"sESArORIAI..''

Last week we published an article
i'm the JOURNAL, GS on ndrrrt'Sc-
Jgcnt. which advocates the election of
Mr.. :. Woods Caldwell, the Green
back candidate for senator, Tor thei
district. We did not white The SAID
article. are in no way responsible Tor
what it says and published II only
as Il matter of OusineSs-Oeing pad
for il ut regular rates. We did not
think that it would do Mr.. AleXan-
der, our worthy Democratic candl-
date for Senator, any harm, and
least Of all did ii occur TO Us that
Ol0' position on the Senatorial ques-
tion could he misunderstood, rs the
said article was headed "Advertise.
mcnt," but more especially because
We had expressed our hearty support
OF Mr.. Alexander just the week be
fore. in the most unequivocal terms.
We have hut \ casual acqualnt-
ance with Mr.. Caldwell, thi-k he is
Z gentleman personally, but as q
Grcenhack candidate he certainly
has no claim on Democl otto votes.
We are assured too, that he is Il
CGm6rOnidn, and that alone should
deter every Democrat from voting
for him. no matter what else he may
or may not be.
MIR. Alexander deserves the full
est support Of The party if any can
didate on the ticket d0cs, and we
are satisfied that he will have it.

by Mr.. Ransley:

GENTLEMEN Your favor Of the

my return home Yesterday and |
hasten to reply. When the Record
er's bill WAS before the Senate | con.
sistehtly and earnestly opposed it, in
debate and bY ny votes, aud l re-
garded it ts such a Nagrant outrage
against the spirit if not the very let
ter of the Constitution. and against
all considerations of public policy
and the individual rights OF the oiti-
Zens of Philadelphia that [ felt con
strained to refuse my support to the
confirmation Of Recorder Quay. l
can only say that my record as a
Senator would be my record as Gov
ernOr of the State should I be called
to that important position, and no
legitimate and constitutional efforts
would be LETT untried on NY part to

ers are through with their crops
and some are anticipating a fine
rest, but there is not much time
for farmers to rest; for there is
always repairing enough to
keep them employed, yet his
is the most independent class,
for while he is resting his crops,
&C., are growing. Crops are
tolerably good in some portions
of the county and sorry in 9th
ers. We are needing rain very
badly. Reports say that por-
tons of Madison are distress
ingly dry. The general health
is tolerably good in our imme-
date neighborhood, but in 9th
ers adjoining there is a good
deal Of sickness. The fever is
raging in places and some at
tackled with sunstroke. The
weather has been unusually
warm for the past week and
those who have been blessed
with good health all the time,
should feel highly favored. We
have an abundance Of fruit.
This is the first general crop of
peaches we have had for seven
or eight years. Our public
schools are in progress, Of which
we may say more in the future.
Our candidates are ral!ying a.
round as though the weather
was ever so pleasant. We elect
a Governor, Representative, &C.,
in August. We can boast of
our tax-collcctor, Mr.. j. NJ.
Russell, Of Athens. He is bad
ly afflicted with rheumatism,
but his equal as a collector and
a genteel, clever man is hard to
lind, and his superior so far is
not in Limestone. He has col
lected the taxes here for four
teen years and we have never
heard any complaint as yet.
We give his report for last
year: The taxes for 1877 were
$4,000, and he collected all but
S42 Of the State and $21 Of the
county taxes, so you can say for
yourselves what you think of
him as a collector. We had the
pleasure to meet with your Cold
w alter correspondent H., re-
Gently. We are always glad TO
zee any one who lives in old
Lincoln. One Of the Cold Wa
Ter citizens, Mr.. j. w. Watson,
known to many, called and took
odging with lis a few nights
since. RESUME.
