CHANGING HANDs.-Quite a number
of farms in our vicininity have changed
hands within the past few days. Gen
B. j. Hill disposed of hia farm in the
vicinity of town, a few days since, to
some gentleman from Pennsylvania.
We did not learn the price realized,
but it should have been handsome, az
it was an excellent farm. j. B. Arpo,
we learn. has disposed of his farm ly.

The Southern "Elccti0n" NOckery


Every day that there is the mockcry
of an election in any Of the Southern
States, the telegraph announces that
"the election is progressing quietly"
thus unconsciously uttering u most
biting sarcasm. But, in view of the
fact that every poll is guarded by Uui,
ted States soldiers all armed cap pie,
the world ask, what could be expec-
ted but quiet!
"On the other side, (adds the Eli.
tor, what q severe commentary Is the
presence ofthis same so!diery upon the
Radical mode Of reconstruction. SO
far as our memory serves us, there has
not been in all the Southern States
since they were PLACED under military
rule, single instance Of disturbance
OF the peace that was not caused by
negroes. Possibly they were not Who'll,
ly guilty, since in more than one case
it has been proven that they were in
cited to disorderly conduct by their pre-

which We aave printed. all the accounts
which We have seen, concur in the
statement that the white population
are anxious for the preservation of per
feet peace; in fact, were they other

who are disgracing the Uditcd States
uniforms by attempting to coerce tht
Southern States into the Radical ranks
The Vicksburg Times of Saturday
says:
"During the incarceration of Maj
w. H. McCardle, the Times will be cd
tied by the manager, S. Med. Vernon,
and its readers will find no change in
sentiment or boldness. If any more
arrests are to be made, our Office is
open. Il \ Haynau-Gessler Ord,
nor any Of his under- Sutraps, can stop
the Times when it proposes to help the
right, or denounce the wrong"
From another article in the same
number, in which the Times gives the
"lie direct" to the charges preferred
against Maj, McC., we extract the fol
lowing:
"Upon this gross and monstrous
usurpation ofmilitary power we have
but few words of comment. The state
ment of the startling fact carries with
it the commentary. Has lberty-the
freedom of the press, the rlgllt Of the
citizen to express his sentiments
been ruthlessly taken from us? If
this last damning outrage Of Hoynau-
Gsssler Ord IS permittcdto pass unre-
bukca, then, indeed, are we reduced to
.ne last and dircst extremity
From this it appears that the Vcks

and Herald continue their assaults, but
the Evening Telegraph puts in III ell
couraging word or two:

and whitening denunciation by the

GRANT, says the Knoxville True
Press, is still "betwecn hawk and buz-
zard." In IL word he is nigh used up
and played out The truth is rs the
Louisville Journal says, he is like ths
man with two wives in Esop's fable,
which appears to us SO felicitously to
illustrate Grants position that we beg
to reproduce it bodily, moral and all.
Here it is:
THE MAN AND HIS TWO WIVES.
In the days when man was allowed
more wives than one, q middle aged
bachelor, who could be called neither
young nor old, and whose hair was just
beginning to turn gray, must needs fall
in love with two women at once, and
marry them both. The one was young
and blooming, and wished her husband
to appear as youthful as herself The
other was somewhat more advanced
in age, and was as anxious that her
husband should appear suitable
match for her. SO while the young
one seized every opportunity Of pull
ling out the good mans gray hairs,
the old one was as Industrious in pluck
ing out every black hair she could find.
For while the man was highly graft
tied by their attention, till he found one
morning that between the one and the
other he had not hair left.
He that submits his principles to the
influence and caprices Of opsite parties
will end in having no principles at all.
All of which we respectfully inscribe
to Grant, who, if he don't pretty sooa
divorce one or the other Of his party
wives, will not have political harir
left. Let him put this into his cigar,
and smoke it. His "iuactiyity" has
ceased 10 be "masterly.'
