policy to be pursued in the South and the
relations of the legislation Of congress to

Of Alabame, ex.Gov. Parsons Of the

struction by congress has met with very
general disagreement; but in lien thereof
an amendment to the enforcement
act proposing that congress shall
apply registration for all states and
local elections and sustainit by a military
force seems to meet with more favor. A
bill has already been drawn up to that
effect. Another measure which proposes
to declare that the electoral vote of no
state shall be counted for president in
which any violence, intimidation or SO
called outrages have been practiced pre-.
cediug such election, has also been pro-
posed. Probably neither of these

For several generations the people of
the northern towns Of Rhode Island
have been familiar with the form of q
harmless itinerant, whose name was gen
orally unknown to the country folks.
Aged men say they remember him look
ing almost the same as at the last of his
while they were yet boys.
When q young man he was engaged to be
married, and on his wedding day he had
attired himself for the ceremony, when
word came to him that bis afianeed had
been suddenly taken away by death.
The shock unsettled his mental faculties,
and shortly afterwards he began those
singular wanderings, which were pro.
longed until he became at least ninety
years old. Starting from Western New
York, he included in his regular route
certain roads across the northern part Of
Rhode Island, and people along the line
of the chosen path were accustomed,
twice q year, at the same seasons, to ex.
poet his tall aud slender form, habited
always in the same suit, which he had
first put on for bis wedding. Constant
exposure wore out the fabric but he
would stop aud ask of those who treated
him kindly for the only article he ever
begged, thread and yarn to mend his
clothes. As years passed on, the repairs
to which bis garments were subjected so
altered and covered up the originals that
no one could tell of what celor they had
been at first; but he woulo never wear
any other but his wedding suit along all
his patient wauderings. For the past
year or two he has been missed from he
accustomed sounds, and it is supposed

in regard to the Republican party:
The Republican party has had an ardu-
ons road 10 travel 1t has beer like a
man travelling in storm, who buttons bis
coat across his breast and defies the
blast. and losses the snow wreafbs from

eau party achieved7 1t has rescued the
Union it has established the equaliza-
ton of ell before the laws; It has pre-.
served inyioiats the faith and honor oil
tbis guest nation. II any one says these
achievements are not enough to compens
ate for all the tolls and privations and
sxcrtions that this party has made, he il
hard to satisfy. But we have stIll in tn
future q glorious work before us In per
