BY MARY HKKD CROVEI.I,
Mr. Cyrus Symington, of Symington &
Ilumblctbwalte, jewelers and dealers In
fh.e watches illamonds and precious
stones, wns in an exceptionally bad hu
mor. despite the beauty of tlie day thai
gave, more than fair promise of a good
share ot custom.
Mr. Symington walked up and down the
store an Immense, elegant place, with
rows of plate glass on bronze pedestal,
and shelf atterfcf laden with bijous of
st:Uurtr.y-iMf bronzes a short, portly man.

"IJoyoo know anything lout " S-itit

lie asked, grtilHy. ot one ot ij.mt noil's
tellow-vtei ks.
I ilon't know sir. He was nil right
when he went home on Ssitiird:iy."
Mr. Symington cast an annihilating
frown on the jnting man.
1 urn not aware that I asked for any
oot-4de Information," he si id harshly.
SAutwood" condition on Saturday is ot
no consequence to me. I w ant to know
.where lie is thl morning."
He went fuming along to his private
office," where the head IxKik-keepel was
Waiting tor him.
'Santwood is sick this morning, sir.
and will not be. here ; but lias sent his
cousin to take hi place, with your per
inission. Mis Edith Santwood, U out
side Utse to see you."
Mr. Symington looked at Ids hook keeper
with a frown of surprise.
"Mhs Edith Santwood ! Miss! What
the deuce does he menu sending a woman
here to do his work ?"
He glared at the unoffending man as
tluMJgh he had lieen guilty of high treason
"Caul say, sir." carelessly. "He cer
Caiuly lias sent the voting lady, and you
will find ht-r wailing to see you out-ide.
That's all I know about it."
AiL a Mr. Thorn was the one man in
Smirgloii Jfc lmnb!ew:iites employ
whom the senior iirtiier never succeeded
in bullying, Mr. Symington went grumb
lingly away, while Mr. Thorn returned to
his book.
The irate old gentleman certainly was
not the most reassuring ot tnortas, as lie
went down tlie aisle toward Edith Sant
wood standing beside the end of a bronze
iUlid pjate-glass "show-case n girl fair as a

almost a fearful apprehension in their

saw lier.
"St' you are Santwood' cousin eh.

Edith bowed, and smiled slightly, show
ing a distracting dimple.

he says. Mammt said I might take Ins
place if you would permit it. Claude has
explained all tlie duties to me. and I am
very sure I fan perform them."
Nolmdy lias e-er known crusty o.'d
Symiiijrton to listen to such a lengthy
answer before ; hut le actually did, only
lm frowned and twisted Ids beard.

gruffly. "Santwood" duties urtt easy

Edith blushed.

And although Claude had, over and over
again, told her how disagreeable Mr.
Symington was, ne vert h less Edith found
herself winking to keep back the mortifi
ed tears that would coine into tier lovely
eye. ' - -- r -
Cut Mr. Symington found that there

; -'-" i''-StK 'T e talks and gracl-
ousness, and rubbed his hands In delightful
business-like jocutar'ty. as he led the way
to his special department over which he
always presided the valuable diamond
rings.
Mr. Roseoe Bellair walked lelsnrelyjj
along atter him a handsome grave-faced
gentleman ot thirty-live, with tawny hair
and moustache, and eyes that were as out
lonkb.ff. and honest, and who'e hearted a
a child's a gentleman whom society had
acknowledged one of its choicest favorites,
by ri.yal right of his high social position.
Ids personal attractions, hs immense
wealth just ruch a man as Mr. Syming
ton delighted to honor.
Mr. Bvllair took a seat beside the casket
ot glittering stones, and ran tliem over
with the eye of a oonnoisenr.
"I want a solitare. Syuingf on something
A ?T. 1 with a crown setting. For a
lady." k
Mr. Svmington smiled ery knowingly.
"All right. If you can't nTt yourself
here, you won't this side of the Atlantic

Mr. Bellair. that I am reserving tor Jut
such order, particularly suited for ladie's
ringi engageme'it rinirs. and the like.
.Iltt let me show them to yon."
' He trotted oil" to the sate a few yards
away, and Mr. Bellair tried on ring after
ring, then leaned back in his chair, anc
took a leisurely look around him, to see
at the nest show-case, tlie very loveliest
eirl lie bad ever seen in his life, showing
silver thimbles to a shy half-groivn miss.
Then Symington came, bustling back,
red In the face, but beaming nil over.
'Here they are, Mr. Bellair perfect
beauties, that will make a lady's eyes
shine to look at. What do you think of
that, sir!"
Mr. Bellair thought enough to select a
magnificent stone, and the style of sett
itig. "And what size ?" Mr. Symington
wanted to know, suavely.
Bellair lauglied.
"Upon my word I don't know bow we'll
manage it. The ring Is to be a surprise.
I think lle young lady over yonder wears
about the same size as the lady who will
wear the ring.
He indicated Edith, still showing the
silver thimbles.
'Very good !" Mr. Symington said,
"Bmin. relieve Miss Santwood. MUs
Santwood thi way a moment. Just let
me see your hand hold It up."
And almost before Kdi'h knew what slie
was wanted for. she found herself inside
the little sacred pi-iee of diamonds, with
Roscoe Belhiii's haud-oine blue eyes look
ing at her fair face, and Mr. Symington
fitting a ring on her tapering forefinger.
"I supjmse that's the finger, mi" he
said knowingly.
Be!Jir laughed.
"Go ahead. Symington ; I hope you
won't be far out ol tlia way. Yes, that's
a perfect fit, anil very handsome,' lie
said, as. in bis courteous, grave way. be
looked at the lair, aristocratic hand, with
its slender fingers, pink nails, ami dimpl
ed wii-t.
"That will do," Mr. Symington said, as
he removed 'lie costly ring from Edith's
hand, --you may go back."
As she passed with her eyes bent down
Mr. Bellair spoke to her. in a tone that
made her lift them suddenly, (lathing all
their glory full upon him.
"Allow me to thank yon vert- much."
A faint, gratified little tltl-li a little
smile, that just stutgpsred the w hite teeth
and the hewlu-ldiig dimple tlien slie
passed out, and bak to the silver ihimhle
buyer, with a strange fluttering of the
heart that she bad never cxrieiiced be
fore, ami an impression left upon her of
ihe handsomest face, the kindliest eve she
ever bid se:-n in her quiet home life a
sensation and an impression that were
M.rongly upon her. when, as she stood
putt i::g on her gloves as she whs about to
go home in the evening. Mr. Symington
stepped up to her. w ith a curious look on
his tn-e, jlsar sent her vaguely delicious
seiipaflons Instantly adrilt.
"Where Is tin? clu-t. r Hi in.oiid ring you
stole from the tray while you were in my
department to-day."
Slie looked at him as if she considered
him suddenly bereft ot bis senses.
"The ring I Ftole I from you ?"
".Inst so. f f you'll band It over I'll say
nothing about it. only ymi needn't come
back to-morrow- Your best plicy Js to
admit tlie theft and give it up."
The color began to wane in her faoe
until she was ghastly pale.
-Mr. Symington, yon don't mean that
f stole a diamond ring ?"
Her yo:ce was indescribably horror,
stricken and pathetic.
"I certainly mean exactly that. And I
don't propose to wuste many more words
about it. Just step inside the private
office, and unless yon at once give it up I
will have you searched."
She drew herself up haqghtily at that.
'Sir, yon insult me ! I have not taken
your diamond ring. Your accusation Is
as croel as It is unfounded."
Iler dark eyes flashed with proud con.
sciousness of right, but her lovely face was
awfully pale, and her lips quivered with
womanly shame ai.d pain.
Air. Symington sneered.
'Oh. well, il yon 're going Into hysterics.
go ahead ! Thorn, telegraph for a police
man and a woman from the station. We'll
Search tlie youug thief."
Aery came from Edith's lips at the
horrible, horrible word.
'Qh, don't say such a tldng of me of
sua ' Why I must be dreaming I It most
lie some awful nightmare I am suffering J
They accuse me me. mother's little
Edith of stealing a diamond ring?"
Andjiift as she fell in a nieYciful swoon
on the office floor, Mr. Bellair game walk
ing through the store into the private
oflice.
'Look here, Symington the result of
an attack of ahseiise of mind ! I aetiially
wore offoue ol your cluster Why whar's
the matter ?"
For as he walked into the room, bilk
ing and laughingly removing a magnificent
cluster-ring from his finger the ring for
which Edith Santwood lay white and
deathless like a perfect statue of ivory he
saw her on the sofa, where Mr. Thorn had
laid her.
A livi 1 sort of paleness spread over Mr.
Symington's fue and he uttered a little
unintelligible exclamation that Beltair
instantly correctly translated.
'Good gracious ! you don't tell me you
suspected her? I hurried back with the
ring I so unconscious- carried off. but i
didn't think I should come to see this.
It is an outrage, Symington, couldn't

Edith's ronivl white wrNf.
flow did I know ? She's a frf,nger ."
That is no excuse ; I wouldn't, have
believed It of yon. Miss Edith ;" and he
liowed almost reverent!' as she opened
her wondering eye, -you are feeling
lietter I think ? My eairiage is at t"e
door. Yon will allow me to take you
home 9 My name is Eoseoe Bellair."
She rose, almost staggeringly, a wild
horror coming back to her eyes as she re
tneinl'cred. "He thinks I took the ring. Oh, fell
him I am not a thief ! Yon liclieve me
don't you. sir ?'
Bellair sent Symington an indignant
glance.
"I certainly would imp'ieitly believe
your word, even if I did not have ampH
evidences of the truth of it. I nm the
sinner. Miss Edith. I wore the ring
away. Inadvertently, and have just return
ed it."
And Edith sank down upon the sofa,
crying siu'h blin l. relieving tears, that, it
ever Mr. Symington fell uncomfortable in
his life, it was then.
Six months afterward Edith Santwood
showed a lovely cluster-diamond ring to
her gentle little' mother, with her dark eyes
full ot happy tears, her lovely cheeks
flushing like a wild rose.
'Roscoe Insited upon having the identical
ring, mamma that !s, the same stones
reset to fit me. lie says "hot hing is too
good for our engagement ting. Oh.
mamma, I am so happy !"
And. although it was a terrible experi
ence, yet Roscoe Bellair's bethrothed never
regretted the episode of tlm diamond
ring.

The election next month will hand over
the nibiiiiii-tration Mii'l IcgUlai ion of the
X.iti'iii to the iH'mooratie part', or will
continue it in the h:mlsof the Republican.
Let ns try to understand just what this
means, mid what would come ot the one
result, or of the other.
The Republican party is in power in the
Federal Admini-tration, the Democratic
in the Federal Legislature. A Republican
President lias been an ob-tacle in the way
of carrying out the Democratic schemes of
legislation and repeal, in some things at
least, and the general policy of the Govern
ment, under the laws, is that which has
been fixed by the Republican party in
twenty years of rule. What has that pol
icy been ? It won't take long to state it.
First The suppression of the great, re
bellion. Second The, establishment of the consti
tutional doctrine that the Nation is inde
structible, and that no State has the right
to secede when dissatisfied with the Nation
al laws.
Third The abolition of slavery.
Fourth The Riving the r-gh't to vote to
the treedmen, and their protection in their
civil i ights.
Filth The recognition or the sacredness
ol the National obligation in regard to the
National debt.
Sisth A total and final refusal to recog
nize Southern war claims of whatever
form.
Seventh The resumption of specie pay
ments. I believe we may say that in all these
things the policy of the Republican party
has been 'triumphant and that what has
been done can not be undone. A great
historical period in the process of the
Nation and of man had : been brought
nearly if not quite to its close, and' the
results are beyond the reach of counter
revolution. To quite finish the last
measure which I have named, the resmui
lion of specie payments, we have yet to
drop the legal tender quality of our Treas
ury notes j but that is only a question of
a little time, for it is logically included in
the sleps already taken in our National
finance. The expiring struggles of the
would be Greenback party demonstrate
by their feebleness that the practical sense
of the people has divided the question and
Is so well pleased with the existing pros
perity which Is based on solid values, that
no efforts to disturb It by unsetting the
currency will be tolerated. , , ,
The leaders ot the Democracy seem to
make haste to meet ua here, and say they
admit that these things are settled, and
that It is because they are settled that , the
work ot the Republican party Is done and
it should yield power and place to its op
ponent. Not quite so fast, if you please !
The doing a great work well U commonly
thought a reason lor trusting a political
organization with a continuing lease of
power, not lor turning it out. The sym
pathy with the progress of tha age and of
humanity which could carry a great or
ganization throng1! so terrible a striijigle
as that ot the final acts ot the anti-slavery
movement, even at the terrible cost of life
and treasure, i.rgties that the body of men
who did it are capable of understanding
their era. j
We may at least look to find among
them the intelligence and the spirit to do
wh it else the times and the country! may
need. On the other hand, the lack ot;syin
patliv with human progress, and the: utter
blindness to the judgment, of all Christen
dom which could make it possible that an
other great organisation, in free and en
lightened Stn'es. should attempt to bolster
up and maintain human slavery at the cost
of rebellion, of war, ot gigantic and long
enduring public debt, refusing to recognize
the linger of Got or of late, predicting suc
cess for the wrong when it. was in the act
of collapsing, and looking on with the
gloomy faces of mourners when the right
was at last victorious, whatever else it may
ai-eue. does nof argue the capacity to com
prehend tiieir tin or to guide its policy.

The Memphis (Tenn.) Appe.nl of Septem
ber 17 call the Northern people "cant
ing hypocrites" whose "impudence" is
sublime.
The unsophisticated Boston Transcript
is astonished to find that prominent
"gentlemen" from the South who ; have
lately visited that city, so far from deny
ing the use of tissue ballots to defraud
Southern Republicans of their rights, de
fend and applaud such outrages.
The (Mncinnali Commercial believes that
it will le their own fault it the Republicans
of Indiana allow the colonists from Ken
tuck' to vote in October and beat them
out of a victory. They have been abuu
dantls' warned ot the movement across the
river and the distribution ot the Hessians
at points where their votes will do the
most good.
The New York Times says s What
would become ot national election laws
and of the statutes Intended to execute
the guaranty ot the Fourteenth Amend
ment that no State Ehall "deprive any
person of life, liberty or property without
ilne process ot law," or "deny to any per
son within its jurisdiction the equal pro
tection of the laws," if the Supreme Court
were contrplied by the party which longht
against the adoption of the amendment
and has been trying to prevent its enforce
ment ever since ?
Says the Boston Advertiser : All who
lived through the war know how danger
ous the Circle worked. The Tammany
naturalization frauds of 18G8 show what
lawless societies are capable of doing in
the North to stiffle the true voice of the peo
ple. Still later, the conspiracy In the
Council of Governor Garcelon in Maine
shows that no immorality in political
dealing shocks the desperate appetite for
power. The ouly safety is in Meepless
vigilance. The oppositon will be no more
scrupulous about means of dividing the
North. - -
The Democrats take each fresh epistle
from Hancock with worse grimaces of
disgust. These letters are full of assurances
that the party, though bad. will be under
his perfect control. It is singular that this
point should need so much Iteration- .
It is positively.' asserted that the
"methods" which have heretofore made
the South solid for the Democrats, and
which are to be repealed in November,
will be resisted to the bitter cud in
Florida, North Carolina and West
Virginia. In Florida especially, where
the Republicans have a majority of
from 10,000 to 15,000, it. is believed
that the Republicans will be assisted by
the better class of Democrats to Itieuro
a fair count on the part of the State
election board Wouldn't it be fanny
to have a hole dug io the eolid South ?
Ii3i porta u l Facta,
There is no disguising the fact that
the "eolid South'? is the Democratic
party, and this being the case the poli
cies of the South will be tbe policies of
the Democratic party. That the Dem
ocratic party has not changed . in any
imKitaiit particular in ihe last 20 years
is pruven by the ntterances ot the jour
nals and speakers of the "solid South."
Wliat are these titteiaiices ? There is
no dihguise down South ; orators and
journals all agree there, and tliey an-
nounce in no unmistakable language
that "the principles ot the Democratic
party are the same that Lee and Jack
son fought for .during, the four years of
the rebellion." -Jfon have the declara
tion of Wade Hampton, great leader
in ti:e "soiKi. r-iouui," inat the same
pnnciples that actuated the rebel Gen
erals during the rebellion actuate,: the
Democracy now. The declaration has
been made time and again, m Congress
and out of Congress, that the Demo,
cratic party (the "solid St.uth") pro.
posed to continue the fight until all the
Constitutional amendments, and a'l
laws enacted for their enforcement, by
the Republican party are r pealed
Tlie Democratic parly, led, managed
and controlled by the 'solid South,"
propose to "rule or min.'' The bitter
i'ale engendered by the war, instead of
being healed by time and the kindness
exhibited by the North to so bitter a
foe, in pouring out money and supplies
when the South was so deeply afflicted
and lay helpless with disease, seems on
ly to have increased and made more in
tense that feeling ot hatted to theMYan
kees," the "mudsills of tlie North."
Running over with chagrin because ot
their failure to "count their roll ot slaves
on I5ut:ker Hill" as they had so arro
gantly boasted, with ai increasing hate
tor the Nirlh that prevented such a
consummation, would it be reasonable to
expect a righteous, equitable and hon
est adrninistrat'on ot this Government
at their hands ? Is it in the bounds of
reason to expect a "tqnare deal" from
such a source ? Is it possible for hu
man tiattiic, after years of waiting and
watching and scheming, and imbruing
its hands in human gore, and false
swearing, ballot-box stuffing, and the
commitment of crim?s innumerable, to
obtain tlie desired end control of the
Government for the oft declared and
reiterated ourpose ot wreaking its dire
revenge for bei:;g defeated in its pur.
pose ot destroying the Govornrwent
we ask, is it possible for human nature
to forego that purpose of revenge when
the opportunity so long and anxiously
looked for arrives ? If the Democratic
partj' the solid South should through
the election of Hancock, gain possession
ot the Executive and Legislative branch
es ot the Government, would she not
carry out her purpose ot securing the
Judicial, by increasing the membership
of the Supreme Court ? and then, hav
ing full and complete control of the
Government, would there lie any hesi
tancy iu carrying through every "re
form" 60 long threatened ? From the
record of the Democratic party ot the
past, can ar.y man believe that it will
forego any portion of its long sought
revenge ? No never. The election
of Hancock would be but the signal tor
heaping every indignity that human
ingenuity could contrive upon those
who aided assisted in . putting down
armed rebellion. .
. IJow long would the miuhty North
put up with such indignities ? And it
ihe North once more proceeded I o com
pel the observance ot the violated Con
stitution and laws, where would the
conflict end?

Northern States to "disabuse the can.

This plan lias already beei 'partisUfyl

to have wi.iked well.- Colonel Martin,
of Mississippi, an ex-Confederate officer,',
stumped Vermont for the Democrats
