Sparta had no walls, King Agesilaus
pointing to his marshaled army, said,
"Here be the walls Of Sparta, and ev-

That's jolly" "ajolly time,' "a jol-

Let US see. In John Traps Com
mentary on the Old and New Tesla

dred years ago, is to be read, "All
was jolly quiet at Ephesus before St.
Paul came hither." And still centu-

Plutarch's Lives, says ut (the wind,
which some call calcias) bloweth jol-
ly cool wind"
When we wish, III our free way, to
signify that man is cowardly, or
weak, or submissive, we say, HE
wilted." In the Arabic version, the
eighth verse of the fourth chapter of
Jonah reads, "The sun beat upon the
head of Jonah that he sUllted," instead
of tainted as it now reads.
"That's too thin" Slang again.
Wait bit. In Henry the Eight, act
five, scene second, King Henry says;
"You were ever good at sudden common
dations,
Bishop of Winchester-but know, / come
not
To hear such fiattery now-and in my
presence
They are too thin and base to hide of

THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 81. 1877.

Gov. Wade Hampton, 10 his speech at the
reunion of the Shields Guard, at Auburn, N.
Y, yesterday, said the late contest IN South
Carolina was contest waged by the people
of that State-pot, as demagogues would tell
you, against Northern men--it was contest
waged against carpet. baggers, and when say
carpet-baggers, mean by that tibet. we
do not call any Northern man, any lrlsbman,
any German, any Eogiishnau, who settles IN
our midst as an honest citizen, carpet Dagger.
We welcome such with open arms. We tell
them to come to our genial skies and fertile soil.
Come one, come all, aud pledge them, in the
name of the State, hospitable, warm hearted
reception" Gov. Hampton's ideas regarding
Southern immigration are those Of every South,
err man, and the Southern people, whose chief
means of regarding their former prosperity lies
in an increased population, would stand very
much in their own light if they did not enter
tain them. His definition of carpet. Dagger,
when supplemented by that Of President Hayes,
stated few days ago, also exactly expresses
the Southern idea of that war fungus; and yet
there are republicans living 10 the South, and
identified with the interests of the communi-
ties 10 which they reside, who pretend to be
lieve that they come under the condemnation
so well deserved by the carpet bageers. We
say 'prctcnd," for in the management of their
individual affairs they exhibit ordinary under
standing, and good citizen with ordinary un.
derstaudiug can not possibly really believe that
the people among whom he lives look upon
him in tue light of carpet Dagger Werevert
to this topic so often because we understand
that SOMEONE TO our own knowledg e-of our
worthest and most respected citizens say that
deuuuciatiou of the justly prescribed class re
hects upon them also.
