I A Revolting Recital, t The following particulars of a most shocking case of neglect and inhumanity vhich has ever dia I graced the American people, are a taken from the columns of the r New York Herald: A year or so since, a young girl, r giving her name as Mary Butler, I came to Unionville. a village on 3 the Midland Railroad, about twelve ) miles from Middletown, N. Y., i looking for a situation as a domes f tic. She said she was alone in the world, and getting no employment, 3 she formed an acquaintance with f a man named Seeley, a laborer, - and lived with him as his wife, al D though it is not known that they were ever married. Notwith , standing great cruelty on the part a of the man toward the girl, she clung to him with that singular , affection characteristic of women s of her class. A few weeks ago a F lady living at Gardinerville, near l, Unionville, was attacked with F small-pox, and no one being found I, to take care of her, liberal offers I- were made by her friends for some F person to act in the capacity of a nurse. i Against the earnest wish and I protest of the girl above mention e ed, Seeley compelled her to risk 1, her life at the bedside of the small a pox victim, for the sake of getting d possession of the money offered. s The girl attended the lady through d out her illness, and then returned o to Unionville, engaging as a do ?- mestic in the family of Mr. Asa e Smith. e A short time thereafter symp toms of small-pox appeared on d Miss Butler, and she was sent to e Seeley's house. He refused to i- have her there, and she was than y taken to a lonely, ruined house on d the "drained lands" in the woods, s- and left. The house had no floor; d the windows were out, and not a o door to shut out rain or shine. The authorities sought for some e one to attend to the poor creature - in her horribie sickness, but no L5 one could be found except Seeley, C- who was willing to accept the po e- sition, and he only did so in con i- sideration of $20 paid him by the n town. Receiving his money, he s- went to the house, and no one d heard or saw anything of him again until Friday last, when he d came to the village and said the 11 girl was dead. His appearance d in the town just from the house of o pestilence and death created gene d ral consternation, and he was giv en a new suit of clothes and disin e fectants, and told to depart. He e left, and his whereabouts are un t8 known. The body of the unfortu e nate girl laid in the house, at the mercy of cats, dogs and rats, which had free ingress to the ruin, until last night, when persons were Sfound with humanity and courage Ssufficient to proceed to the house R- and give the body burial in the IRwilderness. This was accomplish eed with great difficulf,y, for- ob bvious reasons. The body had abeen mutilated by some ani h- mals, and several cats were fright. 'ened off at the approach of the r- burying party, but lurked around and followed the remains to the spot where they were buried. he This is one of the most shock es ing cases ever known here, and it Id, has excited general comment and ne execration. Nothing positive is re known about the unfortunate Ma aif ry Butler's history. She was s bright and intelligent and about o- twenty years of age. iThe .Dispatch also says: tGreat apprehension exists that c- the pestilence will be spread by mthe dogs and cats throughout the he neighborhood, and the mind of of the community is far from being ill- easy.. eir If that "community" is not deci iat mated by the small-pox,it will not ebe because they do not deserve it p.Such inhumanity and cruelty w' me have seldom heard of. aid .- -. . - he Testerday we invested thirty cents in thN S"yellow-beatled" Cooters, and to-day we fel The Two Great Parties. There are but two parties in the United States, and there never can be but two, really founded on prin ciple-the one the Federal party the other the Democratic party. The Federal party has never ceased to exist, and will never cease to exist, though it often takes new names. It is a party, here, as in France, and as all over Europe and Asia, that believes in consolidation and centralization, with all their attendant conse quences. The Constitution of the United States it deems to be as supreme and absolute as Cmsar ianism or Despotism Is, over Eu rope, Asia, and Africa. The rights of individuals are nothing in its estimation, (witness its suspen sion of the habeas corpus in times of peace,) and towns, counties, States have not any rights that the Federal Government is bound to respect. The real, live, mod ern, Grant Federalist believes that Uncle Sam can lay sewers, if he please, in Duluth, or run streetcars in our Hub of the Universe, if he chooses ! The Democratic party, also, al ways exists and always will ex ist, indestructible, i m m o r t a1, It may be crushed out; it often is-but it is indestructible as life, or as nature ; for it exists in the very soul of nature and man. It is a party not without errors of courso at times, but in the main it struggles for the good of the people, the whole people, and is ever in opposition to all hereditary and special privileges. Monopoly and Democracy are ever in antagonism. Monarchy and aristocracy are hereditary enemies of Democracy. It ever has been so, from the very birth of man, and ever will be. Now, we have before us two re presentative men of these antag onist principles, one of whom is to be President of the United States. Grant, as a soldier, fond of fight, fonder of fun and frolic, trained by his very West Point education to be the instrument of centraliza-, tion, and consolidation, and mon opoly, and monarchism-that is, the government of one man. And Greeley, whose errors, if any, have been too much Democracy, and whose great faults in life, have been hurring the world on too fast to Democracy, before that world was really prepared for it. Hence his anti-Rlavery propagan dism, before it was time, when the world was abolishing slavery, as fast as it could be, without civil war. Hence his other aspirations for liberty and equality, a little faster than the world is ready for. them. But hence, too, his sound notions of man's rights, and gene ral rights of man, and of the insti tutions created by men to co-ope rate with, as well as to counter poise the dangerous Federal pro clivities of the Federal Govern ment. Hence, all along, his natu ral opposition to Grant's mon archism, his military rights, and all the corruptions flowiug there from, and his prayers for peace and amnesty to the South, in lieu of punisment, which monarchism demanded. Hence his natural quarrel with, aad separation from tbe Monarch, whose government has degraded and corrupted the whhble South, and converted whole States into bankrupt corporations of the Federal Washington Gov ernment, and has overrun them by miserable carpet-baggers, using ignorant negroes, as horses, or asses, only to boot and spur and to ride themselves into wealth and office on their backs. [New York Ex~press. A SENsIBLE WoMAs.-The Val lejo Rece'der relates the following, which we commend to the consid eration of women who are trying to unsex themselves: A man who thought he was doing a lady a good turn, yesterday went to her house and asked her if she was aware she was entitled to vote. "Vote ! Do you think I would go to the polls and meddle in the filthy pool or politics. Catch me!" That woman is a jewel of rare worth to the household ; and if she has been "crowned with a wo man's joy," you will find her charge tidy and clean and well brought up. She makes her home pleasant and attractive, instead of gadding about trying to raise a beard and be a man. She is one of the mothers which Napoleon said France most needed, and which will make a nation great. Such a woman is too sensible to run after such huinbugs as "wo. man's rights," "free love," and their concomitant evils. A New Fairfield man who failed to gel a thirty cent pine apple for a quarter of a dollar, wanted to know "whether we are breathing the pure air of freedom or beinj strangled with the fetid breath of ahellisi despotism?" The storekeeper said thos< wire the only pine apples he had-Dan burg News.. a An editor commenting upon the import i anee of smanl things, says he does not eve & alight a straw. fzt hasa sherty cobbler ' Chief Justice Moses and his Address Before the Naval Academy. We have received a copy of the address of Chief Justice Franklin J. Moses, of South Carolina, a member of the Board of Visitors, delivered June 1st, 1872, at the appointment of the Board, to the Midshipmen of the United States Naval Academy, at Annapolis, Maryland, and published at the re quest of the Board and the grad uating class. The address reflects great credit upon the author, While it com mends proficiency in study, iT also illustrates that "no one can be a good commander if he cannot be made a gentleman." While it il lustrates obedience to authority as essential in overy department of life, it also establishes that com mand need not be exercisedl with austerity, either in manner or in words. Chief Justice Moses char acterizes religious love and reve rence, honor and truth, as essen tial for a proper progress and ele. vation in life. We give place to his closing remarks: Young Gentlemen of the Gradua tina Class:-The term of your scholastic instruction has termi nated, and you will be detained but for a moment to hear a few words from parting friends, who not only feel an interest in you as young gentlemen about to embark on the trials and vicissitudes of life, but who also remember that you soon will be the representa tives of a Government, in part charged with the custody of its flag, the emblem of a great, glo rious a n d improving country, whose advance in the arts and sciences has not been surpassed by any portion of the world, whose prowess in peace has developed new and growing resources, and which has proved, through the dread arbitrament of war, its abili ty to maintain its honor and its fame. You will err, if you suppose that your diploma ends your education. Experience wil.l very soon assure you that you have but begun the training which is to prepare you for the trials and troubles which will impede your path through life. Man never attains perfec tion in anything, and while he lives must learn. You are now to put to, practical use the lessons which you have received at this lovely spo,, where human hand and taste have beautified the nat ural advantages and rendered it one of the most attractive locali ties in our country. You have high evidence of the public inter est in you, in the fact that the able head of the Navy Department has left his pressing duties at the Capital to give you, at your part ing, words of counsel and commen dation. With the example of your Superintendent, whose gallant con duct and elevated character have made his name familiar as a house hold word to the.people of our Union-with that, too, of the able officers detailed for your instruc tion-with the prestige of the learned Professors whose teach ings you have enjoyed, and in inspired by the presence among you of the eminent representatives of the Army and Navy on the Board, agr whose honored organ I now address yo'u, there must be "no such word as fail." If you represented different States while here, remember that you are now the defenders of the flag of a common country-a flag with not one single star struck~ from the bright galay-the em blem of our UTnion now and for ever, "one and indissoluble." Be firm in your convictions of duty knowing the right, never pursue the wrong. "To thine own sell be true And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou cans't not then be false to any man.' Young gentlemen, farewell-the hopes and prayers of fond parents sisters and brothers go with yon Beauty's bright eye tells in silene' the farewell which in vain she es says to speak.

THE BALTIoE C onoN.-Says the Baltimore Gazette: The selection of Ford's Opera Hous, as the place of meeting of the next Demo cratic National Gonvention is an exceed ingly proper and judicious one. Th building is one of the finest of the kini in the country, and when all the conten plated arrangements for the convenienc of the delegates are completed, it will b found to be in every respect suitable fo tbe grand conclave of the National DemCn cracy. It is believed that ample accom< dation will be furnished for at least si thousand people; and besides this, ever facility will be afforded ini the way < committee and reception rooms. It: intended to decorate the building in a appropriate manner, and we are assure that nothing will be left undone to mali the building attractive as well as comfo: table. It may not be genlerally known, says.tl Charlotte, N. C., Democrat,. that a sist (Hannah) of the great D)aniel Boone. tl - pioneer of Kentucky, is living in Caldwi a County, N. C. She has remarkable god Shealth, is now eighty-five years old, ad bi fair to rach a hundred. The Avenger of Blood, About twelve o'clock on Sunday, says the Norfolk Virginian, of 26th ult., there entered this town from an easterly direction, a male ( and a female rider. They rode t leisurely upon the public square, e exciting no particular curiosity in the minds of those who saw them. After making some small purcha ses at a confectionary in this place, j and- inquiring the nearest and c be t route to Horse cave, the t1 riders disappeared from the town, C taking the Glasgow road. Subse- h quently these persons proved to Y a be Galen E. Taylor, of Casey coun ty, and the wife of George Lannum, t of the same county, all neighbors. a They were fugitives from that f< county in a matrimonial sense, C Taylor having unlawfully possess- P ed himself of Lannum's wife, and the two endeavoring to escape together. A short time after they a had ridden from town, perhaps 0 half an hour,- a single horseman rode in their wake, passing hur riedly through town, taking the C direction of the above mentioned 6 parties. This wasGeorge Lannum, the husband of the woman, who a t couple of hours later, was brought t into town a prisoner, he having I overtaken and killed Taylor. The t tragedy occurred at the residence P of Mr. Joseph Dohoney, a worthy citizen of this county, residing P two miles out on the Grasgow f road. Taylor and the woman, a when the husband appeared upon o the scene, were seated at Mr. r Dohoney's fireside, resting and E awaiting bodily refreshments, U which the family were preparing. The rider's horses had been stabled and the saddles left at the front t of the house, and it was by these c that Lannum knew that he had al come upon the escaped. Dismoun- " ting, he advanced toward the house, and in passing up the yard was observed by Taylor through a the window, who had risen to his feet and was standing upright when Lannum entered. His en- r trance was the instant signal of hostilities, and, without an inter- i change of words, each drew a revolver and the deadly lire begaa. b Two of Lannum's shots took effect 3 in Taylor's breast, in the region b of the heart, producing death iu less than thirty minutes. Lannum escaped with two bullets through the lappels of his coat and vest, and a slight wound on the back of his left hand. Lannum surren- i dered and was brought to jail, the wife accompanying. Taylor leaves a wife and seven children. C MEN AT A DIscoUNT.-A wo man's church has been organized in this city, with the rather fanci ful title of the Church of the Di vine Maternity. No men are ad mitted to membership, because (as the pastor explains through the daily papers), "it is the pur pose of the society to discuss im portant question concerning the right generation of humanity, questions that lie at the founda tions of the very worst sins and vices of' society, questions that con cern women more deeply than men, inasmuch as women have al ways borne and must bear the Iheaviest responsibility in the gene Iration of humanity." A Mrs. Wil lard, already somewhat famous as a champion of women's rights, and as a vigorous adversary of so. cial evils, is the pastor of the new sect. "Too MUcH EE."-The five ladies with the Japanese Embassy, at the suggestion of their American hostess, recently consented to be laced up and tied down, ruffled, panniered, flounced, bowed and trailed in the "tyle." They were then powdered up from an orange peel hue to a delicate lemou, and pronounced perfect, as far as dress Igoes. Half an hour later, however, their dismayed civilizers found them, smiling and happy, in their half-pe t t ic oa t, half-pantaloons dress. "Too, machee," said the gentle Japanese. AiSTYs.-The following circular ha9 been issued from the Pension Office. The amnesty act, approved May 22 1872, provides as follows: "That all political disabilities imposed by the third section of the fourteenth ar ticle of the amendments of the Constitu tien of the United States are herely re moved from all persons whomsoever, except Senators and Representatives of Sthe Thirty-Sixth and Thirty-Seventh Core gresses and officers in the judicial, mnili tary, and naval service of the United BStates. eThe only disability imposed by said rthird section of th fourteenth article of - amendments to the Constitution was that of exclusion from holding office under the 'United States or any of the States there Vof. The amnesty act restores the right to Shold office as above stated to those not s excepted, hut does not in any other res 2 pect relieve those who have been disloyal dfrom any of the legal penialities, restrie e tions , or requirements consequent upon * their disloyalty or the presumptions thereof; nor have any other effect what ever.

A SUDDEn DEATH UNDER PFcUXAR. 'IRcUMSTANcEs.-The following is clipped -om a private letter from Frederick Coun F, Virginia: "We had quite a sudden death here at be factory yesterday. You know where e old meeting house is at the factory. Vhile the Sunday School was assembled ere old Mr. Rice Levi stepped in accom anied by some other gentlemen, and iade an address, in which he used rather nproper language arguing on some assages of the scripture. Mr. Hensel probably, the Superintendent of the unday School,) maintained the.veraci.y f the Bible, which the former entirely tjected, saying he did not believe in the ible zt all; that it was a book brought gether by the prophets, and without peaking another word, took his hat and :ft the church. Trying to hitch his orse, he dropped down, and the horse ampled upon him. They picked him up irried him back into the church, where Ltempts at restoration were made with ut success, then they took him to Mr. olbert's house, where, in the course of a hour, he expired. He ws speechless -o the moment he left the church till is death." SwnuRsE TnR PoET.-A London cor espondent of the N. Y. World, after ijing a pea and ink portrait of the poet at home," says: "Mr. Swinburne is a gentleman by irth and edueation; he is also a gentle aan. in manner. Often has that-particn r quality of manner been described; as ften has it been found impossible to set own the charm of it in words. It shows tself, however, in that humility which y its contrast with the real worth and ignity of the person assuming it, pro luced a pleasant surprise. With this umble, and exquisite courtesy he receiv d me. Instead of the -scowl of genius, met with the smile of the polished man >f the world, whose first care is to put is guest at ease with himself. I need not mlarge upon the real favor thus conferred. Wlien you are in another man's honse our are largely at his mercy, and by browing a chill into his manner at the tting moment he can almost make you elieve that you are tampering with the ights of property by taking a seat on mne of his chairs." PROFESSOR THEOPHIUXs N. RoBETS. 'his gentleman is a graduate of the South Carolina Medical College, and took his degrees in this institution in 1860. He bad been, previous to this, a student un der Dr. Middleton Michel, of our city, and, from an interview with the Doctor, we learn that his former student is pre eminently fitted for the position recently assigned him in the Chair ot Chemistry in the University of South Carolina at Columbia. Dr. Roberts was formerly a Surgeon in the United States Army, and at the time of his call to the Professrship was city Physician in the city of Colum. bia.-Charleston Courier. Dr. Roberts, it will be remembered by some of our readers, was Surgeon at this post under Major Brayton. WEEE Is IT ?-The editor of one of the daily papers in Charleston inquires the way to Due West. He wants to know where it is, and how he may find it. In this region it seems that one might as well inquire wh6re Charleston is, and how we could reach the city by the sea. Let him take the night train on the South Carolina Railroad for Colum-. bia, and keep it for 240 miles and he will be almost in sight of Due West, in about 18 hours. If he sees this notice, (but of course he will not, for the Charleston papers will not exchange with us) he is hereby invited to mas the effort to find us week after next, ad we promise to show him around our city, and then start him safely on his way back.-Associate Reformed Presby trin Tan SiABBA IN NEW YoBK.-Tbe Times says: Sunday, in this city, still maintains its bad preeminence as a day of drunken ness and of the crimes and ofiences that come from drunkenness. The list for yesterday is terribly long, and includes every variety of stand-up and knock down fight, shooting, stabbing, wife beating, and-street rowdyismn. Most: of these crimes are attributable to the looseness of the Excise law and the negli gent way in which it is enforced. The streets of New York on Sunday night are in a condition alarming to peaceful citizens and disgraceful to the authori ties. A stingy millionaire having died, his fam i1y wanted to have hris body petrinied, so it would keep for all time, whereupon one of his nephews remarked: "You'll only have to complete what nature has begun. His heart was petrified long ago."
