The Charleston Poet, of Thursday says Nancy Juno MoAtocr, a young whito girl, aged 10 years, whoso homo is in Chester, S. C.. was Thursday morning taken out of F. Capers' rostaurant on Market street by the polioo. Tho girl had fccon placed thoro by Robert Sumner, a Mind whito man, who was fined in tho Recorders' Court on the ohargo of being drank and for lar ceny < f oloihing trom Anna Stewart, 111 Cum) erland street. Tho place kept by Caper.', who is a negro, is a notorious divo, and is in tho vory heart of the toughest and most wicked section of Market s'reet. It is frequented by ?11 sorts of vile men and women and is no place for a young whito girl. Capers has frequently been before tho grand )ur\ on the charge of selling liquor ai d has also appeared be fore tho Recorder on the ohargo of keeping a gambling dive As soon as it bcoAtne known at polioo headquarters that the MeAtcer girl was living in this notorious resort, Lit ut Dunn, the olfioer of the day, sent at officer to the placo and lnd her brought to tho station house. She seemed glad to get out of the place and expressed a 1 . a - - - i 1 ucuiro 10 return 10 n^r nouic in uncstcr, whcro her rnotLor and father livo. Stops will bo taken to havo her sent to her homo. In tho meantime sho wi:l bo eared for by the Florence Crittenton Homo, as Mies Tharin, tho matron of that institution, has const ntcd to take charge of tho girl while arrangements are being made to havo hor roturncd to her pooplo. Sho was sont to the Crit tonton II* me. Tho ohiId was scon at the police si a tion shortly before being sont to tho Grittenton lloino. Sho is a blue oyod, flaxen-haired girl, and is exceedingly bright for a ohild of hor years. Sho told tho story of how sho oamo to bo in Charleston in a plain, straightforward, child-liko manner. Frtquontly sho would hurst into toars and express a wish to roturn to her mothor and father in Chester. Sho came luro last Friday wi?h Sumnor, a blind mau, 10 lead hiui ?Lui the stroots, for whioh ho was to pay hor twonty-fivo oents a day and hoard. She loft hor homo with her mother's cousont to go to Columbia with Sumner, who was to roturn hor to her people last Mouda; , but instoad ho brought hor Charlenon.

"What arc tho polioo going to do with mo?" asked tho girl, and in tho Himo broath said who hoped thoy would Bond hor homo. Ilor father's namo, ?ho Baid, is llocd MoAtoor, and works in a ootton faotory at Chester. Robert Sumnors statod that ho had hired tho girl from hor mother, saying that ho had agreed to pay her twontyfive cents per day to load him about tho streots, and acoording to tho oontraot ho owes tho ohild $5, but is Lotablo to pay hor as businoes has boon dull sinco coming to Charleston. Whon asked why he carried tto MoAtoer ohild to a negro restaurant, ho said that it was tho only ohoap boarding house ho could find. Ho dcolarod he novor intendod to oomo to Charleston again. Sumner has long ourly hair, whioh hangs down on his shoulders, and ho looks like tho modioino man of Doad Man's Guloh. in speaking about his ourly tresses he said ho had a swoethoart in days gono by whom ho lovod intensely, and sho a?kod him to let his hair grow long, and ho granted tier requobt.

They grow out of tho political relations Htabli-hod by tho government itsr If. There have been hin, o tho birth of tho nation and alaays will bo two treat political parties, if ihero w r#? no rial ib-uc? tdey would divido and fight ov r the m ro spoils of tffi 'O. Th ? d ff r enjes originated in tho diverse views entertained when our Oonsiitution was adopted as to what constiiutcd tho pro per functions of the government. Party platforms havo always be n supposed to bo tho exponents of those views. A bloody Civil war tied tho qu stion of State's righis and for a qua ter of a century tho waviug of the "blood shirt" on tho ono eido and tho "nigger iu tho wor d pilo' on tho otiier constituted the dividing linen. I say that ovorv man, on a purely scetional question, liko whito supremacy, is a traitor aiid a renegade who does uo? stand by hia own soolion and his own poodle. I aay that any man, on domestic probloma, probloma of internal oonoern, should, as far a< pondiblo, bow to the bohests of hia party. If ho oannot agreo with his party on questions of this kind, he should, if possi ble, find a party with whioh ho ia in aooord. I assert, fellow oiuzons, that it is almost a orimo for any party to make groat, broad, non-politioal Amorioan measures, involving the politioal and ooinmeroial development of the i nation, the test of party fealty.

I nstoad of a dopleted treasury, thero is in it to day tho largest amount of gold in tho history of the country, aud actually tho Secretary of tho Treasury, a few weeks ago, deposited raonoy in a Spartanburg bank, something that has never boon dono before in tho history of our Stato. I havo boen listoning for somobedy to orv out "Kopublioanism," because L was instrumental in beginning a movement whioh 1 hopo in tho futuro may cnablo our farmers and mcrohants to sceuro monoy at a lowor rate of interest. Auothor groat ohango as tho result of tho panic of 180'd, is tho rapid development of our oxport trado. Cur homo ma<kots failed us, manufacturers found thomsolves with immenso stooks of goods on hand and nobody to buy thorn, this forced them to sock markots abroad, and ono cnteri rising Grm in Birmingham, Ala., shipped 250 ton of iron to fturopo. At. that timo iron oouid bo bought for $6.00 per ton in Birmingham and this small shipment six voars ago was tho beginning of tho 1180,000,000 worth of iron that wo shipped abroad last joar, 800,000 tons going from Alabama. To day, cntiro Europo is alarmod at tho dovolopomont of our commerce, and wo boo overy day indications of a trado oombino on tho part of Muropo against the United Htatos. In tho tinanoial world, instead of do ponding upon Euro po 19 wo did povon yoars ago for our money, England, Gormany and liussia have rooontly had tocoino to Now York to placo their government loans. I havo givon nothing but a mcro outline, and )Ot I ask any man within tho sound of my voico if thoso faots do not prosont a totally ohanged oonditioo. Tho Spanish war suddenly awoke us to tho fact that our country was ono of tho groat oommoroial and politioal powers of tho world. HOW CAN I HE8T SERVE THE INTEREST OF SOUTH CAROLINA?
