The Augusta Frauds.

How any honest man can approve
of the methods used in the registra-
ton of voters in Augusta, Georgia
is more thar we can see.
The number of negroes registered
as just twenty-one is evidence of
fraud. Yet by this manipulation
they claim to nave elected demo
erat, and are trying to crow. The
whole affair has the stencil of fraud
aud rottenness.
The msn Black, who claims the
election also claims to be Chris
tian gentleman, and an honest man.
If he was questioned he would say
he was ia favor of American liberty,
and majority rule, etc, but bis acts
are belieiug his professions if he &C
oepts office by such frauds and ras-
cality as that enacted in Augusta.
Ii Black holds his fraudulently
obtained seat in congress, will he
vote for the welfare of his people !

silver Democrats away from the anti
monopoly candidate. And after this
candidate is nominated, if they find
he don't answer the purpose, he will
be dropped, and monopolists-De-
mocrstic and Republican, will center
their votes on the Republican. The
fight is between monopoly and the
people and ee had as well prepare
for the fray. The monopolists will
be united the only possible defense
is union among the people.

editors must discuss it by proposing
plans. Out of the multitude Of coun-
seli will come wisdom. Let them
reproduce each others articles, when
worth it, so that the people may have
a chance to form an opinion for
themselves as to which is the better
plan. If each class of editors con-
tents itself with whispering in a
corner to its own readers it will
amount to nothing. The different
classes of editors must discuss the
matter with each other and with each
others people, if an agreement is
reached. They should begin it now,
for the agreement must be reached
before conventions are called and
nominations made. After that it is
too late, everlastingly too late.
This discussion should be fearless
but courteous of course. 1t should
be concilatory in view of the great
common purpose to be accomplished.
Don't be afraid of offending the
Northeast: however, for not an anti
monopolist will you elect in all that
region round about Wall street.

lesson of the Kenosha celebration was
that there is some good in every hui
man being, no matter how low, ignor-
ant or deprayed he may be. +" / learn
something at all such places, 7 said Col.
McMynn, and one of the things I
learned at Kenosha this week is that
the human mind is full of possibilities.
1t was an impressive object lesson to
me, the sight of some Of the people
whom [ assisted to train as pupils over
forty years ago. If [ were teacher
again, and | should be if | could hear,
! would never again despair of being
able to make something out of the dull
est pupil, or even of those who appear
inclined to be vicious Some of the
best citizens of the present day are
people who would have come into one
or the other class in thase times, and
saw several of them at Kenosha whose
station in life fairly astonished me. /
had feared for their future, for they
seemed at that time to care nothing
about it themselves, or unable to climb
the ladder of learning even to its low
est rounds. But though dull then and
on the road to depravity, according to
appearances, they found a rallying
point somewhere and came out upon
the right road. Such lessons are valu-
able, for they renew our faith in human
nature, perhaps at time when it is
sorely tried, and teach us that there
are possibilities for good everywhere"
This is the substance of the talk,
though by no means the language used
by Mr.. McMynn in detailing his
thought in that direction. 1t made a
deep impression on the mind and it is
an attempt to recall the thought from
it, though in far less impressive lang
uage than served to convey it. Up to
the past few years the life of Col.
McMynn has been very busy one.
He has record, and a good one, as a
soldier during the rebellion, where he
obtained the military title by which he
is known. He was also state superin
tendent, or as the title was in those
times, superintendent of public instruc
ton, for four years after he returned
from the army, or from 1864 to 1868.
The rest Of his life until his retirement
from active work a few years ago has
been spent in teaching, many years
having been spent by him at the head
of an academy in Racine, which at
tanned a great educational reputation.

Horses and Earthauakes.

It is a well-known fact, says the Mas
cot, that horses can hear sounds that are
not perceptible to human ears. For days
previous to the great earthquake in the
Riviera the horses of that locality
showed every symptom of fear, which
continued without change Of character,
unless it was in the direction of greater
frenzy, till the fury ofsthe great convul-
sion broke forth. Not until a few sec
onds, however, before the earth began to
tremble did human beings hear the sub
terranean rumblings. One writer from
the scene says that in his opinion the
horses knew that the quake was on the
way from seventy-two to one hundred
hours before their masters heard or felt
the first jar.
