triumph.
BY H. H.
Not he who rides through conquered citj’e
At head of blazoned hoete, and to the sound
Of victor’s trumpets, in full pomp Mad state
Of war, the utmost pitch has dreamed or
found . , ,
To which the thriU of triumph can be
wound;
Nor he who by a nation's vast acclaim
Is sudden sought and singled out alone,
And while the people madly shout his name,
With a conscious purpose of hi* own.
Is swung and lifted to the nation’s throne.
But he who has all single-handed stood
With foes invisible on every side,
And. unsuspected of the multitude,
The force of fate itself has dared, defied
And conquered silently.
Ah, that soul knows .... .
In what white heat the blood of triumph
flows.
LIFE’S WEST WINDOWS.
We stand at life’s west windows,
And think of the years that have gone ;
Remembering the coming sunset,
We too must remember the morn ;
But the sun will set, the day will close,
And an end will come to all our woes.
As we watch from the western casements,
Reviewing our happy youth.
We in jure for i's vanished promise
Of honor, ambition and truth ;
But hopes will fail and pride decay,
When we think how soon we must away.
Wo stand at life’s west windows,
And tum not sadly away,
To watch on our children’s faces
The noontide c f sparkling day ;
But our sun must set. our lips grow dumb
And to look from our windows our children
come.
Htill looking from life's west windows,
And wo know we would DOt again
Look forth from the eastern lattice,
And live over all life’s pain;
Though life’s sunrise be brilliant, its sunset is
Rince it brings longed for rest to our weary
feet. . [
LITTLE BY LITTLE.
•‘Little by little." the torrent said,
As it swept along its narrow bod,
Chafing in wrath and pnde, it
“Little by littleand “day by day,
And with every w*ve it bore aw*y
A grain of sand from the banks which lay
Like gramto walls on either side.
It came again, and the rushing tide
Covered the valley far and wide,
For the mighty banks were gone.
A grain at a time they were swept away,
And now the field and meadows lay
Under the waves, for the work was done.
“Little by little the tempter said,
Asa dark and cunning snare he spread
For the young, unwary feet.
“Little by little,” and “day by day,

Into the broad and flowery way.
Until the ruin is made complete.
“Little by litt'e,” sure and slow,
We fashion our future of bliss or woe
As the present passes away. ....

Up to the region of endless light,

BARRIERS.
; lot ween thy life and mine
Rugged and strong, resistless barriers rise;
l>av after day they show a sterner front
Uplifted to the skies,
Hhutting me out from thee.
Ofltimes tliero comes a blinding mist and rain,
But t irough the darkest, thickest cloud I know
The sun will shine again I
Between thy life and mine
WulWn and cold the turbid waters roll:
Beneath their angry waves hope s bark was
wrecked .... ,
Long e’er it reached its goal.
Yet in the quiet deep
“Faith’s anchor holds” fast with its golden
Binding two hearts, that else would drift away
Upon a sea of pain 1
Between thy life and mine
Htratches afar a wide and dreary plain.
Across the waste wo gaze with longing eyes ;
Heart cries to heart—in vam ;
The echoes answer back
“In vain, in vainand so we turn away,
■With one long, shivering sigh of agoDy,
In loneliness to stray !
Between thy life and mine
Tbs hand of fate has woven some bright
Whose glittering radiance thro’ these shadowed
days . ,
A steadfast lustre sheds.
Parted though we must be,
These golden fibres shall our hearts entwine,
The sweetness of uuspoksu sympathy
Blending tby life and mine.

A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW.
Ttwesiuging Hea of human life forever onward
tolls, , „ , , . .
And bears to the eternal shore its daily freight
of sonle.
Though bravely sails our bark to-day, pale
Death sits at the prow.
And few shall know we ever lived a hundred
years from now.
O mighty human brotherhood! why fiercely war
and atrive,
While God'a great world has ample space for
everything alive ?
Broad fields, uncultured and unclaimed, are
waiting for the plow
Of prograt-H that shall make them bloom a hun
dred years from now.
Why should we try so earnestly in life's short,
narrow span,
Of golden stairs to climb so high above onr
brother man ?
Why blindly at an earthly shrine in slavish
homage bow ? a
Our gold will rust.oursolves be dust a hundred
years from now.
We prize so much the world's applause ? Why
dread so much its blame ?
A fleeting echo is its voice of censure or of
fame ;
The praise that thrills the heart, the scorn that
dye with shame the brow,
Will be as long forgotten dreams a hundred
years from now.
O patient hearts, that meokly bear your weary
load of wrong!
O earnest hearts, that bravely dare, and,
striving, grow more strong !
l’ress on till perfect peace is won; you'll never
dream of how
Yon struggled o'er life's thorny road a hun
dred years from now.
Grand, lofty souls, who live and toil that free
dom, right aud truth
Alone may rule the universe for you is endless
vouth !
When 'mid the blest, with God you rest, the
grateful land shall bow
Above your clay in rev'rent love a hundred
years from now.
Earth's empires rise and fall. Time ! like
breakers on thy shore ;
They rush npon thy rocks of doom go dowu,
and are no more ;
The starry wilderness of worlds that gem
night's radiant brow
Will light the skies for other eyes a hundred
years from now.
Onr Father, to whose sleepless eyes the past
and future stand
Au open page, like baqes we oling to thy pro- j
teotuig hand;
Change, sorrow, death are naught to us if we 1
may safely bow
Beneath the shadow of thy throne, a hundred

He Corrects the Report of His Conversation ;
With Mr. Fish—What He Did Say.
Washington, March 24.—Hon. A. H.
Stephens sent for Senator Gordon, of
Georgia, to-day, and desired him to cor
rect the report of a conversation be
tween himself and Mr. Fish, late Secre
tary of State. Mr. Stephens stated that
be did not see the report until his atten
tion was called to it; that the report in
many respects was incorrect. What ho
did say was, in substance,that the South
needed more than anything else home
rule and riddance of the evil of carpet
bagger office holders. In reference to
President Hayes, Mr. Stephens said that
if he aimed at a pacification of the coun
try it would require great firmness on
his part in adhering to the principles of
his inaugural address. What was want
ed was uou-iutervention and the with
drawal of the troops from the support
of either government in South Caroling
or Louisiana. He also said that in con
ferring offices in the Southern States the
President should look to those men who
had the confilence of the people of the
Southern States, without reference to
present political creeds or association.
Ho should do as Washington did in the
beginning. He appointed Hamilton and
Jefferson both as members of his Cabi
net. when he knew that they were dra
metrciallvopposed in political principles.
Mr. Stephens said in the appointment of
Mr Kev the President had initiated the
example, and if. in his appointments .to
all other offices, he should pursue this
line of policy, be might do vast good,
and secure real peace sad union. Hut
in order to do this, he must lose sight of
the juterest of his party, kee P
in Tie w the great idea of securing the
best me.i for office, and romping anr
mosity the people
the prosperity and preserving the peace,
harmony and liberty of the conn ry.

CHAPTER MI—CONTINUED.
Captain Kornfaessel, who, during hia j
struggles in the thicket, had formed an
unwavering resolution to make his in
considerate First Lieutenant feel the
whole weight of his shaken confidence,
was most indignantly surprised when he
stepped upon the platform and only the
tiresome face of his Second Lieutenant
greeted him with a jovial smile.
“Where ia Walden ?” asked her stern
ly. “He has requested me to take bis j
tour of duty for a few hours. He j
seemed to have been somewhat chilled.”
Kornfaessel walked impatiently up j
and down the platform. Until now,
Walden had been most careful to keep
the friendly relations which existed be-1
tween himßelf and the Captain entirely ■
separate from his official intercourse,
and usually in his delicacy had gone |
farther than Kornfaessel wished. There- j
tore, he was the more astonished that'
the ’ first lieutenant now all at once
seemed to throw aside the considera
tion which was due to his superior ; j
and as the Captain himself was more I
good natured and eccentric, than truly ,
refined and cultivated, he forgot that it j
was Walden’s subordinate to whom he
Bpoke.
“The Lieutenant has all at once be- j
come quite capricious and reserved, only
in my opinion, he has selected a very
unfortunate time for it.” ]
Mihalasy shrugged his shoulders with
a significant smile.
“Walden believes in the war as little
as I do, and as for the rest, we are all
men.”
The Captain stood looking at the
Lieutenant searchingly, and then asked
do you mean to say by that ?
You have once before to-day made a
strange remark about ‘travelling adven
tures’or something similar.”
Mihalasy’s expession seemc-d to indi
cate that prudence would not permit
him to make any farther communication,
but the Captain walked close up to him
and said in the most determined voice,
while his eyes almost hid themselves un
der his brows, and every feature of his
face worked convulsively:
“Out with it! What is the matter
with Walden ? The seriousness of the
situation, which our over-wise yoUDg
gentlemen may believe in or not, makes
. it my right as well as my duty to know
what my officers are doing”—
“Now, now,” said Mihalasy laughing,
“the lady who yesterday afternoon
(when the Captain was planning a per
manent fortification), drove to the red
house and alighted there, had quite a
true imperial look, and the waiting
maid was not b and either. You must
j know the large red house ala Doges
| palace where the foolish Count lived,
who was such a violent Italian, and ac
tually went away from here because he
! could not bear to s-e the imperial uui
forms. I must confess I would rutner
j look at the neat occupant, than at him
with his “dagger fsou,”
In spite of the jesting tone, which al
ways seemed to the lieutenant must ap-.
propriate for earnest occasions, the i
captain remained perfectly serious, and j
asked abruptly :
“The lady was tall, not very len-;
der—” , !
“Dragoon size," hastily interrupted |
Mihalasy. who felt in his native element,
“Slender? He* waist can no longer bo
spanned with two hands, but at the same
time her figure is perfectly proportioned
and very graceful— How she sprung
out of the carriage j Really the waiting
maid was not bad either^.”
“Bright color, and quick in her pave
ments, brown eyes, hair a medium be
tween blonde and light brown, full
face said the Captain, continuing
his description.
“Zounds, how much you saw at a
glance 1” cried Mihalasy most pleasant
ly, stirred up by the subject. “Simply
say a splendid specimen of a woman;
and you will hit the nail on the head.”
“Bhe must be now ftbPlff forty years
of age.”
With elegant nonchalance, the Jjtou
tenant rested his elbow on a sand bag
and shook his hend knowingly:
“We will say five and thirty or very
well preserved. She is certainly no
longer in her first bloom—already
rather a rip# beauty. The maid on the
contrary.”
“According to you* Awyipwon, the
lady is no ottier than the divorced
of Count Bandimiani, the man with the
‘dagger face,’ as yon call t,” decided
the captain, who seemed to bo very
deeply interested in this discovery,
“ And Walden knows that the
Countess is here ?"
“To be aura be knows it, said Mika
lasy. .
“Indeed be cauuoc eotm to the in
spection, because be is with her all dgy.
When the two ladies arrived, J foand
myself in the neighborhood and did not
leave immediately, for a man must re
joice when he sees a civilized human
tace in this hole. Judging by the stupid
face of the old gardener at the red house,
ho was very much surprised to see them.
The ladies went immediately into the
house as if they were perfectly at home,
and I was just going away, wjifh the
maid, quite a splendid girl of eighteen,
came tripping down the stairs, and with
out giving me any warning, sprang; to
ward* me, and asked in fluent Viennese
if I were First Lieutenant von Walden ;
wkereupou she laughed immoderately.
I made her a low bow (for in my opin
ion, one should not forget his politeness
towards servants, particularly if they be
long to the fair sex), and regretted, on i
this occasion, that I was neither a first
Lieutenantor Mr.von Walden. However,
if a Lieutenant would do, I would very
willingly pass for Walden. All of which
seemed very ludicrous to t.bis Viennese
child of nature, for after eoutowplat ng
me attentively, she uttered these re
markable words : “But how stupid of
me—of course you cannot be Walden,
! for he has a white coat and a blonde
beard, so my Countess says.” I assured
her that owing to her youth she could
not be expected to know the different
branches of the service in iba Imperial
army, like an old sergeant, and that,
since I had seen her I infinitely prefer
red dark hair to blonde. Pepi (for so
the little sprite was called) proved sus
ceptible to such compH ents, and told
m how her poor Countess had co peace
' anywhere, aDd at time* wept so much,
I and then again would be very gay; how
they had spent the whole Winter uFpr in
Carinthia, in a huge castle which stood
all alone on a mountain, where nothing
was to he seen but birches and snow and
ravens, and where a very severe Winter
was prevailing when they came away, bhe
j had ulways been afraid of i he bla;k tow
f ers and high chambers and halls in which
! at night no matter how brilliantly they
i were illuminated, one could newer sets
the ceiling. In every corner a dozeu
ghosts might have bem sitting, thought
Pepi. From tfc*sre they went to Venice,
and her highnee* became still sadder.
Pepi could understand that very well,
for she was even less abto to console
herself in this strange town which looked !
all the year through as if the Danube j
had overflowed. It seemed wonderful I
to Pepi, too, that the people here and
there spoke a language which she did
not understand and which un
derstood perfectly among eaeh atb
er. The darling had, indeed, heard’
many a time of Italians at school, but
had considered them aawtt of wandering
people scattered all over thn earth,
whose special occupations were selling |
plaster of Paris figures, exhibiting white
mice, and making the most lugubrious
music on the bagpipes. We were in the
middle of a pleasant conversation, ana
, had entirely forgotten our friend vVal
den when 'he apparently accidentally
came up the path. The Countess’ de
scription must have been excellent,
for with the cry: “That is Walden !”
Pepi hnrried to pg r first Lieuten
ant and needed no persnsitoS to °°D
dnet him into the Castle. I remained
I near by, for I hoped that the charming
Pepi woahi pome again; but after sev
| eral hours, just as J bad reconciled my
-1 self to the inevitable, and was going
! sway, Walden came out looking very
absent-minded. When he saw me, he;
j gaid that h<s was about going to me to
! beg that I would attend to his duty for
the rest of the day. It was rath-r a
peculiar request, for each one is sup
i posed to have his own little affairs on
hand. But Waldea seemed to take the
j thing so seriously that I consented.
! Undoubtedly only to be in harmony
with the subject, Mihalasy’s “magyanzed
| aipiy German” had gradually charged
into a vehement Viennese, which could
scarcely have tossed from Pepi’s tender
' HP B - - -At
Tbe Captain bad listen©* yith a
gloossiv earnestness which yery sin
cerely meant, bgfc which on account of
his unfortunate features bordered very
etoeely upon the ridiculous resting
his eleueimi fist upon a sand bag so
he made a deep impression thereon. he
said half aloud as if speaking to him
self, and not entirely without ttegtnpai
**“80, the temptress has followed him
ovetl feere, and all that he to
me in -Vepjpe was idle dissimulation.
“Bv vour toss’*'" interrupted Miha
lssv, wtio felt mash stored by the com
monications which were at to* disposal,
and by Pepi's confidence : * it A?
vet not so certain that the Coun
tess has come toer.c on Walden s account,
at least Pepi told *v that previously
she had never heard anything of our
first lieutenant, but that the confess
had apqken very often of her daughter,
j And as she was driving through toe
i streets of jeayqap she had suddenly
leaned back in her carriage, and said as
if in deadly tear:
“ Henry von Walden is here !”
However, before Pepi had time to get
a look at Walden the carriage had pass
ed, and as soon as they were in the Cas
tle the Countess commanded her very
peremptorily to inquire for an officer,
von Walden, and if she fonnd him, to
brißg him to her. It seems therefore”—
“ That she will in no event, betray
herself to her servant,” said Kornfaes
sel, who in consequence of his unhappy
physiognomy and his eccentric war fan
cy, had had little opportunity to inves
tigate the foundation of all the roman
tic stories, which he had heard of dev
ilish and intriguing women; and had in
his zeal for the peace of mind and the
honor ef his first lieutenant, forgotten
how little qualified Mihalasy was for a
confidant.
With gloomy determination, he laid
his hand on his lieutenant’s shoulder,
looked sharply around him, and said im
pressively :
“ We will recall Walden to his duty
and to his honor. If he requests you
again to take his tonr of duty, refuse
and send him to me.”
“ As you command, captain !” answer
ed Mihalasy, who had already maturely
reflected that he must renounce the ex
pectation of seeing the charming Pepi
again, if he served every day for his
more fortunate first lieutenant.
The Captain did not seem willing to
speak any farther on the subject, but
examined with the greatest zeal the pro
gress of the improvements on the gun
platforms, and at last descended into
the casemates. Soon afterwards a thun
dering rolling, which made the fort
tremble, showed that he was not at all
pleased with the position of the guns
which Mahalasy had arranged. But in
spite of all his energy, bis fresh, joyful,
military ardor was much embittered. In
the execution of the heroic resolutions
by which he expected to astonish the
world, Karnfaessel had depended first
of all upon bis own talents, bnt next to
them, upon the qualities of the officer of
the infantry division assigned to him.
He had known Henry von Walden at the
military school, and notwithstanding
the difference in their ages, their ao
quaintaDce had never been entirely dis
continued, but they had become more
intimate of recent years, when change
of garrisons (although they belonged to
! diflerent divisions, yet they were in the
same branch of the service), brought
them together again, as in Brescia, in
Venice, nd at last in Laveno. They
were both amiable and honorable, sin
; cere and adventurous, and both with
out any particularly strong family
ties. Walden understood Karnfaessel’s
peculiar mind, and had few criticisms
for his remarkable exterior which al
ways provoked the sneers of others,
while on the other hand, the captain
clung with warm, reverent, indeed al
most childlike affection and respect to
his young comrade, upon whose noble
qualities, hia romantic disposition plac
ed the highest value. Finally, they had
spent almost all of their yearly recur
ring leaves of absence together, and
many a valley of Tyrol and Steyermaick
could tell of the merry harmless pranks,
the bold, chinbing parties, and the un
ruffled tempers of the two wanderers,
who sought to refresh themselves dur
ing a short summer week for a long
year in barracks and on the drill grouud.
Iu many a difficult mountaiu pass, in
stepping over many a glapier chasm,
Kornfaessel had had occasion to admire
the courage and perseverance of his
young friend; and eveu in Venice. Wal
den’s reckless disregard of death suc
ceeded in creating new unknown dan
gers in the usually peaceful lagoon.
Kornfaessel’s friendly regard for his
more youthful comrade went so far that
it was considered pretty certain that he
had already very quietly bequeathed his
tolerably large fortune tp top p°P r fl rst
fipgtenant.
All at oppp ft shadow had passed over
the relations between the tWP friends
by a report in Venice whioh designated
Henry Von Walden, the destroyer of the
peace of a hitherto happy family ; as
the lover of his cousin much older than
himself, the Countess Bandimiani,
whose palace on the large canal, on ac
count of the well known loyal senti
ments of its owner and the German de
epest pf the (jountess, was always open
to the Austtiap officer?*.
The Count h 4 suddenly closed his
doors against them, was virtually, though
still perhaps not hgaily divoroed from
his wife, and had taken his little daugh
ter to a remote spot in North Italy,
out of bitterness and pain, it was said,
on account of the indiscreet relations be
tjyepn his wife and the young officer.
I Owing to the tpJprSrrPP which at that time
I prevailed in military ctfOjps fpvards
I those s.orts pf pepcadillos, the rumors
Whjoli b a 4 been caused by this affair,
ceased the mpfe quickly. as tbe Confess
had gone away* &t tjqp SBgip time,
and Walden behaved as if the whole at
fair did not in the least concern him. It
was only to be regretted that the one
who formed the central figure of these
rjq .-nf.rft was a Venetian nobleman par

csmpaDy with almost hostile timidity,
and had not even visited the Bandimiani
house, but still he could not be mis
taken'to j;i)inkip" that Walden went

which bto dtofrnt copsjpsjiip <?jd not
seem altogether to justify, perhaps he
might have beep inflijepcefi by a
jealousy of the friend, ou whose ac

sel eptered into strict judgment
against iiiiS.- WaMei) f ar . frop disputing
the apDropriatenees ni b'e ffienalj’ inter
ference, went to him at opce,aup
with every appearance of Sincerity that
the remarkable occurrences itt the
Bandimiani house were to him inex
plicable, although he only knev of these
from Jmar'Wi I° r t> e bed bad no com
munication ffbto If?/ 0 P°fl n *r exce pt that,
in future bis visjto wojilq npt be jrepeiy
ed by the Couutees, Tbpp WMden gave
his word of honor, that between the
Countess and himself there had been
only a perfectly respectful, friendly re
ifttiop, which was proper for him as the
young pf a lady older than him
self; confidential rplatyppa as he joking
ly (lopfesspd had beep established be
tween him apd the little Caroline, whose
admirations of his talents had parried
her away very often to quite strong ca
resses. Walden said, too, that although
the Countess was really a very clever
and amiable lady, the sudden separation
from tbe depr little creature affected
■ im more deeply tffaa levying her moth
et,
Walden's esplanatiop had beep Riven
with such genuine sadness, that Korn
faessel apologized for his suspicions,
and promised to act as his second
against any one who made a wry faee
about this matter. However, tbe cap
tain found b occasjpn to do so, for, as
we said before, the rest of his poigj-ades
thought as kindly as of tbe affair as he
did, and it really grieved this faithful
Pylades that there was no cause for
shooting aDy body.
Kaf potwitbstanding all the kindness
and gentleness jyhich had fallen to his
lot, it was evident tuat had not
forgotten the treatment which he had
received in the house of Bandimiani, 1
fpr he repaired immediately to the 1
Couol, when he became aware of bis
presence in Liaveuo, j?bjtherhis regiment
and Kornfaessel’s battery had lately 1
beeu ordered. He believed still that he i
would be able to suggest an explanation,
as the pountpss was not present, and
henoe there could bp no foundation for
a misconstruction of this step. H ow ‘
ever, be bad been dismissed at the very
threshold by the formerly polite and re
served Count, in a way which gave evi
dence of a deep and inveterate animosity.
Kornfaessel had approved of Walden’s
course, and Bhared his agitation,
when the first lieutenant, pale and
deeply moved, came back from the
palace, and related that the Count
had e*pepge_d his astonishment that a
man would daro io jgsin approach a
family whose hospitality and confidence
he had so unworthily abused. In vain :
Walden had asserted his innocence and :
hi* iguoysnee of the offense with which
he was charged. Jb. e Count would not
even listen to fiim. apd left hipi stand- i
ing on the steps a spectacle fojr the do
mestics, who had been drawn thither by
their motor’s loud angry words.
Then Kornfaessel paff been of the
opinion that Walden could not remain
quiet under the insult which had been
offered him, and he was (as secret as the
captain and he had kept the affair), in a
measure, bound by the existing code of
honor to challenge the Count. Bandi
miani received the captain, bnt refused
to receive the challenge, because, as he
said, he believed, according to the mild
instinyta pf his people, that the crime,
instead of betof prpiated, would only
be added to in that way, au Mr von
Walden seemed very anxions to rob his
daughter pt her father.
Kornfaessel, au Jittle of a diplomat as
he’was, attejapiefl now to answer for
bis fri®pfl# innocence, bpt toe Count
with a bitter smile, presumed that bis
own opinion of the flrt lieutenant’s
character, had become unfortunately for
the honse of Bandimiani a family mat
ter, and hoped that he wonld be ex
cased from discussing it with a stranger;
therefore, he considered the converse-
Um. at an end. Once more Kornfaes
seus elbqti'Mtea made a desperate onset,
bnt the Connt wived his band in a wav
which was peculiarly Italian, and cut off
all farther reply.
XJpon which Kornfaessel withdrew,
and gave the Connt by letter, eight
days for consideration, but toe letter
remained unanswered, and a short time
after, the closed blinds of the red house,
and the absence of nearly all the domes
tics, left no donbt that the Count bad
departed with his little daughter. This
was soon confirmed by tbe additional
information that Bandimiani bad set
tled on the opposite shore, and had
thrown himself completely into the
arms of the Piedmontese. Kornfaes
sel, who was still not satisfied,
proposed to his friend a regular
challenge to force a duel upon the in
solent Italian, who presumed to sneer
at all the old established ideas of honor.
Bnt Waldren had disarmed his over
zealous friend, by confessing with an
earnest smile, that he would never have
shot at the father of little Caroline.
Since that time the captain had treat
ed his yonng friend with a sort of rever
ence which would have been scarcely
compatible with their official relations,
if Walden’s delicacy had not found
therein an inducement to mark more
strongly than ever in all official matters
Kornfaessel’s position as his superior.
It bad been also at the Captain’s most
urgent request that on the departure of
the regiment, Walden had been left with
his division as a support.
And now his child like sincerity and
faith, indeed everything good that Korn
faessel had believed of his young friend,
was suddenly transformed into treachery
and deceit. Walden had for years de
ceived him in the most bare-faced and
unnecessary manner, out of pure love of
untruth and was unworthy of his friend
ship because he kept up a' culpable un
derstanding with the wife of an other
man—a weakness upon which, in his up
rightness, the Captain bestowed the
most contemptuous names.

THE AIKEN EXECUTION.
A Card from Mr. J. St. Julien Votes.
Aiken, S. C., March 23, 1877.
Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist:
In the account of the execution of the
Hausman and Portman murderers, pub
lished in the Constitutionalist of the
17th instant, gross injustice is done me
by the insinuation conveyed by the
Aiken reporter of that paper, the animus
of which appears to me to have been in
spired alone by personal hostility to me.
I have no doubt that “great dissatisfac
tion” was felt at the respite of Stephen
Anderson by that class of spectators who
were attracted to the melancholy scene
by a morbid ouriosity which is their
predominant characteristic, bnt I am
loathe to believe that a stogie intelligent
citizen of this community deprecated
my course in the last act of the tragedy,
prompted, as it was alone, by a desire
to secure substantial justice to my client.
It is natural that my own motives in
the matter should be impugned by the
ignorant honor hunter, who expressed
the “ great dissatisfaction”—if any was
really expressed—but I doubt if any one
will successfully undertake to impeach
the Governor’s action or motives. In pro
curing the respite for Anderson, I did
so because certain facts brought to my
notice, after his conviction, warranted
me in believing him justly entitled to
such Executive clemency as the circum
stances might seem to entitle him to.
This I should have done from a reason
able view of my duty to AndersoD, as
his attorney, whether or not I had re
ceived compensation for this profes
sional service, and tj)e insinuation
which the reporter makes that my no
tion in the premises was dictated purely
by mercenary motives, is as inconsist
ent with the truth as I believe it to
have sprung from motives as unworthy
as they were unfitted to the occasion.
Very respectfully,
J. St. Julien Yates.

Annual Meepi'S (if SHtfli;M(ol*te''B*-Ksuior! af
(lie president.
The annual raeetiDg of the stockhold
ers of the Langley Manufacturing Com
pany was held at Sibley Hall, at Laug
ley, yesterday morning.
On motion, Mr. Josiah Sibley waß
called to the Chair, ard Mr. M. F. Fos
ter requested to act as Secretary.
Messrs. B. S. Dunbar and D. R.
Wright were aDpointed a Qora?aittcp on
proxies.
T&e committee, after investigation,
reported 620 shares represented in per
son and 2,365 by proxy—moro than a
quorum of the stock.
The minutes were read, and on mo
tion, confirmed.
The President, Mr. W. C. Sibley,
made his annual report. The report
showed that the aigount to the (jraejit of
the profit and loss account at the date of
the last annual report was $106,68G 14;
at present, $156,280 54. showing a net
profit for tho year of $49,594 40. On
the jgth of January a 4 per cent, divi
dend, amounting to (§18,060, was paid.
There was a very active demand for the
goods manufactured at the mills, from
the 10th of September, far beyond their
ability to supply. This lasted until
February, but during the month of
Marcji the situation has changed and
they ftre VfOi; UPW fthlp tosejl fheiygoqds,
which urp consequently hegipniug to ac
oumulate, as usual at this season of tbe
year. The outlook was so bright a few
months ago that he hoped the times
would warrant an increase to the full ca
pacity of their fine water power, but
since the beginning of the year 1877 the
horizon has darkened in South Carolina,
both politically and commercially, and
he f?ouid not, therefore, yeeotrimend fit
tWpfgsegt'tj'mb ah increase p tup will,
although uq one poqld qpsire moye than
hiiasalf to 860 aU their available water
power employed. It was better to move
slow and sure and await the tide that
leads on to fortune. The workings of
the mill during the past year under the
sucervision of the efficient Superinten
ijfejbj;, hju. hi. F. foster, had beeu satis
faptory.' Tim • Vrouuuti K u joy
amounted to 0,050,173 yards. For tbe
year 1875 the production was 5,723,671

of goods produced, $368, Oq) 31.
On motion of Mr. D. R. Wright, the
report was received and adopted.
Mr. Giles was in favor of enlarging
the mill at the present time. L bor,
material and machinery are cheap, prob
ably cheaper than it will be at any time
in the future. Hp bd np fears about
the political future of the State. The
present time was the most auspicious
for improvements of all kinds.
Mr. D. R. Wright said for years past
the production of cotton goods has gone
ahead of the consumption, and therefore
as long as that state of things continues
he didn’t see the wisdom of going be
yond the piesent capacity of the mill.
He wae wdUpg tp leave the whole mat
ter with the pfhcer3.‘ pettpy }et well
enough alone.
President Sibley said he was as much
in favor of enlarging the mill at the
proper time as anybody. There was a
Greater demand for goods in March of
last year than this. Some of the largest
stockholders want to e P e the mill in
creased to its fullest capacity, but they
want to see it done at the right time.
On motion, the stockholders proceeded
to the election of Directors.
On motion, the following gentlemen
were elected by acclamation : W. C.
Lang’ev, F. J. Pelzer, Josiah Sibley, B.

THE CONVENTION.
THE PEOPLE MUST CONSIDER
THE QUESTION,
The Day of Election Approaching—Selec
tion of Delegates—Candidates ” to the
Rear—lmportance cf the Matter—Let the
People Speak—. The Class of Men to Send—
What a Correspondent Thinks.
Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist:
The Constitutional Convention seems
to excite very little interest thus far, and
that little not of the right sort or from
the right quarter. The inevitable pa
triots who are ready to serve their
country whenever an office, be it of hon
or profit, is to be had, have, of course,
begun to stir. Such manifestations seem
to be absolutely unavoidable; even the
call for a Convention evokes them. The
millennium itself will hardly be free
from them, and,doubtless, if the throne
of omnipotence were to become unex
pectedly vacant, men of this sort
would canvass for the position and
persecute their friends for “pledges
of support.” There is doubtless enough
of this sort of interest; for any, the
least of it, is too much. But the in
terest we would like to see is that of a
people alive to the solemn fact, that by
the assembling of a sovereign Conven
tion, society is resolved again into its
original elements, and that the re crea
tion of the organic fabric calls for the
deepest wisdom, the highest purity, the
greatest prudence, and all the experience
and learning in the science of gov
ernment that can be brought to bear —
all the acquaintance with the needs of
society which intimate rel tions with
its varied interests may secure. We
want such an interest manifested as will
recognize that on this great work there
are needed no mere journeymen build
ers, no mere sharp politicians; above all
no men who are everlastingly and un
tiringly, in the phrase of the day, which
we apologise for using, “on the make,”
who would go to the Convention with no
adequate conception of the sacredness of
the trust, and would regard it with the
samesentiments that they would enter
tain in reference to any other large-sized
grindstone.
Let the public voice call into this
momentous service the best men—men
too good to seek or decline it. As we
read the Convention act, the apportion
ment is such, that Richmond county
should furnish four delegates. Let,
then, public opinion remand all candi
dates to the rear, and quietly settle
down on four of our best citizens, se
lected with a view to their excellence,
and with reference, so far as such refer
ence can be had without injury to more
material considerations, to tbe diversi
ty of tbeir pursuits. We name Govern
or Charles J. Jenkins, retired from all
active pursuits, but in the full
vigor of his intellect, and with a rich
store of wisdom, gathered in the e: -
perience of a long life of public and
private usefulness; Alexander C.
Walker, the enlightened and cultured
representative of our agricultural pop
ulation; William Hope Hull, the head
of the legal profession, the profound
constitutional lawyer; Rob’t H. May,
the clear headed representative of both
the mercantile and mechanical classes ;
Jeukius, Walker, Hull, May—will not
this ticket satisfy all ? May not the
whole community agree upon it? Will
not, oh ! will not seif-nominated candi
dates withdraw iu its favor ? Citizen.
Ilou. Geo. R. Sibley ns a Delegate from
Richmond.
Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist:
When the present Constitution of
Georgia was formed, the voice of the
intelligent people of the Btate was
drowned amid the confusion of defeat
and the corrupt rqle of tyrannical aliens.
Although the presence of a few upright
and learned men in that Convention re
lieved it from the charge of being a con
gregation of dishonest ignoramuses,
and preserved in its work some features
of sonnd policy and good government,
the people have never been fully satis
lied with the organic law then set forth,
They desired a Constitution of (heir
own, and accordingly the Ijegialaiure
passed a bill subiqittiug toe whole
question to people, and providing
Joy an election .of delegates at the sane
time. It will be no mean honor to be
r-hosen a delegate to thiv Convention.
Our State is almost entirely free from
partisan hatred and political excitement.
Everything points to the selection of the
truest, ablest and best men to be found.
The controlling idea in the election of
delegates should be to hay© 11 the im
portant interests p.J tho State represent
ed jn ihe Convention. The farmer
should be there, the merchant, the
banker, the lawyer, the physioian, the
educator and the divine, so that our qew
Constitution may speak thg yoie® o i all
the people.
But toe number of delegates assigned
to a district will not admit of each com
munity sending a representative of every
iudividm 1 interest. One man will have
to be the exponent of several principles.
And for this reason the writer desire \o
call attention to the peculiar stess of
Mr. George Silta? w" a representa
tive of the commercial md educational
interests of Richmond oounty. His
name has already been mentioned in
oonueotion with the Constitutional Con
vention, but it is presumed that was
doue by reason of the prominent posi
tion he has long held in the city aB a
merchant and business man.
The cause of public education is of
far too great importance to be ppglepted
in such a junqturg o( afijaiys. 3fts friends
and'supnOrters haye a right to ask for
representation, We know of no one who
can represent us with moro fidelity a:d
ability than Mr. Sibley. He is a gradu
ate of Yale, a gentleman of cultivated
mind, liberal views, splendid judgment
and unimpeachable integrity. The writer
does not think he is rash is asserting
that the educational ipterestg of
mond county witl'suppbrt My. Si'bley.
CINCINNATUS.
ipIlE RECENT LYNCHING.
It is Comleniued in Severest Terms by tlje
L'lHTfyi
Last Sunday morning, at high mass,
at the Church of the Sacred Heart, Rev.
Father Joseph Heidenkamp said that
before proceeding to offer any reflec
tions upon the gospel of tfie flgy, he
would speak of tb e yeoeut murder in
Waynesboro! The following to a syn
opsis of his remarks :
“ It is my duty to call yonr attention
to a truth which is very much lost sight
of. An awfal crime has been committed.
The murder of an innocent man, though
terrible, was the least horrible part, for
that was done by a negro scarcely above
the brute intelligence and knowledge.
The law was fully sufficient to inflict all
the punishment he deserved. The
greater guilt is attached to the men who
dared to interfere with the law and with
God. We are all, more or less, ac
quainted with the circumstances of the
outrage. Bnt what has that to do with
us? Our hands are not red with blood.
We have not been guilty of a deed dis
graceful evep to savages. J will not in
sult you by suspeeting that you took
part in the murder, or that you sympa
thised with it, or that you had failed to
prevent it, had it been in your power to
do so; nevertheless, we are very much
concerned in it. I jpeak to the children
of the church; to those who take an in
terest in the honor of God; who feel
an insult offered to the Divine Majesty as
one offered to their personal feelings.
There are a number Of men who have
dared to snatch out qf the hands of God
the right over life and death, to hurry a
human soul, to save which Christ died
on the cross, to judgment without in
struction, without repentance, without
baptism; men who have deliberately
done tbe work of tbe devil, who are in
the power of the devil, and sure to go to
the devil should death find them as they
are, although nothing else should be
brought against them; men who have
brought the curse of God upon them
selves and upon others, as we are told
that God visits the sins of the parents
upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation. * * We are un
fortunately too much led to measure
the character of sin by the evil conse
quences it produces in this world; to
lose sight ol the fact that it is an
insult, an injury done tp the _ in
finite majesty of God. To be mind
ful of this is precisely onr duty.
It devolves upon us to offer satisfaction,
and make reparation to Him who died
upon the cro£s to atone fer sin. Let ns,
particularly daring the week of oar
Lord's passion, go to His altar to ex
press our sympathy, and beg for the
grace of repentance for those who are
now His enemies. * *. * It there
were amongst us people infected with
the plague, how would we dread infec
tion; and yet what is pestilence wh'B
compared to the curse clinging to these
murderers? * * * Let us implore
the mercy of the Lord, as Abraham
prayed for the doomed inhabitants of
Sodom; as Moses interceded for the
children of Israel when the Lord’s hand
was raised to strike.
At the evening services at St. Patrick’s
Church, Father Erendergast referred to
the lynching, and condemned it in the
most unmeasured terms. Our Saviour,
he said, was taken from Pilate by a mob,
and tlfese men had defied the law and
made themselvea murderers. The Cath
olic Church looked upon suoh acts as
the grossest crime, which demanded the
most severe punishment.
Hip pockets for lap dogs are the latest
innovation in ladies’ dresses. With a
dog in her pocket, a seal on her back, a
bird in her hat and kids on her hands
and feet, the well dressed lady to bnt
little short of a walking menagerie.
CONSTITUTIONAL CONTENTION.
Editors Chronicle and Constutionalist :
A paragraph in one of the dai
ly papers informs the public that
ex-Qovernor Brown and Dr. H. V. M.
Miller are among those spoken of as
delegates to the Constitutional Conven
tion from the District of which Fulton
county forms a part. The duty of set
tling the fundamental law is a grave and
responsible one, and it was gratifying
to see such distinguished names men
tioned in such connection. It is hoped
that Georgia will “seek out’’ and send to
that Convention men of ability, experi
ence, patriotism and integrity. Fre
quent changes of the fundamental law
are of injurious tendency. One evil is,
that it weakens the reverence of the peo
ple for the government. It is to be
hoped, therefore, that the Convention,
which will probably assemble in July,
will give us* a Constitution marked by
snch excellences that there will be no
need for another such body in our State
for a long time to come. And,
in order to this, we want
the right sort of men. Could not
Richmond county and the District
of which it is a part give to the State
for that purpose that noble old Roman,
ex-Governor Jenkins. And then there
are ex-Governor Johnson, Judge Speer,
Gen. Lawton, Gen. Henry R. Jackson,
Col. McKinley, and others that might
be named. Let us not have a congrega
tion of “cross-roads” politicians and
wire-pullers, who cannot rise above self
and section, to make a Constitution. It
is bad enough to send such characters
to the Legislature, but it is worse to
send them to a Constitutional Conven
tion. The harm done by one Legisla
ture may be remedied by the next one,
which soon succeeds it; but a blunder
put in the Constitution may rest as an
incubus on the State for generations.
In fact, the small professional politi
cians, as a whole, are objectionable.
There is such a strong temptation to
view questions in the light of influences
on personal ends rather the public
weal. Has not every District some good,
honest citizen, of sound judgment and
sound morals, who is not a “politician”
in the technical sense ? Let us have
such, who will have no “axe to grind”
in the Convention. He need not be a
lawyer. Why should he be ? He need
not be a speaker. It would be a pity if
every delegate should make a speech.
It would be too expensive. If he be a
man of sound judgment, sterling integ
rity and patriotic impulses, he will
make a good delegate. Georgian.
HART COUNTY MATTERS.
Superior Court Week in Hartwell.
[ Correspondence Chronicle and Constitutionalist.]
Hartwell, March 24.—The Superior
Court of this county closed its Spring
term to-day, after having been in ses
sion since Monday last. The weather
was fine, and quite a number of people
have been in attendance. Judge Pottle
is always a welcome visitor to the law
abiding citizens of this community, and
likewise a terror to evil-doers. His ad
ministration is acceptable to our people,
and we regard him as an upright magis
trate and a Christian gentleman. The
new Solicitor-General, Colonel Seaborn
Reese, of Hancock, made a favorable
impression. He is certainly industrious
aud attentive to the duties of his office,
and evidently goes in to convict the
guilty. Among the attorneys from other
caunties, we had the pleasure of seeing
Colonel Robert Hester, Hon. E. P. Ed
wards, Colonel John P. Shannon, Cap
tain S. N. Carpenter and Major John H,
Osborn, of Elbert; Mr, W. C. Crump, of
Carnesville, and Colonel James D.
Mathews and ex Solicitor General Lump
kin, of Oglethorpe. We mifised the
pleasant face of our friend, Colonel
Nash, of Madison, who occasionally
does us the honor of appearing in our
midst. The statement that he once
said he could jump a Sox within a hun
dred yards of the Court House in Hart
well is false, The looal bar wer9 all on
hand, and two more lawyers were made
during the term—Mr. Lee Linder, of
this place, and Mr. H. A. David, former
ly of Franklin county. Both the gen
tlemen passed a very creditable exami
nation, and were highly complimented
by the Judge.
Our farmers are now quite busy in
p"eparing for the coming crop season.
We are fortunately far enough from rail
roads to avoid an immediate use of
gnano. The Rev. Mr. Crymes, of
Franklin, who is a candidate for Con
ventional honors, addressed the public
during the term. His principal theme
was opposition to the school laws, and
this is a popular doctrine here. Men
who run for office generally find out
which way the wind is blowing before
they set sail. W. H. S.

During the entire course of his practice, Dk.
Connaughton has do voted exclusive attentior
to the treatment of CHRONIC DISEASES,

And with a success so flattering that invalids
from every section of the country have fre

Determined that all the advantages deriv
