THE largest, finest, best and incest
stock of Goods was brought to this
town BY Cheap John, from New York
and Philadelphia, that has come here
for long time, and at such low prices
that it astonishes every person how he
can stand 1t; but the way he does is,
be buys his Goods from the manufac-
turers and importers, and buys every
thing for cash, and thus saves from %
to 90 per cent, which enables him to
sell Goods % TO 80 Fer cent. lower
than any other person. Therefore any
body that needs anything whatever IN
his line will save money by buying il at

The habit of hanging mackeral on
nail near the door to drip broke up a
match on Essex street On W ednesday
night. The couple got home late in the
evening, and. going around back of the
house; so as not to disturb the folks,
they sat down on the stoop to think.
During the process she leaned her head,
in new spring hat, against the house,
and became absorbed IA the stars and
other improvements, while he tenderly
eyed his boots. About half an hour
was spent in this profitable occupation.

his eyes rested on en- oozy substance
tack of her head. "What's that on

jumped up at this interrogation, and in
stinctively placing her hand on the
back cf her head, drew it awaS again
full of an unp!easantly favored slime.
With shrek Of rage and passion the
infuriated girl tore the maekeral from
the nail, and trampled it beneath her
feet, while she snatched off her hat and
tore it into shreds with her livid fingers.
The horror-stricken young man, not

The Red River Outbreak.

The Shreveport (La.) Tinscs of the 9th inst,
gives full and accurate report OF the Coushat,
ta outbreak, which gives the lie to the sarblcd
and distorted accounts of that affair which
have been so industriousy circulated by the
nartisan press. The facts, as substantlated by
q hundred reliable witnesses are briefly these
The parish of Red River was formed under the
Yarmouth regime in 1871 out of several sur
rounding parishes and the real purpose OF Its
formation was to furnish new field for plum
der for the rogues who filled all the offices in
the State The elder Twtchell and Devices
had made handsome fortune from the per
ouisites of the offices of the parish, and had
vacated in favor of the younger Twitchcll and
Devices, who were fast growing rich from pub
lie plundcr The troubles were first started by
the officc-holdcrs who conceived dlabollcal
plot to get the negroes to attack and murder
the whites, hoping thereby to secure the pres
ence of Federal troops. The population of the
parish consists of LOO negroes and three hum
dred whites. The discovery of this plot led
to the arrest Of Twitchell, Devices and the
other ring leaders of the plot, who were
placed in iai &c await their trial. In the
meantime the shooting of Mr.. j. B. Dixon, a
white citizen, and the report OF the plot had
spread to the adjoining parishes, and num-
berS OF armed cltlzenS were pouring lhIO Iile
parish. The prisoners in Coushatta became
alarmed at the storm of Indignation which
their treachcry had provoked, and offered OF
their own accord to vacate their offices and leave
the State if the people would guard them to
Shreveport, where they could take the cars;
Their proposition was accepted. They selected
their own guard and commander, and route OF
travel, and left Coushatta on Sunday morning
At a distance of thirty-hve miles from Coushat-
ia, they were met by one hundred armed men,
who oycrpowered the guard and shot the prIs-
oncrs. Who these men were or where they
came from the guard could not ascertain, but
they are confident that they were not from Red
River Parish This is the plain, unvarnished
story of the dreadful affair." and it is corrobora-
ted in every particular by the Coushatta Tmes,
a Republican paper published in Red River
Parish.

Curing Pea Vines.

The common field pea has been styled the
clover of the South. It well merits the title.
In fact, where both succeed perfectly, We are
not sure that the pea is not most valuable OF
the two. AS we have often remarked, there is
no crop that can be raised On the light soils of
the Southern States that, with the same labor,
will yield so large return as the field pea,
when grown for its fruit alone. In addition to
this, the best timothy and clover hay does not,
in our estimation, equal good pea-vne hay for
either working stock or milk cows. How fool
ish the regret, therefore, that we cannot raise
the clover in perfection where the field pea
grows so we'll. There is but one drawback to
the production of pea-vine hay, the difficulty
of properly curing it. But even in this there
is not so much labor and trouble as is generally
imagined.
The vines should be cut during settled, dry
weather, if possible, and only cut in the morn
ing. In the evening of the same day they
should be rolled up into little heaps of perhaps
hundred pounds each. Thus they are to re-
main until the second morning thereafter, or
the third after being cut, when they should be
"haued ia" and stored loosely as possible in
freely ventilated loft or crib. A still better
house for them is one made of rails with the
rail floor at least two feet from the ground.
Upon this floor throw the vines loosely to the
depth of two feet; then put in another floor,
then another two feet of vines, and so on till
your crop is stored. After the first, each floor
should press lightly upon the vines below; thus
in settling will give plenty of room for cir
culation of air above and below them, thus
preventing all danger from heat or n,ildew.
Thus stored, each chamber of the pen can be
emptied without interfering at all with the 9TH
ers, simply by slipping out two or three rails
from one side Of course the pen must be Sc
curely covered, the sides will need no protec-
ton other than the rails. This is no book
farming fancy, but real practice that in our
farming days suited US so we'll both in the sav,
wing of pea vine and potato vine nay that we haa m
ways to cure "pea vines" In our travels
through the rural districts next fall we hope to
see these extemporized happens as common as
rail cotton-pens used to be in the old time

and that the political organization which at
tempts to force this state of things upon the
country or any section of it, will meet with
overwhelming defeat in every ISSUE
I have no hesitation, therefore, in agreeing
with you that the passage by Congress OF the
civil rights bill would inaugurate ieehng OF
antagonism between the white and black races
that could never be reconciled, and IN saying
most unequivocably that no Southern gentle

oencies which can avert the evil ore is the
Overwhelming defeat of the republican party,
in the elections this fall upon this issue. They
are determined to make the issue, as already
announced by some of their leaders upon the
stumn: and nv sincere hope is, that every
State. county, city, town, village and hamlet,
throughout the entire Union where an election
NAV be held, will give the democratic. party an
overwhelming majority. To this end, l shall
cheerfully contribute my humble mite. This
would check the passage of this most iniqultous
measure, and relieve the country OF the horrors
consequent upon its passage.
If this should fail, and [ trust it may not,
the only remaining hope is in the exercise OF
the veto power by the President of the United
States. iknow nothing Of the intentions of the
President onthis question; but trust sense
of patriotic duty may compel him, if the meas
ure should ever come before him for action, to
save the country from anarchy and ruin, by
the use of this great conservative power, which
is wisely placed in his hands, by the constltu'
ton.
If it should come to that point, and General
Grant should veto the measure, and throw the
vast weight of his executive power and person

he would be entitled to, and | believe would
receive the thanks and the applause of the en-
tire white populationof the South, and OF

Office. Seeking and CanYassing for Nomlna'
tiOnS.

One of the worst signs of these degenerate
times is the trickery and wire-working of men
seeking Office, and the hungry greed which
men pretending to be high-toned and honora-
BILE will display in their efforts to gain power
and position. Not only demoralized them
selves III a wild hunt for Office, these men exert
a bad influence upon society in general by in
flaming bad passions and creating unfounded
prejudices against their opponents. The Char
lottesville Jefsrsonian, alluding to the charac-
teristics of these modern intriguers, suggests
certain reforms which would be creditabe to
any people to adopt. We quote as follows
from our Virginia contemporary:
This practice is novelty to us in Virginia,
and comes to us as one of the bitter fruits OF
the war. When it first made its appearance IN
this State, gentlemen OF high standing, VINO
scorned to do an indeicate thing without prop
er consideration, reluctantly yielded to what
thev supposed the necessity of the times, and
did canvass for nominations. 1t took but d
brief experience to satisfy them and all the
right.thinking men of the great evil OF such
practice, and these gentlemen have been among
the most prompt and decided to condemn it..
We wish distinctly to disclaim any purpose Of
applying to them anythng that We R have aSl sad
the Subject has been calmly considered and
discussed, and the great evils clearly pointed
out, we do most earnestly desire to see public
opinion intensely concentrated against this
humiliating, demoralizing and pernicious prac-
tice. If public opinion does not frown down
such thing, every man of real ability and
self-respect will be deferred from permitting
his name to be used as candidate for office,
and we will be doomed to representation BY
small, narrow, cunning, selfish little mon of
blunted sensbilities and obtuse moral percep-
tions, and the administration of our public
affairs will tend rapidly to corruption and ex-
travagance. Men of ability and solid worth
will not consent to go around on exhibition as
political organ grinders, razor strop men, show
ing off themselves and their political wares to
the criticizing gaze of the multitude, in order
to be nominated to canvass for al office. 1t is
far too difficult now to get such men to consent
to. become candidates for Office. They will
never consent if they have to canvass tor the
nomination and then canvass for the office.

A SENSIBLE SpEEcH-In the Republican
caucus held in Columbia during the sitting of
the State Convention, sensible speech was
delivered by Mai. NJ. R. Delaney, a genuine
representative of the 'colored race, which de-
serves careful consideration at the hands of
the colored man. We give brief synopsis OF
his remarks:
He sets out by saying that he never made
speech unless he had something to say, and
that he knew what he had to say on this occa-
sion would not be acceptable to all present:
He then supplemented this remark by a broad
hint that he didn't care a cent whether 1t was
acceptable or not He intended to talk to his
own race, to look men in the face, and to call
things by the right name The black man mi! mad
been purposely misled by the white politicians
for selfish and interested motives. He warned
the black men that, if they didn't. stop in the
course that they had beed led to pursue, they
would be deprived of all the political privileges
which they now enjoyed. The colored people
in South Carolina had a great and important
duty to perform. And the most important
duty that they owed was to the white people
of the State who were not in the Republican
party. The whites had the education, owned
the land, and had the capital. The black man
owned the labor, and it was easy to see that 1t
was the interest of both races to 60 hand and
hand together This might not be called
orthodox Republicanisnl, but 1t was SOUND
political economy. He urged the black men
to take this matter into serious consideration.
The Democrats, he said, were accustomed to
regard the term Republican as a bugaboo, and
the Republicans, on the other hand had been
taught to be frightened at the mention of the
word Democrat 1t WAS all mistake. Demo-
cracy and Repubicanism were synonymous
terms beth meant the right of the people to
rule. The slaves were set at liberty by Demo
cratic teachings. He warned the negroes OF the
mistakes that they had made, and impressed
upon them the fact that they had nothing to
hope from Grant unless they mended their
ways and quit the evil practices that they ma had
been led into by designing politicians. they
need not be misled into the belief that Grant,
who was a white man, loved the black men
better than he loved his own race. war of
races could only result in the determination
of the black race He called their attention
to the recent enactments of Congress fixing an
educational qualification for jurors in the
United States Court and to the failure of the
civil rights bill These were significant facts
he said, and all pointed to the fact that unless
the black race changed their course all their
political rights would eventually be curta'led.
1t was not sufficient excuse that they were
mised by men of another race who knew bet
ter.

The "Outrages Committee"

The following resolution was adopted by the
State Tax Union:
Whereas, to our great surprise, a communi-
cation of President Grant to the Attorney-Gen-
eral, of date I'd September, Instant contains
the following declaration: "The recent atroci-
ties IN Alabama, Louisiana and South Carolina,
show disregard for law, civil rights, and per-
sonal protection, that ought not to be tolerated
in any civilized government; and, Whereas we
are confident that the information conveyed to
the President regarding these alleged atroci-
ties in South Carolina is not true. Be it
Resolved, That one delegate from each Coun-
ty be selected by the President of this Union,
to inquire what atrocities of the above nature,
if any, have been recently committed in this
State, and if any, in what section and by what
class of persons; and that said delegates report
without delay the result of their Investigations
to the Executive Committee OF the State Union:

A Touch OF SENTIMENT.-Mrs. Oliphant,
in her recent novel, "For Love and Life"
shows her boundless sympathy with all the
griefs that parents suffer from the selfwill and
the wrong doing of children; and she touches
one sorrow that is often borne but seldom con-
fessed, when she writes: "Many volume has
been written about the love of parents, the love
of mothers, its enthusiasms of hope and fancy,
its alterations of the unworthy, its agony Tor
the lost; but do not remember that any one
has ventured to touch upon still more terri
BILE view of the subject-the disappointment,
for example, with which such woman as
have attempted to set before the reader-a wo-
man full of high aspirations, noble generosl:,
ties, and perhaps an unwarrantabe personal
pride, all intensified by the homely circum-
stances of life around her-sometimcs looks
upon the absolutely commonplace people
whom she has brought into the world. She,
too has her dreams about them while they
were children, and all things seemed possible
while they were youths, with still some grace
and freshness of the morning yelling their un-
heroic outlines. But woman of seventy can
cherish no fond delusions about her middle
aced sons and daughters, who are, to all in
tents and purposes, as old as she is. What
dismal sense of failure must come into such a
woman's heart while she looks at them! Per

UNITED STATES TROOPS IN SOUTH CAR
o1JNA-Undcr the instructions of the Attor-
ney General, troops are in process of distribu-
ton to various points in South Carolina
Wherefore ? The blacks are in complete pos
session of the State and the government. All
the powers of the State are in their hands
the State, against three hundred thousand
whites. Why, then, these troops to maintain
order in South Carolina? 1t is because the
poor blacks are proved utterly incompetent to
govern themselves in undertaking TO govern
the Whites and consequently need the presence
of the Uuited States Army to hold them to
law and order? If so, and we fear it is so, why
not let the truth be officially made known.-N
