that never before III any national CON

have not elapsed since the President
gave to the press a statement to the
effect that the presence of Office holders

A GROUND HOG WHIPS THREE Docs.
The family of Judge Wallace was driv-
ing cut Cedar Lane one afternoon last
week when the dogs belonging to Judge
Wallace came upon ground hog sun
ming himself beside the stonewall near
Stansberry's gate.
The dogs attacked the animal, but
early in the action, finding his teeth
and claws more formidable weapons
than they wished to confront, beat a
hasty retreat and left his hogship free
to scale the wall and make for his den.
Mr.. Chas. E. Hunter, with his dog,
came along while the ground hog was
trying to escape and his dog was in
duced to attack the animal. He was
joined by the dogs of Judge Wallace
and all three were whipped in the fight
Dir. Hunter concluding it was time for
him to take a hand, made a rush for
the hog, but beat hasty retreat when
the hog showed fight. Finding fence
rail convenient NIr. Hunter renewed
the attack and after gallant fight, with
the assistance of his faithful dog, sue
cecded in killing the animal which he
brought to town and exhibited with
much pride as n trophy of his valor and
pluck.-Fredericksburg Lance

RICHMOND AND DANvILLE AFFAIRS.
President Oakman, of the Danville,

steps to prevent the Georgia Central re
ceivers from acquiring any property of
the Danville Company. 1t is under
stood that j. Fierpoint Morgan has
taken a personal interest in the matter.
Vice President Rutherford, of the
Richmond and Danville, has this to say
of the application for receiver: THE
Georgia Central's receivers are carrying
litigation too far, and we are satisfied to
rest on Mr. Williams's report as to the
status of Indebtedness between the two
properties. That report showed that
the Georgia Central owed the Danville
Company S2,316,0G0. and that the Dan
vile paid $S79, S75 of Indebtedness in

was not in the balance sheet of the

SEVENTY Of the seventy-two New
York delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton met last night and resolved, by a
vote of sixty-nine to one, to vote Jor
Senator Hill until he shall be nomi-
mated, or as long as he shall permit his
name to remain before the convention
The great importance of this action 10
the South lies in the recognized facts
that while republican candidate for
the Presidency can be elected without
the vote of New York, no democratic
candidate can be, and that if a republic
can President be elected. a republican
Congress will probably be chosen at the
same time, and that then will come the
Force bill.

.'WHEN we consider the patronage OF
this great Office, the allurements OF pow
er, the temptation to retain public
place once gained, and, more than all,
the availability a party finds in an in
cumbent whom a horde Of Office holders;
with a zeal born of benefits received
and fostered by the hope of favors yet
to come, stand ready to aid with money
and trained political service, we reeog-
MIC in the eligibility of the President
for reelection "a most serious danger TO
that calm, deliberate, and intelligent
political action which must character
ize government by the people"
These were wise and patriotic words,
worthy of the best days of the Republic
and of the most illustrious democrats
who have occupied the White House
and she'd honor and glory upon their
country. And yet the man who utter
cd them was elected President in 1881,
was the defeated nominee for President
in 1888. and in 1892 is a candidate for
denomination. The moral is plain, and
the application equally so.

IT HAS always been IL current belief
in the South, entertained by the wisest
and most obscrvant arl most eNpe-
rienced people, that negroes are inca
pable of the emotion of gratitude. Their
present treatment of Mr.. Harrison goes
far to sustain this belief. He, as Fred
Douglass says, is the real father of the
Force bill ; and though he has not in
vitcd negroes to associate on terms of
social equality with white guests at the
White House, as his democratic predo-
cessor did, he has appointed many Of
them to responsible and lucrative Offices
in Washington and to many Of the
most important federal positions in the
southern States has always had kind
words for them, and has always taken
their part in disputes with their white
neighbors. And yet, at Minneapolis.
in this, his hour of extremity, they not
only desert him, but Join his enemies,
