The following resolution was
unanimously adopted at meeting
Of the Butler Guards battalion, OF
Charleston, on Monday night:
Resolved, That the Butler Guards
have In their respective companies
members out of employment who
are willing to fill any place or posi-
ton, or act In any capacity that may
be- needed, and that their employ
ment be respectfully urged upon our
merchants and business men in pref
erence to Republicans.
The Neos and Courier, In defend.
ing this resolution, says: "It is to
the interest OF every employer to
give them and their co-workers a
distinct and marked preference over
those who are not with u.s.. or are
openly against US. This is prefer
ence, not prescription. To this they
are entitled, and unless the line be
sharply and quickly drawn between
friend and foe, we shall not deserve
success. AS long as the agents and
tools Of thieves and rioters stand on
equal footing, among Democrats,
with Industrious and peaceable citi-
zens, so long will thieves he elected
to Office and rioters be heroes. AS
long as those who sustain and en-
courage tho crew who have done
their utmost to ruin the State are
fed and clothed and lodged by the
very people whom their leaders per-
secute and rob, SO long will the Bow
ems and Buttzes in Charleston, and
the Whittmores elsewhere, find votes
enough to keep them In office.

engaged In one Of. the most degra.
ding political prescriptions ever

silent till two women, who have
nerved themselves for the occasion
with copious draughts, fall of the
roof Of the carriage to which they
have climbed. Thereupon every
one laughs.

is sleeping quietly. The turnkey
shakes him by the shoulder; he
opens his eyes, turns over; and Is
again composing himself to sleep
when the Governor says:
"Gervais, your appeal is rejected.

They are not opposed to paying the laborer for

in their zeal to play the role of denagogues,

can fathom their disgraceful and Transparent

Was it Simply a Biunder?

Tiie developments in the matter of the es-
cape of Caleb z. Marsh, are not at all sooth-
ing to MIR. Clymer, or his Democratic sympa-
thizers and defenders. The district attorney
reports that in the discharge OF Marsh and
with no witness to corroborate his statement,
it will be impossible to indict General Belknap.
The release of Marsh by Mr.. Clymer, was more
! than a blunder. 1t has all the appearance OF
| criminal design. The stage acting of Mt. ely
r,er, as chairman of the Investigating Commits
tee, in recommending to the House the I'M
parchment Of cabinet officer before the SEN
ate, for high crimes and misdemeanors, ON the
unsupported testimony Of Marsh; his sup
preston of debate on the subject by moving
the previous question, after the discharge of
Marsh, against the protest OF a Republican
/ member OF the committee, and his escape into
Canada, go to establish the presumption tina t
partizan purposes have controlled in the eil-
tire proceedings. After reciting these facts,
the Washington Chronicle Of the 1lth, con-
cludes:
And the facts daily developing would seem
to imply that an additional motive still more
potential may have had its influence. 1t now
appears that these Marshes could have given
important testimony in relation to the Pen
| Observation-Disclosures branch OF this transaction.
| And their absence is IS necessary for the
preservation of the fair fame of these lumna-
ries Of the Democratic party as for their own
safety from just punishment OF the confessed
giver Of brides.
