ZEN. WHIrrHORNE, our able and
distinguished Representative in Con-
gress, has returned to his home in
our County, Congress having adjourn
ed. During the entire session, from
the 4th of March, he has been faith
fully at his post, and in every way
that an able and true man could serve
his constituents, he has labored
for our people, by eloquent speeches
and earnest work on important Com
mittees. The Democratic Congress-
men seem to have appreciated at
once GEN. WHITTHoRNE's rare talents
and executive ability, and had him
placed OH the Committees which held
in their hands the liberty, lives and
property of the people of the South.
We are glad to hear him speak so
cheerfully of the political future of
the country. He mentions, as good
omen, that no one particular man is
spoken of as probable candidate for
the Presidency. The Democracy of
the nation, leaders and all, realize the
crisis through which we are passing,
and no political ambition or personal
preference will be allowed to imperil
the success of the Democratic ticket
in 1872. This proves not only that the
party is patriotic to the core, but also
ensures success in the great coming
contest. They realize that we must
win, or be ruled by all Emperor.

special tax on apothecarics by section

PATENT SILVER MOULD WHITE
CLOTHES LINE /!

To tie Ladies of Ma,sry and AdJoinisg
CbuRtics:
WE ASK THE PRIVILEGE OF SOLIC-
w iting your attention to our new quality
Of Clothes Line Wire, manufactured in such .
manner, Of white metallic substance, that it is
prevented from ever corrodiDg or changing
from its beautiful white color during any num-
Der of years. We guarantee il to be perpetual
ly infaliible against rust, and after you have
used it we are confident that you will concur
with the statements OF thousands Of families
loud in its praise who have it in use.
The following are the advantages gained by
sing these Patent White Wire Clothes Lines:
LIST. They are truly an ornament wherever
placed, always retaining that shining whitcness,
are forever clean and never have to be taken in.
no matter what the weather may be, water or
frost cannot effect them.
ID. The durability of this Wire Line is one of
the greatest considerations, as it will last from
thirty 10 fifty years, and during that time yors
will wear out great many common lines,
sides being Obliged to pnt up with an immcn 8
amount Of trouble with them. 4
Sd. After it is put up and wiped of il is az ,
ways clean, while rope line is more or lfU
exposed 10 dust and dirt and must be wash
before il is used or il will soil the clothes. Y
4th. By actual experience ii is found to be BY
far the cheapest clothes line, besides its great
convenience. This viii last lifetime.
5th. You can never hang it too heavily with
clothes.
6sh. Another Of the chief advantages of this
line over the rope line is that clothes Of any kind
will not freeze to il In cold weather, and the
finest fabrics can be removed at any time with
out injury. A rope line will always absorb
more or less moisture from the clothes, and in
cold weather will freeze through and through,
and thin articles cannot be removed without q
liability of tearing them. While the wire being
of pure metallic substance does not absorb
the slightest moisture, consequently there can
not be frost enough formed to cause an adhesion,
and even the finest gauze can be removed from
the line without injuring it in the least.
It'll. The alkalies now being used in the pat
ent soaps Ia ve net the least effect On the White
Wire Lines. They dry quick and escape.
9Th. 1t will save you its price in saving you
time and trouble every six months you own it.
9th. 1t never will break and drop clothes in
to the mud. The old rope line is frequently the
cause of a whole day extra washing. This one
thing alone is enough to condemn the old style
Of lines farever, and call into requisition ar
ticle that is free from all such provoking annoy
ances, something strong, clean and durable.
Get the Patent Everlasting White Wire Line,
then you have it right.

TIE primal object of the Infamous
Ku-Klux act, is of course to secdrc
the reelection of General GRANT, in
which event it would not surprise us
if 1876, tie period of his second Pres
idcntial term, found us in the agonies
of national dissolution, with GRANT
as Emperor. History will then tell
postcrity how the "best Government
in the world" when precisely GEN.
fury old, and proof against dangers
from abroad, died by its own hand.
The country has nothing to hope
for from General GRANT. A military
accident, blown to the surface by the
tempest of war, he is equally po-
litical accident, indebted for his po-
litical birth 10 partizan necessities
and his own want of merit. A mill
tary commander, without the genius
to devise, or the talent to execute, he
is statesman without wisdom, with
out moderation and without expe-
rience; General who led, or, rather,
drove his men into battle without
prudence, and behold their slaughter
without regret, he is political ruler
who governs without Judgment, and
who spcculates without limit. The
ready donec of half the nation, he is
the object of a nations contempt, and
the seryile tool of the very men who
dcspisc and use him. What should
such creature do, crawling tctwixt
Garth and heaven? What is the coun-
try TO expect at the hands of such a
ruler? Had he one element of states
manship, or reason, or a spark of GEN
uine patriotism, we might, in this,
find some guarantee against the direct
evils of this last great infamy, though
we might not avert its Incidental bad
effect upon the American people, by
Notwithstanding them with the
