Like one who hears with sudden throb of sad news The lingering cadence of au old refrain Whioh wakes the echoes of some vanished gladness With tender pam, So atand I now with mingled pain and pleas are, After long absence, at a well-known door Which guarded once my darling, my hearts treasure In days of yore. Still bloom the roses with their old-time sweet nes* ~ , , Bound this dear cottage in my native land ; Trimmed is the hedge with all its wonted neat ness ; The old elms stand. Still slopes the lawn in beautifal gradation, Like a soft oarpet of the rioheat green ; Still leaps the fountain with its light pula a tion, Brightening the scene. Years have not changed it; now as then the river Winds in the distance like a silver stream ; Through the old orchard still the sunbeams quiver And brightly gleam. Ah ! but no voice of sweetest modulation Nor rippling laughter greets my listening ear ; All the bright scene but breathes in desola tion, "Sheis not here!” “Not here ! not here !" the murmuring elm trees sigh it. The rustling grass repeats it ’neath my feet, Her cherished roses mournfully reply it In odors sweet. O’er the soft lawn the shadows westward creep ing Darkly enfold me at the rose-girt door. In deeper shadows lies my dear love sleeping, To wake no more ! (SORROW. Upon my lips she laid her touch divine. And merry speech and careless laughter died ; She fixed her melancholy eyes on mine, And would dot be denied. I saw the west wind loose his cloudlets white, In flocks, careering through the April sky; I could not sing, though Joy was at its height. For she stood silent by. I watched the lovely evening fade away— A mist was lightly drawn across the stars ; She broke my quiet dream—l heard her say, “Behold your prison bars !” Barth's gladness shall not satisfy your soul— This beauty of the world in which you live ; The crowning urace that sanctifies the whole, , That I alone can give. I heard, and shrank away from her afraid ; But still she held mo and would still abide, Youth’s bounding pulses slackened and obeyed, With slowly ebbing tide. “Look thou beyond the evening sky,” she said— “ Beyond the changing splendors of the day; Aooept tho pain, the weariness, the dread, Accept and bid me stay !’’ I turned and clasped her close with sudden strength, And slowly, sweetly I became aware Within my arms Gods angel stood, at length, White robed, and calm, and fair. And now I look beyond the evening star, Beyond the changing splendors of the day. Knowing the pain He sends more precious far, More beautiful than they. [Atlantic for May. FAREWELL TO SUMMER.

[London Examiner.] Oar receut reference to the strong anti-iavonian feeling of the Albanese race in Turkey has been quickly con firmed. Sixteen thousand well-armed Albanese have joined the Tnrkish army at Orknp, west of Niach. It may not be amiss to observe that even Servis, small as it is—with bat little more than 1,000,- 000 inhabitants—is by no means homo genious in race or speech. Its eastern districts are inhabited by Wallaehs, or Bonmana, who just now give great trou ble in Leshjanin's army. In the south east of Servis, a section of Bnlgars dwell within the frontier, and they, after all, are also a race different from the Servo Slays. In Bosnia, as we have be fore stated, the Christian Slays and the Mohammedans nearly balance each other. Turning to the remnant of Eu ropean Turkey, we find the Albaneee, or Arnauts, along the Adriatic and lonian Sea, from the frontier of Monte negro down to the boundary of Greece. Tne territory between the Albanese dis tricts and the Moldo-Wallachian frontier, where the Romans dwell, is mainly in habited by Bnlgars, bat with odd sprinklings of Arnaats, Tarks and va rious other rsees. In the eastern part of European Turkey, from Phillippopo lis to Kirkilissi, and np to the frontier of Ronmania, the Turks and the Bnl gars are represented in about equal num bers, in hopeless intermixture. At the very edge of the projecting tongne of land which stretches ont toward Con- 1 stantinople there ia an intermixtnre of Turks and Greeks. In the provinoes near the JSgean Sea, Greeks alternate with Turks and Bnlgars. In the dis tricts near the Greek border the Turk 'h, Hellene, Wallachian and Albanese race's form a jumble which it is impossi ble to disentangle. This is only a de scription made in the gross, without en tering into .*be variegated details of the confusion of r3oes often found in many * single town or village. Enough has, however, been said to show what diffi cutties attend all attempts of “solving the Eastern Ulrrrisu mf Railroad OSicrrs.

OLD AND YOUNG PEOPLE. llwe lonian With lira wo Persons Absorb ing Vnntbfnl Vilalii'—Extra ordinary Facto —Banefal Effeeu of Old and Von II People Sleeping Together. [From the New York Mercury.] There is something frightful in the contemplation of the infant mortality in the city of New York, and through the mortuary records attribute death to the various causes that infant flesh is heir to, as set down in medical practice, it ia well known to our learned doctors of medicine that the lives of hundreds SDd even thousands of the helpless little ones are literally sacrificed, their constitu tions and delicate organism irremedia bly mined, through oonstant and Close l ooted With Grows Persooo. This condition of living exists as well in the palaces of the rich as in the abodes of the poor, bat more especially among the latter, who are unable to obtaiu the comforts and conveniences that wealth can supply, and are consequently forced to herd, as it were, in wretched ly ventilated and over-crowded and dirty quarters; and the casual observer, while casting a pitying glance upon the listless faces and almost inanimate forms of the infants when brought out in the morning in the mother’s or nurse’s arms, or trundled np and down the streets in baby carnages, little think the very lives of these “darlmgs” are tctnally fed Upon by the father, mother or other near rela tives, or the nurse, who continually handles tfiem, or in whose bed they are put to sleep. A few hours’ exposure in the open air, with an occasional glimpse of snnlisht, makes a marked change in the physical condition of the little ones, who manufacture vitality so much more rapidly than grown persons; but when they are taken into the house, no small proportion of their life is again sapped away. In this absorption of vitality, children are the heaviest sufferers; yet hundreds of cases are known to the medical world in which grown people have for months, and even for years, led npon the vital forces of relatives but a few years younger than themselves. The medical fraternity, with one accord, de precate the practice that so extensively prevails, of children of tender years sleeping with grown persons, and say that a large percentage of sickness and infantimortality is immediately traceable to this case; and further, in the occu pancy of the same bed for a length of time by a sickly or delicate person and a robust and healthy person, the latter will eventually be the greatest sufferer. Infant Mortality. From January Ist of the present year to date there were 6,604 deaths of chil dren under 5 years of age, 3,656 being males and 2,948 females, while the to tals of all agss for the same period was 14,366. A more thorough examination of the records shows that a large per centage of these deaths were of infants from 6 months to 2 years of aga In conversation with a Mercury reporter yesterday, Dr. Mclntyre, who has given considerable study to the matter, said : “The yearly sacrifice and ruin of ißfanfc life in this and other crowded cities is perfectly frightful, and I have fpund that the constitutions of children en feebled by continual contact with grown persons made them extremely suscepti ble to various infantile disorders. It is a recognized physiological fact that the lives of either men or women on the deolin - ing side of life, say from 50 to 65 that is, of persons who have generally enjoy ed good health—may be prolonged to 78 and evon 100 jears by contact and con stant assooiatiou with robust, healthy, and active children, but it is a down right robbery of the latter of tfiejr lives. It is really the feeding of human npon human, and the rapidity with which the adult consumes the vital force of the younger is enough to stßgger tne sen ses." A Case iu Ppiut. “Do you kuow of any cases ip point?” “One in particular comes to mind, and it was that of a couple who reached a ripe old age, the husband dying at nine ty and the wife at eighty-five, and their lives were unquestionably prolonged many years by absorbing the vitality of two favorite grandchildren, both strong, active and healthy boys. The first boy slept with the old folks several years, but was sent to the country at the age of nine on account of failing health, and that without auy seeming cause, aud soon after bis removal the old gentleman, who had up to that time been quite aCr tive and in possesion of all his faculties, suddenly fell away and died. Then the other brother was especially pettied by the grandmother, an active and healthy old lady, upon whose cheek there re mained almost to the hour of her death the roseate hue of youth. The child shared her bed and was with her much of the day, but at length falling health necessitated his removal. He lost the elasticity of boyhood, grew old in looks, and dwindled away to a shadow, His vital forces were well nigh exhausted, the old lady having absorbed or fed up on them faster than he could manufac ture them. Upon his removal the old lady nearly sapped the life from a robust and healthy Irish girl who had been en gaged to wait upon her; but np to her death, which was occasioned by a sud den colic, she retained possession of gll her faculties, and looked like a woman much younger than she waa.” “What would have been the fate of the boys had they not been removed?’’ “ibey would doubtless, have fallen into a de cline; indeed, one was so threatened, and a strange feature in the case is, that the second boy became prematurely gray. Our whole race might in this fespect be called Hainan Vampires, For we really feed upon the vitality of each other. 1 have such demonstrations of the kind in tho case of man and wife, and was once called upon to attend a husband who had fallen away to a mere shadow of his former self. At tjUcir marriage he was strong and robust and a perfect picture of health, the wife being puny and delicate; but daring several years of married life Phe bad thoroughly absorbed his vitality, and their relative physical conditions were changed. A change was ordered, sud after some years spent in traveling alone, at home and abroad, the gentle man recovered his health- During his absence the wife fed upon the vitality of their three children, absorbing, a* it were, their verjr life blood, or animal magnetism, faster than they conld gen erate. The little ones slept on either side of her, and shto oould not faa pre vailed upon to pat them in separate beds until suoh a change benasje absoutely necessary to save their lives. These children will probably suffer more or less from ill health the rest of their lives. Another case that comes to miud is of two women, residents of this city, one a widow ot at laast flve-and-forty, of rather masculin manners, while the othe lady is about twenty. A year or so ago the two were thrown much into each others oompauy, and the widow became very fond of her. She would sometimes sit at her feet, and while holding her hand, gaze into her eyes and toll her how much she thought of’her. With ihw constant absorption of her animal magnetism, the young lady fell away, and in her weak i ened state oontraoted a severe sickness, i For several days lay tut death's door, and it was not until her companion left; her to seek another victim that she re covered from her illness and regained her health. During the companionship of these two, whenever any other young er ladies called, or any children came iu the widow at once monopolized them, passing her arms about them, jboldjng their hands within her own and gazing earnestly into their eyes, as they talked and chatted. She Is a perfect vampire, and it has been said that abe sapped the vitality from her hu-band, who at their marriage was a strong, healthy man, and looked as if he might reach a ripe old age. I could cite many other similar cases that have come under my observation, bnt this will fully illus trate the matter.” The Vital Nerve-tUeelrh- Foroe, Another physician said: “I do not believe God intended every child should pass throngh diseases which is consider ed the lot of children; but the fact is all the mothers appear to think their chil dren must have the mumps, chicken pox, whooping oongh, measles, scarlet fever, and so on, and the sooner the dar lings have them the better.” “Is not a large peroentage of infant mortality caused by ahildren sleeping with grown persons ?” “On that point 1 should say the habit which is considerably preva lent in every family, of allowing children to sleep with elder" persons, has rained the nervons vitality and physical energy of many a promising child. Those having dear old friends, whose lives they would like to extend, often perpe trate this evil, and a crying evil it is, for by snch acts they sacrifice their inno cent offsprings. It behooves every father and mother who love their children, and who would preserve tliemy one and all, a sound nervous system, with which to buffet successfully the cares, sorrows and labors of life, to see to it that their nervous vitality is not absorbed or stolen away by some diseased or aged relative.” “What comparison do you make, doctor, between the old aud the young ß ” “This: Children, compared with aJralts, are electrically in a positive condition, and the rapid changes which their little bodies constantly undergo abundantly generates and works up vital nervo-elec tric forces; bnt by contact for long nights with older and negative” persons, the vitalizing electricity of their tender organism is given off and they soon pine, grow pale, langnid and dull, while their bed companions feed a correspon ding invigoration.” “May not invalids be benefitted by such'contacts ?” “Oh, yes; invalid mothers often prolong their existence by daily contact with their children. I once knew a young woman who, by weak lungs, had been prostrated with incurable consumption. Her infant occupied the same bed with her almost day and night. The mtther lingered for months od the verge of the grave, her demise being hourly expected. Still she lingered on, daily disproving the predictions of the doctors attending her. The child meanwhile pined away with out any apparant disease. Its once fat cheeks fell away with singular rapidity till the shape of every bone in its face was visible. Finally, the poor little thing had given its last spark of vitality to the mother, and both died at the same moment.” HsMisf His Wife’s Hands fii\. Forty-One Dan- The doctor cited a remarkable case that recently occurred in a town in Mas sachusetts, in which a man had lived forty-one days without taking a morsel of food, daring which period he had been nourished altogether by a little cold water and by the influence which he ab sorbed while daily holding the hands of his wife, who was unremitting in her at tentions to the sufferer. In the course of further conversation the doctor said : “Many old men who tnarry young wives are aware of the nourishing effects of suoh unequal unions, and are not such old fools as many pronounce them, while the yonng women who so marry are bigger fools than they are even reputed to be. Many an old man has thus pro longed his years. Some old ladies, tenacious of life and wickedly regardless of the welfare of others, often coax chil dren, or compel their servants, to sleep with them. Parents should protect their children from a robbery that never can be repaired, and care should be taken to have sickly children sleep in separate beds. ’’ School Touchers and Their Vltalitv. “Don’t school teachers benefit by as sociation with children?” “This absorp tion of the vitality of children is par ticularly noticeable in schools, and I have known many men and women teachers maintained in perfect health for years through their daily contact with the little ones. The teachers generally in onr schools are pictures of health. The living process, call it vitality or magnetism, or nerve force, or what you will, is more active in children, while in adults it is more sluggish. Every run and jump or romp in tumbling of the children at play in the open air manu factures vitality with a rapidity that cannot be calculated, and upon their return to the school-room, where they are compelled to sit with mummy-like quietness, no inconsiderable part of their vital nervo-electrio forces absorbed by the teacher, who during the recess has quietly remained at her desk. At every touch, or look, or caress, the teaoher drinks deeply of the vital forces of her soholars, and it is of no infrequent oc currence for the little ones to return home weary or quite exhausted. It is not from the influence only of sleeping together that these forces are extracted, bat from oonstant association between young and old. I know of a ease in whioh a sparely-formed lady slept one night with a stout lady. The former had always enjoyed good health and never lost her rest, while the other was of a nervous and restless disposition and sluggish in nature. In the morning the stout lady said she slept as if she had taken a narcotic, and never felt better in her life, while her companion was quite exhausted from the Joss of her vital foroes, which bad been drank or absorb *ed by the other." Death of a Child and the Recovery ot the Mother. The writer also learned of a recent case iu which the life of a young child had been completely sapped by its mother who had been an invalid, but the vital foroes thus absorbed had given anew lease of life to the parent. The little one gradually lost its plumpness and sprightilness, and pined away, died sud denly without having any apparent disease. A former member of the Board of Health said that the lives of hundreds of children living in the tenement houses of the city were yearly drank np by their parents, in whose beds they slept, and that the sacrifice of human life traceable to this pause alone was per fectly feared. There is at present living in the Sixth avenue a young woman who weighs about 210 pounds. For several years she was nurse so a number of prominent families in Washington, but it was dis- that while she was growing fat the children were falling away, and their health becoming greptjy impaired. They ate with her and slept with her, Jifid one or another of the little ones were con stantly in her arms, being kissed, cares sed and fondled. A physician who knows of the pasts asserts that she fairly lived off the vital forces pf the children, and it has been ascertained tfoat she was in early years very slight built, upd at no time a large eater, but her obesity com menced soon after she went out nursing. Young Women in Hospital ß ' The introduction of strong, active and healthy young women as nurses in one of our large hospitals, instead of mid dle-aged men and women nurses, has proved of great benefit to the patients, though it has been discovered that the nurses have been the sufferers by the loss of vitality and the taking of their animal magnetism by the sick.

In the locations where human life is safe, and the rights of property are respected, the people are indebted to the moral and social re straints of society, and not to the Gov ernment as mal-administered by Kel logg’s followers.

Indications that Tramhle Will Artec When the Electoral Vote in Cennled Nnxt Year— A Desperate ESort to he Made by the Ad* ministration to Defeat the Will ef the Peo ple. ; [ Washington Special to the Chicago Times ] There is an important fact on record here that haa seemingly escaped the no tice of every one, and yet will probably form the basis of one Pf the most stu pendous rows known in the history of our elections. It is this, the Congress of the United Btates has no joint roles. An explanation ia necessary to show the enormous importance of this omission. To explain, the custom of forming Con gressional rules will be reviewed. No one Congress has any power to pass any code of roles that can bind in any de gree a future Congress. Each one oan, if it so desires, build up for itself a separate oode. This, however, involves too much thinking for the average legislator, so the custom has been for the House and Senate to pass at the outset or opening of every new Congress a formalistio resolntion declaring that the rales of the preced ing body Bhall be the standard of gov ernment for its successor. This involves separate action not concurrent. How ever, there are other rales, and tbis is where the hitch comes. These were joint rales. No one can say that they are now in existence. These joint rales provide, besides certain restrictions npon legislation daring closing days of session, regulations for counting the votes for President. In the old joint rales it is provided that the Senate shall meet in the House of Representatives in the presence of the House, to eonnt this vote. It also says that any one member may object to counting the votes of any State, and that upon snch objec tion the Senate shall retire,and each body shall vote separately npon propositions. The vote of no State shall be coanted except npon a concurrent vote of ap proval from both houses. How the Omission Was Made. The custom about passage of the joint rales of Congress has been for the Honse to pass a formal resolntion first adopt ing them and then send it over to the Senate for approval. This the last House neglected to do. In February the Senate took the initiative and passed a joint resolution declaring the joint rules of the Forty-third CoDgress the joint rules of the Forty-fourth Congress. This eame over to the Hoase and was re ferred to the Committee on Rules. This committee had upon it Kerr as Chair man, Randall, Cox, Banks and Blaine. Owing to the illness of Kerr, and Blaine long lingering under an attaek of Jeems Milligan malaria, this committee never met, so that when the close of its session came the Senate resolntion was not acted upon, and so there are now no joint rales. This oan be all remedied after Congress meets again, bnt one must re member that this is not the wisest time to provide for the counting of a vote after an eleotion. There will be a Dem ocratic House and a Republican Senate to arrange the method of counting the votes, whoever is elected. This does not promise well for harmony. If the vote is close as it is possible that it will be, the Republican Senate will attempt to throw out the vote of every Southern State where cases of outrage have ever happened. To do this they will have to devise new joint rales. The fight be tween the House and Senate npon this very question alone will lead to the most bitter of partisan battles. A Desperate Game. The Republicans are playing a desper ate game. Every day they are massing evidences of the so-oalled fraud and in timidation in the South at the Depart ment of Justice. The action of Boat well’s committee in visiting Mississippi shows how this material is to be used. It is to be used as a lever for the pur pose of throwing ont all the possible States in the South from the general count. But in this it is necessary for them to act with prudenoe. They may throw out so many that while their can didate would be left with a majority, yet would not have the necessary oonstitn tntional majority of all the electoral votes, and then the election of the Pres ident will go into the Honse of Repre sentatives, where the Democratic candi date would at once be reaffirmed. Look at it as ooolly as one can, there are all the elements of a huge fight in it that may threaten serious dangers to our es tablished institutions. Partisan malig nity stops at nothing to carry its selfish ends. With all the elements of states manship eliminated from this fight, there is danger indeed. The expe rienced Journal Clerk of the Honse of Representatives is the authority for the statement that there are now no joint rules to govern Congressional action. A GREAT RACE 11UHSE. Harper’s Colt Ten Broeek, at Louisville, Repts Vpllowcraft’g Time—Four Miles in Ji 16 31-VTiieWlimw.j Louisville, Ky., September 27.—This was the extra day of the Louisville Jock ey Club’s Fall racing meeting, and it proved replete with surprises and aston ishing events. The weather was 000 l and bright, just of that bracing nature to entice a large crowd to the race track, particularly as Harper’s famous oolt, Ten Broeek, was to make his ran against time, dash of four miles. While there were many strangers present, thousands of home peqple provided the stands and place of vantage, making ttye enclosure seem like a bustling, busy world of its own. Crouse’ bay colt Add also made the attempt with Ten Rroepk. The trial reanlted in U marvellous success, for Ten Broeek ran the distanpe in the remarkable time of 7:155, beating Fel loworaft’s great Saratoga heat of 7:19$ just 3$ seconds, while it is fonr seconds quicker than Lexington’s time in New Qrleans in 1855. Besides this there was a awpepstufces for two-year-olds, dash of one mile, and pursp of JRfiO, for all ages, heats of three-quarters of a mile. Tire two-year-old event was won by the bay filly Belle of the Meade in 1:445, the fastest on record for the age. The heat race was oaptured by Eastern Planet. association having offered a special purse of $f1,040 to beat Fellow craft’s time of 7:195, four miles, made Ut Saratoga August 20,1874, there were two entries— p. R. ~ Rarper’s bay colt Ten Broeek, 4 years, by imported Phmton, dam Fanny Holton, ana D. J. Croase’s bay colt Add, 4 years, by Re volver, dam Skylight. Each carried 104 pounds.

THE WORDS OF CAROLINA’S LIB ERATOR. The Flgfct For Deliverance—Uauipion in Ma rio*—The Swamp-Fax Country Aroused— The Next Governor’s Speech— Nehle Words Enthusiastically Received. [New* and Courier's Report.] At 11 o’clock, the speakers having as cended the stand, Mr. J. D. McLucas, the Chairman of the county, introduced to the assembled multitude General Wade Hampton, the next Governor of South Carolina. General Hampton spoke in substance as follows : My Friends of Marion —lt has been eight long years sinoe I stood npon this spot to address yon npon a grand occa sion. Since those years have rolled by we have had sorrow, suffering and hu miliation throughout our broad land. In all these weary years I have some time thought that the spirit of Carolina waa dead; that her grand traditions had been forgotten, and that even the hope of the people had vanished, and that all were to sink into apathy and despair. But amid ail the gloom there was one hope that came baok to me, and that was that I knew that in the hearts of the women of Carolina there was faith and determination, and I believed that the sons of Carolina conld never submit to degradation while they had the noble example of their women to uphold them. Once more, my friends, it is my good fortune to stand among you,*nd I come now to plead a cause a thousand fold more dear to our hearts than when I came last before yon. I come to plead the cause of South Carolina. I come to appeal to every South Carolinian; to every man born upon this soil or who has made it his home ; to all, white and black, to join in one grand, noble effort to redeem the State. And if there was ever a cause that appeals to the hearts of freemen yon have it now; ad lam assured, I feel it, I know it, here as elsewhere, that the grand spirit which is rising throughout the whole State will continue to spread. I feel and know that the people are thoroughly aroused; I know that this is not a movement of leaders, but the pnlsation of the great universal heart of South Carolina, de manding reform and home rule. It is the pulsation of this great heart of hers that summons forth these immense and spontaneous gatherings, and I have seen brave men enough on my march to as sure you that victory is secure. [lm mense applause.] General Hampton then rehearsed in glowing terms the history of his trium phant march from the Piedmont region of the Blue Ridge down to the fertile fields of the Peedee, and recounting amid thunders of applause the signal victories that had crowned his every ef fort. I feel assured, said he, that if this spirit continues, if our people will only work as we desire them to work, there can be no possible doubt of sue oess. And now, my friends of Marion, I wish to say a word to yon of the plan upon which we have and propose to pursue in this canvass. I know that there are old soldiers enough present for me to feel assured that they will re cognize the truth of what I say—that there can be no success in any army without discipline. I care not what their spirit may be, if they do not obey orders everything will be in vain. Your representatives in Convention assembled have placed me in command. I did not seek that position. Yon all kuow that had it been left to me I would have de clined. But I recognized my duty to the State. I recognized her dnty to command me as any of her sons, and having recognized that voice that I have never disobeyed, I accepted the position. Yon have placed me in command, and I have the right to ask your attention to what I shall say. From our souroes of information we can know better than any one else what is required t j be done, and I desire that you shall obey the re- quest that we make of you. [Cries of your word is law. ] We have inaugura ted a conservative, energetio and peace ful canvass. We know that our enemies desire above all things in this world that there shall be riot and bloodshed throughout the State. We know that they desire it, and we know that they will stiek at nothing to bring it about. Geu. Hampton then referred to a letter from Ames, of Mississippi, in which he had told the Radical leaders that it would be a good thing for their cause if twenty or thirty negroes were killed, as it would furnish grist for the outrage mill. That the Democrats intended to enslave the colored people, and that if they could raise the cry of the bloody shirt before the North, the success of the party in Louisiana was ensured. And, continued General Hampton, I never did what my enemies wanted me to do, and I generally succeeded in making them do what I wanted. [Cheers, ] And this is what wu must do in this can vass. It is of the utmost importance that the canvass should be peaceable. AU bloodshed must be avoided, and I say to you that the people of Charles ton in the late riot in that city behaved magnificently in refusing to enter into a conflict which must have ended in the death of thousands of colored people, and in the fact that the white men protected the colored men with their lives. It has shown the North that we are earnest in our declarations of peace, and it shows above everything else that the white people of South Car olina have offered to every colored man who comes to their support fall protec tion, even at the post of their lives. And I call upon you here and every where to see to it, that if onr colored friends join us, if they will put aside their party prejudices, and say we mean to have harmony and peace, and union, we want to build up the old State, we want to see peace and prosperity; if they come to ns and say that, proteot them, men of South Carolina, proteot them even with your blood. Show them, by the highest evidence in your power that you are their friends, and J tejl you, mpu of Ma rion, they will join you as they have joined us in every county in the State. It was only a few days ago, at a wayside meeting, six hundred colored men en rolled themselves under our banner. Do you mean to say that it oannot be done here ? I know that it can. Every man in the county must make himself a com mittee of one, He must go to his color ed neigtfbflt ap4 explain ans show his, and prove to liijn that the interests of the white and black men of South Caro lina are identioal. He must show them that nothing separates us bnt the infer nal teachings of corrupt carpet-baggers. He must show them that if they join us they will be protected. We cannot go into all of these de tails, but they are on the record. Yon oan prove them. Say to the colored man here is the platform ijdoptpd by South Carolina, it is so broad and so strong and liberal that every man can stand upon ft, white or black, Democrat or Republican. Say to them that under that platform is pledged as I am pledged, and f reiterate ffere to day tjie pledge that $ haye go often made before: '‘ln tfte presence pf the people of &outft Carolina, ans in tfye presence of my Ood, I pledge myself that if elected 1 shall know no party, no race, no color or condition in the administration of the laws. I shall be Governor of the entire people of South Carolina .” When you go to the color ed people and tell them these pledges, and show tjjera what they have to ex pect and what 'haa {beep dope for them in the past, jrotf : Bur Cly wfll reaih 1 them. Gen. Hampton then went on to show, as he had done at Abbeville, Darling ton, Cheraw and other points, that while, in 1865, he was tffe first man to advo cate giying to the polprea rape the fight to vote, Morton and Andrew, and even Lincoln himself, were speakmg and writing letters bitterly opposing it, and that thp negroes not be allowed to vote fqr twenty years, taking the ground tbkt they W 6 ?® hit then fit to vote, 'bn* that ip twenty years a suf ficient number of Northern white men would have flocked down to the South to control them and render their voting a matter of no great consequence to any one. Re then went on to say that it was the interest of the Southern wnite man to give to the negroes fall and free suffrage, for with the 800,000 colored votes added to the 1,600,000 white votes, would unite the South and render her more powerful, more independent, more prosperous than she had ever been, or ever could bb, under the institution of slavery. These Northern men, he said, who are now blatant in yoqr cause were the men who, in 18g5 were plotting against yonr rights, and yet to-day they mil me an unreconstructed rebel. I have stood on that platform until now—until every white man in Soath Carolina has ascend ed with me. I cannot give better proof of my sinoerity. I have never attempted to deceive a colored man, and I say here that, in my opinion, any candidate that would sink so low as to deceive a colored man is unworthy of the name of “man.” I have told you what has been my record, I have told you what we propose to do if elected, and I have told yon in all earnestness that very much of the future depends npon your coarse of notion now. X have told the eolored people that the men who own the laud, the men who pay the taxes, the men who have the title deeds from the Almighty, will take you by the hand as their Mends if you oome with them and help them to redeem the State. But they say, on the other hand, if you do not come with them, and rather go with the corrupt ore* who have, for eight years, ruled and rained the State, then yon will have to look to them for yonr living and protection. We offer to the colored people the right hsnd of fellow ship; we bold out to them the olive branch of peaoe, bat you cannot expect ns, when you allow your State to be dragged down to infamous ruin by alien adventurers, to help you who have been the cause of all the suffering which will assuredly follow. We give you your choice now—either to come with your white friends, who never have deceived you, or to go with the carget-baggers, who have deeeiv3d and plundered you for eight years. If you think your carpet-bag friends are right, then, when your trouble comes, go to them for the help and protection you will assuredly need. We say this in no spirit of intimidation, but in pre cisely the sense in which a gentleman, in Greenville, the other day, told his hands that the taxes were so high that he would not be able hire them the next year. I shall not, said this gentleman, be able to plant at all if the Republican party gets into power again.. But so sure am I that the taxes will be reduced and the prosperity of the county in creased, that if the Democratic party gets into power I will pay you $3 more per month next year. He did not say that if they voted the Democratic ticket he would pay them higher wages, but simply if that party got into power he would do so, showing how certain he was that under home rule the prosperity of the State would be insured. That man meant business, and that is what we mean, we mean business. [Loud cheering.] Just as I arrived here, I re ceived the New York Herald. You all know that this paper, when I was nomi nated, said that the Democracy had made a great blunder, and that they should hive supported Chamberlain. Now you know that the men who run the New York Herald, the greatest paper perhaps in the world, are the cleverest people to find out which way the wind is blowing. You will always find them on the winning side. General Hampton here read, amid the wildest enthusiasm, the editorial headed, “Advice to Colored Men,” in the New York Herald of the 29th of September. Gen. Hampton then went on to show in the same connection how all the prominent Bepublicans in the State had cut loose from the rotten ship and en rolled themselves under the banner of Reform. And, said he, we do not ask them to throwaway an ounce of their National Republicanism. Let them vote for Hayes and Wheeler. We welcome every man who is working for the re demption of South Carolina. We don’t care whether he is black or white, Demoorat or Republican ; and if ho joins heart and hand to save the State we don’t care one cent whether he votes for Hayes, Wheeler or anybody else. After calling over the names of the pro minent Republican candidates, and af ter showing the colored people how for eight years the white Democracy of South Carolina had thrown away party prejudices and voted with that wing of the Republican party which promised reform, he called upon them likewise to throw away their party prejudices and to vote with the native white people onoe, to give to them one chance, and if they did not redeem the State and fulfill all their pledges to the colored people they were strong enough to hurl them from place and power. He next alluded to the riotous condi tion of affairs all over the State and es pecially touched upon the outrages com mitted by the Combakee strikers upon their own class of people, whose only crime was that they were willing to work. These outraged colored men, he said, had written again and again to Governor Chamberlain to protect them and he turns to them a deaf ear. He dared not go there and runs to Wash ington. I say here that if Governor Chamberlain will call on me and give me the authority for three days, I pledge myself to go amongst those Combahee rioters, not armed with even a pen knife, and I further pledge myself that they will listen to me and order will be restored in twenty-four hours. [lm mense cheering]. If, continued General Hampton, you will all come together, if the old men as they are doing, and the young men will all come together with the prayers cf our noble women, I tell you just so sure as the sun sets in the western horizon on the 7th of November next, so sure will you see your old State risen from her humiliation, proud, hap py, prosperous, spreading her protecting arms 'over a wide and united people, clasping them all to her heart and giv ing a mother’s blessing to them all. [lmmense cheering]. THE BAR ROOMS OF BALTIMORE. Some Startling Facts Concerning the Con gumption of Whisky. [Baltimore American.] Baltimore city is remarkable in many ways, and particularly in possessing more places where the thirsty can step aside and take a little spirits for the stomach’s sake, than any other city of the same size in the Union or probably in the world. This is rather a startling assertion, but it is borne out by figures that are even more startling, and which show that with a population of 300,000 it has 2,000 saloons, or a drinking place for every 150 of its inhabitants. This number of saloons includes the grocery stores where liquor is sold in quantities of not less than one pint, but to a Balti more toper a pint is only a drink, and common groceries may be classed under the head of drinking places with more propriety, because in the comparison carried out below such stores are in cluded in Tl,e Statistics of Other Cities. New York with a population approxi mating 1,000,000, has 5,700 saloons, or one to every 175 of its inhabitants. Chicago, naughty, wicked Chicago, with nearly 500,000 population, has about 2,000 saloons, or one to every 250 inhab itants. Boston, with 300,000 inhabi tants, 1,200 saloons, or one to every 291 inhabitants. Cincinnati, with about 325,000 population, and its large Ger man beer drinking element, oomes pret ty olose to Baltimore, 2,100 saloons, or one to every 155 inhabitants, and Phila delphia shows, with a population of about 600,000, 2,700 saloons, or one to every 220 of its inhabitants. These comparisons might be carried put in definately, and with eaoh new compari son would come up more for Baltimore to blqsh for its intemperance. The flgqres given of the number of places, or places where liquor oan be purchased, is far in excess of the report but they were taken from the re oord of the license department of the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas, and are attested by the receipt of $90,000 annually by the city for licenses. To go a little further into figures an i make an estimate of the number ip each 150 who drink might exhibit the intem perate habits of oar people in a still stronger light, but this would necessari ly be a mere speculation. It may be concluded that either a few persons drink immense quantities of intoxicat ing liquors, or else the tippling habit must be exceedingly qoiqmqn, to sup port the 2,QQQ sglqqus annually licensed by the city. of the Business, Saloon keepers make immense profits on their sales. To be charitable to the saloon keeper, it may be said, for the purpose of getting a data, that he pays on an average 88 cents per gallon for whisky which he sells without dilution. Eighty-eight cents oncgallouiß 11 cents for qne pint. The glasses gener ally qsefi in bar rooms are called third pints, and will hold that fraction of a pint. For any reasonable toper to fill his glass more then one-third full would be a breach of bar room etiquette not to he parsed by without remark. So it may be said that the tippler, as a rule, takes one-third of a glass that is one third of a pint-, '"inch cost the aelier 11 eo, :ts, or 129 cents Jew tne drink for which the imbiber pays 15 cents for one, or 35 cents for two; or if he puts down half a dollar for two, he will probably not get but 20 cents back. So that the barkeeper gets back, on a basis of 121 oents selling price, the price paid 10 5-22 times. Oat of this profit mast be de ducted rent, gas, bad debts, interest on investment, license, and pqssibly some thing for a higher priced whisky, bnt he can make all that hy dilation. It is the immense profits that tempt so many men to follow the business, bat they do not all get rich, for the reason that sa loon keeping is pverdone. Bars Are, as a rule, the most lucrative. A great many drinks are sent to rooms, and charged at the rate of 20 or 25 cents a drink, in which case the profits are immoderately increased. Tayfbr’s bar room, at the Pennsylvania Depot, at Jersey City, is understood to have made fortunes for its several owners, and is considered the best paying in stitution of the kind in the country.— It of coarse draws largely upon the rail road custom for its dividends, and fre quently it sells as high as 300 pint bot tles of whisky to travellers, who pay therefor sl. If there were only a few first-class saloons the injury would be greatly curtailed. Jake seeks like, and the drunkard as he descends the scale of respectability changes his associate/ at the high prioed salbon, to one of less pretentions, and he gradually sinks low er and lower until he finally reaches the gutter from the door of a low den in a disreputable street. Bar keepers, as a general rule, are polite, more than well dressed, and appear to those who are not acquainted with the guild models of good manners and gentlemanly be havior. The best way for aDy one to disabuse his mind of any snoh impres sion is to take a drink and then with a start say, “By George, that's fanny; left it on th.e piano; by Jove ! hang that np, Billy. It is probable that no person has a better opportunity of studying human nature. His duty is to wait on drunken men, and he hears the conversation of judges, dootors, mer chants’ politicians and statesmen, when the wine being in, “thewit is out,”as the old adage hath it. He can judge of a man’s wealth by the number of times he gets trusted and the infre quency with which he settles. He can judge of the treatment a man extends his family by the hours he stays out at night, and he can make a Bhrewd guess as to how long the clerk on the next street will bold his plape. Alone at midnight the stranger oomes in and drinks and then tells a long story, which is not at all interesting to the bar keeper, but he must listen and conceal the fact that he is bored. Said a gentleman the other day, “If men would only restrain their whisky ap petites to the same extent that whisky dealers restrain what at times must be a feeling of disgust for their trade, how many of these blocks of bar rooms would be seen in Baltimore in less than three months ?” uranium; a slanderer. A Brief Biography of Fred. A. Palmer, of Aiken—The Agent of Keysor, of the Tam many Ring—Paluier’a Afllnity—Free-Love and Communiam—lnciting Riot and Rapine. [ Correspondence Neios and Courier .] Aiken, October I.—My attention has been attracted to a lengthly letter from Fred. A. Palmer, of Montmorenei, in this county, to the New York Times, of Wednesday last. Knowing the man well from his reputation in this section, and knowing the letter to be an ingenious tissue of truth and falsehood, in which the latter largely predominates, and tnat the fears and apprehension whioh he has expressed for his personal safety and the well being of the colored race have only sprung from his own timid nature and from a conscience heavily laden with the consciousness of evil wrought to the whole people of this section, white and colored, it seems sur prising to us here that a journal having the position and fair pretensions of the Times either with full knowledge of the writer’s character or without an inquiry into the same, would print the scanda lous letter and introduce it with the sensational heading with which it ap pears. A little over two years ago a man by the name of J. H. Keysor, who was one of the Tweed Ring, and had been in dicted for fraud in a plumbing bill, came here from New York and invested $5,000 of his ill-gotten gains in real es tate in this county. He commenced some planting operations, and shortly after sent down this I*'. A. Palmer os his agent, and, it is said, the property was soon transferred to Palmer for some nominal price. Palmer is a native of Massachusetts, and, before he determin ed to come South to imbue the igno rant negro’s mind with his inflammato ry doctrines, he had engaged in a. varie ty of occupations, seeking, as it seems so far without success, his “trne affin ity.” At one time he was a temperance lecturer. Now, from the regularity with which he drives his wife up every day to an Aiken beer saloon, it may fairly be presumed that he has long since seen the error of his oourse and repented. He is a strong believer in spiritualism; and is one of the free-love school in theory and praotice. I am told that some years ago he went to Florida and married the daughter of a wealthy man, but finding out after his marriage, and after he had got posses sion of her property, that she was not his “affinity,” he separated from her and went North again, and met up with his present wife, who seems at present to meet all the requirements of his spiritual nature, who was also separated from her husbaud who was noi her “af finity,” and she subsequently obtained some little notoriety in the world of soandal by her oonneotion with the Beecher-Tilton case as a witness. Pal mer is also an advocate for Woman’s rights and suffrage, and is the Secretary of the United Party, a Oommunistio As sociation, the object of whioh, as ap pears by a pamphlet in my hands, is to redistribute accumulated and accumu lating wealth by a system of graduated taxation, charging from one-quarter per cent, on estates between two and ten thousand dollars or fifty per cent, on five millions or over. Property under two thousand dollars is exempt from taxation. He calls himself the magnetic physician, and is the patentee of Palm er’s Esoulapian magnetic remedies. In conversation with gentlemen here he announced his belief that he was in part the son of Christ. He believes in a kind of transmigration, and informed this gentleman that Napoleon Bonaparte was formerly Esau. He said that the reason why he oame to South Carolina and allied himself to the Republican party was that the negro oould be more easily impressed with his views or more easily unified, and that through them he hoped to get into position and make this State the first field for putting into operation the theories of “the United Party.” Though not a preacher by pro fession, and refused admission into the pulpit by u colored (Radical) minister of this town, he goes all over the coun try and knowing the superstitious and religious impressibility of the people, he has continually been preaoliing to them, under the guise and sanctity of a minister of the gospel, all hi 9 theories of free love, spiritualism and commun ism, filling their ignorant hearts with such discontent and evil imaginings as in France under fanatic leaders like himself produced the terrors of one de volution and threatened to afilict the Empire but a short time ago with the burning, rapine, pillage and bloodshed of a second. Is it to be wondered at that, with such harangues, however cun ningly and warily made, Aiken oonnty, heretofore entirely free from such dis graces, should, since this Palmer’s ad vent, have over thirty gin houses, barns and private dwellings burnt down by negro incendiaries ? One prominent Republican said to me to-day that he believed Palmer to be a lunatic; that Chamberlain had confessed fears as to his vicious influence, and that Elliott qad said that he was demor alising the ignorant olasses with his revolutionary doctrines. Another said, “he is a firebrand and an incendiary oreatnre in this community,” while both pledge themselves, for the safety of their own property and their own party and the oolored people, to oppose the strong effort which he is now making to secure the appointment of Deputy Uni ted States Marshal (or this county, and also for a nomination for the Legisla ture from the County Convention which meets here on Wednesday next. His own party is down upon him, but through the influence he has gained over the negro voters (for though pro fessedly a farmer, he is always traveling about as he acknowledges “riding hun dreds of miles among the colored peo ple,M and speaking everywhere to them in public), he has succeeded in getting position in the Badioal committee of the county, and with this foothold is working his way np higher. This is the character of the man. 'Pile Vennaet at the Pari* Salon. [Grace Gretnuxxxl in the Mew York Times.] The next characteristic feature of the Salon of this year was the appalling ar ray of nude women, mostly vnlgar Ve nuses of the Mabille and the Valentin, born of no cleaner foam than that of the Seine in flood time, abont whom never hovered a dove or a love. Eves who have never fallen, because they have never been pure—conscious, but un blushing. Some of these Cyprians were after the fleshy school of Rubens, but without a certain healthiness of tone and contour, the honest voluptuousness, a sort of respectable sensuality which belong to the grossest of his women; some were mince and meagre, as though wasted by alternate privation and dissipation, and all stood forth, seemed ready to strive forth, bold and bare, and unrelieved, Yet so much was in the air and posing of these figures that it seemed to me they would have been immodest, had they been muffled up to the chin in rich stuffs. Only one was so clothed upon with loveliness, and a certain cool, still atmosphere of consciousness, if not of absolute purity, that yon did not find her nude. The above was a Venus, who had about her something of the wholesome air of the sea—a saline crispness and cleanliness and sparkle, with pearly tones in the skin, and unfathomable bine in her eyes. She alone belonged that poetic, classic, morally negative, realm wherein there is neither virtue nor sin, shame nor shamefnlness.

Office South Fuobida Land Agency, I Fobt Mason, Orange County, Florida, f THE undersigned have entered into a busi ness arrangement for the purpose of lo cating settlers on the publio lands (either United States or State) in this and adjoining counties. Located in the most delightful portions of Orange county, in a seotion of territory con ceded by all to be the best adapted to the cul ture of the orange and kindred fruits, and thoroughly acquainted with all the lands in this vioinity, we are better able to give information oonoerning the lands still vacant than any others engaged in the land business in this county. The railroad now in oourse of construction connecting the St. John’s river at Lake George with Lakes Harris, Eustis, Griffin, Dora an* the other headwater lakes of the Ool&waha river, will furnish all the surrounding lands, with ample transportation facilities and place settlers within easy distance of the Northern and Eastern markets. THE CLIMATIC ADVANTAGES Of this section of territory are so well known as scarcely to need recapitulation. Veget ables and tropical fruits oan be grown throughout the year without danger from cold. The severest frosts of this lake region do not in jure vegetation, as was proven daring the past Winter, when the frosts kiUed early vegetables at considerable distances south of us and left this region untouched—not a blade of grass being injured. HOMESTEADS NEAR THE RAILROAD. We are now prepared to looate settlers on the publio lands in close proximity to the railroad. One ef tho undersigned (Mr. John S. Banks) has just oompleted a thorough survey of a large traot of United States lands, situated at from three to six miles distance from the rail road. These lands are not only admirably adapted to the culture of oranges, but are also excellent for fanning purposes, and can be easily brought into cultivation, the old settlers in the vicinity raising an abundant supply of corn, cotton, sugar, eto., upon them. GET A HOMESTEAD NOW. Parties who propose settling in Florida wifi find it greatly to their advantage to obtain their homesteads during the Summer months, and thus avoid the rush of the Fall months. Those desiring to locate near the railroad will obtain ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES FREE If their entry is made before the completion of the road. After its completion, which will be some time this coming Fall,they will not be per mitted to enter more than eighty acres. Persons locating during the Summer can also get their lands in readiness for a crop of early vege tables next Winter, and thus be enabled to re alize a profit from the lands immediately. We. are now PBEPARED TO LOCATE SETTLERS, Singly or in colonies, at moderate rates, and in every case we guarantee complete satisfaction. No lands will bo located by us uutil one of us have thoroughly surveyed them, and in all oases our petrous shall be given the best tracts of which we have any knowledge, without favoritism or partiality being shown to any one. STATE LANDS. We are alao prepared to locate, survey and purchase any desired quantity of State lands, and will perform this work either for a speci fied price in money or for an agreed upon per centum of land. We now have some choice pieces of State land marked out ou our maps, which have been surveyed by us, and which, are among the best lands in this State. FURTHER DETAILS Can be obtained bv addressing (with stamp en closed for reply) the undersigned. Prompt at tention given to all letters. Address BANKS A ST. CLAIR-ABRAMB, Fort Mason, Orange county, Florida. To My Friends An Georgia, ilabiu ani South Carolina. In response to many letters received by me, I have entered into a business arrangement with Mr. JOHN 8. BANKS for the purpose of locating settlers on the public lands of this and adjoining oounties. Mr. BANKS is a prac tical surveyor of many years’ experience, and possesses a thorough knowledge of tho public lauds, having been United States Register of Public Lands in this Btate. We have ex plored and surveyed a considerable tract of these lands, and we are now prepared to locate, settlers on CHOICE HOMESTEADS. Many persons have written me expressing a desire to move to this State during the present year. These I would advise to OBTAIN THEIR HOMESTEADS NOW. In the Fall months the rush of Northern settlers is so great that it is difficult to obtain choice homesteads; whereas at present the travel is light, and one can se lect a place with greater ease. In addition, the large tract of homlstead lands contiguous to the railroad, recently surveyed and opened up for settlement by Mr. BANKS, if not en tered this Summer will inevitably be taken up by the first influx of Northern travelers next Fall. As my desire (without prejudice to Northern settlers) is to locate the numerous citizens of the States above nam°d on choice Homesteads, while able to do so, I urge them to make the selections at once, and thus se cure valuable and eligible homes in this State ALEX.
