easiest thing in the world to charge US With
inconsistency aud TO give extracts from our
files which, without explanation, may seem
to as,ify the charge. 1t is equally easy to
say that our explanation is weak and

ers Of the Conservative knoU about the ex>
PLANTATION There is no fairness nor hon.
esty in such course. Il gives further ex-
tracts in this weeks issue, and reitcrstes the
charge Of inconsistency. Our position has
been entirely consistent throughout. The
loyal citizens Of the Southern States, have
forfeited no rights. and Congress, recogni
zing this fact. has iu its acts Of reconstrue'
ton placed the State governments in ,hiel
hands, just where they belong while on sbs
osber hand, the di.loyal majoriiics Of ,b,
Southern States did forfeit al constitutions
rights in rebellirg and usu-ping their STATE
governments, and can claim nothing Of thu
government by right. Whatever is granted
is granted in mercy. When We hare refer
red to the fact that the Southern States hav,
forfeited all rights, We have meant jus
what the Conservative must have known !;
the rebel majorities forming the orgauiza
tions and Welding the power in those States
The grand difference between Congress and
Democracy lies in the fact that the forme
is placing the Southern States in control o
their loyal citizens, while the latter are de
sirous that the rebels shall be restored Il
full power. OF course the C0nserratire vii
not give our side to its readers and will man
fully claim that it is very lame and weak.

CoNGREssIoNAL.-It 10 said that
the vote OF Clayton county will be
cast in the Congressional Convention
Tor Major Willis Drumuond. Except
fer some local considerations Mr..
Drummond would probably receive
the nomination. lie is one Of the
ablest and best men on the long list.
We find the above complimentary
allusion u Major Drum,nond, in the
West Union Gazette. Of last week.
The local cause to which the Gazette
alludes, has reference most probably,
to the fact that Gov. Merrill being .
Mcgrcgor man, the balance Of the Dis
trict considers that this city, as well
as Clayton county, have al the gen.
eral Offices they are entitled to at pres.
ent. However this may be, we feel
cou6dent that Mr.. Drummond, . chan.
ccs before the convention. would be
second 10 none 90 far named ~ prob.
able candidates, ard the Gasette, in
our opinion, is correct in saying that
he would receive the vote Of Clayton
county in the convention, but We arc
authorized to say that Mr. Drummond
will not he . candidate for nomination,
and that he respectfully asks his
friends to make no further use Of his
name in that connection. We arc
not certain that Clayton county will
present the name Of any Of her citi
| zens befnre the convention.
As things now stand, our prefer
enees are for Allison. We are moi
much iu favor of swspping Congress
sional horses until the Reconstruction
stream is fairly crossed. Gen.GranI
is certain to be elected. and Allison
can exert a stronger influence upor
his administration than any new ma,
the District can selcct.-Mc GregO,

says:
From all that / could learn, il is

men, they seize all their stock, o.

REArGR TRiAL.-An important reaper tri
al came OF last Monday, Gu the farm Of Mr.
Samuel Boyd, five miles from Sparta, .,
which from six TO eight hundred farmers
we're in attendance. The machines present
were the Marsh Harvester, Nc Cormick,
New Yorker, Johnston, Dodge, aud Dorsay,
all self,rakers, with the exception Of the
Marsh Harvester. The first trial was in
light. standing grain, in which oil the ma.
chimes did good work. The farmers present,
however, seemed to be dissatisfied with such
. trial, and decided to have it repeated in
the afternoon, in . neighboring Geld, where
the grain was very heavy and in places badly
lodged, where it was evident the various ma
chimes would be put to severe test, and the
"best man win" After several trials, - We
are informed, the Johnston machine was
declared BY the most disintersted Judges to
be the best. We are told by disinterested
parties that this machine did its work better
in lodged and broken grain than any Of its
competitors, taking up grain that others had
passed over, and doing this on several oc>
casions much to the amusement and sAtis-
faction Of the spectators. The farmers gen.
orally there present. whatever their prejudices
before the trial, are said to have regarded
the Johnston with the greatest favor, after
seeing il work under such disadvantages.
The trial was . very inte esting one, and
has caused considerable talk among our ag>

A NOTORIOUS French WoMAN.-The Prin-

enough to sueM Yermorel, editor in chief of

harmless criticisms on her conduct at pub

by publishing volumes about her indiscre-
tions during the past FIVE years. Among
other things he relates the following About
three years ago, the Princess of Mettcrnich
and several other ladies and gentlemen, on
returning at l o'clock at night from ball
at the Tuileries resolved to take some oysters
and champagne at the Maison Doree. When
they were abont to go home, the Princess
said she would bet virtuous woman could
go at that late hour of the night along the
Bouleyards without being molested by any
of the men that might be about yet. The
Duke of Grammont Caderouse, Ia notorious
rake, a cepted the wager, and the Princess
said she would win it right away, whereupon
she started on her solitary walk, followed by
h9r com panions at distance of about thirty
yards. She had walked but very short
distance. when she was addressed by Il
stranger. who attempted to take liberties
with her, so that the Duke of Grammont
Caderouse had to hasten upto save the Prin-

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates, dune
the unwary. Some of the self-styled doctors
whose names to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places, are tradesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some are tinsmiths, shoemakers,
newspaper carriers, intelligence Office keepers, &c.
Look over the Sar Francisco directory and Won
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1853 The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets for,
as advertising physicians in eight cases out of ten
are bogus, there is no safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are. DR..

titles, certificates, pretended patients letters. &c

A Frenchman went into an oyster saloon

disposed of. Bon, bon, c'est nlagnifque l''

ious effort, he succeeded in getting it down.
The bar keeper watched him anxiously, and,
