YOUNG DOUGLAs.-Robert NJ, the eldest
son of the dead Stephen A. Douglas, has been
making n Radical speech in Raleigh, North
Carolina, which the Radical papers feel very
much tickled with. The young man, judged
by this adolescent effort, appears to be vexed
and mortified because he was not petttd and
courted while in the North, by Democrats, and
intimates that it was on account Of his fathers
Puritan blood and birth that he did not receive
homage And to avenge himself on the Demo-
Gratis of the North for this assumed neglect of
himself, the young (Black) Douglas turns upon
the Democracy of his own native State, North
Carolina, where the native white citizens are
much Mt the mercy of white carpet baggers
aud freedmen. We think the young man will
not live famous in history any longer than did
his fathers Popular Sovereignty doctrine,
unless it be of the same style of fame; and
readers will recollect that Popular Sove-
reipnty" died of itself, without costing even
its-weakest opp"nent blow to crush it, and Is
remembered only to be laughed ut.

The Frpedmen's Bureau authorities here are
in decided frrmcnt over the published an-
nouncement that Gen. Sibley's report touching
the Camilla riot has been received at head
quarters, and it is stated that there has been
no such report There is positive information,
however, that it has been received, and that 1t
covers over thirty pages of foolscap. and for
week all applications for it have been unsuc
cessful IL is learned that this morning orders
were issued at Gen. Thomas headquarters that
the representatives of the press should not
have access to anything Of a public character
received from the agents and commanders IN
the South, without express authority from eth
er Col. Seward, or his Adjutant General Sew

to have been correct. h.
We may be sure that Gen. sibley's report

TREASON AND TRAITORS.--In commenting
upon the character of Howell Cobb, of Geor.
gia, lately deceased, the Sacramento Union
says: "Of oil those who took part in the late
rebellion, none deserves better to rank with
Benedict Arnold than Howell Cobb" We
think, if copyists of Arnold are looked for, it il
not among the great leaders of the "late re
bellion search should be made. Treason
against the Constitution is really a crime
against the Government; but rightful opposi.
ton to party, or q President, or Congress
is not. And Of traitors to the Constitution q
most plentiful crop can be gathered in the pres.
ent Radical Congress, and very heavy crop
of the same sort in New England, where Ar.
mold came from-the Garrisons. Phillipses and
their followers. But if traitors in the South
be looked for. We think viler one than ex.
Gov. Jo Brown of Georgia cannot be raked
out from the whole detestable crew of South.
ern renegades and of rapucious carpet-baggers
The organ of tine party which, before the war,
hOwled for a dissolution of the Union, and for
"nO Union with Shareholders" is not the one to
charge treason against others. The spirit o
Benedict Arnold undoubtedly smiles its appro
baton of the course aud policy of the Radical
party of the present day. Arnold tried to sell
his country to the British. The Radical High
Priest Burlingame, who went to China in quest
of his - Anti-Slavery Bible and Anti-Slavery
God" we suppose, has undertaken to sell out
the laboring men Of his own country to the
horde ct Chinese, to whom he has sold him
SELF The consideration in both cases wa,
much money and high office. Arnold was
stung to revenge on the Patriot cause by what
he deemed to be Sights of his services ard
sacrifices; Burliagame deserted the post t,
which his country assigned him without an!
real or apparent slight towards him by any il
authority. arnold sold himself to an enlight
ened nation; Burlingame has s"ld himself t,
the worst Pagan and delni-barbaran Empir,
in the world What does the Cn:ah think %

A Courteous Retort.

A local minister in England, who was dis
tinguished for disinteres.ed labor and ready
wit, devoted several years of the last part Of
his life to gratuitous labor in new cause, in
populous town about three miles from his
residence, to which place he walked every
Lords day morning, preaching three times,
as he walked along, mediating on his SER
mons for the day, he met the parish priest.
We'll --," said his reverence, {" I
suppose you are on your way to your preaching
again"
"Yes, SIR" was the modest reply of the
humble minister.
sit is high time Government took up this
subject, and put a stop to this kind of travel
ing preaching"
"They will have rather hard work, sir"
replied the imperturbable minister.
81 am not very sure of that" reioiued the
priest; sat any rate> I will see whether
cannot stop you myself"
''I judge" said the worthy man, "you will
find it more difficult than you suppose
Indeed, there is but one way to stop my
preaching, but there are three ways to stop
yours"
"What, fellow, do you mean by that ?"
asked his reverence, in towering passion.
why, sir, replied the little preacher, with
most provoking coolness, '' there is but one
way of stopping my preaching, that is, by
cutting my tongue out but there are three
ways to stop yours for, take your book from
you, and you can't preach take your grown
from you, and you dare not preach and
take your pay from you, and you t0on't preach"

A House of Your Own,

Next to being married to the right person
there is nothing so important in ones life as
to live under ones own roof
There is something more than a poetical
charm in the expression of the wife I'VE
have our cozy home it is thrice dear to us,
because it is our own. We have bought it
with the savings of our earnings. Many were
the soda fountains, the confectionery saloons.
and the niceties of the market we had to pass;
many times my noble husband denied himself
the comfort of tobacco, the refreshing drausht
of beer; wore his old clothes and even
patched up boots; and I. o me, made my
old bonnet do, wore the plainest clothes and
did the plainest cooking saving was the or
der of the hour; and to have "a house of
our own" has been our united aim
Snow we have it there is NO landlord
troubling US with raising the rent and exact
ing this and that. There is no fear harbor-
ing in our bosom that in sickness or old age
we will be thrown out of house and home, for
it is our own, and the money we have saved
to pay rent is sufficient to keep us in comfort
in the winter days of life"
What lesson does the above words teach,
and how we'll would it be if hundreds of fami-
lies would heed them, aud instead of living
in rented houses, which takes large share
of their capital to furnish, and quarter of
their earnings to pay the rent, dress and eat
correspondingly, would bravely curtail their
expenses and concentrate their efforts of hav-
ing "house of their own" Better cot
tage of your own than rented palace.

An Important Suit.

The most important case that engaged the
attention of the Circuit Court at its present
session, and one that elected most interest
among the members of the bar and outsiders
generally, from the heavy amount involved,
and the somewhat singular circumstances at
tending it, was the chancery suit of Bowers
and wife, &C., as. Mccormick, &C., which
shows that the wealth of this world, when
deemed most secure, is not unfrequently held
by an uncertain tenure.
This was a suit brought last April in the
Circuit Court of Clarke, and removed to this
county for trial The object of the suit IS to
recover very valuable farm of 800 acres on
the Shenandoah River, worth about S30, 900
which the plaintiffs aHege belonged to their
mother before her marriage, in 1872, and was
settled by marriage settlement on their
mother for life, and after her death to go to
her children The mother died in Missis
sippi in 1865. The farm was sold in 1915
more than half century ago-by husband
and wife and trustee, to the parties under
whom defendents in possession hold. The
plaintiffs produce no title papers and no wit
nesses, insisting that the rectals in the deeds
to the purchasers in 1913, prove there was
such marriage settlement. The defendants
rely on their possession for 30 years, and call
for proof of the marriage settlement.

much ability by the other counsel on both
sides, and the papers given to the Judge, who
will probably not render his decision until the
next term of the court.-Leesburg Mirror.

MISCELLANEOUS.
Methuselah Drowned in the Flood.


We make the following extracts from an
article contributed to the Louisville Democrat:
All we know of the origin of the earth or
our race we learn from Revelations. The
chronology used by the civilized world is
founded on the dates furnished US in the
Bible We reckon the date of the flood from
the dates found in the 9th chapter Of Genesis.
We learn from this chapter that Adam lived
before his son Seth was born l30 years Seth
lived before his son Enos was born los years /;
Enos lived before his son Cainan was born
80 years Cainan lived before his son Maha-
lalul was born 20 years Mahalalul lived
before his son Jared was born 65 years; Jared
lived before his son Enoch was boru 1872
years Enoch lived before his son Methuselah
(6S7) was borne 65 years Methuselah lived
before his son Lamech was born 1S7 years /;
LamecK lived before his son Noah was born
1S2 years. Noah, hence, was born Anno
Mundi 1O56. -.... +
In Genesis, 7th chapter, 9th verse, we are
informed that Noah was 600 years old when
the food of water was upon the earth. Add
600 years (his age) to ], ,056 the date of his
birth, and we have 1866 the date of the
flood. We learn from the 9th verse, 5th
chapter of Genesis, that call the days of
Methuselah were 969 years, and he died.
By reference to the foregoing table it will be
seen that Methuselah was born Ammo Mundi
687 add his age, 969, to 6S7, the date of his
birth, and we have 1856, the time ''when
the flood of water was upon the EARTH" The
conclusion is as certain as figures that the
oldest man was drowned for his wickedness.
land is a remarkable proof Of the truth of
the Bible figures.
