This ts a bad year for the proposed increase of salaries of ' Auditors and g Treasurers.

We need fewer offices and better salaries to give us well done work and a cheaper government. Greenville Nc ic s. The best time on the rail on record in Virginia was made on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad ODe day last week between Louisa Court House and Rieh mond. The express, behind time with a dear track, was ordered to make all time possible to Richmond, when thc distance of 63 miles was ron tn exactly 60 minutes without any accident. Beecher is back home, and expresses himself as much pleased with his trip. ; He has lectured 75 times, travelled 18, 500 miles and met and made many friends. He carried back pleasant rec? ollections of the South, having been treated with marked courtesy at most of his stopping places. A drunk juan tried to shoot him in Maeoo, and some .newspapers criticised his politics, but except for these little drawbacks, his trip was all he contd bare wished it. The raole is at last vindicated. The War Department bas just had one pat on the pension list who was a veteran of the Mexican war, having been at work for the Government since that time, being now forty-five years of age and having been changed from sorrel to white by age. Tba officers of thc post petitioned for the repeal of an or? der for bis salo, and the department has ordered that be be left in charge of those who will care for bim kindly and let bim pass bis old age at rest. Every county in Ohio gave a majori? ty for tbe third, or prohibition, amend? ment except five, viz. Coyaboga, Frau Wis, Hamilton, Lucas and Mont? gomery. These couoties contain the cities of Cincinnati, Columbus. Cleve? land, Toledo and Dayton, and kept the State from adopting tbe amendment. As to the actual vote cast on this ques? tion the prohibition vote is far ahead, ' but the enemies to prohibition owe their escape to the requirement that an affirmative vote io constitutional a trend- j meats shall include ? majority of all tbe I Totes east at the same election. A disastrous fire swept over a Farge j part of Savannah last Wednesday. The j r jwrtion burned was known as the ! Vamacraw District, and occupies one j square m We of territory. Tbe fire ort- j ginaied io a cotton ware hu?.*se, aod j fcpreaa'?e? rapidly, was soon beyond % control of tao Fire Department. Three fatadred and twelve buildings were des ; ,|iej!??^ and more than twelve hundred people are homeless. The loss amounts to $1,000,000, including 4 000 bales of cot?on. The charred bodies of eight .persons have been found io the debris. Much suffering will ensue among the losers, for most of them have no means of support outside their daily labor. A freight train crashed through the trestle, while passing over San tee Swamp, one day last week. The train ?as loaded with cross ties, and, after the cars tumbled in upon each other, they caught fire, and cargo, cars, en? gine and all were a total loss. The en? gineer received injuries from which he died, and it is said that one of the train hands is missing, and is probably burned. We are under obligations to the committee of arrangements for an invi? tation to the Military Hop, under the auspices of the Sumter Light Infantry, at the Music Hall to-morrow (Wednes? day) evening. ? band from Charles? ton will furnish music for the occasion. We are in receipt of a circular from the Vice Regent of the Ladies Mt. yernon Association, appealing for aid in restoring the Carolina Room, at Mt. Vernon. Lady managers were ap? pointed in each county in the State, last May, to collect contributions and forward * to Mayor Courtenay, of Charleston. Only seven have respond? ed so far, and an earnest appeal is made fer assistance in this worthy enterprise. If the 'necessary repairs are not made within a short time our title to the room will lapse, and some other State will ob? tain possession. Much bas been written on the beau? ties of Italian skies, her glowing sun? sets an? lovely nights, but wc doubt if even Italy could ever show any thing more beautiful than our western heav? ens, during each evening of the past week. We are afraid that our esteem for poet?, is not as high as it should be, bat in looking at these lovely auroras, mantling our skies with a blush as charming as ever flashed over maiden's cheek, we could not but feel a little, re? gret at oar total lack of poetic frenzy. If we just knew how, we would tell our readers how beautiful they were. The Sam ter Watchman and South ron, comes to this office about once a month. We would like for such an en? tertaining acquaintance to be more sociable.-- Williamsburg Tattler. .... We assure the Tattler that our paper is mailed each week, with amazing regularity, and no one is to blame, ex? cept the pestiferous name of the town and P. O. whence the Tattler hails. If the name of that town cannot be changed, we would earnestly advise oar esteem? ed cotempcrary to pall ap stakes and hunt a post-office with a recognized Dame. We are sorry to note that hoop-wear? ing has become fashionable. God made woman, and when man tries to improve on her form, with hoops and one stuff er other, be simply makes a mess of it. - Tattler.

Commission and its mis? deeds. Tbe good people of one town risc to remark that if the Commission would ando tts work and resign, that they (the people) would willingly pay its salary. Another party intimates that the Commission has sold out, body and soul, to the railroads, and so the cheerful comments go the rounds, from thc mountains to the seaboard ; but we are glad to note a change for the better in these criticisms. Labored compari? sons of freight rates between the up? country towns in this State and New York or Baltimore, (as if the commis? sion had anything to do with rates out? side of the State,) have fallen into the back ground; the blood-curdling ro? mance of a lady having to sit in thc same car with some unkempt African, and only ridding herself of the annoy? ance, after ineffectual appeals to thc conductor and male passengers, hy Boorishuig a pistol a la Sitting Bull, bas become a myth of thc past, and wc confidently look for a return of thc spi? rit of justice and fair dealing that hus ever characterized the press of this State. The Commission has doubtless made some mistakes, but experience will enable it to correct them, and we believe thc schedule adopted by it, will, be approved by all who have local traf? ic on the roads. And as wc have said before, the Commission was appoiutcd more for the purpose of equalizing rates than reducing them. The S. C. roads are not m ak i o g too much money, for, if they were, new roads would be more easily built. Capitalists would be anx? ious to invest their money in this in? dustry if it paid well but it docs^not, and our own prosperity is toe intimately connected with thc roads for us to crip? ple them with restrictive rates. In this connection, and to show that the roads are not all making fortunes by the in? creased rates granted by thc Commis? sion, wc publish the following from the News aud Courier of October 30th : An advertisement of thc South Caro? lina Railway published in the News and Courier yesterday announces that freight for poiuts on the Bardwell Rail? road will hereafter only be shipped aud receipted for as far as Blackville. No reason being assigned for this change, a reporter called on Colonel Peck yes? terday and asked for an explanation. Colonel Peck said that the explanation was a very simple one, and he had no objecction to stating it. In brk-f, said he, the Barnwell Railroad, which, in j fact, is ix?t a part of the South Carolina j Railway, is classed hy the Railroad Commission as forming a bart of our poad and it is subjected to the same re? strictions and tariff of rates ?s the South j Carolina Railway is. Tho consequence is that under these new tariff ratos the Barnwell Railroad will not pay one tenth of its running expenses. lt will lose $500 a month, and on the 1st of November will cease operation and the running of trains will be discontinued. Charleston Association Items. The Charleston Baptist Association met in its annual session with Bethel Church last Thursday The former officers, Rev. D. W. Cuttino, Rev C. A. Stiles and Geo. W. Mciver, Esq., were re-elected respectively as Moderator, Clerk and Treasurer. The Introduc? tory Sermon was delivered by Rev. D. W. Key, of Lewisville, Oraugeburg Co., after which thc delegates made their report. Thirty-one churches lo? cated in Charleston, Berkel -y, Col?eton, Orangeburg, Richland, Sumter and Williamsburg were represented. Dr. J C. Furman of Greenville and Rev. R. H. Griffith, State Agent, were in attend? ance and added much to the interest of the meeting. Business sessions were held during the day and divine service at night, Rev. D. W. Cuttino preaching on Friday and Rev. A. J. S. Thomas on Saturday. Sunday witnessed a larse crowd io attendance. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity, and after an address to tbe Sunday School, by Mr. Griffith, the Association Ser? mon was delivered by Rev. C. A. Stakely. We will not attempt a de? scription of this able effort, but can only say that the large congregation were delighted by tts powerful elo? quence. After recess for dinner DR- J. C. FU RM AN. Professor of English Literature in the | Furman University, preached an his? torical discourse which was listened to with great interest hy men and women, many of whom were direct descendants, of those whose names are linked with the early history of this venerable Church. Thc first mention of the name of ..Bethel," in any printed minutes, was in 1770, jost one hundred and four years ago, when it was a strong church of 77 members, with Rev. Mr. Thompson as pastor. We do not know how long it had been in existence at that time, but evidently a number of years. Many noted Dames are found upon its roll of pastors and supplies, among whom are J. B. Cook, Wm. Holmes, Mr. Missildine, Sam. Furman, Jas. DuPre, Noah Graham and Isaac Nicholes. J. B Cook was well-known by old time Baptists, especially in the upper part of Sumter, where his de? scendants yet live. Rev. Wm. Holmes was equally well-known by thc Baptists of long ago lower down the country. In 1828, fifty-five years ago, the Asso? ciation met with Bethel, and Dr. J. C. Furman, who was a delegate from Charleston and had just been licensed, preached his first sermon from the text. ..And be ye renewed in the Spirit of your mind." Mr. Dossey, well-known to South Carolina Baptists in the last generation by bis hymn book, called "Dossey's Choice," was at that meet? ing. Samuel Furman, Jas. DuPre and Noah Graham, loved by all who | knew them in their work for the Mas- j ter, succeeded Mr. Cook in the pasto? rate. Rev. Isaac Nicholes took charge of the Church about 1852, and remained ! pastor till his death, since the war. We regret that our space does not allow of a more detailed history of this Church, and the men whose labors have been so signally blessed, while working in ber borders. AT SIGHT, Mr. Stakely preached in thc Baptist church in town, and as it was the usual night for the Union meeting, and the other churches were closed a crowded house was in attendance. The Sermon was an eloquent discourse on the theme, "Glorifying God," and was remarka? ble for its fervid imagination and per? fect diction. Mr. Stakely has impress? ed all who have heard him preach during the Association, as a minister of wonderful power. His distinct enunciation and deliberate delivery ren? der his reniions a delight to the car as well as to the miud, and contrast strong? ly with the very youthful appearance of tte reverend gentleman. At times his gestures are somewhat angular and jerky, whi"h detracts io a measure, in the eyes of the hypercritical, from a delivery that otherwise is almost perfect in force and power. The Citadel Square Church is to be congratulated on the possession of Rev. C. A. Stakely ss pastor. The fact that good health, strong muscles and sound nerves are attainable, should en? courage every invalid to an earnest endeavor in the right direction. Remember all disease owes its origin more or less to a lack of iron in the blood. Iron in the blood means health, strength and vigor. Analyze the blood o fan invalid and little or no iron will be found. Healthy men's blood is full of iron. The best method of supplying this lack of iron is by using Brown's Iron Bitters, a sure cure for dyspepsia, general debility, weakness and all wasting diseases.

Sometimes people wish their news? papers stopped, and do not know exactly how to get about it. We would sug? gest the following plan. Find out what you owe and send that amount to the printer, requesting that the paper be stopped If it continues to come, re? quest the Postmaster to return it, a?d the trouble is at an end. Be sure not to get the matter reversed, and send the paper back before you send the money. The law recognizes the fact that prin? ters are a long-suffering class of people, and throws every possible safe-guard around them, lt is for that reason that a mao is adjudged guilty of fraud who subscribes for a paper, neglects to pay and orders it stopped while still in debt, as it also does one who, while haviug a paper sent him, changes his post office and leaves the paper going to the office without paying for it. The fellow, who by mistake, sent his auburn-haired sweetheart instead of a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup a bottle of hair dye, wants to know the best way to commit suicide. ; . . 'Oh, pa,' said a young lady, 'Why don't you get a fir-tree? It would be so economi? cal to raise our own furs, and thea we could raise whatever kind we wish.'
