Ho lives In peace and'plenty on a forty -

While men s re all around us, with hoarts,

Who own twd hundrod acres, and still are

His ts a pretty little farm^a pretty little

Looking as neat and tidy as the tidy liltlo

No weeds are in the corn-fields, no thistles
in the oats,
The horses show good keeping by their
fine and glossy coats;
In our people a renewed enthusiasm,
wbieh will not only guarantee «8 the

coming to attend to your affairs?”
"No, sir; I hope they will come.
Such Interference will consolidate our
own party and arouse it to action. We
have now a large majority iu the State,
and a nomination is an election. The
only thing we have to fear in Missis
sippi is division in our own ranks.”
“Do you think Northern speakers
could rally nnd reorganiz) the negroes
as Republicans ?”
"No, sir. The great fear the negro
had was that the Democrats would
make him a Slave again if they came
in power. They are now relieved from
that fear, and are not only satisfied
with the Democratic party, but are
warm advocates of Democratic men
and measures.”
“What course will you pursue if the
‘visiting statesmen’ come? ’
"We will get out our Polored brass
bands and bring the people together,
and we wifi put up colored Democratic
orators to attend to them. I have In
my district several coloTed Demo
cratic speakers who are thoroughly
posted as to tho rascality of the Re
publicans In the State as well as In the
Union, and they wtill make-it so hot for
the visiting orators, that I think they
will be glad to get home again.”
"What do you think wifi be the result
In Mississippi ?”
"I think that we wifi return a solid
Democratic delegation. My district is
TSinairy cbnsTd'efetl the moetlloubtftiU
but I have no fear of it. The whites
of the district are almost a unit for the
Democracy, and I have received letters
from prominent colored men In my
county,.tendering me their lupport.
Many of the colored men who voted
for Hayes voted for me, and I think I
shall be stronger with them this time
than before.”
"So you are equally prepared,
whether these Republican orators come
or whether they stay away ?”

mentioned to him by Pitkin on the 6th
of January. WTtness was then exam
ined by Gen. Butler in relatl»n to let
ters written by Anderson to witness, in
which he was requested to obtain the
letter, documents, &c., meaning the so-
called Shtiman letter. Witness dis
claimed knowing anything about what
letter or documents Anderson referred
to. Ho also testified that, he had writ
ten to Anderson for a description of
the document, but bad no idea at that
time what It was, and to his knowledge
Tiia wife knew no more about it than
he did. Anderson had never offered
him a thousand dollars, but had writ
ten that the document was worth a
thousand dollars. Hef never had any
intimation that his wife knew anything
about the Sherman dccoment.
After several more questions of no
importance, Mrs. Jenks tooklimiitand,
and testified that Anderson had writ
ten to her fj^m Philadelphia in rela
tion to a document which he termed
tho Sherman letter. She knew noth
ing of the document unttT last January.
She had seen it. Did not think that
she had the original document. Might
have had the document in her hand
two and a half minutss. At the time
she had it she was on the street. No-
i body gave it to her. She asked no
| permission to take It. She picked it
! up from a table in parlor P, St. Charles
Hotel. A number of visiting states-
• men and members of the returning
board, Gat field and Hale, were all
there. Sherman was not there. She
wintinto the street, and kept it about
two and a half minutes, apd presented
it to Weber at the entrance of the ho
tel. After giving the letter to Weber
he (Weber) remarked that Anderson
was not satisfied with his treatment,
Lmt wished to have a written guaran
tee. Iu reply to a question ns to fhe
contents of the letter handed by her to
Weber, witness repeated word fpr word
the contents of the Sherman letter as
heretofore published. She said that-
the letter was written iu the parlor.
The visiting statesmen were too busy
with tho returning board to notice
what was going on. She picked it up
and carried It to Weber. She had not
seen it since. She did not think that
Anderson wanted the Sherman letter
iu the correspondence he had with her
husband, because she did not think It
of any importance. She had come to
Washington on her own account. She
notified Kellogg before leaving New
Orleans that she did not know where
. v
ibe letter was, or whether It was In ex
istence after giving it to Weber.

These two Institutions—the family
and the Sabbath, came out of the gates
of £den fffiked together ; they cannot
be dUjointed. In the family the Sab
bath has its chief expressions, even
more than in the bouse of God ; for In
the sanctuary there is often, on occa
sion, the same worship on other days
as on that; but in the home there Is
no day like this one. No birthday nor
holiday resembles it. It Is ait unseen
but felt presence in every chamber and
upon every heatt; its touch is upon
every face, its toneiu every Voice ; its
light Is purer than the light of com
mon days, as If celestial beams were
braided iu with the rays that stream
through the window or fie upon the
threshold. The man-servant and the
maid-seivant rest; and even the horse
and the ox roam In the pasture or

Senate committee-rooms. Wbittemore,,

or t^o others, I think, wore the ones
present. ‘Dummy’ was at the door of
the room. Leslie informed us that he
had sent ‘Joe’ (meaning Joseph us
Woodruff) after the money. After a
while MTi Woodruff came in with a
package under his arm, which be hand
ed to LesU<\ or laid It on the table by
Leslie, and Leslie took charge of It. It
was a large square package. After
wards I saw Leslie in one of these
rooms, and he handed me a smaller
■packsgo about the shape of a brick,
which I took and eart h d home, and on
examination t found that It contained
about 85,000 In money. 1 wifi'•not be
posltliy. bat I think the sura of $30,-
000 wf(s to -be distributed among the
members of tho Senate Committee on
Finance, and there was some feeling
afterwards about sotne rumors that
Owens and Wbittemore bad got more
than other 8etiators. M
This tallies with Wbodtuff’a affida :
vit. as Swaiis Was a member of the Fi
nance Committee. From the Republi
can Printing Company, as well as from
Kimpton & Co., Senator Swafis drew
dividends. The books show that he
was one of the beneficiaries of tbs
"SundayBchool fund,” Os it was pious
ly called. Swaiis, too, received 82,500
of the appropriation of 8*250,000 for the
Republican Printing Company, made
on December 21,1872, and $5,000 of
'Hie Appropriation for $231,000, made
In 1873.
It is a pity that an Innocent man.
such as Swaiis professes to be, should
be branded as a bribe-taker and
thief, and it is only just to give him an
opportunity to clear himself. Tho
Frauds Committee assert that Swaiis
is guilty. Swaiis protests that he is
Innocent. This is a direct challenge to
the State and the committee. An in
dictment is easy to draw, and Swafis
will get impartial justice, beyond a
doubt. Hirsch, the old partner ol’
Swaiis, Is, we believe, the Circuit So
licitor, and he, of course, cannot be
trusted with the ptosecutiod of his ole
chum. This can be arranged lb Wll

"If we begin too early, the sap will
flow and coagulate about the inserted
bud and drown or smother it.”
This Is not unfrequently the case
with the cherry "And Jhe peach, and
especially with the former; and if
done too early, the after growth will
often push out and destroy the bud.
If too late, the bark cannot be raised
by the knife without too great distur

Information has reached the Colum
bia Register that S. A. Swaiis, ex-Sen-
ator from 'Williamsburg county, who
resigned last winter, is hard at work
organizing the Republicans for the fail
campaign, proclaiming himself a po
litical martyr, asserting his Innocence
and shouting "If I am guilty, let them
convict me.” Swaiis was one of the
last of the thieves Jo leave the Senate,
and was Impudent and vainglorious to
the last. Tho privilege of retiring Into
private fife was accorded to him, but;
as he is not satisfied and wants "four
yeare mors stealing," the courts must
be invited to give him their attention.
There is no more doubt of the guilt
of Swafis than there is of his wheezy
audacity. The Joint CommitteQ on
Frauds have the testimony In readi
ness. Here is a specimen. Josephus
Woodruff, on July 14, 1877, made affi
davit as follows;
“At the time of the passage of the
Validating Act in 1872, Mr. Leslie In
formed me that Kimpton had made a
certificate of deposit in the Central
National Bunk of Columbia in tnyname
for $30,000, which was to be drawn as
soon as the Act was approved, and
asked me to dfaw It and bring It to the
Railroad Committee room, and give It
to him. He said it was to be divided
between six Senators, namely, Leslie,
Owens, Nash, Wbittemore, H. F. Hayne
and Swafis. Kimpton told mo the
same relative to the deposit, He was
staying at the Columbia Hotel. I drew
the money and handed It to Leslie In
the Railroad Committee row
wraarerffflteT^ were other Senator present
to repeat the operation. If growth
continues from ten to fifteen days af
ter budding, the buds wifi be well estab
lished and success secured. The ban
dages should be loosened In ten or flf%
teen days after the buds are set, and
at the approach of winter they should
be entirely removed, because ice Is
apt to form about tho incision and
injure the bud. In some experiments
last year we Inserted a lot of buds on
the eighth day of September; the
buds not being sufficiently matured,
the abundance and activity of tbe sap
pushed them out. It Is always best,
At the last meeting of the Lime Kiln

Let us see the way In which a boy
of ten years gets up In the morning,
works, plays, studies, and we will tell
what kind of man he wifi make. The
boy that is late at-t>reakfast, and late
at school stabds a poor chance to be
a prompt man. The boy who neglects
his studies, be they eVer so small, and
then excuse himself by saying-, ‘T for

reliable man. And tbe boy who finds
pleasure In the suffering of weaker
things, will neVer be a noble, generous,
klnd'y man—a gentleman.
