Editors COLUMBIAN In your last issue
we find the following paragraph to wit
"The contest was confined to the offices
of President of Council and Tax Collector
Mr.. Iarr's friends claim that his majority
was reduced by the friends of MIR. Herring
offering to vote for Stiles for Collector in
order to secure Republican votes for Her
ring, which would account for Mr. Stiles
majority 1t is well known fact that
certain men who consider themselves
prominent democrats, spent the day work
ing for the republican candidate for col
lcctor, and some of them will be likely to
hear from this hereafter. Mr.. Stiles is
qualified for the Office, but he is one of the
most bitter and intolerant partisans in the
county, and should have no assistance
from democratic sources"
Now the democrats OF the county do not
know who the men here are who were
working for the republican candidate /; >"
nor who it was that traded votes between
stiles and Herring; but they are entitled to
know, no. only the facts but the names
not heregder, but now, So that hereafter they
can apply the remedy No doubt you can,
and as the organ of the party you should
to have them Give us the Names and the
full facts of the working" and trading"
by these democrats.
We have no hesitation In replying to
this inquiry, because we hold that while
as general rule every man has II perfect
right to exercise his own. Judgment in
voting, there are duties which some men
owe to their party that constitute an eX-
ception. a man who has been placed in
lucrative position by the votes of the demo-
cratic patty has no right to work against
the interests of that party, and if he does
so, he betrays the confidence that is placed
in him G. W. Steruer, register and re-
corder of Columbia county, now serving
his second term aud a candidate for a
third term did, on the 10th day of Feb.
ruary last at the town election, assiduously
work and vote for Richard Stiles, the re-
| publican candidate for collector. and
against the nominee Of the democratic
caucus, where his brother was defeated for
nomination. Whether for this reason, or
because of some personal difficulty be-
tween himself and J. f. Caldwell the demo-
cratic candidate, as alleged by Mr.. Sterncr,
there is no excuse for his action. The OBJ
! legation which he is under to the patty that
put him in office is greater than the neces-
sity of gratifying II personal spite, and he
should have so regarded it. He participa-
ted in the caucus, and in good faith should
have stood by the nominee The habit of
fighting regular party nominees by those
who tail to control the caucus or conven-
ton, is getting altogether too numerous,
and we know of no better way to stop it
than by giving the facts as they occur.
We know of no particular instances of
trading, but it is said that there was good
deal of it done on election day.

Of course when man is sound and well

The little operetta OF "Our American

Opera Company, was an entertaining piece

amusing withal, and some of the singing
was very good. The Leland sisters play

An Anti.ImmigratiOn Crusade.


There are son,c indications that an at
tempt will be made in the West to in.
augurate crusade against immigration.
The complaint In coming from many
places that they are being overrun with
foreign laborers, and that the .conse.
lnence is a material increase in the mum
Der of vagrants and idlers.
Several western journals have begun
to demand the more rigid restriction of
immigration. They complain that wa
yes are not only being depressed but
that the labf market is largely over
stocked. and that the pauper population
is being rapidly increased.
1t would seem that the present II siric-
tive laws. II rigidly enforced. are stiti-
cient The bringing in of Ch,nese labor
ers is prohibited. as il also the impprta-
tion of contract labor and paupers from
other countries. 1t il not charged tat
reasonable diligence Is not exercised by
these laws.
The citizens OF this country are all of
foreign birth or descent, and good mate
rial for citizens is still welcome to our
hoepitable shores. We want a. many
intelligent, upright people a. will come
here determined to leave behind the isms
born of injustice and oppression, and
who will become Americanizel and as-

anything IN the way of tunes. Macor

travelled about the country playing air,

his master would whistle.
tine OF the most popular errors con-
cernlng the mocking birl is the belief
that he has no song of his own: that he
adopts and blends only the notes Of
other birds into song. This i pure non
sense. The young moeklng birds reared
IN the garrets Of the great cities. aud be-
yond the reach Of the songs of others,
sing As do the natives in their freedom,
though not as strongly. since they lack
the inspiration Of mates. the mellow

fact. number Of songs, tut entirely

ions of the mocking birds song in any
forest. That he intersperses them with

choly peep" and notes from other birds
Is true. but these are only characters in
his recitative ballad. featrres in the ro.
nance of his summers. That he sings
his parts backward and forward and
combines them anew is also true. The
mocking birds song is to the ear what
the kaleidoscope is 10 eye. and the com
blnations Of his songs are rs endless as
the glass forms in the toy. hut the song
notes are the same.
This bird is probably the most contin-
nous singer in the world. but there are
two weeks out Of every iifty-two when

is when he is molting. At such times

not unlike that which the fat man makes
as he removes hish and mops his brow.
Perhaps during this season the bird lays
aside mockcry, repents and makes good
resolutions.
Georgia has no law to protect her wild
singers, whose songs delight and astonish
the world. Some Of our southern cities
have laws to protect buzzards and on.
