THE Solid South is on Top again.
For the first time since '6l, they
have full control of the House Of
representatives, Tbs Southern Brig.
sdiers are in high glee,-lJ Journal.
IT is inc now that the Conflict"
betwse the North and the South
was at an end. Peace between the
two sections was declared nearly
twenty years ago. and to-day there
is no cause for belching forth such
stuff as the above. for it will no Ion
ger have the effect which II is des-
ignsted to produce. The better class
Of people in the North as we'll as in
the South know that the war is over
and they believe that spirit of unity
and brotberly love should sctuate
tho people Of both sections, aud not
discord and disunion. We are
one and all American citizens, now,
and it is the duty for each and all of US
to use our endeavors to heal all sec
tional differences instead oil trying to
provoke eDmity.
AS long as there is hope Of Repub-
lican success in the South, the journals
Of that party have nothing to say
about the South but whenever Dem
scrstlc success seems apparent in that
section, the Radical press blsts fur
ious things about that people in The
hope Of firing the Northern heart
against them.
When LoNosrREET. MosBY and
other Confederate generals Joined the
Republican party, they were given
lucrative positions by Republican
Administration and the orgsns OF
that party had nothing of an OPP
probrions character to Say against
Southern Brigadiers," hut when the
people of the South elect Democrat
to Congress, all the odium possible
to be used by the Radical press, is
heaped upon the man elected and
the American people whose free bal
lots gave him the position.
Any person who will read the facts
and not allow his political prejudice
TO overcome his sense and judgement,
will observe that this howl about q
"Solid South" having control of the
House is set mp for seliesh interests
and political capital. just what eff
feet it will have on the American
people will be answered at the polls
next fall.

also specifies special manner in
which the drawing from the box,
must be accomplished to-

none Of which, it appears, were sd-

On Tuesday morning, after &C
qusinting himself with thsse facts,
MARUM filed q plea in abatement TO

ground that the requirements Of the
law had not been complied with in

Long Island.

The farmers of Long Island met in
the Hall building last Saturday, and
organized a ''Long Island District Ag-
ricultural Fair Association" For tenn
porary organization they elected S. G..
Pillsbury president and Marcus Watson
secretary. The president has appoint
ed committees for drafting bylaws and
soliciting stock holders w. III.
Boughton, of Phillipsburg, was present
and offered some good suggestions CON
corning the organization. The amount
fixed for shares was five dollars; this
places it within the reach of all our
farmers, and there seems to be a lively
interest taken in it. We hope it will
succeed as this is movement that we
have long felt the want of. This part
of the county can make a good show
ing in stock; stock that never gets so
far away as the county fair. President
Pillsbury seems, to us, to be the right
man In the right place. He is one of
our thriftiest farmers, making a special
ty of sheep and sorghum, and in both
these he is success. He has one of
the finest fiocks of sheep in the county,
and has brought them through the Win
ter all right having a large Increase of
lambs and not losing over ten per cent.
of them. He will make good presi-
dent, and we hope to see tine organize
ton prosper under his management.
Rev. Arlington, pastor of the M. E.
Church at the this place, sustained a
heavy loss last week. One of his hors-
es, a likely young mare, laid down and
died. We understand he is in limited
circumstances and will greatly feel the
| loss of the animal.
Mr.. Shaffer, of the Shaffer House in
Alma, Nebraska, was in these parts

They expect to bring in herd of cat
