We noticed yesterday several census ia
kers, with their blanks and psraphernalia,
busily engaged in their statistical work.
1t is suggested that an interesting point
growing out of the census of 1870 will be to
ascertain the number of deaths and births
among the negroes since the year of ju-
bilee," 1865. 1t will show whether or not
the race has diminished with the enioy-
ment of freedom We hope the estimates
under this head will be full, careful and
satisfactory

The following letter from Representative
Hinkle, an obsergant and sagacious gentle
man who is ever alive to the interests Of
his constituents and the people OF the
State, explains itself. The considerations
presented are Of very important charac-
ter and should receive immediate attention.
We sincerely trust that Congress viii not
permit SO palpable piece of injustice as
the one indicated in the letter:
To the Editors of the Union and American:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,, June 2,
1901 returned from Tennessee River
this evening. Our people along this stream
are complaining very bitterly about a no.
tice having been given by the Postoffice
Department at Washington that the mail
route between Paducah and Eastport would
be discontinued after the first of July. We
have on this route, "a distance of 2G5
miles), twenty-six United States postofices
and over 100 public landings.
I introduced resolution in the House
to-day, requesting our Senators and Re-
representatives. to urge O continuation of
mails on said route. The reason assigned
for discontinuance it that it is an amin
pOrtdRt route. Is it not singular that it
should be regarded as uainap0rtant, when
the Tennessee River is the largest naviga-
BILE stream of the State? Our people will
feel grateful for anything you can urge in
theirdefense. They have paid the United
States taxes levied on them without MUIR
muir, and it certainly does look unjust that
they should be deprived of their mail "a
cilities. Yours, etc.

Decision Affecting Bank cashier.

There has been issued from the Office Of
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue a
decision that the checks of bank cashiers
upon their own banks must bear stamp at
the same rate as promissory notes, viz /:
five cents for each one hundred dollars
The rulings of the Internal Revenue De
partment, says the Cincinnati Gazette,
seem to be made for the purpose Of clog
cling business as much as possible. The
check of bank cashier on his own bank is
as much check in the ordinary meaning
of the term, and should be, as they always
have been; issued with two cent stamp
affixed, as any depositor's check on his
bank account. 1t is said that this decision
of the Commissioner is made to stop the
practice of some banks of issuing time
checks intended to circulate as currency.
If so this abuse of the use of checks should
be stopped without virtually prohibiting
one of the most necessary and convenient
means of facilitating daily and hourly trans
actions in financial circles throughout the
country. The following is the decision re-
ferred to:
TREASURY DFPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REvESUE,
May II, 1870.
SIR-It has been reported TO this Office
that two cent stamps only are affixed to the
official checks of bank cashiers in New
York city, when drawn upon their own
banks. You will please cause inquiry to
be made into the correctness of this report,
and inform me of its result. The two cent
check stamp is to be used when tho check

Dearest GIRL viii you be mine?

And so il came, that IN how'ry May,
This charming girl was given away
By Reverend Yerser,
Who Joined their hands
For better, not to0rsG,
In Loves silken bands
Three other gentlemen from over the Rhine
We're the groomsmen, who brought to Loves
shrine
The maidens attending the charming bride.
All smiling and happy they stood by her side,
And German and English, as at Babels high tower,
Mixed glibly and freely for many an bour;
And no confusion of tongues could we hear,
Tho ugh 'Jch hebe dich" fell oft on my ear; z
And entire nous, from all we could see,
The parson quite often in demand viii be.
The wedding came Of in the finest of styles, -
No cards nor champagne, bat the sweetest Of
smiles; s4H
No laces nor diamonds, but eyee sparkling bright
Outshinipg the jewels, rs daylight does night;
No Flora McFlimseys-no cant nor deceit
But rosy-cheeked girls in their homespun neat.
Oh fast sped the hours in that grove on the noun
tain,
Where toasts were drank from a cool, sparkling
fountain,
And Teuton and Southron with Jest and with song
With plays and good cheer the feas. did prolong.
Gut Hell! friend Otto, you now commence life
With the girl that will make you an excellent wife
For she is industrious, and faithful, and clever
As you are YOURSELF You must cling to her ever
| And stand by her side
With affection and pride.
| Be happy and bask in the sunshine OF life,
And be true to each other in its troubles anG
strife
| God bless you both and oh may the rest
| OF the Germals down here, like Otto, be blest

Sandersville q short time since with singu-

preaching event He was at the church at
that place on the Sunday before his death
the following Thursday, and in unusual
good health. On his return home he re-
marked to his wife that as soon as his son
John returned from Robertson county
where he was on visit that he wanted
his grave clothes sent for as he would soon
die. Mrs. Jones asked him why he thought
80 ; that he was looking well, etc., but he
adhered to his prediction that he would soon
die. His son returned on Monday, and he
repeated his directions as to his grave
clothes, with the additional instruction to
90 up into the lot and he would find some
stones that he had gotten up, setting
against certain tree, and that he wanted
them put at the head and foot Of his grave.
They were found as he stated, one of them
of sufficient weight to try the strength Of
the stoutest man. He was taken i'll the
same day and DR.. James Franklin, skill
full physician was sent for. He was ad-
ministered to, but died the following
Thursday and was buried on Friday.
Among the members of his family at the
funeral was daughter, Mrs. Campbell, a
widow, about 80 years of age. She stated
to a sister after the interment that she
would be the next one buried there. Her
sister replied that no one could Soretell
when death would come. She replied
'Iyes," that ''she knew very well that she
was to die soon, and, sure enough, in a
few days she was laid by the side OF her
father.
