Indee 1 we hope Mr Tillman's fjuslitneats will gtyejhim all the in for mation they can upon which to base coun ter charged of fraud and intimidation practiced by Radicals at, before, and since the election-towards colored Democrats itt particular. Of tiii3 latter work we isov there has been a great deal in our own Coan! v. The frauds of which Smalls pretends to give instances in every county in the Con xreasional District, are intimidation and violence, falsification of returns by the Ci^cimi?sioners bf eb-ction ; refusing tb ?ou?t precincts that ought ta have been counted ; stuffing the ballot-boxes with Democratic votes, and then drawing out 'tfapablican votes lo make thc- number ?a" tu?otr. correspond with the names ou thc ?poUIut; notholdlUg polis which should ?have been held ; inserting fictitious names on the poli lists : .illegal voting: refining the votej o:' qualified voterei ; Obstructing tie F;iJt-raPelec'.ion officers; ^managers of elections ai! Democrats and active in the interest of thc Democratic candidate; Aod these charges are repeated over and over again, until one ceases to reii furth er, disgusted with the combined weakness "*~*nd falsehood ol' the whole affair. Judge'.Hughe* on Hie Failure ot' thc Pied-nota ei Arlington. lu the*,United States [Circuit Court in .Riehmond, on the 2-'ird of December, Judge Hughes delivered an opinion in the case of the insolvent Piedmont & Arling ton Life Insurance Company in thc mat ter ( f appointing a receiver as prayed for by a number of policy-holders. Upon the qu stion whether or not the Court, would allow the c mpany (o appoint its own re ceiver, Judge Hughes savs: I think that lb?.-' uie:e fact of the failure of a life insu rer/.-: company is prima facie proof that its operations have been conducted in a ftadulent manner, and if .he failure is not explained by some great casualty, suchras a widespread pestilence or sudden finan cial convulsion or physical calamity, I think it is pei' se proof of fraud. I will not pretend to say that it creates presamp tion of moral turpitude in the managers of the company, but it certainly does of constructive fraud; that is to say, of that ,6nancial imbecility or recklessness or ex 'trava^auce, or that gross negligence, which is equivalent in its consequences to fraud and which tho Court is bound to regard as constructive fraud. Would the Court be justified in allowing a trustee appointed by euch a company iu the very deed in which it admitted its insolvency, to remain JD custody of the effects and to adminis ter? Could the Court expect to attract and relain the coofider.ee of the public and of its suitors if it should sanction such an action'.' I think not. The insolvency and abnegation of the company left its ef fects in the legal acd rightful custody of no one, and the Court must at once pro vide tor the emergency by appointing a receiver. The judge then announced the appointment of A. L. Doolwere, of Rich mond, us the receiver of the company. Immigrants tor South Carolina! The Greenville liewa of the 18th mst.*; tay* thu Maj.

An amendment having been proposed to the Anti-Whiskey bill, giving the pro ceeds of the State license tD thc towns in stead of Che counties, Senator Collison opposed it vigorously. He, for himself? favored total prohibition, and would like to abolish these cross roads doggeries, but as a friend of this bill he opposed its emasculation, and he hoped th it it would not be imperilled. Senator Fishburue said that the whis key drinking in groat part was by coun try ?Toople whon they went to the low-ns and tho county should receive tho tax. The general and legislative appropria te on bills amount to some S73?\ OOO, and to inset this a State tax of 5 mills has hew levied.

Dr. Strom's bill to make it a misde meanor to entice or persnade a laborer t ) leave tho emploj-ment of another, or t ) employ a laborer under contract with a ?other, also passed. This is a very im p ii taut bill and will make labor more reliable in the future. We will publish thc full text very soon. ?Mr. Denny's .?tock Law BUI lor Coop er arid (?ray Townships. Acting upon a petition wisely confided to his hands by many citizens of Cooper and (hay Townships, the Hon. Tillman It Henny introduced into the House a bill asking that the Stock Law be ex tended oS'?r certain parts of those Town ships. This bill became a Jaw. And we will now attempt to define the territory subject ta its operations. The whole of Coopa.? excepting tho small triangular wedge running in between Coleman and Dean, East of Halfway-Swamp Creek ; and the Norlli'-ru third of Gray, tiie lino running across from Mr. Nat Hender son's, on the Abbeville line, to the'Tom Payne place, in tbc extreme south-East ern corner of Cooper, and leaving Trapp's Mill a mile nr two out. The Western boundary nf this ten ?tory is a perfectly straight Un*, joining Abbeville, from is land Ford to Mr. Nat. Henderson's. Tho Stock]Law fence is to be built by the 1st April, after which the law will go into immediate opera ion. And thia ls the first onward rush of the great tidal wave which is evidently destined, ere long, to overflow the whole of Edgcfield. As soon as we mn procuro the text yf the bili, we will publish it in full." Senator McCall's Immigration Rill. One of tho wisest measures carried through at the late session was the much discussed bill of Senator McCall, of Marl boro, exempting immigrants from taxa tion. This bill provides foran exemp tion from taxation, except for ?ebool pur pose*, of tue real estate and invested cap ital of immigrants into the Slate for 3 years from their s; ttleinant. Thc Amended Homestead. Th? constitutional amendment relative t ) the Homestead, which was voted upon at the laje election and ndnptecbuy a very large majority of the people bl the State, waa ratified nt the Jato session. Tn effect it gives to the head of every family in South Cand?na a Homestead of one thou smd dollars of real estate and five bun di cd dollars of personal property. Up der the law as it formerly stood the Homestead was the same-One thousand dollars of real estate and live hundred dollars of personal property, but under the construction given hythe Courts io the Act creating tho Homestead, no ono was entitled to Homestead who did not own real estate, no matter what might be tue amount of Ids personal property. Now, if one has not real estate, he is still entitled to live hundred dollars of per sonal property as a Homestead exemp tion. The Homestead clause is one of tho wisest and most humane provisions o1^ thc Constitution, and the ratification of an amendment which will the better se cure the poople of the State in the enjoy ment of it is a step in the right direction. Anything that will secure tho rights of property and at the same time relieve the wants of society is lo the lino of pro gress. Miscellaneous.

A correspondent of the Columbia Reg ister, writing from Chester iin?Vr dale of 28?1 .Pec 1SS0, gives this feaiful account: Whiskey, the alarming and increasing evil of the town, was drank hereon Christ inas day as freely as water, being given gratis to ail who won! ' partake, and,long tei'or'- night-fall by far from a fetus of-the inhabitants had fallen victims to the gionnd tinder the damning influence of the poisoning fluid. So horrible find dis grdcefol wns thc* scene everywhere pro sented on the public streets that tho most temperate element of the town bave aris en in one solid phalanx and are deter mined to^niake a struggle, desperate as it luav" bei'toan^jgd thc morals of the town Rod pot an eternal check to bar rooms and promiscuous whisky drinking The plan that they intend working is to nomi nate and run for intendant and Wardens at th" next municipal election, which comes off on the 12th of January, ISSI, . what will be styled and known" as the "coy ficKet. So encouraged are they since commencing this laudable 'work that they are sanguine of success. ! J'jst think, there aro nineteen hundred inhabitants in this town and eighteen places where whiskey is obtainable, twelve '< of which are bar rooms. i\row, starting . fi om the public square, the centre of the , town, one can scarcely walk a hundred pacts in any direction without passing a ' oar roc m and hearing* profanity in tho I highest "degree issuing forth from its de- t grading walls in shoats of bacchanalian ( revelry. Such scenes and morals can only bo J amended by the success nf this noble moVemfipt against whiskey. j Not AH the Language!* ot'AH thc Con tinent!1! i What shall we say aoout the weather this bringing down of Vermont Into South .Carolina- when all. the languages of nd the continent* woujd/fail-to do'jus. tice to the subject?

The former was boin in 1707, and emi grated early in life to EdgeS?ld District, S. C., and settled on Sleepy Creek. The maiden name of his wife, Elizabeth, was Harlan, and she was ho n i:i 1770 By whom, and when, the marriage ceremony was performed, this, deponent saith not. The results are, however, generally and widely known. Thirteen son3 and two daughter* were the product of this happy marriage. Twelve sons and ono daughter jived to mature age, and wre married; the daughter to a Mr. McDowell. TI.e nameR of these sons, and the number of cni:dren boru to each onp, are given in th?" following (able viz; . . John Onzis, 8 children : David Ouzts, 6 Henry Ouzts, 7 " Martin Ouzis, ll George Ouzts, 7 " peter Ouzts, 8 Jacob Ouzte, 10 " Abram Ouz's, ?

The daughter, Elizabeth, was ni urned ta a Mr. William Mci)jwelr. and the fruits Of this marriage are to hf. found in eleven children, fifty-six grand children, and for ty great grand children, summing np the neat little aggregate of one bundled and nine persons, including tho original pair. We have authentic and full information concerning two or thfc only of the origi nal (w<d ve sons; and ol' these we will present only one, as th? r^prcs'-ntativ* of the who!?, viz : MA?TIX OUZTS AND HIS WIPB MARV. She wu? originally a Crol!, and is still living, as is also her husband, now about eighty-four years old. Ot their'eleven children, five are sons, and six daughters, all of whom have beeu married, and some have du?d. Their record runs thus, viz: Original pair, 2 Children, ll. Grand-children, l?.'l Great Grand-children, 44 Sum Total, 120. Of the other orig nal eleven brothers, we have no record, beyond their im medi ite descendant, as given above. If they wore all blassod in the sams degree as our venerable and much respected friend, Mardu Ouzts, and his wife Mary,, then ihere should. b?

Let Anstice Be Dune to the Dart Corner. MKSSIIS. EDITORS: Your kindly notice of complaints from this Ride, and your I sympathetic words in our behalf, prompt 09 to ask other favors at your hands. Can you, who livest the fountain of informa tion for Edgefieid people, tell us: Shall tho Dark Corner ever b? shunned and pass ed by with Scorn and neglect by all men, for A^Jfa^of prtioticable trodes of egress and ingresa lo this portion of the County? Must we ever be excluded from the con bideration of all County officials save and except the tax-gatherer? Because we are called "Tba Dark Corner,'' are we tore main so m fact? Is it, do you think, a part of the official duty of the County Commissioners to help on our unenlight ened condition, and to make that darkness visible by tho course pursued towards us? You wi'l remember that early in the year, the public spirit of these officiais was magnanimous enough, in appearance, to take in the whole County, including Dark Corner. Bridges were advertised for two points on Stevens' Creek, and were actually let to the lowest bidder; and one of these bridges was built. But the other, and perhaps the most important, does not appear, or is it ever heard of. The letting seems to have boen a conlracl, bona fdr, and a bridge was to have been completed by October last. Now, friends of the Ad vert?cr, and of the people, including "Th Dark Corner, can you, will yon, tell u why this is so? And if it ie to be so .il ways.' Mow that we have almost, a new Board made broader and more solid by the con tinuance of " old Reliable," may we not venture to' hope for something generous or ask for something just, towards th Dark Corner ?; Something that will aid in making Dark Corner a misnomer and giv log us at least the let bridge, and with ii tree and easy access to EdgefisH over ou own highways! Then with the completion of our rail road lo A ugo-la, yon may no longer call us the denizens of Dark Corner, but dis tmgaish us from thc remainder of Edge fie.d and the rest of the world, aa citizen ol '* Lciufor.iu." We are not boastful we are not proud,-that is, very proud and we try not to be rjnerulons ; but iv do mail', o bridge. DA ru COHKP.B For the Advertiser.

Up to thia writing, 1 am uninformed as to how our Edgelield delegates stand upon tho recotd, they having pledged themselves to h-t the Stock Law severely ahme. Our ''Stonewall," I bear, was sick when the bill passed. Ile is weli now, and I hope will not think hard of me for saying that I am glad, as hr had to be ?rir.h, that it happened just nt that time. Some have raised the cry that there are those within the bounds of the dividing fence t hat must perish, as their only means of subsistence consists of a few cows. If their cream jars aie us near empty as mine is to-night, and has been for some time, the grim mons'er is near, very near their door. A word of consolation to those poor people perhaps would not be amicS Not a single death from starvation has occurred ir. any of the Counties where thi Stock Law k in operation. The Poor Houses have no more inmates to-day than before the law passed. There was beard that same cry of starvation in Anderson, Abbeville, Greenville, and ?ll the Counties that have the Stock Law. The result is as above stated ; and I know " whereof I affirm." 1 have read every article pro and con about thc Stock Law that has been pub lished in the Advertiser, (and ail other pa pers I read) and every article against it has been deficient (lo me) in force of ar gument. Now, Messrs. Editors, 1 want you to get the- most bitter opponent of the Slock Law you can find, and bring bim np to this no-fence country next summer, and if he can't see enough here lo convince him that it's a good thing, tarn him over to me, and I will take him into Abbeville, and if that won't do, tn Anderson, and j buck throucxh Greenville, Laurers and Newberry. And then if he is not convert ed, I will pay his passage across Saluda, j and tell him to go home, sandpaper his eyes, and come again ono year hence.
