had ordained it to happen to her also,
Rika would have been as glad and
proud a maiden as ever the sun had
abone on. Rut she would listen to no
wor Is of lyve from one whose huii and
was as good as given to another.
Thus she thought as she walked
alowly homeward.
So the next day a little barefooted
by— the chill ofa neighboring farmer
was sent to the palace by Rila with
Driace Eric’s gift, carefully tied up in
a piece of linen cloth, cut from the
corner of a web, which she herself had
woven from flux raised from the seed,
and prepared by her own deft hands.
Could the unconscious trinket have
told Eric that Rika's bright eyes had
lingered lovingly nnd regretfully upon
it, and that she had pressed it to her
red lips again and again, it might have
lessened his chagrin in receiving his
present back again.
As it was, it aoly kindled anew bis
determination to win Rika for bis own,
be the consequences what they might.
It should not be said of him that a
lowly peasant girl had given him, the
Crown Prince of Sweden, such a rebuff.
He threw a large cloak over h ; s
Tich con t snit; and thus disguised,*he
mounted Olnf, his favorite hunter, acd
hastened toward* Rika’s homo.
Hot anger was contending with his
love for the rustic beauty as be rode
ion.
Hut when he at last reached the
borders of the cleared patch of land iu
the forest which held the little cottage,
had di=tnnnnted Ironi his hor.-e and
tied him to a sappling. and found him
self standing at the door, nwai in" his
answer to It in rap, all was forgotten hut.
the thought that he was soon to gaze
■upon rhe beautiful face which had
haunted his fancy so persistently since
fate had firit brought it before him.
Rika opened the door and stood for
an instant in glad surprise, gazing up
into her lover’s face in utter forgetful
ness ef the difference in their stations.
“Ah ! i tie one, thy face for once
tells me all that I wish to know. Thou
Invest me ! T sec it in those eyes.”
And before Rika had time to re
•treat ho caught her to his heart and
imprinted passionate kisses upon her
trembling lips.
She drew her-elf from his encircling
arms, and stood panting like a fright
•ened fawn.
Then she threw herself at his feet,
and, clasping her hands untroatiagly,
whe said .•
“Oh, most noble prince, let it not be
-put against thy record that innocence
and virtue received no respect at thv
hands! Go, I entreat you! Should
my father return and find thee here, he
would surely first kill uie, and then
Vtll hitnsclf, in shame and despair !
Go, go !”
“I mean thee no harm, Rika. 1
love thee; and wh none loves he
hurts not the object of that love. To
-win thee I will give up my heirship to
the crown to uiy brother John' and
while he wears the diadem upon his
brow, I will conteut myself with love
■and happiness with thee.”
“Net so, noble Erie,''- said Rika,
firmly; “if thou wouldst make such a
sacrifice, I, for one, will not be a party
to it. After such a marriage—entail
ing, as it would, so much loss—love
would prove but a trmsient guest
within our home. Reproaches would
drive the ficklo god away.”
“Tel! me the truth, Rika,” inter
rupted Erie, with passionate earnest
ness; “do you love me 7"
“So well that I would rather die
thin know that harm would come to
one so noble through any influence of
mine.”
“And yet you refuse to make me
happy ?"
“I refuse to work your ruin, noble
prince. The present is not all of life.
Rut see —the sunlight has already
reached the middle point of your dial !
In ten more minutes my lather will be
here. If thou wouldst shield tne from
harm, go.”
‘•I will obey now, but I will not
ptomise to give up the hope which
lured me hither. Farewell for a time,
most obdurate maiden.”,
Then, with a loop, lingering, regret
ful look, the prince turned and de
parted.
])ays and weeks passed on.
At last came a time which was to
plunge the nation into mourning. The
good and great Gustavus was stricken
with a mortal illness.
lie died, and was laid beside his
kingly progenitors, and Eric was the
reigning sovereign in Sweden.
Young, impulsive, and his own
master, with his heart filled with but
one image, is it to be wondered at that
he sufiwed no obstacle to delay his
union with the maiden ol his love,aftei
the days of his were fully
accomplished, and that the pretty nut
girl of Sweden became its crowned
queen ?
Search the annals of history, and
you will find the romantic story of the
marriage cn rtcotd, adding still anoth-
er folk-talc to those the country maid
ens tell over to each other at that
witching time between daylight and
starlight, when all nature is going to
rest, and young hearts are attuned to
sympathy wi'ii nil true lovers.

The Atlanta llcpublioan —a lladical
sheet—in a recent editorial thinks that
those Democrats iu the present legis
lature will make for themselves a favor
able record, who will advocate a
‘practical and substantial reform of
the present disposition of the convicts;
who secure to the School fund an
amount that will swell it to a million a
year; who vote far the repeal of the
clause in the Constitution that dis
franchises men for the non payment of
tases.”
It is a fact worthy of note that the
measures above referred to constitute
the great hobbyhorses upon which the
Independents in this State for the past
few years, and especially iu the last
political campaign, have tried to ride
into power, Wc think it cun be dem
onstrated that these measures originat
ed with the Independents; and that
they have gone to greater extremes iu
their advocacy of them than the Ile
publican party ever did while it had
control of the State government.
So lar as the Con-ict System is con
cerned, me State lias never tried but
two: one is the Penitentiary, and tlie
Other is the Chain Gang. There has
been no confinement of convicts within
the nails of a penitentiary since the
war. The Chain Gang System in one
form or another lias been in vogue
ever sidec emancipation . The system
adopted in 18GG-6 was adhered to
throughout the Radical administration.
No coinp'aint was made of it then , yet
it can ho demonstrated that the system
has been greatly improved by subse
quent Democratic legislature. It has
been after the Independents had begun
to strike for office, that the present
sy.-tem (ras discovered to be an out-
rage upon civilization. At the same
time it has been proven that it
is the only kind that has ever paid any
revenue into the treasury; and the
mortality among the convicts has been
less than in nny other mode adopted
by the rest of the enlightened world.
Let us examine the common School
system. The cry has recently been
raised against it on account of the fund
not being sufficient; this in face of the
fact that a Democratic administration
has done more iu the interest of public
instruction, then ever the Radicals or
Ih eir independent allies offered to do
Every cent that a radical government !
by it* Constitution and laws appro
priated as a School fund, is to day
given that direction. During Radical
supremacy not one rent did the School*
get of the fund appropriated to them
by law. H was stolen by a Radical
Legislature. Since the over I brow of
this dynasty, the schools have regularly
received the fund appropriated by a
Democratic Constitution and statutes;
and iu addition to all this a colored
University iu the Stale receives an
nnnu’ty of $.8,000, appropriated by a
Democratic Legislature.
het the rads through their Inde
pendent friends have just discovered
we have not done enough in this di
rection. In the name of reason what
did they over do to foster education
among the colored people ?
Let us next examine the history of
'J - ..'pi* *-*pt*-Uu-**s tliv n rtf'
the di-franchiseme.nt of tax-defaulters.
As fur back as 1535 we find in the
voter's oath that he was required to
swear, among other things. ‘ 4 7 have
pa ill all legal lares required of me.and
which / have had an opportunity of
paying arrording to taw."' Cobh’s
Digest, page 239. We challenge
the proof of a single period in
the history nl Georgia when a similar
provision iu her laws was not in force.
In the Constitution of 18f>5 (See
Art 5, Seo 1) the non payment of
taxes disqualified oue from voting.
Even in the Constitution oflSGB(Ar'.
2 Sec 2), enacted hv a Radical Con
vention— i: creature of the Radical
party —such a disqualification is de
clared; and the words in the Constitu
tion of 1865 are copied in that of ISGB
almost verbatim.
A’et when the Democratic party ad
heres to this time-honored poliey by
adopting a similar provision in the
Constitution of 1877. we hear for the
first lime a howl of indignatinr, and it
comes from Independent candid ties !
Oue of the representatives from this
county openly, in a public speech, here
in Ci reenesboro’, declared himself
agaiust this policy in our laws.
Free-horn Georgians for a century
have lived under such a protection
around the ballot-box; and have
thought the policy a wise one. Rut it
will not dolor tbe Independent!
From this same party we hear the
cry against burdensome taxation of the
people ! H w they are going to de
crease taxation by destroying the only
Convict System that ever paid the
State a cent, add a million of dollars a
year to the School fund, and remove
the only inducement which many a
thriftless and insolvent man has to pay
his taxes, would puzzle the genius o'
a Sidney Smith or any other political
economist.
There is no danger ol such measures
being adopted. They are only advo
cated to catch the radical vote, and
the vote of the worst element in the
party —the clement that furnishes tc
the country its vagrants and to the
chain-gang its convicts.
V.’e advert to these matters to show,
that in order to secure that vote, these
independents—some of them at least
stand ready to go to more radical ex
tremes, than Radicals themselves.

CAPITAL NOTES.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 31st.
The legislators are nearly all in and
ready for the opening of the session to
morrow. Candidates are here too all
on the anxious bench and all working
every possible influence to compass
susccsfc. Combinations arc said to be
going on at a rapid rate and a man
can hardly tell who his friends are or
for what slate his prospects are to be
compromised. This is one of the evil.-
of the newly devised systom of electing
so many officers by the Legislature. —
The oil plan of Guhcrnatorial appoint
ment had i'.- ev.D B> and tended o -much
toward a one man power. But this
too is bad, gi ring scope for a vari -ty
of crooked dealing and unfair combi
nation. Asm many other emergencies
in our government there is merely a
choice of evils and the wise men of the
Constitutional Convention thought the
lesser evil was to let the Legislature
elect the Judges an 1 Solicitors
The interest in the choice of u
United States Senator becomes more
intense as the time for it draws near.
Governor Colquitt has left the Man
sion to the occupancy of Mr. Stephens
and now has his headquarters at the
Kimball House where his friends meet
and look over the prospect of his elec
tion. They still confidently claim
enough strength to elect him on the
first ballot though his opponents say
their combined strength is going to
astonish the natives. I do not believe
Gen. Lawton's name will he before the
Legislature. Chief Justice Ja-ks n
and Attorney Genera! Anderson are
avowed' jjndidates with an enthusiastic
support. Mr. Stephens and Senator
Drown are avowedly for Gov. Colquitt
and spike this team is hard to beat.
For JJr. Hill’s unexpired teroi both
B 11. Hill, Jr., and Pope Barrow have
a very flattering support. Roth are
young men of fine ability and charac
ter and a three mooths career in the
Senate would be a fitting honor for
either, I supposo Mr. Hill has the
better chance.
Before your next issue the long fret
of the Congressional campaign will
have ended nod unless my expectations
are woefully wrong Georgia will hare
chosen eight good Democrats to rep
resent her in the forty eighth Congress.
In thisdislrict Mr. Ruck, the Ropub°
lieun candidate, and a shrewd politician
lias organized a still bunt with which
lie i 0 beat the overconfident
£.HuwSng,<*fCol Hammond, V,.,-
Democrats will tako care that Georgia
shall not lose the services of one of her
ablest and best sens. The warmest
contests have been, of cour*e, iu the
seventh and ninth districts where in
dependentism has gained its strongest
foothold. But this time it will suffer
a severe defeat. I am sure. Dr. Felton
has strained every resource to regain
hit la-t power in the seventh hut Mr
Clements lias met him with the log o
of a spotless record in Congress and
with the cool prudence of common
sense. The doetor will be defeated
worse than he was two years ago.
As for Euiory Speer, the indications
unmistakeably are that the people of
the ninth have had enough of him and
his enigmatical “polities. Candler put
him on the defensive at the start and
has kept him there. It has been a
struggle with hint t.o hold his own and
be has failed. llis former friends
have des'i ted him all over the district.
I know he don’t believe it but he will
be convinced that something has hap
pened when he figures up the returns
•n 1 finds himself left. By all reasoi *
able estimates the next national House
of Representatives will bo Democratic.
The victory in Ohio insured that even
if wo hold our own elsewhere. Rut
certain gains in Indiana, New York,
and Pennsylvania will carry the House
by a handsome majority into Demo
cratic control. Naturally then they
will go to work* to prepare for ’B4.
Everything favors their success iu the
Presidential campaign. But one thing
can prevent it and that is the thing
that has so often prevented Democratic
success, namely their own unpardon
able blunders. F. H. 11.
