WHY lie BECAME A SENATOR
And when any Senator charges that the
poiitical course on this floor of another Scna.
tor would be controlled by tho consideration
of the question of his re, election, it is an as.
pcrsion upon his integrity rs Il Senator and
an implication that he will violate his oath
MS such. When Senator allows his official
Senatorial conduct here to be governed by
such motives rs those, it is better that his
place should be filled ty another man; and
let me say that do not hold the scat | oc.
cupy here because | would have sought the
place which do hold, nor would have held
it or have been candidate for it but for the
fact that desired to keep out others who
were even less fit to be here than myself, and
that could select in my State many men at
that time who, if it had not been for these
very disabilities imposed by the fourteenth
amendment, would have stood on this floor
much ADLER advocates of the principles of the
Republican party, much stronger men for the
State of South Carolina and for tho United
States that | can ever hope to be.
PRESCRIPTION PLAYED OUT.
But, Mr.. President l did not rise to
speak at any length on this bill. | believe,
as | said when began, that the speech of
the Senator from Connecticut but rc.cchocs
the sentiments Of the vast majority of the
people of the Republican party and believe
that the acntcncss of tho Senator from In.
diana has in this instance failed him, and that
he has not sufficiently studied the sentiment
of the party of which he is SO distinguished
an ornament. / think that when the people
speak on this subject, he will find that he re.
presents not that majority which might have
the light to read minority out of its ranks,
but that he stands in minority which may
rather ask to be admitted to the orthodoy
platform Of The party.

The VICTOR AND THE VANoUIsHED.-"AsI
cannot die at the head of the army 1 lay my
sword at the feet of your Majesty" Thus the
Emperor of the French to his quondam friend
and royal compeer, Koenig Wilhelm l. of Prus-
sia. But few years back we remember to have
seen these two, the victor and the vanquished,
seated amicably together in one of the imperial
voitures which was being driven at the time
through the Bois de Boulogne. They chatted
apparently with the freedom and unreserve that
might mark the intercourse of old friends, turn
ing every now and then to acknowledge the
bows of many passer by. No royal cortege
attended the two sovereigns on that beautiful
evening drive. No pomp, no display, no sign
of rank, none of the glitter of the court went
with them. 1t was as though two unpretend
ing citizens had driven forth to inhale the pure
air of the Bois, or enjoy an hour of social COM
munion in its refreshing shade. The beaming
countenance of the kind old German King was
as benignant as the sky above him was clear.
He might have passed for venerable gentle
man of fortune who had withdrawn from the
cares of business; a retired wine merchant, for
instance, possessed of extensive estates upon
the Rhine; a man whose culture of the grape
had impaired to his character some of its gen.
erous glow and richness, and to his cheeks some
of its rosy bloom. But the man who sat beside
him never smiled. His face was pale and puffy,
as though disease had dried within him the
fountains of health his complexion of milky
hue, as though his blood never mounted above
his shirt collar. When bystander raised his
hat to this pale, puffy man, the latter returned
but cold and distant recognition. Evidently
he had forgotten that afternoon to shift from his
mind the weighty responsibilities of Empire.
He talked much to his companion, but his
speech seemed frozen. There was no humorin
as though a sphinx had been endowed with
voice, but denied all mobility of feature, all
play of countenance. Thus, Louis Napoleon
and William of Prussia, as they passed before
our eyes one afternoon six years ago.. What a
change has come DER the spirit of that scene
since chen! What Transformation from Will
liam, Hospitality entertained as the guest, OF
Bonaparte, and that same Bonaparte, robbed OF
his sceptre and his sword, prisoner in the

when the French infantry saw theft cavalry
thus fleeing before the foot soldiers, they IN
their turn came forward and attacked the Prus-
slams The Prussians waited quietly and patti
emily, enduring rapid and telling tire from the
chassepots, until their enemy had drawn so
near as to be within 100 yards from them
Then thew returned with the needle-guns the
ranid fire from the chassepots, and the French
infantry could no more endure the Prussian fire
than the cavalry to whose rescue they. had
come. The infantry fed in its turn, and fol-
lowed the cavalry to the place from which they
came-that is behind ridge some 5O0yards on
the wsy to Sedan, where the Prussian mitrail-
liers with their tearing fire could no longer
reach them. The great object of the Prussians
were gained, since they were not driven from
the crest of the hill they fought to hold
Holding it thus against cavalry, the Prussians
persuaded themselves that it was possible to
establish artillery on this hill.
The roads now presented terrible aspect
The French left everything, flying in every di-
rection, and throwing away their arms. Ihe
Prussian forces pressed forward resolutely, bent
upon cutting off their retreat towards Belgium.
The Prlssian troops used the bayonet with ter
rible effect. Night closed on the rout and pur-
snit leaving the Prussians gathering in. large
numbers around Sedan. The Emperor remained
at Sedan throughout the battle. At half-past
two o'clock message was sent to the Emperor
at his headquarters, advising him to fly to Bel
gium, but the Emperor was too ill to undertake
the journey.
This morning the Prussians prepared to at
tack Sedan, which was not in condition to re-
sist. At twelve o'clock q party of officers,
headed by General Wimpfen, left Sedan, bear
ing flag of truce It was received by the
Prussian advance guard and conducted to the
rear to the Prussian headquarters, where the
general formerly surrendered the French army
and fortress to King William. The French
party also bore letter from the Emperor Ma.
poleon to King William, stating he desired to
surrender himself, not having any command:

THE HOUSE OF ORLEANs.--Now, that the
present complications in France may at any
moment revive the Bourbon dynasty, it is in
terestinr to know who and what are the present
representatives of that ancient family. The
last King of France was Louis Philippe, de-
scendant of the Orleans branch of the Bourbon
family His eldest son; the Duke of Orleans,
married Helena of fMecklenburg- -Schwerin, May
80, 1887. During the reign of his father he
was killed by being thrown from his carriage.
He left two sons, Louis Philippe Albert, Count
of Paris, born August "a, 1880, and Robert
Philippe Louis Eugene Ferdinand, Duke of
Charities, born November 9, 1910. The Count
of Paris, the head of the family, is now thirty.
eight years of age. He has been traveller and
an author. He served for time with his
Younger brother, the Duke of Charities, on the
staff of Gen. Mcclellan on the Peninsula. The
brothers offered their services to Napoleon at
the outbreak of the present war, but there is no
evidence thus far that they have been accepted.
The surviving sons of Louis Philippe, uncles
to the Count of Paris and Duke Of Chartres,
are the Duke of Nemours, Sc years old Prince
de Joinville, 81 years old; Duke OF Aumal,
aged AZ, who rose to be Marshal OF France, a%i
had the distinction of receiving Abdel-Kadcr's
surrender; and the Duke of Montpensier.---
They have been fruitful and have multiplied.
There are enough of the family to stock al the

THE SISTERS OF MERcY.-An incident of
scarce line, some poor half dozen words con-
densed to the utmest of telegraphic brevity, the
episode of life as likely to pass unnoticed and
to be forever lost one slender beam of purest
light piercing the murky clouds of battles
one poor flower blooming in a jungle of thorns,
yet worthy of emblazoning in letters of gold
on the black tablet of passing events; all that
was told was of Sister of Mercy who tenderly
caring for fallen soldier stricken down in the
storm of battle, and receives herself fearful
wound, rallies for awhile, then dies with placid
smile on her holy lips.
God save us from taking little from the
guerdon of praise due to the thousands of he
roic dead, whether French or Prussian, I'M
known soldiers or historic Generals who, with
their last gasps, the cry of defiance on their
lips, their faces to the foe, their weapons in
their hands, sank lifeless on the sod; this frail
woman inspired by faith alone, her gentle limbs
nerved to the cruel task serene and calm whilst
breathing a whirlwind of plunging-hissing
deaths, without banching or qualing, steadily
pursues her sacred mission amidst horrors in
describable, until some cruel missile changing
her to the mangled semblance of human form,
she left this earth and mounted to heaven, bear
ing the martyr crown upon her lovely head.
What should we know her name? 1t would
give us nothing save passing sound, the fact
itself is all we care for | God in his great
mercy will treasure it If of things earthly
there is any good, may she find sepulchre in
some quiet grave---where ere sleeps our sister
will be consecrated ground--oyer: her may the
sweet breath of wild flowers mingle their per-
fumes with the songs of passing BIRDS 5i,
