POLITICS AND aEs?Ec-ABIL-Ty.

OF all foolish ideas current re-
speeding politics and political ac-
tions, perhaps the worst is the in
sane one held by certain ministers,
physicians and others, that any at
tention paid to politics involves a
loss of responsibility, and danger
Gus lowering of moral tone. This
notion is not only foolish, but, what
certainly some of those mentioned
should recognize, positively dis
graceful, since it is not only mis-
taken idea in point of fact, but one
entaijng the worst consequences
when carried out in practice. For
notice its action: Rev. Timothy
Humbrum considers politics be-
meath him; he eschews them him
self, and is careful that his parish
oners shall share his sentiments.
The result, often too well marked, is
tendency on the part of the bet
ter classes to forsake the pools, and
tho logical consequences follow
the election is governed by the low
er classes of the community. This
is state of affairs too patent and
Uft-repeated to be passed over in
silence. Where SUCH a state exists,
it is a practical abandonment of the
principals of Repnbllcanism, and
an acknowledgment that the me-
chanical workings of our system Of
government, if not its very essence,
are not up to the times, because in
moral influence beneath it. That
this is true, we do not believe; and
that the state of affairs concerning
politics which it represents neces-
sarily exists we do not conceive. 1t
often happens that politics are dis
graccd by its representatives but
there never was an issue OF national
Importance, certainly not now, that
lid not demand decision on the
basis of "principles, not men,
Reyublic.

NEGRO PLOT DISCOVERED.
New YORK, August 10.

NEW YORK, August ~.
The Times has a special from
Augusta, Ca, about the reported
attempted insurrection of negroes.
1t says two days since letter was
found in Williamson store in
Washington Co., place where
colored militia company drills,
ordering the massacre Of the whites
on the Doth inst. The order was
signed by man named Norris, and
stated tAat Rivers, a colored militia
General of South Carolina, would
be present and direct the movement.
The order said: "Kill every white
man, and take every gun you can
get. Have all your companies ready.
Kill with axes and hoes, Pitch
forks, gun-powder and shot, as you
kill" After commencing the work
in Washington county, the negroes
were directed to move toward Bar
low, in Jefferson county, where they
wolld be joined by Gen eral Rivers.
At first, many thought this a hoax,
gotten up for the purpose of soaring
the whites but, yesterday, letter
was found in Jefferson county, Iii
rected to the colored companies, and
giving them substantially the same
instructions. The whites, apprc-
bending danger, telegraphed to
Macon for ammunition, which was
furnished and distributed to local
companies. Then preparation was
made for the conflict, but measures
were also taken to prevent a collision
and by dusk this evening so negroes,
charged with being ring leaders in
the movement, have been arrested.
1t is alleged correspondence that
was captured indicatesthe existence
Of conspiracy among the negroes,
extending through the counties Of
Washington, Jefferson, Johnson and
Burke.

1t is hard thing for German
patriotism to die. Though this is
an age in which it seems to be on
the decline, on last Monday a statue
was erected in honor of one who
liberated Germany more than twenty
centuries ago. The ceremony was
grand and imposing, for there were
present the Royal family and all the
flower Of the German empire. The
statute is a colossal figure of copper,
100 feet in height, and weighs more
than ll5, 000pounds. Itnow stands to
tell the immortal tale Of Armenius
(the Latinized form Hermannj who
was the chief of the Cherusci, now
the territory of Hanover and Bruins
wick. Ills country had been re-
peatedly invaded by julius Cpsar
and other Roman leaders, who
threatened to engulf it within the
confines of their own sway. 1t
was in these wars that the young
prince displayed his heroism. He
met Narius with three Roman lesi-
ons, which were not only defeated,
but annihilated. The victory was
complete, and German freedom
was born. Forty years ago, Earnest
Won Boudel began statue to his
memory, and labored devotedly till
the present year, when it has been
completed. 1t is as large and as
rich as the colossus at Rhodes, that
was regarded as one of the wonders
Of the world. 1t is certainly a
triumph of modern times, and stands
as a model of German patriotism
and devotion to art.

The Chicago Tribune, in predict
ing the issue Of '76, says:

So throughout the country Democrats and
Republicans in all the other states recognize
the Importance Of the election in Ohio. Ohio
is one Of the few debatable and yet decisive
states. Should the rag. money policy prevail
in Ohio, or be detes'"I by scant majority,
then, backed by TIE Southern and Western
States, and despite I, he Oh elections of the East
ern States, the Dem ocratic party will not only
eneer the campaign of 1876 with a rag-money
platform and rag-money candidate for Pres
ident, but rag money candidates for Congress
and State Legislatures.
The issue thus defined by the Democrats,
and by them forced upon the country, must
be met by an equally decisive platform and
candidates by the Republican party in favor
of redeenable and par money, and a speedy
return to it. This cannot be avoided. The
Democrats will leave no room for equiyoca-
ton or double meaning. The issue between
the two great parties vii! be sharply defined,
and the candidates must be men so closely
connected with the policy as to leave 40
room for any uncertainty

THE WHISKY FRAUDS,

Notwithstanding the Democratic
press throughout the country per-
sists in defending the whisky frauds
and consuming the government for
investigating and exposing them,
there are exposures being constant
ly made, which, for dishonesty and
corruption, can scarcely find par
allel There is no species of fraud
that has not been proven against
them, and last Friday night their
course of crime eliminated by re-
sorting to murder to protect the
members. J. +. Miller, OF Chicago,
had formerly been a u. $. Gauger,
but was discharged for some slight
violation OF rules He, being well
informed regarding the secret mau4
agement of the distilleries. became
dangerous enemy, by giving the
government officials valuable infor-
nation concerning them. His dis
closures implicated men who stood
high, socially, in Chicago. The
truth of the matter terrified them
SO much that they determined to
remove him by the hand of an as
sassin, and last Friday evening,
while he was looking around for
further evidence, he was shet, but
not fatally. Such an act gives pos
tive evidence that the worst charges
against the whisky ring is true, and
warrants the closest prosecution by
the governments. The Democratic
press may abuse the administration
for the investigation. but it only
shows that they are accustomed to
turning q blind eye upon corrup-
tions in which their own interest is
involved.

On Saturday it was tel egraphed
to New York that the Steamer
Spain had arrived in the bay with
the two evangelists, Moody and
Sankey, on board. A party con-
sisting of prominent citizens of n.
Y. and Philadelphia, who had made
preparation to receive them, pro-
ceeded to pay them honor. They
state their intentions to carry on q
series of reyiyals in some of the
principal cities of the United States
this fall, similar to those they have
just completed in Great Britain.
They do not wish to be interviewed
by reporters. and desire their praise
withheld from the press. Several
cities have invited them, but it is
thought they will begin by trying

THAT NEGRO PLOT.

1t is now coming to light that the
alleged negro instruction in
Georgia, an account of which we
publish in another column, is moth
ing more than a scheme of the
White League, for the purpose OF
inducing the authorities to prose-
cute the negroes, or arm the whites
that they might follow up their own
brutality. The ku-lSlux and White
Leaguers, have long continued to
convict and imprison the innocent
and defenseless blacks, in Washing
ton and Jefferson counties. The
scheme has been successful far
enough to create considerable of ex-
element, and cause the officers to
i mprison a large number of limo
cent negroes, who were represented
has being the instigators of the
affair. Trials have followed, but
have resulted in nothing. Reports
have been circulated that the con-
LESSONS of Harris, disclosed many
prominent colored politicians con-
nected with the conspiracy, but
their reports can be traced directly
to the members Of the White League.
There seems to be no ground what
ever, for the false rumors, except
the petty war of races, and desire
to persecute the blacks. The whole
affair is therefore nothing but an
outgrowth of the old ku-klux clan
that has so long disturbed the
South.

addressed large meeting in Cleve-

for two hours to the school question,
which he treated in Il calm, logical,

Health Hints.

The following are a few excellent
rules for the promotion of health:
Eat only three times daily and
never between meals-not a nut or
an apple. Drink nothing while cat
ing.
One hearty meal per day is suf-
fcient. The other two should be
Avoid late suppers, pork, spices
and pepper, rich pastry, and imper-
feetly cooked beans.
Wheat, oat and barley meal, with
beans, peas, lean meat, fish; and wild
game, are the best articles Of food.
Fruits are cooling to the blood, and
especially adapted to warm weather.
Eat slowly, masticate your food well,
and eat nothing for three hours be-
fore retiring.
Let the time spent at the table be
happy. Encourage pleasant, cheer
full conversation; joke, but do not
argue. Rest a half-hour after every
hearty meal.

How to Keep Sick Rooms Cool.

The Bulletin Francois publishes a
description of the plan recommended
by DR.. Maurin to keep sick rooms
cool. 1t consists in opening the win
dows wide and covering the openings
with cloths stepped in water. 1t is
well known how largely water, in
passing from liquid to the gaseous
State, absorbs caloric. This absorb
ton lowers the temperature of the
room from five to six degrees in a few
minutes and the humidity diffused in
the air causes the heat to be more
readily supported. By this system
patients even in the. hottest time Of
the summer find themselves in per-
fectly fresh atmosphere. Ned
