MARK TwAIN's INTERVIEW WITH

MARK TwAIN's INTERVIEW WITH
. Book PEDDLER.-A book peddler
visited Mark Twain at home to get
his subscription for new work, of
which he carried copy. He found
the genial Mark hoeing in his garden.
He was kindly received and asked
tn take seat. He took a seat. The
seat was on the fence, the uppermost
rail of which was sharp. He was not
happy when he sat down, and he got
no happier as he remained. He re-
NAMED there, too, very long while,
and Mr.. Twain was very kind. He
talked to him about the book and its
author, whom he knew; about the
pictures, and the letterpress, and
then he branched off into other and
very deep literary subjects, of which
the agent knew nothing. After an
hour or so Twain Hospitality asked
the agent into the house, and then he
talked to him some more. The agent
ives getting very tired and very hun
pry. Twain excused himself mo-
ment, and stayed away an hour,
during which time the agent suspects
he took dinner. He came back, and
was still very kind, and talked. again.
It was now nearly 6 p. M, and the
AGENT had come about IL a. m. He
had had nothing to eat, and nothing
had been said about subscription.
He grew desperate and asked Twain
if he would subscribe. 81 think 1
will" drawled Twain, "but not to-
day; come tomorrow and we will
talk about it." The agent decamped
and now swears-though he had
nice time, and Twain is a good talker
that he will never 60 back again
no, never.

aid. should be lent to State. 1T might
even happen that the same President
might deem it proper to suppress "do-
nestle violence" within a State whose
political majority was opposed to. him,
while he might not consider it proper to
interfere in State which voted with his
own party.
1t is thus that the Democratic principles
of. Jefferson and jackson have been SO
diluted and forgotten that the disciples
of the one oppose popular suffrage and
education, and those followers of the other
oppose the resumption and maintenance
Of specie payment.

TOWN AND COUNTRY.


1t used to be Democratic doctrine that
the hard handed tillers of the soil were en-
| titled to the chief confidence of society
and constituted the sole strength of the
State. ...
| 1t was also the doctrine of the same
Democracy that the trade, speculation
and mechanical employment demoralized
people and impaired the power of State.
The Democracy has abando ned and
even reversed its doctrine. 1t disparages
and denounces the laborers of the country,
and extols the bankers, traders and spec
ulators of the city. The Republican State
government represents the popular major
ity of the country. The Democratic ad-
ministration controls the city, enforces
order, and has in charge the collection of
the pub lie revenues, and the maintenance
of the municipal credit. Accordingly we
find the labor of the country regular, the
crops excellent, and the debt of this Re.
publican State reduced within the ability
Of the taxpayers to liquidate. On the
other hand the city is always on the eve of
political disturbance. 1t is suffering from
industrial and pecuniary embarrassments
to which we do not choose further to
allude lest we might prejudice immigra-
ton. The condition of the municipal
credit is such, however, as to be in
notorious contrast to the satisfactory
adjustment of the State liabilities.
We are glad to have superseded the
Democracy in the representation of the
agricultural interest. A representative
of commerce and other industrial interests
the Democracy has proved a dead failure.
Its only use for merchants is to furnish
the forced loans Of political campaign,
while the mechanic is only valued at GER
tain seasons to carry torch or a musket,
and to vote the ticket of the national Dem
ooracy.
If, therefore, In addition to the manage
ment and production of the sugar and
cotton crops, the corn and stock cattle of
the country, the Democracy would abdi-
cate municipal authority under which
the city seems going tine way of Tadmar
and other cities left desolate by change
of trade and want Of. adequate employment
for the population, it would certainly pro-
mote greatly the advantage of our people.
In the meantime, as Cowper, we believe
has written, "God made the country, and
the Republicans, working in fear and
obedience Of his divine laws, make the
crops. "Man made the town." and to the
Democracy has been intrusted the duty of
demonstrating that the work of man is
not equal to that of his Maker.

by acts of violence" and "any attempt by
persuasion or otherwis to induce others tC
join in any combined resistance to the law
tpl authority of the. State shall copstituts
an attempt to incite an insurrection" Tn
der section 43l7 OF the Code the penalty 70,
either is declared to be death, unless the
jury trying the accused recommend him tc
mercy, and then the penalty is confinement
IN the Penitentiary not less than five moi
more than twenty years. You perceive
from these definitions that single individ
ual can not commit insurrection. The
crime, from its very nature. requires the
joint action of two or more. But one Der
son can commit the crime of attempting to
incite insured ion. The task before you
now is to inquire diligently into the matter
of this alleged instruction in order to as
certain IL whether there has, in fact, been
any instruction, or any attempt by any
person to incite insurrection; and icy to in,
dict by bill or presentment such persons az
you shall find to be implicated.
This is q statute of great strictness 1t
makes the offense of instruction consist
in combined resistance to lawful author
ity, but another offense, Of attempting
to incite instruction, may be committed
by one person.
Since this charge, the grand jury has
found indictments against eleven persons,
charged with combining in instruction.
They have been tried by jury, and found
not guilty.
Since this Georgia disturbance the Mis-
sissippi troubles have occurred, and the
Governor has declared the State in insur-
rection, while a Democratic committee
has denied the assertion.
Suppose we compare the state of things
as presented under the administration of
Governor Kellogg with those which re-
Gently existed in Georgia. Suppose we
place the case of two negroes who said
there would be shot times" and expected
a forty acre homestead with mule to
work it, alongside of the thoroughly armed
military force which evicted Governor
Kellogg from Office and installed sue
cessor. 1t was shown that these two Geor-
gia negroes could combine in instruction
or in melting instruction, while some
thousands of Louisiana white men were,
as contended by their journals, never in
instruction at all.
With such assumption Of superior right
for one race, and strict severity of legal
construction against the other, who can
say that the doctrine Of political equality
is admitted by those, who contend that
there was no instruction at Colfax, or in
New Orleans, or at Clinton,s while the
bloodless disturbance in Georgia, now
shown to have been without evil intent,
has been magnified as an instruction
which justified all the solemnity of a
State trial.
Those who commended that the Governor
of Louisiana was not justified in regard
ing the military organization and open re-
sistance to law which existed in Louisiana
in 1874, and who have published the
opinion that the disturbance in Georgia
was an instruction, should in common
justice take back the last charge or plead
guilty to the first.

trivial acts, the pretext for White Line
murders and massacres. None so blind
as those who will not see. The impend7
ing conflict is desperate effort to over
ave the majority, .revoke.the constitution
established by reconstruction, insure
white supremacy, and make loyalty to
the Confederacy the standard test of Off
cial fitness. The federal power must be
again extended to help the friends of the
