ilnprcss:cnuble reality. Gradgrind, with

on the ;lnpudent principle that the world
owe, him his r%ations. and that butchers

meagr- pay to Snodgrass' unlimited
promise to pay; and the plain business
fac. of the hard man of business is more
acceptable than the open, laughing coro-
tonanc. Of the confidence operator.
Tle Il N.!;n and its kindred Of til. ia

sending to market for spring lamb with
out Is dollar to pay for it. They draft

and Charleston has demanded the svm-
pathv of the civilized world for the
oppression which sh. has suffered within
the last two years. The EaNeii" has wept
over this Niobe of the South. and has
constantly declared it, unwillingncs, to
be comtorted until the last Republican
has been swept from the State. And yet.
on Tuesday. the Bulletin was cornered b.
Gradgrind, and cheated into discounting
its constant lamentation, by publishing
the following cheerful picture Of Charles
ton under Republican rule. Where is the
ruin that was 50 sad and universal in the
Palmetto State: Let S~nodgrass have no
more spring lamb. for lis credit is
played out. He comes forward himself
and coatesses that lie has imposed upon
us with a sorry tale which was no true.
Now let him cheat Us no more. See how
he ~contradictS the tales Of misery which
he ha, been preaching into our car, to
gam oUr sympathy. Away with him his
is Il fraud according t. lis own
showing. Here it is:

are making large orders. The wharycs are.
