Ex-GoU Graham, ofNorth Carolina,
on the Situation.
. = =

Hon. VIM. A Graham Of North Carolina,
in a letter to a resident Of Van Buren,, Ark,
writes as follows respecting the political
istuation of the South:
The situation of the States Of the South
to which you allude, is indeed melancholy.
We are realizing the truth of the declara-
ton of Mr.. Fox, that "the most dangerous
Of all revolutions is restoration" The
idea Of distraining the States by military
domination, into the adoption Of constitu-
tons for local governments, with the right
Of suffrage extended to negroes without
any Qualification except being of the male
sex and over twenty.one years OF age, and
by the Howard amendments to the Con-
stitution Of the United States at the same
time DISTINGUISHING all men Of experience
and influence among us is the most solemn
farce that has been enacted in all history
It ia To roll. back the tide civilization
two centuries at least, and place the, ballot
in the hands Of a constituency lessyquab
fed for the Office Of government than has
ever before exercised it in any republican
country. The Board Of Registers of,vo'
tiers has just been announced here, aEd in
Icludes one negro to two white men through
out the State. When the. whole series o.
steps in the, process Of Reconstruction
as it is called, shall have been fully CON
templated. / think the. people. whefeVe
they constitute majorities, will End it t.
their interest, to vote against convention
for the objects IN view, and bear with th'
reign OF military government until ahotbe
appeal can be made to public opinion at tn
North, and especially in the Northwest.

nation from Hon. G.. c. Crouch Southern

Its culture is very similar to that of corn.
Plant as early as possible, in rows three
and a half feet apart, three to FIVE seed in a
hill, leaving a wider space between every

plant is up and plowed out thin to two or
three stalks in hill. When the seed be-

The Acting Vice President Scared

n Senator Wade closed a reeent.speech, de-
livered at Cleveland, Ohio, with the fol-
lowing sOmbre recognition of the present
unfayorable situation OF the Radical party:
ut would require considerable work to
meet the scheming plans Of the Democra-
cY, but with proper effort ID could be done.
There are clouds and difficulties before us
now, but with u firm determination to
overcome these impediments, the way will
soon be, clear"
This language marks a sudden change in
the tone Of this sturdy and ever-confdent
champion of Radical diabolism. He ap-
pealed to his followers not to imagine that
the war is over; not to leave the old trail
and to lay aside their paint and feathers,
but to hammer away.in the old 3oaner-
gian style, against traitors, unrepented
rebels, and Judas Iscariot Copperheads-
THERE'S a curious admixture OF the sacred
and profane in the Acting Vice Presidents
oratory which is quite original and forci.
bic, if not altogether elegant and dignified.
Sometimes. we think, too, there is serious
difficulty in reconciling the epithets and
titles he SO freely bestOws upon his adver
saries with his admission of their respecta-
bility and of some sort of honesty. Thus
while he admits Judge Thurman to be
gentleman in social relations, he does not
hesitate to denounce him as a Judas Isca-
riot in politics, and to declare that he
would not trust a man of his sentiments in
his sheep-pen after dark. This is called
by the Radicals the right sort of talk, and
the Acting Vice President has won his way
to this present high position and to the
lofty title of the Cromwell of the West by
this vigorous though not very consistent or
logical application of strong figures and
scriptufal illusions.
Recurring to our quotation from Mr..
Wade's recent speech, at Cleaveland, We
think that the people of Ohio and Of this
country at large, have reason to rejoice in
the circumstances Which have induced this
veteran rhetorical bully to regard the con-
test.now going on sufficiently serious as to
require, on the part of his party, some
thing more effective than this Billingsgate
style of denunciation, in which alone, Of all
The requirements of Statesman, or even
politician, the acting V. P. appears. to be
an adept. "Words," swords, = will not do,
quote this old scold. "We must try some
thing more effective to get those rascally
Democrats out Of our apple trees and our
sheep pens
1t is certainly sad thing for the country
when Judas Iscariots and "sheep thieves
can only be circumvented by considerable
work, vigilance, and firm determination
to take advantage Of all the chances. n,

A ST RANGE CASE.
A Missing Wife and Mourning
Family.
STARTLING DISCOVERY OF HER CRUEL FATE


STARTLING DISCOVERY OF HER CRUEL FATE.
The charming wife of a wealthy banker
doing business in. Wall street, disappeared
suddenly few months since, while visiting
Europe for her health, Her family were
almost distracted; her sisters who reside in
New York put on mourning, and bewailed
the sad loss. In vain we're re wards offered
for any information concerning the lost.
Nothing more than this could the afflicted
relatives learn-that Mrs. Lavenburg had
left home one morning to make some calls,
and had never returned!
A few facts concerning the domestic dis
comforts endured by Mrs. L. may not prove
uninteresting She married some four
years since one Of three brothers, all bank
ers. The lady, who was lovely, brilliant,
and accomplished, sold herself for the in
come settled upon her, and in her anxiety
to have an establishment of her own, either
passed over or refused to look upon the
fearful spectre at the banquet. Mrs. L,
had been beloved by young man ofthis
city, herinterior in naught, save good looks.
His position socially WIS above hers, but,
as she told him on her marriage eve, "aShe
must always love, but could not marry
him."
i'm the meantime incompatibility oftem-
per arose, and finally, the picayunish tenn
per of her master was a source of bitterness
and reproach to the miserable woman who
had married him. In the spring of 1865
the doctor recommended Europe, and thith-
er husband and wife and baby went. Mr..
L. returned to New York in q few weeks,
and left his family in comfortable house in
London. In the meantime the lady went
out one morning and never returned.
What can be her fate? Death, murder,
answer the mourning friends, and issue per
sonals, and put in advertisements and final
" dress in sombre garments, as they be-
vail one who returns to them DO more.
By the merest accident the facts of the
case have been discovered, and in this
wise: Ii
Three ladies were travelling alone in one
Of those small first-class compartments al
ways found abroad. They were on the
way to Dover. One of the ladies wore a
very thich green vail, which she kept per.
sistently lowered, even when slipping the

tering feeble wall, and both the other la
dies came forward to give help and sympa-
thy. Now. one Of those ladies was New
Yorker, and, in happier days, had met this
same Mrs. Z. at soiree and opera, times
immemorial. The ladyrecoyered, the child
slept, ard the party reached their destina
ton, when tall fine looking American
stepped forward and caught both woman
and child in his arms. They entered cal
and drove off. The family are still il
mourning.--lNew York paper.

1 An Elephant Story

. i
AAa}elephapt dealer, by name Bnsoo. was
travelling from Sylbet to Northern India
witha string Of elephants. When he ar
rived at Hurdwar, where the Gauges flows
down from the mountains into. the plains
of Hipdostar, itsRas the. time Of the great
mela, or annual fair. when the Hindoos
come in .myriads to battle in their sacred
stream. This Is the time when elephant
merchants from the South, horse dealers
from Cabool, Clutch and Katywar, the sci
lers ofcamels from Contra India, and bull
luck drivers from Hissar and Delhi bring
their animals for sale.
Buxoo' soon found customers for five out
of six pf his animals. The sixth for some
reason best known to BuXoo aud Others
skilled in elephants, remained unsold. The
last and greatsst day Of the fair came, and
our merchant was in state of the utmost
anxiety lest he should have this one ele-
phant left upon his hands. At the mo-
ment when the fair became busy, up came
villiger who began close investigation
Of the Elephant. Buxoo became more than
ever uneasy.
