zuelan general who was banished by the

them, and the young people were married

Stewards hotel for women is rapidly
building, and will be ready for occupancy

better off than if these necessities were

If it is really true, us it appears to be,
that the republicans Of South Carolina, al
though in II majority, are not able to pro-
duce sufficient evidence of their right, nor
the power to enforce it, the better course

eminent to its duty by ~ united, vigilant
and honorable opposition, until another
election gives them better opportunity
to recover and reassert their rights. - BoS.

courtesies extended to him by the Presi-
dent, by all the members of the cabinet,
and by republicans and democrats alike,
at once stamp the plain impress of false
hood upon all such statements.-C Me-

have been; we have passed our wild stage
of speculation, and must settle down tC
the moderate incomes and slow accumu,
lations that are the rule in all European
countries. We waste more food and veal
out more clothes than any other people or
earth; and we do not get the comfort il
proportion to our outlay The English
man has much more comfort of life on {
smaller income than the American. W.
