Land Tenures.

The feudal theory, under which all real
estate was held in Great Britain, was that
the entire realm primarily belonged to the
sovereign, and might be parcelled out and
disposed of by him according to his pleas
ure. When William the Conqueror as
cended the English throne, he divided the
conquered land among his followers, to
be held by them subject to certain con-
ditions These conditions are known by
the name Of tenures, and, upon their
violation, the land became forfeited, and
returned to the sovereign. This practice
was followed until the time Of Charles ii
when tenures were dissolved, saving only
those requiring honorable service.
The conditions which accompanied the
royal grant Of land were of service, either
in person or by proxy. or of tribute in
money or produce. The most common
tenure was of military service, under
which the lord of the manor was obliged
to accompany his sovereign to the wars
at the head Of body of soldiers proper
tionate to the extent and value of the ter
ritory over which he was lord. This ten
ne was Of the most simple kind, and wa
based upon the equitable principle tina
the land proprietors should be at all time
ready to defend the land against the na
tons foes.

aesh, and northern men have been the
hounds and slave hunters for their south
ern masters,
But that Almighty Being who presides
over the dostinies Of nations, and to whose
great and wise purposes all human events
must conform, had decreed il otherwise
He had ordained that slavery should die
in the house Of its friends and by its own
hands, and this war, forced upon us by
the South TO extend and perpetuate the
curse, should be the instrument Of its own
destruction and the means Of sweeping It
forever from the fsce Of the earth.
Itwas necessary that the army and ths
people should pass through this terrible
ordeal Of fire and blood, TO wean them
from their idols. and prepare their minds
for the glorious doctrines of this new
iispensation, and TO discipline them
for the work they were destined after
wards 10 accomplish. The sacrlhees have
been great, but the victory is sure and
eternity alone will unfold the glorious re-
suits.

REV. AARON LELAND. Of Chester was,

man, Hugh Henry, the father Of the
present United States Marshal for Yer

One of their encounters is thus related:

Facts TO be Resae,a sesed

Tue Lew York Express Of late date gives
some very important facts. which it will be
well to read aud preserve. Among them
we find
lst. That by taxes on the people. money
enough has been raised since the war to pay
more than half of the national debt, or the
sum equal TO 3, 500 for every one of the ne
groes made voters 4 10, ,0o0) in all the South
ern States.
ID. In 1850 a Democratic administration
LETT the government debt $50, ,000. 900. From
1901 to 1860, four years of war. the Radicals
increased this debt TO 1000, ,000, 900. From
1900 to 1903, three years OF peace, making
up with four years OF war, seven years OF
Radical supremacy, the country is more than
two thousand millions OF dollars worse of
than we were in 1860.
Sd. The navy before the war cost less
than thirteen millions per year, with the
shipping interests of the country fully pro-
tected all over the globe. The average cos,
for the three years since the war closed is over
forty millions per year, with our shipping
interest swept from the ocean by taxation
and high tariffs.
4th. To show the practical effect of Con-
gressional Reconstruction, six carpet-bag-
gers in the United States Senate from
Florida, North Carolina and Louisiana, will
balance the united Senatorial representation
OF New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. The
last can only represent an aggregate popu-
lation of Tin round numbers1 ten millions
OF tree Americans, constituting just one third
OF the entire population of the Union, and
owplng nearly one-half of the taxable prop
erty of the Republic Their votes are now
Deutrallzed hy six "Senators" under mil
itary domination. and representing popu-
ation of about 2,30o, 900, owning about one
thirteenth part of the taxable property of the
United States. Of these $500, 900, more
than one-balf are ignorant negroes, while of
tho remainder, constituting the American
population proper, three-iourths are refused
permission to participate in selecting their
Federal delegates.
5th. From June to July the public debt
increased at the rate of $4,000, 900 month /!
over SIS, ,000,0o0 a week over 81 ,750,-
900 day-over $4,000 an hour lover
81, 200 minute !-over $40 second An
other fact for ready Democratic reference.
9th. For four years the people of the
Union fought secession, and put down re-
bellion. But the Radicals in Congress turn.
ed around and have ever since been trying to
realize secession, and prove that it was sue
cesssul in taking ten States out of the Union
lth. The Constitution of Alabama is a
negro Constitution to the extent of 81 ,O0C
negro majority. In Georgia. Florida, the
Carolinas, Texas and Virginia, where the
whites had some 20,000 more registered yo
ters than the blacks, nevertheless, owing tc
the chronic discomfort, the vote showed q
negro majority of 25l 1896 And this order
of things the Radicals seek to make perpetual
Sth. In Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi,
Virginia and Louisiana, every voter must
swear that he recognizes and accepts the civil
and political equality of the black and white.
The Mississippi Convention numbered one
hundred, of whom seventy-fys are whites,
and only five Mississippians.

HEAVY on GoRHAM-We clip the followinc

HEAVY on GoRHAM.-We clip the following
from the Solano Sentinel of Oct. Sth:
| own and have in my possession '.Note. -
given by the Hon. George c. Garham, -
which reads as follows:
"MARYsvILLE, Nov. l6, 1857.
'On demand for value received promise 10
pay Nelson Wescoatt, or order, One Hundred
Dollars, with interest at the rate of two per
cent. per month, from date till paid.
GEO. C. GORHAM,'
propose to bet this mote" which, to-
gether with interest amounts to $3.50, against
si0O, that Seymour and Blair will carry
California at the election next November.
There has been no payment on the note, and
as "George" stands square on the Radical
platform of course he will not repudiate: and
as be belongs to that high-toned class of indi-
yiduals that hold to the doctrine that Note
never outlaws among gentlemen, notwith-
standing the State Limitation Laws. If
George" believes the doctrine that he is
heraldlng from the stump, this will offer a
rare opportunity for him to call in a note
that he never found time to pay. though he
often promised so to do \. WEscoarr.

Northern Papers Please Copy.

Hon. Howell Cobb writes the following
earnest protest against the abcminatle way
in which his recent speech at great meet
ing in Georgia has been perverted and mis-
represented at the North
Il entered this contest with desire fol
the success of our ticket which l never fell
before. Wearied with the bitter struggles
of the few years past, my heart painted for
peace, quiet and repose. In the election
of Governor Seymour and the success of the
Democratic party, | felt in common with
all our good people, there was rot only a
prospect but certainty of peace--an endur-
ing peace that would lift up our own desc
lated section and give to it new days of pros
perity; restoring, too, the past relations OF
brotherhood between the two sections, and
making us again a united and happy peo.
ple-united, not merely in name, but in
heart, spirit and truth. 1t was with these
feelings | was induced to break long self.
imposed silence, and address the people o.
Georgia, to induce like feeling on their
part. Well, imagine, if You can, the sur
prise with which | have read the comments
in Radical papers on that speech, pervert.
ing It's meaning, distorting and constituting
my words of peace and hope into words OF
blood and revolution | am made the ad.
vocate of strife and war when from every
pore of my heart there comes gushing the
most earnest and sincere desire for peace
lasting, eternal peace. Do me the favor to
read the revised and correct copy of that
speech, which send, so that one friend al
least at the North may truthfully judge me.
Your fiiend,
HOWELL COBB.
