Sunday wu a wet and stormy day, and although note* passed frequently daring the day between the lovesick pair, it wu impound* to arrange matters Mtlsnsctorl- ly. Night crept oo space, and the flood-gates are still wide open. At ten o’clock, p. m., all the family and their guests have retired, and are sleeping tha sleep of tha innocent. A ahrill whistle is beard at tha gate at this hour, and the maiden hears it She hurrlM out into the rein and darkness, and as she reaches tho ralp she is not startled to behold a man stand ing on the outside of the enclos ure.

Thanking you lor gun and THE STATE CAMPAIGN. The Bogan Bonds Again. When tho republican government of Geor gia waa fiddling around and dipping into things in the name of John Pope and liberty, it concluded to raise the wind by issuing s lot of unauthorized and crooked bond* The undertaking was a highly-promising one, nntil l)r. Angier, the republican state treas urer, informed all concerned that he would not be a party to such proceeding. Thera wu considerable surprise, bnt no consterna tion, tunong those who wanted to raise the wind. The making of bogus bonds waeon industry not to be lightly given np. Treasurer Angler continued his protests against the bonds, refhsed to sign them, and teftued to stamp them with the seal of the state. Henry Clews, however, thought he lira smarter man titan the treasurer, and he had no hesitation in placing the bogus bonds on the market Treasurer Angier, in order to warn the public, went to New York city, printed a history of the bonds in the newspapers, and pnt everybody on notice that the bend* were bogus and that the state wm not responsible for their issue. He ad vertised the facta in this country, and in Europe, and it cannot be said, with troth, that there ia an innocent holder of these well-advertised bogns bond* Clews, however, succeeded in disposing of a number of the bogns bonds in Germany, and, from that day to this, these German holders have been hanging on the ragged edge ol hope and despair. They have em ployed able counsel, and this able counsel hss been engaged for several yean in an effort to compel tho people of Georgia to pay bonds with which they had nothing to do, anil for which they are not responsible. A more hopelrM effort wu never undertaken— and we have no donht that the German hold ers of the bogns bonds frequently grow weary. Probably they have paid oat a good deal of money in tho shape of oonnsel fees, fur those who betray a disposition to dance to the music that lawyers make must pay the pipera. We have already printed the current state ments relative to the cnit to be brought against Georgia by thostato of Illinois. Thoughtful readers need not be told that there is nothing in them. It may be that Illinois is to be need ns a calf to compel tho German cow to give down her milk into the lawyers’ jugs; bnt, beyond this, the threat ened anit has no significance. Oar own opinion is, that the lawyers are entitled to all the milk they can gather in this way; bnt there is no reason why anybody should begin to feel nervous when the legal gentle men atlck their beads over the fence and holler, "Co, wench I" The Govcmorahip.
