Every citizen and taxpayer of
our town should feel, and we doubt
not does feel lively interest in its
welfare and prosperity. We are all
directly interested In its good name.
1t is source of qualification when
abroad to hear our town spoken of
in complimentary terms, to hear it
said that it is noted for the public
spirit and enterprise of it's citizens,
that its police and sanitary regula-
tons are good, that its streets and
sidewalks arc in good repair, and
all this that it is a live, f1ournish-
ing town. There is no surer way to
have all, this and to merit these COM
pliments than to sustain the organ
of the people the organ that cham
pions the peoples rights. On the
other hand there is 10 surer way of
losing it than by refusing to sup
port that organ, and in sustaining
and supporting one that is opposed
to the people, their rights and in
tcrests.
Let our people think of this, and
give to us a cordial support. There
is no time when an organ that has
the public interest at heart cannot

This is now the cry of the defeat

week-kneci friends of the Democrat
ic party. \ new party and for
what? Who would have thought
of n new party, had not the Demo
cratic party in its newncss OF lrie
wiped out of existence the party
lately in power in our state! The
true Democrats, thu true and I'M
selfish people of our state, desire
no now party. Tho one that gave
us the victory in November last is
all-sufficient. However, we want
a closer union among ourselves.
We want, and must have, thorough.
organization. Our clubs must be
kept intact and every possible
means that is honorable must be
employed to strengthen us in the
hold we have gained. Our enc
mics may appear to us, and so ex-
press themselves to us, a. satisfied
with their defeat, and leave the i'm
preston upon our minds that they
will accept the resentpoiitical con
dition of Affairs in our state and
county for all timc. We should
not accept their professions and per-
init ourselves TO lapse into state
of unconccrn and indifference. We
should not be caught mapping, but
should be alive and awake. Let us
put no trust or confidence in these
professions, for while they may be
made in the clear open day and
with apparent truthfulness, the men
who make thcm will be employ ed
during the night time and wher
our backs are turned, IN organizing
tho more ignorant classes of oul

Let US stand fist and true to oul

'Elsewh ere, our readers will FIN

@Elsewh ere, our readers will find
"a statement of the bonds of our
, principal county officers. 1t is for
the public to say what they are
worth, and how much could be
made out of the several sureties
should any one of them become a
liability. For our part, we give it
.as our humble opinion that not
more than fifty per cent, if that
.much could be made out of some of
them by process of law. All we
can hope for is that none of our Of
fcials will default, and if they should
that their bondsmen will step
promptly to the front and settle up.
WE are glad to see that general
Warner" the little faded tulip, does
mot figure again on any of the bonds,
and that W. Ben Cunningham still
retains his fortune despite the din
rtimidation and violeace" that is rife in
our county.

exert much good for It's patrons.
And what may be said of town,
and its need for an influential and
truthful organ, may also be said of
county. There are times too,
when an organ can do more good
fora people than aught else. In the
late canvass the newspapers of our
state We're of lncalculablc benefit in
giving expression to the sentiments
and wishes of the people aud the re-
suit was most happy and beneficial
The time will soon come when the
influence and eXertionS of the news
papers will again be needed. The
race we are to have next fall and
the fall following will require able
and influential organs TO battle for
the rights of the people, for truth
and Justice. See to it then that
your town and county organ is sus-
tanned and kept alive.

Our new Legislature is on

Our new Legislature is on the
right track. A bill has been intro
duced reducing the salaries of GER
tain officers and clerks. This is as
1T should be. There is no earthly
use in paying men to do little or
nothing. 1t is urged by some that,
IF the salaries are cat down to the
, figures proposed, 1t will be impos-
sible to get competent men.to fill
the positions. This remains to be
tried. We will admit that it will
lessen the greed for Office, there
will not be such rush for the flesh
pots when those pots contain moth
ing moro than support and do
not hold out the prospect to men TO
make them rich. If it so turns out
that competent men cannot be had
at the reduced salaries, there is
nothing to prevent an increase. Let
the cheap plan he tried, as long as
9 no injustice is done to employer or
employee, and if it fails make the
g., change necessary.

When the Bill, in regard to ira

When the Bill, in regard to traf-
slicing at night in cotton and corn,
was under discussion before the: Com
.mittee of the Whole, last Monday.
Jacobs, the colored representative
from Adams county, gave it as his
opinion that the best and surest
remedy for petty larcenies was the
whipping post, and did not think it
any more barbarous TO punish in
this wise than it would be to inn
prison. Now, we take it that if
any Democrat had suggested the
whipping post as a cure for cotton
or corn stealing, every mothers
son of q Radical would cry out, oh,
the revival of slavery practices !!
oh, the persecution! and all the
Radical organs and politicians would
begin waving the bloody shirt. 1t
ais all right, however, for colored
man to suggest the above mode Of
punishment. We hope our colored
citizens will remember this.

IMPEACHMENT.

There is very little doubt, from
the present outlook, but that Ames,
Davis and Cardoxa will be impeach-
ed. We have heretofore been in
duced to believe that it would be
impolitic, unwise and of no profit
to impeach these functionaries, but
recent Developments lead us to be-
lieve differently.
There is now no doubt as to the
success of the proposition to inn
peach. If there was, we would say,
do not attempt 1t for if it is begun
and not accomplished, the end will
be worse than the beginning. As
the matter progresses, we will keep
our readers posted. AT this time
we will say, it is the purpose to i'm
peach, and we believe, success fully.

Our CITY Fathers are actually

Our City Fathers are actually SO
economical that they have, as we said
last week, all "unbeknowens" to
our citizens undertaken to procure
for them a new City Charter. 1t is
a fact, that these worthless have
found it too expensive to give
publication of their intention to
change the organic law of our city,
the law under which they hold their
offices, the law that tn ey were call
ed to administer, the law that makes
them the servants of the people.
These gentlemen seem to have for
gotten that they are the creatures
and not the creators of the law.
When they adopted the new char
ter, which is now before the Lcgis-
lature, they did an act unwarranted.
Who authorized them to abrogate
the old Charter Who authorized
them to make a new Charter No
body but their almighty selves. In
presuming to cast off the old
law and put on n new law, without
consulting their creators, the peo-
pie, they have been guilty of an as
sumption ofpower that is unpardon-
able, unless in our charity for them
we attribute it to an economy of wis.,
dom and an understanding of their
official duties. But, while they have
economised in publishing their in
tention, while they, have ecenomis-
ed in asking the will of the people,
they have not economised in tho
matter of their terms of Office, but
haye been somewhat prodigal in
voting themselves into place and
power for five months longer than
they were elected by the people.
We would remind these gentlemen
that the people propose to run the
machinery of the City Government
that when officers are to be elected,
they propose to do the electing. and
do not intend that these officers
shall ignore their rights and do their
voting and elcctlng for them.
There is too much of the Ring in
the manner things are being con-
Quoted in the management of our
city affalrs-but the people will not
submit to having the ring put into
their noses and to be led by a half
dozen men.
We will say in conclusion that the
new Charter may be gilt edge, it
may be inst the thing our people
need, and if it is submitted to them
for ratification we will vote for it.
But we do not propose to be cut off
and denied the rights we have as a
citizen to vote for or against it.

We learn that the new Charter,
proposed for our city by our eco
City Fathers, has been re-
turned to them on account of some
informalities-to be copied, etc.
Now, this Charter is not the prop
.erty of our citizens, and We suggest
ahat as economy is the programme,
that all expenses incurred in its pre-
paration, copying, etc, be not taxed
to the people. We would like to
see the law that gives the authority
to our councilmen to vote away the
peoples money in matters of this
kind. We will ask, too, who is to
do tho copying and if it was let out
TO the lowest bidder?

The Petersburg (Virginia) In
dex has this story: About three
months ago, an old and respected
citizen of Petersburg died, leaving,
it was supposed, smalkestatc to be
divided between wife and several
children. Among his effects was
an old desk that he alone had had
access to for the past twenty or
twenty-five years. The family was
very much surprised, on opening
the said desk recently, to find that
it contained bonds, with coupons
attached, amounting to between
$4,000 and $4,000, which had
been purchased by him years ago.
The interest coupons are still on
them, none having been collected
during that long period"

to our Representatives in the Leg
