And the hardy miner minoth shining gold

solemn march of stars,
Like to him the vision sesmeth angel band

Down beyond the penetration of the dull
unaided eye,
Microscopic worlds and wonders in divineat

Scraps of history time has written On the
rocks through ages long,
Leads to day the busy student like an old
familiar song.

Beareth them his faithful servant, swift his
pleasure to fulfill.
Painting with his golden pencil, now the
sun our picture takes
And Levlathan, the steamer, whirls aloft the
crystal fakes,
Splashing, dashing, bearing commerce on
ward to its destined goal;
And its brother, Locomotive, shakes the land
with constant roll.
Screams out wsgning at deep midnight, in the
lingering travellers ear,
shrill as blast of battle trumpet when the
deadly strife is near,
Through the rocky gorge it rusheth, painting
on its iron path,

Governor Seward, in conversation with
friend few days since, said he felt no con-
Germ or apprehension about the present CON-
motion in England growing out Of the present
phase of the Alabama claims. He had no
doubt of England's being willing and anxious
to settle our bill peaceably, on our terms, at
no distant day. She cannot, as he believes.
afford to do otherwise, and is sensible
enough to realize that her interest lies that
way.

u.na1e Not. Touch Not.u

We are gratified to know, through the
voice of our mass meeting on Monday,
that so many of Edgefeld's sons have
firmly resolved to take no hand In elest-
ing to Office either wing Of the RepuM-
cam State ticket. They very conscieh-
tiously and very correctly look upon TIE
Moses-Hoge-Joe Crews Ring as robber
band of reckless thieves and plunderefs
and upon the Tomlinson orr-BoYen Bolt
as vile crew of ravenous vampires who
would despoil US of our last farthing and
gloat over our misfortunes.
Yea, we are proud that our people will
continue to preserve their self-respec1
and ever honorable record by refusing
to support either the ticket led by the
Scslawag Moses-the base spendthrif
and infamous disbursef of fraudulent
certificates the ticket led by Tomlin'
son, the whining Carpet-Bagger ano
phosphate bribe taker.
We have 40 confidence in the Moses
Ring-none in the Temlinson Boilers
And, therefore, for the want of better
ticket to vote for, will let the election o
State officers go by default. We canno
be party to putting thieves in office
even if, in the opinion of some, policy
should prompt US so to act. Policy a
times may be good card to plsy, bu
policy never has, and never will, so IA
influence the people of Edgefeld as u
cause them to support disreputable ant
VIGOROUSLY dishonest men for Office. l
we cannot vote for those worthy OF oul
suffrages, we will not vote at all.

Grant Items.

The Buffalo Courier has gone to the
trouble of collecting number Of inter
esting "reminiscences, in regard to some
individuals just at present by no means
unknown to fortune or to fame-(in-fame
perhapsl. Here they are:
It was VIM. Lloyd Garrison, who de-
clared the constitution covenant with
aell."
1t was Gen. Grant, who threatened to
take his regiment over ia the rebels II
slavery was interfered with.
1t was John a. j. Creswell who urged
Maryland to secede from the union in
1861.
1t was John A. Logan, who recruited
iifty-one men in Illinois for Bsauregard's S
army.
It was VIM. Lloyd Garrison, who
thanked God that he had worked for
thirty years to break up the Union as it
was.".
1t was Judge Settle, president of the
Grant convention, who was kicked out
If the rebel army for robbing sick SOL
-dier5 of hospital stores.
Itwas the presidents father, who got
A permit from his son to steal cotton du
ring the war. :.
!. 1t was Senator Morton, who spoke oi
8 thk Dutchnien, who are only fit to cat
cabbage and drink lager"
It WAS Henry Wilson, who took u
solemn oath never TO vote for u Catholic
or foreigner.
It was Mrs. Gen. Grant, who received q
$4,000 check for :" the governments"
pla.l- F,.ilnN
It was Henry Ward Beecher, who
stated that Grant knew more about
horses than statemanSliip."
It was Wendell Phillips, who wrote
from Galena that" Grant is owing several
old .whiskcy bills here"
It was Ben. Butler, who said q year
ago Grant hasn't the soul of dog"
It was X;sclS. Chandler. who stated to
Chas. A. Dana that 1--WE never had such
an ignoramus in the White House.
It was Robeson, who paid claim OF
$72, 900 over law made on purpose to
prevent it.
1t was Bullock, Grant Governor, who
stole millions of dollars.
A tug boat nanied. "Genoial Grants
sunk in the Pepobscottat Bangor, Thurs
day last, about two feet of her smoke
stack remaining above the surface. The
other General Grant viii sink An N0vem-
ber, and his smoke-staok" will be so
far under water that it will never appear
again.
The New York Mail says that in one
respect Grant has the start Of Greeley in
this campaign, for Grant quietly smokes
his cigar and Greeley takes the stump.
The miserable postmaster at Broad
head, Penn, whose salary is thirty dol
lars per annuin, complains that he has
been ordered to pay twenty-five dol
lars tothe Grant campaign fund,
The main reason why the Grant party
don't want to "clasp hands" is because
if they opened their paws their stealings
might fly away.

Greeley Items.

Hon. VIM. w. Eaton, leading Demo
crat in Connecticut, who didn't like the
Greeley movement, said in State Con-
vention there Wednesday, "It is said
there are Democrats who will not vote
the ticket. Well, there may be some,
To such, Ipropose to address myself.
did say at a dinner table, some time
ago, that didn't like to take medicine
till was sick. Well, got sick. And
out of so, 1000 Democrats in this State, 49,
900 were taken sick about the same time.
The dose in the cup, marked Greeley, IS
the best medicine we can take. Adams
would have pleased me BETTER but Gree
ley is the nominee. And be is attacked
with more violence by his late Republi-
can friends than any other man has ever
been-and what for? Because he means
to stop the stealing"
Gov. Brown of Georgia advises the
Liberal Republicans of that State to sup
port the Democratic State ticket, and to
vote for Greeley and Brown.
The Wheeling Register says West Vir-
ginia will give ten thousand majority for
tile Greeley electoral ticket.
The Indiana Sentinel thinks the State
will give Greeley 2O,OoO majority. In
1868 it gave Grant II, 500 majority.
No one who is posted estimates the
Conservative majority in Virginia atless
than 10000. 1t is more likely to be over
than under that number.
Connecticut will certainly 50 for Gree
ley, and probably by large majority.
The Liberals and Democrats are offering
large odds on the result, but there are no
takers.
1t is universally admitted that nothing
comparable to Greeley's Western oya-
ton has ever been known since the time
of General Harrison. The people every
where were wild with enthusiasm fot
Greeley and Reform.
The Philadelphia Herald tells the Dem
ocrats and Liberals, and the friends Of
reform, and the opponents eff the Ring,
that if they will so to- the polls and vote
on the Sth OF October, and in addition
will exercise strict vigilance in regard
TO the intrigues of the Ring leaders the
city will be carried against Hartranft by
1000 majority.

Alteration in the Reform Ticket.

DR. w. n. Timm erman, nominated on
Monday last, in card whose sentiments
do him much honor, declines to be a
candidate for the Legislature upon the
Reform ticket. DIR. Zimmerman is a
wise and patriotic citizen, and as the
time is so short, we regret his action in
the matter. However, the citizen he so
generously names, VIM. Haltiwanger,
Esq, is one OF our very best and fairest
At the suggestion of Dr. Zimmerman,
and upon consultation with number OF
fellow-citizens active in the late Meeting,
we insert Mr.. Haltiwanger's name in the
original ticket, and call upon all friends
of Reform to give him their suffrage on
the 10th.

Let us work for our redemption through
the peaceful agency of the ballot box.
In another column stand the proceedings
and result of the Mass Meeting of our
citizens on Monday last. After much
discussion and mature deliberation, they
have nominated full ticket of County
officers. This nomination is emphatical-
" in the cause of public reform, public
retrenchment, and public and private
decencyo And it is as fair towards the
colored people as towards the whites. we
have not the slightest hesitation in say
ing that the white citizens here nomina-
ted would serve the colored people with
far more faith, farmore disinterestedness,
and far more capacity, than The cores
ponding nominees on the Republican
ticket. If the eolofed people, especially
those who live in distant parts Of the
County, are wise, they win vote for this
ticket. AS to the white people, no mat
ter what their views may have been be-
fore the nomination, it. Is now clearly
their duty-every single man who has
vote-to come forward on election day
and cast their ballot for Retrenchment
and Reform. There is no telling the poar-
er of a,t actipe, compact and persistent
minority, especially when vices and di-
visions reign among their opponents.
Georgia has set US a noble example To-
day all alien power is at an end within
her borders. To be sure she had not the
numerical majority to overcome which
South Carolina has. Butwe are inclined
to think that had we worked all this
while as persistently as the Georeians,
the negro majority would long since
have lost its solidity and cohesiveness
It is not in the nature of things-if we
think earnestly about it-that intellect,
education, property and persistent de-
termination can ultimately prove una
vailing in such contest with such op-
ponents. Let us therefore begin to-day
to rally from eur supineness, resolved to
make the best of our situation. Events
have shown the folly of brave and in
telligent people abnegating their high
privileges and duties.
We earnestly exhort every voter in
Edgefield to make at his duty, through
thick and thin, to be at the polls on
Wednesday next, and vote for the ticket
nominated by the Mass Meeting on Mon
day last.

really handsome. The Hotel, kept by that
hespitable, estimable, and whole-soul

commodious building, and the large

the three large and fiourishine stores,

do not exaggerate when I say that you

There is being erected two large and
fine Churches-a. Baptist and Methodist

Stealing the Negroes, Money.

SAVANNAH, October 3.-The money
sent here from Washington to pay the
poll taxes of the negroes was appropria-
ted by the white Radical managers, who
gave negroes bogus receipts. This swind-
ling operation deprived large number
of negroes of voting. Thereis great in
dignation among the negroes. They also
collected money from the negroes to pay
poll taxes and kept it, giving the same
bogus receipt. ~

Long, q notorious negro inccndiary, who
when they got in trouble, fled from the

on the part of the whites was done alto

One white man and three negroes were
killed, and two white men and several
colored wounded. The negroes soon re-
tired in disorder, and afterwards refused

whole difficulty grew out of the attempt
