Change of the Democratic Policy.

The COu.icr-JouT1al attributes the
disasters in the Democratic ranks to
fatal change of policy from the great
issues of misrule, corruption and tariff
reform, to other and subordinate issues,
designed to promote narrow and selfish
ends. Under the former they had
achieved an unbrOken series of victo-
rics, but with change of policy have
come disaster and defeat. 1t says -.
'There can be little difference of opin-
ion on the subject now. Nothing could
have changed the tide of victory which
had squarely set in but the substitution
of the fatal issues for the successful
ones. The President had given no gen.
uine evidence of change of policy.
The carpet baggers of the South were as
remorseless and destructive as ever.
Corruption in Congress and out of it was
disclosed with each new investigation.
The people had determined upon
change of parties and of policy. Bnt
just at that time, presto, and the politi-
cal jugglers revolutioniZe the aspect of
affairs, the Southern sky is darkened,
gloomy portents CLEAN on every hand,
the partisans of the President smile,
the adventures and thieves rise at once
to q terrible Importance, and hell for the
South and purgatory for the North have
come again. '.F ..
Fortunately, however, all is not yet
lost. There has been no Phillippi, no
Waterloo, to change the destinies of ma
tions and to construct new map of the
world. What has been lost by the folly
OF the few may be regained by the cour-
age and patriotism Of the many. The
necessities Of the situation, coming
home to every honest and intelligent
member of the opposition will result in
the concentration of all of their energy
and hope upon the vital points essential
to the existence of our institutions.
Public opinion, guided by sense Of
public danger, will suppress the rival
rles OF petty aspirants for the presiden-
cy in Ohio as well as elsewhere There
will be united effort against Grantism,
with the long catalogue of evils which
the term implies" ,,.... ...

Gen. Joseph E.. johnson.

Gen. D. H. Hill thus refers in the
Southern Home to DR.. Hoge's eulogy
on the distinguished chieftain, at the
Jackson celebration in Richmond
Carried away by the enthusiasm
caused by the mighty surroundings, DR..
Eoge made his most eloquent utterances
eXtemporaneously, and they do not APP
pear in his published speech. He paid
q most glowing tribute to Gen. Joseph
F Johnston, the greatest Of living SOL
diers, whose singular fortune it was al
ways to encounter vastly superior forces,
and therefore to be always retreating;
but his retreats gave no confidence to
his enemies and demoralized not one
whit his own devoted followers. The
cheer that greeted this outburst Of DR..
H0ge was as hearty and spontaneous
from the tens of thousands of listening
soldiers as from the orator himself.
Gen. Johnston was much affected by
this honest tribute of love, confidence
and ADMIRATION, and came forward and
bowed his cInowledments."

VOLUME XXIII---N0 33.

The following Stanzas were found in ;
Soldiers pocket, after his death on the liclt
Of battle:
so World so few the years We live,
Would that the life which thou dost give
Wcro life indeed!
Alas thy sOrrows fall so fast,
Our happicst hour is when at last
The soul is freed.
"Our days are covered DER with grief,
And sOrrows neither few nor brief
Veil all in gloom;
Left dcsolatc of real good,
Within this chccvlcss solitude
No pleasures bloom.
''Thy pilgrimage begins in tears,
And ends in bitter doubts and fears,
Or dark despair
Midway so many tolls appear.
That lie vino fingers here
Knows most Of care.
"'rhy goods arc bought with many sroan
BY the hot sweat Of toll alone,
And weary hearts;
E'lect-toOtcd is the approach Of WOO,
But with lingering step and slow
Its form departs"

Registration Of Voters.

In view Of the approaching session of
the Legislature, the State Press is again
discussing the question of Registration,
and urging the passage of proper law
Oil the subject. The matter was brought
before the last Legislature in the mes
sage of Governor Chamberlain, aud the
necessity of Registration clearly and
forcibly set forth; and we trust that the
present session will not end without the
passage Of law, making due provision
i'll tn" premises. Election frauds will
exist III spite OF al efforts to prevenl
thcn, bat The chances for their COM
mission are SO materially diminished by
a proper system Of Registration, that it
houll not be for moment neglected.

Notes on Advertising.

70 cure dull times-apply an adver-
tisemcnt to the afflicted parts.
\ sign-board can't tell anything. It
takes an advertisement to do that.
All who advertise do not get rich but
precious few get rich without it.
The world is full Of advertising; yet
every one wants to see what is new.
The worlds memory is short. 1t will
forget you if you do not jog it frequent
iy.
Early to bed and early to rise will be
all in vain if you don't advertise.
The world is sure to find out al hon
est man but it will find him out 9
great deal quicker if he advertises.

Turkey seems to he coming 10 her
senses, warned by the menacing attitude
Of the Great Powers. On this subject
Of Ottoman misrulc, and the present
status of the Eastern question, the Bal
tlmorc ,S,0, says: "via Christians of
Herzegovina have been oppressed and
crushed by their MuSselmcn ncighbors
and by the Musselmen officials as no
people in & civilized age ever have been

civilization before. Their very houses
have been desccratcd and polluted, and
their wives and daughters dragged away
to become victims Of their Turkish mas
tcrs. The courts of Turkey have been
dumb to their appeals. The eyes of
Justice in those tribunals have been
blind to the atrocities pcrpetrated by
Turks. and open only to the crimes Of
NhristiaMs in trying to defend their own
households from degradation. From
East experience there j. not the slightest
reason to believe that Turkey will take
any practical steps towards reform un-
less She is compelled to do it by the
Great Powers.

vent the intervention Of the Great

The Judicial sTe.ure.

The ivcaps and Courier fortifies it's po-
sition-that the Judicial tenure of Office
in this State is fixed by the Constitu-
ton for the term Of four years, which
the Legislature cannot abridge-by
new array Of arguments and authorities.
1t makes a very strong showing for the
position, that the only exception to this
four years tenure is in case Of an Ex-
ecutive appoiItm ent, "where the unex-
pired term does not exceed one year." as
provided by the constitution, but that all
elections must under the constitution
be for the full term Of four years.
