If I had known, O gentle heart.
When hand to baud, we sai l farewell,
II ) v for all time our paths would part,
What shadow o’er our fries and hip f- it,
I should have clasped your hand so close
Hy ti e warn: pn-.-uie of my own,
Ti.at nn tuory -1 i!i would keep its grasp,
If I had known.
if I had known when, far and wide,
We loitered through the summer laud,
What presence wandered hy our side,
And o’er yo .stretched Hs awful hand,
I- b'vft.d have bushed my cart-less speech,
To listen, close, to every tone
T at from your ips fell low mid sweet,
ii I im-.l known.
If i had known when your kind eyes
Met mine in parting, true and sad
Eyes gravely lend-, r, g .. • wise,
And earnest, rather, more than glad—
How soon the :ii ii would lie above,
As cold and unite a- r< ulplured stone,
I should have t a.sun-d every glance,
Ii 1 had kim vn.
If Ih id known how, from the s!ri;e
Of f.-ars, l;o| ei, passions, here below,
,Unto a purer, higher life
You'd scon be called dear one, logo,
1 shou ;l have iingered by thy side. _
And hnshed each careless, laughing tone,
To bid you a ho t, long Go [-speed,
If I had known.
If I had known to what strange place,
What mystic, distant, silent shore.
Would soon be turned that lightsome lace,
After my 10-. ! steps left your door,
I should have forged a golden link
To bind the lie-art so constant, grown,
And keep it constant ever there,
If I had known.
If I had known that, until death
Shail with liis linger touch my brow,
And still the quickening ot the breath
That s'irs wi.li life's lull meaning now,
Eo long my leet must tread the way
Of our accustomed paths alone,
I should have prized your presence more,
If I had known.
If I had known bow soon for you
Drew near the ending ot the flight,
And on your vision, fair and new,
Eternal peace dawned into sight.
I sh :uld Lave begged, as life’s las 1 gift,
That you before God’s great white throne
Would pray for one left here oe earth,
If I had known.
NORTH CAROLINA.
The Xiip to tlie Old State and how it was
Made.
Dear Express:—After an absence
of ten years from the “old North
State,” your correspondent conclud
ed .to pay his aged parents and
friends residing here a flying’ visit.
Accordingly on the morning of the
2AI ult., with my daughter and little
son, I boarded the ears at Kingston,
and in due time arrived in the “Gate
City,” where we had to await about
six hours the departure of the train
on the Atlanta and |Richmond rail
road. We spent the time very pleas
antly, considering the inclemency of
the weather, and about dusic got
aboard of the train for Charlotte,
North Carolina, at which place we
arrived at about five o’clock a. m.,
thus bd tg tk-prived'of viewing the
beautiful country and flourishing
towns through which I am informed
this nod passes. Judging from the
rapid, y and smopihness of Urn train
l would pronounce it a good road,
and at least the train upon which I
em.aarked was served by gentleman
ly cor-duetors and baggage masters,
notwithstanding I have somewhat to
complain of, and.at the risk ot being
considered egotistical, and per naps
pronounced a proiessi*>u;4 gfutnbler,
wfl! here eater a protest against the
discrimination of the superintendent
in regard to the sale of tickets on tno
Air Lino, formerly they sold thous
and rade tickets at reduced ratio,
and any one could purchase, and his
huiiiiy were privileged to ride on
the same until it was rode out. On
this occasion I applied to Mr. Porter,
the ticket agent, lor one ot those
tickets, and iie informed me that
they had discontinued the sale oi
that class of tickets, but advised me
to call oil Mr. Peck, •*{}?? superinten
dent, and if he would give irjp a
?pecitil lor b ticket of tu6
above mentioned class iie would be
•housed to isisue it. i called upon Mr.
I>. and stated mv business, whereupon
he poiiteiy informed me that they
no longer sold thousand mile tickets
to anyone but mercantile find busi
ne s men of Atlanta, and that ,ne
man alone in whose name tlie ticket
lias been issueti could make use oi it.
He gave as an excufco for abolishing
the old system and am.pmg toe
present one, that parties had specu
lated on t ties r tickets, tint her thin,
I think, and not calculated to pro
mote ihe interest of the Air Line.
The discrimination is denounced by
ail who are cognizant of the tacts.
We met the connection with the
North Carolina division ot the Air
Line at Charlotte, where passengers
and baggage were transferred at tbe
junction without delay, and a run
of two hours brought us to IJjis point
—the home of my boyhood days —the
place.dearest of ail earthly places
Here we greeted many old and fa
miliar faces, upon which lime hay
plowed many furrows. Here we un
expectedly met a brother, with his
little family whom we had not seen
in eighteen years —then a Dear dless
boy—now a stately and stalwart man
—so changed that we did not recog
nize him.
We arrived here on the morning
of the 23d ult., being one day and
night on the way, with a stop ot six
hours in Atlanta. On the night alter
our arrival uul tbe succeeding day
it snowed, covering the earth to the
depth of fourteen inches, and since
that time snow has fallen uiorp or
less nearly every day, and this, new
year’s morning, it is coming down
furiously, d'eigh riding is the order
of the day, and we plight say night
too with the young folks, for rigid
merrily do the sleigh bell tinkle
upon Uk cold clear niglu air, these
beaut is ui moonlight nights, as they
swiftly gdde owr the frozen snow.
This is thetl-y set apart for the in
auguration of Zeb. Vance, elected
Governor of North Carolina. lam
informed that great preparation has
Leen made for the occasston, and
that tiie biggest thing that ever hap
pened in Baieigh was to be done up
there to-itay, but 1 fear the snow
I storm now prevailing wiil mar, if it
does cot completely thwart the an
ticipated pjersui' 1 of the day, Special
trains nd half raws of fair have been
pr vided on all the railroads in the
State for visitors. The Democracy
of North Carolina have done nobly,
and achieved a great victory in tiie
; recent election. It elected, I believe,
its entire picket for,Si ate oiiicers and
has a majority of thirty in the senate
and forty hi Uie House of Represen
tatives.
We have enjoyed a merry Christ
mas with our oid friends and kindred

GOV. BROWN'S REPLY.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. GO, IS7G.
Gentlemen—l have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt 1 f y .-ur com
munication, asking my views upon
the present political s*tuatM:i. in
reply I have to state that I to not
entertain the shad - .v of ad uibi inn'-.-
'Hlden and Hendri l:s were legally
and fairly elected President and Ylu-
President ■ f the. Lfliited tSt.iat- • h -
election held on the 7th of November
last.
An effort has been mad;: by the
Radicals by a false and fraudulent
canvass of the votes in South Caroli
na, Florida and Louisiana to count
in ilitvtv and Who ter, and ihu gt t
ti.o advantage of the Governor’.-.-, cer
tificate and the seal of the State to
enough votes to make a majority for
their candidates, In this way they
expected to get the benefit ot a prana
fade case, and they intended to throw
obstacles in the way of any rebuttal
to their prima facie right to the in
auguration of their candidates,
The result in Oregon has changed
even this, and given to the Dens
cratic candidates, who are in tact
fairly elected, the advantage of the
prima facie case. This has no doubt
very much frustrated the plans ot tn.
Radicals, and caused them no iiUb‘
trouble. But there have been indi
cations of a purpose on their part to
have the President of the Senate, in
violation of all usage and of every
known rule, to assume the jurisdic
tion to himself to make the count
and declare the result in the presence
of the two houses of Congress, when
the constitution only authorizes him,
as the presiding officer ot the Senate,
to open the returns in the presence of
Hie two houses. It docs not say that
they s: all be counted by him, ami 1
believe the usage for three-quarters
of a century lie - been to count them
by tellers appointed by the respective'
houses. In other words, the two
h rinses of Congress have jurisdiction
to count the vote and dc uuv JU.e re
sult, and neither the p:\-sid.LgofiDer
i,j- .. ... Venule nor ILoe , ■, nor the two
combined, has any such power.
I know that serious fears are enter
tained that the lending epirits of the
Radical party at W. • mgton have
Ueli-ru'iiUco to so eon> thi* canv;i 0
oi the votes as wrongiully to decffire
Hayes add Wheeler el etrd, and then
inaugurate Gov. ilayts by mihlary
force. This cannot bo dom-j as atl
intelligent citizens know-, without,
reckless disregard of the constitution
and hr.,-a of the United States, and a
revolution and change of our system
of government, Whenever a candi
date who has received a minority of
the votes cast at aa election, and v> bo
lias been counted in by die most
shameless and u-iblusliing fraud and
unfairness, fcliu 1 nave been inaugu
rated a President of the United
States and invented with ail the pow
ers of that position by military force,
our government ceases .to be a repub
lic, and we become the subjects or
military despotism.
I ani aware it has been said, in suen
an event there should be no resistance
on'ered either by the people or the
legally elected uaiqjidaleit, but that
we should submit to the ia; Huge -did
vote the parly perpetrating it out of
power at the next eiecti >n. in otnei
words, we should (Uscegard tiie purity
of the ballot-box and abide 1 he mili
tary usurpation. But ii such usurpa
tion ,should be successful and should
be acquiesced in, what reasonable
hope can any intelligent person have
of a better result at a subsequent elec
tion ? Having succeeded by the use
of such means', the party in power
would strengthen its military force,
and, if necessary, renew the fraud*
and duplicate them again and again,
at the subseqent election, and sustain
their own announcement of the re
sult by the use of the military.
Should the people of the Uuited States
submit patiently and peaceably to
military usurpation cn the present
occasion, it is mere mockery to talk
of the peaceful remedy of the ballot
box in the future. History shows
that power once usurped by military
force is never surrendered but at the
point of the bayonet.
But you may ask me what should
be done in such an emergency. My
reply is, everything possible should
be clone peaceably to avert the ca
lamity. And I have no doubt by the
proper means it can be done.
It is a fact, which cannot, I sup
pose. be denied, that in the Northern
States the Republican party is pos
sessed of the larger portion of the
wealth of that section. Tne largest
bankers, brokers, bondholders, man
ufacturers, etc., are generally itepub
lieans, and they have a heavy pecu
niary interest at stake in maintaining
the peace and proemet jty o' the coun
try. On the other hand there may
be an association of politicians be
longing to that parly at Washington
who would preler civil war to a sur
render of power.
If' the Democratic party should
quietly hack down, and permit itselt
to be bud ied j and its candidates Vv ho
were legally elected to be set aside,
Hud the candidates defeated by them
to be inaugurated by military power,
the large eta .-a of wealthy pens >ns
above-mentioned, while they might
disapprove ihe act, would not trouble
themselves to make any decided
demonstration of their disapproval.
They would leave their leaders to
iindulge the government, while they
-ace attention to their own private
interests. But if the Democracy
stand ttrraiy by their lights in every
section of the Union, and let L be
distinctly known that they intend to
maintain them, the intelligent and
wealthy class of Republicans North,
to say nothing of ail* other persons
joying peace and good order, would
doubtless unite in compelling their
headers to respect the popular will,
uud would refuse to sustain them in
j revolution and military usurpation,
j I cannot entertain a doubt that a
very large majorky of the intelligent
j people of the North of both partita,
| who hayejcgd the
juirf. rent j-ulo.-ns In refer me to
I .be c-wrivu of the votes n FUrida
and Louisiana, believe in their ft arts,
that the Republican canvassing
boards l.ave decid' and most or.jastly.
and perpetrated a gross fraud and
outrage upon the country. I feel on*
tirely satisfied that- the developments
which have already btvn made in
Florida, and which will be inado be**
fore the time for the inauguration of
the Pre-id- nt, will be such as to
cause oil fair-mind .-i men to admit
that the Slate gave an honest majori
ty for Tii-d. *ll and Hendricks. With
these convictions resting upon the
minds of the intelligent people of
the North of both parties, they will
not sustain the action of a few ambi
tious and selfish loaders at Washing
ton, ii they attempt to set aside the
popular Vv rdiotaqjl usurp thegoveru
m -ut by military force. If, in the
opinion of tie people, it been a s
necessary to avert such a calamity as
civil war or de-ally strife, they will
make such demonstrations of disap
pr ibaiion as will co ivince their rep-
in Congress that such a
course cannot command their ap
i-.'V’ r d tfnd support.
hi iudjuiar .. .tAnn.-foi’C, IS that the
D • utk-evy of th< Nor Ih, conscious
as tliey are that t : ir candidates tri
umphed in the late election .and were
fairly and honestly elected, should
stand iirndy hy them and see that
they are inaugurated and placed in
tit'- lull possession of all the authority
and rights resulting from such eke
lion- Th re slmuld be no hesitation,
no flinching a; and t o backing clown on
ih'-hv part. Ft the Northern ‘Demo
crats l-tko tin- course earnestly and
reaoiiilely, and the Democrats of the
Mouth will stand by them, and there
will be no bloodshed, no war, 11.0
usurpation and no military revolu
tion But the will of the people as
expressed at the ballot-box will be
carded out, and peace and prosperity
Win be restored. The very fact that
tie. country is dmormined not to sub
m: to military usurpation, if the de
termination is fully understood and
iv dz and, will avert the usurpation.
Xu that event, President Tilden,
win is an able lawyer and statesman,
an;’ who was brought up in the old
school of the great statesmen who
founded, and for many years admin
istered the government, wiii natu
rally, during bis administration, do
all m liis power to bring it back into
th,: old channels. He will make the
mifite.ry. la tl no of peace, subordi
nate to the civil authority, and he*'
will restore local self-government to
those States whore the right lias been
taken from th m by fraud and mili
tary usurpation, and by tfie end of
his four years term we shall have re
fur M*d to the old landmarks of the
fathers. There will then be no more
use of tha army of the United States
to control elections or to aid in se
curing a frau udent count of the votes
caw. " And we will no more see thu
mb.tary used to prevent the assem
blage of the legally elected Legisla
ture of a State.
1 .wry person acquainted with pop
ui.o opinion in the Southern .State’s
must admit 1 i ff there is a unanimity
of sentiment upon this issue which is
• v - -t: -r ; • .li-ei. Few
candid persons deny that the grossest
frauds have been perpetrated in
South Carolina, Florida and Loui
siana, by the Radicals, to secure the
votes of those States for their candi
date:, la defiance of the popular will
a- legally and peaceably expressed at
the bai!;ff-box.
We s boiievo TUtleu and Hendricks
are fairly elected, mul that the people
of the United States sh; old see to it.
that tliey are inaugurated. We are
satisfied our Democratic brethren in
the Northern States concur with us
in tins opinion, arid that they are
ready to vindicate the right. What
thm should be our course in this
crisis, when the fa lure existence of
republican government hangs in the
balance 4 / Ardently desiring a peace
ful solution of the difficulty, we
should do no rash act. Wo should
be quiet, dignified and cautious, but
should be firm and true. We should
sacrifice upon the akar of patriotism
all personal interest and ambition
which conflict with duty. And we
should have but a single reply to all
inquiries after our p Htion Which
reply, expressive of our firm resolve,
should be this: “We have confidence
in tlih Northern Democracy. We
leave the mto decide tiffs lisue. And
we will, during the emergency, stand
by them with immovable firmness,
he the consequences what they may."
This reply assumes no leaders;:ip.
It puts the South in her proper posi
tion. It fully accords with popular
sentiment, .it wiii not be misunder
stood, and it will require no explana
tion. ' Very respectfully, your foflow
citizon. ’ Joseph K. Brown.

The Queen of' tux Lbt;nY.-~A
recent Washington letter says': “The .
queen of the lobby is generally of
two types. The first is a superb
specimen of beauty, the latter of
brains. The beauty-of the lobby is but
rarely seen, kfhe lives quietly, but in
perfect taste, at the very best hotel.
She is either a bright blonde, with
abundance of tawny hair, lithe in
form and shapely of limb, with the
clearest and most perfect complex
ion; oreffe site is of that soft, smooth
skinned type which belongs fo the
semi- tropical woman of strong, jet
black hair, and complexion like a
magnolia, of rich, dead white with a
cre miy softness, and eyes jet-black
sometimes and s.t others the softest
hazel-brown eyes, languid and indo
lent iu there lusture, until something
rouses them, and then they gleam
like those a fo startled leopard. One
might look and admire, but I should
prefer to take my chances safely in
the embrace of India’s fiercest tiger
lather than in the willowy arms of
one of these beauties.”
The Florida muddle prows worse

A family in this vUllage had laid
away a bag of dried corn for winter.
The bag containing it was hung by a
stout string from a nail driven in the
beam of an outhouse, so as to be out
of the reach of rats. The sly rodents,
however, managed to secure it. The
bag was drawn up by the string and
laid snugly away on the beam, and
the very last grain of corn was ab
straeed through a hole in the bottom
of the sack.
