This glorious old hero of fell
and forum threads his native heath
once morr,' and is back in his
native element. With harness on
the old war-h orse sentcrs the lists
again to do service, not for himself,
but for his people and his peoples
rights. And although the roll of
years has left its impress in burrows
on his brow, and the frosts of LIES
winter are marked in the silver
hairs of his head, yet the unquench-
able fires of patriotism, kindled and
famed from tho days of his carly
manhood, burn with all their living
glow in bis bosom. Oft tired and
found faithful and true, the people
of his district have made him their
unanimous choice for Congress.
Our heart was already in the work,
but We shall redouble our zeal and
efforts to secure success to our
cause and the election of our stand
ard-bcarer, that the victory may be
all the more glorious in the crown
of triumph that VIC intend to place
upon the head of Hol. O. r..

Andrew johnson, ex-President
of the United States, and the newly
elected Senator from the State of
Tennessee, died at the residence of
his daughter, near Greenville, in
that State, on the night of the 31st
ult., of heart disease and paralysis.
The death of this distinguished
public servant. is national calam-
ity, more especially at this time--a
time when tho American nation
needs the aid of her ablest and
truest sons. The recent election of
the deceased to the Senate carried
qualification to the heart of every
true son of the land and lover of
liberty and freedoms rights. In
Andrew Johnson was conferred much
ofthe hopes of the nation, especial
ly the South. We know he had the
brain power, the heart power to
cope with and master the opponents
of Constitutional law and the rights
of peoples and states. We know
that he had the courage and the
daring to throw himself into the
breach and TO cross his intellectual
sword with the despotic and OPP
pressive sword of the Chief Execu-
tive and his train of followers. To
US OF the South, he appeared almost
as David given of God to strike
down the modern Goliah. At this
time, we could have best spared al
most any man in the nation, save
Andrew johnson, and while we
mourn his death, and shall keenly
feel his loss, there are those, who,
while they mock sincerity and truth
with fulsome eulogies and hollow
praises, in proolamations and orders
in honor to his memory ARE smiling
and rejoicing deep down in their
hearts that the great Commoner is no
more. His death raises the barrier,
and opens the way for the con-
tinued misrule and oppression that
promised, in hi, late election, to
find cessation.

The fabrics made at the Southern
mills are in steady demand, while
those of the New England mills are
heaped up in unsold and unstable
stocks-the reason for the closing
last week of the Atlantic mills at
Lawrence, Mass, whereby 1850
operatives are thrown out of en-
ployment, being that the company
have surplus sof goods on hand
which they cannot dispose of. In
addition to this fact, 1T is stated that
the Georgia and South Carolina
goods are driving the Northern
goods of the same grade out of the
market They could not do this
unless they are manufactured at
less cost-and this is the secret of
the whole difference between the
condition of the mills of the two
sections. Cotton goods can be
manufactured moro chcaply in
Georgia than in Massachusetts, for
several reasons: First, when con-
summed in Southern markets, the
Georgia goods are exempt from two
carriages; second, living ana wages
are cheaper in the mild climate of
the Southern States than in the
severe climate of the Northern.
With these advantages in their
favor, the Ceorgians need nothing
but share of that enterprise which
the New Englanders possess in SO
large degree, to make their State
the home of an extensive and pro-
fitable cotton industry.-St. Louis
Republican.

its late special session enacted the

ton of voters; repea's the act ap-
proved March 6, 1875. Section 2

cry four years thereafter, and any

of further revising said registration

of such persons as may have been
omitted in their respective precints
or voting places.

ernor, Lieutenant Governor; Secre-
tary of State, Auditor and Attorney

Section IS authorizes that regis
trars shall receive three dollars per

treasury, on the allowance of the
Board OF Supervisors.

SECRETARY.

Tho Jackson Times wishes to
know what the NAIL means by de-
clarlng that the people of this Coun-
ty, tho Democracy, intend to carry
the election in this county at all
hazards. We mean just what we
say. Conscious that we are right,
and that our cause is just, and that
it is a solemn duty devolving upon
every true son of the State, we in
tend, cost what it will, to carry the
County for honest and just rule de-
spite the organized and armed pow
er of our enemies. We are not to
be intimidated ; and if the colored
people ofthis county who constitute
the strength of the Republican par
ty are 10 be made the willing tools
of a handful of carpet-baggers to do
their bidding, to ride roughshod,
rampant over us, as they have done
in years past, we intend to meet
them with organized power, cost
what it Will. Tho carpet-bag gov
eminent of this County could not
sustain itself without the organized
power of the colored people in their
loyal leagues and clubs. And we
affirm that were the carpet-bag in
fuenoe withdrawn, were the half
dozen or more Now Engl and yam
KEGS and skulking, hateful seal
lawags removed from tho County,
sixty days would suffice to bring
peace and harmony among all clas-
SEES and races of our people. The
whites and the blacks would move
hand in hand, and act heart with
heart for an honest and Intelligent
of the laws. The
bane of our miegovernnlent, the dis
order of our society lies at the door
of the white scoundrels in our Coun-
ty. Out with them Down with
them We want no more of them
We intend to have no moro of
them
