Troops in the South.

The 6emandIof the President
for more troops has stimulated
a representative Of the New
York Herald to inquire into the
records Of the War Department,
to find out the numbers of COM
panies stationed in the South
ern States. He finds that there
are in Texas, 45 companies of
infantry and 26 companies Of
cavalry; in Louisiana II COM
panies Of infantry; in Missip-
pi 10. companies of infantry
in South Carolina s companies
Of infantry and 2 companies of
artillery; in Florida 8 compa-
nies of artillery; in Georgia Z
companies Of infantry and 1
company of artillery; in Ala
bama 5 companies of infantry; +;
in Virginia 5 companies of ar
tillery; in North Carolina 4
companies Of artillery; in Ten
nessee 3 companies of infantry; !;
and in Arkansas 2 companies
of infantry, making a total of
138 companies.
By a strict reading Of the
law there is no authority for
the presence of troops in the
Southern States at this time.
The Supreme Court has deci-
ded that the Enforcement Act
is unconstitutional. This was
the only authority the President
had for sending portions of the
United States army to any State
in the Union, without the ap-
plication of its Governor or
Legislature, and then only
when the militia is unable to
suppress the disturbance, that
demands the interference of
Federal authority.

A Wife Votes to Hang her
Husband.
Charlotte On. c. Observer.

1t was stated in yesterdays
issue that the negro who COM
mitted the rape upon the little
white girl near Jefferson, S. c.,
has been caught near the An
son county line and taken TO
South Carolina. We learn to-
day that when the party who
had him in. charge arrived at
Jefferson, a crowd of three or
four hundred people, including
both negroes and whites, collec-
ted, and the question of hang
ing him OH the spot where the
rape was committed was dis
cussed. It was finally decided
to settle the matter by vote.
A line was drawn, and all who
were in favor of hanging were
requested to pass to one side Of
it. Every person in the crowd,
lncludlnS the VIE OF the ne
gro, came over except one.
When informed of his fate he
confessed the crime, telling the
same story as that given by the
little girl, without having heard
her report Of it. He was then
taken to a tree near by and hung
till he was dead. From all we
can hear there was no undue in
fiuence brought to bear upon
the crowd to excite their feel
ings of revenge, but that their
action throughout was that Of
men who were determined that
crime in its vilest form should
receive its reward, and that
speedily, in-order to insure pro-
lection to the people of the COM
munity.

Reputation Means Com.
muniSm.

If the State can take from g
man a bond issued by the State
which he has bought, because il
will relieve the people, then the
State has the same moral right to
take from another man the land
which he has bought and to which
the State has made a grant, and
divide it among those who have
no land and are unable to buy,
but who are willing to work it.
Repudiating the bonds issued by
the State is simply dividing them
out by force among the tax pay
ers, and is taking of mems prop
erty without theirconsenta and with.
out compensation, for the benefit
of others. A man has as much
natural and moral right to own
a bond as he has to own more
land than he can cultivate, and to
deprive him of either is commu.
nism; and is as justifable in one
case as in the other; it is not right
nor wise for the holders of one
species of property to attack
the owners of another spe-
cies; it is setting a dangerous
precedent. Ii the State can, by
force, take 25,0O0,000 of bonds
from those who purchased them
and have a good legal title, and
divide them among the tax pay
ers of the State, and this is what
reputation amounts to, then can
not the State take $25. 100000 of
land from those who own it, and
divide it out among those who
need it? The principle is the
same in both instances, and he
who can justify the one can justi.
fly the other. To this complexion
it will come at last. Beware,
property holders, of the doctrine
that some of you are advocating.
4 * & i: s: * !:
Andrew Johnson advocated the
issuance of the bonds which are
now outstanding, and in fact sign
ed S7,200,000 of them. Will
any OF his friends say that he is
sued bonds in violation Of law, or
that he permitted them to be
wrongfully sold. In his message
to the Legislature in 1855, he
spoke in the strongest terms in fa-
vor of the internal Improvement
system, which these bonds were
issued TO build, in the following
language:
"Our various works of internal
improvements are steadily and
constantly advancing by the time
ly and judicious aid of the State,
developing our hidden and latent
resources, and bearing off to the
markets of the world, at cheap
rates, the mechanical, agricult-
ural, and other products OF
the country"

Adventure Of a Conduct
Or

Conductor B-is is always po.
lite to the ladies' All conductors
are polite to ladies, particularly so
when they are young and hand
some. Miss c. was handed
on board at the station as careful
ly as though she was "glass-to
be handled with care" An extra
seat was turned over on the sha-
dy side of the car, end the con-
ductor took seat by her to do
the agreeable, having met Miss
c. on the train before.
Presently, as matters were 60
ing along nicely, an old man, in
his shirt sleeves, threw himself
into the seat in front, which the
conductor had unlocked and turn
ed over for the benefit Of the par
ties more Immediately concerned.
Mr.. B spoke up sharply:
GO away from here!
But the man did not 60.
Conductor says, still more sharp
ly:
Go away, or I'll make you'll"
But still no go, while vacant,
provoking smile, sat upon the face
of the intruder. Whereupon
Conductor B grasped the old
farmer by the nape of the neck. At
the same time the young lady
seized the arm of the conductor,
exclaiming:
"Please don't, Mr.. B.
This is my father"
Ever since Conductor B al.
ways asks young ladies if they are
travelling alone.

How to Deal with High

The Paris newspapers chron-

quote for the benefit of beIated
Tennesseeans. The othernight,

He was walking on one side of

ard unconscious Of any danger.

stunned him and laid him out;
then ran away without losing Il

This, told Of Thomas Camp
bell, is very neat, as illustrating
the sentiment with which the
authors of old days regarded
their publishers. At a literary
dinner Campbell asked leave to
propose a toast, and gave the
health Of Napoleon Bonaparte.
The war was at its height, and
the very mention of Napoleon's
name, except in conjunction
with some uncomplimentary ep-
tibet, was in most cases, regard
ed as an outrage. A storm Of
groans burst out, and Camp
bell with difficulty could get a
few sentences heard. "Gen-
tlemen," he said, ''you must
not mistake. l admit that the
French Emperor is a tyrant. |
admit he is a monster. ] admit
that he is the sworn foe of our
own nation, and, if you will, of
the whole human race. But,
gentlemen, we must be just to
our great enemy. We must not
forget that he once shot q book
seller" The guests, of whom
two out of every three lived by
their pens, burst into a roar of
laughter,and Campbell sat down
in triumph.

BRIDAL GREETINGS.
BY JESSIE FERGUSON BROWNE.

BY JESSIE FERGUSON BROWNE.
Fair the future lies before you,
Friends to me forever dear;
And as circling years roll o'er you,
Brighter still may each appear;
Love, with all its charms alluring
Bliss be yours without alloy;
Through all earthly change enduring,
Lasting as eternity.
Pleasure, some may seek in ranging,
Be its wiles unknown to you;
Changeless still where all is changing,
Ever constant, kind and true;
Nuptial flowers of love unfolding
Opening with th' advancing year
Gems of most exquisite moulding.
In your pathway now appear.
Time with ever ceaseless motion,
Hashng from the world away,
Like the reckless, surging ocean,
Onward flows nor brooks delay;
Borne along that rolling river,
Soon to reach eternal rest;
Still the same and changeess ever,
Each in each supremely blest.
