~ The U. S. Spy System in Rhode
island was carried on Election day to a
most offensive extent, says the Provi-
dence Press (Rep):
The Marshal of r. ]. refused to give
the names of his assistance or the num-
Der of them. They went to work in
secret. Eayesdroppers, listeners to
conversation between gentlemen, spies,
political ground mOles, burrowing and
roofing to End material, not for the use
of the q. $ government, but for fac
ton. No badge designated them aud
no word indicated the loathsome ma
ture of their mission.
1t is the commencement in this cOun-
try of the old exploded spy police sys-
TEN of the rOttOn absOlutisln of Europe.
The party countenancing this con-
structiOn in this country is doomed to
Il speedy downfall 1t will revive the
old party animosities of the days of
Federalism. 1t is a lOug step, ani the
most important ane, in the direction of
a strong central government. If al
lowed, the rights of the States and of
the citizens would be annihilated. The
government machine would grind out
what it pleased.
A beautiful system this for free
people and free government. Gen.
Grant enjoys the peculiar honor of in
Producing this spy system among us.
No wonder the people chafe under it.

u Weather, the past week, has va
ried somewhat from its long beautiful
path. We have experienced about 4s
hours real mean and ugly weather,
with rain and wind. But since this
bad spell all is righted again, and we
now enjoy another course of lovely
weather.
The river is still low and falling. nav
igation at the mouth still bad, shutting
out our fine Packets. Cotton, sugar
and molasses have poured into Town
and Pineville. Every Warehouse is
crowded, at least, while we write
The Lulu D., specially chartered by
Captains Haherle and HEM, came up
Sunday night, put out her up freight
here and loaded entirely here. This
was very considerate and great relief
to shippers. The Rapides, going down
this evening, viii make a clean sweep
of the balance.

WHAT CONSTITUTES EELL.-Mr. Nor
man Macleod is accredited with the
following: Let the fairest star be Sc
lected, like the beauteous island in the
vast and shOreless sea of the azure
heavens, as the future home of the
criminals from the earth, and let them
posses what they most love, and all
that it is possible for God to bestow !;
let them be endowed with undying
bodies, and with minds which shall
ever retain their Intellectual powers :
let no Saviour ever press his claims
upon them, no God reveal himself to
them, no Sabbath ever dawn upon
them, no saint ever live among them,
no prayer ever be heard within their
border, but let society exist forever,
smitten only by the leprosy Of hatred
to God, and with utter se!tishness as
its all pervading and eternal purpGse-
then, as sure as the law of righteous
ness exists, on which rest the throne of
God and the government of the uni
verse, as society SO constituted must
work for itself hell of solitary and
bitter suffering, to which there is no
limit except the capacity ola finite ma
ture; alas the spirit that is without
love to its God or its neighbor, is
already possessed by a power which
must at last create for its own self
torment worm that can never die,
and a fire that can never more he
quenched.

STRONG CHARAcTERs.-Stre ~
character consists of two thinrsonor.
er OF will and power of self-restfaint
1t requires two things, therefore. for
its existence -strong feeling and strous
command over them. Now it is herr
we make great mistake; we mistats
strong feelings for strong character =
A man who bears all before him, b.
fore whose frown domestics trembL
and whose burst of fury make the chill.
dren of the household auake-becaue
he has his will obeyed, and his ova
way in all things-we call him astrour
man. The truth is, that is the veal
man it is his passions that are strong
he, mastered by them, is weak. You
must measure the strength Of man BY
the power of the feelings he subdues
not by the power of those which arb.
due him. And hence composure i
very often the higbestresult OF strength.
Did we never see man receive . A.

and then reply quietly That l. :
man spiritually strong. Or, did We
never see man in anguish stand, 20 #
carved out of solid rock, mastering
himself9 Or one bearing a hopeless
daily trial remain silent, and never tell
the world what cankered his home
peace !? That is strength. He who,
with strong passions, remains chaste;
he who, keenly sensitive, with manly
powers of Indignation in him, can Be
provoked and yet restrain himself, and
forgive-these are the strong men, The
spiritually heroes.

NEW SENATOR'S.

The Legislature of North Caro-
lima has elected Hon. q. B. Vance,
U S. Senator for six years in place
of the carpet-bagger Abbott. Gov
ernor Vance is one Of the ablest
n. en- in a State that has ever been
proverbially prolific in able jurists
and Statesmen. He is one of the
most popular and effective speak
ers in the South, and cannot fail to
take high stand in the Senate.
AS Governor Vance gave all the
aid and comfort he was able to the
rebellion, some of the truly loyal
are already setting up howl and
calling for his rejection when he
presents himself at the bar of the
Senate. On the other hand Mr..
Greeley, who has become disgust
ed at the course Of the North Car
DINA Radicals, which he thinks
cost them the State, is equally
positive that he, and all like him,
must be admitted.
The regenerated State of Ala
bama has been equally happy in
securing good Democratic Sena-
tor in place of the Yankee Warner
The next Senator is Judge Gold
thwaite, an old and highly esteemed
citizen of the city of Montgomery.
He has been Judge of the Circuit
and Supreme Courts of the State
and has a high reputation as ju-
rist but is comparatively unknown
in politics outside Of the State.
There was much rejoicing in Dem
ocratic and Conservative circles
over his election, and his friends
claim that he will do honor to the
State which has elevated him.
1t is said that West Virginia,
now thoroughly Democratic, will
elect Hon. Charles James Faulkner
to succeed Senator Wiley. Mr..
Faulkner was, for many years, an
able member of Congress from Vir-
ginia and q. S. Minister to France
at the time of Secession. AS he
had the honor of incarceration in a
Federal Fort for treason, the same
objection will probably be urged
against his admission as against
that Of Governor Vance. He has,
however, too much ability and hon
esty not to call forth an earnest ap-
peal from Mr.. Greeley in his behalf.
We are pleased to see that the
Democrats in the Southern States
are determined to give. as in times
past, the Offices to those best quail
lied to fill them. The Radicals,
however, do not seem to improve
on their old plan. Robertson has
just been reelected from South
Carolina, and we doubt not some
one equally as incapable will get
Harris seat from Louisiana.

THREE STEPS TO HEAyEN.-The Rev.
Rowland Hill once visited poor man,
of weak intellect, and on conversing
with him, said:
"Well, Richard, do you love the
Lord Jusus Christ 2"
'To be sure l do; don't YOU"
"Heaven is long way Off" said the
minister, sand the journey is very
difficult"
tDo you think SO? I think heaven
is very near"
Most people think it is very diff
cult matter to get to heaven"
Z 81 think heaven is very near" said
Richard again. s'and the way to it is
very short; there are only three steps
there"
Mr.. Hillreplied: "Only three steps ~
Richard repeated: ''Yes, only three
steps,"
"And pray" said the pastor, "what
do you consider those three steps to
be ~
sThose three steps are: out Of self,
unto Christ, into slory.'
