without dish0nor to the debtor or
creditor. Such cases are eXcep-
tional-most Of debts may be fair
ly compounded, and we urge. that
it be done. We wish, however,
that it may be distinctly under
stood, that we regard the PROPOSE
ton, to repudiate debts, as the
sum Of all dishonesty. 1t is not
allowable under the Constitution
of the United States and the Con-
stitution of the State, and even
if it were, it would be both unwise
and unjust. Reputation is one
thing-the compounding Of a debt
upon fair and equitable princi-
pie by the parties, is another, and
u very different thing.-Anderson

WELL Done, CHESTER We arc
gratifed to learn from the Ches-
ter Standard, that the best Of feel
ings prevail in that District among
the people, upon the subject Of COL
Iccting debts. In one instance, a
gentleman declined to accept spe-
Gle in payment Of a debt contrac-
ed before the war, declaring he
would only receive currency. Sew
eral lawers informed the Editor,
that even had not the Legislature
postponed the Fall Session Of the
Court Of Common Pleas, the dock
ct would have presented a bcggar-
ly array Of suits. The merchants
express a willingness to compro-
mise with their debtors upon the
most liberal terms. This spirit is
commendable, and we commend it
to the imitation Of our readers.
The general rule is, when a mer-
chant fails in business from error
in judgcmnt or reckless specula-
ton, if there be no charge Of frau
duIent conduct On his part, his
brother merchants compound with
him Immediately, allowing him to
retain, not only such property as
is exempt under the insolvent
laws, but also, enough property to
start him in business again. That
every class Of the community has
failed to meet their liabilities, is no
fault Of theirs, and why should
not the like rule Of conduct OBJ
tain among the other classes ofso-
ciety, that obtain among mer-
chants ? We could advance many
cogent reasons to prove that the
interests Of the debtor, creditor,
and community at large, would be
best advanced by the compound
ing Of debts at once, but we sup
pose that they are too obvious
to need repetition. There are ca
ses where the debtor is amply able
to respond, and looking 70 the ma
ture ofthe credit given, the debts
may not be compounded upon
principles Of ':natural equity

4 WOMAN ANNOUNCES HERSELF A
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.

We live in a fast age. In many
instances rowdyism controls elec-
tions, and small ward politicians
use such an clement to their own
personal aggrandizement, against
old and quiet citizens. Another
influence it appears, is about to be
brought to bear on the politics OF
the country. One Of the "strong-
minded women" so-called, publish
es the following card in the New
York papers.
To the Editor Of the Eighth Con-
gressionaZ Dj&trjct.-Although, by
the Constitution of the State of
New York, woman is denied the
elective franchise, yet, she is eligi-
bic to office; therefore, I present
myself to you as a candidate for
Representative to Congress. Be
! longing to disfranchiscd class, I
have no political antecedents to re-
commend me to your support, but
my creed is free speech, free press,
free men, and free trade-the car
dinal points of democracy. View
ing all things from the standpoint
Of principle rather than expedien-
cy, there is a fixed uniform law, as
yet unrecognized by either Of the
leading parties, governing alike
the social and political life Of men
and nations. The Republican
party has occasionally clear Wis
ion Of fpersonaI rights, while in its
protective policy it seems wholly
blind to the rights ofproperty and
interests Of commerce while it
recognizes the duty Of ofbenevoIence
between man and man, it teaches
the narrowest selfshness in trade
| between nations.
The Democrats, on the contrary,
while holding sound and liberal
principles in trade and commerce,
have ever in their political afili-
ations maintained the idea of
class and caste among men-an
idea wholly at variance with the

We need the e-ducO-the drawing
! out or development Of the minds
and muscles of our young people.
Our people seem to have entire
ly overlooked that only real and
proper school Of a nations hope
and success; that only school in
which are taught practically, and
in a manner never to be forgotten,
the greatlessons oflife-the school
Of experience. This is the only
successful teacher the world has
ever found. In it must be taught
the masses-that fundamental ba-
sis of a nations hope, power and
wealth. We have had enough Of
the old system. We must now
try the, to US, new, though it is
the one adopted by the world
around US. Our children must be
taught not only to ''read" a book,
but to read the great book Of ma
ture to "write," not only elegant
epistles, fctions, and all the lacLa-
daisacal nonsense ofperverted lit
erature, but to write their names
high on the scroll Of success; not
only to write, but to do right not
only to "cypher" through the pa
ges Of arithmctics, and the alb
struse works of mathematics, but
to cipher their way through life.

success.
Let the youth ofthe South, then,
be at once put to school under this
great and only great teacher. At

the bench, in all the various de-
partments Impractical business life;
let them learn in childhood and

priceless value to them through

harmony. Let the boy or girl

such instructors Of youth poison

completely wreck all just hopes Of

realities Of practical life, and you
will have q people successful, hap

A MAN TREED BY A DEER.-Mr.
Newman, of this District, while on
his way to Chesterfield Court
found a man up a tree near the
road, eagerly watched and guar
ded by a large wild buck, with a
formidable head Of antlers, and be-
ing warned before he had attract
ed the notice Of the animal, rode
to a neighboring house, borrowed
a gun and killed it. He learned
from the prisoner, that the deer
had been slightly wounded by a
party ofhuntsmen, and pursued by
dogs till it had become quite
furious, and having escaped, waa

genius Of our free institutions, and
fatal to a high civilization. One
party fails at one point, and one at
another In asking yor suffrages
believing alike in free men and
free trade-I could not represent
either party as now constituted.
Nevertheless, as an independent
candidate, I desire an election at
this time as rebuke to the domi-
nant party for its retrogressive
legislation, in so amending the
Constitution as to make invidiOus
distinctions on the ground Of sex.
That instrument recognizes as
persons all citizens who obey the
laws and support the State, and if
the Constitutions Of the several
States were brought into harmony
with the broad principles Of the
Federal Constitution, the women
Of the nation would no longer be
taxed without representation, or
governed without their consent.
One word should not be added to
that great charter ofrights to the
insult or injury Of the humblest of
our citizens. l would gladly have
a voice and vote in the Fortieth
Congress to demand universal
suffrage, that thus republican
form Of government might be Sc
cured to every State in the Union.
If the party now in ascendancy
makes its demand for negro suf-
frage" in goodfaith, on the ground
Of natural right, and because the
highest good Of the State demands
that the RcputIlcan IDEA be Vinol-
Gated, on no principle Of justice OF
safety can the women Of the na-
tion be ignored.
In view Of the fact that the
freedmen Of the South and the mil
lions of foreigners now crowding
our Western shores, most ofwhom
represent neither property, educa-
tion or civilization, are all, in the
progress Of events, to be enfran-
chised, the best interests Of the
nation demand that we outweigh
this incoming paupcrism, igno-
rance and degradation, with the
wealth, education and refinement
Of the women Of the Republic. On
the high ground of safety to the
nation and justice to its citizens, [
ask your support in the coming
election.

An INc1DENT.-As a train ofcars
was last week approaching the
suspension bridge, near Niagara,
the conductor found q young man
who could not pay his fare. The
poor fellow was evidently in the
last stage of consumption, and
emaciated to skeleton proportions.
He,sat by himself, and his eyes
were red, as though he had been
weeping; but the law of the com
pany could not be transgressed,
and he must leave the train. Not
a person moved or spoke as. the
conductor led him from his seat,
all shivering with the cold; but
Just as he reached the door a
beautiful girl arose from her seat,
and with bright, sparkling eyes,
demanded the amount charged for
the poor invalid.
The conductor said So, and the
young and noble girl took that
sum from her pocket-book, and
kindly led the sick youth back to
his seat: The action put to shame
several men who had witnessed
it, and they offered to "pay half"
but the whole-souled woman in
dignantly refused the assistance.
When the train arrived in Albany
the young protectress gave the
invalid money enough to keep
him over night, and send him to
his friends the next morning.

THE BLUE RIDGE RAIL ROAD.


The stockholders ofthat infuen-
tial and wealthy corporation, 'the
Louisville and Nashville Rail
Road" at their annual meeting on
1st October, determined upon the
extention Of their Lebanon Branch
Road from "Crab Orchard" it's
present terminus, to the Tennessee
line, at point to which the Knox
vile and Kentucky Rail Road is
now being built.
This fact in itself would be an
unimportant event, but for it's
ultimate bearing on the prospect
Of the Blue Ridge Road. When
the great Northwest crosses the
Ohio River, on a permanent iron
bridge, which is' being con-
structed at Louisville and journeys
Southwark to Knoxville, over an
unbroken line of frst-class rail
roads, it will not be for the purpose
of making Knoxville it's depot.
Far from 1.-THE stream Of travel,
the gigantic tonnage from the
vallies Of the Ohio and Mississippi,
and from the shores Of the great
lakes, are seeking an outlet on the
South atlantic coast, and the connect
ing link is the Blue Ridge Rail Road.
We may crowd it out Of sight
under the more urgent needs of
the present times, some may say
lit will never be-" but the seeds
planted in the "Rabun Gap" must
grow and will bring US ample
returns.
Three millions of money in tun-
nels, in masonry and in actual
road, is too important fact to be
overlooked, when the commerce of
the great West shall have reached
Knoxville, It will not be over
looked if our people will but do
their duty. Admit that they have
no money now for any rail road
enterprises-good will does not
cost anything. Let US then never
forget the Importance of keeping
this project always in mind, and if
we cannot work ourselves, this
year or next year, the year after
may bring US a helping hand.
Our authority for the statement
Of the proposed extensiont to Knox
vile, is a letter received here re-
Gently from that able rail road
officer, Albert Fink, Esq, Engineer
of the Louisville and Nashville
Rail Road.
A German by birth, he has, by
his great ability and indomitable
energy, gathered around him a
wide circle offriends in his adopted
home, and our own merchants who
visited. Louisville in June last,
speak with much feeling Of his
courtesy and his words of good
cheer in behalf of our Blue Ridge
Rail Road.-Charlest0n Courier.

INDECENCY OF THE DRAMA CALLED

From the Louisville Courie, October Is J
Our eastern, or rather, as they
are generally termed, Yankee
brethren and sisters are especially
on the high moral stills. Twas
among them originated the patent
high pressure idea Of a new God, a
new Bible, and a new religion:
Twas there that women abandoned
their legitimate sphere, and took
to the forum to instruct men in
matters of which the fair lecturers
were profoundly ignorant. Twas
there all the new isms that throw
aside all the morals and social
amenities, that keep the human
race above the brute creation, had
their birth. ,'Tis from there we
get all the obscene publications
and prints that are demoralizing
youth. IT'S there are first intro
duced, in their class theatres, the
bawdy dramas that are only enact
ed in the very lowest grades of
Paris theatres for the delectation
Of the very lowest scum and filth
Of Partisan society. Certainly the
"dramatizations from the French, !"
with which we have been favor
edfrom time to time, were obscene
enough to suit the most depravcd
taste. But it seems not to be so.

REVELATIONS OF An OLD MONAS.
Terry.

TERls
Until the summer Of last year,
one of the chief objects ofinterest
to visitors at Funchal, Madeira,
was a grand Old monastery belong
| ING to the order Of St. Francis.
In June, 1864, however, an order
was received to have it pulled
down, that a court Of justice might
be erected on its site. The work
men had been toiling for some
hours, during which the crowd
around the Gothic arch had great
ly augmented, when a cry was
heard within the building such as
escapes strong men when their
feelings are suddenly and violent
ly aroused, Instantly there was
an answering voice from the crowd,
who, breaking through the slen-
der barrier presented by a wood
en- bolt lying across the entrance,
rushed frantically through dim
corridors and terror-haunted cham
bcrs, awakening as they went
multitudinous echoes with their
wild and impatient calls and
shouts. Guided by the rapid and
reverberant strokes Of the work
mems tools, the crowd quietly
reached a room at the extremity
Of a long shiny hall, and situated
between it and the chapel, from
whence there was another en-
trance. 1t was a lofty room, but
of small Dimensions, having an
iron door at either end. High up
| in the southern side-Wall there
was a grated window, and at the
opposite wall the men who had
uttered that cry Of fearful import
were working with furious encr-
gv, while face to face with them
stood the rigid body, ola woman,
whose CLASSY eyes death hath failed
to close, and whose fair, soft flesh
decay had spared throughout
the long period Of three hundred
years. She stood on deep recess
in the thick wall, beside a small
fireplace, which had been sur
mounted by a beautiful mantle
piece Of pure white unveined mar
bic. In removing this costly slab,
a portion of the wal! had suddenly
fallen, betrayingto the masons the
appalling secret Of a living tomb
in the veStry Of the Church Of st.
Francis. With the presence of
the crowd the horror-stricken
workmen regained their failing
courage, and redoubled their fail
ing courage, and redoubled their
powerful efforts to widen the
/ breach while each Well-aimed
| blow of their croWbars increased
! the general excitement, as more
and moro Of the gastly form stood
revealed. 1t was richly attired in
lilac silk, still retaining in its am
ple folds the freshness Of its origi-
nal tint. One small spray Of bril-
liants cleaned in the abundant
black hair, which still hung in
heavy braids down tie shoulders,
though it had lost its softncss and
it's shadowy gloss. Such grave
dress was horribly suggestive Of u
dread burial. The faces Of the
crowd darkencd, their voices deep
ened into a pent-up roar, when
suddenly the remainder Of the wall
came tumbling down, exposing to
the eyes Of the dismayed throng
the feshlesS skeleton Of a man ly-
ing at the woman's left hand, in a
piled yet irregular heap, as if it
had slid down bone after bone,
when the sinews and muscles which
had given beauty and strength to
manhood had loosened their hold
! before crumbling into dust.

more loose and obscene yet and
New York has now got: it in the
shape Of a play called The Black
Crook. This is a dramatization of
a very old and very dirty book,
written in the days Of the Pom
padour, and the circulationof which
was suppressed by law in later and
more decent times. We are sorry
to say that we are indebted to Mr..
Charles NJ. Barras, q man whom We
would not have suspected of pro-
stituting his talents by employing
them in such work, for this drama.
But Barras wrote it, and Manager
Wheatley is playing it at Niblos,
and not only playing it, but multi
tudes are turned away nightly,
and Mr.. Wheatley pockets s., 500
at each exhibition. = -
The Black Crook depends ferits
popularity upon the lasciVious
pictures formed upon the stage.
There are several demon and
other dances, in which ffty-three
girls, selected for their beauty Of
feature and perfection ofform, take
part in an entirely nude state,
except narrow cIout of thin gauze
that conceals nothing. So de-
praved have his audience become
that Manager Wheat1ey finds it q
paying dodge to hang out large
transparencies before his theatre
each night, announcing that the
"demon dance comes off at 9.30."
This dance is particularly luscious,
and cannot fail to inspire auditors
with ideas, and rouse emotions Of
sublimely moral nature. How
