HAYES TITLE.

However varied may be tho opiu'
ions concerning the validity Of
Hayes title to the Presidency is not
a question in tho minds Of either
Democrats or Republicans upon one
important: point, viz the unques-
tionsble right of DR.. Pierce's Family
Medicines TO the title of the Stan

CartersvilIe Express. A briei
word of congratulstion to the citi
zens of Marietta, and of Canton, and
to those of the counties beyond and
to President Phillips as well, on the
prospect he has Of sounding his
whistle 10 Canton, ere the suns Of
July shall be upon US again. Fa-
vorable reference, also to the an
nouncement in the columns of the
Constitution, the past week, of FIVE
hundred tons of rail delivered, nine
miles of track laid, and the strongest
iron company South Cherokee of
Polk county, running full blast on
the remainder--a sufficient guaran-
tee that Marietta, Canton and At,
lanta will soon be brought into close
neghborhood by rail of iron from
Georgia's own vast ore beds, equal
in life and last to the finest English
or American. A practical common
tary by the Marietta aud North
Georgia, worthy of note, building
road bed by jadicious use of convict
labor, while ironing track with ma
tive manufactured iron, furnished bs
the skill and capital of President
West, of the Cherokee Works,
large capitalist of sound views, and
one Of the first Of American iron
masters, driving with marked ability
the superior iron works of the State.

example now being achieved in the
building of this new railway, invite

sources, with proper application, also,

ECONOMY.

Economy is one of the chief du>
ties of state, as we'll as of an indi~
vidual. 1t is not only a great vir-
tue in itself, but it is the parent OF
many others. 1t preserves men and
nations from the commission Of
crime and the endurance of misery
The man that lives within his income
can be just, humane, charitable and
independent lie who lives beyond
it becomes, almost necessarily, rapa
cious, mean, faithless, contemplate.
The economist is easy and comfort
able; the prodigal harassed with
debts, an unable to obtain the neces
sary means of life. So it is with ma
tons. National character, as we'll
as national happiness, has, from the
beginning of the world to the press
ent day. been sacrificed on the altar
of profusion.

SHRINK NOT.

NEVER shrink from a woman of
strong sense. If she becomes att
tached to you, it will be from seeing
and valuing similar qualities in your
self. You may trust her, for she
knows the value of your confidence;
you may consult her, for she is able
to devise, and does so st once, with
the firmuess of reason and the con-
sideration of affection. Her love
will DO lasting, for it will not have
been lightly won it will be strong
and ardent, for weak minds are not
capable of the loftier grades of pas
sion. II you prefer attaching your
self to woman of feeble understand
iug, it must be either from fearing
to encounter a superior person, or
from the poor vanity of preferring
that admiration which springs from
ignorance, to that which approaches
to appreciation

A PERILOUs POSITION.

A young man near Houston, Tex.
had a most remarkable and unpleas-
ant experience few nights ago.
He was riding down the railroad
track in the darkness, when his horse
stumbled on the edge Of a eulvert
and threw him headIong. He fell
between the ties head formost, aud
his foot catching between the rail
and sill which lay beneath it, un~
der the cross>ties, he was suspended
by his ankle 10 mid-air. la this
perilous position he hang for two or
three hours, when be heard the rom
BILE of coming train. He became
almost frenzied, not knowing wheth y
err the weight of the train would
come upon his foot, but it pa sed
without injaring him, and, though
he shrieked wildly for help, the noise
of the cars drowned his voice. After
the train bad passed he halloed ell
the rest of the night, but nobody
heard him until morning, when he
was rescued from his perilous posi-
ton, more dead than alive, after
hanging head downward for ten
hours.

Nix Westwood of Mount Auburn,
Ohio, was worth So, 900 when his
first wife died. Her industry and
management had been to great ex>
teut the cause of his prosperity, and
he gratefully spent ST. 400 in putting
a monument over her grave. He
soon married again, aud his second
wife rapidly wasted his fortune un~
til he had no property left except the
monument. Acceding to the new
Mrs. Westwood's advice, he had it
removed to a marble yard, effaced
the inscription, and offered it for sale
at half its original coat.

FALSEHOOD.

Falsehood, is, indeed, on all &C
counts inexcuEable and can never
proceed but from some unworthy
principle-as cowardice, malice, or
a total contempt Of virtue and honor.
The difficulties it runs one into are
not to be numbered One lie re
quires ten others to support it, and
the failure of probability in one of
them ruius all. The pains necessa-
ry to pstch up plausible story, and
the racking of the memory to keep
always to the same circumstances in
representing things, and, after all it
is a thousand to one but the article
is detected. and then the unhappy
man is questioned as much when be
is sincere as when be dissembles; so
that he finds himself at full stop,
and can neither gain his ends W 18th
mankind by truth or fslsehood.

UNACCOUNTABLE
DISAPPEARANCE OF COL. HAEDEE.

On or about the Sth day Of Jan
uary last, Col. D. G. Hardec, a
prominent member Of the East Fe-
liciana Bar, and a gentleman h igh-
" respected by all who knew him,
went to New Orleans, on business.
From what we can learn, only one
letter was written back by him to
this place, after his reaching the
city. This was addressed to, and
filed Y tn affection for his wife, and
contained a statement Of his fiDan-
cial embarrassment and q dread to
again face his creditors. Since the
29th Of January, nothing whatever
has been heard from him, and his
family, relatives and the public
generally are distressed at the mys>
terry which it is Impossible to solve.
Col. Iardee was a good u,an, a
friend to the unfortunate and OPP
pressed, and our entire people deep
ly regret that he should have allow
ed his financial troubles TO 80 Sc
verely distress him. We have q
hope he will yet be heard from,
and that ere long he may again
move in our midst. His family and
relatives have our heartfelt sympa-
thy in their hour Of trial. Let
them however bear up under the
dread uncertainty. We feel that
all will yet be well. Patriot

THE FELICIANA SENTINEL.
THE CONVENTION,

The great question which is agitating
the public mind throughout tho State. is
Tho State debt. There is largo class Of
our people who believe that much of this
debt is of very doubtful character; in
deed, so doubtful was the legality of this
debt, that portion of it was bought up
at Is cts. on the dollar and by some no.
Gus pocus converted into State bonds,
and which bonds were afterwards funded,
and now form part Of the State debt,
tho interest of which VIC are &C present
not able to meet.
Wo speak knowingly when we state
that if OH investigation this state of facts
turns out to be true, tho people will re-
fuse to recognize it. The people are to
meet in their sovereign capacity shortly,
tr convention, aud he will Le bold del
egste who will venture to vote tag to
bay any debt created in fraud.
The fact is patent, and we need not at.
tempt to conceal the truth from the
world, tho people CT Louisiana demand a
reduction in taxes, no matter what the
consequences may be, nor will they per-
anti aEy increase in the assessment Of
property. In addition to this, the people
demaud that salaries shall Lc cut down,
anany useless offices abolished, and the
whole machinery Of State, city and par
ash governments administered in the
most economical manner.
After providing in a plain republican
manner for the administration Of eur
State affairs, then we have to provide
for public education. Tho education Of
our children is indispensable, or they will
ao5 be qualified to assume the RESPONSE
bilitics that will devolve upon them
whom this generation shall pass away.
having provided for free, universal
education, we have to furnish the means
TO maintain in all its usefulness the
great Charity Hospital, which is an asy.
lum for the sick, tie poor and the desti-
tute.
Provision must be made for the Insane
Asylum and for the deaf, the dumb and
the blind. These noble charitable 1nsti-
buttons, which do honor to the State and
honor to the ago III which we live, must
continue to shelter and care for those of
the human family whom God, in His in
finite wisdom, has seen proper to at1lict.
In addition to all this, our numerous
Orphan Homes must continue to be tho
recipients of tho State bounty.
After they have been provided for.
then second to these como the honest OBJ
legations in the shape of State debts. But
che man who believes that the bondhold
CTS have q higher claim than the great
Interests we have spoken of, is narrow
minded IN his craftsmanship, and mis-
ieople intend to guide their action
