A SCRAP OF HIsToRY.-The Au.
gusta Geo. Chronicle, brings to light
the following summary of the acts and
doings, in former times, Of some of the
prominent anti-bank men Of the pres.
ent.
Strange things will happen. In 1921,
the Legislature Of South Carolina pas.
sed a preamble and resolutions, in re-
ply to a resolution from the Legisla-
ture of Pennsylvania, proposing an "a
mendment to the Constitution, So as to
take away from Congress the power to
incorporate a National Bank, or IN
Bank except within the District OF
Columbia. The Legislature of South
Carolina, in its reply to this proposition
SAID, "that as Congress is constitution
ally rested with the right TO Incorporate
a Bank, 1t wouM be unwise and impoH-
tic 10 restrict its operations acithia such
marrow limits as the District Of Coium-
6ia." A resolution is before the lie
gislature of South Carolina, now in
session, and will no doubt be passed,
declaring a National Bank unconstitu-
tional and in~eGpedient. We should
like to see the yeas and nays both in
1921 and in 1887.
But this is not the only strange
thing that has happened The bill
chartering the United States Bank in
1916, was passed by a majority Of on.
ly nine in the House of Representa-
tlves. OF the members from South
Carolina, SEVEN out OF eight, with Mr..
Calhoun and Mr.. Lowndes at their
head, voted for it'll! Had these seven
votes gone the other way the bill wouM
haze been lost! Of the members from
Georgia, FIVE on. of SiG voted for it'll!
These five were Wilson Lumpkin, Al.
fred Cush5ert, John Forsyth, Richard
Henry Wide and Edward Telfairi -
Had these five voted against the bill IL
would haze been lostH Thus, either
Georgia or South Carolina could have
prevented the charter-but they voted
for it, and so did a majority Of the
members from the Southern Stat, -,
while it was opposed by a majority
Of the members from the Northern
States! 1t was then arepublican mea-
Sure-the measure of a republican adj
ministration-but now If any man in
the South ventures the humble opinion
that such an institution is necessary TO
carry on the fiscal of.the ma
ton, and TO aid our commerce, he is
denounced and damned from Dan to
Beersheba as a vile federalist plotting
against the rights and interests of the
South.

RICHARD HURDIS,


A tale of alabama. Philadelphia, E. L.
Carey &. A. Hart.
A fine masculine novel, by some un-
known hand, said to be person of con-
siderable eminence, whose name if dis
closed, would alone give extensive circu-
lation to the work. But his name is with
held from personal considerations. The
story is one ofcrine and bloodshed, found
ed on facts not very remote, and disclos-
ing appalling scenes of iniquity in our own
country. The author has displayed unu-
sual ability for narrative and characterize
ton. The story is a simple one, and the
narrator goes stI aight forward to the
conclusion, without suffering the readers
interest to flag from beginning to end.
In order to give our readers a just con-
ception of the writer's powers in descriP-
ton and character, we will select a chap
ter. To comprehend it fully, the reader
must understand that Ben Pickett has
been hired by John Hurdis to shoot his
brother, Richard Hurdis, the Narrator.
He has lain in ambush, and shot William
Darlington, Richards travelling compa-
Mon, by mistake, and returned to his en-
ployer, without discovering the error, to
claim his reward.-The scene between
them win bear comparison with Shak-
speare's between Hubert and King John,
in similar circumstances.
HThe murderer of William lay close in
the thicket after he had done the deed.
That murderer was Ben Pickett, and, as
the reader may have OWNED already, his
victim persisted through mistake.-The
fatal cause Of this was in his employment
of my horse circumstance forced upon
him by the necessities of his flight. Pic
kettkpew the horse and looked no farther.

black wretch had seriously inclined her
ear to the whole lecture, 9rinning and blub-

wasnow in a fit OF the snlks. Her mis-.
tress, however, persisted in her question
and not the less pertinaciously, perhaps,
from expecting a new peg Whereon to
hang fresh lecture. She was determine
ed to learn the destination of the stolen
money and by dint of insisting, caiol-
ing, and, above all, threatening-fof in
stance, with the whole Posse Comitatis--
she finally carried her point.

great, in fine, was the confidence she in.
sP'red IN the heart of every member of our
unfortunate band, that those whose fate It
was never to reach the shore alive, when
they felt their hour approaching, requested
as favor, that they might be allowed to
rest their heads upon her lap, and breathe
out their dying moments with all the con-
ISOLATION she was capable of afoFding.-
And thus all those who were unable to
survive the horrorsofthat awful hour, with
their last looks turned towards her who

And trembles at the sound:

From out her cavern hoar,
And every wandering bird that flies
Reproves the Atheist-lore.
The solemn forest lifts It's head,

High swells the deep and vengeful sea,
Along his bllowy track,
And red Vesuvius opes his mouth,
To hurl the falsehood back.

The cocoa's leafy shade,
The bread-fruit, bending to its lord,
In yon far island-glade;
The winged seeds, that borne by winds,
The rowing sparrows feed,
The melon, on the desert-sands,
COnfute the scorner's creed.

Mould its green cup, its wiry stem,

And cut the gold embossed gem.

A QUEER CONTROVERSY

Is'now going on between Joseph Ritner
and his friends. The Governor wants to
be an abolitionist, but his friends, finding
how unpopular this dark subject is, wont
let him. He says he is an abolitionist, but
his friends wont Believe him, and say he is
not. At last wrathy beyond farther endu-
rance, he writes to his Pittsburg abolition
friends, that he is an abolihonist; and for
proof refers them to his abolition message
of 1886, '37, assuring them that his opin-
ions have undergone NO CHANGE !
Still his friends wont believe him, and con-
tend that his Exellency LIES.
