AFORGETTrI rREACHER-

A good story is told of a patriotic domi-
ME up in Berkshire, Mass, who in the war
times of 1872 was prone to preach Demo-
cratic politics, and thank the Lord ve,y
specially, as well as very fervidly, for any
favOrs shown to our arms. One Saturday
night neighbor received a packet of news
papers relating to one of our famous naval
victories, and, being familiar with the par
sons pesuliarity, dispatched them to him.
1t was great victory, and the GOOD man
rose to his prayer trembling with excite
ment-all the more that the subject matter
would be news TO most of his hearers. ave
desire to thank Thee" he began, t.for the
great victory that our frigate, the-the-Tve
forgotten the name, but no matter-our
frisate has gained over the enemy's ship Of
war, the-the-I've forgotten that name
too-but Thou knOwest, for it is i'm all the

1t is not unlikely in the approaching Cabi-
net meeting that South Carolina will be re-
lieved from the operation ofthe President s
recent proclamation, or that the arrested
Ku-Klux will be turned over to the civil
government for immediate trial. Mr.. Aker-
man is of the opinion that the proclamation
has proved of great benefit. 1t has broken
up all the organized bands of Ku-Klux,
whose members have, been either arrested
or have fled the country.

There are many such, and it would be

Not OF the jobbing, frolioking order of
warriors who, for want of profitable oc-
cnpatlon, or in search of mere excite
ment, drew their swords; but earnest,
perhaps tanatical men, who did duty, as
duty, and obeyed the dictates of exalted
aud, perhaps, morbid conscientiousness.
Such men, as general rule, so far as
there ls testimony on the subject, settling
IN the South since the war, have made
themselves Welcome. and there is no in
stance of their being the objects Of the
least unkindness. In return, they are
the men who, 80 far as they are allowed
to take part in public affairs, by the
crowd OF adventurers who jostle them in
every avenue to Office, net with the De-
moorata, and understand that the success
OF the Conservative party is the only
means OF their own material prosperity.
The Taxpayers Convention which some
time ago met in South Carolina had q
large infusion of this immigrant ele-
ment. and it spoke the voice Of the sub
stance. such as it is, and the industrial
resources of the community. Let US,
then. in our definition of ''carpet-bng-
dom" discriminate.
