Eh § ones! Itcte. y ROB’T S. HOWARD, Editor. JEFFERSON, CRFV (itlD.Vl MOiniYG, Frbnmry 13,1^0. —The whipping post is still ail institution up in Delaware. —Ranks county Is getting exercised over the Senatorial question. —Senator Thurman is still in the Presi dential race, and his friends claim quite a largo following for him. —The '‘lndependent Republicans” it the name of an association lately formed in New York for the avowed purpose of defeating the Grant third term movement. We wish them all jmssihle success. —Georgia itas an old Revolutionary claim before Congress. The amount of it is $35,000, expended for the common defense in 1777. There is but little possibility of the State ever getting it back. —The Kelleyites up in New York are still hostile to Tilden. They say that two delegations will go to the Democratic Nominating Convention from New York, provided Tilden does not. in the meanwhile, announce his determination not to let his name be used as the nominee of the Demo cratic party. —Mr. Cox, M. C. from New York, took occasion during one of the recent debates to criticise M r . Ilorr, of Michigan. The House thereupon gave Mr. Ilorr an opportunity to reply to Mr. Cox. The reply amused them so much that they were not fit for business afterwards, so an adjournment was called. Thus a whole session was thrown away to in iuige in a little pleasantry. All persons who have any regard for will join witli us in saying that the letter of Simmons to Hayes, asking for lis appointment as Supervisor of Census, is anytliing but Deiqpcratie, and breathes a spirit and desire for revenge that is ill bccotning in a man who desires an ofTice of trust amongst the very people whom he lias slandered. Parson Felton should have read that letter himself at least once ere he endorsed it in such sugar coating terms. Ilowover, he says that lie lias an explanation to make upon the subject, and we shall withhold our condemnation so as to give him a fair showing, and hear his reasons for endorsing a man with such feelings against the people of his own District for office, and at the same time claim to be a Democrat. Washington Letter. [ From our regular Correspondent.] Washington, I). G\, Feb. Bth, 1880. These are bad times for this reform admin, istratibn. Between the exposures in the In dian bureau, and the unveiling of John Sher man's disgraceful use of the Treasury for his own ends, there is not much left of the high toned pretensions we have heard so much about. The Indian bureau (urns out to be as rotten as ever it was under Grant and Delano. Under the latter sharp practices were carried on by those who did not profess to he better than other men. Under llayes and Schurz, the robberies have been just the same, but done under the gnise of roligion and reform. They have been clone by the goody-goody sort of men, who canted about the immortal souls of the Indians while others were look ing after the immortal contracts. One set were looking after the food for the poor In dians* mind, while their wicked business partners looked after provisions for the body— the beef contracts, blankets and sich. It would seem that we had seen quite enough of the “ Christian statesman” in politics and political station in this country. Long months ago Ilayt was known to be compromised in exceedingly ugly-looking business transactions outside of his position here, while the matters which this investiga tion have brought out have been an open se cret. among those who were posted, for a con siderable time. The wonder of it all is tiiat Mr. Schurz should have been so slow to act. Among the other things proven is the fact t at Ilavt sent his son to act as agent in buying a mine, and instructed him to appear as Edward Kuapp. The mine in question had been placed outside of the Indian reser vation by a resurvey, under Hayt’s direction. Yet he was here in Wahsington talking about, reform, and pretending to despise the ordi nary, wicked politicians. 'I he New York Times and other Republi can journals opposed to John Sherman’s pres idential aspirations, are making some serious charges against him and his use of the Trea sury patronage. Sherman is certainly making desperate efforts to capture southern delega tions, and there are indications that lie has almost succeeded in one State at least. At the recent meeting of the North Carolina State Committee it was found, very unexpectedly, that Sherman had obtained control of the com mittee, and Col. Keough, the chairman, who is for Grant, at once resigned. Keough is now here, being secretary of the National Committee. He boldly declares that agents of John Sherman are traveling over the South ern States drawing $5 and $6 per day as special agents of the Treasury department, while their sole business is to secure Sherman delegates. According to all accounts there must be a large number of them. This is a pretty seriousbharge against the leading niem ber of a reform administration, and it does not emanate from Democratic sources either. Rut Secretary Sherman never has acted enough like a simon pure reformer to fool anybody. And he stands about as much chance of being President as Hat es does of a second term. Blaine, too, is threatened with an attack of sunstroke since the Pennsylvania convention. Cameron proves himself master of tiiat com monwealth. as yet. though things appear less ibvely than heretofore. The Democrats here manifest considerable delight over the out iock, A strong movement is being made to have to Democratic National Convention held here. The Pust is very energetic in advo cating it. and a good many Congressmen iavor k 1G idea. W ashington certainly lias many i advantages, and when the National Commit tee meets here on the 22d inst. they will be duly presented lor eonsi leration. This is the pleasantest city iu the country in spr Qg, is easy of access, lies midway between the North and South, and has better telegraph facilities and hotel accommodations than any other city. The new government museum building, already under roof, would make a splendid bull for the use of the convention, while the capital is free from all sectional prejudices, thus making it neutral ground for candidates. In one oilier respect this city would stand pre eminent. The convention would be more fully and fairly reported to the country. Every newspaper in the Union, near!}', great or small, has a representative here, and there Woul 1 not lie such garbled and outrageous reports as might be expected from the parti z.in press of Chicago, and other points talked of. Some of the Republican ex-office holders, haunters of capitol committee rooms and old political hacks, like ex-government printer Clapp, et al., are pushing an organized move ment for suffrage in the District of Columbia. The principal object sought by the leaders is greater influence in national affairs, while the smaller fry hunger for the crumbs of local ofTices. Citizens of tiie District are not citi zens of the United States in one sense, as they have no vote or voice in controlling the affairs of government. And considering the condition of society existing here, the better class do not want the ballot. The experi ences of a few years ago, when the worst class of ignorant, shiftless negroes and bum mers controlled the local government, led to the establishment of our present system, and all tax-paying, order-loving citizens have no wish to go back. We have in this city the largest element of degraded colored popula tion to be found in any city of its size. The most revolting and brutal grades of crime are more prevalent here than in an}’ other city. Cold-blooded murder, rape, and all sorts of assault, are of daily occurrence, yet for some reason justice is very slow and punishment very rare, so that the people have come to feel very much like those of a border settle ment, where Judge Lynch presides. Because of this, four negro brutes who murdered tin inoffensive young man in cold blood one night recently came very near being hanged without trial or jury. No less than fifteen murders have been committed during my residence in Washington, and not one of the murderers has yet been hung. One trouble is the negroes on our juries. This class of population is bad enough now. It is in finitely worse with the ballot in its hands, for the ballot gives them greater influence with the unscrupulous politicians, who use them for their own ends. Fnoxo. Mrs. Partington Says. Don't take any of the quack rostrums, as they are regimental to the human cistern ; but put your trust in Hop Bitters, which will cure general dilapidation, costive habits and all comic diseases. They saved Isaac from a severe extract of tripod fever. They are the ue plus ununi of medicines. tiIWSCUIA MJWS. The Eagle and Phoenix Mills convert into yarns and cloth about 13,000 bales of raw cotton per annum. The Dublin Post fears that Laurens county hasn't a very hopeful prospect before it. It says “ the farmers fed away all their corn waging fir cold weather to kill their hogs. When they did kill, the weather fooled Hum and spoiled their pork. We shall probably have a bad crop year, taxes will be high, and crime runs riot in our midst.” Mr. C. T. Simmons, of Sumter county, has shown to the Amcricus Republican about nine ounces of old iron, consisting of naiis, knife blades, bolts, screws, nuts, chainlinks, and some rocks, which were taken from a hog’s maw that ho recontiy killed. The hog was a large fat animal and in good health, and why it had feasted upon such things is what is puzzling the inquiring people of that sec tion. A lady living near flic foot of Blue Ridge a few days ago built a turkey pen in the hope of capturing some of the wild turkeys, which are plentiful in that section. The next day she found she had entrapped four very fine ones, and in order to securo them entered the pen. They immediately began a fierce attack on her, but, after a time, she succeed ed in overcoming two of them, and carried them home in triumph. The Greencsboro Journal say’s that Mr. Jas Edmonson and family, living near Bairds town, narrowly escaped death by poisoning a few days ago. It seems that Mr. E. had purchased some strychnine and soda, which were put up in papers of the same color. These he laid on the mantlepiece, and by mistake the cook used the wrong paper in preparing breakfast. ** The whole family,” says the Journal, “ also the dogs and cats, barely oscapcd death.” The Columbus Times relates the following amusing anecdote: “A gentleman from Troup county, who runs a store at Troup factory, was in New York not a great while ago and decided that he would buy a nice shawl and make his wife a handsome pres ent on his return home. lie accordingly went in at A. T. Stewart & Co.'s, and re quested the clerk to show him something handsome, saving that Ins wife was as good as anybody and that she should have some thing fine. The ciork threw down several, and selecting one that he thought would suit, the Tmup county man asked the price. ‘Twelve thousand dollars,’ replied the clerk. ‘Well, you just wait until I see my wife,’ said the Troup man, ‘ and if she wants me to sell out my farm, my stock of goods, and everything else we have and put the money iu the shawl, I will let you hear from me.’ A. T. Stewart & Co.’s clerk hasn’t heard from him yet, and the probability is that he will not take the shawl.'* Speaking of the iron interest of Bartow, the Cartersville Free Press says : “ We are glad to be able to state that the iron boom will start up two furnaces in Bartow county, which have been blown out for a long time, within a month. Messrs. McNeel & Cham berlain, having charge of the Bartow works, are making their preparations as rapidly as possible to go into blast. That enterprise will scatter a good deal of money in this sec tion of country. We wish tiie gentlemen all the success possible. Mr. R. 11. Couper will look after the affairs at Ward’s furnace, where the speigle iron is made. This metal is used for making Bessimer steel, and is said to be the best on the American continent. It sells high. Mr. W. P. Ward, the proprietor, was in town on Monday to make the necessary arrangements for going into blast. We wish it much success. There has been a Western man in town for several days, offering thirty five dollars per ton for pig iron, and will pay that much for five thousand tons. We are glad to see the iron boom booming down this way.*’ A Rochester Physician’s Experience. R. Caulkins, M. D., of Rochester, N. Y., certifies, Oct. 6th, 1879. that he has used the Safe Kidney and Liver Cure in his practice for diseases of the kidneys and liver, and the result has been satisfactory in the extreme. He says : “ I would now prescribe the same remedy’ to all similarly afflicted, and you are at liberty to so state in your testimonials.” Inventors and Patentees Should send for instructions, terms, references, &c.. to Edson Brothers, Solicitors of Patents, Washington, D.

The committee to examine public buildings beg leave to make the following report: We find since the last session of the Superior Court our Ordinary, Judge Bell, has, under in structions of said Court, erected an elegant and durable building for a Court House, which is not only a suitable edifice, well designed and adapted to its uses, but also in keeping with the dignity and wants of the county.
