Gen. Hampton, in his sraesh at

pie, the latter must not resist, but bare
their breasts and be willing to die for
the good of the country.

THE PRESS.


1t has become the department of the
statesman, and, when directed by men Of
enlightened conscience and broad views,
it is the palladium and shield of free
republic.
Mr.. President: rise with great diff
dence to discharge the unwonted duty
assigned to me by the stewards in re.
spending to the sentiment, "The Press"
Only those who by practical experience
know its difficulties and engrossing cares
can properly appreciate the force of the
compliment which you have paid to this
most important professor.
We who enjoy its services, who receive
from the press, properly arranged and
digested, the news from every quarter of
the world, who read the essence of the
thoughts which pervade the public mind,
who feel the benefits of that irrigation of
the currents of opinion which is daily
permeated through the community in the
channels of the daily paper, who are out
side of the profession and perceive only
the results, stand amazed at the growth
of the power aud of the influence of the
press. :,
Who can estimate the potency for good
of we'll regulated newspaper? Who
can measure its omnipotence for evil ?
It penetrates into our domestic privacy
it sits at our fre.sides, familiar COM
panion. 1t addresses itself to the pas
sions, hopes, prejudices, the fears, the
pride and the weaknesses of our nature.
A silent monitor of daily and constant
repetition, it instils into the recesses of
our hearts the lessons which it brings.
The press has been called the fourth
estate, and it has thus been likened to
coordinate branch in our legislative as
semblies. 1t is more than this. It's the
embodied representative of the all-perva-
ding public opinion, before whose sway
the loftiest dignitaries and highest intel
lects in democratic communities, at
times, must bow with reverence; which
controls all branches of the government,
debating its own terms, and inexorably
enforcing its high behests. 1t is the
great tribune of the people, rejecting the
character and intelligence, the passions
and the will of the sovereign power of
the State.
Indeed, it is this characteristic of the
press which restrains its tendency of Ii
centiousness, and which will prevent it
from becoming an irremedial evil. As it
in great measure controls, so in time it is
controlled by public opinion, and when
it ceases to command the confidence and
to reflect the convictions of the people, it
loses its power.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1876-04-06

tions, which has Spencer's case before it.,
to whitewash that political adventurer !;
and, if it is possible to suppress or reject
evidence enough to render decision in
his favor possible, it will certainly be
done. The evidence already given would
serve to convict him before any impartial
tribunal; and more testimony is coming.
GENERAL sCHENcK
made very creditable appearance before
the Committee of Foreign Affairs of the
House yesterday; and it may be posi-
BILE that he has, at the most, been guilty
Of an indiscretion. At all events, his
offence is less venal than some known to
have been committed by Grant, Babcock
& Co.
MORE REPUBLICAN FRAUDS.
The Interior Department has been
filed with jobs upon which thieves, big
and little, from Delano and his son,
John, down to the chief clerk just dis
missed, have fattened. The startling dis
closures of fraud in the Land Office and
Indian Bureau, just brought to light, are
likely to lead to the criminal indictment
of ofseveral radical officials, among them
ex-Commissioner Smith, of the Indian
Bureau, and possibly Delano himself.

I will hopel AS my ideal of perfect
woman, blessed with the sweet assurance
of your love, I will enshrine your image
in my heart, and trusting in the power
of love, yet hope to win, not conquer,
the proud Southern girl to be my wife.
MI desperandum' is henceforth my mot
to-"
The naughty, proud look had faded
from the face of the Southern girl, as her
ears hearkened to the rich tones of her
lovers voice, and her heart-her treach-
erous woman's heart-was made glad by
the eloquent love it breathed fer her.
But she only shook her head sadly, and,
rising, said:
"The mists and shades of evening
would remind us it is time to return to
the Hall"
The walk to the house was in sad ST.
lence, and it was relief to the lovers to
be met on the piazza steps by Harry, who
had returned home. Harry was in good
spirits, and said he had made most
delightful visit to his city friends. He
met Hubert affectionately, seemed to
ignore his ever having been his foe, and
expressed with generous warmth his
gratitude for the kindnesses rendered his
brother, his mother and sister. Harry
was pure specimen of the true soldier
loving and admiring a brave man in foe
as we'll as friend.
CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK.
