BY way of preface to the following
pungent Z and truthful paragraph,
says, the Upio,s /. and AMERICAN, we
may state that Judge Nicholson dees
notconsidcr himselfas tutoring under
any disability disqualifyins him. to
hold Office, but out Of. Difference to the
wishes ofpersonal friends, Radicals at
that, who desired that there should
not be left even a pretext for carping,
the Judge applied to Congress to re-.
move his supposed disabilities. This
statement does not, however relieve
the Radicals in Congress, and especial,
ly Horace Maynard, of the inefEable
meanness that would strike down a
high toned, honorable. gentleman
whose virtues they cannot emulate.
The St Lous Republican says: bg
Before the Senate passed the am
nesty bill, q few days ago, it struck out
the name of A.lO. p. Nicholson, Of
Tennessee, man whose learning,
ability and knowledge of public affairs
make him the superior of five-sixths
of the members of the United States
Senate. His submission to the au-
thority of the government and dccep-
lance of the result of the war have
been so complete that not 4 flaw could
be found in them. He has done every
thing except join the Radical party.
But it was all too little ;thc one thing
he left undone was the very thing ex-
acted of him had he joined the do
minant party, he might not only have
been amnested, but honored with a
high Office in the, government (which
he sought to destroy. The people Of
Tennessee desire to make Judge Mich
olson one, of the Justices of the SUI
nreme Court, and there is not man
in their State, and very few in any
State, better fitted by learning, ex-
perience and personal worth to occu-
py the position. But. the Senate de.
clarcs that while an ex-Confederate
like Stokes may be Governor of Ten
nessee, if he can be elected, a renegade
Confederate and cadetship dealer like
Butler, of Tennessee, may sit in Con-
gress an honorable man like Nichol-
son shall not serve the people of his
State as Judge of their Supreme Court,
nor in any other important official
capacity" i,t,i p ..'' 2H-i'.

There is an old adage that curses, like
chickens, will come home to roost,' and
that however good a joke we may have
on others, we may be liable at some time
to have the scales turned upon us. Our
good looking young friend, Billy, the
clerk, is a good hand to perpetrate them
at the expense of others, and was quite
elated at his success in last weeks HER
AID, for he gave Loosh particular fits
over his verdancy, when he applied to-
bacco juice to his eyes to keep awake in
the afternoon. 1t seems that the young
gentleman has now got tobacco juice in
his eye; we are not certain though about
that, as the doctor says he don't exactly
comprehend his case-it may be an over
dose of jealousy or something else-we
can't tell, but however, from the green
patch he wears over his eye, it would APP
pear that the green eyed monster were
being personated to perfection. We
should advise him to take trip to Ar
kansas, and should he secure sovereign
balm that he clamp it Immediately and
homeward HE, that we may once more
enjoy the fullness of those precious orbs
he once himself enjoyed.

New Advertisements.

We call the attention of our readers TO
the advertisement of w. l.. Murphy. At
Mr.. Murphy's invitation the other day,
we inspected his store. We found that
he had several new and interesting fea-
lures introduced. He has different
grades of every article, SO that purchas-
er can have his choice between an ex-
pensive and fine thing and common
and cheap thing. In the article of cas-
tor, he has them at all prices, varying
from Sl.5O, to Sl2.50-from the plain and
substantial to the beautiful and elegant.
The same thing obtains in lamps, and
everything else. The cheap will suit
persons of moderate means, and then
those for intermediate sums will please
persons that prefer the plain and sub
stantial, while there are others to suit
people of high minds, full purse and
bright fancy. His knives and forks es-
pecially attracted our attention, as he
drove a fork he sold for Sl.50 per sett, into
the wood, and twisted it into all sorts of
shapes, without the least injury. They
are good steel.

Florence Wesleyan University.

Wehad the pleasure of meeting on last
Wednesday morning Prof. b. f. Meek,
one Of the teachers in the Wesleyan Uni
versity at Florence, Ala. Prof. Meek
is brother of the late distinguished
Judge A. b. Meek, and was formerly
one of the editors of the Mobile Register.
The school which Prof. Meek represents
was one of the best in the South before
the war, and a number of boys of our
county received their education there.
Its present faculty numbers some of the
ripest scholars and ablest men in the
South, and the pearness of the school to
Columbia makes it especially advanta-
geous for our young men to go there for
instruction. Florence is equal to any
tages, refinement and hospitality, and
The student is thus offered the privileges

ton to vice,

Reader, if you have sick Horse do
not dose him with Condition Powders
containing anthony, which is just as
useless and injurious to him as is the
constantly swallowing of poisonous COM
pounds to the human system. 1t is
more humane to knock a horse on the
head at once than to kill him by inches
through the action of anthony, which
accumulates in the system, and thus
sooner or later produces death by anti
nonial poisoning. Remember, reader,
there is no anthony, nor any other pois-
on in the Equine Condition Powders.
Their action under all circumstances, is
physiological; therefore they can be safe
ly used in all forms of disease whether
acute or chronic) with decided benefit to
afflicted animals.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
Congress can pass no law forbid
ding immigration certainly no law
discriminating against a single nation
atty. If such legislation is had it
must be ola general nature, and ap-
ply with cqual:fo to immigration
from all countries. Who does not
know that if such a check were put
upon immigration, labor would be
dearer than it is, to the detriment of
all industrial enterprise The Irish
man and the German come because
wages are better than in his own
country. For the same reason comes
the Chinaman. The latter is willing
to work for less money than the
other. He has clear right to do SO,
if he believes he is getting all his la
Dor is worth. He must be the Judge
of that, not Congress nor the State
Legislature, neither of which can UNI
dertake to regulate the prices of labor
by law. -
From the San Francisco (Cal.) Examiner
We solemnly believe that no black
er and more damning crime against
humanity was ever committed in any
age of the world than that of which
the men at Washington are guilty who
have voted to tie the hands of our
State and take from it the power to
protect her people against this Asiatic
inundatiOn. We believe that hang
ing would be too good for any Sena-
tor or Congressman from this coast
who voted for the Chinese features
of the "force bill" We believe that
they are traitors to their State, trail
tors to their people, and traitors to
humanity. They should not be per-
mitted to show their faces among our
people. Men have been hung by
mobs for thousand-fold less crimes.
Indeed, we know of no crime which
approximates i'm magnitude this Mon
gOlian immigration business.

THE following beautiful lines were
received bya handsome young. friend OF
ours from an unknown lady. The
penmanship is the most beautiful we
ever saw.] Hfi'L Hiii :
The stars-the beautiful stars are set,
Like gems in the midnight sky;
And fancy that now our thoughts have met,
And together ascend on high;
That we both are watching with earnest gaze
Their:noiseless, ceaseless motion,
With feelings as pure as their own soft rays,
And hearts of deep devotion. .---
Then, as their glorious course mark,
And think of the sages old,
Who deemed from their mysteries, strange and
dark, i'm
Fate's web they could unfold;
blend their faith with the brighter creed,
That lifts my soul above,
While at the throne of grace plead,
For THEE, MI ABSENT Love.
1 ask, if those orbs of light
An influence ever WELD, ~
That all of beautiful and bright,
Which hope and fancy yield, -
May with their silvery beams descend,
In blessings fall and free,
And through the the unknown future blend
Their hottest gifts for thce3 ozsz
But rs the wih dream of their power, =
Fades before Reasons ray,
I-raise my thoughts at this silent hour,
To ther Source supreme, and pray
That He whe brmed those stars Of light,
Thy guardian e'er will be, -
And Shed his beauties, pure and bright,
