In 1865, six years after the time Secretary
Chase put forth the Treasury note, the
Democrats came out and said they were the
original Greenbackers. In 1880, fifteen
years after the close of the war, they ap-
peared as the original Hancock Veterans, as
the men who crushed the Rebellion ard
paid the expenses of that costly Southern
frolic. In this same year, 1880, fifty-three
years since they first declared for free trade,
they appear in the role of champions of
American industry. 1t is hard to tell what
they will do in 1884. But the chances are
that three hundred and ninety-two years
after the event, they will rosture as
the discoverers of America, nominate Chris
topher Columbus for President and 90 into
the fight shouting for Chris. and competi-
tive discovery. Columbus is dead, to be
sure, but he isn't any deader politically
considered than Hancock

After much persuasion, Prof. Edison has been
prevailed upon to give the world his truly wonder
ul discovery for aeviatng pain. For years he suffer-
ed from neuralgia palms, unable to find any remedy
among the hunoreds which he tried that would give
him permanent ease. Finally he became con yinced
that he must become his own physician and seek
by experiments, for the desired relief, He had
taken all the we'll known sedatives, which gave only
tempory relief, and produced nervousness, loss of
appetite, &c. Tie now sought for combination of
such remedies as would, by out,card application,
cure him of his distress and the same time not be
injurious to his system.
Trials and experiments followed this determine
tion until he at last produced compound which,
by application, entirely subdued all pain and al
lowed his system to recuperate, and throw off the
disease.
To his discovery Prof. Edison gave the name

that the Democratic ticket will tri-
umph in the South, but it does not do
so with that grace and truthfulness
that we would be bound to admire in
even a foe, for it tpredits that this VIC
tory will be achieved over . big Re-
publican majority, by fraudulent re-
turns, perjured commissioners Of elec-
ton, tissue ballots and all manner of
rascality. Now, we submit that it is
not fair for the Republican to "mcas-
ure our Democratic corn by its Repub-
lican half busllel," at least until we
have shown q disposition to adopt
these Republican methods Of carrying
elections. But even if we should do
SO Republicans should be the last men
to complain, for we would only be fol-
lowing their example. Really, neigh
Dor, VIC do not believe that there is
any necessity for a resort to such
methods, even if the party were COM
posed of such set Of rascals as would
be willing to perjurc themselves in
order to secure the triumph Of their
party.

This church has been closed, except
occasionally, for many months, and the
congregation was delighted to hear from
the Clergyman that it is tho intention Of
Bishop Galleher to locate q clergyman
in Covington. There are several in
fluential families in Covington and
vicinity who are communicates Of tho
Episcopal Church. There is no vestry,
and consequently no church organization
but the ladies of the congregation, with
commendable zeal, have kept the church
in good order, and when opened last
Sunday, its clean condition and newly
painted pews rendered it quite attrac-
tive. The church is out of debt, with o
nice Rectory, and wo believe tho good
efforts of the Bishop will succeed in es-
tablishing a large congregation.

Farmcrville Gazette: On Sunday the
4th, o difficulty took place between Sam
Ross, colorcd, living Oh Capt. Mosley's
place, and Jordan Hamons, colorcd, liv-
ing on Mr.. Elias Taylors place. 1t ap-
pears that some misunderstanding had
previously existed between these men,
and meeting on the Mosley's Bluff and
townsville road about two miles from
townsville, Ross accosted Hammons
when the latter backing off from his as.
sailant, said, THAT he had nothing more
to do with tho matter" Ross then drew
pistol and advancing upon.Hamlmons,
fired. The ball struck Hamnons in the
breast in tho region Of the heart, kill
ing him almost instantly.
Morcllousc Clarion: About five o'clock
last Sunday evening black, angry
cloud passed over this town making q
hideous, rumbling noise, which fright.
ened tho inhabitants llcreabouts out OF
their wits. The clovd was charged with
terrific winds, which were uncaved a
| little too high to injure tho town mate
| rally. The coming Of the bowling
winds reminded one of the fearful cyclone
that struck Macon, Miss, last Spring
and the most intense terror reigned
throughout the town for few minutes
People ran and boo-hooed inevery direc'
ton. Many shade trees were blown
down, but no serious injury was done
We understand that the corn crops Oh
tho bayou were leveled to the ground
and that on many plantations fences
were torn to atoms. We hope never
again to experience such feelings as w
had when we heard the coming of thai
ftmncl-shaped cloud.

Tho New Orleans Democrat asserts
that, while as q rule the poor classes
and those of moderate means in this
State assess their property ut its full
value, the wealthy class put theirs
down just Mt one-tenth its value; !;
thus robbing the State of most of it's
revenues and perjuring themselves at
the same time. In proof Of this asser-
tion, it cites individual instances, and
the Iberville South snbstantiatcs the
statement.

The North Louisiana Republican,
with perhaps q pardonable degree Of
complacent sclf-knowledge, says the
two Baton Rouge editors have ended
their little war and "both came out
victors." Both victors! Its talented
editor should remember thab Gar6sh
logic will not apply to Democratic
editors. Friend Lanier must have
had his head disordered by two much

The average critics of law makers,
remarks tho COlfax Chronicle, seem
to imagine that its takes about the
same amount Of time and labor to
enact Il law that it does for them to
hastily read the SAME law and conf
mcnt thereon, They couldevery one
have made all the laws enacted by
the last Legislature in thirty days! So
could anybody else, if they did not
have to consult three hundred other
men and get them to think as they do
in the matter.

Hancock nomination, and so she just
laid four eggs at ono sitting. Now
let her hatch out as many votes to

shells over to Garfield.

A hunter in Worth county, Gcor-
