WEDNESDAY, JANUARY II, 1885.
To Our Patrons.

Ore Of the efIsNss Of the war has been 70 place
bpnn,ss generally on cash basic. This r as
rpe of the newspaper publishing business as OF
apy other. We are compelled not only TO pay
an enormously increased price for the paper and
am o,hes material used in the publication Of the
HnnALp, as well "a fof the labor bestowed upon
a. Int also to pay the cash for them as wego.
To adspt ourselves TO this state Of things, we
au-t insist more rigidly than heretofore ppon
ear rubseribers' also adopting the cash downeys-
,gm in paying for their papers, Many OF them
nIse been receiving the weer3f A3iRALD for two,
ilree or four years without pfytrg penny Tor
II; while we haze been constantly paying ont
ibe Zach TO supply them herewith We can do
a no longer. The slms due us, separately con-
,,dered, are small and can be easily paid but
their aggregate amour. is large and we must
have il to meet our heavy cash OUTLAWS.
We therefore announce, positively, to the pat
rons OF the weekly HKHALp. that on the first Of
January the names of all subscribers who shall
then be in areas more than one year for the
PAPER, will be syioken from our subscrip~on
books and measures taken to collect what is due
And
ID That after the trst Of February next, no
.aDer will be sent from this office that il not paid
Tor.
Our object, it will be seen. is to adopt, after
lair notice, the advance pay system for our pa
Der. This system has prevailed in all the city
newspaper establishments for long time there
is no reason why ii should not here, and 1t 49,
at all events, the only system on which news
paper can now be sustained. Our subscribers will
ind it the easiest system for themselves, and II
will require no argument to show them that
while we are compelled 70 pay cash down ior
what we send them, we must have cash down in
return 10 meet our bills.
We have had occasion to know that our sub
scrbers are all sensible people, and we are there
lore confident that they will at once see the
justice and necessity Of the foregoing announce
nent, and continue to patronize and sustain
their State paper with the liberality that has
char acterized them in the past, and for which
we thank them.

A Political story.

The following anecdote Of John Jones
and his party, which we ind ahoat may
be an old story, but If so it will bear
reperusal.
At the time Of the first election of Cen
eral Washington 10 the presidency, there
was a party in Virginia, called the
John Jones party" Now the said John
Jones was a man Of talent, and a plot
ting, shrewd fellow, possessing all the
requisites Of politician, except person
al popularity. To overcome this def
cheney, in a contest with a more popular
candidate for Congress, John early
avowed himself as the peculiar aid de-
voted friend Of Washington, and upon
this point endeavored to place his rival
in opposition.
To carry out this object, he called a
meeting Of 49, county, friendly to the
election Of Gen, Washington. On the
day appointed, he was, on the motion Of
a friend made chairman.
He opened the proceedings by high
eulogium upon the life and services Of
Washington, but taking care only to
speak of himself as his early patron and
most devoted friend, and concluded by
a proposition 10 form a party 10 be
called, 1.-THE true and Only Sons OF the
Father of his Country and for that
object he submitted TO the considera-
ton Of the meeting the following reso-
luton:
Resoloed, That we are the friends Of
George Washington, Esq, and will sus-
tain him in the coming election for
President, against all other candidates.
Gentlemen" said Mr.. Jones, the
Chair is now about to put the question.
The Chair hopes that every man will de.
clare his sentiments for and against.
All those in favor Of the resolution will
say aye"
The response was ike the shout Of
many voices.
Now for the question" said Mr..
Jones 'all Of the contrary mind say
no." Not a voice was heard. The dead
silence seemed to confuse Mr.. Jones
a little, and he said, gentlemen, do
vote"
1.-THE Chair can't decide disputed
question, when nobody votes on 'tother
side, so that the country may know
who are the true friends Of Washing
ton"
Upon this appeal one Of the audience
arose and said he perceived the dilemma
in which the Chair was placed, and in
order to relieve him Of such aQuandary,
he proposed to amend the resolution by
! adding after the name of Washington,
I" and John Jones for Congress"
q" / accept the amendment" said Nj
Jones, and the Chair will now put the
| question as amended
All those who are in favor OF Gen
eral George Washington Tor President
and John Jones .or Congress, will please
say aye
"Aye-aye," said Jones and his broth
err Sam
The Chair hesitated like put thu
contrary" said hundred voices.
All Op-Op-posed say no.
Mo-" Numbered the c0ngregateC
multitude.
Gentlemen said Mr.. Jones, The
Chair perceives that there are folks il
this meeting what don't belong to Oul
party; they have come here to agitate
l therefore adjourn this meeting.
Upon which he left the chair, amids
the shouts and huzzas for Washington
and curses for Jones,

cism srcrmaa's March.

Certain newspapers have endeayoIed
TO make it appear that Shermans march
from Atlanta TO the seaboard was in
fact retreat out Of precarious posi-
ton which he had got himself into az
the former place that he was obliged
10 leave Atlanta because his communi-
cations were cut OFF noTthward, and 10
plunge towards the coast to save him
self. These newspapers were rebel jour
nails south, rebel-sympathiting or cop
perhsad" journals north and reoel-sym-
pathizing journals across the ocean.
The British Army and Navy Gazette,
however, is candid, and disposes OF the
matter in the following way, in its issue
of Dec. Goth, published Of course before
the result of the march was known
1.-THE truth is, that Sherman could
have moved Northward or Northeast
ward, Just as readily as he could nave
moved Southwark, and thae at no time
were his communications permanently
DESTROYED, After Hood moved around
and took some OF his chain Of posts,
Sherman sent corps Northward, which
restored every post which had been
taken and strengthened, and all the
others, and Hood was so little able to
prevent il, and was so fearful Of an at
tack. that be moved off Westward and
seemed to be making for Memphis till
he heard Sherman had left Atlanta and
was striking across Georgia. There is
not the slightest pretext for saying Sher-
man was obliged to leave Atlanta, or
that he could not have turned North
ward and Eastward and Joined Grant
without opposition, had he Been so
minded. But the Northern people eX-
pected something more from the West
ern army than the capture Of Atlanta
and an inglorious return on their
tracks. Macon, Augusta, Savannah,
Mobile, were open to him, and he proba-
bly, turned his face toward the Atlantic
because his march across Georgia in
that direction would be attended with
the largest amount of damage to the en-
envy, and might be productive OF the
most decided results to the tederals. We
do not mean to assert that the line be-
tween Atlanta and Chattanooga was not
severed, but we do very plainly assert
that Sherman could have restored CON-
muncation with the utmost facility had
he laid stress in doing so. But he had
nothing to gain by staying at Atlanta :;
he rested there to preen his wings and
prepare for another fight. Whether he
designed to take Macon and Augusta, or
effect a descent on any Of the seabOard
towns, when he launched out into air,
we know not, and probably will never
/ learn; but it is certain that the destruc-
ton Of Macon and Of Augusta would
have caused great injury to the confed-
crates, and would have produced great
| pleasure at Washington and in the
! North"

TuK pAsspoRr sysrEN-The people of

THE PASSPORT SYsrRA,-The people of
Detroit complain badly Of the inconven-
fence caused by the passport system es-
tabllshed on the Canadian border and
the Mayor has requested the Board OF
Trade to cooperate in measures for Sc
curing its abrogation, A deputation OF
citizens has been sent TO Canada to re-
quest the authorities to adopt measures
TO restore cordially, security and unob.
structed intercourse along the border.
1t is said to cost six dollars to pro-
cure passports, and that there are many
poor people--including women and chill
dren-at Suspension Bridge and Fort
Erie who can neither pay the sum de-
manded for passports, nor can they re-
turn to the places from whence they
came. The American Consul on the Ca
madam side is reported as demanding six
dollars in gold for each passport, thus
discaIding greenbacks. He eXacted his
fees of the men who patrol Suspension
Bridge and take care of that structure,
and Of the railroad men. Even a news
boy-who had sold papers at both ends
Of the bridge-was caught in Canada,
and made to pay six dollars in gold

THE STAGNATIoN or THE SGuTH.-A
correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette
gives carefully written narrative Of
Sherman's march through Georgia, in
which he says
with the exception Of the towns men
toned few deserve the name. Few had
any buildings, either public or private,
that could be considered creditable to a
community. Throughout the entire
march, as in other portions OF the South,
brick buildings are the rare exceptions.
The hotels are miserable, the court
houses and iails OLD and hideOus, and an
air of shifLlessness is thrown over all
things Even the little elegance that
does exist is blasted and marred by the
whitening influence Of the great curse.
Nothing has escaped the blight, and the
south which has been crossed over now
by our army, everywhere presents the
appearance Of corruption and decay
| The country has been developed up 10
the capacity of slave labor, no lapse G.
time could better it's condition, were the
same elements to continue their work,
A stranger might imagine that the land
was settled and built up half a century
ago. and that since that time the noise
Of hammer ak or saw had not been
heard.
It is even questionable whether the
South is maintaining itself, and whether
through the war she has not begun t(
sink into the horrible pit which SLAYER!
has been digging for her. Beyond al
dispute the masters, and particularly tn
observation-disclosures, have been cursed b,
the system far more than the black:

Emancipation in Kentucky.

An anti-slavery State Convention met
at Frankfort, KY, on the 4th inst, and
it is said to bave~b been a success. While
Eentucky's progress towards freedom
has been much slower than that of
Maryland and Missouri, it seems to have
been steady nevertheless, and will event
nally bring her into the ranks Of the
states made free by their own voluntary
action. In 1860 Lincoln received only
/ ,864 votes in the entire state out of a
total vote of 146,2 PIG. This year he re-
eeived 26,592 out Of total vote Of
5000. This is alone indicative Of
steady if not very rapid advance in the
right direction, but the general result of
the last presidential election has given
q new and fOrcible impetus to her
gogress. The Louisville Journal which
supported BIcClellan and is the most
influential paper of the state, has joined
the emancipaGoAists and evinCes dis
position heartily to support the admin
istration. Gov. BraRlett is forced into
advocating gradual emancipation in his
message to the recently assembled Lee
gislature Of the State. And published
accounts of the Convention at Frankfort
above mentioned, say that large num-
Der Of Kentuckians who supported Nc
Clellan for the presidency were present
and heartily participated in its action
The convention passed series OF patri-
otto and emphatic resolutions, the most
important Of which are as follows:
Rcso'ped, That we adhere to the princi-
ples announced in the Baltimore Plat'
form of June, 1864.
Resoloed, That the November election
demonstrated the determination OF the
people to maintain the integrity of the
Union, and uphold the civil and military
policy of the present Administration, al
the true test of loyalty, and we pledg'
ourselves to sustain its policy, and tod
all in our power to suppress the Rebel
lion; and this is the plain duty of loya
citizens and such are invited to co-ope
rate with us. ...s....
Resolpe9, That the sagacity Of the Pres
ident in conceiving, and his heroic tirn
ness in sustaining the wise measures &c
the maintenance and perpetuity of on
republican institutions, entitle him
the gratitude and support of all loy'
men of Kentucky and the nation.
Resolved, That we hereby request OF
Senators and Representatives in Coz
gress, to vote in favor Of an amendmel
to the national Constitution, abolishir
and prohibiting slavery throughout u
dominion Of the United States, and tn
we invite the cooperation Of the Leg
lature in carrying forward this reque'
Reso1ged, That in the Judgment of IL
Convention. the slavery code of Il
state should be revised, repealed
modified so as to be in accordance wi
the state of affairs in Kentucky, as
as the State Constitution may admit
ResoEved, That the recent brilliI
achievements of the army and navy
title our brave soldiers and seamen
renewed favor and honor especially
we feel profoundly gratifed for
happy deliverance which they have J
given Kentucky, in freeing her from
horrors Of ruthless Confederate
yasion. ....
