Gov. TLDEN, of New York, in his
late message, attributes the commerciaI

the monstrous evil of taxation imposed

industry of the section that produces the

Others into the uses of the combined

for Hayes for President if you like.
1t is natural that you should prefer a
Republican President, particularly
if you are going to try Democratic
State Government. But vote for
Gen. Hampton and the Democratic
State ticket. Chamberlain has not
protected you, and depend upon it,
it Hayes is chosen President, he is
not going to Listen to Chamberlain or
any other Southern Governor who
runs mp to Washington to tell his
tale, when he ought to be on the spot
to Gee justice done between yoa and
your white neighbor. Hayes does
not believe in Federal Interference
in the South.
That is the advice we should give
to South Carolina and also to Loui-
siana colored men. If they only
took time calmly to consider the mat
ter they would see that while the
Southern Republican politician lives
upon "Outrages," and prospers the
more the colored men are wronged
or slain, the Southern Democrat must
perforce maintain peace and order;
for it he does not the whole North
boots at him and demands that the
Federal power shall upset him. Ar.
kansas was full of crime aud disorder
until the Democertic Gov. Garland
came into power. 1t has been peace
ful ever since, and no complaints
come from there, under Ills wise rule,
Of wrong to Republicans or colored
men.

Death of General Bragg.

Tho sad intelligence of the sudden
death Of Gen. Braxton Bragg Comes
to us from Galveston, Texas, whore
he died Oh the 2zth lust.
General Bragg was born in War
rem County, North Carolina, in 1915,
and graduated at West Point in
1887. lie served with great distine-
tion in the Mexican war, under Gen.
Taylor, with the rank Of Captain,
and resigned his commission in 1856.
lie then retired to private life until
the breaking ont of the late war.
He entered the Confederate SER
vice, and in 1851 became Brigadier
General, and commanded the forces
at Pensacola till February, 1862
The May ensuing he succ, eded Gen.
Beaureyard as commander of the
Army in Mississippi, with the rank
OF General. Afterwards, moving
from Chattanooga, in August, he in
vaded Kentucky with large army,
and threatened Louisville. He'was
opposed by all army under General
Buell., with whom he finally fought a
severe and indecisive battle at Ter
ryville, October s, 1862. After this
battle he retired in the night towards
Tennessee with commissary stores
taken at Lexington and other places.
In December Of the same year he
fought the severe battle Of Stune
River. He then retired to Talla-
homa, followed slowly by Rosencrans,
and thence to Chattanooga. He al
tackled the Union army OIL the 19th
OF September, 1868, at Chickamau~
ga, with great success. lie was
driven back by Genera' Grant at the
battle of Missionary Ridge, N ,vem-
Der, 1868, and on the following De-
cember was relieved from his com-
mand.
General Bragg was wholly FREQ
tr"m the spirit Of the military ada
venturer, and united himself with
the Southern cause from conviction
and genuine patriotism. The dis
cipline he sought to estabIsh in the
unframed army OF the West, rem
dered him generally unpopular. But
1t was needed, and his course de-
serves high commentator. He is
criticised for want Of enterl .riae,
and for over caution in the camrai.
gn into Kentucky and after the bat
tie of Chlckamamga. He was a gen.
tleman Of simple, unpretendiDg man
ners, pure character and clear mind.
He was respected wherever knowm
tor these qualities.

The way to Capture Hawks and Owls.

Most hawks, especially such as prey
upon fowls OF any sort, usually light
on the top OF some bare pole, post, or
dry tree. A farmer writes that he
has succeeded in taking about twenty
hen hawks in steel trap, by setting
the trap on the upper end OF q square
pole some twenty feet high, with
the but end firmly planted iu the
ground. Edward Gaylord, of iowa,
writes 10 relation to capturing owls
When / suspect the owls are about
to commence their mischief / get
stick suitable for the place, and fasten
a small steel trap fiat on the top, and
set up some three or four feet above.
If an owl comes anywhere near he
will be very sure to settle down in the
trap with as much calm and as grace
ful an air as an owl is capable of put
ting on. This is a trait in the owl
quite peculiar to himself. He seldom
pOunces on mis- victim the first thing,
like other birds Of prey; but first
comes slowly along, and settles down
on some conspicuous site near tbs
victims and takes n very calm and
cool survey of all the surroundings.
As soon as all things appear to him
~ bo iaNOIHOicS uc 4uiettJ IeAS hitO
self down among the fowls, hoping to
induce some one of their number to
fly off or drop down from their
roosts, when he, quick as thought,
embraces the opportunity to swOop
down and carry off the fowl. I some
times fssten the trap with q staple,
firm on top of the stick but I find
this gives them a much better chance
tn tear themselves out of the trap.
Now fasten it slightly on top and
firmly in the stick, some two feet be-
low the trap, with a chain or cord.
