KNIGHTsTowN, Oct. 27.-One of the best
meetings of the campaign was held at Maple
Valley last night. Hon. Thomas E. Boyd was
the speaker and for an hour and half he had
the undivided attention of house full of men
and women while he discussed in mastery
manner the issues of the hour. His expose of
the rottenness of the present State administra-
ton was something to make the cheek of any
honest-minded Democrat burn with shame and
indignation.
His utterances on the temperance question
were honest, straightforward and manly,
showing the utter fallacy of gaining anything in
that direction through the agency of a third
party. Mr.. Boyd made avery good impression
were greeted showed that his audience were in
entire sympathy with him.

Whittier, on the statute of Liberty:
TIE land that from the rule of kings,
In freeing US. itself made free,
Our old world sister, to us brings
Her sculptured dream of beauty.
Unlike the shapes on Egypts sands
Uplfted by the toilworn slave,
On Freedoms soil with freemens hands,
We rear the symbol free hands gave.
o France, the beautiful: to thee
Once more debt of love owe;
In peace beneath thy feur de lis.
We hail a later Rochambeau
Rise, stately symbol; holding forth
Thy light and hope to all who sit
In chains of darkness; belt the earth
With watch-hres from thy torch uplit.
Reveal the primal mandate still
Which chaos heard and ceased to bel
Trace on midair the eternal will
In signs of fire, Let man be Free!
Shine far, shine free, guiding light
To Reasons ways and Virtues aim,
A lightning flash the wretch to smite
Who shields his license with thy name.

the "President' Of that deiunct concern, has
been staying at Richmond. As she was
born there duling the war, the people take
not unnatar;,iintcrcat in herus daugh er OF
the Slate. Bat this has been advanced from
social to Il political significance; and it
was arranged that she and Mrs. Cleveland
sho1!d unite IL the reception to the public
offer the Inauguration ceremonies Of the

part Of the programme before he started
and decided TO 60 without his wife. He
knows more Of the popular feeling through
out the cGuutIy towards Mr. Jefferson
Davis than Go Gov. Lee and his friends,
and he knew that it would be
political suicide f1r him to permit Mrs.

such an occasion. OF course the chivalry
are indignant etthis "siight" upon the Young
lady, fer which they have themselves to
thank, rs they had not the slightest right to

to pretend that the selection Of Miss Davis
had no political significance, but was due to
her beauty and social attractiveness. Young
ladies are not associated with the first lady
Of tho republic on public occasion because Of
such qualities. II was as the daughter Of Mr.
Jefferson Davis the thaukless and unrepent-
