The Social Science Convention, at Sara

A paper was read before it on ill-eff; cts OF
Government interference. Such staunch

North should study to mind its own bust

of Federal politicians in Southern State

SONG or AMERICA AND MINOR LYRIcs-DY
/ v. yoLDo.
Cloth, 200 pages, price, s1.00 This vol
ume Of poems which one Of the reviewers
calls - literary event Of the centennial
year, !" is full ofthe master strokes ofgenius
Since the Interpretation Of the muse must
ever be dcarer to liberty than the tnterprcta'
ton of the sword, we cannot but regret that
while the air is full of voices bymning the
century, so few true songs ofAmerica are to
be found among them.
| This author comes before the world in the
stateliness of the patriotic scholar, In the
passion and tenderness of the poet.
The book is divided into five 1cantos-The
Unwrttten, Silence, the Red Race, Columbia,
Tomorrow. In the fourth canto, liberty is
introduced as 1.-THE new maiden.s savior to
be-"
She appears in flashes of light, and depth
Of storm cloud, beautiful, but never real
lied ideal. No eyes have beheld the full
glory of her.
"Some saw but the sweep of her hair,
As she flashed through the tremulous air,
As she fled like an arrow of fire,
Others caught sounds-as o Tyre, &C."
1t is kind of sky painting that makes one
look up to see If glimpse of the fair thing
can be caught as she flashes athwart the
heavens.
The last canto shows that the tomorrow,
or future of the republic, rests upon the
wisdom and virtue of its men and women,
and their humble obedience to the law Of
light and love. The song fll]fills its own
prophesy, at which all things are called
upon to rejoice. The last canto ends thus
30 song, 0 metaphors of praise,
Climb ye, and applaud her ways,
Till the sun smiles rapture smitten, the stars
Take up and on the vital bars,
Glad'ning the heavens; till theair
To the everlasting coasts Of her,
Be younger for the blssful prayer,
For red life's unfathomable stir,
The light-haired happy clouds awning,
Happier for this song to sing.
Appeared to Gods intermiDable place,
To the world-gamuts ofTh' Almighty heights
To the vocal, inextinguishable Lights
Till exaltation penetrates all space"

THE HORRORS OF BULGARIA.

The massacres of barbarous ages are re.
peated by the Turks in this enlightened
day. The cruelties perpetrated in Bul garia
are horrible in the extreme. A cores
pondent Of the London "News" writes that
in Bulgaria the Turks picked infants ur
out of their cradles upon their bayonets
tossed them in the air, caught them again
and flung them at the heads of their
shrieking mothers. Russian soldiers were
tied to trees and roasted, and females were
outraged and fayed alive. There are cir
cumstantial accounts of butcheries perpe-
trated upon women and children, which
cannot be rehearsed in public prints. A
priest, eighty-fve years of age, was tor
tured to death and burned before the altar,
and an old blind man beaten and burned
alive. The horrible details of Turkish
cruelties and butcheries are sckening.
As the Turkish Government relies on
the British Government g. leatly for sup
port, in case Russia should intervene in
behalf Of Servia, and Herzegovina, what
will the British Parliament have to say
now, after such reckless cruelty? These
stories of cruelties come from all quarters,
and from people who profess to have seen
the horrors narrated. With all allowance
for exaggeration and for mistakes, it seems
impossible that all this should be false. If
true, the cruelties perpetrated in Bulgaria,
are as horrible as the historic ravsges of
the Palatinate.

should be brought down and sold at prices
commensurate with the low rates Of wages

The sad condition Of things IN South
Carolina is fearful to contemplate, and tl,t
root Of the great evil is the unqualified
suffrage and universal ignorance Of the
negroes Under negro rule there is nc
punishment for offenses, the execution Of
the law being most doubtful thing, even
IN cases of conviction. Murderers and
incendiaries are Get free by negro juriea
and suffered to run unpunished. An indie
pendent Northern observer who has spent
much time in the South, and who has
abundant opportunities and leisure to
obtain clear understanding Of social and
political life under negro supremacy says,
that the negroes are inclined to treat the
idea of punishment by law as the notion
ofthe whites on par with that Of holding
them as slaves, and that as the North
winked at their escapes when they were
slaves, and proclaimed them free when the
chance came, that SO they are keeping up
the appearance of courts and punishments
for forms sake, but not because offenses
are really to be punished if it can be
avoided. He says that the seed of this
evil was sown when an unqualified suffrage
was given to so ignorant and indiscreet
people. The military rule also helps
and aggravates the evil, and in the present
negro courts justice is rarely reached and
never summarily punished. Negro courts
and juries are curses to the country. The
best thing for the country, he says, is to
keep the military away. The military |
cannot keep the country out Of state Of
anarchy, but greatly helps to keep it in
such a condition, by sustaining negro
courts and juries. Before enfranchising
the negro, he should have been educated
and taught to understand that citizenship |
and property were both to be worked for,
to be justly earned. The root Of all the
evil of misgovernment in South Carolina
is the unqualified suffrage and universal
ignorance of the negroes.
