1 lie other morning a boy sauntered up to
a yard on Eighth street, where a woman was
scratching the bosom of the earth with a rake,
and, leaning on the fence, said: “-Yre you
g„ng around the back yard after awhile ?’
The woman said she didn’t know ; maybe she
would; why? ••Because," the boy said, ‘‘l
Just saw the cistern l:d drop cn the baby’s

Mrs Burnham says in the Ht. Louis lirpub
luian : ‘No man should undertake to build a
play from the novels of Ilickens, They do not
dramatize intelligently, They present Lit* of
character acting, but as a whole are jeiky and
lack continuity. The only exception to the
multitude of | lays founded on Dickens cn t in
Boucicault’s version of the ‘Cricket on the
Hearth ’ But Bpncicanit could dramatize the
•Book of Job’and make a society play of deep
interest out of it. There must be a dozen
dramas floating about from ‘Oliver Twist,’ and
every one of ’em as detestable as the other."
J)r. Hill writes of Agassiz : “One day as wp
were walking -together in a field, we came upon
a fragment of b.,ne, left evidently by some
dog from a neighboring iionsd. 1 was passing
l,y it without attention, but Agassiz picked it
up and saw tw > spiders clinging to its under
side.' ‘There !’ said he, as ho transferred the
spiders to a bottle of alcohol, ‘that shows us
that no object is so (rival as not to repay us
for looking at it. Who would have thought to
get two genera of spiders from au old piece of
mutton bone ?’ "
Hubert Unut says of the snn : * The sun is
not burning out. After the laps of thousands
of years tho light of day is no le-s brilliant
than it was when man lived in bis primeval
abode. It can even be maintained that the sun
of the present Summer shines with the same
spleii lor as when myriads of ages before man
appeared on this planet it stimulated Ihe
growth of tlio-o luxuriant forests which form
ed by their decay those vast beds from which
wo derive our coal. Not a ray the less is pour
ed out in any hour of sunshine. Not (lie
weight of even a grain of matter is lost from
the mass of tho sun. If either the sunshine
was weakened, or the weight of Ihe vast globe
diminished, the planets would vary in their
physical conditions, and their mbits would be
changed."
Finding that tho quality of the English steel
is so superior that tho makers of circular saws,
axes, and all the liner kinds of edge tools, are
compelled to use it, tho American steel manu
facturers are combining in an appeal to Con
gress to put a higher duty on an article with
which they cannot oompeto. By driving Eng
lish Hteel out of the market a few manufactur
ing corporations will monopolize the business
and make large profits; but the result would
be that the Auiorican workmen would have to
pay high prices for inferior toots. The pig
iron men also want more protection. Notwith
standing tho heavy duties already imposed on
imported pig iron, the Pennsylvania iron mas
ters complain that they cannot gel along.
They want Congress to add ton per cent, to
the present duty on pig iron. Ho we go.
Tho Spanish civil war drags on yet: but tho
Carlists seem to have loot a good deal of their
energy by their repulse at Bilbao, Iml it is not
probable that the contest can bo protracted*
many months longer. Tho tight lias been a
savage one, but wo do not recollect of any
deeds equal in cruelty to those which disgraced
tho war of tho elder Carlos thirty-five yoars
ago or more. It wil be remembered l y some of
our older readers that tho supporters of Queeu
Isabella shot an old woman of seventy merely
because being tho mother of a Carlist loader,
shn sympathized with and tried to help her
son. The Carlists retaliated by shooting the
wives of four or five officers of Isabella's par
tv; and tlieso were by no moans all the enor
mities that were perpetrated during tho pro
tracted and bloody struggle.
A somewhat interesting person is R. C.
Rogester, the man who figured as Judge of
Grant parish. I.a . at the time of tho lighting
there, and for whom the trouble was brought
on. In testifying in Now Orleans the other
day ho said : "1 was Judge of Grant parish ;
never studied law; used to he a detective, be
fore that a tanner. 1 went to Colfax from Now
Orleans, came here from Shreveport. I left
Shreveport in a hurry, becauso I was afraid to
stay there; went to Shreveport from Anderson,
Texas; went there from Arkansas. I lived be
fore that in South Carolina, Philadelphia, Bal
timore, Brooklyn, Westchester, Peru, Chili,
New Granada. I was born in Delaware." As
tho "Judge,” according to the Picayune, is
not vet a middle aged man, he is likely to have
plenty of time for future achievements. Os
course there is some prejudice against him in
his last adopted Slate, but he can out livo that.

An improved, or rather newly invented felted
fabric has been brought to great perfection by
English manufacturers. In I.ondon it sells at
prices which make it tho rival of woven fab
rics for curtains, Upholstery, book Jiindiug and
similar purposes. It can bo made to imitate
the solidity of Cordova leather, tho rich bro
caded silks of Lyons, the elegant cretonnes.
Mttlliouse, tho pur ty and gloss of damask
linen, and the magnificent paper of China and
Japan. It is. in fact, a specie 1 of Japanese
paper. It is as durable as any woven fabric, is
impermeable, light and warm, and particularly
appl.eable for curtains and quilts, and needs no
was dug. Its colors never fade, and it is so
cheap that elegant curtains three yards long,
ready made wi ll l ands, sewed and lined, range
in price from a dollar to five dollars the pair.
It has not vet been manufactured in sufficient
quantity to meet tin* home demand, and there
fore is not yet in the American market.
Pres dent MacMahou’s new Ministry, the
thiixl which Franco has had within three days,
does not hear ab tit it the character of perma
nence. It seems to have beeu made up in a fit
of desperation. 111 which the President, tired of
the continuance of the crisis, had with military
determination resolved to cut the knot he
c mid not untie, and to have a Cabinet of some
kind. Its personnel does not embody any ro
markable strength, whilst it is ilr.wn almost
entirely from two factions of the Assembly,
and will have no support from the Republican
side, ad very little from the Extreme Right.
General Oi<sey. the Vice-President of the
Council, has beeu claimed both as a Bouapart
ist and a moderate Republican. Ho was Minis
ter of War under Thiers, and held the position
for a few daw in the IV Broglie Cabinet. His
strong friendship for Baaaiue made him un
popular duri' g the sjorm of indignation
against that General. The Duo Decaxes is an
Orlesnist. M. Magne is the most pronounced
Ron apart ist in the new Cabinet. If the SI inis
trv survives, it will be by bending to the popu
lar desires, rather than by any strong policy of
its own.
The hitherto infallible Court column of the
London Niue* has just received a stinging re- ;
bake, which will go far to impair its prestige, ]
It stated recently in that formal and loyal :
phraseology, which used so to delight Mr. !
Thackeray that he ouee had thoughts of lying |
111 wait about the buiidiug to see the person ;
who prepared the Court Circular—that the ;
true and "obvious" cause of the absence of
the Duchess of Edinburgh from the last draw
mg room was that Her Royal Highness had
hopes of an event which w'onld add to her hap
piuess and that of the Duke of Edinburgh,
and the announcement of which would cause
general joy in the kingdom. People embed
somewhat in the clubs and the streets, and
made remarks tipou the wedding and the an
nouncement. saying with Horatio, "Indeed,
my Lord, it followed hard upou." But the
neat morning there w*as still greater buzzing
when the Post announced, by request, that the
authoritative and courtly paragraph of the
day before had been printed without the
knowledge or authorization of the Duke of
Edinburgh. By whose, then? is the neat
question in order, as yet unanswered. Al
together there has been no piece of Court
gossip more diverting than thin since the days
es Mary Tudor, and we cannot but admire the
delicacy and propriety of an official press
which forms so striking a contrast with that of
newer countries.

THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Meeting Yesterday Afternoon.
A meeting of the Board of Health was
held at the City Assessor’s office yester
day afternoon at six o’clock.
Present—Frotn the City Council—
Mayor Estes and Messrs. Jones, Meyer
and Pournelle.
From Ward No. I—J. W. Bessman,
Samuel Levy.
From Ward No. 2—Jos. Meyers, Ker
Boyce, Z. McCord.
From Ward No. 3—R. A. Fleming, W.
D. Bowen.
From Ward No. 4—F. Cogin, C. B.
Day.
Mayor Estes called the meeting to or
der, and requested Dr. Jones, the Chair
man of the« Health Committee, to take
the Chair.
Dr. Jones said that the Board had
been called together for the purpose of
investigating the numerous reports in
regard to the small pox and considering
what should be done in the premises.
Dr. Eugene F. Foster had been ap
pointed by the Mayor to attend to small
pox patients, and he, therefore, request
ed him to make a statement to the meet
ing in regard to the disease.
Dr. Foster sai t he thought there was
unnecessary alarm in the city in regard
to the small pox. There were only
seven cases in the city small pox hos
pital and one in the country. Other
parties who had been exposed to the
disease had been removed to the same
hospital as a matter of precaution.
There were two cases in Mr. Isaac B.
Davis’ family and one in that of Mr.
W. M. Hitt, both in the eastern portion
of the city. These were all the cases
in the city known to the authorities.
Each house, from which cases were re
moved, had been thoroughly disinfect
ed. He thought that the only danger
of a spread of the disease, to be appre
hended, was among those parties who
had been exposed to it by visiting others
who had i t before they were removed
to the pest house. He did not think
that there was any necessity, whatever,
for alarm. He vaccinated last year
eleven hundred persons in the city.
Tho Chairman inquired in reference
to Mrs. Bush’s case.
Dr. Foster said he had visited Mrs.
Bush and pronounced the case positive
ly not to be one of small pox. Dr.
Eve concurred with him iu that opinion.
Other cases reported to him he had in
vestigated and also found the reports
to be false. There xvere no eases known
to the authorities other than these pre
viously mentioned by him.
Lieutenant Prather, of the police
force, said lie had just made investiga
tion in a case reported to him and found
it not to lie small pox.
Mayor Estes did not think that there
was tiie least cause for alarm. Several
eases had been reported to him but on
investigation 110 discovered that there
was no small pox on the premises. Not
a single white person had died of the
disease.
The Chairman said that the city, except
in the case of children born in the last
three years, and of strangers, was
thoroughly protected by vaccination,
and ho believed it to be impossible for
the disease to spread. He had been
called that afternoon to see a patient in
the southwestern part of tho city and
he was unable then to say whether tho
case was one of small pox or not. He
would be able to tell iu the morning.
Another case which he had been called
to see, on South Boundary, was not
small pox.
The Mayor asked Lieutenant Prather
to make a statement in regard to the
origiu of the disease.
Lieutenant Prather said that it had
commenced last January on Mclntosh
street, near Broad. Mr. Wm. Voelker’s
family on Broad street, near Ivollock,
had caught the disease from that case,
and it thence was communicated to Mr.
J. J. Moore’s children near by, and to
Mr. Balk’s iu the Tower part of tho city.
Mr. Balk at first believed that his chil
dren had chicken pox.
l)r. Jones said that the cases of the
children up town had been in existence
three weeks before he knew anything
about them. He inquired of the physi
cian attending them and he told him
that he had informed the Mayor.
The Mayor said the physician referred
to told him at the time he did not think
the children had small pox.
Mr. Bessman asked what was the or- j
dinauce in relation to reporting small !
pox cases.
The Chairman said the ordinance was
as follows:
Sec. 6. Any person or persons upon
whose lot or premises there shall exist
any small pox or varioloid or other con
tagions disease, shall report the same to 1
his Honor the Mayor, or the Chief of
Police, so soon as said infection shall !
make its appearance, or he, she, or they ]
shall be informed of the fact, under a j
penalty of not exceeding cue hundred j
dollars for each and every offense.
Sec. 7. The attending physician in j
all cases of small pox or varioloid, or
other contagions or epidemics, shall re- i
port the existing infection so soon as he j
shall be satisfied of the nature of the j
disease, under a penalty of not exceed
ing one hundred dollars for each aud
every offense.
Judge Levy said that there was also a
similar State law imposiug a flue of five
hundred dollars.
Mr. Meyer said that the eases at Mr.
Balk's had been treated by the physician
iu attendance as chicken pox. The j
physician's reason for believing this was j
because the child who first had it j
caught the disease from Mr. Voelker’s i
children, who were reported to have a 1
similar eruption. If he had known it j
was small pox he would not have attend
ed it at all.
Dr. Foster said that- a negro woman at i
Mr. Balk’s said she wanted to report the
cases to him, but Mrs. Balk would not
let her, telling her that the physician
said it was chicken pox and he ought to
know.
Judge Levy thought a guard should
be placed at Mr. Davis' and Mr. Hitt’s
i houses.
Mr. Meyersaiil those gentlemen would
not let anybody go about their houses.
In fact, it was very hard to get any one
to place anything near them,
Mr. Cogin moved that the Mayor em
ploy one or two physicians to vaccinate
all "the citizens. Adopted.
Mr. Ker Boyce moved that a yellow
dag be placed at each house where there
is small pox, not removable to the pes
house. Carried.
On motion, the Board adjourned.
A Touoh Question. — The lawyers of
Indianapolis are torturing their brains
over an extraordinary problem. Some
years ago a lady of that city was mar
ried, and four months thereafter sepa
rated from her husband, was divorced
and re-married in a month, and. four
months after the second marriage gave
birth to a child by her first husband,
i Quite recently the second husband pro
i cured a divorce, and the custody of the
I child was awarded to him. Now comes
the first husband aud claims the child.

HO! FOR THE GREAT WEST.
Grand Summer Excursion via Nash
ville, St. lxmis and Kansas City,
Through Tennessee, Kentucky, Mi’s
souii and lowa, to Omaha City, and
the Famous “Valley of the Platte,”
in Nebraska.
Responding to a desire expressed by
a large number of citizens of Atlanta
and surrounding country, to visit ‘he
State of Nebraska the coming Summer,
[ have secured on the several railways
ow excursion tickets, the excursion
party to leave this city on the evening
of the 19th of June. The route will be
:ui interesting one. From Atlanta via
the Western and Atlantic Road to Chat
tanooga; thence bv the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and St. Louis Railway to St.
Louis, crossing the Mississippi river at
Columbus, Kentucky. From St. Louis
we go by the St. Louis, Kansas City and
Northern Road, crossing the great Mis
souri river bridge at St. Charles, and
traversing a fine grain growing and
grazing section of Missouri. At Kansas
City, the Western terminus of this road,
we take the Kansas City and Council
Bluffs Road, passing through St. Jo
seph, Missouri, aud up the Missouri
River Valley iu lowa. The terminus of
this road, Council Bluffs, is just oppo
site tiie Missouri river from Omaha,
which latter jjlace we reach by crossing
one of the grandest railroad bridges on
the continent.
At Omaha I propose for the party to
rest for a day. Excellent hotel accom
modations here will make ourstay pleas
ant, while we visit the smelting works,
where gold and silver may be seen pour
ing in molten streams direct from the
crucibles, and-the immense machine and
car shops of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, besides other places of in
terest. From Omaha we will visit, by
special train, the most interesting ob
ject of the excursion, the beautiful
prairie lands of the Platte Valley. To
one who lias never seen a western prairie
country, the land-cape along our ride
now will be novel and grand. The
country is the most beautiful that I ever
looked upon. As far as the eye can reach
on either side an ocean-like expanse of
billowy green is interspersed with isl
ands of golden harvests aud dark, glit
tering corn ; while herds of sleek cattle
hri.wze upon the boundless pastures.
The lands everywhere are dark colored
and rich beyond description. The ad
miring tourist here appreciates a coup
let of Pabodie :
•Rich prairies, decked with flowers of gold,
Like sunlight oceaus roll afar."
The excursionists may stop at any
place on the road they desire. At Co
lumbus, a beautiful little city in the
heart of the valley, ninmy-two miles
from Omaha, conveyances will be fur
nished by the citizens to take the party
to the Pawnee Indian Reservation, where
we will see native Indian villages, and
visit the Government schools for in
structing tho Indian children, xvhich are
taught by several Southern young
ladies. The Pawnees are a small tribe,
perfectly peaceable, and supported by
the Government. This ride of twenty
two miles across the country is through
a magnificent farming section. The ex
cursion tickets take us to Grand Island,
a city one hundred and fifty four miles
from Omaha, from which place the
party can return at pleasure. The re
turn tickets will be good on any train
for thirty days. A day in St. Louis will
be one of the pleasant incidents of the
return. The entire distance traveled,
going and returning, xvill be nearly three
thousand miles. The time from Atlanta
to Omaha is about fifty-seven hours.
Pullman palace sleeping cars will run
through, without chauge, from Atlanta
to St. Louis, and from St. Louis to
Omaha. Excellent eating houses are
along the entire route, but the con
venient “lunch basket” affords less ex
pensive board on the route. With this
provision, the incidental expenses of the
trip will be light. The cost of a ticket
for the round trip (from Atlanta to
Grand Island, Nebraska, and return)
will be sixty dollars, and good for thirty
days. Sleeping car fare will be extra.
The cost of berth to Omaha will be
about six dollars. Two occupying a
berth will reduce this expense oue-lialf
to each. Quite a large number of citi
zens of Atlanta and merchants, farmers
and professional men in other sections
of the State are booked for the excur
sion. Several of the party contemplate
extending their trip to Salt Lake City—
-914 miles further. I will furnish excur
sion tickets from Grand Island aud te
turn—l,B2B miles—for one hundred dol
lars, to those who may wish to vi-it Salt
Lake. The time from Grand Island to
Salt Lake is 48 hours. The trip from
Atlanta to Grand Island, Neb., and re
turn, including tickets, sleeping car and
hotel fare, can be made for inside of one
hundred dolhrvs. Parties desiring to
join tho excursion, who have not already
corresponded \»th me, are requested to
do so at once, .aid those making appli
cation should state whether they wish
to take sleeping car. 1 would like to be
notified before the 10th of June by all
wishing tickets. I will endeavor to pro
cure excursion tickets to Atlanta, to
connect with tickets from here, for par
ties that may be made up in other cities.
At this date, May 20th, over eighty ap
plications have been made for tickets.
Prominent members of the legal and
medical professions and merchants of
Atlanta and several other cities are of
the party. Address applications for
tickets or further information to
Sam’l A. Echols,
Atlanta, Ga.
[From the Atlanta Herald.]
In response to a desire on the part of
a large number to visit Nebraska this
Summer, Mr. Echols has made a second
trip West, and secured from the several
railways reduced rates for an excursion
party, which will leave Atlanta on the
evening of the 19th June. Full particu
lars will be found in another column.
No better man than Mr. Echols could
lead the excursion. Ho is wcdl acquaint
ed with the route and with Nebraska,
from his travels in the State, and his
arrangements will make the trip a pleas
ant one to tho party. A number of our
leading citizens are booked for the ex
cursion.
Georgia Coal For Port Royal.— A
train (ten cars) of coal, forwarded by
the Dade Coal Mine Company, of which
Gov. Joseph E. Brown is President, to
Port Royal, reached this city yesterday
morning by way of the Georgia Railroad.
It will leave on the Port Royal Railroad,
this morning, for Port Royal. Each car
contains ten tons, making one hundred
tons in all. The coal is intended for the
use of steamers stopping at Port Royal.
It is the first shipment of Georgia coal
made for that purpose. We trust that
it is but the forerunner of many more.
Georgia Coal. —The Atlanta Consti
tution, speaking of the recent shipment
of Georgia coal to Port Royal, says:
The railroads are carrying all coal
from the mines for ocean steamers, to
Savannah and Port Royal, at -j of one
cent, per ton per mile, with a
view to build up the business. This is
cheaper than tho Pennsylvania roads
carry it for the like use.
It is an interesting fact to notice the
increase of the consumption of the coal
iu Georgia for the last few years. Iu
1871 the Western and Atlantic Railroad
carried in round numbers 2,900 car
loads; in 1872, it carried 4,200 car loads;
aud in 187.3, it earned 10,000 car loads.
Civil Rights. —The Macon Telegraph
and Mi ssenger says: A conversation sub
stantially as follows was overheard be
tween a couple of negroes yesterday :
“Say, Bill, when dis civil r : gilts done
passed fore Congress, do you know what
l'se gwine to do ?”
“No, Sam; what yer gwiuc to do ?”
“l’se gwine to go down to de Brown
House aud take dinner—settiu at de
• same table wid dem white folks. And
; den I’il set out in front and smoke my
1 segar jes as big as any of ’em.”
“O'way, nigger. If you ’tempts to
! eat dinner at de Brown House I bets
yon eats supper iu h—l.”
A recent transaction iu the Criminal
Court of Memphis illustrates the spirit
of barbarism aud lawlessness which yet
prevails on some of the Mississippi
steamers. Henry Powers, acting cap
tain of the steamer Clarksville, was ar
raigned for the lynching of a Hebrew
named Samuel Buhrman for alleged lar
ceny of jewelry. Some jewelry being
missing, Buhrman w ; « suspected, and
was swung up three times with a rope to
extort a confession. To save his life he
said he had stolen the articles and
thrown them overboard. He was then
put on the Mississippi shore, his hands
tied behind him. Buhrman, who is the
son of an insurance agent in Louisville,
declares that he made the pretended con
fession from fe-ir, and was innocent.
Powers was held for appearance in the
Criminal Court, and has also been ar
rested in a civil suit in which SIOO,OOO
damages are claimed.
Wilkie Collins has returned to Eng
land. Sow we may look forward with
trepidation for the coming volume of
“American Notes.” Collins is a strong
writer and if lie tells the truth, he will
score society here with a vengeance. He
has a flue field, and has had ample op
portnnities for feeding upon the neces
sary material for making a readable
book. We only hope he will lay the
lash ou without mercy. Qur social
toadies deserve a castigation such as
they have not received since Charles
Dickens’ first visit.
The Spalding Greys have adopted a
uniform of cadet grey cloth, trimmed
with black and bullion lace.

No Rain Yet —The Crops.
This is the twenty-seventh day of the
drouth, and there is no signs of rain
above or in the dispatches from the
Washington war office. The crops every
where are beginning to need it badly,
with the exception of cotton. The diy
times we are having is bring it out
greatly,
Macon at a Musical Feast.
Last night the people of Macon, to
the number of seven or eight hundred,
assembled at the new Grand Lodge Hall
and heard one of the monthly concerts
of the Harmonic Society. The Associa
tion is composed of the first rate talent
of the town. There is not a Ned Brace
in the concern. Some of the female
voices are really wonderful, aud would
create a sensation upon any stage in the
world, so it is said.
The Apalachicola Party.
The fishim party for general purposes
which left here two weeks ago for Apa
lachicola will be home to-morrow, Satur
day. Nothing has beeu heard from
them since they took tho boat on the
Chattaliooehe. Your readers ought to
hold a gentleman by the name of P.
Walsh responsible for not knowing the
details of this excursion.
A Cold Blooded Murder.
This afternoon one of the most cold
blooded murders that ever stained the
annals of civilization was committed one
and a half miles from Macon, on the
Cross Keys Road. This morning Wil
liam D. Mitchell, a planter of Twiggs
county and a highly respected citizen,
came to Macon for the purpose of mak
ing some warehouse arrangements. Af
ter getting through with h : business
with Messrs. Saulsbury, Ret, ,_js & Cos.,
he got on his horse, and, iu company
with a neighbor, a Mr. Walls, star tell
home. This was about one o’clock this
afternoon. When Mitchell and Walls
reached a point near where the dirt road
crosses the railroad, and whilst opposite
a dense thicket, a shot was heard from
it. Looking iu that direction Walls
saw a white man, whom lie recognized,
running off with a shot gun in Lis hand.
Mitchell reeled a moment in his saddle,
then fell to the ground dead. Walls ex
amined the wound, and found that he
was shot through the head with buck
shot. He immediately galloped back
to the city aud gave the alarm, when a
police was at once started for the
ground. They have not as yet returned.
Walls up to this time has refused to tell
the name of the man who shot him. At
the moment of closing my letter it is
supposed that the man who shot him is
well known, and it is said that an old
difficulty had existed between them for
sometime. But of this nothing is now
positively known. Mr. Mitchell was a
young man, about thirty years old, aud
leaves a family.

the brewery affray, is recovering.

KING RULE.
Tiie Barnwell Thieves— 1 Judge” Huge
for Governor—Carolina Newspapers
—Blodgett.
[SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE chronicle and
SENTIN L. "j
Barnwell, S. C., May 29, 1874.
The tax payers of Barnwell county
were made to feel better yesterday on
hearing Judge Maher sentence those
three festive County Commissioners to
the penitentiary.
Robinson and Cloy got their full des
erts, but the Judge was too light on the
Reverend Caesar, we all thought, in com
mitting him for but thirteen months and
fining him but one hundred dollars.
Judge Maher is not suspected of, having
• penned any letter to effect a coramuta
tation of tho sentence of those worthies,
ala Mackey, to our wily Governor, who
is so uncertain a character that he is
found on with the fox as often as with
the confiding goose that laid him the
egg— u °t golden—in Orangeburg. This
tho said confiding—as well as the Gov
ernor’s individual “goose”—the tax
payers hope to “ cook” iu due time.
Pardon —you and your readers—this
prostitution of wit, but, in au atmos
phere of prostitution, it isn’t out of
place.
I observed iu the Beaufort Commer
cial that some simple man speaks of
Judge Maher for next Governor, but
Maher has no record that will fit him
for that office iu the present political
status of South Carolina. The Colum
bia Union-llerald names a worthier
banner bearer, around whom “the
party” may joyfully rally, in “Judge
Iloge for Governor, as a staunch Repub
lican, whose record is without stain.”
Iloge is the thief who held the Supreme
Court gagged iu the Barnwell-Blackville
Court House case until his bribe of one
thousand dollars was paid for a decision.
This and other achievements of like ilk
go to demonstrate that he will be, if he
gets the nomination, the right man in
the right place to steal.
A serious question to me, and one in
which I would fain have some dispas
sionate advice is, what disposition is to
be made of the convicts in this State if
the ) rosecution of State aud county
officials for stealing continues? They
all steal and take bribes, and you may
make sure that the friends of Moses anil
Robinson and the Reverend Caesar will
retaliate on the witnesses—in many in
stances thieves themselves—who were
instrumental in exposing their favorites.
Then, too, the newspaper men are
particeps criminis with the Executive,
legislative, and judicial thieves to the
extent of takiug, aye, demanding bribes.
When I learned that the newspaper men
of the State had pretty generally “un
loaded” their dead weight of common
honesty, I felt worse than your Bullock
did when he sent those telegrams from
Washington to Fid us Achates Blodgett,
for I knew then that all, absolutely all,
was lost ! I felt more miserable than
the said Blodgett must have felt in the
perusal of those passionate wire cries.—
As I am speaking on the subject
of thieves—howbeit of South Carolina
thieves—l will mention en passant
that' a gentleman informed me that
Blodgett’s riches, which seemed to be
great when he first settled up there,
seem now to have taken to themselves
wings. He says that Captain B. would
find it almost as difficult now to “raise
the wind” as to raise a company of
Blodgett Guards. From this digres
sion among the expatriated black sheep
of Georgia, revenont a nos moutons noir
of South Carolina. I was speaking of
the newspaper men. Riding along with
a county official not loug since, whom I
had joined in the highway, he said:
“The papers are all subsidized that can
be bought over; I know that the leading
daily in this State has twice been bribed,
once it was paid SB,OOO hush money.”
One who is behind the scenes indicated
how I might always know when a news
paper had “seen light.” He said :
“Whenever you see in the column of lo
cals a note to the effect that “the Hon.
Julius Caesar A., or Col. Iscariot 8., or
Judge R. B. Carpenter-of-his-own-infa
my, is in town and looking well, and
stopping at ‘ Thieves’ Den’ you may
feel assured that the paper containing
the information has been weighed in the
balance, and found wanting from 8500
to $2,500 (if country), aud from sl,oooto
SO,OOO (if Metropolitan). The “personal”
congratulatory of “the Hon. well,
thief" is sufficiently specific—is expo
nential that there has been the requisite
unknown quantity of inouey subtracted
from the Treasury; while the “late
printing fund” account has, by a coin
cidence, been commensurably swelled.
This is what I have been told ; but what
I know is that, with so much of stealing,
bribery, fraud and corruption of every
kind rife in the State, tin re are but few
items of exposure in the newspapers to
greet the eye of the general reader in
the Commonwealth, and swell the tro
phies of reportorial enterprise so dear to
the heart of Jenkins ! Bocrbon.

IMPORTANT TO THE SENSITIVE.
PERSONS WITH ACTIVE DRAINS AND OF
a delicate organization should never be sub
jected to violent purgation or any other treat
ment calculated to prostrate them. Leeching,
cupping, starving, and intestinal rasping, are
of doubtful expediency in any case, but they
are almost certain death to the sensitive and
fragile. What such persons need is stimula
tion. and the veiy best invigorant they can
take is Hostetier's Stomach Bitters. To
give depleting medicines to the nervous, the
debilitated, the infirm, the emaciated, the de
sponding, is like firing broadsides into a sink
ing ship Thousands of dyspeptics are killed
every year by medicines tlia sap the physical
and constitutional stamina which, if reinforced
by that powerful vegetable tonic, would soon
prove an overmatch for the disease. It is true
that the bowels require to be relieved aid
regulated, aud the liver controlled, as well as
the stomacli to be toned aud the system
strengthened; and let it be borne in mind that
the Bitters accomplish these objects gently
and surely. mvJl-suwefr&w

There has been no materi and change in the
tone of our provision market during the past
week. Busiuoss has been very light and more
limited than that of the previous week, the
bulk of the trading being done between city
merchants. 9 hero seems to be considerable
pressure to sell, but 'he scarcity of money
limits the demand for different articles to that
merely for the supply of immediate wants
of planters and others. Prices in general have
experienced but little if any change at all.
Bacon and salt meats are more quiet, but un
changed in prices. Grain—Corn is loss active
at easier rates and supply better. Wheat has
had a very quiet market the past week. Prices
are about the same as at lipd review. Flour
remains quiet and unchanged; stock fair and
demand only moderate. Hay—Stock good and
market unohange 1. Light country produce—
eggs, butter and chickens—are in good demand

GREENE’S
OXFGIffIO BITTERS.
The stomach is one of the most delicate or
gans of the human system ; aud the
ble food crowded into it by the requirements of
modern society keep it in
A STATE OF CHROHC DISORDER,
Which is followed by are Hort to tonics and al
teratives for relief. It unfortunately happens,
however, that many of the medicines used for
this purpose contain alcohol, which, poured
into a diseased stomach, produces irritation,
orevten infiam&tion, and does more injury than
good.
Oxygenated Bitters Contain No Al
cohol,
But are a purely medicinal preparation, which,
in oaseß of Dyspepsia, Hoartburn, Indigestion,
and other like disorders, at once restores the
stomach to its
NATURAL CONDITION OF HEALTH.
The OXYGENATED BITTERS have been the
most popular remedy for the above complaints
for the last thirty years, aud stiil maintain
the r unrivalled pofulabity.
