Not an Angry Word

We have at last an account of the affair at Warrenton Ga. from Democratic sources. 4 correspondent of the World writes as follows:-
 IL is really fortunate for the country that the courage of these miscreants is not commensurate with their infamy. The citizens of Warrenton neV- dreamed of 8 riot or any breach Of the peace. Not an angry word was spoken. The Sheriff tOT secHyys sake asked e negroes ,aot to come in pro- cessicn t0 tO,cn and hold Meir meettag there, FOR TEAR DISTURBANCE MIGHT OCCUR. Tho negroes aascnted. They held their meeting without the slightest interruption; and the whole story ot arm ed citizens and military tactics is but the crazy a prchcnsion of a set of half-scared savagos caused by the falsehood of a few white wretches who are paid to do thc outrage business for thelr Nadlcal masters at the North.
 Imagine Sheriff Spur going out to meet Messrs Barnum, Tildcn and Brooks, last week, and informing thcm that they had better not meet in Falls Village ''for fear a disturbance might occur" but that there would be no sort of objection to their hold ing their meeting on Mount Riga! Then imagine meeting commenced in accor- dance with tho Sheriff's suggestion, but dispensing on the rumor of an attack from armed Republicans; and VIC have an exact counterpart of the way tho constitutional right of tho people peaceably to asscmble' is abridged" in Georgia. "Not an angry word is spol1en," Oh. no-that is not ne cessary, since the Cammilla massacre-but the Republicans of Georgia are given to understand that ''for security's sake" there is not village in Georgia (the smaller the more risk, of course) in which they can meet without being massacred by Q mur- derous cross-fire from a rebel sheriff's posse com.ittstuS; slaughtered for miles by mounted ''peace officers;" and hunted with dogs out of tho swamps! Perhaps Git is really fortunate that the courage of these miscreants is not commensurate with their infamy," or the war of races rebels arc try ing to provoke would begin forthwith. The time is soon coming, though, whom Presi- dent Ulysses s. Grant will guarantee the right of American citizens, of whatever par ty, to meet peacably and discuss the politi cal issues of the day, i'll any city or village throughout the South.

 For once the Sentinel has struck on erie vance that is grievance. We were shock ed beyond measure last week, to find that Major Seymour was not even holding q commission in an organization that had elected for its chief officers such 'bomt proof soldiers as William Bissell and Ed ward o. Peck-men who never in theil whole military experience ran half the per sonal risk we of the draft of 63 encounter ed in the memorable advance on Grape Vine Point! Who is responsible for this outrage: Not the Republican party. They recog nized Mir. Seymour's military ability with the commission of Major. On the contra. ry, tho Democracy put him in the ranks make Bisscll his captain, Peck his lieuten. ant, and, to cap the climax, insist on mak ing as his Brigadier General! We look fol the Majors vote for Grant and Colfax.

HONESTY IS THE BEST PoL1cY.-lf the property of our people has increased from 1860 to 1868 in the proportion that it en creased from 1850 to 1860, it now amounts to over thirty billion dollars.

Manager for Feeding Horses

A correspondent of the Country Cen
tlsman gives the following direction for
making horse-manger. We confess to
liking it, aud as it is easily understood,
we hope it will be tried:
"After using for many years the fol-
lowing plan, am satisfied it issuperior
TO most arrangements, and excelled by
none A box or large tub, q feet by 2
feet, and as high as the floor of the hay
NOW, is set up between two stalls in a
small mapger. The bottom of this box
is two inches larger each way than the
top, so rs to prevent the hay from ever
bee oming we'd ged in or stuck. A semi
circular opening, one foot in the highest
place, is cat into the bottom of the box
inside the manager. Inside this manger
and on the opposite end, is placed the
box to feed grain, and if cut feed is
used, the whole mauger can be taken
If necessary. The hangers should not
exceed one foot in height and two feet
wide. Horses have no difficulty in
drawing out the hay from the bottom of
this box or tub, and at the same time
will not waste particle, rs it is always
q little easier to eat the scattering hay
which falls, than to draw ont fresh hay.
The hay is kept clean and sweet until
eaten by the horse
