Representatives, &C., SC. We only hope
they will run two candidates. We shall
beat them, then, as easily as LINCOLN dia

sufficient cause for all the moneycd men
of the North to rcpudiate the Republican
party. These worshippers of Mammon are
not going to vote for any man whose cleo

bonds and greenbacks-not even If ltWere
CHASE or GRANT. We need. not trouble
ourselves to court their support Ii we
have only one candidate and the Repuo-

ton into the House. The national debt IS
a giant of conservative. SO true is this
that some statesmen consider "national

a--A---4hnt douhla +ro ol. of walls he laid
"with double tread or face to the wheels,
sand substantial fange in the centre Of

q" each line of rails" We suggest that, il
Mr.. GARDENERS plan be adopted, it would
be well to build the railroads on a straight
line. Otherwise "each line Of rails " will
suffer tremendous strains wherever there
are curves in the roads. GREELEY, we
imagine, is as we'll qualified to instruct
railroad men upon this subject as GOLD

proposed TO send some one to China

A SENSATION TELEGRAM.-Thet telegram
in the northern papers stating that reign
Of terror prevails in Amelia, Nottoway
Prince Edward, Lunenburg, Halifax, Neck
lenburg, and Pittsylvania, has but slight
foundation in fact. 1t doubtless grew out
of the report that General SCHoFIELD had
been requested to send troops to Halifax
county to prevent trouble among the
negroes on Christmas day. General S.
anticipates no trouble Of the kind referred
to-, and has heard nothing Of this "reign of
terror" We have received letters from
some of the counties named, wristen since
Christmas, which do not allude to any
alarm among the whites. Our condition
Is bad enough, but not quite so bad as that

"Nearly all the matter embraced in the

years since in course of lectures to the
classes coming under the instruction Of
Mr.. CoLCoCK as Professor Of Ecclesiastical
History and Church Polity in the Theologi-
cal Seminary of the Synods of South Caro-

tative source of the history Of the Church
of God.

women are generally free, are the cause
OF this excess among the men. SugIe men
seem more addicted to insanity than those
who are married, while the reverse holds
true OF women. OF the men inmates 1885
were bachelors, and ll33 benedicts. while
932 women were minated in wedlock, 1924
were married. The age at which insanity is
developed is generally between twenty and
