THE DAILY NEWS.
Anonyna,
By EpMuND CLARENCE srEpMAN.

If had been rich mans girl,
With my tawny hair. and this wanton art
OF lifting MY eyes In the evening whirl
And looking into ano.her's heart;
Had love been mine at bircb, aud friends
Caressing and guarding me night and day.
With doctors to wa ch my finger ends,
And parson to teach me how to pray;
II I had been reared as others have
With but q 1.-THE of these looks, which came
From my reckless mother now In her grave
And the father who grudged mo even his name
Why. should have station and tender care,
Should ruin men in the high-bred way,
Passioness, smiling at their despair.
And marrying where my vantage lay.
As it is, I must have. love and dress, -
Jeweled trinkets, and costly food,
For born for plen eousness.
Music and flowers, and all things good;
To that same father owe some thanks,
Seeing, at least, that blood will tell,
And keep me ever above the ranks =
Of those who wallow where they fell.
True there are weary weary days
II In the great hotel where make my lair,
Where lneet the reE with their brutal praise
Or answe, the women, stare by stare,
'Tis an even fight. and I'll carry it through
Pit them against me, great and small
grant no quarter, nor would sue
For grace to the sweetest Of them ALL
1 cannot re .ember half the men
Whose sin has tanrcd them In my tolls
All are alike before mo then,
Part Of my easily conquered spoils;
Tall or short, and dark Or 1alr,
Rich OF faInous, naughty or fond,
There are few, hnd, who will not .socrrswear
The lovers oath and the wedding bond.
Fools what is it that dl ives them on
With their perjured lips on poison fed;
Vain of them elves, and cruel as stone,
How should they be SO cheaply led
Surely they know me as am
Only cuckoo. at the bcst,
Watching, caroless of hate and shame,
To crouch myself in another's nest.
But the women-how they futter and Aout,
The stupid. terribly virtuous wives.
If but chr nee to move ABOUT
Or enter within their bustling hivesl
Buzz buzi in the scandalous gatherings.
When strange queen lights amid their throng
And their tongues have o thousand angry stings
To send her travelling, right or wrong.
Well the earth is wide and open to all,
And money and men are everywhere,
And as roam, twill ill befall
If I do not gam my lawful share;
One drops OIL. but anoIher will come
With rs light head and heavy purse
80 long as have the world for home
I'll take my fortune, better or worse

merly afforded. To us these are Of vital i'm
portance; indeed, that road may be regarded
as an extension Of this. We have, also, the
pleasure Of stating TO you the revival Of the
charter OF the South Carolina Central Railroad,
mainly by the citizens of Sumter and Cla,en-
don, and under which they propose to con-
struct q road about forty-five miles long, from
this road. This will place Sumter Wtth'n n''t5-
foe miles of Charleston. as now against one
hundred and thirty milos via Klngville, and
one hundred and forty-one miles via Florence.
AS it will bring her nearer to Charleston than

ing country will then seek our market over
this as "the shortest, quickest and cheapest
route" Its course through Clarendon will open
to the producers of naval stores and lumber an
extended and profitable field OF labor, and be
the means of bringing into active cultivation
many valuable, but now neglected plantations.
Our present financial condition is not perhaps,
one to warrant our assisting this enterprise to
certainly afford it all the aid and encourage
ment in our power. In passing, we would
warmly commend it to the attention of our
merchants We have also to notice an increas-
ing interest in the construction vi the CheraY

hoped, will result in some active measures for

umatiIln County Indebtedness.

pESDLETOS, UREGON, May L, looS.
ED. STATESMAN AS erroneous states
ments have been published in regard to the
indebtedness of Umatilla county, with the
hope of manufacturing, political capital, l
thought, it would not be out of place to in
form your readers, and the public generally,
how the matter stands. After a close in
specton of the clerks books of record, at
this place, l find the debt of the county to
be $40 1870 26 and no more. You will dis
cover ShUt this is less than one third the
amount of indebtedness which the radicals
paraded as the result of democratic rule in
this county. 1t has been published and
peddled here and elsewhere, that this county
was S3l 900 90 in debt, and that the same
was increasing annually, as the result of
mismanagement, incompetency, and the cor
ruption of democratic officials. The affairs
of this county look as bright as could be ex>
pectca under the circumstances, in which she
is placed. Her records compare favorably
with any other, and her county board guard
as vigilantly the treasury and finances as
any set Of men whose transactions | have
examined There IS one fact in relation tc
the incompetcncy of officers which seems t.
be overlooked that is this that ont of de-
linqucnt tax list, of S2l 900 90 turned ove'
to the sheriff of Umatila county for cOllcc
tion, he collected By the 1st., day of April,
of the present year, all of said delinquent
tax except, S3, 700 90, which certainly does
not show any great want Of competency, or
yet the presence of corruption.
Let the facts be given, aud let the honest
men of the country judge and determine the
character of the radical assaults, whethQr
they are based upon truth or grow out Of
partizan malice. Let it also bo known that
the dent of the county has been reduced
three thousand dollars in the past year. l
am willing to condemn incompctency and
corruption in any party, but when | see as
saults made upon men whom know person
ally, and have known TO be good men, aud
true in whatever position they have been
placed, l have ight in common with the
rest of their friends, to demand the proof il
any against. have gone farther then could
be required of me- and shown the other side
Of the question before the affirmative case
was made out Democrats can see from this
simple statement, how much reliance is to be
placed in radical assertions; concerning demo.
cratic Office holders. 1t comes with very bad
grace from men who uphold all manner of
robbery, swindling aud peculation in Office
to raise the cry Of corruption The demo-
Gratis Of this county are pleased with your
nominee for Congress and will rejoice with
you in his triumphant election. U.

Chapel Hill.

When Gen. Adkins visited Chapel Hill,
he was insulted by the students because he
had been Federal officer. When Andrew
johnson visited the same University, Con-
federate flag was found hanging in one of
the Society Halls. The majority of the
people of Chapel Hill did not denounce
these exhibitions of rebellious sentiments as
they should have done, publicly but rather
seemed TO uphold the students in their
reckless course. These, with similar offences
demanded of loyal men in the State reor-
ganization of the University This being
done. the consequence is that the ultra
Democrats of the State have ceased to
patronize the college There are but few
students now. The property at the
Hill suffer- They complain. We trust that
an alteration will take place, and the pros
perity of the University be restored but it
cannot be done speedily while all
the Democratic papers in the State
malign and decry the abilities of the
present faculty. No one can question the
learning of its members. Their moral char
acters are unstained. Still for the gratifica-
ton of party hate, they are constantly
abused. The University suffers. Still it is
and must be gaining in public confidence,
while its present managers are acquiring the
virtues taught by adversely. They are lay
ing their foundations deep. They are doing
as Caldwell did, and they will succeed in
the end. Then let the honest men of the
State uphold the hands of their servants,
and turn a deaf ear to the defamations of
their enemies. We say to the people at the
Hill, go and do likewise The future is your
own to use or abuse. Repinings will not
stop the tongue of the slanderer. You can
and you ought to do 1t, and then there will
be no further grounds of complaint

Execution of the Wads pitcher Muir.
derers.


On the 23rd of May, 1868, Wade Ditcher
! was brutality murdered IN Halifax. Geo.
Baker, Jim Thomas and Geo. Johnston (Bay-
line) we're arrested, tried, convicted of the
murder, and sentenced to be executed on
the 2sth of May last. Many people believed
Daytime guiltless, and after many petitions
the Governor respited him until the 25th
inst Baker and Thomas were respited UNI
til the 4th instant, and this gave the doomed
men hope that they would be pardoned.
On the second of June, however, the Gov
erDor ordered the Sheriff of Halifax to exc
cute the death sentence pronounced by the
Judge upon Baker and Thomas. They were
informed there was no hope on the morning
of the day of execution, and Father Gross,
assisted by members of the Catholic. Church,
administered the last rites of religion to. the
dying men. They made no confession of
the crime, or any completely therein.
At half-past twelve they were brought
out and mounted upon the scaffold. Baker
looked upon the little crowd who had been
admitted inside the enclosure with apparent
indifference, while Thomas face quivered.
They kissed the cross eagerly, their hands and
feet were tied, the fatal moose was adjusted
about their necks, the caps were drawn over
their faces, the priest stepped forward and
said the prisoners desired to forgive all
with whom they might have had trouble,
the support was knocked out and their
souls were ushered into the awful presence
of their Maker. Baker died without strug-
gle, but Thomas was convulsed for some
minutes. In twelve minutes they were pro-
nounced dead, and in about thirty-fve
minutes the bodies were cut down.
Bakers body was given to his mother to be
removed to Littleton, Halifax county
Thomas being buried in Halifax.
There was little excitement attending the
execution, the people quietly acquiescing in
the sentence of the law, which took the life
of men who had violated human and divine
law by committing murder.
Johnston Or Daytime stands respited until
June 25th, when he will be executed, unless
the Governor should exercise the executive
clemency in his behalf.
