Senator Ingalls,, brother of Mrs. Garfield. of Kansas, made a bloody shirt speech in the Senate last week. on the race question, in which he grossly slandcrcd the South. Said the negro was not allowed his polit- ical or social rights, and suggested that they might resort 10 torch and gun. Like his illustrious CD sister, he is simply an ignoramus and crank on this subject. He should think over Lincoln's idea of this matter, and then initiate him.

POLITICAL PARTIES.

Within the past few weeks we have heard several good and intelli- gent citizens say they wanted to have nothing to do with political parties, nor read political papers. This leads us to write this article on the above named important subject. We have no long -winded essay with which to bore our readers, though we could easily take mp two or three columns in the discussion of this matter-pro- pose in condensed, pithy way to appeal to reason and common sense, that the reader may be led to fully ponder and search into it.
 Without political parties there can be no government History, expert encc and common sense prove this, and no man can gainsaY it. An archy, choas and disorder would, then, follow the destruction of polit- ical parties; there would be no pro tcction to life or property-our so- cial and governmental fabric would cease to exist; the family relation and our homes would be broken up; churches and schools would be un- known. It is impossible to enumer- ate or think of the many evils that would follow the death of political parties.
 Every man should take an active and abiding interest in politics this conclusion necessarily follows from what has already been said. Then every man should post himself on this most important question. and 1t is utterly impossible to do so without confcring with one another, and as the newspaper is the greatest medi- um for this purpose, every man should subscribe for and carefully read the best political papers to be had.
 It seems to Us that no mau can he a good citizen unless he takes part ill our political economy. It is a very erroneous and hurtful idea to ''let pol. itics go." and we deplore the fact many are inclined in this direction. 1 Every man should not only vote, but vote intelligcntly and right, and this ! he can not do without studying and reading up on the political questions of the day. Duty demands that this be done, the Bible commands it-and you can not be true to your God. yourself or your country and neglect this solemn duty.
 Reader. think seriously y over this question, and determine to be a fac tor in your government, by aIlying yourself to one or the other of the two great political parties of this countrv-Democratic or Republican.

rule it..

After the lapse of about q month, l reached Prescott again Wednesday eve. the 22nd inst, without loss of life or limb. Back and forth l had travelled behind the iron horse dis tance of twelve hundred miles, tray- ersing in three days about one twen- tieth of this mundane sphere.
 How much variety of scene and incident, of pleasure and delight were embraced in that interval of 30 davs-perhaps more than q year Of ordinary routine life, with its hum- drum, monotonous round of common place eventS-precious seasons of union and communion with my dear children at Carrolton, Ga, inter- change of civilities with valued friends, marked their golden inn prcssions on it's fecting wings-a beautiful oasis in the desert of life, refreshing to the heart and cheering to the hope.
 In passing to and fro from Pres colt to Carrollton, was very much impressed with the wonderful growth and development of our beloved South-land. North Alabama is es- pecially marching to the front with bold, aggressive strides. Georgia, too. grand old State-is keeping step to the onward march to glory and renown A native Georgian, to the manor born, I rejoice Tn her grand achievements, and ia the prophecy of still more glorious future.
 Spent day in Memphis, the bluff city, on my return trip. With the Father of Waters, the mighty Miss issippi, rolling in grandeur at her feet. with ten trunk railroads pour ing their wealth into her lap, and numerous factories and rk-ShOps crowning her hills, Memphis is rap idly forging her way to the front, and is destined to become one of the first distributing cities of the great Mississippi Valley.
 Travel broadens and liberallzes ones views, tends to obliteratc prej- udicc. and strengthens convictions of the worlds progress. The human race is more intelligent, more liberal and humane. has more conyeniences and comforts to-day, and occupies q higher moral plane than in any former period of its history. The croaker and the pessimist are like the owls and the bats in some old dilapidated building they are be- hind the procession, feasting and fattening upon the filth and putre- faction of humanity.
 Before closing l must return my profound thanks to my friend, Mir. W. II. Neighbors, of Memphis, to whom l am greatly indebted for blnd- nesses shown me during my brief stay m the bluff city. He is noble gentleman, and was for several months a faithful foreman in the PIC- AYrrF office, at Prescott, last year.

A resolution has been introduced in the Virginia Legislature, now in session, instructing Congressmen from that State to favor an appropri- ation to encourage the emigration of negroes to Northern Republican States, where they may enjoy the political rights they clam to be de- priyed of in the South. We would say let every legislature in the south not only pass such resolutions, hut pass bill making appropriations of money to assist in consummating so desirable an end Who cares for the bowling of Northern radicals let 'em howl-have poor way of help ing themselves.

TWO CHILDREN MURDERED.

HAvERHILL, n. II. Jan. 4.-Stephen La
Plant, Frenchman, whose home is in
Benton, has been spending few days at
Center Haverhill. Today his son, accom-
panied by the mother Of the children, went
to Warren. leaving La Plant and wife in
charge There were four children. The
two eldest were skating, leaving the I'M
fortunate victims alone with the murderer
and his wife. There was some dispute in
regard to the children when La Plant left
the room, returning with hammer, with
which he dealt the boy unmerciful and
heavy blows on the skull, scattering his
blood upon the ceiling and the floor The
girl. interrupting. engaged his attention,
and. drawing knife, he cut her and also
dealt heavy blows with the hammer
until she fell to the floor insensible. At
this point a passerby was attracted by the
noise and La Plant was seized while in
the act of murderously assauiting his wife,
whose life doubtless, he would also have
taken. Officer Weeden was summoned
and had the murderer in Jail here at s
o'clock. La Plant talks freely and says he
meant to kill the children. He was ad-
dicted to the Use Of liquor, and in all
probability was under its influence when
the crimes were committed. The boy was
instantly killed. The girl will die.
