POLITICAL NOTES.
Twenty of twenty-one German papers in

Carl Schurz, since his arrival from
Europe on Tuesday, has determined to

will wave a bloody shirt.
Here is how shy Sam Bowles of the
Springfield Republican puts it: *‘lf the peo
ple go on voting Democratic State and Con
gressional tickets in this careless way,
what is to becomo of the great Republican
party ? They should think of this.”
A piece of cheap clap-trap on the part of
the bullionists is to depreciate the Govern
ment greenbacks by giving the Wall street
discount on them as compared to gold.
They conveniently omit to mention that
5-20s are up to 120% and upwards! What
makes them so high but tho people’s taxes?
'A hy aro they so steady if repudiation is in
the air?— [N’ashvillo American.
Eladderadatsch has a happy touch on the
French pretenders. Tho Republic drives
her cab. MaeMahon lays back as a pas
senger, and little Prince Louis steals a sur
reptitious ride, while Henry V and the
Count of Paris join in the shout against tho
Prince, ‘‘Cut behind! Cut behind!”
Ktadderadatach, the Berlin launch, does
not often deal very plainly with politics,
but it evidently feels no restraint with re
gard to Turkey. It pictures that power as
taking her place on the stage as a member
of the European concert troupe, while a
lackey hands her the request of “the di
rection” that she should leave. “Out of
Europe with her” is the legend.
LETTER FROM CHARLESTON.
The Vagaries of the Municipal Can
vass.
[From Our Own Correspondent]
Charleston, September 17.
The all prevailing topic of conversa
tion now i3 the approaching Municipal
campaign, and the situation of affairs
is doubly interesting from the fact,
that the result is of such vital interest
to the weal of the city, and because
things are so complicated that fifty
Philadelphia lawyers and a half dozen
lightning calculators would sink under
the effort to unravel them or arrive at a
definite conclusion as to the result.
“The old thing ain’t what it used to
be.” Parties are divided, racos are di
vided, families under the same roof are
divided. In all previous municipal
contests in which the people of Charles
ton were called upon to struggle
for power at the ballot box, there were
always some distinguishing party lines.
While there might have been an
amalgamation between the whites and
the better class of tho colored citizens,
yet this coalition took some tangible
shape, and a man could safely estimate
another’s political status from his
standing in the community. But In the
present fight everything is obscured,
muddled and peculiar. On the one
hand the Bowen clique, the German el
ement and a portion of the substantial
citizens are working in harness for tho
election of ex-Mayor John A. Wagener,
while on the other hand are arrayed a
large portion of the best Conservative
citizens and the Independent Republi
cans, working harmoniously and earn
estly together for the election of the
Hon. George L Cunningham. This
split, as may well bo imagined,
has created a bloody chasm into
which gallons of the “ life current ”
has already been shed, over which it
may be difficult to shake hands after
everything is decided.
On Wednesday evening last the Bow
en-Wagener Convention met at Hiber
nian Hall, excluded all outsiders, to
gether with the representatives of the
press, and caucussed until 2 o’clock a.
m. over the Aldermanlc ticket. Prom
what could be learned of this Star
Chamber session, it appears that things
are not working as harmoniously in
the ranks of this side of the house as
they might wish. The Chairman’s
voice, as ho exhorted his followers,
was heard out on tho still night air, to
the reporters, who patiently (?) waited
the adjournment. Prom the lips of
this—not wisely but too-well spoken
gentleman came out through tho
crevices of the sealed doors the in
formation that he proposed to give
a representation on the ticket of
six white natives, six white foreign
ers, and six colored Bowenites—making
up the eighteen Aldermen. But this
didn’t seem to satisfy Boss Bowen’s
crowd; they wanted more, and so the
fight went on until the wee sma’ hours,
and finally resulted in—nothing.
To-day the Republican primary elec
tions for delegates to the Republican
Nominating Convention were held, with
a sweeping victory for the supporters
of Cunuingham. As might bo expected
from their inherent love of depositing
a ballot, no matter on what side, the
colored “Conservatives” who turned
out for Wagener a week ago, and took
the oath that they were Conservatives
and felt in harmony with the Conserva
tive movement, as numerously
turned out to-day to take
the the oath that they were
Republicans. So little moral responsi
bility does there seem to exist in this
class of our colored population, that
many of them attempted to vote to
day on the ground that when they
swore that they were Conservatives,
they didn’t swear it on a Bible, ami
were therefore freed from all moral ob
ligation in the matter. However laud
able this principle might be, the Cun
ningham men took sufficient care to
prevent its being tested practically, and
many a Bowenite was requested to step
down and out as ho waltzed up smil
ingly with his ballot. The election was
all one way, tho votes polled being
2,011, a vote largely in excess of the
number polled at the Wagener pri
maries held last week. Tho whites, as
a body, did not participate, and, as
in the Wagener primaries, whites
and blacks both turned out. Tho Cun
ningham supporters hail the day’s work
as a sign of victory. The day, as a
whole, passed off quietly—true there
were several little private mills be
tween Cunningham and Wagener meD,
but resulting in no serious injury to
the participants. The Wagener Con
vention will meet to nominate Aider
men (if they can agree) on’ Monday
next, and will be closely followed by
the Cunningham Convention. Upon
the character of the Aldermanie nomi
nation rests, in a great measure the
result of the elections, and consequent
ly the two tickets are looked for with
an interest bordering upon impatience.
Qui Vive.
GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
The Galnesvillo Eagle says Gen. Toombs
promises to deliver, if possible, some day
during next week, an address to tho people
of Hall county.
Tho Madison Home Journal says only one
person has been hanged in that county
since it was laid off In 1808. It was in 1832,
and the victim was a negro wh) had
stolen, for tho third time, a pair of coppe
ras breeches.
Columbus Times: By anew law, which
went into effect the first of this month, it is
made tho duty of parents to return all the
births and deaths which occur in their fa
milies to the ordinary of the county in
which they live. Tho penalty for each fail
ure to do so is $lO. The same law makes
the marriage licenco much more definite
than it formerly was. Sixteen questions
are now answered before tho license is is
sued. Tho certificate in the hands oi tho
ordinary gives a full and accurate descrip
tion of each person married. Residence,
age, paronts’ name, color, place of birth
and several other things are recorded
The Courier wants another vote of the
citizens of Rome on the question of accept
ing the compromise offered by the holders
of the bonds of that city. It says: “Tho
majority of our property holders foel that
they are losing money every day this
question of settlement remains open for
bitter discussion. Let all the bondhc lders
come forward and pledge themselves to
the compromise, and we have no doubt
another election will endorso it on the part
of Rome. Since the last election on the
subject a petition has been numorously
signed representing a large majority of
the property in the city, favoring the set
tlement proposed, and it is reasonable to
suppose that many who opnosed hereto
fore have changed their minds and would
willingly veto the other way now.”
Toccoa Herald: Two negroes, Bob and
Dennis Sparks, who were engaged in dig
ging a well for Mr. Singorfleld, near Avres
villo, met with an untimely death on
Thursday morning last. The facts of their
death are substantially as follows: They
had got the well to the depth of about 75
feet, and on Thursday morning returned to
their work as usual. Bob went down into
tho well, and had hardly reached the bot
tom when he called to those above to pull
him out, quick, and caught Jjold of the rope
convulsively. They began to draw him up,
but had not got him far when he began to
relax his hold and fell to the bottom a
corpse. The party above now threw some
water into tho well, probably with a view
of resuscitating him, as they were greatly
excited and didn't know what else to do.—
His brother now volunteered to go down
after him. Ho got into the bucket
and was lowered to the bottom and
succeeded in tieing a rope around his dead
brother, when, from the effects of the foul
air, united perhaps with a superstitious
dread at being alone with the deac, he
ignored the rope and began to ascend a
ladder which extended a few feet up the
well. The effects of the was overcome him
as he ascended the ladder and he fell t>> the
bottom a corpse. They were subsequently
drawn out amid much excitement, not un
mingled with sorrow at the fearful tragedy.
They were brought to Toccoa on Friday
night, and were carried to their home, some
seven or eight miles distant, for interment.

Kitson’s Patent Compound Opener Lapper.
THE cotton is spread on this machine from the bale, and is made into a very even
lap, at the rate of 300 to 400 pounds per hour. The laps are then finished on a
TWO-BEATER LAPPER,
WITH
KITSON’S PATENT EVENER
Attahed, and owing to reecent improvements in this Evener, the laps when ready for
the card, oidy varies one quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by tins
system is only aboutone mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from lire than the card r<> mu
#S“There is al- o a gi •■at saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langley Manufac
turing Company, and at the best mins at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Mancheeter
Lewiston, Providence, Richmond, Baltimore, etc., etc.
The following are a tew among many testimonials whicn we have received:

Lappers, with Eveners, tor more than one year, and frankiy say that they have given

OFFICE LANGLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY, )
Langley, S. C., April 14, 1873. f
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen, f have been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, with Eveners, for more th>n 1 wo years nart at the Cotton Mill of tne
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet wo have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent. in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against lire.
Yours, &c., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
