down WITH THE RIoTERs

A most unhappy feature in the pres
ent political campaign is the disposition
to riot manifested by the blacks, in
every part Of the South. From every
quarter we hear of disturbances, som
times of n serions nature, which every
good citizen should certainly deplore,
and Use his influence to check. AS vet
the whites of the Conservative party
do not seem to have been involved to
any considerable tent; the difficulties
originating with, and being generally
confined to the different factions of
the Republican party. But how
ever this may be, is not so much a
matter of concern as the consequences
10 which such thoughtless and criminal
conduct may lead. 1t is notorious
fact that those who are most noisy in
starting a difficulty, are not always the
most ready to meet it.
Such men are always selfish, think
ing only OF gratifying. their present
ends. regardless alike of the welfare of
their Deighbors, and the moral consc.
quences of their actions. They little
realize how great a flame little spark
r'ny kindle; or if they realize it, they

MATERIAL PROGRESS.

1t would be we'll for our people, If,
instead ofpermitting theirminds TO be
unduly engrossed in politics, of which
they have little control to turn their
attention to the material progress of
the country. BY the improving of our
lands, the building up of our farm
conveniences, the erection Of factories,
the laying out of railroads, the encour
agement Of immigration, we will do
more for the ultimate establishment of
of good government, than by any toni
porary effort to influence our political
destinies. We are too much disposed
to jump Mt immediate relief. We
will have to learn that frequently "the
longest way aroundis is the shortest way
home."
What we want is for settlers to come
among us, who intend to nuke Ineir
homes here, and work along wiah us
for the development of our State. But
it is said that we cannot offer INDUCE
ments for them to come. Can this be
possible? Where are our acres of land
that are now running us by taxations 2
This is our capital stock to contribute.
But next you ask, where is the money
to come from? We answer go to
Northern and European capitalists,
and offer upon liberal terms to unite
our lands with their capital, to assist
lis in building cottages on suitable
tracts to accommodate immigrants
or otherwise to develop our resources.
But the Northerner makes two objec.
tions: First, that the political condi-
tion of the. State is too precarious.
This we admit is IN obstacle for the
Republican party to remove, but we
think if he will help us, we can even
better this. Second, that he, the North
erner, is ostraciscd socially Mt the South
In answer to this we say that we
belleye that any Northern man, Who
comes here, otherwise than to make
his living by Office, will be admitted
into that society to which his education
and rearing entities him. We make
our bread by the sweat of our brow,
and we think all honest men ought to
be willing to do the same. All this
talk about social ostracism is circula-
ted at the North by those who are
chagrined at being unnoticed on
account of their inordinate love of
office. We heartily welcome all honest
Northern men, who come among us to
make living in the ordinary way,
and feel assured that our people will
cooperate with all such, wherever they
can, for the material advancement of
the State.

Calling for United states Troops.

d 4 =. Il /.
Two rival negro politicians have
got into a wrangle in South Carolina.
Their respective adherents stand MP
for their leaders, and the result is n
sort of free fight. One of the, leaders
feels that he has been temporarily
worstcd, and so lie coolly Inpkes n
requisition for United States troops.
Gen. Mcdowell !. of course. rel ID 10,
comply, and the litigions negtSes a-e
left to settle their disgraceful fights as
best they can. That such demand
was made at all proves that among
the freedmen there is an impression
that whenever they want the assistance
of Federal authority they have only to
ask for it. They owe this delusion to
crafty men who derive large part
Of their influence from their own rep
presentations that they are all.powerful
at Washington. 1t is high time that
the Southern negroes should rid Them
selves of the idea that the one great
object of the Governments solicitude
is to keep certain political factions in
power in the South.
South Carolina has done much to
disgust the Republican party. The
colored men are largely i'll the major
ity, and they have certainly managed
to fasten terrible load of corruption
and plumber upon the State. The
President has very fatty told the un.
scrupulous scamps in power there that
he will not. directly or indirectly,
raise a finger to throw particle of
influence in their favor. This decla-
ration gave the Northern Republicans
unqualified satisfaction. It ii de-
manded of the South Carolina Repub-
licans that they redeem their State
from the terrible condition in which
il is now found. If they do not, they
must prepare to be expelled from COM
munion with the honest men of the
party. If they see fit to fight among
themselves, well and good; it is hardly
possible to shed any decent blood in
such quarrel. But let the colored
men who persist in taking part in
such proceedings realize once and for
ever that the national troops are not
held subject to their beck and call.

An UnwhOIesome Season.

The closing days of winter and the early
days Of spring are very trying to the feeble aud
sensitive and are apt to affect unpleasantly
even the more robust aud vigorous. Nothing
can be more uncongenial to the nerves or more
depressing to the spirits than damp. chilling
winds, fogs and cold rains, and of such unwel=

this season. Common prudence, suggests,
therefore, the propriety Of terrifying tie system
against these insidious enemies Of health and
comfort, and the experience Of more than a
quarter Of century points TO Hostetter's
stomach Btters rs the all-suficient sanitary
safeguard under such untoward circumstances!
An accession Of vital strength and energy is
what is required to meet and overcome the
unhealthy elements now present in the atmos-
phere. This increase Of vital power, so neces-
sary to meet the extraordinary drafts which
An Indictment season makes upon the system
and the constitution, can be readily acquired
by taking from two TO three doses Of Hostetters
Bi,iers daily during the winter and sprung
months. The nature Of this celebrated restor-

TOURNAMENT AT SHEPHERDS
WOODS

Mr.. Editor Influenced by curiosity
and desire to see something OF the
world and its ways, l found myself on
Saturday last at the Tournament In
Shepherds Woods.
1t was a magnificent display OF horse
nanship, and chivalry was rampant
About fourteen Knights entered the
list for the honor of crowning the
Queen of Love and Beauty. The num-
/ Der of people present was immersed
when viewed through multiplying
glass" The knights were all hand
| sSomely attired in ''biled shirts" and red
sashes, throwing into the shade the
cbiyalrous Knights of former days, by
selecting the following titles North
Mountain; Red, White and Red; Some
thing more to Drink; Black Lance; Lin
den Spring Full of Fleas; Billmyers
MILL Seldom OH Time; Don't Care if
Do; Red, White and Blue; Jones X
Roads Rosanna Sunny South; Mag
nilla.
The successful Knights were Rosan-
ma, Full of Fleas, Magnilla; Red, White
and Blue, who relieved the prizes and
crowned Miss Sue Sigler, Queen; Miss
Crowl, lst Maid Of Honor; Miss Rice,
End Maid Miss Maddox, 3rd Maid.
The coronation address was made by
Mr.. Juarez, who spoke as follows: -
81 crown you Queen of Love and
Beauty. May you wear your crown
with royalty
This elected such an applause that
was unabls to hear the rest of the
speech.
The Knights were under the manage
ment of Juarez as Chief Marshal, assist
ed by Mr.. Mason Marshall. The time
of speed was so fast, that one of the
judges said "durned if can get this
watch out of my pocket in time
After the coronation ceremony the
shaking of the fantastic toe was indulg-
ed in until night, and all went home l
believe satisfied.

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE.-At the
Washington-Lee University, Lexington,
Virginia, says the Savannah Advertiser,
a student is each day detailed to watch
beside the tomb Of General Lee. Eve
nv morning one of the students is post
ed at the tomb in the memorial room of
the chapel, built under the supervision
of Lee. He is styled watcher and
his duty is to remain there during the
day and receive visitors, showing them
the proper courtesy and attention. AS
there are nearly three hundred and fifty
students, no one is on duty more than
once a year. Thus the entire Southern
people, through their representatives in
the University are watching at the tomb
of Lee, and their sons improved in man
ner and bearing by the sacred duty
they perform, and their minds and
hearts benefited by thoughts of the no.
bls dead.

Cuup SrEALNG.-A bold case of
child stealing comes to us from Phila-
delphia, Pa. A little boy, fouS years
old. was stolen in open day from the
front of his fathers house. The vii
liaus who committed this outrage had
been seen for days in the neighborhood.
They had carriage, which was also
seen, and has been described. They
enticed two children into their vehicle;
one of whom, too Ole to be carried
away safely, they sent back to tell what
had happened. They seem to have
had no fear of pursuit by the police,
and must have driven away boldly and
securely through crowded suburban
avenues and countless toll gates. But
now comes the most remarkable tact
III this strange story The abduction
was on the lst. Since that time the
parents have been stimulated by anony-
nous letters sent through the local
post offices, showing that the perpe-
traitors and their victim are near at
hand One of them reads thus: eve
Know you are not worth much money
but we are aware you have rich friends,
OF whom you can borrow. If you
love money better than your own child,
Its blood be on your head" Can
anything more fendish be imagined
Nor is the threat vain one; for if the
price be not paid and detection become
probable with Witness to tell the tail
of terror and sorrow, their is but one
alternative, and that is death.

At Dubuque, Iowa, last week, IT is
said thas ''during storm ball of fire
the size of mans head descended from
the sky into the centre of the street, d.
rectly on the head of Paul Hennis, and
there exploded with terrific report.
The hair was burned from his scalp,
the blood oozed from his ears, cash
an inch and half long was found I'M
der his chin where the electric current
had apparently made its exit; the
shock had broken his neck, and his
body was literally skinned. All down
his back and chest and limbs to the
soles of his feet, the cuticle was peeled
from the flesh and rolled and curled up
on itself leaving the corpse shocking
spectacle which those who saw could
never forget"

THE JoHxsroNs.-A Southern paper
speaks of Generals Albert Sidney and
Joseph L. Johnston as "the two illus
trious kinsmen". This is mistake, as
the Richmond (Va) Enquirer explains
1t says that Gen. A. S. Johnston's faith
er was a Connecticut man by birth,
having been born in Litchfeld, in that
State. General Sidney Johnston was
born in Marion county, Ky. General
JE. Johnston is a son of the old revo-
lutionary patriot, Judge Peter Johns
ston. of was born in Prince Ed
ward county, that State. If there was
any blood relationship between them 1t
is not known.

tied with saying that he is prepared to

that Butler issued orders at that time
requiring all the officers and Of the
coiored regiments to leave their money
at his headquarters to be taken care Of
When q man was shot, Hooker says
the money left with Butler was never
heard of again, aud he estimates the
latter made at least . million dollars II

DESTRUCTIVE SroRMs.-Within the

country have been visited by remarks
bic storms, which have proved disas-
trous to both life and property. The
bursting of a water spout, in storm
that passed over Eureka, Nevada, on
Friday of last week, was quickly fol
lowed by severe storms in Indiana and
wisconsin. These have been succeeded
by an appalling flood, which, on Sunday
last, deluged the suburbs Of Allegheny
CITY, Pa, and the country around. This
one was more destructive than any OF
the others. Thousands of dollars worth
of property was swept away, and it is
