The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1871-09-21

UNDER date of the 9Th instant the
leading Radical paper in South Caro-
lima, the Charleston Republican, gives
up the ghost. For some time it has
failed to receive subsidy from the re-
constructed State government, and
now that the late Democratic victory
in Charleston has cut off the city
printing there is nothing for it but to
die. In its last issue it bears this tes-
timony to the character of the recon-
structed State government:
It is no secret to any one who has
been inside Republican politics that
this paper has not been favorite with
our administration during the past
year or more. One man says it is be-
cause we are too decent; another that
we are not radical enough, &C., SC. /;
but the real secret of the dislike is
that we have refused to be the medi-
um for gratifying the petty spite and
personal hatred of individuals, or the
ready tool of those who would use
the State government for the purpose
solely of advancing their own pecu-
MARY and political Interests
1t is an interesting revelation that
even in SO apparently hopeless State
as South Carolina, there should be a
Republican split.

Here is the total of 79. 81, $40 acres,
which with the above $1,000, 600 acres,
makes grand total of nearly I65, 600, :
600 acres, more than seven times the
area of the entire Stateof Pennsylya-
mia. This truly, is swindle worth
talking about. It taffects the people of
the whole country. The public lands
should be kept for the poor man-for
the actual settler and pioneer. The
radical robbers however, could not
resist the temptation to gobble them
up for the benefit of the! ring. But
this forms only one chapter of the op-
erations of the thieving gang in Con-
gress and in the various departments
of the government. ft4 -.

A little fve-year old was being instrue-

old lady told him that all such terms as

she said he could tell a profane oath by

Ii was pig-sty with the maternal pig
and her little ones, just as Annie remem.
bered them in old Jornny's sty in her
babyhood. Great was Annies pleasure
IN showing it, but still greater was old
Jehnny's pleasure in beholding it. To-
gether they picked out the very individu.
al little pig that Annie had held in her
arms. and which Johnny said she had
kissed. 1t seemed as if the old man
could never leave it and from that time
the actual pig seemed lost in the ideal
one and all their memories of his early
loveliness became enlarged and glorifed.

4 Historical Ballad.
II. NJ. p.


There lived In oldsn time, It's said.
A knight of great renown;
Full many were his gallant deeds
His namo was Sir John Brown.
A blacksmith made his fighting suit,
His weapons neer wore dull;
lie wore hollow iron pct
Upon hollow skull.
And always when another knight
lie chanced to meet by day,
lie sought row" and never seemed
Afraid Of an aiIray
lie often said he'd never met
His equal as a knight;
And so he ne'er could fight his like.
Although he liked to fight.
'Tis told that once this knight set ir,u
To seek adventure strange,
For though he did not care for cush
lie ofton wi shed for change.
He somewhere had lady love
Who ruled his stormy heart,
On her he called for his commando
Before he took his start.
She only wished from him pet.
Which ho swore he'd bestow.
And as she was a little dear,
IIo promised her doe.
lie had a neighbor somewhere near.
baron brave and rich,
Whose castle stood upon a rock
Surrounded by ditch.
To him, therefore, Sir Johu went strnisht,
And ordered loud and clear
That he should from his castle come
And battle for his deer.
To whom the angry lord replied:
Your errand we'll | know,
If you expect doe I've bred,
You'll and your bread is dough
"Besidcs, you see. 1t will be best
For you to clearly feel,
That If you'vo come to steal my meat
You'll have to moot my steel'
Sir Johu then answor quickly nado
"What need of further words'
If you will only GROSS your ditch,
We both will cross our swords.
"For though hold yourself quite e.eep.
Your animals are deer,
So il you wish to see feat,
Just show your feet down here"
And 50 from words they came 10 slows.
And all the stories say,
Their fight was long, for when twas done.
Two knights had passed away.
Thus through woman's idle wish,
Upon that mournful day,
Were these two gallant perfect bricks
Converted into clay

The Census in Canada.

In Canada, as in the United States. census
is taken once in ten yesrs, and that Tor Io'l
b,, INST been published. Oar Canadian neigh
bors have little reason to be pleased with the
result. They had confidently counted on an in
crease of l 200, 900 in their population, but the
;ne,orable returns show that it is really but one
third that amount The census for 1861 IN the
rrovinoes Of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick
and Nova Scotia. shows total population OF

estimate by the Canadians was 1, 2SS, l0S. This

csDsps for 1871 in the United States. In view
If This exhibit it would be vel enough for our
friends sero,s the line to ask themselves if

The increase in the last ten years Is least in pro

readily believe th.titis in grestmeasure owingto
steady emigration from that part Of Canada to

GEORGIA is shout to make up very iet'y

their wits upon. The Governor having resigned
and there being no Lieutenant Governor in Office
the President of the Senate has taken upon
himself gubernst,rial powers. But as his term

raised whether. when he ceases to be Senator,
he can continue to be acting Governor by reason
Of his former Presidency Of the Senate lie

comes acting Governor for the full unexpired
term Of the Governor who has resigned. TN

Senatorial term expires, his gubernaiorlal pow

Office must cease also At this point OF the
discussion most people would pronounce the
di.pute q" a very pretty quarre. as it stands. ~
Bat the Georgians appear determined to involve
the Question to the utuost limit Of legal posi-
bHitv. The legislature passed bill ordering a
new election for Governor, which the seuns-
Governor vetoed, on the or und that he is him
selfm,de Governor by the Constitution. The
bill hss been passed over his veto, however, and
the election will be held, when the question
must at once come up whether the acting Gov
ernor or the Governor elect is the constitutional
executive But lest some possible comp ica'ion
should he avoided BY accident, the legislature m
serted clause in its bill directing that the
newly elected Governor shall be inaugurAted on
[ the day following his election. Now i, Is almost
