PARTIES in Corpus Christi are trying
to boycott the Critic Of that city, and its
editor and publisher, Mr.. w. H. Howard.
The circulation Of scurrilous stories or
printed matter about man is the weak
est kind of opposition, and will in the
end fail of its object, very much after
the manner of boomerang. The LIGHT
is acquainted with Mr.. Howard, and
has always found him to be a gentleman
in every respect, while the Critic is a
paper that is particularly clean in its
utterances, free from any righteousness,
and deeply interested in the welfare OF
Corpus Christi. If this attempted per-
secution is unjust, the parties guilty Of
1t should be made to feel the full force

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of Mr.. Fred Freis, money clerk
In the Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express
Office, Is one that seems to be beyond
solution. That he has been foully dealt
with there does not now seem to be
question, for II he had been possessed of
one Of those sudden and unaccountable
freaks which cause men to wander off to
other places, he would ere this this have
been heard from. He was a man District
business habits, and his accounts were
found to be square and correct to a cent.
That he could have been murdered and
his body disposed of does not seem pro-
bable, but the most vigilant search, 80

beyond the finding package of letters
which anegro said he had picked up on
the river bank. II the earth had opened

Plant Corn.

1t is of utmost importance
that big crop of corn be raised this
year. The oat crop which is SO val
liable an adjunct to the corn crop,
will be almost total failure in many
parts of Georgia; and therefore the
corn crop should be large enough to
supply not only its own place, but
that of the oat crop which has been
SO disastrously cut off. Oats have
been, in the past, mole than once,
the salvation of Georgia. In spite of
the best efforts Of the farmers, this
time, the oat crop will be a failure
If salvation, OF the kind alluded to,
comes at all, it must come from the
corn crop. There is no probability
no possibility, in fact-of too
large a corn crop; but, on the other
hand there is a probability of too
small one. 1t behooves every far
mer, therefore, to make sure Of pitch
ing his corn crop so as to make a
bundance for his own use. If he
makes more than enough for himself,
he will not 10, likely to find any diff
iculty in disposing of it at a good
price.
Talking with two self-supporting
farmers, the other day, they suggest
ed to us TO urge the farmers not to
plow up the oats that are left-no
matter if they are scattering: but to
let them grow until cutting time,
and make what they will, and then
plant corn. They said further that,
on good land, there will be no diff
Gu ty in making corn crop, by
planting yellow corn, on the land
from which oats have been cut. The
idea is, make all you can out of the
oats that now remain, and then make
a corn crop on the same ground.
We give the suggestion, at their re-
quest; our readers NAY take it for
what it is worth; it seems to us a good
one.
Anyhow, plant corn.-Monroe Ad-

The President invested another
liberal slice of his salary in dinner
to Senator's and Members of Con-
gress on Wednesday evening. His
efforts to have them all as his guests
this year will cost him not less than
S5,O00-a tenth of bis annual salary.
There will be still one more large
Congressional dinner at the White
House, although it was supposed
that last Wednesdays dinner was
the last of the series. After Lent
there will be a large public recep-
ton. There has been of late some
complaint at the hotels abont town
that opportunities TO visit the White
House are not so frequently offered
to the general public as formerly.
The President is aware of this, and
to the coming reception everybody
will be invited. He has now both
his sisters with him as his guests.

and pastor, Rev. J. w. P. Fackler,
alas J. w. Fackler, on the charge Of
drunkenness, profanity and cruel
treatment of his wife, and whereas,
he has gone to parts unknown to US,
carrying a letter or certificate of
membership from this church, and
also having in his possession ministe-
rial credentials by means of which
he may impose upon other communi-
ties as he has on rs, and whereas, we
have reason to believe he is passing
under al assumed name, that of j.

That we declare the said j. ". P.
Fackler unworthy Of, and in no wise
entitled to, the confidence and es-
TEEN of the public, or of churches as
minister of the gospel.

Getting Ready to Choose Chi
cage Delegates.

The Republican leaders in Georgia
are busily engaged in fixing up the
county meetings which are to select
the delegates to the state Convention.
Outside of the large cities, with a
very few exceptions, there are no
white Republicans in this State, be-
cause there are no Federal officers
elsewhere except postmasters. The
county meetings, therefore, are en-
gineered from Savannah, Atlanta,
Macon and Augusta, especially from
The two first named cities. Colored
henchmen are now going through
the country instructing the local Lea
ders relative to the programme that
has been marked out. In each couA
ty two or three coored men control
the local organizations, and when
they are satisfied and agree to pur
sue a certain course OF action there
is no fear Of the result. 1t is rather
remarkable that no faction fights are
cropping out among the leaders.
Everything is harmonious, apparens
ly. For once she officeholdprs seem
to be eff one mind The reason of
this condition Of affairs is not alto
gether clear. Are they all united in
favor of Arthur, or are they all so
much III doubt as TO who stands the
best chance of securing the nomina-
lion that they are waiting for addi-
tiCnal light? In Louisiana an Arthur
delegation was selected, bus the COZ
dition of affaira there is very different
from that in any other State. Mr..
Kellogg is the party and the deli
gates to Chicago are Kellogg dele
gates, that is, they are for whom Kel-
logg is for. Mr. Kellogg may be fol
Arthur now, but nobody can guess
who he will be for when the conven
ton meets. 1t may be that no at
tempt will be made TO select a dele
CATION in this State for any particu-
lar candidate. The leaders may con
clude that they can mould the dele.
CATION better when they reach Chica
go, and when they know their owr
minds better. This may explain why
there is no enthusiasm among The
rank and file at present, and no cam
paign money. A good many of thu
delegates from this state, aud in fac
from all the Southern states, will NJ
doubt be negroes. There is little use
of pledging them before hand Saw

Is 1t A Sentiment?

1t has been asserted in some quar-
ters that the demand for Mr.. Tilden
is purely sentiment, and grows out
of no tangible reason. This may be
a very clever way of putting the mat
ter, but to an outsider who knows the
American people, it must appear to
be very ridiculous. If there is one
thing that America as a nation pos
seses the least of, it is sentiment.
The average American looks at every,
thing in an eminently practical light.
and at nothing more so than in the
selection of those Who are to make
and execute the laws which govern
him. 1t is hardly probable then that
he would consent to subordinate this
love of the practical to mere senti-
ment in so important matter as the
choice of a President. The fact is.
the call for Mr.. Tilden comes from
the highest source of practical sense.
the demand for justice. The history
OF the country shows that although
this spirit may have slept at times, it
has never failed to assert itself in the
end; that however it may have been
held i'll allegiance, the hour of its tri-
umph has always come. at this
day there are few, even among ultra
Republicans, who care to deny that
Mr.. Tilden was legally elected
President and was cheated out of
his rights. How the fraud was per
petrated is patient to everybody.
There is IAN axiom of the law that
there is no wrong without a remedy.
1t then becomes apparent that the
best remedy for this great wrong,
not done so much to one man or to
one party as to the dignity of the
American people, would be the re.
election of Mr.. Tilden; there can be
but one course for the National Dem.
ocratlc Convention to pursue. Such
body of men as will represent the
Democratic party at this momentous
assemblage in Chicago, will be guided
by no empty sentiment. 1t is not
the age or the occa
sion for such manifestation,
but rather for the exercise of strong
common sense, guided by clear iudg-
ment and ripe experience. We
hive no fear that that convention
will blunder. If it should again call |
upon Mr.. TiIden to beal the Demo.
cratic standard to victory it will be
because it deems such q selection
best Tor every practical reason and
not because it has yielde 10 any sen
