We know nothing of the evidence which is to be produced against him, and it would ill become us to prejudge the case or make ~y remarks in reference to his guilt or innocence. We can only hope that for his own sake and the honor of the judiciary.of the State he may be able to prove the charges unfounded. The CaiUou. We draw attention to the com munication of our correspondent, "Stilma." Although we cannot coin cide with some of his views, we pay reiUark that it is now, as we have said before, our only duty to elect men of honesty and judgment to represent us in the Democratic State Convention, and leave it to them to shape our future course. The discus ion.-perhaps the passionate discus Ajon-of questions which may arise in the future is unwise; it may produce unngessary strife and irritation and impede a vigorous club organization. Afficient unW the day is the evil C .thereof. Let us wait until our best wn meet and let us abide by their jadgment. -*0*kt- Ways. The majority of the Legislature asting found out what a predicament Sthey hive bIBotied themselves into by eectig Moses, Jr., and Whipper, and seeing no way of directly undoing what tey have done, and which deed a they,no idoubt, are sorry for now-not urn aeoount of its intrinsic meanness, but on aecount of the effect it has had u the prospect of the party-are making'desperate eforts to get Whip per and Moses'out of the way indi rerAly~ The bill substituted~for the one previously submitted to recircuit ee8tanyboldly'desfroys the fist and .3d -ndieial CJireiit fdrHhe sole pur *pose of outigstlie above named in competent:Judges elect.

"The procurator or abbot of the famous monastory of Le Grade Cha treuse, in France, died recently. From P business point of view, the name of Garcier was a world-wide known trade mark. Without his autograph no bottle of the renowned liqueur known as Chartreuse-green, white or yellow -could be deemed genuine; and by the sale of this same cordial the bro therhood of La Grande- Chartreuse have contrived, it is said, to realize for a long time past a net income of ?80,000 a year." La Grande Chartreuse is the oldest and most famous of Carthusian monas eries. It is situated in a picturesque ut wild and desolate region on the 5ummit of a steep rock at an elevation af about 4,000 feet above the level of the sea, within fourteen miles of arenoble, in the French department Af Isere. This monastery is the resi lence of the general of 4he. Carthusian )rder. The discipline of the Carthu ;ians is very severe. The cordial which ;hey manufacture is said to be the inest in the world, and from. the place a likewise called 'Grande Chartreuse.' ffhether every particle made is sold ind exported or whether an occasional trop finds its way down those penitent 3harthusian throats between vespers and matins, history does not record. We remember having seen a picture epresenting two monks in the cellar >f this very Grande Chartreuse pour ng the precious liqueur from a pecu iarly shaped bottle, their eyes spark ing with delight. We have always had ur doubts whether there was at that ime in the refectory a weary traveller raiting for refreshment. A Politician. Mr. .Blaine is .probably the finest pecimen of a politician, para and imple, to be found in this countrx at he:present time. [St. Louis Republican (InL) If the above paragraph men.that din. Blaine as a politician is pure and imple, then we must consider the ut erances of thie Republican as one of he.finest pieces.of irony we have ever een. If he~, -however, means that drn. Blaine is afine specimen of arman rho is a politician and nothing else, re fully agree with him ii.the Repub ican will allow us to define "politician" sy the dictionary of Mr. Blaine's ac ions. According to that standard a olitician is a being who only by ex ess of politeness can go by the name f man. "Has the politician-pure ad simple-a soul ?" would be a sub st of a few lines of argument by the thor of "Ariel." The politician ure and simple-is entirely ignorant f anybody in this world, except his arty and of his party but himself; ar this party, thus consolidated and dividualized, he cheats, prevari ates, insinuates, wriggles, lies and iggles. The politician-pure and mple - is the great intellectual eight-of-hand man, the Signor Blitz F the stump, and the Houdin of ongress. He is a noiseless sneak, imy as a newly-greased moccasin, and Streacherous as a tiger in the jungles. he politician-pure and simple the curse of the age-and we hope at this blessed Centennial year will. estroy the whole brood of them down their twenty-second cousins. Gamblers Routed. RICHM1OND, VA., February 17. 'he movements against gambling in1 is city, 'which has been in operation >r some time past, are being still vig rously pushed. Within the past few ays a number of gamblers and others ave been indicted by the grand jury F the Hustings Court, and to-day oseph Graves, of the sporting fra inity, was tried, in his absence, on ie charge of dealinig faro. He was und guilty anid sentenced to jail for x months and $100 fine. W. H. owle, a member of -the Legislature< -om Alexandria, plead guilty of play g draw poker, and was fined $30.i eorge S. Stevens, Judge of the Nel >n County Court, charged with play ig poker, not answering when called, ad judgment enterd against him in s'o ases, with $4 fine in each. Eight r ten more indictments remain to be ied. All the gambling houses in ichmond have been closed some time,1 ad nearly all the sports have left the ty. If the above mentioned birds of rey intend to wing their way south-1 ard they need not stop in Columbia. u the first instance, our legislators ever gamble ; secondly, they have ambled away all the money they had,t d lastly, there are a number of hun- t ry sharks with mouths wide open Preseikity Turkey--Joh Bil .Uugs-CathoIec Fagr,. Like our youngfriend J. S. of Pros. perity, who OCCAMONALLY takes a run up to 1ie city Newberry, we occA SIONALLY slip out of harness and run down to Columbia. Strangely coinci dent, we two met on Tuesday last on the down passenger; he had turkey on the brain. with a standing invitation to sit at the hospitable board of Mr. G. S. Chappell-mine host of the Prosperity dinnnr house-and was on the way with cheerful thought intent,.for in his mind's eye was a noble turkey. We too had an invitation to stop when pssing. It was our day for passing. down the road, and as we never "pass" such invitations except for good reasons. concluded to stop and make a few "passes"l at Mr.Chappell's good things. The only difference between us was that J. S. knew all about the turkey and we did not; and he had seven miles the advantage of us in dwelling upon the blissful opportunity; consequently the only chance left us to get even was to take in more turkey. If the reader feels Zurious to know who got the best of the bird let him ask Capt. Isaacs, the conductor, who played a conspicuous part in the work of demolition. Chap pell had three hard cases that day. If he furnishes the same every day-we propose to pass down at least once a week. If it were not for the dread of sur feiting the reader with too much of a good thing, we would add a few lines on this popular subject in reference to the good cheer found at the Mansion House, so bountifully dispensed by that indomitable little lady Mrs. Breazeale,. but not now, some other time for that. Columbia was in a festive-and en thused conditiota on our arrival, there were three important matters on the carpet-outside of politics and excite ment in Court and Legislature-Josh Billings, the Catholie Fair and mill pond oysters. Josh seemed to have the inside track. Every other mai asked, "Did you come to see Josh?" Even our highly esteemed friend and compounder of digs opposite the town clock was running over with Josh. Under such a pressure it would have been folly to resist. AU the posts in town had Josh on them, the windows were full of Josh. Therefore, we went to see Josh in company with the aforesaid man of pills and a distinguished mem ber of the Newberry Bar. Luckily, we were late in getting in-and did not suf fer so much as those who went earlier and got a full benefit. Thirty minutes: worth fell to our share, and at the con lsion, whenJosh said that. if a man failed to strik&oi:after boring half an hour he had either a dull gimlet or was working in the wrong place and had better stop, and did stop, we three looked at each other' and smiled for the first time. We had been spell-bound and felt relieved. Billings',lugubrious counte ance, with hollow cheeks and deep sets eyes, together writh his melancholy voice which seemed to say, "Hark,. from the ombs," had a wonderfully sad effect pon us three. We really felt sorry hat it was out of our power to laugh, and resolving ourselves into a commit ee of the whole, it was unanimously. agreed that Mr. Billings was a first rate speller and his proverbs many of them fll of wisdom, but as a lecturer he failed in that true inwardness which was expected, and that his true out wardness was very ancient and fossil ike. After this experience our compounder uggested a visit to the Catholic Fair and some oysters fried by ye fair ladie -there was no. dissenting voice-we were in need of a change-something bright, lhvely, inspiring, which a sight of he youthful colleens, and mature but esg charming matrons would surely afford, and something beside for the nner man. We went in and realized oth. The scene was charming! Bright yes, sparkling eyes, rosy cheeks, faces rimful of fun and frolic, tasty dresses, aunty caps, made up altogether a pie ure worth seeing. It was not difficult o imagine that there were assembled in hat gathering "all the sweet faces from imerick races," witb "Kathleen.sMa ourneen," and "Kate Kearney," all the ay from "the banks of: Kiflarney," ad in course, as an Irishman is. brim rul'of love and devotion to the girls, bere was no lack of them on that occa ion, in short, the "boys were all there" o. And then there was ravishing usic, and glittering articles for raffle ad sale, hanging this side and that, and oating as it were all around, and tables aden with beautiful cakes, and young isses with eyes in flame and hands . ull of waiters containing ice cream, akes, oysters and many other things, lbowing their sweet way through the elighted crowd, while the delicious ;trains of the splendid band softly stole n and out, over and under, up the mid le and down again, until everybody's1 eels seemed to be under some magic fluence. We had almost forgot that oating harmoniously with the music 1 rhich got into the soul and effected the eel, was the exquisite and impossible describe odour of a score of delicate iands,which entering through the nos rils, settled down into the stomach 10 thought of the melancholy Billings en. We were content. In the next oom the light fantastic~ held carnival re did not take any of that in our'n. tick a pin here, reader. Our trio, after pleasant interview with Father Fnller on of the station and Father Folchi of I e mission, took up that pai-t of the rogramme reanting to noysters. The C subject, having already ocedpi more space than wa intended, and reluctant ly conclude hysaying that the Eir was a decided- success in every res?iet, so cially and finamcially, abd that*eenjoy, ed it very mucp;and resume the editorial harness with a heart pierced with in-. numerable darts and a head full of music and poetry. Remarkable Longevity. "The name of Nicholas will shortly come to be thought a synonytm for naughty in Russia. All the world has been scandalized by the deplorable fate of the Grand Dukq Nicholas, a nephew of the Emperor Alexander II, who biou~ght himsWlfhinto suhi noto riety with an-American adventuress from staid and sober Philadelphia. And now another Grand Duke Nicho las, the Emperor's brother, has fallen from grace. This Grand Duke is not a boy like his nephew, but a man of forty-five years of age, a distinguished soldier for a grand duke, and inspec tor-general of the Russian engineers. For some years past he has been keep ing up 'irregular' relations with a cer tain Mme. Chisloff, whose ostentatious ways have shocked the propriety. of St. Petersburg. At a grand dinner recently given by the Imperial Guards at Moscow, Mme. Chisloff went so far as w send a complimentary telegram to the officers from St. Petersburg with a toast. It seems that this is a privilege reserved for the - Imperial family, and the high-born soldiers of the guards could not pat up with Mme.Chisloff's impertinence. So their colonel formally complained to the Emperor, and the result is that while Mme. Chisloff has. been sent to her seat in the country, the Grand Dare has been ordered-to the Crimea. He is said to have lavished 8,000,000 or 10 000,000 roubles upon this lady du ring as many years.' As many years as roublis ! Think of it! A couple of human beings are still found alive and vigo rous at the age of ten millions of years;' they are Russians to be sure, but it is still remarkable. Methiisleh, where are you.? Your age is like a drop on the foam-erested wave com pared to the immensity of the ocean. And then the cheapness of livihg in those priqeval days. Think of it ! Ten millions of years of good eing. and drinking -as becomes a Grand Duke, and-at the -expense of a r6uble a year for the wholefamily. How they must have enjoyed their lunch in the shade of those now fossilized fern ti'ees, riding bareback on the mastodon all over the' plantation, and fishing for Plesiosaurs with trilobite bait-and all for half a dollar-and no taxes. 3BOUGHT DOWN.-Deteetive Hub bhrd. yesterday brouight to.CoJamb)ia four prisohers, charged with .the burn ing tie'store of Bowers, Wheeler & Co., and the United States post offie at Frog Level.a They will be tried at the April term of the United States-Court ini Columbia.-Register, 16th inst. After Uncle Sam has punished them for burning the postoffce, we hope the Solicitor of the 7th Circuit will take them in hands for burning the store. Arson is a heinous crime mnd its punishment cannot be, too severe. Of. course we suppose that the prisoners are the real criminals. aptain Hubbard is not very apt to be on the wrong track.

EDTOR: The question whether - ratic party should co-op6rate with a reform branch of the Republi can party in the next campaign is one which the writer of this communica tion would have preferred to let re main untouched until the meeting of the Democratic convention, or at least until there was a movement made by the Republican party to show that a reform party-claiming respect by ita character and numbers-had been really organized. The adoption of Gov. Perry's resolutions by the Greenville Democracy, however, has thrust up on us the necessity of forming and expressing an opinion on the mooted question. As the subject is one of vital importance to every citizen, I hope, Mr. Editor, you will allow opin ions to be expressed which may differ from your own, but which may at least serve as an incentive to other writers better qualified to consider the ques tion more thoroughly and intelligently. In the first instance it is obvious that our object is to have good, honest gov ernment. Secondly, we organize for the purpose of obtairing that result, and thirdly, we desire .to obtain it by honest means-neither through in timidation nor fraud. .Now there is at present no difference among honest men in regard to any principle by which the government should be ad ministered ; there is no party as far as party politics is concerned. This wri ter would be greatly obliged to any one to point out to him the least difference in opinion as to the method of adnin istering the State government. Neither a Republican nor a Democratic party exists in this-State as a party. There is.a certain body of men, composed of the native whites and. early foreign settlers, with which we associate the name Democrats, and a certain body of men, composedot the colored people, earpet-bagger3 and scalawags, with which we associate the name Repub licans. (We use the n'ove names not as terms of reproach, but simnply as names of easy desgnation.) Although at the present there is no difference in the tenets of the honest men in either party, there was forfnerly such differ ence, and the names carry with themn to those who were formerly opposed to each other an acquired meaning now which cannot be obliterated; the dis like to walk about with your former opponent's label on your back. We don't like to fight under anybody else's flag when our flag covers the same reasures although we know that either flag is a meaningless rag, and nothing but a rag. If the Republicans.had already organised a reform party and asked the Democrats just to vote for the Republican nominees as Republi cans-supposing them to be worthy men-how few Democrats would do so, however willing they might be to vote or those very nominees if they had been nominees of a combined conven tion. Most people think that Gov. hamerlain't.honestly means reform. Would it not be ridiculous to ask him to join a Democratic club ? he name .Democratic may carry with it~ ertain principles of Federal policy which an honest Republican might at wish to adopt, and and for the avowal or disavowal of which there is ot the least necessity in the election >f State officers ; our representation n Congress is of secondary importance. We should not ask from others what ye would not do ourselves. There ~re but two ways-either to have a ommon name and organization for he purpose designed or to have a cation of separate organizations. 'he latter method is now the only >racticable one. If we desire to 'ac. orplish an object we must calculate he means at our disposal. The body f men which are labeled 'Republicans' ave a majority of 40,000..voters in he State. We claim that there can e no reform in ~the Republican party self, because they are nearly all cor upt, and we still claim that we can et a suiffieient number of honest men rom their ranks to fight under the )emocratie banner to overcome the bove uitority; for we must get that umber, unless we organize the De soeracy merely for ornament or use ishonest means. There cannot be the lst doubt that the.aumber requisite1 > vercome the corrupt portion of the ,epublican party can be more easily rought to vote for common nominees nder their old name than by persuading em to vote the purely Democratic i icket. Furthermore, it seems never ave entered the minds of those who so avalierly si,eak of allowing the coloredr eople to come in and vote the Demo ratic ticket that there should be a n'o S e for them to do so. Ih has never been I tiaethtfrteolrdmns utmtdta o h ooe a' elp one of his race might be rewardedC itCnoe,asal Ee fee it*nofc,asal fie fee ue smallest, he must be satisfied with ~ e m onr ofvtng; ithe Deocrati;c securing to his party a fair share of office would give him more confidence in the sincerity of the promises made by his former intagnists. This coalition, however, which is absolutely necessary when it is sought by an independent branch of the Republican party, we cannot procure unless they organize themselves; we cinnbt orginize for them; and therein we consider the Greenville movement premature. But if we, after such an independent organ ization be formed, should refuse to co operate we will insure disgraceful de feat. If such an organization will not be formed, then we have to do our duty and fight alone. STILMA. FoR THE HERALD. MR. EDITOR: As I was strolling through a beautiful grove 'some days since in the suburbs of Newberry, I fell upon one of our public schools, into which I summed up the courage to enter. My design at first was merely to pay my respects to the school. but I was so highly and agree ably entertained by the intelligence. good sense and earnest deportment of the teacher, and the good behavior and proficiency of the pupils, that I was induced to remain almost two hours, and would have remained long. er but for the hour of dining being at hand. Previous to this visit, Mr. Editor, I had labored under the false impres sion that teaching school was a kind of lazy business, that only suited peo ple who loved their ease; but this visit convinced me of the error of any such conclusion, for I was not long in discovering in this school. that teach ers may sit still in their chairs and manifest as much earnestness and -en ergy in the worthy calling of "teach ing the yoang idea how to shoot," as in any other occupation whatever. The school above referred to, Mr., Edi 4r. is presided -over by :two noble minded and thoroughly competent young ladies, whose example of going to work with so much spirit and vim in these hard and poverty-stricken times, is certainly deserving of imita tion by, and a rebuke to, the many young ladies of our country who spend their time in novel reading, or other worse than useless employments, being rather drones than useful members of. society. We would just here venture to say if any one wishes to spend''an hour or two most pleasantly they can surely do so by making it convenient to blunder, as we did, into thise well conducte51 and highly interesting school. We have purposely . avoided, Mr. Editor, giving the names. of these young lady teachers, as we feel -sure they do not wish to have their names blazoned in the public press; besides it would be of no benefit to them, for such people always make their waj into public estimation by their acts, and -not by what others may say or write about them.
