BEAR in mind that any one may
tarnish the reputation of an individual

suspicion which hisenemies will believe

Dor long and hard TO undo-the floating

A rose that had just been washed In shower,

But the others looked sober aud grave"

The present in purity drowned,
But thoughtlossly giving 1t hasty twir.

regretted the deed for twas a beautiful flower
II seemed so fresh and so gay,
IL had not even been open an hour
And now IL must wither away.

heart,
Which is buoyant, and pure and gay,
When pierced by scandal, Chat vcnomcd dart }
Like tho rose, IL soon fades away.

Startling Revelations.

Tho Washington correspondent of the savan-
nah Republican furnishes facts which should
awake the whole country from its slumbers. Mil
lions of the public revenue, collected out of the
hard earnings of the people, has disappeared and
no effort is made by the Government to hold the
theieves responsible; that the Secretary of the
Treasury persistently refuses to respond to IN
inquiry of Congress for information, shows to
what IN alarming stage of corruption the Gov
ernment has attained under the present adminis-
tration. These robberies ore bad enough in them
selves, but when the Vice-P President of the United
States and the Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee of the Senate talk about "natural ahsorp-
ton in passing from hand to hand" the insult to
the people becomes insuffcrable. No doubt it is
very natural" for these officials to absorb. but
instead of accepting the explanation as satsflcto-
ry, the people view tho operation as simply una
dulterated stealing, and they will insist that
the thieves and their department PROTECTORS ut
Washington bo brought to judgment. "Naural
absorption" indeed If the defence be good,
why may not every rogue plead it?

Negro Impudence.

The Savannah Ne,os says that q few days ago
the conductor on the Central Railroad train, on
taking charge at Millen, discovered negro woman
and her two children in the ladies' car. he i'm
mediately informed her that she could not rido
where shc was, but must take seat in a first
class car especially provided for colOred people.
She replied that she had ridden from Washington
ID. C) in the ladies' car, and that she held first
class ticket and would ride where she was. Though
politely informed that it was contrary to tho rules
of the company, she still refused to move, and
the conductor called in his train hands and had
her removed to another car. She afterwards at
tempted to retnrn to the car, ana ths oonauctof
opposing her, she slapped him in the face. She
was required, however, to ride in her proper place
to Savannah. Nothing shows more clearly the
negroes want of self-respect than their their do
sire to force themselves in place where they are
not wanted Southern railroads are owned by
white men, and they intend to control them.

ss Radical Modesty.n

Under this caption, correspondent of the
Charleston Ne,os, let's fly some hard hits at Scott
and Robertson. The writer says: "Governor
Scott and Senator Robertson are making earnest
appeals to the gentlemen of South Carolina to
use their influence in behalf of peace and order.
The very gentlemen to whom they now SO
pathetically appeal we're actively engaged last
summer to effect this object.
"Where were these tender-hearted officials
then? What aid did General Butler and General
Kershaw receive from Scott and Robertson
Are we to suffer all and bear all, while they enjoy
all?
"Peacc is on excellent thing. But there are
some sorts of peace that are even worse than
war. Is this the peace that Scott and Robertson
would have us enjoy? If they are in earnest, let
them retire and use their influence in having good
men put in their places. No protestations of
friendship should be received from men who only
hope to enjoy TRANQUILITY their ILL Cotton honors
and places"

Sudden Death.

On Saturday last a colored man by the name Of
Green Tillman, better known rs Green Lindsay,
wcs found on the road side about two miles from
the Village, and only short distance from mis-
home, lying in aspeechless and helpless condition.
That night be died. Green was polite and
well-disposed man, and had many friends, both
white and colored. A Coroner's Inquest should
have been held, and some efforts taken to account
for the sudden and mysterious death of this man.
There arc runners rife in the community that the
deceased came to his death from poison. Whose
business is it to look into this matter? 1t is not
700 late even now to have post mortem exami-
nation mnde.

Sc Not forJoe.,,

The Columbia correspondent of the New York
Sun says: The other night, while the Governor
was receiving the "peace delegation" Joseph
deliberately walked into the Executive chambe
and took seat on the sofa by the side Of General
Kershaw. The latter rose in a dignifed manner,
and said, Governor, will not sit in the same
room with Mr.. Crews. Either lie or must retire"
Joseph gathered himself up and sloped. And
now he feels bitter toward the Governor for having
talked with the Odd rebels" and he swears
that Scott is getting ready to join the "rebel cru
sadc" against the Republican party. Poor Joe
doesn't see that the world moves on, and that a
time is coming when intelligence, education and
honesty must again find expression within the
granite walls of South Carolina's Capitol.

ness of arraying them against the white man, so
persisten.ly done by the Radicals for party pur-
poses. The whites know this, and dcplorc the
necessity of meeting foroe with force, for having
been raised with them and being accustomed to

kindcst feelings for the negroes, whom they now
see driven hither and thither to serve political

must and will protect themselves, their wives,

this Meridian, to the bitter end"

Sc With Groanings That Cannot be Ut
tered.,,

The iniquitous taxation under which the people
of South Carolina Low labor, is subject not to
be exhausted. OF course we all return to it from
time to time, with groanings thatcannot beuttered
We give practical illustration of the workings
of this taxation. There is family in this town
that until very recently, owned house and lot
in Charleston. The aggregate rent for this house
since the conclusion of the war, has amounted to
$500, of which the parties in interest have re-
ceived 500. Insurance and q few needed repairs
have taken part of this money, but considera-
bly, more than half has been swallowed up by
the tax. This property, belonging to an undi-
vided estate, was sold the other day for $780, the
tax cost upon selling it amounting to $3.50 or
more. Under the old mode of legal procedure
it would have amounted to less than $l00. 1t is
unnecessary to add that the said property was
bought by high State official, negro. Who in
South Carolina, nowadays, has money, except
Radical ofice.holders
