ON SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISERS

FRUITS OF Observation-Disclosures is
producing its legitimate fruit. The Abing-
don Standard reports the following:
SIN the Coalition Convention to nominate
a candidate for the next Legislature from
Giles and Pulaski counties, negro publicly
avowed that the negroes were in favor OF
mixed schools and mixed marriages and
that the colored gentlemen had as much right
to marry a white lady as a white gentleman
to marry white lady" When we think
Of the fact that majority in party must
rule that party and that the majority of the
so-called Coalition party is composed of ne.
groes and that these negroes, of necessity,
must rule this party, and when we hear OF
their leaders proclaiming such sentiments In
open convention assembled with these white
readjusters present and that, too, before the
election. and before they have gotten into
power, is there any one so blind as not TO
see that, if the AIahoneites are successful,
the fruits of Mahoneism will be mixed
schools, mixed marriages and attempted
forced social equality.
If this party gets fully established in
power, we are destined to go through pc
Rod darker and more trying than that of
Reconstruction and more lasting and dam
aging in its effects upon the State.

The rhriee-Armed panoply of Trut,


The success of merit when once recognized
as a success Invariably excites detraction and
stimulates envy, hatred, malice and all I'M
charitableness. No man or enterprise is worthy
of regard whose reputation has not been some
time assailed by the baffled rage of some dis
appointed one, whose attempt to defraud, de-
fame, or destroy a righteous cause has been de-
feated after detection. The panoply of truth,
honesty AMI fair dealing to all has caused The
louisiana State Lottery to be invincfble to any
attack upon the integrity of the management
of its distributions by Generals G. T. Beaure-
gard, of Louisiana, and Jubal 4. Early, of Ntr-
ginia, and while, here and there, some disap-
pointed one may grumble, public opinion is
unanimous that everything Is straight and
square. The next drawing I6lst monthly will
take place on October 9th, and any information
desired will be given application to M. A.
Dauphin, New Orleans La.

JACK FRoST--This section was visited last
Monday morning by q severe frost, doing some
damage to the corn crop and other vegetation.
The oldest citizens assert that it was the heav-
of September within their memories.-Gfree7l-
6rieT Independent, September llth.
It may be the heaviest frost there on the 10th
of September within their memories. but not
the heaviest on the 1st of September within
their memories unless the memories OF the
'"oldest citizens are falling them. for on the
LIST of September, IS49, there was heavy and
"'nipping frost" which killed the leaves on the
bushes in the forest, as We well remember,
young as we are, for it was when we first went
TO Lewisburg to live, and we thought we had
gone to very cold part of the country. On
May 10th, 1859, there was a slight fall of snow,
and on the 10th of May, 1851. it was as warm as
July.
We fear that the memory of the old OF
the Independent is falling.

SELLS BROS CIRCUS AND MENAGERIE.-
There was an immense crowd in attendance at
Sells Bros exhibition here last Tuesday, not
withstanding the threatening and Indictment
weather. The exhibition was in every respect
highly satisfactory. The animals were numer-
Gus and in excellent condition, and to see them
was alone.fuIly worth the price ofadnission.-
The performances in the ring we're greatly
above the average, and embraced some new
features that were highly enjoyable, especially
the exhibition of bycicle riding. Every one
seemed delighted with the entertainment
and many declared it the best that had visited
Stanton for many years. AS usual at,circuses,
several parties were relieved of their money ny
sharpers. but we cannot think the management
should be held responsible for this.

THE CoUPoN DECISION. Bond,
the Malone Arthur Stalwart Judge of the
U. S. Circuit Court, has decided that a
tax payer may prevent an officer from levy
ing his tax upon any of his property after
he has made tender in coupons. The U.
S. Circuit Court has jurisdiction only in
cases where the tax is over five hundred
dollars Therefore the result of the matter
now in that every corporation, bloated bond
holder or railway that pays $500 taxes to
the State, can pay them i'll coupons, worth
from forty to fifty cents in the dollar But
