Frauds. It seems difficult for our people in this section to get rid of thc sharpers. It has been clearly demonstrated that we have enough bad men of our own raising in South Carolina, so that we m do not need to import them from *other sections of thc country, who arc worse than our* home production. But they will come as long as they can make it pay to impose them selves upon the people. Many of the rogues come South to winter, who have other chosen resorts during thc summer. Wc arc informed on the best of authority, that a set of gamb lers traveling upon the Northeastern and Savannah railroads during thc last winter, were known on these routes to have won in gambling and taken from our unsuspecting citizens and others, between thirty and forty thousan.tHlolfiusT~and they aro again " 'JtP*work "on"these routes. '"So'ver^ great was thc extent to which this was carried lost year that thc rail road companies had notices put up ii: the cars warning the passengers not to accept oilers to play at cards. But all the measures they could usc (lid not put a final stop to this game of the sharpers. They go in gangs, and play and win money from each other and by that means draws others into it, and those who venture arc as sure, to be caught as thc silly fiy who goes into tho pretty parlor of tho spider. These traveling scourges arc well trained in their business, and know bow to win money from the unsus pecting. Let thc public be on their guard against them, and sturve them out. It is said these some gamblers deal in counterfeit money. It is re ? ported that at some ^f thc recent cir-' cub exhibitions in our State, parties were selling counterfeit*money for ten cents on thc dollar. Tho law should be rigidly enforced against all sifch pests in the community. They should learn at least, that the South is no place for them. Let them bc put where they will bc obliged to carn'an Honest living. [*COM M UNI CA T EU.] MK. EDITOR : - Notwithstanding the prejudice of our people against evey thing Northern, they cannot hut commend your ?troits in behalf of honesty in officials. Hut our people must bo aware that they are, in a mcasuro, responsible for all thc fraud, corruption, dishonesty, poverty that has oppressed us for thc last six years,. Tho "masterly inactivity," and stand-aloof-policy1, so much ad vocated just previous to the constitu tional convention of 18G8, sowed the seed, the bitter fruits of which we hove been renping ever since. Such was the prejudice, (strengthened* by such advice as this) that but few hon orable or honest men dared, in the face of public opinion, to become one of the many required in our legisla tive halls. As*.& t-cbnscqucnco thc majority of thc State and county offi ces were lil?Oil by tlhihoncst and. cor H? rupt raen, who sought them for self-, agrantlisemeut, ami who used as a weapon against us, this very preju dice and stnnd-off-poliey to obtain thc su tirages of thc blacks. 'Vigilance slept. We were "mas terly inactive." lt was suicidal ; hut let us hope that our people will profit by thc lesson. Brought suddenly from slavery, poverty,Ignorance, to liberty, what ?l.ould wc have expected of thc ne gro? That he should know and con line himself to that "middle point be tween thc two extremes of licentious ness and slavery in which true Libe? ty consists?" lt is absurd. '.Des potism degrades and demoralizes thc human mind ; and although she at length forces men on a just attempt, to recover by violence, those rights that by violence were taken + away, yet that deprivation superinduced by despotism, renders men unlit for a rational exercise ol'those civil rigltts : with which they have been" invested, At such a-crisis, to expect that any people should keep the strict,** un bending path of rectitude and reason, without-deviating into private rapine or public wrong, were as wisc as lc expect that a horse would walk in a straight line "immediately on being released from his trammels, after having been bliiulcd hy a long rou tine of drudgery in the circle of a mill.* < Thc people clamoured for self-gov ernment-and they obtained it ; but at thc same time the colored people were invested with the right of suff rage. They were ignorant, uneduca ted, and as a consequence were led by demagogues, unprincipled knaves, who tfscd them as a mask for their own corruption. ^ Hut thc\-, themselves,- soon saw the necessity of, and demanded what their leaders were afraid lo deny-ed ucation; "A government that is cor rupt can no more-exist with a popula tion that is enlightened, than Hit night can continue when thc sun it up." Education has opened thc eyes ol the negro and he now knows full well ' the game that bas boen practicer] i upon him. Ile has learned enough . ' to know tir?t his and our interests arc identical. i Lei us, then, throw aside party,sec tional and color prejudice, and join 1 willi them in an independent dibi t for ! i honest men and honest measures. "The Lord WM Provide" A city missionary, one Saturday night, was going home with a haskel of provisions on lu's arm. Meeting ii policeman, he asked him if there had any families moved in thc bounds of iiis heat during thc week. Ile an swered, "Yes," and, pointing to a building up an alley, and said, "A woman and some children arc living there now." Thu missionary went to ibo house, rapped at the door, and was admitted. Thc woman was sitting by a small light sewing. In thu corner of the room were Uvo little girls, appcar ently from nine to twelve years of age, playing. Thc missionaa^' said, "Madam, I am herc to see if yon will allow your ?girls to attend S ti lid av School tomor row moi liing." "I would, sir phut what yon see on ihem is ali tho clothing they have, and you would nut wish them to go as they are now." "Thc Lord will provide, madam. Have you no money?" "Not yet, but I have com nit tied my case into thc hands of the Lord." "Have you anything to cat?" "Nothing sir !" "What will you do for breakfast?" "Oh, sir, I once hail a husband ; be provided when he could. These children had a lather; he supplied their wants ; but he is dead now. Vet my maker, even God, is my hus band, and he bas promised tobe a lather lo Hie fatherless. Wc have committed all, to Him, huyo called upon Iliin in this our day ol' trouble. I am trusting hrGod to take care of a poor widow and her children in a strange place, and I know Ho? will provide." "Thank God fot^such faith," said thc missionary ; and handed her the basket, said^IIerc is your breakfast, and you Bhall havo? thc clothing for your children." ' * With tears streaming down her face, she replied : t. ? n i CAB "OU ! thank God for His lailU^nl ness ! IIc?. hciirelh ami answeteth prayer. May ITQ bless you !" Anti; said our dear brother tb* us*, *'I felt Ibo promise- %vns une, lor if she was blessed in receiving, I was mero in giving." Despond, Ilten, no lpn geri thc Lord will provide. F. A. S?HIFFLEY, ??
