KtjK .'Porker' at. tasc?me* put
with a ' reply to .the. communication of
Mr. Edwin J. Scott* chairman of a com?

Mr. SToott had proposed to exajtoftie that

therefor is that there is a mode of exam?
ination for his '.office provided - by low,
and'to that examination alone lie feels
disposed to submit. Now, Mr. Parker
must be well aware that bia communica?
tion simply details facts, already well
known, Bat does he not k?ow" that it
is b beni a BO tho official examin?t ions are
not'.regarded reliable,, that the '.publie
would be pleased to hove a report from

the Radical supporters T? iSMayor Pills?
bury & Oo..are disposed t? carry'.things
lrith a high hand. If tho duty ia im
posectupon the Conservatives of teaohl
iug theso people a lesson, it is to "be
boped that it will be well applied. The
jYetcs, ot yesterday,.says:
"Yesterday afternoon, a party of, 100
or 500 negroes assembled at . the coori:
?iouBe- the scone of tho troubles of three
years ago. . A .colored man,' who: cheered
for Geuerat Wagener, waa Immediately
Bet upon, biB bead waa gashed, and he
?waa in .other ways serriOnsly injured.
Tjater in tho ?vening bb carno- out. from
..ha guard house, where he bad. lain
hiding, and walked quietly towards
Meeting street; Once more 'ho was at?
tacked. Tho handful of white men in
the neighborhood ran to protect him.
They, in turn, were assailed, and t li ree
of their number wore knooked down and
badly bruised. '' The rioters carried ali
before them, and,.encouraged by" their
success, tbey openly announced their de?
termination, of 'mashing 'all* tba bloody
white men to pieces to-day and tb-mpr
row.V These .are the- stern ... facts;' and.
they prove that Pillsbury.and bia whole
crew will-;be elected, unless the white
ci tizona of ' Charleston see to' i t that there,
is a forcVat' hand, both to-day and to?
morrow, to proteot all oitizena ia the ex?
ercise of their privileges, and to prevent
an infuriated mob of seuii-b'arpariaos
from riding rough-shod over tba oowed
bodies of tho good pccpl? cf thc city.
'.And hdw may this ba done? We
answer, by putting numbers against
numbers, and, if needs be, force against
force. It is not sufficient that a aoattor
iog party of whites-should loiter aro lind
the polling precincts. They must bo
there in a body. They must act toge-'
tuer. They mast be ready for the worst.
If blood is to be shed, it cannot be in a
better causo than that of vindicating tho
right of every oitizan to vote, without
molestation, for the candidates of his
choice.
"The polls mu Ht be guarded to-day, SB
well as to-morrow, and they must be
guarded all day long. We entreat all
employers to set their yoong- moa free'
for these two days. For,.if we ore again
brow-beaten, if we hold ont -the left
cheek aa well as the right tothe ami tor,
wo 'may as weU relinquish-,at once ell
hope of obtaining a decent and capable
goveinment-^we may as well-abandon'
forever - this "Charleston, whose -very
stones we love,- and confess ourselves the
.willing bondsmen bf the marauding Ra?
dical negro." .
The New York Times has been for
several days publishing. lengthy state?
ments and. columns of figures,' relative
fib francis committed hy the city govern?
ment. There is "another sido" to the
story. It is proper to say that the
Herald, the World, the Journal of Com?
merce, and other papers, all point to the
- fact that all the oharges, whether tree or
Mao, whether exact or exaggerator]Pt aro
ehargoB against the old board of super*
visors,' which a Republioan Legislature
created' and a Demooratio Legislature
abolished. The def anot board forms no
part of the machinery of the present
municipal government. They all, also,
call for a full investigation of the city
government, and olaim that there ia pro*
vision f?r honest government in toe
fotare. A fall statement of tho a oe du n ts

COLORRD RIOTBBS.-Tba Charleston
News gives an account of a Republican
meeting, held in that city, on Monday
night, ?t which several prominent Rudi
osla spoko. There was a procession,
.banners; etc.. On returning ' from tho
meeting, the colored politicians could
not refrain from disturbing'quiet citi?
zens. Tho News says : ,
Tho procession was gathering num?
bers as it went on, and with increase of
numbers came an increase of excitement
and recklessness, amounting in many in?
stances to deedB of fiendish malevolence.
As they passed up Washington street,
they attacked the promises of Mr. Otto
Tiedemann, corner Calhoun street, broke,
hie windows, and - destroyed everything
they could lay their hands on. Now,
what induced this wanton assault and
destruction we are- at a loss to conceive,
for a more peaceable or a more estima?
ble gentleman lives not in this city thaq
Mr, Tiedemann. The next house that
suffered from the fury of the' mob was
Mr. C. H. Blancken, corner Charlotte,
and Washington streets. They broke
his windows, entered the store, and
thrust a burning torah into a m-.lusses
barrel, under the impression that it was
a kerosene barrel. A fiend incarnate
could not have exceeded this piece of
devilishness.
Delighted with these brave achieve?
ments, the savage crowd next attacked
the store and house of Mr. Klintworth,
No. 50 Washington street. They broke
windows, as ueual, threw brickbats
through them into the rooms, one large
piece hitting Mrs. Klintworth in the face
and nearly killing her; breaking crock?
ery, furniture, ?.o. These- playful exhi?
bitions of Radical manners Were accom?
panied by yells and shrieks, hurrahing
for Pillsbury, -singing,. "John Brown is
marohing on," alternating with abuse of
General Wjgener, and threats of "burn?
ing down every d-d putchman'a house."
The pext attuok was at the corner of
John and Meeting streets, where they
made repeated efforts to break into the
store, throwing stones at the windows
I and doors, trying to force them open,
all the while abusing and cursing the
Germans.
Mn. STEPHENS AS AN EDITOBIAII PARA?
QUAT HI ST.-Aleck Stephens, of tho At?
lanta Sun, oan hit back with some point
if his political "paragraphs" are five co
lumus long. The Louisville Journal,
alluding to the report that the little mau
bad gained-nine ponnds since he was
last weighed, remarked that ho must
have had one bf his editorials in bia
pocket; whereupon Aleok retorts: "If
the Journal editor should put one of Ats
editorials in his pocket, he'd go np like
a balloon."

FRENCH . RESOOTIOES.-When France
finally succumbed after the terrible strug?
gle with the German military power, shu
was ulmost universally treated by Ame?
rican journals as dead beyond tho power'
of resurrection. We felt compelled to
doubt the porrcot.oeM of that opinion,
and pointed out tho fact that shu had
been reduced to worse straits before, aud
had rapidly reahperated. Oo ouo occa?
sion tho great statesman Burke opposed
ia the House of Com moue an iucrease
of the army estimates on the ground
that France had ceased to be a first rate
military power, and in two years after?
wards ho urged a combination of all the
groat European powers to resist her pro?
gress. Tho resources of tho nation ure
vast, and Frenchmen, as a general rule,
are prudent and economical. Outside
the cities little is expended for show, or
even for comfort, the aim being to save
as much as possible,, und when the. Go?
vernment wants to borrow there is
money to lend. Thus it happens (hut
the late loans, to tho remarkable success
of which wo have heretofore referred,
were so rapidly taken. ? Tho original de?
mand of Bismarck was for eight milliards
of francs, to be paid within less tban
two years. Tho milliard, or 1,000,000,
is cquivalont in tho enumeration of
francs to $200,000,000 in gold. Ono
milliard and a "balf of frauen, or $300,
000,000, < bad to be paid to Germany
within tho present year. Thiers made a
OAII on Franco for a loan of 8100,000,
000, and within h few hours $900,000,000
Was offered him,- of which $700,000,000
was subscribed by France, (Paris offer?
ing $500,000,000, and the provinces
$200.000,000,)'Ibe rest beiug lent by
foreign capitalists.
Aa the Philadelphia Press remarks,
Prince Bismarck, who allowed tbe in?
demnity to be reduced to five milliards,
is probably eorry, by this timo, that be
did not adhere to bis first demand of
eight-that is $1,600.000,000, instead of
$1.000.000.000. He batt not calculated
sufficiently on the recuperative power of
France. - The subscription to 4.00O,
OOO.OOOf., estimating the whole popula?
tion, adult and juvenile, at 40,000,000
souls, gives au average of saved money
for' every one. The interest on the
loan ia six per cent., which is double the
amount paid on the national debt of
England. We, too, pay six per cent.,
but tho difference is that France bor?
rowed in .gold, the United States in
paper money.
Th? Press adds that when Ibe Franco
Prussian war broke out, a year ago,
England bad a national debt-funded,
unfunded and value of annuities-ex?
ceeding $4.000,000,000. France th- n
owed $2,850,000,000. While the war
went on this was increased by two lonna
of $200,000,000, thereby making an
amount of $3.1150,000,000 at tho olose of
1870, being $950,000,000 less than that of
England. The new loan will swell this
up to $3.45.0.000,000, leaving the French
debt $550.000,000 less than the Eoglish.
That is, in sterling money. ?690,000,000
French against ?800,000,000 English.
A STEANOE BEING IN A TEXAS RIVEK.
The Brownsville (Texas) Slates says that
A. A. Freoman, Esq., member elect from
Haywood County, to the next Legisla?
ture, made to oue of the editors of that
paper, in the presence of several well
known gentlemen, the following remark?
able story: J. B. Maxey.au intelligent
citizen of Bell's Depot, in this Couuty,
aud keeper of the hotel in that place,
and fbr whom A. A. Freeman vouches as
a reliable, truthful man, was fishing lu a
canoe, on Joly 7, in Forked Deer River,
near Bell's Depot, and iu that part of the
river between the railroad and dirt road
bridges, when his attention was called to
an object in the river, some fifty yards
distaut, which proseuted the appearance
of a man drowning. Maxey rowed his
boat within ten feot of the object, and
saw a remarkable oreature, os the follow?
ing desoription will testify: It bad a face
perfectly white, with features like those
of a human being. It bad something
like moss on its bead instead of bair,
aud its neck was longer than the neok of
a man. Its body, down to the waist, or
so much of it as was exposed, was cover?
ed with black and white spots. It was
as large as an ordinary man, and bad
large black eyes. Maxey was within ten
feet of it ten minutes. He did not Bee
any arms. It looked at bim and slowly
turned around and disappeared in the
water. Thomas Neal, Esq., told Mr.
Freeman that bo saw the same thing at
tbe same plaoo about three years ago,
but did not tell it because be thought he
wonld he laughed at. James Neal and
Isaac Ward say tbey saw the same crea?
ture.
The Wy tho ville (Va) DispaicJt relates
tbe following: "Not far from us a young
lady attempted to leave the paternal
mansion at dead of night, by loworing
herself from hor chamber by means of a
Sully and rope fastened to the window,
he had just reached the ground, where
her lover awaited-her, when her enraged
siro appeared, seized tbo yonng mao,
fastened 'the hook to bis pants, and
raised him skywards, leaving him dang?
ling in the air until morning. The
elopement ia postponed indefinitely.''

' mends what would bo virtually tho abdi?
cation of tho Queen, und the transfer of
at least the moro .im por tant duties of her
oflico t? tho Priuoe and Princess of
Wales. The Pall Mall Gazelle says:
"Her Majesty's health is understood
to require these Inopportune visits to
Balmoral, and tho actual business of
royalty can bo doue by no one but her?
self. But the social duties of her station
.could be equally well performed by the
Prince and Priuoess of Wales. At o fu?

in social aud public lifo which the Queen
has vacated, and there is no reason why

court was kept there for her hy the
Prince of-Wales. Tho subject is one
which it is tho duty of the Cabinet to
bring before the attention of thu sove?
reign. It Conoerns-it very nearly con
cerus-the interests of her crown and
dignity, and it cannot be doubted that
if her ministers placed it before her in

willingly accede - to a suggestion so rea?

SUK CATCHES HIM.-A lady correspon?
dent of the New York Commercial Ad?
vertiser, writing from Long Branch, de
scribos her uneasiness at the too frequent
und too protraoted absences of her hus?
band, who is spending the season there
with her. Finally, she finds him out,
and reclaims him, as follows:
I made a discovery a few evenings
since which relieved my mind from a
great deal of worriment. Our Bex ar?,
naturally, suspicious dud inquisitive. I
was having a pleasant chat ut the room
of a lady friend, when I thought I heard
my husband's voice over the fan-light of
a neighboring room. . We listened, and
heard boisterous laughing, whioh soon
convinced us that both our husbands
were there. We could hear distinctly,
"Chip," "Chip," "Chip," "Twenty
better," "What ye got," and a score or
more of odd expressions. Woman's cu?
riosity waa not long in being gratified.
We had no occasion to peep through the
keyhole; we learned, to oar entire satis?
faction, that nur'husbands were wedded
to "two pairs."
I wish you could have witnessed my
husband when he entered our apartment
about 3 o'clock next morning. I had
boon waiting for him-had a sleepless
night. He entered stealthily, ned com?
menced undressing himself. He was ar?
rested for a moment by my snoring. I
confess I snored, but only in fnn. lt
was just to fool him. He, poor follow,
stared at mo with all tho eyes in his head;
he bad never heard me play before on
the nasal organ. I went it as strong as
Levy, but with not quito so much har?
mony. There ho stood, like patience on
a monument, when I commenced talking
in my sleep-"Chip," "chip," "chip."
"tweuty-fivo better," "two pair."
Wa9n't be a picture, though. I could
stand it no longer, and so roared right
ought. He cou fessed all, and promised
to do bettor, and to give moro attention
to his deserted wile.
Ono of tho negro legislators of Missis?

is the use of civil rights?"
Mrs. Olsflin, in the last number of,her

If u rigid analysis of the present condi?

A camp meeting of colored people began -.
at ?lie'above place on' last Friday,ana'
bad been continued up to the'night of
tho shooting. Monday, night, two men
rode up to .within a short distance of the ' '
congregation, when a colored man, who '
seemed'to be acting as a kind of guard';
'to tins road, hailed them with "Who are
you?" The mounted men replied ; witbr .
the asmo question, wben the/colored'":'
man ngail? asked, VVYho ate you?" . The"
party, on horseback?, evidently thanking
that their passage was to be interrupted, '
fired upon their interrogator; wounding
him id the thigh; whereupon, the ?Wbr?d
man attempted to run, when ho waa fired
upon the second time,-and wouuded in
the other thigh. Sbmo tw?lve bf "'four-.
teen shots warp fired, bu? with 'no, Other;''
damage, neatly alf the ballsjiassing high,
over, the hoads of the congregation. A :
' spent ball struck a-woman ?n1 the neck,
.but did not burt her. J'OAr informant
says that the parties who did tho shoot'.
|. in g were not disguised,, nod tlult it was
evident; from the^ effect " of the shots, ?
that they did not intend tb kill ahy ono,
I but merely to frighten the mau who nod'
'< questioned thoir passage. They rode off
in the direction of Ookesbury. Great
excitement prevailed at Greenwood.for a*'' '
short time, on account of thc affair, but
it waa believed that it would" quiet dawn
as soon as the matter was properly un?
derstood. It was no Ku Klux raid;
