"The'-denouement to the story was sad and startling. -One day a~ man, orn out and travel-stained, sought refuge at' the house and was admitted into the young woman's presence. She gave a cry of rapture, for it was her Northern lover, and then ex claimed with consternation : "'How did you get here ?' "'By crossing the line.' "'But if you are found here they will kill you.' " I could not resist seeing you.' "Then in an agitated manner she informs him that a detachment of Southern soldiers was encamped be yond the small wood and that the officer in command was his former rival. "'You must go at once,' she urged. 'They come here for supplies, and if they find you they will kill you as a spy.' "'I know that,' he returned in a gloomy manner. "At this moment the door was burst open and a number of soldiers entered the room. "'Ah, here is the spy,' said a voice. It was the Southern rival. "'I am no spy.' "'What are,you doing here?' "'You should know.' "At this the Southerner waved his arm to his men. 'Leave the room,' he said. The men obeyed. ''No,sir,' said the Southerner, SHOWING UP THE FORCE BILL. In Address Before Southern Democrats in New York-The Unconstitutionality, Unw isdom and Sectionalism of the Proposed Measure Strongly set Forth. [News and Courier.1 The following extracts are taken from an address, one of the ablest on the sub ject which has yet appeared, read before the Association of Southern Demoerats in New York by W. J. Hardy. The address made such an impression on the society that at a meeting held on September 14 last, ten thousand copies were ordered for distribution: "A particular reference to the mar vellous facilities-offered by the Act for the perpetration of frauds in elections is needless, as the people are at this stage concerned with the motives that prompt the measure rather than the detail of its methods. "Put in force throughout the United States,'this Act will place the elections, State and Federal, under the direction and control of a million autocrats, and scatter upwards of $20,000,000 at each election among practical politicians and workers at the polls. And at the beck of this mass of partisan office-holders are the Federal troops, which fact, how ever, adds no terror to the provisions of the bill, for those who have had the experience prefer the rule of the soldier to that of the returning boards. "It is claimed that the bill is sanc tioned by the letter of the Constitution, but at best this claim is debatable, and, of the other hand, the spirit of the Constitution inhibits it. From time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary the regulation of elections has been a State prereogative, and to want only to disturb a custom rooted in the sense and understanding of the people is revolutionary. But it is easier to find a legal sanction for the bill than to approve its wisdom or ex pediency. It implies that the people are corrupt and incapable of' conduct ing their elections so as to impress theiz own wishes; and displaces their offi cials, chosen by them and answerable to them, to substitute a cloud of irre. sponsible sub-appointees of the Presi dent of the United States, who arc assembled to be of superior clay and exalted above partnership. "Said Speaker Reed, naively enough: 'Let us cut loose from State eloctioni and do our own registration, our own .counting and our own certification; 0 CHANGE . SHOES + FURNISHINI "'You cannot take me alive,' was the sullen answer. "The young woman threw herself before the Southerner. "You know he is no spy !' she ex claimed. "'Well, he will be shot as one.' "'Have you no mercy?' "'What mercy have you had for me! He shall die like a dog.' "'See,' she implored. 'I beg on my knees. Could you not withdraw your men, or so arrange it that he may re turn?' " 'Possibly I could.' "'And you will?' "'On one condition.' " 'Name it.' " 'He bent over and whisperd in her "'Never!' she exclaimed. "'Then he shall.die.' "'Not as a spy!' exclaimed the Northener, rushing for the window. There was a sharp report. The North erner staggered, placed his hand to his breast, and then fell to the floor, dead, shot by his rival before the eyes of the young woman who had been the oc casion of the bitter vendetta. That strange fate which had permitted the meeting of these two men under such circumstances had occasioned one more tragedy among the many remarkable and sorrowful events of the war. The opportunity for a bitter revenge had been off'ered and accepted. The North erner was buried, the young woman became a nurse, and after the war re tired to a convent, where doubtless she stml cherses the memory of her lover. and the scheme of the bill is accord ingly vital and thorough. It uproots the autonomy of. the States, extin guishes popular -suffrage, makes the Congress, tl.e Executive and the judi ciary creatures of returning boards, erects the Republican party into a self perpetuating oligarchy, and through the machinery of a patriarchal govern ment administers both the State and national affairs from Washington. "Alexander Hamilton was of the opinion that such Federal interference with elections would justify revolution; and to have claimed the power for Con gress to pass such a bill would have de feated the Constitution when originally submitted to the States. "The alleged object of the bill is the protection of the freedman in the en joyment of his franchise, but the negro neither asks, nor wishes,. nor needs Federal interposition in his behalf, and the Hon. H. G. Ewart, Republican Congressman from North Carolina, characterizes it as 'a measure which will untold miseries. to the woes of the people it is designed to help.' The black is not oppressed, nor does he suf fer, nor is he menaced in his person or estate. No people of equal degree rival him in comfort, his happiness and con tent are proverbial, his thrift and pros perity grow steadily, each year increases his basket and store, and he is in per feet accord with his neighbor. "The advocates of this bill will know that the colored vote as a race- vote is rapidly disintegrating, and will never again become solid, unless inflamed by race antagonism and reorganized into the old race leagues; and their design of restoring these leagues is conspicuous in the bill. They send their function aries throughout the South with power to appoint unlimited marshals at five dollars per day; and the influence can not be estimated of this unlimited cor ruption fund strewn broadcast over re mote agricultural regions by practical politicians versatile in the forms of law and political expedients and uncon strained by scruples. "Bribery,' says the Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, 'is an evil thing, and a grave peril today in the Common wealth.' In 1888 his party corrupted three States to elect a President; and they have already begun to exact from their pensioners-richer levies than ever before, with which to defile the fall elections. This is- indeed, 'a grave peril'; and yet these huge funds are in considerable when compared with the BUS ES!J HATS That is the reason one could see a past in her eyes as she strolled through the orange grove."

Take drink ing, for instance. When your blest friend comes up, slaps you on the back, and says: "Old man, what'll you have?" I tell you its hard to resist. No les than seven fellows have asked me that question to-day. Miss Pinkerly (admniringly)-And I can vouch for It, Mr. Tutter, that your answer was always the same. Tutter (emphaticlly)-It was. unlimited fund to debauch unlimited b voters, which the force bill places at I their command. If they secure this 'vote of continued victory,' as speaker t Reed calls it, their 'trusted men' will t have 'the necessary funds to distribute a five dollar per diems without stint. c 'None will get away, all will vote the s Republican ticket' for that prodigal t consideration; and the Hon. William t W. Dudley's hope will begratified, that p 'the country will pass into Republican 't hands, never to leave it. s "The capabilit,ies of this new branch t of Federal patronage are suggested in a the fact that under the Federal super- e visors' law 6,000 Republican supervis ors' and 11,600 Republican deputy mar shals (over 150 for onepoll) haveranged the lower precincts of New York at one Presidential election. These mercena ries were actuated by thesingle mind, to i preventDemocrats from voting byfair e means or foul; and the chief supervisor, c who has become a prominent feature of elections in that city, is now wrang- s ling over these 'spoils' with the Repub lican bosses of the election districts, who t claim, with reason, that their follcwers are as well entitled as his own to the < benefits of an Act passed for the profit of the venal. "In 1878 a Federal supervisor in New York city. swore in one complaint against 9,300 voters, all Democrats, as commissioner issued 5,000 warrants re turnable before himself, and thus com pelled thousands of citizens of the United States, all Demoerats, to sur render their naturalization papers under threats of a proseention which meant ruin to persons of their restricted means. These. illustrations shadow forth the depravities of the force bill, and should bring the people of the North to a realization of the fact that, while the chief burden of the measure will fall upon. the South, it Is by no means a purely sectional matter-it concerns the whole Union. In. their journals and in Congress the'Bepubli cans have repeatedly urged that there: are plenty of districts in the North where the bill ought to be 'made effec tive,' and if it be applied to one State it must inevitably be applied to all. Moreover, when the franchise is pol luted in one district the entire elec tion is tainted; and in 1876 three South era returning boards, such as this bill proposes to restore, elected a President of the United .States by patent franzda practiced-in defiance of the people, the Legislature and the Courts, and there ti.
