Great men are not always infalliblc in
their own families. We all know that
George ". caught it right hot from
Lady Martha's tongue, on occasions
when he did not toe the matrimonial
mark properly. Indeed, if we are to
credit traditions, the Father of his Coun-
try-our country--was made to stand
round quite lively whenever Martha was
in n bad humor, and her temper was
none of the sweetest, rs we nll have
heard. Special dispatches from Europe
to the New York papers affirm that the
Empress Eugene is displaying some of
the same symptoms, and, rolling up her
sleeves, has "gonc into" this fight like q
man. She gave the Emperor u severe
wigging on hearing he had sent his
horses to the front; said the idea of his
riding horseback in his present state of
health was preposterous; declared that
he should only ride in q carriage. To
all of which the Emperor shrugged his
shoulders and said nothing. After her
return from Cherbourg, and since Ma
poleon's departure, she declared her in
tention of going to the front to take
care of her family, and was only re-
strained with great difficulty. We like
this in Eugenie; it shows that, what
ever may be her qualities rs an EMPRESS
she is good woman and loves her hus-
band and child; that her heart is more
sensitive to their danger than to any
other claims. We feel that Lady Mar
tina would have done tho same thing
under.similar circumstances, and wo car

Thursday Morning. August rs, 1870.

The lesson recently taught by North
Carolina should have healthy and re.
assuring effect upon the Conservative
party of South Carolina. Upon the eve
of the late election, the old North State
was seemingly not less certainly doomed
to radicalism than is our own today; yet
the result of the election has been an
overwhelming defeat to the carpet-bag
hordes, foreshadowing their downfall
throughout the South, from the Potomac
to the Rio Grande. In the many snfe-
guards with which the radicals have an
deavored to prop up their party, such as
the enforcement bill, the militia bill, etc.,
they have invented weapons, which are
donble-edged, equally as dangerous to
themselves as to their political foes. Be-
sides this, q general disgust of carpet
baggery is rapidly spreading through the
negro ranks. They have been deluded
so long with unfulflled promises, they
find themselves SO invariably cheated out
of their aspirations, discover themselves
always in the attitude of mere tools for
the elevation of strange eadventurers, that
they now pause, and ask what is to be
gained by cultivating unfriendly rela-
tions with the white people of their sec
tion, with whose interests theirs must al-
ways be identical. 1t needed but this
pause in the food-tide of madness to set
in the ebb, and it dashed through the
ballot boxes of North Carolina, sweep-
ing away every vestige OF radical power
and influence. So will it soon sweep
across our own cane and cotton fields,
leaving South Carolina rcgeneratcd
State. Now, therefore, is the proper
time for the exercise of the utmost eau
ton and judgment by the Conservative
party in selecting candidates. All old,
wornout, fossilized politicians must be
repudiated. None but young, active,
capable men, free from all entangling
political alliances, must be put in nomi-
nation, and thus political victory in tho
fall elections may be assured
