THE COMMU CAMPAIUS.
We publish this morning an extract from
the address of the Democratic executive com
mittee of Alabama. This extract should be
read by every Tennessee Democrat, as it ap
plies with equal force to all southern Demo
crats. In commenting on this address, the
Montgomery Advertiser says: "Demagogues
may deride organization, but trace their
derision to its source, and it will be found to
spring from disappointed expectations. Men
of such high-born expectations as to brook no
party trammels, may be heard sowing the
seeds of discord, tint it will be found that
their independence is due to the fact that the
people were independent enough to rebuke
them when in pursuit of some cherished
scheme or office. It principles are to suc
ceed, organisation must prevail. The neces
sity for thorough organization ought to be
patent to i every intelligent man whose
heart is true to the principles of the party.
Without it there will always be a multiplicity
of candidates, discords and heartburnings.
The men who oppose organization must
necessarily look to the enemies of the party
for success, and in secret must be identified
with them. The men who fight Democratic
organisation are putting clubs into the hands
of the enemy with which to belabor the party.
With the committee we earnestly beg our
friends everywhere to work together. Let
the elbows touch. Frown down all divisions
and put the seal of condemnation upon those
who seek to divide and distract your coun
sels. Let every man do his doty, stand by
his party, its platform and nominees, and
victory is ours." Profiting by the ringing
words of this address and the example of our
Alabama friends, we hope the Democracy of
Tennessee will be inspired with a determina
tion to organize and secure that victory which
our friends elsewhere are struggling for, and
determined to achieve. In disco swing the
coming campaign the New York World says:
"The result in New Hampshire confirms the
warning given by the skirmishes in this State,
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Iowa,
that the Democrats must not go to sleep over
the congressional elections of I87S. Though
the removal of the troops from the southern
States assures as that the popular Democrat
ic majority in that section will secure its due
representation, we shall have to work against
gerrymanders in such States as Ohio and In
diana, and may lose seats in Tennessee, Illi
nois, Missouri, and the far west. The con
trol of the house of representatives in the
next congress, in which the Democrats
will control the senate, is important to pre
vent any repetition in 1881 of the deadlock
and electoral commission performance of
1877. Only Democratic folly or treachery
can lose the Presidential election of 1880, and
it would be Democratic, folly of the wildest
sort to let the Republicans go into that con
test with the prestige even of a drawn battle
in 1878. Radicalism must be disabled this
year if it is to be finally ' struck down two
years hence. The Republicans are fully
aware of this, and they will spare no effort te
bring every voter into the field next autumn."
COTTOX MANUFACTURE AT THE
SOUTH.
If with all her advantages and facilities the
south should fail to establiah cotton manu
factures, and finally to export her yarns and
fabrics instead of the raw material, it will as
suredly be her own fault. The Bouth can not
only become a successful rival of the north in
the manufacture of cotton, but she can have
an exclusive monopoly of the business which
has enriched the north. We have often re
ferred to the success of Georgia in the manu
facture of cotton, and we cannot refrain from
doing so again when we find 6uch facts and
figures as are contained in the Baltimore Bul
letin, of the twentieth instant. A correspond
ent at Columbus, Georgia, furnishes that pa
per with much valuable information, and
says:
The contiguity to the raw material, the
adaptation of the climate, the cheapness ot
motive power, and the low rate of wages are
considerations of the ' most vital character.
So far the production in Georgia has been con
fined almost to the coarser class of goods,
from which a common inference is drawn that
that latitude is unfavorable to the production
of finer fabrics. This would seem to be an
entirely unwarranted assumption, the truth
being that, in all pioneer industries, the ruder
products are made first, while the finer are
forthcoming as the business become more
fully developed. The humid, warm temper
ature of Georgia should be even better adapt
ed to the production of fine yarns than that
of New England, where they are now main
ly produced. May it not be worth consider
g by some of our most enterprising printing-cloth
manufacturers, who are so closely
pressed by competition, whether it would be
possible to gain any advantage by the trans
ference of some of their machinery and hands
to this or some other section of the south?
The object of this correspondent is evident
ly to invite the attention of eastern capital
ists to the advantages offered by the Spragues,
of Rhode Island, which firm, more than ten
years ago, and long before their failure,
bought some of the most valuable water
power in South Carolina, with a view to be
ginning! manufacturing there. The corre
spondent shows that the factory labor at the
south is exclusively white, native born and
obtainable at wages that are thirty-three per
cent, less than those paid in New England.
The climate allows eleven hours a day labor
the year round and saves fuel, clothing and
expensive dwellings, while at the same time
it contributes materially to the superior qual
ity of the yarn manufactured. Georgia has
a State board of engineers, and they report on
streams examined by them (representing so
far one hundred and ninety-seven water-powers)
a total theoretical horse-power, running
twenty-four hoars a day, of one hundred and
ten thousand horses. This by no means
represents the total power of the State. The
Chattahoochee river, at Columbus, has a fall
of one hundred and twenty-five feet in two
and a half miles. Coal of good quality is
mined at several places in Georgia, or is to be
had very cheaply from Tennessee and Ala
bama, and is laid down at the factories for
four to four and a half dollars per ton. The
Jaw of Georgia exempts all manufactories of
cotton goods from State, county and munici
pal taxation for a period of nine years, in
order to promote the establishment of this
tort of industry. The result of all this is seen
in the fact that there are already forty-seren
cotton-mills in the State, some of which have
a capital of over one million dollars. There
are eutht mills in Columbus, one company
having sixteen hundred looms, with an lm
mene productive capacity. These mills have
all the recent improvements, and they enjoy
the signal advantage of having been built
and equipped at hard-pan prices, instead of
at the inflation prices of 1866-70, as was the
case with so many New England factories
that are now practically insolvent. , As to
operating expenses, the eerrespondent saysi
TVin nhlmt and most successful manufactu
rer in the State, who is still at the head of
the above company, and has beeu engagea
in the business for over a quarter of a cen
tary, estimates that the mills at Columbus
have an advantage of one and nine-tenths
cents per pound in the cost of raw material
over their northeastern competitors, and that
for a large mill of sixteen hundred looms this
advantage amounts to over nine per cent, on
the entire capital, or one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars per annum. This is nine
dollars and thirty-one and one-half centa per
bale, estimating the annual consumption at
twelve thousand nine hundred bales of four
hundred and ninety pounds each.
The Augusta mills made an average of
eieven uuuuicu-nu hilars nr
loom during the last six months, and Ihe best
authorities agree that small mills, with a cap
ital of, say, one hundred thousand dollars,
are still more profitable than large ones, and
will average a profit of twenty per cent, upon
the investment. The correspondent adds:
In almost any locality in the State cotton
can be gathered from the field, ginned at the
mill, and before night of the second day be
manufactured into yarns, or, partly at least,
into cloth; the cost of baling, bagging and
ties being saved. In addition, the cotton is
presented to the preparatory machines in a
loose, flocculent state, tar better suited to the
manufacturer than that which has endured
for months the violent compression necessary
for economical shipment. A bale of cotton
weighing five hundred pounds will average
in the mills of Europe about four hundred
pounds of goods, ana the consumer will be
charged with all commissions, storages,
freights and insurance on twenty per cent, of
the original weights, which is useless waste;
while a bale of yarn shipped from a southern
mill will yield the same weight to the con
sumer without any waste whatever. Our
factories can be supplied with cotton at one
cent less per pound than the New England
factories. The two items of purchase of cot
ton and sale of fabrics at home will give a
profit of two cents per pound on the cotton
thus consumed. Transportation facilities are
ample. The cost of water-power, steam
power, building materials, fuel and subsist
ence is less in the south than any other part
of the United States where cotton can be
manufactured. While New England has
ceased to compete with the south in the man
ufacture of coarser yarns (No. 14 and under),
southern mills sell heavy sheetings at six
and three-fourths cents per yard, shirtings at
five and three-fourth cents, eight-ounce os
naburgs, of fine finish, at nine and three
fourth cents, and make money. Can any
northern mill do this?
ALABA9A DKMOCKACY.
The Democratic executive committee of
Alabama recently met at Montgomery, and
issued an address, from which we make the
following extract:
Fellow-Citizens We are about to enter
upon another political campaign, the results
of which cannot fail to exert an important
influence upon the material, social and polit
ical interests of the State for two years, and,
perhaps, for a much longer time. The
wrongs we endured, the injuries we sus
tained, the indignities to which we were
subjected, the disregard of the public inter
ests, and the profligacy and crime which
charactered ltepulilican rule in Alabama for
more than seven years, are all too fresh in
the recollection to require that we be warned
to exercise that vigilance which is "the price
of liberty," to avoid the recurrence of
similar calamities, which would cer
tainly follow the defeat . and overthrow of
the Democratic and Conservative party in
the State. It is not probable that the party
from whose rule we have suffered so many
evils in Alabama will again meet us in an
open contest under its old name and organi
zation. What it cannot hope to accomplish
directly, it will seek to effect by indirection.
It will next be felt in an attempt to create
dissensions in our own ranks, and if we meet
it at all, it will probably be under the banner
of 'independenti8m," or some other specious
chiguise. In wn at ever shape it may present
itself, our sacred duty, as well as our most
important interests, demand that we should
crush it. "lie that is not for us is against
us." No man can be considered a good
Democrat who will deliberately place himself
outside of our organization and attempt to de
feat its chosen standard-bearers. The essen
tial object of our party is to carry into the ad
ministration of the government the policies and
principles upon which it is founded. Internal
dissensions never fail to weaken a party, and
often render it an easy prey for its enemies.
If our party is defeated, from whatever
cause from dissensions within, or by an
open foe without the essential object of its
existence is also defeated and antagonistic
principles are apt to become the policy of the
government. - If any further argument be
necessary to induce a firm adherence to our
organization and principles, we have but to
contrast the administration of the State gov
ernment for a httle more than three years
East with the calamitous period to which we
ave referred. Since our party was restored
to the full and undisputed control of the gov
ernment much good to the people has been
effected. A new constitution emanating di
rectly from the people, in lieu of one fastened
upon ns by arbitrary force, has been estab
lished. The legislative power to tax the peo
ple has been limited; the pqwer to lend the
public credit or to create a public debt be
yond the capacity of the people to pay has
been annulled; nearly twenty millions of the
public debt created by preceding administra
tions have been swept from existence, the in
terest upon the remainder reduced;
the (expenses of the State govern
ment have been greatly diminished;
public confidence has been restored; our
State obligations, which were worth from
seventy to seventy-five per cent, on the dol
lar, now command a premium in the market;
the gloom that rested upon the hearts of our
people has been dissipated; emigration from
the State has in a great measure abated; law
and order prevails, while peace, contentment
and the evidences of industry, thrift and re
turning prosperity abound throughout all our
borders. Much has been done, much more
has been begun, the full fruition of which we
may hope to realize under the continued rule
of the Democratic and Conservative party.
In view of these undeniable tacts, and manv
others which might be presented, we adjure
you, fellow-citizens, as you value the highest
interests ot the commonwealth, that you per
mit no disorganizing influences to sap our
strength or hazard the continued success of
our party. But the mission of the Demo
cratic and Conservative party is not limited
to the narrow connnes of the btate. J. be
Earty, aa it exists in this State, is
ut a segment of that grand organ
ization of patriots extending throughout the
Union, whose purpose and destiny are to
sweep from power and place the party under
whose malign policy and sway every national
interest has suffered, and the people brought
to the verge of almost universal bankruptcy
and ruin. Wherever the Republican party
has maintained ascendency for any length of
time, either in national or State govern
ments, the history of its conduct of public af
fairs has been marked by the most flagrant
corruptions, and an utter disregard of the
rights, the interests and liberties of the peo
ple. Its long and uninterrupted career of
profligacy and crime found a fitting culmina
tion, at last, in the inauguration of a Presi
dent and Vice-President of the United
States by means of the most shameless
frauds, forgeries and perjuries. But few
men could now be found muny section of the
Union who, in the light of events which
have transpired within the last
twelve months, would have the te
merity to deny that Tilden and Hendricks
were fairly elected in the last Presi
dential campaign, and that Hayes and
Wheeler were as fairly defeated. Ihe repe
tition of a crime so stupendous could hardly
fail to result in the complete subversion of
the government and the destruction of public
liberty. The question then which addresses
itself to every patriot is, shall this great
crime against the rights and liberties of the
people be allowed to pass unchallenged, or
hall the people, through the ballot-box, visit
upon the party which perpetrated it that con
dign punishment which shall answer as a
perpetual guaranty to tne public against any
attempt at its repetition ? Alabama should
be an important factor in the great move
ment to redress the public grievances, and to f
bring back the government to its ancient and
constitutional courses. In order that she may
be effective in this movement, it
is indispensable that she preserve her
alignment with her sister Democratic
Stales of the Union. Any break in our
ranks, however temporary,' any exposed
weakness in our organization, would encour
age the enemy throughout the Union, and
dampen in a corresponding degree the ardor
of our friends. Let us then, with unbroken
unanimity sacrifice, upon the altar of the
common good, all individual aspirations and
ambitions not in harmony with the success
ot our party. Let ub, by presenting at all
times an unbroken front, hold up the hands
of our friends in all parts of the Union, and
particularly in those sections, where the con
test will be deep and bitter and the issue
doubtful. Let us in a word discharge with
fidelity a sacred public duty and we will yet
be allowed to participate in the joys as well
as in the glory incident to the full and final
consummation of the patriot's most cherished
hopes.

'A Barrel of Fat" Succeeded by an
Ambitious Man of Brains.
Washington Post, 18th: Father, Reville,
the eloquent Dominican, whose opinions upon
matters connected with his church in Europe
are entitled to great weight, was sought
again last night for an interview as to
the progress xf reconciliation between the
church and State which the accession of Leo.
XIII seemed to favor. Being interrogated
on the subject Father Reville said:
"Owing to the recent action of King Hum
bert in appointing a bishop, and his well
known, resolute character, I predict a serious
and almost hopeless rupture between the
king and the pope. You see," said the father
in explanation, "it has been the custom, from
time immemorial, for the temporal power to
appoint three candidates for the office of
bishop in a certain diocese. - This was, of
course, before the holy see had been pillaged
of its property and rights by the temporal
power. Now the State has forfeited all its
ancient privileges, which it had from the
church. King Humbert; either forgets or ig
nores this fact. At -any rate, he has assumed
the power of a spiritual nomination, when he
is the possessor of no such power; and more
than this, he has not only nominated, but ap
pointed a bishop. Of course the pope will
not consent to this flagrant infringement of
hiR power, the pope is liberal in his policy,
and perfectly willing to go to certain lengths,
but you know that such a person is apt to be
very decided in regard to a further advance.
King Humbert is greatly different from his
father, Victor Emmanuel. The present king
confines himself rigidly to business, while his
father loved the chase, and left business to
his councilors. The present king is a
bitter enemy to the church, while his
father, at heart, was a Catholic, and the
policy of his reign did not emanate from
him. I remember in an audience I had in
1865 with Pio Nono, in speaking of the king
he said: "Oh, he is only a barrel of fat. I
have no fear of him. He is a good Catholic
at heart and will die a Catholic. The trouble
is with his councilors. I have no enmity to
ward him, and if you remember," said the
father, 'the result proved the truth of that
remark, he did die a Catholic. Now the ag
gressive spirit of King Humbert will greatly
interfere with the plans of Leo Xllf. His
election was the triumph of the liberal party
of the conclave over the ultramontanes. He
is not only the representative of the liberal
party, but he is liberal by nature. I was
talking only to-day with an American lady,
the sister-in-law of Speaker Randall, who
knew the pope quite familiarly when he was
a bishop, and she spoke of this quality as
brought out in his private relations."
"Does not the recent outbreak of the pop
ulace in Rome indicate that the policy of ag
gressive opposition to the papal see is that of
the dominant party in Rome?"
"I do not think eo. There have always
been a few in Rome who were opposed to
the pope. They created this disturbance;
but it is not the expression of either the ma
jority of Rome or Italy. I do not know where
this will end. The pope will resist to the
last extremity the encroachments of the civil
government. The king is determined and
hostile. The outlook is gloomy and the con
summation for which all devout Catholics
have been hoping and praying seems to be
more remote than ever.'

in the sub-treasury, had a conference this
morning with a number of leading bankers.
S. D. Babcock, John A. Stewart, James M.
Brown, Jacob D. Vermilye, Benj. B. Sher
man and George Bliss were invited to meet
the committee in the office of Assistant
Treasurer HillhouBe. A private conference
was held, lasting about an hour, during
which Mr. Ewing asked a number of ques
tions, chiefly in regard to the amount of gold
which would probably be necessary for the
successful accomplishment of Secretary
Sherman's plan of resumption. No definite
sum was named in reply, but it was intimat
ed that the passage of the bill had consider
ably changed the condition of affair, and
that seventy-five million dollars in United
States bonds had come back from Europe.
The examination of all the accounts, notes,
coin and bullion in the sub-treasury by Sec
retary Sherman's commission had been com
pleted, and the only discrepancy discovered
was an excess of thirty-four cents in fraction
al notes. The amount of gold coin sealed up
in the vaults, exclusive of loose gold and bul
lion, was ninety-seven million dollars.

Two Innocent School Girls Brutally
Murdered and their Persons Oat
raged After Death Horrible
Particulars of the Fiend
itth Crimes.
On last Friday Joseph LaPage was
launched into eternity at Concord, New
Hampshire.
THE CRIME FOR WHICH HE WAS HCKO
was committed on October 14, 1875, when
Josie A. Langmaid, then eighteen years old,
a happy, light-hearted girl, left her father's
house to attend school at the Pembroke acad
emy, about a mile and a quarter from her
home. At intervals she was seen and recog
nized until the sixth and last farmhouse had
been passed. She then entered upon that
portion of the road which was skirted upon
either side by woods. While passing quietly
upon her way she was met by her murderer,
-. muiuui giving -tiw nn gtirl a chance
to even make a prayer for mercy, proceeded
to carry out hU hellish purpose. How much
resistance the poor girl made will never be
known, but from the appearance of the
ground on which the remains were found, it
is probable that
THE STRUGGLE WAS SEVERE.
She was not missed until the evening of the
same day. A search was immediately com
menced, and as ic was generally known that
the girl was missing, a large crowd turned
out to aid the distressed parents and friends.
Between seven and eight o'clock the search
resulted in finding the body about half a mile
beyond where she was last seen alive. Her
HEADLESS CORPSE
was discovered in a clump of bushes close by
the roadside, and the ground and leaves for
quite a space were stained with blood. The
clothing of the murdered girl was torn into
shreds, and her underclothing saturated with
blood, her body being badly mutilated.
About eight o'clock the next morning, the
search having been kept up through the
night, the head was found rolled up in a
waterproof cloak, about seventy-five rods
northwest of where the body was found. By
their side lay an oak stick three feet eight
inches in length by one and a quarter square.
The stick was broken in three pieces,
one of which was stained with blood. The
head was cut off clearly, as if taken off by a
large, sharp knife. The spinal column was
severed between the first and second verte
brae. It was the unanimous opinion of the
physicians in attendance that decapitation
was commenced before life was extinct.
When the fact became known, and as soon
as the missing portions of the body were dis
covered wrapped in the victim's cloak, and
concealed in the woods, the public feeling of
indignation was so intense that had the mur
derer been discovered then his lite would not
have been safe an hour. Notwithstanding
the vigilance of the authorities, who sum
moned to their assistance the best detective
skill, the murderer remained undiscovered
untiWhe thirteenth of the same month, when
Joseph LaPage was arrested upon suspicion.
He denied the charge, but proof was gradu
ally adduced against mm, and m March,
1876, he was arraigned for trial before the
circuit court at Concord. The trial was held
in the city hall, which has densely crowded
through the nine days of its duration. Evi
dence was introduced showing that he had
made indecent inquiries in reference to, and
had
FOLLOWED YOUNG GIRLS;
that he had been on the academy road the
day before the murder, and with a stick in
his hand: that he was seen to go by theacad
emy on the morning of the murder, with an
T.on his shoulder. A knife belonging to the
prisoner was proaucea in evidence, ana upon
his overcoat, vest, pantaloons, overalls, and
hat were found spots resembling blood. He
did not take the witness-Btand himself, but
hie defense was an altbt; that is. he attempt
ed to make out by the faulty testimony of
other woodchopperB that he was elsewhere
on the morning in question ; but even their
testimony did not cover the whole time in
which he might have perpetrated the deed.
Among the many witnesses against the pris
oner was Miss Julene Rouse, a sister of his
wife, whom he
OUTRAGED AND LEFT FOR DEAD
at her home in Canada. To her evidence ex
ception was taken, and the full bench decided
it to be another and distinct offense, and so
remote as to be incompetent to show the mo
tive in this case, and a second trial was
granted, which was held in March 1877. and
was also very largely attended. A long
chain ot circumstantial evidence was
wound around the prisoner, and he
was convicted at the second trial, as he was
at the first, and sentenced, the latter time, to

and the cut upon it was caused by the alow of
the stick, tie then took her into the woods
and cut off her head with his knife, carried
the head to where it was found, and then
went to the brook and washed his hands,

then took the highway back to Suncook,
taking his coat and ax with him; got back to
Suncook at six o'clock in the evening. His
wife burned two coats and two caps four or

had no clothes in the house. His wife did
not burn up the clothes because they were
bloody, but because they got into a quarrel
LaPage 's story of the
MARIETTA BALL
tragedy was told as unconcernedly as if he
was narrating a sporting adventure rather
than the commission ot an outrage and mur
der which, for inhuman cruelty, has rarely
been paralleled in a christian community.
She was a most beautiful and estimable
young lady, and LaPage had become fascin
ated with her in seeing her pass by the field
where he was at work in her daily trips to
and from the school. On a pleasant Friday
afternoon in the month of July, 1874, he re
solved to follow her and carry out the base
design which he had tor
MANY WEEKS IN CONTEMPLATION.
He gave out that he was going berrying, and
then went and secreted himself in a piece of

desolate locality on her way from the school
to the residence of Mr. Foster Page, where
she was going to spend Satnrday, a custom of

by observation. It was while passing along
this unirequentea ana lonely road that the
monster fell upon the defenseless girl. He
had disguised himself with a rude mask,
which he had made from an old foot-mat,
but in the struggle which he had with his
victim this was torn away, and Miss Ball at
once identified him. As the fiend tells the
story, she begged him to let her alone, but
HER APPEALS WERE IN VAIN.
Finding that the villain was determined in
his purpose. Miss Ball fought with a desnpr-
ation which can hardly be described, and be
ing of a powerful physique, she gave her as
sailant many severe scratches and bruises be
fore she was overcome. When she had "be
come quiet," aa LaPage calmly exoressed it,
he committed repeated outrages upon her
person, not desisting until long after she had
become cold and rigid in death. But to make
sure that his victim would not return to con
sciousness, he pounded her head to a jelly
with stones, and mutilated and disfigured
her person otherwise in a manner too horri
ble and revolting to describe.
me contession ot the Marietta. Ball mnror
has been received by the St. Albans people
with the greatest eagerness, as it vindicated
the young gentleman who was arraigned for
the murder of Miss Marietta Ball, and every
body interested in these terrible crimes felt
better to be assured beyond the possibility of
a doubt that LaPage is the guilty party.

What dava Viott tt.saa lara nn iha
Old plantation! How vividly you remember
the slightest incident! How picturesque the
panorama that passes before your mind's eye!
Thcrejwas the fox-hunt planned for the espe
cial benefit of Miss Carrie da Compton, the
belle of Rockville. (If we should give the
name of the town, you would abuse us for
exposing you in the newspapers.) You re
member lying in a state between dreaming
and waking as t Aunt Patience, fat
and cheery heaven rest the good
old negro's soul! domes into our room, with
much ado, bearing a steaming cup of coffee.
Curiously enough, you recall almost her very
words as she endeavors to arouse you to a
contemplation of the necessities of such a
momentous occasion as a fox-hunt: "Well, I
declar' ter grashus, ef dat chile ain't layin'
dar yit! Git outeo dat bed dis minit! How
yer gwine ter ketch foxes under dat bolster?
Git up frum dar! Dat young gal done bin up
too long ter talk "bout!" You remember
-what an impression the fair Carrie made
upon you in her trim riding-habit, and how,
when, with one dainty hand holding the
gathered folds of lior skirt, she stooped to
caress your favorite hound, jo lost your
heart utterly. It is all indelibly imprusoM
upon your memory the ride to Sir
Reynard's range, the casting about of the
hounds, the sudden burst of canine mel
ody as the fox gets up right in the midst
oi' the pack, the hard ride at tbe heels of
the hounds for a few moments, and the sud
den inspiration on your part that it would be
well to guide tbe fair DeCompton to a point
near which the fox (an old customer of yours)
would surely pass. You remember how you
vainly endeavored to convince your skeptical
charge that the slight, dark shadow stealing
across the hillside, not a quarter of a mile
away, was the veritable fox the dogs were
after; how your whole frame tingled with
delight when the soul-stirring musivof the
hounds was borne to your ears on the crisp
breeze of morning, and what a thrill came over
you as the pack burst into view, running with
heads up and tails down, your Flora far to the
front, and flying like a meteor! What nights
were the nights on the old plantation ! The
mellow light of the harvest moon crept through
the rustling leaves of the tall oaks, fell softly
upon the open space beyond, and bathed the
brown old barn in a flood of golden
glory, while the songs of the negroes at the
corn pile lusty chorus and plaintiff refrain
shook the silence until it broke upon the
air in far-reaching waves of melody. But,
alas! all these are gone. The moon pursues
her pathway as serenely as of old, but
she no longer looks down upon the scenes
that were familiar to your youth. The old
homestead and the barn are given to decay,
and the songs of the negroes have been
hushed into silence by the necessities of a
new dispensation. The old plantation itself
has gone. It has passed away, but the hand
of time, inexorable yet tender, has woven
about it the sweet suggestions of poetry and
romance memorials that neither death nor
decay can destroy.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Iilberlan Bhlp Azar Consecrated
In the Presence! of 50OO Colored
People Leaders in the System
of Plunder Action of the
Xieajslature.
New York, March 22. A Charleston,
South Carolina, dispatch states that the Li
berian ship Azar was consecrated yesterday
in tbe presence of five thousand colored
people by Bishop Brown, of the African Meth
odist Episcopal church. Several addresses
were made, all breathing a missionary
spirit. Politics were not touched upon.
A Columbia dispatch says the general as
sembly of South Carolina, yesterday, by an
overwhelming vote, and in the face of the
most determined opposition on the part of
those who may be properly called the radical
Democracy, passed a preamble and resolution
directed to the conciliation of the national
sentiment of the country. The preamble re
cites that while adhering steadfastly to the
determination that the leaders in the system
of plunder whereby the resources of the State
were drained shall be brought to well-merited
punishment, it is not desired that vengeance
should be visited upon those who were but
the instruments of the master spirits. The
resolution is as follows :
Resolved, by the House of Representatives,
fh Senate concurring. That his excel
lency the governor be authorized and re
quested, in case he deems it expedient,
to instruct an order of nolle prosequi to
be entered in any of (tho prosecutions
brought, or which may '-be brought by
the State, based upon the facts ' found by
the joint investigating committee on public
frauds.
TELEGRAMS.
Rome, March 22: Cardinal M'Closkey and
Lieutenant-General Count Gerbaix DeLonnaz,
king Humbert's aide-de-camp, have visited
General Grant.
Wheeling, W. Va., March 22: There has
been no decision yet by the coroner's jury in
the Wetzel county triple murder cases. The
feeling to lynch the parties seems to be dying
out and better council prevailing.
London, March 22: The steamship Den
mark, hence to New York, was spoken in
forty-fourth degree north latitude, longitude
forty-eight degrees west, and reported her
rudder damaged, but declined assistance.
Cincinnati March 22: Long, Clemmens &
Drury's wholesale paint and varnish store.
Race street, was damaged by fire this morn
ing to the extent of twelve thousand dollars;
insured in Cincinnati companies for fifteen
thousand dollars.
Rome, March 22: It is understood that
the foreign policy of the new government
will be that of strict neutrality on the east
ern question. Italy will, however, exert to
the utmost her influence in the congress to
oppose Russian predominance in Europe, by
seeking to extend the Hellenic kingdom and
constituting other christian nationalities.
Financial Difficulties
at Tarrytown,
Tarrytown, March 22. The failure cf
the National bank of Tarrytown causes great
excitement among the people. Some indig
nation is expressed that the bank officers
should have received deposits up to the close
of business yesterday, when they knew the
bank must suspend to-day. The examiner
threw out a large amount of worthless pa
per, which the bank had been carrying for
some time, and the supervisor of Greenburgh,
who is the president, had the public monevs
under his control, but were withdrawn some
day 8 before the failure. The county treas
urer also drew out bis deposits, beveral par
ties holding trust funds deposited in the bank
are greatly embarrassed. The reliable assets.
including cash on hand of twenty thousand
dollars, are estimated to exceed eighty thou
sand dollars; liabilities, one hundred and
twenty-two thousand dollars. Ihe examiner
found about one hundred thousand dollars of
worthless paper in the bank.
The Indictment A grain at Henry Clews
ueciacu iivaiia.
New York. March 22. The so-called in
dictment against Mr. Henry Clews, banker
and broker, which was obtained in Chautau
qua county on ex-parte evidence, and upon
which Mr. Clews was recently arrested, has
been decided invalid by the court of sessions
of Chautauqua county, and an order has been
entered requiring the same. Mr. Clews has
obtained orders of arrest for the parties con
nected with the conspiracy.
The Stlnginc Sensation
In the gullet called " heartburn" (why. It Is Impos
sible to conceive, since tbe heart has nothing to do
with it). Is caused by the acetous fermentation In the
stomach of the food contained In It, bj an overplus
of the gastric Juice, which Is Itself a powerful add,
or by the unnatural tj acrid quality of that secretion.
The ordinary way of treating this symptom, for It Is
nothing else, is to administer bl carbonate of soda,
an alkali, to neutralize the acid. But sour stomach
cannot be cured by alkalis, which tend to weaken the
digestive apparatus. A far better remedy ! Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters, which strenethens the cellu
lar membrane, tbe seat of tbe difficulty, regulates
tbe tlow of the gastric secretloD, improves tbe Qual
ity If vitiated, and puts tbe stomach Into good work
ing order. Peterct digestion follows as a natural se
quence, and there is no more trouble from heartburn
or sour stomach. The liver and bowels are also
thoroughly regulated by this sovereign alterative.
