DAN RICE ON THE SITUATION
Colonel Rice thus teStltieS:
The Freedmen's Bureau IN South
Carolina, under Gen. Scott, is in good
working order. The only trouble
experienced arises where ill-dlsposed
officers have crept into positions,
and where spectators and claim
agents of the old Notwithstanding
order have tempered with the freed
men.
There is set Of traders in some
districts who swindle the poor ne.
groes shamefully by selling them bo'
gus jewelry and gewgaws at the
most exorbitant prices. In some IN
stances these persons write tor north
ern papers, and as it IS for Their
interest to have the South dominated
by a military force, they Will, OF
course, paint horrible pictures OF the
subdued rebels. In one instance that
came to my knowledge, trader mad
sold a breastpin to a negro Tor I'VE
dollars, which was made IN Natel-
bury, Connecticut. for sixteen cents,
and this man was the correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune, leading
Radical paper in the North.

OF OUR HOUSEHOLD.

Did You ever see her.
The little fairy sprite,
Who gladdened all our household,
Like ray of golden light
Whose little feet kept moving,
Never weary until eve
Threw its purple shadow DER us,
And the good night kiss she gave'
Did YOU ever see her,
As she put her pIsythings down,
And gladly ran to meet us,
Coming from the distant town
As she greeted us with kindness,
Twas the sweetest welcome home,
To hear her bird voice lisping:
"Ohl I'm So glad you've come !"
Did you ever see her,
With her eyes of azure blue
They were sometimes filed with tear drops
Like violet with dew;
Often they were laughing, dancing,
Shining, twinkIing bright with Joy.
As she told some pretty story,
Otkltten, books, or toy
Did you ever see her,
When with wonder and delight,
She asked so many questions
About God, and Heaven 50 bright
And many things she wished to know,
Many places desired to see
Aud many long hours study made,
That a teacher she might be.
And You did not see her
When those pattering feet were stu,
When the little hands were folded
Not by their sweet owner will
When the eyes were closed so gently,
And the soft and golden hair.
By the hands Of loved ones parted,
From her forehead pure and far:
And you did not see her
When they shut the cotln-lld,
And our fairy little darling
From our sight forever hid
With her going went our sunlight,
From our home It's ever gone,
NAV we say with truth and calmness:
No. my will but Thine be done.

Certain temporizing political philoso-
pliers, no less narrow-minded than
weak and vaeilIating, profess to believe
that the reconstruction Of the insurgent
States on the basis of absolute loyalty,
as proposed by the present laws, viii
establish negro supremacy In tie South.
This is driveIing nonsense. The laws
simply establish the supremacy of Ioy-
atty without regard to race. If the
white men choose to be disloyal and the
blacks loyal, then the former have no.
body to blame but themselves if they
are controlled by the loyal element, let
it be what it may. IF the whites refuse
to register under the laws and exercise
their part in re-establishing civil gov
ernment, whose fault is it but their
own? Negro domination would be
very mild punishment for such vanton
and rebellious contumacy. If the
whites fa to control civil government
under the present laws it will be simply
and purely their own fault in following
nae treasonaiple advice of the Northern

It is idle for Democrats to attempt TO
c )nceaI or deny the fact that valIandig-
ham is the most prominent leader of
their party III Ohio, and their most
likely candidate for United states SEN
ator. He wrote their present platform
and the report. of their Convention says
that when he presented this document
be was received with tremendous
shouts and yells," and that sit was
some time before ne was allowed TO
proceed, by reason Of the elamOr." He
was fully endorsed by the Democracy
in 1868 by being nominated as their can
didate for Governor, and in 1854 by be-
ing sent as their delegate to the Chicago
Convention. OF every Democratic
Stale Convention held since he has been
the chief bugleman, and could not even
be kicked Out Of the johnson Conven-
tion at Philadelphia, last Summer. He
is their chief canvasser in the. present
campaign, and draws the largest crowds.
of all their speakers. When he spoke
at Mt. Gilead last week the faithful
from near and far, including many
from Delaware, gathered to hear him,
and came home -boasting of their great.
Democratic meeting and champion. In
his late speeches VaIlandigham boldly
announces himself as candidate to sue
ceed B. f. Wade in the United States
Senate, and expresses great confidence
that "a Legislature Will be elected in
October which will choose hin as
Wade's successor. It is idle for Lewis
Evans, or any other Democratic candi-
date for the Legislature to say he will
not vote for Vallandigham, for the
Democratic members will make their
nomination in caucus, and VaEs friends
wiH undoubtedly be the controlling
-eIe neut and secure his nomination
Lewis Evans or any other Democratic
member viii not dare bolt the nomina-
ton of his party thus regularly made.
But suppose Vallandigham is not nom
mated, then Thurman viii come in as
the next claimant, and choice between
the two would be very much like y
choice between his Satanic Majesty and
one of his pet imps. Every vote for
Lewis Evans tor State Senator, or John
Taylor for Representative, is just as
clearly a vote for Vallandigham for
United States Senator as anything can
be, judging the future by present pros
pects- The Democracy can no more set
aside Yallandigham than Democrat
can cut off his head and live. Val
knows this and will make the most of
it in the Senatorial contest. Now those
of the people Of Delaware county who
want to make votes in the Legislature
for this branded and condemned tratot
as y. S. Senator, should vote for Lewis
Evans; but those who want to make
votes against him and avoid this con-
tingency, should by all means vote for.
Capt. Jay Dyer. The choice is simple
and inevitable.

Democrats profess to be in favor of
paying of the national bonds in green
backs, or nOn-inierest bearing currency,
in order to save the interest on said
bonds. Yet last winter their represen-
tatives in Congress every one voted for
a measure to take up at least i've hun
dred millions of this same non-interest
bearing currency and issue instead
bonds bearing interest, thus immensely
increasing the expenses Of the govern
ment in paying Interest. Last winter
