Taavannah Recorder.l

We are for respecting ourselves at ell times
and under all circumstances. The South never
intends to submit to be called traitors or
rebels, nor does she intend passively to let
history declare the late civil war one Of trea.
son or rebellion. Words mean something, and
we are determined as Southern people that
the late war shall have significant express
sion and meaning-"a civil wal, ia war be-
tween the States, but never rebellion. Eight
million Of men do not u republic rebel; nor or
prisoners, be called q war Of treason or re-
bellion; or traitor, In which no one was tried
for treason. Words carry with them an enun-
citation OF principles.

the seat in the hind part of the wagon,

Being Sherman's State it is natural
the Secretary should lead, although
there are some localities in which
Blaine is somewhat ahead. OF near
ly seven hundred returns Sherman
had 377; Blaine los; Grant, 90; Gar
field, IA; Hayes, IL, and Washburne
Is, with the remainder scattering.
If there are any sections of the coun-
try where Grant leads they have
been overlooked in the industrious
canvass for sentiment that has been
in progress for several weeks.
The cold weather they have been
having on the Pacific coast is with
out known precedent. In the Bon
ANA mines, which are so intolera-
bly, hot, water froze six hundred
feet below the surface. In private
houses water pipes burst, even when
the fires were all burning by which
the place could be warmed. Out of
doors all but spirit Thermometers
quit work as beneath their notice.
The mercury fell even lower than
the mining stocks. Telegraph wires
snapped by the contraction in the
