?he Life Harp.
The noiseless moving hours are brlnginj
Changes; ever changes ringing
On the harp of life, -whose measures
Beat to Bolemn sounds and pleasures.
"With low tones of misery mourning,
Blowly, sadly, in the morning ;
But tne shades of evening stealing
O'er us hear its merry pealing.
Changing, changing, ever changing,
Oh! life harp thy strains are blending
Karthly tones with heaven 1}" breathing
Holy thoughts with carcs en wreathing
O'er earth's wide wilderness it sings
Till death with rude hands sweeps th<
strings,
One wailing song, the harp is broken,
* OftAlrilll
Its dying noiea mi; otivuj
But when the strings are rudely riven
The echo sounds afar in heaven
And greets the soul just newly corac
In welcome to its heavenly home.
Thro' the days of our rejoicing,
Thro' the days of prayer and fasting,
When demon doubts around us sweep
In darkening robe3 and bid us weep;
When hope, with gentle guiding hand
Points upward to the better land,
Ita measured murmurs still beat on,
As fall the life one by one.
Oh! dear life harp, what hand woul<
stay
Thy fitful music for ono day!
One hour, one moment let it be,
In life or death 'tis destiny.
We would not know when we were bles
II ail nours were uuurs ui icoi,
Kor would we know the doubts of love
If human hearts could never rove.
For those who suffer most, love best,
Know most, feel most, from out the pas
They lessons learn, and memories sad,
Of other days make these seem glad.

Mr. Sumner's Letter.

been tho friend of their raco and is
glad thoy consider him tho special
advocate of their rights. They dc
him ample justice when thoy believe
that his counsel at this critical junct
ure would be free from personal or

trasts the two candidates?Greeley

at any time shown any sympathy witl:
tho colored race. Horace Greelcj
earnestly desired that tbo colored cit

these contrasts which are marked, il
cap ?ot be forgotten that Horacc

rights not to be disturbed by partisan

sides all this which may fitly guide
you in determining between the two
candidates, it is my duty to recom
mend you that as citizens of the Uni
ted States and part of the counlry
your welfare is indissolubly associa
ted with that of the whole country,
where all prosperous j-ou will be gain

? tho time has not come for something
better than the sword, and whether a
character like Horace Greeley docs
not give stronger assurance of good
1 government than can bo found in the
insulter of tho colored race already
famous for the rings about him, and
his plan in aptitudo for civil life.

NORTH CAROLINA.
Col. William Johnston, of Charlotte,
X. C., was interviewed recently in New
York by a correspondent of the New
York Herald.
Col. Johnston expressed the opinion
that the Liberal ticket in North Caroli
na would be carried by a majority of
S,000. The sentiment of the colored
people was for Grant. This was due, he
thought, to the influence of Loyal
League organizations. Col. Johnston
said:
"Thero would be no trouble at the
South but for the Loyal Legues. They
have been the prime cause of all disor
ders even in other States than South
Carolina. It was Governor Scott's (of
South Carolina) assertion that the rifle
and ball in negro hands was the only
means by which to govern the Southern
people, followed by his indiscriminate
arming of the negroes as militiamen,
that gave birth to the Ku Klux Klan.
The Ku Klux was organized as a purely
defensive measure against the prompt
ings of men like Scott uttered to the
negroes; but imprudent rash men in
the Ku Klux led to the condemnation of
that organization. Instead 01 remain
ing a defensive organization their fears,
and, perhaps, their spirit of retaliation
led them iutoactsof violent aggression,
and tor these I myself condemn them as
heartily as anybody."
"How does the South look upon
Grant"
"As a bold, though weak and vacilla
ting man, whose vacillation renders his
boldness dangerous. He has supported
State Governments at the South that
have been a curse to the South. At the
request of vagabond Executives, such as
Bullock, Holden and Scott, be has used
the military arm where it should never
have been interposed, and by sending
them armed support whenever they re
quested it he enabled them under shad
ow of his sanction to carry out many
infamous schemes of their own. The
Southern people do not like urani ne
causo he lifts been regardless of rights
both State and Federal?both in the ex
ecution and in the framing of laws for
the South, He has been harsh in the
extreme in these affairs, and they look
upon him as a man disposed to exercise
at all times the military instead of the
civil law. It is, in fact looked upon as
a contest between centralization and
civil liberty that is to be decided in the
coming National campaign; and it is
the opinion of the Southern people that
if they fail to offer resistance to these
measures they will go under, and that
when they go under the militarv system
the North too will be compelled to suc
cumb to the same power.
"Why, Colonel, is the South so frank
in accepting Mr. Greeley?"
"Well, mainly because he has always
been so frank with the South. In sla
very times he was unwavering in his
fight for abolition, and the South knew
* * 1
it. Since aDomion nas ocen at-uievuu
ho has advocated peace in every form
that he could do. Ev?n during the war
lie desired to reach peace by the quickest
methods, and went to meet Thompson,
Tucker and Saunders at Niagara, with
that purpose in. view. Again, he held
out the olive branch when the war was
over, by going bail for Jefferson Davis.
And when Lee surrendered, he advo
cated universal amnesty and recom
mended a liberal reconstruction of the
Union- We regard him as a man of
noble and generous impulses, against
whose integrity and honesty nothing
can be imputed.either by either friend
or foe. The South will take him because
( he is an honest man, and they know
what he means. When he fights he
fights, and when he stacks his arms he
stacks them, because he wants peace
and wants others to enjoy peace with
him."
"And these are your general views- of
the sentiments of the people South ?"
"Yes; they are the views as I under
stand the people u> express rnem.
There is one thing, however, in a gener
al way that has struck my attention,
and that was the attitude of Stephens
and Voorhees in opposing Mr. Greeley.
The}- both belong to the old-type Demo
cratic school, and their defection has
done much good among men of their
class by convincing them that there was
110 "sell-out" of the Democratic party
in the endorsement of Greeley. The
Democratic party did not go over "body
and breeches," althoughrVoorhees has
sinoe recognized the power of the move
ment and accepts the ticket. This will
serve to convince many now that the
movement is sincere, and that each
party is still in existence, though now
united in one common eftort."
Behind the Scenes.?A leading Re
Eublican, says the Charleston Courier,
as in preparation, and will shortly
issue, a pamphlet showing up the ras
calities practiced in carrying through
sundry bills in the Legislature. The
parts the different State ofllcials took in
the matter will be detailed, and their
names given; also, what' bribes and
amounts were used to make successful
sundry iniquitous measures. The au
thor expresses himself as heartily sick
and disgusted at the rascality that has

Ex-Senator Hendricks, the distin
guished Indiana statesman, made his
opening campaign speech on a recent
occasion at Indianapolis. lie advocated
tlie cordial uuion of Liberal Republicans
and 3)i mocrats, and showed in what
respect he considered both Greeley and
Brown worthy of support. Greeley's
administration he contended would be
safe and thrifty. Mr. Hendricks sug
gested as the watchword of the Liberal
campaigners, "just laws and public vir
tue."

:he $500 prize and then sell at the fancy
price of twenty-five cents per pound, he
ivill receive $600, showing a profit on

"Neigh!" sbow their displeasure at
every attempt to use any other prepara

A Debt of Two Million Dollars
lNNULLED.?The Columbia correspon
ent of the Charleston News writes:
Judge Willard announced his decision
>day in the case of the State ex rela
ioue Edwin F. Gary, auditor, vs. Park
r and others, State and county treasur
rs. This is the Blue Ridge scrip case,
'he decision is very lengthy, and en
irely satisfactory to the plaintifife. The
ct of Assembly under which the scrip
ras issued is pronounced null and void,
s contravening the clause of the Con
titution of the United States prohibit
ng the States from issuing bills of cred
;; and the injunction heretofore granted
gainst the receipt of the scrip for taxes
nd the issuing of it is sustained, and
emains of fullforce. The counsel in
lie case were Pope and Haskell for the
IaintifFs, Magrath, Melton and Cham
erlain for the defendants. The amount
aved the State is something over two
lillion dollars. The opinion of Judge
Villard concludes as follows: "Consid
ring the act in its entire aspect, as well
s its integral parts, it is clear that the
iegislature intended that the scrip
hould circulate as money, and that for
his reason the provisions of the act au
liorising the issue of scrip are in conflict
?ith the prohibitions or the Constitu
ion of the United States as to the emis
ion of bills of credit by States. The
ct being unconstitutional, it is void,
lo far as it contemplates the issue of
cvenue bond scrip it is unimportant,
herefore, to inquire whether the scrip
hat was actually issued was conforma
ble to, and anthorized by, the act. The
njunction heretofore issued must be
ontinued until the final hearing and
;etermination of the action."

For Fcranlo Complaints* in young or old

ance, founded on proof, that no harm can arise
from its use in any quantity. ,
That which protects from or prevents this dis
order most be of immense service hi the com
munities where It prevails. Prevention is better k'
than cure, for the patient escapee the risk which
he most run in violent attacks of this baleftddis* '
temper. This "Cess" expels the miasmatic
poison of Fever and Aole from the system,
and prevents the developmestrof the disease, If /

symptoms. It is not only the best remedy ever
yet discovered for-this class of complaints, but
also the cheapest. The large quantity we sup
ply for a dollar brings It wlthm the reaeh of '<
everybody; and in bilious districts, where .
Feveb and ague prevails, everybody should
k> now it freftlv. both for cure and tJts*
taction. It is hoped this price will place it wfthin
the reach of all?the poor as well as the tick
A groat superiority of this remedy over tar
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
euro of Intermittents is, that it cod tains no Qui.
nine or mineral; consequently it produces no
quinism or other injurious effects whatever upon'
the constitution. Those cured by It are kit aa
healthy as If they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of dis
orders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh. Asth
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen,
Hysterics, Pain in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis,
and derangement of the Stomach, all of wnich,
when originating in this cause, put on the in
termittent type, or become periodical. This
"Core" expels the poison from the blood, ant
consequently cures them all alike. It is an in

tried it, know that it eared them: those who hare
not. know that it cares theirneighbors and (Heads;
and all know that what it does once it does al
ways?that it never fails through any fiinlt or neg

thousands of certificates or their remarkable coree
of the following complaints, bat such cares are
known in every neighborhood, and we need noS
publish them. Adapted to all ages and conditions
In all climates; containing neither calomel nor any
deleterious drag, they may be taken with safety
by anvbody. Their sugar-coating preserves them
ever Ircsli, and makes them pleasant to take, wttto
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from
their use in any quantity.
They operate by thelrpowerlhl influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate
it into healthy action?remove the obstructions
of the stomacn, bowels, liver, and other organs of
the body, restoring their irregular action to health,
and by correcting, wherever they exist, such de
rangements as are the first origin of disease.
Minute directions are given In the mapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which tbeee
PWa rapidly cure:?
For DyipejMla or Zediyeedw,
new, Liuiffnor and Xmmm of App?HW, thqy
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For JLiver Complaint and its various symp
toms, Bilious Hcadocbe, Sick Head
ache, jMMltce or 6r*?a Slcfaaew, Ml*
lou Colic and Billou JPevora, they should
be judiciously taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the obstructions which
cause it.
For Dysentery or Btarrtwa, bat one
mild dose is generally required.
For Rheamatlain, Oout, Crard, Pal*
plration of the Heart, Pala la tke
Side, Back and X*o4??, they should bo contin
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system, with such change those
complaints disappear.
For Dropur and Bropslcal flwelUafS
racy bxiouki du wi&uu m uuu UUIJU,
to nroduec the effcct of a drastic purge.
I: or Havpre**tan a large ao?e should b
taken as it produces the desired effect by sym
pathy.
As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pill* to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad
vantageous where no serious derangement exists?
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a
dose of these Pill* makes him feel decidedly bet
ter, from their cleansing and renovating effect on
the digestive apparatus.
