THE idea that religion is kind of
slavery to which none can submit
without sacrificing the natural enjoy
ments of life, has ever been the great
est hinderance tn It's advancement
among mankind. How much wiser
and better should We be if We could
carry along with US. from infancy to
old age, the full conviction that Lap-
piness is the substantial cultivation
and exercise of the Christian virtues.

AN UPRIGHT LIFE. Nothing is
more certain than that human conduct
produces its effect upon human char
acter and determines its future weel or
woe. Virtue and uprightness give the
pure heart and clear concience, whose
work is an ample reward for effort and
sacrifice. Vice and wrong indvita bly
leave their marks upon the soul and
tend to misery. Retribution follows as
the night and day upon human action.
Call it heaven and hell, or what you
will, confine it to this life or project
through all eternity, the one great
principle is the same. and it is that
which concerns US as human beings.
Goodness hath its rewards; sin hath its
punishment.

PI.ACE IN WAR.


Miss CLARA BARTON Is In Washington, has
purchased a residence, aud taken up her abode
once more in the city which was tho scene Of
much merciful work done by her during the
war. With health restored, after long years
of suffering and wcariness, brought on by her
philanthropic labors, she comes TO prosecute
new work OF humanitarian benevolence.
She Is intrusted by tho central commission
having In charge tho Geneva treaty with the
mission to our Government Of obtaining Its
signature to that treaty. which provides for
the neutrality Of all sanitary personel aud ma
terAl in times Of war, and their safe convey
ance TO and fro between tho hostile armies.
Nothing short Of tho .cntire Rboiishmont Of
deadly strife could contain so much that is con-
ducivo to wipinx out the miseries Of tho battlo-
field As does this Itreaty. It has boon we'll
tested In many wars since its inception In 1868,
notably In the Franco-P -Prussian Of lS70-Tl,
and in the late war between Russia aud Turkey,
and not doubt remains regarding the fcasi-
bilty of every article oftho treaty.
As wo have said Miss BARTON Is hero to get
this Government to indorse It, She was hero
last winter on the same errand, but for some
reason the President, within whose province
II lies to sign such paper as this is failed to
comply with tho most reasonable and merciful
request.
1t may be that we shall never again havo
two sections Or two classes ofou nation stand
ing face to face, with deadly determination to
destroy each other; wo may never again see
our fair fields soaked with the blood Of our sons
and strewn with wounded, dying, and dead.
/ Duf Ghnulb puci, N nv what xxnIll mt
| an organization be worth to us which should
render impossible an AndeBonville or a Lib
| boy; which should carry help alike to the
stricken of each army, and bo ready with
everything that human intelligence and be-
nenevolence could suggest for the care aud
comfort of the sick aud wounded, TO put itself
under the direction Of the military surgeons
general at the first sound of battle?
| But not only in war does this treaty hold
good for beucyoleuco. 1t provides for such
organization of national charity that Its
physicians, nurses, ambdlanccs, lint, baudagcs
com forts for the sick, disinfectants, Sc, shall
DO always ready for any emergency Of great
national or local calamity. Tho societies for
relief which are formed according to the pro-
visions of the treaty are self.sustaining; they
are in every State, county, and town, and
while they arc recognized by the Government
they govern themselves. There is no call In
any country for Government support beyond
the gift which sovereisns bestow, or the mod
crate appropriation Republics make to estab.
lish the central bureau of the National Com
mission. There is such perfect and open
systcmization that there is no opportunity OF
misdirection or peculation of either funds OF
material no opportunity for any one to pocket
dollar of the generosity of tho people, or by
any ingenuity to turn aside any Of the funds
from their proper direction.

plains most piteously because the New York
Herald, the New York Ercning Post, and the
Springfield Republican raise their voices in
ccnsure and charge the white people of
South Carolina with committing outrages
which no cloak of charity can be stretched
over" This little piece Of merite1 CEN

Courier from its work of bull-dozing and
thing like serse of its unfavorablo atti-

OF Its valuable space In the presentation Of
statements and sophistries, with view 10
cloaking the enormities with which the
Democratic party Is adjudged guilty by all
candid, order-loving, and lnw-abiding citi-
zens of the United States, either North or
South. II has evidently been led to see the
case momeutalily as others see IL, and 1t
shrinks slightly from the public gaze under
the exposed iniamy of its party but its
sense of shame passes off readily, and, in
tho face of known Republican majority Of
more than 10000 in 1872, with very slight
changes in population,or or sentiment since,
except such change as has been wrought by
intimidation aud violence, it now declares
openly aud with brazen check and tongue,

strained to Condemn without measure or
stint. No one would complain If every
citizen of that State WAS allowed the same
freedom Of political action that is vouch-
s,itd in all the North, though II should give
a Democratic majority. But the Republi-

wrong that is resorted to to accomplish

THE charge that the present Administra-
tion bought Its way into power by promis-
ing Offices and other official favor to the Re-
publicans of the Southern States who, as II
is phrased by the Democracy, counted
"HAYEs in," falls TO the ground OF Its own
weakness when all the facts are known. II
these men who did the counting had been
amenable To bribes the Democrats would
have gobblcd them all up There is not an
office in the gift OF the Administration, or
one that has been bestowed upon any of
these returning board officials, that Is worth

no bearing on the question whether General

JUDGE SIMMONS, OF st. Louis, has reaf-
frmed many previous decisions upon the
question of right OF way between pedes-
trians and vehicles on the public streets,
particularly at street crossings, in favor of
the former. An application Of the terms Of
this decision TO the streets of Washington
would not be amiss 1t is true that our
thoroughilres are broad wide enough IN
fact, to accommodate all the vehicles that
may be jlmmrd into them with sufli-
cicnt space for their easy progress, but the
that have recently occurrcd from acts OF

must have known their utter falsity. After
thus charging upon tho Senator willful and
deliberate falsehood, the Marshal shows con-
clusively by the figures that Senator NOR

position, as follows:

In every peaceablo section o: the coun-
try, In the Republican State Of Iowa, for
example, combinations are often made be-
tween Democrats aud Republicans, OF
Greenbackcrs and others, in the formation
of tickets and arrangement OF candidates
for Office, and the result Is confined TO cx-
pressions Of condemnation for violation of
party discipline by the straightputs on
either side. In South Carolina, however,
such combinations are not tolentod by the
Democracy. The Democrat who afliliates
ever so remotely with the Republicans is
menaced with social and political ostracism
or something worse, and made to feel that
he has been guilty Of an objectionable Of
lense. 1t is this spirit of intolerance that
makes freedom of political conviction an
impossibility in that State and the entire
South, and serves to sustain the natural
Democratic proClivity in the direction of
violence and outrage. As an illustration Of
this meaning, the following editorial re-
mark of the Charleston News and Courier is

What about the Democrats who were nomi.
