clared that they would not enter the militia with the colored people. The colored peo-

 pie formed their companies all over the State. b Finally, the whites claim that they. sought to form companies of their own, but that the administration, threw impedi-

 ments in ths way. We know little as to thisa We do kn6Ws however, atIaba at the

 last we had a large number of scolored

 militia companies, armed with excellent weapons by the State Government, and only one or two white companies. The whites of this State, of course, as a general thing, are armed, but they regarded the colored militia companies as Q Standing menace, and the authorities are wisely causing disarmament. as .ae , These. then, are some of the evils with which We have to deal. To speak quite plainly they show our State in a condition which gives not an overstrong warrant for the glowing periods of some of opr orators

 And we wish particular note to be made of this: Taken altogether, these evils are not an excuse for the Ku. Klux Klan, but

 the conditions which render it possible for the existence of any organization like

 theirs, and which render possible the per- petration of such damning deeds as theirs in community claiming to be civilized

 To thoroughly redeem ~this State from the blasting influences of the Ku Klux Kan, we must set to work to purge our

 selves of the evils which permit the exist

 ence of the order. This must be done in this way: The Federal troops will restore order in this State, and our best citizens must set to work to educate the whole peo. pie up to plane above Ku. .Kluxism, above widely organized murder. We must edu- cate, educate, educate. In this, and this only, lies the States salvation. This done, and South Carolina will be prosperous and powerful State.7 for we have really great resources. To be sure, it will take time, for while some of the evils can be speedily removed, some of the others will take years in the removal. Ignorance is parent of our woes, and to remove this is not the work of day. 2a ga.

 And now, in closing, we wish to say one word to the New York Tribune in regard to this klan. We are Republican, as radi cal even as that journal, and with that journal disposed to secure the utmost vigil. ance in all matters which will affect the fortunes of the great Republican party in 1872; and yet must say that the Fri. bune's views do not begin 10 take in the depth of our troubles. Does it really SUD- pose that when these bands of disguised and armed men set out on an expedition to murder, they think of the elections of next year? Is it reasonable to suppose this? Why, some of the men hardly know that there is then to be an election for President. No. Oar troubles, to put the whole question in nutshell come from tue antagonlsms of race. The Tribune should know, does know, that race preiu. dices are fearfully deep. It takes years oi intense effort t3to bring one race that has belleved in slavery to accept the golden rule of politics, and to give the former subject race the full benefit. This. then, is our struggle, struggle which, though desperate. shall reach benefcent success n the golden days ahead. .ss so5! X 3g z

There are people who say that the mind Of
the Emperor has become confused by the
constant camor of the many and diverse
political claims which are presented to him
hourly by the leaders Of the various nation
alities subject to his rule, and that this
confusion has been rendered still more
intense by recent review of the financial
and military condition of the empire,
coupled with the Cabinet annoyances which
he has experienced from the peculiar con-
diton of his governmental relations with the
Holy See.


The Emperor Francis Joseph is personally
respected, if not actually beloved by his peo-
pie, and his wife, the Empress Elizabeth, is
exceedingly popular, on account Of her unas-
suming manner and charity.


His Majesty is in the forty-frst year of his
age, and should be in the enjoyment of the
full vigor of his intellect. 1t has been fre-
quently remarked, however, during the past
few years, that he was gradually becoming
gloomy in mind and disposed 10 retirement,
both from the presence Of the members of his
family, the association of his State counsellors
and the intimacy Of his more immediate &C.
quaintances.


The very rumor of his intention TO abdicate
is accepted as evidence Of the progress Of the
democratic sentiment in Europe.

JOHN WEsLEY's WAY.-When
John Wesley saw young man i'm
danger of falling into snare of evil
associates, he did not watch him
sharply at a distance and speak Of his
shortcomings to others, predicting
that he was ION the high road TO
ruin" He invited him to his table,
and by a gentlemanly, affable manner,
sought to give him good subjects for
conduct. Advice thus hospirsblr
enforced was very impressive. lie
would draw out the young man in
conversation and learn what studies
he was most proficient i'm, which
were most essential 10 his success,
and then assist him to acquire a mas
terry over them. Another most val
liable way of aiding a Young nan
whom social danger threatened, was
to make him acquainted With well
disposed, religious young men, who
would lead him into good paths. He
watched over their future career
with fathers interest and tender
ness, and in very simple manner
accomplished vast amount of good,
besides preventing a world of evil.

sV NANCY A. ". PRIEST.
Over the river they beckon to me-
Loved ones who've crossed to the farther


side;
The gleam Of their snowy robes / see.
But their voices are drowned in the
rushing tide.
There's one, with ringlets of sunny gold.
And eyes. the reflection of heavens own


blue; ...a.-.
He crossed in the twilight, gray and cold,
And the palo mist hid him from mortal


view.
We saw not the angels that met him there:
The gates of the city We could not see;
Over the river, over the river,
Ny brother stands waiting to welcome


me!
Over ths river the boatman pale
Carried another-the household pet;
Her brown curls waved in the gentle


gale


Darling Minnie see her yet!
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled


hands,


And fearlessly entered the phantom


bark;
We watched it glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely


dark.
We know she is safe on the farther side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be;
Over the river, the mystic river,
My childhoods idol is waiting for me!
For none return from those quiet shores,
Who cross with the boatman cold and


pale;
We hear the dip Of the golden oars,
And catch gleam of the snowy sail,
And, 10! they have passed from our


yearning hearts;
They cross the stream, and are gone for


aye;
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates Of


day;
We only know that their bark no more
May sail with us DER life's stormy sea;
Yet somewhere, know, on the unseen


shore.
They watch, and beckon, and wait for


me!
And I sit and think, when the sunsets


gold
Is flushing river, and hill, and shore,
/ shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list for the sound Of the boatmans |


oar;
1 shall watch for q CLEAN of the tapping


sail;


/ shall hear the boat as it gains the |


strand;
shall pass from sight with the boatman


pale,


To the better shore of the spirit-land;
l shall know the loved who have gone


before,
And joyfully sweet shall the meeting be,
When over the river, the peaceful river,
The angel of death shall carry me!

away. The growing spirit of law.
lessness and prescription for opin-
ions sake is rendering the property

licans more and more unsafe, and
fear the worst consequences if the
Executive Office should be
filed by one not only in sympathy
with those who urge on and inAame
this feeling, but who is moved and
actuated by them. With no one in
the Executive Office to call upon the
general government for protection,
its friends and supporters would be
handed over without mercy to the
assaults of their enemies.


For these reasons, I have de-
termined on this step, believing that
much which has already been &C.
complished can be preserved
through the wise and firm check
upon revolutionary measures that
will be given by Governor Conley
in control Of the Executive branch
of the Government. and that there
by the good Of the whole people OF
Georgia will be promoted and I
shall cheerfully give to Governor
Conley all the information and as
sistance within my power that he

One Of their number, perhaps while
carefully climbing tree on the oppo.
site side from the hunters, with view
Of starting them from their lurking
place, unconsciously exposed himself
and was wounded by the hunters -
whereupon the other Indians took to
their heels and left the hunters to re.
turn in peace to the fort. For many
years after civilization had claimed
and metamorphosed these western
wilds, the Worley brothers lived not
far from Bellaire, on the Ohio river.
A numerous progeny grew up around

Marriage Is an institution ordained
by God. A good husband supple
ments the weakness Of q woman with
his rude, rough strength. A good
wife softens the rude, rough man with
the tenderness of her own being.
Marriage is q coming into the soul,
bringing with it new duties and joys,
q revelation Of heaven and earth, and
is often positive means of salvation
to both parties. Many a young man
has been urged on in his career by the
feeble woman who stands by his side,
aiding him by her love and spirit to
rouse his energies, so that at last he is
able to reach the height of his ambi-
ton.


While we must advocate marriage,
we must not join with those who with
keenest satire ridicule the bachelor
and the maid. Can there be greater
heroism in the resolution of young
man who never dreams of home Of
his own while his old mother needs
his strong arm and aid or the maid
en- who banishes her dreams of hope
when the voice from the sick-room
calls her? No-these holiest duties,
come they to man or woman, are sa-
cred.


How is it that those who have
pledged their love at the altar, who
20 forth into life, shortly after become
so unhappy? How is it that there
are so many happy unions which soon
make desolate homes? Because they
were not married in heaven as well as
on earth, The hol;est and happiest
event that can happen on earth-the
holiest and happiest event that can
happen this side of the celestial city
is a right marriage.


Every young man and woman hopes
TO get married. 1t is an instinct I'M
parted by God; but do not let ro-
nance run away with your common
sense. That stretches younr imagina-
ton and fancy till you think you are
the most unfortunate being on earth.


Get hold of the romance that keeps
everything young, bright and beauti-
ful before you; cling to it, for this

This question of wOmanis demand for
representation is a question going back,
not only to the foundation of our Gov
ernment, but to the very existence of
woman as a responsible human being.
Self government is no more the right of
man than of woman, for it is a human
right. The history of our own country.
the history of the world, shows the rights
of any class are not safe in the hands OF
any other class. The rights of life. the
rights of liberty, the rights of property
of the colonists were not safe IN the
hands of the British. The rights of the
slaves or of the free men of color We're
not safe when the power of self-protec-
ton was not in their own hands.


It is simply impossible for any person
to do rs well for another person as that
person will do for himself. A woman
is more interested in the economical
management of her own property, than
any man, or set of men can be; woman
is more interested in the security of her
own life, than any man, or set of men
can be; a women is more interested in
the enactment of just laws for herself
than any husband, father, orson can be.
There is no protection quite equal to self
protection. When woman holds the
ballot in her own hands then she can
protect herself.

Through all the smiling land:
The flowers with brightest colors glow,
And the water with full sweet flow,


Slip Ger the sparkling sand.
She bids her birds return and sing;


The fairest of the year,
The spells her rosy fingers fling
Fall on each chill and frost-bound thing;


Sweet Spring, glad Spring is here!
Then let me lie beneath the trees,


In the sweet scented shade,
And listen to the birds and bees,
While sorrow from my bosom fees,


And every care is laid
Here will I lie and dream again


The dreams my boyhood knew,
Until from manhood's rude disdain,
And from life's absorbing pain,


Those early visions flew.
