Scarborough house was a tall, gaunt stono mansion, with a certain massivo statcliness which impressed outsiders with its eolcum grandeur. It needed not the stone griuins eonchant on its broad steps to tell you that som? great family resided there, even if you were not subdued by the dignified bearing of the hali-porter, or the splendid livor/ and gigantic proportions of tho foot men, who lounged in its broad door way with a perpetual sneer on their red faces for all who were not of blus blooded descent. Por tho most part the interior was, if anything, more depressing yet aristo cratic than its outside, for the rooms were so spacious that they resembled more halls of assembly ?han the snug apartments of an English homo But there was one room, which tVu3 an exception?a pretty, dainty apart ment, furnished with exquisite taste in the most charming1 modern style, Thi3 was my lady's boudoir, devoted espe cially to the mistress of the establish ment, and never entered under any pre text by any member of the family without especial invitation. Here one morning sat its fair owner, a handsome, high-bred woman of forty, still in moraing costume, though the afternoon was waning. There was a flush of expectancy on her delicate face and a nervousness in her manner which said, as plain as words, that her ladyship was iil-at-ease, a mood which her maid, who wat in attendance, evi dent ly looked upon with no very agrcc ble sentiments, for Lady Scarborough had a way of venting- her discontent on her dependents, "Are you, suro, Annette, that you told the groom of the chambers to an nounce Mr. Colburn as soon as ho called?" "Quite sure, my lady." ",A nd it is nearly four, and ho is not here." "Just struck four, my lady, by the clock of the Horse-guards. I think, per haps?" "Do not trouble to think. It is a bad habit for a servant to havo opinions, and disgusting to hear her express the h?." j "I am sure, my lady, I?" "Will you held your longue. An* nette? Tour chattering makes my head ache," The girl's lips parted, but no sound came from them. She stood with clasped hands, mate and motionless, as much a slave as a Saxon hand-maiden, \ who wore a brazen collar round her neck with her owner's name on it in the days of the Heptarchy. "Now you are looking sulky ,girl, and I will?" But what she would do to the unfor tunate maid, the world never knew, for at that moment the groom of the cham bers announced the attorney^ arrival. The frown cleared from the lady's brow os the dapper little lawyer bowed himself into the room, but there was a tone of reproach in her" toie? as she bade him be seated. ?You are late, sir," riha sa?d, te quiet reproof. "For which accept cry apology,* be replied, airily, not &t all in tho regret ful respect that a family lawyer usual ly displays to a distinguished client . The lady noticed this, and her hot blood dyed her cheek. "It seems to :.-," she said, "that jour manner has changed of late. You forget, sir, what you owe to me. Had gr* IkZM > Vv, % k 1 Iff? Mm lady BCABBOI??UOa ANO TUR lawyer, it sot hvcn for rr>e, remember you would now be, as you wcro f,vr years, the servant, not the head of tho tirio you represent." "Quite true, my lady, but ? think 1 hove given a quvl jrro quo for your pat ronage, and delightful as it would be to my vanity to suppose that you were simply instigated in your kind .servire:; to reword inorit, I cannot but think that you have cnl?ed upon me to re deem my obligations. It was perhaps for your own interests as Well ns mine that you used your influence to pro c Dtc my fortunes Your strict are a little ungrateful when you consider what I niD now a -rng iti >ur beh ?'f." '?n my behalfl Yor. made h .? il enough bargain to protect yourst If und salve your wounded honor. I say your manner has been unbearable since? since?since we have boon?" "Accomplices! Exactly, my lady. You cannot play with the tire without, the danger of burning youf fingers." "Weil, a truce to this levity. sent for you to discuss a most important mat ter. Lord Scarborough suspects that there is something wrong: and. if no discovers the plot I am engaged in, ? shall die with" shame. Yet, heat-en knows it is not for my own aggrandize ment, but for him* and the children that I allowed you to allure me into this mad project" "I know that his lordship has not the enterprising" spirit which you enjoy, and might feel that there was some slight stain on his escutcheon if he only knew the extent of your ladyship's di plomacy} but ue for saying- that I in duced you to exploit the schemes I in dignantly? " "Pshaw! Ycra would deny anything. I say that you first brought me news of my brother's illness, and pointed out how easy it would be to promulgate the statement of his death before he had defrauded his family of their inherit ance. Did 1 not advance yon a thousand pounds to send this man, Archer, out to hide him away tfll death, which yon told ine was certain and immediate, should relieve us o? the danger?** **Yon did, malady, and X think that you will acknowledge that the thousand pounds wee well invested.0 "Yes, that I acknowledge* but yon have deceived mo concerning Harry Grnhame's illness; and, if he recovers and returns to England, wo are dis graced and ruined," "You forget that Sir Harry Grahamo is dead, my lady.H "Dead!" "Well, if not in the Spirit, Ifi the body ?as dead to all the world as though he lay in Iiis ancestral tomb." "But there is such a thing as a resur rection, Mr. Colburn; how are you go ing to keep the lid of this apocryphal tomb over him, if he regains his health?" ,lBy the simplest process in the world, by main force.** "But ho is not a man to submit to forco. He who could break through the barriers of an Indian temple would laugh to scorn your petty bondage." "You are unnecessarily alarming yourself, my lady. The Sir Harry of j to-day is not the Sir Harry of twenty j years ago. This illness, which I believe you piously hinted at in our last inter view is- an especial dispensation of Providence to prevent him from perpe trating a base injustice, has left him a wreck, and, even if he should recover his animal strength, he will be a help less imbecile to tho end of his days." "It is terrible," the woman said, for the moment conscience-stricken. "But not more terrible than if he had returned to England," the lawyer spe ciously pleaded, "where he would be immured in a private madhouse. There he enjoys, thanks to your ladyship's liberality, a home on the banks of a no ble river, in one of the loveliest conn tries in the world." "And the climate?" "Well, not very salubrious to Euro peans, I am afraid, but in his condition life has no pleasures, no hopes, no tics." "And he has every comfort Mr. Col bara?" "Ue is treated with infinite kindness." ,4 ': ! well, perhaps it is all for the best. Now, if we can only allay Lord Scarborough's suspicions, all may go well yet. You have relieved me of con siderable anxiety." "Lord Scarborough is not a very wise man," the solicitor said, didactically, "and I do not think it will be difficult to throw dust in his eyes. The only thing that remains is to be true to each other and have mutual confidence, for I am certain that the secret is known only to you and me and Frank Archer. Rest assured of that, my lady. True, I forgot for a moment Aaron Gore, the man servant, but you know as wclll as I do that his tongue is tied. It would take an especial dispensation of Provi dence to disconcert my plans, which I flatter myself are arranged with no mean skill; so do not tremble at shad ows, my lady." CHAPTER XI as uxpleasaxt . Tho midsummer vacation ended at ia-st and the young ladies were gathered together oneo more under Miss Balder stone's wing to pursue their studies and dream dreams of speedy emancipation when the regime of the school room should be exchanged for the delights of the drawing room. There are more pupils come back than the house can conveniently hold, yet Miss Balder stone's heart is sad, for she is in sore vexation of spirit. As if that confes sion of her favorite Kate Granarne, that she has allowed a wandering Yan kee, probably some penniless adven turer, to steal her heart woe not enough worry for one morning Siile. Cam pignon, tho beet, sedatesi, mosVrcli able French governess who ever en tered her establishment, must deeHnc to resn??e her duties and had absolutely left the fcot?fse with the avowed inten tion of a?.-andoxilng the profession. She had told Kate Grahame that she was a little goose to put any faith in her American admirer and blamed her for m k ing such a promiscuous ac quaintance- "As for his story about going to India, my dear, that is all balderdash. lie will turn up some day and say be has been there, trusting to your being overwhelmed with grati tude," she had paid to the weeping girl. "Just us if any sane person would go of? to tho end of the earth on such a wild-goose chase, when lie could have taire;; a sixpenny 'bus to Mr. Colburn's ofilee 'ind satisfied himself that Sir Harry Graham;? was as dead as Julius (" ar. Besides, where was this Yankee hero-of hers.to get funds for such an exr> : s?ve journey did she think that bo was Q prince in disguise?" To cil of which very sensible homily the poor girl imd only been able to whimper a loyal faith in Lor young man, who was good and honorable b<> Cause -T.vel?, because he was good and honorable, and the two ladies hud parted with sentiments of mutual dis trust. It. was then n*. tho very moment that Miss Balderstone's usually placid -! ? po sition was rufiled by these twin vexa tions that Mr. Colburn, the attorney, presented himself, and if that astntegen tleman had picked hifr opportunities be could" not. h aye found a time when she would bave ?hx-ti more predisposed to lend an ear to his suggestions. "I have brought yon my Canadian friend's reply to rny letter concerning Mi^s Grahame," he said, handing the schoolmistress a note written in a lady's hand on heavy paper with a de lightfully ugly crest hi the ?ihape of a myth tea* animal's head embossed upon it. "You see, I did not. mortgage my assurances of her satisfaction with any err?nge tent I might ma; >s deeper than I co ?id rede< ta them." "It :a a charming letter," Miss Balder stom said, giving it to him aftersh? had t>crused i4-, "but I candidly confess that I do not li:<e tho idea of her going so far away." The lawyer's jaw dropped. "Now, really, Miss Baldcrsfone," ho Interposed, "I hope you are not going to break the engagement, for my friend Mrs. Llewellyn has been so pa- j tient in w ritmg?" 1 "That vou think it would be wrone to disappoint her. Well, I think so, too; therefore you can write and teli your friend that Miss Grahafne shall sail from Liverpool in two* weeks'' time," "Sav next Tuesday week?the Morar Ian sails on that day, and the captain is a friend of mine and would look after her,*" Mr. Colburn suggested, with nerv ous eagerness. "Well, so It; the time is short for preparations, but she shall be ready." KA thousand thanks. Miss Balder* stone. Ycu have taken a weight off my mind," tbc attorney simpered, us he rose to go. Then, as if moved by an after thought, he added: "I suppose you have had no recurrence of your little delusion concerning Sir Harry Grahame's death? Pardon my asking, but ladies, when they have made up their minds to a thint "?re so difficult to convince that ? thougut?" "That I was as obstinate as tho resi of my sex," Miss Balderstone replied, with a pleaeant laugh. "Well, yon art wrong for 00004 ? am quite convinced, but?7' "But?" ' "Oh, I wae only going to say that Kate is still skeptical?in fact, sl>e has had a little romance, which it would be a breach of confidence to tell you about. Merely a small love affair, with the heroic youth bursting to display his affection by a trip to India to set her doubts at rest." Mr. Colbum's face was naturally scarlet, the glowing red that healthy exercise or fine old crusted port pro duces, but the familiar hues faded away to a sickly yellow ochre tint which did duty for paleness in a less florid com plexion. "A youth?a lover?gone to IndiaT he stammered. Miss Baldcrstono noticed his con fusion. "Yes," she said, suspiciously. *The news seems to discompose you, Mr. Colburn." "And well it may," hecried,rccovcring his equanimity with a supremo effort "Think of the scandal of such a pro ceeding. Poor Ix)rd Scarborough, who really is the meekest, most sensitive man in the world, will be fearfully dis tressed when he learns of this. I know you dislike tho ladies of the family, Miss Balderstone, but the gentlemen have never slighted yon. It is an old name and ought not to be dragged in the mud. I implore you, if you can give me any information in this matter, to bury your personal antipathies and come to my relief." lie struck the right key. Miss Bal derst one's prevailing weakness was a belief in the peerage?a consciousness that it was improper, if cot sinfuL to stain the reputation of a family whose coat of arms was emblazoned in the pages of Burke's Peerage. "If I thought," she hesitated, "that any information I could give would pre vent a disagreeable scandal?" "You would forget your animosities and speak out," Mr. Coiburn anxiously interrupted. "Just what I should havo expected of you. Now, please, what is the name pf this Quixotic wooer, who would rival the mad knight of Cervantes in his mischievous absurdities?" "He is an American," Miss Balder stone began. "An American!" the gentleman echoed, lugubriously. He had a pious horror of Americans as antagonists in courts of law. l?e had had more than one tusse) with them, and realized the unpleasant persistence with which they refused to know when they were beaten. "And his name?" he asked, with all the composure he could assume. "Arthur Dunbar," Miss Balderstone* said, end immediately added: "But I only look upon his promise to go to India as a piece of silly bravad?, Mr. Colbaro--not worth your attention.** Mr. Colburn did not seem to entertah? this pleasant assurance. "Do you know where he is staying?" he asked. "I do not But if you desire to ques tion Kiite about it, much as I dislike to let lier know that I have spoken to you about what she told me in confidence, I will send for her." Miss Balderstone was not one to spare herself, when she once put her hand to the plow. "It pains me to beg the favor, but if you would permit me to say a few words to your pupil I should be infinite ly obliged." The moment Kate reached the* room she read in their faces the assurance that her secret wae no longer in the 6ole possession of her friend, and a little flush of defiance ?Ved her cheek before eitiier of them had 6poke a word. "My dear, pray be seated," Mr. CoV burn said, gently, paternal benovoTonce literally beaming in his countenance. "Our mutual friend, Miss Balderstone, has fonivi it necessary?purely in your interest, you understand?to refer to your frieud, Mr. Arthur Dunbor. Jt is necessary that I communicate with this gentleman r:t once?not in the remotest manner concerning your acquaintance wfth him?and I venture to ask you for his address." Miss Balderstone was supremely un- 1 comfortable. Intensely truthful her self, she writhed in the spirit at being made a party to any equivocation, and ^ the lawyer's speech was, to say the | least of it, not exactly candid. Kate took time to rep;y. With the j 1 acute percept^ >n of love, she saw tha? ; I some undefined trouble threatened Ar- ? ; thur ?m'nbar. j : "Mr. Dunbnr gave me an address in j .

Sik: In jour paper giving the account of the meeting in Columbia on the 4th inst , I find the following ref ereacc to myself by Governor Tiilruan, and I beg you to allow me space enough in your columns to show how absolutely false are the statements made by this man, who never hesitates to resort to falsehoods when speaking of political opponeuts, or to promote his own selfish personal ends. 1 shall take his state ments in the order they were made, and I shall convict him of falsehood in re gard to the first out of hie own mouth "At Aiken twoycars ago I said Hamp ton ought to be in the United States Senate forever, and that I was willing for him to stay there.1" * * * "At Aiken he refused to ride in the carriage with me," and yet, after my having doue so, he that day, in his speech, made the declaration as to my remaining in the Senate! Yet he now gives that as one reason why he subse quently opposed my re-election. Now, as tc the facts in reference to my refusal to ride to tho meeting in the carriage with him : I was the guest of one of the members of the executive committee, who had invited me to ride with him, and his invitation had been accepted, as I courteously informed Mr. Tillman when he asked mc to drive with him ; and, besides this, I Lave yet to learn that the new regime now prevail ing in South Carolina forbids a gentle man to choose his own associates or companions. The Governor proceeds to say, "But he had no bnsiness to interfere in 'his family quarrel.'* It seems to me that every patriotic citizen of our ?tate was called on to deplore and to deprecare any quarrel amongst brethren whose only hope for the welfare of the State depends on concert of action and unity of feeling. But, waiving this question, I rssert, without fear of contradiction, that at tho meeting in Columbia not one sentence, not one word, in the re marks I there ruado warrants the asser tion that I took part in the unhappy family quarrel" which has brought such disaster on the State. I came at the request of my oid constituents of Rich'snd to plead for -peace and harmony. I expressed no Drefcr ence for any candidate, no disapproval of any, and I appeal to the report of my speech on that occasion, as publish ed, to substantiate my assertion and lo prcvo the fai.sity of the charge made by Governor Tilimaa. "lie compared Tilltr.aa and his friends to Mahonc/' is the nextcouut in the indictment made against me by the Governor. I did nothing of the sort. I warned our people, as I tbecght my long servioe in their behalf justified me in doipg, of the dangers of division and dissension in our ranks, and I illus trated my warning by calling attention to the terrible consciences which had hefsilen Virginia by the: quarrel in the Pemocraiic ranks, brought abo tit by the unscrupulous eiKidnct of M aliene. ?3o much tor that charge of the Governor, which, like so rnany of his on other occasions, proves to be utterly false.

Orangeburg Campaign Meet ing Broken Up by Disorder. Special to Augusta Chronicle. Orangkburg, S. C, July 5.?The pu s- o' th * South Carolina bidy politic iudicates high fever. There is no doubt about this now. There is no doubt that there is interest in the political cam paign at this stage. The people are aroused all over the state. The first f >ur or five meetings, .as shown in these reports, were sliinly attended and lack ing in interest. The last five meetings, however, that is since Kingstree, have beheld large concourses of people. The Kingstree meeting and its incident j stirred both factions in every portion of the state. The news of the hot debate there, of the words spoken, of tbe insinuations cast, and of the episode be tween Gov. Tiilman and Col. Youmans went over the state like wild fire. Both factions now appear in large num bers at all meetings, which in turn are changed from dull formality to intense interest, with sensation, surprise and excitement. Subsequent meetings since Kingstree have added their fuel and both factions seem now to be fired with a feeling of resentment. The crowd come to the meetings with a desi;e to show numbers and to lend moral support to their candidates. They seem disinclined to listen to argument for arguments sake. Thf y listen mw as a general rule only in order to intelligently cheer their own side, and to jeer the other. Perhaps not a vote has been changed either way at the last three meetings, including today's. There is a great deal of bowl ing down being done. Both factions are refusing to hear the other side. The meeting today at this place jumped the track pretty soon after it started a':d was adjourned by the chair , man, it being impossible to secure a hearing for any of the speakers after Governor Tiliman. The Governor himself had a very poor showing. Only Gen McLaurin, Col. Murphy and Governor Tiilman spoke. When Gov Sheppard arose to reply to Gov. Tiilman the audience, num bering about 1,000, and three-fourths Tillmanites, did what is called "bowl ing" unremittingly for seventeen minutes, during which Gov. Sheppard stood in silence except for abcut a dozen Words difSribate? io three or four at I tempted beginnings. At the end of this i time tbe chairman adjourned tbe meet ing, being beyond control and tbe ! speaking ended. This makes t?re . Orangeburg meeting a farce or failure. , The following are the speakers who were to speak but were shut out : Far- ( ley, administration ; Sbepard, Orr, : ?liott and Humbert, conservative. It was useless to cootioue the meeting, neither faction would let the cmdidate of the other speak. Boih sides were determined, and the leaders and public men of the county present could not infiueiice either side an iota. The < meeting was composed of a splendid 11 body of men. Orangeburg mec'ingsj:< have always been distinguishably quiet 1 and orderly heretofore. So there in a ? dc-.d rat in a hole. The entire troa-ble ,< arises out of the Tiilman-Youmans i episode at Kingstree, June 16. t After tbft attempted meeting, and !j late in the afternoon Geo. Farley spoke ( from the piazza of the Orangeburg hotel, i He was followed by ex-congressman ! | Samuel Dibble, tbe manager of the I Conservative campaign of the State, m Although Orangeburg is the home of i t Mr. Dibble, he was howled down, sod ' retired after a ?fteen minutes es<ay to be heard. The Tillmanites cried for [ McLauriu. The Conservative element, |i however, declared that he should not.:.? speak and began to howl, so that s MeLaurin did noe attempt to speak. j : So the day went It is tho opinion ? ; here tonight, expressed on both sides, ? I that most if not ail meetings will result ? ? PS tho Orangeburg meeting did today, ? ? if this be true, then there is an cad to t free speech in South Carolina during 3 these meetings of the present campaign ; ' series. The outcome of such tactics, if pursued by both sides, is interesting speculation. Gen. Farley said in his < hotel speech that tho Conservatives t < had had their innings in howling down in C rumbia yesrerday, and the .admin istration had theirs to-day There was J howling done on both sides rn Columbia, i( Two of the administration speakers, ;; however, were not heard there on |s account of ??re lateness of the hoar, (* which the administration claims was on [ 1 account of a speech against time by [ * Col. Youmans. However, Col. You- j 'l ?nans was howled from beginning to j( end of his Columbia speech. Congressman Dibble came in for a j great deal of censure from the Tiilman j j fa ci today. He was jeered and cried at by them at every turn. There were [ many curses in the crowd for him, and ? threats ?rose constastly like these?M ' Put Sam Dibble off the stand."' |j Damn Sam nibble. The humorous sitio came in when Gen.- Farley hhened M Mr. Dibble to? J; "i>e F>ibblc, ' Wirt Iiis wooded spade'n'nd shovel. Diggin' ap de grouiV wi lue big to^ flail."

Pitiful Pita.. The joint debates now in progress irf this State occupy from five to sis boors, and no cran ctfn stand the strain, day after day, durin? this but weather, if sitting theo through. In fact, it bar always been the cest?n* fur a candidate to deliver his speech and answer 'iris op ponefit for office, and them quit the ros^ trom while the ?ftrer aspirants are lay ing their d*?mfc before the voter*. The argument* ars but a repetition- of* what has been already said and answer' ed, and it is proposed for each candi date to "tote his own skillet.*' Governor Ti 11 man is opposed by John) C. Sheppard, who is presumed to have the requisite ability and coerage to de* fend hie own canse, without the inter* veotion of oatside aid. But it scema1 that Sheppard was lacking in intellect tual ability, and called on Colonel Orr, a candidate for LicuteoaDt-Govemcr, tor help him out. Governor Til Iman met both antagonists, and after a* few* rounds sent Orr back to his office iff Greenville, and bad Sheppard pleading a sore throat as an excase for not speak* ing. It was then that Lawrence mans, a subordinate candidate on the' ring ticket, was trotted into the arena, to try his hand at silencing this cham pion of the people. Yoomans wa* tacked on to the tail end of the discus sion, and because the Governor did no! see proper to remain broiling on the stand fr;r six long .hours, to hear an old tirade of abase repeated that he bad answered twice before, the opposition organs charge brra with cowardice. Now, if there is any cowardice man?* fested in the campaign it comes .rom the ring-rule candidates, ali el whota* are jumping on one mat), to the neg?ec? of their own claims. If John C. Shep* pard has not the capacity and the back bone to face R. THfa?v oar tife rof* trum, why does not his backers taier him down and substitute You mans ad their candidate for Governor ? if they will do so we'll guarantee that Tillman won't leave the stand until the concia* sion of his speech, and will soon rendei "the Al?endale Pet'* hon du combat, as he has already done their two lead" ing candidates. No sensible man ex pects Governor Tillman to remain on the stand all day long, while the othef candidates are resting themselves from the fatigue of a km g campaign ?* 3 ~ lamb?a Hegister.
