meat market establishment in which
he has been all employee.
The action of the town at it's late
March meeting is worthy of notice
in one, or two instances. Hon. b
Martin, who had faithfully served
the town astown clerk for five years,
failed of reelection, and for no
apparent and good reason. 1t was
evidently brought about by fac.

favor of wholesome law and good

plotted his defeat. had the friends
vt temperance been aware of the
plot, he result. 10 doubt would
have been otherwise. However, we
think no reflections should be cast
upon his successor, A. S. Austin.
He is II young man, and a straight
temperance man. He comes to he
office with the full confidence of the
people in his integrity, and ability
to discharge the duties of the Office.

The Supreme Court adjourned on
Friday last, having been in session
four days. The case of the State

"a bold, daring game for very high

going to be President himself. He
went into Office with the promise
that he would reform the civil ser.

MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT OF TIE SOUTH.
The material developcment of that section
of the country has been arrested by the social
and political revolution through which it has
passed. and now needs and deserves the con

within the just limits prescribed by the con-
>titution and wise public economy; but at
the basis of all prosperity for that us well as
for every other part of the country, lies the
Improvement of the intellectual and moral
condition of the people. Universal suiieragc
should rest upon univ crsal education. 10
this cud liberal and permanent provision
should be made for the support of free schools
by the State government, and il need be sup
pIementcd by legitimate aid from national
authority.
