Winn, McLaurin and Moise, and a correct explanation of their position. The idea that their af? fidavit, so widely pub&hed was made with a view to escape inevitable convic? tion ora" desertion, of a pre-arranged mode of defense, to avoid certain pun? ishment, is false. They made no at? tempt from the first to conceal their actions with regard to the boxes in question. It was widely known, and bad they been called upon to testify in court, would have made the statement embodied in their affidavit. It was sim? ply an admission of a fact that had been repeatedly admitted, with no attempt at secresy. They pleaded guilty to a fact, ano! cot toan intentional fraud. To de? clare that they sacrificed the party, Jto save themselves, or compromised a con? tract through fear of unpleasant 'visions' we regard the grossest injustice : Our esteemed cotemporary at Charleston has fought gallantly and persistently the battle of the State against her enemies. The editorial ability of our esteemed, exceeding that of any newspaper in this State has been devoted to striking-blows that have told like the strokes of sled ge hammers against the men who have introduced a judicial machine in the war against 4X8.^, We go somewhat ont of our way fo say this, because we have such frequent occasion to animadvert on the course of our esteemed. We cheerfully put on record the expression .of our conviction that the News and Courier has done nobie work in the trying period of the past few weeks, and has fairly earned the thanks of the State. Our esteemed is wrong, however, in its. attack upon General Moise repre? senting the gentlemen from Sumter, who plead guilty to a technical viola? tion of the election laws. Their posi? tion, assumed by his advice, as we understand it, is that they deny any in? tention to do wrong, but admit that their construction of the law was contrary to that of the court, and that they may have unintentionally .done wrong. Therefore they ask ?br a discharge. They did not plead guilty, and throw themselves upon the mercy of the Court. By the responsive action of the Court they obtained a distinct declaration^ that they, as representatives ^ef^our State and people, were^g??ltless .of wron?^iid--ka?^committe4 only an jOifOi. .The charge of abandoning.the people and seeking refuge behind a cowardly compromise as preferred against these gentlemen by our esteemed is the grav? est that could be made against any men, and is equivalent to the charge of desertion in the face of the enemy pre? ferred against a soldier, The facts do not support it, and it never should have been made. The attack on Gen. Moise is vnjzsr and impolitic. We cannot afford to drive away an"^\^fc^rr??nd3 now, and this is no tim?^rmiscroscopic scrutiny of anyjojan^s political creed. When ut? terance is made, and a man by his word or act declares himself an opponent of Democracy, it is time enough j to de? nounce him. We have an abundance of foes wit hout seeking or creating them. Gen. Moise has not, as far as we know, spoken out in the dear, decisive, manly terms that were desirable, and declared his allegiance to the straight1 Demo? cratic party. But the tenor of jvhat he said has been in that direction, land at the independent meeting at Sumter his advice to the negroes and white men was to stick to the party. Therefore it is too soon to arraign and condemn him as a deserter. Abuse and blows is not the best means of regaining wavering friend. Those methods are appropriate only for positive enemies. Wedding Bells. On Thursday last Lieut-Governor J. D. Kennedy and Miss H A. ^3oykin were married at the residence fjof thc bride's mother in Kirkwood.

A Cool Murderer. A New York special of last Thursday says : Sindram, the condemned murder? er, who is to be hanged to-morrow, was closely guarded to-night by the Deputy Sheriffs who have him in cbargj. He spent his time in talking to them and in writing letters. His mother, 'accom panied by his son and daughter ?nd two lady friends, called on him during the afternoon. They were searched* before admission. In Mrs. Sidrara's .bonnet was found concealed an oilstone : sharp? ened to a point at one end. i It is believed that she intended/ to give this implement to her son, so tbat he might use it in an attempt to tike his life. [ He expressed a wish to see the gal? lows on which he was to be hung, but this was not gratified. At m|dnight the condemned man was seated with McGloin, another condemned murder? er, at a table, and by tbe light ot* a tal? low dip was engaged in playing a game of casino, in which he evinced the deepest interest He was daly hanged on Friday. ? THE WATEBEE DISASTER. The Steambqat Marion Explodes one of lier Boilers-Five Persons Killed and Many Wounded-The Officers Acquitted of Blame. The following account of the recent disaster on the Wateree-River, is taken from the Columbia Register, of thc 30th: At the (Solicitation of. a number of gentlemen and ladies of the Fork neigh? borhood, Captain Rhodes of thc steamer Marion bad agreed to give them an ex? cursion on tbe Wateree River, and on Friday morning the party, consisting of about twenty-five, gathered at Red Biuff, a landing near the junction of the Wateree and Congaree Rivers, on the plantation of Mr. Joseph Bates in Richland County, about two miles from Wateree Station, on the Camden branch of the South Carolina-Railroad. At about ll A. M. the party board? ed the steamer and she moved out from the landing. When she had gone about one hundred yards several of the guests who had been delayed made their ap? pearance on the river bank and Cap? tain Rhodes ordered the boat to be backed into the mouth of a small creek in order that the belated party might be taken on board ; but, as' there was danger of running-on a tree or snag in the mouth of the creek, he gave the signal for reversing the motion of the engine so that she might be moved for? ward. At this moment the explosion of one of tue boilers took place, carry? ing death to some and dismay to the re? mainder of the party so joyous and hap? py the moment before. At the time of the explosion most of the marooners were in the- aft saloon of the steamer. * Thc captain was in con ver- ! sation with Mr. Joseph Bates, near the pilot bouse, and the ill-fated party, con? sisting of the four Misses Henry. Mrs. ! S. Gr. Garner, Miss Minnie Bates, j Mr. "Lenoir, Mr. Trumble, Mr. Orville Stiles and Mr. J. C Eason, were on the npper deck immediately over the boilers, j or in various positions in near proxirai- j ty to them. In an instant of time the ; fearful work of death had been done, | the upper works of tbe steamer were I scattered in fragmenta over the river J sud adjacent woods, and the portion of the upper deck over the saloon bad fal? len in on those in the cabin, inflicting painful but not serious wounds on near ly all the occupants. Of course a panic seized most of those who had escaped Immediate death, and but for the provi- | otential circumstance, of most of them ! being hemmed io in the cabin by the fallen deck, which afforded Captain Rhodes, whose presence of mind did Dot forsake him, the needed interval to assure them that the danger bad passed and that they who had so far escaped were safe, many more lives would have been lost by juuipiug overboard in the panic which resulted from the explo? sion. The force of the explosion drove those immediately exposed tojt intojiter river or on tojhe sef*i??yStstb*i?ry .or forty-yards distant. Those who were seen to disappear io the river aod whose bodies have not been recovered were Misses Mattie and Nannie Henry, daughters of Captain Samuel G Henry, who resides about 10 miles froai the scene of the disaster; Mr. Orville Stiles, a son of Rev. Mr. Stiles, who lives 5 or 6 miles off, and a negro boat haud named Tom Richardson. They i were probably all instantly kilh^-Tbe \ body of Miss Minnie EUr^^-was found on the river bank ^fearfully mutilated, and she, too-was killed instantly. Mrs ! Sacjuei-^ Garner, a widow daughter j r?fSenry T. Peake of Charleston, a \ former well known Superintendent of | the South Carolina Railroad, was blown into the river, and Mr. Hodge Lenoir was blown upon the river bank but without serious injury. He discovered Mrs. Garner in the river and immedi? ately swam out to rescue her, and they were both in the act of sinking when rescued by Captain Rhodes, who by that time bad procured a boat and was endeavoring to save the party. Five of the party were thus killed by the explosion. ( Mr. J. C Eason of Eastover receiv? ed a compound fracture of both bones of of the middle third of the right leg, was severely scalded on the back, and was also bruised about the chest. Mr. Willie Tromble was severely scalded, but was well enough to be re? moved to his father's, about three miles from the river, in the evening. Miss Lizzie Henry suffered a cora-' pound fracture of the leg and was severely scalded. Miss Minnie Bates.' daughter of Mr. Joseph Bates, has both boues * of the right forearm and humerus of upper third broken, fracture of lower end of tibia, right side, and face and back scalded. John Wiliiams, colored, a boat hand, was severely scalded on left arm and back and had a patch of skin gouged out of the under side of his left thisrh and the muscles lacerated and cinders driven iuto the flesh. As soon as possible those on the wreck were transferred to the land aud the wounded taken to the residence of Mr. Joseph Bates, about a mile and a half distant Dis. Keith and McKen? zie, the local physicians, were quickly on hand and did all that medical skill could do to allay the sufferings of the wounded. Dr. Taylor of Columbia wa3 tele? graphed to aud went dowu on the 4 P. M. train, remaining all night. When he left at 5 o'clock yesterday morning the wounded were doing as well as could be expected, although suffering much. The casualties from this terrible ac? cident are, as far as ascertained, five killed and five severely and several slightly wounded. The cause of the explosion will, per? haps, like thousands of similar cases, nfiver be disclosed, but the jury of inquest held yesterday, in their verdict, fully exonerate the officers of the ill-fat? ed steamer from all blame for the acci? dent Captain Rhodes and the engineer state that the boilers were inspected about a week ago and found to bc in good order, and the engineer says that at the time of thc explosion the steam gauge showed a pressure of eighty pounds, being twenty pounds less than the oapaoily of the boilers. The dread? ful calamity has cast a gloom over the whole community, as most of those, in? volved ia it ave known and csteroed tbrougnout the County. Too much praise cannot bo bestowed upon Capt. Tbos. E. Rhodes and Engi? neer J. 'J. Dawley of the steamboat Marion, who gallantly assisted in sav I ing others who would certainly have been lost in the recent disaster had they lacked that presence of mind or. heroic 5courago which they displayed, [For tbe Watchman and Soatbroa.j MEETING OP THE GRAND LODGE I. O. G. T. Messrs. Editors: Your correspondent and a friend left Sumter for Greenville on Saturday, to attend tbe eleventh ses sion of the Grand Lodge I. 0. G. T. A pleasant ride with pleasant company brought us to the end of our journey with the close of the day. The Counties between Columbia and Greenville show a wonderful promise of small grain to the farmers. Tbe oats and wheat were fine, and there is a very large acreage of the former. Corn is in the back ground for I saw but two fields after leaving Alston ; but king cotton is as prominent there as here. The up-country is growing very fast; towns are springing up, especially around the large factories,'with magic? like rapidity. A quiet Sunday was spent in the city, our party going to hear Mr. Strickland preach in the morning and Mr. Capers in the afternoon. On Monday, we 'did' the town till dinner then enjoyed an exhilarating ride up to Paris Mountain. We saw seve? ral young vineyards on the Mountain j sides, and Paris Mountain will soon be noted for its abundance of fruit. We visited the Summer resi? dence of Mrs. Markley, which has a splendid view of the country to the North and East. It is surrounded by a fine orchard and vineyard, and the puzzling thing to ns was to understand how a person could stand still on those steep hillsides long enough to plant a tree or vine. The Grand Lodge met on Tuesday with our friend Col. T. B. Crews, G. W. C. T. presiding, ably assisted by Miss Carrie China, G. W. V. T. Most of the officers were present, and quite a large delegation, with a num? ber of past officers and members. The day was spent in the usual routine work of hearing reports and arranging com ui i tees. At night a welcome meet? ing was held under the auspices of of the Greenville Lodge, and addresses were made by Mr. Strickland, pastor of thc Baptist Church, Mr. Wilson, of the Methodist Church, Mr. Nail of the Presbyterian Church, and Dr. Fur man which were responded to by vari j oas members of the Grand Lodge. The j speeches were good, the music de j lightful and the meeting was a success in ; every particular. On Wednesday the officers for the ensuing year were elected. Reports on the state of the order were given by the i delegates, just after which Master Mar ! shall Glower, a little lad six years old, j was introduced and brought down the i bouse with bis little speech on tempe? rance. He is a bright little fellow and 'temperance' to the back-bone. On Wednesday night a mass meeting was held under the auspices of the j Grand Lodge, and an address was j made by Prof.jOajdisler'oTBpartrinburg. ! TUie--sp?eeb-was just such as Prof. Car ; lisle always makes, and was listened to j with eager attention by a crowded bouse. The music, as was the case the night before, was splendid-one piece especially, 'The World is Moving' On,' sounding in my ears ever since. On Thursday the various committees reported on the subjects given them, j Tbe most important report was the one j recommending the appointment of a j State LecU?T. come discussion was i called forth, but the desire for its adop 1 tion was almost unanimous, and we hope soon to have a good speaker ijo the field. - j The officers were installed as follows: T.

McCullough, and Miss Robbjie McKav were elected Representatives \o the R." W. G. Lodge of the World, arid Mrs. C A. Mays and W. F Rbame ks alternates. \ The members of the Grand Lodge will long remember this pleasant sessioc. Messrs Reily and Johnston the W. ?. T., and W. S. of Greenville Lodge were untiring ?D their offorts to make the meeting pleasant. The Lodge As well as citizens of Greenville gave us tllie warmest of welcomes. The W. C. T. IJJ. gave us a God-speed and an invitation to their nicely arranged reading room. Dr. Walter gave us a large supply 6f soda water tickets, and if the sessioiD had lasted much longer ? fear we would have been sadly spoiled. Mrs. Wilke)?, Mrs. Brownwell, Misses Robbie an;d Emma McKay and the Messrs Munson gave us the sweetest of music at bo dh our meetings, and the Grand Lodge l<fft Greenville deeply impressed with the hearty hospitality of its people. Your correspondent was assigned a home with Dr. Manly's charming family, ao.d had a pleasant home indeed duriDg this G. L. session. : And now that the meeting is over, ;I trust and believe that it has been pro? ductive of good. The members retard? ed to their homes encouraged in thejr work for temperance and reform. New resolves were made, new .plans were laid, and we look forward with juf?t cause to a prosperous year in the tern, perauce movement. R. ' A Historic Case. f: The decree in the case of W. F. Dickerson et al., appellants, vs. W. Smith, Executors, et ai., respondents was filed in the Supreme Court a fty days ago. The appellants were repre? sented by Col. James Farron, of Lau? rens, Col. W. H. Parker, of AbbevMl?, Col. T. P. Westmoreland, of Atlanta, Ga., Mr. George Westmoreland, of this city. The respondents were represented by Holmes and Simpson, Col. B. W. Ball and Pope and Watts, of Laurens. This case involves about ?100.000 and bas been pending for ten years. This action was originally brought by McGowan and defended by Simpson and Simpson, of Laurens. H. L. McGowan died several years since arjjd HOD. Samuel McGowan was electet to the position of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Hon J. S. Cothran was then employed by the appellant^, but wis elevated to the Judgship of tie eighth Circuit before the cause was heard on appeal. Hon. W. D. Simpson has also been called to hil a position on the Supreme benr.h At the hearing Jus? tices Simpson and McGowan were dis? qualified from sitting by their former connection with the case and J'a?gts Hudson and Fraser sat iu their places by special appointment.

It is an evident fact that farmers' wives are afflicted with many diseases which are the re? sult of overwork. They are constantly on one ceaseless routine of toil from dailight at morning until late at night. No change no relaxtion, no rest ! Farmers should note this fact, and be forewarned before it is too late. It'is astonishing what an amount of labor the wives of farmers perform. Many of them get up and have breakfast ready before their hus? bands are out of bed. Then it is work, work, j work until near midnight: their minds dur? ing the time being constantly occupied with their duties, and with thinking of how the food is to be supplied, when the washing and ironing is to be done, when time can be spared to scrub the floor, how the children are to be clothed and kept tidy, and innumerable other things not neccessary to mention, all of which combine to overwork and break down j the strongest woman in the land. In no case ! is it safe to be continuously thinking upon any one thing, and in cases were tbe brain bas been weakened by too great a strain upon it thereby producing insanity, epilepsy, vertigo, hysterics, female weakness, general debility, and a multitude of other diseases, the remedy is Kest and a few bottles of Dr. S. A. Rich? mond & Co's Samaritan Nervine. It acts directly upon the nervous centres and invigo? rates and strengthens tbe whole system. Many ladies have refrained from using Samar? itan Nervine on account of an existing pre? judice against advertised medicines. Let ns ask a question : are vou prejudiced against sewing machines because you have seen them advertised, orean yon doubt the ingenuity and skill required in their invention ? Again would you refuse to insure your house be? cause the company advertised that it had^aid millions of dollars in losses and yet bad a cap? ital of several millions left? Do such adver? tisements shake your confidence and create prejudice? Then why refuse to credit the tes? timony of those who have found Samaritan Nervine to be all that is claimed for it in overcoming those ailments peculiar to your sex ? The following statement speaks for it? self: Fairfield, Leoawee Co., Mich., T April 25, 18S1. J Dr. Richmond-Dear Sir : This is to certify that my wife had fits for thirty-five years. 1 They would last ber for about one hour and sometimes longer. I happened to hear of your medicine, and sent for some of it. She had no more fits after she took the first dose Sbe is now permanently cured, and her health is a great deal better than it has been for twenty years or more. You are entirely at liberty to use her picture and this testimonial in any manner which you please, and may sign my name to it. We owe you this much at least for what yoo have done for her.
