet I think, by prudent care and skillful treatment, you may recover." ''Oh, well, doctor, doBtay all night, and I will pay you anything you ask." He got well of his sore throat, and paid the doctor a generous fee.?Pot ter'* Monthly. Tho Register on Depopulation. This paper, it seems to us, ta^es eminently just views of this mottor. The South can never be depopulated by any geueral hegira of her colored citizens. If any can go, we bid them God-spr.sd to Liberia, Kansas or any where else. They can never be a controlling element iu legislation. If they are to be a bone of contention and keep up the line between tho North and South, the sooner thoy depart the better. Such campaigns as we have had destroy not only tho material resources of the State, but degrade the whole moral tone of our people. In 1879 we surrendered business and all else to politics. In 1898 very much the same course was pursued. Labor was demoralized; money expeuded; industries paralyz ed, and, wo repeat, worse than all, ruinous habits entailed, especially on the young. Then, in the name of reason and common sense, let all dis satisfied darkies seek a more congeni al clime, where the carpet-bagger reigns and tho woodbino twineth. And it will be true economy to help them go.?Ninety-Six Guardian, A Grocer's Trick. A grocor bought four chests of tea I at a bargain of 25 cents per pound. They were all of tho same quality or brand, but as his customers wante.l a variety of prices he accommodated them, and marked different packages respectively 25, 50, 75, and 81 per pound. After awhile Deacon 1 comes in to buy tea. The grocor give? him samples of each price to try. Tho next day tho deacon re turned, and rendered his decision as follows: ''That 25 cent tea is a very fair article for the price; tho 50 cent is much better; the 75 cent tea is ex cellent, and the dollar tea is a very superior article, 1 can assure you. But I can't quite go that figure, bet me have 10 pounds of the ?5 coni tea." He was accommodated. How grocers have chinged eiuce then.
