SUNBEAMS.
BY EDMUND LYONS.

All, what would the earth he without them?
The sunbeans that sparkle and play,
Gliding castles with splendOr about them,
Aud cots hidden humbly away
They shine in the fair summer weather,
On meadow, and howell, and hall,
And the poor and the wealthy together
May enjoy the sweet sunbeams-for ALL
When clouds DER the cabin are rolling, =
And the light hardly penetrates through,
The king In his palace, controlling
His vassals, must feel the gloom too.
And, 1t may be, the home OF the peasant
Is brighter than that of the king; f,F q
II he lives in content with the present, III z
Nor fears what the future may bring. 3
Through the sunbeams message is blending,
AS they fall on the age-whitened head.
They tell Of glory impending,
Far brighter than any they shed. q.
They sparkle on youth and on maiden, 49,
They smile upon husband and wife.
And they greet the young mother, hope laden,
With the sunshine and beauty OF life.
But il ever In shadows, uncertain,
The lines Of your life should cast,
Fear not, but remember the curtain
Will surely be lifted at last.
III you cherish the love light that scatters
Doubt, darkness, and gloom from the door.
Clouds may lower, but little 1t matters,
The sunbeams will shine out once more.

The Lancaster Riot.

In another column We publish from
the New York Herald, journal which
has never done US more than scant jus
tiee, full account of the recent politi
cal riot at Lancaster. South Carolina
from which it will be seen that the
whites acted upon the defensive and did
no violence until forbearance had ceased
to be virtue and action had become q
necessity. It grew out of the intoler.
ance of the coIored leaders. Mr.. Car
ter, the Democrat, iu the midst of a
most dispassionate address, delivered by
permission and general consent, indeed,
under the assurance of protection, was
driven from the stand, insulted and
beaten. In the meantime turbulent
negro, for disorderly conduct had been
arrested in the village, some half mile
distant, and incarcerated in jail. Upon
learning this fact the negroes present at
the speaking fell into line and against
the law and to the disturbance of the
peace, headed by disorderly and dis
fellow, marched into the town,
with the avowed purpose of liberating
him. Even at this stage conflict
would have been avoided but for the
of this leader to shoot a peace
full and unarmed white man standing
upon the sidewalk. At this juncture it
is no surprise that the whites took up
arms and with such strength as they
did battle.
With partisan spirit as disgraceful
to them as it is unjust to US, the Re
publican Press has persistently charged
these outbreaks at the doors of the white
people, and this melancholy affair, with
out evidence and without investigation,
las been attributed to them.
We regret the occasion more than
words can tell, but it having arisen we
ire gratified to be thus able to refute
hem out of their own mouths.

A Political Curiosity.

Buffalo Courier.l
The Republican Congressional Com
mittee, of which the notorious Jay A.
Hubbell is the Chairman, has just
issued a Republican campaign text
book" which in some respects is a
unique document. The manner in
which Mr.. George William Curtis is
attacked is ILLUSTRATED by the following
extracts:
The Congressional Committee publishes
in this book the correspondence between
Mr.. Curtis and Mr.. Hubbell, and calls him
bulldozer, willful libeller and a hypo-
critic ''He proves himself" says the COM
mittee, "the Joseph Surface of civil service
REFORM" The counsel for the Civil Service
Reform Association are characterized as
pettifoggers. With a meanness character
istic of the so-called reforms" says the COM
mittee in this book, "they made an offer
which no honorable man could act upon"
The attack upon those whom the committee
calls "ciyil service reform noodles" increases
in virulence in the last chapter. Mr.. Curtis
and his companions are denounced as hypo-
CFlteS anu lIduuS anu do hOIAluS W ofC4-
throw or suppress, either by violence or
fraud, all lawful majorities The committee
has no mercy upon "this combination of un-
principled noodles yclept reformers." Mr..
Curtis is denounced as a hater of majority
rule, as the supporter of the Southern coli
garch," in favor of the rule which, in every
nation, in all ages past, has been marked by
uniform results, the betrayal of liberty,
the degradation of humanity in the estab-
Ishment, through every vile crime, of
slavish tyranny, corrupt and bloody. Hav-
ing placed himself and 'his shabby array of
reform pretenders upon their natural plat
form," the committee thinks he should be
INDUCED in his role, and compares him
with Bois Gulbert and Front Du Beuf. In
his opinion, it says all officers and their
families must expatiate their outrecaidance
in dishonor and misery in the penltentiary
and almshouse. The committee brings its
twenty-five pages to an end with the cry:
q Viye Curtis and Wade Hampton! ViYe
Curtis ard JEFF Dayis!' !''
If any further evidence were needed
that the elements now controlling the.
Republican organization are hostile to
reform and honest, government this Re
publican campaign text book for 1882
would prove the fact.
