that poor people have no alternative
but TO buy the cheap stuif, which Is
spoiled in the making, or to procure
some more paatable and wholesome

has become one OF the most overbear-

one of the most potential aud unscru-

What is the secret of the opposition
which this high stepping monopoly is
bringing to bear against the manufac.
ture of oleomargarine2 1t Is not that
the imitation is unclean, or unhealth-
full, or in any respect illcgitimate; but
simply that the placing of this article
on the market will compel the manu-.
facturers Of bad butter, whose name Is
legion, either to withdraw from bust
ness or improve the quality of their
product so as to compete with its more
respectable rival. That's the whole
thing in a nutshell. The fraud is not
on the side OF the oleomargarine in.
dustry, but we regret to say, on the
side Of the creamery industry

earliest and best recolloctions of every
man who was brought up in the coun.
try and knows what genuine butter is.
If the antagonism to olcomargnrine
was intended to restore the era of the
honest churn, THE CRiTIC would en-.
list for the war. AS it is simply cal.
culated TO fasten upon the country
more firmly than ever the grip of the
bad butter makers, we are against it
against taxing oleomargarine out in
order to keep bogus butter in.
OUR ESTEEMED and spicy contem-
porary, the Congressional R6cord, has
unwittingly committed breach of
journalistic etiquette, to which we call
its attention. We refer to the publica-
tion in its columns this morning of an
article on Mr.. and Mrs. Cow and the
twins, Oleomargarine and Butter,
which originally appeared in THE
CRITIC, but which our able aud
veracious friend. Mr.. Van Eaton, NJ.
c. from Mississippi, handed in to the
telegraph editor of the Record as n
special dispatch to him from the Mer-
chants Exchange at Oshkosh. Mr..
Van Eaton had previously requested
the Clerk Of the House to read this
dispatch to the assembled Members
while discussing the Oleomargarine
bill, and we are pleased to notice that
itawas received with "[Laughterl," as
the Record testifles. But this does not
excuse Mr.. Van Eaton, who in this un-
calledfor manner ISLANDERS the Mer-
chants Exchange at Oshkosh. Osh-
kosh is not in Mississippi, and Mr.. Van
Eaton has no business going out of his
bailiwick. A directory of Oshkosh
will further show that no Mr.. or Mrs.
Cow resides in that town, and Mr.. Van
Eaton is again confronted with his
willful Misrepresentation respecting a
highly respectable municipality and a
non.political Merchants Exchange.
Mr.. Van Eaton will please write a

The earthquake shock last
Wednesday night was felt upon
the entire Atlantic coast.
In Atlanta and Macon many
chimneys were tumbled,a and in few
instances walls of houses cracked.
Along the North and South
Carolina coasts the quake was de-
eidedly more perceptible.
At Charleston S. c., it was
fearful, doing great damageil the
city and vicinity, and by the wreck
ing of houses, killed many people,
as reported below:
One-sixth Of the city is prob
ably in ruins,or the houses so dam
aged as to be rendered unsafe for
occupancy. Whole blocks tumbled
to the ground. Many houses were
set on fire by overturned lamps
and destroyed. Some sixty per-
sons were killed and 500 wound
ed.
But one store is open for bust
ness, and that is filed with pre-
scription5 for the wounded and dy-
ing. The people live in tents on
the public square and open pla-
ces, being afraid to return to their
homes. The greatest distress and
desolation prevails.
The people are reported as pan
ic stricken. while the negroes are
actually wild in their terror, be-
lieying ii to be warning of ap-
preaching Judgement. Within a
radius Of Ice miles from Charles
ton much damages was done to
railroads, bridges, etc. At Somer-
vile, a suburban village, there
are decided evidences OF volcanic
action, assures in the earth from
which sulphuric oder is emitted.
About 500 of its citizens have left
and assert that they will never
return.
The loss to Charleston by the
earthquake is estimated at from
eight to ten million dollars. Sub
scriptiOns for the sufferers are be-
ing taken up in many cities and
towns Of the State.

CUTHBERT, Ga, Aug. 24, 'S6.
MEssRs. EDlToRs:- Through
your columns allow me to respond
to the foregoing expressions of
the opinions and desire of the le-
gal fraternity. They bear the
spontaneous signature of every
member of the bar within this
Circuit except one, whose absence
from the State, | am assured, alone
caused his failure to sign. A con-
siderable number of prominent
lawyers, residing near and prac-
ticing within the Circuit, have
added t,eir names.
| wish to say that | am pro-
foundly grateful to each and all
Of the signers for their generous
and fattering expressions con-
cerning me. | take this opportu-
nifty of adding that the cares and
labors of my judicial service have
been greatly lightened by the uni-
form courtesy and kindness OF the
entire bar towards the bench and
towards each other. To be thus
assured of their personal friend
ship and confidence, and of their
enlightened approval of my Off
cial conduct, is an invaluable re-
ward.
In accordance with the unani-
nous desire expressed by my pro-
fessional brethren, my name will,
Providence permitting, be sub
mitted to the General Assembly
for re election. Should / hold
the office, it will be my constant
aim to merit, as far as in me- lies,
the high encomiums, which they
have Leen pleased to hestow upon
me. Yorrs respectfully,
