OUR German fcllow-citzens are in
training for a grand concert, atan early
day, for the relief of the distressed peo-
pie of Louisiana. They will present
an entertainment worthy of general
patronage by itself, but when we con-
slider the holy object, we expect our
people to turn out en- masse. At such
times, when the cry of anguish comes
to US from women and children in a
sister state, the heart must he strong
that will not respond in the small way
demanded to enjoy a rare nusical fes-
tival. There are in all new commune
ties like this worthy people, of tender
heart, who can not even spare dollar
for the distressed--some Of Gods best
creatures are in this situation--but the
great mass of our people can spare a
pittance of one to five dollars for this
blessed object, without Inconvenience.
The good name of Dallas, already rated
high for its generous liberality, is a
sufficient guarantee for a grand turnout
when the festival comes.

ascending into the Aue, leaving beneath it an
opening which took US half story lower.
Between the ground-aoor and that above it
was a space high enough for grown person
to stand upright, and which was not discover
able either from without or within.
When we reached corner wall my strange
rescuer again draw me to her, and pushed
back bar in the wall, when the square on
which we stood quickly assembled. Here, also,
as in nav room, was the secret outlet under the
chimney, through which was so magically
led.
T felt as if walked from dream. A mo-
ment before in mortal danger, and now safe
in this quiet spot with my fairy.
Here was the apparition of my dream 4!
This was the being who had kissed me under
the pomegranate-tree! The same counte.
nance, the same eyes, the same silent lips
and now also, again the same sudden disap-
pearance On looking around I could see
her nowhere. But this time what had seen
was no dream; for in few moments heard
the alarm-bell sound from the castle tower.
The entrance to this tower also had never
been able to find. It too, then, was only to
be reached from Vi0la's room. Poor child /!
as soon as she had imagined from the shoot
ing that nv life was in danger she herself dis
closed the protecting secret in order to rescue
me, and afterward hastened to signal the dan
ger to the inhabitants
In short time I heard the people noisily
approaching my residence. This was followed
by sharp skirmish on the veranda, ending
with shout of victory from my good people.
The robbers had fed, taking with them the
dangerously wounded man who had been hit
by nv bullet. Another lay dead in the court
yard. The game-keeper had stabbed him
with his butcher.knife The robber had ven
tured to oppose the King of Lapland, who
had hurried up to the support of his mighty
friend, the Gar. The remainder of the band
were taken together within the year.
But the faithful porter had been killed.
AS the servants brought lamps, and by their
light we raised from the ground the bleeding
body of the man who had so devotedly offered
himself, Viola began to lament like young
bird stolen from its nest. She threw herself
on the ground, and went into such paroxysms
of grief that I began to fear for her reason.
Raising her tenderly, assured her l would
now take the place of the protector she had
lost. At this she cast her eyes down tremu-
lously, but the tears rolled from under the
long halfclosed lashes. She had, then, un-
derstood my words. Whoever can under

by the State should be subservient to the pub.
lie good that the charges for travel and
freight should be equitable and uniform, and
no unjust determinations be made between
through and local travel and freights.
TX. We shall advocate such modification
of our present system oftaxation as will prove
of the largest advantage to our agricultural
interests, and shall lend our earnest endeavors
to the enactment of such laws and to the en-
couragement of such means as will the most
speedily develop the resources and build up
the manufacturing and industrial prosperity
of South Carolina, and the construction OF
such new railroads as will give the largest and
cheapest facilities to all our citizens.
K. We will not only protect, in the truest
sense; the property of the State, but pledge
ourselves to such wise, just and humane laws
as will perfect the education and elevation OF
our laboring classes.
XII. With full faith ia the justice of these
principles, acknowledging our errors in the
past, but feeling confident of our ability and
determination to correct them, we appeal to
all true Republicans to unite in bearing our
candidates to victory, and pledge ourselves to
carry out, in the practical administration OF
the government, every principle inscribed
upon our standard in the interest of the whole

PLATFORM OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

I. We reIfirm our earnest adhesion to the
platform and principles adopted by the Ma
tional Republican Convention, at Philadel-
pha, on the 9th day of June, 1872, as en-
bodying the true ideas Of American progress.
II. We maintain the authority of the gen.
eral government to interfere for the preserva.

States, and we acknowledge with gratitude
such interpositiou in this State.
III. We deprecate lawlessness in any form,
condemn turbulent agitation in any place, de-
plore violence, intimidation or obstruction of
personal or political rights by any party, de-
mand an universal respect and conservation
of the elective franchise in the hands of the
weakest, and shall hold all men as enemies to
equality of rights who interfere with or deny
the free and lawful exercise of its use to any
citizen, whatever may be his party creed.
". We pledge ourselves to continue scru.
pulously, to enact aud enforce the financial
reforms promised two years ago, and in large
measure fulfilled, in proof Of which We point
to the following laws, viz: "The constitution
al amendment to prevent the increase Of the
public debt" "the law to levy specific tax"
"the law to reduce the volume Of the public
debt" "the law to regulate the number of at
tachGs," "thc law to regulate the disbursement
of the public funds" and "the law to regulate
assessments"
V. We pledge ourselves to reduce the pub
lie expenses within the public revenue, and to
secure the enactment of a law requiring all
public officers who disburse money to give to
the public detailed monthly statements of all
rccei pts and expenditures derivable from a
moderate assessment and tax rate and by
proper enactments to shorten the annual ses-
sons of the General Assembly, and reduc-
tion of appropriations for contingent and in
cidental expenses of the legislative and exec
utive departments of the government
VI. We earnestly entreat the Congress of
the United States to pass the Civil Rights

the constitutional guaranty Of equal rights
for all American citizens.
VII. We especially pledge ourselves to
maintain the settlement of the public debt as
made last winter, and to reject all claims

GEORGIA POLITICS.

A correspondent of the Greenville Neus,
writing from Augusta, intimates that Joe
Brown will be the next candidate OF the Re-
publican party, in opposition to Bob Ioombs,
whom, it is thought the Democrats will put IN
nomination. The correspondent says that
Browns personal character cannot be success
fully impeached and in the matter OF "Judg'
ment" as to political affairs, he has no equal.
If any man in Georgia could wrench from
Toombs his laurels, that man is Joseph f..
Brown. Under his several administrations
Georgia prospered, and there is "hankerlng,
after Joe Brown among thousands OF good
people, who have always believed ne could
be Governor whenever be wished.
A sharp game which the Republicans OF
Georgia are now playing is thus referred to
by the same correspondent:
"No nominations are being made by the re-
publicans in this State. They are playing
smart, and time will show whether they are
successful. They are maneuvering to bring
out independent democratic candidates, tor
whom they will vote, and if the democracy
are not wary, and prevent the running OF in
dependents" this maneuvre will assist mate.
rally in breaking down the democratic party.
The republicans say that they will nominate
no candidates at all, but take the chances
with these independents. 1t is good scheme
for them, and our Georgia friends must 60
slow, or it will tell on them in time. Some
such plan in the opposite direction would
weaken the republican party in South Caro-
lima.
Another new idea has been suggested in
reference to the next Presidential election,
which is said to have the endorsement of some
very prominent men here. it's a proposition
for the South to "bottle up" its electoral vote,
amounting to near one hundred, and let the
Democrats and Republicans North fight out
their fight at home, and when the Southern
vote is carried into the electoral. college, to
vote it for the man or party who will pledge
to pay the Southern people for their slaves;
and to continue to do this for the next centu.
ry, if necessary, until it succeeds This would
let the South entirely out of national politics.
and consequently rid her Of a great deal OF
strife and annoyance"
