The Death of the Old Year.


Full knee-deep lies the winter snow,
And the winter winds are YEARLY signing
Toll We the church-bell sad and slow,
And tread softly and speak low,
For the old year lies a-dying.
Old Year, you must not die;
You came to us SO readily,
You lived with us so steadily,
Old Year, you shall not die.
He lieth still he doth not move;
He will not see the dawn of day.
He hath no other life above.
He gave me friend, and true, true love,
And the New Year will take 'em away.
Old Year, you must not go;
So long as you have been with us,
Such Joy as you have seen with us,
O!d Year, you shall not go.
He frothed his bumpers to the brim;
A J 'ller year we shall not see.
Blu though his eyes are waxing dim,
Aud though his foes speak ill Of him,
He was friend TO me-
Old Year, you shall II I die;
We did so laugh and cry with you,
I've half mind to die with you,
Old Year, ifyou must die.
He was full of Ike and jest,
But all his merry Gnips are DER.
To see him die, across the waste,
His so aud heir doth ride post-hastc,
But he'll be dead before.
Every one for his own.
The night is starry and cold, my friend
Aud the New Ye +, blthe and bold, my
friend,
Com up to take his own.
How hard he breathes over the snow,
heard just now the Growing cock.
The shadows flicker to and fro;
The cricket chirps the light burns low;
IT'S nearly twelve o'clock.
Shake hands, before you die.
Old Year we'll dearly rue for you;
What is it, we can do for you?
Speak ont before you die.
His face is growing sharp and thin
Alack our friend is gone.
Close up his eyes; tie up his chin;
Step from the corpse and let him in,
That standeth there alone,
And waiteth at the door;
There's a new foot on the floor, my friend,
And new face at the door, my friend,
A new face at the door,

GOVERNOR WADE HAMPTON, so much
oepraised by the Hayes organs, in his Fourth
of July speech warned the people of South
Carolina that the work of political redemp
ton is not yet achieved, and that there is an
awkward rift in the Democratic Lutte. Quot
ing the words of the Charleston Nei0s, in its
comments on that speech, ''the Democracy
carried the State in 1876. and, excepting in
Beaufort and Sumter, elected their cand-
dates at the special elections held in 1877.
Nothing was impossible to people as united
and resolute as the people of South Carolina
were two years ago. The Republicans died
hard, but they did die. J here is no reason,
however why that which was cut down and
rotted away as 'Radcalism.' shall not spring
up again and ripen this summer as INDIE
pendent Democracy No opposition will be
made to the State ticket to be renominated
by the Democracy. There will not be, so far
as we have heard, any distinctively Republi-
can ticket for the legislature and county Off
ces in any county. But the Republicans do
not mean to abstain from voting. They will
support Independent Democrats wherever
they can find them; or they will vote mixed
ticket-part Democratic and part Republi
can" They will do anything to defeat the
Democracy and perpetuate the illiberal and
proscriptive Radicalism which robbed every
southern State.

WE publish elsewhere interviews with four
leading Ohio politicians that will be read
with interest-De Golyar Garfield, Charley
Foster, Sergeant alarms Thompson and Sen
ator Thurman. Foster is not hopeful. The
judiciary committee of the house took all the
campaign fodder away from his party by the
passage of the resolution not to disturb his
fraudulency, Hayes. He is sad. He is de-
jected. He has some misgivings as to his re-
election, and, of course, cannot be happy.
Garfield, whom Hayes cheated out of the Ohio
senatorship to make way for Stanley Math
ews, is cheerful under the circumstances and
sanguine. He is as illiberal as ever, and as
ready to prosecute southerners as in 1866,
when he lent all his powers to enforce the
odIous reconstruction measures by which the
Radicals disfranchised our citizens and sought
to perpetuate themselves in power, as Bar
bour Lewis did here in Memphis with the
connivance of all the Radicals, including
Kortrecht and Pierce. De Golyar sees the
doom. of. his party plainly written, but he is
too much of partisan to admit it. He dies
hard. Senator Thurman, it will be seen, is
sanguine of great success in Ohio in No.
vember, and thinks that success-twelve out
of fourteen congressional dlstricts-will go
far toward deciding the Presidential contest.
What Mr. Thompson says is equally reassur
ing for Democrats, especially for Mr.. Thur
man himself, for whom, it is well-known, he
entertains the most exalted respect.

Of safety, the only hope OF the southern people.
1t Is fast ascending to power, and no treach-
cry on the part of the Shelby county Democ-
racy can prevent ITS electing a President
in 1880. The National party is confined TO
only few localities. and Is the refuge OF Rad
zeal ofiice-seekers. AIDED by 4 few disappoint-
ed Democrats 1t us cling to the Demo-
cratic party. thereby strengthening and ena-
bling it to accomplish those reforms which
reflection and common sense will teach every
man can never be accomplished under the
new. hedged organization called Nationalist and
led bv men who. in their hatred of the south
ern people, have disfranchised, plundered,
and robbed them. Every sensible man knows
that the Republican party, the party which
Pierce, Kortrecht q Co. have so long sus-
tanned, has by its corruptions shaken to its
foundations the most solid government the
world ever saw, and brought to the verge of
ruin a people otherwise prosperous and hap
py. If the people of Shelby would free the
country of Radical rule, if they would return
a Democrat to congress from this district,
and If they would be part of the mighty
host that intend to elect Democratic Presi-
dent in 1880, let them support the Demo
cratic nominees on the first day of August.
But if they desire TO see Randolph elected to
congress, Pierce, Kortrecht, Eaton, Shaw,
Garrett and Smith restored to power in this
county, vote the Radical ticket which marches
under the National banner.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, always reliable, says that a
few more removals by the President will
arouse the anti-administration Republicans
to such degree that they may change their
opinion of the Potter investigation and con-
clude to assist General Butler in his efforts to
show up a conspiracy. in order to lay found
alton for impeachment. The assertion is
freely made by Republicans that the Presi-
dent would not have dared to make the New
York customhouse removals Immediately upon
the adjournment of congress, when the Pot
ter committee had not secured the testimony
of a number of persons who have found it
convenient to have forgetful memories. The
anti-Hayes Republicans take to themselves
the credit of preventing the Potter commit
tie from showing up the worst feature of the
electoral rascalities, and now many of them
are silently regrettiny their own efforts to
prevent all the facts from coming out.

WE publish ON our fourth page to-day a
communication signed "More Anon, which is
a complete and unanswerable vindication of
Judge Clapp's recent speech, and of his po-
litical course. No man in Memphis who has
taken an interest in local, State or national
politics, has done so from a nobler or less in
terested standpoint than he. Pure and I'M
selfish, he has never failed, when called upon,
to give his services in behalf of the comnu
nifty of which he is one of the very best repre-
sentatives. He has never asked office, but
has refused tempting tenders of support for
any Office in the gift of the people worthy his
acceptance. These he has always resisted,
saying that he would cheerfully do what he
could for the Democratic party-would work
for it and speak for it, but he would not hold
Office for it. 1t is this map, as liberal as the
word Democrat implies, who is stigmatized as
an Liberal Bourbon, who neither forgives nor
forgets-stigmatized as Bourbon because he
cannot so sufficiently forget reconstruction or
forgive the Radical frauds and corruptions as
to embrace Radicalism.

A SAMPLE of the gross exaggeration in
dulged in by the demagogues who pretend to
be Nationals and workingmen's friends is
found In the statement of the communists of
Massachusetts that forty thousand people of
that State were unemployed. To find out if
this were true, an accurate investigation was
made by the State bureau of statistics of
labor, and the returns that have been re-
ceIved from about ninety towns and cities, if
they may be taken as a fair average of the
whole, would indicate that there are between
four and FIVE thousand skilled laborers actu-
ally out of employment in the State, and
something like double this number of un-
skilled workmen. There is quite a proper
ton of these, however, who find occasional
employment, while, of course. a few are of
the class known as bummers, who would not
work at an honorable calling had they the
opportunity.
