60 The Charleston Mercury,
alluding to the Ku Klux Klan,
says:
"Unimportant at present as the
thing may be in itself, it is one of
those straws which, drifting upon
the surface Of the body polite, in
escape from uncomfortable outrage
and unlawful tyranny, point in
the direction of revolution. When
Rohespierre the tiger, and Marat
the wolf, surrounded by the wild
beasts of Paris, were tapping the
best blood of France, they little
thought that their own was to
follow. Little did they dream that
the guillotine was already prepar-
ed, and that the day was at hand
when they would be swept from
their own streets amidst the crash
of grape shot, and to fall at their
own doors under bloody sabres
and trampling horses. Thelaw Of
violence is reaction of violence
E'In that which has been behold
the thing which will be, and there
is no new thing under the sum-

~ An order by Gen. Schofeld,
from which we take the following
extract, has raised a howl from
the "carpet baggers," idle negroes
and Loyal Leaguers Of Virginia :
"Ifany person shall hunt, shoot,
or range, with or without dogs,
on the lands of another, without
the consent of the owner or ten
ant of such lands or shoot along
any public road, or in the streets
of any town or village, in any OF
the counties of this Common
wealth +; or shall fish on the lands
or in the water courses cOmpre-
hended in the survey of any pro-
prietor, he shall be deemed guilty
of trespass."

70 If you are in for it, just
don't doubt, or hesitate, or regret.
Push on with heart and purpose,
never questioning the result will
be of creditable account. Recol-
lect that all well-meant efforts,
bravely and persistently carried
out, are more or less successful,
and always of use to a certain
ty. Every act Of your life adds
to its skill, facility, and expert
ence; and if no other result come
of it, you would be the better fol
it. Few of us, if we were frank
enough to admit it, ever achieve
precisely what we aim at but we
accomplish very much more than
if we attempted but little; or at
tempted with little spirit and pur
pose to carry it out. When you
are in for it, never let yourself
out, except at the right and tell
ing point.

- An untutored son of the
forest, who recently spoke to the
Indian agent Matthews, at Fort
Phil. Kearney, was asked twice
to be seated; but spurning the prof.
fered chair he exclaimed ''I was
not raised on chairs was born
on the ground 1 am made of
ground; | sit on the ground; l
love the ground; I sleep on it; /
wallow in it and / will die in it;
it is mine-all mine." Rude poe
try that +; and some truth there
too. ,

R p. w. Alexander. ESQ. !,

~ p. w. Alexander, Esq, OF
Columbus, Georgia, in accepting
his recent nomination for Con
gress by the Democrats and Con
servative, says:
Old parties are dead and buried
and let the anim6sities and ha-
treds which they engendered
sleep in the grave with them. 1t
is no paltry question of politics
that engages Onr attention now,
but rather whether the white peo-
Of Georgia shall remain free, or
become, practically, slaves. In
such a contest, there should be
no differences among white men,
nor indeed among intelligent and
well meaning colored men; for
whatever wrongs may be inflicted
upon the former, win be certain
to fall upon the latter also. By
proper effort, the freedmen may
be brought to understand and
appreciate this truth. It would
seem, then, the part of wisdom to
make this effort.
