The absence of G4A. Bli Warren was remarked hist; week. Only twice we be lieve during the present generation has ho fulled to attend Laurens Superior Court.

By some mismanagement the mail route from Dublin to Red Bluff has gone ihtb operation, while there j? no established Post#»fficc at Condor. This evil will soon be corrected, but in the mean time we hope all our subsclbers who expect to get their mail at Condor will notify us. We intend to send a Condor package by the mail car rier outside the mail pouch until the office is established, which will answer very well for a while. Wc will get out copies of the Post sufficient on Tuesday morning to accommodate our subscribers along the East side of the Oconee, and send them by the Red Bluff mail. We intend also to send a John Woodard package and a Beachum package. Parties concerned will please note the above and govern them selves accordingly. They will thus secure Ihc-PoBT damp from the press. COURT WEEK.

Another effort was made to release from jail the Mrs. Perrys on a writ of habeas corpus. Tlie case was argued, but Judge Pate has not yet rendered hjs decision. A true-bill was found against Andrew Moye who was charged with killing Ches ter at Colley’s last summer. Judge Pale could not try the case, Moye being a rela tive of his, nnd an effort.was made to get Judge Johnson hero to try it, and, that failing, Judge ,Thompkins was scut for,' hut lio too Was otherwise engaged, The above qrc the cases of more general Interest disposed of during tlio. week.

Tho practical results of Edison^ new discoyory in electric light will soon bo introduced to tho public. Thoso who have soon it report that the light is much brighter and at tho same time softer than gas, while its cost is not to bo one third that of coal gas; with a prospect that with the .parly introducion of improved means of generating electricity the expense can be still further roducod. Tho light gives out no heat and its amount can lie regulated us easily as Begging For Money. A Washington special says; “Sev eral of tho Republican candidates for Congress were at the roonis of the Republican Campaign Committee on ‘Saturday beggiug for money. A Montgomery News. are still on hand, afid those were placed at their disposal, but they all seemed to think that money would go much farther than documents. They Svorc compelled to go away dis appointed, as the exchequer is emp ty, and signs of replenishing are not promising. For any use that the committee is likely to be, with no funds in its possession, it might as well close its doors now, and not wait imtil tho final overwhelming defeat in November.” Ourtpwn islonoly anddeserted this week, 110 lawyer nOr docjior in town and tho new- diing store has 'been moved from Red Oak sti’cct to parts unknown, and tho druggist’s sign hangs reversed on a rail fonco., Judge Jolm McRae, who is ever kind to the needy, went up to Dub lin last week to look after the inter ests of Mrs. Coney who is entitled by law to a pension from tho Govern ment.
