Hon. A. H. Stephens has completed bis im?
portant historical work, which at an early
day will be given to the country.
A WiHiston (S. C.) man thinks be bas
struck a bononza in making quinine from
pumpkins.
The cotton receipts of Graniteville are six
thousand bales ahead of last year.
The Graniteville-Canal is filling in with
sand, but a plan is on hand to remedy this
evil by a thorough excavation of all obstruc?
tion.
The Baptist State Convention will meet at
Anderson on the 24 inst.

Rev. W. E. Hatcher, D. B\, pastor of one
of the big churches ia Richmond, Va., has
been called to the charge of the Baptist church
at Greenville. He is spoken of as being a
man whose eloquence and cordial geniality
arealike irresistible.
A iour-year old boy is no match for a four
year old bull dog, and a fatal encounter at
Wilmington, Del., last Saturday, proves the
- dangerous disparity.
There is a weekly sale in Paris of toads
which are brought in casks filled with damp
moss. One hundred good toads are worth
from $15 to $17. These are bought for gar?
dens.
Prince Bismarck's threatened resignation
does not seem to have frightened anybody i
this time. Perhaps some day he may forget j
the fatal step taken by M. Thiers, of resigning j
once too often and being taken at his word.
Three Philadelphia girls, ranging from ll !
to 13 years of age, agreed to test the pleasures !
of getting drunk. They- bought a bottle of j
whiskey and drank it. A policeman soon !
afterward found them lying insensible in the j
street.
Philadelphia has already prepared a pro- j
gramme for the celebration, a year hence, of j
the 200th anniversary of the landing of Wil- j
liam Penn. There will be three days of pro- j
cessions, naval displays, historical tableaux,
fireworks, feasts, and speeches.
Last Saturday, Mr. W. J. Villeneuve, I
formerly of Sumter, and who bas been living in j
Lancaster for the last two years was shot and j
seriously wounded by bis employee, one j
McNinch, who, after the shooting, tried to j
make bis escape, but was captured and put in ?
jail. j
A Coroner's jury at Brackett, Texas, was j
somewhat surprised to see a Mexican who had j
been thought dead, rise np just as they were i
about to begin sitting on him and inquire
what all the fuss was about. The supposed j
corpse came to just about in time to prevent j
the usual dissection and post-mortem exami- ?
nation.
Last week a gentleman, Mr. Keese, of j
Edgefield, being called upon for an opinion j
regarding the stock law, spoke thus : "Well, |
gentlemen, I own but one cow beast, and j
that is a little bell yearling. I am conscien- j
tiously opposed to the policy of compelling j
my neighbors to split rails for the support j
and behoof of the animal aforesaid.
At the approaching coronation of the Czar !
and Czarina the ivory throne of Constantino- j
pie is to be used. The Czarina is to occupy a j
throne adorned with 867 diamonds and rabies. J
and 1,223 sapphires, turquoises and pearls of
the first waler.
The Democrats, concede Cameron's election j
by five thousand to six thousand majority and j
summarize the legislative result in Virginia \
as follows: Senate-Democrats. 17; Read- j
jasters, 23. Honse-Democrats, 42; Read- j
jasters, 55 ; doubtful, 3. This would give .
the Readjusters 19 majority on joint ballott, I
without counting the three doubtful seats. ;
There are two colored members in the Senate j
and eleven in the House of Delegates.
I
Green B. Raum, Revenue Commissioner. I
and General Sherman are now at Atlanta as j
invited guests to the Great Cotton Exposition, j
Raum is the man who has organized plunder :
and terror in North Georgia, and who bas j
just bought np Virginia for Mahone. By all i
means, let Atlanta have a "Raum Day," j
when, the moonshiners may gather from the j
mountains, drink sour mash and kiss the :
skirts of Green B. R.
If Southern planters could ever get out of;
debt and establish something like a cash sys- j
tem, this Sectio:* would be the richest io the j
world. That cotton planters survive at all, ?
after payment of 60 per cent, usury from year I
to year, is proof positive of the enormous pro- j
fits possible under a different system.
Many of the recent emigrants from Germa- !
ny are young men under 18, who thus escape j
the long and burdensome military service, j
Were they to remain after reaching their j
eighteenth year their emigration would not be j
permitted.
The Barnwell People declares that the j
State Agricultural College ii an egregious j
fail ore, and advises the Legislature to "turn j
out before Christmas the teachers and boys, ;
install a competent corps of female professors, ;
fill the classic halls with girls preparing for ;
matrimony," and says that "futuregenera- ;
tions will rise up and call them blessed and I
hold their names in everlasting remembrance." j
A few days ago, over in Lexington County, I
S. C., Mary Lewis, an educated white girl, j
married a low negro, and the couple started ?
on their wedding tour. They were pursued J
by two brothers of the girl, who overtook and j
shot the negro dead, and started for the home ;

Augusta Evening Neics.
Senator Vest, of Missouri, has presented to
the St. Louis Historical Society a paper
which he claims is the original order of Gen.
Robert E. Lee disbanding the Confederate
army of Northern Virginia. Mr. Vest says
thc paper was placed in his hands by s:one
who was most loyal to the cause for wuich
that array fought, and who accepted iu good
faith the results of its defeat."
The King of Ashantee. like his neighbor,
the despot of Dahomey, is an adrt;>: at human
sacrifices; but the latest exploit attributed to
him, of kil.ing 200 young girls in order to
get their blood for mixing mo-tar in the re?
pair of a building, is almost past belief. In
civilized countries, iLOzsarcbs, to be su:c,
send tens of thousands of young mea to die
on tho battle field, in order to build up and
cement their power with warm blood, but
the barbarities of the ruler of Coomassie are
of a different sort. The eagerness for inflict?
ing violent death is, however, such a passion
with the Ashantee*, as their wars with the
Fantees show, that probably this late?t
atrocity on the Gold Coast does act produce
much emotion there.
The members of the Cotton Exchange have
estimated the growing cotton crop. There is
wide difference between the highest estimate,
which is 6,505,000 bales, and tne lowest,
which is 5,175,000 bales. That the latter
estimate approaches somewhere to correctness

THE PE NOE. LAW;
-o
There is an opinion on the part of some,
that the Legislature, at its next sitting, will
endeavor to pass the fence law as a State
measure. Our attention was called to this
fact, bj an extensive planter of this county,
who is not oui/ interested, to a great extent,
as a land-holder but who represents the views
of a considerable portion of the County. Ile j
suggests, that the present Legislature should j
not interfere with this law ; that, inasmuch j
as there was no issue of the kind, appertain- j
ing to the election of its members, they are in- j
competent to wisely determine the will of the j
people upon the subject; that at the next ;
election, such an issue be made. The views :
of the various candidates being made known, j
the wishes of the people can be clearly ascer- j
tained, with reference to this law. There is !
considerable danger in following the sugges- j
tion of our friend, as the making of the "no- j
fence law" an election qualification, would,
perhaps, create discontent with the party. !
What is needed now, is concilliation toward ;
the disaffected democrats in our Coun- j
ty. A split ia the party now, might be i
iiastrous at the next election. If it is neces- i
?ry to obtain the views of the voters with j
reference to this la*v let it be decided by a !
separate election, as, for instance, in consti?
tutional amendments.
REPUDIATION.
-o
The result of the recent election in Virginia j
has created considerable stir genera'1 r, as it ?
is believed that its example and influence will j
be experienced in coming elections in other j
States, if this does not operate as a precaution j
to the D?mocratie Party. It it is true, no j
State in the Union furnishes io its political !
history such a parallel, and consequently no j
?xaet estimate of its consequences can be ;
irrived at. If this triumph of the Repudia-?
tors could be viewed as a political phenomenon, j
ind not as a direct result of discontent and j
the unsalable greed for office on the part of !
many of the Democrats who to have their j
personal ambition gratified became zealous I
ind active Repudiators, thereby giving local j
strength to the Virginian Republicans by !
their amalgamation with them, the grave !
apprehensions that now threatens similar dis- j
loyalty to the Party in future elections South j
would soon cease, and the public could re- j
eoncile itself with the belief that by the next !
election in Virginia the politics there would j
result according to the respective strength of ;
the Democratic and Republican Parties. But :
such a result in our political progress is more I
to be wished for than reasonably to be expect- i
ed. The result of a Democratic ballot box !
as shown by this election is getting to be a
thing of uncertaintv.
It is not so much the exultation of tram?
pling under foot this debt which was con?
tracted before the war and which the Demo- j
crats contend should be honorably liquidated, i
RS it is a good pretext for the so-called Re- ;
pudiators to figure prominently in politics, j
and get into office, which they have acco.n- j
plisu at the sacrifice of the Democratic Party, j
This election is a timely warning to every j
Democrat in South Carolina never to desert j
or remain neutral to the cause of the Democ- !
racy simply, because its views on certain sub- j
jects do not coincide with those of every ?
individual member.
The coalition of factions, having no princi- j
pie in common and actuated only by the lust j
of place, can never form a permanent organi- j
zation or enlist the active sympathy and co- i
operation of earnest men whose political life j
embodies real convictions and is guided by j
recognized principles. j
STAR-ROUTE PROSECUTION, j
-o
Attorney-General McVcagh has made about !
as great a blunder in the treatment of the i
Star-route frauds, as did Dr. "Pus Cavity" !
Bliss in bis most important case. Before he ;
had discovered his lack of accord with the j
political views of President Arthur, and . ten- j
dered his resignation, he declared that he had j
got the Star-route cases ready for trial. Sub- :
sequent events have shown that his whoi-'i j
preparation was based upon an illegal mode i
of proceeding, and the consequence is, that at j
the very beginning the whole thing bas been j
throw- out of Court by Judge Cox. It is j
true that the Judge's decision has no reference
to the probable criminality of Messrs. Brady
and company, and is simply a ruling upon the
mode of prosecution, yet the result has been
very unfortunate, and widely in contrast to
the issue expected at the time the proceedings
were instituted, when there was such a flour?
ish of trumpets by the Government officials.
There are many opinions with regard to
McVeagh's actions in the premises. Some
think that there was a want of lecal proof in
the cases, and after the sanguine assertions at
the beginning, the Attorney-General was
ashamed to meet the defeat, which he knew,
.after further investigation, most follow. It
is reported, too, that be has said that the
Administration was too much in sympathy
with the defence to allow their conviction.
It remains for the future to determine which
of these reports may be correct. At any rate
the Government has met with a serious de?
feat, and it reflects not only upon ils legal
; ability, but also upon the earnestness will'
i which it apparently commenced the pro
: feedings.
I Col. Cook, the special counsel fur the Gov
j ernment, still says that the prosecution will
j be pushed, while Col. Folten declares that the
j cases will never be brought before a petit jury.
j Unless there is more legal ability displayed in
. :heir management, it wit! matter but little
j ?
j which of the two ways be right.
! We see by the Georgetown papers that the
i work on trie Santee and Winvah Canal, which
? the L". S. Government engineer had corn
i
; monced, through the influence of Senators
1 Hampton and Butler has been ordered to be
j discontinued. We hare written an article on
j this subject, but our limited space compels
; to defer it until n*xt week.
