THE OAK CLOSET.
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

He whipped up his horse, and root

after shouting fer Margaret at the top o

He fo'ind the closet door locked, ?nd

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

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
