THE LAND SCRIP.

The Congressional Committee on
Agriculture has agreed to report
bill allowing the States two years
additional after the LIST Of July, for
taking out their Educational Land
Scrip. In noticing this tact the Sa-
vannah Republican says:
"Sheuld such bill pass Congress,
it would not be amiss for Governor
Smith to submit his action to the
Legislature for ratification, and
prove to interested local cavaliers
that the great body of the people
approve his appropriation of the
Land Scrip
This suggestion is good one, and
Gov. Smith should, by all means,
consult the feelings of the people
upon this subject through the Leg
islature, and he will doubtless find
others in the State, besides "local
cavillers,p who disapprove of his ac-
ton in this Land Scrip appropria-
tion.-Ddlfoe Citizen.

his way out of this dilemma. You
see if he does not follow up Spain

did it because we thought he was

see him recognize and honor the ris-
ing men of Georgia, and kindly say
to those who have had their day on

THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION

a Washington correspondent of
the n. Y. Journal of Commerce has
canvassed the democratic vote of
both Houses of Congress and says
that three-fourths will acquiesce in
the liberal movement and that the
rest will fall in. The writer says
further:
"Viewed from our central stand
point here, the Liberal movement
seems to be fast gaining strength
Its friends do not much care wheth-
er certain prominent gentlemen pro-
claim themselves in its favor before
or after the Cincinnati Convention.
They intend TO make the nomina
ton after such rule that every
body who opposes Grant will be sat-
isfed, and every hostile clement of
strength be centered against him
Already they count in almost any
contingency the electoral votes of
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois
and Indiana in their favor, and have
strong hopes of carrying Ohio"

THRILLING.

The Wilmington Star says a thrill
ing scene occurred at Republican
meeting in that city. A personal
misunderstanding had occurred be-
tween two colored statesmen in the
asscmbIage, and one Of them raised
his hand in solemn protest, saying,
emphatically, "Gemmen, SIGH pro-
ceedings as desc, in de time of Gen
eral Washington, would have been
deemed maligerous!' Upon this
significant remark, quoth his oppo-
nent: "Sar, did you presume to
say maligerouS n "What | done
say, has spoken :" solemnly replied
the other. "Do circumstance re-
quire no explanashun and resist"
said the first speaker, and seated
himself with becoming dignity
Quiet was restored, but there was a
perceptible odor of musk in the vi
cinity of the belligerents for sever
al minutes.

PREJUDICE

How many of our opinions are in
fluenced by early bias ! how few Of
US can claim that we are free from
the faint of prejudice 1t is the
enemy of truth, the chief obstacle to
science and philosophy, the foe of
reason. 1t is veil which clouds
perception, moral narcotic which
stupefes conscience. 1t blinds
judges, and defeats the administra-
ton of justice. 1t is the parent of
intolerance, and bigotry. 1t en-
ables unprincipled men to rise to dan
gerous eminence, and is the most es-
sential and potent bulwark Of OPP
preston in every land. Its eradi-
cation can not be too early or earn
estly sought by those who would in
cuIcate sound economic principles
among the masses.
