WHEELER's CAVALRY VS.. Ku-KLux.-


WHEELER's CAVALRY VS.. Ku-KLux.
Our old war comrade, Bill Wyatt, Of the
Sixth Georgia cavalry, made a ten-strike
the other day He captured three Of the
Ku Klux that Gov Bullock has been adver-
Using for, carried them to Chattooga, Court
House, got them convicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary for seven years, and came
down on Bullock for the prize money
$1,000 for the first, and $1,000 each for
the balance-making 81, 900 in all. Bull
lock paid up like d little man." and Wy att
went home happy. This amount of III 'ney
in Chattooga county, all at one time: will
create a tremendous excitement. The beau
ty of the whole affair is that these Ku-Klux
were common radical thieves, and were
playing Ku-Klux to cover their stealing
operations Bully for Wheelcr's cavalry.

Senator Sumner made his great speech
against Grant Ia the Senate on Monday last,
and it wasn't such a great speech either
Hesmakes numberless charges against Grant,
Of assuming kingly powers, eAahroiling the
country in foreign difficulties, endeavoring
TO control the action of the Senate &c. &c.,
and all to exhibit his ''pent up" spleen
Grant is amenable to charges, but in this
little controversy we are like the woman in
the fight between her husband and the Bear
--we don't care which whips
His spleen forced him to emit thief following
pointed arguments against Military interior
ence in elections:
"By statute Of the last century, all SOL
disrs CHARTERED at the place of an election
fer members of Parliament were removed at
least one day before the election to the dis
lance of two miles or more, and though this
statute has baen modified latterly, the prin-
ciole has been preserved. No soldier with
in TWO miles Of place OF election is allowed
to go out of the barracks or quarters in
which he is stationed, unless to mount guard
or to vote. This safeguard of elections is
qindicated by the great commentator, Sir
William Blackstone, when he says cit is
essential to the very being Of Parliament
that elections should be absolutely free.
therefore all undue Influences upon the
electors are illegal and strongly prohibited
In accordance with the principle, as early
as 1893 a committee of the other house Of
Congress reported against the seat Of Rep
resentative on the ground that United States
troops we've quartered near the place Of cleo
ton and were marched in body reund the
courthouse. And now that an election is
to occur in St. Domingo, whore national in
dependence is the question, nothing is clear
er than that it should be, in tue language of
Blackstone, absolutely frse," and to this
end all naval force should be Withdrawn at
least until the "eleetion'' is determined
Lord Coke, the great English authority, tells
us that election is when man is left to
his ovn free wiM, to take or do one thing
or another which be p!easee" But the Do
minican people must be left their own free
will.
Substitute for ''St. Domingo" and ''Do-
minican people, Southern States" and
Southern people" and how ell this reads
in the light of the Enforcement Bill ! But,
when "cronies" fall ont the truth will come.

The election for Congressman will take
place in Connecticut on Monday next,
April 3rd.
In the Spring of 1868 it gave English,
Democrat, for Governor 1,764 majority
In the following fall General Grant, for
President, carried the State by 1896 ma.
jority. In 1869 Jewell, Republican, car
ried the State by AL majority In 1870
the tables were again reversed, and English
Democrat, was elected by 843 majority It
will thus be seen that the State is very
close, and that few hundred votes have
generally decided the result. In the forty
first Congress the delegation of Connecticut
consisted Of three Republicans and one
Democrat, the majorities being respectively
1856, 424, and l, 100.

The Purest and Safest.

The efficacy Of Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach
Bitters as specific for recruiting the enfeebled
body and cheering the desponding mind, has passed
into proverb In the United States, where this
marvellous tonic has borne down all opposition,
and eclipsed all rivalry, the demand for it has an
nually increased in heavier and heavier ratio for
years. until at last the regular sales of this pre-
parsion exceed those Of all other stomachics com
bined Eminent members of the medical profess
sion, and hospital surgeons without number, have
candidly admitted that the pharmacopeia OF the
faculty contains no prescription that produces
such beneficial effects in dyspepsia, general de-
blity and nervous diseases, Hostetter's Bitters.
To use the language of venerable physician OF
New York, 1.-THE Btters are the purest stimulant
and the safest tonic we have" But the uses OF
the great vegetable antidote are much more COM
prehensive than such praise would imply. As a
preparatory antidote to epidemic disease, genial
stimulant, a promoter of constitutional vigor, an
appetizer, a stomachic, and q remedy for nervous
debility, no medicinal preparation has ever at
tanned the reputation Of Hostetters Biters. 1t is
the household tonic of the American people, and
In all human probability will be So for centuries to
come. The magnates of science recognize its mer-

Weight for Inches.

AN article in the Herald Of Health says
that one of the earliest efforts made to OBJ
tain anything like fixed relation between
hight and weight was that of DR.. Boyd,
who weighed a number of inmates at st,
Marleybone Work house, England He
took the hight and weight of one hun
dred and eight persons laboring under
consumption, and found they averaged
five feet and seven inches in hight and
sixty pounds in weight.
He then measured and weighed one
hundred and forty-one persons who were
not consumptive, and found that their
average hight was five feet three inches
and that they weighed one hundred and
thirty-four pounds. This subject attracted
the attention of the late DR.. John Hutch
inson, and he determined to take the hight
and weight of all classes Of persons in this
community. In this way he collected the
hight and weight of upward of five thou
sand persons. The following table, ac-
cording to his calculation, shows the rela.
ton which should exist between hight
and weight in healthy person, speaking

over in pieces as the tank filled, and after
the application of liquid the quantity of
worms that came to the surface was sur

How to Soften Hard Putty.

II is we'll known that the common put
ty, with which glass window.panes are
fixed in their frames, is made of powdered
chalk and linseed,oil. When old it be-
comes so hard that, in case its removal is
necessary, chisel and hammer must be
resorted to- In fact, il becomes like a
stone, harder than the wood itself, pieces
of which often break off unless peculiar
care is taken in removing the putty, This
hardness becomes serious inconvenience
when large pane, say of valuable plate.
glass has to be removed for the purpose of
repairs in the woodwork, or for some
other cause. Here the use of chisel and
hammer on the, putty surrounding the
glass may cause serious damage along the
edges, or even total fracture. An agent TO
soften the putty in such cases, so that it
may be removed easily, is, therefore, of
some value This may he effected with q
paste of caustic potassa, easily prepared
by mixing the caustic alkali, or even car
Donate of potash or soda, with equal parts
of freshly.burnt quick lime, which has
previously been sprinkled with water, so

SprOutiug Potatoes.

THE Germantown telegraph says;
Sprouting the white potato will advance
the crop two weeks They should be cut
so that about two eyes are allowed to each
piece, and these should be planted in hot
beds, with very thin covering of soil OF
it is better to plant in boxes, and set these
in hot.bed, so that after they are properly
sprouted they can be at once carried to the
place Of planting
If the nights should be any way cold
protect with thin covering of straw when
the plants make their appearance above
ground.
Some persons, who want large guam
tity sprouted, cut the potatoes as desired,
and spread them on boards, boxes or crates,
in dark place, and when sprouted, say
from an inch to an inch and half, expose
them TO the light, moistening two or three
times week with tepid water. They
should be planted out, so that there is not
more than two inches of soil over the top
of the sprouts.

AmERIn1N WAToHEs.

EVERY man who has anything to do re-
quires q reliable timekeeper. A feeling of ma
tional pride leads all to prefer an American
watch. But local dealers have for several
years discouraged their customers from buy
Ing them-and for this reason only A larger
profit could be made on foreign matches, and The
frequent repairs such tUdtches required tods a
steddy source Of income to The matchmaker.
Waltham watches have year by year grown
into favor with all who have worn them !;
they have proved not only reliable but eco
nomical, as repairs are seldom needed. They,
like other standard articles, are sold at mode
rate prices, which afford the retailer but a
small profit compared with that which can
be made on other watches But they require
no urging. They sell themselves Hence,
wide-awake dealers make this up by keeping
full stock and selling larger number. Many
dealers now divert their customers from the
Waltham to other inferior watches, and, by
disparaging the Waltham and recommending
these comparatively unknown watches, they
sell them for higher price, and thus secure
larger profit. We understand that Waltham
watches are furnished to the retailer at prices
which win enable him to sell them cheap and
yet make a fair profit. Therefore, all intend.
ing to purchase, and who prefer an American
watch, should insist on having their prefer.
