The Wife's Pin Money.

From the Toledo Blade.
We do not know if il be possible for a
man to understand sensitive, high spir-
tied woman's reluctance to ask for money,
because he can't put himself in her place.
1t would require an impossible stretch
the imagination for him to conceive what
his feelings would be if he were compelled
to ask somebody when he wanted a
new hat, or coat, or pair of shoes. Per
haps he might be able TO approximate to
something near her state of mind, if he
could recall his abiect terror when, as a
boy, he approached his ia Their to crave
the boon of few extra dollars. 4 lady
said to us: IF were absolute mistress
of even the paltry sum of one hundred
dollars year, so | could spend it without
feeling responsibility to anybody,
should feel that great weight had been
lifted off me-" A wife does her shf re of
TIE work for the family, and by careful
management and contriving adds to the
common fund, is entitled to her share of
he profits, and the division should be
Justly and cheerfully made by the head
of the firm, as with any other partner.
If women were recognized and trusted
many whose souls are now tOrmented
about the vexed questions of their

THE GREAT SEAL OF THE STATE.

+ Governor Hampton has Seal of State
which imprints the same inscription as
the one. retained by Ex-Goy. Chamber
lain did,. 1t is even prettier than the
one in possession of the Ex-Governor
and bis, pals, and is quite as legal and
valid as any seal that can be gotten up
for the State without complying with the
requirements of the Constitution. We
have heretofore informed our readers
that the State has no constitutional seal,
and therefore even a scroll would be as
good as any other device, SO far as the
legality Of it is concerned. Commissions
without, any other than an l.. S. from
the Governor and Lieut.. Governor wonld,
we think, be valid, because they are the
best, the nature of the case will admit of;
but acts to be performed out of the State,
which require the "Great Seal of the
State of South Carolina" as guarantee
against fraud and imposition, would be
invalid. For instance, the law requires
the appointment of Presidential Electors
to be certified under the great seals of the
several States, and for the" reason that
that is the highest evidence of the fact
that the proper persons are exercising
the Office. This law has not been COM
piled with in South Carolina, for the
vote has been forwarded attested with
what pretends to be the great seal, but in
reality is no seal authorized by law. The
Republicans will, therefore, if they follow
the law, either have to throw out the vote
of South Carolina, Or establish its validity
outside Of the seal, which will give the
Democrats the opportunity to do the same
in other States. Oregon and South Car
olina may both be two-edged swords to
Mr.. Hayes partisans.

GOVERNOR HENDRICKS ON MILITARY
INTERFERENCE.-In his message, to the

takes occasion to refer to the use. of Fed
eral troops in the Southern States. He
Indirectly censures their. employment os,,
tensibly to protect the governments inthe
exercise Of their authority, bntin reality
to serve a political purpose. He points
in contrast to Indiana, where during the
four years of his own administration there
had been riotous demonstrations by strong
bodies ofmen. But in every instance the
authority of the State and the supremacy
of her laws had been maintained without
invoking the support of United States
troops. The moral he draws from it is
that people so careful of maintaining
their own; institutions, and the constitu-
tional rights and privileges of their own
State government, cannot be Indifferent
when other States. are threatened with
the destruction of their rights and priv

Ifeel so sanguine Of a satisfactory SO.
luton of the present unsettled condition
of affairs, that have no hesitation in
recommending as full and general EN-.

the means of our people. Great suffering

they are left without employment, and
the material interests of the State will
be seriously affected in this event. HUI
