AUDI AkTERAM PARTEM.

From a number Of letters published by
the New York Herald, yesterday, giving
s'the democratic side of the election story,'
in South Carolina, from gentleman of.that
State, whom that paper vouches TOR as
"prominent citizens,".. We select that of
Col. Dozier, which will be found in another
column, for the reason that we are person
ally acquainted with him, and know that
his character for veracity is above suspic-
ion. .t
No honorable gentleman lives in
South Carolina, or in any other State.
The Herald says: So little has been
heard from the democratic side concerning
the recent election In South Carolina, and
80 much from the republicans, that We have
thought it due to justice and gratifying tc
the American love of fair play to print the
letters from prominent South Carolina
democrats which appear elsewhere.
For the same reason we reprint Col
Doziers letter.

ROSE EYTINGR played last night at theOpe'
ra House to about 490psrsons. Whether the
small audience chilled the actors. or spirit
less acting caussd an unsympathetic and
emotionless audience, we are unprepared
and unwilling to undertake to decide, but
that there were mutual gratulations when
the curtain fell upon the closing scene was
quite evident. The performance was drag
from beginning to end.
The play, "Rose Michel" is not devoid
of interest, and offers occasional situations
for sensational acting, but, as a whole, as
presented last night, dull is the word which
properly characterizes it.

IExsDroRD,s wARrAsrs,

The frightful oppression and wrong
growing out Of the arbitrary and unjust
power given to landlords in THIS State
cannot be too soon put stop to. Every
Evening, in a fair, well considered article
few days ago, while deploring the
occasional cruelties practised BY means OF
landlords distress, seems to think that II
the exemption law was extended to rent 1t
would prevent the poor from getting
houses. As against this view we give the
example of Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
and New York. In the latter State the
right of distress for rent is not given by the
Code, and . landlords debt must be sued
to judgmept, the same as any ether
contract, before an execution can issue
against the tenant. #...-..., r.. 3.
In New Jersey fair exemption law does
Justice 10 both tenant and landlord.
In Pennsylvania the right of distress for
rent exists, but $500 exemption is allowed.
as in any other contract; hut landlords, by
obtaining waiver OF the exemption acts,
evade the merciful intention Of the general
law. The Legislature has however BY the
act, 1876, declared all waivers of sewing
machines, and certain other articles void,
Cruel landlords, once in q while In Phila-s
delphia, strip poor tenant Of his all, and
send hfm naked and heggared upon the
world but woe betide him If his distress
is in the slightest regard incorrect. Within
the past few years large damages have been
given against landlords for illegal distress.
We know of case within three months
where $500 damages were given to poor
man who was put out upon the street BY q
technically illegal distress. The dread of
such proceeding is curb to the barbarity
Of brutal landlords, end in the city nameu
a tenant although having waived the
exemption law, is usually permitted to
carry his few traps away with him rather
than have the risk of an action for damages.
We can see no reasen why money becoming
1us upon contract for the hire of house
should be held any more sacred than .
similar one for the hire of horse or the |
price of meat, groceries, or any essential
'equisite of life. 81 |
The poor have no more trouble in getting
houses in any one of the three States
lamed than here-a fact which completely
the argument, that If the exemp>,
ion law was extended to rent in the State, a

Speeches delivered at various places on
"iorefather's day"show thatmany goodmen
still harbor the delusion tn at the Pilgrims
came to this country to establish religious
liberty. If anyone had advocated such a
.'heresy" as religious liberty among the
Puritans, they would have hurled him out
of their midst with little ceremony, or
given him taste of worse punishment. We
have no doubt of the sincerity of those stern
men of the olden times, but they had no
conception of religious federation. One hum

GEORGE ELIOT AND PROF. LEwEs

From the New York Times.
Since The death Of George Henry Lswes
many Of the newspapers have been clumsi,
ly discussing his relation to George Eliot,
whose genius and literary labors have en-
tirely oyershadowed his fame and his
works, deserving as they are. The press
generally speaks of her as his wife, which
she was, spiritually, though not legally.
owing to circumstances that could not be
controlled. The wife of the author eloped
from him many years ago; but, having re-
pented Of her folly, Land wishing to re.
turn to him, he very generously restored
her to his heart and home. She proved to
be incurably inconstant. She left him a
second time, and he soon after met George
Eliot, between whom and himself sprang
up strong friendship, based upon perfect
mental sympathy and community of taste.
They would have married, but they could
not do 20, inassuch as, having once con-
doned his wife's offense, the laws Of Great
Britain were not capable Of granting him a
divorce. He could not marry again until
his late vife's death, and she unfortunate
ly, showed every symptom Of longevity.
Such conditions naturally produced al
dilemma. After long deliberation and
consultation with common friends, among
them vsome of the best minds, of Europe,
they decided to dwell under the same
roof, disregarding couyentionality for the |
sake of mutual assistance and mental
growth, course in which their friends, it |
il said, fully sustained them. George
Eliot has been called and known for years
as Mr-. Lewes, and will so continue to be |
called and known, albeit the former wife
still lives, and bids fair to survive the
gifted novelist, who is nearly sixty, and
has long been in very delicate health. !

THERE is said to be determined effort
On the part of leading Democrats of Chic
to force Senator Thurman to accept the
nomination for Governor. Notwithstanding
his expressed positive declinatien, It is
thought that he may be induced to recss-
slider his determination, and lead the Demo
cratic hosts to inevitable victory. 1t is re :
ported that the feeling in favor of his noni-
nation gathers strength daily, and the pre-
liabilities are that he will be nominated by

POLITICAL POINTS.

Springfield Republican: South Carolina
sets Massachusetts, one good example, any
way. Her Legislature met only four weeks
ago, and IL adjourns this morning, after
the shortest session since the war. The
Democrats seem to have used their almost
absolute power quite wisely. .-.
Philadelphia Times: Nearly all the Re-
publican organs In this State are running
Blaine for the Presidency now, just as they
did some four years ago, when, after the
Pennsylvania delegation was got together
under orders, at Cincinnati, they found they
had been running the wrong man. O
Chicago Tribune The Baltimore Gazette
thinks Hayes letter OF acceptance, In which
hs pledged himself, if elected, not to stand
for second term, does not debar him from
the candidacy in 1880, as he was appointed
President, not elected. A new aspect of
the Great Fraud that we had not thought
of before
Charleston News and Courier The as
sertion that lawlessness exists at the South
In any greater degree than iu the East,
North or West, is falsehood, as can be
proved by thousands of Northerners who
have moved to the South, and are now Inv
ipgd mong us and Mtnding their own busi-
ness, instead of eoncocting sensational let
ters for Northern newspapers.
st. Louis Times-Journal The fact was
noted some time ago that the South Caro-
lima Legislature contains six colored mem
bsrs--all Democrots. 1t Is now stated that
the Texas Legislature contains five colored
members-all Democrats. The fact is
slowly forcing itself upon the consciousness
of the American people that Democrats do
net object to the negro in office, If the negro
is Democratic, and that Republicans lose
their tbusiasm for the colored brother as
soon as he votes the Democratic ticket.

IT Is conviction upon the minds of all
intelligent msu, lucid as the MONDAY light,
that Mexico must have railroads or she ID
lest. The Mexican people have not the
capital nor the experience for building
them. Consequent she must look abroad
for this great factor of her future pros
perity and salvation. It is uselese to dis
guise the fact that neither capital nor
railroad builders car be Induced to come
from Europe. No person or company in
any of the nations of that continent has
made an offer to this end. Therefore, IT Is
to the United States where Mexico has to
look. The capital and builders for her rail-
reads must come from that country

a majority Of Republican voters. We do
not recall one in which there is not 9 major.
ity of Republicans in the Legislature. But
the roll may be called in vain for . colored
man to answer to his name as member OF
such body. After all the cry necessarily

leges for colored men, where, in all the

THE AoUE.

r..
Once upon an evening blsary, es.s.. .
While / sat me dreaming, dreary,
In the sunshine thinking over .aersl s.
Thiags that passed In days OF yore,
While / nodded, nearly sleeping,
Gently came q something creeping,
Creeping upward from the floor. .
"'Tis cooling bresze," Imuttered, e.
"From the regions meath the floor;
Only this and nothing more" rysI
Ali distinctly lember-,e,. .r
1t was In that wet September
When the earth and every member
OF creation that 1t bore, ,... b. H..
Had for weeks and months been soaking
In the meanest, most provoking,
Foggy rain, that without joking,
We had ever seen before, ..
80 knew 1t must be very
Cold and damp beneath the floor
Very cold beneath the floor.
90 sat me, nearly mapping,
In the sunshine, stretching, gaping,
With a feeling quite delighted
With the breezes meath the floor,
TIL / felt me growing colder,
And the stretching waxing bolder,
And myself now feeling older,
Older than / felt before;
Feeling that my joints were sitter
Than they were In days of yore,
Sitter than the'd been before.
All along my back, the creeping
soongave place to rustling, leaping:
As If countless frozen demons
Had concluded to explore
All the cavities-the varmints!-
S'Twixt nay 2nd neither garments,
Through my boots into the floor;
Then ! found myself shaking,
Gently shaking more and more,
| Every moment more and more.
Twas the ague; and 1t shook me
Into heavy clothes, and took me
Shaking to the kitchen, every
l Place where there was warmth In yore
Shaking till the china ratified, .
Shaking till the morals battled;
Shaking, and with all my warming,
Feeling colder than before;
Shaking till 1t had exhausted
All it's powers to shake me more,
TIL 1t could not shake me more.
Then 1t rested till the morrow,
When 1t came with all the horror
Thatit had the face to borrow,
Shaking, shaking as before,
And from that day in September
Day which l shall long remember
1t has made diurnal visits, aI...
| Shaking, shaking, OIL so sore;
Shaking off my boots, and shaking
Me to bed II nothing more,
Fully this If nothing more.
| And to-day the swallows fitting
kound my cottage see me tting
Moodily Within the sunshine
Just inside my silent door,
Waiting for the ague, seeming,
Like man forever dreaming:
And the sunlight on me streaming
Casts no shadow ON the floor,
For am too thin and sallow
To make shadows on the floor
Nary a shadow any more.
