A DINNER AND A KISS,

As che took from her arm the kettle,

''There is not any pie or pudding,
So will give you this 90

The blacksmith took Oh his apron.

Wondering much At the SAVIOR

While all about him were VisionS

But he neV er thought of the magic
In hiS little daug LteT's kiss.
And she, with her kettle Swinging,

at camp meeting in Iowa last week that he
had been married twenty-five years, aud dur
ing all that timo he had never given his wife
q cross look or an uUkind word This man
should base been an angel long ago; he is
altogether too aniable for this world. His is
an amiabili'y, however, that may not be en-
tirely desirable. He would be cIassed by
most people among the wooden men. He
would kill any high spirited woman in three
weeks by his internal cquanimity. lie is as
Interchangeable as 4 bass wood tree, as imper-
turbable as mul-taTtle. a house might tall
down on him and it wouldn't bring an eiacu-
latiOn from him. lis wife might run away
with three men at one time, and tie would con.
tIOl himself 50 as to say nothing whatever
about it. Such men as he make domestic
peace an intO!erable burden, and are altogether
too sanity for flesh aud blood wives

record-aud that record cannot be
obliterated. It is engraved deep upon
the face of the public affairs ofthe State
since 1868, aud that engraving must
remain in full view, to condemn and
displace those by whose corrupt hands
it's liueamenss ard more distinctive fea'
lures we're traced.
Two years more ofthe present politl'
cal life of South Carolina, will bring
bankruptcy and ruin to the State. Many
of the better class of citizens are leav-
ing, hopeless of the future. But
changes-great chapges-nust and will
come. Matters cannot coatipue as at
present; and in order tc this, there
must be change of the men-of the
class of men-in the maia--who ELL the
official places Of the State. This, many
of the hitherto republican leaders them
selves now admit, whilst their press is
beginning to be clamorous for it.
May it be the will of the Great and
Good God to youchsafe unto Our OPP
pressed and unfortunate State the
speedy coming of a better day, and the
restoration to us of good and honest
government.

THE GREEMvILLE RAIL ROAD
SWlNDLE

Passed the House Of Representatives
on Tuesday last. Ifit passes the Sen
ate and becomes operative it is said that
it will rob the State to the tune of two
millions of dollars. Money was used
freely to secure its passage in the
.House-as high as $500 being paid for
a single vote. The scene attending its
passage vas one of extreme turbulence
-approximating riot and blood shed.
The ayes and noes were called forty one
times and nine hours we're employed in
putting it through. 1t is thought that
more difficulty will be experienced in
putting it through the Senate. Should
it pass that body, Gov. SCOTT, if we
have been informed correctly, stands
pledged to veto it, and to put every
obstruction within his official power in
the way Of its becoming operative,
should it be passed over his veto. 1t
is to be hoped that he will stand firm,
and do his duty in the matter fearlessly
For such a course he will receive the
supper: of all the better part Of the
State.

THE MILITIA AND THE KU KLUx.

1t has been wisely determined, on all
sides, that it wont do to send the colorcd
militia against the Ku Klux. The
Columbia Union, (Republican) charged
by "Brutus," in the Charleston -Nc~s,
with advising to the contrary, says ::
ave have protested against that very
" course, and have always regarded it as
" simply suicidal policy to pursue to-
"w wards the colored people, 10 send the
"militia to contend against the Ku-
" Klux. We believe with the Union.
"vile Times, that the Ku KIux are too
well organized Tor any militia to con-
q" tend against them, and have so said
before,"
The Union speaks truthfully and we'll
on this subject. The colored militia,
thus employed, would be but used as
food for powder and ball, and for the
inauguration Of the war Of races Of which
so much apprehension has been e1-
pressed. In plain English, it would be
br: sending them to be butchered, by
scores aud hundreds.
The United States troops to be sent to
the up country to preserve the peace and
aid in the enforcement of the civil law,
will command the respect Of all classes
The officers of the United States army,
in the main, are men of respectabiiity
aud education, conservative in their
political feeliugs,aud in no wise partizan,

THE COTTON PROSPECT.

Under existing circumstances, it can
but be suicida. for the planters to at
tempt to make as much cotton as they
did last year, when it is done in any
degree at the expense of the corn and
provision crop The cotton statement,
and all the information We have on the
subject, uumistakably points to the idea
that no better prices may be expected
for any part of the last crop. Sales in
New York as far ahead as July, show
no advance in price. And iu fact. prices
can only be advanced by Information
reliable that the crop Of the present year
WILL be smaller than that of last year
For planter then to make cotton the
present year, at the expense of anything
less thaa suficieucy of corn for his
own purposes, must result disadvauta-
geously as an equal crop Of cotton with
that Of las; year must throw prices still
lower, aud to buy corn from the proceeds
Of cotton sales at prices less than those
of the present season could but be uu-
fortunate, and produce still greater
stringency in money and general de
preston upon the country.
The cotton crop Of last year, it is now
estimated, will not fall far short Of four
millions Of bales, al approximation to
the largest crop made previous to the
war. With a cotton crop equal to that Of
last year, planters must make their
calculations for eight or ten cents per
pound. With this and corn and bacon
to buy, the situation may be readily
appreheuded.
If the planter cannot make cotton
proftably at the prices which have ruled
for the last crop-if these prices leave
no sufficient and easy margin for the
purchase of corn and bacon, the Difficult
ties Of the situation must be Increased
from the experience to which we allude.
And it will not do for every man to
suppose that the area Of cotton to be
planted will be less, land this is the time
for him to plant largely Of it that he
may "seize the opportunity" to realize
remuuerative pro6.s. Let him be sure
that he has las o,cn bread growing, and
his opa meat raising, and he is then
comparatively Independent, let things
50 as they may.

WOPFORD COLLEGE.

The pledges made at the late session
of the South Carolina Conference, in
regard to Wofford College, we hope to
see promptly redeemed throughout
the State. A little extra, determined
effort, will relieve this pressing and vi
tai difficulty. The people will respond
to this great interest, if it be fairly and
earnestly presented to them, by the
preachers, backed and sustained by the
official membership of the Church.
We hope there will be no holding back
and waiting until the close of the year,
to look after this matter. The special
Agent for Woford College is in the
field, we are pleased to see, and is
meeting with some success. We COM
mend him heartily. Through this
agency, it is proposed to secure sufh-
cient endowment.
Speaking Of this matter, the South
ern Christian Adyocate says: "We are
"glad to learn from Rev. J. W. McRoY,
"that the Agent, Rev. W. P. MouzoN,
"was at bis recent quarterly meeting,
"aud received there subscription Of
Isl 900 from Presbyterian gentleman,
"aud one of SlOO from one not a mem
"ber Of any church"
Let the good work 60 on; Woford,
although uuder the auspices of the
Methodist Church, is in no sense a sec.
tartan College. The Bible is incor-
pcrated in the curriculum, as sacred
history, and morality and religion, in
their sublime general principles, are
taught an. iDculcated, but each student
is left untrammcled and uuinauepced,
by ary special teaching of particular
denominational faith.

The National House of Representatives
has passed, bya large majority, what ID
known as the Enforcepent @BilL, and
Senators have given notice that it shall
pass their body however great the effort
necessary to get it through. It is
nothing more or less than: a scheme 10
carry the next Presidential election in
the interest OF the Radical party, by the
power of the United States Government
1t is supposed to be chiefly intended for
the North and West, -NeH York being
prominent in the application Of the
designed force. The South, it is thought,
in the main, will be .hopelessiy against
me party, ana if the North and West
can be carried, authority IN tero'em, can
be welded over the former, and general
sway in this way be maintained. ,,.a,
We may almost say, We nope tnis 10
the programme, as far as the North and
West is concerned. 1t is about time
for those sections to take their turn in
feeling the heel of,be desrot. This, if
anything, will arouse them to sense of
the fearful infractions OF the constitu-
tion and incursiops upon the liberties OF
the people, which are being perpetrased
by the party in power. 1t is the last
resort, to retain power at the cost Of
liberty and the constitution Of our
fathers. 1t will either bring an up
rising of the masses, that will hurl the
usurpers from power, or resultin a tacis
acquieseence which will strengthen their
grasp and constitute decided step To-
wards complete change Of the form OF
American Government.
