The Tri-Weekly Sumter Republi can entered its eigteenth year on the 22d inst. The weekly Republican is in its thirtieth year, and is a sound old muldoon. What has become of the Savannah Times? We have missed its pleasing physiognomy for more than a week, and we don’t like it. You must do better than this, Mr. Times. The Atlanta Constitution compliments a political speech made in that city by Mr. John M Graham, official reporter of this judicial circuit, last Wednesday, very highly. We congratulate Mr. G. upon his laurels. Savannah Recorder : A respectable looking young white man was sent to the penitentiary for four ye rs, last week, for stealing four cans of con densed milk, while acting as a common carrier between Thunderbolt and War saw island. The Swainsboro Herald says that 1 bat tow-. is the best cotton market in the State, because its cotton buyers pay one cent per pound more than thoy receive for it in Savannah. This makes it a good market for the seller, but it puts lie heer on the buyers for being the greenest si t of traders in the United Mates. We take pleasure ; n copying the fol lowing well deserved compliment to Col. M. P. Ca-roll from the Madison Madisonian, and give it our hearty en. dorse men t: “Col. M. P. Carroll, of Augusta, is in altendance on our Supe rior ( ourt. By his urbanity of manner and gen ; nl social character, he has made a. fine impression on our people. He is a prominent aspirant for the judge ship of the Autrusta Circuit, and we hope will be elected. In him the Cir cuit would have an able, impartial and popular judge, and the bench a brilliant ornament,” We are decidedly of the opinion that credit tc^, newspaper for articles cop ied from it is as justly due as any othef transaction of honor. We are al ways scrupu’ously careful to do so.— tuxes. Of course, that would he impos sible to do unless there was a total change in the Bchool system. This change we propose to urgo upon the Legis'ature when it assem bles. There was no great enthusiasm among the audience, because peihaps everybody had already made up their minds how they would vote. Taken altogether, it was a good speech. * :Down with High Prices & Poor Shoes ! IN ALL ITS ! B RAH C H E S. WM.

Seveial la dies grac d the occasion; The speaker took the grouud, and rightly too, that Gen.
