a9r The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, under
the heading of Grand Collapse of South
Carolina Carpet -Baggismin Wall street, y
says: at will be seen by the morning
dispatches that the carpet-bag plumber
crs of South Carolina are in New York
endeavoring to cover up their tracks and
secure their plumber. According to the
World, who has looked into the matter,
over twenty millions Of State bonds have
been printed and fraudulently issued
for the negotiation Of which the Finan-
cial Agent holds claims against the State
to the amount of Si,OoO,OOO. Scott issues
a manifesto claiming that nine millions
of these bonds have never been signed
or issued; but who can believe word of
what he says? We fear the old State is
gone up at last-a victim alike to Radical
fraud and tyranny. The best we can
hope for is, that the money loss will fall
OH the Radicals who back such whole
sale swindling with Government bayo-
nets. Surely the devH of fraud and vii
lainy has broke loose, and is ragingopcn-
mouthed all over the country"

Twas milking TINT, and the cows came
From the meadows sweet with clover,
And stood in the lnne, while pretty Jane.
Had quiet chat with the drover-
Such quiet chat tint it scarcely seemed
That single word was spoken;
While magicspeH with the night dews
And the rythm Of song was unbroken
The cattle stood at the lovers side,
Without any show Of vcXation,
AS though impressed that Il five bar rest
Was a part Of their rest oration.
And as Jane listened to the notes that

Right under the bars and over,
Her heart took wing, the silly thing,
And nestled up close to the drover.
She heard him lsaythis home was poor,
That he'd nothing but love to give
her; .a,i
And she smiled content, as though
Love had spent
Every arrow he had in his culver;
She smiled content, when the evening
With voices of bids are ringing,
And her lips confessed that 4 lowly nest
Should never prevent her singing.
So over the bars the lovers lean,
In the Joy of their sweet communion !;
And their looks declare that poverty
ne'er
Shall be bar to their union;

The Ku-Klux business in South Caro-

shirtless rascals who have passed from
their proper place, the gutter, to the bench
by the aid of negro votes; loyal vii
iainy is permitted to run riot unchecked,
and if there is aught to be wondered at it
is that the number Of outrages is not ten
fold greater than it is. We go against
the violences attributed to the KuKlux
Ms strongly as the Journal or any of the
RADICAL papers, but where "loyalty"
Shields every crimo and "disloyalty"
amounts merely to an opposition to Re-

law within their reach-the law OF self
defence. If the Government is really
sincere in its professed wishes to re es-
tablish permanent prosperity and peace

Cheap BHilding.

AS matter of interest to a considerable
number of our readers, we publish the fol-
lowing:
They have an association of working
men in Boston which is well worth
initiating everywhere. Its object is to Sc
cure for its members cheap houses by a
sort of cooperative plan. Mr.. Josiah
Quincy, who is at the head of the associa-
ton, says they propose to build fifty
houses of better class, which, if erected
singly, would cost 81, 900 each, or 100000.
Assuming that there would be discount
of twenty-five per cent, as L am assured
by builders would be the case, if contracted
for together the cost would be SO, 900. OF
this each member pays down 5000, or S1O,-
900 in the aggregate, reducing the amount
required on mortgages to S65,0 900, or about
twe-thirds of the value of the houses If
erected singly, assuming that the money
is obtained at seven per cent. interest, and
that interest is received on the deposits
This is briefly Mr.. Quincy's plan. AT the
end of seven years-the owners meanwhile
paying at the rate of $3.50 per year rent
the entire Indebtedness would be cleared
off and surplus left to the credit of the as
ISOLATION of S13, 267.

RENDERING WALLS WATER-TIGHT.-
1t is proposed by Mr.. +. Ransome, of Lon
don, to render stone and brick walls wa
ter-proof by coating them to saturation
with a solution of silicate OF soda, which is
specifically decomposed by the further
application of chloride of calcium. The
surface thus obtained consists of silicate OF
lime, which is perfectly insoluble, while it
does not alter the appearance of the wall.
