The Cincinnati Gazette, edited by
Deacon Smith, has been bowling
hate and belching ISLANDERS upon the
South for years, manufacturing lies
and exaggerating truths to show the
South as hot bed Of ruffianism and
lawlessness. The great Courier
journal has corrected, remon strated
and argued, but TO no effect; until
recently it carried the war across
the Ohio and commenced to show up
the crimes committed right under
the Deaco1's nose, and to which he
paid not the slightest attention. On
Saturday it issued a supplement
with one of it's mammoth pages
completely filed with Ohio murders
and all manner Of devilish crimes
the record of only twelve days as
taken from Ohio papers. 1t is ire
mendously appalling. 1t was all
surm ounted by a cartoon of the
Deacon standing upon an elevated
platform and looking over into Ken
lucky through a telescope, while all
about and around him human devils
are pictured in the preparation of
all manner of barbarities, cruelties,
and lawlessness. The picture is
sustained by the proof, which is
given under the following fearful
but truthful headings:

Spoford VS.. Kellogg.

A Washington Dispatch dated
June IL, says:
The wholesale lying in the Spot
fora Kellogg contest continues, but
it mas lost it's novelty because each
succeeding witness seems to be am
bilious only to outlie those who
preceded him. Kellogg received a
telegram stating that a troupe of
seven swearers left New Orleans on
Sunday night and are expected
here this morning. They will be
ready for the first performance
Monday on their arrival, but it is
impo ssible to predict exactly in
what role, whether for Kellogg or
Spofford they will appear. Two
additional performers for Spofford
left New Orleans last night in
charge of a special messenger, who
is to insure that they essay a Spot
ford role, but doubts are entertain
ed as to exactly how stable the
special messenger himself is.
What the Nashville Banner has
to say:
When Mr.. Spoford undertook to
contest for seat in the Senate, we
doubt not he felt confident of sue
cess. His case was well braced by
af1idavits from a number of Rsdi
Gals who bad participated in Kel
logg's election. These affidavits
proved positive bribery upon the
notorious fraud who has so abused
the patience of the people of Louis
lana by his hateful presence in
places that should DE occupied only
by honest and capable men.
When kellogg learned that Spot
ford had furnished the investiga-
ting committee names of witnesses
that he desired to have subp@naed,
he insisted that they should be dis
closed to him i'll order that he
might be able to have others to re-
but their testimony. His object in
wishing to get his information is
now apparent. These very rascals
who voted for Kellogg and who
made solemn affidavits that they
were paid by Kellogg for their
votes, have now. sworn before the
committe that the affidavits they
had already made were false; that
they lied when they made oath to
them and that they were new
er bribed at all. Two Of them have
been arrested for perjury and ere
now out on bail to answer indict-
ments. 1t is evident from the
small amount of bail fixed by the
Judge, a carpet Dagger from Maine,
and from other indications, that
the Kelloggites mean, if possible,
to have these Iself-confessed scamps.

bright young mulatto, who voted
for Kellogg, and got $3.50, if his
affidavit Is true, swore he had
sworn falsely in his affidavit and
that he loved to tell 50 social lie
now and then"

What is Bulldczingi

-. johnson, Kellogg's witness, was
recalled and said that when he was be-
fore the committe the other day he had
the headache and was butAdoZed. He did
not swear to the affidavit over ais name
1t was read TO him in mixed French and
English.
Q.-You did not tell us that the other
day. =.
A.-You intimidated me. l don't
feel SO we'll as | might, but my head
don't ache so bad. l was bulldozed
when l was sick here the other day.
This illustrates the infamous
charges OF bulldozipg and Intimida-
ton that are continually made by
scoundrels at the South. This per
iurer was caught ~ his villainy and
when Spofford's counsel cornered
him in legitimate way he called it
bulldozing because. he was com
PEELED to answer. Nine hundred
and ninety nine out of every thou
sand alleged bulldozings amount to
Just about this. The negroes, es.
peciallv in Louisiana, have been
Taught by their radical masters that
they have an insuperabie right TO
lie and sEeal and depredate as much
as they please. and when officers OF
the Law or honest men catch up
with them in thetv FAscality they
call It bulldozing 1t is absolutely
disgraceful that there can he found

Not the Right Way.

Manchester Guardian: The edi-
tor of the Franklin Review and
Journal, one of the very papers that
oppose the 50-4 compromise. is
very bitter against Gov. Marks, Col
CoIvar, the Nashville Banner and
American, and. in fact against
every body that iavors the meas
ure. He calls it lob and a fraud"
"an ubiquitous and fraudulent 90 4
farce" "a Marks Colyar-Railroad
Scheme" and fills his colnms with
all sorts of paragraphs in ridicnle
of everybody and everything con-
nected with it. 1t may oe that this
is the proper way to give light and
information 10 the people on a
question OF such vital importance
to their welfare, but We fail To see 1t
in that way, and 1t is a matter OF
pleasure to us that there are so few
newspapers that are indnlglng In
this sort of augmentation. The
times demand COO, calm, dispassion-
ate reasoning, not jibes, sneers, and
ridicule.

New Orleans Times: "Governor
Drew, OF Florida, has handsomely
improved farm of sixty thousand
acres near Ellavilie, and employs four
hundred men in cutting logs and
saving them into lumber. His en-

tramway eight miles in length into

conveyed by it to his mill. When
the trees are exhausted on this

At the National Capitol.

The gifted Washington Cores
pendent of the Nashville American,
Harpeth, under date of June II,
speaks of several Giles countians
as beeiDg in the National Capitol,
as follows:
Nrs. Spofford, the accomplished
wife of Senator Spofford, is here
1t is widely known that she is one
of the most intellectual ladies OF
the South, and is a resident OF
Pulaski, and the only child of the
late Col Thomas Martin of that
place.
Jno. 5, Park, Jr., second son OF
DIR. j. S. Park, of Franklin, will be
one of the graduating class at West
Point. He was appointed by the
Hon. w. G. Whitthorne, and will
take high rank among the alumni
of that famous school. Gen. Whit
thorne has appointed Tyree Rhodes
Rivers, son of Mr.. William Rivers,
of Giles county, to fill the vacancy
created by the honorable graduation
of Mr., Park. Young Rivers moth
er is a sister of the late Capt. VIM.
Flournoy, who died some months
since during a heated contest for
the ounty Court Clerkship of
Giles county. 1t will be remem
bered that Capt. Flournoy's father
in-law, Mr.. p. EzeIl, was nominated
few days before the election in the
place of his son-in law, and was
elected. 1t IS thought that young
Rivers will be here in a few days on
his way to West Point. Mr.. Henry
Ballantine, son of Col. John Bal
lantine, of Giles county, was at the
Capitol few days since from the
Naval School at Annapolis, to
which he was appointed by Gen.
WhItthorne. He is handsome
young fellow and manly as he can
be, and will make his mark in the
naVV.

Martin College.

Very Unexpectedly to us we were
called. some 6 months since, from
the principalship of Dallas Female
College, Texas, to the management
of this Institution. 1t may be
asked why we left Texas. The
school was in a fourishing condi-
ton so far as pupils were con-
cerned. By using the zeal and
energy common to average men
we added to the school there the
first year fifty odd young ladies and
girls above the maximum number
of our predecessor. Then 1t was
not repulsion at that end of the
line, but attraction at this, that
caused the change of base. We are
here by invitation of the Board of
Trustees and from choice.
We are in charge of Martin Col
lege for term of years, and while
we hope to liUs by our labor, we
also very much desire to make the
school blessing to the community
and the county. We reached the
school in mid-session, preeipitated
as it were into the position in the
midst of all the demoralizing scenes
incident to a change of administra
ton, and having to compress within
the compass of days the work OF
months. We literally pitched our
tents at Martin College on Saturday
and went to work on the following
Monday, ready or not ready. And
thus it is we have been hampered
and hindered throughout the term
But amid these untoward surround
ings we have worked and impro-
vised, and as we trust, come to the
close of the session in reasonably
good order. We can promise better
things in the future.
We issue a catalogue this week
embracing the operations of the
present five months only. and we
ask of thoughtful, discriminating
public fair and friendly considera
ton of its contents. In this cata.
logue are set forth the ends aimed
at by the school, and the regula-
lations by which these ends are
sought to be reached. We pub
lish course of study with such
gradations as to textbooks, and
such adaptness to the age and the
progressive development of pupils
as shall best conserve to the inter
ests of education and promote in
our pupils healthfuI intellectual
growth.
Finally, we intend to keep good
teachers; we intend to do GOO d
teaching; we intend to perfect and
maintain order in the school. In a
word, we have inaugurated and we
expect to reach a systematic organ
ization, both in the matter OF dis
cipline and instruction, and with
the divine blessing and your proper
encouragement, we in3end to have
a school for females in Pulaski
which no young lady shall need to
pass who is in search Of a sound,
practical, thorough education.
We put the school upon its merits
yes, its merits. There let it stand.
Deal with it as it shall deserve. If
it is worthy, foster and sustain 1t
by word and deed; if not worthy.
let it suOside as it ought to do

Mr.. Childs, of the Philadelphia
Ledger, General GraDt's most init
mate friend, in recent converse
tion with New York Tribune cor
respondent, said that he was conf
dent the ex Presid ent had no polit-
ical plans. Speaking of the pro
iected excursion to San Francisco
TO meet the ex President on his re-
turn, he also said that none Of
General Grants personal friends
are in an way concerned in it or
take the slightest interest in it.
The affair, he added, is evidently
business speculation, gotten up
by individuals who hope 10 make
some money cut of the interest felt
10y the public in General Grants
return. They are no doubt aided
by the railroad companies, who
would naturally he glad to get the
profits on heavy excursion bust
ness. Mr.. Guilds said there will be
undoubtedly handsome reception
rendered to General Grant by the
city of San Francisco, and a few
DeTsonal friends will cross the con
,tinens to take part in welcoming
him, but their trip will be private
affair without the slightest political
significance.

Atlanta Constitution: From the

we are on the threshold of a pros
perity more brilliant than that OF
She past, and likely to be- more en-

quarters of the South come the glad
tidings Of increased acreage and
increased fertility. The cereal crop
is likely to be larger than that OF
last year. 1t IS apparent that the
southern people are doing more
thar usual for their own feeding,
and at the same time will have more
of their great staple for export.

A despatch from London dated
10th says: Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage
preached, on Sunday, at Islandton
Presbyterian Church, Colebroke
Road, to tremendous congrega-

American preacher. A dense crowd
bIockaded the streets leading to
the church. The enthusiasm was
immense. Half a mile before the
PRESBYTERIAN Church was reached
the carriage of the reverend gentle
man was lifted from the ground
and carried bodily to the church.
