On' Sunday next at the evening ser
vice it is the purpose of the Rector of

Tho Supremo Court of the United
States hasjust decided that usurious
interest charged by a national bank
vitiates the contract. Such an over
charge works a forfeiture of ail inter
est agreed to be paid. This is in acord
ance with the rulings of our State
Courts
One of the most sensible items in
the new postal law, and one which
everybody will appreciate, is that
which allows a person to write his or
her name on the wrapper and also the
word "from," to let the party receiv
ing it know who it is from, without
violating the law.
We are under obligations to the
three gentlemen, at Wilcox, who have
favored the Advocate with com
munications. In this connection we
will udd that communications from
other sections of the county are ear
nestly solicited and will be thankfully
received.
B. F. Ely has brought us a specimen
ofmillet which is5 feet and 10J inches
in height. The heads are well rilled
out and the stalks are large This
millet was planted June 20th, on land
that was never manured. Millet is a
very fine grain, and is very valuable
for feeding horses, cattle and poultry,
and when properly prepared makes
very good "slapjacks."
We desire to express our heartfelt
thanks through the columns of your
paper, to the pupils of our school who
so beautifully and appropriately deco
rated ourschool room with evergreens
and mottoes and for the warm greeting
we received at their hands upon re
suming our labors for another year.

Burglary. The Methodist church
was burglarized last Monday after
noon, and the missionary box, contain
ing a small quantity of money, taken.
The theft was discovered on Monday
evening, when an official meeting was
being held. The back door was forced
open and two brass locks forced from
the library doors. Suspicion resting
on two boys, Willie Maloue and John
Neill, they were arrested on Tuesday
morning, and brought before Esquire
Mead, who, after a hearing, bound
them over to court and fixed the bail
at $100 each.. In default of bail the
boys were lodged in fort Scull,

Martin Sowers has made over twelve

it. J.
While Governor Seymour is a very
popular man in his State, he is not in
vincible. In 1802, he defeated Gen
eral Wadsworth, Republican, for Gov
ernor, by a small majority, butiu 1804,
he (Seymour) was defeated by Hon.
Reuben E. Fenton. His majority
over Grant in New York in 1868,soine
ten thousand votes, was due to the 60,-
000 majority he received in the city.
Since then the Republicans have de
tected the manner of the frauds of t he
Democracy, and in 1872 the majority
of the latter was kept down to near its
proper proportions about twenty
thousand.
Free speech is no longer allowed by
tho rebel Democracy of Vicksburg,
Mississippi. They give a Republican
speaker a gentle reminder in the shape
of eggs, and, if he fails to heed the
warning, the rifle or pistol will be
brought into requisition. Oh, no! the
Government mustn't interfere to pro
tect citizens in their right to speak
and vote; that would be an invasion of
State rights, us well as an impertinent
interference witli the right of the
rebels to shoot down all who do not
vote their way. What a jovial state
of affairs they will have down South
when the Democracy get into power
again. .Every Northern man wuo
lias helped with his capital and his in
dustry to rebuild the wrecked States
will bo driven North, and his prop
erty confiscated for the use and enjoy
ment of the rebels who were forced to
sell it at the end of tho rebellion.
Pittsburgh Tclcyraph.
The Chicago Times is a Democratic
paper, but it doesn't like the "reform"
platform. It speaks of it as "inaccu
rate and reckless in some of its state
ments," and says: "Reform" is the
word that runs all through it aud
stands conspicuous in nearly every
plank. In this particular, it protests too
much. It is a very easy thing for a
party to promise great things iu the
way of reform, but promises and per
formances are very different things.
When the Democratic party promises
reform it must expect to be judged, like
any other party, by Its record, by its
known principles, if it has any, and
by the character of those who compose
it. The party that produced Tweed
and his crowd of Tammany thieves,
and similar men wherever it has been
in power, and which attracts to itself
almost the entire body of ex-slave
holders and secessionists, together
with the class of men of whom Johu
Morrissey is a distinguished repre
sentative, need not expect that its
promise of reform will bo accepted ab
solutely without question.
The Republic Magazine for Sep
tember is the most powerful number
yet issued of this valuable monthly. No
public man or private citizen who be
lieves in Republican principles should
fail to subscribe for this magazine. It
has been a power for good in former
campaigns, and will so prove in this.

Fall Rivei, Mass.. September 4. The
Manufacturers' Hoard of Trade have de
cided that, if the market remains on the 1st
of October substantially as now. they will
restore half of the last out-down. The
spinners of the Flint mill have demanded
the immediate restoration of the wages, but
no strike has yet taken place.
Our Washington ' special to-day
furnishes some further testimony to
the Democratic Integrity of the past,
which Is just now Interesting leading
in the face of the professions of that
party. It seems that an examination
by the Indian office of the questions
pending between North Carolina and
the Western Cherokees has led to the
unearthing of a Democratic swindle
extending through three administra
tions, and amounting to over $3,000,
000. Tho money stolen was appropri
ated by Congress at various times in
connection with the removal of the
Cherokees from Northern Georgia and
vicinity to the Indian Territory. A
good portion of the money appropria
ted under the treaty of removal went
into the hands of those in the Demo
cratic ring which managed the affair,
and which through the Administra
tions of Presidents Polk, Pierce and
Buchahan continued to press claims,
present bills and secure appropriations
for expenses incurred in the removal.
Where the uctual cost of removal in
many coses was only $20 per head
from $10 to $200 was charged, and iu
the bills for removals fictitious num
bers of Indians were submitted and
allowed. The investigation thus far
has involved a number of Democratic
politicians of tho administrations
named, and lias shown that the money
stolen outright was not less than $!!,
000,000. Theparty of "reform" has an
ugly record, and the above is only one
case out of many that will be de
veloped. ntUburg Telegraph.
