TIE LAST CHANCE.

The second session Of the Forty seventh
Congress assembled in Washington on last
Monday. Tie Democrats have majority
in both branches Of the present Congress
but after the fourth Of March next the re.
publicans will have plurality In the lower
Ho,,sc, the Independents and Grecnbackers
holding the balance OF power. with the
probability that OH all political questions
they will affiliate with the Republicans. IL
the Senate should be Republican, that party
will have control of The Federal government
for the next two years. 1t is not probable
TINT any measures OF partisan character
wil be brought before the present Congress-
and it is moro than likely that the present
session will be emincntly practical and de-
voted to the consideration of measures pro-
motive Of the general interests Of the whole
country. The tariff and revenue laws need
revision, and now when the country and
Congress rest from nll political excitement
is the time for statesmen of both parties to
give to the country just and equal tariff,
one which shall protect the industries Of
the country alike without unjust discrimi-
nation in favor Of any industry q against
any class OF consumers, and one which at
the same time shall raise the largest amount
Of revenue, and thereby enable Congress to
reform and reduce the Internal Revenue
taxation. If the Democratic party in this
tho last session OF its supremacy in both
branches Of Congress shall secure to the
country sound currency, ignoring repudi-
alton and Grccnbackisn, adopt q tariff for
revenue, and at the same time have regard
to just protection of the industrial inter
rs of the country, and so reform The Inter
nal Revenue taxes that they shall not opcr-
ale unjustly against the industries Of limited
portions of the country, it will receive the
commentator OF all sections and parties.

We arc satisfied that every reader Of tho
INTELLIdENCER will be gratiHed to learn
OF tho great increase IN the shipping
business Of our "City by tho Sea-" which
Ia shown by the following comparativ Q
statement, taken from tho Ncrs G.d Cou-
rier: "The total value of the exports from
this port for tho first three months of tho
business yenr commencing September !,
1880, is Sz,709, ,635 against 81, 720,3l3 for tho
same period last year, al increase OF
81 ,0S3, ,S22 in thIce months. The value OF
the imports for tho same period We're
Sl4,l7 26 for 1880 and Sll,7s7 81 for 1870,
an increase of S2,3S3.l3. During tho three
months just closed there were % foreign
steamships entered at the custom house
with an aggregate tonnage of 81, l27 tons,
against IL vessels with an aggregate tom
mage Of 2O,7Gl tons during the samo
period last year." Every South Caro-
linian should feel deep interest in
Charleston, and rejoice at her increasing
prosperity. When she gets that long
coveted direct connection with the great
Northwest by the completion of the Blue
Ridge Railrood, she will become without
doubt the Queen City OF tho South.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Hayes on last Monday COM
municatcd to both Houses Of Congress
his last annual message. 1t Is quite
lengthy, and If 1t were not for the rocom-
Inendation of u new crusade against the
South which It contains, would strike the
public as containing suggestions cmi-
nentiy wise and national The President
assumes that "continued opposition to
the full and free enjoyment OF tho rights
of citizenship, conferred upon the colorcd
people by tho recent amendments to tho
Constitution, still prevails In several OF
the lato slaveholding States" and asks
Congress 70 pass firm aid vel, considered
measures to enforce the Fifteonth Amend
ment. which means that the Federal
Government shall control all Federal
elections in tho Southern Stntes. The
President further recommends tho House
of Representative and the Senate to sec
to it that overy case Of the violation OF
tho letter or spirit of the Fifteenth Amend
mcnt is thoroughly investigated, and
that 10 benefit from such violation shnll
accrue to my porson or party, which
means that the next Congress shall OK
cludo such members of Congress and
Senators az the Republicans may deem
expedient. Tho President further asks
Congress for sufficient appropriations to
prosecute unsparingly all who have been
engaged In dcpriving citizens of the
rights guaranteed to them by the Consti-
tuition. Whatever may be tho merits OF
tho remainder Of the Message, this por-
ton Of it Is dark spot which mars the
whole, and Identifies tho President with
tho stalwarth elemcut of his party, and
that instead of seeking at tho close of his
administration to heal NIL sectional feel
ings, 1t is his desire 10 kindle afresh the
fires Of sectional hate aud animosity.

"We'll carry them to the train and
have burial in tho morning." said one
of the men; and the bodies were taken
up behind two of the borsemen. They
did have funeral, and the men looked
into the graves with tears in their eyes,
for they had discovered that Joseph's
brother was wOman-yes, a woman
with tho whitest throat and softest
hands. It might have been Josephs
wife or sister or a sweetheart. No ono
could toll that, but they could tell how
they had wronged her :; and they said,
as they stood around the grave, "We
hope the Lord won't lay it up against
