when 10 Sell.
rwri.ow~r

Every one who is engaged IN any
department of agriculture or manu-
facture Is supposed TO have frOm
time TO time something 10 sell or
exchange. On the disposition OF
this surplus depends the supply Of
articles that the persOn does not
raise, embracing all implements and
! improvements of every kind that
matter of moment that the sale OF
these things he made at the time
the best price, all considered, will
be obtained. Is 1t possible To be GER
tain of this time? In general, no.
There are many articles which con-
stitute exceptions. Those that can
not be conveniently preserved must,
of course, be thrown upon the mar
ket at once. Others are in demand
in certain seasons only, will be gov
erned by the season trade. Bat the
most common and valuable prod
ucts of human industry are always
i'm the market, and yet subject TO
frequent fluctuations in price. Such
are the leading products OF the farm
and most of the manufactures. As
to these no fixed rule can be given,
but the following suggestions will
commend themselves to the pru-
dent. One should keep himself inv
formed as to thestate Of the market,
especially In places accessible to him
and as far as practicable In places
whose trade affects directly his local
market. The best way to secure
this, is TO take and read good papers
that give not only the tabular mar
ket statements, but also intelligent
and impartial comments and cOun-
sells. When necessity compels one
less of prices; but in other cases, he
ought to govern himself consistently
by reasonable probabilities. Unless
in the face of a comparative GER
tainty that there will beno advance,
economy plainly fOrbids the dispOs-
al Of commodity at a price that Is
not more than IL cost TO produce.
cannot live on losses. A
certain farmer always made il
rule to sell everything he could
spare as soon as ii was In narketa-
be condition. He never made much
at one time, but he avoided all risks
)f rogues and fires, all injuries by
vermin and weather, all the trouble
md expense of protracted storage,
Ill the reduction Of Ofshrlnkageand ac-
.idental waste; and he WAS receiV-
ng money now and then through
he year. ...
1t is safe advice to say that every
,ne should be content to sell at a
profit. TO wait for very
arge prices Is dangerous policy, and
specially as to the necessaries of
ife, very bad morals. What man
must have his fellow-nan should
De willing TO furnish at rates that

should never violate the
Of magnanimity and true
harity.

THERE is a Northern Methodist

THERE is a Northern Methodist
preacher in Atlanta, Ga., whose
great delight 1t seems to be to send
North the grossest misrepresenta-
tions of the Southern people. OF
him the New York Christian Advo-
cate says; "It would be dlfflcult to
stand enough politicians of the old
slavery type on the soil of Georgia
tocreate by their evidence the slight
est suspicion against him." That
is, the word of this adventurer is to
upset the testimony Of ten thous-
and, If the latter are Southern peo-
pie. If one of our worthless tramps
were to go to New York and write
back ugly things in regard to that
great State, we should not thrust
aside the counter testimony of even
two or three New Workers because
they were of the old anti-slavery
type. Religious Herald.

The annual term of the Supreme
Court of the United States com
mences on the 18th of October. Mr.
Justice Miller and Mr.. Justice
Strong are already in Washington
The first day the court will meet
and adjourn, and then pay respects
to the President. On the second
day the docket will be called, be-
ginning with number one. On the
same day, by special assignment,
there will be taken up for hearing
| the celebrated Virginia case, involv-
ing the right Of colored men to be
tried by jurieS of their own color.
AS is known, this case presents
most important features, involving
the constitutionality of the recon
There will be quite an array of legal
talent in the case, as among those
who will argue it will be the Attor-
ney-General of the United States
and the Acknowledgement of Vir-
ginia. Mr.. Justice Strong has set
for hearing on the same day before
the full bench the case of the Ohio
Election Judge, involving the con-
stitutionalitY of the election laws of
Congress. he record in this case
has just been received at the office
of the Clerk of the Supreme Court.
1t will be necessary for the counsel
in this case to move in open court

When the motion is made it is un-

case and set an early day for,the
hearing, as otherwise it could not
be reached during the next term.
AS has been stated, Chief Justice
Waite has also set the 14th day of
October for the hearing of the habeas
corpus cases of the Maryland Elec-
ton Judges. 1t may be that the
Chief Justice will also desire to hear
the Maryland cases in conjunction
with his associates, although he has
not, so far as is known here, given
any intimation to that effect. At
all events there is now the prospect
that before the ensuing term of the
court has terminated there will be
an authoritative decision as TO the

so heavily on large portion of the
country, and which it is no longer
concealed works only for the benefit
of the party, and not for the whole
people. The progress of the three
cases above referred to will, there
fore, be watched with much interest |
all over the country. 1t has been
an open secret that the Supreme |
Court has avoided, so far as was
possible, rendering opinions on the
political legislation of Congress, but |
the members of the tribunal have at |
last doubtless realized that the point |
must be met, sooner or later. 1t is
better that the question should be |
disposed of at this time, and in adj
of the next Presidential cleo
tiQn, and it will remove the source
of uRB0anded dissension and bitter
ness. The Virginia case, by reason
of the attitude of Judge Rives of
the United States District Court,
embraces points of vast magnitude, |
the right of the Federal
not only to imprisnn
State Judges for carrying out State
laws, but also the Governors of the |
States for executing the laws, and |
members of the Legislature for |
voting for those laws.

An Ex-COnfederafe ON the 'rhird
Term"


A Cincinnati reporter has been in
terviewing Maj. Gen. VIM. III. Pres
ton, of Kentucky, on the subject of
the Grant boom, with the following
result:
Ishould be sorry to see Gen. Grant
accept a third term," said Gen.
Preston, seriously. 81 think his
Judgment is against it, and ought to
be respected. His speech in Japan
on the subject did him great credit,
and his party should not set the bad
precedent of giving him another
nomination. The tendency would
be to q monarchy for life, or, to
what would be about the same
thing, reelection for life. Let it be
understood that a man can be re-
elected as often as he pleases, and
his aDpointees in office and follow
ers can easily manage things to nom
mate and elect him every time. 1t
might not be so with Gen. Grant or
in this generation, but it would
break down the rule established by
Washington, and observed by all
who have since occupied the Presi-
Dental chair, and ambitious men
might say in the future, Grant hav-
ing been reelected to a third term,
there is no reason why / might not
be reelected to a fourth or fifth.'
The result would soon be a Presi-
dent or a monarch for life. This is
one of the great dangers of our re-
public"

The Proposea mll.tary Law.

The following are the main points
in the proposed military law, which
was adopted by the convention
which assembled last January in
New York. Its discussion is one of
the principal objects of the militia
convention, which is in session in
st. Louis: 'The militia to embrace
every able-bodied citizen in the
States and Territories between the
ages of Is and 45, and that it be di-
vided into an active and inactive
class, the latter subject to the call of
the Legislature. The active militia
to be known as National Guard and
to receive aid under the act in pro-
portion of 700 men to each Congress
sional District. The organization
of this active militia to be pre-
scribed by the State Legislature,
conforming as much as possible to
that of the regular army. The
President of the United States to
appoint a board of two officers from
the regular army and five from the
active military to select suitable
uniforms and equipments. Each
State to provide suitable fatigue
uniform, but no full-dress uniform,
which can be supplied by various
companies themselves, if they SO
desire these uniforms to be exempt
from taxes and execution.
A board of seven officers from the
different sections to be appointed
by the President to prepare rules
for the government of the militia.
That 81 100000 per annum be APP
propriated to provide arms, etc., for
this active militia.
An Adiutant-General in each
State to be appointed to carry into
effect the established system of mil
itary discipline, who shall make an
annual report to the War Depart
ment.
Each State to equip and maintain
one rife range, and prize not to
exceed 800 in value to be given to
the regularly organized militia of
each State for excellency in rife
practice and a prize of 81 900 to be
given annually to the winning team
in an international rifle match, said
teams to be selected from the Ma
tional Guards,of each State. Section
10 provides that officers from the
regular army may be assigned to act
as officers of the active militia, and
such officers be paid according to
their rank, the pay not to exceed
that of a colonel in the regular SER
vice, with mileage to and from their
residences, provided that the aggre
gate does not exceed $4,000. One
annual encapment to last for five
consecutive days to be held In each
State. All acts inconsistent with
the foregoing to be repealed.
