{ Republican* and Democrat*, will admit |
(but the election *4 <4?wit is a foregone
condition. I have recently had fine
opportunities of teeing bow (be public
sentiment is drifting el lb? North, snd
I feel oetffideut ihe Democrats will n?il
csrrr a tingle original free Slate for
Seymotir.
Why U the North so strongly in favor
of General Grunt, snd what course
is be likely to pursue f No one ha*
more aptly, or st I think, more correctly
explained the reason of the unanimity
for Grant thsn Mr. Adsins in his teoenl
letter and speech in Colombia. In his
letter he says "distrust and feat hare
dictated your terms more than malice
or revenge.'* lie thinks the defest ot
the Democratic party will result from
the fear that " its success would jeopardize
the substantia! re-ults of the war.to
Ue declares distinctly that " no par'.y
could msintain itself which should re
pitdiate the war or suriender its acqoii-iiionsr\g
I am well acqtiainled with
many of the leading mm of the Republican
parly, and believe I under
stand the principle* of ths parly well,
and 1 feel confident that nitieMenlbs of
the Republican members of Congress
would fell) endorse tho main points in
Mr. Adem?' speech and letter. There
is n > spirit of malice or revenge actuating
the gtest mass of tha Republican
patty. There is no dedie to see men
without character, wiietber Northern or
Southern born, governing the people of
the So'dth. Nor is there any desire to
see ignoranco and incompetence occu
pvirg high places and legi.-lating for
the country. lint there it ? delertnina-. ,
tion to secure nil the auhMamiat remit*
of ,the war, to preserve the credit of the
government, to secure the equality of
h!I classes iu the eye* of the law, and to i
ee to it thrl the freednten have equal
and impartial justice done them all over
the South'. Above all thing*, there in a
fixed determination to e?ial>ll?h free*
doni of opinion and freedom of speech,
and to suppress the lawlessness and vio
lence mow exiting nil over the South.
It is It'll that General Grnul is the tnnn
before all other* to do this wotk.
But In General Grant the law abiding
white Mien of the South will not
find an enemy. Nothing in his course
ha- indicated that he wtdild act the par
ii>at? in the execution of the Imts. Ili*
CoUita during the war Was alwaV* that
of a generous foe, and Mine the war
closed he lias at all lime* shown the
gieatesl dedre to testore the Union it*
eail) a* possible, and on ilio basis of
law and justice, Even Go*einor Perry
would scarcely be able U? point to a
single act of General Gram indicating
a deposition to trample upon the laws
and asauine dictatorial powers. Those
who believe that General (bant will b?
a tool of ulna men. or indeed of anybody,
know but little of the character of
the man. In hlin the North believe*
j we will have a President firm but just,
I enrt mtKA ae*ill "I"*" ? *
anu -uu > ifUV} MIO CU1III11 HIIOII RTMI
laws liim>elt and enforce obedience from
oilier*, of whatever party, and who will
enforce the honest nod economical administration
of the government. Cannot
honest, patriotic, law abiding and
law-loving inen of the South, of both
partius, respect such a man t It ie my
Itope and belief that within a f-w
months sf er general Grant'* inauguration
be will be a popular man with all
friend* of law and order at the South.
Now, the suggestion that I wish specially
to make, and to urga upon your
attention, is that the pre** and, leaders
of the Democratic parly modify their
tone ?omewhat; that instead of violent
abuss of the opposition, calculated to
excite the bad passion* of demoralised,
lawless men, that e?ery etTort be made
to realrain such men ; that all act* of
violence be discountenanced and dis
cotu agod, atid that evil disposed p*'r>oiu?
be reminded of the harm they are do
ing the country, and especially their own
party. I am confident the Republican
leaders will - readily agree with the
Democrats ip do all in their power to
prevent vtoh-pce, and to urge moderation
at all time* and place*. With
snck an arrangement between the par
tie*. 1 doubt not we could ptevent to e
great exteat the lawle ane*e and bloodftha/l
I It At 1j ?? - *
- ? .?<> .. WTorj pur* Ul
(he 8ou*b. We do out ask, end do not
desire, your parly to desist from any
proper meant of carrying the election
in South Carolina. We intend to use
all fair, legitimate mean* of carrying
the State, and we are certainly willing
for you to do the same. But we do
aak, and tfce believe the request to be a
reasonable one, that you unite your efforts
with ours to prevent violence. I
know that many prominent men in llie
Democratic party in this city would
readily sanction such a course, believing
that it would result in very great good
to the country, and to the credit of their
party. It would tend not only to luing
about a more friendly feeling between
the two parties and the two races at the
South, now entirely too bitter for the
welfare of either, but it would create at
the N oith a feeling of greater confidence
In the good intentions of the
white people of the 8outh that would
he most beneficial.
I hope you will concent to puldirb

To th? Public., ,
It h*? always been my opinion.-that
the health of a eomrtiuntty should not n
be confided solely to the medical practitioner.
The Study and practice of
Hygiene?thsi is, the investigation end .
application of principles to the preven !
tion of disease?-surely belong to the J
people, h is uwl mv intention, bow?v
er, to insist upon this as a popular ,
duty, except in one of its branches, '
namely, disinfection?the purification
of the air we breathe. The iinporlanc '
and practicability of this, bas been fell '
by everybody. Who lies r.ot scattered (
time about his house, in the hope of 1
diminishing the frequency, or moderat- <
ing the seventy of sickness f This hope '
has often been disappointed on account '
of the feebleness, combined with the '
bulk and consequent high pi ice of the
disinfectants employed. I3ut, recently, (
a new agent has been introduced into 1
practice with such satisfactory results, {
as to remove from consideration a!1 the 1
articles hitheito in u?e for thi* purpose. |
This Mgent is Carbolic Acid. It wa?
discovered more than thirty vesrs ago
in Germany, hut only recently brought
to notice. There are too kiuds of this
substance?one a dark brown fluid, '
known as Commercial Carbolic Acid?
the oilier is, when kept from the air, a
crvstaline solid. This latter is solely
for the physician and surgeon ; and its
immense value in the treatment of va
rioits disease is now undergoing demonstration.
The commercial or tluid Car
bolic Acid, is used for didnfecting pur- |
poses, Hini II is to linn, I wish lo cm 11 .
the Mtioniion of lite people.

of die lenruod in medicines, have, fur 1
many years, U.ew more conveiging to

point. Carbolic Acid destroys these
aiiimslcides. There is no doubt of ibi-.
It kills tlie cockroach, drives off home
Hie<, destroys vetinin upon animals, t
cheese mites and all that class; and ,
the strength sufficient lo accomplish ,
this destruction, is perfecdy innocuous |
|o creatures of a higher organization 1
than insects. ,
My suggestion is, then, that every f
house, should, at once, piocnre a pint |
of fluid Carbolic Acid, and use it a* <
follows: Put one hulf ounce of the '
Acid into A gallon of boiling water.? <
Kilter die solution thus made, to remove

ready for use. An ordinary wineglass
full of this solution should be sp-iekled
in every room in the house, every day
or two. Lei it also be applied onder
ihe house, and to every place (hat gives
live to impure air. It removes all man
uer of fetor instantaneously. No eiok
room should be without it. One dollar
will purchase enough to disinfeet one
houso for six months. Let the people
put their shoulders to tbia wheel, and
tee what can be done for the improvement
of health. j V ,< ,

, Poverty.?A great many persons
calKug tltemaoives Christians and pry-'
fessing to follow the meek ami lowly
Jesus, shun the poor and needy and
often spur* and insult them because
they are poor, at if some sort of dis
grace attached to poverty. Such is not
the case. There is no dLhonor in poverty,
since it may be purely the result
of misfortune which no sagacity could
avert. Men or women lose none of
their manlv or wotnanlv dualities in
; 1 ~ " /

Many years ago, in our boyhood, w
attended the tnee ing of the Charle*lo
Association. Among the incident
which occurred, was a sermon?lb
Charity Seimon on Sunday?preach t><
; by Mr. (now Or.) Manly, pastor of th
)t' Charleston Church. It occupied tw
j hours. Happening to stay at the asm
j 'house, we heard Air. D.oeeey say to th
preacher?** Well, Brother Manly, yo
have tired me out with your long sei
r' mou." The preacher was just the ma
| for stich an eocountar. Ue replied
with that indescribable smile, whicta i
peculiar to him, " Ah, Brother Doesey
it takes a smart man to preach a shot
e sermon." The smile was contagious
6 All joined.in it and were happy.

Qod'? Plan in Geography.
Physical geography now claims that
ie the particular arrangement of aeas, ?on_
tinauiai mountain*, and rivore which
1 the earth hat received, it the very beet
( that could be given for the purpoee to
i which the earth ia designed. At the
I* divine wisdom it manifested in the or)r
dar and adaptation of the part* of tho
e hum in body, of animals, and of planter
to there ie an object in the pectiUaa
shape the continents have been made
n to assume. Everything works in bar* :
g mony with a divine plan, which we .
o claim to be beginning to comprehend,

would have the climate of Labrador.?

Sweden with (be corresponding !atU

1 Andes, which arrest (ha rain elood^

watered continent, would be ft

tains, or change their direction to east
and west, and wre- hare our own fertile
country twined. Elevate our Southern

There is literally a face to nature as
j there is a face to man. As we have
. our circulation of the blood, eo there ie
y the circulation of the earth's greet heart
k) of fire, tbs circulation of the waters,

4 have yet to consider the*# varied shape#
of nature in their relation to each tuber
t and to man and animal life. Bui are
