THE Fusionists in the central part of the
county are busy circulating the report that
William H. Smith, esq.,, of Raymond is anx-
ious to get back into the Democratic ranks.
The statement is false, and as absurd as it is
false. Mr.. Smith left that party upon prin-
ciple and proposes to stay with the Republi-
can party, where he has done and is doing
valiant service for the cause

A Shabby Trick.

Alarmed by the fact that considerable
number Of the younger Irishmen of Ameri-
ca are showing disposition to break the
political shackles which have so long bound
their race to the Democratic Party, the man.
ayers OF that party have devised charac-
teristically mean and dishonest trick to
check the movement They have issued a
circular containing catechism abusive of
the Catholic Church marked ''Revised from
the Portland PRESS 1t seems hardly nee
essary to say that the whole thing is a rank
fabrication--its authorship and the fact that
it is republished in the Argus indicate it's
falsity sufficiently; but to set the question
fully at rest we simply declare that nothing
ever appeared in the PRESS with editorial
sanction which could be by any fair process
construed into the miserable mess which
the Argus prints. The thing as put forth
in this Democratic circular and published
in the Argus is wicked falsehood, and
those who publish it know it to be such.
1t frequently happens that newspaper
prints things totally hostile to it's own opin-
ions; for instance, the PRESS gives reports
of Democratic speeches at public meetings,
it prints the platforms of that party and the
acceptance letters of its candidates. The
Argus might as we'll copy from some of
those as "utterances of the PRESS as to do
. the shabby thing it has done in this case.
The PRESS has sometimes criticised the
attitude Of the Catholic Church toward the
Free School system and will continue to do
so whenever circumstances require it. But
. It has never attacked that or any other re-
fgion. 1t believes in the largest liberty of
conscience, and holds that no man is iusti-
fed in quarreling with the beliefs of any
other man so long as there is no interfer-
ence with the rights or the welfare of the
community. The Republican Party is the
party of freedom, education and the equal
rights of all men before the law, irrespec-
tive of race or creed. The Democratic
party is the party of caste and privilege, the
party of violence, fraud, slavery and op-
preston. If the younger. .Irishmen, becom-
ing educated and familiar with our institu-
tions, choose to ally themselves with the
party that appeals to their higher qualities
instead of pandering to their lower instincts,
no such trivial devices as this ''circular''
J business will deter them. Let them exam
inc and they will find that this circular was
written by Democrats, printed by Demo-
Gratis and circulated by Democrats to de-
lude the young Irishmen who may be
minded to think for themselves on political
topics Don't be cheated by SO paltry a
trick.

he placed his hand on his heart and said :

CENSUS returns have now been received
and published in the South Carolina leading
Democratic organ from all but two counties
in that State. These additional returns in
crease the alleged gain in population in that
State to over 43 per cent. The Charleston
Mercury declares that these figures can be
relied upon, and that they show only slight
advance over the State census of 1875, which
census was so notoriously fraudulent that
the State government repudiated it, the leg
islature refused to publish it and the school
commission refused to base its apportion-
ment upon it, During the same period in
which it is claimed that the State popula-
ton has increased 43 per cent, the internal
revenue bureau reports falling off in rev.
enues of so per cent, thus proving loss in
business prosperity; whereas the revenues of
Wisconsin in the same period increased 81
per cent, in Michigan "A per cent, and in
other northern States in fair ratio with the
increase of population. The State statistics
, of assessed valuation, tax collections, etc.,
also show no increase of business or wealth
in South Carolina, such as must necessarily
accompany large increase of population.

The Nihilists resort to sly manGuvres -
order to put their prosecutors off the sCent

running on q FOOLS errand. It is known that
numerous arrests have been made 10 cO1D0-
quence OF last years events, and Of those ~
rested almost two thirds were seized on the
grounds Of anonymous denunciations, and
were afterward set free: but many had, q
course, to pass a long time In prison before
their liberty was restored to them. Then the.
NihlIists carried on plot. They used To-
write to the Third Section to the effect thak
Sin the house OF such number, In such =
street, on such floor, ETC., there was secret
press, and it was being worked from IA g
night till In the morning" The following
night the police would appear, only to find no
press or anything OF the kind, but only eIeep-
Ing inmates, who showed themselves pee-
Yectly ready and willing to assist the people
In their search. A fortnight would elapee.
and the Third Section would again recefv0
an anonymous communication OF similar
contents to the former, and the same comedy
would be again gone through. The police
we're naturally annoyed by these anonymous
letters, and began to disregard them; and. N
fact, such communications ceased to reaeh
them. The secret printing offices were then
set up IN the very quarters which had tn09
been visited TO no purpose.

peas, to button their shirt-collars, and rows
Of smaller ones fastening their embroidered
linen breast-frOnts. In the buckles OF their
inexpressibles and the rosettes OF their shoes
there are stones OF the finest water. Spanish
ladies OF rank are not ashamed to write love-
letters to espadas. and the ext Queen, though
on her good behavior, cast knowing glaces at
