Address OF the Democratic Committee
Salute In Honor of Republican Tri.
umpha-ChnDge of Democratic Stand.
ard.Bearers Predicted.
ATLANTA, October 16.-The Democratic
Executive Committee Of Georgia issue the
following to-day
1t having been represented by Republi-
can speakers in the present canvass, that
the Southern people favor the re-establish-
ment of slavery in the respective States,
and depriving negroes of the right of suf-
frage, for the purpose of meeting this allie
cation, and giving it positive denial, it
was resolved by the Central Committee OF
the Democratic party Of Georgia, repre-
senting the people of the State, that the
charge is unequivocally false. q
For evidence that they do not desire the
establishment of slavery, and could not
effect it if they would, they would refer to
the fact that this State has assented to and
ratified the amendment to the Constitution
of the United States forever abolishing
slavery and involuntary servitude except
for crime whereof the party shall be legal
ly convicted.
That we reiterate the position taken by
this committee in its late address, by the
report OF lUe OOuumlLl6e Ou tuo 6Ldbo OI I1e
Republic, adopted by the House of Rep
resentatives in the Legislature of this State
on the Goth ultimo. That we also
indorse the address of General Robert E.
Lee and others, in response to the letter of
General Rosecrans; and that we submit to
the present status of the colored race
among us, and will protect them to the
extent of our power in the right of suffrage
secured them by the Constitution of the
United States and amendments thereto, and
Constitution and laws of this State.
E. G. CABANISS, Chairman.
The Republicans fred salute and held
public meeting last night, in honor Of the
reported Republican victory in Penrsyl-
vania and Ohio.
The Constitution deprecates the sugges-
ton for a change of standard-beare. 8, ad-
heres to the principles and policy of the
party, and urges the vigorous prosecution
of the canvass. 1t charges Belmont and
the World with lukewarmness and an effort
to sell out to the bandholders, and calls for
a change in the head Of the National Execu-
tive Committee.

authorize and require the Mayor aud Com
mon Council of the city of New ORLEANS to
issue bonds for the redemption of city notes

NV first objection to the bill is that the
CITY NAV be forced 10 sacrifice one million
dollars in six per cent gold interest bearing
bonds, In order to redeem the city money,
which is not now in circulation, but held by
spectators. There is no reason why these
bonds should be disposed Of at less than

these bonds at par, thus savig e the city one
million dollars, which added T. the one-half

LEWISTON, Dec. "a. Is6,

LEWISTON, Dec. 20, 1868.
To 6he Editor Of the Press:
The slight fall of snow with which we have
teen favored brings the country people to town
in greater numbers. This makes trade some
what brisker and enables us to keep Christ
mas with fuller larder and bigger backlog
THE LUMBER BUSINESS.
Our sawmills are doing little custom work,
otherwise they are idle, having exhausted their
own supplies of lumber. They have done a
very large business during the year, which, |
uouo' not, has been profitable.
1ne season has thus far been very favorable
for the lumbermen Sixtv n;las baoL the spoU
is two and a half feet deem Tb. Taw;ston
Steam Mill Company have, of their own. sour
horse teams, with about thirty men, at work
in the woods. They are cutting some twenty
thousand feet per day, and will get out two
millions during the winter, The same compa-
ny have another gang at work for them, who
will probably cut six hundred thousand. They
will make sundry purchases-enough to give
them five million feet to begin the next saw
ing season with.
Messrs. S. II. Bearce & Co. have one hun
dred and sixteen horses and oxen, with some-
thing over two hundred men, at work for them.
'They expect TO commence the next saving
season with twelve to fourteen million feet of
logs. SO there will probably be cut by our
mills, next year, some seventeen to nineteen
millions of lumber. The prospect is that there
will be lively demand for it all.
AN ITEM FOR THE FARMERS.
Mr.. s. r.. Bearce, of this city, has a COW
Durham Shorthorn and Ayershire-which has
done remarkably good years work. On the
Goth of December, 1867, her calf, then seven
days old, was taken from her. Since that date
the butter made from her milk was as follows:
Remainder OF December, IL IL pounds; Jan
uary, 81 pounds; February, 50 pounds; March,
25 1-2 pounds; April, q IL pounds; May, 50
pounds; June, 40 pounds; July, 81 pounds; I;
August, "a IL pounds; September, 3s pounds;
October, q 1-2 pounds; to 18th November, IL
pounds. Total, 1862 IL pounds, and of the very
best butter. Aside from this the COW has af-
forded liberal supply of cream and milk to
at least six persons, on the average, during the
| year. Had all the milk been used for making
butter, it would have probably made two
| pounds per day, or 665 pounds during the
eleven months. She now gives a quart of milk
| per day, and will calve in a couple of weeks.
| Then, also, the skim milk has fattened great
many pounds of pork during the time. This
cow has had an acre of gronnd to Craze upon
about the house; she has otherwise been fed
with hay, bran and fine feed. No extraordi'
nary care has been bestowed upon her. She is
nine years old
Now, 1 think this is an item worthy the con
sderation of farmers, who should understand
that there is not little money in the making
of good butter at present prices If they can.
not sell their milk, being too far from market
they should understand that it will turn them
certainly six cents per quart if made into good
butter, with the needful appliances for render
ing such work easy. BARLOW.

Now what remedy can we adopt to cure
this evil? If"moral suasion" would do it, we
should be willing to preach from morning till
night. But that does not seem to be effica-
cious If water can be sold for eight cents
per quart, some men will be very likely to dip
it up or pump it. We know of no remedy for
this crying evil except we have City Milk
Inspector armed with all the implements OF
his office. Why can't we have one? We
should like to read report from such an Of
ficer. We should be pleased to know how
many hogsheads of water are annually sold
in our city at eight cents per quart. There
may be another remedy found in condensed
milk. We have tried one sealed can of this
article put up in Boston and sold at Chad
wick's in this city. We find it to be an excel
lent article and free from all impurities, one
teaspoonful being enough for cup of coffee.
Those who use this will not be compelled TO
buy water at eight cents per quart. There is
nothing in its composition but the very cream
or essence of milk and sugar. Ard we oeiieFe
it is cheaper than the thinly Diluted ini'h sou
in this market II we can't have faithiul
and scientific inspector who will put stop to
the sale Of spurious milk, then let our citizens
sbe condensed milk for season and
,.N,iss their milkmen for the present until
asSIar 1,,ev learn to bring us milk as pure as
y came from the COW. Our citizens have
been cheated long enough, and their patience
has long since ceased to be virtue. How
much longer must we continue to pay eight
cents quart for water and chalk9 The pow
er is with the purchasers if they will but ex-
ercise it.
