A. II. STEPHENs'S VIEws-HE DEPRECATEs
Acrs OF VIoLENCE.-A correspondent Of the
New York Tribune, who rode in the cars on
Wednesday last from Crawfordyile 10
Greensboro, Ga, telegraphed that journal
as follows:
"The news from Louisiana was, of course,
the principal topic Of conversation. Being
asked his opinion on the Penn coup d'etat,
Dir. Stephens said it was but another pre-
sentation of the old and ever recurring cues.
ton Of States rights, or local self.goVern-
ment. He deprecated resort to violence,
whatever the people Of the South might Suf-
fer from misrule but since Louisiana had
resorted to such means, he was glad to hear
that the victory was comparatively blood
less. While the citizens Of that State must
command sympathy IN their misforsunes,
they should be allowed to fight their own
batte, as they were doubtless able to do.
There is no necessity of profers of aid from
other southern States, aud those who fool
ishly talk OF stopping the passage of United
States troops en- route to New Orleans re-
mind him Of the minute men of 1861, who
became the home guard Of latter years of
the war. He thought General Grant would
not interfere unnecessarily, and incidentally
remarked that he believed Grant 10 be more
cordially hated. by the Radical politicians
than any other man in the North to-day: He
did not look upon the struggle in Louisiana
as in any sense war Of races, and hoped it
would not In any event assume that phase"

Arkansas VS.. Louisiana.

How hard it is to direst ourselves of pre-.
judice. In the Arkansas case Brooks by
some means had got possession of the State
government. BAXTER was the de .fdcto Gov.
ernor. Brooks was just as certainly the true
Governor of that State as is McENERY OF
Louisiana. But the forms of law required
BAXrER's restoration. and restored he was,
and we of the South applauded GRANT for
the act.
But the question does not seem to be set.
tied vet. In the Republican State CONVEX.
ton of Arkansas, held this week, resolu'
tons were passed as follows:
"They pledge fidelity to the Republican
party, deny the authority of Elisha Baxter
to act as Governor, and assert that Brooks is
the legal executive; that all the acts Of BaX'
ter since the decision OF the Circuit Court 10
favor Of Brooks are null and void; that all
acts of the Constitutional Convention and
the Legislature that called it are null and
void that the thanks of the party are due
to the soldiers that supported Brooks"
The McEneryites take the same ground in
Louisiana. The New Orleans correspon-
dent Of the New York tribune telegraphs as
follows:
"The policy adopted by the new Govern
ment appears to be to treat all the acts passed
by the recognized Kellogg Legislature for the
past two years as absolutely null and void
and all the suits decided by the courts crea-
ted by that Legislature also null and vold.'
GRANT sustains the de facto Government
in both States. Let US do him the justice to
remember this fact.

VIcE-PREsIDESr WILSON on THE Till

VIcE-PREsIDEsr WILSON on THE THIRD
TERM.-The New York Tribune says:
After brief general conversation, Captain
Goddard asked: MIR. Vice-PreSident, how is
it about this third-term business? May | ask
what you think about it?"
Mr.. Wilson said 81 dou't believe Gene
raj Grant is fool enough to entertain even a
moments thought about renominatioD."
.But," replied Captain Goddard, I" don't
understand it in that way at all. I have in
formation from perfectly trustworthy sources
that General Grant is anticipating and intent
on athird term"
Mr.. Wilson thought it could not be pos
sible. He added "lf 1t should be so, how
ever; il General Grant should succeed IN
getting denomination, it would split the
Republican party right square in the MID
die, and one.hslf of it would vote in BODY
for the yeriest rebel in the SO nth before they
would favor or recognize the third-tern
principle"
Just so.. And that would be the salvation
OF the country. Split the Republican party
get the negro question out of politics. ant
ali will be well. BY all means let us aid il
the good work.

The Third Term.

The unfortunate troubles in Louisiana have
increased General GRANTS prospects greatly
as third.termer, but on the wrong side
They have strengthened him exceedingly
with. the Republican party.
We have, however, no regrets to express
for any thing that we have said on this sub
iert. We foresaw that the South would not
soon come into power unless she could do
SO by making terms mo pun intended) with
General GRANT. If the southern papers, or
half of them, had united with us in this un-
dertaking, General GRANT would not have
"gone back on US in this Louisiana affair
1t is possible-not even yet is it probable
that we may have to take GRANT for another
term, but it will be as an enemy, not as a
friend as we would fain have had him.

Ii the civil.rights bill be passed, we can
now plainly see what the result will be-
namely, civil war in the South, military
despotism all over the country, GRANT Pre-
sident not for the third term only but for
life, and the empire. The ciyil.rishts bill is
the steed upon which the man-on. horseback
may show himself and ride into power. If
we could get rid of the ciyiI.rights bill by
taking GRANT for third term, 1t would be
much better Of course. But the opportunity
has passed, we fear. The third term will
eometo GRANT il at all from the friends of

The Popular Science Monthly for October
has come to hand. It contains the whole of
Professor TyNDALL's recent famous address
and OF Professor HuxLEY's paper Are Ami
mails Automata ?" besides an unusual mum.
Der of excellent articles on various interest
ing subjects. The following extract from
Professor TYNDALL's address Is worthy OF
particular attention.:
"The principles enunciated by Democritus
reveal bis uncompronsing antagonism to
those who deduced the phenomena Of Nature
from the caprices of the gods. They are
briefly these: l. From nothing comes no.
thing. Nothing that exists can be destroyed.
all changes are due to the combination and
separation of molecules. 2. Nothing hap.
pens by chance. Every occurrence has its
cause from which it follows by necessity.
8. The only existing things are the atoms
and empty space; all else is mere opinion.
T. The atoms are infinite in number, aud in
finitev various in form; they strike to-
gether, and the lateral motions and whirlpgs
which thus arise are the beginnings of worlds
s. The varieties of all things depend upon
the varieties of their atoms, in number, size
and aggregation. Thus the atoms
of Democritus are individually without SEN
satior; they combine in obedience to mechani-
cal laws and not only organic forms, but the
phenomena of sensation and thought, are
also the result Of their combination
If that isn't the theory Of the modern
scientists of the materiaistic school, we are
greatly in error. Indeed, threads to us as il it
might be TYNDALL's own creed, though it is
over two thousand years old.
The Monthly touches everyday matters
too. Read the following:
"Do Dogs Persp1re Pit is frequently
urged as an argument against the ordinary
method of muzziug dogs that it closes the
mouth, and thereby prevents perspiration,
which in the dog is said to take place only
through the mouth. This, according to Land
and Water, is an error; Precipitation going
on through the skin as in other animals. The
idea of respiratory glands in the tongue is
characterized as absurd, these organs being
only found in the Gos's skin, which is album
dainty supplied with them. The real cruelty
of the close or strap. muzzle is that it binders
free respiration rather than free perspra-
ton"

ENTERTAINMENT AT THE CoURTHoUsE-A FIGHT
VARIOUS LOCAL ITEMS.
GooCHLAND COURTHOUSE, VA.,2
Sorta,har IT 1914

GoocHLAND COURTHOUSE, VA.,l
September II, 1874.
Your correspondent had the pleasure OF
attending the entertainment last night which
was given in the courthouse building. But
for the inclemency Of the weather there
would evidently have been much larger
crowd in attendance than there was. TIE
entertainment was opened with beautiful
piece of music on piano and violin, and was
excellently performed by Miss Mollie j. Da-
Wis and Mr.. Thomas A. Boiling.
The following pieces were performed
beautifully by Miss Molie j. Davis Zone OF
the prettiest young ladies at the concert and
Mr.. Boiling: "Opera of Martha,'' THE
aOpera of Martina? 202 pages? Hardly
Dispatch.l "Higbland Fling" "Riccabocca
Waltz" and "Queen of Hearts Waltz"
The tableaux were very fine indeed. One
of the tableaux, "Father, Dear Father,
Come Home" was splendid. The tableau
consisted of several intoxicated men drink
ing, and little girl standing by one OF them
sung "Father, Dear Father, Come Home"
Immediately after the tableau, "Home. Sweet
Home" followed by "The Little Brown
Jug" both tunes being very appropriate for
the occasion.
The charades were acted finely. "Little
Red Riding Hood" (charade) took with the
audience very much.
Miss Lucy A. Peasants deserves great
deal OF credit for the many parts she took In
the entertainment.
Everybody enjoyed themselves very much,
and said the entertainment was well worth
the price OF admittance (twenty-tive cents).
A negro boy, about ten years OF age, was
thrown last Tuesday off Il horse and injured
seriously.
Two negro men bad fight this morning.
One of them was severely cut on his hands
and body. Both of them are members OF the
Baptist church, they say.
It commenced raining here last Tuesday
night at an early hour, and rained all through
the night, which was welcomed by all.
The weather day is cloudy and cool, and
there is prospect for rain. OBEKoN.

Ten years after the war ended,-to wit,
now-the Radical papers swear that the
southern people hate the Union and are
ready at any time to go out of it if an op.
portunity should offer. What sort of free
government do you call thats No southern
man could frame an indictment against the
Yankees which would be SO damniDg In its
charges as is the Radical statement above
mentioned. Their idea of liberty is " free
dom to do as they please and make others do
as they please" They propose to make us

bu, the New York Tribune brings IL oach y
memory. The majority OF the Senate com

ten by Senator CARpESTEs, IN Whicn Tue
ychoie subject was discussed, ara se'erai
hundred pages of evidence we're gwen. Inc
conclusion arrived at was that there We're
frauds on both sides, and that new ELECTION
ought 10 be held. The report contained
this important admission:
"Your committee are, therefore, led to the
conclusion that if the election held in No
rember, 1872, be not absolutely void for
frauds committed therein, McEnery and bis
associates In State offices, and the persons
certified as members OF the Legislature by
the De Ferie. Board ought to be recognized
as the legal government Of the State. Cob
sideripg all the facts established before your
committee, there seems no escape from Tue
alternative that the MeERefy~ government
must be recognized by Congress or congress
must provide Tor RI election"
The bill for carrying out the new election
recommended by the committee was discus
ssd February % and rejected by vote OF

/, to reconsider this vote, but It was mega
tiyed by % against % votes. This practically
ended the Louisiana case in Congress. ''1he
Democrats opposed the ne1o election, ooth
for tie reason that it ,could be an unldwful
interference 10Th the rights Of sovereign
State, and because the lMcEnery government
had been fairly elected. The Republican
senator's were satisfied with KELLOGG in
power, basking in the favor of the Admins.

The eighteen votes in favor of the COM
mit4ee's bill were all Republicans. The De.
mocrats were such strong friends OF States
rights that they wouldn't vote for it But
they voted practically to continue KELLOGG
in power. and they Will vote next winter
that the McEneryites were rebels.

A very queer story comes from Maine. Ac-
cording to the Portland Argus, that most
radical of temperance States has been with
out prohibitory liquor-law for two years.
The Legislature, while tinkering at some
amendments to the law, inadvertently left
out the operative clause in the rcenactment.
This defect having been recently discovered,
there is much excitement among the tempe
rance people as we'll as those opposed to pro-
hibition. II the defect invalldates the law
