m:-A correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, writing from Washington, says I:
"It is declared in Republican quarters
that the colored voters in Georgia will be
advised to stay away from the polls in
November, so that the plea may be made
that the electoral vote of the State should
not be counted for President, Oh the
ground that there was intimidation crea-
ted by the disturbances ut the October
election.
M:y- The value of the State of Colorado
as grazing country, is illustrated by the
results of this year alone. The Denver
Tribune says that more than seventeen
thousand cattle have been shipped from
this new State, during the present season,
at an average price Of S35 q hcad-re-
turning to the State nearly six million
dollars.
ms- The latest judicial decision of spe-
cial interest to passengers on railroad
cars has just been rendered at Norwich,
Connecticut. A gentleman and his wife
were injured in getting off n train at that
place because 1t did not stop long enough
to allow the passengers to alight in safety,
and they lave obtained u verdict for
$l,SO0.
ny- Struggle on to victory. Never
give up when you are right. A frown Is
amuscular contraction and can't lastlong.
A laugh of derision is but the modified
bark of cur. If you can be laughed
out of good, or the good out of you, you
are weaker in intellect than the fool,
whose argument is gufTaw, and whose
logic is sqeer.
rR Hereafter the only government
stamps used will be upon tobacco, checks,
proprietary medicines, fermcnted liquors
and matches. The "eternal fitness Of
things' is here represented; matches to
light the tobacco, liquors to keep up the
spirits of tho smokers, medicines to
clarity the results, and checks to pay the
piper with.

of her presents was 100000.

The Concert for the Benefit of the
Youne Mems Christian Association.

The attendance at the Amateur Concert,
on Thursday evening last, was not as
large as the character of the performance
or the object of the concert deserved. The
audience, however, was an appreclative
one. and thoroughly enjoyed the fine music
of the occasion. -.
Mrs. Mahon was enthusiastically re-
ceiyed, and fully justified herreception by
her delightful singing. "Lo aFompeass
Guerrero" was beautifully rendered, and
her perfect control Of voice in most difficult
passages of vocaIzation enrapured her
hearers With voice, full round and
sympathetic, thoroughly cultivated, 8.
perfect appreciation Of the sentiment. OF
couposers. and admirable taste and feeling
combined make her singing exquisite.
Mr.. James Bacon rendered the Overture
from I" THE Merry Wives Of Windsor,
with great brilliancy of execution and
good taste. He is by far the most finished
Amateur Pianist within our knowledge.
Miss Erwin sang Ermant, E1nana. IN
yolami' very we'll, and Miss Sawyer
pleased all with "GOOd-Bys Srsethsart.
Mr. s E. Orchard performed with great
success upon the violin, and deserves high
commendation. His playing was much
admired as it is always, and we award
him great praise.
Mrs. Cheatham's vocalization was ar
tistic and spirited, especially in the Caoa
tina Semiramide. Her voice is very fine,
and beautifully cultivated. The trios,
ouartette and the chorus, were decidedly
good, and the audience were delighted
With them. We make mention of Miss
Hawlev's voice as remarkably good. 1t
is rich contralto, ana is well cultivated.
Mr. Duvall and Mr.. Tappan, both have
fine baritone voices, and sung their re-
spective solos with success. Mr. Duvall
has beautiful voice, and gave great
pleasure by the MarsaIlaise." Mr. Tap
pans scope Of voice is greater than any
we have ever heard before, singing with
perfect ease either deep baritone or
3 high tsnor. Mrs. Rowland also sang
yerv well indeed. Professor kepper de-
serves commendation for his performance,
both on the violin and piano. The con-
Cert was under his direction, and its sue
cess is largely due to his efforts and mu'i'
cal ability
Captain Iredell, as the general manager
of the concert, performed his part with
his usual eficiency.-South Carollnlan

Sad News for the straight-out Demo-
crate.

Sad News for the straight-Out Demo-
Gratis.
It Is announced that Col. Blanton Dun
can, the head and front of the great Lou
isville Straight-Out Democratic party,
has determined to leave the United
States and locate permanently in Europe.
What has caused this determination we
are not prepared to say. Whether it is
his modification at the failure of his re-
cent Convention, or the subsequent fail
ure of his True Democrat newspaper, or
OConnor's persistent determination to
decline his nomination, it is difficult to
guess. Or 1t may be that political mat
ters at home have nothing to do with 1t,
and he goes to Europe thinking the op-
perfume moment has arrived when he
will be able to assist in placing his friend
and correspondent, Louis Napoleon, on
his throne again. At any rate, when Col.
Blanton Duncan goes to Europe the Bour-
bon Democracy ceasesto exist in the Uni
ted States.

VIII. Makes the Mani

What Is 1t that makes p man? Can
you tell? We can tell you what does
not. Good clothes do not; learning does
not. You must have something else to
make man of. We have seen good
description of man, which reads thus:
A beautiful soul, loving mind,
Full of affection for its kind:
A helper of the human race,
A soul of beauty and of grace;
That truly speaks of God Within,
And never makes league with sin.
This is the kind of man worth some
thing in the world. we want great
many more such men than we have now.
Will YOU not strive to be such man?

A form of constitution was also adopted

Ms- Marshal Dazaine still awaits his
trial. which is destined to be probably
the most interesting State trial, barring
that of Louis XVI, which has ever oc-
CURED in France. He is under duress,
charged with double crime, that OF
having capitulated without necessity,
and that of having betrayed France. The
Paris Ruppel states that there is no doubt
of his conviction upon the first charge
should he be found guilty of the second
the cry will be, "Otf with his head''
