Margaret Gray was in some sort an upper servant in tho household of Judge Wallace. Thc judge lived in n hand nome bouse in the suburbs of the liiile | country village nf Thorndale. Margaret was lea ar orphan at an early axe, and the judge and his wife had taken her into their house to snvo her from being thrown on the charity of the town. They had done their part well for her. They had two children of their own - Alice ami Algernon, twins-and Mar garet had enjoyed advantages ot educa tion in common with the brother and sister. As she grew older, and began to real ize how much she owed the judge and his wife, she felt a desire to be able in sonic wav to make them a return for their kindness, and, ns she was a strong, active girl, she soon became very useful about tho domestic affair? of tho house hold. Mrs. Wallace was a feoblo woman, and. very willingly resigned sumo nf tho cares and burdens in Margaret, and in due courso of time the young girl came to bo trusted and depended upon, until, by tho time she was twenty, uno was really tho head of the establishment, al though Mrs. Wallace still did the honors in her quiet, ladylike way, and poured tho tea and coffee at the head of the table. Alico had married early, and gone to the far West with her husband ; Alger non was finishing his medical studies in a Gorman University, and only the judge and his wife und Margaret-ben do a man and a woman servant, who had been with them forbears-remained at homo. Sotno unfortunate speculation, largely indulged in when the judge was young, had encumbered tho old estate with a mortgage, and this it was tho judgo's ambition to discharge. He wanted to leave the placo totally free from debt to hin BOO Algernon. ? The strictest economy had been prac ticed for years in the household, with this und in view, and at last the judge held in his baud the money with which to liquidate tho claim, It was lal? on Saturday night when he brought it home, and said to bia wife, aa bo swung tho little black leather trunk containing it beforo her eyes : "Well, Annie, at last we are to be free from debt. There are eight thousand dollars in that trunk, and on Monday I shall pay Jones in fuli, and we shall burn the abominable mortgage together, yon and i, Antila, ii wiu oe ino hap piest day of my life." "But if anything should happen, Wil liam/' ?iaid Mrs. Wallace nervously. "Do put the money in some safe place. It has cost us dear enough to scrape it tosN-'.hor." Tho judge bent down and patted the little woman on the head. "I am going to nub ii in the little oak closet, and if by chance a burglar should outer the house, be would never dream of finding anything of value in that little stifled up closet at the head of tho garret stairs." And with a light heart the judge went off to deposit the treasure. . Margaret was sitting in the room darn ing the judgo's stockings when the con versation too Ir ' place, and of course beard where the aionoy was to be placed, though at tho time she gave little atten tion to it. Tho neat day John and Susan, the two servants, bad tv holiday to visit a martie! daughter of theirs, ?rho resided fifteen or twenty miles away, and as it waa in No . vcmber, and as the days were short, they would not retara natif Monday night. And, sometime after they set out th ore came au imperative message to the judge from his sister, saying that she was very ill and desired to see him without delay. Her home was in Shelby, eight or ten miles off, and, of course, he lost no time in obeying the summons. He took bis wife mik him, leaving Margaret alone in the house. "It is barely possible. Margaret, that wo may remain ail night. Ic looka very ' much Uko a storm, and in that case wo shall certainly stay. And if so, you bad better get Sallie Turner to stay with you for company." ?ai, i?ougn ?aargnret would bare liked Sallie's company well enough, she at once decided not to ask tor it. acillo'e brother would bo sure toc?me along, and the' less she saw of '.?;l!io Turner, the better she was pleased. Willie was an honest, industrious sort of fellow, and ho was Margaret's most devoted admirer; bat, with the'usual Inconsistency of her soi, sba utterly refused to ?sa what waa best for Her. The afternoon went sion ly aw&y. Margaret read a'Uttle, drummed a few tata* on tho old-fashioned piano, played with tho black and white kitten, and held the old cat curled up in her lap, like a sleepy caterpillar, ana at last lt was ?unset-limo to milk the cows and abut the bare doors for the night. It was evident enough that there was ? atone* brewing, for the north rad west .?'ere dark and xioomy with ominous tiftck cioudaL and Mia east winds sighed drearily in the pino woods baok of the hcu?e. And indeed, beforo Margaret had done up tine chores in the barn, the (Treat drops of frozen raia began to fall ; and by tbs time she hid eater, ber sap per and strained the milk, the storm had aet in lo good earnest. Sha closed and barred tho door-the windows were already fastened-drew tte ahutUrfiv and piled tb? Qreplaco full cf dry hickory. Tho kitten bia jone to i-?HT.n'WW m'Ai ?? -> ' r.-v ..? .jJ-MrafJ-T ,-'-?.??f sleep la a corner, and the old black cat sat OD tb? hearth, bUYiting her eyes ai tba cheerful blaze, Margaret read a attie, and dreamed a gn at deal; as girls of her age are prone to do fciheo left to tbeiaselves. Sin- made a very pretty picture, if onlv tL?re had been some on*, to seo ber. Her soft brown bair was unbound, and fell rip pling to ber waist; her fair round face waa tinted aa delicately ??ok 9? tb? In side of a sea-shell ; herbr&WM eyes were dreamy and full of langoor; and her'red Ups were swelt, and womanly enough for any true lover to (Ind hi? rarest happi ness in kissing. 8low?y. at length, the old coffin-shaped clock io ibo corner struck ten. Margaret stprted up. 8be bsd not thought it was so late. The evening had gone off much quicker than she expected it would. It was not so dreadful to stay alone, after all, ?he said to herself. She opened the shutter ano peered out into the night. It was dark as Erebus, and the wind and rain beat against the pane in a perfect torrent. The judge would not think of returning on ?neb a night. T'W>ll, Tommy," ?he said to the cat, "I guess you and I and kitty will go to bed. We must be up betimes in the morning, you know, since there i? none but oe to do the chores." i As she MpoV", she stooped to stroke Tommy ; but to her infinite surprire, she .aw that the animal's back and tail were erect-his eye? had changed io ? glossy green, and with panther-like tread, he was making hi. way toward the door which opened upon the cellar stairway. And while she gazed, Margaret saw with horror, that thc latch was slowly rising, the n?xl moment the doer swung open with an omir.ou* creak, and a man stepped into the room. Ho was a short, thick set fellow, with sandy hair and whisker*, a unie, ferocious-looking blue ye set far back in his head. "So-ho, my dear," said he, "you aro sole proprietor, it appears"" For a moment Margaret's heart stood still, but she was naturally brave, nnd she waa proud as well, and would not let this mun see that she feared him. "I have that honor," shs ?aid, coolly ; "who are you, and what do you want?" "I tru?t you will excuse me if I neglect to introduce myself," said tho man, with much courtesy. "As for business, I am quite happy to inform you about that. I want the eight thousand dollars thal the judge brought from Ridgcby last night, and I depend on you to point it out to me." Thc indignant blood rushed to Marga ret'* f?c?. ai shs answered him ??i?rp?y ; "I will die before I will rio a?? you ask !" "You shall have your choice !" Ile produced a pinto), which he cocked deliberately, and pointed it at her head. "Show me where the tin is, or I will blow your hraios out." Like lightning a varied train of thought pawed through the h. ad of the girl. In that one instant of time she thought of a score of plans to evade thc rascal, and, as soon a . entertained, dis carded them as imprac icsble. Them she was, aloe ? and helpless, a weak girl almost a milo from any other human habitation, and in such a storm it was hy no means like. ; that nny one would be muming by from whom abe could claim assistance. For i. moment she thought of risking everything to esc?pa by the outer door, and, trusting to the durkuess nnd her knowledge of tho way, to attempt to roach Mr. Turner's protection. But the man seemed to divino her thought, for ho stepped between her and the dcor. "No, my beauty, you can't play that game on mei" ho saiu, with a sardonic smile. "And now I'll give you ju?t three minutia to decide what you'll Jo. Il you show mu where the money is, I swear not to harm you ; if you refuse, I swear to kill you, and trust to luck for rinding it without your help." He took out his watch, and stood ie 5arding it and Margaret, alternately. LS she stood there, faint nud giddy with fear, a new dca penetrated ber brain, and she was just in that state of despera* tion which s'ops at no sacrifice, however Srent, (Jon .o life or death, she must save ie money for which her friends had toiled so long and earnestly, aud th? lou of which would involve them in min. And she thought ?ho saw a way to it, though it would compass her destruction. "You may put up your pistol," she said, calmly. T will show you where the money is concealeoY' "That's sensible, my dear. It's not ofton that sense and a pretty faoe go to? nether. But you are an exception. Come, bo lively." She took a candle from tbo table, selected one of a bunch of keys from a basket hanging on the wal)? and bade him follow b'-r. "he led him up stsira te thn dflbl uf thn rtlnast. .v.inlird thu b?v. and opening the door, pointed to a black box in the corner of tho closet. 8ht ?topped back for him to enter, but he seized her by tho wrist and pulled hei along with him. "1 know your game," said be: "you would get me into that close hole, and then lock the door on mo. Tnko out thai key and fling it down stairs, and then come in with me. I.shan't eat you." Sho obeyed him ) literally, rna as they stood together in the stifling place, which was scarcely large enough to con tain them, Margaret, wit'? a hand'which the man had left free, -eized on the dooi and pulled it to. It weat with a sh arr. click-shut nud locked at the same time. A fierce oath burst from the lips of thc burglar.. "What do j ou mean?" cri?e he. "Hell and furies? I shall suffocate! Open the door, or I will shoot you I? "Do as you please," said Margaret, de fiantly. "The door has a spring-lock, and can only be opened on the outsido, and unless some ono comes to release us we shall romain here until wo die, whicb will be only a few hours at the most." "You shc-dovil, why did you do this r he demanded, hoarse with rage. "Don't you know that you will dlo, too?" "Certainly ; but I prefer death to th? ruin of my best frioncK If we die her? -and we shall without a doubt-thc money will be saved " The oaths and threats and curaos o! the man were fearful, bbl Margaret fell no fear. Somethlag above and beyonc herself sustained her, nud she JIM hnpn\ purchase the old home for bor kind bene factor. The close, torpid air weighed upon he: like lead. Already had the wretch, wbt was her companion, sunk stupefied to tbt floor. All her past life came ap bofon her-?be remembered things loug for gotten-she ssw faces dead and buried abe heard voices mutti beneath tho gravt clods, and then lifo And sense faded, ant she knew no more. Judge Wallace found bin sister netter hat the storm coming on, it was deemet better to remain all eight, and early nex morning set- out for home, accompanier by his wife. Arriving in sight of the house, he wai surprised to see'the shatters, still closed aaa tho chimney giving out no smoke o welcome. At the gate a young man wai tying a horse, and tho judge exclaimed t< his vito: '. J'Bless my soul, Anuie I that's Ahrer arfo. ' There's no mUtakiog bim. ue'i home a month earlier thoa we expects* th!og a^kWfrfSb?Magfr ?he^iJHS riser; and the shutters ar? yet closed."

Algernon applied the key, and the open door revealed a fearful right. With frightfully distorted, purple f'ttCv, the robber lay on tho floor, stone dead, and a little removed from bim, paie and uuiei, lay Margaret. Algernon boro her down stairs and i?to tho open air, but it waa very loug before the gave any aign of life. Ana it was a week before she was able to (rive a detallad account.

Federal Intervention la Booth Carolin?. The President is reported to bave said in a convention about South Cs roi i ns affairs on Saturday that "he was deter mined that the colored republicans in that fjtate should vote in accordance with their honest convictions, if he had to order the whole anny ?uto the State to enable them to do au." If he bad ut tered this threat with an accurate com prehension of Kout h Carolina politics, Mr. Chamberlain, who has called on him for troop?, would bo a very badly scared man. What Chamberlain wants is not thal thc negroes shall vole according to .V--_. u... .u-. .u ... .hull InOii COU . ?cm/un, uud tii.it un j auuii tiwi a solid vote for Chamberlain, conviction or no conviction. Tho unfitness of the federal authority to interfert: ~y arms or in any other way in elections is clearly shown hy thc attitude of the President in this case. Ile hears but one side, and there are in South Carolina not two, but three, aides. Three parties are there in the field-one for Hayes and Chamber lain, one for TiMcn and Hamp?n, and a third for Hayes and Hamilton. To the last named a considerable number of Cromiueul and influential republican* olong, and under their guidance and \ instruction large numbera of colored mer have dr??iTuiiiu? to vole that ticket. Wi believe they are right in doing so. In fact they aro following advice which tho Hrruld gave them several weeks ago, and for tho best of reasons ; it is to the inter est of the colored people of South Caroli na to take General Humpton nt his word. He has promised them solemnly canal and complete protection in all their rights; he is a mau of character and de termination, who will keep hi.' Word, and ho will do what Chamberlain, as every negro in South Carolina knows, bas nerer done. Whether the negroes are right or wrong in voting for Hampton, however, they have a right to do so ; but this federal in terference attempts and is meant to de Srive them of that right. It not only eprives thom, but it also interferes wita the rights of those negroes, very consid erable in number, who menu to vote tho democratic ticket outright, Tilden and all. Wherever federal troops or federal interference in any of its shape* are felt in the South there the intolerant und lawless republican negroch are encour aged to persecute their brethren who manifest democratic or independent leanings, and these fellows go about very freely and openly threatening the live* of colored men who aro even suspected of an intention to dc anything but "rotc de straight republican ticket." ThiaVind of intimidation is going on now in South Carolina, as it has been carried on in Louisiana, in Alabama, in every South ern State. No ?hito intolerance is ball aa bitter or half as brutal and cunning a* this nogro intolerance, and it is encour aged and embittered wherever federal troops aro placed in the hands of repub lican politicians to use for political pur poses. In 1874 an Alabama negro speak er addressed crowds of negroes and ad vised them to hang any negro who should offer to vote the de tn oe rn ko tioket. He advised tho women tc have nothing to dc with such a mao : his wife ought to leave him, he said; his sweetheart ought tc scorn him ; the Church should spew him out; nobody should employ him or speaV to him. The samo thing is now goiug OE in Souih Carolina in the Chamberer iii* rest. A Charleston correspondent o a republican organ hero makes this cou fess'.ci: : "Thc fact is, the negrees do in timidate a mau of their color who desire* for any reason to turn democrat. The) will tu:<j him Out of their churches: noni of tho women will marry him or talk witt him ; the men also ostracise him, and i ne ia caught whore there are no whit? s.cn hs is siire ?o be mobbod stoned ant beaten." A correspondent of our own writing from Aiken, sends us two affida vita of democratic r?ogioes showin - ".elua threats of assassination .?!.'.. the uroblen i 3 well ct at cd by une b?^ck man, win asked "who would protect Mm if, havinj voted for Hampton, the State shoulc happen to go republican?" The Southern plantation negro has DI political convictions such as Gen. Gran spetk? ot. Ho Ima mainly fears, ground less fears, imposed on him by unscrupu lous republican lenders. He is taugh that his white neighbors me .n to rc enslave him, that General Grant is ht only protector, and that tho rep?blica] State candidate, aa in this caso Chamber Iain, is General Grant's representative for- whom ho is bound to vote bccauai *.ho3C' are the orders of General Grant That is his whole political catechism Whom he begins to doubt, as multitude aro doubting in South Carolina this year he leans toward tho democratic, party At this Chamberlain calls for troops Why,? To protect the blacks? Not a all. His suhcrents do not need protcc tion. It i:. lo intimidate those who ur about to oppose him ; he calls on Genera Grant for troops ; they come, and behoh every negro is at once persuaded tha Chamberlain is really. "General Grant* man," and that the blacks must suppor him. That is the meaning of this Uriel of "calling for troops." Ita object i simply Rna only to intimidate the bind voters ; and when we seo . report thn Major Merrill ls to be sent into Soutl Carolina-a man hated and dtapUed tuer and everywhere in tho South for his con duct ot other times, and an adept in jus this misuse of troops--it seoras bat to plain that tho mon who are misadvisinj the {resident iu ibis mailer are engage* in a disgraceful and dangerous plot t carry the State for Chamberlain b; wholesale and adroit intimidation of th' black as well as white voters. But this question relatos not to Soutl Carolina ?lone. This unconstitutiona and dangerous practice of federal inter fe renco m elections goes on now, iu th midst of the can va?, with tho consent c tho republican party managers and wit! tho silent astent of the republican candi date for flie Presidency. It is a part o the policy of the party ; indeed, its chic ant! only policy, for its speakers prof? no desire for reform. They say nothin; of hard money, of civil service abuaet of economy ; tue/ tell us ouly of a "uni ted South, and boast of their despair.! of troops to different Sutes. Are we then, to have another fear yean of thi perilous interference by the federal powe m elections? So far as any citisen cai tell by reading the republican party 01 gaus or listening to republican speakei such is the determination of the part, leaders. They ar? determined to rein ?Ute themselves in power by these meant Who shall assuro us that four years hone they , will not aie tho same means, th sam* force? once mcio to re-elect thea nc'vos and their corrupt Southern allies so much greater than eren tho must "inspired" republican oratora tell us would follow ? democratic victory, vh.it, taking their fPjftr?a for it, a prudent voter, having a stake in Clio country, would risk the dem?crata ratUcr than such a repub ?can policy. Qovernor Hayes and thc party mana gers ought to know that the uso of troops and all this federal interference in the South Ls causing a vague feeling of alarm among thoughtful voten. They ask themselves, where and when is this to end? Thc war closed eleven years ago. and herc is General Orant threatening to send thc whole army into South Carolina for iio oin cr object iban io rc-eiicv a par tisan of his, contrary to; the witt of a majority of the people of tho State. Hero are the republican managers using thc most dangerous and unconstitutional measures, not merely to perpetuate their own power, but to mipport and re-elect in the Southern State* *a set of men who have for years kept those communities in turmoil, have robbed them and have misled and misused the poor negro to his own destruction and their selfish advan tage. Nothing is more certain than that if thc republican party is to continue if* league with thc Packards, Kellogg*-, Spencers and Chamberlains ii ought to be beaten. No party deserves success or can ea *"eb' hold power over thc country which deliberately continue J ita alliance with and support of such men. If Gov. Hayes cannot now control his followers, his fel'ow-leaders, how cnn he, with thc best lu entions, be expected to control them after cdection? If by silence he now consents to such dangerous and vio lent interference is he not fatally com mitted to it? And is it safe to elect a President who is silent at such a time, nod thus cn..--imf.i beforehand to the most extreme poli.y o. thc most extreme wing of his party i Is it not, on the contrary, iii the highest degree dangerous to the country ? Tho iniquitous habeas corpu? and Force bill was defeated with great u??Ocully two winters ago. Hut the very men wb., then favored and urged 'but mMn.tr.ns act, and who have ever since regretted that it was not passed, arc now the leaders, tho controlling managers, of I the republican porty. If they are suc j ccssful in November will they not regard their policy ns approved, and go on for othes (our years with Southern legislation whose only consequence would lie to ere-, atc permanent civil disorders over a large part of he Union, to pmstrato industry and perpetuate hatred and discord? And I will they stop with the South ? Will they hesitate hereafter to utUmipt that in I Northern States which now they .so vehe mently do in the Southern l-N. V.Ifsraid. WI'KC I AI. NOTICE?.
