SPOILED,
Tho suli-coiinnitleo, cotisislinfr of
JIcMrs. Scott, Stuvoiisou, ami Van
Trump, appointed to itivesUsalo tho al
IckciI outrages la South Carolina, re
turned to Wellington city on Saturday
last, and Iminedlately after a state
ment was published, on tho authority
of tho radical mcmbeirt, though with
out their signatures, which waa buuso
intently telegraphed over tho country
by tho associated press.
THE ItAUKJAI. STATESIENT FALSE.
Wo aro authorized by Jutlgo Van
Trump to pronounco that publication
untruo in mnny essential particulars,
anil a j ervcrsion of facts in others, evi
dently colored, with tho purpose of pro
duclng a partisan and f.tlso impression .
Tho teatimony shows that thcro aro
four counties, viz: LaurctH, Chester,
York and Spartanburg, where acts of
violenco havo been committed on both
sides. Tho whiles ami blacks aro nearly
equally divided iu population, and tho
carpetbag rulo by which tho negro Is
forcibly put over tho whito man lias
produced a bail mid even a dangerous
stnto of fielltig.
ATTEMPT TO DEtiP.AUE THE WHITE
LAllOli.
The poor whltos aro most aggrieved
at an oppression which is intended to
niako them the Inferior of recent slaves,
steeped in ignoranco and vice. Every
thing h.ts been tlono to nggravato tho
laboiing whiles und to outrago tho so
clal cdinlltlon of their families. On tho
very eve of tho last election, (lovernor
ScMt rirpunlzott fourteen negro regi
ments, mid armed them with 7,100
Wluclit'titcr rltlcs and 100,(100 rounds of
fixed ammunition.
Tlieso lTglmenta wero distributed In
illll'erent parts of the State and cspee
ially whero their prcenco would bo
moil likely to o.xclto bad blood. This
proceeding was rendered moro oil'onsivo
by tlit) f.ut that tho whites, who had
become alarmed, woro refined tho hitmo
privilege to protect themselves. A
conip.my which had been lit exlstonco
long bi'lorothls time, was disarmed nml
dlsbaiiikd by tho governor. It Is In
proof befnro this commltleo that no
groes dl.-gulscd as Kti-KIux committed
many ouiragos. Tho testimony given
by the negroes was of tlio lowest kind
and utterly unworthy of bellof.
NEUItOI-S PAID AND DItlLLED TO TES

WHITE MAN linUTAM.Y Mt'linEItEI)
11Y NEOKOES.
Soon after n poor drayman named
Stevens, with ono arm, who was uni
versally regarded as a worthy and am-
Inula man, was driving nlong tho road
with a barrel of whisky In his cart. Ho
was stopped by this band of rtifllans
and tho whisky demanded. Ho told
them It was not his property, but gavo
them Ha.sk of his own and started.
After going a short dlslnnco tho no-
groes fired nt his cart ond Btruck It In
sovcral places. A man who had joined
Stevens on tho road lied for his life, and
ho himself seeing tho armed negroes In
pursuit, abandoned tho cart and took
rofugo in a neighboring cabin. Ho was
followed by tho wretches, nnd against
tho efforts of the colored woman, whoso
humble shelter ho had sought, aud his
own, ho was taken out,
After drawing lots flvo of tho gang
took him Into tho woods and riddled
his body with balls, Tho perpetrators
of tho outrago woro nrrostcd nml put Iu
the Chester Jail, but beforo being secur
ed they killed lhodpputyshorllf,Hmlth,
who served tho process. Suddenly a
negro ctmo from Columbia with what
purported to bo a writ of hultcas corpus
from tho radical Judge, Thomas, at Co
Iiimbln, but attested In no proper form,
Tho shcrllT called Into council tho
leading lawyers, in order to determine
what courso ho should pursuo In regard
to this informal and Irregular requisi
tion, which boro no ovldenco of genu
ineness, and cainoin an envelope of tho
Adams express company. Mcantimo
the news spread nnd n vigilanco com
mittee roused Into indignation, know
ing how Governor Scott had pardoned
tho worst criminals by hundreds, de
termined lo administer stern justice
themselves by making an example, to
check this outlawry. Thoy took tho
prisoners out of Jail by forco and exo
etited them summarily. Onu of them
was released by tho declaration of a
whlto man, that ho was believed to bo
Innocent of tho atrocious crimo of which
tho others wero guilty. Whllo thUt act of
vengeanco Is deprecated, tlio extraordi
nary provocation, and tho alarm creat
ed by tho armed blacks, as well as their
violence, must be considered in connec
tion with it.
A THIEI' AS A WITNESS.
Tho other statements might bo ex
posed with equal effect, but this illus
tration is sulllclcnt for tho present pur
pose. Ono or tho prlnclplo witnesses,
named Owen, on cross-examination,
admitted himself to bo a thief.
THE SCALAWAG 11ALLOT-110X STUlTEIt
Congressman Wallace, who was elect
ed ilrst by tlio houto of representatives
and then by stuffed ballots, in a district
with 5,000 democratic majority, follow
ed tho committee everywhere, and was
ono of the activo managers lu getting
up testimony. Tho afralr in which ho
figured at Spartanburg, and which was
telegraphed nil over tho country n3 n
gross outrago, exhibits tho purposo to
magnify aud oxaggcrato for political
effect. Ho was seated next to Jlr. Stev
enson, of tho committee, at tho hotel
table, when a man named IJerry, who
formerly had n feud with Wallace, en
tered In a stato of intoxication.
Discovering his old enemy, ho seized
a pitcher of milk and threw it nt him,
whereupon Wallaco drew a rovolvcr
and would havo fired but for tho Inter
vention of thoso present. Tills was tho
extent of that outrage, and llerry, when
sobered, sought to mako every atotio-
mcnt, as tho citizens did who wero In
jured by his rccklcs3 conduct.
NOT POLITICS HUT COP.KUPTION AJS'I)
llOllllEItV THE CAUSE OF TUOUI1LE.
Thcro Is no political feeling of any
kind In tho unfortiinato disturbances
which havo occurred Iu theso few coun
ties of South Carolina.
They result from inal-ailminlstratlon,
corruption, robbery, c.irpot-bnggiiig,
and especially among tho poor laboring
white men, front a wicked purposo on
tho part of tho authorities and tho leg-
slaturo lo assort black Mipromacy and
degrade them with negro rule. That
is with them perhaps iho real and most
serious dlfllculty. It is u question of
race, nml which, as tlio government of
South Carolina is now administered,
and as sustained by federal power,
threatens tho gravest consequences.
Tho whlto mechanic and laborer, when
ho finds tho worct criminal protected
and pardoned, tho lawancnglno of per
secution, political power abused, in or
der lo oppress him with negro domina
tion ami to outrago his wife and chil
dren, will resist, bo tho sacrlflco what
It may. Ho may bo uneducated and

How tlio Fool Trlckcil the lllglmnvmaii.
Novcr heard oflledmond O'llanlan,
tho Irish highway robber? Well, that's
surprising. Tho Kngllsh Turplns and
French Duvals couldn't hold ft candle
to tho Irish highwayman. But for nil
his shrowdness ho met his match once,
nnd I'll tell you how It was.
llcdmond was a lino, strapping, gen
tlemanly fellow, and n dovoted admirer
of tho ladies as whero Is the Irishman
that Is not'.'-nnd what Is moro, n friend
to tho poor, as you'll ndlnlt when I tell
you that his demands for cash were
only made of thoso persons who could
afford to moot them, and ho delighted
In forcing contributions from thoso who
had tho names of being hard landlords
to their tenants. Thcro was ono of
this class whom Itedmond novcr lost
an opportunity of taxing for that was
tho polite nnmo ho gavo to his own rob
beries. Every quarter day, this gen
tleman or ono of his servants somo
times moro than ono used to mako a
Journey of six or seven miles to call for
his rents j and as regular as clock work,
thcro was llcdmond O'llanlan, with
somo stout companions, if necessary, to
waylay tho collector ns ho returned
home. Every means was used to cludo
him, but to no purposes ho had spies
everywhere, and tried to get tho exact
information ho wanted In advance. So
one miarler tiny when tlio gentleman's
servants asked htm about going for tho
rents, ho sworo at O'llanlan, and said
ho did not sco tho uso of collecting
money lo hand over to him
Now this gentleman had on his esiaio
a boy called " Jerry tlio Fool " who
had tho run of tho houses, ana mauo
fun for tho family. IIo had a great
conceit of himself, nnd when ho heard
what tho master said, ho immediately
asked to bo allowed to go after tho rents
for once, ho dcclated that ho would
know tho way to bring them safo homo
Of courso lie was only laughed at : but
when ho represented that no harm
could come from trying, as ho couldn't
do worse than nil thoso who had gono
before hlra, tho master agreed to humor
him. Upon that, Jerry mado somo
preparations as were necessary, choso
tho worst horso in tho stahlo an old
hack, half blind, nnd three quarters
lame and slarted on his enterprise
Nothing occurred on tho way. IIo col
lectcd a considerable amount of money
carefully disposed of It about his per
son, and started homewards. Towards
evening, as ho was quietly jogging
along on tho old hack, and was just en
tcrlng a long Iano with high hedges on
each side, a tall, flno-looklng man rodo
un to him on a handsomo roan mare.
" Ood savc you, ray man 1" says the
gentleman
" God save your honor I" replied Jer
ry,
" What's your name, my man?" says
tho gentleman.
" Jerry tho Fool, and I'm not asham
ed of It. What's yours?"
Tho gentleman took no notlco of this
question. After a whllo ho says :
" That's a flno nnlmal you'ro riding,
Jerry."
"Faith, nnd I'm glad your honor
likes it," says Jerry ; " but it Isn't my
self that'd caro to tako n lcaso of his
life. Hut he'll servomy term any way,
for its not iu much of a hurry I am
traveling I'vo only been to tho village
beyond to collect tho master's rents for
him."
"Surely ho is not such a fool ns to
trust you with thatjobl"
" Arrah, why not?" asked Jerry.
" Why, don't yon. know that Ited
mond O'llnnlan's on tho road !"
" llcdmond O'llanlan Is It," says
Jerry. "Ugh! That for Hedmond
O'llanlatt !" nays ho snapping ills fin
gers. "Puis, Jerry tho Fool is amatch
for a dozen of tho likes of him any day
In tho week, and Sunday iu tlio bar
gain." Tlio stranger laughed and they rodo
on in sllcnco till they eamo to a very
lonely part of tlio road, when ho drow
a braco of pistols and told Jerry to hand
over nil tho money ho had about him,
or ho'd try If ho had brains by sending
a couplo of bullets through his head.
" Jleala-murther," roared Jerry, In n
lono of surpilso nnd fright. "ou
don't mean to say that your honor Is
I
'.odtnond 0'Huulnn?
I do Indeed. So hand o,-cr my
man, and look sharp about it
" But falx, Its kilt Intircly by tho
master I'll bo if I go homo without tho
rents."
" What's that to mo? asked O'Han
an.
" Anyhow," hays Jerry. "I must
show them that I had a murdering
light for It. Perhaps your honor
wouldn't mind tiring a shot through
inv old beaver." O'Hnnlan did bo
laughing at tho trick.
" And now another through tho
breast of my coat, aud Heaven bless
you.'' Tins was uouo. "isow jusiono
iu tho skirt of It aud good luck to your
honor."
" But I'vo discharged both of my pis
tols, nnd don't want tho trouble of
loading them again for you."
Falx I should dearly llko n shot
through tho skirts ; It would show that
I fought desperato. Aro yon suro your
honor hasn't nnother pistol In you
pocket that you wouldn't mind firing
for n poor boy's sako?,'
"Confound HI To bo suro I am.
Hand over your money, or I'll beat you
to a Jelly with my horso-ft hlp."
" Well." says Jerry, after a good ileal
of fumbling. " I suppose, considering
tho trouble I'vo had lu collecting these
rluts, your honor won't mlud going
over tho hedgo uftcr them.'
And ho thuw over a sack apparently
well filled with coin. Half laughing,
half angry, iho highwayman Hret aim
lug n blow at Jerry with his whip,
which ho avoided by ducking dls
mounted, and climbed over tho hedgo
anil no sooner hnd ho tlono so,
Jerry slipped off tho old hack,
than
aud
mounted O'llanlan s horso.
" Had scran to you llcdmond O'llan
lan I" ho bawled. "Didn't I tell you
Jorry the Fool was a match for a dozen
i of you? It's a sack of brass buttons
,n you'vo gono over tho hedgo after,

What l'coplo Kc.kI.
Among thirty thousanu volumes In'
the Mcrcantllo Library nt St. Louts,
there nre, It Is said, seventeen thousand
which aro novcr called for by anybody.
This Is pretty well for the St. Louis Li
brary, for It Indicates that moro than
one-half of tho books, soveutocn thous
and to wit, aro of somo posltlvo value.
In other words, only thirteen thousand
nro "popular" works. 'TIs true, 'tla
pity, and pity 'lis 'tis true, that as tho
nverago human being perversely desires
for his bodily food such substances as
with least nourlihmont provoko most
excltmcnt of tho palate ; so in his men
tal diet lie Is prono to desiro "sensa
tion " rather than improvement or
mental growth nnd health. If essays
and homilies upon this subject would
produco reform, tho rending world
would havo been reformed long ago.
As In many other attempted Improve
ments nnd reformations, no small dam
ngo to tho causo thoy ndvocnto has boon
done by Injudicious writers and leclur
ers, clerical nnd lay. All fiction, nil
works of Imagination, everything but
hard facts, have been objected to, until
the careless listener or render comes to
supposo that useful reading includes
only thnt which is dry and dull. Con
sequently young peoplo delight In llctl
tlous reading, as If it wero n luxury of
sin ; nnd tho zest of disobedience is
added to the other pleasures of iletion.
Ono causo of tho nbsoluto trashlncss
of too many books is found in the fact
that their authors know nothing. Thcro
aro works of imagination, nnd tho
roadcr will recall mnny of them, which
stimulate inquiry into tho history both
of literature and events; and which,
whllo they confound an Ignorant reader
with his Ignoranco, cxclto ouo who
knows something to desiro to know
more. When to tho undcrstnadlng of
of what you read general knowlcdgo Is
necessary, or when to follow a fictitious
author you mii3t Investigate facts, no
small good may arlso from his works as
a part of education. But a writer .who
knows nothing can stato nothing aud
can suggest nothing. Uis themes and
Incidents are divided between tho common-place
and tho unnaturrl ; and
readers of as limited knowledge us him
self can follow and enjoy him. Except
iu tho negativo benefit that ono who
reads nonsense is better employed than
If ho wero doing worse, very llttlo good
Is realized by tho readers who thumb
tho less useful half of a public library
to pieces, whllo tho standard works nro
loft clean nnd unsullied by finer marks.
In youth, whllo tho mind is fresh and
uuoecuplcd, It Is comparatively oasy.to
glvo a good direction to tho mental
powers. Boys and girls llko facts, un
less they aro put beforo them in rcpul
sivo ways. They ask, "is It truo?"
When tho leading points of history aro
presented to them in nn animated ond
pleasant style, thoy find moro satisfac
tion In such reading than njaded novol
reader can in tho freshest romance.
Tho young nro also usually fond of
travols and adventures. With n foun
dation of actual knowlcdgo laid in, in
youth, readers discriminate for them
selves, and intuitively between such
works of Imagination as aro worth
reading and such as nro not. A slinllow
protender to ntithorship is intuitively
detected, nnd summarily tossed aside.
If young peoplo aro Induced led, not
forced to begin their reading aright,
tlio chances aro largely In their favor
that their critical knowlcdgo will mnko
them pretty good judges afterward.

Duties Toward Clillilrcn.
It can novcr bo too strongly Impress.
cd upon tho mind that nothing releases
n parent from his duties toward n child.
No waywardness, no disobedience, no
rebellion, no profligacy, can Justify a
father In casting a son or n daughter
adrift. Wo hoar of sons being cut off
without a shilling, of daughters being
forbidden tlielr father's houso, nnd
withoutany exception, such cases nro
proof that, of whatever tho children
may havo been guilty, tho fathor is even
moro guilty. No person can commit
so great a crimo ns a father commits
who Is thus falso lo tho trust which ho
himself has imposed who thus thrusts
off from himself tho soul which ho call
ed Into being. A father should bo gov
erned by no motlvo but his child's best
Interests, which can novcr bo served by
anything but tho father's loving and
constant caro. If a child Is Is so bad
that his influence is feared upon tho
other children, n separation bqtween
them may bo effected. If it is feared
that money bestowed on him will bo
for his injury, provision may bo mado
against thnt, ns In tho caso I havo men
tioned, But when a father in u fit of
anger, or as a roward for ill-doing, dis
inherits his child, ho commits a crimo
which tho laws, indeed, do not rccog-
nlzo, but whoso guilt It would tuke
many a legal crlmo to outweigh. Thoro
should bo absolutely no limit to paren
tal forgiveness nnd forbearance. Seven
times, and soventy times seven, should
tho father rcceivo tho pro-ilgal son who
seeks his face; nnd .If ho novcr seeks it
If ho goes, stubborn and rebellious
not ono atom of fatherly caro or Inter
est should ho relax ; for tho child Is his
child, his offspring, born of his will,,
and no voice of violenco can release tho'
man from his solemn obligation toguard
and guide, so far as possible, tho life
;
