Parties in the South.

| 1t isl grave question whether or not il
would not he best for the South TO have n
| divisions of parties. Considered merely as
an abstract problem, perhaps. most Of ns
would admit that opposition would be no
/ disady vantage to the Democracy of the
South. Any party = liable 10 become cor.
rnpt where opposition To- it ceases, aud it
funds itself the undi-puted master Of the
situation and has no fears ofbclng displaced
by the opposing party. Rnt while this
holds good in theory, II isdiiirrcnt when
practically applied to the present situation
IN the South. When We remember III"
wr,tchcd State Government which the
Radical party forced upon the Sonth for
yeats after the close of the val, and of the
impoverished, depressed and almost mined
condition q: our people, when they passed
out from under this yoke Of bondage, ~"
are al a loss to conceive how any southern
man, who is prompted hy patriotic motives
can advocate iur mumvut the return TO
power of the Radical party IN any Sonth-
rrn State. We can not 80 soon forget and
bury the bitter and awful experience Of
the past. our people have remembrance
Of the reign of Rldicali-m in the South

We often hear OF the inefaciency
OF the postoffice delivery, bul here
Ia case in its favor, one whera it
has haen inAtrrnnantal in restnv-
ing an article of value to its rigAl-
full owner. 1t appears, as the
story has been told, that eleven
years ago a little girl living In the
city OF Dorchester was preseated
on her sixth birthday, by favor
lite uncle, with very valuable
garnet and pearl ring. The little
miss wore 1t u few times. Extra
ordinary care was supposed to
have been taken with 1t, but sud-
denly the ring was missing, and
thorough search could not discov-
er II. The other day the door, bell
of the house from which the ring
was lost was rung. and by chance
the former little girl that lost 1t
went 10 answer the bell, and found
the postman of the district with a
greasy envelope In his hand, adj
dressed to her mother, Mrs. H
Dorchester, the address scarcely
legible and the envelope bearing
no stamp. 1t might easily have
gone to the dead letter office, but
the postman knew he had q lady
living on his route by the name
las near as he could make Ii QUIT
on the envelope, and thought he
would try If the letter belonged to
her. When the young lady took
the envelope from the postinaa he
stated the foregoing circumstances
and also epjoined that the seal
must be broken In his presence, as
there appeared to be something
besides writing inclosed. In COM
plying with the request, much TO
the establishment of the postman,
the young lady suddenly ejaculat-
ed loud enough to be heard in all
parts CT the house: ooh, mamma,
here is my ring. 1t proved to be
so. The ring lost seven years be-
fore had been returned In this
way, and there was nothing 10
show where it had come from, and
there are no ground for suspicion.
Beyond dirty piece of cotton
batting there was nothing but the
ring in the envelope. That wa,
as fresh and bright as when lost.
Somebody's conscience Is clearer
now, as the ring was probably
stolen

Several newspapers are i'm the
habit, while relating the circum-
stances in which a defaulter com-
mitted suicide, OF referring to the
matter under some sentimental
heading, such as death before
dishonor." To do this is to put
the car before the horse. The true
way of announcing ii would be
death After Dishonor.n The
dishonor consists In having done
the deed, though the shame and
eontritiOn are generally felt only
after the guilt is detected. Thus
the Postmaster, of South Amboy
shot himself yesterday because
something wrong was found in
his accounts and he could not face
exposure. conviction and punish
ment he would then have to en-
dure. We dwell upon the matter
because the tendency is so great to
write as though that only Is dis
honor which the world stamps as
such by its disapproval. True, 1t
has often happened in the history
OF the world that acts regarded as
criminal in one civilized society
are not thou yht 80 In another soci-
ETY. equally civilized. There Is
conduct In accordance with tho
spirit of one age which ceases to
be accordant with that Of another
age. Hence he who has become
familiar with the varying codes OF
many nations, who has been a
deep student OF history. psychoIo-
gy and law, will look very lenient-
ly upon barbarism, which Is Sc
verely reprobated, less. univer-
sal judgement. Nevertheless, there
are some acts which are universal
ly condemned throughout all civil
lized time and by civilized nations.
Such re- theft, BURGLARY, murder,
arson. The singular characteristic
Is that man can be guilty OF the
least heInous of these without con-
domination OF his own conciencs.
He has dishonored himself long
before discovery. This cannot add
to his dishonor, though 1t may
create the shame to which he has
been stranger.

What curious life must the
man Murphy, who tried to kill
his divorced wife at Pittsburg, Pa
and then himself, have led. He
was rich, well-connected and de-
scrlne0 as remarkably Driniant.
Fifteen years ago he married
beautiful and accomplished girl,
the daughter of a well-known
Judge. six years after she obtain
ed a divorce from him on account
OF his drinking too much. She
married a Mr.. Campbell, who
about year ago died, leaving her
large fortune. Murphy. who
had all this while continued to be
sincerely and deeply in love with
his wife, now began to hope that
he might again win her. But his
hopes were dashed to the ground
by her marrying, a few weeks
ago. Mr.. McClaren. Murphy
went TO call upon this thrice we'd
ded woman, and to wish her joy
to her new union. She received
him alone, and he conversed with
her some time pleasantly and with
apparent gayety. Then rising, as
Ii 10 take his leave, he approach
ed her. saying; II hope you may
be happy" then threw his arms
around her, shot her through the
back and then blew out his desper-
ate brains; and yet for years this
wretched man, whose every wax
ing movement must have been q
torment, passed among his friends
as gay light.hearted fellow.

1t seems that the attempt to
naturalize camsls In Texas and
New Mexico was not, after all, an
utter failure. The camels used
for carrying freight across the Cal.

reason, prove profitable, and they
were turned loose on the ella aud
Salt river bottoms. There they
lived and bred, until now, It is
