Saturday Evening,

Everybody looks forward to Satur-
day evening with a feeling of thank
fulness. The weeks work is done.
There is a gathering in of the loved
ones. There is no anxiety or care for
the morrow. a feeling of quiet salts
faction overshadows every happy
household. 1t is perhaps the laboring
man who has spent the week ia unre-
uniting toll, who can look forward
to Saturday evening with the greatest
pleasure. 1t is to him a time of rest,
of relaxation. For the first time in
six days, he feels that his time is his,
that at least for the next twenty -four
hours he eau be his own master. We
have sometimes thought that a mans
family was nearer and dearer to him
on Saturday evening than at any
other time.
The family that really knows how
TO make the most of Saturday and
Sunday will throw aside as far as
possible all thought of the business of
the week, and instead ofa dull rou-
tine of work filling the mind and &C.
cupying the attention, they will read
and chat merrily with the children,
and lay aside the weekday sober brow
and be sociable with themselves and
the rest of the world. AL talk about
work as we'll as all work will make a
life dull. Work, to be enjoyed, and
to be readily profitable, must have
some of the spice of fun and zest in it.
Then Saturday evening, when the
days work is done, go home merrily,
give the baby an extra kiss, throw
aside dull care, drink your cup of tea
cheerily, and read the DEMOCRAT, and
be happy.

If a mau cheat thee once, shame OIL
him if he cheat thee twice, shame on
thee. If imam deceive thee, trust
him not again. If he insult thee, go
away from him if he strike thee,
thrash him like smoke. If you have
lost your credit, be indus rious, and
you will regain it. If you have lost
your property, be industrious, honest
ard frugal and you will acquire more.
If you have a good wife, take care of
her; if you have not, get one imme-

GRAFT, subscribe for it at once.

Some one has well said that SPAR
ents who spend money judiciously to
improve the house and grounds about
it, are paying their children a premi-
UNI to stay at home and enjoy it; but
when they spend their money unnec-
essarily on fine clothing and jewelry
for their children, they are paying
them a premium to spend their time
away from home-that is, in places
where they can display such orna-
ments." In other words, parents of
sense set a sensible example to their
children in dress as in everything
else.

upper branch of the Legislature. In the Sc
ond district the Governor aud council have
t:rown out the Republican votes cast for
Matt" Head as Senator, on the ground that
his name is Nathaniel, though he has been
popularity known in and out of the State for
years as General Matt Head. In the Fourth
district tie votes cast for Arthur Deeriag, the
Prohibition candidate, are thrown out on the
ground Of his ineligibility. Both seats are
thus secured for the Democratic Senators, re-
gardless of the fact that they were not elected
by tie people at the polls, and by this usurpa-
ton of power the control of the Senate is Sc
cured fer he Democracy. The fraud is trans
parent, and almost unequaled in its audacity.
Credit can readily be given to the telegram
which says there is great indignation among
the Republicans of New Hampshire. They
won a victory fairly at the polls in March, and
won it against desperate odds. Now the Dem
cratic officials, before going out OF office, at
tempt to steal the fruits of their triumph.
They may be made to regret their rascality,
however, when they find it recOiling on their
own heads. The Republicans have discovered
that Jones, of Portsmouth, who was elected to
Congress as Frank Jones, and has received his
certificate, is no such man at all, but is Frank
lin Jones, and as such received property be-
uueathed by his father. If Nathaniel Head is
not Matt Head in Democratic eyes, Franklin
Jones cannot by any possibility be Frank Jones.
The exchange of Senator for Congressman
might be no loss if it did not carry with it the
control of State Senate.

THE PRACTICAL working of the Civil
Rights law in Georgia has produced one
STANCE result, if reports are true. MIR.
Stephens, ex Vice President of the defunct
confederacy, is said to have taken a seat in
a railroad car intended for the sole use OF
colored people. He supposed, no doubt,
it was smoking car, but when he or his
friends attempted to light cigars, the con-
ductor appeared and politely Informed them
they would be compelled to take seats in
another coach. Thereupon Mr.. Stephens
is reported to have made the following
speech

THE Alabama investigators should take
up the circumstances attending the election
of Senator Goldthwaite and look into them
carefully. They are so anxious to find
something corrupt that they should leave
no stoae unturned. Unfortunately, when
Nj GoldthWaite was a candidate there
were two and perhaps more members OF
the Legislature who were ready to sell or
did sell their votes TO him. There is better
evidence to sustain this allegation than that
which they have soassiduously telegraphed
over the country regarding Senator Spen-
GERS case. In fact, Goldthwaite bought
his way into the Senate. Spencer, on the
contrary, was duly nominated by his party
in caucus and supported in lis election by
all the members Thereof. 1t was natural
that, being the Republican nominee, he
should receive all the Republican votes,
and it is unnatural to believe that he was
compelled TO buy any of those votes. Let
us have Goldthwaite examined, by all
means.

THE Indian chiefs from the Black Hills
now in the city attract great deal of atten-
ton. They have added to their fame as
warriors, or scalp-hunters and cruel assas-
sins, a reputation for dignihed assertion of
assumed rights which will be accepted by
many as something akin to impudence.
The manner in which they addressed the
President yesterday sufficiently demon
strates their belief, that they are the true
pOssessors of the entire continent, to con-
vince any one who understands the Indian
character of their intention to drive q
shrewd bargain in disposing of the Black
Hills reservation. Now is the time for
sentimcntalists to show their warm-hearted
regard for the red butchers and their belief
in the noble characteristics Of the aborigi-
nal savage.

AN article on our first page this morning
proves beyond the possibility of doubt
the fraudulent character OF the claim that
the first Declaration Of Independence was
adopted by tie citizens of Mecklenturg,
n. G., one hundred years ago to-day. The
impudence of the assumption that the
MecklenbuTgers anticipated the Declara-
tion adopted at Philadelphia, July 4, 177G,
is fully exposed. Aside from the shistori-
cal arguments presented in the article re-
ferred TO, we ask the simple question, why
is it that with all their boosted intellect and
cultivation, the incidents connected with
this alleged occurrence have not been i'm
mortalized in song and verse and story by
North Carolina writers, like those which
happened in Massachusetts, have been been
by New England poets and historians?
There is food for thought regarding sec
tional differences aud the peculiarities of
the people of the South and New England
in this question.

THREE CoLORED military companies at
Wilmington, n. c., had the impudence to
believe they were included with other
similar organizations to participate in the
ceremonies of the Mecklenburg Centennial
celebration. They accordingly addressed
2 note to the chairman of the managing
committee, Mr. W. 4. Wright, to the effect
that they were greatly interested in the
celebration, because their forefathers had
served in the Revolutionary war, and be-
cause they themselves had "served in the
last war to maintain the Union of States
Although this note was forwarded more
than three weeks ago, no reply had been
received up to the 18th instant. We are at
q loss to understand this lack of courtesy
toward their colored fellow citizens on the
part Of the Mecklenburg managers. In
view of their boosted love for the black
race, and their boosted desire to advance
the interests of that race in every respect.

THERE SEEMS to be 4 general belief all
over the country that revival in business
affairs will soon occur. Senator Sherman
has predicted it, and the transactions at the
Treasury Department, as regards the es-
tablishment of new banks and the general
management OF the currency, indiclte it.
The sooner it comes the better; but it will
be a sad thing for the Democracy. A re-
turn TO what is called good times will
dissipate nine tenths of the political discon-
tent which now disturbs the country.
