rious reports concerning the movements Of the
Fenians, says: III. We could see any possible
good that the Fenians could effect for ireland,
we should be disposed to syn1pathize wirhthem

on their part can the true interests Of the Irish
people be advanced A raid across the Cana

to the Fenian leaders as to keep up the excite

sums of money into the Fenian treasury; but
how The liberation Of Ireland is to be effected
by hostile demonstration on Canada, or on an
outlying dependency Of New Brunswick, passes

The Negro Can't Take It.

The Tallahassee Florididn says
s"The acting postmaster at Wei
born, in this State, being unable
to take the iron Clad recently re-
ceived notice to close his Office
This threw the citizens into some
excitement, for they did not relish
the idea Of being cut off from pos
tai facilities. But there was nc
help for tiff no one could be
found who could take the oath,
the office must be shut up. They
tried the ladies, but all had been
rebellious-not one would consent
to be postmistress. In their 'di-
lemma an honest negro was thought
of-one who had proved faithful
during the war-and he was urged
to take the Office. The oath was
read to him and explained, where
upon he promptly said, 81 can't
take it; was a servant and Con
federate soldier during the war
all my sentiments are againstthem,
and | won't have the place" The
negro's name is Pinckney Red
mond."
There is more in this than APP
pears at the first glance. We see
daily in the Northern papers dis
sertations on the loyalty of the
Southern blacks during the late
war, and the idea seems to be that
they were all on the side of the
North. Now, we know far more
of the sentiments ofthe colored peo-
Pile of the South, than any North
ern man can, and we have fire.
quently had it in mind to expose
this assumption, for it is nothing
more. Our own opinion is that
exactly the opposite is the truth.
The negro had no desire to fight
on either side, but had it been put
to vote during the war, with GER
tainty that be had to fight on one
side or the other, we firmly be-
lieve that nineteen out of twenty
would have joined the cause of
their masters. Our Yankee breth-
rem may make what they choose
out of this statement, but we firm
ly believe in its truth.

WHAT MIGHT BE EXPECTED

WHAT MIGHT BE EXPECTED
Missouri, under the rule or misrule
of the radicals, is in a most de-
plorable condition. Mobocracy is
the order of the day. 1t is really
frightful to read the accounts of an
archy and disorder prevalent IN
that section of our country
These extreme radicals don't often
get the power into their hands,
but when they do they run riot In
tyranny and oppression, and the
result is state of constant semi
revolution. They are no more tit
to govern men than the Rev. Mr.,
Lindsey (who whipped his three
year old boy to death for not say
ing his prayers) is fit to govern
children.

Horrible!

The Louisville Journal refers
to a poem by Mrs. Virginia French,
published in ''The Home" week
ly paper at Atlanta, and which, it
says, "breathes the very fires of
perdition." The Journal adds {:
sThat we do not use too strong
terms, let the following lines from
it show:
s.Sow with SALT the smiling valleys, and on
. every breezy height
Kindle bale-fres of destruction, lurid on the
solemn night;
He may sacrifice the aged, and exult when
woman stands
Mid the sunken, sodden ashes of her home,
with palsied hands
Dropping over hungered children. Man may
thus immortalize
His name with haggard infamy-his watch
word ''Shermanize"
If the Journal thinks the bare
g.sgtaz Of these horrible events
" Neathes the very fires of perdi-
Il j." what has it to say for the
erents Men,sezoesi The portrait is
a faithful one of what actually oc-
Cured in Georgia when ''scourged
by Sherman" The Journal
asks: "What do the. writers of
the South, male and female,
mean?" Why, they simply
mean that the world shall know
the truth. Is it unlawful to tell
it, or are you afraid of it? You
cannot deny the facts, why wish
them suppressed? We suppose
DR.. Craven's book breathes the very
fires oSperdition, too; and also the
testimony Of Commissioner Ould
who offered the sick and dying
Federal prisoners to their Govern
ment without exchange; and it re-
fused to receiUe them! These re-
citals9of facts do "breathe the very
fires of perdition," as alleged by the
Journal, for it was just such fires
to which the people of the South
were subject-and perhaps it is
just such fires that are in store
for the author of their wrongs at
the hands of public opinion.

fects have abundantIy = WN EE
shown to the commu- @SNA
nifty how much they 2
excel the ordinary G@zo
medicines in use. They are safe and pleas
ant to take, but powerful to cure. Their pen
ehating properties stimulate the vital activi-
ties of the body. remove the distractions of
its organs, purify the blood, and expel dis
ease. They purge out the foul humors which
breed and grow distemper. stimulate sluggish
or disordered organs into their natural action,
and impart a healthy tone with strength to
the whole system. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints OF everybody, but
also formidable and dangerous Diseases
While they produce powerful effects, they are
at the same time, in diminished Doses the
safest and best physic that can be employed
for children. Being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take and, being purely vegetable,
are free from any risk of harm, Cnres have
been made which surpass belief, were they
not substantiated by men of such exalted po-
sition and character, as to forbid the suspicion
of untruth. Many eminent clergymen and
physicians have lent their names to certify to
the public the reliability of our remedies,
while others have sent us the assurance of
their conviction that, our preparations con-
tribute Immensely to the relief of our affiict-
ed, suffering fellow men.
The Agent below named is pleased to fur
nish gratis our American Almanac. containing
directions for the use ard certificates of their
cures, of the following complaints -
Costiveness, Billions Complaints. Rheuma-
tism, Dropsy, Heartburn, Headache arising
from foul stomach, Nausea Indigestion, Nor
bid Inacton of the Bowels and Pain arising
therefrom, Fiatulency, Loss of Appetite, all
Diseases which require an evacuant medicine.
They also, by purifying the blood and stimu-
latlng the system, cure many complaints
which it would not be supposed they could
reach, such as Deafness, Partial Blindness,
Neuralgia and Nervous Irritability, Derange-
ments of the Liver and Kidneys, Gout and
other kindred complaints arising from low
state of the body, or obstruction of its func-
tons.
Do not be put off by unprincipled dealers
with other preparations which they may make
more profit on. Demand AYERS and take no
Others. The sick want the best aic there is
for them, and they should have it.

The Hon. Obediah Browne and
Mrs. Cora Browne were REMARKED
short time since in New Haven,
Conn. They were first married
nearly a quarter of century ago,
lived happily for some time, and
became parents of two sons, now
grown up. Trouble came and
they were divorced. Mr.. Browne
married again, and lived with his
wife number of years, until death
removed her. He finally renewed
the acquaintance of his first wife,
and the result was that he has now
led her to the altar for the Sec

NATIVE OF HENDERSON, KY.-A

has recently been tried in Gibson
county, Ind. The testimony of a
negro was admitted in evidence.
We give an extract from the testi-
mony of the colored witness, and
submit it as a true exhibition Of
intelligence for a witness:
By the Court "Were You born
in the United States?"
Witness-"No, sah."
By the Court-"Were you born
in American"
Witness-"No, sab"
By the Court-"Where were

Witness-"In Henderson, Ken

Upon this examination the pros
ecution withdrew the objection to
the competency of the witness, and
the darkey was examined on the
