strong point he makes against me is,
that being nothing but poor mechanic
and common laborer, I have no right to
express an opinion through the press,
and that laborirg mans political sig

weather vane, which is turned by every
wind that blows. I was not aware, until
this hoary-hcaded philosopher taught me,
that opinions must not be endorsed I'm.

ly expressed, simply because that opinion
tends to keep the public treasury one

valiant leader for the poor mechanic,
how proud We will all be to marshal our
forces under your banner, and march
with you to the treasury, where you
would stand at the door to keep US thieves
away, and as soon as we were gone, you
would run off with the funds. What a
pity you hadn't your Battery" here to !
sweep from the earth these thieves and |
working men, who dare to express an

you come around on your annual tour of

nestle in the bosom of their deliverer,
and while they are holding their ear
down to hear the beatings of that great
heart, would advise them

If they should happen to have any nickels

myself are concerned, I don't suppose
that either Of US will use the Republican

there was llttl. or no opposition to the

that the Republican party must have had

never to have been given them. They

Democrats Demanding Proofs.
WAsIIINGToN, December, 8.

4 highly important conference of
conspicuous Southern Democrats was
held this evening, Mt which it was de-
sage, in the House, by calling on him to
produce proof of his statements. SEN
ator Lamar, Gordon and Butler, Repre-
sentatives Ellis and Gibson, and Eyins.
of South Carolina, and Slcmm0ns, of Ar
kansas, were present. 1t was decided
that Gibson should present resolution,
which, after reciting in preamble the
utterances OF iiie nitssugc viii Tetiiest
Hayes to inform the House of the nature.
extent and sources of proof. upon which
these grave charge arc made against cx-
tensive regions of country.
1t is said by those at the conference.
and was strongly asserted there, that
Hayes has not and cannot produce
creditabe evidence upon which to
substantiatc his charges. NJ. c. Butler,
for instances, said that as far as intimi-
dation iii the Congressional District
where hc lives is concerned, lie ~0;iiiii
willingly rest his case on negro testimony.
In other instances Of alleged outrages
which were brought forward, those par.
ticirating in the conference expressed the
belief that it could be satisfactorily
shown that where they we're not the un-
aided invention of Republicans they
were largely exaggerated by them.
Another method suggested for pro-
cecding 10 clear up these vague charges
is afforded by II rcccnt charge made by
the somewhat notorious Swails. whose
account Of the so.callcd Beaufort bull
doing has been wildly quoted. Swails
pretcnds that he filed charges and proof
of intimidation before Judge Bond who
declined to act upon them and enforce
the law. 1t is proposed to make this al
legged failure Of Judge Bond the ground
for preferring articles of impeachment
and referring them to the Judiciary

The election of Gov Wade Hampton
to the United States Senate on last Tues
day, to succeed Patterson on the 4th day
of March next, will give universal salts
faction to the people Of the State and to
the Democratic party throughout the
United States. The State is now re-
deemed from Radical misrulc, and Fed
cral politics must claim the attention of
her rulers, and we know of no man nj
the present time who can better subscrve
the interests OF the whole country in
Congress than Gov. Hampton. In the
past he inns filled every oiiicia! position
which has been confidcd to him with
honor to himself and TO the satisfaction
Of the people. He now enters upon q
sphere of far greater responsibility, and
VIC feel assured that the interests of the
State which he will represent in the Fed
eral Congress will be fully protected and
promoted. Butler and Hampton wor

4 Promising New Jersey Boy.

There is a boy in New Jersey. who,
IT his life is spared, is destined to
make his mark. There may be more.
hut there Is one that we know Of. He
attends the district school near Port
Jarvis. LaLterlv The BOYS have been
in the habit Of tossing their baseball
across the room from one to another
during school hours. This was not
conducive to study nor 10 that degree
OF mental diligence which is exacted
IN New Jersey schools. and the teach
er accordingly forbade it, In order to
gIAe force to his order, he declared be
would burn any ball he captured in
transit. That very day be did cap
iure one and threw it into the fire.
hoping that this summary cremation
OF the article would have salutarv
effect on the future conduct of the
school. The next day n new base
ball was rather conSpicuons!v dis
played by a nervy youth, who seemed
devot,dly attached TO it, who. after
fondllng it short time, actually
threw II across the room q another
boy while the teacher Was looking
straight at him. OF course the teach.
er captured The ball and FASTENED to
The stove with it, Bu; Just as he was
about u throw it in, bis quick eye
discovered peculiar expression in
the face Of the owner OF the ball and
smile of serene triumph. The
teacher had been boy himself once,
and he knew the expression meant
mischief. The next day on removing
the leather cover and thin wrapping
OF yarn be found the interior a solid
mass Of powder, containing enough
to have lifted the roof off ihe house
and probably y most O. the scholars into
eternity. If be had thrown the ball
into the stove, as be came near doing,
the ingenious lad who planned the
move! torpedo might not have sur
vived to enjoy the fruits of bis inven-
ton, bnt thanks to the timely caution
OF the teacher and on overruling prov
idence, the youth is spared to pursue
his experiments in % broader feld and
on larger scale. '
