ADAMS FIRST JVIFES

This is the oil Hebrew cabalistic
legend of Lilith, the first wife of
Adam, as told by NJ. d. Conway, in
his lecture on the devil: "She was a
cold, passicnless, splendid beauty, with
wondrous golden hair. She was crea-
ted Adams equal in every respect; and, ],
therefore, properly enough, refused to
obey him. For this she was driven
from the garden of Eden. and Eve
was oreated-made to order, so to
speak--of one of Adams ribs. Then
the goldenhaired Lilith-jealous, en-
ragged, pining for her first home in
Paradise-entered in the form of a
serpent, crept into the garden OF
Eden, and tempted Allan and Eve to
their destruction. And, from that day
to this, Lilith, cold, passionlesl
beauty, with golden hair, has roamed
up and down the earth, snaring the
sons of Adam, and destroying them.
You may always know her dead vic
Tins, for, whenever a man has been
destroyed by the hands of Lilith, you
will always find single golden hair
wrapped tight around his lifeless
heart. To this day many and many q
son of Adam is lured to death and
ruin from having the golden hair ol
a woman wrapped too tight around hit
heart.

HAMPTON AND THE PEOPLE VS.
CHANBERLAIN.-Twenty-:wo thous.
and dollars was received by the Hamr
ton government in South Carolina fol
taxes ON Wednesday. and so far con-
siderably over one hundred thousand
dollars has been paid in to the Hamp-
ton government under the cali for ten
per cent. of the taxes. In the mean
time not not one dollar is being paid
to the Chamberlain usurration, and
the courts have enjoinek the banks
from paying out anyof the States
funds upon the order OF Cardozo, re-
publican, who claims to be State treas
urer. AS a consequence Chamber
lain's colored troops, (militia,) who
have been acting as guards at the
State House, have been paid in scrip
at the very liberal rate of three dol.
lars per day but this scrip is being
hawked about the streets of Columbia
without finding purchasers at any
price. Many of the guards have be-
come disgusted and deserted the sink
ing ship. Under the circumstances
here indicated were Chamberlain 9
man having self-respect he would gel

The Discussion Yesterday.
A Washington despatch says:-It is said
that in the Electoral Commission yester-
day Messrs. Morton and Garfield carried
on most of the discussion on the Repub-
lican side, the other Republican MEM
bers saying comparatively little. Nearly
all the Democrats took an active part in
the discussion. During the afternoon
General Garfield came into the Senate
several times and held consultations with
Senator Sherman.

NEW YORK, Feb. I0.-The Times has
an Albany letter which says:-Chief JUS

a "Commission" to decide the Presidency
as unconstitutional, and to use his own
words, "the greatest farce of modern

Governor Seymour Thinks the Democrats

Ex-Governor Seymour has expressed
the opinion that the Democrats in Con-

for this opinion are not, like Judge

but are rather those of politician.

LOOKING OUT Fer POSSIBLE VACANCIES IN
THE COMMISSION.
The following Washington despatch is
published in the New York Tribune
"One of the curious things connected
with the composition of the Electoral
Commission was an agreement entered
into in writing by which the four chair
men of the party caucuses in the two
houses bound their respective parties to
a specified method of filling any vacancy
which might occur in the commission
after its selection. A paper was drawn
up and signed by Senators Cragin and
Stevenson and Representatives McCrary
and Lamar, by which it was agreed that
in case of vacancy from any cause, it
should.be filled by the selection of man
of the same political party as the person
creating the vacancy. 1t was further
agreed that the selection should be made
by the caucus of his party in the house
to which he belonged; and that such eau
Gus nominee should be supported by both
parties in a viva voce in open session.
Four copies Of this agreement were made
and one is retained by each of tho four
gentlemen named above. Ii possible the
Democrats of the House were bound
more strongly than the rest by the ac-
ton of their caucus chairman, Mr.. La
mar, .since he, in addition to signing the
paper, added an endorsement IN further
support of its purposes

REDUCED REvENUEs AND Economy.
Economy Is to be enforced on the
Pennsylvania legislators at Harrisburg
by the impressive fact that the cor
poratioA taxes that mainly support the
State government Of Pennsylvania are
not yielding so much money now as
formerly. 1t is found necessary to
have a wholesale pruning to enable
the diminished revenue to carryon the
State government. The railways have
experienced such diminution of re-
ceipts that their taxation is reduced
by large sum, and it is the railways
that provide the bulk of the revenue.

WASHINGTON, February 11.-Quite
a number of prominent Republicans
called upon the President to-day and
informally urged him to dispose of
the disputed questions in Louisiana
and South Carolina and recognize the
Republican claimants to the Goverc
norship of these States. They urged
that the troubles in Louisiana had be-
gun in his Administration and grown
up under it. and that he ought to set
tie them as far as in his power before
new Administration comes in. The
President listened very carefully to
their appeats and stated that he was

MOORE rs. ROYNTON.

In the letter of Col. w. b. MOORE to the
President, which we give in another column,
he rctcratcs in condensed form, what he
has heretofore asserted, and rcnews his de-
mand for an opportunity to meet, in some
official manner, the charges that have been
made against him.
1t is proper to call attention to the fact
that THE REPUBLICAN has maintained u
strictly impartial position towards the
parties to this controversy, which attitude
it will continue until the facts are all in
from both sides.
The President removed Col. MOORE while
he was absent in the performance Of his
duty, upon representations made by parties
bitterly hostile to him. Gen. BoyNToN, in
his publication, asserts positively that he
induced the President to take this action.
Every word alleged against Col. MOORE
may be true, but so long as he asserts his
innocence and is not given an opportunity
to vindicate himself in accordance with the
rules Of civil service, so long will there re-
main cloud upon the practice of civil SER
vice reform. In the latest publication by
Gen. BoYNToN appear two letters by Maj.
ii. L. WILLIAMS, n prOtege of President
HAYES. Maj. WILLIAMS is n trusted officer
OF the Department, stationed iIf Philadel-
phia, and his letters fully confirm all that
is said by Col. MOORE about the BRIsTow
ring in the Treasury.
Gen. BoyNToN owes IT to the newspaper
fraternity to explain without delay how he
came in possession of letters written in con-
fdence to President GRANT, and by the
latter referred in confidence to Secretary
MORRILL, for his official information. He
should, Furthermore, reconcile his statement
that he never met Mr.. MOORE at any place
for any purpose with the very elaborate
biography he wrote Of Col. MOORE, and the
detailed minutia in which he deals with
events of the latter's life covering period
of twenty years.
Col MOORE forcibly alleges that either
Gen. BoYNToN deceived the President by
Withholding the facts about Major Will.
LIAMs, who is an officer of the Presidents
old command, or the President has shown
partiality in his dealing towards two Off
GERS in similar positions.
An impartial investigation is the onl,
means of settling this controversy, and vi
hope the President will relegate the subjec
to Secretary SHERMAN for immediate &C

Queen, OF the West has also one Of her own, ot
which some articulate nimor has barely reached

The first requisite, then, for giving unity,
strength and originality to our literature
must be to make Washington the recognized
literary centre of the nation, so that schol-
ans may resort hither from all parts of the
land to enjoy each others society and to re-
ceive that broad and liberal culture which
can only he obtained by mingling in the re-
fined society of great capital.
On certain occasion CoLERIDGE, after

ccntration of all The smartncss of Scotland,
said Edinburgh is q talking town, and

truth is abundantly verified by the details
Of the history OF the intellectual life ol

which are the eycr-enduring standards o

English literature in the past, Washington

RECIPROCITY.

The wisdom Of modifying our tariff by
means of commercial treaties has been
proven by the beneficial consequences
which have followed the one made by the
late Administration with the Sandwich Is
lands. A very profitable trade in lumber
and other products Of the Pacific coast has
sprung up between those islands and the
United States. The people of California
and Oregon are greatly pleased with the re-
suits of the treaty. Its effects have been
equally beneficent upon the trade of the
Sandwich Islands, thus showing that the
principle of reciprocity issafc and sound and
should be applied to Canada and other
countries. As to its results in the islands
