are so clearly indicated by the
statutes, that it is not perceived
how they can find any difficulty in
knowing what they are required
to do. And inasmueh as by the
Act of Congress, the Supervisors
have 40 authority except to be
present and witness the election
proceedings, | do not see how any
conflict can arise between them
and the officers of the State. So
far from being antag0nistic, they
should cooperate with each other
In enforcing the law of the State,
and securing a free and fair elec-
ton.
In reply TO your question as TO
whether persons registered else
where than at the courthouse, are
yalidly registered and entitled to
vote. | have to say, that in my
opinion their right to vote is too
clear to admit discussion.
Having taken and subscribed
to the oath, administered By the
proper officer, they have complied
with the requirements, both of the
law and Constitution, and are en-
titled-to vote: This is aside from
any consideration of the propriety
of the conduct of the Clerks, who
may have taken the registration
books from their offices.
Respectfully,
T. @. CATCHIYGs.
Attorney-General.

To the Cotton Ginners OF the South.


MExIA, TEXAS, Oct. |, 1884.
Believing that mach benefit
could be derived by us from an
interchanging Of ideas, at gen
eral meeting to discuss ginning in.
terests, | am endeavoring to get
up such meeting or convention
of the ginners of the country.
Nearly all the other branches of
industry aud all the professions
have their annual meetings to dis
cuss mutual interests, and why not
wes In my opinion, no more APP
propriate place and time could be
suggested than at New Orleans,
during the Cotton Centennial Ex-
position. Ginners will naturally
be attracted there by the cotton
feature of the Exposition, while
the great reduction in railroad
fare will be an incentive to cause
many to go, if only for a pleasure
excursion. BY little concert of
action We may mingle business
with pleasure. My plan for a sue.
cessful meeting is this: Let every
ginner who reads this circular
send me, by letter or postal card,
his name and address, and suggest
some month and date which he
deems the most suitable time for
the proposed meeting. / would
like also for each one to suggest
one or more topics, Of mutual in.
tercst, to be discussed at the meet.
ing. After hearing from the larg.
er number Of ginners, | will, with
the assistance of prominent gin.
ners, select and appoint the month
aud date agreed on by u majority
of them, aud viii publish the same
in q circular and seud to every
ginner who has responded to this
suggestion. / will also publish,
in said circular, all the topics for
discussion that have been sugges.
ted. Now, if every ginner who
reads this will send me his name
and address and do as requested,
it can be easily arranged for a
large number of us to meet in
New Orleans, at a stated time, and
much mutual good will, no doubt,
be the result.
BY way of Introduction or per.
sonal mention, / would state that
have .he honor to be one of the
Commissioners from Texas to the
New Orleans Exposition. | have
been running gin aid studying
ginning all my life; aud feeling an
interest in the matter proposed, ]
have taken upon myself the task
OF presenting it TO the ginners Of
the South for their consideration
| trust that every ginner who
reads this circular will send me
his name and the time he would
prefer for the proposed meeting
DO not postpone it till tomorrow
or "next week. but send me, al
once, your name and address, and
the time you think the best fol
having a meeting. Yours truly,
X. S. MUNGER.

New Kind Of Accommodation.

Mr.. Editor: Our colored breth-
rem had one of their local preach.
ers under trial the case was some
what clouded. The presiding eld-
or proposed, that if said brother
could get a certificate of good
character from his white neigh
bors, that he would let him pass.
The brother came to me ''to write
out a paper for us all to sign, sta
ting what kind of a man he was.n
| referred him to my friend, DR.. =,
who was better acquainted with
him, and could "fxn up a better
recommendation than | could; of
he goes to the Dr.'s and here is
the Recommendation in the doc.

We, the undersigned, havin,

He Would Not Accept the Presidency
He Prefers Retirement and Ease.
WASHINGTON, January 24.-The Bal
timore Sun has this statement as to the
declaration OF Gen. Sherman to a per-
sonal friend: He said in the most posi-
tive manner that he could only reiterate
what he had previously uttered as to the
mention of his name for the presidency.
II he was nominated by reclamation in
the convention and received the cleo.
toral vote of every state in the Union he
would still decline. He looked forward
for the remnant of his DAYS to life
of comfort and ease, and entire freedom
from care or worry of any kind. He
thought it would be the supremest kind
of folly for him to be tempted by the
bauble of the presidency to enter the
White House and have four years of
strife, contention, irritation, and critl.
cism To encounter. To accept the presi
dency would necessitate his retiring
from the army, and at the end of four
years he would be remanded to
private life just like Graut, who
was trying to earn living in
the precarious occupation of broker
in Wall Street. The office of President,
he said, was surrounded with so much
that was difficult, SO much that was
unpleasant, so much that was unsatisfy.
ing, that before long that instead of men
of high character and statesmanship
seeking for it the trouble would be to
induce them to accept. "No," said he
in conclusion, "people may believe it
or not, Just as they please, but there is
and can be no possible contingency
which could induce me to think for one
moment of taking the office"

Conyulsing a Congregation.

The Rev. DR.. Charles S. Robinson
contributes to "Open Letters" in the
February Century, humorous protest
against Artistic Help in Divine Service -
as too frequently rendered by church
choirs. In part he says: - What is the
real purpose Of the American Board, or
OF any one of our churches, in the act of
singing in divine services? Is it to rem.
der musical thought adequately, or
to give poetic sentiment fitting express
sion? Once when I was
preaching in a church beside the Hud-
son River, in May, the busiest month of
the fishing season, I gave out the hymn,
Jesus, lover of my SOUL The leader
set it to a tune which, for the sake of
some mans musical thought repeated
half of the final line. When heard the
first verse, / shrank with CONSERVATION
in frightful prospect of the second; for
the movement ran thus: Oh, receive
Oh, receive Oh, receive my soul at
last That did no harm, it was simply
unnecessary. But the next was awful.
When I repeat it, it will be supposed q
joke, although I am writing in sad earn
est of fact which almost destroyed nv
service: Cover my defenseless head.
With the shad = with the shad - with
the shdd-o,o of thy wing The whole
congregation stirred with irrepressible
laughter. Must we all be forced to

in length, built of steel, and designed to
attain speed Of eighteen miles an hour,
making it possible to cover The distance
between Buffalo and Duluth in about
three days. AS the route between these
two cities is as short by water as by
land, such vessel will have little to
fear from railroad competition during
fine weather, and will no doubt do much
to give the lakes the popularity among
tourists which such magnificent bodies
of water deserve.

VILLARD's DOWNFALL,

An Oregon paper gives new reason
for the downfall of Henry Willard and
the great depreciation of Northern Pa.
citic stocks. 1t claims that the free
junketing trip across the continent,
which was intended to exhibit to foreign
capitalists and dignitaries the wonderful
natural resources Of the Willard roads
and lead to the sale of their lands to
European immigrants, had the effect of
alarming foreign stockholders, who no
sooner reached Oregon than they tele-
graphed orders to New York to sell their
Northern Pacific securities, and thus
started the ruinous raid which wrecked
Mr.. Willard. Very likely there is some
foundation for this theory. Foreigners
have not an Americans faith in the fu-
ture developments of this country, and,
not being able to realize how soon long
stretches of waste land are brought into
use by the rapid growth Of population,
it is quite likely that the newness of the
territory along the Northern Pacific
alarmed the British and German in
yestors who enjoyed Mr.. Wizards prince
y hospitality.
