With golden bordered clonda and fragrant

When love in yonder greenwood tree U eing

But ah alaa ! why long* my eoul to-day
For rfreama which buried hope* were won t to

Why call the phantom* of the pact in vain?

No blush of stain upon his name—
Deny it he who can!
For friend and foe have but one voice—
“ God wot a kmghty man.”
Through him the grand Arthurian days
Are brought again to earth,
And courtly deeds and courtly praise
Benew their golden birth.
The gorgeous splendor of the peat,
Which fabled legend tells.
Through him is brought before our gaze,
In living miracle*.
No booted knight in arms bedigbt
E’er wore a lordlier name,
And glory never haloed round
A grander, purer fame.
Be battled for his own, but when
Fate crushed the fabric down
She still, that she might bless the world,
Bequeathed it his renown—
The hero whose nntarnished sword
Oleams brightest in defeat.
Who turned in eeern from Fortune's horde
To kneel at Honor's feet.
Hats off! Although no victor he.
The laurels he has won
Stand peer beside the prondeat bays
The proudest brow upon.
Hats off! A hero passes by,
A rose of chivalry.
Who shows the world how grand a thing
A vanquished man may be.
IN TIME OF FAMINE.
She had no heart, they said, and turned away;
Then, stung so that I wished my words might
be
Two-edged swords, I answered low :
Have ye
Not read how once when famine held fierce
sway
In Lydia, and the men died day by day
Of hunger, there were found brave souls,
whose glee
Scarce hid their pangs, who said : "Now, we
Can eat but once in two days; we will play
Such games on those days when we eat no
food
That we forget our pain ?”
Thus they withstood
Long years of famine, and to them we owe
The trumpets, pipes and balls which mirth finds
good
To-day, and little dream that of such woe
They first were born.
That woman's life I know
Has been all famine. Mock now, if ye dare
To hear her brave, sad laughter in the air.

THE APOSTLE OF HATE.
Wendell Phillips’ Brstal Tirade—A Hbarp
Krbako Administered by a Maasachasetts
Republican Paper.
Editor* Chronicle and Constitutionalist:
Wendell Phillips’ last frenzy has been
extensively published in the Bonth. Is
he a leader t No. Has he a following 1
No. He is too erratic, too unreliable,
too vindictive, too sensational, and can
not be said to have a following in any
other sense than oan be said of the pro
prietor of a cock pit or a Raree show.
He draws a crowd, whose desire is to be
amused. He is a prestidigitateur. a po
litical aerobat, and nothing more. He
is repudiated by the Boston Daily Ad
vertiser, the leading Republican paper
of New England, in the following edi
torial. G. R. 8.
[Boston Adeertiser, Republican.)
Sooner or later every public man who
is in a position to render service to his
country must expect to fall under the
condemnation of Mr. Phillips. The
greater the difficulties he may have to
overcome, and the greater his desert,
the more certain he will be todrawdown
Mr. Phillips’ wrath. Now and then a
public man strikes out in anew direc
tion, like Butler in Massachusetts or
Oameron in Pennsylvania, and makes
himself suffioiently obnoxious to the
prevailing moral sentiment to win Mr.
Phillips’ friendship. In such cases the
large resources of our language fail to
answer the demands for eulogy.
Home, sit thee down upon this flowery bed,
While I thy emisble cheeks do ooy;
And stick musk roses in thy sleek, smooth
heed.
And kiss thy fair, Urge sera, my gentle Joy.
This is not of frequent occurrence
with him. Few men have been so un
fortunate as to get his approbation, and
to keep it. Lincoln started with his dis
pleasure, and never lost it, exoept at
short intervals, till the day of his death.
Every member of the first Cabinet ran
the gauntlet of his furious invective.
“He” [Lincoln] “may be honest,” said
this br >ve man in the Summer of 1861,
—“nobody cares whether the tortois >■
honest or not; he has neither insight
“ nor prevision nor decision. ” .. “There
*‘is not in the government—Seward,
“ Chase, Stanton, Welles or the Presi
“ dent of the country—enough to make
“a leader.” The President won Mr.
Phillips’ favorite epithet of “slave
hound” at the very moment when he
was perfecting the soheme of emancipa
tion, which plaoed his name at the top
of the roll of saints and martyrs of hu
man liberty. Grant and his counsellors
fared no better; although there were
times in the ooarse of his checkered
Presidency when Mr. Phillips relented
for short periods and became compara
tively gracious. And now oomes the
tarn of Hayes sod his Cabin'"..
Mr. Phillips has a bold tongue, but
the bulwark behind which he uses it is
always a safe one. Sometimes its vio
tima are dead; sometimes they are in the
thick of battle, and have no ear for the
discord iu the rear; always, if alive, they
we occupied with great duties, striving
to establish justioe and maintain peaoe
an the midst of the oonfliet of foroes
whioh make np onr mixed society and
government. Theirs is the daily and
nightly labor and responsibility; his the
safe and easy task of entertaining ca
rious orowds with eloquent words wing
ed with hate and poison. He lives in
the Berene contemplation of oonfliot. An
era of good feeling wonld be death to
him. The fieroer and hotter the strife,
if far enough off, the greater the joy of
these carpet warriors, who from their
“cowards' castles” lannoh their poison
ed weapons at the oaptains and leaders
of the host who are fighting their battles
and winning victories they are not fit to
cjoy. Tn every crisis of the nation it
is the men at the front who are doing
the work a grateful and trustful nation
has assigned to them, against whom the
hate of these eloquent men is always
turned;
It is not strange, therefore, that the
President, in attempting to carry out a
beneficent policy, the symbols of which
are justioe and peaoe, should find it im
possible to command the approbation of
these superior men. The one servioe—
to quote Macaulay under somewhat dif
ferent circumstances—(the oa* servioe
they can do is to hate him, and each as
they may all who hate him be! Of
coarse, the members of the Cabinet do
not escape Mr. Phillips’ peculiar ven
geance. Mr. Everts is a man of “no
principles.” Mr. Sherman “ entered
Congress poor and leaves it rich.”
“Then comes Sohnrz, the Swiss soldier,
always to let.” “Key brings in Tilden
and secession.” And last oomes “Slave
hoand Devena.” This epithet Mr. Phil
lips rolls as a sweet morsel nnder his
tongue. The venom of twenty years
seems to have been gathered together
and concentrated for this special occa
sion. There may be some persona in
Philadelphia and in distant parts ot the
country to which his words will be car
ried, who will think the worse of the!
Attorney-General on aooonnt of them.
Bat he has the consolation of knowing
that gallant and upright men, doing
their appointed work loyally, have trod
den this path before, and never failed to
reach the end of it witbont barm. Mr.
Phillips haa missed his mark many
times in his life, but never more sig
nally than when he attempted to talk
down the character and the life of
Judge Devens.

CHAPTKB in—CONTINUED.
After all this he could never again be
lieve in Walden’s fidelity to duty or his
courage before the enemy. But, at the
same time, a large portion of Kornfses
sel’s own heroic determinations were
consigned to an early grave, even before
the war was declared, and the hero of
the future, who had been disappointed
in hia dearest, hopes walked np and
down the casemate in gloomy resent
ment, and the gunners withdrew timid
ly on one side before bis furious glances
and angry commands.
CHAPTER nr.
In the mean time Henry Yon Walden
had kept on his way, and in a few min
utes had reached the rocky streets and
dilapidated houses of the little city.—
Passing bv several stately public build
ings which adorned Ibe shore, and the
great deserted barracks, the offioer di
rected bis steps toward the red house.
The Italian gardener, who only very
reluctantly had opened to the Countess
the house which had been abandoned
by her husband, remembered distinctly
the scene between bis master and the
first lieutenant, and took no pains to
conceal the displeasure with which he
admitted the latter for the seoond time.
Much more friendly was the welcome
which the officer, who was already on
the broad marble stairs, received from
Pepi, a little maid with black eyes and
rosy cheeks, who sought to oomp> nsate
for the shortness and shapelessness of
her figure by the eprighthness of her
movements, and whose first words indi
cated that she had been spoiled by a
kind mistress, and was gradually de
veloping into an “enfant terrible.’’
“ Now it is delightful to have you
back at last, Mr. Von Walden,” cried
she, and then continued quickly : “The
Countess has scarcely closed her eyes on
your account, and has said continually
that something would surely happen to
yon in these troublous times; and in
that, she was right, for I know how we
were treated until we found this place.
We intended at first, you know, to go on
the other side where it is all Italian and
not imperial, but suddenly a crowd of
yellew fellows hopped out of a little
house and demanded a pass of my Coun
toss—could you believe it—a pass of my
Countess, as if we were vagrants; and
because our pass was not signed by the
Italian Ambassador (as the service looks
of the polioe are with us), we were com
pelled to turn back again. * But now the
great trouble commenced; for the oth
ers, you know, our people, would not let
us come in peeped into every
hat box. The men even asked
me if I bad no silks or cigars under my
paletot. The insolent, scoffing creatures !
As if I oould help being as broad as I
am long !" ..
Carried away by the recollections of
■heir dangers and adventures, Pepi had
entirely forgotten the impatience of her
mistress, when thehasty pushing back of
a chair and a quick step was audible in
the room before which the loquacious
maid still detained Mr. Von Walden.
Immediately afterwards the folding
doors were opened and a tall female
figure appeared. The Counters was
dressed in a simple black silk and her
full figure, which Kornfaessel had re
membered,waß somewhat thinner, and her
bright oolor had faded a little. Her rich
hair, which was once between light
brown and blonde, had been beautified
by a third modification, whioh at a little
diatance looked like light hair-powder,
but was in reality silver threads which
w re already very plentifully sprinkled
among her smooth locks.
“Henry, of Btyria, is again on
land ! ” exclaimed the Countess, taking
the not very small, but white, well
formed hand of the officer; and a melan
choly smile which seemed to shine out
from times Jong past, lighted up her
features, while her brown (Byes were
fastened inquiringly on her visitor—“l
have already felt the keenest remorse
that I should have accepted of you at
this disturbed and dangerous time a
servioe which, according to your former
experiences, might have ended very
humiliatingly for yourself. Of course
you have not accomplished your objeot;
it was silly and venturesome in me to
permit the' attempt,” continued the lady
with unsteady voioe, anxiously contem
plating the yonng man, as if she still
hoped that from his embarrassed sileaoe
the bright sunbeams of glad tidings
might break forth.
Henry Von Waldpn raised the hand
whioh he held to his lips, and led the
Countess to the high-backed sofa that
stood on one side of the room, which
waa painted in the pompeiian style.
“I have seen Caroline,” said he then,
“but that is all. I succeeded in getting
into the garden of the villa Bandimiani,
but the laborers and domestics fright
ened me away from the neighborhood of
the house, where I could have hoped to
approach her. At last towards evening,
as she was taking a walk in the park, I
waa enabled to get within a few steps
of her"
“Ah 1” said the Countess, with a sigh
of relief, after listening to the officer’s
words in breathless suspense, “Pow
does she look, is she happy ?”
The officer oast down his eyes.
“I would rather not answer the seoond
question, for l have not spoken to the
Countess Caroline. However, in regard
to her looks, I remained long, very long
in silent contemplation, before I could
comprehend that this charming, pensive
being who sat opposite me, was really
my gay little oousin Caroline, who had
once romped through all the corridors
of your Venetian palaoe; and had been a
most appreciative listener to my absurd
stories. But when the young lady, as
if disturbed by my gaze, suddenly open
ed her dark, fawn-like eyes, and looked
around timidly and shudderingly, then
I reoognized every feature of my dear
little friend. I no longer found that
childish brightness, but in its plaoe an
other expression. I know not, my cou
sin, if in her laae there was that happi
ness and oontentment which, according
to yonr request, I was to look for. And
even if I had arrived at the conclu
sion that Caroline’s meditations seemed
to indicate a deep soul sorrow, I still
had no opportunity to deliver the letter
with whioh you had charged >ne under
such circumstances; for the laurel hedge
in wbicj I had bidden myself betrayed
me by its rustling, and the dreaming
dove under the palms fluttered timidly
away before I could call to her that it
was a friend who had surprised her. My
offioial duties did not permit me to re
main more than one day, and caution
forbade my leaving the letter behind.
So, I come back witbont having accom
plished my object. You see lama poor
messenger, my honored cousin !”
The young officer placed a folded,
sealed paper, whioh he had taken from
bis uniform, on the gray marble table.
The Countess, whose face had become
more and more animated while she lis
tened, cast a careless glance at the let
ter, then looking at it more closely, took
it np. She examined the half effaced
bandwriting of the address, and said
anxiously;
“The letter bus been wet; you must
have bad an accident, you look ao pale
and exhausted. I would npyey forgive
myself for it.”
“I was overtaken yesterday evening
by a severe thunder storm, perhaps as a
punishment for eurprisiDg my eonsin
Caroline,” laughed Walden, oasting
down his eyes.
“And all on our account—how can we
thank you, dear Walden ?” said the
Countess fervently, while her white
hands toyed with the paper. “It is
certainly better for Caroline that the
letter, to the writing of which a de
spairing mother was persuaded in the
angnish of a io&ely hour, and in conse
quence of a meeting with you, did not
reach its address. Indeed, J. am infi
nitely happy at your bringing jute the
news that Caroline does not seem dis
turbed and miserable, as if the were
oppressed by a secret grief. And she is
ebarming, lovely, do you say ?’,
With a confident smile, the Countess
awaited his answer, as if she were sure
in advance what it would be,
Walden blushed deeply, and stam
mered :
“I believe so !”
“You only believe so,” replied the
Countess, half jestingly. “Yet, as a
rule, you young gentlemen have very
decided opinions about a lady's personal
appearance.”
The glance with which Henry Von
Walden now looked up out of bis dark
gray eyes into his conisin’s face waa fall
and clear and candid, and his voioe very
earnest as he answered:
“f will not deny that I have found
many women beautiful, even admired
some with the quick ready admiration
and decision which is almost seoond
nature with us men. But Caroline, I
saw not with such eyes, and therefore it {
is difficult for me to say whether she is
that whieh I once would have called
very beautiful You know, gracious
cousin,” continued Walden, while his
voice trembled slightly, and he vainly
strove to throw off the embarrassment
which had oppressed him since he cape
in, “you know how much Caroline’s
youthful nature depended upon jae
when she waa child. frit probably
you never noticed the deep atWhmatn
whioh I bestowed upon yoar daughter,
whose pure guileless companionship be
came indispensable to me, in the midst
of a society which knew nothing be
tween indifferenoe and passion, not even
hate. Yon will believe that it was a
seyere blow to me, when I was not al
lowed to me the child again. But no
changes of plaoe o ft life have driven the
little creatpre with the long bled locks,
nd the dark eyes in h/m phite
face, who sang and laughed with
me when I was gay, and wept with me
when I was sad, without asking why—
no, nothing has ever banished Caroline
from my recollections. Indeed, my mem
ory was more constant than the reality,
for in the former your dsnghter has al
ways remained a child. When, for the
first time after years of absence, my lit
tle friend greeted me from a window of
this honse, scarcely changed, with the
same features and the same bright smile,
it seemed to me that life’s last cloud
must vanish before this childish joy.
Yesterday I saw Caroline, but this time
she was changed, much changed, herself
it is trne, but no longer my gsy little
girl Strange to ssy, until now, I had
never reflected that even my little friend
would grow to be a woman and excite
and experience sentiment like other
women. For this reason a comparison
of her appearance with the idea which
one expresses by the word beautiful,
was farthest from my thoughts, and
while it filled me with raptnre to have
been once so dear to her, I was terrified
to think that she was no longer s child,
and that I was committing an offense in
being so near her.”
Walden arose and drew a long breath,
as if his uniform coat was too narrow
for his nnnsnally broad chest. The
Countess had also risen, and deeply
agitated stood facing him, and looking
with a sort of raptnrous curiosity into
his manly face, now glowing with the
noblest passion, softly said :
“Walden, you love my child.”
After a pause, the young officer lifted
np his bowed head, and passing his
hand through his light hair, replied
with an embarrassed smile and trem
bling voice:
“According to all that I have heard of
love, I believe that you are right, my
honored eonsin. Bcold me for my folly—
yon would have the right to do so. Bnt
there are men whose hearts do not grow
old with them, and I am one, in spite of
my thirty years. I know that such an
old, childish character deserves little
confidence or indulgence*, and, to say
the least of it, is little fitted to be the
companion and protector of sneb a ten
der being. I know also that it would
be great folly in me to cherish any hope
or desire, therefore my love shall be
silent and unselfish, and whether it dis
tresses or makes me happy, it shall dis
tnrb no one. But you wished to know
the truth, and I tell you what I believe
to be true.”
The flames of enthuaiasm had died
out in Walden’s face, and pale and as if
broken in spirit, he leaned on the back
of one of the high carved ohairs.
Shaking her head, and with folded
hands, the Countess bad listened :
“ You love the child,” she murmured.
“ It is strange that I should never hftve
thought of this before, while now it
seems that the most natural of all
unions would be between you. And Caro
line ?” continued the Countess oheer
fully.
Walden’s melancholy smile recalled to
her mind that her daughter was only a
child when he had last spoken with her,
and since she had become a young lady,
she had never seen him.
A troubled shadow passed over the
face of the Countess, and then she Said
with sorrowful kindness :
“ I may not encourage hopes or expec
tations, in the fulfillment of which I
cannot assist, for I have no claim on my
own child, whose very face has bees
turned away from me, as one unworthy
of her. My favor would really be the
surest means of destroying yonr last
hope if you could indulge one; but, at
the same time, it will perhaps not be en
tirely a ma ter of indifference to yon
that I could see no one in preference to,
or with more confidence than yourself,
as the future husband of my daughter.”
Speechless from unexpected joy, Wal
den stood for a moment, then he seized
the white hand of the Countess, and car
ried it almost devoutly to bis lips and
brow.
“Mother 1” whispered he—
Almost violently, with a pecnliar con
vulsive motion, the Conntess withdrew
her band, whieh was wet with the tears
of a thirty-year old soldier.
“We forget,” said she quickly, “that
Hippolyt, that my husband, wonld rather
see his only ohild dead at his feet than
give her to yon in marriage.”
“I believe it, I must believe it!”
cried Walden, whose features were sud
denly lighted by a wild hope. “But
why, why ? You do not think a man
without title or fortune too insignificant
for your daughter—and so far as I know,
Count Bandimiani was never arrogant
or purse proud.”
With wonderful sympathy, the Coun
tess surveyed the flame which she had
kindled, and her eyes fell
“Hippolyt hates you I ”
“I know it, but why ? ” repeated
Walden. “For years I have racked my
brain over this mystery without being
able to discover any solution of it. By
the side of your child’s memory which
has attended me like a guardian angel,
her father’s hatred has walked like a
dark shadow inseparable from her—this
incomprehensible hatred for the cause
and explanation of whioh my mental
capaoity fails me entirely. Tell me the
reason, my lady, why does Count Hip
polyt hate me ? ”
Pale and trembling, and with averted
face, the Countess stood before her irn
pl.orer :
“Never,” said she softly, “trust me 1
A wife’s honor is the respect of her bus
band. Bnt Hippolyt despises me even
more than he hates me, and yet I am
innooent of the offense with whioh he
charges me.”
The colpr died out in Waldens face,
and he replied quietly :
“I have never donbted that if there
were any faults between you and yonr
husband they would be found only on his
side; but for my own part, I must deep
ly lament that you have pot sufficient
oonfidenoe in yonr own innocence to tell
what has happened to a no an who, in
consequence, is compelled to renounce
his dearest, perhaps only happiness, and
must meet his fate not only powerless,
but also deaf and blind.”
“You know not what you desire,”
said the Countess wearily, and her face
was suffused by a dark flush only too
give way immediately to a death-like
pallor. “If you are as devoted to me as
formerly, promise never again to ask me
this question, for I can only answer yon
with silence.”
Walden bowed.
“Pardon me, most worthy cousin. 1
will give up straggling against the in
comprehensible spectre whieh your hus
band’s hatred of me is, and the painful
consciousness of having given no man
cause for contempt will in time become
less strong and more endurable. I
will in fntnre bear silently the aversion
of my aopsin when I meet it, and will
make onr conversation as formal as pos
sible.”
“I understand your bitter words,” an
swered the Conntess, and her pels lips
trembled; “you wish to say that m£hus
band's behavior and my silence degrade
you in yonr own esteem; bnt that on
Caroline’s account, yon are XffHly tp
make even this sacrifice. Is it not so ?”
Walden was silent and seemed to be
studying very attentively the pattern of
the carpet on which the Conntess stood;
without a quivering of her eyelids, look
ing ont on the lake glistening in the
golden light of the midday son’, an over
powering agitation seemed to take pos
session of her. Her breathing was nnr
rigd and her bosom heaved violently.
At last, with a bold determination, she
tamed to bi.
“ You shall know all/’ said she, in a
faltering voioe. “ You have just nailed
me mother, and as a son who baa been
with me for years, unrecognized, yon
shall from this time receive my confi
dences ; between mother and Bon noth
ing can be spoken which is capable of
misconstruction, is not that true ?” ,
In the trembling words of the Coun
tess, and in the look jrith which she
scanned her comin's face, there .was al
most the shy, modest timidity of a
maiden who speaks of her first love.
Bnt she met only a dear, honest eye,
and that kind, earnest candor whioh, even
more than his noble features, gave the
yonng offioer such great power over the
hearts of all good people who knew him.
The Conntess resumed her seat on the
sofa, and pointing her young friend to a
ohair near her, she began :
“When a boy, yon were epee at the
family residepoe of my parents, there
fore yon know Oarinthia, with its dark,
far-stretching lakes, its Monotonous
ranges of hills and ngly mountains, With i
its villages dotted over the villey, and.
its lonely castles rising from the low
summits of the hills,
“In the monotony of this country life
there was just romance enough to foster
a taste for it without being able to enjoy
it either in life or in nature. I was
about as old as Caroline when my father
determined to visit all the remarkable
places of our great Fatherland, for he
was an ardent patriot, and declared in
in his violent way that it was a disgrace
for a wealthy man to possess such a
beautiful and diversified country, and
to die witiou* learned all
about it. We intended' to go through
Trieste to Venice, Milan, Steiermarck
and Prague, and to return to-Carinthia
by way of Vienna, Hnngary, Gallacia
and Croatia. My mother, who, in
apu# pf nil ber objections, was
obliged af a/ father’s command to
explore o.ur beautiful ejnpifl*, gigbed in
anticipation of all the %MMlpB to
vhjph my father’s lively temperament
wonld expose us on the journey. But it
came out otherwise than as my mother
feared. We only reached Venice. There
the introductions of onr relatives opened
to ue the houses of several noble fami
lies, and the pleasant acquaintances
which we found an opportunity of form
ing delayed onr departure frem week to
week. To my youthful and unspoiled,
imagination (I had never until now seen
any large cities bnt Ley bach and Trieste,
net even Vienna) there was something
perfectly intoxicating in the straDge en
chantments of the “water city;” also the
aristocratic gentleness and charming
politeness of the race with whom I came
in contact, and the poetic pathos of the
people made me feel as if I were moving
in a more exalted sphere. In compari
son with these, how awkward and stiff
the conversational forms of our edu
cated men seemed to me ! How repul
sive and coarse the much renowned
cordiality of our peasants ! Venice was
to me the foremost among cities, and
her citizens were the aristocracy among
nations. Repeatedly I declared to my
parents that I oould Conceive of nothing
more glorious than to dream my life
away in the melancholy splendor of
these palaces. My mother, who threw
oft old habits and customs less easily,
would iold her hands and shake her head
forebodingly, but my father patted me
on my shoulder as prondly as if he bad
been the unknown founder of Venice ;
and said I wonld open my eyes still
wider when I should see the Cathedral
at Milan, the Tyrolean Alps, the Hrad
schio, and the Imperial city, but he did
not attempt to conceal the fact that of
all these wonders he was acquainted
only with the last.

[CorrespondenceChronicle and Constitutionalist .]
Lexington, Ga , April 2. —Soon after
the inauguration of Hayes a large num
ber of negroes held a ratification meet
ing in this place. Inflammatory and
highly improper speech ea were made,
the most objectionable among them being
that of their leader, Luke Johnson. He
is a young man, but has considerable in
fluence over the people of his race. Not
withstanding the character of the speech
es, the negroes were not in any way
disturbed or interfered with, but were
permitted to say what they pleased.
Ever sinoe that occasion the house in
which Johnson resided, iu the town of
Crawford, in this county, has been fre
quently, at night, the assembling place
of many armed negroes, and it has
been becoming more and more apparent
that something .unlawful was intended.
.This negro recently sent a communication
which he doubtless meant as a demand
for the post office, to Mr. Harris J. Pace,
the postmaster at Crawford, though it
was a rather obscure document. Mr.
Pace says he has received no informa
tion from the Post Office Department of
the appointment of Johnson, nor does
he believe he has been appointed, and a
numerously signed petition not to ap
point him was forwarded to the Post
master-General. Mr, Key’s Democracy
would find an exceedingly poor manifes
tation in giving this office to an incom
petent, vicious and dangerous negro,
who is at this time to every good citizen
of the community the most distasteful
person that could possibly be selected.
There is little doubt, however, that it
was Luke’s purpose to get possession of
the office, and matters have been ap
proaohing a culmination for several
days, till the night of the 30th of March.
About the hour of one o’clock that
night the Mr. Jasper Hopkins, the mar
shal of Crawford, finding that at least
twenty colored men, thoroughly armed
with guns and pistols, were at Luke’s
house, determined to ascertain what this
assemblage at this late hour meant. He
had reason for fearing that violence was
contemplated and wished to prevent its
occurrence. Accompanied by Mr. J. M.
Norton,Mr. Jno. Norton,Mr. Jno. Stoke
iy, Mr. R. H. Viokers and Mr. J. J. Dil
lard, whom he had summoned, he went
to the place of meeting. He was some
what in advance of the others and walk
ing right into the midst of the negroes
informed them calmly, but firmly, that
he was marshal; that their conduct was
improper; that they must disperse, and
that there must be peaoo and quiet iu
the town, or words to that effect. One
of the negroes cried, “Halt!” another,
“Fire |” and then a yell was raised, and
with shouts of “Shoot them, kill the
damned white men,” they fired a volley
upon the marshal and the men who
were with him.
Those of the white men who were
armed returned the fire, but it is not
known that any of the negroes were hit
From the number of shots fired it is
clear that all, or nearly all, of the ne
groes shot at the marshal and his com
panions. One witness testified that
there were forty or fifty shots in all.
Mr. Hopkins was shot in four places,
severely but not mortally. Two balls or
buck-shot struck his head—one on each
side just above the temple; one went
into his right hand, and another into
one of his arms. The wounds in the
head were made by balls that fortunate
ly glanced, and did rot enter the skull,
but Mr. Hopkins thought at first they
were made by the same ball, entering at
one place and ooming out at the other, and
they did present that appearance. He
acted with great ooolness and gallantry,
and fired several times with his left
hand after his right was disabled. Mr.
J. M. Norton waa shot in the leg and
arm with small shot, painfully, but not
dangerously, ©ther members of the
party were grazed or shot in the cloth
ing, but not injured. The wounded
men were removed and cared for, the
town aroused, and messengers were sent
to Lexington for assistance. Our citi
zens were awakened about 2 o’clock, and
many pf tffefa propeeffed at once to
Crawford, and on reaehmg there found
the negroes had all dispersed and taken
to flight. Soßie of the gentlemen who
acoompanied the marshal, ip answer to
a question by the writer, why they
should have gone in such a small num
ber, and with so few of them armed to
such a large orowd of armed negroes, re
plied that they did not expect so sudden
and unprovoked an attack on them as
the negroes made. On Saturday morn
ing several arrests were made, and
a court of inquiry held at Crewford by
R. A. McMahan, N. P. and ex officio J. P.
Col. J. D. Mathews and the undersign
ed appeared for the State, and Messrs.
W. G. Johnson and J. T. Olive for the
prisoners. It is proper to state that
these gentlemen acted nnder appoint
ment by the Court and at the urgent re
quest of Col. Mathews and myself. It
was desiyed by alt to B' ve the negroes a
fair and impartial befring, n<f it was
accordingly right and PF°pP?tbpy should
have counsel. Five were committed to
jail for assanlt with intent to murder
and one discharged. The principal wit
ness to the identity of the defendants
was Hattie Bell, a woman of their own
oolor. Sinoe then much additional
evidence has been disclosed from a
source which should not, at present, be
made public. It is sufficient to say that
it confirms tfle guift of the parties al
ready committed and 'implicates seyeral
others, ft also develops the fact
that sines the inauguration of
Hayes a secret society of negroes, which
has been in existence for about two years,
has had in contemplation acts of incin
diarism and other crimes. The leader
of tbis sooiety and of the recent riot,
Luke Johnson, is still at large. He is a
medium sized, young looking, very
sleek faced, very black negro, with a few
struggling hairs on his chin. For the
last two days the air has been filled with
rumors of all kinds. The jail has been
diligently guarded and our people are
on the alert. The leading ficts have
been stated, bqt t|iere are many other
facta and circumstance? yhjph go to
ahow that tbis community bas been in
serious danger for some time. Our citi
zens-are determined to take this matter
in hand and break up this unlawful con
spiracy at once aDd effectually. There
is not the slightest particle of excn=e for
the conduct of the negroes. Universal
peace and good order was prevailing;
nobody was disturbing or interfering
with them in any way. On the contrary,
much patience and forbearance (perhaps
too much) has been shown towards them,
and they ffaye pprtaiplF been accorded
every right and privilege to which tfcey
were entitled. Bam l Lumpkin.

into Court a certain so-called . doctor
who had been engaged in reducing the

went to Dnmaine, a well known actor

severe poundings at this functionary's
hands, for which she expected to pay
him by the hoar, but tor wlifsb tfie

sum, thinking that she would not dare
to bring the matter into Court. Bat

THE INSIDE HISTORY.
THE GUARANTEE GIYFN BY THE
FRIENDS OF HAYES.
The Electoral Coaat—Haaao Rale Negotia
tions—The Meeting at Woratler’*—History
of the Caafereaee—Speeches of the Politi
cal Diplomats—An Interesting Sketch.
Wasaington, March 30. —As a farther
contribution to the history of the nego
tiations between certain of the Southern
leaders and the particular friends of
President Hayes pending the electoral
count, the following memoranda will be
found of great interest. 1 It relates sub
stantially what took place at the confer
ence at Wormley’s on the night of the
29th of February, to which allusion has
already been made in these dispatches.
Its accuracy can be vonohed for, as it
was written down by one of the gentle
men present immediately after the con
clusion of the conference. The meeting
at Wormley’s was prearranged, and was
held in the rooms of Hon. Stanley Mat
thews. Those who were present on the
occasion were Mr. Matthews, Senator
John Sherman, Gen. Garfield, Repre
sentative Foster, ex-Governor Dennison,
and Chief Justice Cartter, of the Dis
trict Supreme Court, all personal friends
of ’President Hayes, all from his own
State of Ohio, and all believed to be
authorized to speak for him. There
were also present Representative Ellis,
of Louisiana; Col Burke, of that State,
who was then in Washington as the ac
credited envoy of Gov. Nicholls, and
Henry Watterson, of Kentucky.
As usual on all such occasions there
was an exchange of the ordinary civili
ties among the gentlemen when they
first name together, quickly followed,
however, by allusions to the subject
which had brought them together and
which were paramount in the minds of
all. Representative Ellis, of Louisiana,
was the first to begin the formal confer
ences. He said that he would state
what the views, wishes and attitude of
the Southern members were as to the
electoral oonnt and how their future ac
tion wonld be dependent on circum
stances. He said thoy wanted peace,
home rale and honest govern ment. They
did not waDt to be longer held in sub
jection by Federal bayonets. He said
what he and those with whom he acted
feared, was that if Governor Hayes' was
inaugurated he would use the troops to
sustain Packard and Chamberlain, and
the Southern members who were at that
time taking part in the filibustering to
defeat the electoral count was influenc
ed by this fear.
Stanley Matthews was the next speak
er. He first spoke at considerable
leDgth on the general features of South
ern politics, and then comiDg to the
point he mentioned what every one
present knew, that he was the intimate
personal and political friend of Gover
nor Hayes; that he was thoroughly ac
quainted with his views upon the South
ern questions; that Gov. Hayes be
lieved the time had gone by when States
should be ruled by bayonets: aDd that
if he was inaugurated President his
policy undoubtedly would be to give to
those States stable and peaceful gov
ernments of their own choice, under
which the rights of all citizens wonld
be protected. He said that Gov. Hayes
was also desirous of abolishing the
oolor line in politios, and that he was
satisfied that there wonld be no perma
nent or lasting peace in those States
while they were governed by men not
representatives of the people.
When Judge Matthews finished his
remarks, Mr. Foster drew from his
pocket and read the letter whioh he had
received from Gov. Hayes after his
speech in the House, in which the senti
ments of that speech were so warmly
approved.
Mr. Ellis then remarked that the views
to which Judge Matthews had given ut
terance were most gratifying to him and
his friends. He said, however, that a
practical difficulty suggested itself,
which was this: The same men who had
voted for Nioholls had voted for Tilden;
the same Returning Board that assumed
to give the eleotion to Hayes had also
declared Packard elected, and foi this
reason they were at a loss to see how
Gov. Hayes oould consistently ignore
Packard’s claim and sustain Nicholls.
To this Judge Matthews replied that he
did not assume to speak for Gov. Hayes,
or to say that such would be his action,
but the difficulty suggested would be
overcome best in thi9 way: First, to ob
tain from Nicholls guarantees and as
surances, which he could easily give,
that there will be no bloodshed, no vio
lence, no persecution of any one on ac
count of political offenses, and that lib
erty, life and property would be guaran
teed to all, irrespective of party or race,
that then he would withdraw the troops
from the State. Your people then would
sustain and support Nicholls by paying
taxes to his government, and by yield
ing it allegiance and support his govern
ment in this way would become strong
and perfectly established. Mr. Packard
oould collect no taxes, his authority
would be disregarded and his govern
ment would die or disperse for pure lack
of means to support it. Then, if the
occasion required that the President
should recognize a government in Lousi
ana, he would find only the Nioholls
government perfectly established aud
giving peace and satisfaction to the
whole people, and withont inquiring
into the legality of its original title
would accept the facts and recognize it
as the legitimate government of the
State.
Mr. Ellis then said : This action would
be perfectly satisfactory to us. We ask
no recognition. We only ask that the
troops be withdrawn. We can promise,
and can safely keep tflat promise, that
the peace will be preserved; that the
laws will be administered equally and
impartially for all W e have bad to
suffer many wrongs at the ffaeffs of these
people, who have been ruling and rob
bing us for years, but we do not desire
to prosecute or harm them, but only de
sire that they shall cease to be dishonest
and become good oitigens. Judge Mat
thews replied that with the guarantees
proposed by Mr. EUis the plan which he
had indicated waa the easiest and the
best, and that while he did not under
take to commit Governor Hayes to aDy
promises he made, yet he had good rea
son to believe that such would be his
policy. Ex-Governor Dennison here
said that he warmly approved of every
word uttered by Judge Matthews, and
he indorsed all that Judge Matthews
had said as to the probable Course of
Governor Hayes.
Mr. poster then egprpsseff himself
without reservation ?s jp favor of the
withdrawal of the troops and the let
alone policy. He also expressed his be
lief, although not speaking directly for
Governor Hayes, that his course would
be as indicated by Mr. Matthews.
Gen. Garfield spoke next and aston
ished all those who were in the room by
the enthusiastic manner in which he
spoke. He also endorsed what Mr.
.Matthews had said and then remarked :
“If Governor Bayes becomes President
you men of the South within six months
will bless the day upon whieh he was
inaugurated, for I know he feels very
kindly towards you, as we all do.” Hen
ry Watterson said the plan proposed by
by Judge Matthews was all that could
be asked by the people of South Caro
lina and Louisiana. He assured Ellis
and Burke that if any men knew Gov
ernor Hayes anfl could speak for him
the distinguished gentlemen present are
the vtry men. Senator Sherman had up
to this time listened very attentively,
but had not volunteered a remark. Mr.
Ellis turned to him and said : Senator
ShermaD, you are well known to be very
close to goveynpy gayes. ft j? said you
will be iu hia Cabinet, i must be frank
with you and say that onr people have
considered you their bete noir, and I de
sire to hear from yon upon this ques
tion. [ This was all said in good humor,
the speaker and the Senator both laugh
ing at the allusion;]
Senator Sherman got np from his
seat, walked over to the fire-place, and
turning with his face to the whole com
pany, said thftt he had listened with
great care to she statements, declara
tions and'line of polioyas set forth by
Judge Matthews, and he wonld say that
he approved and endorsed what had
been said. Then Mr. Ellis said :We of
the South could certainly ask nothing
for the people of Carolina and Louisi
ana beyond the guarantees yon have
given ns at this interview, and that for
my part, feeling there is no longer a
shadow of hope for Tilden, that it wonld
be unwise and impolitic for us to attempt
gny farther to impede or defeat the con
summation of the jffteCtbfhl' poufl't, and
(hat I will use all the influence I haye,
and vote against every dilatory proposi
tion from this time forth- l win notify
my oolleagues and other friends of the
resnlte of this interview. I will tell
those gentlemen of the House who are
filibustering to defeat Hayes through
dread of his policy towards the South
that it is best for us to consummate the
count.

and there was mueh cariosity on the

HAYES AND THE SOUTH
What a Private CUizen Thinks of Holding
Office Under the Administration.
Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist:
I have been much interested in the
opinions of the gentlemen who have re
sponded to yonr letter in regard to the
propriety of Southern Democrats ac
cepting office under Mr. Hayes, Ac. It
is well that the subject should be fully
discussed, and I think your readers will
appreciate yonr efforts to lay before
them the sentimentß of these distin
guished men.
Every republican community should
yield respectful deference to the views
of those whose abilities have elevated
them above their fellow-citizens. But
it is at least a question which admits of
debate whether the honest instincts of
the masses do not oftener reach a right
decision in issues involving moral prin
ciple than the more practical judgments
of public men.
Whether Southern Democrats should
accept office from Mr. Hayes is evidently
a moral as well as a political question,
and, to arrive at a true solution of it,
should be viewed in both aspects. Now,
in the discussion of the purely political
bearings of the question, or the conrse
which, as a mere present policy, should
be adopted as to the acceptance or re
jection of patronage from the Adminis
tration, it cannot be . denied that the
opinions of experienced politicians are
entitled to great weight. But when we
come to view the case in the light of
principle it is quite probable that the
private citizen, who has never held and
has no aspirations for office, will arrive
at as true and unselfish a conclusion as
the ablest politician in the land.
I would not be understood as imply
ing that either of the gentlemen whose
.letters you have published are biased
in their judgments by the hope or ex
pectation of office from any source.
But it may be assumed as a general
principle that the farther removed one
is from the allurements of offioe the
clearer will be his perception of right
and wrong in politics.
In several of the letters you have
published the distinguished writers
have expressed the opinion, in effect,
that there would be no impropriety in a
Southern Democrat accepting office
from Mr. Hayes, if he could do so
-without compromising himself. I sup
pose no one would object to this proposi
tion if the condition could be fulfilled.
But could it be done? With all respect
for the opinions of those who think dif
ferently, I do not believe it possible.
My conviction is that the man who
holds an office of emolument at the
hands of an administration will ulti
mately become, if not its open and
avowed supporter, at least its apologist;
and this notwithstanding he may be not
only honestly opposed to the policy of
the Administration when he accepts the
office, but also, at the time, determined
never to be influenced by its patronage.
We all know that human nature in its
best illustrations is weak; and that con
victions, however strong, will seldom
resist the subtle fascinations of bread
and butter, or the scarcely less insidious
influences of power.
But is there danger of the South’s be
ing divided by the distribution of the
Government patronage among us ? This
is, perhaps, a purely political question,
and the opinions of the gentlemen whose
views you have elicited are deserving of
far more consideration than mine. But
I hope I may, without presumption, of
fer a word upon this subject. I have an
abiding faith in the virtue and integrity
of the Southern people. I believe they
are as near proof against corrupting in
fluences as any people the sun ever
shone upon. But then I can’t help re
flecting that they are, after all, but hu
man. They have resisted many a luring
bribe, in all the long night of their pov
erty, but let them now heed the prayer,
“ Lead us not into temptation.” The
South occupies a strong vantage ground,
which she has won by years of patient
endurance and fortitude. Can she af
ford to risk losing it for the sake of the
brief tenure of a few paltry offices ?
She stands upon a plane of high moral
principle, commanding the respect of
her enemies. But can she maintain even
her own self-respect if she descends
from that plane to accept patronage from
a man whose possession of that patron
age is due alone to the most unblushing
fraud ? To my mind there is but one
answer to the question.

count of this barbarous and offensive disease,
called OZ(ENA. which has now assumed a
Tertiary form of Cancer, destroying everything
but the outside skin, letting the noße sink in,
extending to the throat, destroying the voice,
etc., when the disease is ca'led Laryngitis,
Traohetis, Bronchitis, etc.
SYMPTOMS OF THE THROAT.
A collection of tenacious, slimy secretion
falling down into the throat, and thrown out
tickling, rasping, hoarsenesss and scraping to
keep open the windpipe; difficult breathing,
oppression and soreness under the breast
bone; tenderness in the left side, rheumatic
pains between the shoulders; stiff neck on
taking cold; palpitation of the heart; torpid
liver, sometimes yellow complexion; general
dull heavy feo ing ; extreme shortness of
breath; soreness of stomach-pit; bloated sensa
tions; belching of wind; yawning, gaping, keep
ing mouth open to breathe; distress, sleepless
nights; worse when lying down; and now it
terminates either in Consumption of the
Lungs, or follows] the museras membrane
through the whole alimentary and urinal ca
nal. erasing Dyspepsia, Custivoness, Piles,
Inflammation ot the Bladder, trouble in the
Urinary Organs (and in women, nearly the
whole train of female diseases') and general
Consumption, emaciation, complete prostra
tion. etc., with all of which, and many other
symptoms called by twenty different names,
t:ie sufferer may exist for awhile. Dr. Con
uaughton cares this dangerous aud insidi 'Us
disease by the Asrian System—Ußing specific
medicines known only to himself, applied to
tbe diseased surface in the form of spray. He
relieves the sufferer in a few minutes, aud sup
plies the patient with all that is Required to
finish the cure at home.
OZ(ENA,
AN OFFENSIVE DISEASE OF THE NOSE.
Which eats away the partition bone, de
stroys the sense of smell, produces green or
yellowish scabs.the shape of tbelnotrils—some
times flat, often tinted with blood and matter;
causing weight and dull aching over the eyes,
headache, loss of memory, giddiness, etc
This disease is often caused by neglected
colds, by suppressed skin diseases, Scrofula.
Scarlet Fever, Psoriasis, Syphilis, and other
contagious diseases, and is itself contagious.
It often extends to the throat, producing
Hoarseness, Bronchitis and Consumption. It
is a Tertiary form of Cancer, destroying the
Nobo and Throat when too long neg ected.
Dr. Connaughton is the ONLY Physician
in the United States who thoroughly under
stands curing this dangerous and offensive
disease. He destroys the offensive smell in
five minutes, and relieves the sufferer in
every way as once, and cures, the disease in
a short time. For th s disease Dr. Con
naughton has special instruments with
which to apply his specific remedies to the
spot. Nasal Douches and Catarrh remedies
generally drive the disease to the lungs more
quickly.
Symptom!* of Catarrh,
PREVALENT IN EUROPE AND AMERICA.
1. Of the Head.—Tingling, itching, with a
sense of dryness and obstruction of the nose,
sneezing, running of a watery secretion; as it
progresses, the secretion becomes mucons,
entire obstruction of one or both nostrils,
hawking, tickling of the throat, coughing, etc
2. Catarrh of the Chest prevails as an epi
demic sometimes, and is called influenza ; with
or without fever, and many of the symptoms
just mentioned; there is oppression across the
breast, rawness and buining of the throat,
first dry. afterward a copious secretion of mu
cous, which may become opaque or frothy,
difficulty of breathing, pain in the head, and
dull feelings, a sense of soreness, extending
under the breast-bone to the stomach-pit; the
fits of coughing may occasion vomiting, op
pression, ppostpaliop; as the disease pro
gresses. tfi@ sputa heoomss ropy an-1 viscid.
This disease is called the Grippe by some.
Catarrhal Inflammation of the Eyes arises
from oolds, causes obstruction of the ear
passages, watery eyes, fistula, lacbrymalis,
dimness of vision, etc.
hUPPRI SBED CATABRH may produce in
flammation of the lungs, brain or eyes, or give
rise to rheumatism, nervous disorders, weep
ing, moaning, tremors and convulsions,
drowsiness, chilliness, starting, twitching,
palpitation of the heart, etg. When the
frontal Sinuses above tfie eyes, posterior and
anterior nasal passages, become clogged np.
and even the antrum or cavity of the cheek
bone becomes filled, or p. roly, it often pro
duces a pressure of the nerves that supply
these parts, and pains like the most excru
tiating neuralgia is the result. The disease
follows the mucous membrane thr ugh the
enstacian tube to all parts of the same mem
brane of the ear, oansiug hyiertrophy of the
Grain, interferes with the of the
glands of Wharton, which secret? tfio wa*; a
dryness follows, barflaqa? uf hearing, buz
zing, singing, wfiiailing, cracking, the ringing
of HfiUs. anil similar noises which vary, and
which are simple effects, and when the cause
is removed the effects cease; this hardness of
hearing increases with each additional cold.
Dr. Counaughton has made old-standing
diseases ol every name a specialty all of his
life. He is well prepared, and pqjfovms all
the more difficult and delicate operations in
surgery, especially Of the eye, ear and nose.
Ro fs a graduate of the best medical colleges
in Europe and Amerioa, and his diplomas
proving the same are suspended in bis office.
