through the abandonment of the case by
the legislature on account of the great
CAPT. Nelms, chief keeper Of the peni.
Tertiary was investigated, and shown to
have been guilty of gross malfeasance In
Office, but he escaped punishment from
the same cause that saved Renfroe. One
Murphy, state official, was shown to
have been bribed to secure the signing
and issue Of certain state bonds to cor
poration contrary to the law in the case.
The investigation showed an amount
of corruption which has had few if any
parallels in official quarters outside of
the city of New York; yet all these men
are Democrats, and were elected because
of their professions of virtue, and TO
remedy the evils alleged to have been
suffered by the state through negro and
carpet-bag rule! The worst carpet-bsg
and negro administration, however, that
ever had an existence never exceeded,
if it ever equaled, the corruptions Of
these professed reformers and "home-
rulers"
Senator Ben Hill is credited with SET
ting the investigation on foot that result
ed 10 disastrously to these reformers,"
not 80 much because of his love of Of
fetal honesty as because of his hatred of
Gov. Colquitt and his friends, who were
mixed up more or less in the scandalous
affair. The result of the exposure
is a division of the Democratic
party into two bitterly hostile
factions-the friends. of Hill and the
friends of the state oficers,-who VOW
vengeance upon each other. The Re,
publicans meanwhile stand back and
enjoy the exposures and the quarrel.
The result of all this may be the success
in the rext election of an independent
organization, embracing the Republicans
and certain of the Democrats.
Thus much space is given to this mat
ter to show how utterly hollow was the
greater part of the clamor of the Democ-
racy against the carpet.bag governments,
and how far short the Democratic party
south has fallen of its professions. The
Democratic home-rule administration OF
Louisiana has proved woeful failure,
as even Democrats admit; while those
Of Mississippi and South Caro-
lima have proved little more thar
the protectors of the political
assassins and scoundrels who have prac
tically destroyed everything like politica
equality and federation, and rendered
the lives and property Of all who oppose
them wholly insecure. Time is q great
unmasker, and it is steadily showing thu
people of the United States the true
character of the Democratic party as al
organization. 1t is not too much K
hope, therefore, that the time will com,
when the political aspect of the soutl
shall be radically changed and improved

A Weather Prophecy.

q
As Christmas day comes this year upon
Thursday, the following quotation from
an ancient MSS. in the British Museum
is pertinent for publication at the outset
of winter as a prophecy Of coming events
the approaching year:
If Xmas d~y on Thursday be,
A windy weather ye shall see;
Windy weather in each week,
The hard temp .sts strong ana thick;
The summer shall. be good and dry,
Corn aud beans shall multiply;
That year is good for lands to till;
Kings and Princes shall die by skill;
If child born that day shall be,
It shall happen right well for he;
Of deeds he shall be good and stable,
Wise Of speech and reasonable.
Whose that day goes thisving about,
He shall be punished without doubt;
Ana if sickness that day betide,
1t shall quickly from thee glide.
