OuR DOUBLE RAmEIED DEMOCRATIC co
TENPoRLRY has made wonderful discovery,
which Il hasteus to communicate to It's readers
as follows
mo PRECEDENT IL entitled to any credit for
payment Of the public debt. Just AZ we'll render
hunOr IN tho cashier Of . bank for paying the
checks Of depusitoft, They are both ministerial
agents and nothing more. Congross lays heavy
taxes ami the people pay them. part Of the
difference between the excess Of reosipts Ind the
actual Expenditures IL appliod 70 the extinction
OF the national Indebtedness. That a the whole
story. The people who foot the bills, who Aro
grOund down with taxation, and whose money is
thus appropriated, are kicked aside, and tho
PTesidont IL put forward as the great magician
who has achieved these wonders
II never struck US in this light before.
This whole debi.rcduction business really
amounts to nothing, and Ia as simple as q, b,
c. First Of all Congress lays heavy taxes,
which the people pay, aud then "a part Of the
difference between the excess Of receipts aud
the actual expenditures Is applied To the &C.
tual Indebtedness. This Is the whole story 2
Now, who would have thought III We ART
indeed grateful TO our contemporary for so do
lighlful an explanation Of our financial prob
lem, but there are one or two points TO the
consideration Of which 1t Is TO be hoped oul
L
contemporary will bend It's gigantic Intellect
Suppose that the cashiers instead OF paying
the checks Of dcpositors should run away
with the deposits, docs not our contemporary
think that that would make a slight differ
cnccl Or, suppose that these same cashier
should 20 into some little speculatiOns OF
their account aud, following tho example Ol
. certain gentlemen In New York who wen
under the name Of Tammanyltes, and o
whom our contemporary may possibly know
something, should appropriate some twenty o.
thirty millions Of dollars in ayear or two, woult
not that interfere somewhat with this beautl

Dopble Homicide.

The Dyersburg Progress Of the 2lst
has the following particulars in refer
ence to shooting ARRAY near that burg
We understand that a shooting ARRAY
occurred at Merriwether's Ferry the
other day, resulting in the killing of two
of the men, and wound in the leg OF
the other. We heard no further particu-
lars of the occurrence than that two
new corners there, mailing, it is believed,
from somewhere up North, got on a
drunk and INDUCED in some pretty Sc
we're swearing the object of their wrath
and hatred being those who fought in
the late rebellion. A Mr.. Sanders, to
whom they were addressing themselves,
had fought in that eventful struggle him
self, and feeling himself insulted, a
quarrel took place between them. They
finally settled matters satisfactorily and
went to their respective homes. About
twelve o'clock that night Mr.. Sanders
was awakened by somebody in his yard
calling his name. He got up, took his
gun and went out to answer the call,
with suspicion that foul play was in
tended He had no sooner closed the
door behind him than he heard voice
say, "Shoot himl" which was no sooner
said than done. He received pistol
shot in the leg. After falling he shot
both of the would-be assassins and killed
them. We we're unable to learn any
further particulars.

TO touch the heart of the average South
Carolina legislator. 1t beats pork and
rice or humble pie ten TO one. Our
sympathies are always with the under
dog in the fight, and in this instance our
favorite stands but little chance to get
the senatorial collar around his neck.
But the colored race is coming to the
front. Our own capital will contain a
proof of this on the 9th of January,
when colored Representative of David
son, the banner" county Of the State
in point of social views and ancestral
pride, will be sworn into Office as one of
our lawmakers. If he suits Davidson
and Nashville he suits us, for heis reputed
to be man of fair sense and of respect
able character in his former sphere.
One fact is plain and undeniable: What
ever party remains long in ascendency
in this coSntry will have to recognize
the colored race, or they will take care
of themselves. Having the votes to
carry several States and the balance OF
power in others, they are prepared, as
they improve in intelligence, to enforce
their demands.

NEW YORK.

New York, November PA large
and enthusiastic meeting of British col
onists favoring annexation of Canada to
the United States was held last night
Their determined action has been caused
by the recent English disapproval Of the
system of British dominions in America,
as manifested through the Canadian
press. Addresses were delivered favor
ing emancipation, and it was decided to
communicate with the colonists OF Buff
falo, Chicago, St. Louis and New Or
leans with reference to choosing inhu-
entail men to cooperate with annexation
in the British colonies upon the subject.
Another meeting will be held on Mon
day evening next.
Stanley, the Herald correspondent,
will be received by the Lotes Club this
evening. A dinner in his honor will be
given at Delmonico's Monday night by
the Herald Club. Tuesday evening the
New York Geographical Society will
honor him in like manner at Del
monico's, after which he will be rendered
reception at Cooper Institute.

TO THE FRONT.

The colored politicians are not tardy
or timid in their demands for Office.
1t was reported that Langston, a
colored lawyer Of Washington, would
apply for position in Grants Cabinet,
but as his appointment would have psae-
tically brought his wife on a social level
with the ladies of the White House, and
that was not to be endured, he probably
received a hint to wait for something
else; so he retired. Now a lively con
test goes on in South Carolina between
Elliott, the colored Congressman, anC
Governor Scott, who both belong to the
extreme Radical party, and both happen
to be aspiring for the United States Sen
ate at the same time. Elliott has mum
bers on his side, but Scott has money
and a ring. and gives big suppers every
night. Elliott says he viii fight it out
as a poor man. and see whether
the Legislature can be bought away
from him. He viii in all probability
find that It can, for turkey well stuffed

A DENIAL OF THE NEW POLICY.

A special dispatch from Washington
dated the 10th states that Harlan's paper
the Chronicle, denies that Grants policy
will be more liberal toward the South
and says that change of policy would
be confession that the Republican
party has heretofore pursued an unwise
and unjust policy. He further says;
"That the President entertains the kind
lest feelings toward the South, and
would have been governed by them had
he not received a single vote in that
section, is an affirmation that may be
made everywhere with a full assur-
ance Of its truthfulness. Every message
be has delivered, every recommendation
he has made, every utterance of his off
cial life, every expression made in his
intercourse with public men, assures us
of his earnest desire for the peace and
prosperity of the States devastated by
the rebellion. We confidently anticipate
that his forthcoming message will re-
newedly bear testimony to his desire for
Southern pacifcation."

BLOCKADED BY SNOW.
The Lives OF One Thousand Men
Imperilled.

ST. Paul, November 22.-We have no
Trustworthy intelligence from the men
blockaded by snow on the Winona and
St. Peter railroad, west Of New Ulm.
DeGraff & Co. had about one thousand
men at work near the western terminus
of the road in Dakota; the snow cut of
the running Of supplies to them for more
than week. Colonel DeGraff made
his way with a train to New Ulm and
purchased supplies, and Superintendent
Stewart started with train carrying
supplies, and now We have rumors that
he was blockaded and could not reach
the river, and that they are compelled
to tear up the road to get ties for fuel.
and that great anxiety is felt on the
frontier for their fate. These are mere
rumors and cannot be traced to any
good authority and are not credited

tang Liniment made its debut in the
West. Its cures Of the yarions external
diseases of horses and cattle astoAished
the planters of the Mississippi and Ohio
Valleys, and demand for it sprung up
which necessitated its manufacture on
an extensive scale. Soon the discovery
was made that it was a grand specific for
rheumatism, govt, neuralgia, earache,
toothache, and other ailments Of
mankind. Then it was tried as a
healing, pain killing application, in
cases Of outward injury, such as cuts,
bruises, burns, spasms, ETC., and was
found equally serviceable. The fame of
the new remedy for some of the most
painful ills that afflict mankind spread
rapidly, and the Mustang Liniment soon
took rank in every State and territory in
the Union as a standard cure. eod-d&w
