Whatever I do and whatever I say.
Aunt Tabitha says that isn’t the way ;
When she was a girl (forty summers ago,)
Aunt Tabitha tells me they never did so.
Dear aunt'. If I only wonld take her advice!
But I like my own way, and I find it to nice!
And besides I forget half the things I am told
But they will all coma back to me—when I am old.
If a youth passes by, it may happen, no doobt.
He tnay chance to look in as 1 chanee to look out j
She would never endure an impertinent stare—
It is horrid, she says, and I musn’t sit there.
A walk in the moonlight lias pleasures I own,
But it isn’t quite safe to be walking alone ;
So I take a lad’s arm- just for safety, you know,
But Aunt Tabitha tells me they didn’t do so.
Hew wicked we are, and how good they were then!
They kept at arm’s length these detestable men;
What an era of virtue she lived in !—but stp.y—
Were the men ail such rogues iu AuntTabitha’s day?
If the men were so wicked, I'll ask my papa
How be daied to propose to my darling mamma?
W«8 he like the rest of them? Goodness! Whoknows?
And what shall / say, if a wretch should propose 7
I am thinking if aunt knew so little of sin,
What a wonder Aunt Tabitha’s aunt must have been!
And her graud-auut—it scares me—how shockingly
sad
That we girls of to day are so frightfully bad;
A martyr will save ns, and nothing else can ;
Let me perish—to rescue some wretched young man!
Though when to the altar a victim I go,
Aunt Tabitha'll tell me the never did sa!

dear eyes that, looking into your own,

others, yours was the fa : rest face earth
held for him. It is to fight with a mighty

overwhelm him, and to hold it at arm's

St. Mary’s Ga., March 14, 1S72.
Leaving Milledgeville on the evening of
the 4th, we came to our house, the Brown
House at Macon, intending to take the
night train over the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad to Brunswick. But the night
train goes only to Jessup, making connex
ion there with trains on the Atlantic and
Gulf Road. We left Macon about 8 a
m. on Tuesday, and came through to
Brunswick, having a pleasant journey in
an elegant ‘coach’ and with an agreeable
‘assortment’ of passengers. We reached
the city of Brunswick about 10 o'clock,
p. m.
Last year the coast steamers bound
southward from Havmnah passed Bruns
wick on Tuesday nights. We found to our
dismay that the ‘schedule’ (how variable
and tormenting to travelers these same
schedules all over the earth !) had been
changed—boats passing Brunswick going
southward on the nights of Monday,
Thursday and Friday. After coasting
along the border of Brunswick Bay an
hour in vain pursuit of knowledge on the
subject, we ascertained these facts. We
give them to your readers free of charge, al
though they were ascertained by us at the
expense of time and trouble. These boats
leave Savannah on the days mentioned.
The Brunswickersseem much depressed,
as we ascertained by a sojourn among them
for two days. The Kimball failure, af
fecting the Btunswick and Albany R. If.
and leaving unpaid thousands of debts
due from the said Road to everybody in
Brunswick, was a severe blow. 'I his, and
‘hard-times’ generally, bear heavily on the
young city. But passenger and freight
trains run through daily on the unfortunate
road: the Macon and Brunswick R. R.
is doing a large business : the saw-mills of
the city are busy, and we never saw be-
fore in Brunswick harbor so many vessels
discharging and receiving cargoes. A
number of new buildings are going up.
We think the depression will soon pass
away, notwithstanding we encountered
mauy people who put on airs counterfeit
ing ‘the blues.’ We found the air salu
brious ; the fish and oysters of the best
quality; and the whole young city, em
bowered in live oak trees, looking decided
ly lovely. Even Smith, the editorial moil
arch of The Appeal affected melancholy,
and talked of ‘hard times.” But he look
ed well-fed and we are sure it was all af
fectation.
The Lizzie Baker came at midnight on
Thursday night, and brought us hither in
five hours. In one respect Brunswick Joe*
need improvement. Passengers awaiting
the arrival of boats in cold weather, suffer.
Our shelter in the warehouse protected us
from rain ; but the air was “eager and nip
ping” (to borrow an expression from Ham
let) and we were chilled to the bone. There
European aud American Jostumes.
THE CONTRAST.
How shocked would those ladies of our
‘first society’ be, if they knew that the
torturing and ill-formed shoes on whose
stilt-like heels they tilt and suffer.no Par
is shopkeeper would ever offer to a lady.
For more than two years American wo
man, especially young girls, have walked
the public streets, with conspicuous chains
and lockets, or Mounting bows of ribbon,
attracting the attention of every passing
gazer, solacing themselves by the thought
that it was “perfectly French.” If so, it
was a costume which no French lady would
wear on the public pavement. The dress
of the French lady is artistic, simple, fault
less—faultless often because it is simplic
ity itself. She may wear brilliant colors
in her drawing room, and in her carriage,
never on the street. When she walks she
wears black or gray, and it never drags on
the ground. When she goes to church,
she wears the same colors—is always at
tired in the simplest manner.
This is true also of Italy. In the Sis*
tine chapel, Rome, no lady can enter un
less attired in black, with no covering on
her head but a veil of the same hue
What a contrast to the church attire of
American women. They are acousloined
to think of themselves as perfect saints
compared with Italian and French women,
yet they enter the house of God as the}’
would a theater. They don their gayest
plumage, hang on all their chains and'
lockets, take off their kid gloves to show
their diamond rings in the sacred temple
just as in the Academy of Music. Worse,
they stare and comment on each other’s
costumes, and absolutely make the church
of worship a place in which to study the
fashions. The same lack of fitness in dress
is seen in the utter disregard to age, as
well as occasions, in the adaptations of
dress. The ‘woman of 30 or 40 may be
as beautiful as a woman of 20, by her
own right, if there’s no incongruity be
tween her years aud her attire.
It is only when the woman of forty
dresses like the girl of twenty that she
looks absurd. A French married lady nev
er wears a round hat; an English lady only
iu traveling ; an English maiden never at
church. Yet everywhere American mat
rons with faces lined and scarred, may be
seen with staring jockeys, set on tbeir
gray beads like helmets, beflowered aud
befeathered, and more fantastic titan the
ones worn by their little daughters of ten.
Flannel, and linen, aud muslin are worthy
of their princes and princesses abroad, but
are by no means fine enough for the little
princes and princesses American. All of
which is not French, though to be “per
fectly French” has been the alpha and
omega of our alphabet iu dress.

is no good reason why the steamers should
not have comfortable saloons fitted up for
their patrons. They charge enongh fare
to enable them to do that much for travel
ers. A good small hotel, on the French
plan, near the wharves at which these
steamers touch, would pay well in Bruns
wick, there being none near enough for
convenience.
We find St. Mary’s prospering more ra
pidly perhaps than Brunswick. Quite a
number of new houses have been erected
within the present year. The fact that the
St. Mary’s and Western R. R. is in pro
gress of actual construction is attracting
business men hither, and stimulating im
provement. Mr. W. T. Spencer has an
elegant new hotel thronged with guests.
It was opened with fitting ceremonies,
and a grand ball, on the 1st of January
last. Many Northern people are sojourn
ing here, where the climate certainly is de
lightful. There is no better location for
obtaining abundance of the best fish and
oysters at the lowest prices. These arti
cles of diet abound on the Spencer-House
table. The number of vessels in the Har
bor, greater than usual, shows the activity
of the commercial business. We go into
the interior in a day or two—shall write
again from this region. W. G. M.
Woman Suffrage.—The following
proposed amendment to the Constitution
was introduced in the House on the 11th,
by Mr. Jones, delegate from Wyoming
Territory :
‘Article 10—Section 1. The House of
Representatives shall be composed of mem
bers chosen every second year by the peo
ple of the several States and Territories
of the United States, and hereafter each
of the organized Territories of the United
States shall be entitled to one Represen
tative in the House of Representatives,
who shall be entitled to all the privileges
and powers enjoyed by members from the
several States.
Section 2. No distinction in the qualifi
cation of electors in the States or Territo
ries shall hereafter be made on account of
The bill was referred to the Committee
on the Judiciary.
The Great Red River Raft.—Ev
erybody has heard of the Red River
Raft, and that it is a vast mass ot drift-
wood, completely obstructing naviga
tion at the point where it covers the
water with its countless trunks of forest
trees. The river passes under this mass
as if it were a bridge. In 1833, when the
raft was one hundred and twenty four
miles long, the general government
began the work of removing it; but
after workihg at it for twenty-two
years, abandoned the attempt as im
practicable, and confined its efforts to
the opening of some of the lateral chan
nels or bayous. The most curious
characteristic of this gnat raft is that
it moves up the river against the cur
rent, instead of down. This rnove-
The election was over in the flat, sunstrock,
dumb-aguish, creek-gashed, bay-intented parish
of Alligatorville, and our fellow mac aud brother
Pompey Howard had carried the day by exactly
the majority which his backers had bet on.
It does not require much practice with the
double barrelled phrases of the English language
to hit the idea that onr fellow man and brother was
that kind of human comrade and fraternal relative
which the Indo European inhabitants of Alli
gatorville delighted to honor with the title of “nig
ger.”
In complexion, he favored the ace of spades,and
was not to be put to the blush by the ace of clubs.
There was no more prospect of his hair getting
out of curl, than there was of its tnrning into
feathers or goldthread or pointc appliquee. The
bridge of his nose was so far front being an eleva
tion, and was on the contrary such an indisputa
ble, monotonous, aud even grovelling depression
that you could only consider it a bridge by sup
posing that it had broken down .and gone to rain
His lips projecte J to that degree that he might al
most have used them as feelers in the daik.oras
buffers to deaden a collision ; while it was possi
ble to imagine a manikin naturalist as standing
upon them quite at his ease, and measuring with
a half-inch pole the breadth of the nostrils above.
His jaws were so huge, protuberant and powerful,
that a Darwinian might be excused from inferring
from them that he belonged to a race which not
very long since got its living by cracking cocoa
nuts and marrow bones with its teeth.
This man aud brother had been a slave ; he was
descended from men and brethren who had for
two hnudred years been slaves in a land of stran
gers ; he was further descended from men aud
brethren who for thousands of years had been
slaves, savages, idolators and cannibals on their
own native soil. Since the hoariest cycle com
memorated by history, there bad not been a year
when somebody was not “gettingafter” these men
and brethren, hunting them for the artless pleas
ure of killing them, making them work when they
didn’t want to, and for purposes which were not
to their profit, taking their wages out of their
hands and their bread out of their moutiis. tattoo*
mg* their hacks with cat-o -nine-tails, and their |
shins with boot tees, and in short, giving them a
hard, moan, d graded life of it. On Egyptian
granite, and in Greek and Roman marbles and
Venetian canvases, and in more modern picture'
books, their wooly heads and proguat ous jaws
and cocumber shins had been painted and sculp
tured and printed in every attitude and action ex
pressive of subjugation, servility, paltrootiery
itelpU ssness aud ridiculousness.
At last a benero cut and sagacious bird called
the American eagle, moved to headloug compas
*ion by the conscience and other circumstances
over which he had no control, resolved to repay
Pompey Howard in one lump for all these insults
and injuries to himself and his forefathers.
It said to him in substance : “You never struck
9 blow for liberty,and nevertheless you shall have
Yon are as ignorant, as heavy brained, and as
morally degraded as the vulgarest peasant of the
oldest despotism of Europe : nevertheless you shall
be a citizen of a great and proud republic, which
depends tor its strength and honor upon the in
telligence and virtue of its citizens. You never
governed eveu yourself, and have not the slight
est knowledge of statesmanship, nor a conception
of right or wrong iu politics : nevertheless I con
stitute you an elector, with the possibility of being
a junor, a dignitary in the commonwealth, an exe
cutor of justice, and a lawgiver.”
Having decreed thus much, this most ingenious
aud far-sighted of all fowls that roost on stars,
with coats of arm around their necks, sailed cheer
fully away from the man and brother, leaving him
to his own devices
Immediately on the departure of the eagle, or
whatever posterity may discover him to have been,
a carpet-bagger sidled up to the new-born elector,
and with that guileless smile which Satan wore
when he blarnied Eve, whispered to him : “O man
and brother, run for office and support my little
bill, aud you shall have mo>e money than you can
get by hoeing.”
Accordingly Pompey Howard, witli ths carpet
bagger's guiding fingers on his uncertain nose,
haJ run w ith all his cucumber legs for the position
of representative from Alligatorville, and, thanks
to the votes of other men and brethreu just as tit
tor political power hs himself, thanks also to the
professor of ballot box legerdemain who counted
those votes, had come out ahead of all competors.
The first impulse of the new flegel legislator
was to shake haiuis with half a h. ndred or so ot
ragged adherents, aud his next to start for his
cabin, four miles up the spungy and reedy banks
of Aiiigator Creek, with a view to supper. In the
outskirts of the crowd of electors he met his father,
commonly known for the last sixty years or so,
as Uncle Toby, a white headed shrunken, twisted,
and wonderfully wrinkled little man and broth, r,
who barely kept himself from dropping upon all
fours by holding on with both hands to a long stick,
and who consequently resembled the oraug-outang
which one discovers in unbelievable illustrations
of natural histories.
“Hullo, daddy !” shouted Representative How"
ard. “Where was you in the votin’? I spected
to s. e you thar a puttin’ in your ticket for me."
“An’ so I did put it in," squeaked Uncle Toby,
with such a grin on his wizened face, as you may
seo any day through the bars of a monkey cage - —
“I stuck it in the hole in the Poetoffice. Some
hoys told me that was the place.”
“Them boys !" exclaimed the colored member
indignantly. “Now that ain’t fair. They jus'
been and come it on the old man. Now that tick
et oughter count all the same.”
“Certainly, Mr. Howard,” put in a smiling,
lurking, corpulent gentleman, dressed in frayed
and greasy black broadcloth, and adorned with
suspiciously ostentatious jewelry, who was no
other titan the advisatory carpet bagger, Mr. Jack
Hunt.
Mr. Jack Hunt, a late convert from New Yotk
city democracy, who had come South to make use
of the man and brother as the monkey made use of
the cat.had no more appearance of being horn a fool
than Pompey Howard had of being a born sage.
He possessed about au ounce more of nose, a
couple of pounds more of brains, and a pound
or so less of chops than tha newly e ected lawgiv
er. In other respects his appearance was not to
his advantage, being obviously that of a slimy and
impudent scoundrel.
‘Certainly that vote must be counted,” went on
Mr. Jack Hunt, in a lubricating voice, fat and
warm to sickishness, like machine grease. “We
will have it with the others, and let it go to help
the good cause. Heavens and earth ! a vote cast
iu good faith like that !—of course it must count.
But allow me to ask. who is your venerable
iriend ?”
“Who ?—him?” grinned Pompey Howard, who
h id never before heard his father called venerable
friend, nor seen bowed to by white folks. “That's
my ole daddy.”
”l)e—lighted—ed !” smiled Mr. Jack Hunt
seizing and shaking a withered paw which looked
ns if it might have done its chief earthly work in
the way of climbing trees aud hanging on to
branches. “Y'ery glad to meet you, Mr. Howard-
I had noticed you frequently before, and wonder

two in a year. Tile explanation ot j ed who you could be. It gives me great pleasure

What it is to be a Widow.
“I think it must be a jolly thing to be
a young widow ! ’ I heard this lemark
the other day, in a group of laughing girls
1 think I remem her saying such a thing
myself in my girlish times. Do you know'
girls, what it is to be widow? It is to be
ten times more open to comment aud crit
icism than any demoiselle could possibly
be. It is to have men to gaze as you pass,
first at your black dress and then at your
widow’s cap, until your sensitive nerves
quiver under the infliction. It is to have
oue ill natured person say, ‘I wonder how
long she will wait belore she marries again?
aud another answer, ‘Until she gets a good
chance, I suppose’” It is now and then
to meet the glance of real sympathy gen
erally, from the poorest and humblest wo
man that you meet, and feel your eyes fili
at the token, so rare it is, alas ! iniiooked
for. It is to have your dear fashionable
friends console you, ^after the following
fashion: “Oh well! it is a dreadful loss.
We knew you’d feel it,dear,"and in the next
breath, “You will be sure to marry again,
and your widow’s cap is very becoming to
you.” But it is more than this to be a
widow. It is to miss the strong arm you
have leaned upon, the true faith you knew
could never fail you, though all the world
might forsake you. It is to miss the dear
voice that uttered your name with a ten
derness that none other could give it. It
is to hear no more the well known foot
steps that you flew so gladly once to meet.
To see no more the face that to your ador
ing eyes seemed as the face of the angels
ed representative.”
By w*y of answer to this speech, Uncle Toby
went off into a series of asthmatic ctinckliugs and
sniggerings, which ended in such a coughing and
spasmodic vvriggling, that it seemed as if he would
disgorge, shake out, and give up whatever ghost
there might be iu the mummy which served him
for a body.
“Y'is. I in his daddy,” he said, when k e had re
covered such gift of speech as he possessed, a gift
the more easily lost perhaps because his race had
not had it very many centuries, aud because he
had been so unfortunately situated in life as not
to make much intelligent use of it.
“But my name ain’t Howaid,” he added, with
another chuckle, which was evidently almost too
much for such a creature in a semi embalmed con
dition. ‘Tse ole Toby Beaumont. Raised by
the Beaumonts of Hartland, don’ you see ? Uoo!
dey was quality Pomp yere, he was raised by
the Howards. I’m Beaumont, an’ he’s Howard.
Dat’s de way it is ”
Then backing off from Jack Hunt with several
“curchying” bows, Uncle Toby turned to one of
his ancient chrouies and muttered scornfully:—
“Dat’s a mighty ignorum man. ’Pears like be
don’ know quality folks, nor don know nothin'
rightly.”
, t. ,i c , • i i Obviously he had the contempt for common-
pounds ot potash, one ounce ot Strich- \ p] ace white people that a rich mans dig has for
nine, mixed with soft water.’ It was j beggars. Obviously also betook next to no in-
+l,io -hsorl.d nnf oaxr tereet in his son’s election as representative, and
according to this cheerful, not to say | had not the sligl)test idea that Pompey owed him
an atom of filial reverence.
“dome along Pomp—time to be gettin' up the
crick,” put in Caesar Delaunay, a colored neigh
bor of the colored member.
“No; no,” objected Mr. Carpot-bagger Hunt,
who had by no meaus finished bis manipulations
of Alligatorville’s favorite son. “Don’t go home
now, Mr, Howard, Come along to the tavern and
take a drink over it. I want to say something
more about that little bill of mine ” he whispered
“Lord bless you, man, you are a public character
now. Business firet, and pleasure afterwards.—
Come aloug."
It was noticeable that, in talking to his Tel-
emachus alone, this carpet-bagging Mentor drop
ped the lubricating tone which he used in the
hearing of the electors, and assumed an air which
was half hail fellow and half dictatorial, notun
like of a jolly policeman in communing with a
pickpocket
Not a little against his will, our representative
man and brother followed his overbearing friend
to the Alligatorville Hotel, drank under his be-
parent'y stationary mass is simple
enough. The logs, at the lower end
of the raft, are continually broken a-
way and carried off by the currents,
while tresh drift-wood is brought down,
and added to the upper end by fresh
ets. Thus, the raft, always falling
away at one end, and growing at the
other, gradually moves up the river,
and it is calculated that it has moved
since its first forming about four hun
dred miles. Scientific writers have
suggested the idea that this vast mass
of timber, after lying in the old bed of
the river for quite a number of ages,
will become a great coal-bed. But it
seems it don’t lay there, and their
science is at fault.
Ten gallons of kerosene, three
convivial formula that a quantity of
‘whisky’ seized last week in Newton,
Massachusetts, was compounded, the
recipe also been found in possession
of the unfortunate dealer. If you
want ‘gin,’ add quantum stiffcit of oil
juniper! The mystery is that men
who drink this diabolical fluid do not
drop down stone dead at once-
— — ■ —
I do in my conscience believe that
intoxicating stimulants have sunk into
perdition more men and women than
found a grave in that deluge which
swept over the highest hill-tops, en
gulfing the world ot W’hich but eight
were saved.—Rev. Dr. Guthrie'
nign influence a bot’le or bo of bad spirits said
and repeated snd swore that he worid infallibly
vote for his pet enactment, received as earnest of
sewards of virtue to come, a five dollar greenback,
and was put to bed for the night on a settee in a
state cf immoral insensibility.
Awakening in due time from his slumber, and
successively awakened in due time from other
similar slumbers, he at last awoke on the day
when he must join his brother legislators. Not
having done a lick ef work since fame had mark
ed him for her own, and.being censequen ly as des
titute of cash to travel with, as his old woman and
pickaninnies were ef cash to stay at home with,
he was forced to get his hat checked through to
the State capital at the expense of Carpet-bagger
Hunt, thereby putting himself under another obli
gation to go fsr that gentleman’s little bill.
“But how's I to know when your business is
comiu on?” he inquired of his banker and advi
sor, as they smoked together in the second class
car.
“Oh. I'll be on hand,” promised the member of
the lobby. “I’ll give you a poke when it is up.—
All you've got to do. is to s.ng out Aye.”
“I s'pose it’s all right, Mr. Hunt ?” queried
Pompey, who judged, from what he had learned of
his friend's ways that there was a “mighty smart
chance” of its being all wrong.
“Right ? of course its right,” asseverated the
carpet bagging one, opening his eves wide with
amazement at the question. “Hain’t you had
your five dollars, and more too ?”
“Oh, yis, I’ve done had it aud done gone spent
it,” assented Pomp gloomily. “But what I mean
is, there ain’t nothin wrong in it—in de bill ?’’
‘Certainly there ain’t" declared Jack Hunt,
with the glibness which is a well-known charac
teristic of modesty and virtue—gone to the devil-
“There’s nothing to get you in jail,” he continued
not in the least suspecting ttiat a nigger could
have the slightest spice of of conscience. “Don’t
you he afraid, Pomp. Even if there was any
thing, it’s none of your business That's the Gov
ernor’s lookout. It's his affair to see what's wrong
and to veto it.”
“ Telo it ?’ puzzed tha lawgiver
‘‘Yes, veto it ; stamp on it ; that is his little
biz ”
‘Oh, that’s his biz,” answered Pomp much re
lieved.
“Yes. You go on and vote for what you want;
vote for all the party measures aud all your friends'
measures; vote just as our set of fellows tell you.
It any thing is wrong, the Governor sees to it ”
Thus educated up to the duties aud responaibii-
i ies of au American legislator—educated, w. fear
as a great number of our legislators are, ail over
this laud of intelligence aud freedom—Pompey
Howard arrived in the capital of the State which
he served aud honored-
Mr. Jack Hunt, or rather, we might appropri
ately say, Mr. Beezlebub Hunt took lodgings for
his ame damnee in an unpaiuted slice of a wooden
house which looked as if it had been shaved off
from son e larger building, aDd which bad been cut
so inconveniently tniu that the stairs leading to
the second story was necessarily on the outside.—
Imagination could not picture a staircase in that
representative mansion without also picturing its
rooms as being hung out of the windows like bird
cages.
The apartment allotted to the member from Al-
ligatorville had no lock on the door, as being just
the residence for a legislator whose breeches pock
ets were no temptation to sneak thieves, and
whose baggage went iuto a cotton handkerchief
without crowding. It had no curtain and no
blind* to its single window, which in fact admitted
so l.ttle light as not to need those obstructions,
having been made apparently for one of the pala
ces of Lilliput. Its floor was just as naked as it
had been born, possessing not even a figleaf of a
rug to hide its indecency The only articles of
furniture were a cot bed, a pine washstaud, a rock
ing chair with a crick in the back, and a seven-
by nine looking glass which made Pompey s face
twice as broad as it was long. Yet such had been
the humility of his previous belongings, and so
magnificently did this wretched cell compare with
his rotten log cabin on Alligator Creek, that it
seemed to him as if he were entering iuto the
abodes of luxury.
“There you are !” said Jack Hunt, grinning at
the lawgiver s obvious awe of tt:e neuralgic rock
ing chair ; “I go security for you, and you settle
out of your salary, when you get it. The room on
the front is the den ot Father Abel. Know the old
cock ?”
Pompey, with some vague idea that he was in
paradisical scenes, and that Adam aud Eve, aud
perhaps an angel or so, would soon appear to him,
“allowed” that h- did not know Father Abel.
“ ’Daddy Abel,’ they generally call him,” ex
plained Jack Hunt “He's one ot your big guns
among de culiud breddreu,” he continued with a
Bowery imitation of the negro dialect. “You'll
buck against him some morning, and you'd better
cotton to him. He's one of my particular buin-
rneis, and he won’t let the silver-grays pull the
wool over your eyes. Besides, he’ll show you tho
way to take the gospel ship for the port of Zion,”
he added, with a chuckle, ns if tha voyage in ques
tion wete the most ridiculous adventure imagina
ble. -‘Now to come back to business, you’ll want
some money for your feed, and I’ll put up ten dol
lars more on you, and you can pay me when you
can. That makes fifty so far, don't it ? To-mor
row night I’ll light on you, and take you to the
Governor's reception. Ho gives a big blow-out
for the members. On, don’t you look scared. It's
a free lunch for all, white, and colored, and semi-
colorad, and demi-semi-colored ; aud all you’ve
got to do there is to do just what you want to do.
eat, drink, smoke, and he sweet on the ladies —
The Governor pays, and the secret service fund
pays the Governor, and everybody that votes is
welcome to all he can use.”
With these instruction* and encouragements,
exit Jack Hunt, whistliug “Jordan am a hard road
to trabble, I believe.”
CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK .
The Ssslh—The Hope sf the Natissi.
No one who lias given much attention to the pres
ent condition and future prospects of the Southern
States can for a moment doubt that a brilliant career
lies before them. Modern explorations, aided by the
printing press, have given us a very complete cursory
survey of the entire surface ot the globe, and we new
have a clear general idea of the physical adaptation
of the different portions of the earth’s surface to the
necessities of the highest civilization And in what
ever aspect the question he viewed, whether as to the
extent of sea coast and its proper indentation for har
bors, its variety ot climate aud soil, its fertility aud
adaptability to different cultures, the length of its navi
gable rivers, its contiguity to the oceanic influences of
winds and curreuts, its natural productions aud capa
bilities both in the animal and vegetable kingooms,
its inexhaustible supplies of the mineral sources of
ot wealth and advancement iu civilization, the sec
tion of the Uuited States included under the geograph
ical designation of the -Southern .States stands pre
eminent aud uuapproached by any equal exteut of
land iu the world. Aud while this is strikingly true of
the general physical structure of that section, it is no
less remarkable that in the wouderlu) dealings of God
with the uations that this glorious heritage for
the incoming populations of other less favored and
overcrowded countries lias been seemingly held in re
serve, out I such time as it suited ills omnipotent will
m the further development of His plans towards the
euildren ot men, and 1ms been prepared for their
coming by a people who have been educated to be
come a nucleus of a higher, purer, nobler and more
elevated civilization than the world lias yet seen. YVe
believe it with the fervid earnestness of our very souls,
lienee, it will come to pass that these Southern
States wil be more gradually, but thus more effect
ually populated than any oilier sections of our country,
and that as a rule the class of people who will make
homes iu the South will be superior to that of newly-
populated territory. None of that class of adventurers
which marks the character of our Western frontiers
will seek to make homes in the South, and the utter
complete failure of the despicable and contemptible
attempts of politics 1 carpet-baggers to obtain any
status for any length ot time, whether political or so
cial, shows that in this statement we kuow the truth
aud strength of our estimate of Southern character.
In further confirmation of this view, we call atten-
tiou to the almost unanimous sentiment of the South
ern people, wherever expressed, as opposed to the in
discriminate peopling of their States by the riff raff
and paupers ot oilier countries, and the earnest de
mand for men, either of large or small means, who
know how and are williug to work, to become proprie
tors of the soil, and by their skill to assist in the devel
opment of the country. To all such a large-hearted
welcome will be extended. But such people, as we
kuow, ure not of the class of adventurers who crowd
our shores by thousands, in every emigrant vessel,
although many such are amongst them
We have seen the workings of this eurious problem
just long enough to know that the South need not fear
any sudden and overpowering flood of foreigners.—
They will not even find it necessary to take any
steps to keep them away. On the contrary, we
believe that all the efforts of private and publie
immigration movement* will he needed to promote
the best interest of the South in this direction. The
machinery in operation for disposing of this dan
gerous eiemeut of foreign emigration is amply suffi
cieut. Western railroad and land companies are tak
ing care of them. Let the South now take the proper
steps to get the better and more desiiahle class of
foreigners. It can be done. It is in harmony with
what we believe the wishes of the Southern people
and the desigus of Providence. ReaJ, if you please,
the article we publish to-day from the American Set
tler, a journal jnst begun iu London. We can not
ignore that presentation of the subject These preju
dices exist. They are facts. They have to be over
come. That requires effort But when made, the
class of people who will be the most likely to have
such prejudices removed are the very oues the South
ern people would most gladly welcome aud who would
be most in harmony with themselves.
We would have the South act wisely but promptly
and energetically. We would have it see the danger
of delay and the advantage of iostaut action. These
are the days ot action. They are uot for sluggards,
and it God iu HU great goodness has given us of the
South to be the future hope of the nations, he as
surely requires that we give a proper stewardship of
the momentous trust,— l hs South.
CARL SCIH RZ S LAST WORDS IX THE
ARMS DERATE.
In closing the debate on the sale of
arms to the Freuch, in the Senate,
Senator Schurz, replying to Mr. Fre-
linghuysen, said:
And now sir, I shall not imitate the
example of others in going over the
whole political field. I may express my
opinions upon several subjects that
have beeu discussed here upon another
and more fitting occasion. The Sen
ator from New Jersey yesterday closed
his speech with a somewhat high-flown
eulogy on the President—a eulogy
which, let me say, we heard yester
day from his lips by no means the
first time. I find no fault with him,
fori suppose his lips are merely run
ning over with what his heart is so full
of. He must pardon me if I cannot
share in the gushing fervor of his wor
ship. I believe, when all the stock of
panegyric is exhausted, that then the
people of the United States are still
entitled to ask some questions - I re
member the time, and it was at the very
commencement of my senatorial career,
when we discussed here the repeal of
the tenure of-oflice law, and when Mr.
Fessenden, whose name and memory
we all revere, made a remark which
went straight to my heart; for the
edification of the Senate permit me to
read it. He said:
“I think the day lias gone by when
with good taste we here in the Senate—
men of some consequence, represen
ting States of this Union, considering
ourselves great men nour way—should
think it necessary to be continually
slobbering the President, and talking
about his victories and his battles, and
all that sort of thing. Sir, he has
ceased to be a general, in the ordinary
sence of the word; he is nothing now
hut President of the United States.”
And whatever you may say of Will
iam Pitt Fessenden, all of us who
knew him will admit that he was a
man. The Senator from New Jersey
also alluded very touchingly to the
men on the farms and in the work
shops, how they would cast aside the
report of these debates, and say “What
of itV we know the great warrior who
saved us at Vicksburg and Richmond,
and in him our faith will remain fixed.”
Sir let me tell the Senator that the
men on the farms and in the workshops
are freemen, and have the intelligence
and pride ot freemen. They see no
man so high above them that they
would bow their heads to the dust.
They are gratelul for the capture of
Vicksburg and for the victory at
Richmond; but they also know that
Vicksburg is no longer to be captured,
and that no hostile army, entrenched
around Richmond, is now' to be bea
ten. They know that what the coun
try now stauds most in need of, is
free, honest and pure government, If
the Senator from New Jersey is ready
to appeal to the people, so, sir, am I.

Editor Morning News :
The letter ot your correspondent, “Poyntz,”in
yesterday’s issue,being calculated to create doubts
in the minds of those uot intimately acquainted
with the subject of foreigu labor, 1 beg leave to
say that the whole success depends upon a care
ful selection in the lRbor market of Europe,
which, as every inarkat is subject to fluctuation
and changes. Au agent must ba thoroughly con
versant with those changes to guard against the
selection of inferior peisons. It was to guard
agaiuft these evils that the Company, of which j
am the foregin agent, associated with its operations
the feature ofpsupplying skilled and reliable la
bor upon passage-money advances—the only way
to obtain such persous iu the incipient stages ot im
migration to our country.
Should a liberal policy be followed by our cities
and rural communities, the results will be very
great ; aud we will have iu a few years the begin
ning of a laige anl spontaneous immigration.—
Moreover, tnis policy is at present the only means
by which we may have a line of steamers running
regularly between Savannah aud some European
port during the winter months. Is’it impossible
fot Savannah to get out, say two hundred domes
tics, etc-, i y fall and to guarantee a return freight
of cotton ? If that be possible it will not be diffi
cult to have a line laid on.
In conclusion, I would furthermore submit to
Mr. Poyntz, that in some of the cases cited the
employer may have been as much to blame as the
empmye, at least such has been our experience.—
In our part of Georgia the Swedes are doing ad
mirably.

Your obedient servant,

How Kraut Deals With Public Wroaii,
How earneat ana desirous President Grant is to
reform abuses perpetrated by his special appointees,
is evidenced by the following paragiaph from the New
York Tribune: “Mr. A. T. Stewart told President
Grant of the exactions of his protoge, Leet, more
than eighteen mouths ago; the report of a committee,
alter secret investigation, confirmed the merchant’s
statement lully a year ago; a second investigation,
open and public, at which our first tnerchan’s fieely
testified, has made the fact notorious to the country,
yet the only actions ordered by the President are the
remodeling of tile General Order business, with Leet
Sl Co. -til! retained iu infamous power, and tile prose
cution ot the merchants who testified against them.
There is certainly much that is mortifying iu this con
trast. Tnere is a world of truth in tins brief extract,
and coming as it does from au authoritative Republi
can source it is eutilled to calm and thoughtful con
sideration. Tho shameful developments resulting
from the Congressional investigation of the charges
preferred against the New York Custom-honse offi
cials, would have compelled any other administration
than Grant’s to have taken the matter iu baud, and
summarily disposed of the scoundrels by whom tire
merchants of that city have been so unmercifully
fleeced. Hut confiding in the good nature of the
people, the powers that be, at Washington, have al
lowed matters to take their own course, regardless
alike to the appeals and protests of the injured par
ties.
Hut this state of things eamiot last; the patience of
the people, long since well-nigh exhausted, will even
tually give way, and the retribution will commence
The dark d ysettliis corrupt dynasty cannot be far dis
tant, or we sadly mistake the spirit of the American
people There is a limit to every thing save eternity,
aud there must necessarily be a limit to the forbear
ance of the people of tliis Country. The bounds have
been almost reached, and such investigations as those
of the New York Custom House General Order busi
ness, that of the sale of arms now u ider discussion
by the United States Senate, and he developments of
election frauds, such os are being made iu this city, iu
the McClure-Gray contested election case, will bring
the people still nearer to their eutruncliisemeut. Speed

Hardy Hogan Helper, a brother we presume of Hin
ton Rowan Helper, (that family seems to be original
in the way of names) is out in a manifesto to the hon
est Republicans of North Carolina, iu which he calls
upon them to “amuse and aid in the gracious work
of overthrowing the Grant-Radical thieving and mer
cenary party.” He says tin hand-writing is writ—the
Grand-Radical party is rapidly disintegrating and
“ has become the creature of a tyrant, aud his min
ions who have attempted to overthrow the Constitu
tion—trample on the reserved rights of the States aud
on the liberty of the citizen, in order that they may
revel iu gifts, bribes and peculations wi h impunity.”
Hardy spells it very nearly right iu that particular.
Furthermore, he adds this proposition which few sen
sible nieu will dispute:
“A party which proscribes aud subordinates intelli
gence, property, aud character, and enfranchises ig
norance for political power, is not Republican.”
We agree to that. Let Hardy strike hard and strike
often.— Telegraph 4- Metsenger.
