FAIRY TREASURES.

JOY To him who fairly treasures
With a fairy's eye can see:
Woe "a him who counts ana measures
What the worth In coin may bc.
Gems from withcrcd leaves we fashion
For the spirit free from stain:
Grasp them with Il Snrdil passion,
And they turn iO leaves again.
Fairy treasures are not rated
By their value i'm the mart:
Deep ia secret earth created,
For the Golfers OF the heart.
Dost thou covci fairy mpnryS
Kiiic but the blossom bells
Like the Wild bUe. shape the honey
Into golden cloi-tpr-cCllS.
Wrctched mortal. once invited,
Fairy land was thine az viii;
Every .litfir star had lighted
RCNcls when the world was still
Every bank gate had granted
Tu the tppaZ-paNcu halls:
Every wave had rolled enchanted
From our cry~tal-Etlls.
Now the spell T. lost forever,
And the common earth is thine;
Count the traffic on the river,
Weigh the iugots in the miuc.
Look around. anout au1 under,
With an eye upon the cost,
Gone thc happy world Of wonder;

IaDuGEATIoS-The total number
Of immigrants arriving in the United
States during the year 1870, with the
exception of a few small ports, was
$50, ,l69. The immigration for 1869
amounted to 3S5, PSI, showing a de-
crease this year of 81, lis. Had it
not been for the war in Europe. the
increase in 1870 over the immigra-
tion in 1869 would doubtless have
been fully rs great rs was the falling
off, so that the war has probably de-
priyed the United States of at least
0,OOO new arrivals.

Yesterdays Election.


The vote yesterday on the ptolOScu
amendment TO the State Constitution was
the highest ever cast in this city In the
seven civ townships from which We have
returns only dsJvotes wcrccastHll told
less than one.tenth Ofthe fullvote Of those
townships. There was an utter absence
of interest; and those who voted did so,
we presume, as a matter Of abstract duty.
We can only regret that so many ielt no
sense of duty as citizens in connection
with the matter submitted to them,
While the indifference shown is to be
regretted asa not very healthy Indication,
il is not by any means unaccOuntabIe
The questions involved in q vote were
purely impcrsonal and abstract. 1t has
been often demonstrated TINT no election
which does not involve money or person
al success, or both, will excite more than
n limited interest. Neither money nor per-
sonal interests entered into this election.
Then again 1t was a popularity of the
proposed Amendment that it contained
features lispleasing to very large num-
Der Of both parties. 1t required an I'M
pleasant concession from each. The
Democrat was required to concede negro
suffrage, and the Republican cx-rcbel
suffrage. A very large proportion Of
each party felt reluctant to make these
respective concessions, and this reluctance
helped very much to make them inditfer.

A Southern View Of the DemOcr atiC

The Charleston NeIrS, one Of tho worst
firo.eaters in tho South, concludes a com.
nentary on the Democratic address us
follows:
ut is our duty 10 obey the laws, 10
recognize the political privileges conferred
upon the freedmen by the State and Fed
Gral Constitutions, aud above all to give
no excuse for the declaration that Con-
servatism and Democracy are other words
Tor riot and revolution. Governor Scott
told the truth when he said Ku.Klux out.
RACES only unite the radical party; and
the address OF the Democratic Congress
men points ont the imperative necessity
OF relralning from playing into the hands
Of our advcrsaries. This State Is potent
for harm. The South Carolina cOnScr-
natives connot insure the success Of the
Democratic party in the Presidential
elections, but they can so far to make Ger.
tain its defeat. Hu.Klux Outrages here
mean radical majOritleS in the North.
We must possess our souls in patience.
We must bear our ills in silence, rcmGm-
herring always that this people stand
pledged to maintain the lawful privileges
Ut all races OF men, and that besides
every rash act, every violation Of law for
political reasons, is deierring tho dawn Of
the blessed day which shall see the white
man and black man throughout the land
secure in the enjoyment OI true freedom,

Russian Competitor With American
Grain RaiSerS.

The Chicago Tribune publishes an OK.
tract from private letter, written by a
citizen of that city now in Europe, with
regard to the progress Russia is making to
monOpolize thowhGat market of England.
The writer says:
NJ will venture to say that in less than
fifteen years Russia will be prepared to
furnish all the grain wanted on this side
OF the Atlantic. So, if we call ourselves
EN- agricultural people, we must import
the consumers for our surplus or not pro.
duce it. 1t may be all very nice for our
farmers to buy cheap calico and other ar-
tiCles of no importance; but when they
come to compete with Russia, at twenty
cents day for labor III producing wheat,
they will find u home market moro to
their advantage. All Russia wants is
transportation, and she is constructing
railroads very rOpidly-1OOO miles the
present year, ard they expect to increase
that amount this year They IRE the
only nation on this side who take pride in
initiating the Americans. A Russian gen
tlcman will say to you: This is the way
you do things in America, and we intend
to do SO also, ut the earliest possible mo.

The Scope and Effect of the Ku.KIux
Bill.
Wnsh Cnr n. I. Times.

Wash. Cor. n. y. Times.
Some statements are being made which
rive lhc inference that the Ku-&luX law
Recently enacted will remain adeadlette
on the statute books, unless the President
takes active and initi0tory steps toward
its enforcement. SaCh in idea is based
on misapprclension Of the terms of the
law; nevertheless, it no doubt prevails en-
tensively, and owes its origin to the out
cry made by the Democratic and some
Republican papers against the Scverest
measures OF the bill, without noting the
milder and ordinary ones. There Is only
one case in which the President can, In
the first INSTANCE, take direct action, and
that is where the Federal revenue officers
are prevented from making their Collec-
tons and assessments by violence. There
are whole counties into which no Federal
revenue officers has gone for months, cx-
ccpt nj the risk OF his life. An attempt TO
murder an Assistant Collector in Florida
has been officially reported since the law
WIS passed. In these cases the President
can, and doubtless will promptly sustain
his officers by the military power, and
against that action or the provision Of
law upon which il will rest no complaint
can be made, nor has been made, even by
the opponents of the bill before its pas.

cd on this particular point Is not made

In all other cases the enforcement of the
law rests with tho Federal Courts and
their offices. Whenever similar outrages

again committed, warrants for the ar
rest, Of the perpetrators, il they can
be found out. will issue from the
Courts and If they arc caught, they
will be indicted and locked up without
bail for trial OF the next term. II is only
when this ordinary judicial process Is pre-
vented by resistance to arrest, attempts to
rescue from Jail and the like, that the Ex-
ecutivc viii interfere; but il the Courts
cannot, by reason Of fOrciblc resistance,
arrest and detain the offenders for trial,
then under the law the President can use
the military power TO help make the ar-
rest and prevent q rescue, and, in the 9TH
or ways that may be necessary, to secure
tho punishment OF the guilty parties.
The country may be assured Of IN honest
cndeavor on the part Of those charged
