" SING TIE INGLEslDE FOR ME.


v. ST. AK.
When the evening shadows gather
Darkly on the soft gray walls,
When, without, npOn the silence,
Some ones passing footstep falls;
When the curtains all are gathered
And the lamps are lit for tea,
Think of one who sat beside YOU
Think OF one who thinks OF thee.
And when Others cluster round you,
When you sit, at eveningiide
In the Temple Of thy Priestess-
Music-and thy hand shall glide
O'er the keys in golden cadence,
Sing what they may ask of theei
BUT. when theirs are done, dear Mamie,
Sing the " Ingleside for me.
Sing it as you used to sing it
When your ewes looked into mine.
Filled with all their mystic music
Aud thy gilt of song divine.
Bat should Others ever ask you
II the song is known TO thee,
Answer nothing-sing some Other
Keep the "Ingleside" for me.
] should never ask this Of Thee
We're il not, dear little friend,
That 10 know thou didst il COR me
Would 10 life beauty lend,
Such rs golden Summer sunsets
Lend 10 the land and sea;
Sing for others what they ask you
Keep the "lngleside'' for me.
Often, when you fingered idly,
IN the room | love so we'll, .tl..
Since twas thine) I've cat and watched 20
When the slanting sunbeams fell
On the oosened chestnut glory
OF your hair, that, falling free,
Hid the dear lips that so sweetly
Sang the "lnglesiee' for NE.
And my heart bowed down before you,
Touched to something almost pain,
BY the voices magic sweetness,
Soft and low as Summer rain
Falling on the silver surface
OF some purple sun-lit sea.
All. twas worth a world TO hear thee
Sing the "Inglesidc" for me.
But "sonc day" in the hereafter,
Some day in the future years,
You will miss me from the loved ones
Whom vOur music touched to tears
When lhat day shall come, deaT Mamie,
Draw my vacant chair near thee,
Aud when il is close beside you,
Sing the "lngleside" for nc.
Sing il as YOU sang it for me
In the sunny Summer days,
When learned to love thy music,
Thee. and all thy soft sweet ways;
But should others ever ask you
II the song is known TO thee,
Answer nothing-sing some other

COLUMBIA, Oct. 11th, 1876.
The result Of the elections held ycster-
dag in Indiana and Ohio is still unccr.
tain az this hour-twelye m. There IL
no doubt that a heavy vote has been
pol.ed on both sides, and that great ac-
tiyity prevailed UP to the latest moment.
Notwithstanding the interest manifested
by every voter in those States, and the
excitement naturally attendant upon
such vigorous campaign, the elections
were quietly and peaceably conducted,
and there are no reports Of disorder in
either State.
The returns so far received indicate
that Ohio has gone for the Republicans.
and that the Democrats have carried
Indiana, and in each instance there -
heavy poll and decided majority. This
Is the view of the present outlook taken
by the New York HcruM, and the one
which is generally adopted. The noon
dispatches OF the Associated Pres. NAV
furnish more decided and definite infor.
nation rs to the result in these States.
The Wheeling Register gives the Dem
cratic majority in Vest Virginia Mt from
six to eight thousand.

MY DEAR SIR: am just in receipt of

For the last three or four months | have
not been in any of the counties but those
of sumter and Richland. Within that
period have been present at only two
political meetings-one held by the Re-
publican party and the other to-day mt
this place by the Democrats. Although
| was at the latter but short time. was
for the greater part of the day in the
streets, with every opportunity Of observ-
ing the behavior and demeanor of the
largo concourse which the occasion hnd
brough! together. The collection consis-
ted of citizens on foot and horseback. I
saw in no instance any exhibition of arms
or any behavior Inconsistent with the
strictest propriety. At the Republican
meeting to which have above referred.
there was no attempt at interruption.
l shall require very strong evidence to
satisfy me that South Carolina is an
armed camp. l know Of nothing which
would lead me so to conclude. For N.Y.
self do not know of anything which
would make me doubtful in any part of
the State of enjoying the same security
which / feel attaches TO mo under nv
own roof.
trust the day is far distant when yio-
intiOns or ine peace in our own bor,icrs
will require the interference of any arm

MY DEAR SIR: In view of the grave
charges made by Governor Chamberlain
against the Democratic party and their
mode of conducting the present canvass
in his letter to Colonel Haskell-charges
declaring that the State is an armed
camp, and that our meetings nre attended
by organized armed bodics-may ask
you, as n Republican, and as the Chief
Justice of the State, to say, if in your
observation, these charges are borne out
by the facts of the case? You saw to-day
one of the larges. meetings we have held,
and you can, therefore, speak from expe-
Iriencc and personal observation. I have
been through seventeen of the counties
of the State, and have addressed, am
sure, Mt least 100000 people, and I can
say with perfect truth that l have not
seen one single armed body of men, nor
has one disturbance occurred at any of
these vast meetings. My solicitudc for
the good name of our State will, 1 trust.
be sufficient excuse for my calling yotir
attention to this matter. Requesting an
