A ST. LOUIS special of Tuesday
saws: "The steamer John B. Maude
arrived from Vicksburg this after
noon with one hundred more cOlOred
refugees. They are poverty-stricken
and mostly sick, and will not be
able to move to the promised land
in Kansas, and promise to become
fearful burden upon their colored
brethren here, and later on, when
the funds of the latter give out, upon
the city. Further arrivals are eX-
pected tomorrow and Thursday.

HERE'S the whole thing in a nut
shell: "Hayes is President. When
a bill comes to him, passed by the
two chambers, he he has but TWO
questions to decide in signing it. Is
this legislation constitutional? Is
it wise? If it is unconstitutional,
that settles the fate of the bill. If it
is unwise the veto power is to be
exerted only in extreme cases, but
its use is discretionary with the
President. He is the Judge, When
the army bill reaches the President
II will Contain general legislation
prohibiting the presence of troops at
the polls. This does not make the
bill unconstitutional. Such bills
have become laws by the signature
of the Executive since the founda-
ton of the Governments" So says
the Springfield Mass Republican
and so will say every fair-mlnded
man, no matter what his politics.

THE Nashville American says:
'eThe example of Georgia is one
which commends itself to Tennes-
see. When this State fully realizes
and manifests to the world that its
obligations are subsisting, irrevOc--
able and to be dealt with in accord !.
ance with the most enlightened
financial policy, it will be in order
to negotiate small bonds, whlch
will keep the interest to be paid on
our public debt at home, instead OF
going abroad. If financial wisdom
had dictated our course, instead OF
financial folly, we might now have
our debt in small bonds, large
portion of it held at home"

A gentleman, travelling with Gen.
Grant, writes home that the General
saws that he will not be candidate
for President under any circum-
stances. He is aware that his name
is freely used in the American pa
ners in that connection, but not in a
way he thinks at present justifies
him i'm making a public declaration
of his intention. When the time
comes, as this gentleman believes,
ha will decline in such a way that
there may be no installing his
meaning. The General tells this
Gentleman that he does not want to
Te-enter public life, and that he will
decline a nomination to any pubic
Office. and that he will make his
intentions fully known upon his re-
turn to America, but at present does
not wish to publicly decline that
which has not been authoritatively
offered.

More Facts for the People"

One fact is worth thousand arguments
The last levy Of the Republicans in this
county for the year 1867, was 40 cents on
the 500, without the school tax, which
was not levied until 1869. Deduct from
the levy Of the present year, $50 cents on
the 500, for all county purpOses) IL cts.
for public schools, and it will be seen that
only 80 cents remain. The Democratic
levy for county purposes, in 1879, is there
fore cents less than the Republican levy
for 1867. Tax payers Of Carroll county,
bear this fact in mind whenever the Re.
publicans talk to you of county expendi-
lures.

In Justice to myself feel it duty inenm.
bent upon me to publicly state, that notice
through the proceedings Of the Republican
County Convention, published in the Ameri-
can Sentinel, that my name appears in said
proceedings as having received six votes for
County Treasurer. | have also been credibly
informed that my name was regularly put in
nomination with others for said position.
While | sincerely return my unfeigned thanks
to the six gentlemen who cast their votes for
me, deeply and sensibly feel the sting of in.
justice which have received at the hands of
said Convention. | also feel it TO be due my.
self to embrace this as a suitable medium TO
make known TO my friends aud the general
public that ! was not in Westminster on the
day said Convention was held.
Furthermore, will state that my name was
used and placed in nomination for said posi-
ton without my consent or knowledge. lam

ing and using my name without my knowl-
edge and consent, as aforesaid, it was in
manner totally deserted, without friend or

both convention and upon the public streets,
by few spotless demagogues who are ms pure

in conformity with the true, yea pure, unde.
