Let young men also learn that the

TWO DOUBLE.CYLIEDER HOE PRESSES

Which we are now using. They are both
in PERFECT ORDER, and will be guar
anteed to do FIRST-CLASS WORK. We
will sell them AT A SACRIFICE, as
they must be disposed of to accommodate
the new press, and one of them can be de-
livered Immediately; the other must be
retained until our new press is in opera
ton. The sizes of bed-plates are 40x60.
This is an opportunity to secure bargain
that is rarely presented to the newspapers
of this coast. Terms of payments can be
made easy for the purchasers if desired.
Both these presses can be seen in opera

IT is not at all surprising that with the
example set before them by their neigh
bors there are negroes to be found in the
South who sell their votes. The Tennessee
certificates of registration must be pre-
scented before voters can cast their ballots.
At recent election in Chattanooga, says
the Observer, an organ of the colored peo-
pie, the negroes sold these certificates to
white men, who thus really bribed the
negro not to vote. The Observer bears wit
ness to one sale of thirty certificates in the
Fifth District, which changed hands for
the round sum of $3.50. But white men
North and South have done worse they
have sod their ballots, and that the South
ern negro should initiate such venality
simply proves that he is initiative. 1t is
well suggested, Also that he is shire Sd
enough to know his ballot will either be
refused, or its expression depressed, and
hence he drives an infamous bargain by
surrendering the evidence of his right to
vote.

GENERAL n. p. BANKS certifes that
when he was Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives in 1856, he made precisely the
same ruling made in 1890 by Speaker
Reed as to the actual presence of a
quorum. No one raised any sort of objec-
ton to it. 1t was deemed sensible, wise,
and necessary. The question of quorum
being raised, General Banks proceeded
''by eye" to ascertain if there were mem
bers enough actually present to constitute
a quorum, and if there were he announced
a quorum present; the fact was entered OF
record. and business went on as usual.
