not the time, South Carolina is not tho field,
and Colonel Aiken Is not the man, 70 reform
| the Democratic party or organize a new do
have many faults, but their speakers posscss
the happy faculty, which Colonel Aiken would
do well to learn, OF keeping their mouths shut
when they have nothing to say.
True to the instincts of the slave
master and driver, this Charleston or
gan threatens that Aiken shall not be
allowed to make such speeches hereaft-
er on the soil of South Carolina. It is
asserted that for the last four years
"Aiken has made his living in Con-
gress by the Democratic party" but
the paper warns everybody that it will
be an unfortunate thing for the party
and State "if he is allowed to make any
more Townville speeches at Democratic
meetings." He is told in explicit terms
that he must refrain from denouncing
Northern Democrats and compliment
ing the Republicans or he shall not be al
lowed to speak at all. 1t seems that in
South Carolina truth is no justification,
therefore truth cannot be tolerated, and
it follows that If Aiken is not willing to
lie against the Republicans, and is not
willing to lie in favor of the Democrats,
he shall "not be allowed" to speak at
any Democratic meetings. The NelOs
winds up its lecture in the following
warning that he will be left TO starve
unless he reform his speech;
II, however, he cannot get rid Of his hobby,
and feels compelled to speak, he should, at
hdst, not be dtlOlUGd to talk In a fretful and
complaining strain at Democratic meetings
II Colonel Aiken has found out that he cannot
work in perfect harmony with the Democratic
party he should withdraw from the race as
Democratic candidate for Congress, and give
the people Of the Third District q chance TO
select Democrat iChO tCM not quarrel URh he
bread and butter.
We do not know what kind of man
Aiken may be; if he be a man worthy
of the place he holds he will not aban-
don the truth even in the face of the
threat of starvation; but he is a Demo-
crat, no better and no worse perhaps
than Hampton and BeltzhoOver, and as
they have not hesitated to resort to
shameless falsehoods to escape the
credit of having told the truth it is not
improbable that Aiken in due time will
publish letter denying that he ever
told the truth, attributed to him, of the
Northern Democrats and Republicans.

The DemocratIo Record.

When the war was IN progress for the
suppression of tho Rebellion, inaugur-
ated and pursued by Southern Demo.
Gratis, the Democratic party at the
North held a National Convention at
Chicago, in the summer of 1864. That
convention declared the war, on the
part Of the Government, TO be "a fail
ure to restore the Union" and de-
manded "that immediate efforts be
made for cessation Of hOstillties, with
II view to an ultimate convention of tho
States, or other peaceable means, TO
the end that at the earliest practicable
moment peace may be restored on the
basis of the Federal Union of the
States" At this time the resources of
the rebels were nearly exhausted, aud
the Government was moving upon
them with force that carried with Il Il
rational certainty Of speedy success. 1t
was then that the Democratic party de-
clared the war "a failure" and de-
manded that the Government of the
United States should seek TO negotiate
with rebels in arms against It's authorl-
ty, These rebels were TO be invited to
Join In q convention with the loyal

by to be sought. IL Is no wonder that
the people, including the army, secuted
and scorned the pusillanimous PROPOSE
ton, and swept the field with an over
whelming political defeat of General
Mcclellan, who ran as the Democratic
candidate for President. The offense
committed by the Democratic party, in
the circumstances as then existing,
ought to be regarded as politically an
objectionable Sin.
This same party, In It's National Con-
vention of 1868, demanded the taxation
Of Government bonds, In direct contra
vention Of the Nations contract with
Its creditors. IL declared the Recon-
struction acts Of Congress to be "usur-
pations and unconstitutional, reyolu-
tiOnary and void" II further declared
that "where the obligations OF the
Government do not expressly state upon
their face, or the law under which they
were Issued does not provide that they
shall be paid in coin, they ought in
right and in justice to be paid In the
lawful money Of the United States,
meaning thereby Greenbacks, which
were themselves only one form of these
obligations. Horatio Seymour, as the

The Awful Dress Coat

The conventional dress coat has been
called the swallow-tail," tho 4" steel
pen," the " claw hammer" the Z" two
tined" and other picturesqueand some
what opprobrious names. Il has been
a fashionable but never a much loved
garment and there is certain popu-
larity about the man who, despite the
demands of society, boasts that he
never owned one. The great majority
of men who possess dress coat, not
being very wealthy and not being able
to purchase one every year, are un-
happy. II cannot be laid aside like a
wedding dress and looked at in solitary
moments on rainy days, because If it is
packed away it comes from the press
with an unused appearance, indicating
that the wearer has not been invited
out much. Many men, especially if they
have a dress coat grow stouter or thin
ner every year, so that the dress coat,
being very sensitive thing, not amena-
BILE to tucks or wise repairs, resents the
insult by making the wearer appear
ridiculous; and perhaps a man is never
so absurd as when he gaspingly and
sheepishly says to = crowd of thinner
persons, docs anybody want to buy a
dress coat P"- EIchdHge.

BaS- The Washington Post has an i'm
teresting story about the first meeting
between Secretary Sherman and Gem
eral Garfield after the latter's nOmina-
ton at Chicago. "It has leaked out,
saws the Post, "that when Garfield WIS.,
tied Washington, after his nomination
was secured he sought Mr.. Sherman
at the Treasury, with a view TO ex-
planning the unexpected turn that mat
tors had taken. The two mon met In
Mr.. Sherman's private office, but an
explanation was never made. The
injured party rose in indignation at
sight Of this modern Judas, and gave
vent to his wrath with such vehemence
that the Radical nominee for the Preti
dency fled from the presence OF the
man he had wronged with the perspiru-
ton oOzing from every pOrc. These
men have never met since, and, though
apparently urging his election, Mr.
sherman Canvassed the State OF Ohio
without once seeking the presence OF
Garfield, whose election no was sup
posed TO be advocating" Secretary
Sherman spoils this story by asserting
there is not shred or vestige of truth
in IT, No such meeting in his private
Office ever took place, He met Gem
erl Garfield several times in Ohio,
dined with him once, and spoke OF him
on all proper occasions in the highest
terms of praise.

A Pretty Story.

In Naples the papers tell very pretty
story of the Queen of Italy. II appears
that as she was driving to the royal wood
OF Lincalo the coachman mistook the
road, and one of the gentlemen asked
countryman the way. The man, seeing
the fine car iage and horses, and the
servants livery, and all gay company,
thought he was being fooled. Gas if
you did not knowl" he said, with big
grin. The Queen laughed, and assured
him that they were lost. Then only did
the countryman condescend to point out
the way, after which he walked off as il
fearing to be laughed at again
"Give him twenty francs for his
trouble said the Queen to one of her
escort, who going after the cOuntrynIan
said to him: "Here, my man, is little
present from the Queen of Italy, who
thanks you"
"The Queen!n cried the countryman,
returning to the carriage. "Forgive me
that did not know thee. But had
never seen thee before. Thou art as
beautiful as a May rose. God bless
thee" And the carriage drove off.
Now the countryman, who had once
seen the Queen, wanted to see her pre- ty
face again, and the following day he
presented himself at the palace.
al know her, you know" he added
mystenously. 81 spoke to her yester-
day, and want to speak to her again. ="
Thinking he had to do with mad
man, the porter was about to have the
poor fellow arrested, when the very
gentleman who had given him the
twenty francs appeared and, recogniz.
ing the man, told him to wait. He in
formed the Queen of his presence,
"Bring him here, by all means," was
her answer.
When the man was, for the second
time, before the Queen, he said; eyes,
tits thou. thought had seen a fairy.
Thou art just an angel. did not tell
thee yesterday that l have two little
ones without a mother. Wilt thou be
their motherP"
"That viii, " said the Queen.
"Then there's the twenty francs thou
gavest me yesterday. thank thee but
l want no money" And he went away
crying and smiling like a child.
The Queen has adopted the two little
ones and they are in an institution, un-
der her special patronage.
