THE VICTIM OF AN EXAMPLE.
To the argument that Mr.. Grape was
an able and upright public man, and
that it was unjust to punish him for
an honest vote, however mistaken, the
reply was conclusive that the party
had no other way of showing upright
public men that they must not sup
port public extravaganza than by re
fusing to reward such support by pro-
notion Harper's Weekly.

GLOUCESTER, MASS.
Dear Mr.. Stone 1t would surprise
even your constant readers to see II
list of all the glorious regions which
have been described in the CdledOnidn,
but something would be wanting with
out a word from this choicest spot in
all the coast. A few may not think 1t
quite the best we are glad they don't,
or common folks could not have II
cosy cottage of their own. We are
almost at the tip end of the nose of
Cape Ann. Thatcher's twin lights are
in front, like the glittering eyes of II
converted dragon, set to save instead
of destroy. This is a bold reach of
land rising to a good height in the
center, humanized by some twenty
five summer cottages and two hotels,
with plenty of room to spare. The
sea breaks almost in our front yard.
Unfortunates who watched through
IA stOrmless August should have been
here when the cyclone of Sept. II
struck the coast. A front of granite
crags set its face against the storm.
For several rods out, the water was
seething foam beyond that were the
breakers, swelling huger and higher
till they toppled over with their own
mass, or charged against the bold rocks
and flung up cataracts of spray. Be
hind, only the ocean and the storm
As the waves came Keeling and roaring
in, it seemed as if they would devoul
the solid land. Huge masses of rock
shivered at the shock. The cottages
seemed to crouch down and clutch the
foundations more tightly with thei1
iron claws. AS night shut down, {
weird phOsphOrescence glared in the
foam. The next day the tumult con
tinued and the sun came out in a daz
cling sky. Such blue water, such cata
racts, cascade sheets, torrents of whit
spray, can be seen only in the "clea
shining after rain" And now we hav,

and the full moon is shining marvel
ously on the wild splendor. We watcl
it from the windows, and shall stel

air blows the cobwebs out of the brail
and the booming lullaby will help t

Riot at Lancaster, :. G.

A political riot took place at Lancas-
ter, S. c., on Thursday, on the occasion
of public meeting, which was to be
addressed by Col. Cash, who had to
lock himself up to escape the fury of
the whites. There were seven killed
and twenty-One wounded. A mounted
force rode into the town and fired over
the heads of the rioting whites into
the negroes who were engaged with
them, killing and wOunding several.
All the stores in the town were closed
and every man was out armed to the
teeth. A large quantity of fire arms
was also sold that day. 1t is said in
justification of the massacre, that the
negroes had threatened to burn the
town and murder the white people,
and that the strongest evidences of
this purpose were found in not only
their actions but the material and doc
uments in their possession.

Your petitioners, citizens of the state

temperance wastes the material re-
sources of the state, ruins its homes
and debases its citizens and whereas,
the traffic of alcoholic liquors as bev

through insufficient enforcement of
statute, the traffic is clandestinely car

Therefore, we respectfully pray your
honorable body to propose, according
to article p of the constitution, an
amendment which shall forever pro-
hibit the manufacture and sale of all
alcoholic beverages in this state.

Some papers, i'll their condemnation
of the highly improper methods en-
ploycd by the administration and its
workers to effect the nomination of
Secretary Folgcr, do this gentleman
great injustice in making him respon-
siblc for the means employed. This is
not warranted by Folger's political
history, and we fear that if every can
didate for IA nomination or an office
were held responsible for the means
employed to effect such nomination
and election, they would be compelled
to bear some very heavy burdens. 1t
would, however, have been highly
creditable to Mr.. Folger if he had de
clined the nomination.
