WHILE walking up from the depot,
on Thursday morning, we were accost-
ed by a stranger. just off the train, who
requested to be shown the way to the
tanyard-remarking that he was tan
ner, wanted work, and had been told
there was first class lanyard in this
place. We replied that his informa-
ton was correct, SO far as the fixtures
are concerned, but that the doors were
closed and vacs empty. He then asked
if there was no lanyard in the vicinity
that was in operation. We answered.
none that we knew of. He then re-
marked, you have a HI ola town and
country that can't support lanyard.
Barring the profanity, we could not
conscienciously dissent from an opin-
ion founded upon such oblivious truth
but could not help feeling mortified
that our town so unfayorable impressed
by an entire stranger.

WALL Street has experienced anoth-
er panic this week--the bluest expert
enced on Stock Exchange, for the last
ten years. 1t seems that Vanderbilt
will not come out unscathed this time
There have been several more failures,
which serve to increase the mud
die and enlarge the area of financial
trouble. Notwithstanding repeated
assertions that the worst was over, we
have not believed that the storm is
over. A clear sky where the atmos.
phere is SO saturated with stock -gamb-
ling and other racality, is not the work
of day.

THE Evangelical Alliance, in session
in New York, has developed great
variety of opinions, as well among the
native, as the foreign element in that
body. Unity of all sects, under one
creed is an utterly impossibility so long
as freedom of opinion is tolerated, and
even if all are willing to such unity il
will be equally impossible to agree
upon a creed to which all will willingly
subscribe. Even if such union were
consummated, it could only be held to-
gether by some supreme head clothed
with ample power to punish heresy,
and crush schism with a strong arm.
This would revive, sooner or later, the
horrors of the inquisition, or some Pro-
crustian bed upon which all opinions
would be stretched or curtailed to the
orthodox standard.
There are in that Convention, warm
advocates of union of Church and
State, in this country. Would not
Grant cut figure as the head Of the
Protestant Church Of the United
States2 His piOus habits of horse
training, whiskey drinking, salary-grab-
bling and numerous other christian viz.
tues, commend him highly for such a
position. All these would look love,
ly under his POntifcal robes-wOuld'n nj
they2 And yet the advocates of the
union of Church and State are totally
blind if they do not see in the future
the probability, if not the certainty
that the church will have for 1T
head, men of whom Grant is tn,
prototype. Christ's kingdom is no
of this world, and his Church never
was, and never will be purified nor en-
larged spiritually, by an alliance witt
political institutions.

SENATOR FENToN, of New York, is
of opinion that the next session of
Congress will be largely devoted to in
vestigation, as the people are becoming
anxious to know what has been done
with the money wasted by the admin
istration. The only way the people
can arrive atthe information, is to turn
out the administration and put in men
honest and capable enough to ferret
out the mass of iniquity that has been
steadily accumulating for the last ten
years. IF this be not done, all else is
a farce.

GAINESVILLE. 5: OCT. IS, 1873
TIA. Democratic and Liberal Con-

The Democratic and Liberal Con-
ventions in New York, with two unim-
portant exceptions. nominated the
same State ticket. This is a cheering
singn of the times, and when we look
around and see those who at least, pro-
fess to be friends of an honest, eco
nomical and constitutional government
engaged in a family quarrel, whilst their
common enemy is undermining public
virtue and destroying the government
itself, we can but ask Of what stuff are
such men nader Are their peculiar
views of party organization and their
indurated prejudices and self-import-
ance of more worth than the restora-
ton of popular liberty, the preserva-
ton of national honor and public yir-
tue? They will answer, no to the en-
quiry, with the mental reservation that
these blessings are worthless unless pre-
served by themselves in their own way.
Man is queer animal at best, quick to
learn anything but wisdom, and prone
to indulge every passion save of love Of
country. Let him lead, and he con-
siders himself the whole team, ask him
to follow, and his honor and dignity
are offended, and he will go back upon
his once cherished principles rather
than not appear independent. Ask
him to cooperate for the promotion
of some glorious aim, and his self-im.
portance is shocked at the idea of be-
ing considered the equal, only, of those
who invite his cooperation. If he
can't be first in Rome, catch him play.

Such men may retort upon us, thai

perity and to the consciousness o.

OBEDIENCE to parents, is lesson
that all children should be taught; but
to make that obedience willing trib-
ute to parental authority and for the
child's ultimate good, parents must
learn to impose none but REASONABLE
commands and always accompanied by
unmistakable signs of affection.
Otherwise obedience is an outward re-
cognition of a power not to be resisted,
whilst the manner of its exercise fost-
ers distrust and spirit of rebellion.

JAY COOKE Il Co., are hopelessly
insolvent, and there can be no stronger
argument theineficiency ofthe Nation
al bank system, than that it could not
avert it, or stand up under the failure
of that firm. But the truth is that
the government and the banks are so
thoroughly mixed in with all the cor
rupt rings, that the slightest shock to
one makes all tremble.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is charged with frauds to the ex-
tent sI1 100000, and what is more,
the charges are specifc-no guess work
about it. Can country long prosper
in which there is a ring for the manage
acement of every interest, and
those rings vie with each other as
10 which can steal the most money from
the earnings oflabor and honest indus
try. Labor createsall capital and soft
handed spectators appropriate it TO
their own uses and abuses, and guided
hy no honest convictions, and proof
against shame, pile fraud upon fraud
until the accumulated heap falls with
a crash, from which they escaped with
full pockets, whilst the farmers and
mechanics reap the harvest of ruin.
But what do such facts matter to the
blind followers ofcorrupt leaders whose
highest objects are the accumulation OF
wealth and the usurpation of power,
or the foulness of the means or the
moral, financial, or political desOlation
that results TO, the country at large,
The government officials steal, the rings
steal and the more money they get, the
more they can dazzle the stupid and
the more votes they can buy. The far,
mers and laborers are first robbed Of
their money and the money is used tC
corrupt themselves. Inthisway, Rad
icalism maintains its ascendency max,
ing. each succeeding day. the masses
