Death of Hon. Howell Cobb

We are panied to learn that Hon.
Howell Cobb, of Georgia, died recent
~ of an apoplectic fit in the city Of
New York. General Cobb belonged to
a family distinguished for great talents
and virtue. He was about So years of
age. He was first elected to Congress
from Georgia in 1843 and served eight
consecutive years. In l849, after a
long contest he was elected Speaker
over Hon. Robert c. Winthrop, and
was the youngest man that ever presi-
ded over the House of Representatives.
with the exception of Mr.. Hunter. In
1851 he was elected governor of Geor-
gia, as an advocate of the "Compromise
measures" over Mr.. Mcdonald, the
State Rights candidate. He was Secre-
tary Of the Treasury under the Buch-
anan administration. Governor Cobb
entered the Confederate service early
in the war and rose to the rank of Ma.
jor- General. At the time of his death
he was actively engaged in promoting
the election of the Democratic Candi-
dates for the Presidency and Vice Pres
ldency. gi5lzsl9a aitl t4sf5 33tta +-- Eis

TO THE CoLoRED VOTERS.

1t behooves every colored voter at
the present crisis to think we'll before
he casts his vote for the Radical can
didates. Let the colored voter remem-
Der that the election of the Radical
candidates this Fall is the aim which
the Radicals have had in view for the
last three years, and for which they
have been preparing all that time. 1t
was to secure that result that all their
measures with regard to the colored
voters have been concocted. For this
the Freedmen's Bureau was constitu-
ted and rations issued to the colored
people. For this, they lavished prom
ises of cOnfiscatiOn, and pretended that
every colored man should have mule
and forty acres of land. If Grant
should be elected all the fat offices will
be secured by the carpet-bag Radicals
and they will have no further use for
colored votes. Then what is to become
of the colored peoplef The Radicals
have no power to aid them. because it
is the Southern people who have the
lands and have the power to give the
colored people work and bread. It is,
then, the duty of every colored voter
to vote the Democratic ticket and
make friends of the men who can help
them. If Grant is elected all the col
ored men will be left to starve.

L
| a. Texas Tonic SYRUP, Remedy
Invaluable as it is cheap. More people
have lost their lives in mistaken efforts
to prolong existence than were ever
killed in battle.
Powerful mineral medicines admin
istered In common place remedial dis
eases, as in Intermittent, and Bilious
Remittent Fevers, are perilous to life
and have often shortened the term of
existence. Remedies of this character
can only be used in safety when adj
mlnistered by the most learned and
skilfu1 physicians. 1t therefore hap
pens that a preparation composed of
harmless ingredients, and yet sure be-
yond all contingency in it's effects, is of
priceless value everywhere in the
Southern country. Intelligent pliysi-
clans are often remote and Teyers in
many forms prevail. Therefore q sure,
simple and harmless remedy like the
Texas Tonic SYRUP becomes invalua-
bic in a family. A bottle should have
a place in every household Christian

THE ELECTIONS.

We publish to-day the returns of the
elections held in the great Northern
States on the 18th inst. Our readers
can read them and understand their
full extent. We will not attempt to
disguise the fact that we had good
hopes that the result would have been
more favorable to the Democrats-but
at the same time we cannot allow our
self to despair and become Desperate
The returns from either State are
not complete enough to enable us to
ascertain to what extent the former
majorities of the Radicals have been
reduced. We know enough to satisfy
us that the revolution against the Rad
icals has not attained the proportions
we had been led to believe from nu-
merous cheering accounts and details
we have been reading in our democrat
ic exchanges. Still let us bear in mind
that the issues in those States were
more OF less local, and that the Presi-
dental contest is to be decided on the
Sd of November, and acas not SO deci-
ded on the 18th inst. We are thus par
ticular to jog the minds of some de-
f'lnct democrats who have let all hollis
so and are actually waiting for decent
burial. Let it be remembered that the
majority in Maine was reported at first
to be $4,000, then $4,000, then 81 900,
and now it seems from the official fig
ures to have been reduced to less than
1900. Even now in the late elections
things are working the same way
We say to our friends there is hope yet,
good hope and we must fight it out to
the bitter end. We must do our duty,
our whole duty-let the consequences
be what they may. We can and must
carry our own State, our own Parish.
We must look nearer home for our
and depend on our own eff
Forts for success near home. It is for
he people of the Southern States to |
work the more vigorously to bring
hose States into the Democratic line |
before the November election. We
AVE all along paid but little attention
o the Southern States, for the reason
hat we felt confident that our North
I'm friends could fight it ont without
'nr assistance. Now, however, the
hing has changed, and we must carry
very Southern. State for the Demo-
ratio ticket. 1t behooves the Democ-
acy of the South to infuse new vigor
nto their actions and to work unceas-
ugly until our triumph is secured. It
oes not become a great party to give
'ay to misfortune, Or to succumb I'M
er defeat. tta-- -

a The Picayune makes lame eff.
fort to defend itself against our charge
of an attempt to dictate to the country
press. Like everything else that ap-
pears in its columns, its explanation is
enveloped in such maze of meaning
less and long winded sentences that
we can make neither head nor tail of
1t. The only sensible thing in it is an
q ,ologetic confession that the editor of
the Picayune is incapable of filing the
editorial chair of the Democrat. We
suppose that we are bound to applaud
his candor in admitting what has long
been apparent to those who take the
trouble to read the columns of his pa
per. If the people of Rapides are as
sensible as the Picayune says they are,
they would never tolerate. for any

70 The Radical managers here are
making big calculations and prepara-
lions for the election day here. We
can hear reliably of their boasts, their
threats, their big war talk and such
nonsense. The Democrats here are
working well and openly and only want
and ask their rights, and what is aure
and certain, they intend to have them
at all hazards and under all circum-
stances. Big talk and radical bullying
is played out and woe to the lscalawag
or Carpet-bagger, who incites or raises
a MUS on that day. The whites of
Rapides and Alexandria do not intend
to give an inch; they have borne much
thus far and have now their patience
over taxed and exhausted. We ask,
we want, and must have fair election.
