VALENTINEs-The editor of the Woonsocket
Patriot has the following: We can family re-
member 1--WE are gray-beards now some of the
couplets and stanZas that were popular five-and-
thirty years ago. Our memory recalls the fol-
lowing, which still stirs our stagnant blood and
brings back the face long ago forgotten or re-
turned to original dust:
with all my soul, love, I'll be thine,
If thou wilt be my valentine"
We sent that 10 the handsomest girl in Skaters
vile, about A. d. 1884, but the fickle-minded
witch married butcher Ia fellow who delighted
in sticking pigs and calves, and left us wholly
disconsolate. The next valentine we sent b. the
great United States mail TO young Quakeress,
in Uxbridge, Mass, A. D. 1886, and it read as
follows:
Time may crease thy brow with care
| and bleach thy locks of auburn hair;
| let naught can change this heart of mine,
II tnou will be my valentine"
Alasl time did "bleach her auburn locks" wears

We concur in the opinion that al

those occasions. The country is hast

tools, by the result of the campaign

where thousands of dollars, paid by
people in taxes have been stolen or

imposed in them, and who should have

are of public Importance. Would it
not be advisable for the Grand Jury

Garpet-Bag Scoundrelism.

For months the developments of
raseality in the management of the
reconstructed governments of several
Southern States have been growing
more and more conclusive. No in
telligept man longer doubts that those
governments have been flagrantly ex-
pensiye and corrupt--that they have
increased taxation, incurred debt, and
issued bonds TO an enormous extent.
The facts are In part concealed or OBJ
scured, but can not long remain so;
enough Is already known to Justify
the very gravest ap~prehensions. In
the two Carolinas, especially, the rob-
berries appear to have been quite as
gigantic, when the relative wealth of
the respective communities is consid.
cred. as in this city. Yet men whom
we have esteemed honest talk as

A New Situation.

The negro question is assuming q
new feature. 1t is now alleged that
there is a society formed in the
South to send negro criminals and ne
gro despersdoes to the North, that the
South may not be pestered by them in
the future! Some of the Republican
papers are becoming excited over this
new trick of the Ku-Klux to give the
North a taste of the blessings of negro
equality. We cannot deny or vouch
for the truth of this new m but
if allowed to express an opinion, We
think the Republicans should be re-
quired to take care of their pet lambs.
The Ku-Klux ofIndiana have destroy.
ed three of their pets. for the innocent
amusement Of chopping to pisces, the
Park familyi General Grant shouiu
send his investigating committees al
once and if the story be true, put the
Hoosier State under the tender care
ofhis military Satraps that the wanto1
insult to the negro race may be fully
avenged. Keep the "nigger ques
tom brewing by all means. It's the
richest mine the Grant party ear

the criminals, if it would vindicate
itself from all completely in their
crimes. We have received communi.
cations from leading Republicans in
Texas insisting that we have regarded
their legislation and rule with greater
disfavor than the facts will warrant.
To this We answer that the people of
Texas seem to take the same view OF
the matter hat we do. Two years
ago They elected a Republican Gov
erner, Legislature, and three out Of
four, Congressman; now, they have
chosen Democrats to Congress from
all four districts by an aggregate ma
jority of at least ten Thousand. Yet
there are far more Republican jour
nails printed in the State to-day than
there were two years ago, with all the
Federal and State patronage in the
hands of the party which has just
been SO signaily defeated. While in
Texas last May, we could not fail to
see that the old Texans who stood fire
for the Union and organized the Re
publican party-Governor Hamilton,
Governor Pease, Judge Hancock,
Judge Sabine, etc.-were out in the
coldI while the Republican machine
was in the hands of younger and less
eminent politicians, mainly new to
the State, and enjoying no considera-
ton outside of the ranks of their fol-
lowers. Had the legislation of the
last two years commanded public con-
fidence, and had Republicans who
were more favorably known to the
whole people, irrespective of politics,
been nominated, we believe the State
would have rome as strongly Republi-
can in 1871 as it did in 1859. The
State Constitution framed in 1869 by
Republicans, plainly provides for the
election of a Legislature every second
year. The present Legislature, chosen
two years ago, has held at least two
long sessions, and is now holding a
third. 1t ought TO have provided for
the chsice of its successor at the re-
cent election I; it did just the opposite
to this-it put Off that election to a
future day. "The fact is, we are not
prepared for an election" said a lead
ing manager of the ruling clique last
May. % LneTo VIII nave W DS Spc-
cial election, or this moribund Legis-
lature must hold over for another
year. But why not prepared ?'-
1.-THE wicked flee when no man pur-
sueth, but the righteous are as bold as
%Iions,'' says the sacred proverb. Don't
you believe that the inspired penman
had Bullock, of Georgia, in his eye
when he made that observation? And
he didn't class him under the head of
''the righteous" either. Here is Clay
ton, of Arkansas, charged by his neigh
Dor with crimes that, if proved, should
send him to the State Prison instead
of the Senate. Now, we don't know
that the charges against him are true;
though the people of Little Rock
seem to believe them, if we may judge
from the result of their recent cleo
ton. But, if they T true If Clay
ton counted out and counted in legis-
lators, and even Congressman, to Sc
cure his own election to the Senate
then he ought to be hurled from his
seat before the close of next January.
