A QUIETUS 1 OR FINCHBACK.
The vote upon the. aJmiebion of
Pinchback.io a ' seat in the United
States Senate baa been, reached at last.
The ballot was 82 again!, to 29 in
favorf his admission. When in Wash
ington, ire 6aw this ill used darkey,
and did not like his looks, but the
aversion we then formed has now giv
en away to pity. We feel sorry for
him, tor he has been stabbed in the
house of bia associates and friends. In
refusing this darkey a seat, the Be
publicans have not only exhibited bad
faith, t ut a glaring inconsistency be
sides. They endorsed Kellogg in all
his usurpations and tyranny over the
people of Louisiana, declared that lie
was the legally elected Governor, and
kept him in power by armed soldiers;
yet a number of Ihem alleged that the
applicant's credentials were worthless,
because of the signature of the usurp
er Kellogg, whom they retain to op
press and plunder the unfortunate
people of Louisiana. Ah, consistency
thou art in truth a jewel !
A GHOST
WITH A

LIGHTED
The spirit of the eccentric old Dio
genes, is now stalking abroad over the
land ; he never makes his appearance
except in day time, and he always car
ries a lighted candle in his hand; he
stops and crazes earnestly in the faces
of many, but moves on with a disap-
nointed look. We don't know what
he wants with him, but he says he is
hunting for one honest Federal offi
cial there is none he alleges in Wash
ington, and like the Wandering Jew,
the old man still moves on to rest
only when he sees the object for
which he is searching one honest ap
pointee, of President Grant !
GOOD ROOTERS.
'The love of money is the root of
all evil." President Grant and his ex
emplary Cabinet cry out, give us plen
ty of tbe root; and judging from the
length of their snouts and their in
dustry in the lreasury helua, one
would select them as the best breed of
rooters now known. They are firm
believers in the old adage of "root hog
or die," and we fear their love of this
work is so strong;, that they will die
soon from over-exertion.
NICE LITTLE GAME OP "DRAW.
Our Minister to the Court of St.
James, Mr. Schenck, who has acquired
so much celebrity as the author of a
treatise upon "poker,' 'has flushed Eog

Mr. Schenck alleges his opponent only
held one queen anyway, and England
is at sea to account for it. Meanwhile

lows that chafe upon the shore, and
the wide Atlantic that bears upon her
bosom the tormentor that poked so
murh fun at him, rises upon his hind
legs and roars in impotent rage.

SweetlPototoes.- As to soil, a sandy

prepare the lard, it is halt the crop to
be put in. clean , land;, even a clover

produce potatoes. During the winter
the pine trash, or tags, are raked up
with the hoe, gathering s much

is raked ut, the land will become too

years is suflicient to continue plant

In Forsyth, one day last week, a
gentleman standing in the street
noticed a two mule wagon drive up to
one of the stores. There was nothing
peculiar in this, but what particularly
struck his attention was the fact that
the driver, a colored man, had an ex
ceedingly lengthy pair of reins, and
was seated in the hindmost part of the
wagon. When the team stopped, the
negro cautiously fastened the lines to
a standard, got out over the hind
wheel, and.; made a circle of forty or
fifty feet to get to the beads of the
mules. This so excited the gentle
man's curiosity that he walked up and
asked: "Look here, uncle, you are
not crazy, are you ?"
"Does I look like a crazy nigger,
Mars Tom I"
Well, what in the name of com
mon sense are vou cutting up incse
antics for walking almost twice
around the wagon to get to your
mules, and sitting on the 'gate' to
drive?"
The negro looked at the gentleman
a moment and then burst into an un
controllable fit of laughter.
'What the devil do you mean r
"Mars Tom, don't you know dat off

"Well, what the mischief is the mat

Secretary Belknap has not diei came
He. has let slip an opportunity to
cover much of his disgrace by a little
heroism. He might have gone before
the committe when he found that his
olay was played out, and claimed all
the responsibility for the deed that
has brought ruin on his house and
name. Having done that, he might
have asked the committee to excuse
him for a moment, and then stepped
to some neighboring and convenient
locality and performed the deed, the
non-performance of which he subse
quently regretted in his hurried inter
view with President tyrant, aucn t
taking off by his own hand would not
have been orthodox, no one could
have counseled it, and it would have
nassed into history as the rash act of
a desperate man ; but when one looks
at him, looks at his tamily, looks at all
the singular and startling circumstan
ces ot his case, nearly every one
might involuntarily catch up the
president's response to the secretary's
regret, ana exclaim : i wisn you

out of the world. It is mean and
cowardly for any man to fling himself
into the oblivion ot deatn merely to
avoid the face of danger, but there are
times when .a man may die as heroi
cally for his family and his friends as
for his country. Condemn suicide as

bad as the murder of our fellow-man

with the man who, bad as his career
mav have been, seeine the iie up and
all hope lost, coolly concludes that it
is time for him to ieavethe world s
stage and so make his exit.
Belknap did not do this. He has
gone out and gone down without even
the heroism or a commonplace
murderer on a jailyard scaffold.

One may live as a conqueror, a king,

human being to his pure individuali

that deepest and most solemn of all

creature and Creator. Here it is that

This is best done immediately, so as to
