Suffrage by the wagon Load.

/ A planter residing few miles from
Montgomery. Ala, relates an incident
which entirely portrays the fitness of the
negro, as class, for the exercise of suf-
frage, and should silence all who doubt
the propriety of that Congressional leg
islation bestowing it. While in the very
act Of gathering his last cotton crop,
which was in condition urging immedi-
ate picking, committee representing his
hands one day informed him that they
must all go TO Montgomery the day fol-
lowing, and that at the same time they
desired the use of mule team and wag-
on. Alarmed at the prospective chance
of suffering great loss by thus losing a
day in the gathering of bis crop, he anx-
iously inquired why they must be abse MT,
and for what purpose they needed the
wagon, to which the chairman or speaker
Of the darkey delegation replied;
swell, Boss-de truf is dis: We's been
deformeo that de suffage' is to be issued
tomorrow, and DAT we must all be dar to
get our share, and we want de wagon to
fotch it over" s
Knowing full we'll that to object was
useless, the planter resorted to ruse to
save his crop, and topreyenta a wagon load
of "sufage" lying around loose on the
plantation. He took out of his pocket
letter, and told the delegation that i. was
sent to him. to read to them, from the Su-
perintendent of the railroad, announcing
that the car containing their suffrage had
broken down on the route, and would net
be in Montgomery for week from that
date. BY this deception he saved his
crop, as the negroes returned to work, re-
gretting, however, that they were to be
deprived Of their "safage" for another
week.

In the House of Representatives
on the goth inst, the bill to protect the
rights of American citizens abroad was
passed. The measure allows the seizure
of foreign subjects in this country as hos
tages and permits the suspension of com
mercial relations with such nations as
commit outrages on American citizens
travelling within their jurisdiction.

The above is the name of a secret or
ganization formed in the Southern States,
by Southern men to protect themselves as
far as possible from the raids Of Negroes
and carpet-bsg politicians from the
North, upon their property.
1t is only necessary for Southerner
to yell "Ku Klux" to start carpet-bag-
ger to the Bureau officer fol protection
from an imaginary demon. We earnestly
hope the organization will succeed in
driving the carpet baggers back to their
proper haunts-the Five Points.

There was yesterday quite a full meet
ing of the Democratic State Central COM
mittee. Quite anumber Of leading Dem.
oerats were in attendance on the meeting
|of the Committee. The best feeling
prevailed, and measures were adopted
looking to an effective prosecution of tho
campaign. From all ssparts of the State
encouraging word was brought for the
Democracy. Never have We seen the
Democrats SO encouraged as now. The
great glad tidings from Chicago gave
further exhileratfon TO their feelings. 9
It is within the power Of the Demoz

work. The Committee must have the

The Ohio Legislature passed the ap-
preparation bill on the 2Oth inst. The
appropriations amount to fpe hundred
thousand dollars less than they did the
previous year, when the Radicals had
.controlof the Legislature.
In this one bill the Democracy hare
saved to the people one-half million Of
dollars. which is proof that Democratic
promises, made to the people, VIII be
honestly carried out. Radical roguery
would have swelled the appropriations at
least half million the other way, Th6
public acts of party are what commend

the truth, what is there in any act of the
Radical party to commend Ito the sup

IN NlEylORIAM.


Far from home, and friends and Mother,
The pale young soldier lay,
As his pulse grew low and lower
''There is no hope they say.
"No hope" and mnst the loved one dieI-
The loved one brave and true
And must we leave him here to rest
With nought for tears but dewf
A home will miss the presence bright
OF yon fair radient brow;
A vacant chair about the hearth
None there to kneel or bow
AS the tender prayer goes up at even,
From hearts surcharged with love,
All! sadly will be missed the presence
OF the dear one called above.
Friends will meet and whisper softly,
He the young, the pure, the true,
He hath from life's pathway wandered
To the starry fields of blue.
From our hearts hath dropped blossom
From its ashes springs pain
From our eyes dark-hued with sorrow
Falls of tears q tender rain
Mother of the stilled form yonder!
We have kissed his lips for you,
We have smoothed his pale white forehead,
Kissed from it the cold, cold dew.
And tho thou no more shall see him,
Thou canst give him to thy God
There, soldiers. bear him gently,
Thus he sleepc beneath the sod.

ME GREAT UNITED STATES
ELEGANT RETAIL DEPARTMENT.

For the express purpose OF retailing Their goods
TO consumers at Wholesale Prices The immense
profits which have heretofore been put upon teas
and cofiees by the producers, the importers, the
robbers brokers' spectators, Wholesale dealers and
finally by the retail country merchants have so en-
HANGED the prices of these essential articles OF every
day life, that many consumers have been Obliged 10
stunt Themselves or abstain altogether from the use
of teas and cofiees. IL is fact well known to those
who are familiar with the condition of the tea
market that these goods frequently retailed by
small dealers in the country al twice or thrice then
original value, and even then are 50 adulterated
and docored 10y unprincipled spectators as 70 b
really unfit for the OF any good and well pro
yided household.
We do not see why this should longer continue,
and we therefore propose to retail our teas and
cotfees In small quantities to consumers, in all
parts OF the country at importing prices, with such
small profits added thereto, as III widely extend
ed and constantly increasing business may reason
ably compensate us for our trouble. We guaran-
tee our teas and cofees at all times TO be fresh and
pure, and warrant all goods sold from this house
To give entire satisfaction; otherwise the goods
may he returned and the money will he refunded.
We challenge any establishment IN this country TO
compete with ls in the quality and prices OF oui
