A NEWPORT admirer of Wade Hampton,
Mr.. W. W. Woolsey, recently sent the gov
ernor splendid pair of silver spurs with
the following note: "These spurs were made
by the Bogatano silversmiths after Bolivar
struck the shackles from their limbs and
made them free. They may well be worn by
one who has made equal rights before the
law blessing and feality to so many thous-
and freedmen" Now this is news. 1t is
well known that the rebels put down the
rebellion, but not generally suspected that
they liberated the slaves too. We may soon
be called upon to build monument to JEFF
Davis as the Great Emancipator. Who has
got the pen with which he signed tie proc
lamation? 1t will prove fortune to its
owner.

The following from the Boston Herald is
commended to the attention of Maine Green
hackers: We can understand why specula-
tors generally and men loaded with mort
gagged real estate, which has fallen on their
hands, should think it desirable, for them, to
have the currency inflated and divorced from
real value. We can even understand why
capitalists, consulting only their present in
terests, might go IN for currency which in
creases the power of capital. But working.
men ought to be unanimous and earnest in
favor of honest money. 1t is their best safe
guard. Whatever money is in circulation,
capital controls it. 1t is the arms, the feet,
the tools, the machinery by which capital
acts. A redundant currency increases the
relative power of capital over labor, and when
a currency represents no real value-is based
upon nothing actual "a promise never to be
fulfilled-the workingman. who has only his
labor to sell. is completely at the mercy of the
men who, having the capital, control the cur
rency. In the long run, an irredeemable cur
rency is bad for both capital and labor, as our
experience shows clearly enough, but its first
and worst effects are always felt by labor.

AT the close of the Cabinet meeting
Friday the cou.se which the government
will pursue in regard to the revenue
officers in South Carolina was deter
mined. Earle, the government coun-
sci, arrived and gave the President and
Attorney General full information in regard
to the condition Of affairs. Before Mr.. Earle
left South Carolina he had taken out writ
of habeas corpus from the desk of the circuit
court of the United States, and the marshal
had served it upon the sheriff having the
prisoners in charge. This state officer refused
fatty to recognize the writ, and the marshal
decided not to take steps to enforce it until
he learned the result of the conference to
| which Mr.. Earle had been summoned. Up-
| on his arrival he had consultation with the
| President and Attorney General, and at the
close of brief Cabinet meeting, where the
case was not discussed, Mr.. Evarts was called
| into consultation with the President and Mr..
| Devens. He, upon hearing the facts, imme-
diately advised prompt measures on the part
| of the government to release its officers and
take them out of the bands of the state au-
thorties, as the law clearly empowers the
United States to do. Mr.. Earle was, there.
fore, instructed to proceed TO Baltimore and
make an arrangement with Judge Bond, the
United States judge who presides over the
circuit court which includes South Carolina
to go to that state at the earliest date posi-
bic and hold special term for hearing the
case of those revenue officers. Mr.. Earle left
for Baltimore for this purpose. He win re-
turn at once to South Carolina, and the Unit.
ed States marshal will again present writ Of
hGbeas corpus to the sheriff. If the latter
again refuses, which it is expected he will do,
the marshal will be directed to summon a
| posse to enforce the writ. The sheriff will
also be in contempt of the United States
court, as will the jailor also in case he Joins
with the sheriff. The statute is clear as to
authority of the marshal to take the prisoners
from the custody of the state court by force,
and Ee will not only be sustained in using
force but be required to do so in case it be,
comes necessary. Its pity, as the Hartford
Courdnt suggests, that the ghost of Andrew
Jackson couldn't whisper word or two to
the Administration, and have this little mat.

1 Low State of the System
From Rev. John Gregory.

Pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church at Pitts
ton, Luze,ne County, Pa.
My Dear Sir-Havng at various times, personally,
and in my own and other families, tested the great
value of the medicine called PERUVIAN SYRUP,
or PROTECTED SOLUTION OF PROTOXIDE OF
IRON, most cheerfully recommend it, especially to
those who are suffering from dyspeptic and nervous
disorders. AS reliable and powerful alternative, 1t
is, 1 think, unsurpassed; aud as tonic, free from
all the Objectionable features of alcoholic remedies,
it is most efficient auxiliary to the temperance
cause. One of the greatest hindrances to the tenn
peranoe reform at present is. as Think the medical
use of alcoholic stimulants. Whatever may be ar
gued as to their necessity in certain cases, have
in the PERUVIAN SYRUP, a safe and efficient sub
stitue for those dangerous remedies. This testimo
ny is given unsolicited, with the hope that some who
are not yet acquainted with the valuable properties
of the medicine may be induced to give it a trial.
Yours truly,

The Investigation

The Democrats did very good thing for
the country and very poor thing for them
selves when they called the "Visiting states
men" to the stand. OF course they did not
intend that good should come Of the investi-
cation but they have been misled by the willy
Butler. His object is to show that bargain
was entered into with the Southern Demo-
cratic leaders to complete the electoral count.
He has no interest in demonstrating that
Louisiana was carried by the Democrats. On
the contrary he wishes to prove that Packard
is the rightful Governor of that state. In en-.
deavoring to prove this he has brought out
unimpeachable evidence that the ssvisiting
statesmen did not tamper with the returning
board nor enter into conspiracy with Louis
lana politicians to make false count. That
is clearly demonstrated. On the one side we
have the testimony of honorable gentlemen
like Messrs. Sherman, Garfield, and Hale.
On the other side the testimony of self-ac-
knowledged liars like Anderson and Weber.
There can be no hesitation with candid men
in choosing between these witnesses. The
evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of the
Republicans.
Another matter has been timely brought to
the recollection Of the country, the terrible
barbarities practiced upon the colored people
of Louisiana by the White League in the
campaign of 1876. All the evidence that is
good for anything goes to show that Repub.
lican voters in large numbers were kept from
the polls by intimidation and not infrequently
murder. There was an organized attempt to
carry the State by violence, an attempt which
would have succeeded had not the returning
board in the exercise of its acknowledged
lawful powers thrown out those parishes
which were carried by intimidation and
fraud. The state of affairs there is horrible
to contemplate. It suggests, as Secretary
Sherman forcibly says, a chapter from the
history of hell.
The Democratic attempt to make political
capital by the investigation has signally
failed. Every day consumed in the examina-
ton adds to the already weighty proof that
the gubernatorial and electoral vote of Lou
isiana in 1876 belonged to the Republicans.
