Gen. d. H. Hill, in an article pub.
lished in his Magazine, says inciden-
tally that it is the duty Of voters in
the South to elect men to Office "whose
consistent Unionism will be satisfacto-
ry to the dominant party"
If Gen. Hill had qualified his. coun-
sci by the words federal Office" it
would have met our entire approval
1t will be idle to reenact the farce of
electing persons to Congress who can
not take the oath prescribed, that they
have never borne arms against the
United States, nor given aid and COM
fort to others thus employed. Though
the range from which selections VIII
be required to be made in order to
elect persons who are eligible under
this stringent and unjust law, is limit
ed, yet they can be found-and men
too, whose sympathies are with the
South, and will serve her faithfully if
the people choose to elect them though
they may not have approved her at
tempt to establish separate Govern
ment.
For the present, let ambition sleep.
No man should permit his name to be
used for an important office, knowing
in advance that he will not
be allowed to perform its duties.
In regard to State offices, the
range of selection will not be so re-
stricted. They are accessible to any
persons who are entitled to vote under
the Reconstruction laws. Under these
acts, the vast body of young, ardent !
and patriotic men who followed the
fortunes of the Confederate flag, are
eligible to any State office within the
gift of the people if they have attain
ed the age prescribed by the Constitu-
ton. There are many old men Of /
sound judgment, matured thought
md ability, who have heretofore stood
aloof from public affairs, but who
low, in the interest of their country,
will be induced to give it the benefit
If their services. It will be the part
If wisdom, to give more attention to
'ur local governments, and less to
ederal politics, than heretofore.
Iere in Mississippi, is ample scope
or the display of the highest order of
craftsmanship. Our laws are to be
emodled and adapted to the new era
nd he who gives the energies of his
ody, and of his mind to the work. ]
nd performs it successfully, will
ntitle himself to be called public
enefactor.

The Memphis Bulletin mentions that Elder
Peter Lowry, a respectable colored man,
proposes to establish in some central posi-
tion in Middle Tennessee, an Industrial
school, for the training of the colored youth
of the State. The school is to be manual
labor shool, in which not only practical
agriculture, but the mechanics arts will be
taught. Ell Ter Lowry proposes to purchase
five hundred acres of land, and to require
that his pupils shall produce all they con-
sumo, in the matter of provisions. These
manual labors, whilst they will not interfere
with the regular studies of the school, will
be important, not only in point of economy,
but as means of training the students in
the useful arts, and giving them habits of
industry.

DEATH OF AN OLD CoUPLE.-It is our
painful duty to record this week, the
death of two of our Oldest and most
respected citizenship Daniel Woot-
en- and wife. Mr. Wooten died on
Sunday morning last, at his residence
near this place, at the advanced age of
seventy eight years, and his wife died
on Wednesday morning last, at the
age of seventy-four. They lived a
long life togetherin peace, and in death
they were not separated. Peace to
their ashes Carrollton Conserva-
tive.

The proposed union ofthe Old and
New School Presbyterian Churches
has already been announced. The
committee who have agreed upon the
terms of union have, it is said, among
other things, prescribed that no rule
or precedent which does not stand APP
proved by both bodies shall be of any
authority until re-established in the
united body, and that judicatories,
ministers and people of the united
Church shall guard against all need
less offensive reference to slavery.
Thus the Presbyterians Of America
bid fair to end a religious difference
which has existed for thirty years.

ALABAMA.

|
the Reconstruction acts are favorable
in Alabama. There seems to be no
organized opposition in that State to
the assembling of such body. W.
observe with qualification that the
Montgomery Mail, which has hitherto
represented the main element of oppo.
sition to Reconstruction,in the newspa.
pers of the State, has so far modified lis
course as to declare in favor of q
Convention, believing that "to vote
down a Convention would be to bring
down upon us further disfranchise-
ment." We understand its policy to
be to elect an assemblage OF intelligent,
honorable men thoroughly devoted to
the interests Of the State, and confide
to them the responsibility of changing
the Constitution of the State, or not,
as they may deem most conducive TO
the welfare of the people, by the light
of circumstances which may exist at
the time of their meeting.
This is long stride in the right
direction. 1t is infinitely preferable
to the non-action policy of voting
down the Convention, which is urged
in this State by the anti Reconstruc-
tionists, and which is equivalent to
voting for a continuation of military
rule until Congress passes another
law authorizing only such persons to
participate in the primary organization
as can take the iron clad oath of 1862,
in virtue of which ninety nine hun
dredths of our white citizens will be
from the ballot box.
But yet it does not go far enough.
1t is wiser to realize at once that the
present Congress has a term of two
years to run, and that the excluded
States can be readmitted only on such
terms as it may prescribe; and that it
is better therefore, to elect members
to Convention pledged to accept the
terms rendered without hesitation or
delay. To this complexion, unpleas-
ant as the reflection may be, it must
ZONE at last. The refusal of the Su-
oreme Court to take Jurisdiction of
he questions involved in the Military
avs, removes every ground of hope
or relief from their enforcement,
which the opposers of Reeonstruc-
ion occupied, and nothing is left but
o reorganize under them, or to accept
he alternative proposition of prolong-
d military rule, with the certainty of
Ultimately organizing upon some other
Ian dictated by the dominant party,
hitch would probably exclude all
rom the polls except the blacks and /
be so-called loyalists of the Brown
Nv clan. For this reason, while we
eJoice to see that our opposition
-iends in Alabama have so far modi-
ed their position as to advocate the
gliding of a Convention, we shall ad-
Use in Mississippi the election of men t
no will face the issue squarely, and 4
ledge themselves to put the State a
trough on the shortest route to Re- c
instruction in conformity to the re- o
lirements Of Congress, B

appreciate my situation and they very
properly complain for having to pay taxes,
while others fail to discharge that duty to

for ocffiers to have to use the means required
to enforce collections.
The taxes have been reduced so per cent.
this year, and are not so high as in any 9th

that all might now settle, while warrants
can be had at depreciation, without delay.

"Ex-Gov. Foote, has published in the
St. Louis Democrat, the first Of a
series of articles on universal suff-
rage. In this article, which is very
long, he .alludes to the question of
woman's suffrage as grave and inter

is wanting to keep our country ex-

evils of an alarming character.

For restoring hair upon bald heads (from

forcing growth of hair upon the face, it has
no equal. 1t will force the beard to grow
upon the smoothest face in from five to eight
weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two
to three months A few ignorant practition.
ers have asserted that there is nothing that
will force or hasten the growth of the hair
or beard. Their assertions are false as
thousands of living witnesses (frOm their
own experience) can bear witness But
many will say, how are we to distinguish the
genuine from the spurious2 1t certainly is
difficult, as nine-tenths of the different Pre-

are entirely worthless, and you may have al
ready thrown away large amounts in their
purchase. To such we would say. try the
