committed BY president Grant in his
late nroclamation A correspondent Of

Newbury under date of October sixth,
saws that not a single case of XVI ux
troubles has been discovered in that
county within the last year. This
statement is on the authority of the radi-
cal auditor of the county. The cor
respondent further says, that from con-
versation with all parties, white and
black, he cannot learn that the slightest
resistance has ever been made by the
inhabitants, to state or federal officers.
Doubtless the same might be said with
equal truth of the other eight counties
included. The unhappy state of af.
fairs existing in the whole section since
the proclamation is sufficient evidence
that the thing is a blunder all through
of the worst sort, and Alderman proves
himself fit agent of the head blunder.

none of the persons arrested, now num-
bering hundreds, are allowed to see or

That President Grant willingly lent
himself to the deception said to have
been practiced on him by carpet-bag-
,ers and radical Office holders Of South
carolina, who desire to remain. infnitio,
s proved by the fact that he shows no
disposition to rectify either the COM
,aratively small blunders or the great

las been sometimes mistaken for firm
less, becomes mulish stubbornness in a

A FRAGMENT.

Oh give me back the sunny smile
OF childhoods happy days,
Ere my unwearied feet had learned
To tread life's wildering maze.
Yes give me back that smile of JOY.
That sinless smile without alloy.
And once again, oh give me back
My happy, careless heart;
A heart which never had been pierced
BY sins anvenomed dart;
A heart untained. free from sin,
And sweet untroubled peace within.
'Tis vain such wishes all are vain
Those days can come no more F!
They have passed adown times rolling wave
To dark oblivion's shore.
Though past in memory still they dwell.
And cheer me with their magic spell
Those days SO sweet can ne'er again
Illume with radience bright,
The heart which once has SORROW known
Can never more be light
No; life q bright morning sun has passed,
And DER M brow o shade has cast
