TERMS $500 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE

Our only enemies are those who have been
discharged from the rebel armies and who are
still undaunted by their defeat, but filed with
longing for revenge. They alone are the enc
mics OF this country; they alone peril its fu-
ture. Shall we yield our rights to those
men who come up from a section lately
thlrsting for our lives and plotting our ami
hllation, whose lips are yet trembling with
the oath OF perjury? We must conquer them,
This is the victory we must win. and which
once won we must hold firmly and forever

The examination of the Shelley -Harralson
contested election case by the House elec.
tions committee has exposed some of the
methods by which Shelley, Democrat, se-
cured his election in Alabama over Harral-
son, colored Republican. There was read
before the committee paper signed by Mr..
Harralson, in which he acknowledged that
in public speech he had made a statement
which was utterly false, and that he did it to
prevent Democrats from voting for Shelley.
The chairman asked Harralson "why he
signed that paper" Harralson replied: "You
would have signed it, too. You see it was
ii O'Clock at night, and was in Gen. Shell
ley's room; he had two pistols, aud his dep
uty sheriff had two more; and il ever you
did see scared black man, | was one. You
know white folks knows how to scare niggers
anyhow" As Shelley is Democrat, he will
OF course retain his seat in spite of this in
timidation.

Gen. Sam Gary, he of the Cooper and Cary
ticket in 1876, says that the reason why the
premium on gold has declined is that nobody
wants it anyway. About four times as many
greenbacks as we have now is Cary's idea of
what we need to make us financially happy,
but by that time he would find gold in some
demand. Finance doesn't seem to be Gen.
Sans "forte," as A. Ward used to say.
General Grant disgusted the keeperess of
Shakspere's house, because on his visit there,
he didn't froth at the mouth and gush and
rave and spout carefully crammed passages of

more and more convinced that General Grant
is the most sensible person in the world, and
would make even better President next time

Coleman, the superintendent of the Western
Union office in Memphis. He was gawky
boy, about Is or 10, and was reading everything
about electricity that he could pick up He

excitement. He had got into his head the idea
OF sending duplex dispatches, and all his spare
time was devoted to experiments in the office.
Coleman stood it for some time but at last be-
gan to growl. He allowed that Tom was crazy,

that wire can't be worked both ways at the

him for the place, vouching for him as first
