The HATRED OF REPUBLICS. 1t has
been already stated that the mission OF
|M. Thiers to the great powers of Eu.
rope has failed to elicit the sympathy OF
|aid of Russia. England or Austria. The
general view which they take of the
eituation is that there is no government
|in France which they can recognize.
Seeing that the provisional governmen,
lis universally acknowledged aud obey cd
France. it is difficult to see
why it is not government; and hence
the conjecture is at least plausible one
|that the real objection to the recognition
lis that the new government is Republican
IF this is the true cause Of the monarc!iial
ignoring of the only supreme authority
Recognized in Franco, it is challenge to
the liberal and progressive idcns of the
|age which the German peoplu will one
day take the lead in answering, if the
war leaves them in condition to express
their political ideas on any subject.

4 HORRIBLE SCENE AT AN EXECUTION. :

3brlgands. The criminals were six in
]number, and two of them drew daggers

their heads under the fatal axe, and

! selves with their axes and knives against
the robbers, aud did this with so much
fury that two of the criminals were dead
]and chopped te pieces before their heads
fell by the fatal axe. This horrible spec
1tacle was enacted before an immense con.
acourse of people.
A rumor which has for some time past
obtained credence, gains strength that
Secretary Cox, at Washington, proposes
Ito retire soon from the Cabinet, in con
sequence of his disgust at the corrupt
1practice of exacting compulsory contri-
buttons from Office holders for election !
aeering purposes. He has the tcmerity
4 to maintain that Office holders, while
absent from Washington, strolling
Through the country for pleasure, should
not be paid. And for these anti-radical
Opinions, Gen. Grant-the prince of
adlers and stragglers-is showing his
teeth ut Secretary Cox, and threatening
1 to dismiss him as one Of the unfaithful.
AS m instance of German forethought,
we learn that rs early rs the latter part
1 of August, the royal printing Office at
Berlin had finished and forwarded to the
! front 5000 copies of specified plans of
3the Notifications Of Paris. They con-
3tained all the latest additions, and alsoI
The improvements which were in course|

Tho body of A. L. Avery, of Aurora.

spot in the WOO .s, about twelve miles
from Louisville, KY, with bullet hole
lin the head. A year ago, the body of al
murdered peddler was found near the|
same spot. An investigation is going on.
At Branch, Michigan, Saturday, Mr..
IL. W. Eldridge and daughter, whilel
crossing the railroad track in lumber

The OAReLINA IssUE.-A distinguish.
3ed Northern man passing through South
dCarolina, few days ago, was surprised at
jthe military influences active at Ridge
Post Office, Edgefeld District, station
o. the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
4 RAILROAD. Two companies of Soott's
1 Winchester Rifemen, who were being
drilled at q short distance from the rail
way, marched to the station to exhibit
3their proficiency in the manual of arms
and field evolution. Of course all were
3colored--highly colored, exclusively
3oolored, save the CLEAN of the rifles and
3bayonets. Naturally enough this distin-
5guished traveller (who, by the way, ha>
]gained distinction in wooing tho muses.,

arts of wary asked what means this mill
3tary? Promptly tho answer was given,
ban election approaches, and Scott. the

never either active or caring much about

Long before the plan of the present
political campaign was inaugurated, r.
4. Scott, the incumbent of the Execu-
tive Chair in South Carolina, deliberate
1Iy, at the "Capitol of the Nation" in
Washington City, announced "the Win
chester rifle to be the best law" not only
for South Carolina, but with an expand.
ling outlook for Georgia and North Caro-
lima. On Wednesday next, the author OF
this Infamous. diabolical radical doctrine
will doubtless display the practical ap-
}plication of his political creed. Military
ballots will be cast, aud military ord ,rs
will direct the polls. This is the legiti.
mate deduction. Grant said to the peo.
i pie of the United States, "Let us have
peace" Mendoza Scott says to the peo-
1ple of South Carolina, "Thc Winchester
jrihe is the best law" Does Scott sup
port tho administration? Does the nd.
]ministration sustain Scott with his rifle
llaw? Which is the true Republican
(which the loyalist? The issue before
the people Of South Carolina forced
1upon them by the incumbent of the
|Ihighest official in the State-is, which is
the best law-the Winchester rifle or the
4ballot? Neither of the candidates were
lcitizens of the State before the close oi
THE war. Scott is for the rifle law. Car.
Jpenter is for a free ballot aud reform in
administration. Between those are the
apeople ofaCarolina to choose.

Tho Reform Moottng IN Charleston.
The Charleston Ne,rs gives us q full
account of the grand Reform meeting in
Charleston on Tuesday evening last.
COL Simons presided. General Hamp-
ton, General Butler, M. P. O'Connor,
Col. Rutledge and others spoke, and the
meeting closed amid much enthusiasm.
The meeting was frequently interrupted
by radical brawlers, and finally it became
necessary to drive these characters away,
after which the speaking was quietly
carried on. Several colored Reformists
spoke. The crowd was estimated at
5000 persons, embracing all classes.
Our O1rY BY THE SEA hos spoken in
thunder-tones, and we learn with graft
aoation of the greeting that Generals
Hampton and Butler received in behalf
of the redemption of the State.
