AS to what the people of Georgia should
do under the atrocious outrage which has
been perpetrated upon that State by Con-
gress, the Cincinnati Enquirer says:


g While We would not assume to criticise
our friends in that State, we can say with
truth that public sentiment among the
friends of the constitution in the North
eounsels them to maintain passive submis-
sion, but to do nothing of positive charae-
ter that woEld commit them to this reFelu-
tionary violence. If the ratification Of the
fifteenth amendment is required, let it be
done by negroes and earpet-baggers alone i;
the people should have no hand Ia it. An
active compliance with the conditions will
not propitiate, as some may weakly imagine,
the Jacobin dynasty The more that is
yielded the more viii be required One
demand is the basis of another, just as their
partisan necessities may seem to require.
What is really necessary is the exercise of a
little patience and endurance by the perse-
cuted South. This State of things can not
exist long, and viii soon, we trust, be swept
away but it can not be hastened by any
ablation in the pool of humiliation and
political disgrace.

ratifv all such railroad aid bonds as
have been issued and delivered to par
ties in good faith Besides the bonds
which have been used and are now in
the hands of innocent purchasers and
holders. there is another and much
larger class which have been sold but
not delivered to the companies for
whose benefit they were designed; Of
these there is now in the office OF the
treasurer the sum OF S3,il0,S3oSO,
which might be divided into several
classes, but Tor present purposes snail
consider them as of two classes only,
first, such as have been pledged to roads
that are being constructed and on which
expenditures of labor and money to a
greater or less extent have been made
in anticipation of the aid so voted; sec,
ond such as have been regularly voted
and deposited with the treasurer for the
benefit of the proposed roads but on
which no work as yet has been done.
In some cases the bonds embraced in
the first of the two classes named were
nearly earned by railroad companies,
and had been negotiated and paid OIL.
The purchase price advanced before the
decision of the court had been rendered.

THE NEW REBELLION in Richmond, headed
by Ellison, whom Governor Walker has at

Ellison to be Mayor was taken before the

unconstitutional. But he declines to yield,
and sets the judgment Of the law at defiance.

after saying that this change sis indeed a

"other act of the kind, from the foundation
''of the Government to the present time, he
urges tnas consress take all the means with
in their constitutional power. to promote

This is counsel so wise, and so excellent,
that it should have the attention of the
whole country. Enfranchisement is come !;
1t is just, and anything less is not only unjust
but dangerous. But, with enfranchisement
must come also education, or the act of JUS
tice will be shorn of half its value.

THE PROMPT AoQUIEsoENoE of the Mary
land Democrats in the operations of the 10Th
Amendment, is hardly less than remarkable.
A meeting of their State Committee, at An
napolis, few days ago, advised the passage
of law by the Legislature, giving full
means of registration to the colored men,
and in accordance with the recommendation
the bill has already passed the House OF
Delegates, and will not be delayed in the
Senate. As both of these are unanimously
Democratic, this action shows that their par
,y leaders are desirous of winning some
share of the colored vote, fearing lest they
may lose their control over the State, should
they pretend to despise it,as the Dover Ring,
in Delaware, have preferred to do.

SOUTHERN RELIEF ASSOCIATION.
AT q meeting of the Southern
Relief Association Of Maryland,
held on the 5th Of May, is. it
was resolved that the Southern
Relief Association of Maryland be
and is hereby dissolved.


In taking this action, the ladies
regret that they are compelled to
give sorrow to SO many of their
Southern friends who still seek
and hope for relief from them ;
but the treasury is empty, and,
with no prospect Of replenishing
it, they do not feel justified in
holding out, through the Associa-
ton, any hope Of relief which they
are unable to fulfill.


The ladies connected with the
late Association will be most hap
py to act individually as almoncrs
for those who may still be dis
posed to extend their charities to
the South, assuring their friends
that any aid or sympathy for
them will be most gratefully re-
ccived by the "wiGow and the ia
thcrless."

in brandy, we clip the following
from an exchange, for the benefit
of those desiring information on

them with a large needle and rub

the water does more than simmer
very slightly, or if the fro be

lift them carefully out and fold
them in flannel or soft tablecloth

RAISE Your CoLrs.-It has
struck US often, in our obsorva-
tions on the rural economy Of our
people, that we are very generally
chargeable with great oversight
in our neglect of Using work
stock. We speak experimcntally
when we say that under most un-
favorable circumstances a colt can
be raised for about twenty-five
dollars, to working age, and a
mule tor about what it takes to
raise a calf. If ono doos not

is good for. let him try mule rails.
ing by it's help, and he will see.


1t certainly cannot be mere fam
cy in us when We avow our strong
conviction Of the superior value Of
q Southern raised horse or mule.
We do rot hesitate to say that we
much prefer TIE animal which has
been reared hore to one matured
further North. Much Of the ad-
vantage in the difference, wo
think, results from the mode of
raising probably moro than in the
fact of climate. A colt Of any
kind, which from it's birth, is
forced and brought forward with
all expedition, that a prize may
be had for him as soon as possible,
must, we think, come into market
with q confirmed softness and an
immaturity which will not be
very conducive to a strong con-
stitution or much durability.


We have known Georgia raised
mules which, in their rearing,
Jared little botter than calves,
which wcre as gay colts, at fifteen
years Of age.

HOME CnEERFULNEss.-Many a
child goes astray, not because
there is a want Of prayer or virtue
at home, but simply because home
lacks sunshine. A child needs
smiles as much as flowers need
sunbcams. Children look little
beyond the present moment. If
thing pleascs, they are apt to
seek it if it displeascs, :hey are
prone to avoid it. If homo is the
place where faces arc sour, and
words harsh, and tault-fnding is
ever in the ascendant, they will
spend as many hours as possible
elsewhere. Let every father and
mother, then, try to be happy.
Let them talk to their children,
especially the little ones, in such
a way as to make them happy.

The schema of the dogma OF


Papal Infallibility, which has
been adopted in the Ecunenical
Council. contains FIVE canons as
follows:


l. If any man should say that
the Episcopal Chair of the Roman
Church is not the true and real
infallible chair of the Blessed Pc
ter, or that it has not been divine
ly chosen by God as the most solid
indefectible and incorruptible
rock of the whole Christian
Church, let him be anathema.


2. II any one should say that
there exists in the world another
infallible chair OF the truth of
the Gospel of Christ our Lord dis
tinct and separate from the chair
of Blessed st. Peter, let him be
anathema.


.. Ii any one should deny that
the divine magisterium Of the
chair of Blessed Peter is necessa-
ry to the true way OF salvation
for all men, whether unfaithful
or faithful, whether laymen or
bishops, let him be anathema.


4. If any one should say that
each Roman POntiff, legitimately
elected, is not by divine right, the
of Blessed Peter. even
in the gift of the infallibility for
teaching the church the word of
God pure from all corruption and
error. let him be anathema.


5. If any one should say that
councils are established by !
God in the church as power of
the divine flock in the
word of faith superior to the Ro-
man Pontiff, or equal to him, or
necessary by divine institution in
order that the magisterium of the
Roman Bishops should be pre-
served infallible, let him be ana

Rev. Linus Parker, editor of

recently been taking a Northern
and Eastern tour. Here is part
of bis description of the ride from
Buffalo to Albany:


The farm lands adjacent to the
New York Central Railroad, from
one extremity of the State to the
are rarely worth less than
$l00 per acre, and are often at a
much higher figure. The value
of lands throughout the North is
a matter of wonder. Nearly every
part of the country, we may safe
ly say nearly every neighborhoOd,
is reached by some railway, and
lands quite remote from the great
centers and thoroughfares are rare
ly held at less than $50 to S75.
We are at loss to know how any
reasonable per cent. can be real
lied from investments at these
prices but the people grow rich
er every year, and the country
prospers. The products on these
highest farms would seem not to
be particularly profitable. habor
is comparatively high, laboring
men receive by the month as much
as $25 or $50. Work by the day
in harvest and other emergencies
is very much higher.

containing forty gallons of whisky
or water (the former is preferred,
we presume,) and raise it from
the ground and drink out of the
bunghOle with as much ease as
another could out of a common
pitcher; and he has frequently
taken a barrel of -four under each

not be used by two; quick, choose
or I'll kill you where you stand


Seeing that he was to be al
lowed q chance for life, all hi
composure returned, for, villain
though he was, he could not b
accused of cowardice.


Taking his own knife from
Dams hand, he pointed to tn,
rifle leaning against the tree t,
Dams right.


Without a word Dan seized ant
discharged it into the air.


'Now, the knife is all either of
US have; defend yourself if yor
can, / mean to kill you,' was, the
cool remark as he laid aside the
smoking gun.


For moment these strong mer
viewed each other-the one ex
hibiting in his countenance firm
fixed determination. and the Other
an expression that partook of
both rage and fear.


Bright as the flash of the sun
beam from the polished blades
were the glances with which each
regarded the other.


But a brief moment they stood
thus, then with q leap like the
hidden panther, Dan sprang at
his foe; each grasped with bis
left hand his adversary's right,
and powerless while thus held,
each struggled for the mastery.
Alike in height and build, seem
ingly equally in strength, the is
sue was long and doubtful.


It was with a feeling OF des-
pair that Dan telt his enemy slow
ly wrenching his armed hand
from his grasp, while his own
seemed imprisoned in a vice.
Slowly the stubborn fingers are
forced to yield to the steady pow
erful strain; and already Dan sees
the triumphant glitter of his op-
ponent's eye.


Just as Clark freed his hand
and raised it for the blow, Dan
clenched his fist and with a quick,
powerful Elow dashed his foe from
him. Free again they paused for
a moment; great drops of sweat
stood upon their brows, their
breath came thick and fast from
beneath their clenched teeth.


This time Clark sprang to the
attack, infuriated by the blow in
his face, the knives clashed togeth-
er with a clear, ringing sound, and
naught is left in Dams hand but a
buckhorn handle-the steel that
had been faithful through SO many
encounters had proven treacher-
Gus at last, and in his moment of
direst need.


A cry OF JOY escaped the lips
of his foe as he heard the broken
blade ring upon the rocks at his
feet. The end was near, but how
different from what he expected.


Ere any advantage could be ta-
ken of his misfortune, Dan sprang
back and seized large stone,
hurling it with terrible force
In vain was the effort made to
avoid the mass of hurting stone;
fairly and squarely it struck the
broad breast of the renegade white,
carrying him down by lis weight
and power a bruised, senseless
mass of humanity.


Springing forward with a fer
vent prayer on his lips, Dan gazed
upon the dying struggles of bis
bitter enemy; even had not the
rock ended his career Of villainy,
his knife would, as he fell upon
it, driving it to the guard into his
side. On remaining long enough
to be sure that death had indeed
claimed his victim, the survivor
of this terrible, unseen conflict,
gathered up his arms and depart
ed, with only the simple sentence:
