Thb RicvjiKßf Faavds.—During the
last moAth thi United States District
Attorney in New York instituted no less
than seventy five suits against distillers
of whiskey. Forty four of these have
terminated in favor of the Government.
Very few of these actions are defended.
It was so cold in Louisville the other
day that an Irish woman, washing at a
wash tub, bad? the _gnftn»fits frozen ip
her hands, and three lines ot “Rory

and eosts ; and an individual who had
violated the l -Ordinance of June Ist,
1866, about “not having nothing to do ’’
was fitted tJO. or sentenced to work 30
days on the streets.
Dirt Eating.—The Georgia Citizen
says that most of the papers of Georgia
and the Soath that went in so strongly
for the Philadelphia Convention last
summer, are now condemning the prac
tice of “Dirt Eating" with much zeal
and unction. Having had their political
digestion impaired by the practice, they
arc the proper ones to give advice
against its continuance.
Writing Machine.—We learn from,
the Greenville (Ala.) Kew.i that Mr.
Pratt, of that place, has obtained a
patent for an improved Pterotype, or
Machine for Writing with Type. The
A'cics says “the invention of Mr. Pratt,
which it has been our good fortune to
see in operation, is one of the most
wonderful and satisfactory of.the age,
and destined to effect a perfect revolu
tion iu thq art of writing.
A Radical Sensation at Home.—
The Radical press ot the North are just
now being much exercised at a recent
decision in Philadelphia, made by Jus*
tice Thompson, deciding in favor of the
right ot the street railroad companies of
th if, City, i>t4 ‘exclude persons of color
from their cars. The suit was brought
against the company by a negro for

Steam Plow. —They have anew ag
ricultural sensation in New Orleans in
the shape of one of the steam plows of
MeUsra. Fowler A Cos., Leeds, England,
which has just been received by Long
street, Owen A Cos. It is used success
fully iu England and in Egypt, and it is
said that the Arabs and Bedouins in the
valley of the Nile are preparing their
lands for the next crop with them. They
are believed to be perfectly adapted to
the lands of the Mississippi Valley and
the prairie country.
Gicx. Grant ami Neouo Suffrage.
—The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune reports Gen. Grant
to have said to the Arkansas delegation
when they culled on him, “to go home
and adopt the Constitutional Amend
ment immediately, and after they had
done that, to puss a bill giving suffrage
to ull persons without regard to color.
He has used similar language to others
from the rebel States within the lust six
weeks." •
General Scott’s Advice to the
N ..GROKS. —Ihe Mercury says that Gen.
Scott, the Military Commander of the
State of South Carolina, delivered an
address to the negroes at Ashepoo river
on Tuesday. He spoke for upwards ol
an hour and a halt on the sunject.pl
contracts for labor between the planters
and Ihe negroes, and was listened to
with great attention. In the course of
his remarks, he recommended the ne
grot s to make contracts for-stated wages
instead of for a share in the crop; and
tuld them emphatically that, if they
adopted, the .system of contracting to
work fdr only two dr three days in the
week the result would be that the plan
ters would make no crop and the negro
realize no profit. This, he said, had
been the result of his experience, and it
is hoped that the negroes will be sensible
enough to take his advice. *
Richmond County Superior Cotter.
)—tin Cturt, yesterday, the case of
the State cs. Pearce Stephens (colored),
for murder, was tried. Johu P. C.
Wfiteheod, Eiq., Attorney for
the- State; Hons. A; If. ptephens, Lin
ton Stephens, and TJenj. H. Tiillj for
the defence. Pearce Stephens was one
ol the negroes charged with the murder
of young Anderson Carmichael, in this
comity, Dec. 24th, 1864. The jury
brought in a verdict of not guilty.
The case of the State vs. James
Williams (colored), murder, was also
tried. He is also oue of the parties
charged with the murder of Mr. Car
michael.
The case was ably managed in behalf
of the State, by Attorney Geperal
Whitehead, and by A. 11. Stephens,
H. W. Hilliard, and A. D. Picquet,
Esqs., in the defence, The Judge de
livered his charge to the jury about 8
o’clock, when the jury retired, and up
to a late hour they had not agreed upon
a verdict.
St. Michxel’s Chimes.— All Charles,
tonians will be gratified to learn that
these venerated bells, eight in number,
have been remoulded and were shipped
on the Gladstone, which vessel sailed
from Liverpool on the 23d ult. The
News very happily says that Father
Time, with bis leaden wings, will soon
bring the joyful intelligence that, once
‘.more, our ears . are lobe regaled, and
our senses delighted, by the .joyful peals
that were wont to issue from old St.
Michael’* tower. The bells were sent
to the foundry from whence they were
originally obtained many yeafs ago;
and they will come to us, after their
second birth, fraught with many remem
brances of the.past, but will ring out
boldly and exultinglv of a hopeful fu
ture. St. Michael's chimes and Charles
ton are inseparably connected, and their
resurrection and reconstruction will be
received ns an omen of good,' and with
their sweet sounds again pealing upon
the air, the past will be forgotten, andj
like our more energetic brethren, we
will commence to make a history that
will put Charleston agnin before the
world as the “Queen City of the South.’’
A Fair Proposition. —The Demo
cracy of the capital county in Ohio held
n convention at Uolumbns, n week ngo
last Monday, and among ot.ier resolu
tions, passed the following:
Resolved., That the Democratic State
Convention, to meet on the Bth of Jan
uary, should adopt a resolution request
ing the Legislature to (tTibmit to the
people, at the next annual election, the
question of striking the word “white"
front the Constitution of Ohio, in order
that there may no longer be a doubt us
to how the people of Ohio are affected
on he proposition of negro suffrage, de
claring that we will hereafter, as hereto
fore, always oppose the proposition at
the polls.
This will bring the question of suf
frage to a fair test. Let the chalice
which they tender the South lie pat to
their own lies, and let the opponents of
j;eg{o Suffrage throughout the North
bnog its advocates ty the test.

S. Arsenal, near this City, we received
an invitation to visit that institution
yesterday afternoon, for the purpose (ft
witnessing the trial of the Arsenal
Steam Fire Engine “Niagara,” (so

A Shocking Case of Bsutality.—
A Case eff most fiendish brutality to a
little girl thirteen years old, has just
occurred in Norwich, Conn. A man
aatned Williams, and his housekeeper,
have been put under bonds for $3,000,
to appear for trial, for starving and
brutally whipping the little girl, who
was William’s daughter. He is a spirit
ualist, aud was starving and beating the
child to curb her temper, break her will,
and make her adopt the tree love no
tions of himself and housekeeper, who
claims to be a niece of Hon. Horace
Maun. It is one of the most shameful
and shocking cases on record. The
neighbors were so indignant at the de
velopments that they met to lynch Wil
liams, but the town authorities interfered
and had hiin bound over for trial. Such
cases are, we suppose, liable to occur
everywhere—though we confess that we
have never seen or heard, or even read,
of a ease of such diabolical brutality
toward children, white or black, iu the
South, as this, and the similar case of
Parson Williams, of Pennsylvania, which
occurred a few months, ago. It a brut e
out here happens to lay his hands oh n
little colored individual, save iu the way
of kindness, the bowl is raised that we
are not reconstructed, and need a Bu
reau, and various other restraining in
fluences. If our brethren toward the
rising sun would have an eye, now aud
then, to their own delinquencies they
might, perhaps, grow more charitable
toward our shortcomings.

Relief for the Family of Jes
person Davis. —A writer in the Colum
bus Sun makes an earnest appeal, over
the signature of ''Cec-eola,” in behalf of
the family of Mr. Davis. The following
extract from a private letter, written by
Mrs. Davis to a friend in Texas, is repro
duced : »"•-
By using the strictest economy we'
see our way clear for the next three
months. Beyond ' that ull is (lark.
Having to maintain two households—
my mother ahd children ip Canada, and
my husband and joungqr children heie
(Fortress Monroe)—mny expenses are
necessarily and unavoidably great, in
spite of the rigid etouomy I tftercise.
* * * 'I he. papers assure
the world that my husband is wqll taken
care of; but they go not s.-iy that it is
his own people who keep him from star
ving, as he would, inevitably, if, in his
delicate health,' he had only the food
provided for him by the authorities.
The writer urges the formation of so
cieties, or clubs, in our towns and vil
lages, each member of which shall con
tribute a small sum monthly, to be
quietly forwarded to Mrs. Davis. It is
certainly the duty of the' people for
whom Mr. Davis now suffers, to provide
for the wants of his family. The gener
ous impulses of those w’ho are blessed
with plenty, should suffice to effect this,
without the humiliating exposure of
their wants to the public, or the resort
lo the plan proposed. If public appeals
are necessary, the ladies will, we doubt
not, devise some more agreeable agency
to effect this noble purpose than the for
mation of society. A concert, tableaux,
a hot supper, something that combines
amusement with the holy office of char
ity, would be more pleasing, and we
respectfully suggest, more effective than
the plan proposed.
The Chops of 18fi{i. —The Commis
sioner of Agriculture, in -his monthly
report for December, thus estimates
the crops of the staples named for the
years 1865 and 1886. We give the
statement for what it is worth, con
sidering that to be very little:
1866. 1865.

keep the boards as heretofore.
