During the coming Presidential
year, the DAILY CHRONICLE will
take an active part in the vigorous
discussions of all political issues
involved, and will, al the same
time, keep its readers fully posted
on all the important events Of the
day. 1t will do whatever is honest
and legitimate to promote the sue

placing fidelity to the interests Of
that party above any personal aims
or privata ambition. To this end
it will favor the selection of good
men with clear records, per-
sonal and political, for standard
bearers in the coming canvass, and
when such are selected, it win do
everything reasonable to secure
their success. ,s.'f.. " i.IF aa5
In State politics, the CHRONICLE
will support no man for any office,
from Governor down to constable,
who is not in favor Of paying the
State debt upon terms satisfactory
to the creditors Of the State. 1t
will oppose the efforts of repudia-
tionists to drag the entire State
down to their low and degraded
standard, first, last and all the time,
and even though the repudiationists
should be successful, it will continue
to denounce them and their infas
nous schemes. i.' ''..iA

There is some feeling between
Arthur and Garfield, due to the
fact that the former neglected to
visit him, as English did with Han
cock. Garfield Delayed writing his
letter of acceptance for some time,
expecting that Arthur would call
OH him, and that they would thus

points III it. Instead of this Arthur
writes to Garfield that his law BUSH
ness will prevent his paying call.

a fishing expedition with Conklins.
Garfield sulked over this a little,
and, unfortunately, confded his
sentiments to Chairman Jewell, who

The New Orleans Ledger is not
satisfied with Warmoth's way of
organizing the Republican party in
this State, and claims that he has
ignored the respectable element in
the party in his appointment Of
committees. The reason of this is
doubtless found in the fact that Pit
kin's name was omitted when War
moth made his appointments.

A few days ago the Democrats
of Manchester, VT, had the temerity
to raise a Hancock and English ban
ner. Much surprise was at first
manifested over the occurrence,
which speedily gave place to viz
tuous indignation. The fact was
communicated to the surrounding
country, and the rock-ribbed Re-
publicans in the rural districts came
swarming into town with rifles on
their shoulders as if they were gath
eriug to repel another Hessian
invasion. They gathered around
the obnoxious fag-pole and prac-
ticed at the halliards and banner
until the former were shot in two
and the flag came to the ground.
Satisfied with their glorious days
work, the Green Mountain bows
then dispersed, after promising to
give more proofs of their marksman-

most to say of a free ballot, per-

There is q great deal said in the
papers about the necessity of an
extra session of the Legislature.
On this subject we are like the Ohio
man, who one cold night, many
years ago, before nat State was
thought Of as the mother Of Chris
tian Presidents, heard some unusual
noise :.Dout his premises, and get
tjag out of bed in hurry, he went
into the yard and met a large black
bear. He had no chance to get
back into the house, and us the
next best thing he climbed an apple
tree. The bear proceeded to creep
into the pig pen, and got hold of a
porker, which brought the Ohio
mans wife to the door. Alta glance
she took in the situation, and yelled
to her husband to come down from
the apple tree and catch the bear
by the tail, and save the porker by
pulling Bruin out of the pen;
but the old man shiveringly replied
that he was well satisfied with the
situation"

RECIPES.

To DRY FIGs.-Pick the fruit on
II clear day after the dew is off. The
figs should not be too ripe. Put
them in solution of alum water,
for few moments, to remove the
rough skin. Some prefer to use a
lye made from wood ashes for this
purpose. In either case the fruit
should be taken out and well rinsed
i'll clear, fresh water. Have ready
a quantity of boiling syrup, into
which dip the fruit for q minnie or
two. Drain thoroughly, and spread
out on a board of frame work, pro-
tected from insects by netting, and
keep in the sun. Rain or dew
should never fall on the iruit while
drying. Pack in stone orglass jars,
and keep then tightly covered.
PRESERVING FIGs.-Prepare the
fruit as for drying. Cook in clear
syrup for five minutes, then put
into glass or stone jars, pouring hot
syrup over them until covered. The
syrup may be favored with ginger,
lemon, mace, pine apple, etc. but
those who desire the pure fig flavor
will add nothing whatever,
CRYsTALIzNG FIes.-Prepare the
fruit as for drying and preserving.
After cooking in the syrup. take
the fruit and sprinkle thickly with
granulated sugar, or, better still.

The attempt TO express mild disapproval of
the conduct of the men who received the
bride but were not bribed, and who have IN

wants, it is that they be more guarded in

gressmen themselves there Is no warning
whatever.
As to Mr.. Brooks. his case di fered entirely
from that of Mr.. Ames. He was guilty OF
violating an express statute, and of using
his ofiicial position for purposes Of black
mail. Absolute condemnation" of such an
offense is about like reprimand from the
bench for highway robbery. It has the mer-.
it, however, of being entirely consistent
with the weak and meaningless action Of
the house upon the whole matter
Congress having failed to punish the
offenders and vindicate its own dignity ard
honor, the case goes now to the people.
And the case did go to the people.
The next year Mr.. Garfield went
before the people of his district for
reelection to congress. A large
number of republicans in that dis
trict were dismayed at the weight
with which they would have to be
handicapped with such a candidate.
They held a meeting and passed
moststringent resolutions, condemn
ing his course and deprecating his
nomination. He was, however,
nominated, and, it being a presiden-
tial election, the party made gigantic
efforts and elected him by the skin
on his teeth-but he ran several
thousand votes behind his ticket.
Next November the people of a
much wider constituency will pass
upon it again, and no one who has
any faith in public justice can doubt
what the verdict will be.

the clouds which lowered over those
sad years of depression. His life
then was as the soft and radiant
sunset that sometimes closes a tenn
pestuous day. Spite Of straitened
circumstances, his modest home
was still the center of all that was
genial and refined in GAINESVILLE Sc
ciety, a rallying point where old
and young delighted to meet under
the Christening and cheering infiu-
ences of that combination of gentle
breeding and kindly consideration
which so eminently distinguished
both himselfand his admirable wife,
now, alas, his weeping widow. If
charity begins at home, emphatic
ally so does polished courtesy, and
so it was with q. A. Henry. Ev-
erywhere he was the preltc cleCatie1',
his manner being not the mincing
gallantry of the school of Chester
field, but the stately courtesy and
the graceful chivalry of a Bayard or
a Du Guesclin, a Raleigh or a Sid
ney. At home it was the same
thing, only warmed and softened
with domestic affection. His atten-
tions to ladies everywhere were
those of a high-bred gentleman. At
home, after fifty years of wedlock,
he was still the devoted lover, and
the passionate love Of his children
and his chiIdren's children is at once
the fruit and the evidence of his
happy and sympathetic participa-
ton in the sweet charities of do
nestle life. Nor will these influen-
ces be lost in future generations ;
one bright boy whom We saw weep
ing at his grandfather's funeral is
already distinguished in his aca-
demic career, and we know that
that youth keeps before him, as the
one guiding star of his hopeful ca
reer, the bright example given him
by his idolized grandsire.
On the sorrows of his bereaved
widow, even the offer of sympathy
must not yet intrude, warm as that
sympathy is throughout the COM
munity. He only who has thought
fit to affiict her is able to comfort
her, and will do so, for she has long
been accustomed to seek solace
where alone it is unfailing. May
she find comfort in her decline Of
life amid her children and grand
children.

ory, the unwearied kindness shown
by him to himself and to other
young men practising at the bar,
kindness constantly manifested in
the form of counsel, encouragement
and social help. This engaging
feature had never ceased to be a
characteristic Of g. A. Henry to the
day of his death.
The Hon. Neil s. Brown next
arose to second the motion. He
said that though he had unexpect-
edly made political speech the
night before, he had come to Clarks-
vile for no such a purpose, nor in
deed, with that of making a speech
at all; he had come to mingle his
sorrow with that of the friends and
neighbors Of Major @. A. Henry at
the irreparable loss that they had
sustained. He spoke of this loss
not as affecting one neighborhood
alone, or one county, but as one ex-
tending beyond the limits of the
state; for the Major was widely
known and as widely loved as ne
was known. He spoke of his Won
derfuI eloquence as gift for which
he was noted even at the earliest
period of his life; a gift one of the
greatest, which the best of men
prize more than that of military
glory; "for who," said he, ''does
not prefer the eloquence of Demos
themes to the glory of Alexander ?"
He spoke of the sOtt5Tiqatet of the
eagle Orator" as happy epithet
for him, for his political life was an
eagles fiight-he scared in higher
atmosphere than that of the aver
age politician; he bore his party's
banner when he knew that the
party was in minority, and there
fore when he knew that his career
could not lead to Office and emolu-
ment. This is what he came to
GAINESVILLE for, to bear testimony to
the life Of G. A. Henry, and to
sympathize with his neighbors at
his death.
These two speeches are all that
wecan mention separately, although
the Hon. John F. House was the
next speaker. Among the numer-
Gus speakers the bar of nearly ev-
cry county in the judicial district
was represented. The Hon. N.
Brandon spoke for Stewart county,
Mr.. Buquo for Houston, ex-Gov.
Brown for Davidson, Judge Seay
for Sumner, and Judge Stark for
Robertson. The junior members
of the bar were represented by Mr..
Campbell and Mr.. Rhodes, nor
were the business men of Clarks-
vile unrepresented, whose name
the Hon. d. N. Kennedy made one
of the most touching speeches of
the evening.
When all had finished, the chair
man called for the vote upon the
resolutions, saying that all the au-
dience and not merely the bar were
invited to join in it.
DR.. Wright moved on the part of
the general audience that the vote
should be taken standing and in
silence, which was carried f; and
then
The chairman requested that all
in favor of the adoption of the reso-
buttons should rise to their feet.
The whole audience instantly arose
and stood for a minute in perfect
silence, when an adjournment be-
ing moved, the vast audience sadly
and slowly dispersed.

long enough to complete the protest
in a burst of indignant eloquence,
when the decay of the physical
powers again asserted itself-the old
