differences I'm cost Of Diamonds.

Considering the precious stones simply ~
articles of merchandise, their value depends
on their Intrinsic beauty, aud the general
public has some difficulty ~ approaching
this point. A cores ondent who speaks by
authority, defines the differences ia co-t and
quality very clearly a. follows:
Two diamonds may be Of precisely the
same weight. but one i valued al 500 and
and this difference of value stated, the per-
son wishing to purchase may cYinrc some

The Democrats swept Texas in the
last Congressional election, carrying
every district by overwhelming MAORI
ties. The Radical State authorities
than whom there are not greater set of
scoundrels unhung, have counted three
of the Radical candidates in by throwing
out the votes of counties that gave large
Democratic majorities. The Eliot now
unblushingly commends this infamous
transaction, and comments 1pon the
Democratic accounts of the election that
were published Immediately afer, under
the head of "a good deal o. brag for
nothing" 1t might have added that
if Congress endorses this villainous
scheme, and we do not doub; but that
they will, "a good many Democratic
votes cast for nothing"
Mississippians, remembering the das-
tardly outrage that was attempted to be
perpetrated by the infamous Committee
of Five, by throwing out the vote of
Democratic counties, will understand
this Radical method of carrying elections
that did not win at the polls.

The Mean and C0WarMAy Ferse-
cutfom OF @ouah Car0HfmiRmS.

In another column we have published,
from an impartial source (the n. Y.
Herald, an account of the prosecutions
to which the white people of South Car
DINA are subjected by the Radical au-
thoritis. 1t viii be borne in mind that
South Carolina is more completely under
the SUPERFICIAL domination of Radicalism
than any other Southern State. The
population consists of two-thirds negroes !;
and her Legislature is composed almost
exclusively of negroes, carpet-baggers
and the lowest class of scafawag vernin.
Her government, therefore, presents a
genuine phase of unadulterated Radical
ism. The consequences are seen in the
proclamation of President Grant, sus-
pending the writ of habeas corpus-dc-
priving the unhappy people of civil
government, and turning them over to the
tender mercies of shoulder-strap rule.
If anything were wanting to show that
these warlike proceedings against a de-
fenseless and unarmed people were un'
justifable, the following telegram, pub
lished in late Washington Chronicle
(the Administrations organ) would suf-
fee:
CHARLESTON, Oct. 27.-Adviees from the
upper portion of the State report increas-
ing terror and confusion in the proclaimed
counties on account of the numerous ar
rests made under the Presidents procla-
nation.
The Yorkville Enquirer, received to-
night. says: The wholesale arrests made
| by the military in this county have had a
very depressing influence on business and
/ industrial pursuits generally, and we pre-
sumo such will be the case throughout the
| entire section OF the State embraced in the
| proclamation of the President. Crops re
main IL the field unharvested, and on ac-
| count of the general feeling of insecurity
business is nearly at stand still, while .
/ large number of persons have lett the coun-
ty rather than incur the unpleasant and
uncertain consequences of arrest.

NO ku-KLux IN LAURENs COUNTY.

As showing how exaggerated and often
utterly false have been the reports publish
ed in the radical press of the ontrages com
mItted upon negroes. have only 10 mention
that excepting in an election riot last year,
there has not been negro killed by white
man in Laurens since the war ended.
There have been several cases Of whipping.
but in every case the victim had been guilty
of some offence against the laws. and for
which he had not been punished by the
proper authorities. Ofcourse mob law can
not be justified under any circumstances,
but mention the cause solely for the pur-
pose Of showing that politics had nothing
whatever to do with the troubles.

mARKErHOUsE SYSTEM.
An Act to Abolish the Old Plan and
RemOYe the old Institution

Remove the old InstitutiOn.
Below viii be seen copy of the act to
abolish the markethOuse, introduced in the
Board of Aldermen last Tuesday night by
Aid. d. F. Wilkin, in lieu of the bill apprO-
priating 81 POO for recovering the old estab-
hshment. 1t was adopted in lieu of the
appropriation bill, but subsequently failed
by tie vote. Afterwards, on the motion of
AID. Hugh Douglas, the action respecting
the new proposition was reconsidered, and
the bill in lieu was referred to the Commit
tee on the Markethouse. 1t is as follows
Section 1. Be it enacted by the City
Council of the city of Nashville, That the
building on the Public Square known and
occupied as the markethouse, and the sys-
TEN of marketing as now carried on in the
city, are hereby abolished.
Sec. 2. That all the part of said building
between the main buildings at the south
and north sides of the Square, which has
been used for market purposes, be adver-
tised by the City Marshal for thirty DAYS
after the list day of January, 1872, and by
him sold for cash, and that the purchaser or
purchasers be required to tear down and
remove the same within - days after the
sale, and if not removed within said time,
the City Marshal shall proceed at once to
remove the same, selling enough of the de-
bris and old material to realize money suf-
ticent to pay the expenses of such removal.
Sec. 3. That the system of marketing
and vending of fruits, vegetables, and other
commodities usually sold in market, be left
solely to private enterprise, and subject to a
license and taxation as well as the other
trades, occupations, business houses, shops,
stalls, and marts in the city, which taxation
shall be fixed, if not already, by the City
Council.

Tarverer. by the walker line,

A citizen residing on the Brick Church
pike in the Twenty-first District tells us OF
a somewhat extraordinary family of travel
ers who a few days since passed along that
road. This party of travellers, consisting OF
two men, three women and six children,
were strangers in this part of the country,
apparently foreigners, and all seemingly
members of the same family. They had no
horse or other beast of burthen, but re-
joiced in the possession of five big dogs,
which they said were very valuable animals
and did them good service by catching wild
game for their sustenance. These strangers
were totally destitute of money, and their
clothing was considerable worn. At sew
eral places they applied for food, in every
instance in an abrupt manner, and in no
case seemed at all thankful for any genera
sity bestowed upon them. In answer to
questions, these people stated that they
came from Michigan, and were going to
no place in particular-just travelling
for their own amusement and to see the
country. 1t was ascertained from them
that they rarely stayed in any house at
night, but were in the habit of camping by
the roadside, when they would cook such
food as they and their dogs had gathered up
during the day. These men and women
seem able-bodied and healthy, capable APP
parently Of earning decent livelihood, and
it is therefore a matter of wonder that they
should prefer their present precarious and
uncertain mode of existence.

A Home Mandatory.

Among the many evidences of prosperity
in our city, none are more Enthusiastically
suspicious than the numerous individual en-
terprises springing up among US. The me
chanic or manufacturer who plans his
own business and makes it a success, is, and
should be regarded as a public benefactor,
for the good influence of his example upon
those taking note of his course. Too many
of our public men attach too little impor-
lance to individual effort and enterprise,
while they are disposed to magnify public
interests. We are glad to see our
citizens, Messrs. McCrea, Maury
q Co., pushing forward one of
these private enterprises, and that by their
close attention to its interests, by skill and
fine business tact, they are making their
distillery on South Summer street, at Nos.
~, ia and 176, one of the most successful
of our city manufactures. At this estab-
lishment the jobber can do better than in
any other city, saving freight and many
other items, and gets better article of
liquor. They are able to keep pace with
large demand, as their producing capacity
is from seyenty-five to one hundred barrels
per day.
The outfit of this immense djstillery is
the most complete in the South, while the
large capacity of the two stills which the
proprietors run enables them to be content,
with very small profits, by relying upon the
extent of their business, which is daily in
creasing.
The commercial independence whichsuch
large wholesale manufacturing firms impart
to the city is a strong reason why our peo-
pie should patronize them, while the rea-
sonable rates offered is an argument which
needs no bolstering.
The Office of the firm is in Spring Brook
Block, No. AZ South Market street.

strange-supposed Infanticihe

One of our handsome friends, who keeps
fine lot of trunk-clothes and has large
wardrobe in which to keep them, was
shocked a few mornings ago to discover
what he thought was an infant, which, from
the streaks of blood on its fai-wrought gar
ments, gave evidence of having been muir
dered. Without making a minute investi-
CATION as to the mysterious inmate of his
wardrobe, our friend quickly left the room,
and made for the COroner'S office, but tell
ing his strange story to friend, whom he
met on the way, was induced to return and
give it an examination before making pub
lie disclosures. But judge of his astonished
satisfaction and pleasant chagrin to find
only a beautifully made and elegantly
dressed doll, the gift of some unknown
friend, instead of murdered child. The
doll is on exhibition, and can be seen bv
calling Orwell tell you next time.

Free Bridge.


The election in Edgefield to determine
whether $4,000 shall be appropriated to
the construction Of free bridge across the
Cumberland, takes place on Saturday next,
andin order to secure the appropriation it
viii require two-third vote. 1t is neces-
sary, therefore, that the friends of this
much needed improvement shall be up and
doing. The opposition to the enterprise are
diligently at work, and now boast that
they will be able to secure a
sufficient vote to defeat the proposition. If
you would see Edgefeld grow up and
prosper, vote for the free bridge. BY
its construction, real estate will be en-
HANGED in value, and by the increase in
population which will naturally follow,
every mans business will be doubled.
With her system Of public schools already
in the most fourishing condition, line of
street railroads about to be commenced,
and the attractions that belong to that side
of the river, it is an easy matter to predict
what will be the future of Edgefield upon
the completion of free bridge. We VEN
ture to say that her population would be
tripled in five years.
