The extremists, who were bent on running
this Government to destruction, arc meet
ing with obstacles in their mad career Penn
sylvania and Ohio, two of tho largest and most
influential States, have, VIC may say, gone
Democratic Even in Ohio, where some doubt
may still exist as to the election of Radical
or q Democratic Governor, the Republicans
themselves united with the Democrats to vote
against negro suffrage; and the negro is there
disfranchiscd by majority of fifty thousand
But let us not indulge too much in dreams
of hope. To ameliorate our conditions; nhny
greater successes must be accomplished than
these. These remarkable changes i'll Northern

Mr. PcndIcton OH Reputation.

The Democrats of Cleveland, Ohio, having
scrcnadcd Mcssrs. George II. Pcndlcton and
George Il. PuSh at hotel in that city on the
evening of the 18th ult. Mr.. Pcn,llcton, in his
response, took occasion to explain his position
in relation to the payment Of the fvc-twcnty
bonds. lie said +:
Let nc state to You the position. We have
an enormous debt. We have rate Of t.. x,-
tion beyond all example oppressive We b,.;
system of lcgal-tcndcr net and f., ,sto,n of
national banks. an xorry.ws nave seen them.
| did not vy,c for tl..n. and am not rcsponsi-
~" ior them. They arc great evils. They
ought to be gotten ril of. And irthcy present
any means Of assisting us in getting ral Of
them. We ought to seize it. The nl:..iutercst
paying debt; consisting of srccnbacks andtun
li'lnidacd debt, amounts about $500. 001 900.
The proposition Of the Republicans is to con
vert this debt into bonds which pay interest in
gold. The interest on those bonds will be
SIS, 100000 in gold annually The result,
will be to increase by that amount the cxrc,,-
scs to convert active capital into inactive capi-
| tai, and thus to increase the number of those
who do not pay taxes, and to increase the bur
dens of those who do pay taxes.
maintain that this debt ought not be 50
converted; that these S4S O00. 900 III cold
should be savod. There arc four hundred
millions Of these bonds in the Treasury as Sc
curity for the national bank currency. They
arc represented by a nearly equal amount of
bank notes. They call for s2.i 10000 in
gold annually as interest. Now, | maintain
that these bonds should ho redeemed in green
backs. The result would be that grccuhacks
would take the place of the bank notes. which
would be called in, and that $4,000, 900 OF
interest would ho saved. If that s2+,00N, ,000
were added tn tho $4S, ,0OO. 900 of which have
spoken, you have $4,000, 600 in gold annual
ly; and this, properly compounded, would pay
the whole dobt, principal and interest, in fiji.

And now observe that thus far have not
proposed to add ono dollar to your taxes, nor
one dollar to the currency I am satisfied that
they can bear moro now. | am satisfied that
the good to result will more than compensate
for the evils How far the expansion may be
safely carried, cannot pretend with cxacncss
to sny. All that | maintain is this That
just as rapidly rs the prosperous condition OF
the business will permit it, the bonds should
be redeemed i'll grccnbacks; for just so fast
will the interest be paid, the taxes be reduced
and labor be relieved from the burdens which
now so heavily opprcss it,"

i. The father of Henry Timrod was likewise
poet Of no ordinary sweetness, and when the
mantle fell upon the son, thu living fire. grew
brighter, until it bccnmc Il fixed and brilliant
star in our Southern iirlnumcnt.
In the school, at the university, as an editor
ola daily journal, and amid the busy haun's
of men, he lived, as it were, by limsri:-anonT
the creations Of his own far-scarching mind.
and i'll sympathy with the consciousness of its
unseen powers His whole life had flowed
from mysterious urn--a sacred stream, in
whose calm depth the beautiful and pure alone
returned to the nature hc loved and the God
he worshippcd, with the calm, sweet, prophetic
certainty in his soul that Heaven was near,
and Immortality about to begin.
The secret of his success as poet was his
love for nature, and the rare genius he posses
scd i'll portraying that love in language which
stirred the heart. He loved Gods creation,
whether in the heavens above or the earth be-
ncatll-hc loved music, sculpture painting, I'LL
things pure, or grand or beautiful; "thc set
ting sun, lake among the mountains, the
light Of an ingenious countcnancc, and, what
transccnds them all, noble action"
Nothing unworthy ever came from Mr. Tim
rods pen. Years ago, a volume Of his poems
was published but since then, his fugitive
pieces have not averaged moro than three or
four in Il year. Who does not remember the
thrilling lines with which he was wont to stir
the feelings of our people during the war-his
charleston" Cry to Arms and ''Catolina?"
We have seen audiences at their recital rise to
their feet and send up cheer OH cheer. These
poems are destined to live in the English Ian
guagc, and with them their gifted author.
We may not have appreciated him while
living-gcnius seldom enjoys its reward in the
flesh. But the time is now near when the
name of Timrod will illustrate in literature the
fame which South Carolina has derived from
others Of her SONS III the forum and upon the

The Ohin Insurance Law.

From, The Cincinnati Gdzehc.
The Ohio Legislature last winter pass,
ed law similar to the one for many years
i'm force in'New York, except that the
State Auditor has the enforcement of it,
In July last the Auditor required all
the companies in this city to make a
statement to him and they were also
personally examined by Mr.. Charles
Selden, for the Auditor.
The law contemplates that these state
ments should be published in teach
County in which the company does busi-
ness )" but, as yet, only the Enterprise,
Cincinnati and Firemen's have complied
with this part of the act.
1t would be interesting, If not instruc-
tive, to some policy-holders to see the
security upon which they rely as in
demnity in case of fire u; and this is now
made more important from the fact that
the Auditor found the Cincinnati Home
Insurance Company deficient in capital,
and called upon it to assess one hundred
thousand dollars upon stockholders. The
result has been, that on Wednesday this
company made an assignment.
This Is the first good effect of the law.
BY the statement of the Cincinnati
Home, it would require on July lst $97,
600 to reinsure outstanding risks. 1t is
safe to presume that now there is about
Sl2, 100000 of property insured, the poll
cies on which are worthless, and policy
holders have thrown away at least $75,-
600 in unearned premiums.
We trust the law will be vigorously
enforced, and all companies be required
to publish their statements, that the pub
lie may see what they are. Some that
we have seen do not indicate much sound
ness but the reverse,

Equalization OF Bounttes.

The delay of the payment of bountief
Is becoming a matter of serious COM
plant amongst the soldiers to whom
claims are due from the government
Up TO the middle of June, the Paymaster
General had received 400, $50 applications
for bounty. OF these only one-half have
been recorded i'm his office, and as only
$4,000 per month are recorded, three
months more must eiapse before even the
applications already made can be entered
on the Paymaster Generals books. 1t is
not likely, either, that payments for
some time can be made more rapidly
than at present.
Upto the 18th of June, 124, 500 applica-
tlons-less than one-third-had been sent
to the Second Auditor. or these, 81, 100
have been examined and returned The
Auditormakes returns at the rate of about
10000 month, so that nearly two years
more will be required to examine the
applications now on hand.
An THESE are exclusive of such claims
asare obtained through the Second Audi
tors office, which are numerous, as every
one acquainted with the routine of the
Department knows. All we can advise
our soldier readers Is to wait with the
same brave patience they showed for
years on the field, always recollecting
that the delay Is for their safety. A
careful and prolonged Investigation Is
necessary to guard against fraud and i'm
position; both by improper applicants
and dishonest agents.

ONE of the evidences of the high hon
or and profound reverence with which
the memory of Mr.. Lincoln is held by
the people of France is shown by an in
eident which occurred to an American
gentleman, who was paying visit to
Gustave Dore. Upon ushering this gem
man into his studio, Dore pointed to Mar
shall's portrait of Mr.. Lincoln. 1t was
fixed upon the center of the wall, in
the plade of hoqes, and surrounded by
and other men OF genius. "There," said
the artist, ~ have placed thisexquisitely
engraved portrait OF the greatest man In
the country where every one who enters
here can see 1t and do him honor" An
other gentleman, while visiting tho silk
factories at Lyons, was taken into room
by the director, who showed him this
same portrait, beautifully reproduced In
silk, telling hls guest, "This Is the fourth
instance where we have undertaken the
difficult task of weaving a portrait In this
costly fabric. The first was Washington;
the second the Emperor Napoleon the
third Alexander, the Emperor of Russia
the last, your great Lincoln"
