ed to day. am glad to see that you have
been able ts turn out in such force to-day,
because hardly a year ago this regiment was
on the verge of disorganization and was al
most broken up. l told you in Charleston
here nearly year ago that the colored troops
of South Carolina should stand precisely up
on the same footing that the white volunteers
did. told you that you should be regarded
as citizens of this State, and that, 80 far as in
me lay, l should see that every privilege and
right guaranteed to you under the law should
be strictly and conscientiously enforced.
Now, when nearly one year and q half has
passed away since have been placed in Of

not kept my pledge? (Tumultuous cries Of
"yes," Eyes," and cheers.) l then hope and
feel that my action heretofore will be guar
antee of what propose to do in the future.
propose to walk precisely in the same path
that have pursued thus far to the close of
my administration. (Cheers.)
Later an incident occurred which illustrates
more forcibly than could anything else, the
entire confidence which Governor Hampton
has won for himself from all classes in the
community. As be rode in front Of the COL.

him by the troops by uncoverning bis head,
a simultaneous and universal cheer went
up from the assembled multitude, the tenor
of which was, "Hurrah for Governor Hamp-
ton! The Governor of the whole people"
The Governor appeared deeply raoved by
this evidence of confidence and esteem, and &C.
knowledged the compliment briefly by saying
that if the colored citizens of the State would
continue to give him their support he would
prove still more than he had already done,
that he intended to be the Governor of
the whole people of South Carolina.

CHAPTER VIII.

Let US return to Helen Forester, whom we
left at the boarding school in the neighbor'
hood of LIE Bocage.
Three years have passed since then, and we
find her again seated one afternoon in Mad
anne Previle's parlor, in company with Vic
tor Duclos.
1t is gusty afternoon of autumn, and the
branches of the trees, half denuded of their
foliage, are swaying and bending in the chill
" wind without, while the brown leaves that
once clothed them in verdure are whirled and
tossed about on the bare earth beneath, en-
blems of the deeting nature of mundane
beauty and show. Notwithstanding the wind
Madame Prevlle has gone out for walk, to
see certain of her poor tenants who are in
need of little help, which the good lady
never refuses 10 accord them. Helen is q
little dspleased to find that she has been kept
in ignorance Of this expedition until too late
to Join it; the more 80, rs, coming into the
parlor, she discovered that she is destined to
tate.d tste with Victor, from which she can
not, in courtesy, make her escape.
Not that she dislikes Victor. On the con
trary, she acknowledges that he has much
merit, and to her has been uniformly kind
But his kindness has taken shape which
makes her rather shy of him; for the truth

SPEECH OF SENATOR VOORHEES,.
MORE MONEY WANTED.

In the United States Senate, on Tuesday of
last week, Senator VOORHEES,, of Indiana,
called up the resolution submitted by him, on
the 18th of December last, declaring that it
is of the highest Importance that the fnan-
cial credit of the government be maintained,
and in order to do so the government itself,
in all its departments, should, in good faith,
keep all its contracts and obligations entered
into with it's own citizens. He referred to the
continued agitation of the financial question,
and said that it would never cease until the
people were satisfied that our vast debt is in
process of extinction upon principles of JUS
tice to tax-paying labor, or until, on the other
hand, they are snbjugated into silent submis.
sion, and the government itself becomes
changed in spirit and form into moneyed
aristocracy. 1t may be that this latter alter
native ia to overtake US. There are dark and
plentiful omens in our recent history, indica-
ting such conclusion, and there is numer-
GUS and powerful class in our midst who be-
lieve, as Alexander Hamilton declared, that
the British Government on this, as we'll as on
other points, is the best ever devised by the
wisdom of man. Those entertaining this
opinion have thus far triumphed in the 6nan-
oial legislation of the United States, and the
time bas now arrived when their victories
must be reversed, or this government will
soon cease to be Republican and this people
be no longer free.
He argued that to great extent our whole
financial system is an organized crime against
the laboring, tax.paying men and women Of
the United States, and those who thought, as
he did, that q grea, financial reform is de-
manded in order to secure the people from
slavery in fact, if not in name, were denounced.
He spoke of unholy avarice having its strong
holds, and privileged classes having entrench.
ed themselves, and said this plea of good
faith now so loud in our ears, has been in
voked in behalf of every wickedness that ever
cursed the world. He then spoke of the act
of February Is, 1862, as the beginning Of our
bonded debt The precious metals we're found
to be unequal to the emergency of war. Spe-
Gle payments were abandoned as soon as
the hour of trial came, and gold and silver
covered in the rear, while the legal tender
dollar went to the front with the flag, and
stayed there. He was amongst those who
doubted our right to issue it, but experience
had shown it (all things considered) the best
money that ever circulated on American soil.
He argued that by this act, and by similar
legislation at subsequent periods, every bond
issued by the government which did not, on
its face, stipulate for payment in coin, was
made payable by the express words of law in
legal-tender notes. He quoted from the Ian.
guage of the late Thaddeus Stevens to the ef-
feet that even the payment of the interest on
bonds in coin was an odious and uni just dis
elimination in favor of the bondholder. He
also quoted from the speeches of Senator sher.

Of obtaining it, and they ask that the amount
thus placed in circulation should bear
reasonable and judicious proportion to the
business transactions and the population of
the United States. Fourth, they demanded
that the currency authorized and circulated
on the authority of the government. shall be
made legal tender in payment Of all debts,
public and private, including dues to the
government. Fifth, they demand that here
after the financial policy of the country be
framed permanently in their interest, that
they shall not be Disseminated against in
future legislation as in the past, and that their
prosperity, and not the mere growth Of income
and retired capitalists, shall be the primary
duty of the government
In conclusion, Mr.. Voorhees, quoted from an
article be had noticed in certain Eastern
newspapers in regard to the rights of the
bondholders, the duty Of the laboring classes,
and the policy that should be pursued by
capitalists to counteract the efforts Of antici-
pated legislation on the silver question, and
said: "Sir, 1 have no word of menace to utter
on this floor but in behalf of every laborer
and every owner of the soil whom l repre-
sent, warn all such as value their invest
ments, that when these doctrines of despotism
are sought to be enforced, this fair land will
again be oonvulsed in agony, and the fires
of liberty will blaze forth again as they did
one hundred years ago in defence Of the nat
ural rights of man. [Applause in the CALLER
ies] May the wisdom of our fathers and the
benignity of our God avert such an issue; |;
but if it shall come, if infatuation has
seized our councils, the result will only add
one more instance to the long catalogue of
human crime and folly, where avarice, like
ambition, overleaps itself, and in its unholy
attempt to rob others of their possessions,
loses its own" [Great applause in the GAL

laughingly; "for 1 am persuaded that there
are many other things which would be much
greater misfortunes to you than my leaving
France"
II know of one other" rejoined Victor, ir
suppressed tone. He looked eagerly at her
as if about to say something more, checked
himself with an effort, and rising from hil
chair, walked somewhat hastily to the win
dow, where he stood for moment or two in
silence, looking out. Helen, somewhat EN-
barrassed, took up her embroidery again
drawing her needle through with fingers that
were little nervous in their movements
She began to wish for Madame Preville's re-
turn, and the wish was speedily gratiied
Victor, turning away from the window, pres
emily, remarked, in his ordinary manner
"There is my aunt coming up the avenue
now"
Shall we 90 and meet herr" exclaimed
Helen, springing up.
"If you wish it" he quietly replied. She
ran to get her shawl and hat; and during the
five minutes occupied in their walk, before
coming up with Madame Preville, their con
versation was of the most commonplace kind
"Here you are, my children" cheerfully ex
claimed the old lady, extending hand tc
each. "Helen, mon ange, have something
for you-a letter, which Jean got from the
poste as we passed by. 1t is from America
but not in your uncle's hand"
Old Jean fumbled in his pocket, and pro-
ducing the document, handed it to Helen
who received it eagerly. 1t bore the usual
postmark, New Orleans, but was directed in
a feminine hand, quite unfamiliar to her

about yourself WnaI are your autciPatious
in regard to leaving school ?"
"My anticipations !-Oh they are pleasant
ones, of course freedom from rules, liberty
to walk, ride, 60 out and dress as like, sleep
late in the mornings, and find time for every
thing, including my embroidery" said Hell
en-, mischievously.
"They do not include anything more i'm
portant-a journey of any sort, for instance ?"
"a journey Helen looked interested.
"What do you mean, Monsieurf"
81 had an iiea-I feared, from something
my aunt one day said-that possibly there
was a chance of your returning to your ma
tive land"
81 know nothing of ii" said Helen, a little
startled II don't think Madame Preville
can have received any communication from
nv uncle without informing me of it,"
"No, certainly; she has not told me of any
such communication. Only it seemed proba'
BILE to me that, your education being COM
pleted, your relatives in America would be
anxious for your return
"My relatives in America have certainly
never testified any anxiety on that score hith-
erto," said Helen. They have appeared will
ing enough to dispense with my presence"
"They know not what they lose" said Vic
tor, in low tone.
"However," continued Helen, allowing this
observation to pass unheeded, II have no
right to feel wounded or even annoyed at this
indifference, considering that they know ab-
solutely nothing of me- My uncle, l sup.
pose, vaguely remembers me as young child;
but his wife, you know, have never even
seen."

my precious, I've got a secret to tell you, be.
fore we part, as I've had weighing on my
heart this long time, and may be it'll make it
easier for you, KNOWN the truth, to let me 60.
Promise ME you won't be mad with your poor
old mammy-though twas sin, | know
She stopped, exhausted, by mingled excite
ment aud the fatigue of speaking. Posy, in
wonderment, lifted her tear.staned face, ia
listen for what was coming next.
The dying woman mustered all her strength
to 90 on. "Im afeard to 90 to the Judgment
seat, without maxim the confession to you
I've got so many sins weighing me down, as
can't make amends for, without carryin' this
one into my grave, unknown to you. Posy
you amt my own child, though I've taught
YOU to call me mother, and loved you, God
knows, as if was"
And then, in broken accents, she told how
she had found the little stray child, in the
lonely wood at nightfall, and taken it under
her own protection. Told, too, how carefully
she had kept out of reach Of discovery, and
ended by asking, humbly, to be forgiven fo'
the wrong she had done.
