In respect to the candidacy Of
Governor Hendricks, of Indiana,
for the Presidency, the New York
Republic is kind enough to say
ssHendricks can not be elected,
but still he wants the nomination,
and if Pendleton and Allen are
willing, he ought to have it."

Concerning the prospect of new
party arising in the near future,
Harper's Weekly says:
How many Democrats are likely
to leave their party to help form
new one? and how many Republi.
cans, having seen their party will
ing to defeat obnoxious candidates,
however regularly nominated, feel
that it is necessary to form a new
organization? There will be no new
party, and the President in 1876
will be chosen either by the Repub-
leans or the Democrats.

THREATENING THE CHANGERS.


An article is going the rounds of the
press, Illuminating threats of destruc-
ton against the Oranges. As a mat
ter of course, the threat comes from the
eastern rings and monopoies which
hope TO intimidate the Patrons of Hus-
bandTy, and IN order to raise up domes-
tic enemies, they-the rings-propose
to cease all business with merchants
and other traders in the sections where
Changers abound. This noisy assump-
ton of brayado, only serves to betray
their fears and their consciousness of
the magnitude of the movement against
their stongholds of corruption. They
greatly mistake, however, the character
and strength of the Oranges if they ex-
pect to brighten them from their pur-
pose by such idle buster. On the con-
trary, the effect will be to multiply the
members Of the Order and inspire them
with renewed zeal md energy to win
the victory already assured. mo step
backwards" is their motto.

MArRIMONY MADE EASY.

A recent New York letter says:
We have often wondered how it is
that the young bank clerk or newly ad-
mitted lawyer has always a convenient
two or three hundred dollars wherewith
to purchase the all-important engage
ment ring. 1t is very often the case
that the engagement is made at the
time when his finances are at the low
est ebb, but that does not prevent the
necessary diamond from forthcoming.
We were let into the secret the other
day. Pray, do not whisper 1.-THE
truth is that Charles Augustus pays
for his betrothal ring by installments
If he is known TO any member of the
firm of which he desires to make his
purchase, or to a reliable clerk, he pays
down S25, and then pays the balance In
lnstallments of the same amount each
month. We are told that this is quite
a common practice, and among the
best houses. And why not? If Charles
Augustus did not make some little ar
rangement Of this sort, how often Ara
bella would be put off with no ring at
all; and what is the use of being en-
gagged if one has not solitaire to flash
In the face Of the discarded Frederick?

HE LOOKED GUILTY.

Columbia, :. c, COZ. Of ihC Cincinnati Com
muTciai
a lawyer from Chester, a heavy ne
gro county, gives me many incidents
illustrating the Africans judicial ca
paciUy. Not long since a negro offend
er was brought before q. negro Trial
Justice. The prisoners offense was,
in fact, no offensc at all, and it was
only ont of malice that he was arrest
ed. a white mana most respectable
farmer-had given him some cotton
seed, and he had taken 1t without
thought but what the title was good.
But another negro claimed the cotton
seed, and had daTkey No. l arrested
for stealing. The Trial Justice heard
the testimony and sentenced the poor
negro TO ten days Imprisonment and
twenty dollars fine, although there was
not a particle of testimony upon which
he could reasonably base a conviction.
1t happened that Circuit Court was IN
session, and the Justice was informed
that an innocent man was in jail. He
had the Justice before him IN court,
and inquired for the testimony, which
the law declares shall be reduced TO
writing.
Il hain't got any" said the black
Justice. Il don't do no writing in my
court. l keeps it all in my head"
What testimony did you have
against this mani" demanded the
Judge.
He could not give any.
Then why did you convict him:
the Judge asked.
cause, sab, l noticed him close,
and he looked guilty"
"You convicted him, then, on his
looks, and not on the evidence"
Yes, sab, he looked guilty, and
found him guilty"
The black judicial officer was there
upon given some wholesome advice as
TO how to conduct his court" and de-
parted with bow and Yes, sab
| asked the lawyer as to other Ches-
ter county officials. He informed me
that the county was represented in the
Legislature by three members, all ne
groes. One Of them was a preacher,
whose peculiarly was that he would
never take more for his vote than ten
dollars. He did not thinkit was wrong
to sell his vote, provided he did not ex.
act an exorbitant price. Ten dollars
be conceived to be the fair figure

Gold opened at 1893, declined to 1921

hold at 1929.

Tennessee bonds are a fraction better,
