THE WAS ON NEW YORK IN 1870, AND
OH BOSTON IN 1770.-The wat -which
General Grant and the administration
myrmidons aro making oje Now York in
1870, 'says the Cincinnati Enquirer,
strongly resemblee ihkl "which the old
British King, George III, made npon
Boston a century before. Troops in
large numbers are now being aeut to New
York by the Federal Government for the
pnrposo of intimidating its citizens and
controlling the political action of elec?
tors. This was what tho British min?
istry, with the consent of a tyrannical
monarch and an odious Parliament, did
in 1770. "They sent cue red-coats to
Boston, thfa rebellious capital of New
England, to enforce tho stamp and other
obnoxious acts that were iuveuted to op?
press and impoverish the American peo?
ple. So, now, Grout sends his armed
force to New York, under pretense of en?
forcing an odious and unconstitutional
election law, that is designed to secure
the same.end. Oar fathers of 1770 met
this military usurpation upon tho
threshold, lu Boston and Massachusetts
it was openly resisted. The soldiers
were compelled to leave the town and
take refago in Castle William. The
whole country sympathized with tho
city, whose rights were thus invaded,
and the fires of liberty blazed from the
hill-sides in Maine to those of Georgia.
The w?r prosecuted by tho British Go?
vernment On Boston a century ago, was
mo^.honorable, however, than that of
ohs administration oh New York nt thc
pret?j?nfc tinte'. Tdiat was an ago. of regal
proscription; this h . ooo of popular
liberty. The relations between Great
Britain and the col?nr?s;\vere Ulrdefiued;
in the United Sia?fes tuey=?i?o'ocarately
drawn betweeu "tho States and the
Federal Government. George theVKjng,
in sending his military force to Boston,
bad an excuse that cannot be set up for
our Ulysses the First, who threatens to
sweep tho streets of New York with his
gun-boats, and to take tho ballot-boxes
with his soldiers and marines. We, in
1870, have fearfully degenerated from
the revolutionary pluck and .spirit that
was manifested in 1770, or otherwise
there would be an answering blast of in?
dignation expressed from one end of the
Union to tho other at UI?B brutal-may
be bloody-policy which has been inau?
gurated at Washington.
BAD FOR LONGSTREET.-The Lynch?
burg Virginian thus speaks of Gen. las.
Longstreet, tho renegade:
"We have heard from a gentleman of
character and responsibility that, after
Gen. Lee's death, his former trusted and
beloved comrade in arms. Gen. James
Longstreet, now United States Surveyor
of Customs at New Orleans, and n sup?
porter of Grant's Radical Administra?
tion, refused to permit the flags of tho
Custom House to be lowered at half
mast! So it seems that there! are some
other people besides Virginians who,
when they fall, fall heavy and fall hard.
THE ART TREASURES OF PARIS.-Fears
have been expressed that the wonderful
art treasures arranged in the Palace of
tho Nouvre, iu Paris, will be subject to
destruction by tho threatened Prussian
bombardment. These facts are, in a
measure, groundless. The Palace of the
Louvre ia situated at a distance of over
three miles from any portion of tho en?
circling wall, and the detached forts from
1,000 to 6,000 ynrds beyond the walls.
The Prussian army lies from one to tbrae
miles beyond these forts. Hence the
chances that tho palace will receive dam?
age from tho bombardment are very re?
mote. Only in the event of street fight?
ing, with its usual concomitants, suck
and pillage, are theso art treasures likely
to suffer serious injury. Even thou Ger?
man devotion to art may save them.
A QUEER BUSINESS.-WO aro informed
that when the election commissioners,
Messrs. Williams, Gleaves and Langley,
were arrested at Beaufort, their clerk
was sent by them to obtain the papers
containing the record of tho vote in
Beaufort County. As thin clerk carno
out into tho street, having tho papers in
his possession, n match was struck aud a
man mado a desperate grab at the pa?
pers. The dork drew his pistol and the
assailant fled, not, however, before ho
was recognized. This man who attempt?
ed to steal the election returns is, as we
aro informed, Isaac Reid, upon whose
affidavit the warrant for tho arrest of
Williams, Gleaves and Langley was is?
sued, and who was appointed a deputy
marshal to execute the warrant issued
npou his own affidavit. These are queer
ti mesh-Charleston News.
Affairs in Mexico, according to the
latest advices from tho Mexican capital,
aro much moro quiet than they have
boon for some timo past. Comparativo
tranquility reigns. How long it will
continu?is another question. Peace in
Mexico is like the little joker of tho
gambjor -"Now you see it and new you
don't see it." Let us hope, however,
for the best aud be thankful for oven thc
shortest reign of quietude poor Mexico
obtains.
A monster, at Cleveland, Ohio, last
week, while in a state of intoxication,
threw his child out of doors and beat,his
wifo to death.

"The Committee (that ia. tho Committee
of Wa?p? and M>ans,y was instructed to>j
report?t the next meeting at what, rate
certain unproductive stock can be dis?
posed of, and as to the feasibility of so
doing."
This resolution, I have reason to bo
liove, means mischief-means a Ring
operation. I desire the City Council to
know that the eyes of thc public ure
upon them. Let mo see if I cannot
foreshadow a big job -a nice affair for
soino secrot ring.
I learn that the oity of Columbia owns
$100,000 of atoe';, in the Charlotte, Co?
lumbia and Augusta Railroad. This is
the stock that tho Council call "unpro?
ductive stock," and aro inclined to sell.
But, why sell this stock, which is "flat"
now, as tho bankers and brokers term
it? "Hereby," I havo reason to be
liovo, "hangs a tale"-or a nioe opera?
tion. I learn that cortain parties have
bought up tho past due bonds of the
city of Columbia. Note, to sell the city's
siock in ike Charlotte, Columbia and Au?
gusta Railroad, and then to pay up thc
past due bonds of the city, mostly in the
hands of a Ring-is THIS THE (?AME? If
so, it may be a good thing for the ope?
rators, but it is a bad thing for tho city.
It is not good policy, I think, for the city
to soil its Charlotte, Columbia and Au?
gusta stock at tho present rates. Nor
sha!! th? City Council unchallenged sac?
rifice tho interests of the city for per?
sonal gain. I call upon those members
of tho Council, not of the Ring, that
may be iu collusion with outside parties
to protect the interests, of the city. I do
not uso names now, but if necessary, I
shall bring the deliuquents out.

THE AIMS OF MEN.-The aims of mon
are so very different that a mere enume?
ration of them would occupy- more space
than we can afford. One grand and uni?
versal object of mankind, however, first
suggests itself to the observer of life, and
this is, desire for accumulating wealth.
Men toil and strive, for weary years, tc
amass a little hoard of yellow dust, one
perhaps, after youth, energy and laboi
have been expended to secure this, they
find that wealth cannot bring happiness
aud go disappointed to the grave, searct
knowing how to dispose of the frui
which wasted life, so far as they are con
cerned, produced. It must bo indeed i
harrowing reflection to man, ns he near
that figurative river which divides timi
from eternity, that he has buried im
mortal hopes in a sphere undeservinj
the tremendous sacrifice; that, thoogl
his meed be won, thc triumph is useless
Naked we came into the world, unke<
we must leave it. The pomp and splen
dor of worldly surroundings benefit ni
longer their possessor than thc air of th
earth sustains his being. As life departs
they recede, and leave the spirit oui;
nlive to its better instincts. Dross o
earth is forever dissevered from thu
otherinl substance when it plumes it
wiugs for a flight into the unseen, th
real and the eternal. But, love of gain
if predominant, is not the only life-lov
of frail, misjudging mau. There is
higher, though not less fallacious ambi
tiou-tho last iufirmity of noble minds
which, whether on tho battle-field or i
the forum-whether hovering around th
midnight lamp of tho student, or an;
mating tho adventurous explorer, look
to fame, rather thau wealth, for its finr
reward. Wo confess that thero is some
thing in this last-named halluciuatio
which demands respect never to bo nc
corded to tho mere accumulator of gob;
Thero is something in every huma
bosom which asks remembrance-eve
on earth. Savage nations tacitly
by their revoreuco for tho dead, ar
plainly seen to share this universal ser
timent. Those master works of nr.
tiquity, tho pyramids, were doubtlot
reared for majestic tombs, aud thc Ir
dian hunier, even when abandoning hi
hunting grounds and prairies, takes wit
him the bones of his fathers, and chant
iueir warlike deeds in his wild batt!
song. Ossian, of all poets, is, perhaps
most effective in allusions to this uuivci
sal feeling. "Tho famo that rises iron
death" was always, with his misty wai
riors, superior in esteem to proson
gratification. It is tho virtue of Chris
tianity that another and better fame im
pels its followers to moro glorious action
Looking to a hereafter of eternal dorn
tion, the high-thoughted and high-prin
cipled Christian awaits his reward til
oarth, his probationary theatre, an?
time, its concomitant, shall have vanish
ed into nonentity. How sublime, in tb:
aspect, does his ok'iracter appear! Hot
frivilons seem the aims of other, bc
aido his, in this view of things: Win
I dares assert tho contrary?
