mn EiOSTOH. MY u1VenC Into tho

morning Of -, at o'clock. The
poem of the Deserted Village was never
more Ally illustrated, for not o living

tive point was the hotel. if such a place
could be found. After about half xn
hours search, / found it, aud pro-

window and usked If / wished to come

did. aud pnah=d the .lnac opua and
took possession. Walking into the
parlor, found a lamp. which I lit;
and seeing good pilo of light wood
slowed away in corner, set about
making a fire. accom- plished this
ouerous task. Just az uu autiquuted-

at the door, who had doubtless come
for the same purpose. In the mean
time. another traveller oe me in, and the
conversation turned npon the points
We bad visited. He eaid he was Just
from Marion, when the proprietor of
the hotel looked up und asked if that
was In South Carolina. This was too
much. and the explosion. of laughter
which, followed might have been beard
the length OF the town. My travelling
friend now improvissd bed ont of
three chairu. and was comfortably
snoozing away. but I continued talk
ing with mine host. who was a perfect
curiosity. What do I see? He goes
to side-bosrd. takes out Q bunch of
keys, and proceeds to unlock it. As
an old quart flask makes it's appear

before my eyes. aud my mouth waters

MIR. ROBERT SCHENCK, pokcr-player,
siIver-miner and Minister to England,
ought to come home to sue several
newspapers for libel. They arc still
saying some very unhandsome things
concerning his connection with that
Emma Mine. The Emma Milic Com
.pany held little meeting on the llth
of November. The old Board of Di-
rectors were dissolved. From the So
Iicitor's report a fact was CLEANED, it is
said, of interest, to Mr.. Schenck, and
not altogether void of interest 10 the
American people. 1t appears that the
representative of the United States at
the Court of St. James, who loaned his
name and influence to the Emma Mine
swindlc, enjoyed the confidence of the
Directors OF that institution to large
degree. They, for some reason or
other, loaned him $4,000 in the shape
of Emma Mine stock, and guaranteed
him interest on that SUN at the rate OF
Is per cent. per annum. What sort OF
transaction is that? Is it not an in
suit to the English Nation to keep
Schenck in London as the American
Minister? Is it not an outrage upon
our own people to continue such a
man in SO honorable a station? Mr..
Schenck should be recalled, and when
he comes over perhaps it would be
we'll enough to ask him some ques-
Htions about the passage OF the Gold
Bill of 1869, and to put few queries
10 him about the changing Of certain
whisky tax, which made millionaires
of some of his friends. Several nigh
ty interesting questions might be put
to Mr.. Schenck, or to some other peo-
pie concerning him. lie should be
promptly invited TO come home.-EnQ

nous Newport Barracks Band went
along.
The grounds at Columbus contain
eighty acres, and the buildings are
valued at upward Of 100000. The
opportunities for reaching them are
excellent, and the change will in many
regards prove beneficial. Columbus.
st. Louis, and Governors Island, New
York, will now be the only recruiting
stations and depots i'm the country.
The one at St. Louis will be entirely
for cavalry, and the other two for in
fantry and artillery. Tributary to
these will be here and there through
out the country a recruiting rendeZ
vous whence recruits will be sent to
the three stations for final examination.
They are now being received at the
three at the rate OF emily about one
hundred per month, the standard OF
physical excellence required being
higher than at any TINA since the be-
ginning Of the Mexican War.

The Third Term.

AN.Iewa correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer writing from Mt.
Pleasant, gives an account of an inter-
view with Ex-senator Harlan in which
is the following reply to the question,
"Did he think Grant had any show
for third term
Well, Grants nomination was not at
all among the improbable results of
the next year. He didn't believe
Grant wanted third term, but there
might be developments between now
and next summer that would throw
him at the head of the party again,
notens cole,ts, Yes, his nomination in
the Republican. -Conyention would
mean his election. The South was al
most solid for him, and he would carry
nearly every Southern State. If his
opponent should be War Democrat
every Stale of the Confederacy-even
Virginia-would cast its electoral vote
for him as it did in 1872. And if he
had 10 run against an anti-war Demo-
crat, he would carry some of the North
ern States that otherwise would vote
for a war Democrat.
But wouldn't Grants nomination
cause split in the party?. He thought
not. The party leaders would not be
SO mad as to do such suicidal thing,
because then the choice of the next
President would undoubtedly be left
to Congress, and Congress would elect
= Democrat. No, there would be no
Republican split. 1t would be either
Grant or some other man on lone
hand" "@ -a
Evidently the "third term" project
is growing in favor with Radical pol
iticians.

New JERSEY, that has been claimed
by the Republicans, gave aid mocratic
majority in the State, at the election
held on the 2d OF November. The
official vote gives the Democrats ST.
739 votes, and the Republicans 1880,
a Democrat majority of l,S79. In 1872
Grant had 9I,6Il votes and Greeley
76,SOl, the majority Tor tee former be-
ing 14.SlO. So it now appears that of
the thirteen States that voted Oh the
I'd OF November, having an aggregate
electoral vote OF l52, tho Democrats
have carried eight, viz: Maryland,
Mississippi. Missouri, New Jersey,
New York, Oregon, Virginia and
Wisconsin, with All aggregate elector-
al vote Of 81. This, with the States
known to be Democratic, gives the
Democracy 2lS electoral votes, with
out counting Ohio and Pennsylvania.

What Congress Should Do:

When Congress meets, as scen as
the organization is perfected, the DEM
ocratic House of Representatives
should immediatelyspass law rcpeal-
ing the ltesumptionA Act 10 take effect
in 1878, and which should also con tain
a provision repeating that section of
the National Bank ing Law which au-.
thorizes the banks 10 isetc money, and
it should declare ,I.;,t i.r sach money
greenbacks should be issued instead.
Who can oppose this? CcGtainly not
| the 'hard money" men. AS long as
we have paper money, who can nyObject
to its being issued directly by the
Government? There is profit in the
issue, and why not let it accrue to the
people, instead of to, The bankers P
Can anybody answer that objection to
the National Banking Law? There
is no ''hard money" in this business.
IT is simply choice between the
| United States Treasury notes, which
are q legal tender for all debts, public
and private, with two exceptions, and
notes that are not legal tender for
! any Individual obligation, and whose
/ only value consists in their being re-
deemable in gfeenbacks. The people
are for the Government egal-tenders,
Not man in a thousand will say that
he prefers National Bank note to q
Greenback. Upon that nearly all are
agreed. There may be those who are
humbngged by the cry of hard
money" but as long as there is no
"hard money" they prefer the notes Of
the Government Of the United States
to those of individuals
/. The people are also for the repeal
of the forced resumption of specie
payments. There can be doubt OF
that. There is a large class of people
who say, "Pay specie for your notes
when you are able, and have the spe.
Gle onihand : but not before" To at
tempt to do it will cause impoverish.
ment and ruin. 1t paralyzes business
for long season before. 1t is in It's
nature an unjust undertaking, 1t car
not be performed. The people may
differ as to the expediency of issuing
more money, but they do not and can
not differ as 10 the expediency of al
our paper money being in greenbacks
and that specie resumption should bt
indefinitely postponed.
The repeal of the National Bank
Bill and the Specie Resumption Ac
by the Democratic House would, o.
course, raise sharp antagonism be-
tween it and the United States Senate
and the President. The sharper the
better. 1t would simplify the issue
amazingly as between the National
Banks and the reenbacks-between {
forced and natural resumption. Eve
Try Democrat in Congress voted
:against the latter, and we want to SEE
the "hard money" Democrats who will

we say that there are two things the
House should do-repeal the Resump

Two ex-senator of Mississippi haye
undertaken to explain the result of the
late election, and curiously enough,
although they are both Republicans,
they disagree in accounting for the de-
feat of their party. Mr.. Pease attri-
bntes the Democratic victory to the
system of intimidation adopted by that
party. Bands of armed men, he says,
paraded the country, with pieces Of
artillery, striking terror into the hearts
of the colored people; and armed
Democrats had way of dropping in
at Republican meetings with their RI
flies and revolvers, and looking around
to see who was pl esent wiiha solemn,
stare that convinced the negro audi
tors that they would be much more
comfortable at home. Mir. Rcvels,
who is himself a gentleman OF color,
asserts that the Republican party was
beaten because, the people of his race
have grown tired OF the ''unprincipled
adventures" who have SO long as.
sumeu TO lead them. They were de-
tcrimincd 10 break ireia the iniellactu-
al bon,laGe which these denlagoeucs
desired 10 pcrpetuate. and rose against
all men known to be incompetent and
| dishonest. The ex-senator does not
look Lpon the result OF the election as
defeat i'll any sense, but as victory
for the better elements OF the people,
lie very naively declarcs: 81 cannot
recognize, nor do the masses OF my
p ople " lIo read rccoozizc the majori
y of officials who have been in power

! We do not believe that Republican
ism means corruption, theft and en-
beZzlement. These three offenses have
been prevalent among great portion
of our effice-hoiders." This cNpiana.
tion has the merit of being new, while
that offered by ex-senator Pease is AL
old story and was rehearsad alter 8
