The Republican caucus last night in Albany
agreed to accord Mr.. Hustled the honor OF
their nomination for the Speakershp. This
nomination has been talked of as Fenton
triumph, but it is, of course, without special
significance. Nor do we see why we should be
cursed by Fenton and Conkling parties this
Winter in the Legislature. The Republican
party is enough for us.

POET RY.
The Poor Mans Sabbath Day.

The merry birds are singing,
And from the fragrant sod
The spirits of a thousand flowers
Go sweetly up to G0d
While in his holy temple
We meet to prais and pray
With cheerful voice and grateful lay.
This Summer Sabbath dayl
We thank Thee Lord for one day
To look heaven in the facet
The Poor have only Sunday;
The swceter is the grace.
'Tis then they make the music
That sings their week away,
Oh, there's sweetness infinite
In the Poor Mans Sabbath Day
IT'S as a burst OF sunshins,
A tender fall of rain,
That set the barest life a-bloom;
Make old hearts young again.
The dry and dus,g roadside
With smiling n .ev-
IT'S open Hcays an day in seven.
The Poor Man Sabbath Dayl
IT'S here the weary Pilgrim
Doth reach his House Of Easel
That blessed House, called Beautiful"
And that soft Chamber, Peace"
The Rivar of Life runs through his dream.
And the leaves of Heaven are at playl
lie sees the Golden City CLEAN,
This shining sabbath Day!
Take heart, we faint and fearful.
Your cross with courage bear;
SO many a face now fearful
Shall shine in glory there;
Where all the sorrow is banishod
The tere are wiped away
And all eternity shall be
An endless Sabbath Day!
All, there are empty places,
Since last we mingled here;
There will be miss faces
When we meet another yearl
But heart to hsart before we part.
Now altogether pray
That.we may meet in Heaven, to spend
The Eternal Sabbath Day

Scott, that he has been imposed upon by the
communications and affidavts upon which he
founded his statement made to the Presldent,
and his recommendation that martial law be
declared in the county"
This letter very fully disposes of the false
and fraudulent statements contained in the
letters Of Senator Scott's correspondents, aud
ought to servo as lesson to that ambitious
but impulsive statesman. 1t is out OF such
miserable stuff that stories about Klu Kux
outrages are manufactured by southern rad
icals to fire the northern heart. There vii.
be a plentiful supply Of them until after the
October elections have taken place, and then
they will cease 10 be beard of.

neither read nor write, occupy seats in the

John Scott and Martial Law.

John Scott, a Senator from this State and
chairman of the Congressional Ku>Klux
committee, recently made hurried visit to
Washington for the purpose of urging the
President to issue a proclamation declaring
martial law in the counties of York and
Spartanburg, in South Carolina This is a
very scurvy business for Senator Scott, or
any other man not Senator, to be engaged
in. 1t was represented that Grant was at
first willing to comply with this modest re-
quest of the Pennsylvania Senator, and to
let loose the dogs of war, but the timely
counsel Of some men, wiser and more dis
Greet thar either Grant or Scott, prevailed,
and the contem plated proclamation mas thus
far not been issued.
During the past summer, Mr.. Scott, with
two other members of his committee, Steven
son, radical. and Van Trump, democrat,
spent several weeks in the two counties
named, and examined large mum Der of
witnesses, black and white, in reference to
the existence of Ku-Klux organizations and
their alleged outrages. 1t was not in conse-
sequence of the evidence then elected that
Mr.. Scott hastened to Washington and de-
manded that martial law should be procIaim-
ed in the York and Spartanburg districts, but
because he had received certain letters con-
tanning statements and affidavits to the effect
that reign of terror had broken out in those
localities since the subcommittee had left
there. and that the most terrible and inhu-
man outrases were being perpetrated. That
John Scott has been made a willing dupe
by few lying scoundrels and villains in
Spartanburg county. is conclusively proven
by the following letter addressed to him,
signcf by twenty of the most prominent cit
izens of that county, all radicals, including
the United States Commissioner, the United
States Assessor. Probate Judge, Sheriff,
Clerk of the Court, and the Representatives
of the county in both branches of the Legis>
lature
SPARTANsBuRG, S. c., Sept 4.
To The Hon. John Scott, Chairman Of the Ku K llr
Committee
We the undersigned citizens of the said
State and county, having seen through the
newspapers that you had received statements
and aibdavits that outrages upon various citi-
zens had been committed in this county, since
the Committee OF which you are Chairman left

recommended the proclamation of martial law
in this county, feel constrained to. make this

WHY SHOULD MAN BE A DEMOCRAT g.
Because Democrats are 10 favor Of an hon.
est. intelligent administration of the govern
ment.
Because the Democratic party is the party
of the people.
Because the nation owes all it has in great
ness to the early and judicious application of
Democratic ideas and theories to the admin
istration of its affairs.
Because the Democratic party is in favor
of Government of the people.
Because it is in favor of plain system of
government, "void of pomp, protecting all,
and granting favors to none. dispensing its
blessings alike upon the high and the low,
the rich and the poor"
Because the Democratic party is in favor
Of Government not of force but of princi-
pie.
Because it is not sensational party, but
one whose principles are alike sacred to the
people of the North. South, East and West
Because it is a party opposed to "any kind
of tyErany ever tie minds of men,"
Because the Democratic party is in favor
of maintaining the General Government iu
the exercise Of its Constitutional powers, and
of perpetuatDg to the States all the liberty
commensurate with the maintenance of a
sound civil government.

AT the election held in California on the
5th instant, the Radicals elected Booth. their
candidate for Governor, by about 900 ma
jority. We are not at all surprised at this
result, for we can truthfully say that we
expected it. There are a great many pig
headed Democrats in every State. but in CAL
ifornia their name is legion. Upon all such
The severe lessons Of experience are thrown
away. They are men who prefer defeat,
provided their favorite candidate is nomina
ted, rather than victory with a new man.
Governor Haight, an able man, was serving
out the remnant of his first term of fou.
years. Against his denomination there ex-
listed a powerful and well organized opposi-
tion in the ranks of his own party Whether
it ought to have been so is quite unimpor-
tant Ro'c. 1t was fact not TO be ignored
by the nominating convention. During the
election Of delegates to the State convention.
there was more excitement and a greater de-
gree Of personal bitterness manifested by the
ever displayed in Presidential contest. Il
was fatal omen, the ominous hand writing
on the wall. 1t was disregarded. Haight
was renominated-thOse who opposed him
in the convention became lukewarnn and in
different, if not positively hos;ile-armed
neuirals in :he campaign-tho canvass was
dull snh spiTitless, and the natural result is
q Democratic defeat, instead Of victory
with new and unohjectionable candidate
The lesson which it teaches is full of instruc-
tion and should be remembered. 1t shows
that California will be debateable ground in
the Presidential contest in 1S7s-that and
nothing more.

GEORGE o. EVANS, the embezz!er of over
quarter of million of dollars, is master of
the situation and still at large. The Harris
burg constable, or whatever official title he
bore. who went to New York armed with
Geary's requ;sition, made no serious effort to
from all the surroundings of this dirty and
dsgraceful affair from its first exposure. that
the State officials at Harrisburg instructed
the officer not to give himself any unnecessa-
ry trouble in his attempt to find out Evans
hiding place He could and ought to have
been arrested in Harrisburg weeks ago, if
Geary. Brewster, Hartranft and Mackey had
done their duty or desired his arrest. But
instead of this. they cooly permitted him to
escape, and then Geary demanded and pros
cured the dismissal from office of Mcclure,
the Assistant Attorney General. who had
unearthed and made public the defalcation.
If there was not some powerful reason why
Evans should not be arrested, and if the
warrant for that purpose had been delivered
to Allen j. Pinkerton. the New York detec-
tive, the criminal would have been promptly
secured, if he is still in the country. The
end cf this shameless robbery is not vet,
and the people will demand to know Why
the State Treasury has been swindIed out of
a quarter Of a million of dollars with inn
punty and with the apparent connivance ct
men high in authority. One thing is GER
ministration and all connected with it for all
time to come. and will stick to it like the fa-

EIGHTEEN MONTHS WITHOUT FooD "a
very peculiar case" says the London Times,
(which has baff1ed several doctors, and
which in strange manner shows how life
can be prolonged without anything in the
shape of ordinary nutrition. has just come
to light at a place near Preston. In the fold
of Ennell-lane, which closely adjoins the vii
lags of Walton-le-Dale, and which is about
a mile and half from Preston, there is
cottage wherein for three years a young
woman has been lying edridden, aud for
between one and two years has had nothing
to eat. Her name is Ann Riding. She is
thirty-three years of age, and resides with
her aunt. Prior to being taken i'll she was
a strong. healthy woman. never losing
days work, and was employed as an opera
tive at the mill of Messrs. Horrocks, Miller
& Co., Preston. Shortly after sickness set
in she left work, was compelled to take 70
her bed, was medically attended, and for
three years has been gradually sinking
Several doctors have at times attended her,
but none Of them have been able to give her
any substantial relief, and six months ago
remedial operations were abandoned, and the
case left to itself the idea of the aunt being
that the Almighty had to do with it, aaG
that 1T was useless continuing to incur ex-
peDses for medicines without any hope of a
cure. For sixteen months the young woman
has had no food at all. the only thing she
could bear being drop of water to moisteu
her lips. She is frequently asked if she will
not have food, but always refuses it-she
has no desire for it, and how she has for such
a long period existed without anything pos
sessing the least affinity to meat is mystery.
She is conscious. bat very weak. gets little
sleep, and cannot bear lighted candle in
the room at night time. 1t is supposed that
she is suffering from abdominal atrophy,
but the exact nature of the case is not posi-
lively understood. and it puzzles every one
who is made acquainted with it, and espe>
cialiy when it is recollected that for a year
and four months she has not had as much
meat and drink as would have been reqni>
site to sustain an infant single day. Tho
relatives in charge of the young woman are
humble, honest people. and make no Show
of the case, which is hardly known in the
district"
