After the nuptials, Sir Gawain took his

had him carcss her but he >huddered at
any contact, and could not bear to give
her even one kiss.
She demanded the reason for his aver

"hcr old age, her uglincss and her low

with age she lad discretion; that her ug-
illness would save him from rivals, and
that true nobility depended. not on the
birth but the character Of the individual.
Moved by these arguments, and her tears.

The Radical ReprOach of Democracy, its
Growing Honor.

from The Washington National InteIltgencer.
There is no meaner subterfuge to which
gentleman can stoop than the effort to make
party capital against the Democracy out of the
fact that "Rebels" took part in the proceed
ipgs of the Convention of New York. The
object, OF course, is plain. 1t is to make out
That the Democracy are hand in glove with
those who sought to overthrow the Govern
ment, and that, therefore, they are un-
worthy OF the public confidence. A few may
be deluded by the shallow Device but sensible
people are aware that the true method of
paclhcating country which has been rent by
the strifes OF war is to bring the belligerents
into harmonious cooperation. II the Demo-
cracy sacrifice nothing of principle or patriot
ism by bringing the opponents of the Govern
ment into fellowship with them, it is to their
everlasting honor that they have wrought the
magic change which converts quondam enemies
into lasting friends. 1t could only be a cause of
reproach that Wade Hampton and General
Forrest sat side by side in the New York Con-
vention with the Northern leaders, if the lat
Ter had abandoned their lifelong devotion to
the Constitution and the laws, and given
countenance to the spirit of hostility which
arrayed the former against the Federal Gov.
ernment. But what is the fact II is not
the Democracy which has changed front but
the Confederate leaders, who have laid down
their arms, accepted the results of the war.
anu Blauly low clasp nanuS Win tn0Se who
are willing to accord them all their rights
under the Constitution. 1t is not, therefore
cause OF reproach, but of boastiDg, that the
great Democratic party of the country is will
ling, wnen arms are laid one side, to forget
the bitterness and hostility OF war, and ex-
tend the hand of fraternal kindness to the
men with whom they have been engaged In a
deadly struggle.
Republican orators reproach us for not
evincing the spirit of barbarous hate in the
midst OF Christian institutions. They arraign
the Democratic party for not practising the
vengeance familiar to the dark ages, amid the
blaze OF the nineteenth century. They clamor
for the "fruits of victory" while seeking to
kindle passions above which even an Athenian
populace and Roman Senate so often rose.
They proclaim the baseness of their natures
by protesting their unwillingness to trust
their own countrymen. They soil the glory
of the American name by their slanderous i'm
putations upon the honor of our Southern
brethren; for they are our brethren-brethren
by the ties of blood and by community of
interests; brethren by the rich association of
acommon language and the glorious memo

II took his ballot from him by foroe as he APP
preached the ballot-box, and prevented his
polHngi 1t. What is the function of police,
if IT is to stand idly by and see the whole body
Ct legal voters robbed of their rights, and the
popular verdict falsifed in crisis like this
lV. The police mean to detect and expose
the wholesale crime which is meditated-a
crime which strikes at the very Foundation
stone Of popular liberty. They have nothing
to do with party or politics; it is their duty to
prevent fraud and crime. Every illegal vote
polled is crime oommitted-a gigantic afro
cious crime. The World virtually confesses
that to prevent illegal voting is to red ucs
the Democratic majority. Every intelligent
politician knows that this is so that if 90 600
illegal votes are polled in this city, the Demo-
cratic majority will thereby be swelled at least
$4,000. That is no business Of the police, but
the prevention of crime is. On behalf of
all legal voters, who wish neither themselves
to cheat, nor to profit by others cheating,
we entreat the superintendent to do his
whole duty.

The Georgia Legislature and Its COlOred
Members.

From The ~ Y. Times.
The action of the Georgia House of Repre-
sentatives, in declaring cOlored members in
eligible, cannot fail to excite intense feeling
throughout the South, and to aggravate the
quarrel which the Southern Democracy appears
resolved to provoke. 1t is a step in the direc-
tion of that war of races which Northern sup
porters of Seymour declare imminent; and the
negro, it will be remembered, is the sufferer,
not the aggressor.
The pretence on which the House has pro-
ceeded, is that the State Constitution does not
specifically affirm the title of colored citizens
to seats in the Legislature. The Atlanta Con-
Stitution appeals to the proceedings of the late
Convention to show that it refused to affirm
the title in question; in proof of which it cites
the eXpunging by vote of 126 to II, of
section which, as originally reported, pro-
vided that 'all qualified electors, and none
others, shall be eligible to any Office in this
State, unless disqualified by the Constitution
of this State or by the Constitution of the
United States" The rejection of this clause,
the Macon Telegraph contends, considered in
connection with the re-enaotInent of the pre-
vieus Code of Georgia, ''re-establishes all the
old legislation of the State not inconsistent
with the Constitution of the United States and
of Georgia, and concluded the business. so far
as negro ofioe-holding in Georgia under that
Constitution was concerned" Aside from
this, the advocates of exclusion in the Legis-
lature insisted that Notwithstanding emanci-
patton, this is still white mans government,
and that the negro has no political rights in
common with white citizens, unless conferred
by the State, which, they allege, has not been
done in Georgia.
This ground, however, cannot be sustained.
So much of the old legislation of the State as
affirmed the superior status of white men, aud
confirmed upon them exclusive privileges, is
clearly abrogated by the new Constitution as

ries of common renown; brethren by years
OF dangers shared, and of prosperity without
parallel in human history; and though the
storm Of battle has rent us asunder, and
thousands have fallen in fratricidal strife,
yet we share alike the gleries of common
valor, and forgetting the sad tragedies of war
which never should have been, will cleave to-
gether as children Of the same mother in the
enjoyment of a common Constitution, which
guarantees to all alike the precious heritage of
free institutions. Palsied be the tongue and
blstered the throat Of the recreant American
who would make it matter of reproach to a
compatriot that he seeks to bring his estranged
conntrymen together in the bonds of heart
felt Union; that he seeks to reconcile differ
ences, soothe exasperated feelings, harmonize
clashing interests, and awaken the inspirations
OF common patriotism. BLESSED are the
peace MAKERS" says the Divine Word. On
the other hand, he who would protract strife,
who would for any cause keep alive the ami
nfOsities and the bitterness engendered by war,
when the roar of battle is no longer heard, is
accursed of God, and should be despised by
men.
The Republican party has fulfilled its mis-
sion. 1t carried on the war for the Union
blunderiDgly and with enormous expense; but
it has spent four years in trying in vain to
restore peace. Its legislation reeks of the
spirit of war. 1t deals in military domination
and drum-head court martials. 1t substitutes
the order of the camp for the decree of the
court. 1t deals in vindictive acknowledgements
and senseless disabilities. After years of war
like struggle, followed by domination over
one-half the republic, its leaders seem so far
incapable of peaceful solution of the national
troubles that they reproached the Democracy
for afliliating with the men whom it should be
the object of wise legislation to make contented
citizens. Such leaders may make good from
tiersmen or Apache chiefs, but they are utterly
unfit to control the councils of Christian
people.
