of.tbe Ad?>?tiistra:ion aa regards the rtfstora

tho Union. Of thia policy the. great feature
ja the explicit and determined quietus put
upon certain extreme' views as to the righi
of sufFrage* - Ky the cqristitntion and Jaws of
?the State" cf-Mississippi,. prior to the. ordi
nance of s?cession, no negro was allowed to
vote-within thedimim of that Stute, and of
course tho election of these Delegates, as
caifed for by pr?damation,, must remain in
the hands cf the whites. As, furthermore,
this Cpp-yerition of Delegates, so chosen, is to
prcseribMh* future q.mlifications of voters,
it ia'.hardly Ikely the negro will gain the.clec
t?te?ranc?tise ia Mississippi ; nor, stace the pelt

So far as tir?3 goes, we congratulate thc
country on the conservative rjpirit displayed

shown a determination to abide by the Con

in defiance nf, tbe presHBre brought to bear

In view of tho (.boulions resting on them, I]
people cf Sooth CuroHna must learn to feel AI
aot, for.a resloriition of thc thuttert.d mecharas
of their civil Government. If they ljve Sou
Carolina, they must place themselves in an all

ly recognize her Imo position as n member of tl
great Federal systtm, which is bound to csorci

We have been lcd to these remarRs by tbinkir

Leithe Evil Doer Expect.Evil.
A nobie Florentius, having devoted him
seif in early lile?to trade, in the cou^e of

When advanced in years he took his sou into

whole mercantile concern into Ms hinds: md

Iiis sou, called Vincent!, who was of an ex
tremely avaricious disposition, fiucii.:;. his
father continued lo linger much beyond the
period his ebvetom aud ungratel?l heart
would have assigned him, took measures, un
der pretence of obtaining fur him better med
ical advice than he could at home provide,
to have him conveyed Lo the city hospital.
Yet his affairs were then iu ?flourishing --ttti?
and everything that he possessed he ci? d to
this unhappy parent, whose age aa ? infirm!?*
ties, who*e tears and entreaties, he tilik-*
disregarded. This unnitfuraf son could not,
however, contrive to conduct tie matter so
secretlya^ to elude the jDk-crv*ion and re
J proac??sof all classes or people in the city,
i ile al first tried to impose, both upon 'ts
friends and the public, bj the fais* repn'Mm
tations which he seton lboijbutlibding Um.se
could not avail him, he resolved, in order tho
better to disarm the popular voice against
him, to send Uh own children-with the little ?
presents to their grandfather.
"On ono occasion he gave to his eldest, boy,
about six years of age, twofine cambric shirts,
desiring bim, early the next morning, to take
them carefully to his poor-grandfather .iii the
hospital. The little-boyr with- au expression
of great respect and tenderness in his coun
tenance, promised that he would do so; and
on his return tue coxi day.his father, calling
him to bim, inquired.wLtstber he had deliv
ered them saie.into. the hands of his grand
father. I only gave him one, father,'' repli- -
ed the little boy. "What!^ exclaimed Vm
eeuii, with an angry voice, " did 1 not tell you '
both were for your grandfather ?'' "Yes,"
returned the little fdJow, with a steady and .
undaunted'.wok, " bul. I thought that I would
keep one of them for you, father, against the
time when I shall have to send you, father, I
hope, to the.hospitalrV" How,1' exclaimed
Vinceirti, " would you ever have the cruelty
to send me the?e, my boy ?" " Why not. ?"
retorted the lad. * Let him that d *#. evii expect
evil in return. For you kuow you made your
own father go there, (dd and ailing' as Lc is,
and he never did you any harm tn I1?3 iii?:-;
and do you thiak-I shall-not send you, when
i ara able? Indeed, lather, I am resolved
that f will; for, as I have sajd before, let him
that does evil expect evil in return."
