Prophecy Fulfilled.

Twenty six years ago Daniel
Webster, the great expounder of
the constitution, uttered these
prophetic words
"If the internal fanatics and
abolitionists ever get power in
their hands, they will override the
Constitution, set the Supreme
Court at defiance, change and make
laws to suit themselves, lay vio-
lent hands on those who differ
with them in their opinions or dare
question their iDfallibility, and
finally bankrupt the country and
deluge it with blood "-DanieL
Webster, March 7, 1850.
Let any man calmly,in intelligent.
ly and honestly review the histo'
ry OF the country and the doings
of the party in power during the
past fifteen years and at the pres
ent time, and he will see and ad-
NIT that the Bible does not contain
a clearer, better defined and bet
Ter fulfilled prophecy between its
lids than this one Of Daniel Web,
ster. How very, very true, every
word, as if the scene itself had
passed before his eyes as he paint
ed it. Every man must at once
recognize the great prophecy and
its literal fulfillment.

The report that the Democrats
of the South are willing to submit
to the fraudulent Inauguration of
Hayes is significant. 1t is based
upon their desire to be rid of the
predatory carpet-bag governments
which have robbed the people of
the South of their property and
their hope. The report is an ad-
mission that they will submit to
anything with the hope of being
rid OF the Republican Administra'
ton in the South as has been
known in the last decade. This
is not complimentary to the Re-
publican party. Drowning, the
Southerners, the report says. catch
at a straw-the promise Of Hayes.

The Louisiana Returning

The Louisiana Returning
Board was magnanimous enough
to count in some Democratic
candidates for Local offices in
New Orleans whose maJO.ities
ranged from 10000 to $4,000.
The Board would hardly have
done so if the Radical oppo-
nents Of these candidates could
have given bonds for the faith
fnl discharge of their duties.
In several Southern States Dem
ocrats are compelled to fill po-
sitions because the Republicans
can not get any one to furnish
security.

New York Herald Speaks.

The Herald gives great credit
to Wade Hampton aud the South
Carolina Democrats for their no.
bic self possession under trying
circumstances, and pronounces as
follows its opinion of the act:
There could not be a more
wanton, monstrous and indelensi-
bic violation of the law than this
assumption by the Federal army
of a right to decide who had and
who had not been elected to a State
legislature D
At the conclusion Of IFS long,
| vigorous, but strikingly temperate
and well considered article, the
Herald says:
"If the President ordered this
plain violation Of law, or if, with
SO many reasons for supposipg it
would take place, he did not ple-
vent, be must shoulder the whole
responsibility"
Quoting his message on Louisi-
ana, the Herald adds:
eff the law is such as lie de-
scribes it, he has clearly made him
self liable to. impeachment by this
new interference with.a State Leg
islature. Unfortunately for him,
the impeaching power is now in
the bands OF his enemies, land there
is no reason. why they should not
exercise it."

Dear Sir: Gibbon says there is

warmth of summer, always toIer'

the latter is the de. >dly heat of
fever, which consum IS without
remedy the vitais of 1 DE constl'
tuition. I do not think opinions
OF a judicial nature con cerning
the law or the constitution III any
consequence. The drunken lem
ocrat whom the Republic, ms
dragged out Of the Galeua gutter'
besmeared with the blood OF coun-
trymen slain in domestic broil, and
lifted to high pedestal as the
Moloch of their worship, rules
and until a great change Ia senti-
ment shall take place must con.
tihue to ruIe-oVer the prostrate
ruins OF WashingtOn's Republic.
The Republic perished on the day
that Mcdowell advanced On to

Not for Love, After All.

Fiom the Virginia City Chronicle.
A few days ago Miss Fam
ME Waters was united in the
bonds of matrimony to All Wah,
a Chinaman. All Wah is pro-
prietor Of a laundry, and is
possessed of that element that
sways the judgment and dis
pels preiudices against caste,
otherwise known as gold. Miss
Waters followed the vocation
of governess and teacher. The
high contracting parties met ly
chance in a Green street church,
where Chinese heathen are be-
ing converted to Christianity.
But in this instance the tables
were turned, and the Chinaman
converted her to heathendom.
At the wedding in answer to a
question by the Rev. Mr.. Glib
son, why she married the Chi
naman, she said she did so "be-
cause she loved him, and not
for his money" 1t now trans
pires that before she would con-
sent to be led to the nuptial
couch she demanded $4,000 as
the price of her virgin heart.
This money she placed ina bank.
She showed her account 10 the
lady in whose house she had
been employed as a governess.
The lady begged and implored
her not to marry the Chinaman,
but all appeals to the young wo-
mans reason failed, and she inn
molated herself on the altar Of
Mammon. All Wah thinks Of
buying another wife, but cam
not afford another $4,000 invest
ment in the face Of the impend-
ing hard times.

4" MAKING 'EM SWEAT.n

Before Mr.. David Dudley Field we have
known or read of but one lawyer so hopeful
of temper and fertile in resources. The law
yer referred to defended a client charged with
a capital Offense and lost The case. "Oh,
CHATS nothing" said he to the client,
who was q little detected at the result.
"Thats nothing; it's a verdict against
" evidence. I'll fix that without any
"trouble;" and he took steps accordingly. De-
feated again, the client was naturally enough
somewhat cast down, but the lawyer assured
him it would be all right; that he had another
plan to try, which was a sure thing. He tried
il and failed. The poor fellow in Jail began to
be discouraged. " Cheer up! cheer up' said
the lawyer. "Thcrcs no danger of their
Changing you; Eve got another proceeding
"under way which can't fail" That, too,
was unsuccessful, and the condemned man
again relapscd into encouragement. 81 tell
"you," said the lawyer, there's nothing to
abe afraid of; You are i'll not the slightest
"danger of being hung. | give you my word,
" they can't bang you. I've just taken steps
" in an entirely new and original proceed
"ing which | know must succeed" But
this effort met the same fate with those
that had preceded it, and the only
consolation that remained for the con-
demned was derived from the lawyers con-
tinued assurance that everything would come
out right, and he shouldn't be executed.
But one day they began erecting the gallows
i'm the prison yard. This looked like business.
Sending post haste for his lawyer, the
prisoner asked him if there was any
hone. "HOpc n answered he, rubbing
his hands, "plenty of it. Why, we've got
"a sure thing on 'em: can't help beating EN-"
"Dut," said the condemned man, they've be-

the paper, it becomes imperative that the whole
shall be published without any further delay.
The Attorney General cannot afford to expose
himself to injurious misconceptions by holding
back the full text and allowing scraps OF 1t to
be given out Just when they may be useful
for effect upon legislation at Albany or for
other political purposes. So far as Mr.. Kelly Is
concerned, let it be understood that we have
no doubt whatever of his integrity. But it
must not be left in the power of MIR. Kelly to
use the Tweed confession at pleasure in such
way as to serve only the interests of the
partisan organization with which he is con-
nected and it will be just as well to take
away the temptation with which more aspiring
statesmen than our Controller are doubtless
wrestling to use this document as goad. We
do not believe the Attorney General is the
sort of person to lend himself to crooked
schemes. He is q good citizen and an honest
man, devoted to his duty. So, Sir. Fairchild,
