NIVKR GIVE l)P.
Never give up! It is wiser and better
Always to hope than ouce to despair;
Fling off the load of doubt's cankering fet
ter.
And break the dark spell of tyrauical
care.
Never give up! or the burden may sink you;
Providence kindly has mingled the cop;
And in a)l trial or troubles bethink you,
The watchword of life must be, "Never
give up!
Never give" up! There are chances and
changes
Helping the hopeful a hundred to one;
And, through the chaos, high Wisdom ar
ranges
Ever success, if you'll only hope cn.
Never give up! for the wisest is boldest,
Knowing that Providence mingles the
cup;
And of all maxims, the best, as the oldeu ,
Is the true watchword of, "Never give
up!"
Neyergive up! Though the grape-shot may
rattle.
Or the full thunder-iloud over you burst;
#taud like a rock, and the storm or the bat
tle
Little shatt harm you, though doing the' l '
worst. i
Never give up, if adversity presses,
providence wisely has mingled the cup;
And the best counsel, in all yourjilistresses,
Is the stout watchword of, "Sever give
up!"
A Plain rrcllwl of Fact*. I
[From the Charleston News and Courier.] J
I. A mouth ago the colored labor- j
ers in the Counties of Beaufort and (
Colleton struck for higher wages. ,
Many 01 the hands were willing to (
work at the advanced rate given at (
the beginning of harvesting, but the t
ringleaders drove such laborers from ,
the fields, set upon them, bruised f
them With clubs and brutally tfhipl
- them. To this hour the two t
Comities named are ill a perturbed t
condition. I
11. in Charleston on September t
6th a mob ot' Radical negroes attacks
cd two colored Democrats, who were (
defended by a party of white citizens. (
In the fight that ensued one man was
killed and several persons were gric*
vously wounded. For some hours
the negro rioters held undisputed po« j
session of the principal thoroughfare c
of the city.
111. At the beginning ot this week
a posse with a constable, bearing a
wairant for the arrest of a nci.ro
f *
ch raged with assault a"ffl robbery o 1 (
an aggravated character, were fired v
upon, near Ellenton, by a crowd ot
negroes, with whom the fugative .
from justice had taken refuge. These j
negroes have since burned twodwelU f
ing houses and a nhmber of barns.
They removed the rails on the Port (
Iloval Railroad, threw a train from (
the track, and fired into the train.
They threaten even now to burn the *
villages 011 the liue of road. r
IV. iii the qnietjtown ot Aiken '
the white citizens 011 Friday night
slept 011 their arms; the blacks hav»
ing beaten the long roll and roani-
fested an iutention to use the torch (
as a surer weapou of defence than
shotgun or bludgeon, (
V. In Marion, the other d»v, a
negro resisted arrest, and, with his (
compatiious, fired upon and wound- |
ed one of the sheriff's posse who at*
tempted to arrest him. {
VI The deputy sheriff ot Barn h
well a Republican, is ainbuscated and
wounded by negroes, and the clothes
of the officer with him were riddled
W uh balls.
The facts we give, stripped to the
bare truth, and capable of confirma
tion by a cloud ot trust worthy wit
nesses, exhibit the situation of the
low country of -Sfoutb Carolina, where
the negroes predominate. For a
mouth or more the white citizens
have been in imminent danger. The
assassin threatens them by day and
the barnburner by uight.
The jState government is in indies
puled possession of the Republican
party. What has been done by that
State government, or by local officers
to restore to the petple, under the
Constitution, the iualicnable rights of
"enjoying and defending iheir -lives
and liberties, of acquiring, posessing
' and protecting property, and of
seeking "and obtaining their safety
a. d happiness?" L
1. In Beaufort nineteen of the
Combabee rioters were arrested. All
save five were discharged. The re*
maining five were tried 011 Wediiess
day. Their grill was admitted; no
defence was made. They were
prumply acquitcd.
2. A show of authority was made
: |„ Colleton, but the rioters pursued
! the Deputy Sheriff and Jiosse, res
cued their prisoner, and drove the
"miuions ot the law" in derision
back to Walterboeo.' The Sheriff of
Colleton iei>orU that he cannot exe
cute the processes of the law iu the
[ lower part of tlte County.
3. In Charleston one sol'lary ar
; rest bas been made, and that was,
alter long delay, upou the affidavit ol
, a citizen wbo had been assaulted.
The City authorities hear nothing,
say nothing, attempt nothing.
5. Ms arrests in Baruwell or

o. Where are the courts? The
.Radical Jiidga of the Circuit in which
the main disturbances take place,
hurries into Court, before the ap>.
pointed hour of meeting.and adjourns
at once. It was the day for the open
ing of the regular term and the ads
journment without day is ordered,
without reference to'the right ot pris
oners, the wishes of counsel, or the
convenience of the jurors.
6. Where is (he governor ot the
Slate? With the muiderous volleys
of the Elleuton rioters ringing in his
ears, he deserted his post on Monday
night last, and hied him to Massa
chusetts!
Several white men have been kill
ed in the different combats, ana a
number of negroes are reported to be
siain. The negroes believe themselves
to be above the law, uud act upon
this belief. The State is threatened
with a waroi races. ihe State Gov
ernment, from Governor down, en
courages the lawless negroes t,o,
lurther excesses by the failure to
stamp out the first germs of disord
er.
And the whites! What are they
doing? For their own protection
and that of peaceful colored citizens,
the}' have organized themselves in
every district. It i 9 the whites who
maintain order wherever order re
signs. The Executive calls upon the
United States troops to arrest the
Ellenton outlaws, and at thoir coming
(he whites withdraw. But these
troops, whatever their gallantry, can*
not gather at every fireside which is
menaced with desolation; nor can
they, whatever their great good-will
lake the place that is filled by Gover
nor, sheriff, judge and jury, in a com
,.;ui ity where civil law is supreme. In
the low country ot South Carolina lo*
day their is neither civil law nor mil*
itary law. Neither the sword nor
the toga commands and iiiuiutains
peace. In Charleston an iin Colunr
bia squads of ariued civilliaus bes
longiug to the different organizations
assemble each night iu their armories,
under thflir officers, ready to delend,
musket iu liaud, their imperilled
liearths and homes. The two chief
cities of South Carolina are armed
camps. Every white citizcu is eni
rolled, aud within an hour the whole
body of whites, young and old," can
be assembled for the performance of
the functions which belonged to the
State Government —when South Car"
olina had a government. Founded
in ignorance and hate, bolstered up
by selfishness aud vice, the fabric tell
to pieces at the first touch of danger,
at the first call for other public 'work
than robbery rnd rapine. For the
low-country the livil government is
gone. Charleston is safe in persm
aud in property, so is Columbia.
Thev arc paramount there. But the
whites in the country districts, where
their numbers are tew, are confront"
ed by perils too monstrous to de
scribe. Loss ol life and pioperty is
the least of them?
Such is th? condition of South Car
olina to-day! Such is tha pass to
which Radicalism—spurning respect
ability and honesty, and huifging de
bauchery and fraud toils bosom—has
brought this people. Out of it comes
the inexorable need of the overthrow
Republican rule—not tor jTilden's
sake, not for Hampton'* sitke, not for
the take of party, but for the sake ol
the quiet and security, the virtue and
honor, this peop.e can lift possess
whi e ttaey have no civil government
save in name, and know of its exists
ence only by its scandalous oppress
sion and the incessant demands of the
lax-gatherer.

[From the Sunday Mercury.]
The Itev. Mr. Price, formerly rector
of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church,
lived until recently at 109 West Twe-
nt y-second street. Early in the Sum
mer he went to Hempstead, leaving
liik furniture and silver lucked in his
dwelling. A week ago Friday . the
Doctor came to New York, uulocked
the front door, aud enterod the par
lor. Soon he heard footsteps coming
softly down the stairs. He went into
thejiall, and there lie discovered a
burglar' W hat are you doing here?
asked the Doctor The burglar point
ed a pistol at the clergyman's head;
and said: If you move I will blow
vour brains out, and dragged hlin
into the parlor and told liim to
sit down. I began to talk to
him, sai 1 the Doctor to a Mercury
reporter. My good fellow said I,
what induces you to commit thi 8 ;
crime? You have committed bur-!
glary, ahd now you, arc about to i
commit murder. It will do you no!
«ood to kill an old man like me. You
have already run the risk of twenty
vears in the State prison, aud to
little purpose. If you kili me you
will be found out, for I have many
friends in the city and am well known
here. The murder will cause great
excitement, aud you will be hanged
for it. Ar a mere matter of policy it
is folly to kill ine. And, then, why
do you want to add crime to crime
Well, you take the matter pretty
cooly, said the burgular, Who are '
you anyhow? I am "he liev, Mr.
Price, ol the Episcopal Church, aud
have spent a portion ot my time
laboring among your class of people 1
The burgular's maniiucr changed
when I said this, aud he took his
pistol sway from my bead. Taking
the burglars left hand in tnine (the
right held the pictol), I added: "My
good fellow, what has induced you to
lead this life of crime? Why do you
do BO? The hand containing the
pistol dropped by the burglar's side.
I am suflering he said, for food to
eat, aud without work and uo oue
pities me. You are the first man.
sir, that has spoken a kind word to
me in a long time. I shall not harm
you. lam surprised at our coolness.
You are the most remarkable man 1
ever saw.
The Doctor had a very heavy gold
chain hanging from his vest, and a
gold watch attached to it. Go also
had money iu his pockets. The
burglar did not attempt to rob him-
He said: You have distroved all my
desire to steal; and as fi.r harming
you,you need not fear that. But 1 must
escape, ana how to do it I don't know
I am afraid to go out for you will
give au alarm and I shall be arrested
i cannot stay here, tha>'s c;|'tain, aud
I cannot harm ) ou, for you talk so
kindly to me. I haveu't the heart
to injure you. I don't see any oilier
way tliau to tie you. Is there a
closet handy to put you iu?
This is unnecessary, said the Doc
:or. 1 will alow you to escape. 1
will give you all the time you want.
I will not make any alarm until you
are out of iaugcr. My life is in danger
and I promise yon t at you 'shall
nave all the time you want.
Well, I guess I'll trust you.
He started for the door. As he
was about to go out. the Doctor
called to him: '*My good fellow, you
say yon are in want. Here, take this
dollar (handing him a silver dollar).
I am willing to help you further if
you will write me when you get
away. You fieed not fear to do 10
i for I will not trouble you if you really
desire to reform.
The burglar stood leaning against |
the front door of the bouse with one
hand on the knob, looking pensivtly
at the floor. Drawing a long breath
lie raised himself full length, and
changing his position to rest himself
lie said, slowly, and with much feel
ing: "Ah. thank you, thank you sir.
I expected to have a fight with you
when I heard you comehi the door,
You have conquered me without fight
ing. You shall hear from mo again,
sir; I will never forgot this occurrence,
I believe that there Is one kind-hearted
man left in the world. Good bye."
The borglar, casting a glance be
hind him, slid out upon the stoop,
and shutting the door after him walk*
ed rapidly away toward Ninth aven
ue.

CBftTEANIAT. POLITIC*.
BY AX. M UIKLDER.
Tt we wish to findont if our friends
are truly the noble characters we
thought tlicin. just nominate tliein
for office, and we'll very soon flud out
we've been harboring a black-hearted
lot of villians i-, onr bosoms. I must
confess I am idiot enough to want an
i honest man in office once more. Hu" ,
j I can't help have read so uiaiynj
Sunday School books about G. \Ya.-if*i
inatou and other good and honest men
that it has forever ruined me in my
polisical desiros. 1 know that is old
logyisli in mc to think men like Wash
ington would suit these timos; aud,
therefore 1 warnall young people who
ever want t) h tve anything U>do with
politics to let any books, such a« I
read, alone, and stick to onr newspa
pers. When I saw Sam. J. Tilden's
name as the Democratic nominee, I
was rejoiced. For, you see, I believed
that he was an honest, truthful man
I thought, "Ah! at last we have n
' man whom they cannot accuse 01
I robbery, lying or murder." But,one
' day, I picked up a republican "paper,
ana—we.l, I hoi ed S. J. T. would
be hung, if it said oi'hiiii was
true. Why, it went on to prove that
he hud exhibited remarkable signs oj
of depravity in his early youth; and
that his whole lil« had been one o!
Un [WITH lie led villainy.
The Itcpublicans ran up the nnme !
of It. B. Hayes. "Here, then." I
thought, -'is a man whom the country |
must regard as the right one." Un
happily, though, I picked up a .Dem
ocratic paper that day, and was per- 1
I'eclly dumbfounded at what my eyes
saw. 1 couldn't be mistaken. Th -re 1
it was, That editor had kuowu him 1
even Iroui his youth up. As a boy 1
who was sneaking and sly. His 1
mother would give him two. nickels
for Sunday school, and lie'd.mako a
false return to the teacher and give 1
one. lie put tariu his hat when sent
to take up a collection, and kept what
"stuck." He grew up to bo a steward
iu the church, aud was trustee. HeM
tlieu make false returns of property. '
During the war he •'confl-.catcd" S4OO
belonging to a dead soldier's widow.
-And then it gave an account of the
late discoveries of his false returns of
property. I simply wauled to be cms
peror long enough to behead Mr.
Hayes. Well 1 got hold of an hides
pendent journal next. Ic proved very
conclusively to my mind that both men
were natural born pirate*, aud gave
both tlulr pictures, aud asked an
enlightened public If they were "go
iug to elect such a cut-throat looking
gang as that to the White House; any
sensible person could sue murder iu
Hayes' and robbery iu Tildcn's. 1 1
mentally resolved to votetor any one.
The truth of the business is, we need 1
honest men in office. But, if we take
the views of the two parties asguities
no sane man will vote fpr either can
didate, for, according to both factious
neither man is fit lor any place ol
honor.
The fact in, Messrs. Editors, it him
gotten to bo u perJcct farce the way
the papers and puities make up anil
invent lie alter lie upon Hie men who
are opposed to their pel view*. We
neeil good, honest men, and if we
place uien before the people well
known, without any Mich "record
hunting,'' we will have good men in
our high office*. The right man will
never need a lew uewspapers to make
hi* way clear. He'll certainly go
through on his own merit*, if lie
can't, we don't want liiin. I think >

[From the Fayettevillo Express ]
An amusing in. ident occorreil on
he Nashville and Cliatlauoosra mil
road the other day. A Tnllnhonm
grciitletnnii hoarded Iho tiain at that
place and mot a Georgia friend whom
he had not seen for some time. Tin
two took a scat together and chntlcd
tiliwuttlr about polities, the crops,
the weather, etc. Preser.llv the Tal
ialimna gentleman saw a veiv hand
sunn lady sitting on the opposite I
scat cutting the leaves of a new
book.
By Jove, isn't that a pretty woman?
he whispered to hi* friend.
Yes, she's passably .good looking,
was the guarded reply.
Passably good looking? was the
i.idignant rejoinder; why, she's a"
lovely as a speckled front iu clear wa
ter, and as proud looking as a peacock
with its tail spread.
Well, retorted the other, since yon
think her so charming aud so proud
I'll bet you a hat that I can
step over there a lid kiss he without
ruffling her loinper.
I'll take that bet! said the Talla
homa gentleman with an incredu
lous stare, your stock «of check is
heavy, I admit, but 1 don't think'
you have enough for a job of that
sort.
The gentleman from Georgia rose
qnietly from his sent stepped over to
the lady, put oue baud gently on her
shoulder, bent down gracefully and
kissed her lightly ou her ripe, rosy
mouth. She blushed confusedly, but
looked at him tenderly nevertheless,
and smiled.
Weil, that beats the de/!l! exclaimed
:he Tullalioina man as his Irion I re
turned to his seat. / never siw any
hing equal to your impudence iu m>
il'e.
There was nothing impudent about
-t, was the calm reply: I simply kissed
my wile, and 1 will take that hat when
we get to Nashville.
He got it.
A Sknuhi.k Doo.—Hero is an an
ecdote that come* to us all the way
from Australia; Sixty years ago. when
1 was a teacher in Kihualcum parish,
says Ailin Fraser, I was using whis
ky billets for my stomach's sake. Oue
day I dipped a piece ol cake iu if, and
gave it to the dog. He ate it up
curling up bis lips to avoid the taste.
Ere long he became tipsy— he lion led
most pitcouMl), aud naturally l-x>ked
up into my face as if for help. He.
began to stagger and fall like u drunk
en man. The appearance ot his eyes
and face was extraordinary. He lay
on the floor and howled until the ef
fects of the drink wore oil. This was
supreme folly—if won wicked. The
dog never forgot the Iriek. Whenev
eraftorward I wont to the press for
the bottle, he hastened to the outside
of the house. One day, the door be
ing closed, he sprang at one bolt
through a pane of glass, to get outside,
