A Discredit to the Party.


That the Democrats have been guilty of
voluminous absurdlty highly discredtable
to the party, it would be the height of folly
to deny. For instance, the ousting of the
doorkeeper and the installation of second
doorkeeper, and then the ousting of the Sec
ond and reinstalation of the first, was GER
tainly unidentified, to say the least. Such
action was eminently unworthy the Senate
OF the fifth State in the Union.

The Romance of Mr.. stephens's Life.
A

Atlanta constitution
In one of the early years of the '40s, Mr.
Stephens, then young man, paid visit to
the house of Mr.. Darden, in Warren county.
There he met faxen-haired, blue-eyed girl
of sixteen, beautiful in face and lovely in
character; piquant, witty and gifted with a
mind rarely cultivated. An attachment
grew up which for years did not pass the
formal bounds of friendship but which was
sacredly cherished by both. The boy lover
was poor in this worlds goods; fragile in
frame, and haraSsed by sickness, he did not
dare to aspire to the hand of one whom he
had learned to love and yet forebore to
claim With womanly devotion the young
girl read the secret in the young mans eyes,
and true to her heart she could only-wait
and love.
One evening in 1S49 party was given at
the residence of Mr.. Little in Crawfordville
There the two met once more; there they en-
joyed that sweet communion born of perfect
trust; and there Mr.. Stephens found courage
to speak the words which for years had
fought for expression. until at last he could
no longer contain them.
Are you sure that there lives none other
whom you prefer to me?" asked the maiden,
timidly, half-shrinkingly yet only too happy
to feel that she was favored in his eyes.
I'm the whole universe there exists not
another" said he, passionatey.
Thus their troth was plighted; the day was
set for their marriage; and all seemed aus
picious for the lovers. But clouds lowered
DER their hopes; matters of private nature
which it is not within the domain of the
public to know, Intervened and deferred the
fruiton of their hopes. The one became
immersed in politics, and racked with
physical ills besitated to enter state
where he feared the happiness of the other
might be marred The lady found her duty
by the side of an invalid mother, who long
fingered with combining disease Thus the
years flew by; but the plighted troth was
kept Mr.. Stephens never addressed anoth-
er, and ever kept the image OF the fair young
girl in his heart The lady was the recipi-
ent of admiration from many, but to all she
turned a deaf ear.
They have often met since, and, while the
idea OF marriage was abandoned, they felt
a sweet pleasure in each others society But
two weeks ago the lady was at the mansion,
and on taking leave of her old friend one of
the chairs tipped up an unfayorable sign,
as the Governor remarked at the time. The
lady has for years been a citizen OF Atlanta,
and no one is held in more esteem for every
quality which adorns womanhood than Miss
Caroline Wilkinson.

oughly enraged physician.
Ask your patients" slowly repeated Ben
nett, and then celebrating; TASK your pa
tients? Why, they are all dead" Then he
rapidly enumerated case after case, most of
them among the negro servants and in the
neighborhood, of such of the doctors pa
tents who had succumbed TO his pills and
powders, and continued: ASK your pa
tients Why, I should have to hunt them in
the lonely grave-yards and rap on the silent
tomb to get answers from the dead. You
know they can't say nothing to this case, for
you've killed 'em all"
Loud was the applause, and Farmer Ben
nett won his case.
AS AN ORATOR.
Before the war Stephens ranked as one of
the most powerful orators in Congress His
hair fell in long black masses over his fine
forehead, his cravat was tied in a sailors
knot, and an immense gold chain ending in
heavy seal, gave him an outre appearance
His arms and legs were long, complexion sal
low, while his voice was high-pitched inclin-
ing to the falsetto. yet he always command
ed the closest attention, His points were
made rapidly and apparently without effort
The midnight oil never flashed forth its
sickly glare in his eloquent passages He
gradually unfolded his subject, like the
leaves of a book, His memory was remark
able and served him to good purpose, while
his powers of sarcasm and invective were
second to none. He was feared as an antag-
onist, and sough for as an ally IN debate. He
has been compared to Randolph, of Roam
oke Both were sensitive, morbidlY sensi-
tive plants Both were fearless in debate
and action. Randolph fought duels; Stephens
challenged Herschel V. Johnson and General
B. H. Hill; yet both refused to fight him.
Both were powerful in Congress; both dis
eased yet Randolph was cynical and misan-
thropic, all gall and NORWOOD embttered,
perhaps, by suffering and disease; yet
Stephens conquered his pains, and was as
modest as schoolgirl, and as amiable and
genial as it was possible. Both were fond OF
their homes and birthplace, and both were
ardent devotees to the doctrine of State
rights.

STORMS AND WRECKS.

The Steamer City of Atlanta lowed Into
Wilmington in a Disabled Condition.
WILMINGTON, N. c., Sept. 14-The steamer
City of Atlanta, from Charleston, s. c., for
New York, with thirty-t three passengers, was
towed into Smithville yesterday evening by
the revenue cutter Colfax, which encoun-
tered the City of Atlanta while seeking for
the missing Frying-pan shoals light-ship
The City of Atlanta was in tow of the
steamer British Empire from Vera Cruz and
Havana for New York. The latter fell in
with the City of Atlanta 100 miles southeast
OF Wilmington, leaking and needing assist
ance, which was rendered and the disabled
steamer taken in tow. The City of Atlanta
left Charles ton on Saturday, and on Sunday
encountered heavy gale from the north
east which increased to hurricane on Mon
day evening and night. The steamer leaked
in the after ports, which put over seven feet
of water in the ship and drown ed the fires.
She drifted from P. NJ. on Monday until
10 A. NJ. on Tuesday, when she was taken in
tow by the British Empire and towed off
Frying-pan shoals, and thence to Smithville
by the revenue cutter Colfax. The City of
Atlanta has been pumped out, and will pro-
coed to her destination as soon as the neces-
sary repairs are made. Most of her passen-
gers, among whom are several ladies and

BEATING THE BALTIMoREs.
The Home Club Scores a Decided Victory
Over the League Nine-An Inter-
esting Contest.

One OF the most interesting and most bril-
liantly played games of ball of the season was
played between the Indianapolis and Balti-
more clubs. on the Seventh-street grounds,
yesterday afternoon, in the presence of only
fair crowd. Henderson and Broughton, for the
visitors, and McKeon and Keenan,, were the bat
teries, aud the pitching of the latter, except in
the eighth inning, might justly be termed phe-
nominal Until that inning but one hit had been
secured by the visitors, and twelve men struck
out during the course of the game. In the
fourth and seventh innings the three Datsmen
failed to hit the ball and were called out
on strikes Five men struck out in
succession in the fourth and fifth innings The
field play of both sides was nearly perfect the
errors being excusabe in almost every instance.
third, was struck on the head by a baJted ball
and was wrongfully permitted TO score, the UNI
pire, Phil. Corridan, evidently knowing nothing
about the rules although himself professional
ball player, After this he was dismissed and
AL. johnson called to the position. In the eighth
inning, after two men were out, McKeon sent
Broughton to his base on balls, and after that
five successive batsmen made hits, one of them,
by Manning for home run, over the fence,
earning four runs and tieing the score. In the
next inning two runs were earned by the home
club on hit by Kerins, three-bagger by Peo-
Piles and a fly back of third base by Downing

whose editor has personal grievance against
Mr.. Campbell, that he and Mclean, of the
Enquirer, work together in political matters;
but those who know the two men only laugh
at the idea. Mclean and Campbell are both
of Scotch origin, and have all the stubborn
ness of that race. Mclean will not play
second fiddle to any one, and Campbell has
the same qualities. In this campaign their
interests are certainly adverse. Campbell is
young rich and very ambitious. and knows
that his future is in the Republican party,
and he can see what is clear to every one
else-that nothing but the most infamous
and stupendous frauds can defeat the ticket
in this State and county this year.
