A LIGHT VOTE IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEW


TAX LAW.


by TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD


ATLANTA Jan. u. 1872
At the election for county officers in Georgia first
held under the new constitution which says that
taxes shall be paid before voting. hardly fifty per cent
Of the voters had paid their taxes The vote was light
white property holders who could not conveniently
pay generally declining to vote The negroes
hand in force aud as they generally owed only poll
tax their taxes were paid in hundreds by the cand
dates. The tendency of the law is to dsfranchse
small property holders who cannot pay promptly
and will let candidates pay for them The law is
very unpopular from its first test

THE following significant express ion of southern democratic sentiment, printed in all Ckolona (Miss) plper of March 12th has just been received at tWashin gton and attracts much atten tion: Thank God we have captured the capitol, and in 1880 our man will walk up the White House steps and take his seat in the presidential chair. Then will our glorious triumph be complete. Then will we proceed to to tear your amendments from the constitution and trample them in the mire Then will we break the shack les you have forged for the free, sov- erign, and independent common wealths of the Union Then will we recognize the right of secession-a right that is not dead, but. sleeping. Then will we decorate the capitol with pictures of Lee, Davis and Stu art and all the glorious leaders of a cause that is not lost, but living still Yes, thank God, Nss have captured the capitol, and from that coigne of vantage we propose to rule the Re public in a way that will make your radical leaders forever odious in America.

sounds and labors until the freshness and vi
vacity of the spirit become worn out. We
are so constituted that our natures demand
for their enjoyment of life. and for the vigor-
GUS exercise of our powers, change variety
and relaxation For hack of these the inter-
est in life diminishes the mental horizon

not worth the living Then come various un-
happy moods and take possession of the mind
70 learn to control and Danish unhealthy
moods is one of the tasks that must be under
taken by every woman who would lead hap
py and useful life The first step is to recog-
nize their existence and influence. Reason
must be called to the aid to declare that feel
ings of dependency, hopelessness, complaint
and dscouragement are but the result of q
mood, and therefore can be resolutely held in
check. If one can only bring ones self to
make the frank acknowledgement mentally


81 feel mean, cross and ugly today" and
then to restrain speech and action according
ly, the battle is half won. But vigorous ac-
ton must be resorted to in order to dispel
the mood, and for this nothing is so effective
for woman as to leave home, even if but for
an hour. Get away where other influences
will act upon the mind and body. If despond-
ency and a complaining mood are dominant,
go to see some fellow-creature who is in real
distress the remedy is almost a specific for
such a mood. Above all things moods need
to be dealt with effectively, not subicctively.
Don't go to introspection; don't think about
yourself; don't set it down to a sinful heart,
or to any religious or irreligious cause The
cause of moods is purely physical one, aud
must be reached through the physical nature.
Change Of occupation of surroundings, of
mir and exercise are the remedies for moods.

GES. GRANTS PLANS. John Russell Young,
who is with the Grant party, en- route to
India, writes as follows to the New York
Herald


| observe so much speculation in home pa-
pers MS to the length and object of the gen
erals Asian visit, that shall try and give you
some information on the subject. Gen. Grant
himself has no plans. He hopes to be in Cal
ifunia late in the summer or early in the au-
tumn. lie will spend some time on the Pa
cifc coast, visiting the scenes where he served
III the army twenty five years ago and which
he has not visited since. He is extremely
anxious to visit California and would like to
90 through Mexico from the Pacifc, but
have no idea that he will do 50. lie will in all
probability so time his arrival in California
and his departure for the East as to attend
one of the annual army meetings in ihe fall.
If he visits Mexico it will be in winter going
from New York to Vera Cruz. These are all
the plans the general has made. The inter
yening time hc will spend in India, China,
Japan, and if possible in a run to Australia
do not think lie will visit Australia. As to the
time he will spend in these countries or
when he will reach them no one can
tell. The general himself is at the mercy of
events and of the humor that seizes him as he
goes along. There is this, however, that he
is n rapid and severe traveller, seeing sights
without delay and always anxious to 60 on.
Mr., Borie's health may to some extent affect
the duration Of the journey. But, happily,
Mr.. Borie has shown steady improvement
since he came from home, and will probably
put to shame the endurance and patience of
that remnant of the expedition which is known
as 'the boys" As to whether the general
will embark or not on the Richmond will de-
pend upon the movements of the vessel her
self and the needs of the service If he should
encounter her ON the way, and found she was
going in his direction he would probably go
with her. He would be among friends and
countrymen, and so pleasant was his time on
the Vandalia that he would like to repeat the
experiment, But his own plans are entirely
Independent of the man-of-war.

The PoT OF COMA cobbler in Somer-


setshire dreamed that person told him that
| if he would go to London bridge he would
| meet with something TO his advantage. He
| dreamed the same the next night, and again
| the night after. IIO then determined to go
to London bridge, and walked thither accord
ingly. When arrived there, he walked about


the whole of the first day without anything
occurring; the next day was passed in "A sim
liar manner. He resumed his place the third
day, and walked about till evening, when,


giving it up as hopeless, he determined to


leave London and return home. At this mo-


ment a stranger came up and said to him: 4


have seen you for the last three days walking


up and down this BRIDGE may ask if you


are waiting for any oneY The answer was,


'Non Then what is your object in staying


here ? The cobbler then frankly told his rea-


son for being there and the dream that had


visited him for three successive nights The


stranger then advised him to go home again


to his work, and pay no more attention to
dreams. 4 myself he said, had, about six


months ago, dream. l dreamed three nights


together that, if would go into Somerset
shire, in an orchard, under an apple-tree, l
should find pot of gold but paid no at
tenton to my dream and have remained qui-
etly at my business 1t Immediately occur
red to the cobbler that the stranger described
his own orchard and his own apple-tree. He
Immediately returned home dug under the
apple-tree and found a pot of gold. After
this increase of fortune he was enabled to
send his son to school, where the boy learn
ed Latin. When he came home for the hOli-
days, he one day examined the pot which had
contained the gold, on which was some writ
ing. He said, Father, can show you that
what have learned at school is of some use.'
He then translated the Latin Inscription on
the pot thus Look under, and you will find
better. They did look under, and large
quantity of gold was found" As the story is
good one, it would be pleasant to fancy that
it could possibly be true.-Saturddy ReUieiO.

ONLY A STocKHoLDER. .-Apropos of the as
founding defalcations which were committed
in Fall River several months ago, by which
many prominent business men and stockhold-
ers in extensive corporations were ruined, a
little incident is reported to have occurred in
this city recently which intelligently points
out the difference in the positions of stock
holders and grasping officials. Two ragged
and dirty street Arabs were standing in front
of n cigar store in which were displayed a va
riety of pipes, cigars and tobacco. Now
these gamins had learned to smoke with the
assurance and dignity of veterans and one of
them felt desire to invest cent or two in
purchasing a pipe and tobacco. He turned
his pockets inside out, but could not find a
single copper Looking sadly at his compan-
ion, he said, Paddy, if had another cint /
would buy pipe and some tobacco" The
other At once made a vigorous search through
his pockets and finally triumphantly drew
out the desired penny. He handed it TO his
companion who lost no time in entering the
store, purchased a clay pipe and sufficient
tobacco to fill it, and joined his companion.
They walked along the streets for several
minutes, Paddy ever and anon casting his
eyes ON the pipe which his friend held firmly

A GEORGIA CouBr INCIDENT.-The legisla-
ture of Georgia having passed a stringent law
against pistol carrying, Judge Lester of that
State enforced it in a novel way short time
since While holding court he suddenly sus-
pended proceedings, ordered the sheriff to
lock the door and let no one out and then in
formed those present that he had seen a pis-
tol on one man in that room, and that lie felt
it might be his duty to 90 before the grand
jury and have him indicted but if h. would
come forward and lay down the pistol and
a fine Of II the matter would be over
looked. One after another from among the
lawyers, witnesses aud jurymen came forward,
until there were lying on the table - pistols
aud reyolyers, and as many dollar bills. This
is right, said the judge each one advanc-
ed, but you are not the man" There was
pause, and the Judge resumed Gentlemen,
here are ~ persons who have acted like men
but the man saw has not yet come forward.
| will give him one minute longer to accept
my proposition if he does not in that time,
| will point him out to the sheriff and order
that he be taken into custody" Immediately
two men in the rear of the court room arose;
they looked at each other a moment. but it
was too late they had committed themselves
and could not do other than 60 forward and
lay down their pistols and their dollars. One
of these the judge designated as the original
culprit, and the law having thus been vindi-
Gated the court proceeded with its regular
business.

SINCE the last issue, Hon Phil
etus Sawyer has been in the city,
looking after his interest recently
purchased in the North Wisconsin
road. AS to what the company will
do the coming season in the way OF
extending the line he says will not
be fully determined until after the
Stockholders meeting next month,
though he rather favors building
only as fast as the Law requires.
Twenty miles will be made this
year anyhow, though Mr.. S. does
not regard it wise to lay much more
than that amount per year, as his
policy is to make the line earn its
way through, as much as possible.
But the fact that he has invested lis
money IN the road gives strong con-
fdence to the people up this way
that the square thing will be done
by them, even if it is not extended
as rapidly as the more sanguine
would like Hudson Star and

WASHING DIsHEs.-It seems that
all housekeepers are wrong in using
soap to wash dishes. The right
way to do is to have your water
quite hot and add very little milk
to it. This softeus the water, gives
tie dishes a fine gloss, and pre-
serves he hands; it removes the
grease-even that from beef, and
yet no grease is ever floating on the
water, as when soap is used. The
stone vessels should be set on the
stove with little water in them,
when the victuals are taken from
them thus they are hot when ene is
ready 10 wasl, them, and the grease
Is very easily removed. Tinware
keeps bright longer cleaned in this
way than by using soap or by scour-
ing. The habit so many of us have
acquired of securing tins is a waste
ful policy; the present style OF tin
ware will not bear it. The tin is
soon scrubbed away, aud a vessel
that is fit tor roihing is left on oul
hands.

adjusted as to weigh anything up to twelve
pounds with perfect accuracy; on the top of
the column is the platform on which the ar

have an adjustable Indicator so that YOU can

Housekeepers at once see their value in
weighing fruits, sugars and other ingredients

HOMEMADE VINEGAR.-Steep a
pint of good firm corn in two and a
half gallons of water for two or
three hours, and then put it on the
fire and boil it until the corn shows
signs of bursting. Take it off be-
fore the grains do burst, and strain
off the liquor, adding half a pourd
of sugar to each gallon. Place the
cask, or the jug containing it, in the
sun, and in three weeks or a month
the liquor will be converted into
good vinegar. The writer tried
this receipt, using molasses instead
of sugar in one case, but the sugar
makes far better vinegar. 1t is both

The devil came up 10 the earth one day.
And to a court house wended his way
Just as an attorney, with very grave face,
Was proceeding to argue .ths points in the case.
Nov a lawyer His Majesty never had seen,
For In his dominions none ever had been
And he felt very angry the reason to know
why none had been sent to the region below.
Twas the fault Of his agent His Majesty thought,
That none Of these lawyers had ever been canght
And for his own pleasure he felt desire,
Tocome to the earth and the reason inquire.
Well, this lawyer who rose with sisage so grave,
Made bis opponent consummate knave;
And the devil then was greatly amused
To hear the attorney SO loudly abused.
But as soon as the speaker had come to close,
The counsel opposing him hercely arose
And heaped such abuse on the head of the frst,
AS made him a villain-ot all men the worst
Thus they quarrecd, coniended and argued 90


long, e
Twas hard 10 determine which one was wrong;
And concluding he'd heard quite enough Of the


fuss,


"o,d Nick turned away and soliloquized thus:
II all they have said Of each other be true,
The devil has scarcely been robbed of his due;
But I'm satisfied now that it's all very well,
For these lawyers would ruin the morals Of hell
They have puzzled the cour, with their viilainous


cavil.


And I'm tree to confess they have puzzled the


devil;
My agents are right to let lawyers alone
II had them they'd swindle me out ofmy throne.

AYERS PnLs have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilatiyc organs Of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-

stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffied the best of
human skill. While they produce power
fal effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their ape-ient action they gripe much less
than the common purga;iyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements Of weakness.
