AXortlUR KINK IN TI1K HULLOCK’.S
' ' ' TAIL.
Our bovine Excellency, Rufus Behe-
motli, the famous Bullock, has the rare fac
ulty of smattering a Tery wide space of
ground with a very small charge. A pii
vate letter recently addressed to him by a
professional gentleman in the interest of
society, and of pence and order, gave the
bellowing monster a fine opportunity to
swirl his lordly tail, and to paw up the dirt
in the most approved spring style of his
grass grateful prototypes. Unfortunately
however, for his antics, the gentleman
above referred to, comes along, and disgu:
ted with the bellowing brute, be applies the
lash to its reeking hide with such a vigor
mis force as to cut short his sport, and send
him rubbing his molly forehead against hi:
native dunghill.
The following cjrrespuudcucc shows how
the thia. was done :
LaFayette, Walker Co., Ga. )
May 20th, 1871. j
B. B. Bullor!:, Goceruor of Georgia :
Slit—On the 12th inst., in the discharge
of what I deemed an honest personal and
professional duty, laying aside all political
prejudices and motives, I wrote to you, in
the interest of society, aui asked you for
once to forget politics aud spoils, and dis
charge an honest official duty by removing
to some safe place a man who was confined
in the jail of this county ou a charge of
murder. This evening I received your re
ply, which was dated the 20th, published
in the New lira of the 21st, hut not mail
ed to me until the 23d.
1 have no desire to write myself into po
litical notoriety, for 1 am but an humid
member of the body politic; but since you
have seen proper to seize upon the unfort'i
natc circumstance of the murder of a fel
low mortal to advance party cuds, and by
either, ignorant or wilful misconstructions
(if my loiter, to create a false impression
in the public mind, I deem it mv duty to
address you a few words by way of reply.
Aud let mo premise by saying that I re
gret exceedingly the publicity that hns been
given to this grave matter by you, aud the
attempt on your part to manufacture politi
cal capital out of it. Had you been uinv-
c-1 by an honest desira to vindicate the
laws, punish crime aud better the condition
of society, it would seem that prudential
motives would have suggested a compliance
with my request, rather than that my pri
vate correspondence should have been pa
rade! in the public prints, with your com
ments thereon, for days hefoie you ever
mailed them to me, that it might add one
more rotten plank to the bridge of corrup
tion and fraud by which you may hope to
cress the gulf of your own infamy to the
elysium of a second G ubcrnatorisl term.
You attempt to make the public believe
in your address to them over my head, that
my remark about “a sword to stab my par
ty with” is an admission on my part that
Hie Democratic party will by violence wrest
from the bauds of the officers of the law,
“a man who boasts of having been appre
hended under the influence of a reward of
a thousand dollars on a charge of killing a
negro”—“a man who commits a murder be
cause his victim has the temerity to speak
well of the President of the United States”
It you have the common sense necessary
to qualify you for an ordinary constable,
you know very well that no such admission
was uiado by mo. If you attempted to
make the public believe what you did not
believe yourself, it speaks rather disparag
ingly of your sincerity,
1 was afraid tint if I wrote that letter to
you it would be seized upou as a pretext
lor political oppression. I was afraid that
anything that had the smell of ku klux
about it, would be magnified into another
ku klux outrage, and he used by you aud
those whose tool you are, to swell the num
ber of the thousand slanderous fabrications
which have been scut North to influence
the prejudices there against those good peo
ple of the State whom you now, for the
first time since you were frothed up to the
surface of the seething cauldron of politi
cal corruption by the fraud of a military
despot, admit to bo “of the most wealty, in
telligent and law abiding citizens.”
I feared this, and therefore political mo
tives would have dictated that I rhould not
write to you. But I supposed you would
lend the assistance sought after, using the
letter and the circumstance as a sword to
stab my party with, and so I wrote it. The
sequel has proven that you were more deep
ly inured in th 3 filth of political corruption
than I thought.
• No sir, the good people of Walker coun
ty, of neither party, are going to release
this man from 1 jail. No party eud, howev
er desirable, would induce the Democratic
party to tolerate such a measure for a mo
ment. Would to God that I aud the peo-
pls could have tho 'confidence to believe
that ho would not receive an Executive p.ir
don, if party interests required it, or any
party end could be affected by it.
The Democracy are not going to release
him. But you have been using all the en
ergy of your mind, and the influence of
ycur official posiliou for over three years to
prove that there is a “bloody ku k'ux iu
tho land.” Well there may he. I was
satisfied, and still am, that this priso
ner belonged to some baud of organized
criminals; aud I know that a few of those
men could come, armed aud disguised, at
night, while the guard slept, and steal him
away, and charge the outrage to the ku-
klux. I know this, because i; lias been
but a few mouths since the son of a promi
nent member of your party was so rescued
from our jail where he was confined on a
charge ol' assault with intent to murder,
while it was yet uncertain whether it v.-ould
not prove to be a murder. I know that the
vety existence, or a'leged existence of the
. ku klux would furnish evil disposed per
sons with a convenient pretext to perpetrate
his release, or it furnished two men, sup
posed to ha of your party, with a pretext
to rob the wile of one Andrews of Walker
county, whs is a good citizen and Demo
crat, of her money and valuables. Aud I
know too that it could be charged to those
wicked, or miguidod persons, called ku
klux, just as you have laid the robbery al
luded to at theirdxir, in your leccnt proc
lamation. Apd so it has proved, they could,
for ho lias already been visited by disguis
ed men at night, for what purpose I cannot
say, as it is certain they eould, but did not
ro'oase him Possibly the ku klux are hot
ter men than you aud t have supposed them
to he, and have resolved ti.at be sh-dl abide
his trial, and come to tell him so.
It is evident to the mind of every think
ing man wK) has read youi letter, that you
refused the assistance in your power in the
h-uj-b that he would be released ny his co
criminals in disguise, that it might be charg
ed up against qur parly as another political
rescue, or in the hope that the good people
of the county would refuse to turn out en
mas8eat the bidding of the Sheriff to pre
vent such an event, that political capital
rniahtiho made of-ir. In either ea=e, the
object; if attained, wonld hardly justify thc :
course you (lave pursued. A stroke of tho
pen would have removed him to a place of
safety, instead of leaving him to be guard
ed by auy Dumber of men. whose expen-es
arc to he paid by the Ordinary out of the
county treasury.
In conclusion, let me express the hope
that your letter has had, and will have,
one good effect, though not intended by
you, that it will stir up the ku klux, if there
is any such organization in the land, to see
to it that the prisoner is not released in
their name, for political or other purposes;
and that they will thus render to the coun
ty a service which the Chief Magistrate of
the State has refused, when called upon to
render, though it is a plain duty that he
should have done so.
Yours truly,
D. C. Sutton.
Papers throughout the State that have
published Bullock’s comments, will pl n ase
copy this letter.
, APOLOGETIC.
There is hardly any one so lost to his
own self respect as to be indifferent to the
good opinion o r his fellow citizens, and es
pecially of the better portion of them, the
Christian men and women of the land.—
Feeling a keen sense of this respect, I can-
n it suffer the publication of the following
correspondence without expressing a legret
that my name shouldappearinsuch a connec
tioD. Such, however, is the unenviable na
ture of my profession, that 1 could not, iu
justice to it, as well as honor to myself,
avoid the course I putsued.
In this connection, I deem it but just to
myself to state that the withdrawal of the
original demand for retraction, by the sub
stitute offered by' Col. Johnson, gave me
the pleasing opportunity to relieve tho fam
ily of Hon. Wesley Shropshire from the
misapprehension it had fallen into in re
gard to my. language.
I had too much respect for the houor
of some of our very best men aud women,
who are included in his family, to reflect iu
auy manner upon them.
I was further glad o! tin.- opportunity of
disclaiming any intention to excite parties to
violence against the person or property ol
any one. My article will hardly be socou
strued. I expressly regretted the occur
rence, and what I said was more to exten-
uate than to justify or encourage.
Thanking my friend, Maj. Burus for the
readiness with which he so well represented
me, and Col. Jeff Johnson for the gentle
manly courtesy lie extended, I have agiiu
to apologize to the public for this intrusion
upon their charitable feelings.

due to myself and courteous to yourself to
apologize for not communicating with , yon

were these : Maj. Z B. Hargrove verbal
ly informed me that you had appreciated
the objections urged against that gentle
man as your representative, and have elect
ed Col. Johnson, of Chattooga to represent
you, and in the absence of that gentlemau.

for Maj. Hargrove I am

I disclaim any intention in my editorial

ruin in the event of any decsivo- decline

averted if the commercial affairs of the

ich am paid in furtherance of this arti

further impoverishing the poor mae, and

substantial sort.—Patriot.
A CARD.
The premature and irregular publication
of the following correspondence, in the
Commercial of the 4th inst., in justice to
all parties, demands of me an explanation.
The whole subject matter aud prior corres
pondence having been referred to Colonel
Johnson and myself, we agreed upou a set
tlement, upon the following basis :
Col. Johnson submitted a proposition—
being in effect a withdrawal of the original
demand for retraction, made by Judge
Kirby and others upon Col. Sawyer—which
proposition we deemed alike honorable to
both parties, and which I accep'ed, and
thcrcupou predicated the note of disclaimer
by Col. Sawyer, which note was written by
myself aud signed by him.
It is due to state that Col. Johnson and
myself took the whole responsibility of the
settlement, and that the parties accecded to
our adjustment. Jno. T. Burns.
TO THE PUBLIC.

and thus ended an unpleasant matter.

THE DUTIES OF A JOURNALIST.
The - duties of a public journalist arc deli,
cate and trying, and too often are they
imperfectly understood, and hardly ever ap
preciated by tlie public.
A newspaper is considered the mouth-piece
ol a community. What we know of the
prosperity, the enterprise, the morals, or the
prolitics of a city, we learn it from its news
papers. These things being so, it imposes
upon the conductorsof the press a serious and
delicate responsibility. Whatever transpires
in the perview of their influence affecting the
weal or the woe of their eonstitueucy, ought
to, and docs, ddemand their prompt and rea.
dy approval or condemnation.
t n order to make his influence effective,
his judgment should be free from all bias,
either of fear or favor. Like the juror that
sits upon a special case, the journalist is
perpetually sitting in judgemrnt upon a com
munity and his verdict goes fortli to the world
with as much force as the findings of a jury.
If that judgment is to be influenced by fear,
or by favor, the community is wronged and
the representative is unworthy the position
he fills. The law justly appreciates the im
portance of the press, and has thrown around
it the mgis of its protecting arm, and the
freedom of the press is as much a boast of
civilization as is the freedom of the jury,
lint while the law thus recognises and guar
antees the troedom of the press, it does not
licence it to attacks upon the rights or honor
of private individuals, or upon the good
name of a community; hut it holds its mem
bers amenable to the law for any abuse of
its privileges—any violation of its privileges
should he visited by the law, and tho law
only. The interference of individuals, who
by threats or personal demands, seek to over
awe or restrain a journalist from the 1
mate expression of his judgement, is an at
tempt to override a sacred right of the pco
pie, and one wc trust that not only the pres
will, as a body, resent, hut that public opin
ion itself will condemn and repudiate.
Of course wc do not deny the right of a
man to demand redress for an injury, and
any honorable man would readily concede
such redress; hut we do condemn and despise
the assumption of any bully to call a journal
ist to a personal account for a simple dis
charge of his duty. Such an assumption
overrides the freedom of the press,
for no press is free that is held sub
ject to personal responsibilities. If a censor
ship has to he established, let it he one of law
and not of violence.
We trust that our cotemporarics through
out the State will make a stand in rebukin
this assumption on the part of individuals to
take the law into their own hands, and by
brute violence to override the freedom of the
press.
IS THE COUNTRY' PIIOSFEROJ
The very large cotton crop made
seems to have bccu marketed with
ordinary dispatch, aud already SoutherQ
commercial advices represent that very lit
tle cotton is coming in, and prices for all
grades of the staple have taken “a sharp
upward turn.” At the same time therp
is a general complaint at tnc commercial
centres that collections are unusually slow
and hard to make. The cotton crop, evi
dently, has not brought in mon-y propor
tioned either to the outlay nor to the ex
pectations of those who grew it. Debts
were incurred upon a basis of 24 corns a
pound, and these cannot be paid upon the
actual price of 14 cents. There is no surer
test to prosperity than that afforded by the
payment of debts, whether we Consider
communities or individuals. When a man
is doing well, ho pays promptly: when he is
doing ill, he seeks delays, renewals, accom
modations. Wo lave watched the recent
commercial movements with curious inter
est, aad we discover (hat there has seldom
been a period in our history wheu debts
were paid so tardily, so reluctantly, as io
the present period. This would seem the
more remarkable, too, taken in connection
with the fact that, commercially speaking,
there are fewer debts in exchange through
out the country than were ever known.—
Bat it will be found, on examination, that
trustees’ sales are advertised every*here
with painful frequency, showing lb. t every
where thire are compulsory settlements of
debt, involving realties and estates; aud,
also, that , local taxes are everywhere in ar
rears and delinquents to au unwonted de
gree.
The fuct is, trade is very stagnant, and
the indebtedness of the people is very great.
The individual owes no “s ore account,”
and the retailor is not deeply in debt to tho
jobber, simply because there is not that de
gree of confidence betwixt the people which
used to encourage this sort of unlimited cred
it. The jobber, however, is largely in debt
to the importer, and tho importer owes
enormous sums in fore’gn markets. At the
same time, the laborer, the aitisan, the
small farmer, the small merchant, while
pwieg no shop debts, are deeply involved
to their bank, their neighbors, or some
“building association,” all those classes be.
iog irretrievably involved in land and house

OUR NOVEL.
- CHAP. VIII.
EMMA.
Tuesday evening came. It was a pleas
ant evening—such an one as would call
forth the gladness ol nature. Hiram re
membered his engagement—in fact Hiram
bad a very unpleasantremcmbetanceof his
engagement,and unpleasant remcmberances
are not likely to slip one’s mind. A va rue,
uuquietuess, amountingalmostto a shudder
ing dread, oppressed his spirits, aud he
prepared his dress for the visit with s)me-
tbing like a victim’s nervousness. He had
long since forgotten the brutal indignity
imposed upon him by Mr. Eustace, but for
all that, he had never after felt easy under
the shadow of his roof. A strange feeling
of restraint repelled him from its doors,
and but few occasions could allure him to
enter its precincts.
Emma loo felt an unusual excitement at
the recolleetiou of the coming Tuesday, bat
no flutter of regret, aud the excitement
was manifested by the unusual eare she be
stowed upon her toilet; aud yet Emma was
hardly conscious of thia care. Her richer
jewels were discarded, and a simple white
rose was all that contrasted with the rav
darkness of her hair, and this unc'.nscious
care was the proudest triumph of Emma’s
taste, for in all herbejewcled glory, she had
never before appeared so lovely as she was
this evening.
Mr. Eustace receive! Hiram with the
best grace possible for his boorish nature,
for !Ir. Eustace had caught the popular
faith iu the coming importance of Hiram
and though his treacherous soul still hated
the hoy, his fawnmg pride was eager to
conciliate the rising tuau.
“The confounded niggers bother me to
death 1 ” he said, after the stereotyped com
pliments of such occasions. “My overseer
reports three of them in the woods, hut
won’t I peel them though, wheu I catch
them again,” he added with
chuckle.
Hiram’s manly nature shrank in disgust
from an answer, and after enjoying his
chuckle for a moment, Mr. Eustace con
tinued, “It all comes though of you seces
sionists—you keep such a mouthing about
the Uuion—md the Uoi.n, until the nig
gers have gotten hold of the idea that you
intend to burst up the Union, and then they
will bo free.”
Hiram wished above all things to avoid
an argument with Mr. Eustace, and he
f.leasautly parried the proposition. But
Mr. Eustace was too' dee; ly concerned iu
his argument to be diverted, aud he con
tinued, ‘Yes, and that will he the upshot
of it—mind if it don’t. You all will keep
ou and keep on with your secession, and
your separate-State action, and your nulli
fication, until you hurst up the Uuion, and
away goes the nigger.”
Hiram’s nature was quick as the warm
Southern blood that pulsed iu his veins,
and with a sadden spar, he replied, “And
do you think, Mr. Eustace, that for the
sordid consideration of property, wo would
submit no the usurpations of the North and
the crashing of ourrights. The liberty of
the Southern white man is far more deal to
me than the slavery of the Southern ne
gro.”
“Yes, that’s it. You fellows that have
no niggers to lose, can talk mighty big
about git iog up property and standing to
principle, but with us it is different, sir.—
You don’t care a fig for our property, all
vou prate about is principle.”
“I am aware that those who have more
property than principle at stake argue as
you do sir,” scornfully replied Hiram, un
mindful even of the appcarauco of Mrs.
Eustace aad Emma, who, with the easy fa
miliarity of true Southern manners, had
this instant joined them upon the verandah
that bordered the western elevation of the
mansion.
A bitter rage arose to the lips of Mr.
Eustace, but the gentle voice of Mrs. Eu
stace interrupted his reply by saying, as
she extended her hand, “Good evening Hi
ram, 1 am so glad to welcome you to my
home; I feared that your preparations for
yonr departure might interfere with your
promised visit, and this pleasure would have
been denied us.”
niram’s very soul shrank down in shame
and mortification. He fclc that this splen
did lady had heard his bitter retort, aad he
could have for very shame crawled away
from her presence forever.
Mrs. Eustace perceived and understood
his embarrassment, and she playfully con
tinued,
“You gentlemen were discussing politics.
You must know that for - this evening at
least, they are to be interdicted. Emma
and I know too little about them to join in
the discussion, and yon know a lady cannot
possibly remain a silent listener, Talkie;
is a prerogative that we cannotyielJ, and so
you must accommodate your discourse to
our capacity.”
Emma too stepped forward, and with a
sweet frankness—uo less queenly because
sweet and frank—extended her hand.
•I too must join mother in au expression
of pleasure because of this visit.”
Hiram’s heart appreciated the sincerity
of the offering, and he quickly recovered.
IIis generous impulses were as strong as bis
less noble oncs.r.nd giving way to them, he
turned to Mr. Eustace with a frank apolo
gy-
“If Mr. Eustace will permit me to with
draw my hasty retort, I will be glad in
deed to eschew politics, not only for the
evening, but for the all time to come.”
Mr. Eustace could not appreciate the del
icacy of tho matter and gruffly replied,—
“Oh, It is of no consequence to me at all.
I see you secessionists are going to ruin
everything, and I had just as wel’ make up
my mind to give up my niggers.” And
withanairof outraged justice, Mr. Eus
tace arose and withdrew from the circle.
It was Emma’s turn now to blush for
shame, while Mrs. Eustace’shead was bow
ed with mortification. Hiram with a last
as delicate as that of Mrs Eustace the mo
ment before, interposed.
“You ladies arc happy indeed in yonr
seclusion from tie ungrateful personality
of politics. Men, however, are inured to
their harshness, and submit to their bitter
ness with a ready philosophy.”
And yet it occurs to me that much of
its bitterness could be obviated, if gentle
mon”— Mrs. Eustace essayed to remark.
If gentlemen were as true in their in
stincts, aud as gcctle in their hearts as la
dies,” Hiram interrupted. “Bnt men arc
not. They are never so sensitively deli
cate in their perceptions of. right and of
wroog as are women. Nor are they so
kindly disposed; and perhaps it is best that
they are net,” ho added after a seconds
pause, “it would unfit them for th; stern
duties of manhood.”
Emma felt that it was no idle compli
ment that Hiram offered, aud her check
;Iowcd with a plcasurableflushassbc heard
lim.
'Yes, I suppose it is so,” thoughtfully
replied Mrs. Eustace. “We each have our
appropriate spheres, and for each wc aro
fitted.” And then after a moment’s si
lence she continued, “It only remain for us
to strito, each
—In our humble sphere to shine.”
“If one could only content one’s relf to
do so,” answerod Hiram, with a doubtful
expression.
One cannot always have one’s philoso
phy arrayed for evory and any omergeney,”
said Emma. “I sometimes think that wo
men ought to kuow more abont these things.
Without tho trouble of investigating the
questions, they enter at once into their
spirit with all tho energies of their nature,
trusting more to a firm conviction of right,
than the socure dictates of so enlightened
reason."
"Aud yet it require; nut the secure dic-
titer of an cnlightVicd reason to tell ns,
that the heart conviction of a woman’s na
ture is almost always right,” answered Hi
ram with a crave low. “Indeed,” he con
tinued, I find that the first and instinctive
convictions of the heart are oftener right
than wrong, and all oar subsequent research
only tends to strengthen us in our first im
presdons.”
“You believe, then, that the' will con
trols one’s opinions, more than the reason,
and that to
‘Convince a man against his will,
He's of the samo opinion still?' ”
asked Emma with a quick smile.
.“Hardly that,’’.answered Hiram. “The
will in that case is but prejudice. Our
instincts can.be wrought upon by extrane
ous circumstances, and their first prompt
ings subdued aud removed; and what we
first thought was right, and which, indeed,
was right, can be controled by prejudice
imbibed from others, into another and far
different conviction, a conviction of wrong. ’
“You think that our instincts are from
the depths of our own hearts, and our pre
judices are from our outward atmosphere,”
asked Mrs. Eustace.
“Yes, wc imbibe our pr.-judiccs from
others, while our instincts are our own.”
answered Hiram.
“Then the correctness or the falsity of
our convictions depend npon the purity of
our own hearts, as compared .vith the
hearts o r those from whom we imbibe our
prejudices,” said Emma.
“Not to the fullest extent, but neverthe
less, to a great degree. Our instincts are
less liable to be biased by selfishness than
the prejudices of others; aud to that ex
tent, at least, they are to be esteemed the
better.”
“I believe yon,” said Emma with a smile
of approval, “and wc are sometimes not so
bad ourselves es others think u>.”
Hiram wondered why Emma said so.
Only for a moment, however, and a quick
thrill coursed his nerves as he answered,
vicious i.j t ; 5 trUPj we 0 ft cn judge too harshly, for,
although we may hot always ‘see ourselves
as others see us,’ yet we are sometimes bet
ter than they judg; us.”
“And it was for that our blessed Saviour
exhorted us to hold our feeble human jud^
meat in abeyance when he said, 'Judge not
that ye be not judged,’” said Mrs. Eustace,
with the sweet 3mile of her Christian spirit
lighting up her faec.
Hiram was silent for a moment,-and then
he said, “Aud yeti too often do it.”
“And we all do it,” replied Mrs. Eustace,
with a slight drooping of the voice. “But
it is not strange,” she continued, lifting her
tone, “seeing that there arc none of ns
good—no not one.”
Pending this conversation ihe party had
remained standing—Emma’s queenly figure
drawn to its proudest height, while one
hand restcl confidingly npon her mother’s
arm—Hiram carelessly leaned against the
balu-itrade of the verandah, while Mrs. Eu
stace stood looking into his face with a
frank and friendly familiarity. The sun
bad not yet set, but its last and softest
rays were tipping with golden beauty the
green leavcB of the elms. At the farther
extremity of the verandah hung the cages
of Emma’s birds, from which the waken
notes of the nightingale warbled a wel
come to the first peeping star. Its happy
melody serred to recall the party from the
silence into which it had hushed after the
last words of Mrs. Eustace.
“There,” said Emma, “Dick has shaken
off the drowsy silence of the afterne; a, and
is greeting the falling night—how grateful
it is in him to hail with gladsome sung that
season which hring3 to others only gloom
and silence-”
“That proves, my dear, that there is no
season but what has its appropriate bless
ings. It may bring only fepose to some,
only watchful care to others, and to others
ouly gloom and darkness, hut yet to others
still it comes as a season of joy and of
gladuess,” answered Mrs. Eustace, as she
interlocked her arm in her daughters and
they thin unconsciously coi.menced to
promenade the verandah.
Had Hiram reflected for a moment, he
would have .been surprised at the total ab
sence of that undefined embarrassment
which so oppressed him an hour before—
with the same careless feeling he would
have left in the presence of his own home,
be inhaled the beauty of the evening, and
abandoned himself to its enjoyment.
Emma too felt a glad relief. No traces
of hatcur could be found in the radiant
beauty of her countenance, but she appear
ed to Hiram as she had never appeared be
fore, radiant as the evening star, but as
gentle as its fragrant dews.
f'Mother has a very happy philosophy
Mr. Lavender,” she said in response to
Mrs Eustace’s remark.
“And a very correct one, also, Miss Em
ma,” he replied. “It is indeed a happy
thought that whatever does come, brings
with it some good or some joy to others,
even though it brought only sorrow to us.
“Aye, but few of us can have the gener
osity to appreciate its good to others, when
it brings only evil to us,” replied Emma
with a depreciating tone.
“Nor few of us in the joy it bringcihto
us are ready to sympathise with the sor
rows it brings to others,” answered Hiram.
“But I do not know as it matters much af
ter all,” he added, “for the day of our rejoic
ing will also come as will the day of our
sorrow. Gray, in his incomparable ode to
Eton College, utters a bit ol philosophy
that has often reconciled me to my discon
tent.”
“What is it?” asked Emma.
“It is this,” answered Hiram, repeating
the stanzas:
“I would not live alway— no welcome the tomb.
Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its
gloom.”
“There yon have the true secret of yonr
acceptance of yonr mortal suffering, Mr.
Lavender/’ she continued, with a devout
energy. “He who was more than mortal
man can ever be, lowed his head in
sorrow, aud you hod I, and all else on earth
beside, may weB accept his heavy cross.”
Had one arose from the dead and spoken
these words, they would not have fallen up
on the astounded ears of Hiram with a
more complete surprise. lie almost caught
his breath with the suddenness of his
amaze, and could only stammer—
“Emma Eustace, 1 have wronged yon.”
A thrill, unfelt, unknown, undreamedof
before shook the soul of Emma. Mrs. Eu
stace felt the einotiou of her daughter
trembling upon her arm, aud shn quickly
said,
“Yes, Hiram Emma is right—there is
that within every human hcait'that tells ns
of the divinity of Him, the Son of God,
who was given to death that we may live,
who suffered that our sufferings might be
sanctified And it is this that reconciles
your spirit tc its own load of care.” Hi
ram quickly recovered and was ready to an
swer.
“It is indeed true, Mis. Eustace, and I
was ouly surprised that what I felt in my
own heart as a secret truth, should find an
utterance in the words of Miss Emma.”
“There is a subtle sympathy with the
hidden secrets of the soul, Hiram, that may
never be explained. I understand too lit
tie of metaphysics or of psychology, to
whichever these mysteries belong, to think
of their discussion. I only know that that
which oue tr le heart feels as a truth, can
make its impress felt, and its music heard
upon the chords of millions more.”
Hiram bowed an answer, and the prom
onadc was continued in silence until the
cheering ring of the supper bell warned
them to prepare for that most grateful of
all southe'n meals.
At the table Mr. Eustace was more gra
cions, aud entered into the entertainment
of his gnest with a pleasantness which, if
it were indeed forced, was muclf better than
his usual churlishness.
After supper ho excused himsolf, and
Mis. Eustace and Emma conducted Hiram
to the brilliant parlor,
“Mr. Hudson tells us that you have cho
sen the law as a profession, Hiram, with
seme little reluctance,’’ said Mrs. Enstaee,
after a somewhat awkward lull in the con-
vers: t on.
Hiram’s thoughts were as foreign io this
subject a3 the poles are oposile, and he was
for a moment confused for a reply.
“Yes—or rather no,” he said -at length.
I strongly inclined to the profession of
engineering, and believe that I could have
succeeded iu it; bat the law was held np to
me by mv mother and Mr. Muggleton in
such bright promises, that I was led to
adopt it with a hopeful zcaL”
And I think you did well in your con
clusion, Hiram,” returned, the lady, with a
friendly manner.
“It certainly opens a splendid path to
distinction,” he replied, “but at the same,
time the path is not a flowery one.”
“No, there is no flowery path to distinc
tion. Fame’s temple stands out grand and
beautiful to look upon, bnt be who will
mount its loftiest steps will have to strug
gle for the honor.”
'I shall expect difficulties,” answered
Hiram, with a consciousness of bis power
to grasp and overcome. Emma caught the
expression that lit up his fine face, and she
felt a secret pride in his moral strength.

“Then you accept suffering as the com.,
mon lot of man.” said Emma, with a grave
earnestness.
“Not without a qualification,” he an
swered -“none may hardly expect to be
exempt from sufferiog, but yet it is not im
perative that none should be so. My con
dolence was in the thought that if I suf
fered myself, there were others as good, or
perhaps better than I who had suffered al
so.”
“That, sir, is rather a selfish philosophy*
archly answered Emma.
“Yes,” as frankly answered Hiram. “It
admits ot that interpretation, and yet I
take no-delight iu their sufferings, nor
would 1 have others to snff:r merely be
cause I do, but since others have done so, I
feel that I am no Wursc than my fellow
men because of mine.
In a more bcmcly phrase, misery loves
company,” lightly answered Emma.
Hiram felt slightly piqued. “Is it pos
sible,” he thought “that she does not un-
‘derstaud me,” but he said nothing. Emma
perceived the constraint ot his silence, and
she said:
I understand yon, Ml Lavender. To
bold yourself exempt firom sufferiog would
be to cxhalt yourself above a common hu
manity, and not assuming to be able to do
that, you accept a sorrow as a dispensation
peculiar to all, even the greatest.”
Emma spoke this with a grave earnest
ness that surprised and touched niram.— : *
He fch that he had misjudged the woman,'
and that she could fathom the mystery of

himself.
Yes.” he answered, that ia what I mean

“Did you ever reflect upon the grandenr

Resolutions adopted by the Ohio State Dem
ocratic Convention.
Resolceil by the Democracy of Ohio 1st, That
denouncing the extraordinary means by
which they were brought about, we recog
nize as accomplished facts the three amend
ments to the Constitutiou, recently declar
ed adopted, and consider the same no lon
ger political issues before the country.
2d. We demand that the rule of strict
construction, as proclaimed by the Demo
cratic fathers, and accepted by statesmen of
all parties, be rigorously applied now to the
Constitution above referred to, and insist
that those amendments shall not be htld to
have in any respect altered or modified the
original theory of the Federal Government
bnt only to have enlarged the powers de'e-
gated to it, and to that extent and no more
to have abridged the reserved right of the
States, and that as thus construed the Dem
ocratic party pledges itself to a fall, faith-
fnl and absolute execution and enforcement
of the Constitntion as it now is, so as to se
cure equal rights to- all persons under it,
without distinction of race, color or previ
ous conditioD.
3d. That the absolute equality of each
and every State within the Union is a fun
damental principle of the Federal Govern
ment; that wc should always cherish and
uphold the American system of State and
purposes and the GenerSl Government for
general purposes only, and are unalterably
opposed to all -attempts at a centralization
or consolidation of power in the bands of
a general government, and more especially
when such attempts are io the form of
usurpation by any department of that gov
ernment.
4th. That we adhere firmly to the prin
ciples of maintaining perfect independence
between the co-ordinate- departments of the
government, the legislature, executive and
judicial, condemning all encroachments by
the one on the functions of the other.
5tb. While the fundamental law. as ex
pressed in the Constitntion, is necessarily
paramount, until abrogated as prescribed by
that instrument, all legislation is in it- na
ture and purposes, temporary, and subject
to change, modification and repeal at: the "*" c acre ‘
will of the majority of the people as ex
pressed through toe law making power, aud
that the pretend that any act of Congress
not executed, or any legislative policy of
party is an absolute finality, is totally in
consistent with the whole theory of govern
ment, and that it is the unquestionable
right of the people, of themselveg and
through their representatives, at each suc
cessive election aod in each success vc Con
gress, to judge what legislation is necessa
ry, proper or appropriate to carry into ex
ecution or enforce thecentral pewers, rights are
and duties of the Federal Government.
Cth. That as an instance of the eminent
ly appropriate legislation under the Four
teenth Amendment we demand now of Con
gress universal amnesty.
7tb. That while we denounce all riotous
combinations and conspiracies against law,
or to disturb peace in the South or else
where, we demand of all good citiacos their
utmost influence to pot all sncli down. We
also denounce the act commonly called the
bayonet bill, recently passed by Congress,
and the more recent act commonly- called
the kn klux bill, extending by its terms to
any State, and enacted for no other purpose
than to complete centralization of all pow
er in the hands of the General Govern
ment, aqd to establish a military despotism
and thus to perpetuate the present admin
istration without regard to the will of the
people as not only inconsistent with the
whole character and theory of the Federal
Government, and as revolationary and dan
gerous in their character, but are in direct
conflict with the spirit- and letter of the
Constitution, including the amendments
whieh they pretend to enforce.
