followed him leisurely and found
him with Willie in his arms, pressed
close to his breast, laughing and
crying at the same time and fright
ening the child nearly to death
Mrs. Morrison wasn't in the room,
she had gone out with DR.. John
son, the chambermaid said. A
thrill of apprehension ran over me,
'Do you know where they wentY''
I asked.
But she couldn't tell me anything
except that the gentleman had said
something about Squire Jecko's.
That was enough. I rushed
down stairs and through the streets,
dragging Morrison and Willie with
me, and didn't stop to see whether
people stared or not. just as we
reached the door Of Justice Jecko's
Office johnson and Mrs. Morrison
came out and my heart sank within
me. Willie caught q glimpse of
them and cried out shrilly, "Mam-
ma! mammal"
She started and turned, and Nor
rison started forward with the child
in his arms, but before he could
reach her she had fallen prone upon
the pavement. But she came too
quickly, and the greetings between
husband and wife were silent but
affecting. A little later she return
ed to the hotel leaning upon Morri-
sons arm, a proud and happy wo-
man. My fears were unfounded; (;
she had refused to marry johnson,
even after he had decoyed her to
the Office of Justice Jecko.
AS to the mutual explanations
that followed this happy reunion, I
have little to say. Morrison was
thunderstruck at the treachery of
johnson, in whom he had placed
such implicit confidence as to send
him several large sums of money for
the use of Lucy and the child, and
he couldn't help mistrusting that
their correspondence had been in
tercepted, for neither husband nor
wife had received a single one of all
the letters they had written to each
other. But he might have been
mistaken, for we all know what the
mail facilities are in the mountains
I never saw johnson again, but I
heard afterwards that he married
Miss White, the clairvoyant.

and their lives sank into an ordina-

WHEN THERE WILL BE PEACE AT THE
SOUTH.
From the N. Y. Times.

From the ~ Y. Times.
The policy urged with reference to the
States lately in rebellion by the Democratic
party is that of laissez fare. 'Let them
alone" say they, ''and they will work out
their own reformation" The line of argu-
ment pursued is that sufficient time has not
elapsed since the close of the war to con-
vince the South that it needs Northern capi-
tai, energy, and performance for the purpose
of developing its resources and increasing
its wealth. The South is in crest need of
many things which the North alone can sup
ply, and eventually it will not be blind to the
advantages of Northern emigration, and a
mingling of the people will bring a peaceful
solution of the question that has so loag
vexed the nation.
The argument does not go far enough
Provision is made for Northern capital, en-
ergy, and perseverance,, but none for North
ern opinion. Capital, energy, and perseve-
rance are wanted, bat not opinions. ''We
will receive all that the North offers, say the
South, (which will enable us to cover our
position previous to the Rebellion-to in
crease our wealth and develop our country,
and in return the Northern capitalist and
emigrant must receive cur political opinions,
and aid us politically as we'll as financially"
The political character of the South is one
OF intense intolerance. 1t was 80 before the
war, and at the close Of it the leaven of
secession renamed. lnaJ IL now IeaVenS the
whole lump is due to the sympathy of the
Democratic party. This party, which en-
couraged the Rebellion, now encourages the
acts Of violence which are, of daily commits
sion in most os the late rebellious States.
The Democratic party is almost as much to
blame as the perpetrators of the eutrages. 1t
is due to its sympathy that the South is net
at peace.
The apologists for the Rebels of the South
denounce all laws passed for the preservation
of rights, property, and life as persecution,
and say that so long as this course is pursued
the country will not have peace. If the laws
passed by Congress for preserving the rights
and lives of peaceful and law abiding citizens,
are proscriptive, what are the whippings>
mutilations, shootings, drownings, and hang
ings of innocent persons, whose only crime
is their attachment to the Union In urging
that the South be let alone, the sympathizers
with lawlessness make use of the same argu-
ment advanced by the Eebels during the
war. Let us alone, said they, and there will
be peace. Peace then meant disruption. Of
the Union; does il mean anything much diff
ferent now? In the loyal States opinions on
all questions are freely and fearlessly ex-
pressed. When the same is true of the ex-
insurgent States, the whole country will be at
peace. All arguments based on laws of trade
are fallacious, SO long as the intolerance of
one section renders true union impossible.
The people of the States lately in rebellion
are merely invited to an equal participation
in the Government. That they do not enjoy
this privilege is the result of their own
a ctions
