a Frigh1fnI picture.

| If our readers would behold a fright
full picture of carpet-bag and scalawag
misrule, they are referred to copy of the
petition published elsewhere which is be-
ing numerously signed in South Carolina
for the consideration of Congress. To
aggrandize the Radical party laws were
passed destroying the civil government
of that State, and placing it under the alb
solute control of the carpet-bag adven-
turers and renegades who entered into a
joint arrangement for plundering the tax
payers and dividing the offices.
These conspirators organized the blacks
who were in a large majority in the State,
into separate party of antagonism to
the whites, and by taking them into the
co-partnership they have succeeded in
welding the power thus obtained for the
practice of the cruelties and villanies de-
picted in the petition.
1t is proper to say that Gov. Perry and
a few other impracticables in that State
who refused to accept the reality of negro
suffrage, and to act upon it in time to
check the operations of the adventures
and their confederates, contributed not
little to this condition of affairs. In their
madness, and foolish trust upon Supreme
Court decisions, they played into the
hands Of the common enemy, and now
bound with bands of iron, they are the
bleeding victims of the vultures who are
eating out their vitals.
Every State which has been "recon-
structed" by the instruments of Radical
vengeance, has had taste of the horrors
which the whites of South Carolina are
bitterly experiencing. Tennessee, North
Carolina, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas,
Florida, and Mississippi, are all melan-
choly examples of the fact. But thank
God, deliverance has come to some of
them; and the daylight of hope is burst
ing upon all

In a recent article we referred to th

In recent article we referred to the
monstrously stupid and unreasonable
charge that the credit of this State has
been injured BY the complaints Of the
Conservative press against the prohigate
expenditure of the public money which Is
being wrung from the people by means
Of grinding and oppressive taxation. Ii
is the cry of stop thief by the criminal
who seeks to divert attention from his
own acts. The party which is " sinking
the State In financial ruin. are the rulers
who have increased the number of agents,
and dependents on the State government
at enormous cost, for political ends-who
have inaugurated system Of unbounded
extravaganza in all the departments of
the Government. Witness the increase
Of salaries, TIE appropriations for the
mansion, for the Capitol building, for
Secret Service ostensibly to enforce the
criminal laws, for which Courts Of JUS
tice are established. Witness the whole
sale robberies which are of constant oc-
currence, By agents not of the peoples
choice; but by pensioners on their treas
ury. Witness the acts which are passed
authorizing the issuance of Certificates of
Indebtedness, in violation of the supreme
law Of the land, in order the better to
promote the schemes of the spoilsmen,
and the authority conferred without war
rant of the Constitution upon the Auditor
of Public Accounts 10 levy a special tax
for their redemption.
Is it possible for confidence in the Sc
curities of any Government to withstand
such high-handed encroachment upon
the rights of the people, who, it must be
known, are held firmly bound 10 protect
themselves from their consequences when
ever they az. able to do so?
In reference to this very subject of the
depression of Southern credit and the
real authors Of the mischief, the n. Y.
Bulletin, an able paper, devoted TO fnan-
ial topics, submits some observations
from its impartial standpoint, which are
entirely just:

CONGRESS. = Though the Radicals
have their two-thirds majority in this, the
closing session of the present Congress,
they do not have the smooth sailing which
brethren enjoy who live together in bar
mony; Senator Sumner has responded to
Grants imputatiAn of folly" against
the Senate for refusing to sanction his
san Domingo scheme, with a searching
resolution virtually rejecting on the Pre-
sident, designed to make revelation of
all his financial and diplomatic iutrigues
in connection with the subject.
Carl Schurz, anti-Grant Republican,
has rebuked the sullen silence of the
President in reference to general amnesty

Senator Caperly, (Democrat,) has in

dent for information touching the use of
the army in State elections in violation of
| the Constitution and of the right of the
States to conduct their elections free from
Federal interference. In this movement,
he will be seconded by the insurgent Re
publicans of the Schurz school, and will
be opposed by the bogus representatives
of the carpet-bag and scalawag tribes.
Senator McCreery Democrat of Ken
lucky, introduced resolutions inquiring
into the right by which the Government
holds the Arlington Heights, and, at the
same time, paid beautiful tribute to
Gen. Lee, without alluding to the merits
Of the war. The resolutions were attack
ed bitterly by many Of the Radicals, who
also, availed themselves of the opportu-
nifty to illustrate the fable of the ass kick
ing the dead lion, by making uncalled for
and unprovoked attacks upon the charac
ter Of Gen. Lee, after which the resolu-
ton was withdrawn.
In the House a resolution has been
passed abolishing the Ubiquitous internal
revenue, except as to whisky and tobacco.
Another resolution has been offered by
Democratic member for sweeping re-

have played into their hands.

county, by appointment of the
Governor, adds q postscript 70 business
letter as follows:
Neither nor any other appointee in this
county, have made any pledges 70 secure
appointments. So faras know. a few (buf
yerv few, are Radicals. Hence your general
1enunciation OF appointees Is iniuring your
paper in rhis county. We work for the peo-
pie not party.
We Will embrace the occasion again to
define the views of THB CLARION on the
subject referred to, promising that the in
timation of injury to the paper does not
weigh feather in determining its course.
We wish, therefore, to reiterate what We
have before distinctly announced that
this paper has not cast oensure on any
person for accepting Office. In Gaze il has
been rendered as public trust for the
| common good, and not as a condition Of
joining, or giving countenance to. or en-
couraging, the Radical party. What we
h2ve denouncedis the bargain and sale
| of principles and service for official pat
| ronage; and we have been prompted to
do so by the announcement in the official
organ of that party that it was the rule OF
| the Executive to make appointments on
this condition only. 1t was by this an
nouncement that it came to be under
stood by many that persons who had re-
ceived office, had stipulated to become
the supple instruments of tho party which
hold power by fraud on the people and
is exercising it to plumber, harass, humil-
late and Cypress them. We have receiv-
ed very many assurances that the state
ment of the organ was incorrect, and
that no such conditions were required. -
And this journal has invariably held that
inasmuch as the Radical spoliators have
refused to permit the people TO choose
their agents for themselves, it was proper
that good men should accept places OF
trust for their benefit if unaccom panied
with the base and humiliating condition
of joining the party of prescription and
! plumber. We are gratiied to receive the
assurance of the incumbent, quoted
| above; and in the occupation of the po-
sition he describes, he certainly cannot
appropriate any word of censure which
has appeared in our editorial columns

The records of births, deaths and marriages
in Massachusetts during the past year develop
some curious facts. A comparison between
the marriages of American and foreign-born
persons in the State and the births in the fam
lies of the same extraction show that while
there were twice as many American" " as
foreign" marriages, there were more children
born of the latter parentage than Of the for
mer. In Boston the two classes of marriages
were about equal in number; but the births of
foreign were as to of American parentage.
Yet the total number Of births was the largest
ever reported. Twins must be scarce for the
plurality births were not ] in so. The number
of marriages has diminished, being less than in
either last year or year before but there need
be no Encouragement to those seeking tender
tic, as it is recorded that maiden of 38 years
became the sixth wife of gentleman Of G5,
and there were three instances of marriage at
ages exceeding 80. On the whole the popula-
tion of Massachusetts is Increasing ut the rate
of % persons day, and if half of them settle
in Boston, mOiety of its present inhabitants
may live to see-abstractly considerod-a very
considerable city, something like New York %
or 80 years ago.

Romance in an Old Maids Life.

A sad as well as a romantic story has been
brought to light by the recent death Of " Lochy
OStrom, OF POughkeepSie, at the age of sew
enty-Seven, and to whom we have already Incl
dentally referred For years she had been to
all outward appearance a cOld-hearted, calcu-
latlng, avarclOus woman, and investigations
after her death disclosed property hid away in
an old trunk under her bed to the value Of over
S2l 800, besides papers showing that she own
ed real estate to the value Of $4,000. But
other things more romantic than bonds or gold
and silver were also found. A bundle of love
letters, seventeen in all, was tied neatly with
piece OF white satin ribbon, but the ribbon was
stained with time, and the paper on which the
letters were written was also stained. In one
OF the bedrooms, although LOchy was known
not to have bought two dresses in ten years.
were found twenty dresses. four or five Of which
were of elegant and costly silk, apparently at
least fifty years old Visible, also, were pots
of preserves, canned fruits, &C. Far back on
the shelf was found shriveled, dried-up fruit
cake. 1t looked as if it had been there for
threescOre years. 1t was highly ornamented,
and on the top, in the centre was sugar Gu
pld. 1t was very carefully slowed away. The
letters revealed her secret history. In her
young days Lochy had a lover who was devo-
tedly attached to her, and she loved him in re-
turn. The match was broken off by her par
ents, and the disappointed suitor moved away
from the place to Cincinnati. Twice he jour
neyed back to again offer her his heart and
hand but she tancied that her duty to her
parents forbade her acceptance. The lover
seems to have appreciated her filial love, yet
to have felt that if her love for him had been
entire she would have accepted his proposal
in which the mother whom she cared for was
not forgotten. He married another woman,
! who died after q few wears He kent nm his
correspondence with "Lochy" at long inter
walls; but she had become hard and cold
Thirty-ive or forty years after the commence
ment Of their acquaintance he again made her
an offer OF marriage but she was gray and
wrinkled, with all affection gone, save for her
money. She refused the offer, and neither saw
nor heard again from him who had been hel
lover. Such is one of the romances Of real
life.-AUaIty JoutuaL
