They are -cowardly crea­ tures, Uieiw Democrats, and M> are en­ titled to uo mtrt of' respect. They are for uotliti»n--except the cilices.

Yet they appear to think they are going to win at the next presidential •lection. Possibly they will; but before Choy are put in possession of the gov- «riHae«t they ought to at least give •o«e reaseus why it should be com­ mitted to their keeping. They ought to show what the people will gain by (Hitting the Republicans ont and put­ ting them in, for the Republicans have • good record on the whole. l'hey have done some things tliey ought not to ban done; they have tuade some mis­ taken; but, all things considered, they bave done very well. President Hayes' administration, apart from tiie star rout* buftineta, which was uuder tli* Immediate direction of. Thomas J.

There seems to be an impression in that State 4hat the "best citizens" are superior to nil law, and that It Is a piece of persecution on the part of the United Slates to undertake to punish them for their rascalities. This feel­ ing Is a remnant of ante-bellum days. The whole power of the State is mar. stialed to protect these criminals. In tills it makes a grievous iristake, for the punishment of criiniunis who liaye gone to the extent the, defendents in this case have to defeat, the will ot the people should claim and receive no protection. Sooner or later the Demo­ cratic State officials will see the utter folly of their present course. Affairs tannot always remain as they are, even In South Carolina, and the time will eurely come when the evils of baliot- box stuffing' will bring greater suffer­ ing to the State than all the fancied disgrace of having a colored man rep­ resent the in in Congress. A black representative Is a fat- greater ere tilt to South Carolina than a w hite man who was elected by fraud and occupied his seat as a theft committed against the people whom lie disgraced. Par better indeed would it be for the dem­ ocrats of the state to assist the govern­ ment in prosecuting criminals than Iti upholding the latter. , Mjraterlea and MUeri<>ft of Amtrtn'idlMI Cities.

The scene at Beau­ regard, a community of 300 Inhabitants, was one of indescribable horror, the entire town being in rnins, and nearly all its people being either killed or lh> jured. Wesson, which was a town of atout 1JMX) people, suffered less, but i« a partial wreck, and the casualties are many. The towns of Tillman and Lawrence, In the same State, also suf­ fered terribly- As far as heard from, the number of the dead i« about forty, and of the In jured over 150. MTMr*. W. K.

The costumes were elaborate and costly, the quadrilles were fanciful and fantastic, the supper was first rate, the guests numbered seven hundred, six detectives mingled Willi the throng with eyes open, the house was circled wtthout by police; and a hundred thousand poverty stricken men, wom­ en and children suffered more or less from cold and want OH th<» night when Mrs. W.

The old saving that blessings bright­ en as they take their flight, wa6 illustrated in Dr. Harrison's visit. It was ton short to please his old friends, but a partial result of it was apparent the last of t4ie week when a raft of fancy bows and arrows, fishing tackle, rubber, foot aud base balls and hats. tops, toys, etc.. made their ap­ pearance at hie -Mure, greatly to the satisfaction of the ynnog men and maidens, as well as the little kidlings.
