Soft Soap WITH PoTAsH.-To
twenty pounds of clear grease
take seventeen pounds of pure
white potash. q prefer this to
the concentrated lye put up IN tin
bOxes.) Buy the potash in as fine
Jumps as it can be procured, and
place it in the bottom of the soap
barrel, which must be water-tight
and strongly hoped. Boil the
grease and pour it boiling hot
upon the potash; then add two
Shaker pallfuls of scalding hot
water; dissolve one pound of borax
in two quarts of boiling water,
and stir altogether thoroughly.
Next morning add two pals OF
cold water, and stir for half an
hour; continue this process until
barrel containing thirty-six gal
Ions is filed up. In a week, or
even, less it will be fit for use.
The borax can be turned into the
grease while boiling, and also one
pound of resin. Soap made lis
this manner always comes, and is
first rate article, and will last
twice as long as that bought at
the soap chandler. The grease
must be fried out free from scraps,
ham rinds, bones or any such de-
bris; then the soap will be thick
as jelly, and almost as clear.

The Cincinnati Liberal Con.

pllShed Its purpose and adj
iourned sine die. Horace
Greedy, Of New York, is its
Presidential nominee, and Gov.
B. Gratz Brown, of Missouri, is
the nominee for Vice-Presi-
dent, Thus begins the Liber-
al campaign in which the Dem
ocratic party is to lose its
identity, and its disintegration
accomplished. This means
nothing more nor less than Civ
ing up the old party ship. 1t
is a virtual surrender of "horse
foot and dragon" to the enc
my. 1t is an abandonment OF
the very life-giving principles
ofthe party. 1t is an acknowl-
edgement to the world that
the policy of the Democratic
party has failed, that the PEG
pie have lost confidence in il
and that It's no longer adapt
ed to the wants OF the govern
ment. A doctrine so startling
and repugnant to truth, will
never be sustained by the peo-
pie. The nation has not lost
confidence in it, but on the
contrary the continuous acces.
sions to its strength demon,
strate the fact that its integ,
rity Is not questioned. The re
cent defeats the party hav,
sustained are not to be attrib
uted to the lack of adherents
but from apathy, resulting
from two prominent causes
first the unnecessary hue ant
cry about the new departure,
and second, the want of a Nil
tional organization. We hav,
no platform of principles ex
cept those adopted in 1868, am
lis generally conceded tina
those do not meet the want
and emergencies of the hour
Give us a platform on which
the East, West, North AM
South can meet in harmony
and the Democratic party vii
present a formidable front in
deed. But let the prospect b,
as it may, take the darkes
view OF the picture and ever
then we cannot better our
selves by abandoning the fell
and supporting a Liberal Re
publican. Who are the SO
called Liberal Republican :
To make an honest confession
and strip the story of all van
nlsh and coloring, the Liberia
Republicans are compose,
principally of sore-headed pol
iticians who have been snut
bed by Grant. In advocatin
their pretended Liberalism
they are actuated more b,
spleen and spite, than by an.
change of principle. To max
a long story short, they hav
failed to realize their ambi
tious schemes through the in
shumentalities of their ow,
party and they now seek t
attain them by coquetting wit
the Democrats. Their number
are supposed to be about tire
hundred thousand strong, ranl
and file, while the Democrat
party will reach three million

The Domestic Food Supply.


ON two propositions, with an
invincible faith, that knew NO
doubling until yesterday. The
first was and is that North Car
DINA will never run short OF
herrings; and the second was,
(but not isl that the supply OF
eggs and chickens will never
fail in Georgia. This pure and
child-like faith in which we
were reared from the earliest
infancy has now failed us, at
least in respect to one half OF
it, and we know not where to
look for another creed. Like a
ship at sea without rudder or
compass we are drifting on the
quickSandS of universal incre-
dulity.
Gentlemen, think of it for
one moment. For many gen
eIations a Undiscovered Geor-
gia cart coming to town has
been a synonym for chickens
and eggs. You never thought
of asking what the man oil the
mule or the woman in the cart
had for sale-you knew that it
was eggs and chickens. And
what Is mOre-tO come down
to particulars-you could al
most tell the month of the year
from a glance at the Load
There was no need of looking
into the almanac in those days.
Just look into the cart and the
relative supply of chicks and
eggs, and the size and devel-
opment of the former, would
tell you the month from Christ
mas to December again.
But all this is gone-played
out-and now it is our solemn
and mournful duty to announce
that Georgia, or at least, this
part Of it, is dependent for it's
supply even of eggs, on Ten
nessee; and not on East Ten
nessee merely, but, perhaps,
the bulk of our eggs comes
from Nashville. 1t is a fact,
the grOcers are bringing eggs
from Nashville, and so soon us
the railroads get to running ex-
press trains, will, doubtless,
import them from Cincinnati,
Chicago and St. Louis.
The other day we asked a
man what part of the food on
his table was produced in
Georgian and after thinking
the question over, he replied
sweet potatoes, milk and
eggs. Now we must strike of
two of the trio. Sweet pota-
toes are goue and the eggs
come from Nashville. With a
patent refrigerating car, milk
will soon be brought here from
the Northwestern prairies. In
the name OF all that is good
and gracious, where are we
Georgians coming to-
The other day we learned
from the President of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad
that the road, among It's west.
ern importations, since the Isl
of January last, had brought
into Georgia a little fraction
short of $4,000 bales of hay, OF
a probable average value OF
five dollars per bale-that is to
say, a hundred and forty-five
thousand dollars worth of hay
in three months of the current
year.
On the same day we had from
the farm of Col. Lampkin, il
Monroe county, an average
sample Of clover from a thirty
acre feld.Sewn last Septembe
showing a growth of fou
feet, and a crop which will Ger
tainly yield next month owe
1000 pounds of hay to the acre

~ of clover growing in Geor
gia the last four years, in on
opinion, demonstrates that W,
can beat Ohio in the produc
ton of hay, and yet this pitia

to perform in exposing frauds
and denouncing rogues.

That may be true, but, thus
far the exposure has done very
little good. The RAIDS keep

THE NATIONAL CENTENNIAL.

In less than four years the nation
will be celebrating what, with the ex-
ception of the day Of its birth, will
be the day OF days in American his
tory. The one hundredth anniver
sary of American Independence is
sure to be marked by reioicings and
festivities on q scale never before
seen on the continent. That memo
rable afternoon in Philadelphia viii
then, having reached the turning
point of the century, begin to assume
an air of antiquity unknown before
the Republic will have passed beyond
its homage, will put on, as 1t were,
toga virilis OF nationality, will cease
to be accounted a splendid but haz-
ardous experiment, and will be &C.
knowledge as a grand historical fact.
The way July 4, 1876, is celebra-
ted in the United States viii be
watched all over the world. Each
step that ia taken to do the occasion
honor, the taste and purpose Of every
public action, will be carefully scam
ed and vigorously criticised. 1t will
be a matter OF grave importance IL
its relation to the national dignity
and the national pride that no errors
should be made at time so conspic
uous and remarkable. Washington
was very solicitous on this point snt
connection with the national holidays
and although it may be said thst II
our modern days people are les
punctilious of etiquette and conven-
tionalisms, it is questionable whether
in this regard the change is an i'm
provement. People may eschev
formalities, and be as free and easy
as they like in their private or socia
relations, and no great harm done
By common consent such freedom
may be assented to with the loss o
as little self-respect as seems fit tt
thos,s interested. But In public ma
tional relations, in dealing with for
eign powers, orS.king action OF any
sort OF broadly Representative char
acter, it is not easily to be TOO cir
cumspect or too delicate OF the hon

Mr.. Greeley is charged with having
written, and in which he gave it a.
his opinion that he could carry New

His Republican supporters were
daily on the Wane. Il was felt, II
was seen, it was breathed in the at

wanted New York to come out OF the
list of doubtful, and join the united
sisterhood of certain, States. Its
position would not affect the result
Of the election, but the Republicans
wanted the great Empire State on its
side and wanted it to occupy that
place in the Union for which nature
intended it. Victory rested with
themselves. He called upon all,
particularly the young men, to organ
ize, and next November their efforts
would be rewarded by q glorious
triumph. Senator Wilson concluded
q very able speech amid great ap-
Dlause.
