A CLAY VINO, IN OFFICE.

REMARKs.-We write as an Independent
journalist Our Clay friend may "draw" what
inference he pleases. We do not think the her
mophrodite bill should be permitted to become a
law. Others may think differently, and be
right, while we may be wrong. But we will
always express our opinion. The President
may conceive it to be his duty to sign the bill.
He, too, has right to his opnion--and he has
far better sources of information than we can
have. We will not quarrel with hun if he
should sign it. Neither does it follow that we
should change our opinion.
We presume the 'Clay Wing in Office" is

FOR THE MADISONIAN.

Mr. EDITOR: find the following sentence in
an editorial of Saturdays Madisonian
"The President signed the Distribution law on
the express condition that the tarofduties should
not 90 beyond 20per cent.which express condition
is now to be expressly violated. Two conse-
quences follow from this course of Congress
sional action one of which is, that an attempt
is made to fix an unqualified Distribution law
on the country by frand, which cannot be pass
ed on its own intrinsic merits, and the other, OF
compelling the Executive to sign a law under
cover of a proper tariff law, and under threats,
which his judgment and his patriotism might
equally repudiate."
Now, sir, will you be kind enough to state
whether the public is authorized to draw the ma
cutiue?

SPIRIT-LETTER FROM THE
PRESIDENT.

We copy the following letter from the Gin
cnnati Republican. Mr.. Graham, to whom it
is addressed, was the first to call the Presidents
attention to Mr.. Morris's frank and patriotic ex-
position of the unworthy conduct of the Wing
majority in Congress, which we published some
days since.
WASHINGTON, June 4th 1912
DEAR SIR return you the Athens Gazette which
you handed me last night, and will not withhold the
expression of my decided approval of the sentiments
contained in MIR. MOrris's letter to the editor They
are such denote patriotic heart and mind. With
an embarrassed treasury consequent on transition
from state of plethora to condition approaching
the opposite-with a broken up and disordered cur
rency arising from the bursting of those numberess
bubbles which, for years past have engaged in their
chase the whole country-with the mechanical arts
greatly prostrated and industry suffering extensive
paralysis-wth the greatest and most important ques
tons pending, both foreign and domestic, which
at any preceding time have engaged the public unc
onaries-s this time for the spirit of faction to
have exclusive sway for the country to be agtaed
by the question of who shall succeed to the Presiden-
cy three years hence Personal abuse of myself has
entered largely into the discussions in and out of Con-
gress This any man, who may be in this office, may
be ready to expect but should be most ready to
compromise with my bitter assaants in Congress by
seeing conceded to them any portion they may choose
of every day, for the display of their unsurpassed
eloquence in abuse of me, if the residue of their
time could be given to the public good Is this great
end to be sacrificed to crafty small clique of NOUS
ing politicians, who think that their petty schemes of
hatred or ambition of more consequence than
the consideration of measures designed for general
relief?
intended however, only to express my approval
OF the sentiments contained in MIR. Morris's letter,
and find myself betrayed into the above remarks.
Accept assurances of my high respect.

A Natchez correspondent asks if it is true
that we have recently published volume of
poems in Louisville. We can only say that if
we have we don't know tive hope our pub
Usher will send US copy. Our correspondent
(who knows us wel) proceeds to say that
some of our obliging biographers in the West,
have set US down as ''natlve of Kentucky"
Kentucky is glorious State, and we are truly
sorry that our biographers mistaken. How
ever, we cannot swear positively in the premi-
ses, as our recollection of the event is not quite
clear and dstinct--but then the record places
our birth at least seven hundred miles from
Kentucky. We hope our biographers will correct
these errors in the next ed iton.

IN STRU CTIONS

CTIoNs
For entering Table Bay by night, by the plan con-
structed on the observations made by H.
M. ship Lsren, November, 1895.
The bearings mentioned in these instructions all
by compass or magnetic.
lst To enter Table Bay from the northward,
meaning to pass outside of Robben Island, ship
should keep the light to the eastward of souh9 de-
grees east, about south and by east until she get
soundings under 20 fathoms, at little more than
mile from the Light House she may then steer east
south east, or east and by south, not to under
10 or IL fathoms until the light bears west south
west, she may then for the anchorage and may
anchor in from to fathoms, as the lights
are shutting in behind the Lions Tail.-This track
leads about mile clear of danger on Green Point ;
but ship need not approach it near if she have,
by seeing Robben Island, ascertained by its bearings,
that she is clear Of the Whale R ock, in which case
she may round it at greater distance from Green
Point, if desirable, but the soundngs in that will
not alone be sure guide.
Cd. In coming from the southwest, ship should not
get less than Az tahoms before the light bears south
east, east south east less than 20 athoms be-
fore bears, south and by east when the preceding
, directions may be followed
From the Northward-inside of Robben Island
the Light should be kept about Southwest and by
South until ship have passed that Island in doing
which she may have some casts from to fathoms
and when on that course he water deepens TO or IL
fathoms, she may steer for the anchorage by the plan
as before directed.
In beating round Green point, ship should never
never shoal her water under III IL fathoms, until
she have brought the light to bear west southwest
before said
In beating between Robben Island and the Main
to enter Table bay, the soundngs may be taken from
the Island it shoals to very regularly In standing
towards the MAN, it appears prudent to tack at the
first cast of the lead after the water shoalens.
In these directions it is taken for granted that a
ship will always keep her leads going.
BY day, or when the shores surf can be seen,
indeed under any circumstances, the plan ought to be
sufficient guide.
There are two lights at the Light House, which
are in about southwest and by west; these appear
to be of other use than to assure the nav gator
which is the Light House, if he should other
lights We have the lights clearly off deck at
l6 miles dIstance but they will not make clear as two
lights until within or miles to the westward of
Them and from the northward light only will be

A light having been erected on the Mouille Point
with Lentcular light of the 4h class, for the better
guidance of vessels entering Table Bay during the
night, the following instructions are appended TO the
instructions by Capt. Owen, R. N.
In standing in from the S. w. a ship should not
pass the lights on Green Point nearer than mile
nor should the course be altered from eastward to
the southwark, with the intention of steering for the
anchorage-nor should the ship be brought into less
than IA or Is fathoms water, before the lights
Green Point bear S. w. by w. w. (they will then
be in one,) when the light the Moule Point will
instantly be seen, (and not before,) bearing nearly
by w. ship may then alter the course from the
eastward, and steer S. S. for the centre of the
chorage, and anchor whenever the lights on Green
Point are shut in (by sand hills the Mouille) and
the light on the Mouile Point bears N. W. distant
about mile, in from 6 to fathoms water. Vessels
OF light draft OF water may steer s. by r. l.. for
the anchorage, and anchor with the Mouille light
bearing N w. by ~ in from to 5 fathOms OF
water.
The ships distance from the shore, when the light
on the Mouille appears, may be readily ascertained
by the bearings of the two light houses, and the dis
lance between them, which is 1215 yards, the per-
pendcular height of the Mouille light above high
water mark is 40 feet.
In coming in from the northward Inside Robben
Island) the lights Green Point will appear in one,
(or nearly sou and the light on the Moue Point will
also be seen--the distance between the light houses
being as above mentioned. The directions by Cap
tain Owen and the appended directions, will be
sufficient guide to the anchorage.
1t is earnestly recommended to strangers not to
attempt to beat into Table Bay at night in squally
or thick weather. The strctest attention should be
paid to the soundngs, and the leads kept constantly
going. The plan Of the bay by Capt Owen, upon
which the Instructions are founded) should so be at
hand for reference.

KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE.

That the Wings charged The democrats with ex-
travagance IN furnishing the Presidential mansion"
and then expended several thousand do liars
more in costly furniture, soon as they came into
power.
They said It'll rank corruption to appoint mem
bers OF Congress 10 olfce-and they have appointed
more, in the same length of lime, than any party
ever did before,
They promised to reduce the..expenses of Gov
eminent to SlS, 0OO, O00-and they have increased
them to $S2, 900, 900! -
They pretended to be opposed TO "proscripiun
for opinions sake"-und have turned out Of Office
every democrat they could reach.
They promised to make better times and reg
ulae The exchanges;' they have done neither.
They promised to raise the price of the turner's
produce, and increase the wages oilhe mechanic;"
they are now lower than ever
They promised to bring the Government out of
all its trouble; they have punged it into new diff
cuities.
They condemned the issue Of Treasury notes;
they now say sit is the only means of saving the
credit Of the Government
They have given away The Public Lands, and
gone into Wa-st, to get the notes Of the Govern
ment shaved by the brokers!
They promised when they should get power, that
there would be reform in Congress--rhore voting
and less talking! but with clear majority in both
branches, there has been less voting and more talk
ing, less business and more wranglirg, less harmo-
ny and more fighting, than ever dsgraced the na-
ton before.
They have in short, broker, every promise upon
which they came into power,q uareIled with their
President-abused each olher-and deceived the
people; and they now lmpudently ask to be sus-
,ained in their dshones. and profigate career.
