retreating before the Russian army
the Prince protesting that that he
simply yields to force.
This position of the Roumanian
government needs some explana-
ton. Inthetreaty of Paris, madeat
the close of the Crimean war, the two
Northeast provinces of the Turkish
empirein Europe, viz. Wallachia and
Moldavia were united in a single
government under the name of Rou-
mania. Their ruling prince was de
clared subject of the Porte, but the
government of the State was to be
entirely independent, his allegiance
being only represented in the form
of a fixed annual tribute payable in
Constantinople. The neutrality of
the territory was guaranteed by the
signatories of that treaty, England
France and Austria) in case of Il
war between Russia and Turkey.
There is no doubt ofthe sympathy
of the Roumians with Russia,
though the princes professions that
he yields to force secure his privele-
ges as a nOn-cOmbatant.

From McAllister,s X Roads.

We learn from our McAllister X
Roads correspondent that the wheat
in his section of the county is doing
well, and a good crop is expected.
The farmers, both white and black,
are at work in earnest, and he thinks
that if they continue to do so for the
next twelve months they viii have
no cause to complain Of hard times.
The hog cholera he reports as still
being very bad in his neighborhood.
The peaches are nearly all killed,
and there is very little chance for
blackberries this season, the bushes
having been killed during the Win
ter.
Mr.. Thomas Rogers, who has
been quite i'll with pneumonia, is
improving, and it is hoped that he
will soon be recovered.
The Barton's Creek Grange has
done good work in repairing the
roads in that part of the county,
which, of late, had become almost
impossible.
A Post Office has recently been es-
tablished at Cave Mills, on the head

Letter From Hon. Charles Francis
Adams to Mr.. Tilden.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE fol-
lowing letter is now made public for
the first time. As will be seen it
was written on the day of the inau-
guratiOn of President Hayes:
Boston, March 5, 1877.-HOn. s.
j. IELde3a: My Dear Sir,-On this
day, when you ought to have been
President Of the United States, /
seize the opportunity to bear my
testimony to the calm and dignitied
manner in which you have passed
through the great trial. 1t is many
years since [ ceased to be a party
man. Hence / have endeavOred to
Judge of public affairs and men
by their merits than by the name
they take.
1t is a source of qualification to me
to think that / made the right
choice in the late election. / could
never have been recOnciled to ele-
walton by the smallest aid of mine
of a person however respectable in
private life who must forever carry
upon his brow the stamp Of fraud
first triumphant in American his
tory. No subsequent action, how
ever meritOriOus, can wash away
letters of that record.
Very respectfully yours,

THE TOBACCO FLY.
An Experiment Worth TRYING.

A friend and a reliable gentleman
gives the annexed receipt for bugs
on pumpkin, watermelon or cucum-
Der vines, and / believe it will have
the same effect on the tobacco plant.
In planting his pumpkins last year
he soaked the seed in mayapple
root tea, and was not troubled with
bugs. The replanting was done
without soaking, and the bugs de
stroyed them. He discovered
them on his melons, which had not
been soaked, but on applying the
tea to the vines the bugs imme-
diately disappeared. Let the farm
ers try it on their tobacco plants.
1t is simple and costs but little
trouble. VIM. +. TAYLOR.

The Charleston Journal of Com
merce, abiding to the Presidents
action in the removing of troops
from the Capitol of South Carolina,
says:
1t is true that we sit amid the
wreck of former wealth and materi-
al prosperity. Yet we have the
same delightful climate. Nature is
unchanged in all her prodigality OF
gifts and resources for those who can
use them and with the character,
intelligence and energy of our peO-
pie unbroken, opportunities must
arise for fresh labOrs and new devel-
opments in the world of business.
Our people have not been reckless
and extravagant; they have not
been speculative. What is left them
of property is solid. They are less
in debt than probably any other
people in the South. When credit
reviVes they will be entitled to it,
will receive it and viii benefit by it.
We, therefore, think that the hopes
here are better than in most portions
Of the South.

HAMPTON AND THE COLORED YO-
TIERS.

AT reception lately given by the
mayor of Charleston, Gov. Hamp-
ton was specially called upon by the
collored people for a speech; he
spoke 50 much to the purpose that
we give the following extract from
his address:
I'VE don't want the vote of the colored
man taken away or restricted, IoT aside from
the friendship we bear this race, their right
To vote gives us thirty more votes in Con-
.grcSS, and when peace comes we are salts
fled that the best men i'm both races and par
ties viii vote together Tor the common
wealth. We don I want to take that right
away. lGreat applause l stand precisely
i'm the position that ! took twelve years ago
/ want 10 see the culored people educated,
and l renew here the pledges that have
heretofore made, that we Will give the coll
Ored people better facilities fOS education
than they have hitherto enjoyed. APP
plauScf I shall use all my influence tOSeC
To il that the means of education are placed
within the reach OF every citizen of south
Carolina; and when I say every do not
limit or qualify the expression. 1 call every
man C0rOliuiuu. whether he l. white or
black, whether he is born here, at the north,
or in Europe, who Is a good citizen ana has
the interests of the state at heart, and he is
entitled TO all the protection that the laws
ofthc state and of the United states can give
made in the last canvass. / can only do that
if the people of South Carolina viii help me.
/ can do nOthingOf myself. | may indicate
10 the legislature what consider a proper
course for them To pursue, but II j. for them
to make the laws. My duty is TO execute
them. and youT duty is to send the beSl men
to the legislature, Irrespective Of race or
party
We desire to call the serious at
tention of our readers to these re-
Marks, for they breach a most inn
portant topic, the necessary cOnnec-
tion between negro voting and
negro education. To appreciate this
subject in its true light we must first
face the stubborn fact that we have
the negro voter among us and can't
get rid of him if we would; more
over Gov. Hampton gives unan-
swerable reasons why we should not

ADDITIONAL LOCAL.
The Ice Cream Parties.

The indefatigable ladies of the
Episcopal church are giving Sc
ries of very attractive entertain
ments, to which we desire to call
attention. Every Friday evening
an ice cream party is given al the
residence of one or the other of these
ladies, last week at Mrs. McDaniels,
Friday night at Mrs. Graceys' and
next week at Mrs. Cashiers.
Only three objections have been
offered to these parties, they give
too much ice cream, they don't
charge enough for it, and there are
so many pretty girls there that you
can't eat your ice cream for looking
at them. Now young gentlemen,
if you go don't say you were not
fOrewarned.
The next party is at Mrs. Cast
ners' on Friday night, from 6 to
8 o'clock.

if we could. If the negro were de
prived Of his vote our representa-
ton in Congress would be apportion-
ed according to our white popula-
ton alone and, as the Governor says,
we should thus lose thirty votes.
Now since the carpet-bagger has
lost his hold on the negro voter, and |
the latter has begun to get his eyes
open to the fact that the carpet-bag-
ger has been living in the South for
the sole purpose of plundering both
black and white there, a great
change has come over some Of the
more clear headed of the Northern
Radicals. They gave votes to the
negroes because thev believed that
they would always vote Radical
that expectation seems likely to be
realized no longer, and, instead of
the negro helping the Northern pol
itician to rule the South in the in
terest of the North, he is beginning
to find that his prosperity is identi-
fed with that of the South, and, at
every election, a larger cOlored vote
is given against the Republican par
ty. This gives serious alarm to the
Northern Radical, who begins to see
that the South is goingto be ruled in
its own interests and no longer as a
subject province. 1t is well known
that Gen. Grant before the termina-
ton of his official life expressed the
opinion that the negro vote would
have to be abolished, and Gov.
Hampton informs us, in the very
speech from which we have made
/ the above extract that, when he was
in Washington lately, some promi-
nent Republicans in high position
actually consulted him as to how the
vote of the colored man could be
best restricted.
Our people must learn TO see that
if it is anybody's interest that the
negro shall be deprived Of his vote,
it is that of the North and not of
the Southland then follows irresist-
IDLY the inference
He MUST BE EDUCATED.
We know that we are running di-
rectly counter to prejudices still in
veterate among us, but those preju-
dices must give way. Ignorant 90
ters are dangerous in all communities,
and it is only by making negroes in
telligent enough to know their own
interest, and that of the Southern
country, that we can prevent them
from being driven in drOVes to
vote in the interest of the North.
No false economy must be allowed
to diminish the number or efficiency
of our public schools, and the inter
est Of the cOlOred population in them
must be iealously guarded; they
are our only security that the
coIored population shall become in
terested in Southern independence
rather than in Southern subsection.

FROM MISSOURI.
A Visit to the Ruins Of the Southern
Hotel. s.. Louis.

EDITORS CHRONICLE-On last
Friday, April 18th, in company
with a friend, | visited st. Louis to
see the ruins of the Southern Hotel,
which had but a night or so before
been consumed by fire. 1t with but
little exception covered one full
block. 1t being finely built, adj
Vantageously located and conducted
in good style, it is no wonder that
so many of the travelling public
sought shelter under her roof and
food at her tables. From near and
from far, old and young, all classes,
tarried and secured the rest and
nourishment demanded by nature.
English, American and German
We're among the guests on that fatal
night, if from no other part of the
world. From the second to the
fifth story had citations been made
in answer to the inquiry: "Where
will | room tonight ?" Supper
over, strOlls taken through the city,
unfinished business attended to;
some had, perhaps, attended church
to hear the word of God preached
or prayers offered some, it may be,
had gone to the halls of frivOlity,
and now all had returned and had
quietly retired to rest, forgetting the
past day and to fOndly dream Ofthe
morrow, to lock themselves up in
their rooms and to be locked in by
sleep for the night, not for once in
all their CONCENTRATIONS of prOba-
bilities and possibilities that that
was their last night on earth, that
before the sun of tomorrow should
rise the building in which they
were then seeking shelter, the beds
upon which their bodies rested,
would with some of them be de-
stroyed by fire and their souls sent
to give account to God. Sad to say,
with many it was too true.
The town clock had announced
twelve O'Clock, and no harm yet.
OneO'clOck came, two o'clock came,
and what Il scene? The alarm is
given and the engines are soon on
the ground but too late, too late.
The alarm is now given at the door
Of every available chamber in the
building, and the cry is heard: "The
hotel is on fire, the hotel is on fire."
But as with the engines, so with
many of them-tOO late, too late.
Some did succeed in getting down,
while some were killed in trying to
save themselves by leaping from
the windows. From one room
comes a gentleman leading his wife
by the hand, and ON knees and
hands they crawl through the stiff
ling smoke that filled the halls and
save themselves. From another
room comes a merchant, with wife
and adopted daugher, and reach the
ground in safety, but his mOther-in-
law is left behind and he goes to her
rescue. He is too late; the flames
shut the two in and hedge all way
of escape; she perishes in the flames,
and he leaps from window and is
killed. The wife stands and looks
at the husband dead at her feet, and
perhaps hears the cries within of
her mother dying in the flames.
With but narrow escape Miss Kate
Claxton reaches the ground, and
the second time is rescued from the
flames. We saw hanging from the
windows bed clothing that had been
fastened there by the victims in the
hope that they might escape the
flames in that way. As
I looked at the ruined walls,

Culture of Flowers.

Many persons buy the bridal
rose and keep them for years and
get no flowers. If they will keep
them in a flower pot, in a pit or green
house, they will bloom profuseiy
every spring. If you want them to
bloom in the open ground, plant
them in pot or boxes buried in the
ground. In a box twelve inches
square, put three plants and pull! up
ali suckers that may spring up
around them. After those in the
pit are grown, about the time the
Hibrid roses are in bloom, you will
have the finest display of white
flowers ever seen in a garden. The
secret is in combining the roots that
they may spread and cause the death
of the first growth of wood.

PrecautiOn Against Fire.

lature:

standard-bearer to-day a man who
has always felt kindly-in fact, /
don't know a man who has kinder
feelings towards the colored people
than / have. My record on that
point does not date from to-day, or
from the war, but it goes back to
the earlier period of my childhood,
and it is well known among the
colored people of Assumption and

you to know, that | will unflinch-
ingly protect them in all their
rights. | feel satisfied that none of
you are disposed to interfere or de-
prive any man of his rights; and if
you are disposed you will find me
opposed to you.
"There is one point in regard to
the conduct of the campaign, and
that is, that / am thoroughly, ut
terly, and completely opposed to
fraud, whether it comes from our
side or comes from the other side.
| want this election to be fair,
squareand peaceable. Iwant every
man who is entitled to vote permit
ted to do SO. | want the ballot
boxes placed where everybody can
see them. Iwant the votes counted
in the presence of everybody. We
have a right to ask that, and we
shall insist that it shall be done.
Nobody can complain of that-it is
a right which is due to us, and we
must exact it. 1t is a right which
is due to the other side, and it must
be confirmed"
