Attention, Former Slave Owners.

We would respectfully suggest to all
former slave owners to preserve a cor
rect list of their slaves, and have their
names recorded in the Clerks office of
their respective counties This will re-
qure but little trouble and expense, and
a day may come when a nations return
ing sense Of justice might make this a
wise, present precaution. Stran ger
things than the payment, by the general
government for our emancipated slaves,
has happened, and improbable as it may
seem yet it may be. Let the record be
made. 1t may serve as a contribution to
history, if not step towards securing z
our just and correct deserts.
We take the above from the North East
Georgian, published at Athens, Georgia.
The suggestion contained in the above
extract is an indication of what may be
expected from the Democracy, should it
ever again come into power 1t will be
seen that the hope of the Democracy is
that the general government will pay for
the emancipated slaves. Or, in other
words, that all the people in the United
States are to be taxed, including the late
slaves themselves, to pay the robber for
taking from him that to which he had no
right and restoring it to the proper
owner.
If the general government has any
money to invest on account of slavery,
it could not use it more justly than in
eXpending it for the advancement of the
late slaves and not for the benefit OF the
shareholders who, for centuries have rev.
elled-under the protection of the gov
ernment-in the fruits of the unpaid
toll of the negro.
Our people in the South are struggling
hard to overcome the disadvantages un-
der which they labor. because OF their
former condition as slaves. Those who
are fortunate enough to be able to save
little money above their daily wants, are
endeavoring to educate their children so
that the main dsadvantage-ign
may be overcome. To do this, the fl
nancial resources of the negro, in most
cases, are taxed to their utmost limit,
and this is an endeavor to qualify them
selves for enterprising and useful citizen
ship.
Our people throughout the South will
do we'll 10 reflect seriously on such sug
gestions as the above from the Georgian,
as they surely indicate the ideas and
policy Of the Democratic party, as does
the vane the direction of the winds

General Howard.

There have been for long time sto-
riea in circulation preiudicial to General
Howard, late of the Freedmen's Bureau.
He was brave and conspicuous soldier
of the war, he had been eminent in the
work of the freedmen and he was a
member OF the church. To blacken his
name. therefore, was to stigmatize sew
eral good things, and the dirty work has
been zealously prosecuted in what were
known when General Howard was lead
ing an army corps and losing an arm as
Copperhead' circles, his chief opponent
being Fernando Wood. Some time since
the Secretary of War sent certain state
ments to the House of Representatives,
and n court martial was ordered, upon
charges involving General Howard's per
sonal and official character. The court
has sent its decision to the President,
and as it is known to be favorable, the
expiring effort OF malice was to insinuate
that there were serious differences OF
judgement in the court. But the coun-
sci of Gen. Howard telegraphed to Mr..
Edgar Ketchum that the court was
unanimous upon the statement OF facts
also upon all matters affecting his char
aoter as an officer and gentleman, and
also in commencing his conduct as Com
missioner-a deci .iol which will be cor
daily welcomed by tho countrywide
INaV Roskty.

Buying Enemies at the Price of Friends.

The fact that Mosby, the chief of the
guerillas and still an enemy of the gov
eminent is permitted free access to the
floor of the House and Senate while
equally prominent, brave and able Union
officers are invariably denied that privi-
lege, has excited considerable indignant
comment. And no wonder. Such dis
elimination in favor of rebels against
all union officers, is gross insult to the
latter. But it seems to be in character
with the course of Congress, our courts,
and rulers have adopted toward rebels
in TOO many cases. 1t is beginning to
be understood that rebel applicants for
offices and rebel claimants for damages
stand quite as good a chance always for
consideration as loyal men, and some
times a much better one. Our rulers
seem to consider that it is necessary to
conciliate our opponents by favoring
them in all possible ways in order thus
to siren gthen the administration. They
seem to think Republicans will stand by
them any how, no matter how much
they may be sighted. But they are
making grand mistake. The party
that stands by its friends through thick
and thin will be sure to maintain its as
tendency. The party that forgets in
desire to win enemies is sure to go into
hopeless minority. They lose ten
friends for every one made in that way.

unknown to the Professor, have just en-
tered the class.
What is your name, sir ?" asked the
Professor, looking through his specta-
cles.
You are brick" was the startling
reply.
''Sir," said the Professor, half starting
out of his chair at the supposed imperti-
nence:
Sir, did not exactly understand
your answer"
You are brick" was again the COM
posed reply.
This is intolerable," said the Profes-
sor, his face reddening, Beware young
man, how you attempt to insult me-
Insult you p said the student, in turn
astonished. "How have | done it

Wouldn't Come Out Even.

Landlord said transient guest at a
crossroads tavern, as he drew near the
end of his dinner, Wont you give me a
little more pork to eat with this potato 2"
A little later he said There was
more pork than he wanted; let me
trouble you for a little more potato to
eat with the pork.
A short time after: WELL 1 declare,
I've got some more potato left. and it
seems pity to leave it-just small
piece of pork, if you please.
1t ran on so for some time. At length
the landlord stopped short in front of
his guest, and remarked:
Look here, stranger 'taint no use
I'm willing to do anything in reason to
make that pork and potato come out
even, but I've made up my mind. the
way you eat, it can't be did. You re
bound to lap over on one or the other

mind which you d rather leave, and leave
it and quit. I've got enough pork and
potatoes, but if you keep on you'll

In looking over each week the immense
number of our weekly exchanges from
every part of the United States, we al
ways feel pride in the weeklies in our
state, While many well-edited, hand
some newspapers are received from other
States, some few perhaps larger and more
pretentious than any of ours, yet upon
the whole in point of ability, variety,
enterprise mechanical appearance, and
everything that goes to make the first
class country weekly, Ohio is in our
opinion far ahead of any other State.
This speaks well for the general distribu-
ton of intelligence and education over
the State and shows that newspaper
ability and influence is not oontied in
Ohio to the journals of its large cities
simply, as in many other States, and that
the rural press has a voice of its own,
aside from the influence of the metropo-
Titan press Cincinnati Times.

REaARKABLE ATTRACTIoN-A Massa-
chusetts farmer says: My cattle will
follow me until leave the lot, and on
the way to the barn yard in the evening
stop and call for a look Of hay"
Smithson says there is nothing re-
markable in that. We went into q barn
yard in the country.one day last week.
where he had not the acquaintance OF
the cattle, and the old bull not only fol
lowed him until he lett the lot, but took
the gate off the hinges and raced with
him to the house in the most familiar
manner possible. Smithson says he has
no doubt that the old fellow would have
call ed for something if he had waited II
little while, but he didn't want to keep
the folks waiting dinner SO he hung one
tail OF his coat and piece of his pants
on the bulls horns, and went into the
house.

Christmas Cribs.

The pious custom of celebrating our
Lords birth by tableau made up of the
Divine Infant, the Blessed Virgin, st.
Joseph, the OK. ass, stall, the shepherds
and Hocks, angels, Msgi, etc., now common
IN 80 many countries, was originated by
st. Francis of Assist. He obtained in the
year 1923 from friend of his, John Veleta,
lord Of the village of Grecio near Rieti in
Italy, the necessary materials to make
such a representation. Then the saint
went to work with his brethren, and they
soon brought the scene into shape, having
the loan, too, of n live OK and ass. which
kind of animals tradition founded upon a
passage of the prophecy of Isaias ii. 81 says
were present at the stable at Bethlehem
when Jesus was born, and warmed him
with their breath. A midnight Mass was
sung, st Fraucis acting as deacon, while
the friars and peasants knelt or stood
around under the trees, from whose branches
were suspended number of lamps that
shed dim and religious light upon the
assemblage.
The most beautiful crib of this descrip.
ton in the United States was made few
years ago at Rome for the college of the
Jesuits in San Francisco, Cal. 1t cost
tied privately in the scene room of the
Teatro Argentina before being packed for
America. Sumo of the cribs in the chur-
ches ct Rome at Christmas time are mag
nihcent, the figures being often life size,
and all the surroundings (which occupy o
whole side chapel) artIstically prepared on
scale ofprincely magnificence. The Que
in the Church of Ara Coel ON the Capitol
Hill is perhaps the finest ia point of size
and execution; hut the most charming
one is on the top of the ancient feudal tower
in Trastevero, once belonging to the family
of the counts of Auguillara, and situated in
the neighborhood of the first Franciscan
convent church (now San francesca ripa)
in Rome, of which Rudolph, Count of Arg,
was distinguished benefactor in 1881. The
peculiar attractions of this crib are its ma
tural and rustic appearance, and the var
ious perspectives and views toward the
mountain and over the Campagna in every
direction, arranged to suit the different
scenes of Mary and Joseph journeying to
Bethlehem, the Infant laid in the manger,
the shepherds tending their focks by night,
the angels appearing to them, the distant
but approaching Wise Men from the East,
etc. On Epiphany day some of the figures
are usually changed to suit the arrival and
offerings of the Magians and their suite.
