CURRENT TOPICS.
“O tempora ! O morelles !” as the man
said when he read the New York Times ,
Columbia telegram.— (Jowritr-Journal.
Little Eugene Hale, the would-be
leader of the minority in the House, is
about as competent to pulL the Louisiana
Returning Board fraud against the cur
rent of public opinion, as he is to row up
Niagara rapids in a peanut shell.— N. Y.
Sun.
Bond may escape temporarily by the
connivance of his party friends, but he will
yet be reached and punished.—Rich
mond Dispatch.
General Joe Shelby has seen fit to in
trude himself into prominence, and the
papers are “going for him.” The New
York Sun says that “he was an enterpris
ing Confederate officer, but we never heard
of his being quoted as an authority upon
questions of constitutional law.” Shelby
seems to be an authority of the Mosby
school-of-thc-loaves-and-fishes.
t Roast goose ala Mount Vernon: Singe,
draw and trim a young goose; chop fine
and parboil two onions; cool, pres3 the
water out and fry slightly in a little but
ter; mix with mashed potatoes sufficient
to fill the goose; when the goose is done,
truss, tie both ends securely and roast
about two hours; then remove the strings
and dish u p, surrounding with a border of
a dozen large apples that have been peeled,
cored, cut in two and cooked a light brown
in a large frying-pan, with a little goose
grease; besprinkle with two tablespoonfuls
of fine sugar, pour a ladleful of rich gravy
over tke goose, and serve.— World.
Avery good sign is the necessity that
forces Grant to explain that he did not
mean that he would inaugurate any person
declared elected by the President of the
Senate, but any person declared elected af
ter a counting of the votes by the two
Houses of Congress. Avery proper ex
planation, but one that would not have
been made if things "had been in a concat
enation accordingly.”— Richmond Dispatch.
New York Times: The Democrats of
the New-York school have, it seems to us.
made a great mistake in supposing that
they can count on a “solid South” for sup
port in the revolutionary proceedings with
which they threatened the country. There
is evidence that this is so in the words of
such leading Southern men as Mr. Hill,
and in those which Mr. Lamar is said to
have used, as well as in the expressions
which we have quoted, from time to time,
from the Democratic papers in the South.
World: Senator Gordon is a man who,
like Lamar and Hampton, has compelled
Jhe admiration of his political enemies.
He is one who set himself resolutely to
build up the South after the waves of the
war receding left it as desolate and un
formed as the world when the Deluge sub
sided. His description of the recent cam
paign in the South is therefore worthy of
earef ul consideration. He shows what bad
policy violence would have been for the De
mocracy, and argues that the white people
of his section put forth their strength in
peaceful and lawful methods not merely
because it was just to do so, nor because
the prosperity of their own communities
made order necessary; but even as a mat.
ter of party expediency. The story of the
magnificent attitude of the people oi South
Carolina and their great leader is well told
and it is something that we cannot hear
too often.
Herald: It turns out here, on Republi
can authority, that the reason why the
Louisiana Returning Board so obstinately
refused to elect a Democratic member to
fill the vacancy, as the law directs, was
that they feared that the two colored mem
bers would go over to the Democratic side.
Yet Mr. Sherman eulogized these two
members as eminently respectable and
trustworthy citizens. It does not appear
that ho knew the reason for the exclusion
of a Democrat from the Returning Board.
People here, who were in New Orleans
while the Chant committee were there,
say that these gentlemen were taken
possession of by Kellogg and the other
.Republican leaders; that they never looked
into the Democratic evidence, and those
familiar with Gov. Kellogg’s peculiar way
of putting things say that they recognize
his hand in the Sherman report; not that
Kellogg wrote it, but that he inspired it
and supplied the tone and the arguments.
N. Y. Sun: Tho conspirators who pro
jected this outrage have exhausted
their resources of deception, and the inevi
table reaction, as the truth begins to come
to light, is setting in. When the full de
tails of the shameless frauds perpetrated
in the attempt to make Hayes President
are spread before the public in the reports
of the various Congressional Committees
now engaged in investigating the facts, a
popular feeling will bo created which even
the most desperate of the conspirators may
not dare to meet. The plot they have laid
to carry in a President by fraud, forgery,
and perjury was skilfully contrived, and
vast interests are backing it, but they have
undertaken a -work that they now find to
be dangerous.
ew York Herald correspondence: M. C.
Pi tlkb is a native Carolinian, His father
was an officer of the old army and a mem
ber of Congress, was a son of General Wil
liam Bt'TLEB of revolutionary fame and a
brother of the Hon. A. P. Butler, for sev
eral years United States Senator from this
State. His mother was a sister of Commo
dore Perky. General Butler went into
the late war as a captain of cavalry in the
Hampton Legion, rose rapidly to the rank
or Major General, having lost a leg at
11 randy station. At tho close of the Avar,
like the really brave men on either side, he
did all in his power to restore peace to the
country. He was a Conservative member
of the Legislature in IBG6, and was nomi
nated in 1870 for Lieutenant-Governor by
the reform party in this State. The plat
form of the party was to a great extent
originated by General Butler, and was
almost identically the same as that of Gov
ernor Hampton’s party in the late contests
Since then until now, General Butler has
been entirely conservative, in so much that
his connection with the "Hamburg horror,”
meat as an attorney, and his prominence
thereon was simply owing to his being a
representative man endeavoring to keep
the peace. He was as well known to both
6idea during the war for his prudence and
discretion as a General. General Butler
is about forty years of age. He is an able
lawyer, ready debater and finished gentle
man, handsome and duvatrßvand possess
ed of an unusual degree of sound judgment :
and practical foresight.
SANTA CLAUS’ WIFE.
A jolly old lady is Santa Claus’ spouse,
As every good soul that has seen her al
lows.
She has silvery hair, but her eye of bright
blue
Is still clear and unstained spite the years
she’s passed through.
Her face is so fresh, and so plump is her
form,
Her voice is so sweet, and her heart is so
warm,
That it’s hard to believe when one some
times is told
Mrs. S. will be shortly two thousand years
old.
She is homelike and quiet and spends all
her time
From the sunset of Christmas till Christ
mas Eve’s chime,
In cutting and stitching from morning to
night
On presents to make the next Christmas
tide bright.
She knits and embroiders and crochets to
send us
Each gift, sometimes simple and some
times stupendous;
But they all bear the stamp of her dear
good old heart,
Which makes them more precious than
great works of art.
A noble old lady is dear Mrs. S.,
And that I have loved her I freely confess;
For who could resist her kind Bweetness of
soul,
Or the mirth in her eyes when they laugh
ingly roll,
Or her sole words of comfort when you’re
melancholy,
Or ner Hashes of wit when you feel gay
and jolly?
O Santa Ctaus, you are a lucky old boy
For you have in your good wife a fountain
of joy!
—N. Y. Sun.

South Carolina’s Senator. Gen. M. C.
Butler.
No one supposes that the Democratic
Legislature of South Carolina either
would or could please the Northern
Radicals in their choice of a United
States Senator. The vials of their
wrath were all ready to be poured out
upon the devoted head of any gentle
man, thus honored by the legal Legis
lature of the Palmetto State. It is not
to be wondered at, therefore, that all
the barrel organs 6f the Grant dynasty
are abusing, to the best of their ability,
the distinguished soldieu and states
man who will alone represent South
Carolina in the United States Senate
after the fourth of March next. In
this section Gen. Butler is known to
us all as one of the most moderate and
Conservative men in South Carolina,
and knowing this fact, it is not neces
sary for us to enlarge upon it. But
we take pleasure in reproducing from
the Philadelphia Times, a journal thor
oughly independent in politics, the fol
lowing article. In speaking of General
Butler’s career and antecedents, it
says: v
“And whfrt%re the facts ? Mr. But
ler is a highly cultured South Caro
linian, who has ever been conspicuous
for his conservative counsels and ac
tions. He served under Hamiton dur
ing the rebellion, lost a leg at Brandy
Station, rose to the rank of Major-
General in the insurgent army by his
merits as a soldier, and, like all brave
men on both sides, when the war ended
he bowed to the arbitrament of the
sword, and has ever been in accord
with Hampton in teaching, alike by pre
cept and example, submission to the
Government in the generous spirit that
is due from faithful citizenship. He
was at Hamburg on professional busi
ness on the day of the horrible butch
ery, and, as the preliminaiy hearing
proved, had no part in the bloody af
fair, except to make exhaustive efforts
to maintaia the peace. But his promi
nence as a citizen made him an
inviting target for those who
sought to turn a cowardly
murder to political advantage, instead
of judicially ascertaining the truth
and punishing the guilty, and his name
has been inseparably interwoven with
that revolting tragedy. Gov. Chamber
lain was then the undisputed Governor
of South Carolina, with the regular
troops practically at his command, with
his State militia armed and absolutely
under his orders, with Republican
judges in every judicial district, and
with Republican machinery for tho se
lection of jurors. He bad but to com
mand the law, whose agencies were all
in political accord with himself, to en
force swift judgment against the mur
derers, for atrocious murderers there
were at Hamburg beyond a question.
But that did not suit the purpose of
the man who was charged with the pre
servation of the peace of the State
and the enforcement of the laws. In
stead of summoning the law to assert
its majesty, he rushed away to Wash
ington and called for “more troops’’
with dramatic flourish to Arc the North
ern heart. In a public letter ho asso
ciated the name of Mr. Butler with
the massacre, to which the accused
publicly answered that he was inno
cent, that he was voluntarily in the
hands of the law, and that he chal
lenged prompt and searching judicial
investigation of the murderous affairs,
so that the innocent should be acquit
ted and the guilty punished. Nor did
Mr. Butler, like Gov. Chamberlain,
atop with a newspaper proclamation.
At tho .earliest moment ho appeared be
fore a Eepublican judge and asked—
not for his discharge, but for a refer
ence of the case to the proper tribunal
for tho most exhaustive investigation.
The Republican Judge held this "red
handed ruffian,” this "moving spirit in
the bloodiest deed recorded in our mod
ern history,” to bail In the sum of one
thousand dollars for his appearanco at
the court for trial. This was last mid
summer, and why has he not been
tried ? Why has the Republican Gov
ernor not made his Republican judge
call in his Republican jurors and try
Mr. Butler for the Hamburg massa
cre ? Five blacks were horribly
butchered after they had been cap
tured and disarmed. There must
be a clear case of most diabolical
murder against some parties, and if
Mr. Butler aided or abetted the
murderers, he is equally guilty with
them alike in law and morals, and why
has he not been tried ? He has pub
licly challenged Chamberlain to try
him before all the Chamberlain
authors of the Hamburg tragedy that
he had striven most earnestly to pre
vent. It was this notice that made
Chamberlain retreat from the trial of
Butler. It was the fear that Butler
would prove that the Hamburg mas
sacre was concocted and forced to
consummation by political leaders
most trusted in the counsels of |
Chamberlain, and that it would be
established before a Republican court
and a Republican jury that the Ham
burg outbreak was one of the deli
berately planned features of the
Chamberlain political campaign to
arouse the country, furnish an excuse
to place South Carolina under martial
law and thus insure anew lease of car
pet-bag power in that State. From
August last until now Mr. Butler has
defied Chamberlain in his own courts,
and as yet he is without any .to accuse
him at the bar of justice. Such is the
truth of Mr. Butler’s association with
tho Hamburg butchery so far as the
public can dge from an impartial
hearing of both sides.”
So long as this distinguished Caro
linian is thus known to the enlighten
ed press and people of the North, he
can afford to pass over in silence the
petty mouthing of those Radical pa
pers whose political creed begins and
ends with hatred to the South and her
people.
Our County Nominations.
In our local columns will be found
the proceedings of the Democratic
County Convention held yesterday at
the City Hall. Its session was har
monious, and in a very short time it
performed its duties in a most satis
factory manner. Maj. S. H. Crump for
Clerk of the Superior Court, John W.
Taliaferro, Clerk of the County Court,
Charles H. Sibley, Sheriff, W. M. Dun
bar, Treasurer, Col. R. J. Wil
son, Receiver of Tax Returns, and
John A. Bohleb, Tax Collector, the
present very efficient and popular en
cumbents of those offices, were renom
inated by acclamation, except Mr.
Bohlek, against whom one ballot out
of forty was cast. Judge James T.
Bothwell was nominated for Ordinary
on the second, Edmund Morris for Sur
veyor on the first, and Thomas A.
Kunze for Coroner on the fifth ballot,
all most excellent and timely nomina
tions.
We suppose the independent can
didacy of Judge Samuel Levy, the
present Ordinary for another term, will
make the race for that office somewhat
exciting, but it ought not to by any
means. Tho banner county of the ban
ner Democratic State in the Union,
giving President Tilden over 2,200 ma
jority, should bo able without the
slightest difficulty to elect the regular
nominees of the Democratic party.
This is no time for discord or dissen
sion in our ranks. In this hour of trial
we should see to it that only o tspoken
and firm Democrats are elected to all
offices from Governor down to Consta
ble. Let every Democrat, then, go to
the polls, on election day, and vote the
straight Democratic ticket, headed by
Judge James T. Bothwell for Ordinaly
The New York Tunes, in a flambo
yant way, tells how an English clergy
man was outraged in Charlotte, South
Carolina. Was not the so-called out
rage in Charlotte, North Carolina ?
Judge H. D. D. Twiggs, formerly
Judge of the Circuit now presided over
by Judge H. V. Johnson, is one [of
the most talented mon in the State, and
was alternate elector for the State at
large in the late canvass. Judge Twiggs
visited the Exhibition as the guest of
the Clioch Rifles of Augusta, one of the
companies of the Centennial Legion.—
Philadelphia Times.
While tho discomfited Radical con
spirators are raving at what they call
the “Oregon villainy,” Senator Bogy,
more properly remarks that nothing
but the providential circumstance that
one of the Oregon votes was given for
Tilden, and, if it stands, elects him,
could have brought the Radicals to see
that aD illegal and fraudulent return
ought not to stand.
We read in our yesterday’s tele
grams that “Senator Bayard and Gor
don, and perhaps Thurman and Ran
som, also, Speaker Randall, Congress
men Lamar, Hewitt ami Watterson,
go to-morrow to New York, by invita
tion, to hold an informal conference
with Mr. Tilden.” Ben Hill seems to
have been left out, all hough Alfriend
ttlls us that Ben, in his late flop, “rep
resented Mr. Tilden.”
According to the New York Herald's
Washington correspondent, Congress
man Foster, of Ohio, says that if there
is any compromise movement on foot
to secure tho Inauguration of Tilden
and Wheeler it will make as much of
a row among the Democrats in the
West as would the inauguration of
Hayes, because it would disappoint and
anger tho numerous friends of Mr.
Hendricks, whose success is with them
as much an object as the triumph of
Mr. Tilden.
In view of Gen. Grant’s remark
about “the party which I represent,”
tho SpriDgfield (Mass.) Eepublican in
quires whether it would not be well to
amend the oath which the President is
required to take, so as to read as fol
lows : "I do solemnly swear (or affirm.)
that I will faithfully execute the office
of President of the Republican party,
and will to the best of my ability pre
serve, protect*and and the constitu
tion of the Eepublican party. ”
We learn from our exchanges that
General Bartlett leaves a wife and
five children, the youngest of whom, a
babe a few weeks old, was baptized in
his dying arms a few days ago, while
he partook of the last sacrament and
himself sang the sacramental hymn.
May he pass a happy Chrismas in
heaven; and may the Father of the
Fatherless look lovingly down upon the
widow and orphans of such a noble
gentleman 1
