CITY PRINTING.
We understand that the City Coun
cil at its meeting on Monday night last
was kind enough to vote the city
printing to the Sumter Republican.
We take this occasion of returning
thanks to that body, for the compli
ment. As we promised to fill out our
part of the obligation if it was awarded
to this office, we hereby renew the
promise and hope the relations between
us for 1883, will be pleasant and con
fidential. Hoping no appalling catas
trophe by fire, flood, famine or pestilence
may dissolve theb onds of contract now
existing, we remain yours for 1883.
A Proclamation.
In another column will be found the
proclamation of Gov. Stephens, re
sponsive to a communication to him
from the New England manufactures
office, inviting the State ol Georgia,
through its executive, to make an ex
hibit of its agricultural, and other pro
ducts and resources, at the third annual
fair of the Institute, which will be open
ed the firt week in September, 1883.
The same offer has been made to all the
Governors of the several States, South
and West, who may desire settlers from
the North. This opportunity, affords
occasion to show what inducements
in field, garden, climate and manu
factores each possesses, so that emi
grants may be able to choose advisably.
For tbe purposes indicated, Governor
Stephens has appointed Hon. .1. I.
Henderson, Commissioner of agricul
ture, to take charge of all correspon
dence, and specimens of agricultural,
mineral, or manufactured goods, aris
ing from this invitation. All citizens
are invited who have specimens to take
due notice, and govern their acts ac
cordingly.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Augusta Evening Acres writes: ‘‘Some*
time ago an advertisement appeared in
one of onr daily papers stating that
on receipt of 50c a book no new mar
ried couple should be without, would
he sent carefully sealed so as to escape
observation, and that all communica
tions would be strictly confidential,
etc. Some of the town boys bit, and
sent in their half dollars and in return
got copies of the New Testament. (Re

Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, in an
interview, says that he does not believe
that either Mr. Carlisle or himself can
defeat Mr. Randall tor the speakership
ot the forty-eighth congress, and for this
reason he is willing to withdraw as a
candidate if Mr. Carlisle will, and centre
on Mr. Morrisson, of Illinois, whom he
thinks is the only man that can defeat
Randall; or if this is refused he is will
ing to leave it to a vote of the Kentucky
delegation whether Mr. Carlisle or him
self shall withdraw.
The Senate should speedily pass the
bill introduced by Mr. Ingalls and re
lieve their minds of the dreadful night
mare of a government without a Presi
dent. It provides that the inability of
the President shall be ascertained by
statements in writing by two heads of
departments to the Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court, who shall, within
ten days thereafter, determine summar
ily the question and certify the same to
the Vice-President, or other person en
titled to the succession.
The public debt was reduced over
$15,000,000 in December. When we
take in consideration the heavy drafts
upon the treasury during the month, it
would be an easy matter to cancel the
war debt before tho commencement of
the next century, and yet make gener
ous appropriations for public improve
ments. We are a growing people, and
all that makes a nation is at our com
mand, and it is our own fault unless it
is used to make us advance to the front
as the greatest among the nations of
the earth.
It is stated that Senator Pendleton,
of Ohio, is one of the most extravagant
liveiß in the country, keeping up three
magnificent establishments at an ex
pense of over SIOO,OOO per year
With all his high,, living, however, he
is a true reformer, an able debator, and
consistent Democrat. His means came
independent of official influence, and he
is recognized among the most honest,
upright and deserving of Senators. It
is not wealth in itself that corrupts and
serves to make men arrogant, domineer
ing and aggressive, it is the manner in
which they Use such means.
Southern Cultivator for January
The January number of this stand
ard Agricultural publication is on our
table. It is, perhaps ahead of any oth
er number in general interest. In its
pages are treated all matters pertaining
to the success, comfort and happiness
of the farmer. The publishers are do
ing what nearly all the proprietors of
Southern publications have failed to
do, namely: employing the host writers
in the South to contribute to its col
umns. And they are thus making the
most entertaining Agricultural journal
ever furnished the Southern people.
The January number has the usual
able contributions from Dr. Jones—his
“Thoughts for the Month” and the en
tertaining “Inquiry Department;” arti
cles on Preparing Cotton for Market,
Crop Lien Law, Railroads and Right
of Way, Farm Tenants, Intensive
Farming, Jute in the South, The Sugar
Cane Question, Stock and Dary De
partment, Bill Arp’s Inimitable Letter,
four full pages of Correspondence
directly from the Farmers, Biographical
Sketches and Portraits of Senator Bar
row and Maj. Campbell Wallace, a full
Discussion of Fish Culture, and the
Patrons of Husbandry Department.
The enumerated articles are only a
small portion ot the contents. It is a
paper well worth the price, $1.50 per
year, or ten copies one year for SIO.OO.
Address Jas. P. Harrison & Cos., At
lanta, Ga.
Judge Briggs decision declaring that
a person who did not believe in the ex
istence ot a God, or if he did, had no
idea that He would inflict future pun
ishment for false swearing, was not
qualified to testify as a witness in court,
has attracted much attention in the
press, and is calling out considerable
comment. We believe, using the lan
guage of a contemporary, that a truth
ful man will tell the truth anyhow,
oath or no oath. A liar will tell the
truth when the truth serves his purpose,
oath or no oath. He will lie under
oath, as every lawyer and judge is
aware, if lying suits his purpose. Per
jury is as common as rumor, and it is
one of the most difficult things to bring
home to the man. Trials for perjury
are common enough. Convictions are
not common. When the law was
changed so as to permit parties to tes
tify in their own behalf, the first blow
at judicial oaths was struck. The
only reason why this privilege was not
enjoyed before was that it was sup
posed to invite perjury. In extending
it to parties in court, the law substan
tially says that whether a witness lies
or tells the truth is a matter for the
jury to determine. And so it is. No
witness ever perjured himself that,
judge and lawyers and experienced jury
men did not know it. To prevaricate
is to lie. To suppress the truth is to
lie. To dodge a dangerous admission
is to lie. All these things are done
every day in our courts, and everybody
knows that they are done.
“Tall oaks from little acorns grow;
large streams from little fountains
flow,” runs the couplet. An interest
ing case to illustrate its applicability
occurred recently in Atlanta, Georgia,
where four young boys started a few
years ago selling newspapers. They
made ten cents apiece the first morning
they went to work, and for two winters
thereafter they went, half clad, through
the snow and sleet in the freezing
dawn, on their morning rounds. From
the very first they saved a certain per
centage of their earnings, which they
invested in Atlanta real estate. The
oldest of them is now eighteen years
of age and the youngest twelve. They
have supported an invalid father and
their mother all the time and now have
property worth considerably over $5,-
000, houses from which the rent is S2O
a month, and S2OO stock in a building
and loan association. They have edu
cated themselves the meanwhile, re
maining from school this year in order
to work the harder and build a home
for their parents.
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, has pro
posed an amendment to the constitu
tion of the United States touching
Presidential elections. It extends the
Presidential term to six years, makes
the President ineligible to succeed him
self, and abolishes the Electoral Col
lege, allows the people to vote directly
for the President and Vice President,
each to have as many votes as at pres
ent, to be divided in exact proportion
to the popular vote cast for each candi
date. We approve of all these changes
except lengthening the Presidential
term. No man ought to be permitted
to fill the office of chief magistrate of
this country longer than four years.

Tlic Fire Fiend’s Work—Another
Hotel Horror Barely Averted.
Narrow Escape of the Planters’ Ho
tel in St. Louis —Two Servants
Dead add Two Otoers Injured —A
Theatre Burned in Russian Poland
—Three Hundred Lives Reported
Lost.
St. Louis, Jan. 14.—The Planters’
Hotel, one of the largest in the city,
took fire this morning shortly before 5
o’clock, and burned so rapidly that
four persons lost their lives.
The greatest profusion prevailed
when the alarm was given, and nearly
all the guests escaped in their night
clothes. The weather was intensely
cold, and tbe firemen were thereby
greatly hindered in their work. It is
thought there were not more than four
victims. Three bodies have been taken
out. The fire, at 10 35 o’clock, was
under control. The loss on the hotel
will not exceed $30,000.
The fire broke out shortly after 4 a.
m. in the kitchen of the hotel and ex
tended to the pantry, storeroom and
several rooms of the servants’ quarters.
These were in the building in the rear
and detached from the hotel, which was.
not injured. One servant was suffo
cated, one burned, and two others have
broken limbs. Great excitement pre
vailed among the occupants of the ho
tel, most of whom left the house, but
returned during tbe day.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 14.—During
the performance yesterday at a circus
in Bedischoff, in Russian Poland, a fire
broke out in the building, and before
the spectators could escape, the whole
structure was ablaze. Three hundred
persons perished in the flames.
Polk at Nashville.
Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 13.—Ex-
Treasurer Polk arrived this morning
in charge of officers, and is now in cus
tody. Until he shall bo admitted to
bail he refuses to be interviewed. The
grand jnry of Davidson county at noon
presented an indictment against Polk
in two counts for embezzlement and
larceny of $480,000. The Judge of
the Criminal Court is charged with
the duty of fixing the charge of conspi
racy upon certain parties in obtaining
funds from Polk, knowing it to be the
funds of the State.
Counsel of ex-Treasurcr Polk will,
on Monday, make application before
Judge Quarles, of the Criminal Court,
for the release of the prisoner on bail.
Meantime the prisoner is held at the
county jail, but occupies comfortable
quarters in the jailor’s office.

Suicide of a Young Lady—Miss
Jodie Gilliou’s Death.
The Calhoun County Courier gives
tho following particulars ot the suicide
of the above young lady:
The citizens ot this community and
acquaintances of the young lady whose
name heads this article, were much
shocked and grieved on Saturday morn
ing last, at the announcement of her
strange and sudden death, the only as
signable cause of which was supposed
to have been from the fatal effects of an
overdose of morphine, supposed to have
been taken with suicidal intent.
On last Friday night Mrs. Jarvis
was aroused from sleep by the strug
gles of her neice, Miss Jodie, with
whom she was sleeping, and made sev
eral efforts to awake her, when her lath
er, hearing the calling, went in the
room occupied by the two ladies and
called to his daughter, who then raised
up in bed and said: “Papa, I was feel
ing badly at supper.” There being no
light in the room, be went to the fire
place to make a light. Miss Gillion
then laid back on her pillow, when her
father again attempted to arouse her
and raised her in a sitting posture, but
she again sought her pillow and- died
about two o’clock. The words ad
dressed to her father were the last she
ever spoke.
Miss Gillion was a handsome young
lady of twenty; the only daughter of a
fond father, with sufficient means to af
ford her all the comforts and pleasures
of life, and her mysterious death is a
source ot great wonderment and sur
prise to her acquaintances, by all of
whom she was much beloved and ad
mired.

Burried Alive—A Hunter’s Cabin
Crushed by an Avalanche, and
His Wife and Two Children
Perish in the ruins.
The Johnstown Tribune gives the
following account of the terrible fate of
a hunter’s family, hut the location of
the scene of the awful affair is rathar
indefinite, which, were it known, would
bo of material interest as a matter of
local news: “Yesterday,” says the
Tribune, “our telegraphic columns con
tained a brief account of a land-slide at
the foot of the mountain in Westmore
land county, by which a cabin was
covered with earth and stones and a
woman and her two children were hur
ried alive. The accident cccurred on
Thursday. Tbe victims were tbe wife
and cliildien of Thomas Johnson. Mr.
Johnson, who is a hunter, was absent
from home. Returning in the evening,
be was surprised to see a mass of snow,
stones, earth, and timber occupying the
place where his cabin had stood. Un
able to remove the debris himself with
out gieat loss of time, be burried off to
the nearest settlement and procured as
sistance. Four or five strong men
worked with a will until nearly mid
night before the roof of tbe cabin came
in sight. It tvas partly crushed, and
the single room was half full of earth
and stones. These were hastily re
moved. In One corner crouched the
wife and two cliildien. All of them
were dead. A large stone had struck
one of the children on tbe head, crush
ing the skull. The others had appar
ently suffocated, as no serious bruises
were found on them. The family re
moved trom Virginia to Westmoreland
county about three years ago.”
