I PoL1rIcA1 TRUCE. 1t seems TINT th.
nnremitting warfare, which has been
prosecuted with herculean vigor between
the representative men of the DeLarge
party and Bowen, is soon to come to IN
end. A truce has been declared for the
purpose Of collecting m indemnify of
$4,000, which the high and low privates
at the custom house are being taxed to
raise. In the event of failure of nego-
tiations to bring about solution of the
difficulty, the batteries of @. @. BIS
s'irrepressible" foe will be opened with
renewed yigor, in the form Of merci-
less prosecution OF the bigapy suit,
which, should peace set in, vii! be left to
wiiter away. The men who have to sub
NIT to the extortionate demands for
funds, are getting tired OF paying over
monthly pro rata assessments on their
salaries, and are crying deeply aud loud
" against the imposition.

a new light or free-love philosopher,
who had been misleading some weak
minded women in some villages in Con

oited popnlace and coat of tar without

rather too expensive an article to waste

transfer of Ku Kluxing operations from

the times. Great excitement exists in
Springfield, by reason Of the murder OF
Hon. Sharon Tyndale, late Republican
Secretary Of State for Illinois. He left
home about / A. NJ, of the 29th ult.,
and was found dead next morning, shot
through the head, and his money gone.
The perpetrator of the foul crime is IN.

State South of Mason and Dixon's line,
every Republican paper from Maine to

lKuEs KIux outrage. Occurring in the

STATE OF SoUTH CAROLINA,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,

| y. f5t4 EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
COLUMBIA, May 2, 1871.
To the Sheriff Of Fairfield County.
SIR: have been oredibly informed,
by q number of citizens of fairfield
County, as well as by your own official
communication. that on the night Of the
29tk ultimo, body of armed men, i'll
disguise, rode into the town Of Wins.
boro, and left at tho houses Of several
County officers written paper, i'll which
they were commanded to resign, and
threatened with violence if they failed
to obey. AS you are the chief executive
officer of the County. it is your duty to
take measures to ascertain and bring to
justice these masked violators OF the
public peace, and, for this purpose, you
should promptly invoke NIL The re-
sources which the law places ut your dis
posal.
In the last resort should the ordinary
service OF process prove inadequate to
make the necessary arrests, by reason Of
any armed combination, you will call out
the posse cOmttdtus, which call, have no
doubt, will be responded to by Ill good
citizens.
In all cases Of this character, whcro
citizens nre put i'll terror by armed bands
of lawless men, it is expected that the
local authorities shnll exhaust all legal
resources to give adequate protection to
life aud property, before the State Exc
cutive can properly intervene by extra
ordinary exhibitions OF force, hitherto
unknown to the administration of The
laws in civilized communities.
The failure of the proper County
officers to exert their utmost vigilance to
detect, and their most vigorous efforts to
bring to punishment oil disturbers OF
the peace, will be deemed conclusive
evidence Of their hagrant neglect of duty
or inef1iciency.
1t is grave reproach to tho people Of
Winnsboro, that band of fifty disguised
horsemen should have been permitted,
undisturbed, to enter their town and
occupy it for several hours, with the dc.
clared purpose of putting in terror, or
int1ictipg violence upon the sworn pub.
lie officers of the County.
In this connection. it is proper that
should call your attention to the recent
Act Of Congress, which makes all citi.
zens, who ore privy to any acts of orga-
nized violence. and fail to give any in
formation in their possession, that NAV
lead to the arrest of their perpetrators,
pa'ticel)S criminis in their guilt.

MY WIFE AND CHILD.
BY HENRY r.. JACKSON.

The tattoo beats, the lights are gone,
The camp around in slumber lies,
The night in solemn pace moves on,
The shadows thicken DER the skies;
But sleep my weary eyes hath flown,
And sad, uneasy thoughts arise.
think of thee, my dearest one,
Whose love my carly life hath blessed
OF thee and him, our baby son,
Who slumbers on thy gentle breast.
God of the tender, frail and lone,
Oh, guard the tender sleeper's rest!
And hover gently, hover near
To her, whose watchful eye is wet
To mother, wife-the doubly dear,
In whose young heart have freshly met
Two streams of love SO deep and clear
And cheer her dropping spirits yet.
Now, while she kneels before Thy throne,
o teach her, Ruler of the skies,
That while, at Thy behest alone,
Earth's mightiest powers fall and rise,
No tear is wept to Thee unknown,
No hair is lost, no sparrow dies
That Thou canst stay the ruthless hands
OF dark disease, and soothe Its pain;
That only by Thy stern commands
The battles lost, the soldiers slain;
That from the distant sea or land
Thou bring'st the wanderer home again.
And when upon her pillow lone
Her tear-wct cheek is sadly pressed,
May happier visions beam upon
The Frightening current of her breast:
No frowning look or angry tone
Disturb the Sabbath of her rest.
Whatever fate those forms may show,
Loved with passion almost wild
By day, by night, in joy or woe
By fears oppressed, or hopes beguiled,
From every danger, every foe,
God, protect my wife and child!
