titled the N eht Of Heaven. 1t is full Of touch =

honorable man sees the result O.. years swept
cruelty away by the knavish and heartless adver-

row gathering round, and knows that the hopes
and happiness of others are fading with his own.
But in uat hour the memory OF past integrity
will be true cotsol alton and a. sure him even
here on earth OF CLEANS OF light in heaven. 1t
is daIk when the voice Of that sweet child, once
fondy loved, is no more heard in murmurs
Dark when the pattering feet no more resound
without the threshold, or ascend step by step.
the stairs. Dark when some well known air re-
calls the strains once often aituncd to childish
voice now hushed in death. Darkness but only
the gloom which now he,ads the day-spiiag OF
immortality and the infinite light Of Heaven"
HERoIsM.-A little girl in Pugwash, Canada,

CONGRESSIONAL RECONSTRUCTION.

The legislation Of Congress towards the recon-
strueted States, says the New York Express, is an
intolerable despotism, and here it is in nutshel
When Alabama and Arkansas defeated their bogus
constitutions, they were declared adopted; when
Georgia elected two United States Senator'S, their
admission was denied when Louisiana elected o
Democratic delegation to Congress, not one OF the
number is admitted; when South Carolina presents
. mixed delegation, the non-elected are taken aud
the representatives are left out. Virginis, Missis-
sippi and Texas are to have every State ofdeer
elected by an act of Congress, which bases the
right to hold State Offices upon pledged adhe-
renee ts, Radical interests. And yet Chief Justice
chase, in behalf of the Supreme Court declares oil
these States in the Union; and the Constitution
says that every State shall be entitled to two
Senators in Congress, and regulated number Of
REPRESENTATIVES,. While the Constitution is spit
upon, the decences Of legislation are also trampled
under foot, and promises arc made to the ear
which &. every opportunity are broken to the hope

Obhuarp.

DEPARTED THIS LIFE, on the 4th of Februa-
~. 1869, at her residence in this County, Mrs.
MARGARET MAJOR, after severe illness of ten
days, from a paralytic stroke. She was the
daughter of Kennon Breazeale, deceased, and was
born in Anderson County, Nov. 14th. 1893, and
was married to James Major, Esq, deceased. in
her early maidenhood, and became the mother Of
o numerous offspring, many Of whom are left be-
hind to mourn the loss Of good, kind, and affec-
tionate mother. Many years ago, in the provi-
Dental dealings Of her Heavenly Father, she Tas
called upon to carry the remains of her beloved,
devoted and Christian husband, the happy partner
of her best and sunniest days. to their last resting
place, beside which hers now repose. And though
the loss was great and the aficton severe yet she
bore it with pious and Christian submission, and
became widow indeed. She was mild, gentle
and meek, always adorning her widowhood, which
ceased at her death, with many Christian graces
She was naturally woman of great energy, perse-
verance and activity. She studied carefully and
prayerfully the duties of wife and mother and OIL
ways being blessed with remarkably good health,
she was enabled to discharge those duties which
spread out before the wife and mother. In Sep
tember, 1881, che embraced the Christians faith
and on the Oath day Of the same month united
with the Meals Creek Baptist Church, and was
immersed into its fellowship by the Rev. Wm Nc
Gee, and from that time till the day of her death
she continued seadfast in the Apostles doctrine,
proved herself to be faithful and ornamental
member of the church. AT all times she gave
strong and satisfactory evidence of work OF Di-
vine Grace npon her heart. We believe NO can
truly soy, that while she lived she lived unto the
Lord, when she died she died uuso the Lord, be-
cause size was the Lords through Jesus Christ her
Saviour. Ready and willing was she to make sac
rifces for Him who loved her and gave His be-
loved Son to redeem her. Observe the fact that
just one half Of her long and eventful life was
spent in the service of her Heavenly Master, and
is it not reasonable to hope that the talent COM
mitted to her care has been returned with usury
and that her pure and Christ-like Spirit has been
admitted into the Paradise of her God, living now
in the bright fields of glory beyond the skies.
Weep not, therefore, ye bereft sons and daughters
Initiate that example which was set by your de-
parted mother. Walk in that way in which her
obedient feet walked Let her God be your God,
her Saviour be your Saviour. and then her eternal
home will be your eternal home.

The World Moves On.

\ dinner was recently given IN New
York to Professor Morse, the inventor of
the electric telegraph. In a speech made
on the occasion, Professor Morse stated
that it was four years before he could get
Congress to consider the report of COM
mittee appropriating $4,000 for expert
ments between Washington and Baltimore,
lie was told that the favorable report Of
the committee was made more out Of re-
rpect for himself than from any faith in
his project.
On the 2lst of February, 1913, in the
House of Representatives, on motion Of
Mr. Kennedy, of Maryland, the commit
tee took up the bill to authorize a series
of experiments in order to test the merits
Of Professor Morso's invention. The pro-
position was rdiculed by such men as
Cave johnson, Sam Houston, Stanley, of
North Carolina, and others who stood
equally high in the estimation OF the
country as men of extraordinary practical
sense and sound judgment Mr.. johnson
thought that half of the appropriation
ought to be devoted to experiments in
mesmerism. Mr.. Stanley had no objec-
ton provided Mr.. johnson were the sub
iect to be operated upon. Mr.. johnson
was willing if Mr.. Stanley would be the
operator. Mr.. Houston moved to include
Millerism. While this was going on
the assembled wisdom of the House in
dulged in shouts of laughter. The mo-
ton to include mesmerism was declared
in order as an amendment by the Speak
err, and received % votes.
All this must have been very torment
ing to the great inventor, but he has had
ample revenge since. The electric telo-
graph has revolutionzed the world. By
its aid fortunes are accomplished in an
hour; it is the arbiter of war, the control
Ter of peace and the director of the trade
and commerce of all nations. Many of
the ''great men" who ridiculed Professor
Morse's experiments are dead, and it is a
difficult matter for the historian to point
to anything they accomplished emitting
them to rank as benefactors of their race.
Morse's name will never die, and we trust
he may remain many year in the flesh to
laugh at the ''rare jokes" of that old fogy
Congress.

The Cotton Bill

WAsHrNGroN, Jan. 8.-The Supreme
Court is hearing local appeals.
In the Senate, Rice introduced bill
regulating the price and encouraging the
growth Of cotton.
The Cotton bill authorizes the Secreta-
ry Of the Treasury to purchase raw cotton,
grown after the passage Of the bill, deliv-
cred at any convenient depot or on a
steamer making direct connection with
New York, at twenty cents per pound for
upland and thirty cents for sea island.
All purchases made through revenue Of
6cers, are to be exempt from tax, but if
sold to others than United States agents,
are to be taxed three cents per pound.
G tton purchased by the Government
shall be sold at price not less than five
cents advance on the cost Manufacture
ers within the United States are allowed
a draw back of two and half cents fo9
cotton used by them. A full report of
all transactions, to be presented to Con-
gress at the commencement of each regu-
lar session. ....., .

General B. f.. Cheatham.

The Gallatiu Examiner of Thursday
last has the following reference to our
former fellow-citizeu
We were glad last week to see the we'll
known form of General Frank Cheatham
upon our streets. Of course there was IL
host of his old friends and old soldiers to
welcome him, and the more warmly, if
possible, since he has turned Sumner coun-
ty farmer. He looks it, too, as graceful
ly and as earnestly as when he used to
throw himself at the head of his columns.
The General is now farming upon the
well-known Fairyiew Plantation, three
miles west of Gallatin, and will have his
time fully taken up in the management Of
over three hundred acres of Sumner coun-
ty land. He will have the greater por-
ton of it in blue grass for stock raising.

says about dishonest and fraudulent esti-
mates made for the purpose Of extorting
money for the Government, arc keenly
and forcibly to the point, The instances
which he cites are instances of the ex-
tromist prOaigacy, and he justly holds his
party responsible for them all. In regard
to this matter, he says; "If Congress can
not control the expenditures of the Gov
eminent, if it cannot curb the executive
officers of the Government in spending
public money, and it such officers are to
be left practically to determine the APP
preparations, then, say, let Congress abb
dictate and let the people be saved the ex-
pense of keeping this extensive and some
what ornamental Institution"
So Just and bold robuke has seldom
been administered to Congress by one of
its members. If the rebuke was instigat-
ed or inspired by Grant, he carries into
political life good deal of the heroism
that was attributed to him in the conduct
of the war.
Mr.. Washbune thinks that two huns
bred and ninety millions Of dollars year
is as much as the Government should ex-
pend. That would be a most tremendous
reduction indeed Let Grant bring about
such a reduction by laying a heavy hand
upon the nimble fingers of Congress, and,
although the corrupt leaders of his party
may curse him, the nation will bless him,
and the world will pronounce him the
greatest benefactor of the age.
Not being an enthusiast we shall wait
to see what comes.

The latest advices from Shelbyville
state that it is not known that any was
hurt in the affray at Shelbyville on Satur-

the negroes. A cap and pistol, left be-
hind by one Of the Khan, is in possession
of the representative from Bedford. The
negroes fought with spirit and saved their
school house, the burning Of which APP
peared to be the object Of the raid. Old
citizens generally declare that these out
RACES of the Khan shall be stopped, to ac-
complish which they must organize in sup
