LARGE SHIPMENTS OF HoGs.-We are in
formed by Mr.. J. +. Terry, the obliging De-
pot Agent at this place, that there have been
shipped eastward on the Va. g. Tenn. road,
within the last ten days, sixty-four car loads
of hogs, numbering $500 head. About ], :
600 will be shipped to-day, making nearly
5000 head in all. We hear of hogs coming
forward from every direction, and the pros.
pect is that the number shipped from this
point will greatly exceed that of any previ.
Gus season. There has been quite an active
demand for hogs here since our last issue,
and the price has advanced to $5,5O.-Bris-

MUNICIPAL ELEcTIoN IN New YORK.
Daniel F. Tieman-"ihe peoples candidate"
is elected Mayor Of New York, over Fer.
nando Wood, the democratic nominee, By
1890 majority. Mayor Wood-ex Mayor
now-s the man who melted the late "Bread
or Blood" riots, and who, if guilty of half that
has been charged against him, is one of the
most consummate villains unhung. 1t is to
be hoped that the election of his successor
will inaugurate an improved era in the histo-
ry Of the Empire City. The Express says
of Woods defeat
"Frst, it is pleasing to reflect that such an
election, so resulting, must conclusivcly de-
monstrate that our American system of gov
eminent contains within itself, locally as
well as nationally, the means and elements of
its own publication whenever that system is
corrupted and demoralized BY demagogues-
or made subservient to the selfish schemes OF
wicked and ambitious men. 1t may require
a mighty and great aggravation of official
misconduct, to bring those means into opera.
ton-but such an effort having just been
made with so much success, hereafter we do
not know that, in the worst Of times, we
shall ever despair of our country. Hence
forth, then, Nil Desperandum de Repablica

STRENGTH OF THE MoRMoNs-THEIR Position
"A Washington correspondent Of the Phila

NAUGHTY YAzoo.-The editor of the Yazoo
(Miss.) Banner gives that city bad character
In his 'leader" of Friday week, he says:
The river is low here and the state of Grace
in the Churches is still lower. Like Benja
min F. Butler, of Sandy Hill, the Christian
in Yazoo City is compelled to mourn the low
state of Grace. A pious divine of the NJ. L.
Church made a survey some years ago, and
announced that the kingdom-sf old Nick was
only half mile from Yazoo City. There
have been good many cavings in since then,
and we think it is little nearer now. In
deed, a nervous man can smell birthstone on
a clear day, if he has not a bad cold. Our

however, should not leave it before service is

FROM KANSAS 81. Louis, Dec. 3.-At n
meeting at Leavenworlh, Kansas, on the 2lst
ult., resolutions were adopted similar to those
passed at Lawrence on the 10Th, and speeches
were made by Messrs. Vaughan, Philips,
Hutchns Moore, and others.
Mr.. Philips advised rallyug around the
Topeka Convention, calling i! the Magma
Charta of Kansas Liberty. A Vigilance Com
mittee is being formed throughout the Ter

PAYING Orr IN SILvER.-Yesterday the
employees of the Government were paid their
months wages aui salaries in half dollars -
This is the first time, we apprehend, when
such thing has been done. The result was,
that the brokers Immediately put on con-
siderable rate of premium when called on to
exchange gold for silver. The effect of thus
paying off the public employees must be
greatly to increase the quantity Of specie cir
culating 10 business here, for silver to-day on
the street is not worth anything more than
the currency of the banks of the District of
Columbia, Wash Star.

sB- The Richmond Enquirer says: awe
need not expect to extend the institution of
slavery where nature does not direct it,
Self.interest ever has been, is now, and will
always be the great motor, of mankind, at
least in all such enterprises as the establish
ment OF social institutions. And unless me-
gro labor is better adapted TO the culture of
a certain soil than white labor, il is idle to
expect that slavery will be adopted in con.
sideratioD of its advantages morally and po-
litically. Even the enlightened people of
this country are not educated to that point Of
the philosophy Of government yet The
South must look southwark for the expan.

GEORGIA LEGIsLATURE.-This body of gen.
tlemen does not seem to be much in advance
of common people in point of intelligence,
if the opinion Of the Augusta Chronicle is
to be taken. 1t says:
GaS.LegislGtire - Those of our readers,
whose supply of gas is deficient, can learn
where they can be accommodated by reading
the concluding paragraph of our Milledge-
vile correspondents letter. Judging from
the reports We have seen, there is certaiiy an
abundant supply of both gas and ignorance
in the two houses. In all our observation,
and we have some experience, we have never
seen such a developement of ignorance in
any assemblage pretending to be deliberative.
as has been displayed in both houses, on the
subject of Banks and Banking In oil seri-
business, we think, if it were not a violation
of the Constitutional rights of the press, the
Legislature should prohibit any report of
their action and speeches, on this question
especially. The speeches are certainly re-
Election Upon the character of the State, to
whatever extent it can be effected by such o
body, 1.-THE exceptions are rare and anything
but complimentary to the gasometers whence
they are elected. Every intelligent Georgian
in whose bosom turks particle of State
pride, must feel Inundated indeed, at such
spectacle, and feel quite disposed to suggest
to them the advice gwen by Peter Pindar, to
the Rhymer, who aspired to write an account
Of the Queens tour in verse.

Merchants Of Greensboro and Foreign and
Suspended Bank BiHS.-The Montgomery
Advertiser, of LIST inst, says:-"At meeting
of the merchants of Greensboro, (Ala.) the
other day, resolution was adopted, declaring
that after tn e first of December the bills of
banks of other States, and of the suspended
banks Of Alabama, will be taken by them in
payment of debts only al the rates Of discount
current in Mobile"
If the people of Greensboro, Alabama, and
those who trade IN that locality, were TO meet
and declare that they would not pay any
more for goods, wares or merchandise, in
Greensboro, than such commodities are worth
in Mobile, there might be necessity for
another meeting of the merchants. "a fire.

A PREDIcTIos.-Forney's Press, nor any

"rhe public man who faters in this issue,

who tries to make the Convention of Kansas
superior TO the people, and who advises that
the Constitution shall not go to them for en-.
dorsenent or rejection, finishes his career for
ever"
