The fall Committe e on Elections voted unanimously in the ease of Stolbrand against Aiken in lavor of the latter, and granted Stolbrand the privilege of withdrawing his ^ papers. The Cabinet reverses, on technical grounds, the finding1 of the court mar I Hal dismissing Whittaker from West ?>' .Point; bnt at the same time dismisses him on the ground of deficiency in studies. This is the lamest thing in the world. They palpably dodge the issue, but get rid of the colored brother all the same. sp-? We learn that the Republican members of the committee and Stolbrand's own lawyer were much surprised to learn Stoeber, who took testimony for him in his Congressional contest, is Stolbrand's own son-in-law. The Revnbiicans could learn a 200d many ! other astonishing thing's if they would thoroughly investigate the Radical machi: e in this State. According to the News and Courier, General Hurlbut, the unsavory minister to Pern, is well known in - - Charleston as a moral crank. The son of a highly respected New England teacher, he was raised in Charleston, and disp'a ed remarkab'e powers lint he swindled so many people there that Mr. Petigrn finally gave him some money and told him "to go beyond the lk>unds of civilization." He went to llliuois, and rose to be a general in the army, but proved to hare taken a bribe often thousand dollar:; to allow cotton to run the blockade. Such is the man that Shipberd used to advance the interests of the Peruvian Company. Dr. Mayo, Superintendent Thompson, Mayor Courtenay, Mr. J. P. Iv. Bryan and the lie v. Dr. Porter, in company with other gentlemen, ap peared before a joint meeting of the pAmmittOA! nf rnitOTPSS jUViUV^UVWUl VViUiUikhvvu w* a few days ago to tirgo an appropriation for education. The addresses were forcible and convincing, especially that made by Superintendent Thompson. The immediate need of increased facilities was shown. The Southern States arc doing all they can, but the amount of ignorance is appalling, and it threatens our institutions It was shown that at least fifteen million dollars a year are needed, which should be disbursed through State machinery, and not by means of a separate organization. The friends of education are hopeful of success. An appropriation, such as is asked, would yield nearly three-quarters of a million dollars for Sooth Carolina. "VFe are glad to see that the State is .waking to the importance of two things, a reapportionment of the Congressional districts and a defeuce by v the State of her sworn officers now awaiting trial in the United States Courts. Weeks ago 'The News ajo> Herald advocated a reapportionment, - - * * * . g?.. .. f>ut some time eiapsea Deiore me aavisability of this measure seemed to strike the general public. The more it is considered the stronger will appear the force of the arguments in favor of it. The other point is the defence of isiu eiccuuii uiaua^vi* u> ujc xx year ago The News and Herald advocated this measure; but for some reason its position was misunderstood, and several papers strenuously opposed it , assuming that we had advocated the defonce of private citizens from ~ * public funds. We took the position then that the State has nothing to do officially with individual cases, and that the Democratic party has nothing to do officially with the State offir-ers. We rejoice to see that many leading men are now of this same opinion. TI?e &gic of events i9 vindicating ns, and we are tbc more gratified because, knowing we were right, we were much ; annoyed by being misunderstood. The State Democratic Execntive Committee will stand firmly by those of us who have been chosen by lot, as jttftC;-- - - it were, as victims of Kadicai hate. But the whole defy is not done until tiie Attorney (General and his assistants appear in the United States Courts, as State officials, to vindicate the ma^sty of the State and Uie acts of j he readiness witn wmcn even i i Stolid John Bull goes off into occasion- i i nl hysterics is amusing. This time an J t elephant is the exciting cause of these 11 paroxysmal manifestations. The Zoo- j t logical Garden of London recently boasted the largest elephant in the; t world, Jninboby name. Unfortunate- ! ( ly Jumbo is also the .fiercest of living !

Mr. P. T.' j Barn urn hearing of him, has purchased ' 5 him for a round sum for his great j i moral show. But it has taken several ! ] weeks to coax Jumbo on shipboard, j 1 and meanwhile London has risen in j i arms about him. Letters have been ! 1 written, meetings held, petitions sign- i 1 ed. protests entered and things made J i lively generally. Jumbo at present j | rivals Gladstone, the Land League or j i the Channel Tunnel for notorietv. A ! i writer in Punch gravely proposes to keep Jmnbo and ship Mr. Gladstone.! In spite of all the furore Jmnbo has at j last consented to enter upon his voy- j' age. Mr. Barnuin is happy and London refuses to be comforted. lie will star in America the coming season, ( and after he has killed three or four 1 attendants and ripped up a dozen circus tents, will fairly divide honors with Oscar Wilde and Archibald I { Forbes, provided the British Cabinet does not issue an ultimatum to o)d \ < Frelinghuysen to send him back by jJ next steamer or prepare for war. ( What a chance would this be for i Blaine to increase his diplomatic talents.

The Reapportionment. The Greenville JYews asks: Can we redistrict the State so as to make six districts safe? If we can, will the Legislature agree to redistrict according to the proposed 1 plan? We carried the State and two districts in 1876 with troops at the polls, Radical managers and laws to suit the Radicals; we carried the State and | every district in 1878 and 1880 with United States marshals and supervisors swarming like bees about the ballot boxes and without any registration or election laws. Can we not carry the State and four districts in 1S82 with Democratic managers, Democratic election laws, and a party strong with the strength of successive victories? Will Federal interference he worse in the State at large and the five districts than in seven sepai-ate districts? An extra session will cost at least $10,0)0.. Will not its expense and the inevitable wrangling cost the party more friends than it will give strength to compensate for, even should the session produce exactly the results it is designed to give? We will admit in the outset that we know of no plan of:making six certain districts; but by unloading we can greatly assist the Democrats in the territory now comprising the first, second and fifth districts, besides inak ing the others doubly snre. We can have five certain districts, one doubtful and one Radical; whereas now there arc three doubtful districts with the two Congressmen at large thrown in to boot, or five in all, rather a heavy risk. Should two of the three doubtful districts <ro Radical they will seriously endanger the ticket at large. Let it be remembered, first, that the present apportionment is a Radical gerrymander; secondly, that the Con-" gressional ticket now has no more connection with the State ticket than the Pope's bull bore to the comet. These points remembered, the situation grows more clear. The State was carried in 1876 on purely local issues. So little thought was paid to the national contest that even electoral candidates made purely local speeches. The wave that swept Hampton in, carried the Federal ticket along, but with all that Hayes beat Tilden, and three Congressmen were elected by the Radicals. The two box law was passed in 1877, but was repealed in 1878, because Congressmen felt that their safety lay in being voted for upon the same ticket a > the other candidates. In 1880 Hancock carried South Carolina by 50,000 majority, only because of the necessity in every county of defeating the local Itsdic?! ticket. Ot! erwise Hagood would have led Hancock from twenty to thirty thousand voters. Our voters have always been too apathetic about national affairs, and many are willing to sacrifice a Congressman for a sheriff every time. In a presidential election A ffnf nn cr*r?A nufKupio?nr> Knf lilts > uv cvuig wiiuidoiaoul * UUI over Congressmen very little. To cite an instance; in 1872 when the Democrats had no State ticket, Governor Pcrrv was beaten for Congress by about fifteen hundred majority in a district that had a majority of one or two thousand white voters. If we remember aright his own county gave him only seven or eight hundred majority, though the white vote exceeded the colored, according to the census, by more than two thousand. In 1876 the State ticket received 2,443 majority in Greenville, and the Congressman about the same. Again. Hampton led rri-* i Tli a* i j xuaen dv severai mousana vores in ! the State, caused by a mere scratching | of Radicai tickets, a difficult feat to i achieve. How much greater would i have been the difference had the color! ed voter been given two separate balj lots, so that he could have satisfied his | leaders by voting at the Federal box j and shunning the other? j Further argument on this point is unnecessary. Under the present law j (he boxes are distinct. The Radicals i put up such scandalous local tickets | that even the colored people are j ashamed of them. The danger is that | ; Democrats will be content to induce! i the colored voter merely to repudiate j j his local candidates, without further j j canvassing him in behalf of the Con- I I gressional ticket. It is easy to say, j j ,;Vote for whom you please for Conj gress, so you vote for honest Icgislai tors and county officials." Again, is | there not a likelihood that manv Demoj crats will satisfy their consciences by i voting at one polling place, instead of j taking the trouble to visit both? They j will do this unless they are better edu' catedasto their Federal responsibilities : than they have heretofore been. j It is safe to assume that the Coni ?i :n i ; giv^iv/imi lii'ivct \y in i uu uuimm tuc ; j State ticket in every county, and very | largely in some. On the other hand ! Beaufort, Berkeley and Georgetown may give a Republican majority of ten or twelve thousand, and this will offset; it least our Democratic district in the i ip country, and perhaps two, since ( he influence of the State ticket is withdrawn, leaving the decision with he doubtful districts. Admit, for sake of argument, that hroujrh Democratic apathy the Kadi-1 :als should succeed in electing their j Congressmen at large, would this not j five a pretext for declaring that South j Carolina is Republican on national j ssues, and lead to trouble in 1884? Ir: s much easier for them to steal a Con-' pressman than the electoral ticket; ana j for this reason wp give the Radicals an j Advantage by neglecting a reappor- j iionment. Again, a ticket at large j necessitates a contest at every precinct, j from Walhalla to Port Royal, whereas j under a new law the Radicals would j svaste no time or money on the up coun-1 try. Even Stolbrand's audacity would j not venture a contest, and peace w >uld | prevail. Other matters we would touch, but the present article is already too long. A CLARIOS CALL TO DUTY. The Address of the Democratic State Executive Committee. Columbia, March 30.?The Democratic State Executive Committee issued the following address this morning: To the Democratic Party of South Carolina: After two years of profound peace our people are again called upon to uudergo the excitement of political trials, instigated by Federal officeholders, who seek the restoration to power of the corrupt men who brought disgrace and well-i'i^ii brought ruin upon this State. At no time in the history oi South Caaolina have there f>een greater quiet and good order in nil ranks oi societv. All classes of our i .1 -1 ?ua people are uevoung inemseivus iu met task of repairing their lost fortunes and j of building up the waste places which j were devastated through vears of tyranny, oppression and misrule. The harmony and <,rood feeling which should exist between the two races which inhabit the State have increased, and we are beginning with good reason to look forward to a period of | prosperity and happiness hitherto unknown in our annals. During this time the courts of the State have" been opened and all the machinery of governinent in full operation. The laws have been administered with justice and moderation. No complaint has been heard that the humblest citizen has not received the fullest protection which everywhere in this country is the prerogative <?f an American. In all the essentials which constitute good government South Carolina can eafulvr-hnllontrA mmnfll'isoil with any other State in the Union. But despite the peace and quiet which have prevailed, despite the existence of a State government ready to punish disorder, repress crime and protect its citizens, Federal officials have seen fit to drag our people from their homes and arraign them not only before Federal Courts, but before the bar of public opinion. Not content with ti e services of skilled and learned counsel ap pointed to execute Federal laws within this State, the attorney-general of the United States has seen fit to employ counsel from another Slate. The recent letter of Attorney-General Brewster to Mr. Sanders is an indictment of the Democratic party of South Carolina. To this indictment the Democratic party must answer. Its chosen representatives, through whose persons it is sought to perpetrate this outrage, must be defended with all of the force and all of the energy of the Democratic partv. mi-- ? xini purpose in view is iuu pium be misunderstood. He who runs may read. When the hand of the assassin struck down the "President of the United States it dealt a blow under which the people of the South are yet staggering. The change of polii y towards the South, as unmistakably indicated within the last few weeks, should warn all j lovers of <jood to be vigilant aid active. The decree has gone f'ortn. The white people of South Carolina must avow the principles of the Republican party or be declared criminals. The object of those in authority is not to punisn ior uiie<jeu crciiiesni tut: ?>ii:>u bat to make adherence to principles of the E'einocratic party impossible in the future. The time for this action has been fitly chosen. On the eve of a State election our people are told that they must submit to a return to Radical rule or brave the persecution of officials who arc aided by all of the power of the General Government. The time has come for an indignant people to rise in their might and protest against this unwarrantable invasion of their rights. If we fail in our duty our civilization will h?> loct Tho fiw? and the strniiirer will again rule South Carolina. The oppression and the tyranny which marked the histoay of Republican rule in this State will again disgrace our civilization and bring disaster upon our people. In this situation of affairs no true son of the State can doubt as to his duty. Let us stand together as one man, and while confronting the common enemy preserve for ourselves and our posterity the peace, the justice and the securi ty which under Democratic rule an classes of our citizens have enjoyed since the great revolution of 1876. They whose only offence is fidelity to to the welfare of the State must not be permitted to suffer as criminals. James F. Izlar, Chairmam. J.H.Earel, C. S. McCall, J. M. Johnson. B. P.

BREWSTER TAKEN TO TASK. Senator Butler Calls for the Sanders Correspondence?The Senate Passes the Resolution Asking the Attorney-General for Copies of the Letters. Special to the News and Courier. "Washington, March 28.?Senator Butler to-day introduced the following resolution, which was adopted without dissent by the Senate: Resolved, That the Attorney-General of the United States be and he is hereby directed to forward to the Senate a copy of his letter of instructions to Dallas Sanders, Esq., of Pennsylvania, assistant counscl to the United States District Attorney of South Carolina, under date of March 16, 1882, and the reply of Mr. Sanders thereto. In presenting it Senator Butler said that he had only seen what purported to be a copy of Mr. Brewster's letter in th/a r?oY?oi-o anrl if-o ( hfli'-iefrtr wic cr? remarkable that he could scarcely believe that tiie Attorney-General had written it. He desired, therefore, an authentic copy. When the letters are sent in Senator Butler will proceed to flagellate Mr. Brewster for his usurpation of censorship over South Carolina and his disregard of the dignity of his office by inciting partisan prosecutions.

Inciting a Scurrilous Attack on Senator j 1 Hampton?A Good Use for Government Employees -The Lowest TricI: Yet. Special to tne News and Courier. Washington*, March 27.?That John t Sherman is a political trickster and a j i speculator of public moneys, few peo- i a pie doubt after the developments of the [ c last Presidential campaign and the out- J s turn of the treasury investigation; but j 1 there is proof that he carries his scoun- t drelisin into private as well as public s life. 1 Everybody knows that since Senator c Hampton convicted William Tecumseh ^ Sherman of lying, in regard to the \ burning of Columbia, the Sherman i family have been very bitter against \ him. It will also be remembered that a during the last Presidential campaign s T 1 Jl ?1. ? ? t tJUHIl Illilf I* (HUH OUtl UIUIV VI nig I i Treasury, laid bare Iris vulgar spite by \ replying to a courteous letter of inqui-1 { it front Senator Hampton with an open ! ( letter, most offensive in its terms, and j s very insulting to the people of South i Carolina. Soon after this the notorious I South Carolina Radical and renegade c white man. Itollin II. Kirk, then em- i ployed in the treasury here, published f a scurrilous and libellous attack upon Senator Hampton, charging him with 1 having aided in murdering a score cf I negroes in Mississippi, and such other i oftences as a villainous imagination c could?conjure up. This letter was cir- 1 ciliated by ilu* Republicans during the t last Presidential campaign throughout s the West. Uoon Sherman's exit from < the treasury Kirk lost his place there.! i A month or two ago he was reinstated i and almost simultaneously his wretch- t ed campaign lies were republished by i a scavenger sheet in Charleston. i TTuon this s?veral of Senator Hamn- t " I ? l ton's friends determined to look into i the matter. Here was an employee of ) the government occupied in circulating the most abominable falsehoods t a Senator. The attacks were persona , not political, and as such could justly* be objected to. Secretary Folder was seen and the facts laid before him. He promptly adir itted that Kirk's course was a sufHcient cause for his discharge. He sent for Kirk and interrogated him. lvirk admitted having written the letter, bur begged the Secretary with tears in hi? eyes not to discharge him, as he had a wife and six children to support. The attack he declared, was ordered by a i 1 superior official- t Mr. Folger communicated these facts ; t<> Senator IlaiDp'on and offered to (lis- i charge Kirk from office if lie desired it. i Senator Hampton replied that he I would spare him. hut that he wished to 1 know who had incited the Republican. 1 Kirk, upon hearing this, stated that the I s official was Secretary Sherman, and | ( produced a letter from Secretary Slier- j i man to prove the fact. This letter was j read by Senator Hampton and others < and was returned to its owner. 1 It seems that Kirk first wrote to the < ? ? J ...L ... c secrerarv, -\vno repiscu hi suostaucc as : follows: 4,In my position I cannot ; notice these things, but I wish that : you, or some one el.se, would make a 1 formal statement of the kind against Hampton." Kirk said that coining < from the highest treasury officer he re- I garded the letter as an order, and he also asserted that Sherman promised, J if he was discharged from the treasury, I to get him a position at the Capitol. These facts have been leaking out t graduallv, atid they are now known to i several senators, wno aeciarc ic mc most dastardly act they ever heard of. I Here was the secretary of the treasury i of the United Status employing the < venotn of ni.s subordinate to strike at 1 the personal character of a Senator, i The cowardly brute who hires the ser- i vices of an assassin to murder his op- < ponent is as respectable. 1 Washington, March 30.?The Slier- ! man-AU'K Dusmess was au increasing i topic of interest to-day. This evening's | ; Critic published a sensational state- j ment of the case, which has inflamed j ! the other papers into a fever for more ' news. The Critic declares that Sena- '1 tor Hampton will bring the matter be- 1 fore ihe Senate, but this is incorrect. He was opposed to making the case notorious, having satisfied himself of Sherman's rascally conduct. State-J inents are published also that the JVews j and Courier lirst printed Kirk's attack j | on Hampton, but of course this untrue. The local scavenger did that. It has been developed that yesterday morning while Senator Hampton was being shaved in the Senate barber shop Sherman came in for some purpose or other, and advancing to Hampton said very affably: 4'It must be very pleas ant weather down your way, General." j Senator Hampton lifted his face covered with lather, gave the Ohioan a brief stare of contempt, and then subsided and told the barber to go on. Sherman was considerably confused, and in a few moments left. This incident causes as much sensation as the original matter. Hampton has now snubbed both of the Shermans. Teccmseh Sherman met him in the secretary of war's offiec a year or so ago and accosted hiin. iiainpton looked through linn and passed by w ithout answering his salutation. These things are contribu tions to the issue impending, and so I <;ive them. An effort was made to find Kirk to-night, but without success. Sherman is still reticent. The affair continues to be discussed freely in the Senate. A CYCLE OF EARTHQUAKES. From the New York nerald The recent terrible earthquake at Costa Rica recalls again the fact that we are are now witnessing one of the most remarkable periods of terrestrial UJMUi uaiivu inai uas uutu auuiu" ed. The fact that \vc hear of so many minor earthquakes, mere tremblings and shakings which cause more or less alarm without doing much damage, may be owing to the system of observation that has been recently adopted. The study of earthquake phenomena as a^pecial branch of science is comparatively new, and the men who have established what may be described as earthquake observatories, or rather observing stations, at vasious points on the globe do not allow any tremor of the ground (o go unnoticed. Bat besides the many slight shocks that have been felt in almost every country, there has been, within a year or two, several destructive earthquakes, the like of which the world, fortunately, does not frequently see. In November, 1880, occurred th* earthquake shook at Agram. About a i year ajro, in this same mouth, Cassumicciola was destroyed. A month later followed the still more terrible disaster at Chios. Shocks of less intensity were felt at times at both Agram and* Chios during the whole of hist year, and the disturbance has not even yet ceased altogether. It w as hardly to he expected that the Central Amerii-.au countries, crowded i with volcanoes and forming one of the j great centres of earthquake commotion, ! would eseapc a slinking, and the recent ! disaster at Costa Itica, is, therefore, i not a matter of surprise. More than a year ago there was evidence of the struggle of internal forces in that region when the surprising phenomenon j of a iroall volcano bursting out of the middle of a lake was witnessed at Ilo- j pan<p, in San Salvador. Disastrous shocks have, within the ! j last two years, been experienced in j two or tnree 01 me prmcjpiu eanuquake regions of the globe, namely, the Mediterranean region and the narrow waste of the Western continent. In the East Indies there has been 110 great disaster within this time, but farther north, in the interior of China, earthquakes have caused great loss of j life and property within the last twelve , months. j It is luck for New York, especially } :n view ot tne present towering1 style | of building in vogu6 there, that the | city stands upon a mass of rock that ! seems to be free from earthquake influences. ?The harsh aspect of the autumnal i I gray, which betokens the shady side ot i j life, is easily modified by the use of j i Aycr's Hair Vigor. * 1 4 r r i lie Successful Pl? \fatIon* of the South ) Carolina Statesman's Sons. From the New tork H' raid. Greenville, Mississippi, is a very hriving centre, of oyer three thousand I nhabitants . Greenville and the whoie ] djacent CDiintrv a?e srreatlv excited 1 iver a new departure in the planting ; ystem of the South, which, it is be- 1 ievcd, will work a thorough revolu- J ion in old and accepted methods. Its 1 nccessful projectors arc Patrick Cal- i iouii and John C. Calhoun, Jr., sons i >f the grea t South Carolina statesman. : rVith the latter gentleman your corresjondent had a long and interesting i ... If.. Tl.J... Un./xttlo.. Tomai. IILCX VJCW. Ml'. XJWVy IT ugvjti vuiuvo^ ? mrtner in a New York banking house, i md Mr. J.. P. Doche, attorney of tiie ame company, were in company with lini. Colonel Calhoun is a practical >lanter and owner of the Hitrwood } plantation, twenty-one miles below rreenville, in Chicot county, Arkanas. He is a clear-headed, enterprisng gentleman, highly educated, and )i-ars upon his features and in his roimnanding statnre unmistakable narks of descent from the great Xulliier. For the last ten years, Colonel Col- i loun told your correspondent, he had ; >een satisfied that the present, system i s altogether wrong and calculated to i 1 lebase instead of elevate the negro j1 aoorer. aim ruinous m an jc>jjcv,m iu , lie agriculturalists, who have became is much the helpless victims of New Orleans factor as they were before the ,var. Jlis ideas seem to have been veil and thoroughly conceived, but he opportunity to put them into effect 1 vas lacking. Just alter the war he vas the first to introduce labor from ;he Atlantic States-to the more fertile prions of the Mississippi valley, and vith commensurate success. Last year j he long coveted opportunity presented tself in the new lines of railroad pro-1 eeted by the East to tap the valley. Eie referred particularly to the projected iue of the Illinois Central, from Jackson, Mis?., ix) Arkansas City; to a line Yom the latter city to Delta, connect ng with Little Rock to the Georgia Pacific project, and others. In July ast he left for the North, and laid his project before leading capitalists of Sew York and Boston. A private ranking house took hold of it, and in October a company was formed and jonds and stocks were issued. Since hen wide purchases have been made, ind to-day the last pavment is being nade at the bank of Greenville, Suuivside, llviiers, Hebron, Fawn wood, Luna. Patriae and Latrobe, and most fertile plantations in Chicot county, ivifh .in nc.roR<re of 12.(XH) ? -- icres, have been purchased for $230,)U0 cash; $50,000 has already been iivested in agricultural implements, uid an additional large amount will be levoted to .supplies. The lands are to !>e leased to the laborers at a rental of >ne hundred pounds of lint cotton or 510 cash per acre. The company is x I ready negotiating for the purchase of 20,000 additional acrcs on tive other tvell known plantations on the opposite bank, and the negotiation has jvery prospect of reaching a satisfactory conclusion. Colonel Calhoun's ideas as expressed ire broad and somewhat statesmanlike, but too elaborate tor discussion here. He has opened successfully, Mid the plan seems destined to be extensively loiiowea inrougnoui ine South. It embraces the advantages of baying land, selling it to the laborer at the very lowest rates. Corporate capital can command means of wiping out the heavy exactions of the factors and merchants in the way of exorbitant di&counts and interest. It also embraces a sort of commercial and ro-operative service idea, and in its execution, -the elevation of the negro laborer is the aim most looked forward to. Schools and churches are to be built and a sort of patriarchal protec tion is to be extended over the negro in order to fit him for the duties of citizenship a?f&:. raise him out of the questionable position he has occupied since the warc> How far these objects will be attained remains to be seen; but one thins Is certain?the purchase has already raised the demanded price of property in the vicinity fully twenty per cent., and it is the prominent topic of conversation in every locality visited by your corresp indent since leaving Vi<*.k-shiirw. It. seems to have alreadv added a new and unfamiliar impetus to those usually apathetic people. A HE A SOX FOR IT. The effort to form a new party in South Carolina should be viewed as a business proposition, and either given support, or rejected upon its merits. If the Democratic party has done well in the past,, with perhaps a few objectionable measures to some people, and if the Republican party has done badly, with perhaps a few good things, it is to be decided by us :is plain, sensible men, whether the interests of South Carolina will be subserved by destroying the Democratic party and returnim/'theold Remibliean wartv to nower. This will probably be the result if the new party is formed; or, at best, if the hopes and aspirations of the new party men are realized, will the interests of the State be subserved by forming' a new party, which will be composed of one disaffected Democrat and ten stalwart Radicals? In our opinion, the thinking people of the State can reach but one Conclusion, which is, that the Democratic party is the party to con tinne in power in South Carolina. If. is composed of more than nine-tenths of the morality, the intelligence and the virtue of the State, and nearly or quite that proportion of the property, it has within its ranks all of the elemoms which are interested in the future prosperity and peacc of the State, and if the Democratic voters have not the virtue and the ability to correct abnses as they arise, it will be vain to look for the virtue and ability in a small fragment of this party combined with overwhelming numbers of ignorance, corruption and prejudice. Our friends who are Independently inclined have, according to our judg went, made a grave mistaKe 111 11011 making: tlieir efforts to insert their opiuionsand preferences within the Democratic party, for if they really desire refoiin of abuses, and not merely personal' -emolument, they would have a much greater opportunity for success than by the plan under which they arc attempting to operate. The masses of the Democracy are intelligent and honest. They desire good government, and from time to time vill correct abuses as they appear. If one Legislature does badly, it i9 no reason to punish the State with a Republican combination party. The remedy is to elect another Legislature that will do better. This can be done j only by making the fight inside of: party lines, for by breaking these lines j the Republicans will either elect their j own men or dictaie the combination I candidates; and the question for those j who want to leave the Democratic! le whflflipr tliov wmild I { refer the white people of the State or the negroes to choose men who are to govern South Carolina? For our part, we would fear more disaster from the combination party then we would from tie Republicans pure and simple; for the combination would be responsible Hi IIU [WriV? HIIjIC tuv jH>^]/uiyiiV<tna would be required by the National administration to keep somewhere in the neighborhood of the powers of the people for endurance. An independent! party, however, composed of nine negroes and one white man, would have all the capacity'for mischief and none of the checks which would be thrown around the Republican party itself. Our people, before leaving the Democratic parti', should not only have a ! reason fordoing so, but should be able J to cive arfcason for expecting any im- j provemerS from the new organization, j If the State is to be benefited by a I change of parties;, then it should be j made; but unless a beneficial result j is pretty certain to flow from a new party, wc fcad better let well enough : alone, and jdirect our efforts to making j sncli if anv, in the Democratic i Darty as ir?y subserve the public wei- ! fare.?Aii&enon Intelligencer. I J mmmmmmmmmmmmaBmammmmmmmmKmmmmmmmmm STUART'S LAST FIGHT. How the Dashing; Trooper Met His Death from Sheridan'A Men at Yellow Tavern. J. Estcn Cook In the Philadelphia Tim.?s. The battle had evidently reached the taming point, and Stuart saw the des-! [>erate character of hi? situation. It i ivas difficult to use his artillery in such ! i melee of friend and foe, and his left j * i l rni i sving was soon in utter nisoroer. iiie Federal attack had at last succeeded in breaking it to pieces; the men were scattering in every, direction, and seeing Msijor Breathed near him, Stuart shouted : ' Breathed! take command of all the inojinted men in the road and hold it I igainst whatever comes. If this road j is lost we are gone!" Such an order was precisely suited to the tastes of a man like Breathed. I was intimately acquainted with him, Mid never kiie;v a man who took such sincre delight in desperate fighting. At Stuart's order Breathed saluted, mid shouted to the men to follow him, charged the Federal column, apparently careless whether he was followed or not. lie was immediately surrounded j and a hot sabre ti<rht took place between j himself and his swarm of enemies. A j ?abre blow nearlv cut him out of his j . i>- ? j i - --?; i .. . K..?. I MKK1IC, JUKI IJU I'CCUIVUU ? JJISIU1 ?in/b in i hi- side, but he cut down one Federal j officer, killed another with his revolver, | and made his way out, his face stream- j in<? with blood. At this moment the i artillery opened, but a determined j charge was made on the guns, and all the pieces were captured but one. The driver of this piece lushed his horses and rushed the ?run off toward the Chickahomiuv, followed by the cannoneers, cursing and shouting: "For God's sake, hoy?, let's go back; i they've got Breathed!'" It would have been better for the jruii to have been captured. As it was whirling1 on at wild speed it broke through the cavalry, throwing them into disorder, and before the line was reformed the enemy struck it and the battle was ended. IJoth the Southern wings were driven, and there was no no hope of continuing the contest. Stuart was ncarlv in dispair, and was ?11?t? * &ut:n auvui, ^ipsuuug auw waving his sabre in a desperate attempt to rally his men, but it was impossible. The field was a scene of the wildest disorder. Federals and Confederates were darting in every direction, and one of the former, as he darted by Stuart, fired at him. and shoe him through the tody. The bullet entered his side, and passing through the stomach, inflicted a mortal wound. In its pa.ssr.gc it just grazed a small Bible which he always carried, the gift of his mother. He reeled in the saddle and was caught by Captain Dorsey, of the First Virginia, and as he had closed iiis eyes he seemed about to expire on the iield. His immense vitality, however, sustained him, and endeavoring to rise erect again in his saddle, he exclaimed to those around him: '"Go back and do your duty as I have done mine, and our country will be safe!" _ Ol'posixg thk stock Law.?The Governor or South Carolina nasonereu a reward for the detection of the disguised parties who have been riding around the country, at night, in some localities in that State, threatening farmers with vengeance if they remove their fences, as some of them were doing since the passage of the stock law by the Legislature. These disguised men were parties who probably were the owners of stock w hicii were accustomed to graze upon other people's IniiH our? ora iwif in fflUAr fif a IftW which compels them to furnish feed for j buch stock as they may own. The prejudice against the stock law has existed to a greater or less extent everywhere when first droposed, but experience does away with prejudice, and but few are found to oppose it after it has had a fair trial. That has been the case in North Carolina in the counties or townships where it has been adopted, and will be so in South Carolina, in the counties where it is now meeting with such belligerent opposition. It is a good, just and sensible law, and ought to be universally adopted. If the fences around woods and fields in North Carolina were torn down, nnrl stuck nast tired within enclosures as they should bo. and as a proper system of stock-raising would suggest, it would l>e worth an incalculable amount annually to the farmers of the State, not only in the reduced expense of building and keeping up miles offences to keep wandering siock our, but in the improvement of their own stock, and the improvement also of their lands which would result therefrom in the cultivation of grasses while they feed stock aiso become fertilizers to feed the lands which grow grain and cotton. The sentiment in favor of the stock law is growing year by year, and it is only a question of time when it will be adopted. The surprising; thing about it is that it meets with as much opposition as it does.?Charlotte Observer. Buying Bottom Lands.?A year or two airo a Michigander, who was in New Orleans, thought it would be a nice thing to own some real estate in the South, and he wasn't long in discovering a Mississippian who could accommodate him.

It is a startling fact, that quinine, arsenic, and other poisonous minerals form the basis of most of the44 Fever and Ague Preparations," 44Specifics," "Syrups," and 44 Tonics," in the market. The preparations made from these mineral poisons, although they are palatable, and may break the chill, do not cure, but leave the malarial and their own drug poison in the system, producing ouinism, dizziness. Tinging in tbe ears, headache, vertigo, and Other disorders more formidable than the disease they were intended tocnre. Ateb's Ague Cure thoroughly eradicate? these noxious poisons from the system, and always cures the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the most delicate patient; and its crowning excellence, above ! its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the system as Iree from disease as before the attack.
