GOING OUT WITH THE TIDE.

Raise me up ia my BED, wife
There's q ssGna of ,he sea in my ear.
Anu il sings 50 my saw! ia - music
That earth il nc! blessed to hear,
Open the little window, wife,
Then como and sit by my side;
; Well wait Gods sweet flood water
To take me out with the tide.
1 see the hsrbor-bar wife,
And my dear little boat in the bay;
But who shall be able to guide her
When her master hath passed away2
know that her helm, SO trusty,
Will answer no other haad
As it answered mine, when knew, wife,
You were waiting for me OIL the strand.
Our boys are all before US, wife;
Wee Jack is beneath the wavo,
And blue-eyed Freddy sleeps, wife,
In yonder yew-bowered grave.
Where the early daisies cluster
Around his baby bed,
And the thrush sits chanting softer
In yon tree that shades the dead.
There's chill runs through our hearts, wife
When the harbor-bar doth moan;
But darker grief will be yours, wife,
When you re left in the cot alone;
But few more flows of the sea, wife,
Aud few more ebbs Of the tide
Then Gods sweet food shall bring you
Again to your old mans side
The red sun is low in the west, wife,
And the tide sinks down with the sun;
We will part with each other in love, wife,
For swoe:ly our lives have run;
Give me your hand, my own love,
AS you gave it in days Of yore;
We will clasp them, ne'er to be sundered,
Whom we meet on tho far-off shore

The SOUTH CAROLINA INDICTMENTS

The SOUTH CAROLINA INDICTMENTs.-
The indictment OF So many Of the leading
Republican-ex officials Of South Geolina,
who, q few years ago, held that state in their
hands and ruled it at pleasure, is denounced
as persecution by many Republican papers;
it is called II breach of the contract by which
Governor Hampton secured the removal of
the troops from Columbia, and proof of
the recreancy Of South Carolina whites to
solemn obligations That so many Ropub-
licans should be indicted certainly does look
|setboagh party malice had something to do
with it, But when We examine the charges
preferred aud the confessions made by some
OF the accused persons, this suspicion is dis
slpatsd. Some Of the indictments are for
forSerN; some for raising the amounts of
warranf\; some for issuing fraudulent pay
certiica6ss for service in the Legislature; !;
some for HtiLsry None Of these arc poll
tlcai ohenses; they are vulgar felonies, and
II the accused persous shall be convicted,
and it is vety probable they will bo, the
state prison will be the end Of their public
career. 1t is fact worth considering, in
making up our estimate Of the case, that
the grand jury which found tue indictments
was composefof nine white men aud eight

THE FLAG OF THE PROPHET.

In letter to tho New York Tribune, da-
ted, Constantinsple, August 8, is given the
following description of the Flag of the
Prophet, and the influence it would have
upon the Turkish people if the Sultan
should decide to bring it out:
There have been many rumors that the
holy flag of the Prophet would be brought
out as rallying point for the whole nation,
in view of the aspect of affairs. In fict, it
is said that the Sultan has so long resisted
the pressure of tho people fer this, that the
venerable flag has three times undertaken to
shame him by going forth of its own accord
by flight from the window. For ten days
the Christians of this city have been in ter
ror by reason of this rumor, as they believe
that the appearance of the flag would be tho
signal for general attack Oh Chrstians.-
Three times my servants have come to mo
with white faces to say that such day had
been fixed for tho massacre-the breadman
said so-and every time they put unshaken
fafth in tho new computation of dates, like
the Adventsts in matters Of the end of the
world. The Turks, also, are i'll terror much
of the timo, lest the Christians rise and mas
sacre them. Thus many of the people Of
this city lead lives that are wretchsd from
fear. The flag which has caused such ter
ror in the Kitchens of Constantinople-th
San -juk-i-Sherif it is callcd-is an innocent
piece of rotcn ard faded silk, which used
to be covered with sacred writings, and once
was green in color. The only lcgible word
remaining upon it is "Aleni" (world, which
appears in secluded fold near the stall -
This flag is never unfurlcd-nor, indeed,
can be, from rottenness-a characteristic
which moralisls may use for the basis of
simlo connected with tho nation to whom
the flag belongs The flag is kept rolled Oh
its staff and covered with green satin Gov
er, the whole packed away in gold or gil
ded box. When the holy standard is to be
brought out, it is carried in its green cover
through the streets Of Constantinoplo, and, j,
after the city walls are passed, it is Gin the
field" 1t is then slowed away in the gilded
box once more, and this is carried with the
army, much as the Jews used to take tho
Ark of tho Covenant to the wars. When
it is in tho field every Moslem is in duty
bound 10 60 to the wars. 1t is not, common
ly, signal for a general attack on Christians,
although it does mean that no quarter will
be given in battle. The danger of its dis
play is, that the people, being called upon
in general way to make war, do SO each
after his own style. The bringing out of
the great flag in this war would be an abb
rogation of the Geneva Convention for the
amelioration Of suffering on the battlefield

A Sensible Candidate.

The Winchester Times publishes the
card of R. T. Barton, ESQ.,, one of the
nominees for the House Of Delegates
from Winchester. We make the follow
ing extract and commend it to our rea-
ders as an aid to help them in deciding
the fate of some of the numerous candi-
dates for legislative honors:
I favor no increase of taxation because
it would be too burdensome to the peO-
pie, and because such increase is not
needed. We can save by decrease of
expenditures at least 500, 900 per an
mum, AMI the revenue to be deprived
from sources which have heretofore
brought in nothing, will make up any
possible deficit in our present income.
/ will vote for no measure of force to
violate or impair any solemn contract
of the State.
l. Because it is reputation by anoth-
er name, disguise it as you may; and l
would do nothing in public that would
blush to have done in my private af-
fairs.
Says the Court of Appeals, speaking
of the State debt: 1--WE have never had
in such matters one code of law and
morals for the State, and another for in
dividuals; the same laws govern BOTH"
2. Because such forcible measures
would be unconstitutional, and not
worth the paper on which they may be
written. Every lawyer knows that no
law can be passed that either impairs
the obligation of contract, or so impe-
des its endorsements as practically to
lesson the debtors liability.
8. Because forcible measures being
vain against creditors who have by the
Funding Bill both judgment and execu-
ton against us, would tend to drive
away all efforts at negotiation, and
would leave the people hopelessly bur-
dened with the present debt, without
possibility of relief in the future. No
creditor will settle with a debtor who
holds stick in his hands. am for
the public schools, if for no other to
scorn demagogues and selfseekers. l
am for educating the people because it
will make them better citizens for the
safety of property and the good of socie-
ty depends upon that higher moral tone
that comes with intelligence and educa-
lion.

THE NEXT GENERAL ASSEMBLY
The next session of the State Legisla-
ture will be one of the most important
which have been held for many years.
In addition to its ordinary duties it
will be required
l. To settle upon some proper basis
the questions connected with the public
debt.
9. To re-apportion among the coun-
ties and districts the representatives
which each is to have in the General
Assembly for the succeeding ten years.
8. To elect judges of the Circuit Court
in nearly all the circuits, and to fill any
vacancies which may occur among the
Judges of the Court of Appeals and
County Courts.
These are duties of a grave and re
sponsible character, and the people
should look to it that the best men
of their respective counties and dis
tricts should be chosen to discharge
them. They should be men of intelli-
gence, Observation-Disclosures to under
stand what they are about-industry
to devote themselves earnestly to theil
duty-and integrity which will place
their action above suspicion of improper
influences.

for incompetent men, and when re-
preached with it reply, "Oh, they ar
good fellows, and we wished to CRAFTY
them! They can do no harmW
