An Infamous Outrage.

Col. j. Moroso, Of the Charleston
Courier, and campaign correspondent
of that journal, in ono of his Letters
from Marion says
cit IS true that Scott, in utter VIC.
,cnec of everything liko common do.
cency or Executive impartiality, has
appointed his own creatures to mauipu.
iato the ballot boxes. In the history
of Republics thcro cannot be found Il
more opeu-facod attempt on the part
Of an administration to cheat tho peo-
pie out of their God.given rights of
suffrage; and more pnl pablc outrage
was never pcrputrated, even by tho
Infamous Ring in Columbia. With
throc-fourths of the managers of c.co-
ion throughout tho StaSe candidates
for Office IN Scott's ticket, and all of
them ollicc-holdcrs or creatures of
Scott, it would seem that there ro-
manned not single ray Of hopo for
tho honest men in tho State. But I
believe that even this Infamous and
STAINLESS resort will not effect the oh.
ject Intended to bo effected, II our
people arc true to the spirit which
animated our foretathcrs, ,rc ,piN hare
nJa|r election and a (nir count. These
tools will not dare tramplc upon tho
rights of 10000 fccemcn, and tampcr
with the ballot boxcS, If our people
shcw them that they will not permit
it. Let commi''ccs be i, pointcd in
the various precincts and owns to
guard the hlllot boxcs "s .hcv warli
guard their sacred ho, \ ;nevt !1s-
ing sight of them dying # need 10
in the cause and let them sec tbs
c'"nt-in>ist upon it's being done as
tho election is over, and in public. If
we arc sufficiently in earnest to do
this, the men to whom Scott has
given control Of tho ballot boxes will
never dare to tramplo with the votes"
About Marrying TOO YOnng.
Mrs. Elizabcth,Stanton says: "Girls
do not reach their maturity until
twenty-five, yet at 81 xtccn they are
wives and mothers all over the land,
robbed Of all thershts and freedom
of childhood in marriogc, crippled in
growth aud development, the vital
forces NODDED to build up vigorous
and healthy. wonN2nhood are sappcd
aud perverted from their legitimate
channels in tho mature Office Of repro
duction. When tho body is ovortax.
cd, tho mind loses its tone and sot-
ties down in gloomy discomfort that
enfccblcs the whole moral being. The
feehlc mother brings forth fcoblo sons,
tho sad mother those with morbid ap.
pctitcs. The constant demand of
stimulnnts among men is the result of
morbid conditions of their mothers.
Healthy, happy, vigorous womanhood
would do more for tho cause of ten.
pcrance than any prohibitory or Ii.
ccnsc laws possibly oan. When wo-
man, by the observance Of the laws of
life and health, is restored to her nor
nal condition, maternity will not DO
period of weakness, but Of added
power. With that high preparation
Of body and soul to which L havo ro-
fcrred, men and women of sound mind
and body, drawn together by true scn-
timents of affection, might calculate
with certainty on happy home, with
healthy childrcn gathering round
their fifcsdo. 10 this cnd let girl
hood bo sacrclly devoted to education,
to mental, moral and physical growth,
to as high preparation for personal
independence and ambition as boy
hood is to-day"
Clarence Percy Mortimer is nice
name. Any number of young ladies
would like to fall in love with man
who owned that name. Clarence in
itself, or Percy, or Mortimer, would
be the fortune Of any youth (no mat
ter how little known to fancy In tho
neighborhood of a female boalding-
school. IF We could represent mod
ern romance by nino points, Clarence
Percy Mortimer would make three Of
thom. How shocking, therefore, is it,
how destructive to tho all-bright girl!
ish GaIcics that the nero mcntion Of
such n namo Inspires, to know that
the Clarence Percy Mortimer sd
refer to is not a hero or troubador,,
but an Illinois horse thief.-N. Y.
