For the Fayetteville Observer.
Mr.. l.. P. Bright.

AS the smoke of the contest has
now cleared away, we can look
back over the battle field, and feel
proud that the man old Lincoln
placed on the track, has borne
him so honorably and calamity
through the fight, and that she
has been true to her son. It's
seldom in a poll Of about $500
votes, that the winning candidate
will come out with 8, 154 majority,
1t is, therefore, matter of gratula-
ton to both parties--to Mr..
Bright, that despite trickery he
has received the almost unani-
nous support of his own county
to the county that she has done
her duty to her son against all the
wiles of the enemy. 1t is matter Of
graduation to Mr.. Bright, further,
that he has borne himselfhonorably
through the canvass. He has act
ed upon the motto of the great
Harry of the West" 81 had rath-
er be right than be President" =
lie is beaten, but there is more
pleasure and honor for him in re-
naming at home as he does, than
to go to Nashville through chica-
merry and fraud. Well done, Lu-
cius, in your first political venture.
Many will be glad TO take your
place when the touchstOne of truth
and honor is applied.
But while we feel the defeat of
our friend, there is another seri-
Gus trouble in our minds 1t IS
the fear that zee hare imbibed Rad
zeal habits and Radical moraz8.--
1t ought never to be NECESSARY to
lie, cheat and drink schisz,ey to get
into public Office, yet sometimes we
do find that just the man that does
these things wins the Office. We
don't know how far this is applica-
bic to the present case, but we
know Mr.. Bright has not imahbed
Radical morals. 1t would be well
enough for our people to look into
these matters In the future, If
they would retain and be worthy
of Republican institutions.

The Election.

The result of the late election
is satisfactory to the fullest extent.
Not a Radical Senator is believed
TO be elected, while in the House
there will be only four or FIVE Rad.
icals, the rest being Democrats and
liberal Republicans. Senter's ma
jority for Governor will probably
amount to serenity thousand. De.
kalb county, Stokes home, voted
for Senter. Forty-eight counties
have been heard from, of which
Stokes only carries nine. We ap.
pend the majorities:

Bottom Land Tobacco farm, for
the lands of the farm itself, are,
in the first place, worth $500 90

expense of operating the farm are
vastly less than that of the gold

is MIGHTY UNCERTAIN. To people

A DICTIONARY OF THE BIBLE !. !.

d UlU11UNAul VI I'LL AADnn
Comprising its Antiquities, BIZ
ography, Geography and Natural
History, with numerous lllhs.ra-
tons and Maps. Edited by WI
LIAM SMITH, Ii. D, Published by
the National Publishing Co, Gin
lcinnati, Ohio.
No book has been issued from
the American Press for a long time
that deserves. SO universal a circu-
lation as this. Bible dictionaries
have been prepared in former
years some were meagre and i'm
perfect, and all have been out
grown. Calmet's was surpassed
by Kitto's; Kitto's, and, indeed,
| all others, have been far outrivaled
by this of DR.. Smith, of the Lon.
don University, and the most emu
nent photographer of the Eng
fish speaking world.
Having finished this great work,
DR.. S. then prepared a condensed
edition (the work being in three
massive octave volumes, was too
large and costly for the public
generally which should include
all that is best adapted to the needs
of Christian families and Sabbath
| School Teachers. This is the
work now republished in this coun-
try, whose title we have given,
and we do not hesitate to say that
1t should 60 into erery daoelling
where there is any desire to read
and study the Bible intelligently
and with profit. Every person
connected with a Sabbath School
either as teacher or pupil, and ev
cry parent should by all means
avail themselves of this incompar
able help.
This edition is In the highest
style of the art, largely illustrated
with elegant wood and steel en-
cravings and maps, printed in clear
and beautiful type, and in every
respect in harmony with the higf
character and value Of the work
No house surpasses this enterprl
sing firm in the artistic finish anc
elegance of their books. And IL
the issue of this they have spared
no pains ror expense, 1t has sew
eral special and essential merits be
yond the English edition, and es
pecially orer aray other reprint il
this country. 1t contains all the
matter of the large edition, except
numerous dispositions and crit
cal notes or original Hebrew anC
Greek terms, which are of no prac
teal value to the general English
student, and considerably more THAI
tteice the reading matter OF the
smaller book. With all its ele
gance and establishment it is the
cheapest edition.
1t is having a large and rapil
sale, as nothing but Strengthened
means can induce any u0'8e paren
or faithful teacher to decline tbs
offer of an auxiliary for the under
standing of the Scriptures.

The Rev. Kramer-one of
the Presidential brothers-in-law-
is proving a very prolific source
Of "Notes," in which capacity be
is doing the country more good
than he is likely to do as Consul.
We heard yesterday of his being at
prayer meeting at which special
efforts were on foot for the CONVEX
sion of sinners. Bro. Granville
Moody was bossing the job. Af
ter a good deal Of exhortation which
seemed to have produced little eff
feet on the sinners present, it was
announced from the pulpit in
stentorian voice that "Presiden1
Grants brother in-laD acW s,oac
lead IN prayer" The idea was
that the Divine Spirit, obdurate to
all other invocations, would imme-
diately "come down." like Cap
tain SCOTS coon, when informed
that Grants brother-in-law was on
hand. The Rev. Kramer suppl
Gated, but with what result we
are not informed.

The Cairo Bulletin says: "A cit

violent upheaval of the earth at
a point near Gayoso. in Pemiscot

was the opening of a frightful ORR
flee in a sandbar opposite the vii
lage. The waters rushed into the
opening with the roar of hurri-
cane, and were thrown, by the clo-
sing of the assure, high up into
the air-a hundred feet or more"

A Very Valuable Book.

We always take pleasure in
recommending a book which has
all the qualities that meet our
ideafof whats good book should
be; in which the subject is one Of
interest and Importance, the
style attractive and pleasing, and
the illustrations and details lucid
and complete. We find such a
book in the Peoples Edition Of
Comybeare and HoacSon's Life and
Epistles Of Saint Ruul," just re-
published in this country by the
NATIONAL PUBLISHING COMPANY Of
| Cincinnati.
This work has all the attrac-
tiveness of fiction, in the excit-
ing events of Its narratives, with
the certainty that they are the
truthful records of well-authenti-
Gated facts; embracing graphic
and eloquent delineation Of the
early life, education, conversion,
teachings, labors, travels, suffer-
ings, perils, prosecutions and mis-
sionary career of the great Apos-
tie. 1t stands alone and unap-
proachable in its speciality; all
| that could be desired, in the way
of history, statement, comment,
criticism, and illustration, relating
to the vital subject Of which it
treats. The great learning and
power and beauty of style, do not
constitute its highest praise. This
is found in its moral and religious
spirit, in It's pre-eminent Christian
candor and impartiality, in It's
solemn earnestness for historic
truth, its mainly and unvaseilla-
ting faith in the doctrines pro-
claimed by the fearless subject of
its biography, all combining to
make it one Of the grandest mon.
uments of sanctifed intellect and
learning ever read to the honor
of Sacred Truth.
Never have we seen such an
array of great names, giving their
unqualified concentrations of a
book, as we find in the publishers
circular; names of men whose
self-respcct and personal charac-
ter and position, make them ex-
ceedingly chary how they indorse
any thing that does not come up
to a high standard of excellence,
or that does no. meet with their
hearty approval.
The reprint viii be more highly
rrized than any other, as it is the
only COMPLETE EDITION published
in this country with translated
notes.
1t has in addition an able and
exceeding valuable discretion by
DR.. Leonard Bacon, the eminent
Professor of Theology in Yale
College, preparing the reader fol
the graphic account Of the life and
writings of the great Apostle
It's pictorial illustrations, its type,
paper, and binding, are in keep
ing with the rare merits Of the
book.

The Fifteenth Amend
ment.

By the terms Of the Federal
Constitution, says the Nashville
Banner. when any proposed a
mendment is submitted to the Leg
islatures of the States for adoption,
three-fourths of them must vote
for ratification before it becomes
part of the Constitution. The
provision reads thus
.-"when ratified by the Legisla-
lures of three-iourths of the seve-
raj States, or by conventions IN
threefo urths thereof, as the one or
the other mode may be proposed
by the Congress.
As there are thirty-seven States,
the ratification of twenty-seven
will be necessary TO constitute the
amendment Article XIV a part Of
the Constitution. The following

In Kansas and Nevada, the
Legislatures adopted the amend
ment as telegraphed. 1t was in
an imperfect form, SO far as relates
to the second section. The al
legged ratification by Indiana was
carried through the Legislature of
that State in the absence Of a
quorum. 1t is insisted by the
Radical leaders in Congress that
the action taken by these three
States amounted to the adoption
of the Article, but, even if that
be the case, the consent of FIVE
more States would still be re-
quired. Although Iowa has not
yet acted, its assent is regarded as
a foregone conclusion. The same
may be said of Vermont. Govern
or Walker pledges Virginia, but
Candy places the ''iron-clad" as a
stumbling block in the way
Maryland will not ratify, and Ohio
is doubtful. Rhode Island will re-
spond affirmatively +; and it is not
likely that Mississippi will be "ad-
mitted' unless she complies with
the coudition exacted by Congress.
We will be better able to speak
for Tennessee as soon as the
new General Assembly can be full
ly ascertained. Texas is not yet
reconstructed" and New Jersey,
Delaware, Georgia, California, Or
egon and Kentucky oppose the a.
mendment. If, however, the ae-
ton of Kansas, Nevada and Indi.
ana is to be enforced as valid and
binding upon the other States,
there seems to be little reason to
doubt that Article XIV will be-
come a part of the Constitution.
