How to be Prosperous.

The Richmond Enquirer, in an ar
ticle on the changes that have been
effected by the war, and the necessity
that exists for greater economy, re-
marks:
'All these things must be changed
now. A pump at the door-a dairy
in the yard-a kitchen under the same
roof--a cooking stove instead of a
fireplace built to hold half cord

placed under convenient Shelters

tub-these and other conveniences

enable them to manage their domestic
affairs with one-fourth the former num-
Der Of servants and with more ease
and comfort. As servants are not to
be had in past supply, these economi-
cal expedients become absolutely ne
cessary; and every husband worthy
the name will take care to supply them
without waiting until the ladies are
worn down in the attempt to conduct
their household operations after the
former manner with the few domes-
tics now at commando
We think these suggestions practi-
CAL and that such ideas must be car

one OF tne great obstacles to improve
ment, when slavery existed, was that
every pursuit was neglected for the
cultivation of cotton. We need a va

The Gift Concert for the Relief of the
Suffering Poor of Alabama.

SuuGTIu& EOUI "a
Some very benevolent gentlemen OF
the city of Cincinnati deeply afflicted
atthe suferings ofthe poor of Alabama
generously resolved to make them
present of $4,000 AS none OF these
gentlemen happened to have that
amount of cash convenient, they be
thought themselves of a plan by which
it might be obtained. And this was
to 90 to Louisville, establish a Lottery
concern and sell 5000 tickets to a
oft concert for one dollar each.
Lists of prizes were published
and it is really ASTONISHING in these
mercenary days to see what liberal
gifts were to be awarded to the pur-
chasers of tickets. The Havana, the
Kentucky, the Alabama State schemes
pale into insignifcance. There were
positively no blanks to be sold, every
purchaser of a ticket was to draw a
prize. With all these rare induce
ments, the money received was to be
put in the hands of Gov. R. NJ. Patton,
of Alabama, for distribution.
But the world is suspicious, and
some doubter addressed Gov. Patton
a letter of inquiry. 1t seems Gov. +
is somewhat of a skeptic and appears
to entertain an unbecoming prejudice
/ against such benevolent undertaking:
for he replied that the whole scheme
was originated without his concurrence
or request, and by strangers to hin
and the State of Alabama. He furthe
1 volunteered the information that Ia
did not desire for the destitute of Ala
bama any participation in none.

circumstances, came to the knowledg
of the police and from a belief tina
the concern was bogus several person
were arrested

Williamson and their associates thu
became the victims of circumstances

tendency to dispel the fattering hope
of brilliant prizes entertained by thos
who have invested for the relief of tn
suffering poor of Alabama.
Those prize concert swindles are be
coming so common and make such eS
travagant pretensions, that it is reall
surprising any one should be deceive

of hundreds of thousands of ticket:

not be sold and the concern collapses

OuPrN. The Fest Oath


Mr.. Editor Why cannot any one engaged
in the late rebellion, who is included in the
general pardon of the President of the Uni.
| ted States or who, being among the excepted
classes, has received a special pardon, take
the oath of Office prescribed by Congress in
the Act approved July 3, 1862?
Bacon, than whom there is no better auth
GRITTY on this subject, says:
at seems agreed that pardon of treason
or felony, even after an attainder, so far
clears the party from the infdmy and all
other consequences thereof, that he may
have an action against any one who shall
afterwards call him traitor or felon for the
pardon makes him, as it were, new man. -
man pardOned for treason is never there
after to have been considered in law, as
having committed the offence-iti is oblitera-
ted-has no eXistence-in law, was never
committed. Therefore any man can, in a
legal sense, swear that he has never volun-
tarily borne arms against the United States,
although he may have been in every battle
that was fought during the rebellion-that
he gave no aid, counsel, &c, although he
may have expended million of dollars in
aid of the war, and that he never sought or
accepted nor attempted to exercise the
functions of any Office under the Confederate
States, although he might be j. P. Benjamin

Bouvier says, "a pardon has the effect of
restoring the convict to all his rights

another with having committed the offence

Correspoudence from Brandon.


BItAs BoN, Sept. 5. 1868.
Dear rTur;oo The C W6nit Court is still
insession here, engaged on The State Docket
To-day, the case of the State VS. Alvin Myers
on charge of murder, was argued and sub.
mitted to the jury. AS yet, however. g
O'Clock, D. m, the jury have not returned
verdict 1t is probable that the State BUSH
ness will consume the remainder of this
week Although Judge Watts is very in
dustrious and holds Court all day. the bust
ness has accumulated so much, that he will
not be able, l think, to close the Term this
week 81 A So p
This evening we had rather affecting
scene in Court. o. young man named Mar
tin Deer was brought in from Jail, charged
with larceny. He plead guilty to the accn-
sation, and stated to the Court that this was
his first offence; that he knew he had acted
wrong; that he had been seduced, in an
evil hour, by dishonest associates, from the
path of honesty that he was very sorry for
what he had done, and begged his Honor to
| be merciful in the sentence, promising to
| lead an honest life when he had paid the
penalty of his crime. The accused was quite
| young man. He appeared very penitent,
and wore the Confederate buttons, having
been volunteer in the service. The mother
| of the prisoner, an old, feeble woman, poorly
clad in humble garb, witnessed the degrade
ton of her boy, and wept bitterly during the
scene. The prisoner shed copious tears OF
| shame and penitenee. There was much sym.
pathy manifested by the bar for the mother
and son; and Judge Watts, evidently much
affected by the deep distress of the pool
woman, very properly sentenced her erring
boy to only one year in the Penitentiary
Although Judge Watts is pretty hard upon
law-breakers, he has feeling heart, and al
ways inclines to mercy so far as he can dc
so, consistently with the claims of justice
1t will be long time before this little Incl
dent will fade from my memory. Our friend
the District Attorney, in the fullness of his
kind heart, seemed delighted when tn,
youthful culprit received so mild sentence
If any thing of interest occurs here Thu

RoBACKs SCANDINAVIA REMEDIES,
The undisputed superiority of the Scanda-
navian Remedies over all others,.is shown
in many ways, but especially is it evinced in
this important fact, that responsible drug
gists and merchants all over thecountry take
active interest in introducing them to their
best customers and friends, while at the same
time it is quite as much to their interest to
recommend other articles; the reason for this
is obvious, and creditable to human nature,
hey are in positions to see the pre-eminent
efficacy of the Scandinavian Remedies in
great number of cases, and naturally give.
their voice in favor of remedies which effect
50 much real good in the world.

L lie New 1Ofk Evening 1OSG Lnat
was but few weeks since violently
opposed to the President and sup
porter of the Radical policy, has
changed ground and is now fighting
manfully in the Conservative ranks. In
an article on the way in which the
Republicans are running the country,
the Post says:
If there was no other reason why
the Republican party should be driven
from power ar nnon +h0 g. SlA"0 us
corrupt protective" policy is rapidly
running our home industry would be
sufficient 1t is sober truth that I'M
der the policy imposed upon the coun-
try by the Republican party, some of
the branches of industry in which we
ought to and do excel are almost ruined
and all others are threatened. Thus,
under the Republican rule we drift
rapidly towards national poverty and
bankruptcy.
The Post further illustrates the bad
effect of high protective tariff on
American mechanics by showing that
Sewing Machine which costs the
manufacturer $50 in currency at New
York, can be made in Paris for SO rs
in gold or less than S15 in greenbacks.
An American mandatory of Sewing
Machines has been opened in Paris
fitted up with American tools and
worked by American mechanics. The
very same men and the very same i'm
plements that had been making
the same machines in this
country. The reason why the
machines can be manufactured for so
much less in Paris is that the Radical
policy of high tariff under the pre-
tense of protection, imposes such
enormous duties on iron and the 9th
er materials necessary for manufactu-
ring purposes that skilled mechanics
here are unable to compete with foreign
artisans
We are gratifed to see that the in
EQUITIES of the Radical tariff intended
to impoverish the South, are felt by
the working men of the North. The
remedy is in their hands. Drive the
Radicals from power, let the South be
represented and the tariff can be so
modified as not to affect injuriously
any branch of industry.
