f;Euough Pali re," said Juliet, abruptly.i
"They are all cheval'urs (Tinduxtrie in this!"
jTbere wan yet enough of the woman in
her to shrink from this species of mock
?y.
v-rWell, we must meet M. Gerat&in, or
Oiliren Marcus, with a counterplot?and i
that a bold one. Denounce him as a usurer, j
e-swindler, a felon, a false democrat, and !
J-.answer for the re-st. The circle of :nv j
acquaintance includes a few liberal-mind
ed (gentleman, who, for a slight considera- \
iion, will hound on a mob against a man |
ao .denounced. The result will be the to- !
tdl and eternal eclipse of M. Gerstain, !
alias Marcus."
. Juliet shuddered; but she Paid, readily
qrio'rigb, "So be it. When will you act?"
'.'.'Immediately! I will operate a slight
c^uiige of costume; and, this afternoon,
the trick will be done, should an oppor
tunity serve."
' All that afternoon, in truth, Marcus
-was followed by a loafing idler in a blouse,
lie was busy, and gave the spy not a little
trouble. The affairs of the Commune :
vpr'ere growing black and dismal. Defeat j
was without the walls, dissension within.
.No ingenuity could gloze over the ill
pews that came in hourly from the out
j>9sts; no individual faith and fervor could
teach the dispirited, ill-fed, ill-disciplined
soldiery to hope and combat. The futuro
of 'the Commune looked blurred in the
btuoke of iucendiarism, in the vapor of
'blood.
' At last, Clement saw an opportunity.
iHe had followed Marcus to the Place de
Bourse; and here the Jew'B horse was
slopped by a vast crowd of National
Guards, workmen, and women. TheDODu
lace were exasperated against its elect;!
and that easy cry of "Treiison!" was rai&ed
again. Marcus still retained his popular
ity; but Clement saw that it needed but a
"word to turn the voice of the multitude
against this sole remaining favorite.
' The crowd, surging and swerving about
ihe Bourvi steps, caught sight of Marcus,
lie was hailed with eager cries.
Speak to the people, Citizen Repreaen- !
Jant! Speak to the people!"
" Obeying the behest, the Jew mounted:
lhe Bourse steps, and proceeded to say a '
few words, advising patience, moderation,
fortitude.
Ay! patience!" muttered Clement to a
blouse. "And that's the man who cheated
housands a few years ago?that's Ger?
jtain, the banker!"
He continued in this strain. The peo
ple were discontented. The rumor spread, 1
{one, swelled to a cry, a yelL
*' "Enough! enough! ? swindler?Jew? '
usurer?thief! Enough, G era tain! Down 1
with the banker!"
Marcos' face paled. He was silent a mo- I
pent, then paid, slowly, "Of what am I
accused, citizena? and by whom!"
Clement saw that none would speak? j
that the Jew's firm attitude had already '
half subdued the rumor. So reluctantly,
lor a moment, he rose on a cafe chair, and
pried, MI accuse you of being the swindler,
the fraudulent bankrupt, Gere tain, of Ger- j
stain and Co!"
Marcus could scarcely discern his ac- ;
cutier's face, but he heard the words, and \
felt that the moment had come when be :
inust plead for hia life.
He stood erect Ho asked for silence !
jrith a ware of the hand, and said, in deep, j
ringing tones, "This is true, citizens. But
bear me. iou Know 11 towaraa you a >
have acted against the spirit of the sacred '
jvords, Equality, Fraternity. If any of )
you whom I helped, to the best of my j
power, in bygone days, be present here, '
they will bid you hear me. I am the ;
bunker, Gerstaio. A woman who htm :
danced at Imperial balls, who has flaunted !
iier luxury in your faces, whom you all i
know by name, entrapped me, entangled j
m?, led me to ruin and dishonor. I em- j
barked my fortune, the fortune of others, j
in mines belonging to her. Those mines
were worthless, and she knew it. I loved
her, and she cast me off when I had served
her vile purpose. * make this no exciise,
no plea for pardon. But the few words I
am about to add may bear weight with
you. I haye toiled six years in utter pov
erty, with the blight of shame upon me;
and, citizens, to-day I can say I have
made the utmost amends in my power.
Every debt, even to the smallest, of Ger
s tain's bank was paid yesterday, with an
interest of six j>er cent.**
Lofid cheer* interrupted the speaker,
continued:? .

Addretx??th tp f. French mob, ,?uch
j words could have but one effect. Ther
1 was a wild cry of applause. A thousam
' caps were lifted, a thousand handa wavei
i "Couragv!" and "Pardon!"
I "Vict Iq (Jommuiu.! Fire Citizen Mai
cus!"
Then Marcus rose aprain, and criec
i "But he who accuses me! Let him com
forward." .
! A pale, lived face rose above the sea o
| heads. A we.ik, cadaverous form pushei
through the crowd to the Bourse steps.
'Who are you ?" cried Marcus. "Was i
1 you accused mei"
I "I accuse 110 honest man like yoUi citi
j zcu. I!y bamu is Paul Lajjarde!"
CHAPTER XXVI. ]

An amazed cry rose from several part
1 I '! ! ?

*Ay, it i>?it is Lagarde'"
Systematic vaguboudage had made thi
! ne'er-do-well acquainted with ?maip
; strange bed-fellows; one cannot be nio
1 as to the society one keeps at the sign o
, the "Belle Etoile." So there were wit
I nesscs enough to speak to Paul's identity
' despite the havoc sickness and privatioi
had made in his face und figure.
I He reached the topmost step at last
! and then turned sharply round, and point
i iag to a spot in the crowd, where thi
! mat<ses swerved and shook with the efforti
of oue terrified man to escape, ho cried,
j "Seize that man!"
A dozen hands were laid on the strug
blanched by terror, a face uppoared abov<
the level of the crowd.
"De Boisrobert!" exclaimed Marcus, ir
1 * low voice.
j Lagarde heeded him not. Ilis thin face
; worked with passionate hatred.
"This is Citizen Marcus' accuser!" he
1 cried. "Look at him?look at me and heai
how tit he is to come forward in the cause
of virtue! His assumed name is De Bois
robert. Hi?i real name he himself knowe
not. He was an idle, dissolute clerk in a
notary's office ten years ago. He robbed
his master, and was condemned to the
galleys. He escaped, after undergoing
eighteen months' imprisonment, and lived
?heaven knows how?in hiding for two
or three months. Then he reappeared in
Paris with a little money, aud some letters
of introduction; and began life again as
M. Clement de Boisrobert. Since then he
has lived as many other men of his class
live in Puris. He played lansqueuet with
vnnrirr Kno-liwh nrthlnmpn. iiiv?nita Run
gian princes', proud to know one of tha
lions of the fashionable world of Paris.
He received pay from the secret Bervice
fund of the Empire. lie was a spy and
gamester. Now, hear my personal charge
against him. He had reasons of his own
to desire my disappearance. He was cap
tain of my company of Gardes Natioa
ales. Wantonly, gaily, he sent tifty men
on & useless and l'utal exj>editiout in order
that I, among the tifty, might fall and be
heard of no more. Citizens, I was griev
ously wounded. I received a bullet in the
breast, and lay as dead for twelve hours.
Then some poor peasants from the village
of Boulogne found me, took me to their
half-ruined cottage, nursed me through
fever, delirium and weakness, that made
me as a little child. I crept into Paris as
Boon as 1 could move?four days ago?
and sought the villain you hold, to tear his
black heart from his breast. Choquard,
Zabrinski, if you are here, come forward,
and bear witness against him!"
"No need!" cried the crowd. He is
judged! His face is enough?look at it#"
? And truly his face was twisted and dis
colored like that of a man who felt he de
served no mercy, and who expected none.

Women gibed at the wretch; men buf
fetted hint in the face. J u.-tice, mercy,
was forgotten. The |>eople had puttered
to much at tlie hand* of such as this man.
But Marcus rained hid voice tranquilly,
dispassionately, remarking, justly, "The
man must not be condemned unheanj,.
Take hiui to the Hotel de Vilh^ffoTcourU

Paul adnritt?jil_RC-hUch plea. He rope

"I waal"
"I!"
"I!"
Many among the crowd claimed to
have been present.
"Was this man that spy!"
"Ay, it was he!" cried the former con
spirator, recognizing the cpy at last.
The crowd was dragging its prey away,
but, by a gesture, Paul implored another
moment. He drew u letter from his jack
et, and read the denunciation of Fran
cisque a* a Republican, penued by Cle
ment de Boisrobert.
"There!" ci ied Lagnrde?"compare that

And he threw the paper to the group
that surrounded the spy.
Clement's pockets were searched in a
moment.
A note-book was found. The handwrit
ings were compared. A mad rush?aud
the crowd was hurrying' to the Palaia
Royal, with the spy in its centre.
In those quiet, laughing gardens of
Philippe Egalite's palace, a summary act
of justice was about to be accomplished.
Six National Guards were hastily chosen
b>\ the crowd.
The culprit was dumb with despair. Ha
submitted sullenly to be pushed against
the railings of the square. He stared
vacantly when he was ordered to kneeL
Then, suddenly, his eye brightened vin
dictively. Choquard's tall form appeared
on the margin of the crowd.
"One moment!" the spy said, huskily?
"one moment, citizens. If I am to die, I'll
die in good company."
The blouBes stared at him in amaze
ment
"Oif with his bead!" said one, contemp
tuously. "White-livered at the end!
These are the officers who sent honeet
workhig-men to death!"
"No, no!" said Clement. Then, in a
Irmfl vni<?a Ka nAinfmnr tn
quard, "You see thut brave staff officer?
You are judges here?eh? Well, seize him
rs a thief?a thief! It was he roBbed the
Castlo?hayolles live years ago!"
Choquard advanced with porfect self
possession.
"Ay, my friends, I was indiscreet
enough to look into the family secrets of
the noble De C'liayolles. This is what I
discovered."
He produced a paper, and read.
"The wo.-ds I am about to write were
intended to atone for the great sin of my
life/ You don't want any sentiment, eh,
citizens? Here's to business! But lirstly,
prisoner, where were you born?"
-At Rouen," answered Clement, in a
choking voice.

"Klife Yvon!"
"(iood! Now I will resume my reading.
Hum! hum! 'Prayers ? forgiveness ?'
That's not it! Ah, here: 'I was legally

A wild ehriek broke from Clement's
lip's.
"My father! It was my father! Fool!?

stood opposite the writhing figure.

Sectional Hatred.
ij Though this be the centennial year,
land the apostles of progress are pro
it ] claiming.au era of fraternity and good
I feeling between the two sections, we
see already on the eve of tho Presiden
; tial election, a cropping out of
j the old spirit of sectional bate,
| which will not down at any
! one's bidding. We see enough
. of it in the utterances of party leaders
land the leaditig articles of party jour
9 mils. Jealousy of the South and ha
I tred of the South, are set on flame by
| all the arts of the demagogue, and
s whfthorin Imlls of Comrress, on the
f hustings, or through the public press,
a the most rabid utterances of Radical
f partisans are made the potent means
- of alienating the sections, and serving
'? the base purposes of campaign strat
? egy and party success.
During the present session of Con
?i gress the most bitter speeches, fiauut
-jing "the bloody shirt" and teeming
31 with misrepresentation and abuse of
' j the South are those which have been
j most l>old]y applauded and most wide
j ly circulated. Morton and Blaine
" have had the ear of their colleagues
' and have been applauded to 'the echo
}iiu the galleries; and with a*full
I knowledge of the existing sectional
1 jealousy and distrust, they have
sought to fan the flame, and to add
fuel to the fire to advance their owu
selfish purposes.
What constitutes Blaine's and Mor
ton's strength with the Radical masses
if it is not this feeliug, which finds ex
pression in the bitter harangues of
their leaders. Ho strong is the feeliug
that it is sufficient to over-ride all the
consequences of the late disgraceful
exposures of the ex-speaker, and turn
a sentence of condemnation into an
apotheosis of the successful leader.

the honied cocnpliments, the fraternal
greetiugs, and the hypocritical pro
fessions of bridging "the bloody
chasm," burying the hatchet and cul
tivating sentiments of a common
brotherhood. Our Northern brethren
remind us too much of our colored
brethren at home; they talk one way
and act another. They have so often
deceived us that we distrust all their
professions, and to restore confidence
which is a plant of slow growth, we
shall require something more than
words and perhaps more thau one
Presidential election to assure us of
their sincerity. In the meantime we
hold them enemies in war, in peace
friends.
The Republican Nominations at Cin
cinnati.
We publish elsewhere the details of
the various ballottings which resulted
in the nomination of Governor Hayes,
of Ohio, as the Republican candidate
for the Presidency, and Wm. A.
Wheeler, of New York, as the candi
date for the Vice-Presidency. The
result will not surprise any one who
is familiar with the proceedings of
nominating conventions, and who is
aware how ofteu the claims of promi
nent candidates are ignored, and some
unknown individual is taken up for
the purpose of reconciling opposing
interests and rival jealouses. Cincin
nati has been no exoeption to the gen
eral rule. Blaine, Morton, Bristow
and Conkling were the leading candi
dates with the chances largely in fa
vor of the Ex-Speaker. Yet he has
been defeated by a j?mbi nation of his
opponents ?be^?ists their votes for
Gomtrcriiays, of Ohio, as a compro
"mise candidate. At this defeat ot the
blatant demagogue, and bitter Radi
cal Blaiue, tbe South has good reason
to rejoice whatever may be the ulti
mate result of the electiou. It may be
that Blaine could be more easily de
feated, but hia election would be the
continuance of the present corrupt
rule at Washington, and the perpetua
tion of the bitter rivalriespand section
al animosities of the past. Governor
Hayes represents a better element of
Republican rule and his nomination
is a concession to the moderate coun
sels of the party.
But the nomination at Cincinnati
concerns us but little if the right man
be nominated at St. Louis. The man
who can carry the State of New York,
according to the Herald, will be Pres
ident, and from recent*indications Til
den will be the man. The man who
rolled up a majority of 50,000 against
Dix, overcoming a like majority, can
certainly carry the entire State.
The Fourth of July.
Tht coming Fourth of July will be
the Centennial Ann! versa# of the De
claration of Independence at Philadel
phia. The President in his official
capacity, based upon a resolution pass
ed by Congress, has Issued a procla
mation, recommending to the people
of the several States, that tbey cele
brate the Fourth of July, by causing
to be delivered on that day a historical
sketch of the county or town, and
that a copy of such sketch be tiled iu
the clerk's office of the county, and
one in the office of the Librarian of
Congress, and recommending that the
day be celebrated as proposed, and the
historical address delivered as sugges
ted .
There is not a State in the Union
which has a prouder Revolutionary
record than South Carolina, and not a
county iu the State which has a richer
storehouse of historic recollections
than Abbeville, and our people would
do well to act up to the spirit of the
Congressional resolution, and have a
rousing celebration ou the coming
"Fourth." Other counties in the
State are moving in the matter and
Ninety-Six itself is to have a celebra
tion, but let other sections too have a
place iu the picture; let us have a
rousing meeting at Abbeville where
we may catch some enthusiasm and
public spirit in contemplating the he
roism and self-sacrifice of the fathers
of the Revolution.
Republican View.
The Chicago Tribune, the leading
Republican paper of the North-West,
claims sixteen States including Penn
sylvania and Ohio, with their 160 elec
toral votes, and conceding twenty
States including Connecticut and Cal
ifornia with their 150 voteB to the Dem
ocrats; and puts down Indiana, New
Jersey and New York with 59 votes
as doubtful. This estimate would
? "D 5/?o r? u OJ* vnfaa atirf
leave iuo it^uuiivuuo ? * u^, ?,1U
the Democrats 85 votes to be got from
the doubtful States. New York with
its 35 votes would give the victory to
the Democrats, and Tilden perhaps is
the only man who can carry the
State for his party. The Tribune op
poses the nomination of Blaine and
calls for a candidate with an unblem
ished record. It says:
"The Democratic party, evidently,
has determined to ignore the rag baby,
and the canvass is to be made upon
the issue of reform in the administra
tion of the government. The candi
date will be Tilden, or a candidate
uamed by him, as Bayard orThurman
?men (having unassailable personal
reputations, and men whose election
will give assurance that dishouesty
and speculation will have no recogni
tion in the executive branch of the
rmironimflnt. With such an oDDonen t.
needing no vindication, can tile Re^
publican party afford to run a candi
date whose personal and official recti
tude will require a defense at every
cross-roads in the land ?
Major T. B. Ferguson, Representa
tive in the last Legislature from
Greenville, in a card in the Qrecnvillc
Newa} declines to be a candidate for
either the House or Senate at the next
election.
Greneker, of the Newberry Herald,
is luxuriating on fresh buttermilk, '
rye bread' and ice cream. Chickens
are very scarce, however, which does
not meet with his approbation.
The oat crops have been a success
this season. Fine and heavy yield *
nicely housed, is the general report
from each farmer.?Marion Star.

A statement of the case of the Hon.
Jacob Thompson, against whom suit
has been instituted for the recovery of
$1,000,000 Indian t-ust funds stolen
while he was Secretary of the Interior,
and $1,000,000 gold received by him
from the Confederate States, which
this Government claimed, shows that a
Congressional investigation of the
case in regard to the Indiau frauds re
sulted in the acquittal of Secretarv
Thompson from any complicity in the
matter whatever. As to the $1,000,000
gold of the Confederacy, Mr. Thomp
son says he was, as ageut, instructed
by the Confederate Government to
turn the unexpended balance of the
$1,000,000, placed In his hands, over to
the Confederate agents abroad. This
he did, and afterwards there was a fi
nal adjustment of his account and a
full and final receipt of all moneys
was given to him, which receipt he?
has now in his possesson. The suits
for the two amonnts, including inter
oat will nrrwrprrufft 000 000.

Relief eok the uu.xa lit AW X
lum.? The New York correspond
ent of the Charleston Journal of Com
merce says Dr. Ensor baa succeeded in
making arrangements with certain
large dealers in Philadelphia, for the
necessary provisions to supply the
Lunatic Asylum uutil January, 1877.
He was obliged to give his individual
notes, with the endorsement of Phila
delphia friends?putting up his orders
on the State Treasurer as collateral se
curity. The imminent danger of re
turning these unfortunates to the
counties from whence they came, is,
thus avoided.

years old, and was bright and interest

r Governor Chamberlain aod the Hai
roon Murder.
Before leaving the State to atten
the Cincinuati Convention, Goveruc
Chamberlain issued two proolamatioi
e in relation to the execution of tt
Harmon murderers by the citizens <
Edgefield. In the secoud he offeirs
reward of $200 each for the lyncher
c This will amount to $20r000 for tl
4 100 persons who did the shooting, <
j. $00,000 for the 300 persons said to na^
0 been present, and who took part i
4 and sanctioned the proceedings,
o It is not to be expected that Govei
t nor Chamberlain could in anywta
3 (even by silence,) sanction the lynci
ing, as it is to be deprecated bv ever
0 law-joving citizen ; Due wnne we r<
1 gret the occurrence, and denounce tli
? principle of the lynch law, as heartil
.> as he does, we contend that the prove
J1 cation was great, and that the peopl
i> bad been outraged aud the executio
of the law trifled with, sufficient (
. arouse them to a sentiment of sel
protection. That the guiltof the mui
? derers executed was clearly establishe
. has not been questioned, and it a{
j pears that the Governor's denunciator
3 proclamation was sufficient, withoi
, golu? into the buncombe clap-trap (
j offering such a reward for men wh
. have not sought concealment, while i
, the same time the lunatics of the Stat
" are said to be in a starving oondltioi
because the State has no money to fui
[ nish supplies to the asylum. This i
only one of the results of bad goverr
ment, and the only remedy to remov
the cause by putting men of characU
_ and principle in office, instead of a:
' piring politicians aud money-huntin
l wretches who have everything to gai
