We a:ready see signs of bicker ing sand strife in the remnant of the Republican party in this state, '"A house divided against itself cannot stand,' Collector Jonas with his 300 employers will not occupy the granite building much longer. Andrew Hero or some of his orowd will come in for the spoils. Ve p,'resume that the nThr c. .Democrat and "Statec " are now satisoied, since Gibson's appo;nt ive power, will be taken from him by the new President. There is talk ot Henry Gradyof too Atl rnta Coasi;.4tion, a tinning for the U. S. Senate. Henry G e'ady is good on a Foutl!h of July ora tion or in responding to banquet teastce but the'people of Georgia are mistaken if they erxpet to find Ben Hill's brains in Grady's head. There is one thin, that men of learning and lntelligence are as a rnld eepecially guarded about, end that is never to disp.er:'ge thoe' who n:e inrerior to them in this respect. The oeitor of the Ca:l. grathi, certainly fo got this ele ment of -greatness when,bhe wrote a certain parn'graph in his paper of last week. The New Orleas police bill hes been declared unconstitutional by the District Conrt of that city. I However defeetive this bill may be from: eonstitutional standpoint it wasagoeo law for N.-O.

We all adlmit that this was ia Waterloo to the De:nocrat.ic par Sty, and to the South, but the Swar'm patriotic blood that fired the soutt;ern hearts to build up our waste places and restore cur lost fortunes twenty yeas ago, still courses in our veins and our Dem ocr.ts will not stop to bemoan the situation as those of little faith in the final ;i'umph of their c:ause. As a matter of course there will henceforth be a great chanue in the policy of the governmenr of the nation. It is claimed by soinme of the leading Republicans, that Harrison will be conservative in I his methods of governing, that his idecs of civil seivice being closely akin to Cleveland's, theic will not be such a sudden revolu' tion in the political afiairs of the country as anticipated by many. But us for our part, we fear the result, and the oracles of the Democratic party tremble to dle clare the sequence of such a de feat. Their prime object will be to bring about just such legisla tion as w:!l serve to perpetuae the reign and power of the Repub icatn party. They have al. eady declared their intention to pass an act admitting into the t nion the territoiaies of Dakota, Montana and Washington, which wou!:' give them six more senators and about fil.cen congressmen. It is Salso the r purpose to pass the pauper pensioA bill which will de plete the treasu y of the su.pius and create a demand for more t-: ation and prolong the existence of the robber taril. Their ability to do these things may seem plausible, from the fact they have a majority in both houses of con gress, but that majority will be so small, with the Democrats well organized, it will be no difficult matter to defeat all such corrupt legislaktioii. Whc:tever may be the policy of the new president, unless its to visit us with the days of recon struction and uidel take to ad win!ster our home atFai:s from federal avu.hority, we, of the Sun. ny South, can sI.nd it four years, at the e~rpirati~an of which time, some man, a deliverer, will be call ed out of the gre.t atmy or Dem oc;ats who will lead them on to tr:amuiph nud vlctory.

So when the C;:y Hotel was idiled tile great moving mass of hnum.niy C was left to grope its way in mud and in darkess. Some fortunates found their way to the homes of f'riends, some to the hospitable mansions of the stra:.ger, but ma ny there were, who like the Son of e man, had no place to lay their t heads. This latter cL,,s stood I oabout: walked around, and drank t it down, till welcome morn releiv ed them, when many shook the Shrevepart mud from their feet to retu;r no more.

The Ruston Ce!.rc ih has got its "enfullments" up and sails into the GUAoI;DAN with out gloves. It magniies a mole hill into a mountain and assumes that this paper has made a personal on slaught against the Rev. J. A. Parker. Now one of the editors of this paper has doubtless known the Rev. J. A. Parker quite as long as Mr. Pearce and has as much respect and confidence -in his integrity and pati iotism as anybody. 13ut when a man of-his ability and ind;nence steps out of one political partly into another i! it supposed that those who dif'er with him will pass the matter in silence without comment? How. ever able and pa'riotic he may be, the Rev. J. A. Parker is still 'a modtal man and liable to err in judgement and when he enters the arena of politics and publishes his l(olitical creed-and the reasons. therefor, it should give his prol-. f bition friends no oense that his views are subjected to the sticti est examination anm the ,most.o thorough discussio;.

The sudden removal of this lovely girl from our midst, by the Great and wise Ruler or the Uni V i verse, has cast a deep gloom over Sthe entire community, and opened e a wound in the hearts of her lov 0 ing parents, which can only be i. healed by the reunion in the Par. t adise above. She was an only child, and the o angel spirit of her r leasant, beau e tiful home. From the cradle up v to the sad hour when death sum d moned her to a better and purrer s linme, she had the guardian care f of a tender father, whose heart e glowed in sympathy wiith the ev ery desire of his idolized child; F being the personal center of his r hopes and happiness.. To the 1 food mother no rose was so lovely f c as her smile, no path so flowery as that imprinted with her foot.steps. e The sweet name (Clara) was so entwined 'round her heart, that heart, must cease to throb ore she a fo;'et it. The aaffectionate paren s tal dislipline thrown around her, Srfailed not to develope m, ny ad mirable v!rtues in her character, ahichtia e forcible impressions upon her associtces.. She drank the full d auaht of the mothers Slove, and enjoyed her undivided counsel and companionship. They spared no pains to form her. on a correct model, to make her aim; - able, wise and good. While her heart was young and tender, she Intrusted it Wta loving savior, and at once rose, chlisian gr'aces sprang forth from a mellowed soul so well prepared by the hand of a christian mother.
