A TRUE MISSION FOR THE PREss.-
Somebody well says: "Would not this
world be better world if the Press
gave more space to the record of virtue
and less to that of vice? If, instead of
police reports, the sayings and doings
of the vicious and depraved, our papers
brought us accounts of good deeds done
good words spoken good lives lived,
aud good hopes of better deeds, and
words, and lines in the great future,
would they not furnish a better aifaent
for the soul, while the body IS refreshed
by the morning aud evening meals? l
think the answer. is eyes" and that we
cannot hope to form healthy souls by
feeding on the grabbage of crime.

Captain Marshall, a brother of Humphrey
Marshall, of Kentucky, spoke recently at a
Confederate Democratic meeting in that State,
when he assured his hearers that although
Seymour was called d" War Democrat, yet he
had never given any aid or support to the
government in prosecution of-the war when
it could be avoided. In 1868, when the rebel
troops were in Pennsylvania, and the govern
ment called on Seymour, who was then govern
or of New York, to furnish the troops to eX-
pei them, he answered in the same manner, if
not the same language as the Governor of
Kentucky in 1861, viz, that he would not send
them. He did send then however, for the rea-
son that he was unable to do otherwise"
1t is perfectly understood South that Sey-
mour's war record was not of character to
injure him in rebel estimation And so is ::it
equally well understood at the North. "He
never gave any aid or support to the govern
ment in prosecution of the war when it could
be avoided" That sums up Horatio Seymour
exactly.

CHI A Es ON.
SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY %, 1868.
The President at Bay.

The President has at last done that which
he should have done twelve months ago.
Planting himself upon his constitutional
rights, he has summarily removed the ruff
fan STANTON from the War Office. A year
ago nobody would have questioned his right
or power to make the removal; now, the
Radicals will undoubtedly affect to regard
his action as a disregard of the law of Con-
gress known as the Tenure of Office act.
STANTON, evidently, is not disposed to give
up his Office without struggle, and Con-
gress will probably support his claims; but
the tone of the Presidents communication
evinces quiet but fixed resolve to main
tain at all hazards the dignity and authority
that belongs of right to the successor of
WASHINGTON.
Troublous times seem to be ut hand; and
the country will await the issue with pro-
found interest.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1868-02-22
The Spreading Plague.

Cannot the authorities suppress the OBJ
scene literature that has been imported into
| Charleston since the war? Have we not
lost enough? Our ..,ide, our hopes, our
possessions, have been sacrificed; shall we
not be allowed to retain our delicacy, refine
ment and virtue, as people?
Our readers well remember what food
of immoral publications poured in, so soon
as the city gates were thrown open to the
soldiers AID other adventurers who had
been long and loudly knocking for admit
tance. Yellow covered nouvelettes, bearing
as o frontispiece brilliantly painted pic
ture of the hero or heroine and charged
with such stirring incidents as may be sup
posed to attend the career of the bold high
wayman or pirate, the fascinating seam
stress or the jealous ballet girl, huttered
Southwark. They were the ,harbinger of
the new order of things, as the dead leaves
borne upon the North wind announce that
winter is at hand.
The very presence and cheapness of these
wares was calculated to awaken taste
for them. The sensational picture appear
ing at the shop window makes the passer
by curious to read the story. And the
weekly newspapers with their gross pic
lures offer this indulgence at so small an
expense, that they are getting into circula
ton at the South. A short time ago we
saw two half-grown freedmen sitting on the
ground with paper between them, one Of
the Police Gazettes, with whose pictured
and printed wickedness they were SO pos
sessed as to be altogether unobservant of
our presence as we stopped and looked on.
What must be the effect, upon the young, of
such reading Will not the licentious
stories and the details of crimes tend to
change the unwary reader into criminal?
We are glad to learn that the attention
of the New York Legislature has been di-
rected to this subject, for the great metrop-
oils is the centre where these obscene pub
locations are printed and whence they are
distributed over the whole land. We learn
from our exchanges that resolutions have
been adopted by the Assembly, instructing
the Judiciary Committee to take action upon
the matter and report some measure to ar
rest the evil In that State the number of |
these vile publications illustrated with filthy
wood cuts, has rapidly increased, and they |
