Jim Blaine's election resolution
to stir up the Southern monkey got
the Democrats into King Causus.
For once in long time the Demo.
Gratis acted with sagacity and rea
son and Mr. Blaine will probably
have his tail feathers plucked if he
invites a sectional controversy. 1t
was decided to vote for the resolu-
ton, but with sn amendment which
the Republicans cannot decline
that is, to extend the inquiry to the
North also in probing for election
frauds. Some say that this is real
ly what Blaine wants. The Demo
ciats say they will pass his resolu-
ton without debate oR their part,
and that if Blaine wants t. rant, let
him beat the thin air until he is eX-
hausted or sunstruck. II they adj
here to this determination, any bile
be lets Oh will fall fiat, and in the
end work TO his own discontinue.

And Better Still.

Almost everybody knows the high
value OF the american AgricuIturist, a
journal that has just complicated its 37th
successful year. 1t is large, beautiful
journal, full of plain, practical, reliable,
most useful Information, for every mar,
woman and child. 1t prints every year
700 to 500 original Engravings of labor
saving. labor-helping contrivances,m many
of them homemade; also of animals,
plants, construction of buildings, etc.,
etc. The American Agriculturtst also
constantly publishes exposures of the
various humbugs and swindlers that
prey upon the people with their artful
schemes. These exposures save tens of
thousands ofdollars to its readers every
year.
With all its splendid features, and an
outlay of over $4,000 a year in
collecting and preparing information,
engravings, etc., the circulation is so
large that it is supplied to subscribers
postpaid, for only 81 80 each year.

While the Radical organs are
calling upon the Almighty to rain
fire and birthstone upon the South
ern Democrats for their success in
carrying the recent elections, it is
in VAIN for the Radical party to at
tempt TO cover its crimes by max
ing unsustained charges against the
Democrats. Certain deeds of that
party will not be forgotten. 1t has
dominated the civil by the military
power; it has destroyed the legisla
tive halls of sovereign States the
chosen representatives of the peo-
pie; it has stolen the Office of the
President Of the United States; it
has stolen the money of the people;
it has used the public money to
keep itself in power. Thus be-
smirched, the corrupt faction has
the impudence TO ask for an extern
sion of power Courier-JournaL

IN a Nutshell.

The matter of the cipher dis
patches an q Lutshell. Republican
rascals had the Presidency for sale.
The price they asked was g feast
BILE one. The offer was made to
T1lden's friends. Money was at
command if they had been disposed
to trade. The proffer was rejected.
The infamous brokers then sought
Hayes friends. With them they
were successful. Hayes was seat
ed. Every mothers son engaged
in the wickedness was rewarded
with a fat office. Tllden's virtue, if
he knew anything of what was go
ing on, stood the test. Hayes
didn't. That is all there is Of it.

The Texas and Pacific Railroad
Before the New Orleans
Commercial Convention.

Montgomery Advertiser and Mail
The late commercial convention
held at New Orleans, in point of
numbers and the distinguished
character of its delegates, was one
OF the most notable non-political
gatherings ever held in the South.
Over twenty five States were repre-
scented by from four to five hun
dred delegates. Among the series
OF resolutions adopted, in favor of a
Southern trans continental railway,
was the following in regard to the
Texas and Pacific:
ReSoLVed, l. That this convention
recommend and urge upon Con
gress to take immediate favorable
action on said bill, to the end that
the Texas Pacific road may be con-
structed at the earliest possible
moment, and that competition by
an independent competitive line
of railway may be secured: and
that the labor and manufacturing
interests of the country may be
stimulated.
These resolutions, as we learn
from the Times, with the exception
of three votes, were unanimously
adopted by the convention. Among
the distinguished gentlemen who
advocated this resolution was the
Hon. Jefferson Davis; he spoke in
regard to the advantages of a Pa
cific railroad running along the 32d
parallel of latitude; be pointed out
that although the route from Fort
Worth to San Diego was through a
very poor country, yet lateral roads
would be built from Mexico and
rich portions of country, such as
Sonora, from which places the sill
yer from the rich mines would
come in abundance, and then "we
can coin, you know, as many as we
please of the dollars of our dad
dies" Applause.

A Washington dispatch says
The prominent Greenbaekers who
are here in convention have decided
10 urge the passage of 8 bill drawn
up and to be presented by Judge
Kelley, of Philadelphia, entitled an
act to facilitate the resumption of
specie payments. The bill, in
short, provides that the Secretary
of the Treasury shall resume at all
of the sub-treasuries, instead of the
New York Treasury, alone as pro
vided in the Resumption act The
Greenbsckers say that il resump-
tion is TO be tried, they want the
trial TO be one to some purpose.

The Silver Dollar.

AS many of our readers do not
know just now which are the "good
silver dollars" we will try TO ex-
plain:
BY the act o: Congress, passed
February 2S, 1878, the standard sill
yer dollars was made a legal tender
for all debts and dues, public and
private, except when otherwise eX-
pressly stipulated by contract. I'm
der the law as it existed prior to
the passage of that act, the snbsidi-
airy silver coinage which embraces
the half dollars, quarter dollars and
dimes, is a legal tender for any
amount not exceeding five dollars.
The trade dollar is not a legal ten
der, neither are Mexican dollars
nor other foreign coin.

And Still Better.

The publishers of the American Agri-
culturist have secured Marshall's new
large, magnificent STEEL PLATE
''THE FARMERS PRIDE" one of the fin
est works of this great artist, whose pic
lures OF Washington and Lincoln are OF
world wide reputation. So fine is this
new work that Mr.. Marshall received
$4,000 for engraving the steel plate
alone, 1t was so highly valued that
thirty good judges SUBSCRIBED $50 each
for thirty copies OF the first or artist
proofs, and no copy of the picture can
be bought for less than $500.
But the publishers of the american
AgrtcaIturist have just secured the
Plate, and having large facilities for
multiplying it, they propose to present
this Splendid engraving, on, fine Plate

This, from the Washington Capt.
tai, is very correct in whole and in
detail "The representatives sent
from the South, since the Republi
can rule of carpet baggers and bay
onets has ended, are of such sort
as to convince the unprejudiced
people of the North that, if we are
to Judge of the tree by the fruit, in
accordance with Divine precept, the
change has been most blessed and
beautiful. The gang of stupid,
mercenary rogues has given place
to gentlemen of ability and culture,
and instead of shame mantling the
check of the patriot at a roll call of
ignorant negroes and low, dishonest
whites upon the floors of Congress,
we have from end tC end of the
conquered country a representation
of men who are feared by the Re
publican party, not because of a
solid South, but for the fact that 1t
is made up of the courage, intellect
and honor which entities it to lead
ership."

In the Torbet money suit before
the u. :. Supreme court, there was
no proof that 1t was issued for
war purposes. Hence the decision
that it was receivable for taxes.
Another suit might bring out this
proof and defeat the holders of the
new Issue at last. 1t is held now
that the late decision affects only
the specific amount involved in that
particular suit.

\ Change of Public Opinion

In the history of all systems of IL
nance connected with raising a revenue
for public purposes, history works In a
circle. The tide seems setting strong
in public opinion in favor of honestly
msnaged. properly conducted lotteries,
such as the Louisiana State i.ss'ttitery, or
eaniZed in 1868, for Educational ana
Charitable purposes. The scheme of
fered for the next drawing Is extraorli-
narily liberal. The price OF tickets,
only two dollars, gives every one a
chance to win 1000, or less sum.

Congress.

Nothing has yet been done by
Congress. The Republicans are en-
deavoring to get up the bloody
shirt, but the Democrats are en-
deavoring seemingly to avoid polit-
ical discussion as much as possible.
No effort has been made to repeal
the resumption act, and probably
will not be. 1t is too late The
appropriation bills are ready for
consideration, and these, with the
currency question in its various
forms. will occupy the attention of
Congress more than any other mat
tiers. We might print a column or
Two of speculation as TO the action
of congress on various questions,
but this would make our readers
none the wiser, and hence we prefer
