COLUMBIA.
Sunday Morning, October 4, 1868.
Tho Prospect.

It would not be surprising, if the
people of the South should become
despondent as the Presidential cleo
tion approaches. During the last
three years we have been expecting
relief, and as it has not come already,
men are apt not to believe that the
desired boon will surely be revealed
by single event soon to occur. We
have so long seen that the men in
power will do nothing but deepen our
distress, that we are ready to con-
elude that their constituents are of
She same mind. We should not for
get that the constituents of the men
In power in the official stations, have,
IN years gone by, stood hand and
heart with us in many q struggle, at
home and with foreign foes, to rescue
our system from ruin and from detri-
ment. The people of the North are
attached to self-government and to
our representative system, and they
have, as yet, had no opportunity, as
IN the coming election they will have,
to utter forth and to enforce their
pride in the prowress and renown of
ths United States-their country as
well as ours. They will not forget
that their representatives proclaimed,
by resolution in Congress, in 1862,
that@sthe object of the war, at that
time raging and three years ago
ended, was to put down the rebellion
which the South has renounced and
is unanimously resolute not to renew.
That people right well, and altogeth-
er, do know that we pant for peace
not the peace the sword insures, but
that alone which enues to the reign
Of civil law, and which their men in
power have so long denied to the
South, sand still, show, in, all their
course, it is not their design to re-
store. And, to crown the proofs that
the prospect is good, the results of
all the elections that have been held
during the last twelve months, have
shown that the constituents of the
men who have desired and adopted
measures to oppress us, do not agree
with them, but desire that the South
shall be relieved. Why, then, asks
the Petersburg Express, should we
despair of the Federal Republic in
the coming election?

"A CURIOUS FRENCH Story.
Gently, atthe baths of V-snr-lesmer.
the sea was rather stormy, but not
exceedingly 30. If it had been
ssfaap, Fer Fer the bsthingl for Parisiennes
are not famous for ther Jrd0oat,, mari
time. -s-- 2
The waves no longer caressed the
shore yoluptuously and languishing-
", dying away as if in rapture.
They pouted and growled, for the
wind had been spreading rumors and
stirred upa quarrel between sea and
land. Little by little those who came
to bathe became alarmed. One of
the bathcrs or sailors employed to
battle the ladies remained to the last,
eagerly inspecting every group as if
searching for some one, and his
handsome face and powerful figure
were generally commented on by all,
and admired-especially by the la
dies.
This handsome sailor of thirty
eight years had history. A year
ago, his only relative on earth was a
bautiful daughter of fifteen, and re-
turning to Paris after n voyage, he
found that she had been sednced and
carried away. Every research was in
vain; all that he could learn was that
she was leading q gay lorette life.
At last it occurred to him that as all
lorettes go to the seaside, and most
of them from one Watering place to
another, he could not fail to find her
at the place where the scene Of this
incident is laid.
The clouds grew more lowering,
and the sea roared more deeply, but
there was one little group which
seemed determined to brave all risks.
They went out. Suddenly the atten-
tion of all was called by an appalling
scene. The handsome sailor had in
his arms young girl whom he held
like mere babe, aud was threatening
to drown. The girl, paralized with
fear, was uttering terrible shrieks.
while he exclaimed:
''Promise to quit this life-promise
to return home with me, or L will
drown you!'
AT last, the girl seemed to recover
consciousness, and it would seem that
the promise was given, for the pair
went quietly together home, and as
quietly the next day left the watering
place.

THE WAY THE Taxes Go. "The
stationery of the Senate for the year
1860, cost $7,5OO, though every State
was represented; the stationery for O
full House that year was $780, 1856.
But for the last year the amount
actually appropriated was $50, 900 for
the one body, and $4,000 for the
other, and deficiency bill of $1O,-
900 for the Senate, and $500 for
the House has since passed, making
the aggregate ST., 900, or three times
as much as it was eight years ago.
Shall the people renew the lease of
power of men who thus squander the
public money on their own persons?
For remember the question is not so
much, who shall be the Chief Magis-
trate, as who shall control the legisla-
ton OF the country for the next Presi-
Dental term"

REDUCTION OF FORCE IN THE TKEA-
sURY DEPARTMENT. Under the late
stringent economy of Congress in
cutting down the appropriations the
Secretary of the Treasury has had the
official guillotine operating in all di-
rections. The work of reduction has
broken out amongst the agents and
detectives employed by collectors of
customs for the prevention of snug
Cling, and the collectors report that
in consequence the CRUSADE against
contrabandists will be much en-
feebled. They regard the present
economical movement as another case

HARDY d. EDWARDS.

We have all read stories of captur-
ed acknowledgements who hcroically
wrapped their battle flags about their
bodies, and bore long years of cap
tivity, cheered by the hope of unfurl-
ing them once more among friends.
We have shed tears over that ire
pressible dead drummer boy beneath
whose body is always found care
fully-folded up guidon, with n huge
blood stain precisely in the middle of
it; and rejecting how peace has her
victories as well as war, are not as
tonished to find similar instances of
courageous devotion in the smiling
walks of life, as we'll as the stormicr
ones. One such graces the day we
live in and the country we love. An
old man, so silent and retired as to
appear almost imbecile, but who,
wandering listlessly about the streets,
of great city, beals with him the
secret of the place of concealment of
public documents which, if exposed,
would work the ruin of the whole
radical party. 'Tis true the glory of
his sacrificing devotion is somewhat
impaired by the fact that he stole
them; that he took advantage of the
trust reposed in him by the Chief
Magistrate of great nation to alb
stract them from the public archives;
according to the political gospel he
processes, the ends aimed at would
Justify far worse deeds than this. If
they could be made public, the whole
mystery touching the exchange of
prisoners during the late war would
be fully explained, and the infamy of
one of the most heinous crimes ever
perpetrated in history be fastened
upon a party who now aspires to rule
the destinies of this country. No
wonder his head is bowed and his
mind is tottering. The falsifer of
history commits crime against man
kind so boundles in its vileness as to
be absolutely demoniac. While we
reserve honors for the soldier for q
laudable act, we would recommend
the search warrant for Mr.. Stanton.
A careful examination of his house
hold effects would, we think, bring
to light enough documentary evil
dence of human depravity and crime
to effoctually determine the result of
the Presidential election. We re-
commend this view of the case to the
consideration Of his immediate neigh
bors. The documents are certainly
missing from the War Office. Mr..
Stanton undoubtedly took them; and
Mr.. Stanton dare not destroy them.
Altogether the case presents free
field for the exercise of little detec-
tive ingenuity, in which the grandeur
OF the results would only be equaled
by the fame of achieving them.

DOWNFALL OF THE BoURBoNs T.;
SPAlN.-The last Spanish revolution
has been most successful one. The
armies of the late Queen have been
defeated and scattered. She who
wore the crown short month ago,
is now fugitive in France. The
arms of her family have been torn
from every public building in her
late capital. Her Ministers have de-
serted her. Everywhere her enc
mics have triumphed. And Isabella
may be added to the list of monarchs
out of business. Who will grasp the
sceptre SO rudely and suddenly torn
from the hands of bad and incapa-
bic Queen?
