LET HIM GOT

The Meridian Miss Mercury Of the 14th
altimo, in speaking of it's proprietorship,
says: "a. G.. HoRN is senior and JERRY
Horn is junior proprietor This JERRY
Horn is and has been for fifteen months o
clerk in the postoflice department. Ho is
rude, profano, abusive and uncouth young
man. whose disregard for the amenities and
proprieties Of life disqualihes him for re-
ationshp with one of the most important
departments of the government, to say
nothing OF his pernicious political princi-
pies. Every dollar paid to him rs salary
goes to sustain one of the most cruel adyer-
nries of the republican party and its prin.
ciples. We have before us verified copy
of the utterances of JERRY HonN toward
.he editor of this paper, aud they are too in
decent TO be reproduced in its columns. In
view of this we protest against his longer
continuance in position under republican
administration. The salary paid to him be-
longs TO a republican of equal qualification
for the position and of far superior personal
character and manners. The Mercury OF
The 1ith ult says:
THE REPUBLICAN evidently wants JERRY
HoRN's scalp. Give him the grand bounce
and take IL. Let 'em take 1t, If he has 10 keep
It with dishonor lie can come back here TO
Mississippi, become an active member of his
club aud help to run that reconstructed con-
servative Journal the Meridian Mcrciuy in
which he may find more profit and honor.
What we desire and what we hope to at.
tain is that this young journalist shall be
permitted at an early day TO return to Mis-,
sissippi and take with him his i'll manners
and worse principles, that he may utilize
them in moro oppro pirate relation ant
"where lie may find more honor and profit
Such principles and such manners are en-
lirely out Of place in republican admins
tration Of the government, and especially
in q department to whose respectability
p such contact can add nothing of value
Let him go. He is of no good here, and the
Mercury needs his services.
Since the above was put in type it hai
come to our knowledge that JERRY HoR>
has by resignation under admonition va
Gated his position in the postolice depart
ment, and thus relieved it of the odium o
his presence. This is the most sensible aut
honorable official act that has marked hi
connection with the department, and whei
he departs with the money he has iilchct
from the government under the pretense 0
having served it he must feel very mucI
like q plunderer.

1T is now given out that when General

ing the various dangers which, as alleged, will
besot tho future if tho democracy are re-
stored to power, aud to this address they wilt

THE New York Herald Is outspokeu in its
advice to tho greonbackers, since their Ill
usage in Alabama and Mississippi, TO oppose
the democrats in all tho northern states. Il
says "They have determined to oppose tho
democrats in all tho northern states. They
are right. Let them reject fusion everywhere
with the democrats. They may not elect Gem

not predict, but this much we do know-the

looses his prestige as leader and his party
goes In pieces, to be rode over roughs.hod by

A "REPUsLIo,N,s CHANCE

The republicans In Alabama had as fair n
chance as the democrats, and the Arkansas
republicans have not been deprived of any
right or facility Democratic Organ,
Such nonsense and Rbsurdity can only be
produced under a cross of idiocy and men,
dacity. General WEAVER tells what
chance any party has in Alabama in oppo-
sition to the bulldozing democracy, while
in Arkansas the shotgun and rife have
done their perfect work in suppressng the
republican vote. The government has af.
iorded no protection to the right of suffrage
in either Of these or in the other southern
states, until republicanism has been ostra-
cised, prescribed and shot to death, and the
democrats are now holding high carnival
over the ruin they have effected. The
badinage that the republicans in the south
have had as fnir chance as the demo-
Gratis" is adding insult to injury. There
is no democrat quite 80 low and ignorant
as not to know that the right of uffrage
has been literally crushed out of the re-
publican party in most of the southern
states by prescription, ostracism, violence,
outrage and murder. There is no doubt
had the republicans in the south deter.
mined to fight fire with fire" and had re-
sisted the encroachments made upon their
rights by resort to the same agencies to
defend them that the democrats used in
their overthrow, that at this time, after n
bitter war of determination, the republicans
would have as fair a chance as the demo-
Gratis. But they have submitted peacefully,
without resort to violence, until all that is
allowed republicans in some five or six OF
the late confederate states is to remain
there and suffer these wrongs, if they will
consent to do so in patience and silence
This Is the present estate of those republic
cans who remain in those southern states
aud for that suffering they are taunted
with the declaration that they are not
deprived Of any right or facility" in the
south. This eiIrontery is only exceeded by
the barbarities which have brought south,
en republicans to their present lamentablC
condition, when it requires u solid north tC
give them any hopo for the future.

THE SILVER DOLLAR.

The prejudices against the silver dollar
as factor in our currency are likely to
have fair field for exercise, and as they
become better acquainted with they will
become more reconciled to the
silver dollar rs circulating medium. or
course it takes time and somewhat of ex-
perience to overcome prejudice when it is
as strongly lodged as that opposed to silver
has been. The amount of silver paid out
is rapidly increasing Last week the sum
reached S3l3, ,i93 as against $500, $50 the
week previous. THE REPUBLICAN has had
frequent occasion to urge freer issue
Of the standard dollar, especially in paying
our frontier obligations, where the silver is
much preferred TO paper, as under exposure
and yicssitude it is not ms likely TO be lost
or destroyed. The prejudice against silver
is widely generated in feeling Of hostility
that sprung from the fact that it was the
eonqueror Of the gold sceptre and cut off
all prospect Of q corner in and a specula-
tion on gold rs an article of merchandise,
it having assumed that attitude before the
law made silver its peer in value. But as
time brings its changes, and as the country
comes to appreciate tho Importance of sill
yer in securing resumption and its benefits
and comes to understand its utility in the
absence of bills of a small denomination
for the accommodation of business, this
feeling of prejudice will subside and the
prosecuted white metal will come into more
general favor

THE WIpJSG orr.


A few evenings after SAM RANDAIIis
election rs speaker AZ the extra session, JOE
BLACKBURN was inspired to make a speech
in front Of his boarding-house, on Ninth
street, near G., to band of music and a
parade of noisy boys Among other absurd
things in that speech, BLACKBURS said
Happy days are dawning for the South.
The heel of the oppressor and the iron hOols
Of war shall be removed from her beloved but
prostrato form. Her cry has been heard; her
star is in the ascendant From o helpless
minority she has come to n powerful majority,
which will dare to apply heroic remedies.
The violent, oppressive aud unwarranted con-
stitutional amendments and laws of the tyran-
nical north shall be wiped from cur statute
books or she will stay with you in the effort
until not one stone Of yonder proud capitol is
left upon another.
These were prophetic words. From that
hour the work of making the south solid
went on, with prescription, ostracism, bal.
lot-b OK siufllng, false counting and an oc-
casional murder Of republican, black or
white, to give zest TO the performance, un-
I'll the architects of this nelarious scheme
iancied their work complete. And so it
was, so lar as NE SOutn is concerned. but
these conspirators against the general
welfare of the nation forgot to take
into the account the possibility that
II solid south might challenge solid
north, or, perhaps, in their desperation, as
in the days Of rebellion, they fancied the
south all there is of this great nation TO be
considered and cared for. If so, they have
lived TO see the day when a solid north has
come forth to confront the solid south, and
to save "yondor proud capitol " from being
toppled over so that mot one stone is left
upon another" Future events have
somewhat interfered with BLAcKBURN's
delrous dream Of wiping out from the
statute books the measures born Of strife
and ofoyerturning "yonder proud capitol
The people Of tho north and west have de.
termincd to protect not only the statutes Of
the nation from being wiped out, but they
will preserve yonder massive pile of Orchi
lecture from being destroyed to propitiatC
the gods of secession and rebellion.

have much to learn in the councils and
conventions of the democratic party.
Some specimens Of the snake family are so
slippery that it would seem impossible to
classify them or to hold them to any place.

THE HEIRS OF GENERAL TAYLOR
The House Of Representatives on Tues
day did gracious thing in graceful
way, amending the deficiency appro.
priation bill so as to pay the salary OF
Gen. Zachary Taylor, as President OF
the United States, to his heir-at law
The amendment, which was moved by
Mr. J. r. Tucker, Of Virginia, directs
the Secretary of the Treasury to pay to
Mrs. Bette Taylor cambridge and Mrs.
Sarah Knox Wood, daughter and grand
daughter Of Gen. Taylor, the sum Of
S25 900, less so much of his salary as the
late President Or his family may have
drawn during the year. Ii will be re-
membered that President Taylor, who
was inaugurated March 4, l849, died
July 8, 1850. It is the custom in such
cases for Congress to vote the years sal
airy to the Presidents widow or his 9TH
err legal representatives. But General
Taylor's family at that time held large
estates, and declined a proposition which
was made them to introduce q bill to
pay to the widow the remainder of the
years salary. The proposition to pay
this money now grows out of the fact
that Mrs. cambridge (who is Gen. Tay-
ior's daughter, and is the widow Of Col.
Bliss, the Generals chief of staff
throughout the Mexican war; and Mrs.
Wood, daughter of Surgeon Wood, are
not in good circumstances. Gen. Rich
ard Taylor before his death, and his
heirs since, have relinquished all claims
upon this money in favor of the more
needy and helpless ladies. The House
adopted the amendment without dis
sent as soon as its object was explained,
and the Senate will doubtless make
haste to confirm q simple act Of justice
which confers such a great boon.-BGH.

THE MESSAGE

~ WILLIAM TENNYsoN HEAToy, AUTHOR OF
SONGS OF THE SHENANDOAH.
Drift onward, oh, river 1aevel AT rest,
Thy waves are as bright as the stars
A CLEAN from the golden setting west
Reveals glimpse Of thy heaving breast
And thy stretches of silver bars.
Over yon mountain-top flushed and red,
Bright cloud wreaths culver and glow,
The star-gemmcd ceilings shine overhead,
While in the churchyard over the dead
Rise tall pillars as white RS the snow.
Oh! river glide on to the sunsets home
And take thou a message for me-
Out where the waters are crested with foam
There's a beautiful isle where long to roam
Where the moonlight kisses the sea.
And there as thy waters sin. low on tn
shore
Where the breezes sigh lone DER the hill,
Chant these words mid the sea wave
roar
sob! for the touch of hand once more,
And the sound of voice that is still ~
By the Shenandoah, 1850.

more; when he sees your head done up
regularly every morning in curl papers
and the bloom is all off the rye; when
your home contains good deal OF wash

stand for one hour in front OF the house
out in the cold watching your light in
your window. He'll be thinking rather
