OSCAR TURNER has announced him
self for reelection to Congress and
says: eff any necessity for united
action Of the democratic party should
arise, or if the democratic party should
think it advisable, will cheerfully
submit to a primary election to be held
at the various precincts at the August
election-when every democrat can,
without inconvenience, express his
choice forarepresentative to Congress"
Oscar, of course, will judge of the
necessity himself, and will do like he
did before, 60 it on an Independent
ticket if he sees his own party is like
ly to choose a more consistent leader,
which we hope it will decide to do.

A woman of Stockton, Cal, believ-
ing that she was about to die, confess
ed to her husband that she did not
love him. but had centered her affect
ions on a neighbor. She declared
that she could not die unforgiven, and
so the husband freely forgave her. But
he granted the favor only in view of
her speedy death, and, when she unex-
pectedly recovered, he began suit for
divorce. Her defense is that he con-
doned her fault by the forgiveness, and
a peculiar question of law is raised

An exchange says that the sum

gress for pensions last week, is greater
by $4,000, 900 than the amount
which will be required during the cur

entering wedge. There is no nation on
the earth, however rich or prosperous
il may be, which can take so large a

INDBPENDBNTIsM.

Hon James L. Pugh, of Alabsma,
has so graphically pictured the class
to which DR.. FELTON, assumes the
championship that we cannot do
better than to reproduce bis sketch
Independentism is nothing but
the most slavish individual subser>
viency to the opposing party
Ninety Dine per cent. of the inde-
pendent candidates have belonged to
some organized party, which they
abandoned for the sole reason that
the organized party has defeated
their personal aspirations and prom
ices no future qualification of their
vanity and ambition This class
exists everywhere. Men aspire to
position, and when they discover
that an organized party keeps them
GU. of office they resort to indepen
dentism and cry out against machine
and boss rule. ! have now no re-
collection of any Independent can
pidate who ever returned to the par
ty be abandoned. The universal
history is that independent caudi-
dates always get as far off from the
party left as possible by landing 10
the most extreme portion of the op.
posite parry. The most reliable
and extreme member of the Repub-
lican party is Senator Malone. He
has never within my recollection
failed to vote with the Republicans
on every party question.
l told the reporter that all indie
pendentism was founded solely on
the hope Of office, and depended for
for success on the use of money and
patronage, and that such movements
and agencies we're short lived and
could never make any impression
on the honest white people of the
South that the South had rescued
itself from ruin by the power of or
ganiza.ion and believed in organ
lied men and organized parties
that had more respect for an Or
ganized Republican than | had for
an Independent Democrat.

KEEP IN THE OLD PATH.

If any additional legislation is
needed for any particular class of
the people, or for all classes, the
Democratic party offers the best
and the surest way to get it. When
we trust to the Democratic party
we know what we are doing, We
know that we are trusting to the
party that in the past rescued the
State from robber rule, from carpet~
bag rule, and from negro rule to
the party that alone in future may
save it from a return to that rule.
Outside of its ranks we see no prop
er place for men who have at heart
the good of the State. Let us stand
together now, and in the future, ss
in the darkest hours of tho past, to
maintain the integrity and perfect
the organization of the party that
worked such great good, not merely
for the State but for the South and
the whole country. When we tread
in the old paths we know just where
we are goiog; but when men stray
off into independence or into new
parties, they go at once into danger
and into darkness, and nothing but
evil can come of it. In the old
Democratic paths alone lies safety

ROSES AND CUTTINGS.

European horticulturists have
lately adopted a mode of making
rose cuttings root with more certain
ty by bending the shoot and insert
ing both ends into the ground, leav-
ing a single bud uncovered at the
middle and on the surface of the
ground. The cuttings are.about ten
inches long and are bent over a stick
laid flat on the ground, holes being
dug on each side of the stick for the
reception of the shoot. The roots
form only at the lower end of the
shoot, but the other end, being bur
led, prevents evaporation and dry
ing up. A correspondent of the
London Garden states that he has
tried this along with the old mode,
and that while the weaker cuttings
of the latter have shown symptoms
of drying end failure, all the former
grew vigorously.

THE sENAToRIAL NOMINEE.

10 another column We publish q
letter signed by portion of Cobb'a
delegates to the recent Senatorial
convention, which nominated Hon
Samuel B. Hoyt. Their explana,
ton seems to be straight forward,
positive and explicit.
We have commended that it was
Clay toms right to have the Senator
this time. But when the convention
met, and it wss decided that Col.
Spence was not suitable man, and
Clayton refused to put forward an
objectionable man, it necessarily
devolved upon that convention to
either nominate a candidate from
Fulton or Cobb, or burst up the con
vention. When Col Ferguson wss
put before the convention by Cobb
delegate, the Clayton delegates re
fused to cast vote for bin. Tired
of ballotting for two days, Mr.. Hoyt
was finally nominated, and Clsyton's
delegates participated 10 the ratifca,
ton, making it unanimous, and they
and Mr.. Ferguson are duty bound
to abide the result, if good party
faith is worth anything.
The Atlanta convention was the
only duly empowered convention
authorized to make a nomination,
and Clayton's meeting urging Mr..
Ferguson to bolt and run as an To-
dependent, is dangerous precedent.
Independentism is an obnoxious
weed that should be extirpated. 1t
should not be encouraged by our
people.
Col. Hoyt is the duly accredited
standard bearer of the demo>
cratic party. There is nothing that
can be brought against his charac-
ter and democracy. In public and
private life, he has lived above re-
proach and it is the duty of demo-
Gratis to give him rousing vote.
