1t was a noteworthy thing,
and one which the howlers of
Southern outragcs" should re-
member, that in the negro riot
in Charleston, the other night,
where the Republican blacks
sought to break up the meeting
of the colored Democrats, one
thousand white citizens of
Charleston formed a guard, and
protected those who were trying
to break it up. This becomes
the more significant when we
consider that it took place in
the city of Charleston, and at
the very time that Governor
Chamberlain was in Washing
ton asking for troops to pro-
tect' the men who caused the
outrage. These are strange
days.

Didn't Stand the Test.

A young man read in the Led
ger a few days ago that if you
wanted to find out if the woman
you had selected o"your future
spouse has a good temper, you
ought to take occasion to step
on her dress, or snap the sticks
of her fan, or in some other way
annoy or discompose her. off"
said the great authority who
presided over the column Of adj
vice, eff she betrays no sign Of
iIl-temper she will be a model
wife" Accordingly the young
man seized an opportunity when
she was rugged in her most kill
ing array to step on her trail,
and pulled out about three yards
of gathers, with a rip like a peal
ofthunder, exposing aboutthree-
quarters of the frame work that
makes her dress stickout behind.
But, instead of meeting the
accident with perfect equanimi-
ty, she turned round and jabbed
her parasol into his eye, called
him a lunk headed leper, and
asked HIM why he didn't wear
his feet sideways. He express
ed himself as thankful that he
didn't marry the girl before find
ing out what sort of temper she
had.

LOVERS QUARRELS.
BY MUSA DUNN,

The merriest, sweetest thing on earth
Is a lovers quarrel
Without foundation, wisdom, worth,
Without sense, or moral.
How sweet to get mad at trihes,
Fall out and part,
And wildly rave, yet all the time
Not know what about.
How sweet TO weep in secret,
And vow your heart is broken;
Demand return Of notes and rings,
And every loving token.
How sweet to nearly starve yourself,
And grow so very pale,
And cough, and spit, and VOW and think
Your health is going to fail.
How sweet to grow so listless,
How sweet to really cry,
How sweet to calmly pelsuader youself
That you are going to die.
And oh how sweet, when those two meet
And VOW to forget the past,
Such things are, such things will be,
As long as youth shall last.

New York News: One word,
Just here, about that Hamburg
affair. The Attorney.General Of
South Carolina has postponed the
trial of those engaged in it, until
the January term Of the court,
though the counsel of the accused
parties protested against the post
ponement and demanded an i'm
mediate hearing The truth is,
the Republican party dares not
face, before the coming elections,
the revelations that this trial will
unearth, concerning the carpet
bag rule that party has set up in
South Carolina. A trial would
take away all the capital this ai-
fair has made for the slander.mlll
organs.

Colored Men
Who Vote the Democratic Ticket
Demand Protection.

| Demand Protection.
As an evidence of the fact
that it is Republicans who prac-
tice intimidation in the South,
and in proof of the charge that
all the troubles between the ra-
ces in the Southern States, are
brought about by designing Re
publican politicians who use
the negroes as their tools, the
followingaccountof the Charles
ton Riot, from the New York
Herald, is conclusive:
In every Southern State the
colored voters are joining Til
den and Hendricks Clubs. In
Alabama and Arkansas they
went peacefully to the polls and
voted the Democratic ticket by
thousands. It is evident that
the negroes have learned, that
under Democratic rule, as in
Georgia, Arkansas and Alaba-
ma, their property is protected,
and their rights guarded, while
in those States under Radical
rule, they are used by political
adventurers for their own ends.
They are therefore joining the
Democratic party in large num-
bers, in every Southern State.
The Republican leaders have
become alarmed at this defec-
tion, and the order has gone
forth to stop it, by blocdshed
if necessary. AttOrney-Gener-
al Taft has issued an order in
tended to convince the negroes
of the power Of the Admins
tration to enforce its will.
Twenty thousand stands of arms
are sent to Charleston. The
riot of yesterday is the first re-
suit of this policy. Every col
ored Democrat is marked man,
and threatened with death. The
National Democratic Commit
tee are in the daily receipt of
letters from colorcd men in the
South, saying that they are e.
ven refused communion III their
churches if they vote the Dem
ocratic ticket. One colored man
writes: "We have to be very
secret; If 1t were known that
We were Democrats, our wives
would refuse to live with us."
Negro Democratic speakers are
threatened with assassination,
and a reign of terror is inaugu-
rated, with the deliberate pur-
pose Of checking the express
sion of Democratic sentiment
among the negroes.
That there is no conflict be-
tween the negro and the white
races in the South, except such
as is created and kept alive by
Republicans for political pur-
poses, is absolutely proven by
the harmony existing between
the races wherever the DemOc-
racy is in the ascendency.

lie gave his name, residence
occupation, etc., and then. Mr.
Shipman placed the will in his
hand.
'Mr. Goodrich, will you please
examine that document?"
81 have done so, sir"
"What is the written date
of that will?"
"September 9th, 1S4f," an
swered- the witness, reading
from the instrument. s
"Now, Mr.. Goodrich, will
you please inform the jury and
court, if you observe anything
else in or upon that paper which
you hold in your hand, that
would possibly affect the relia-
bility of that written date.
Make-yeur own statement, in
your own way; only make it
concise and clear"
"Your Honor, and gentlemen
of the jury" commenced the
witness, "this piece of paper
which [ now hold in my hand
was manufactured by myself,
and was calendered upon a ma
chine of my own invention.
The waterlines, in place of the
ordinary blue ruling, was inclu-
ded in my improvement. You
will also observe, upon close
inspection-though the ink up
on the surface has somewhat
obscured Tiny own stamp in
water marks. Your Honor can
examine it for yourself"
The judge took the docu-
ment and held it up against the
strong light, and involuntalily
he read aloud, so as to be heard
by all i'll the room-for every
breath was hushed-"H. Good
rich,s patent. Eighteen hum
dred and forty-threer'
eyes, your Honor" broke in
Goodrich, whose professional
integrity was now in the bal
ance, 81 can solemnly swear
that that sheet Of paper was
not made until at least two
years after the date of the in
strument which has been writ
ten upon its face"
The paper was given to the
jury, who were all upon their
feet. Arnold's counsel de-
manded to see it. Mr.. Cloud
man and his vile got up and
tried to leave the room, but
were prevented. Judge and
bar were in a state of ferment;
whilst the dense audience
swayed to and fro in eager,
painful suspense. Would this
old mans testimony have its le-
gitimate weight?
Ah, how could it be other
wise? There was witness
more potent to an intelligent
court and jury than speech of
tongue. The contest will be
borne in its very inmest heart
in its "heart of hearts''-em-
phatic evidence of the base lie
upon its written face. Other
witnesses were called-one pa
per-maker and two paper deal
ers-but the thing was settled.
The water-hne date of the pa
per was evidence enough. A
little while and the judge gave
his charge-about as brief a
charge as | ever heard. A lit
tie while and we knew the or
phans were the true and legally
established heirs Of Jacob Ames'
fortune. | will not attempt to
describe the scene that followed.
Suffice it for me to say, that the
perjured parties were severely
punished, while the sun of Joy
and gladness cast its gracious
beams upon the beloved and
gracious sisters.
