Treasurer Allen.

MIR. EDITOR: In the Union Herald OF
the 11th inst, under the above caption,
app ears tho names Of several prominent
merchants and citizens Of your city, who
have signed the petition praying for the
pardon OF Treasurer Allen for his attemp
to enrich himself with the public money.
These men certainly we'll know the past
record Of Allen. While Senator, ho ia
vored and helped on all the hellish legis.
lation that has areH nigh resulted in the
everlasting ruin and disgrace of South
Carolina; and how. then, these mon could
consistently sign such petition, is q
matter Of great wonder to many. There
is many poor black man now serving
out his sentence in tho penitentiary for
far less crimes than was proved against
Allen; in fact, there is 70 greater crimi-
nal there, (murderers excepted,) than
this man Allen. Why not, then, petition
to have them oil pardoned? An impair
tlal humane feeling for them demands it.
The names of Scott, Neagle, Parker,
Dennis, and such like, has not created
any surprise-none whatever. It was o
forGonc conclusion with them, that Allen
should go Scott free, while through him
Cardozo should make fizzled effort TO
provo the sincere and honest designs of
the present Administration.

Free Trade in France.

It is stated in the Paris Conslitutior.ct,
of May 81, that the new French Govern
ment abandons the treaties of commerce
proposed by the Thiars Ministry, OH pro.
tectionist principles, and will return to
the treaties OF 1860, with slight modidca.
tions. These were negotiated on free
trade principles by express desire of the
late Emperor. The COZ meroial treaty
with England, negotiated by Michel
Chevalier and Richard Golden, was the
first, and was signed in January, 1850.
The new tariff which it soon established
came into operation in the following o.
tober. A year later, q like treaty with
Belgium was made; with Prussia, in Au-
gust, 1862; and with Italy, in January,
1868. It is expected that in few weeks
the commercial policy OF France will be
declared by The MaoA1ahon Government
to be decidedly free trade.

ins to Skowhegan, contemplated that the
county should not proceed to build under ire
years or perhaps four years, in season to have
them completed within Ave years. And one
reason why the last legislature had inserted
this five year provision, was, as understand
that the center Of business in that county Yves
not fxed; and that i, was thought best, not to
have expenditures, by way of building, until
the people had time to see what they really
did want about that. Hence that provision.
Not that it prohibited them from. building
sooner; but it contemplated that length of
time for those reasons. Then why this hot
haste in building? 1t is very easy to see,
that they make haste to expend money in that
direction, for the purpose of enabling them to
come down here with the argume mt that mon
ey had been expended under the act of last
year, and with that argument clinch this
whole matter, thus unjustly forestalling this
legislative proceeding.

lieve that they will succeed. The task
is tedious, difficult and responsible
one. It is due to the South that the

WHAT PRESIDENT iIkAS'E-S
FRIENDS SAY ABOUT HIM.

The New York Erening Post. one of
the Presidents strongest supporters
for reelection, says
Still it is true, beyond question,
that the President has not kept his
promises. The record as to assess
mert,' has been by no means clear.
He has made appointments which, if
they DO not cOntravene the letter. GER
tainly violate the spirit, of the re gula-
tions by which he proposed to be
guided: He has, i'll general, gone
about the reform in an indolent and
not altogether earnest way. But we
would not say that the reform has not
made progress. Times have changed
for the better since Mr. Murphy left
the Custom House. The President
has not done what he promised and
what we had a right to expect but we
are free to admit that things might be.
and have been, worse than they are.

Where the road between MERGED and
Smelling crosses the MERGED river. that
stream is about two hundred yards in
width, and even a. this season Of the
year, when the water is quite low, il
looks like Il dangerous and deep stream
to cross. \ Few days since "a patent
medicine agent, travelling on horseback
through that section, came to the river.
and hesitated about attempting to ford
it as he saw the wide expanse of rush
ing waters. There IS no bridge any,
where along there, SO after some indie
cision he conclnded to swim his horse
across. Spying boy fishing in small
punt tied to the bank, he said
Hello, bub T.

''All right, I'll give you quarter to

reniie, WHO padded ont into the
stream, and mounted his horse. pre-
pared to swim the river and enjoy the
luxury of bath. With a splash at
every movement the horse stepped into
the stream, and walked across-the
water was nowhere more than eighteen
inches deep! To say that medi-
cine man, perched on the back of his
horse, was man of iniquity for the
space of half al hour. would hardly do
justice to the occasion. There were
enough "dams' along the MERGED that
afternoon to supply a hundred mill

Of tie Caucasian, with approving
comments, closing with the remark

It may be that there is no such man
as H. Clay Harper, but whether there
is Or not, the appearance of the above
card in . public newspaper, with edi-
torial endorsement, IS disgrace to
American journalism.
The Savannah NcuS makes the fol-
lowing comments on the above, 10
which we give our hearty assent. 1t
says:
1.-The editor of tue CuucnsiQ}t can
not possibly be more uncompromi-
singly opposed to General Grant and
his revolutionary faction, with their
record Of imbecility, corruption, rlsur-
| patton and outrage, than ourselves.
But with all their tyrannies, usurpa-
tons, outrages and malignant persecu-
tons, they have not yet reduced us to
the level of sayages and though con-
stitution and laws, right and justice,
have been trampled under foot, our
civilization yet remains-the moral
law IS not yet abrogated. Until it is,
assassination is not in tune, and the
Southern people will hold it. and even
its seeming instigators. aiders and
abettors, in just execration.
''In his endorsement Of Harper's in
decent wager, the editor of the Cau
casioa, with fippancy bordering o.
blasphemy, quotes the language o.
Caiphas 1t is expedient for us thai
one man should die for the people, anC
that the whole nation perish not, ant
exciaims: Let the sentiment sprine
to life anew in every patriots heart.
Such Incorporate rawlings and wicked
inyocations, while they are ablorren
t. the conservatism and moral scnti
lnont Of the Southern people, are cal
cuiatcd to impose on the too willing
cre,luliiy Of onr pharasaical enemies
intensifying their malignity and giving
plausible pratcxt to our oppressors 20
. continued outrage and persecution.
