SouTH CARoLINA.-Gov. Atkins Of
South Carolina, was inaugurated on the
10Th inst, and made brief inaugural I'D
dress, and its topics were altogether Of
general character and tendency. OF the
recent embassy of Mr.. Hoar, Of Massa-

ing language:
The subject Of abolition is one which
calls rather for the mos, unrelaxlng vigi-
ance, than for any discussion upon our
part. Recent events make II perhaps prop
err that should make some illusions TO it.

Wilson Shannon is not likely TO cover him

MORE INSULT TO THE PEOPLE.

1t is well remembered that in 1910, Mr..
Buchanan and Mr.. Tappan, two loco foco
Senators, advocated the reduction of wages
to the standard Of about ten cents day and
and this would cover the country with bless
ings and benefits! Levi Woodbury., in his late
anti-Tariff speech in the United States SEN
ate, which was revised by himself and pub
lished in the Globe, used the following Ian
guage:
by which means protective duties) the
workmen are enabled to tax the home con-
sumner by great prices, while the higher wages
they receive, make them neither happier nor
richer, since they only drink more and loork
less"
This outrageous insult TO the workmen OF
our country, shows the feeling of Loco Fo-
coism and its contempt for any thing like
honest industry. For many years Levi
Woodbury. has been fed from the public
purse-he is retained in office by his political
friends, and while at the expense of the Ma
ton, he drinks expensive foreign wine and
feeds at the pampered tables of aristocracy,
he dares offer as a reason why workman
should not receive higher wages, that he will
then drink more and cork less. How do the
workingmen of Connecticut like this SANDER

HoN. JOHN NJ. NILES.

So soon as it was known in Connecti-

Mr. Gideon Welles, prominent Loco Fo.

bany, where he was met by MIR w. and
taken post.haste to Washington, passing
through the city on Friday. The inten-
ton Of course is that he shall be qualified
and take his seat in the U. s. Senate.
The Troy Wing of Saturday says:
JOHN M. Nnss.--The Loco Foco jour-
mails state that this gentleman has entire
ly recovered with the exception of q
slight rheumatic affection. This is a
great error. We are informed by a near
connection of Mr. Niles that his friends
consider him as hopelessly insane. We
may add to this that gentleman of the
highest respectability, stated in this city
two or three days ago, that he was in
Utica the day previous and was not al
lowed by Mr. Brigham,the Superintendent
of the Hospital, to see Mr. Niles, moth
withstanding the long intimacy which ex>
listed between them He inquired which
was Mr. Niles room, and was pointed to a
loom fitted up with gratings and all the
other safeguards of lunatic's cell.
Now ifMr Niles is suffering from no
other cause than rheumatism, why put a

tai is not certainly an appropriate place

productive of vast good, but we did moi
think it would restore Loco Foco to

Home Manufactures cheaper than Foreign.
Since the manufacture Of Cotton goods
commenced in this country in 1916, the
prices have been reduced on an average about
tro-hnds. Woelen goods, oil-cloths, refn-
ed sugar, cut nails, spikes, and the various
articles of iron manufacture, leather, pins,
SC. sc. have all fallen materially in price,
the moment protection has been sufficient to
raise domestic competition. 1t is scarcely
possible to put ones finger on an article Of

higher prices of agricultural prOducts.-N.
