Assuming that the Southern people ought
to ray the penalties incident to the failure
of their rebellious schemes, it does not fol-
low that carpet-bag robbery properly belongs
to the list, and this is now all the more ap-
parent sincs some of the penalties are likely
to fall upon those who invested their money
IN bonds, the existence of which was the re-
suit of the most fragrant villainy that was
ever visited upon any people. The situa-
ton of Tennessee forcibly illustrates the de-
basing influence of Republican rule, and it
is to be feared that before the country can
regain its financial and business vigor we
shall be called upon to record delinquencies
more deplorable than any that have hitherto

Dukes, an old citizen, died at the residence of
his son, a. n. Dukes.
News was received here this morning that
Herman Stearn was dead. He had been in
Cincinnati for some time, seeking medical
advice. He was the principal owner of the
celebrated Peru Wooden mills, and his death
has depressing effect upon the community.
On Saturday night the gift concert given in
aid of Zene's Cornet band came Off in Concord
Hall, which was full to overlooking of the
beauty and intelligence of the city. The
drawing was preceded by concert of rare
excellence. All the tickets were sold, and the
band has realized quite a sum of money. The
prizes ranged from a bedroom set of furniture
down to horse blanket; all quite nice, but
inexpensive.
The Wabash river is again frozen over and
navigation is closed.
One of the attractions of Tom Ream's gro
Gerry is young opossum, for which he has
been offered tempting prices by nearly every
Niger in town.
New maple sugar is beginning to come to
town, as is also sassafras loot.
We understand that Hon. Jason b. Brown is
going to locate in Peru and practice law, and
run for Congress, If we are lucky enough to be
in Democratic district. The Democrats of
this county don't want to be tackled to How

chances with Fulton or Cass.

WE hear much nowadays about q solid

such a condition of thought and opinion
to.nor sympathize with those who deplore
what they are pleased to style "solid
South To-day the South" is solid in
Its loyalty TO the constitution of the county,
including the late amendments. 1t is not
fomenting strife. 1t is planning no schemes
of anarchy or discord. Loyal
to every principle of Democratic
government and republican institutions. the
South Is massing its energies-physical and
intellectual-for the rights of the people and
the dignity of the States. 1t is solid against
despotism, fanaticism and humiliation. de-
manding tine rights and privileges accorded
by the constitution and enjoyed by other
sections 1t pleads the cause of human
progress, in which all honorable men sympa-
thize, and in the solidity of its protests
against oppression the South is entitled to
the applause of the world. solid
South, aside from such considerations,
has no significance whatever. It is no
longer solid for war or rebellion. 1t is, on
the contrary solid for union and fraternity
"a union of hearts aud union of hands
lakes, rivers aud lands; and with this union it
demands that it shall stand emancipateG ana
