may be seen by Il solitary balloonist on
some caucus eve. IIalfa dozen personal
friends and half Il dozen " men about
town " electing delegates, and three or four
hundred farmers seated on the milking
stool thinking how that they ought to have
their say. more than now, in politics and
that the september election must be attend

darkey despised when he went to get bap-

got out, and starting for home, remarked
that some gemman lose Il valuable mig

The Washington correspondent of the

preston is quite general that Vice Presi-

nearly blind in his left eye, and the duties
of presiding officer are such as to agera-

New HannShirC.

james a. Weston was elected Governor
of New Hampshire on the Sd by the legis-
lature, the democrats having a clear ma
jority.
He was inaugurated on Thursday with
the usual formalities and more than usual
display. Ten companies of state militia
and the fire department of Concord gave u
lively appearance to the capital, which
was thronged with visitors from all parts
of the state. Governor Weston read his
message to both branches of the legisla-
ture.
The finances of the state are in sound
condition, showing the revenue for the
year ending May 81, 1874, as follows:
Receipts from state tax.............. s51oooo 90
Receipts from other sources. 1902 "a
O.. Total revenue s7NO6a
1n GFansrs sa 5sss
Total expenses for the year,. 43i4al 50
Excess ofrevenne.. ssJ55IO AZ
This sum is represented BY cash on
hand and by the reduction of the state
debt
The Governor discusses at some length
the subject oftemperance, intimates his be-
lief that entire prohibition is against public
sentiment in New Hampshire, and f;tvors
permissive OF license law of some form.
He says: Laws to be effective must be
il. harmony with public sentiment, but
this principle has in a great degree been
overlooked OF disregarded in our legisla-
ton on the subject of temperance, and the
result has been, and is, that for want of
proper moral support from the public gen.
orally the laws either cannot be or will
not be enforced. Whichever of these may
be the fact, the practical result is the
same.n

An Unmannerly GrOVI.

The Rutland Globe, in II very silly and
ill-advised article, clamoring for an imme-
date call Of the District Convention, takes
occasion to travel out of the record to make
an attack upon several gentlemen who
chance to be honored by the people of the
State with offices of honor and trust. AS
well as to make thrust at one of the most
efficient, impartial and worthy young men
of this section, who, without any solicitation
on his part, was elected chairman of the
District Committee. The Globe says:
The state convention the other district
already called, and will some inform u.s. what is
the reason tor the delay here We know that there

Miss Patterson Monday Night.

M ISIS Patterson M Onday Night.
Miss JEANNE PATTERSON, the young
lady who has elected so many high en-
comiums from the press and people of
the South, and who we announced some
time since would visit Pulaski, will ar
rive here next Saturday evening, and
contemplates entertaining our people
next Monday evening at Antoinette
Hall with readings and ROTATIONS
Miss Patterson is a native of the South,
comes of irreproachable connection, and
i'm her career before the public has not
only sustained herself as a modest, pure
lady, but has won confidence wherever
she has spoken, has elected applause
wherever she has appeared, and stands
confessedly a lady of pre-eminent worth
and talent. She has taken to this as a
means of earning q livelihood for herself
and dependent relatives, but unlike
many who rely wholly upon charity and
give no equivalent for friendly patron
age, she prepared herself under accom-
plisned teachers for her work, and Is
pronounced universally by competent
critics to be superior to many whose
regulations are worldwide, and by some
she is said TO excel her teacher, the re-
nowned Murdoch himself. We have re-
ceivcd numerous cOmmendatory letters
i'm regard to this lady and we feel that
we hazard nothing in presenting her to
this people as all We have cssayed above.
Miss PattersOn's social accomplishments
are as marked as her talent upon the
stage and we hope to see our ladies' Elk
tend to her those civilities she so richly
merits and appreciates. Henry water
son. OF the CORrier-JOurRdt, severely q
critic and well qualified TO judge, says +;
Miss Patterson's first appearance
prepossessed the audience in her favor.
Her voice is under capital management,
flexible aud well modulated. it Is not
sonorous, but what is better, and parIlc-
ularlv what is better suited to her spirit
uelle figure and tender face, it is exceed
inpIv sweet and refined and musical
She has, moreover, a capital conception
of the humorous, and it were difficult to
saw whether she reads Jean Ingelow or
Douglas Jerrold the better. she mas

10 ouR PATRoMs.

We have due US, from patrons scat
tered far and near, many small sums,
which to our individual debtors are but
trifes, but in the aggregate form an
amount which is quite an object to Us,
and which we stand very much in need
of just at this time, and this is so scat
tered over the country that it is impos-
sible for us to call for personally.
Therefore we call upon all who are in
debted TO us to come forward and settle
up at their very earliest convenience.
The year is about closing, and all should
pay up their little debts before the be-
ginning of the new year.
With the new year the law requiring
the postage on papers outside of the
county to be paid in advance goes into
effect, and we can not afford to furnish
the paper to non-paying subscribers, and
also pay the postage on it. We will be
compelled to discontinue all papers,
after the 1st of January, upon which
the subscription price and the postage
have not been paid.
Those who desire to subscribe for the
COurier-Journal, in connection with our
paper, must do so before the lst of jan
uary. We will furnish the two papers,
postage paid, in this county, Tor SO: 40,
out of the county, So: 80.

Ex-President johnson says he never
was a Republican, but was always a con-
stitutiOnal Democrat. We shall not
quarrel with him about his political
faith, but beg leave to say that we can
see ne legitimate connection between
his prOfessed faith and his recorded acts,
If he carried out democratic doctrines
as military Governor of Tennessee, he
may be Democrat still, but d-n such
Democracy-we want none of it in ourn
there is already, too much OF it in the
Senate and ali other departments of the
government. Was it Democratic to try
an innocent and defenceless woman by
court-martial when the civil courts
were open? Mr.. JOhnsOn's followers
will, of course, judge his future by his
past, and il his Democracy is theirs,
they are well mated and, for the good of
the State, ought to pair off TO themselves.
Mr.. johnson claims that he ought to
be elected to the Senate because he is
thoroughly familiar with the corruption
and trickery of the Radical leaders. II
he is not posted, he learned little in years
of close communion; and because of
that knowledge, so obtained, Democracy
would dishOnor itself by honoring him
give the lie 20 their boosted creed by
endorsing his acts during and since the
war-among them, the imprisonment of
clergymen and distinguished civilians
because their opinions were not his. A
tyrant in time OF war, is not likely to be
patriotic statesman in time OF peace,
unless by Stimulating that character, he
can crafty his ambition or his avarice.
We admit his ability, and for that rea-
son, consider him the more dangerous.
True greatness is inseparable from q
constant effort 10 do good IarksUille

wit:

of our order is TO secure justice to our
selves by an honorable opposition to all
unlawful attempts to rob us of our
rights, and
Whereas, 1t is believed by us that

thence West over the st. Louis, Kansas City
and Northern Short Line, which reaches all
the great land grants in the west, and rams
six fast Express trains, two more than any
other road between the Mississippi and the
Missouri MYERS. This road, in the last two
years, has expended over two million dollars,
besides earnings, in extraordinary improve

MIR. MCCORD You state in the CITI-
ZEN of the 26th inst. that you can have
no controversy with your correspondent
). You will please accept my thanks
for this kindness. In the light OF such
an expression l am embroidered to beg
you will do me the further favor of as
surfing the joint stock company of scrib-
blers, who appear in your columns
after having run all the way to Mem
plIis to seek a pretext of controversy
with me, that the ignOminiOus faIsehood
with which they publicly cover their
retreat, from their absurd intrusion,
render them unworthy of even a wo-
mans scOrn. They assert they were
ignorant OF my 'sex and identity" when
they made their concerted attack from
the dark. They knew me well,-as l
can prOve,-and the first physician of
Giles county, in vain warned them of
their injustice and folly.
The only excuse they offer for their
interference, would be amusing, were
it not so contemplate. / had dared to
write a perfectly inOffensive, and i'm
personal article, "from the home of John
G. Brown" l would remind them, it is
the home of many others also, who
have most provoking and independent
way of thinking, as the majority recOr-
ded against their favorite, amply tes-
titles.
l condole with this hero, for he may
well exclaim with the Spaniard, "Save
me from my friends,-frem my enemies,
I can save myself" Certainly not on
such leaden, bat-like wings as they offer,
does the Phoenix arise.
Though not a citizen by the laws-nor
what some regard as better,-a voter
as human creature, and good enough
subject for taxation, claim the right to
have preferences, and do not wish them
wilfully mistaken.
My sense of gratitude, makes me the
well-wisher of President johnson. |
have not forgotten, though others may,
the scene at indianapolis, when johnson
bore alone, the hOOting and execration
of the madened populace. Why did
they boot? Because he had vetoed
again and again, the infamous legisla-
ton of fanatics, against the South.
have not forgotten though others may,
the outrage and humiliation of the I'm
peachment-trial. And why was he i'm
peached? Because his thousands of
pardOns to Southern people, were rap
idly placing the elective franchise again
into their hands.

they would know that to produce a mis-
conception as to the words of another,
is regarded as a misquotation, whether
inverted commas are used to perpetrate
the fraud or not.
leave to the contempt it deserves, the
unfair effort to disaim me with pre-
tended apOlOgy,-and at the same time
bring up fresh points of attack, entirely
different from those under dispute.
In conclusion, l must acknowledge
that these Boanerges-these "sOns OF
thunder" who keep concealed behind
the massive block of the CITIZEN office
have suggested to me by one OF their al
lusions, the possibility, that they would
have been far more capable of appreci-
ating the "w2rE on the heel" of COufI-
cius, than of understanding the phitoSo-
ply that occupied the head of the noble
old pagan. q S.
