A vILLAINEoUs CoUP D'ErAT.

A Washington correspondent OF the
Louisville Courier Journal reports q
a-shrewd Democratic observer" as say
ing there is a chance for the Democrats
to get control OF the Senate of the Fiji
tieth Congress by q coup d'etdt, (which
is perfectly Legitimate" The plan for
doing so is this: Last winter the Re
publicans in the Senate were so anxious
to have Dakota admitted as a State that
they made overtures to SenstorVoorhees
for the admission of Washington Terri
tory, which it is believed will 60 Dem
ocratic.
By thus admitting q Repu blican State
and Democratic one, the balance OF
power in the Senate would remain IN
changed. This "shrewd Democratic
observer" however, does not believe
the Republicans were sincere in their
oyertures, as he believes hat all that
was sought by their offers to admit
Washington Territory was merely to
remove Democratic opposition to the
admission Of Dakota, as the Republi-
cans believed they could easily win
over to their party the new State OF
Washington. Under these circum
stances. the Republican Senate, las

Dakota and Washington. and bott

majority. So that if Washington wer
now admitted. two Democrats would
be promptly sent to the Senate. Thi

Again. as If following the example set
in another Territory 1900 years before
the Judge upheld the position OF the
District Attorney. and compelled the
wife to 90 upon the stand.
We can only briefly follow the trial
from this point, noting merely how

not the mother OF the child, which had
been left on her doorstep; now she be
lieyed in the rightfalness OF polykid'
amv. how the District Attorney
denounced the "deplorable perjury
of witness. in alleging that the
child had been left on her doorstep
and how the defense had failed TO pro-
duce the only witness the court would
permit to testify on the subject-the
person who left the child on the step
how the attorney declared that perjury
was 8 part Of the education OF the
More kid-ites; how the defense
showed that the accused had beer
in Europe constantly for two years be
fore the birth OF the child; how the
Judge, on a hint from the government
lawyer, held that it was IAN indisputaol'
presumption Of the law that II nus
band has been in the country OF hi
vile ana home, he is the father OF he
child, or, in other language. that III
must be presumed to be the father,
il has been possible for him TO be so.
It is my opinion that unless the de
tense can show that the defendan
was beyond the earth, OF dead
it is an incontestible presumption
that he is the father Of the child" Tit
arguments Of counsel are set forth, a
well as the rulings of the judge, an'
ridiculous as parts of the proceeding
seem, they are so much like accounts o
trials held in this age that one is no
greatly astonished at anything said o
done.
The satire is clever, and the purpos'
of the writer can be readily perceived
by anyone at all familiar with the ju
dicial history Of this Territory for tn
past three years.

The Peach Industry in levy County.


fToIN thc bFo1eSDN = El,l IiOte6.
A visit to the peach farm of the Rev. j.
Z. DePass, the 'father OF the peach indus
try in Florida" showed us what can be
done in this interest in Levy county. Mr..
DePass moved to the place he now Occu-
pies eight years ago, when it was
then considered one OF the poorest
places in the DeighbOrhood. He set
TO work, and today mas the most valu-
able farm and grove in that part OF the
county, and, as to that matter, the eQua!
Of any in this part OF the State. He has
made peaches specially. and what he
does not know about them Is hardly worth
telling. The results Of his labOrs in this
direction will soon be given TO the coun-
try in the shape OF Il pamphlet on peach
culture, which he is now preparing.
His peach grove is one Of the pTettiest
sights IN Florida. lie has Is to 30 acres
in peaches, most Of them now bearing, and
nursery stocked with several Thousand
young trees OF the choicest varieties. lie
makes a speciality OF PIen-to. Honey, jack
son Prolific, FdYoriteand Witnlacoochee.
His Pien-tos come into bearing in
May, and then other varieties keep
up supply OF fruit until the latter part
OF October, atordng peaches through
out the entire season, and OF
the choicest varieties. He has, by proper
manipulation and fertllizing, secured a
full crop OF peaches every year, claiming
that with proper nursing the peach
crop is an absolute certainty every year.
Our soil and climate Is peculiarly
adapted to peach culture and is
destined TO be one OF the leading
industries here. The superiority OF the
fruit raised here guarantees a profitable
market for our products ia this line. Our
early varieties will come in considerably
ahead OF the peaches in higher ATTITUDES,
and from the popularity Of our position,
we can keep up a continuation OF the
crop, having the latest varieties to ripen
here when more northern climes are
choked with snow and ice. Mr.. DePass'
efforts have clearly shown that this
is one Of the most profitable in
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1886-07-04

dustres our people can engage in, and
numbers are following his example, The
peach tree is longer lived and less sub
ject to the depredations OF insects here
than in almost any other part of the
country. Trees in this county now thirty
years in bearing are, with no special at
tention given them, as thrifty as the tree
of tour or five years OF age. The largest
trees in Florida are in this county, Mr..
DePass having some on his farm that
produce annually fifteen to twenty bush
els of fruit.
In addition to this immense peach farm,
Mr.. DePass has large nursery OF pears,
oranges, Japan plums, Japan persm-
mons, figs, etc., and has one OF the best
regulated farms in the country. He raises
all the corn and meat used on his place,
and is as independent as a sovereign
American should wish to be. All his ac-
cumulations have resulted from the I'M
firing efforts made by him. The only sure
income he has had in the meantime has
been the contingent salary received as an
itinerant minister in the Methodist Epis-
copal church. What he has accomplished
others can do.

There Is Nothing Surprising

in the fact that Benson's Capcine Plasters are
widely initiated; that cheap and worthless
plasters, with names Of similar sound, and
similar appearance in type, are freely offered
for sale. Articles OF great and original merit
always have to compete with trashy imta-
tions. But as they become known they die
out through deserved neglect. Meanwhile
we warn the public against the so called
"Capslcum," "Capsicin," "CSpucin" and
"Capsiciue" plasters, whether "Benton's,'
"BurtOn's," or otherwise. They have no
medicinal or curative virtues whatever, and
are made to sell on the reputation of Benson s.
When purchasing ask for Benson's, deal with
respectable druggists only, and you caunot be
deceived. The genuine has the Three Seals
trademark on the cloth and the word cap
cine' cut in the centre.

Georgia Politics.

Capt. J. w. Rivers, of Summeryille,
announces himself as candidate for the
Legislature.
The citizens of Walker county were
called together in mass meeting last Sat
urdav. For Congress, j. G. Clements re-
ceived over 225 votes, % votes being cast
against him, but tor no particular person.
1t was voted to hold primary election
on July II for delegates to the Guberna-
tOrial Convention. b. F. Thurman and
Wash Head were elected delegates to the
Congressional Convention.
Summerville Gazette: While the cleo
ton was progressing in Summerville the
little boys thought they must have their
share of the fun, and came up to the win
dow and handed in their vote with as
much Importance as if the election of a
President had depended on their votes.
1t was amusing to see the interest they
took and the diligence With which they
secured the town in search Of voters. The
COnfederacy was said TO have robbed the
cradle and the grave; these boys certainly
came very near robbing the cradle. Their
votes were kept in a separate box. and
stood Bacon 20, Gordon 26. There
would have been a tie, but three Bacon
voters were either bribed or IntimIdated
into Withdrawing their ballots from the
box and putting in votes tor Gordon.
When we speak OF bribery we know what
we are talking about. One little fellow
was at the window handing in a Bacon
ticket when his playmate grabbed him by
the arm, and SAID: "Don't vote that ticket
I'Ve got some candy over there;' pointing
TO his fathers store. To the little fellows
credit be il said that he withstoOd the
temptation. The one who made the offer
will certainly achieve success as politi-

LESSONS FROM ATLANTA.
Virginians Must Begin to Learn.

There are at least three lessons
contained in this Atlanta election,
which Virginians had as welb begin
to learn: The first is, that the pol
itician that utters doubtful note
on this subject might as we'll order
his political winding sheet at once,
and any party that tritles with this
vital question will be relieved of
the cares and responsibilities of
government. carly one
half of the voters of Atlanta are
colored people. If they had gone
solid for the wet ticket, as many
believed they would, prohibition
would have been impossible. The
colored preachers, without excep-
ton, threw themselves fully into
the prohibition movement, preach
ing about it and talking about it
everywhere. Other prominent col
ored men did valuable service ;
and the colored voters, when the
time came divided themselves by
about the same. lines rs did the
white people. The negro is a
better man than he gets credit for
and he would be better than he is if
he was not abused. We believe that
whoever depends upon the negro
vote to perpetuate whisky in this
country will find his judgment OF
the negro sadly at fault.
Thirdly.-The man who has his
money in the whisky business in
Virginia, had better be getting it
out. 1t will not be long till stock
of that kind will be at discount.
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1886-01-13

recent election indicates a growing
sentiment iD favor of political
action, based upon the desire to
eradicate the manufacture ofiutoxi-
eating liquors. Believing prohi-
bition to be an unwarrantable
invasion of natural rights, beyond
the proper domain Of legislation
likely to be successful if tried, but
harmful in the destruction of
manufactures, effective upon drink
ing, but not in suppression-only
causing secrecy and an increase, I
have no hesitation in opposing
prohibition, whether attempted BY
law, constitutional amendment or
local option. When the sale is
conducted under proper restraints
it's not an evil, and is entitled to
the protection of law"
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1886-01-13
The 20 Years Set Back.

The dark cloud of fanaticism has
not reached its zenith as yet. The
dangers which threaten the cause
of personal liberty are not dimin-
ishing, but increasing. Prohibi-
ton is lifting it's head more boldly

All, is that SO? We thought
that the cause of temperance had

Licensing Assassination.

PITTsBURG, Dec. 29.-James Cain,
a desperate character, to-day shot
and almost instantly killed John
Wright, colored man, who acct
dentally ran against him on the
street. Cain had been drinking
heavily for several days. He had
figured in numerous cutting and
shooting affrays for the past few
years, but heretofore the victims
have recovered. Cain has been
arrested.
