Lewis District Ticket

Hon. Julian Hartridge of Georgia,
whobecame exceedingly disagreeable
to the Radicals after his eloquent,
temperate and touching speech in
the New York Hamburger debate
Nothing is more disagreeablo to the
minority than a Democrat who has
real affection for the negro race, and
sincerely labors for their enlighten-
ment and advancement, The car
pet baggers bore the negro only as an
instrument for the attainment of po-
litical power, and labor to keep the
race in vice and ignoranceSwhile cul-
tured and states.manlike Southern
ers, like HOrtridge know that upon
the woll-being of the race, with whom
they must live, depends the prosper
ity of their whole section,

Ohio and Indiana Going Demo-
cratic,

There is Il row in the camp in
Washington. Gail Schurz has writ
ten letter from Ohio, to Il relative
in Washington, in which he admits
that the Germans of Ohio are arraycd
against Hayes and predicts Ropub-
lican defeat in that State and in In
diana. This fact coming to The ears
ofZach Chandler, that worthy attack
ed Schurz and charged him with sell.
ing out to the Democrats. The kitch,
en- cabinet organs in Washington are
in open revolt against Schurz and Il
demand has been made for him to be
taken from the stump, Some of his
appointments for joint discussions
with Voorhees, have been cancelled
The fact that schurz predicts Rcpub-
lican defeat in the October elections
is very significant. Won't there be
weeping and crashing of teeth in
the Republican camp in Mason if
schurz's prediction proves true.

The charge of the Monitor that we
circulated the petition for appoint
ment ofPost Master, before tho fu-
neral of DR.. French was over, is false,
we did no such thing, neither were
we so busy with it that We couldnot
attend his funeral; neither are we a
Mason. But if we had of been, we
would have acted very differently
from what some of the Radicals, who
are Masons, did in the premises. Our
love for deceased brother and our
desire to assist his family, would
have compelled us to sign the petit
ton for the appointment of the wild
owls son Post Master. Mr.. Shrews-
bury and others refused to sign
that petition, thereby demon
strating to the world that Republican
politics, in their estimation, was par
amount to Masonry.

Tho gentleman whose name heads
this article, as is doubtless known to
our readers, is candidate for seat
in the House Of Delegates. Any
thing we could say in commenda-
ton Of him would be useless, ordina-
rily, but since some of the Rcpubli-
cans, with the Mason County Journal
at the head, have been villifying him,
we deem it but an act Of justice, to
say word in lis behalf Mr.. Sc
brell was born and reared in
our midst, is descended from one of
the oldest and most respected fami-
lies in the county, and we defy his
traducors to point to one act Of his
that would cast dishonor ON his name.
Mr.. Sebrill has devoted the best years
of his life to agricultural pursuits,
and has in quiet way amassed a
competence for his declining years,
which is praiseworthy. During all
these years he has not neglected tho
party to which be adheres, and
througha all its yicissitudes he has
stood nobly by it, and has never ask
ed or solicited any office. He has
cultivated his taste for reading, and
has been a careful observer of politi-
cal events, and whilst he does not
make any pretonsions to public
speaking, yet in a conversational
way he is a weary disputant, and is
fully alive to the corruptions, frauds
and stealings of the Republican par
ty. The people of Mason county
will honor themselves by eleyating
him to the position to which he has
been nominated by his party. That
he will be triumphantly elected, we
do not doubt, and it is conceded even
by his enemies, that in that event,
he will make, an honest, fearless,
faithful and efficient representative,
and will vote for gentlemen for the
senatorship who win reflect honor
and renown upon our State.

Hon. Gilbert c. Walker, of Virgin
ia, Chairman of the Committee on
Education and Labor, because no
Freedman swindles like Conway's
could pass his Committee, and be-
cause, a Northern man, he became
one of the people with whom he cast
his lot, and espoused the true inter
est of Virginia, instead ofplundoring,
like Plat and Wells. The Radicals
hate him with cordial hate, as the
embodiment of the real union of the
North and South. A Northern Dem
ocratic Governor of Il Southern State,
and Northern Democratic Represon-
tative of the Confederate capital
proves too much for The party whose
foundation is in eternal separation Of
North and South,

Thorough and complete organize
ton cannot be too strongly urged
upon the friends of reform, here and
elsewhere. Every days delay in
creases the difficulty in properly nc
complishing this work, and the soon
or it is accomplished the more effect
nal will be the results attained. In
this county this is as necessary as in
any other locality, and a fatal mis-
take may be made by noglecting this
labor, and relying too much upon the
mdoubtcd majority oftho Democrat
ic-Consorvativo party in tho county
and state. Tho way to victory is
through complete organization in
every election precinct; to block the
districts, to ascertain who are legal
voters, and to consolidate the conscr.
vativo vote in such way as to make
sure of its presence at the polls on
election day.

What you have to say about John
NJ. Phelps, falls quite harmless, as he
is about as well known as You are by
all the readers of the Register. How
over, if to be one of the Republican
party is enough to condemn it in the
eyes Of all good men, what ought to
be done with the party which elect
cd him in 1870, as a liberal Ropub-
lican to the Office of Secretary Of
StateY-Honitor
Why, his very candidacy on the
the Democratic ticket in 1870, came
near killing the party; and if he had
not left it when he did, the party
would have been deal, Now that he
has gone from it forever nothing
should be done with the party for
honoring him with the Office of Sec
rotary of State. The Office played
out and Phelps played out too.
Socially, and in business matters,
Mr. Willard is very clever gentle
man, but as q Radical politician he
is Il sooner.

the loom and banging away for hours
at a piece of checked flannel Tor winter

when they were girls like Us. 1t seems
to me that there was no place for deli

when 1 asked grandma what was done
with them, she said there were none,
and that, in her opinion, cooking stoves
have much to answer for in taking life
and health from our mothers and our
selves. But we know there was death,
and sickness preceding it, even in those
good old days, and cannot understand
how the sick could have been made
comfortable. Even the best room, if it
existed, would have been Spartanlike
in our ewes, so accustomed are we to
comforts and luxuries, even in humble
homes.
The work seemed to be all for the
strong, and there was little or none of
that light housework with which the
semi-sick of to-day amuse themselves,
and beguile their friends into the be-
lief that they are helping.
And as employments are necessary
to our happiness, 1 think 1t well for US,
weak sisters, that we live in the days

Statistician Dodge of the department
of agriculture reports the prospect Of q
reasonable degree of abundance in the
crops. The large area of last year in
corn is increased, and the prospect of a
good yield generally is favorable,
though its early growth in The North
west was slow, in consequence of cold
and wet weather and late planting.
Winter wheat has greatly improved in
the districts where winter-killing was
reported, making a good yield, and
guaranteeing surplus for export near
ly equal to that of the two preceding
years, unless the grain should be dam.

ordinary crop has been gatherd in Cali

In the Ohio valley the cropis not quite
an average. The Gulf States have q

rate of yield. The great spring wheat

Barley is in high condition on the

INFLUENCE.-The Sunday School
Times records the following: Said a
pastor in his midweek prayer meeting
not long ago, "The longer l live, the
more think that we know little about
influence, or who are to lie the infiuen-
tial people," From this starting point,
he impressed the value of any one soul
of every soul. Years ago, minister
was preaching one evening in his
church on Broadway, New York. A
young law student, jovial and genial,
but of great decision of character, heard
him, and was troubled in spirit. AS
the minister was walking home, he
heard some one behind him, coming up
eagerly to overtake him. 1t wBs this
impulsive, cultivated young law STU
dent, who said, 81 hesrd you preach
tonight, and l want to ask you more
about the way to be saved" As re-
suit, that man went from the law to the
ministry. He was Edwin n. Kirk.
He and the clergyman whose words
aroused him were afterwards pastors
Of churches side by side in Boston.
DIR. Kirk was the means of leading
thousands into the fold of Christ. He
was power in reaching college stu
dents. Among those. who were influ-
cnced by him in his Boston pastorate
wss a young man, by no means SO
promising convert, TO all human OBJ
servation, as was many student whom
he brought to the Saviour. But that
young man was Dwight l.. Moody.
Who can tell how much good he has
done in Chicago, Edinburg, Dublin,
London, Philadelphia, New York, and
a score more of cities? Who can say,
moreover, who of the converts gathered
through his agency shall be most infiu-
entail for the Master in the coming
years? 'sThou knowest not whether
shall prosper, either this or that, OF
whether they both shall be alike good.
