PRESS AND The freedom of the press lias justly been regarded as one of the greatest bulffarkB of English and American liberty. The press in a great measure is the guardian of the freedom, purity and honor of this country; and its safety Jroni undue fear and interfer ence cannot be too highly valued. It is the high prerogative and bouuden duty of the press to cry aloud against ftyranny, expose corruption, and battle against eery abuse of power that affects orjn any way injures the rights and privileges of private citizens. This government is the creature of the peo ple and to them, it belongs. They lavo elected officers to make them laws and to disburse and take care of the funds set apart for carrying on its machinery and laws. Theee officers are paid stated salaries for the work they do, and they are expected to do it well. But if they are direlict in the discharge of their duties, and com mence to-act dishonestly and swindle and cheat the people, why then the people certainly ought to be informed as to who are their betrayers. This country is too wide and extended for individuals to proclaim it to people orally, so the public press which is constituted for that purpose is the proper and only available channel through which such intelligence can be communicated and disseminated. The privilege then of the press is to take notice of all abuses or irregulari ties by which the public i likely to be injured. The press has no right to meddle with the private matters be tween man and man. "A man's house is his castle," says the old common law, and no one has a right to enter that castle and insult or intimidate its owner or his family. So the moment that a public journal brings charges against a man affecting his character as a private individual, he has taken an unwarrantable liberty with the most sacred rights of his fellow man, trans cended his privilege as a public jour nalist, and has committed a grave offense against the dignity of the laws and the peace of society, whose har mony and well being he should have been most instrumental in preserving. This frequent trifling with individual rights and constant abusing of citizens in private walks of life by the press of the country, should be frowned down and discouraged by all who desire to give dignity and character to journal ism. The freedom of the press should be used, but not abused; and the soon er an tditor is taught that he shall certainly be called to account for false and libellous charges against his fellow citizens, the better it will be for this State and the country at large. A level headed old philosopher struck the key note when he said the ' freedom of the press and the freedom of the club should go hand in hand." The reader will note that we make a distinction between license and freedom, when speaking of the press. An editor de siring to wreak a mean cowardly re venge upon an enemy can scatter the seeds of slander to the flour winds of heaven in a day, but can never again either gather them up or effectually destroy their effect. Of course the in jured party has his action at law for libel; but the penalty is in no way commensurate with the crime, for what solace or comfort will a few pal try dollars of damage afford for the stain of honor, or the wreck of a repu tation ! Besides the slow uncertain result of a libel suit never was a favor ite process by which high toned chiv alric Southern gentleman sought to vindicate their integrity and honor. The process was entirely too slow and unsatisfactory they believed that the freedom of the cane should go side by side with the freedom of the press. The Wilmington Post for the past few months has abounded with such shock ing abuse and outrageous charges against some of the most honored citizens of the .State, that the better and fairer papers of its own party, such as the Wash ingtonCAromce and Greens boro New North State would not en dorse them, and when we learned by telegram that the Hon. A. M. Waddell had caned him ; we were not surprised we only wondered why it was delay ed so long. The Post by its attacks upon private characters and other marked unprofessional irregularities has. lost thejeonfidence and sympathy of the journals every where, and we be lieve that every paper in the State without regard to party will acknowl edge that his chastisement was a just and a righteous one. We make this statement not because the Post differs with us politically, but because its tendency was to lower the tone and character of journalism, the profes sion of which we are a member. If a Democratic edito'- assails a private character and; is caned for it, we would only feel that he had been served rightly. A man is free to live as he pleases so he harms no one, and he is accountable for his mode of living to his God, but not to his fellow man who is weak and sinful himself. If a man serves the public faithfully, he should be commended for it, but if guilty of fraudulent practices in public trusts, he should be exposed but in no event should the secrets of his pri vate life be printed and scattered over Uhe land that in brief is the privilege wi -puuiio journal, ana no more. vThe Philadelphia Times, one of the leading papers North, has this to say about President Grant and his connec tion with the secret service fraud : f The solemn and irrevocable jndement fofHhe nation -will be, that he is moral ly gudty of a misappropriation of public diat ari be committed against a free people." FREEDOM Maj William Stone, who has been appointed Attorney General of South Carolina vice S W Melton resigned, is spoken of by both of the Democratic papers in Charleston, as an able and honest Republican, and (Jov Cham berlain is consequently much com mended bv them for the selection. FEMALE LOBBYISTS. They re not so Numerous nor so i retty as People Think. The Washington correspondent of the Pittsburg Leader writes. Female lobbyists are a rarity. I have never known many, and have seen less, but have heard of the golden haired, round-eyed dames, whose faces are brighter and more beautiful than the wine-flushed features of Aholibah, whose words are as sweet as the thrumming music of the dulci mer, and whore smiles are sun-lit meshes that catch all the world up in their toils, victims, an,d vanquished, with the passionate heart exceeding the sensib.e brain. I have heard of these sort of females, but never saw one and I don't believe anybody else ever saw one, either. I knew two women who lobbied ; one had false teeth and claims, the other was grayhaired and over forty ; both were successful in their way, but neither owed their success to their good looks. The one with false teeth had been a nurse of some sort or other during the war, and laid her claims to Republican Congressional assistance in the fact that she still suffered from wounds received in the late war. She had been wounded in one of her lower limbs, vulgarly called a leg, by the explosion of the Confederate shell in an hospital ward. She was markedly successful in her day, but of course that day is over. There is one woman lobbyist who has retired temporarily from the pro iession on a competency acquired in it. She has visited Washington once only this season, and her stay, not being professional, was brief. She resides in New York, has a brown stone front, a coupe, and is a swell lady of stunning manner and style. She made during two winters in Washing ton a clear net profit of $300,000, and, unlike most of the fraternity and sorosis of lobbyist?, saved it. This woman was not handsome either. She is a small brunette, from the South originally, and thirty at the lowest figure. Her features are inter esting, but too delicate to Le hand some. Her manners are quiet, re served and lady-like. But her clever ness is wonderful and va9t. She knows who to work on and how to work, and, knowing this, has been successful. VIRTUE'S VICTORY. A Young Lady, Accosted by a Negro Tramp Saves Herself by Hurling Him into a Bsd of Quicksand. Fjo:u the Lvansville Jou ii.il Partesi from the neighborhood of the occurrence, have put us in posses sion of the following particulars. of a tragedy which was consummated near Birk City, on the Green River, some twelve miles below us: It appears that on the 8th inst.. Miss Margaret Payne, who resides a mile or two up the river from the village men tioned bove, had gone into the place to n i some purchases, and spend the el;; with a young lady acquain tance. In the afternoon she started for home, and when about three quar ters of a mile from the village, and at a point far from any house or help, a burly negro man wh was out on the water in a skiff, pulled into shore and sprang up into the road, accosting the young lady, and asking if he could walk with her, Thoroughly frighten ed, she answered ' No !" and increased her pace. He also hurried up, keep ing by her side, but between her and the river. There could be no question of the black scoundrel's intention. Miss Payne's home was the nearest house, and between her and it Uy a heavy strip of brush and timber, lone some, dark and dense, a fitting spot for the perpetration of the dark vil lainy the black devil no doubt con templated, and the young lady fully realized her fearful peril. At a point where an encroaching hill crowded the road to the very verge of the river, and where the bank was steep, an inspired thought flashed upon the brain of the sorely distressed damsel, and mustering her strength for one single effort, when they reach ed the point, she gave her tormentor a tremendous shove, hurling him over the bank headlong into a bed of quick-ami Then, without stopping to look after the fate of the wretch, she ran home at the top of her t-ped. The negro, of course, was immediately swallowed up by the voracious sands. His body has not been recovered, though it can be distinctly felt with a long pole. He is supposed to be a tramp who had been loitering about the neighborhood for a few weeks past, and who i3 now missing. The general belief of the neighborhood is that he had seen Miss Payne going to the village; and laid - in wait to inter cept her on her return, with the result we have narrated above. A Scared Chicagoan. During the recent Southern excursion, the Chica go Board of Trade delegation was in vited to look over a Georgia planta tion. President Bensley became sep arated from his companions, having for a guide apparently an intelligent and very polite mulatto. The fellow was exceedingly entertaining, and Mr. Bensley, beginning to take an interest in him, said : "'To whom did you be long before the war?" "Sir?" said the guide, whipping out an enormous revolver and putting it unpleasantly near Mr. Bensley's nose. "I asked," faltered the commercial gentleman, "to whom this plantation belonged be fore the? war." "It belonged to me, sir, and does still ; but I want your first remark." and the man with the olive complexion flourished his revol ver in the most awful manner. There was nothing for Mr. Bensley to do but to beg pardon humbly and handsome ly, which he" did ; but he and the Spaniard did notlong remain in each other's company. Mr. Bensley made no more mistakes of that kind during his Southern trip. Chicago Tribune. Webs ter, said :"If we work upon marble it will perish; if upon brass, time will efface it ; if we rear temples they will crumble in duat ; but if we work upon our immortal minds if we imbue them with principles, with the just fear ?f God , and love of our fellow men we -engrave on these tablets something which will brighten through all eternity." ' . Epistle of St. Enbe to the Republicans THE IURABLE OF THE PRETTY FOOT. 1. And it came to pass in-the last year of the reign of Ulyss es the son of Jesse that these things did ocur. 2. There was a valiant captain of the tribe of Belknap who dwelleth in the regions of Iowa, who was a mighty man of valor. 3. Yes, verily, he did smell the battle afar off, and longed to plunge into the thickest of the carnage, but was always prevented from doing so whenever the rebels appeared in the field, by some duty at home. 4 Now Belknap was a man after Ulysses' own heart, for was it not written that Ulysses sprung jup like a mushroom in the night, like a mush room sprang he up. 5. For Ulvsses the son of Jesse sold his cord wood, and filled himself full of jugorum, and became a spectacle to the people of St. Louis, who dwell beyond the father of waters. f Tfc i 1 .1 It i t o. cut wnen tne Diast oi war mew in his ears, then rose he up and sent forth his valiant sodiers by millions who put to nignt tne iamisnea nost ot Jen. the F. F. V's, the Tar Heels, the Gouleers, the Butternuts, the Sand-Hillers. the Dagoes, and all they that dwell south of Mason and Dixon s lines. 7. Then came forth Ulysses the son of Jesse' from his tent, and the smoke of the weed went forth from his nostrils, and his nose wras red with the fumes of fire-water, and he said, let us have peace. 8. Now the people of Yankeedoodle dum rojoiced exceedingly, and proclai med Ulysses the son of Jesse, the Great Highcockalorum, to rule over the land of Uncle Samuel for the period of four years. 9. And Ulysses went into the White House and surrounded himself with all manner of plunderers, who gave unto him a portion ot their spoils, which they had taken away from the people of the land of America. 10. And Ulysses the son of Jesse refused not the horses, end the houses and the lands and the other good things that were offered unto him by the bri bers and plunderers, save the bullpup which was sent by express, C. O. D., which Ulysses would not take until all the charges were paid. Selah. 11. Moreover Babrooster, the scribe of Ulysses the son of Jesse divided the spoil of the crooked whisky with the St. Louis-ites, but gavejnot unto Ulysses a portion there of, and Ulysses waxed wroth and bounced Bab; yea, in his anger did he bounce him from beneath the roof of the White House. 12. And it came to pass that Relnap, the mighty man of valor, did takf unto himself a beautiful damsel in the land of Kentuckee of the tribe of Tomlinson; but the Lord took her away, and he did mourn exceedingly. 13. And it came to pass that the sisterjof the damsel, who was a w idow with an exceedingly pretty foot, did cleave unto the valiant captiain, that she might comfort him ; but the Lord waxed wroth that so great a sin should be done before the people of the nation, and great was the punishment of Belk nap. 14. For the Lord caused Ulysses, the son of Jesse, to appoint Belknap his chief Scribe of War, which honor turn ed the head of the spouse, who had the pretty foot, and who was as poor as a church mouse in the beginning. lo. But now she yearned for the green -bax, wherewith she might buy the shod dy, the brown-stone, the chariot, the glittering bracelets, and all the trash that is so much sought after bv the up starts who do sojourn in the capital of tne nation. 10. Moreover she wanted to eive bin dinners, and would not be outdone bv Fish nor the flesh, nor the fowl of any entertainments that aboundeth in the city where he who maketh the greatest snow is worshipped by those that partake thereof. 17. But the pretty spouse, with the pretty foot had not the greenbax where with to purchase these things, and she urged her husband, that he might "sell the posttraderships to the frauds who swindle the poor Indians out of their lands and their lives. 18. And William did. 19. Whereupon he sank into the Marsh of despair and the rejoicing of the widow, with the pretty foot, is turned into lamentation, Ulysses, the son of Jessee, hath bounced him, and all the lunchers have eaten up all the green bax that the posttraders yielded ; yea like a swarm of grasshoppers have they devoured all and flown away like the wind- 2C. But the people do clamor to have the matter investigated, and punish all the person s who are concerned in this great inquity; and it is written that they shall not escape ;'not even Ulysses, the son ofJesse, who taketh presents and bribes, and who drinketh the rum that is in the jug behind the White House door, and who smoketh the weed of the devil, and who driveth chariots furiously with the bull-pup underneath t he dust thereof. 21. So endeth the Epistle of St. Rubev LINCOLN'S ASSASSINATION. Story that Booth Attempted to Take His Life at the Second Inaugura tion. From the New York Tribune. Washington, April 27. An interest ing incident, which foreshadowed the tragic fate of President Lincoln, but which has never before found its way into print, is vouched for by a number of persons, still in Washington, and who were witnesses to it. On the day when Mr. Lincoln was inaugurated the second time, in 1865, and just as he had passed from the rotunda of the Capitol to the platform at the east portico where his inaugural was to be delivered, a man who was recog nized by several persons to be John Wilkes Booth, pushed hurriedly through the passage leading from the Senate Chamber to the rotunda, and in an excited and determined manner broke through the line of policemen which kept the crowd back from the procession, and made a desperate effort to reach tbe eastern door of the Capitol. He was discovered bv a member of the Capitol Police Mr! J. W. Westfall, of New York who on several occas ions before, as well as siitce, has given evidence of his faithfulness and effi ciency. He seized the excited stranger and, after a severe struggle, during which Major B. B. French, the com missioner of public buildings, at the suggestion of Mr. Westfall, caused the door to be closed and aid to be fur nished, succeded in forcing him back into the crowd. Booth had already been noticed by at least two persons who knew him passing rapidly from the direction of the Senate chamber toward the rotunda, and some idea of his determination to reach the inaug ural platform may be formed from the fact, that he broke away from the man who first Beized him Mri Westfall, and but for the closing of the door, would probably have accomplished his pur pose, whatever it was.
