That was a very cruel stab which Gen.
Garfield, Of Ohio, gave the President the
other day. a convention of Republicans
in his district passed resolution inviting
him to resign, because he voted for the in-
crease of his salary as a member of Con-
gress. He goes at the convention thus:
off the delegates believe the retro active
salary clause is so infamous that | ought to
resign for voting for the appropriation bill to
which it was attached, will they follow out
their logic aid insist that the President
ought TO resign for signing it? Ny vote
did not make it law. His signature did,
That is a sort of logic which Gen. Gar
fields Radical constituents do not under
stand, and which the President will neither
appreciate nor approve.

ACCORDING to a statement recently made
in the British House of Commons by MIR.
Anderson, of Glasgow, Scotland, when ad-
dressing that body in favor Of bill to re-
dress the inequalities in the distribution of
political power in the United Kingdom,
there are now in England eight constitu-
encies, with an aggregate of 1910 votes,
which has the same representation as eight
others with 23S,500 voters. The Philadel-
phia Age says: "This is the same principle
upon which the present Congressional ap-
portionment bill of this State is based that
received the official sanction of Gov. Hart
ranft. While the people of England are
endeaVoring to break up this infamous sys-
TEN, the Ring Of this State, aided by the
Governor, are making it more unjust and
offensive, more at variance with the genius,
spirit and working of republican of gov
ernment." This principle has been carried
out by the Republicans in quite number
of the States, but the "organs" have no
fault to find with this system of represen-
tati0n.

THE Memphis anti-funders deny that
any railroad ring has any part in their en-
deavors to iDjure the credit of the State, and
ask what interest railroad can have in de-
preciating the bonds. Let us suppose a
case. Suppose the Mississippi Central
Railroad owed the State 100000, ard
could buy the bonds of the State at a dis
count Of thirty cents on the dollar, would
it not make 100000 by the operation? If
it could get the bonds of the State at fifty
cents on the dollar, would it not make
100000?

The Cincinnati Enquirer says: "L0uis
lana to-day is the American Poland; Kel-
logg is the Grand Duke of the Washington
Administration, and New Orleans is his
Warsaw. He was never chosen Governor,
but was badly beaten by a majority of
thousands. Hardly man who owns a
dollars worth of property is for him
in the whole State. The people, al
most in q mass, are opposed to his usurpa-
ton. he was put in his place by rascal
" fraud and trick by a United States
Judge, backed up by the United States
Government. We do not believe that he
can remain where he is. The Louisiana
people prefer tyranny direct from Wash
ipgton, rather than that of this carpet-bag
usurper. 1t looks as if they would drive
him off, and take the risk of military rule"
But the Grant administration seems deter
mined to force this usurper upon the peo-
pie. While there are no troops to send to

ONE Of The organs of the Memphis Anti
funders says by innuendo that it does make a
difference to the taxpayers of the State
whether the State bonds are worth, in the
market, fifty cents or one dollar and fifty
cents to the dollar. There is argument for
you. That is sound anti-funding argument
fer you, and about as nearly forcible and
correct as a Memphis anti-funder can use.
When the bond becomes due the State
has to pay it dollar for dollar, no more and
no less, whether it be worth in the market
more or less than dollar for dollar.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM has just receiv-
ed new illustration in South Carolina
According to the marlborough Gazette,
one Licksfield Grant, has been the watch
man at the capitol building in Columbia
ever since it was erected, but an excess Of
indiscreet zeal has now brought him to
grief. 7 he South Carolina Legislature. un-
accountably neglected to steal the furniture
from the Capitol before adjourning, and a
politician named jim Washington under
took TO remedy the oversight. Licksfeld
Grant caught him as he was removing the
carpets through one Of the windows Of the
building, and had him arrested. The re-
suit of this unealled-for interference with
the customs of South Carolina politicians
was to bring down on the faithful watch
man the wrath Of Gov. Noses, who at once
removed Graut and appointed the man
whom he had caught stealing ia his place.
Gov. Moses regards the late election as a
complete endorsement Of his policy by the
people, and governs himself accordingly.

COMPANY.

TNHIS COMPANY IS NOW ONE OF THE
i established institutions of the State. Hav-
ing passed through the day of doubtful exist
ence, it stands on as sure foundation as that of
any similar company in the country. Among
the causes that have largely contributed TO its
success are the following:
First. 1t guarantees all of its policy-holders
the amount OF the cash surrender Of each policy
after two or three annual premiums shall have
been made.
Second 1t loans to its policy-hOlders nine
tenths OF the cash value of each policy for any
period for which the premium may have been
paid.
Third. 1t endorses on each policy the amount
of psid-up insurance that can be had on its sur
render, after the payment of two or three an
nual premiums.
Fourth. Its rates are as low as those of any
other company.
Fifth: Its dividends have been larger than
those of any other company Of its age.
Sixth. Its policies contain 10 unnecessary or
illiberal restrictions.
Seventh. 1t aids in building up our home in
terests, investing its large means here among US,
thereby not draining our State of her life blood.
Eighth. 1t does not require permits to live or
travel anywhere.
Ninth, 1t has over $500 of assets for every
S1.00 of liabilities
