Simple SOlOmOni

One day last week, says the North
Manchester (Ind) Courier, Solomon
Ullery, q prominent farmer of tina,
vicinity, had little bitter experience
with a patent hay-fork swindler.
Solomon signed paper which he
supposed was simply contract to act
as agent for the sale of the fork.
What Solomon In his ipnocence be-
lieved to be a contract was nothing
more than a prOmisory note, made
payable in bank for $1,000. Immedi-
ately after securing the note the swim
dler pushed on to Warsaw and sold it
to mote shaver" The chances are
that Solomon will have to pay 81 900
to learn a trick that he would have
been well acquainted with had his
name been on the subscription of
some live newspaper" To which
the Northern IndiGnidn adds: 1--WE
are sorry, but Solomon hasn't taken

The following is a synopsis of c
short speech recently made in Con,

and bristliDg with points:
The debate was opened by Mr.. Gar

ing points made at the present session
on the democratic side. These prop
osiIions were that there are no nation
al election F; that the United States
| have no votes that the states eXClu-
sively have the right TO control the
election Of members Of congress, and
that the senators and representatives.
are state officers, agents or embasa-
doris Ahat the United States have no
authority to keep peace within the
state, and have no peace" to keep;
that the United States is not a nation
but q cOufedeTacy of states, and final
ly, that il is sovereign. He declared
that these propositions constituted
body OF doctrine more extreme than
had ever been heard of before except
at the very crisis Of secession. He be-
lieyed those doctrines erroneous and
vicious, and he proceeded to lay down
anu 10 So port bs argument Coud-
ter-prOpOsition. Mr.. Garfield went
on to show the falIaey Of the idea that
states are sovereign, aud declared that
the question had been decided in the
negative not only by the supreme
court in long line of decisions. but
also by great arbitrations of war, but
that now it seemed that the question
Yves not to he allowed to stay settled,
for the people had been told recently !
in the south that the lost cause was
not lost; that the men who had fought
against the Union were not in con-
spiracv against il. In conclusion he |
predicted that the bill which has been !

about starting out on short, disas-
trous and igUOble voyage.

The Okolona Southern States thinks
the confederate brigadiers have done
well in Indicating Democratic policy
and principles but anticipates still q
better time after "our President takes
his seat" That paper rejoices over the
present and the hattering prospects
for the future, as follows:
We like the snap and Jingle of the
speeches that "a majority of our Con-
tederate brigadiers have made in the
present Congress. They will do to a
dot, as far a. they go, but they hardly
20 far enough. They leave little too
much to be underBtood by intuition.
But wait till cur president takes his
seat in 1881. The way that the capl-
tOl will then ring and reverberate
with Okolona melodies will be n csu-
ton TO Lincoln blacklogs and south
eTn scatter-breeds.
There occasionally may esfound a
Democrat that will deny that the
Okolona Miss. Southern States re-
fleets democratic principles, and that
that party should not be held responsl-
ble forit abGoXious utterances. All we
have to say to such is that they know
better, and are ashamed of the candor
of one of their leading organs, or are
blind, misguided fools. Where do
they go for true democratic doctrine
if not to their Mississippi organ :?
To the Democrats In Congress? Ger
tainly not, because the States indorses
the utterances OF those hrigadieTs. O,
It's from the Northern Democratic
statesmen and newspapers that they
draw their political nouTishment, is
it? That will not do, by any rule Of
consistency, for not one of those
NC.thern Democrats In Congress has
ever yet been observed to frantically
Jump to his feet and denounce, an
swer, or take issue with his Southern
brother, however reasonable the ut
terances that fell from that Southern
brothers. lips. And the Democratic
newspapers-shOwu us one that is ad-
vocating different doctrine from that
of their more honest and courageous
Southern brethren. They do not go
so far, or elaborate so extensively In
advocacy of the doctrine that "this is
not a nation" but a confedeTacy OF
little sovereignties, as do the South
ern wing Of the party, yet they go as
far as they dare or have the candor
or honesty to 90, and carry out their
line of policy in deceiving, hoodwink-
ing, the privates of the Democratic ar
my, from whence the votes and sue
cess of the party must come. These
are facts that are obvious to every ob
servant, candid man. that the leaders
of the Democratic party North and
South, are ell the same In principle,
companion links of the same sausage,
working for the same results.
