note which lie had been reading at arms

Mrs. Liston felt that full forgiveness
from her husband was now impossible.
The dextrous skill with which he had
avoided exposing her to Charlotte did
not soften her and feeling Of revenge
was enkindlcd towards Charlotte, whose
hesitation to become the victim Of her
unfeeling plans bad placed herself in so
much lower grade in Mr.. Listens eyes,
and at the same time had frustrated
scheme which she had long been cngen-
dering But she exercised the disin-
gushing trait Of her character. in fully
reprcsslng any manifestations Of her
feelings, and was, if possible, more kind
than ever to Charlotte.
AS for Charlotte she was all happi-
ness. Every days sun went down upon
the fullness Of her joy. Elliston was

their marriage until sixmonth. at least,

TILDEN AND HENDR.eKs.

There was never, in the memory of liv-
and vice presidency as this nominated at S..
LOUIS. There was never one so thoroughly
adapted to.the necessities of the country,
to the year-the centennial year of Ameri-
can freedom-and to the exigencies of
republican liberty. Samuel ]. Tilden was
born at New Lebanon, in the county OF
Columbia, S ate of New York, III 1914
Thomas Andrews Hendricks WAS born in
Muskingum county, Ohio, in 1919. These
two stand first among the grandest intel
lects of our age and the countrJ, and the
personal characters of these two men are
fultless. Tilden was educated at Yale and
Hendricks at Hanover College-both dis
tinguished when undergraduates for great
intellectual ability. Each has been chief
magistrate of his State, and Hendricks
shone iHustrious among American Senators
when the Senate was constituted Of giants.
Such names have not adorned ticket for
the presidency and vice presidency since
James Madison was chosen to the high
office, and if there be Republicans who
love their country and honor the fathers
who framed its organic law and gave shape
10 its Institutions, however ardent their de-
Votion to party, they must confess that
never did body of representative men acl
more wisely than the Convention at st.
Louis. The ticket and platform are alike
faullless, and their overthrow is simply inn
possible. .s..

NoRTH CARoIINA contains, we believe,
the siugle great depository of mica slate
used in commerce in the United States
The demand for it is rapidly augmented as
we see every day in hardware and drug es-
adjustments. People have thought it
strange that this mica slate is found in
many 'Indan mounds" west of the Missis-
slppi, and the impression prevails that it
was obtained in n ,rth C lrolna and trans
ported thence In prehistoric times 1t
seems, however, that the commodity

like that of Henry 4. Wise, on the editO-

ment when the youthful rebel soldier
evoked the very soul of Beethoven
from the instrument that reso unded

Waterson's first and last appearance among
soldiers. He out generated them, since he
won every woman's heart by his elegant ac-
complshments and matchless wit; but he
won no title and would have none. He is
representative editor of America and IN
him the profession of journs lism and rot

TILDEN eliminates from the contest all
issues save that of reform. Hayes's kind
illness and personal and moral character
render his assumption of the office of re-
former wholly impossible. Moreover, he
cannot betray his adherents whose leaders
are lifelong placeinen and barnacles. Til
den's enemies in the Democratic party are
the thieves and Tammanyites of the party.
His election is their final exclusion from
Office, and in their hostility is found the
necessity aud jmpelling force for the ad-
hesion of the great multitude of working
people who find their substance and pro-
ducts of toll swiftly absorbed by costly ma
chinery of rapidly multiplied governments
and multiplied place holders. In truth the
victory was already lost, from the begin
ming. if the battle were not waged on a
distinctively reform issue. 1t was in an
ticlpation of issues to be presented by Til
den's nomination that Hayes was nomina-
ted, and on these issues he must necessarily
be beaten. 1t was the sublimest folly ever per-
thrown down by Democracy when it threat
eued to nominate Tilden. GA any other is
sue than this of which Tilden is the imper
sonation and which Hayes was set:up to
meet, Democracy would have been beaten.
The word Democracy, in this campaign,
has new significance and its triumph is
the reduction of public burdens and restora-
ton of the Federal government to Its origi-
nal simplicity and its operation TO original
cheapness. 1t results that the barnacles and
thieves and plunderers and Tammany Dem
ocrAcy are hostile to Tilden and must adhere
to Hayes. The contest therefnre determines
a curious inquiry; whether the be more
honest people than knaves IN the United
States and whether the people would prefer
to pay. eighteen dollars per capita to The
Federal Treasury to Democratic Tilden
Federal tax of three dollars That's the is
sue and the pluaderei, Impoverished telling
people are to determine it.

TIE JURY BILL passed the Senate yester-
day with only five dissenting voices. 1t
goes to the House with certainty of success,
for we cannot believe that within the last
nine years public opinion has in the least
crystalized about the political heresies
which have been forced upon the Country.
Texas, in this centennial year, has reason
to again rel ice, as its people even now re-
jnica over the nomination of TIlden and
Hendricks, at the prospect of second
emancipation, one of freedom from perse-
cutions at the jury box, and of ignorance
controlling the destinies of men, and the
law of the land. They can now look for
ward TO purcr days, when courts will be
clothed with dignity and honor, and the
verdict of a jury be recognized as the meas
ure of justice.

THE Age says that life is safer in ARR ma
or III robber-cursed Mexico than in Texas,
and that the fact is due to the weakness
and timidity of the Legislature and to
wretched encapable juries and sheriffs and
courts who habitually turn loose those ''hon-
blood. There should be no apology for murG-
er, save in wrong done women. Mere words,
since the Constitution prohibits duelling and
there can be no fair, honest fighting, can

nominated in reference to remed yug the
fearful vices of Grants government. If we
speak of the Belkhaps of Grants reign,
R.dicalism points to II tyes and swears he
Is no Grant; but when we say that Grants
chosen people would still monopolize offices
under Hayes, and that there Can be no re-
folm under such a system, with such master
spirits, the voice of the Radical refurmer
glides upward to higher key to open the
Pandora box in which poor Blaine keeps
the bloody shirt. The nomination of
Tildep puts bloody-mInded Ridicalism in
an awkward attitude before the country. 1t
must learn new trit k, make new speeches,
and address itself to worthier themes. 1t
must let the South rest, sing softly OF S I'M
bo's woes and of his bank, and even pre-
tend to desire the reproduction of honesty
in government. But the setting up of this
pretence of reform is fearful criticism
upon Grant, constituting confession of his
enOImities.
