On tho morning on which our story commences, the editor was silting moodily in his sanctum. Thc devil was endeavor ing to make (he (ire burn, just i>8 a well introduced devil should. Hut tho editor was meditating. He was thinking of the past, of tho pit sent, of tho luiure. He had just finished making out a lung list of bills, and ho was thinking sweetly of all those blessed SubsetibCrO who had paid hun in HQ VS DOO, and against wliotn ho had no bibs And ho was thinking mournfully^ regretfully, almost bitterly of those who hadn't yet M] tia red up. Ami yet ho Wim thinking hopefully of tho litter ol>M, for lt was on them that ho dopendod for his future i.?Huna Hu knew there were. Int* und Ult? ul good fellows u mon gs t them who would not lest him Marve to don!li while they could raino two dollars. Tho editor had ?pent all hi? nd va nco subscriptions | keeping up his rents, in buying his dried ? apples, Iiis tliruips and his herrings, in pay ing (ur tho material and other cost of run ning his puper und ir. feeding, clothing the devil. On (his morning, UK thc editor sut io his sunotuui, he wu* completely bank rupted That is, bc was not completely bankrupted-he lind fifteen cents left, lint nil h's turnips were gone, mid ho only hud four pounds of dried apples nod niuo herrings remaining io his birder. Tho editor took his pencil and mude a calcula tion. These four pounds of npples, he oaleulatcd, when bul ed would amount to just four bushel". Allowing himself to cut a peck, these four bushel? would last him just thirty-two days. But as it took him ii helling a day tho niue herrings would only last Him niuo days This wu? a gloomy outlook. Thu editor glanced at hi>? foot and saw tint his tues were begin ning to show, and as ho thought nf tho cold weather, remembered that ho ought tu have a new pail of shoes, another pair of stockings und un ulsier oveiooat. As the i ditor thought upon tiloso things, bis mind grew d Bpemto. Ho jumped up from his sent, struck a theatrical attitude, shut uno eye and shook his fist ut tho devil This feared ibo devil almost to death, for ho thought tho editor had discovered another t y pours ph i on I error in thc last issue. But when ho found tho editor was only about to make u speech, he blood .iud listened, just ns a Well conducted devil should. Said the editor, ''Have I not worked faithfully during ibo past y*?ar to collect all thc news of thu country, and to cou? dense into brief form tho principal news of tho couutry fur thc benefit, of our readers?" Tho devil said, "To tho best of my knowledge and belief, you have." '.And lin illy." said tho editor, ''have I not dui inc tins cold and sleety weather stood upon tho street corner witti my penen inonu hand ami nulo t>ool( in thc other aud have 1 nm watched tho hoi Ul if ul, beaUtilul damsels tho airy, dainty damsels, tho rollicking, jovial damsels, :.s tiley jtuoiiiy ti ipi co over tho icy pavements.

Tho devil wis so much impressed with this part of tho Kpeeoh that Ive called tho journey men anti got tho editor to say it over again. Tho editor said it over h ga i II wont foi wold, and tho devil and the journeymen said it wa? the finest piece of eloquence they bad ever listened lb They furth uti'P S .id that, they would swear before ? taunt and jury thal it was every w.-rd true Titi.? .-i i veil tn calm down the editor very em siller bly.

Thc turned down lamp o is' a t wilight shadow over the room and tho well lilli d fire oust out II Comforting glow of heat. TilCBO two conditions, with tho fact tho editor had eaton a hearty supper, undo him feel a little drowsy. Soon ho lapsed into that state \vIii li may Lo descibod a? not asleep ..nd imt awake-a kind of half-ami- half condition, The oioek struck ten and eleven, and still the editor sat in tho darkened room ?ml enjoyed ibo com fort i nit glow of the fire. Tho clock struck twelve-and aa the . a?t oh line died away lhere nano it myste rious chango over tho editor's surroundings, His lamp went out ami Ito wis left in total darkness His stove expanded anti spread until it boo une a mighty furmicu of glow ing fire. The flames roared and blazed und flashed until tho editor trembled in dread. Suddenly tbcro sprang from thc Uro n mysterton* personage, lt was tho devil. Not tho editor's own dovil-not tho individual who did all tho dirty work in tho (ifli-o, mi'] who hud to bear all tho | blnuio fir bad spelling and other mistakes that ooourrcd in tho paper-no, no, not this devil, but tho roal, simon puro, bona i Jule devil-the same that hold intercourses j with J)r Faust some throe hundred years ago. [Tho printer's devil, it will bo un deistood, is only un imitator of tho real devil.] Tho editor glanced ut his cloven foot ?nd immediately recognized him. "What intiy it pleuac you to want?'' asked tho editor. "You aro poor," said tho devil. "I nm," s lid tho editor. "You hnvo subscribers who won't pay up," said tho devil "I have/'said tho editor. "Some owe you S2, some owo you 5-1 and SOIIIO owo you S(>," sahl tho devil. "You stato tho oaso correctly," said thc ciiti.r. "You would like to havo all theso sub scriptions," seid tho devil. "I would," said the editor. "My fiiend," said tho dovil, "I will maka you ?'S rich as Jim (Jordon Bennett on ono condition "And what is tho cotnlition?" asked tho editor. "Simply that you will servo me hero ond hereafter/' said the devil, ? Can't do it,'* said tho editor. Thc devil frowned at him for throwing ?way such ti good chance, but came forward with unother proposition, "Give mo the influence of your paper during your lifetime," said tho devil, "and I will guarantee you ten thousand subscribers who shall pay you up promptly thu first Saturday in every January " Tho editor revolved the proposition in his mind. Ile wondered whether the devil might d>.Mre lo go to Congress, or to tho Slate Legislature or whether ho might de sire io run for Clerk of tho county, or Sheiii? For none of these positions ho concluded that he would not bc Willing lo support him. Ho thcrcluro respectfully di ot ned thu OltW. "Weil," HU? 11 thc devil, "I seo yon do hot know whon you uro well olT. Hut I will m ike you a third und final proposi? tiuu " "On ahead with your proposition/' said the editor "I will collect nil these subscription hills on this condition/' said thc devil. "You ?nc to put them in a bag, shako them thor oughly and drui7 out one nt il limo, livery : lem li hiil is to bo minc and t he other nine j I will collect lov you. You transfer ono tenth of your bills lo mo-I collect ?he other ninctetiths tor you. Do you under ! stand?" a?ked tiie devi. j "I do/' said tho editor. I ' Du you uucvpt tho proposition?" asked I the devil. The editor refloated. "What do you ! propos.' lo do with youv tenth of thu sub ! scribers?" he asked. j "Ali, what," replied thc devil, "that's I tho question. Dut that is none of your business.'' "I can't accept," said the editor. "You'ro fool," said I ho devil, with which he disappeared in thc furnace. Thc furnace faded away. Tho editor ? rubbed his eyes mid there was his own stove, glowii'g with n white lieut. The j chick struck ono Ho turned thc heat 1 off his stove, relit his lump und went to I bed.

G. Muy 8. Messrs. Editora Tho trials now going on in regard to election frauds is attracting quito as much attention elsewhere os it docs at home, und well it muy. lt is tho sumo j old story, told in u thousand ways, times ! and piucos in other luuds than our own by other people and iu muny ways. It is this, that thc while man is bom to ruh. Ho will do it by just und honest means if ho can, ho will do it by force, by violcnco or fraud if he must. Look nt India, with its hundreds of militions, held in absoluto dc? 1 pendenco and governed by tho presctico of un hundred thousand white men; in Africa, j wherever he has put his foot, the weight of I his hand is likewise felt. Ho governs, whether for good or bad, for weal or woe. I ain assuming thia? that tho white vote by an honest count or vote is in a minority iu ?outh Carolina; but it would not matter if tho majority against it were ten times os j great us it ?3 to day; tho white nun would still rule, wheu free to cxeroiso his owu | skill and rcsomces, uud ho would do this ? without resorting to violenoo aud under tho color nod shadow of tho law. At tho present time there io being put into force un election law which was enacted solely to defeat tho other party. No other excuso can be offered for it, and perhaps it needs no other excuse. It would 'lave been juster und fairer if thc occasion warranted it. It would have been worse and moro outrage ous if necessity demanded it. It was enacted for a purpose, without much regard to tho privileges conferred or tho : wrongs inflicted. Hut I would not govern South Carolina j in this way. Tho cuds moy justify the ! means. I wiP not argue that, lt may not ? hurt us ot home, but it injures us abroad. ! Our good name ia worth something aud thc ' constant howl about election frauds leads the world to think that wo do little else than bulldoze negroes or stuff ballot boxes I nm a ll publican outright, .downright In common with thc most of thc them I nm opposed to universal suffrage, that is, Democracy; hut I mn ?tl favor or impartial suffrage. There must bea lino muiewhero whore suffrage ahull bein; certainly another where it sh ll end. It must havo souio limit Within these limits it should bo un Ob8truotcd iu its exercise. No vulgar pre judice, such ns color, should limit or ohm I struct it. It is so difficult with us to tell just whore thc negro begins und tho white man ends. I nm opposed to iPxalioQ wi'.houi repre sentation. Our forefathers wein and had a fight about it, and they established thc principle that the right to levy a lax con ferred thc privilege of repr?sentai ion upon thc thing or people that, were taxed. 1 be lievo it does and I believe it ought to bo exercised, and I would exercise it iu au honest, just mid impartial way. 1 would govern South Carolina on tho same principle on which ull great corpora tions ure governed. 1 would give to each tn?n, white or black, precisely that power in the government of thc Stale that eaoh individual stockholder in a great corpora tion possesses, for what else is tim Stato of South Carolina but a great corporation, Willi ? taxable capital of Say 8100,000,000. How i.? a corporation governed? Hy mo stock or capital being divided out among a large number of people in various amounts, from a single share to many thousands, and in the management of that corporation eaeh individual exoroises precisely the power that his interest in or ownership of snob, shares entitle him to. If ho has ono share hu oasts one vote. If he has ten shares ht casts ten votes, and so on, according to tho number of shares ho holds. Ho hun u volo for every sh ire ho owns. Nothing could bo fairer. It is exactly right und proper. Nobody nenies him this right. Everybody will admit that this is right and tho law guarantees it to him. Weil, thc State of South Carolina is a corporation. Tho Constitution is ita char ter. It has a certain amount of capital, owned io v nions amounts by a large num ber of people, us appear tecorded upon thc tax nooks, lt has luws for its management and officers tor their eforccmeot and they are elected hy the stockholders; bu?, in a very different w.?y. A coordir g to thc Dem? oeratio plan every man, whether he owns one share or a hundred, casts tho sumo mini ber of votes and the consequence is that thc corporation of thc State ol South Caro lina has been governed alkimos by the voice of less than u tenth of its stockholders, This was nil wrong, os we learned to oui sorrow. What would booorno of a railroad if ouch holder of a singlo share east us many votes in its management us those who hold hundreds? It would bo sudden and merited bankruptcy Nobody would in vest in such property. How much mon indifferent thc owner of a sinulesliaro woulu bo than the one that owned a hundred. Il is those who have something ut stako wt would look for honest, mid o ireful manage., ment. Who is most interested in tho hon est, administration of tho laws in South Carolina, ho who docs not pay a tox upon a dollar or ho who pays it upon thou sands? Now tho just and proper way to govert South Carolina or uny oilier State is tc govern it piecisely us oliy other corporation is governed, (live to each individual jusl ua many votes us ho holds shares of stock os in uny other corporation. I would givi to overy limn over twenty one years of agi ono volo. Assuming that ho held ont share for ouch thousund dollars on which h< p lid a tax, I would givo him an addi tiona voto If ho paid tax upon upon five thou sand I would givo him (ivo votes; if upor ton thousand I would give him ten votes and eo 0Q. 1 olaiin that tho maa who pays tax on ten thousaud dollars has ten times tho interest io tho prompt and honest ad ministration of tho laws as lie who pays no tax at all. l?e oould bo relied on to op* po30 any Bohomc of plunder or extortion; reckless taxa'i on or extravagant expendi tures. A franol>?no like thia would add about 100,000 votes to tho . prcsont poll list. It would ensure a legislature and State ond county oflloers elected io tho. in terest of good government, guaranteed to proteot and foster tho material interests of tho Stale. Tho cry about election frauds and ballot box stuffing would no longer bo heard. Every interest would be represented and in ?is just proportion. If I havo not alroady wearied your Toad ers I would liku in a future article to elabo rate this plan to onsuro a just, safe and honest govornmont. G. J. GttEENE. Follows Who Ought to bo Kilted.
