Perhaps she was most cordial and
M«dly toward two brothers of the name
of Hayes, who lived in the next villa to
that rented by her father on the banks of

And they?—is it necessary to say they

handsome, but clever and intellectual;
and Athol's senior by some ten years.
Athol on the other hand, was superbly
handsome, and his temper and disposition
of tlie sunniest.
A strong attachment existed between
the brothers, Chetwynd regarding Athol
with an almost paternal love and care,
and Athol looking up to Chetwynd
with well nigh filial respect and confl
dence.
They had watched Irene grow np from
a pert school-girl, who called them Chet
wynd and Athol, into the finished young
lady, who preferred to use the more re
served "Mr."
They rode out wilh her, they took her
on the river, they played croquet with
her in the summerevenings; and billiards
and bagatelle in the winter.
But the time had come when joint com
panionshlp with Irene was no loDger pos
sible—a jealousy of each other crept in
between them.
The young lady had always a laughing
word or merry sally wheiewilh to greet
Athol, while for Chetwynd she had only a
shy smile and blush, and a grave word
Influenced by these signs, he believed
Atliol was Irene's most favored suitor,
and he generously and unselfishly deter
miued to bury his love deeper than ever
in his heart-—to stifle it if necessary, so
that Athol might never discover he had
a rival in his brother; and he further de
tsrmined be would help forward his in
terests by every means in his power,
even if he had a sacrifice more than his
feelings in tbe attempt to secure his hap
piness.
For him there was but one Irene—all
his love was lavished upon her; and hav
ing been once poured forth, it could no
more be regathered than water can after
being spilt on the earth;—he would never
love another.
> IRENE.
BY F. R.
But thought his life might be lonely
and desolate, there was no reason why
Athol's should be, and he vowed to study
Athol's wishes before his own.
At any rate, Athol should speak first,
and then
One day he saw Athol after spending
longer time than usual-over his toilet, go
out quickly, and turn in at their neigh
bor's gate, aud he knew the hour had
come.
He went and threw himself on the
bench under the old oak on the lawn and
battled with his pain.
"How should he bear with his life
when all the hope had gone out of it?"
he asked himselt; and he indulged iu a
long reverie as to ,what he should do
when Athol and Irene were married,—
how he would go abroad for a few years
and when the pain he had felt should
have become dulled by time, how he
would retsrn, aud adapt himself to cir
cumstances.
He had got as far as this, when sud
denly he heard a door closed and, a mo
ment after, rapid footsteps went past him
to the boat-house.
"Athol," he cried, "are you going for a
row?" but no answer came back.
He went after him then, aud came up
oa him sitting moodily, with folded arms
on the boat's edge.
Chetwynd sat down near him, and
waited for the confidence which he knew
would be presently given.
"It is all over. Chetwynd."
"What is Athol?"
"The fool's paradise I've been living
in so long. Irene does not care for me."
Chetwynd's heart bounded. He might
win her yet, he thought, but instantly re
pressing it, laid his hand sympathizingly
on Athol's shoulder.
"Has she refused you. old ftllow?"
"Yes, point blank. Looks upon me as
a brother. As if that were a consolation!"
he muttered, almost sulkily.
"Neversavdie, old man! It is only
»girls -No'; she'll say'Yes'if you ask her
again."
"Not freely. She means what she says
—always."
"Shall I try what my influence can
do?"
What it cost him to say this none ever
knew.

She was in the garden, reading, when

SOME DETAILS OF THE FLORIDA FRAUD
—HOW DEMOCRATIC RETURNS WERE
DEALT WITH.
From the Cour for- Journal.
The total vote of Florida, exclusive of
Baker county, was 24,40(3 votes for the
Hayes electors, and 24,201 votes for the
Tilden electors. The returns from the
four Baker county precincts gave 238 votes
for the Tilden electors, and 143 for the
Hayes electors. Add this result, which
appeared on the face of the returns from
Baber, to the vote of the rest of the State
and the Tilden electors have a majority
of 90. It was to do away with this fact
that Zach Chandler used the telegraph
vigorously last November, and was au
thorized by Grant to send "troops and
money" to »teams. The conspirators,by
a fraudulent count and certificate, revers
ed the Baker county returns so as to
show a majority of 40 votes for Hayes in
the aggréjjhle vote of the State. The in
vestigation of the House committee Into
this nefarious business reveals many in
stances of rascality and daring jobs
crime. For example, Andrew A. Allen,
Sheriff of Baker county, under oath, told
how the precinct returns were dealt with.
Following is a portion of the testimony:
tf—'What did you do then? A.—We
just made the return, throwing away two
precincts in the county.
Q—What two precincts in the county
did you throw away? A.—One was Dar
by ville precinct, aud the other was Johns
ville precinct.
Q-—Which did you throw away first ?
A.—The Jolinsville precinct.
Q.—And then you threw away the
Darbyvllle precinct? A.—Yes, sir.
Q—Did you have any witnesses at all
before you? A.—None at all.
Q.—Did you have any anything before
you except the returns? A-—No, sir.
Q.—Why did you throw away Johns
ville precinct? A.—We believed that
there was some intimidation there—that
there was one party prevented from vot
BO
of
ing.
Q—Did you have any evidence tothat
effect? A.—No, sir; there was only his
statement.
Q.—Did you not have a particle of evi
dence before you? A.—No, sir.
Q.—You believed that one party had
been intimidated and prevented from vot
ing?, A.—Yes sir.
Q_And therefore you threw out the
Jolinsville precinct? A.—Yes sir.
Q.—Was there any other reason for
Q—No other reason was suggested but
that was there? A.—No, sir.
Q,—You next threw out the Darbyville
precinct?. A.—-Yes sir.
q— p or what reason did you do so?
A.—We believed that there was some il
, . , . them
le ? al v< ï 8 ~. l , Dere '
If-—Did you have any evidence befare
yon at ail? A.—Nor sir,
Q.—Not a particle? A No sir.
Q.—But you had an impression that
some illegal votes were cast there. A.-—
y es s j r .
_ You had no nroof at all" A _Vn
w- * on nau no proof at all. A—No
sn -
Q.—How many illegal votes did you
have au impression weie cast there? A.—
About seven, I think, as well As lean
recollect. !,*/ V,, A, r . v.;'™,
Q—Therefore you threw «ut the pre
cinct without any evidence at all? A.—
Yes air. . ffCÜI .'C sl'>'iti\C
Q —Then yon made up the return*?
A—Yes sir,
Q—Who wrote those returfi*i > A. -1
did.
Q.—You wrote them yourself? A.—

We had not.

Q.—Name the seven men who yon

not.
Q. -Did the Judge give their najhés,
or did be just tell you that there were
seven there that he thought had no right
to vote ?
A.—He then told me that there were
seven there that had no right tb vote.
Q—Do you know when Green was ap

not. He was a

Q —Do you know that he was not

—No, sir.
Q.—Did you have anything to do
with procuring his appointment? A.
—Not a thing; he was appointed be
fore I knew it.
,Q.—The first time you ever knew
him to be a Justice of the Peace was
when you got him on the 13th to

U the first knowledge I had of his be

THE ARMY IN POLITICS.
The closing hours of the Fortj
f.urth Congress will pass into history
as memorable for the vindication of
the right of thé people's Representa
tives to held the purse strings of the
nation, and in the exercise of that
tight to check Executive encroach
ments. After a prolonged and anirry
struggle over the Presidential question,
which had seemingly divided the
Democratic party during the laat days
of the contest into two wings, they
wert reunited in an instant and weld
ed together in a solid mass when this
great principle was assailed.
Tbe Army bill repotted by the com
mittee of the House contained two
leading elemental First, a reduction
of the force from twenty-five thou
sand to seventeen thousand men; and
secondly, a prohibition against the
President using any pan of the
money or the troops thus granted, in
talning illegal governments in
Sopth Carolina aad Louisiana- Twenty
; rears ago the Republicans, then a ma
; ority in tho House, tacked on a simi
lar condition to the Army bill,making
it applicable to Kansas.
When free speech and free immigra
tion into that Territory were to be de
fended, the Republicans of that day,
in tbe freshness of their youth and in
their fidelity to the principle which
called that party into existence, de
manded that a Democratic President
should not use the army to aid or abet
in the extensiou of slavery. They
were right then. Now, when it is
proposed to curb the Executive and to
defend the rights of the States against
oppression, to protect liberty aud to
put dawn tyranny and fraud, some of
the same men and the same party
frown corrupt, and loose, and deiner
ized, turn around and renounce the
very principle which gave them the
only cairn to popular confidence and
support.
