PROFITABLE PATRIoTIsM-A correspondent
Of The Columbia Phoenix describes the iDjus-
,ice done the Mackey family, and the extent
Of their patriotic sufferiugs. He says: "The
injustice done Dr. Mackey has been terrible.
He ought to cry. After the war he went
North, and took up contributions amounting
to several thousand dollars. He became rich.
He was made Collector OF the Port of Charles
ton, with an office Income of $4,000 year.
Edward, one Of his sons, was assistant asses
sor, with salary of $S2500 a year; mean
while, lie was member of the convention,
at Sll day. and member of commission
on elections, with salary enough to satisfy
any three reasonable men in Chrstendom.
Recently he has been elected Sheriff Of
Charleston, with prospective income of over
$4,000 year. Another son also holds fat
office in the customhouse. Still the familydo
not seem to be satisfied. The old gentleman

ROBERTK. SCOTT,
Governor of South Carolina.
The electoral Vote of the South.

We have already given, in these columns,
our views of the joint resolution Known as
the Electoral College Bill which was passed
by both houses of Congress on last Saturday.
In the original bill the States of Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Florida, Alabama
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas
were named, and it was provided that only
such of them as should be entitled to repre-
sentation in the Electoral College as shall
have State governments, organized since the
4th of March, 1867, in operation at the time
of the election, and also have become entitled
to representation in Congress pursuant to the
Reconstruction acts. The measure, rs finally
passed in the form of joint resolution, is as
follows:
Resolced That none Of the States whose
inhabitants were lately in rebellion shall be
entitled to representation in the Electoral
Oullege for the choice of President and Vice
President of the United States; nor shall
any Electoral votes be received or counted
from any of such States unless, at the tine
prescribed by law for the choice of Electors,
the people OF such State, pursuant to the acts
of Congress in that behalf, shall have, since
the 4th day of March, 1867, adopted Con-
stitulion of State government under which a
State government Shall have been organized.
and shall be in operation nor unless such
election Of Electors shall have been held un-
der tho authority Of such Constitution and
government, and such State shall have also
become entitled to representation in Congress
pursuant to the acts of Congress in that be-
half: Provided that nothing herein contained
shall be construed to apply to any State that
was represented in Congress on the 4ih of
March, 1867.
This means thatif the ten Southern States
90 for Grant, the votes will be counted. If
for Seymour, the votes will not be counted:
The Radicals are becoming perfectly despe-
rate at the certain defeat which awaits them
in the Presidential campaign. But their des.
peration.will not intimidate or deter the DEM
ocracy OF the North from doing their duty
and having their rights even if it takes rev
olution to secure their Constitutional rights.

2 The assistance rendered. by tho Bureau of
Refugees aud Freedmen to the people of'this
State, has been most timely and valuable.
While it has cared for large numbers OF des-
titute poor, who from physical infirmity or
otherwise were unable to labor, it has at-the
same-tim made iudicious advances of provi-
sions to o-. planters, sallEed by liens 'upoN

would he necessarily iiaie, and thousands of
acres of land, now bearing abundant crops,
would be lying untitled. 1t has not only been
the chief organizer of labor in the State, DUR
ing the past two years and half by super
yiaing the execution Of equitable contracts
between employers and the employed, enforc.
ing the rights OF both, but it has inaugurated
and sustained widespread system of schools,
that have been open to all without distinction
of race or color. As, however, the civil func-
tions Of the State are being rapidly resumed,
I have informed Major General O. o. Howard,
Commissioner of the Bureau, that it may be
dispensed with as an institution in this State,
after the civil officers shall have
been elected in the State, and shall enter ppbn
the duties of their respective. offices. The
several Justices of the Peace can discharge

Maiden Assurance.

we hope that no reader will think rs so
unoallant as tr apply the term OF "a Maiden
Assurance" literally. we leave the develop
ment OF such tendencies to the sensational
week les, OF the higher order that have late
~ taken upon themselves to apply the artf-
ciai faults OF society to woman as a sex. We
still have too great regard for women, more
especially toi American women, and mole es-
pecially Tor those American women who are
dear to Us, to cast slur even by inference
upon maiden modesty. By maiden Assur-
ance," we simply refer to a new mode O, lite
insuring, which has been successfully put IN
practice by the Danish people, from whom, by
the way much practical good may be
learned.
This form Of insurance, like all others, was
originally or anized in companies. The 5asI,
OF these was property belonging to the cid
ciosters, afterwards secularized. A Dayish
gentleman, who should wish 10 secuye his
daughter against the contingencies OF ko,tune
deposits at her birth. we SUI pose, two thou,
sand dollars in one Of these companies. The
child receives during her minority four per
cent. interest annually; at eighteen she comes
inio a higher income, regulated according to
the properly of the company; at twenty five
she receives still higher premium, and rooms
and appointments in the buildings of the for
mer cioisters, ii she desire; and again at thir
ty-fiye a still more liberal income. based AGAIN
on profits.
IL she die or marry, the deposit reyerts to
the 1unds OF the association. In certain cases
however, If she marry and become widow.
she receives an annual stipend. The proba-
bilities are so great that any given female
child will either die or marry that the compa-
ny can afford to pay liberal interest flor En-
rope) on the deposit OF the father. and will
soon accumulate funds for the survivors who
live as single women. a class OF persons who
are most exposed to hardship in modern So
ciety-unmarried women OF the cultivated
ranks-are thus ingeniously guarded against
poverty and loneliness, having a sure income
after certain age, and respectable quarters
with others of like position and tastes.
1t is wonder that Yankee speculation,
wnlcn Is as prompt in adaptablhty as it is
quick in invention. should not have before
this. asslmiated the custom OF maiden AS
sarance," and advanced it in this country.
The form would have to undergo great chan
ges, il is true, bntore it could attract patron
age here. But the example might be imltat-
ed with modern improvements.-[E Exchange.

Ayers Cherry Pecgorai,

For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such az Coughs, Colds, WhoopIr4g
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has any thing widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through "A long
series of years, and among most of the races OF
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima.
ton, as it has become better known Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known rs
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mlder forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most e1ectual remedy that can
he given for incipent consumption, and the dam
geious affections OF the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group. it should
be kept on hand in every family and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds aud coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled CONSUMPTION is thought in.
curable still great Numbers Of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pect0rdi. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth.
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
forat they subside and disappear.
Singers aud Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
bronchitis ia generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pect0,at in small and frequent doses.
SO generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.
