'sThe Democratic Party is Dead"

How often we hear the above assertion
falling from the lips OF those who, If the
Democratic party is dead, as they assert
are trembling in their boots in very fear of
the ghost Of that dead party, even when the
sun is at meridian. But is the Democratic
party deadY Let two millions and a hall
of real live Democrats answer. Is the
Democratic party dead? If so, 1t is the
largest and most lively political corpse
ever seen In this country, and the Radical
leaders will find, IL they undertake to cof-
fin and bury it, that neither boards, nor
bolts, nor bars, nor even fetters Of steel,
can conflne its remains. Dead No, no,
think not that because for time its
leaders were eXiles, or confined in
bastiles. and suffering under the ban
and iron heel of tyranny, that the party
died-that it no longer had vitality. fthe
conspirators at Washington have thus be-
guiled themselves while attempting the de-
struction of the white mans government,
the white mans liberties, and the very
existence of the white race on this conti-
nent, by their fanaticism and their intend
ed mongrelism, let them be at once unde-
ceived, for so sure as God liueth they will
yet find that party power in the land that
will consign them to their proper sphere,
and save the liberties and government OF
the people.

GB Mr.. l.. NJ. CRANE, who has a paper
mill near Ballston Spa, has recently per-
fected an invention that will interposea bar
to counterfeiting greater than any yet
made. He has invented machinery where
by minute threads of gutta perch can be
run into sheets Of bank note paper, in the
course of its manufacture, that will be in
delible, and that cannot be counterfeited.
He proposes to offer his invention to the
government, so that it can manufacture the
paper for all National Bank notes, the same
as it does the engraving and printing, His
plan contemplates making each denomina-
ton differently, as is perfectly practical
with his machinery. Thus one dollar bills
have one thread through each, two dollars
bills two threads, five dollars three threads,
four threads for tens, five for twenties, six
for fifties, seven for one hundreds, eight foI
five hundreds, and nine for thousands. II
the Government secures this invention, II
can be used for bonds and coupons also.

Getting Shaky.

Messrs. BINGHAM, BAKER, DODGE, and
other Representatives of the Radical School,
have taken alarm and plainly told Messrs,
STEVENS, boutwell,, ASHLEY, and such
men, that they win follow them no farther

that the country has claims above faction

GB- A few years ago LEONARD JEROME
boughta tract of land very cheap, 1t was his
intention to create small village, where
mechanics and others could reside. The
rage for sporting springing up, he con-
cluded to turn his plot of ground into a
racing course. Obtaining the countenancc
ofVANDERDILT, BELMONT, and other sport
ing men, he formed a club, made it all the
rage, and sold his purchase at an enormous
price, so that horse-racing, with all its at
tendants, is fully inaugurated among the
elite Of New York. Everything that
JEROME touches seems to turn to gold. A
fewyears ago he was the proprietor Of the
Rochester American, and so poor that he
could scarcely pay for his telegraphic dis
patches. He now measures his wealth
with the richest men of the city. He is
the most daring speculator in Wall street
He drives the most fashionable team in
Central Park. He has the finest stable in
the land, and will have house to surpass
STEWARDS. He is the leader of all fashion
able sports, and pocketed $4,000 in the
recent yacht race, having bet on the Hen
rietta.

Butler and Grant.

1t will be remembered that when WEN
DELL PHILLIPS, the originator of the i'm
peachment project, first urged its execution,
in October last, he demanded that it should
be applied to GRANT as well as JOHNSON.
According to the Boston report of his
speech, now before us, he pronounced
GRANT to be ''unft to hold his Office" and
declared that it was GRANT and not JOHN
son who occupied the most humiliating
position on this Continent" 1t now seems
that General BUTLER, who took up WEN
DELL PHILLIPS idea of impeachment, agreed
with him both in regard to GRANT and
JOHNSON. BUFFERS original draft of the
impeachment resolution offered in Congress
by Mr.. ASHLEY, included "any officer of
the Government" along with the President,
and aimed at the trial of General GRANTas
well as President JOHNSON. WENDELL
PHILLIPS charge against GRANT was that
it was he who was responsible for the
blOodshed and persecution in the streets of
Memphis and New Orleans, and besides this
special charge, he was general accomplice
of the President.

Immense Bank Profits.

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser states
that the First National Bank of that city
has. in a period of four years. accumulated
a surplus greater than its original capital.
and, without imposing this surplus, it paid
its proprietors a dividend for the past year
of fifty per cent.
No wonder the National Banks are so
earnest in their opposition to RANDALL's
bill for reducing the volume of the cur
rency. Let the people ask themselves
who pays these immense profits to these
National Banks?
tTs-The Boston Commonwealth is of the
ASSASSINATION species. 1t declares the will
of the people omnipotent, and adds,
France demonstrated it when LOUIS the
Sixteenth yielded his life at the demand of
a baffled populace. 1t may be reserved for
America to add to the list of notable pre-
cedents through the obstinacy of eXecu-
tives and the prostitution of the judiciary"
To this the Post significantly adds: Here

President. These Radicals had better have
a care. PRoCRUsTEs was stretched upon

eB- The save trade was undertaken and
defendedby New England and Old England,
in the name ofjustice and humanity. When
the conscience of the Southern planter re-
volted against enslaving the poor creatures,
he was told that the negroes were merely
brought over to save them from being
killed and eaten by those Africans who had
captured them in war, and that the slave
trade was a great, wise and merciful insti-
tuition in the interest Of Justice and human
ity, for the suppression of Canuibalism and
the dissemination of civilization among the
blacks.

For the frst time since this paper has
been under the control Of its present edi-
tor and proprietor, we hoist the name of a
political leader at the masthead of our pa
per. If parties were honest and bOnora-
bic as they were in the days Of Whiggery
and Democracy, we would not now violate
Che resolve formed at the first. to keep
aioof from politics. But the times have
sadly changed, and instead Of the noble
old parties Of the olden time, which differ
ed only in the means of attaining the same
ends. to-wit: The perpetuatiOn Of free
government and guaranteeing the largest
liberty to the masses, we have party,
powerful and in power, which seeks to hui
initiate and Cypress the great majority Of
our peoples party which, in order to
perpetuate its power in the State, has al
ready deprived four-ffths of the. tax pay
ers and property owners of any voice in
directing how their money shall be apprO-
prioted, and how they shall be governed.
Laws have been made in violation of law,
and the bayonet used to enforce them, sole
ly for the purpose of despoiling the peo-
pie and peFpetuating their hold on the
purses of the taxpayers. Brownlowism
disregards law, order and deceney, and we
have determined to fight it. Our leaders,
for the State and for the Congressional dis
triet, are we'll known to the people as men
of answering loyalty and unimPeachable
integrity. Their voices have both been
heard by the peopleof Tennessee, from Car
ter to Shelby, in advocacy of glorious old
Wing principles. Fhey were true to the
people and to the government then, and
have never swerved from duty or principle
since.
Whether right or wrong, EMERSON
ETHERIDGE and EDMUND COOPER
adhered to the Government honestly
faithfully and undeviatingly through the
late bloody war, and when the Confederate
armies surrendered, claimed that the wal
should cease and the South be restored to heI
place in the Union. We honor them fol
their honesty, and cheerfully give them
our support. They are the true friends o.

on bread and bacon and turuips. The

we do not speak of this as derogatory of
the young iailor, who is new at his voca-

the i'll adaptation of the prison for Jail pur-
poses. Extraordinary attention to cleaning
the buildings daily, washing them out
thoroughly with water, and frequently
white-washing the cells with lime, and
sprinkling Chlorideof Lime in the corners
of the cells, will baYe to be resorted to,

in too harsh terms. It is almost entirely
owing to the deficiency of the building,
but if inspectors are appointed and made
do their duty in having extraordinary
measures resorted to, much may be done
to alleviate their condition. Whilst speak
ing plainly on this subject we beg leave to
say that we feel that We cannot insist too
strongly on something being done and thai

of those confined and that they may be

We understand from the jailor that those

and filed with stencil, and without relief
Now as those men are in iron-lined cells
we do not think they can escape, and we
pray Your Honor, that they may have the
anklets and hand-cuffs taken off them.

ON THE COUNTY JAIL.

ON THE COUNTY JAIL.
Il accordance with our instructions from
the Honorable Court, we have visited the
county Jail IN the county seat here. and ex.
amined it as building, and examined into
the condition of building, the food, and
health of prisoners, etc.
We think it beautiful, highly ornamen-
tai building. and. in that respect, reflects
credit on the Architect for his design for
beauty, but we beg to report, that all the
building is consumed in fitting up a COM
Portable dwelling for the Tailor and his fam
lily. and only a small portion is left to be
used and fitted up for a prison. There are
ten cells in the prison, all of which are so
small that they more resemble cages for
wild animals than prison cells for human
beings. Two of the cells have been re-
Gently lined with iron, and are reported
very secure--we noticed that those were
very dark and dungeon like. The remain
ing cells are yet unlined, and very inse-
cure for prisoners. Owing to the small
size Of the cells. no more than two prison
ers should ever be placed IN cell, aud we
think one 10 a cell would be enough we

think the County Jail Of Giles, will prove

disgrace to its county and citizens. The

For the Citizen.l
Fruit Culture.


PULASKI, April Is, 1867.
Old things have passed away. All
things are fast becoming new, and it is
matter of anxious thought how the people
are to. best accommodate themselves to
their surroundings, and reproduce those
comforts and Injuries with which they
have been blessed all their lives. Our
people of Giles county are eminenlyl fit
ted by their intelligence, industry and fru
gality, for a great Agricultural and Horti-
cultural people, and when these essentials
are combined with adaptation of climate
and soil, the most amazing results obtain.
Who will deny the proposition that our
climate is scarcely to be equaled, that our
lands are susceptible of the highest posi-
BILE degree Of cultivation, and that the en-
ergy aud industry of our people are pro-
verbal; and these being the essential ele-
ments of a country's greatness, it necessa-
rily follows that our people of Giles coun-
ty, can, with prompt and proper direction
to their efforts, become, indeed, a rich and
great people. Now the question is some
what perplexing. as 10 what direction must
be given to our labor in order to reach
the result desired.
The exhausted cotton lands admonish
the intelligent farmer. that he must cease
his suicidal course of excessive cultivation
Of the cotton plant, or very soon they will
fail to give a return to him at all, aud as
this painful fact fastens upon his mind,
the question as to what else can I plant
probably f? becomes indeed Perplexing.-
Cotton IS the product from which he reali-
zss all the cash that he handles, be feels
that stock and grain raising are but little
more than Femunerstiye, and in dispair of
finding anything better, be again deter
mines to plant cotton, although he feels and
knows chat he will be compelled to abandon
cotton raising soon, yet it is extremely diff
fcult for him TO determine what be will
raise in its stead.
Now sir among other things that may
be at this time engaging the attention of the
farmer, in ordersto a solution of these diff
fculties, would direct his most serious
attention to the subject of fruit raising
From the best information that Lean gather
/ from all fruit countries, through the pub
Iished reports of their PomologIcal SOcie-
ties. am deeply impressed with the con
viction, that fruit growing would be a com
plete success in Giles county.-that it
would not only be perhaps a more certain
crop than any other. if properly selected
and planted, but you'd returas-tsn fold
