pointedly sarcastic enough. A buster

falling into scale, and weighing itself"
Over doing thing, they call =" a hunch-
back making bow A spendthrift

off at once. Those who expend their
charity on remote objects, but neglect
their family, are said to :" hang a lantern

How TO GET UP REFREsHED.-Every
person who tolls daily upon farm in
warm weathershould be careful to prac-
tice system of abolition at the close
of each days labor. Sometimes he may
he so exhausted as to render this any
thing but an inviting performance; yet,
by it's omission, he .looses much of the
refreshment which the hours of repose
are designed to impart. Cleanliness of
person is essential to sound and refresh
ing slumber, hence the labor of keeping
ones person clean is amply repaired by
the elasticity which follows from night
ly ablutions before retiring to rest
These are especially requisite during the
haying and harvesting season, when pro-
fuse perspiration is a certain concomi-
tant of hard and protracted labor.
Keep clean and sleep soundly-go to
bed unwashed and rise in the morning
unrefreshed, with a feeling of lassitude
whsch the exertions of the day will
hardly be able to remove.-Itm'dt Neao
Yorker.

FINE CoTToN.-On passing MITCHELL
& ALIENS agricultural warehouse, on
Pollock ST., Yesterday, we noticed stalk
of cotton Of this years growth, standing
in a pot at the door, the apex of which
came about level with our shoulder.
Said stalk was labelled, From LELAND
Bros farm, Craven Co., n. c." and
purporting to have 81 squares and bowls
on it, which VIC did not count, but sup
pose from its appearance, it was cor
rect.
While we were taking a note of this
Mr.. GRACY,who lives five miles from
town, happened to come along, who re-
msrked that he had larger cotton on his
farm than that. If there is much such
cotton in this county like this sample,
we need not fear for the aesult of the
coming crop.-Neac6eru Times.

These aggregates do not include the
scattering and fractional returns from
counties which we have before us. If
they were added, Throckmorton's ma
ijority would be increased about twenty
five hundred votes, while Cleveland,
for the Supreme court, would run up to
within few votes of Smith. Walton's
majority would also be pretty largely
increased. The counties are nearly all

Secretary Stewards Speech.

The Secretary of State addressed
an immense meeting of the citizens
OF Auburn, New York, on Tuesday
last. We have not space for the full
report Of his speech. The following
brief extract, however, defines Mr..
Stewards position:
1.-The political system constructed
by our forefathers stands now firm.
compact, complete and perfect, lust
as 1t came from the builders hands.
1t was constructed, not for eighty
years only, not for time Of peace
only, nor yet for Il period of civil
war only, but for all attending condi-
tlons Of peace and war, and for all
ages and all time.
What, then, does this nation
need? 1t needs just what l have
dwelt upon so much and so earnestly
III these remarks. 1t needs reconcile
alton, and just now needs nothin o
more: 1t needs just this Congress
slonal reconciliation, and nothing
less. Let the reconciliation be made
tirst, either i'll Congress or in any of
the constituencies, and it will follow
III the other place immediately"
The Presidents position is abso-
lutely taken, well-Gefned, and uni
versally understood. 1t is this, name
iy: That so far and so fast as the un-
represented States present themselves
unquestionably loyal, they are emit
tied to representation in Congress
equally with all other States, and lust
as well as If there had been no rebel
lion"

The Nashville Unfon amt american
has the following, under the caption
of 'tWhat constitutes Sta5e?'
GA State in the Federal Union.is a
community of native-b born md na--
turalized citizens, under the laws Of
the United States, numbering not
less than 1906 souls, inhabiting a
certain designated and defined terri
tory, having certain rights inherent
rs such q community, and owing GER
tain Obligations as such, under au-
thority delegated to the Government
Of the United States"
In our paper, on several occasions,
we have defined the rights of a
.StateAone representative for each
100000 inhabitants, excluding In
dians not taxed, and including those
bound to service for term Of years.
The Constitution also excludes from
the enumeratian of representative
population "thrce-tifths Of all other
persons" but as this term was appli-
cable to slaves, and there are now no
slaves, it of course has no application.
The law further stipulates:
That direct taxes shall be appor-
toned equally among the States on
the representative basis; that its pub
lie acts, records and judicial proceed
ings shall have full faith and credit in
every other State of the Union; to
participate, through electors of its
own choice, in the election of Presi-
dent and e-President of the United
States; that its citizens shall be en-
titled to all the privileges and immu-
mites of the citizens of every other
State; that it may demand from the
authorities Of any other State the
restoration of a fugitive from justice
under its laws; that its territory shall
not be divided without its own con-
sent; that, after having established for
itself republican form of Govern
ment, it shall be guaranteed in its
maintenance; that these rights are
reserved to it and its people, and all
other rights and powers not delegated
to the General Government.
This Is Il summary of the leading
characteristics of State of the Ame-
rlcan Union. By name, described
boundaries, population and requisite
qualifications, there are thirty-six
States composing the United States.
Eleven of these States are excluded
from the enjoyment of all the essen
tial rights belonging to them as States
by portion of one of the depart
ments OF the General Government,
and are thus, to all intents and pur-
poses contemplated by the Constitu-
ton, mol States. Such is now the
position of the Southern States, and
1t will be a subject for the future
student Of history, who, we hope,
will write correctly.

The bankrupt bill has passed the

that it will pass the Senate. 1t is
asked by the creditor as we'll as the
>~llebtor interest. This is not, like the
two former bankrupt Acts, a mere
temporary expedient to relieve debt
ors, but is intended to carry ont an
nnexecuted and important constitu-
tional power, to establish a perma-
nent and uniform system of bank
ruptcy. Some Of the leading provi
sions of this bill have already been
adopted as part of the bankrupt
lay of England, and were duly ere
