Down south.
| Capt. Geo. S. Ruble, we'll known in the
States of Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota
and highly respected where known, was a
resident Of Albert Lea, Minnesota, and we
guess his family make their permanent
homo at that place now. When the war
broke out he enlisted a company of caval-
ry. His regiment was assigned to the
Indian country, and he served his term
At the close of the war business pursuits
directed him to Chattanooga. He engag-.
ed in the Agl Implement business-the
Rubles are the devil for farm machinery
and he is succeeding we'll. In the Union
Of that place, very handsome and able
paper, we find that George has been look
ing over Middle Tennessee. In commu-
nication to the Union, he describes the
beauty of the country, the richness of the
land, the mildness Of the climate and the
kindness of the people. We clip his
three closing paragraphs: special attention
is called to the last one. Mr.. r. is TOR
was) Republican and hence he is a good
witness against that carpet-bag party who
live by engendering malice:
The farmers in Middle Tennessee are
taking hold of farming in the right spirit.
They have shown astonishing results; and
it is the peculiar advantage that South
ern agriculture has-that the great length
OF our season, in which crops can be cul-
tlvated, admits of astonishing results, if
the proper means are used.
The crop prospect is good. Wheat is
looking very fine. l examined several
fields but could see no rust. | never saw
oats and grass look better. How could it
be otherwise, for the climate and soil are
so fine, that if the farmer does his part,
he is sure to reap rich reward.
wish to bear testimony against the re-
ports of interested politicians, who are
telling the Northern people that, al
though the climate aud soil of Tennessee
is fine, yet the rebels are so malignant
that it is dangerous for Northern men to
live here. Such assertions are false. |
can travel, and have done so, over every
portion of Tennessee and have always
found the people quite well disposed and
mlnding their own business. The humbus
about shooting Northern men and not let
ting them live here, is false and malicious.
do not believe that there exists in any
State of the Union, kindlier disposed
people to strangers. from whatever section,
than are the people of East, Middle and
West Tennessee. and especially the large por-
ton Of them who fought in the Confederate
army. 1t is time that the false reports of
i'll feeling and disquietude spread through
the North were denied by honest people.
Yours truly.
GEORGE S. RuBLE.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton writes to
Buffalo paper: ''By some fantastic trick
OF your type setter, my speech on Saturday
evening is suddenl y terminated, and SO
linked to that of Mr.. Train that am made
to run Off in an entirely new wien, of elo-
quence. Among many other exploits am
made to boast that neither smoke, nor
chew, nor drink, nor lie, nor steal. nor
swear; as if such accomplishments We're
usual among Am rican women. In the
Buffalo Erpress, women are to vote for
liberty and Cod instead of freedom and
equality In 4 speech not long since,
where referred to my honored country
men as white males, | am reported q,
having addressed them as white mules
All these are coed jokes if credited to the
printers devil, but not to hose who re-
present an unpopular idea, and carefully
weigh their words"

The General Conference Of the NJ. f.
Church has, by-4n almost unanimous vote,
declared fo- lay represention in the Con
ferences Of that church. Established in a
country under kingly rule it was not
strange that Wesley should have excluded
all republican ideas from his church, and
it is not strange that in this country so
large and influential a body Of Christians
as are comprehended in the Methodist
church, should be enough affected by our
institutions as to adopt so just measure
as to admit the laity to have a voice in it's
government. This is progress in the right
direction.-P'. du Chen Onion.

The Albany Evening Journal, whose
sound Republicanism is not to be ques-
toned, says:
"We read with astonishment and APP
prehension. in the dispatches of to-day.
that majority of the House Judiciary
Committee have decided to report bill
providing that the Supreme Court Of the
United States shall have no jurisdiction in
cases arising under the military recon-
struction acts of Congress, and that no
eases of this character shall be referred to
it.
''Do the Republican leaders in Congress
wish to justify the charge of the Demo-
cracy that they are bent upon usurpation
and revolution? Have they become so in
different to popular opinion that they are
prepared to remove any obstacle which
may he presented to their policy, regard
less of every constitutional provision? We
are not ready to believe this vet we shall
be compelled to do So if the purpose now
announced is really carried into effect.
"The Constitution of the United States
provides that the judicial power shall
mot may J extend to all ease, of law and
equity arising under it and particularly
mentions among these, controversies to
which the United States shall be a party.
1t leaves Congress with no power to de-
termine the jurisdiction Of the court, but
simply enables it to specify the method of
its organization, and the manner in which
its proceedings shall be conducted. For it
will be at once perceived that il a majority
in the legislature can prohibit the court
from passing upon any particular class of
cases which have become subjects of pop
ular excitement, thea the Judiciary. so far
forth, is virtually abolished, and there's 40
appeal for the citizen from the operations
of Il law, however obnoxious it may be in
its provisions, to the principles of the Con-
stitution, or however subversivc of per-
sonal rights. That questions like those
arising under the reconstruction bills were
intended to be embraced among those for
which the creation of the court was au-
is too plain to admit Of dispute"

FURs.--Ladies are. often anxious about
keeping furs free from moths during the
summer months. Darkness is all that is
necessary. The "miller," the eggs from
which moths are hatehed. only moves in
light; the moths themselves work in dark
ness. Hang the furs in a very dark clos
ct, and keep the door shut; keep it always
dark, and you can have no trouble. But,
as closet doors are sometimes left open,
the better way is to enclose the articles
loosely i'll paper box, put this in pillow
case, or wrap around with cloth, and
hang up in q dark closet. Camphor,
spices, or perfumes are of no use. Con-
tinual darkness is sufficient. And do not
take out the turs in June or July to give
them an airing for even then cometh
the enemy, and it may be that in fifteen
minutes after exposure, it has deposited
hundred eggs. If you consider an airing
Indispensable, give the furs good switch
ing and put them quickly back.

BEHAvIoR-On the subject Of behavior
in company Leigh Richmond gives the fol-
lowing excellent advice to his daughters :
"Bc cheerful, bat not gigSlers. BE seri-
Gus, but not dull. BE communicative, but
not forward. BE kind, but not servile.
Beware Of silly, thoughtless speeches al
though you may forget them, others will
not. Remember Gods eye is in every face
and his ear in every company. Beware Of
levity and familiarity with young men a
modest reserve without aifectation, is the
only safe path. Court and eneourge seri-
Gus conversation with those who are truly
serious and conversablc, do not 20 into
valuable company without endeavoring to
improve hv tbs intercourse permitted to
you Nothing is more unbecoming, when
one part of company is engaged in prof
table conversation. than that another part
should lie tri6ling, giggIing, and talking
comparative nonsense to each other"

A member of Henry Ward Beecher's
should not be able to get "A pew for less
than one third more than he paid last year,
whea fellow broker spoke up and said,
II will sell you pew what will you eivo
for one % "Three hundred and fifty dol
lars" was the reply. "Sold,'' exclaimed
the other, with a laugh, in which the look
ers-on joined. The seller afterwards at
tended the auction sale Of the Plymouth
Church pews, bid one off for three hundred
and twenty-five dollars, and gave the re-
ceipt to his acquaintance, making twenty
five dollars by tue operation. Selling
short on church stock is rather novel
idea, to say the least.

The masses are honest. II your neighbor
says you are wrong politically, YOU should

that when Republicans become satisfied
that their party is stealing al the peoples
money and rushing the country headlcng
to destruction, they ought to abandon the
organization and help the Democratic party
to save the nations honor and the nations

We are just starting out to publish
Democratic paper. Our principles, our
opinions, our sentiments, are dear to rs
and the laws Of the land allow us to express
them through the press. We claim the
right to a fair hearing before we are con-

allow others to do so through our columns.
We know that the press is powerful

carry out private ends or petty spite. is
not our style of conducting paper. And

A French paper states that an analysis
Of suicide shows that married men and wo-
men are more liable to make away with
themselves than bachelors and widows
We suppose the reason Of this is the ''mar-
ried men get so happy they can't content
themselves on this sublunary sphere, and
they s'go up !" women, Of course, are bound
to follow the married men.-Ex.

Cowardics.

CO"ofO1cU.
Cowardice in political parties as we'll a.
in individuals, is never commended on the
part Of either friends or foes. In order TO
determine when a man is coward, you
place him in a condition where he mus.
meet and fight an enemy, and if there be
shows the white feather, sr by silence or
retractions, refuses to ayow his principles,
he is held in desecration common to ali
mankind. 1t should be so with political

The last Legislature fixed heavy penal
ties for using threshing machines without

and $40 for each half day the machine is

Cacined plaster is as good fertilizer as

Root crops, not grain, are the things for
young orchards. They do not steal so

Here's to the man with horny hands,
Who tugs the breathing bellows;
Where anv'ls ring, in every land,
He's loved by all good fellows.
And here's TO him who goes afieId,
Aud through the glcbe is blowing,
Or with stout arms the axe doth wicld,
" lille ancient oaks are bowing.
Here's to the deliver in the mine,
The sailor on the ocean
To those OF every craft and line,
Who work with true devotion.
Our love for her who tolls in gloom:
Where crank and wheels are clanking;
Bereit is she of natures bloom,
Yet God in patience thanking.
A curse for him who sncers at toll,
Aud shuns his share OF labor:
The knave but robs hi. native soil,
While leaning upon his neshbor.
Here may this truth be taught on earth,
Grow more and more i'm favor:
There is no wealth hut owes its worth
To handicrait aud labor.
Then pledge the founders of our wealth.
The builders of our nation:
We know their worth, now to their health
Drink We with acclamation.
