Pi ~~us and rwaid WINNSBORO. S. C. Tuesday, May 29. 1877. R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, ABsoclato Editor. A Georgia court has just made a railroad pay fifteen dollars for kill ing a clog. And now the Georgians are tying all their stump-.tailed curs to the track and sitting calmly by awaiting developments. It is alleged that great frauds have been perpetrated heretofore in the contract to supply postal cards. Many of theso have weighed only four pounds to the thousnud, in~ stead of six, while the paper has contained twenty per cent. of clay in it instoad of ton, thus causing the cards to blot. The brother of As sistant Postmaster General Tyner is implicated, as ho was general postal card inspector. The new cards will be of two colors, and of much better quality. .Evarts on the Rampage. Secretary Evarts is preparing a letter upon so-called Southern out rages, in which he will define the position of the administration, and set forth the duties demanded of the South. A recent lynching in Mis sissippi, in which the daughter of the offender was mortally wounded in 'defending her father, will furnish a text for this pious homily. Other lynching affairs will receive com. mont, and possibly a full dish of Southern horrors will be presented. Now, all this is well enough. No one deprecates more than the law abiding poogrle of South, the sporad ic deeds of violence occurring at long intervals within her borders, and a sharp reprimand from the State department directed against lawless and turbulent spirits will not be amiss. But Secretary Evarts should not stop here in his self-imposed task of roformation. A modicum of censure would not be out of place nearer home. For every outrage occurring in the South, a crime of equal horror is chronicled in the North. Fifteen "Molly Maguires" are now under sentence of death in Pennsylvann' for murdering certain parties wvho were obnoxious to their .organization. Not more than ten days ago, sixty non-union workmen wore brutally poisoned in Illinois by striking miners whose places they had supplied. A few months since, isix Chinamen were murdered in Butte county, California, by a so eret society, their crime being solely that they were Chinamen and worked for a fewv cents less a day than the r ate established by Cauca sian laborers. Moreover, in the pious1 commnniuties of New England, whero the people thank God that they areo not as other men are, it is not an iunusual thing for husbands tosapto death the women they have peiul wr ttomr riago altar to love, honor and cher - ish. Why Seetary Evarts should sin.. gle out the peop)1le of the South wvho have been taught by the outrageous .legislation of his own p)arty to rely upon themselves for redress of in juries, while, like the priest and Levite of old, he passes by those who have been set uponOu and foully wronged in the highways near his own home, is a question that others must answer. To the people of this section it is but the manifestation of a spirit of unfairness either on the part of the Socretary himself, or of the Northern p~eople, to whose big otry and fanaticism he must p~ander im order to retain popularity. We had fondly hoped that the removal of the troops from the Southern state houses had put an end to the cry of negro persecution. Ae we to be still dosed ad nl*~aea wth old rehashed and revamped falsehoods ? Will Secretary Evarts spare us 7 or, if he will write, will hatleast be just, and deal alike with thme Southern Ku-Klux, the Northvn Man u~a.. te LEGISLATIVE PROOEEDINGS. FRIDAY, May 25. SENATE. The Senate bill to provide for the interchange of circuits by the circuit judges was returned from the House with some important amendments, which were concurred in, and the title of the bill then changed to an act. The Senate then proceeded to consider the case of Mr. J. M. McCay, who had refused to deliver up the memorandum-book of the Republican Printing Company. His lawyer, Mr. Maxwell, after some dis cussion, gave up the book, and the Senate postponed action on McCay's contempt till Saturday. The appropriation bill was then taken up and discussed. Several bills, of no general interest, paused a third reading. Adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Several bills of minor importance were read a third time passed and sent to the Senate. Mr. Orr, from the committee on Privileges and Elections, reported on the case of Prince Martin, from Fairfield, that the protest against him had been withdrawn, and there fore the jurisdiction of the commit tee was at an end, but that a new protest had been presented on the ground that Martin was a bigamist. The committee asked to be dis charged. Mr. Gray presented some written affidavits :is to the matter. Air. Hamilton said that Martin should be allowed to take his seat on presenting his credentials and purging hiinself of his contempt. He said that ho thought the charge of bigamy might truly be brought against two-thirds of the meubers of the House. Mr. Blue said he did not wish the House to put itself in the position of seating a -member this session, and of finding himl in the penitentiary when they coie hero next session. br. Gray said that the House had a right to protect its own purity, and to exclude men who were grossly ininoral, <ven though they were legally elected, and that Martin had forfeited any prima facie strength his case might have by his having been a member of the revolution ary Mu' okey House. Mr. Connor said the H:uso could not act on a question of character till it was settled by the courts. As to the protest onthe ground of unfairness in the elect i in, it was not before the House, now that the protest was withdrawn. The resolution to swear in Martin was then adopted, when he appeared and raid: "I beg the House's pardon for my contempt of it last fall" He then presented his credentials and was sworn in. The bill to alter the fence law was discussed without action. Adjourned. SATURDAY, May 26. SENArLE. On motion of Mr. Corwin, Mr. Meetze was released from his agree mont to "pair off" with Whittemore. .A number of bills, of no general interest, received a third reading and passed. The Senate then proceeded to consider the app~ropriation bill, which was discussed up to the hour of adjournment. HOUsE OF REPREsEN'3ATIVEs. Several bills and joint resolutions were introduced, read by title and properly referred. The report of the joint committee on thme Charleston delegation was made the special order for Tuesday, May 29. The resolution to authorize the governor to app)1oint a trial justice residecnt at Blackstockc was adopt ed:1 ordered to be sent to the governor. Tao bill to alter the fence law was taken up. This bill authorizes the county commissioners to submit the matter to the voters of the c >un)i i s Hlorry, Marion. CJolleton, Beau fort, Charleston, WVilliamsburg and Georgetown wvere excepted, and the bill then passed to a third reading. Adjourned. The Edgofleld Advertiser says: "There is a coal-black negro man in our vicinity who will soon have a beautiful white stomach-a stomach covered with as pure, white, Demo cratic skin as ever grew in E"dge field. This no doubt sounds both ridiculous and alarming, but we will explain. Some weeks back, Dr. Walter Hill and Dr. Wallace Bland cut off from the stomach of this negro a huge tumor weighing many pounds, and upon the large bare spot left by the operation they have planted numberless little stars of skin nipped from their own arms. These stars have taken root and are fast spreading out to meet each other, so that, as we have already said, the black man will soon have a beautiful white Democratic stomach -at all events on the outside. Science is wonderful--and in this case noble. Skin is about all the Radicals and negroes have left us, and to be thus generous with it is certainly magnanimans." NEWS OF THE DAY. Snow is still falling in Massachu setts. Georgia will vote on the 12th of June on the question of "Conven tion" or "No Convention." It is said that Radical politicians now concede that Pennsylvania will be carried by the Democrats this fall. President MacMabon has ordered Don Carlos, a claimant to the Span. isl throne, to leave; France at once. It is said that the American offi cers in Egypt have refused to go to Turkey to fight the Russians. Ex-Governor and Mrs. Hendricks, of Indiana, will sail for Europe about Juno 1st, intending to renmin abroad during the summer. An English company with large capital is now organizing for the purpose of shipping beef and mut ton direct from Norfolk, Va. Cattle and sheep will also be shipped. The Memphis A valanche sup poses that Proctor Knott and ;Con gressman Whitthorn are opposed to Hayes because they are opposed to the Texas Pacific Railway. Olive Logan writes from London that the Hon. Judah P. Benjanin, formerly Secretary of State of the Confederate States, earns one hun dred thousand dollars a year, and could earn more if he could put a legal oxtension on the twenty-four hours. The Czar has assumed command of the Russian army on the Danube. The news from the war in Europe is full of minor details, but is neither definite nor interesting. The 1i6s sians have postponed for a while crossing the Danube. Martial law has been proclaimed in Constantino plo. It is intimated that the recent conference of the secretary of the treasury with the members of tho syndicate in New York was the first step for the suspension of the fur ther issue of 44 por cent. bonds. This change will not take place before the close of the fiscal year, at which time the contract with the present syndicate will terminate. A negro killed a white lady in Georgia on the 1 th of April. He was arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged. On the 16th of May, after selling his body to the physicians for three dollars ho was executed. The husband of the murdered woman stepped into the ordinary's office that same day, got a license for a second marriage and then attended the hanging. A pretty good month's work for Georgia. The Russian minister, Mr. Shiskin, at Washington, in answver to an inquiry from Senator Gordon upon the subject of receiving for eign surgeons into its service, states that the Russian government admits into its service only such surgeons as are graduates of Russian universi ties, or have concluded their studies in the government medical institu tions for the education of surgeons. The New York Timnes is getting more outspoken against the Presi dent's policy. The complaint, it says, is not groundless or unreason able ; on the contrary, it reflects the impression produced upon honost Republicans of the more radical type, and is undoubtedly shared in strong Republican States to a larger extent than sanguine sup porters of the President have been willing to admit. It says that the two States of South Carolina and Louisiana are irretrievably lost. But it holds that to quarrel with the President will but injure the party. MR. BEECHER's ADvICE ABOUT H~OUsEKEPINo.--r. Beecher, after sprinkling twenty-six babies Sunday before last, advised young people when they married to set up house keeping for themselves. He would not take any consideration for the three years of his life when he settled down in the immortal county of Dearborn, town of Lawrenceburg, in Indiana, where he was paid at the rate of $400 a year. With $200 of that money ho came East and got married. After he and his wife re turned to Indiana they lived in two rooms. Whlat furniture they had was given to them ; and, continued Mr. Beocher, "If I was put upon my confession, I should say that I wore Judge Burke's clothing." The clergyman somewhat humor'ou sly described the home and his battle for life, and feelingly added: "When I look back to those happy years, I wvouldn't part with them for untold gold." He continued that it was a great mistake for young people to imagine that they must defer marriage until. they might secure wealth. WVhat is thai difference between a delinquent pziinter and a mad land lord ? One kampsa the track and the other tracks the tramp.--Car.. los Mn A variety of White Kaol ine, ro - sombling the famous Turkish Moot scbaun, has recently been discover ed near Morganton, North Carolina. A pipe made of this material is an improveInent on the old Powhatan clay. Mr. Redfield, having said that he knew of a newspaper man who never drank liquor, the Courier.Journal says, "But he would touch it, you know, if the keeper of the prison would lot him." Popular suffrage in Italy is some thing of a fraud. The people of Italy number 26,000,000. The oleo.. toral body does not consist I of more than 500,000. Of these 250, 000 refuse to avail themselvos of what they consider a sham. Hence "the will of Italy" is represented or nisreprosented by 250,000 men. A GENEloUS SoRT 01' MAN.--Georgo Francis Train has become quito h trdened. He says to the Boston lobe : "I was sitting on my bench in Madison Park the other day, feeding the sparrows, when a bog gar caine along and asked for alms. 1 refused him, when, in a most pite, eus tone of voice, ho declared that he was starving. Still I refused 'him. 'If I do not have food,' said he, 'I shall die.' 'Very well,' said I, 'I recognize your right to die. Go fertilize the fields ! Why should I rol the earth of its compost ? How dare I cheat the globe out of a corpse ? Iii disappointig you I please a million pismires, who thank me anticipatively for my generoua denial.
