THE LION.

Ur. j. ID. Lyon, the old reliable
Kentucky stOck>drover, who has
been stocking our county the past
three years, will be i'll our midst
shortly, wi tn several car loads Of
fine, Kentucky horses and mules.
We advise our farmer friends, who
wish to buy excellent stock, on their
own terms, to call on Lyon.
A SUGGESTION.-Int the absence
of theatrical and other amusements,
and in view of the long winter even
ings which are before US, we would
suggest to our young mems li.er-
airy association the proprie'y of
giving occasional entertainments for
the pleasure and edificaiion of 'he
community. Public debates, months
~ addresses, or, dramatic exhIbI,
tions, would supply Il great intellec-
tual need, and meet the approval OIL
a large number of our citizens. Be-
sides the improvement to those i'm
mediately concerned, such intellect
nal exhibitions will afford lyeaI.hful
recreation for the mental faculties,
and materially aid the enjoyment
of our people. We have seen the
salutary effects of such entertain
ments in other places less favored,
and there is no good reason why
Canton should not enjoy like advan-
tages and benefits. We have the.
talent among our young men, and
all that is necessary il for them to
move in the matter. We make this
suggestion for the general good, and
hope it may, at least, receive that
consideration which It's Importance
demands

Bad Government in Alabama.

that locality:
Many of u citizens are emigrating,
delusively hoping to find some relief
from suffering in Texas or elsewhere.

litical ruin we are fast approaching,
and all fear that it is useless to hope
to be able to escape an unhappy desti.

mongrclization! They have lost faith

and know well that neither remon.

any measure, however evil in its ma.
ture or injurious in its effects, upon
which the Radical leaders at Washing
ton may determine. They have strug.
glcd m%anfully to relieve themselves
from the dreadful influences of Radi.
calism, but the majority of the North
ern and Western people still insist on
voting the Radical party into power at
Washington, and it has been and still

least regard to the present or past ron

them as rapidly and thoroughly as
possible, having no other view or feel.

them as political instrumentalitics to
preserve and strengthen a hostile,
cruel and disastrous rule! Hence i n
their despair many of our citizens may
be seen wandering about from one
State or locality into another, hoping
to avoid in one place evils so tortur-
ingly felt in others. But Texas is no
better oil than Alabama, and both of
these States, as well as the whole
South, are being impoverished every

which they are so relen,lessly subject.

This infamous scandal and swindle
is still undergoing investigation. So
far only one Democrat has been i'm
plicated--all the others are Republl'
cans. Last summer, when the matter
was first mentioned that Congressman
had been specializing in stocks more or
less affected by their votes in the
House and Senate, one after another
they got up all oven the country and
fatty denied that they had anything to
do with the stock. No one prominent
man was more vehement in protesting
his innocence than Schuyler Colfax.
Brought to the bar, however, after
Grants election, tho Vice-President
acknowledges the stock, but says it
was not his; it was his wife's. Where
upon the New York Tribune says:
avery good; why not say so last
summer? Vice President Colfax lin
gered some time before making his de.
Tense; and then, after a purely gratui
tous assault upon the Liberal candi
date for the Vice. Presidency, he pratt
tied on about the great national value
Of the Pacific Railroad, about tn
S~tudebecker Wagon Company ant
; Somebody Il Co.'s Clover Separate
Company, and various other things
, but the upshot oft all was that he sol
EMMY denied the Credit Mobile
charges. A careful examination o
the speech shows that there was q Jug
Cling compromise with conscience a
the while. The Vicc.President did no
intend to tell u lie. But from tina
y weak palLering with the tHlth he wa
c led on to what now seems false swear
u ing; and, unless :elief opens throug
y the cruel wall of evidence about him
= he is a moral ruin. Why not hay
told the whole truth last summer
Why not then make the p~alliating cor
~fcssion which has since been wrun
o from him in the Committee room?
"In this way we might go throug
