- uuS Aou WHO nau r6Delled against
the National Government, only the citi.
1ens OF my country, who, if they had
done much wrong, had also, as a conse.
sought TO win them back to q better
feeling, that all GLASSES of ouri citizens
might dwell together as brethren, under
the shelter of common mansion. and
That the united efforts of the Whole
might be directed to lifting the State up
from the universal prostitution ouused by
the wanton acts of part.
Actnated by these motives, and as q
testimony that the new administration
was neither partisan nor vindiotive. in
my trst message to the General Assem-
bly,, used the following language on the
subject of political disabilities:
IL would earnestly recommend that
your honorable body will, at an early
period, memorialize Congress to relieve
every citizen of South Carolina from all
political disabilities I make this re.
commendation the more readily, from
the fact that there are believed to be
none OF that class in this State who have
committed infamous offences against the
laws of war.
'Ihe statute of Acknowledgement was
doubtless wise and proper at the earlier
stage OF reconstruction. and Justly
marked the nations adherence of those
who, having been the trusted leaders of
the people, had led them into rebellion
against the benign government of their
country. Yet the continuance of such
disfranchisement would be an anomaly
underl our Republican system, based
upon the doctrine OF universal suffrage.
Let us hope that such an act OF magma
nimity will not be mistaken by the class
dlsiranchised, while to deny it will tend
to make them objects of sympathy, and

Democracy has taken a new de-
parture. That is not strange for
Democracy, nowadays, has the
chameleon trait of assimilation with
the nearest object it can reach for
support. Straws. in the absence of
more stable materal. are caught at,
and then Democracy wears q pale
and yellow melancholy hue. Dem
ocracy has drifted clear away from
| its former annexation creed. The
time was when Democracy would
annex Texas by resolution; when
New Mexico and California could
be gobbied up under Democratic
falsehood, and when the Democrat
ic battle cry was, "the whole bound
! less continent "is"-ours. Thai
was when Democracy had the rule.
But it has changed its pitch to suit
the sad tune it now sings, and the
last pitch it has taken, is opposition
TO annexation. Senator Thurman.
the Ohio Democratic Presidential
candidate, has taken ground against
San Domingo, because portion of
the people do not speak English.
How is that for Dem m0cracy? Why
this sudden change in Democratic
tactics The glance at the past, and
another glance at the present salts
factoriiy answer the question. Tex
as, New Mexico and California, were
brought in to aid the slavery power.
1t was thought it would seal the per
petuity of involuntary servitude, and
forever overbalance free sentiment,
hy the annexation of two that were
unquestionably slave territory, while
the third was peopled by those who
svmpathized with slavery. Now, if
San Domingo comes in, no such re-
suit can follow. In the one case the
Democratic party was to be strength
ened by increasing the slave power
now nothing can be gained in that
direction. That's what's the matter

IDLY DO. Duty dictates that L
should enter first"
The lamp was still burning. 1t
shed sickly glare upon the sombre
walls and melancholy relics of NOR
tality enshrined within that gloomy
receptacle. The sexton, who had
been closely followed by the Baron,
uttered an exclamation, of terror
and surprise.
Wherefore this sudden fearf 2"
said the latter.
Look yonder. The saints be
good to NE, guilty sinner that ]
am! calculated Heintz, falling on
his knees and clasping his hands, as
if making a mute appeal to some
matron saint.
Upon the instant, the Baron's
eyes were directed to one object in
the vault, at the further extremity
of which he beheld his wife seated
on stone. She looked more like
spectre than denizen Of this
world, albeit she regarded the new
corners with vacant stare, such as
persons might display who had sud
denly awakened from a long, deep
sleep.
Heavens! Am l dreaming, or do
my senses deceive me ?" exclaimed
the Baron. "Shroedcr, my dear
wife, speak answer me! Say, is
it you? Speak, dearest! For mer-
cy's sake, speak !"
Where am l? And what is the
meaning Of all this Z" murmured the
Lady Shredder, in faint, weak
| tone.
Her husband sprang forward and
clasped her in his arms. He took
her cold hands within his own,
clasped them, and covered her face
with warm kisses. Meanwhile, the
sexton rocked himself to and fro,
calling upon all the saints in the
calender to shield him from harm
Lady Shredder had already real
lied her position. After Heintz's s
departure she awoke from her leth-
argy, and passed some terrible mo-
ments. To her surprise she dis
covered that she was clothed in
sill, She glanced around, and her
position was but too palpable. In
stead of being in warm bed, she
was reposing in a narrow coffin.
The appalling idea of being buried
alive occurred to her: above all, the
fear Of dying of hunger, aud Of
passing her last hours amidst the
dead, raised her despair to the high
est pitch. She looked with horror
upon the long rows of leaden cof,
fins; despair gave q temporary
strength, and she succeeded in
reaching the cloister, where she
wandered about for some time then,
faint and sick of heart, she returned
to the vault for the lantern; a sud-
den weakness compelled her TO rest
! for awhile on one of these stones,
and while she was in this posture
relief came to her.
Her husband and the sexton made
their appearance. The former joy
fully bearing his beloved wife in his
arms, adopted the fitest measures
for her restoration. He took he: TO
the hotel, and contrived to conceal
the true cause of her resuctation.
Great was his joy when the physi-
clan in attendance upon his lady de-
clared that all danger was over. 1t
was impossible for him to remain
angry with Heintz Wherart, whose
sacriligious crime produced such
happy consequences.

Selma Railroad Bonds for Sale.

In another portion of to.day's issue
appears notice of the Selma, Marion
and Memphis Railroad Company offer
ing the bonds of said company for sale
in this market. The bonds Of Hale,
Pickens, Alabama and Green counties,
in Alabama, and of Lowndes and Mon
roe counties, in Mississippi, will be
placed on the Memphis market. 1t is
usual to rush all such good investments
to New York, where they are generally
disposed Of without much trouble, but the
company in this instance has departed
from the custom in order to give Mem
phis capitalists chance for investment.
The bonds are solvent securities, for the
payment Of which the respective coun-
ties are legally bound, by late decision
of the Supreme Court of Alabama,
which decided that the counties had not
only right to issue bonds, but the State
courts would enforce their payment by
writ of mandamus, and compel the
county authorities to levy tax for their
prompt payment. 1t is expected that
these first-class securities will meet
with ready sale in our market.
