laying road commencing near the

the town line, coming out at VIM. S.

How People should Marry.

The census returns show that the number
of girls born nearly equals the humber Of
boys, which proves coneluayely that Iaan is en-
titled to only one wife ct time. This fact being
known, and the question arising "under what
circumstances or for what causes may . min
lister refuse to solemnize q marriagep Il
hight be said that he could reasonably refuse
to marry q divorced person except when the
marriage vows have been broken, or when
the different modes Of thinking and OF Ifs
and habits would preclude the probability Of 9
happy union, for so great would be the chssm
between them that TO unite them would be 0
moral wrong. He should not solemniZe the
marriage rites between a pure girl and man
whose life has been debauched, and who has
forfeited his shield to his manhood. Neither
should q couple when either are addicted
10 excessive drink be united. A foolish
person on general principles should not be
ioined with another for life, for, as It Is well
Known, the fool killer Is scarcely able to per-
form the duties already allotted to him, and,
besides, under the doctrine Of evolution, too

We Must Fraserntze or Fight.

This solemn truth stares the American peo-
pie in the face to-day. No other interpreta-
ton can be placed upon the events thst are
passing. ..' ~
The South, under the guidance of South
eru Democrats and with the advice Of
Northern Bourbons, rebelled, and the North,
lead by the Republican party, aDnihilsted
that rebellion. Ever since then the Southern
people have been lsboring under deep chsgrin
at their Overwhelming defeat, and the North
has been viewing their every action with sus-
picion and distrust. This condition of things
must cease before prosperity and permanent
peace can come 10 the country. F.
The people of two powerful sections con-
stantly looking at each other through jsun-
diced eyes means ultimate internecine war
and dlsfntegration. How, then, can this dan
gerous state of affairs be reconciled ? There
is but one way. That is the dissemination
in sincerity and honesty of the two elements
which met face toface on the battlefield.
These two elements srethe Southern Democrats
and the Northern aud Southern Republicans.
The Copperhead Democracy was sneaking,
canting, insidious, treacheroRs element, re-
spectei neither at home nor abroad, in the

on Southern Democrats, and certainly none
on the Republican party. except its scornful
contempt. 1t acted as q coWsrdly, passive
element during the war; 1t must act as 9
minus quantity in the determination of the two
other elements now.
Sensible men begin TO see the necessity Of
this new departure. They see that this sec
tional bitterness must cease or the Republic
will die. The crime Of rebellion was q terrible
crime, but the sin of this continued sectional
hate is almost of equal eriminality, as It is
doing slowly what the rebellion attempted to
do by bold and sudden blow-it is sapping
the life blood Of the nation.
Southern craftsmanship, if wise, will seize
the opportunity offered them in this crisis to
obliterate forever their alliance with the riff
raft clement of Copperhead Democracy, whose
counsels led them into war, and whose cow
ardice can never bring them peace.
With this alliance broken, 1t will be easy to
form a satisfactory coalition between the
North and South on the basis of civil liberty
and full equality before the law to all citizens,
irrespective of race, color, or previous con-
dition of servitude. This determination will
bring peace and rest to our distracted country.
Without it, the Republic must inevitably die.

The Question OF the Hour,

There is but one great question to be settled
in the present political controversy, and 1t is
the only one that should attract the attention
of the American people. That question is,
Have the newly-emancipsted race in the
South received the blessings of civil liberty
and equality before the law guaranteed to
them by the Constitution ?" This is the su-
preme question of the hour. The elective
franchise privilege is the bulwsrk Of the
American citizen. Prevent the full and free
exercise OF this constitutional right, and you
rob the citizen of that which alone makes re-
publican government possible. The ballot is
the Americans safeguard against all the po-
litical and social evils which beset q ma
tion's welfare. Make void the power Of
this elective instrument, and individual
security and the safety of our national
institutions are st once imperIled. 1t is an
imperative necessity, therefore, for the preser-
walton Of a republican government, that
the freedom of this franchise privilege remain
inyiolste from the assaults of force and fraud.
Before this vital question that of "Who is to
be PRESIDENT" pales iAto insignihcance. If
any American citizen, no matter how humble
or how great, has been debarred from exer-
cisiDg all the rights conferred upon him by
the Constitution it is an insult to the spirit of
both national and personal freedom, and g
grievous wrong which must be punished. In
Mississippi fifty thousand American citizens
were deprived of their franchise rights by
fraud and intimidation. In some places 1t
was q forcible deprivation, in others It was
secured by intimidation in various ways. In
Louisiana, Florida, and South Carolina his
tory records the same condition Of affairs.
In the face Of these impressive facts American
citizens should not be quarreling about whether
the Democracy or the Republicans shall
have the ascendency through the technical
ties of electoral certificates and the laws gov
erniDg Returning Boards, for 1t is 9 psltry
question compared to the one IN which the
dearest rights of the citizen are deeply con-
cerned. Shall an American citizen, in the
exercise of his franchise rights, be as safe in
Mississippi or Louisiana as he is in the Com
monwealths of New England Is the momen-
tous question of the hour. If we desire peace
and continued life Of the Republic we must
have freedom at the polls. 1t Is in the power
of the great Republican party to solve this
question now, and settle 1t forever. VIII 1t
insist with iron will and unbending courage
that wherever the constitutional rights of the
citizen have been asssiled by intimidation and
fraud the punishment shall be q notification
of the vote, according to the law establishing
he Returning Boards? This Is the only pun
ishment that can be constitutioDally inflicted
now. This, in the name of citizenship rights,
must be inflicted at all hazards.

IN THE recent election Hon. L. Cass Car
penter was the Republican nominee for Con-
gress in the Third South Carolina district.
His opponent was q notorious Granger and an
avowed advocate of the "shot-gu policy" Of
the name Of Wyatt Aiken. By means Of mur-
der, intimidation, repeating, ballot box stufing
and the importation Of voters from Georgia
and North Carolina, Colonel Carpenter was
counted out by q majority Of nearly three
thousand votes. For weeks previous to the
election Hampton's rough riders pstrolled the
highways of the Third district, carrying terror
and dismsy to the stoutest hearts, and 50
glaring was the intimidation that even such
Democrats as Butler, Of massacre fame, ad-
nitted that the negroes had been successfully
terrorized and kept from the polls. In short,
the election in that district was q mere farce,
and the opinion is general that even Q Demo-
cratic House viii not fail TO accord Colonel
Carpenter his seat when the fraudulent man
ner whereby he was counted out is laid bare.

Alexander HI. stephens Prophecy.

Alexander Il. Stephens does not advise the
South to give. a friendly acceptance to the in
suguration Of hayes, neither does the ven
cradle statesman advise them to offer armed
resistance; but he does tell them not to submit
to the declaration of the Electoral College.
This, It will be perceived at once, nfts the
Southern people to the fence, and leaves
them at the mercy of 9 very uncomfortable
position. This renowned Georgian believes
that the Senate will declare Hayes elected, and
the House will withdraw and elect Tilden,
and then appeal to the country to support
them in their revolutionary action. What
lies beyond this Mr.. Stephens is not prepared
to say. There are many who believe in
peaceful solution of ,this.question, while others
honestly believe that It can only be settled by
an appeal to arms. To which Of these does

The Bourbon War Horses Lagg1ng.

The Southern Democracy have shown no
hostile spirit in the grave complications which
beset the nations welfare. They have re-
mained silent, and seem determined to pass as
8 neutral element In the strife. The Northern
wing on the other hand have been bitter, ag-
gressive and stirred with contentious spirit.
They thought they could bully the Republi-
can party into submission, and deprive them
of victory by force and fraud. They have dis
covered their mistake, and their war spirit
bends and weakens before the firm resolve Of
the loyal masses to secure what they have
fairly won. Evidence of this emollition can
be seen everywhere, and by the 5th of March
these men will arm themselves with white kid
gloves, swallow-tail coats and clean pocket
handkerchiefs, and gather quietly about the
Nations Capital to witness the inaugural cere-
monies Of the Republican President. There
will be no war, for the party that has power
on its side will also have peace.
