DEATH OF 4 MYSTERIOUS CHAEAC-
TER.-An old hermit who has lived
solitary and alone for thirty-fve
years, near Albion, Michigan, was
found III his hut few days since. A
correspondent of the Chicago Journal
writes: "rhe greatest mystery has
always surrounded him, though since
his death the following story has been
circulated by those who claim to
know: 1t is said that years ago he
was q wealthy merchant in New York
city, and was engaged to beautiful
and accomplished young lady; but
his brother, who was in business
with him, became his rival, and Sc
cured the hand Of the lady in cues
ton, upon which this man betook
himself to the wilds of Michigan,
bought some land, built a small hut,
and here he lived in the utmost Sc
clusion. he raised his own produce.
For clothing he used nothing but
cotton bags. which lie PIT c.: L; every
shape imaginable. In the winter he
wore neither boots nor shoes, always
going barefoot, and always slept in
his coffin, in which he was found
dead"

familiar treatment, they can be man
aged. By means the conserya-
tives can carry at least half OF the
Southern States yet to vote, and, Sc
curing snajofities in the Legislatures,
may send Senators to Congress who
will be admitted, while those sent to
the lower House will be admitted as
friends to the radicals, but will even
tually prove true to the old Constitu
tion and to human rights, white as
we'll as black. We, therefore, urge
upon every white Southern conserva-
tive to put his shoulder to the wheel,
and, with coat off and sleeves rolled
up, push on the work of reform and
civilization so much needed in this
beautiful but suffering land"

No NEGROES IN THE CHICAGO Con-
vENTIoN.-Thurlow Weed, Grant
man and Republican, says:
"Howevcr blatantly members of
Congress may affect Southern negro
suffrage in their speeches, they know
enough to keep negro delegates out
of the Chicago Convention. If negro
delegates appear in that Convention,
not even Gen. Grants popularity will
enable us to carry Indiana"
What says DR.. Bayne? What says
Lewis Lindsey? Isn't that "going
back" ON the negro?

Colonel j. p. Thomas, Chairman Star
Democratic ComnaiHee
SIR: The Democracy of the up
country, have noticed with regret,
the apathy of the citizens Of Charles
ton, in regard to the action of the
late State Convention-in which they
were invited to cooperate, but re-
fused, or at all events failed, to take
part. We notice with feelings almost
of Indignation, the paltry attempts
by the Charleston papers, to intimate
that they were not represented.
Now, we think it nothing but right
that the people Of the State, at large,
should know it, if tho call that was
made on the entire Democratic party
of the State, was made to the exclu-
sion of Charleston. If any cores
pondence has transpired with refer
ence to it, we think it should be
made known to the
UP-COUNTRY DEMOCRACY.

In one number of the London
Times, we have statement OF the
vast imports and exports of the Bri-
tish Isles, from which it appears that
the commerce of England is increas-
ing in steady ratio, which was ouly
slightly interrupted in 1S67-the
value Of the imports for the last six
months of that year being over al7S,-
000,00O sterling, and of the exports
for the same time over G211, 800, 900.
In another number of the same jour
nal, we have the return for the poor
law board for 1867, which shows that
nearly million of paupers were re-
licved from the poor-rates, which was
q great increase of pauperism over
that of 1866, and an increase OF 43
per cent. over that of 1865. II lion
don, there were 103, 900 paupers in
1865; 1880 in 1866, and LAT, 600
in 1857. Here is remarkable con
trast Of commercial prosperity and
pauperism, furnishing Il dreary COM
ment on the boasted civilization of
England.

There never was better thing said
thsn that of Charles G.. Leland,
otherwise known as ''Meister KARL"
about the New Englanders. Allud-
ing to their extraordinary penchant
for prying into other peoples con-
Germs and debating both the political
and social affairs of everybody with
whom they come in contact, he re-
marked that 50 New Englander's
idea of hell was place where every
body had to mind his own business. :"
An exchange, commenting upon this,
says it is as crisp as AIacaulay's say
ing, that "the Puritans hated bear
batting, notbecauseit was cruel to the
bear, but because it gave pleasure to
the spectators. Both are eminently
typical of the present governing race
of this unfortunate country.

When Madame Roland uttered the
apostrophe, ooh! Liberty, how many
crimes have been committed in thy
name!" she embodied history in q
single epigram. Ever the war cry Of
the worst oppressors; the cloak for
the greatest wrong; q mere conven-
tional word at best, its poetical and
sensational significance has passed
away long since, while its practical
meaning is accommodated to cir
cumstances. In France, Liberty"
means simply license; in England, to
be not severely governed; and in the
United States, po'' excellence the boast
ed land of "Liberty," the New Or
leans Times says, it has degenerated
into the mere permission to conform
to the ideas and usages of an intense
ly bitter radicalism.

Gov. orr's IIeresIes.

Mr.. EDITOR, Itmight not be un-
profitable, before denouncing Gov.
CIR alleged iergiversations, to re-
fleet how often, heretofore, he has
been denounced for expressing senti
ments not at the time in accordance
with popular ideas, but which, qtier-.
ecartls, became part of the established
public policy. t'.
Who does not remember-when he
took his bold position, in 1850, in
opposition to the separate secession
of South Carolina-how unsparingly
he was denounced for his alleged re-
creancy to South Carolina fame and
principles? Yet, what was the final
action OF the State?
While in Congress, he labored
zealously to induce South Carolina to
cooperate with the National Demo
cratic party. For this, he was brand
ed as Sin the wild hunt after Office !"
Yet, who will now deny that the over
throw of the Democratic party, in
1860, was the downfall of the Consti-
tuition of the United States?
During the excitement about slave
ry sin tie Territories, and "squatter
sovereignty" Gov. Orr was severely
and generally censured for holding
the question to be an abstraction not
worth contending for. But opposite
counsels prevailed, and what was
done to establish the ''rights of
slavery" and of the South "in The Ter
7'itoTies?"
Upon the split in the National
Democratic Convention, which met
in Charleston, in May, 1860, to nomi-
nate candidates for President and
Vice President. how freely was Gov.
Orr criticised as to his motives, as
well as his policy, for not encourag-
ing and rejoicing at the secession of
the Southern delegates! Yet, who
now can shut his eyes to the fact that
that split (by dividing the Democratic
strength insured the election of Lin
coin and the success of the Republi-
can party?
Who does not remember the criti-
cisms upon Gov Orr, in the fall of
1860, for saying that secession, in
stead of being peaceful" would
bring ga long and bloody ,Cor9"
Who does not remember the severe
censure upon Gov. Orr, during the
latter days of the Confederacy, for
warning the authorities and people Of
the Confederacy, that cal aras not ,ueH
1cM uS," and for wishing to make
terms Of peace in advance of our
subjugation?
Who does not remember the odium
heaped on Gov. Orr, only one short
yea, ago, for being aoiNing TO accept a
qualified negro sufraye:9 And yet this
is now one Of he planhS in lie platform
Of tic Democratic party Of South Caro-
lima, which includes fom.ff1ths, or
more. Of the 7r1tite ropulnion Of tie
State,
The swiftness with which events
have borne lis. time and again, to the
apparently advanced position taken
by Gov. Orr. should teach thinking
men how unwise az we'll MS unjust it
is to prosc'iJc anen fn,' opinions sake.

A Curious AND SAD ACCIDENT. A
sad accident occurred in New Orleans
not many days ago. Mr.. Yarmouth,
one of the Republican candidates for
Governor of Louisiana, makes his
home at the house of his friend, Mr..
John Dean. While lying upon his
bed asleep one day, little child of
Mr.. Dean climbed up and tickled his
feet. The sleeper involuntarily gave
n convulsive kick, which knocked the
child from the bed 10 the floor, the
little thing striking upon its head.
receiving injuries which resulted in
brain fever, and finally terminated in
death. The mental anguish of the
gentleman who was the innocent
cause of this distressing event may
be better Imagined than described.

INCREASE OF SUICIDES. The New
York World is compiling an appau-
ing record Of recent suicides cleaned
from put one days exchanges, from
all parts of the country, clearly
showing that the suicide mania is
now epidemic. They appear largely
to pledominate in the West. The
writer tells us, however, that "as
many as twelve or fifteen suicides
have occurred in New York city
within as many days, and in the ag-
gregate Of the cases there and else
where. the majority of the self-mur
derers are women" The causes Of
these suicides are various, some being
from ill-success in business, some
from intemperance, both male and
female; some from domestic in
felicity, others from insanity. ill
health, etc.

The STRENGTH OF THE DEMOCRACY.

The STRENGTH OF THE DEMOCRACY.
The Republicans are beginning to
acknowledge that there is danger
ahead, from the increasing strength
of the Democrats. The New York
Times says the result in those States
where elections have lately taken
place, shows that the Republican
party has no strength to throw away,
and that it has good reason for be-
having just rs well as it can.

Pen Photographs of Charles Dick
ems Readings. Taken from LifN
by Kate Field I.c.;ng. Boston,
1868.
AS the Southern people were de-
prived of the opportunity o. seeing
and hearing the greatest novelist OF
the age, i'll his wonderful personation
OF the characters he has created we
are enabled, thanks to Miss Field, to
view the counterfeit presentment'
of the author and dramatist, as he
appears in his series of readings.
"Pen Photographs" brings the scene
more vividly before the mind, than
we would have believed possible.
Words, in this instance, give better
likeness than many photographs.
Miss Fields genius is per lliarly
fitted for the task she has so success
fully accomplished in the brochure
now before us. Her style, always
graceful and elegant, has, besides
these qualities, the vigor and terse-
ness that are needed for vivid de-
scription; and her handling of the
difficult subject could not be, sur
passed. Nor does she fail TO give
the subjects of the readings the same
attention that she bestows upon the
reader. She presents them with
freshness and originality, that only
the author himself could surpass.
Decidedly the next best thing to see
ing Dickens with the naked eye, is
to look at him through Miss Fields
camera. We believe that our book
sellers have the work; or, if not,
they can easily procure it. It's re-
markable cheapness places it within
reach of all.
