DIsGUsrED WITH IT'S W oRK1NGs.-The edi-
tor Of the North Georgian Republican a pa
per published at Dalton, has set all white
men who have an interest in the South q
worthy example. Though o Republican
and advocate Of the Reconstruction meas
ures, he has seen the workings of the latter
and come to the conclusion that they are
obliged to destroy every valuable interest,
and even society itself, ct the South, if car
ried into operation. He thus discources in
a recent number Of his paper: go
AS the former Reconstruction measures
under which the Conventions of most Of the
seeded States are now in session, have
not been productive Of such satisfactory re.
suits as we had hoped and expected, and we
believe that many and grave evils will re-
suit from the present measures, we, out OF
self-respect, cut loose from our moorings

Startling Facts.
OHIO PAYS MORE TAXES THAN ALL THE SOUTH
ERN STATES.

In a speech at Mansfield, Ohio, Hon. A.
g.. Thurman, United States Senator elect,
stated some facts which are we'll calculated
to impress the people ofthe North with the
direct interest which they have in restoring
the peace and prosperity Of the South.
Speaking Of the taxes derived front inter-
nal revenue alone, Mr.. Thurman says that
the amount paid by the whole ten OF the
Southern States for the last fiscal y5ar Was
$l9,693, TAO; in the same year Ohio paid
$25,Osl 400, so that the Southern States,
which formerly paid their full share, if not
more; of, the taxation of the country, are
now SO reduced that, in the last fiscal year,
Ohio paid So, 1897 900 more than them all.
Senator Thurman then undertakes to de-
monstrate that the taxation ofthe people OF
this country is far greater than ever was i'm.
posed upon any people. In the last fiscal
wear, FIVE hundred millions were collected in
taxes by the General Government alone.
The taxes collectedby the States amount to
not qfitetwo hundred millions more, max
ing the entire taxation, in round numbers,
seven hundred millions of dollars The
gross annual production efthe industry OF
the United States, according to the census
of 1860, was two thousand millions of dol
lars. Allowing for the diminished produc.
tioc Of the South, and for increased prices,
it is notsupposed to greater now. Thus
more than one-third of the whole product
Of the countryis absorbed by taxes.

Written for the Louisiana DEMOCRAT
Look with pity ON us, Father,
See us bow with Bonded knee
Rend the chains from off our country,
Let us all again be free.
Long we've striven in silent anguish,
Weeping, praying for the day,
When our letters shall be broken,
Peace and Justice shall have sway.
We have erred and sinned, our Father
To Thy rod we meekly bow;
But oh, have mercy on orr country;
Blessed Saviour, hear us nowl
Hear eur peoples bitter moaning
For their brave and loved ones slain
See gaunt famine Stalking boldly,
Desolating hill and plain.
Bend Thino ear in pity, Father
Listen to our earnest prayer,
Bless, OH bless our Southern Country,

Is Lager Beer Intoxicating Ter.
rible Drinking Sworn to.

The vexed question as to the idtoxica-
ting qualities of lager beer was tried in
Pohghkeepsie, New York, a few days iago.
Charles Bohrer was indicted for selling in
toxicating liquor without d license. The
liquor sold was lager beer, which the de-
PENDANT claimed was not Intoxicating. A
number of witnesses were examined on
both sides, and it was observed that their
evidence was determined by theft respect.
tive nationality, all but the Teutons ad-
hitting that they were victims Of the bev-
erage. The latter testified to heavy pota-
tions with impunity as may be seen by the
following evidence FAB s1 ea
Frederick .Blume, the FIRST, had taken
fifty or sixty glasses in a single day, and
was never intoxicated!
A Wimpleburg had been acquainted
with lager beer for many years, and never
was intoxicated.
Lorens Ramstetter had been accustom-
ed to drinking lager for thirty or forty
years, and drinks from forty to sixty glas-
ses per day, and never gets intoxicated.
Leonard Biegol had drank lager for forty
years, at the rate Of twenty glasses per day,
and was always sober, as far as he
knewl .7
j. Buntley had drank this beverage fol-
eighteen years, aud sometimes sixty glas,
ses in a day, without being drunk.
Martin Kuhn says that he is brewer oil
lager ank weiss beer, and takes his own
medicine at the rate Of from forty to Fifty
glasses per day. He was never drunk, but
| it amakes him feel good y m ~
Henry Seitell says that he keeps lager
beer saloon, and pa.ronizes his own bar tc
the extent of from twenty twenty-five glas-
ses per day, without any Intoxicating eff
feet.
Frank Hengstebecker says that he has
swallowed as much as eighty glasses pei
day, when he is dealing in rags, and exper
fences no ihtoxication therefroml
L. Buatlin said he had drank lager fol
nineteen years or more. That few days
ago be was in company with thirteen othel
church members, and that each Of the four
teen drank twenty-eight glasses OF thai
Tuetonic beverage in Que hour and half
and no one was intoxicated. q
The jury, Notwithstanding this weight o
testimony, fined the defendant $50, thus
virtually declaring that lager beer has in
toXicating qualities. e

THRILLING SCENE ON A RAILRoAD.-Des-
tuctiom of Sleeping Car in Rapid
Aotion.-The Chicago Republican gives
the particulars Of the burning Of the mag
nifcent palace sleeping car Getty Of Chica-
co." on the Burlington, Quincy and Chica-
go railroad few nights ago. It. says !:
The train was moving at good speed,
when suddenly a kerosene lamp Id The rear
end Of the car exploded, and INSTANTLY that
part of the coach was III flames, which,
with frightful rapidity, seized the bedding
and woodwork. Habit been the forward
lamp, and the flames been driven back
upoh their prey, there is little doubt that
several lives must have been lost, with
such ferceness did the devouring element
make progress even against the Roadway
of the train. Mr.. Bishop, our informant,
was sleeping in tie middle section, and,
answering the first alarm, sprang for the
door. Returning to get his boots from be-
meath his berth, he was driven back in
haste by the flames and sitting smoke.
For a few minutes the utmost alarm pre-
vailed, and one or two of the passengers
were with difficulty saved from their own
frantic efforts to leap from the train: All,
however, safely reached the car in front,
but most ofthem lett behind in their berths
such articles Of apparel and yaluables as
they had laid aside in disrobing for the
night. This brought two unfortunates out
in the light undress uniform, for winter
night, Of cotton shirts and drawers
state Of affairs which instantly called for
contributions from the baggage Of their
more fortunate fellow-passeugers.
White all this was Transporting in the
escape of the passengers, the flames had
taken, possession of the entire ill-fated car,
forward and aft, and were leaping and
streaming through the rear windows, pre-
senting most extraordinary spectacle, as
the train kept on its way with heightened
speed, 1t having been decided, on short
consultation, to make for the water station
at Buda, a run of twelve miles, where it
was hoped the flames might be drowned
out. Vain hope! for the unfortunate car,
instead Of being rescued, dragged the water
station and an adjoining woodpile to share
its fate, all being burned together.
The instance is full of warning that none
will take earlier than the managers Of the
Pullman line, to instantly and forever
Danish the fatal kerosene from these splen-
did cars They were chosen, we know, with
q view to scoring a brilliant light, and
adopted with the best and most secure of
known applicable. But this recent proof
is enough to demonstrate their peril and
decree their Punishment. The "City Of
Chicago" was a magnificent coach built at
the Aurora shop, at the original cost Of
over twenty thousand dollars.
