Tbt friend* of thla gentleman will be gratU
led to learn that he baa bean elected to Congreu
in the State of fleorgla. He la worthy
of the honor^ lf a good capacity, atrial Integrity
and patriot lam, are conaidered qualification*

dtiiiM to continue in Ihn position. The Congressional
District bo represents ia in tbo upper
part of Georgia, where ihn Democratic
party ia largely in the asoendant?tbo white
population being predominant. But the whole
State has gone Democratic, in apite of the
artfal management of the Radical*. Out of
eeren members of Congress, the Democrats
bare elected flee, and, it is supposed, at least
two-thirds of the Legislature. South Carolina
ia surrounded by Democratic States.?
North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee, ere
strong in their anti-radical majortics. Lousiana,
Arkansas and this State, ere the onty
States of the South and Southwest left under
Badical rule by recent eleotions. Mississippi
has had no election of Into.
It is to bo heped that the failure of tho
President in attempting to sustain tbo pro
eeriptire ring of the Republican party in
Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee end
Georgia, will teach the administration a
wholesome lesson, and that tbey will learn
that justice and magnanimity are virtues better
calculated to conciliate the South than all
the proscriptive measures that can be devised.
The people of the United States of tho lie*
publican party, are more advanced in liberal
and fr?e Republican principles than many of
the politicians; but it is encouraging to soo
so many members of Congress, of that party,
now taking the side of liberality, and favor*
ing the removal of all disabilities. They will
gain more than they will loso in party
strength by such a course, and relievo thoir
party from the position of persecutors of tho
fallen; a position that all virtuous and en*
lightened men of every nation havo con*
demned, and which readers every party that
perseveres in such a course, odious in history.
Gen. Grant must see and realize this fact,
and relieve himself of bad counsels. Wo expect
him to return to the magnanimous course
he adopted at General Lkk's surrender, which
was then hailed as tho dictate of a noble nature;
that nature, wo hopo, can hardly bo entirely
extirpated yet by bitter politicihns.
The South Carolina Legislature.
This bedy is to reassemble to-morrow,
January 6th. The most terrible power is
held by it over the properly and rights of
the people; reform was promised hy the
Republican*, hut we hear of the creation of
new salaries and the threat to tax all property
nine mills on the dollar for the State,
instead of the tax of 6 mills of la&t year,
and as yet no movement to reduce the oner
ous and unnecessary number of county officers.
One lax collector for each county, as J

Assessors or Auditor* ; give him a moderate
salary, and he will do the work. The sala
ries or pay of School Commissioners, and
Coanly Commissioners, ought to be largely
reduced, and the pay of every officer cut
down to moderate limits, and the sal -ried
clerks of different public officers, heretofore
an unkuown expense, should be dispensed
with. Let the Legislature show that their
object is the public interest, and not to
plunder the people, to make places and salaries
for hungry party men. Let the Leg.
islature reduce the costs of suits, and restore
tho old law of appea's to the Supreme
Court, so that poor men may get the benefit
of the highest tribunal in the State. This
last Legislature, which has assumed to be
the friend of the common people, have practically
denied them in the protection of law
by their costs; and law compelling security
to psy a judgment before appeals can be
taken, and then compelling the payment of
sixty dollar* in the Appeal Court. Let the
Legislature also give the right of appevl
without rom^e/faty pat ties t? print brief*,
as was done by the Legislature of 1865,
If the Legislature will also pnas Mr.
Wilkks bill, to repeal the act of 1866-, on
the usuary laws, and restore the old law,
we would at once have better times. The
Legislature will do these things unless controlled
by monied men and by office scekeis.

Cold Weather, lee Plenty.

was colder than it has been for man}* years,
in Greenvills. The thermometer was down

on Christmas morning to 1 degree. Nothing
like this has been known since Feb. 8th,
1835, when the thsrmonetcr sunk 10 or 11

Two liUlo bfjri, jut large enough to plow,
who wore going to eehool in the City of GreenrUle,
rmiaed to apend their Saturdays in
working, Mnd of idling awajr their time in
aenntoriog about the stroots. They went out
to their father'a farm, three mllea from town,
and aeleeted patohee of ground, which the
tenants thought too poor to cultivate. In
the rprtng of laat year, they sowed some of
these little patches in oats, which yrear finely,
aa the season suited this crop. Then tbey
hauled several loads of manure and spread
over other patches for corn. Tbey were late
in commencing, and bad to plant their corn
and peas before breaking np the ground. But
every Saturday tbey went out and plowed all
day. The crop was worked well, and tbey
mado thirty busbcU of corn, fourteen bushels
of peas, which tbey picked themselves, twelve
hundred bundles of fodder, which tbey pulled
in the hottest weather we ever had, and eightyfour
dosen of oatj, besides a pretty good crop
, of watermellons. The corn at one dollar per
busbol, is $30 ; peas, at one dollar and fifty
cents per bushel, is $21; the fodder, at one
uuuur nnu uuj teins por nunurea, 10 f is, and 1
the oats, at 20 cants per dosen, is (16.80,
makes the nice little sum of (85.80. The
watcrmelluns wero eaten or given away.?
They have not yet sold their corn, peas and
fodder, but hold on for a bettor market Yn the
spring and summor. So much encouraged
wore they by their crop, that they sowed and
ptowod in during the past fall, four bushels of
wheat, after manuring their patches pretty
well with barn-yard manure, scraped up and
hauled out by] themselves. They intend to
enlarge their corn crop the present year, and
are going to oloan up, during tho winter sun*
dry brier patches and nooks of old fields.?
How well it would be for other boys to follow
their cxamplo. It is said that every boy is
brought up to ?pend money, or make money,
and that tho oue will give as much pleasuro as
tho other. Tbero is, however, a wido difference
botwoen theso two pleasures in their rosuits.
The ono is apt to make a loa'or and
vngabond, and tho other a useful and respectable
citizen. Labor in the field is no longer
disreputable to the educated and refined, but
idloness is, and leads to want, misery and
vioo.
Dreadful Fire in Richmond, and other
places.
We give on our outside the full particulars
of the burning of the SpoUwood Hotel,

occurred on Sunday morning, December
25th. The loss of life on the occasion was
horrible, and is another dark spot in the

A fire occurred at Jacksouville.Fln., on lite
evening of the 191 h ult, destroying pioper

Ed!iori?Allow me, through the
columns of your paper, to say a fow words in
regard to the exhibition given by Mr. Miller's
school, at tho Marietta Academy, on Thursday
vening, tho 15th December, 1870. Notwithstanding
the inclement woatber, thero was
a full house in attendance. The exercise.
wore opened with an iraprossive prayer by
Mr. M., after which followed spooking by the
boys and rcoitations by the young ladies, most
of which were well chosen?poetical piec#9 of
noble sentiment; some were political, and a
few of a criminal character. We forbear personating
by name those who, perhaps, excelled
in these excroises, lest wo should do injustice
to some deserving notice. All did well.- Next
in order were the Charades. Wo will mention
the names of Miss Mainie flood, Miss Emma
Ambler, Miss Hugie Cox, Miss Mamie Anderson,
and Miss Hannah Heaborn?who received
the applause of the audience for their success
in personating their respective characters.?
Among the males who were conspicuous for
thoir good performance, were Masters Thomas
floest, Mays Cleveland, Belton Ambler, ThosMorton,
Arthur floodwin, and Thos. Anderson?the
latter acted tbe "Servant Boy"
with great success.
We were next entertained with an oration
from Master Bennie Cleveland, (about three (
years old.) His boldness of speech so much
astonished the audience, as to " bring down
the house."
The prises offered tor highest classical
standing, were awarded to Master Arthur ^
floodwin, of the Acadetnle, and Miss Bonnie
flood, of the Primary Department. The ex
ercises were interspersed with excellent mueio
by Messrs. Murpliy, Long and Harrison.?
These gentlemen sre too well known to the
public a* musicians, to say n.ore of them ia
his place. .
The exhibition was entertaining tboroughout
and reflects much credit on all engaged in it. i

' # SPECTATOR.
Pllarlotta, Norambar 17th, 1870.
To the Voters of Greenville
?L County,
play perhaps requires llmt
the card issued by Mr. W. T. Shumate
should be replied to.
In the first place, I have to say
that 1 bad nothing to do with the
call thfi rtinvunlimi ni" in ita I
organization, or action, when assembled.
I was simply a candidate
for the nomination. If Mr.
Shumate or his friends had thought
there was anything wrong, the objection
should have been made at
the tiino, and not after ho had
been defeated. Will any one be
lieve that if Mr. Shumate had
been nominated by the Convention
is organized, that be would bave
objected to its action?
If I had been defeated, I would
most certainly bave submitted and
no disturbance would ever bave
accurred in our rauks from my
action.
If I should decline to run, or
suffer myself to be crowded out,
under this stato of things, I should
bo recreant alike to duty and to
friends.
If tho result ol this contest
Bhould bo a victory for the opposing
party in our County, the responsibility
will not be upon me
or my friends. I have the highest
regard for the gentlemen who sign
the call upon Mr. Shumate, but I
deny that they had any authority
ior saying in tncir call M that the
Convention was illegal and unauthorized
and that the Candidate
nominated is not acceptable to the
majority of the voters of Greenville
County."
I here refer to the entire proceedings
of the Convention, signed
by the Chairman and Sccrotary,
l/C^utiou I tUn J a
know who were the actors in this
Convention. I am proud that I

were self-appointed. 1 therefore feel

Spread tha Truth.
Sum - medical men insist that, it is undignifie-ljto
ndvei tise a remedy, however val>
anhla it may be, Q ieer reasoning this.?
It is like saying that an article which the
world needs should be hid in a corner?
' that benefits snd hless'ngs may be too .
widely diffused?that the means of protecting
and restoring health should he a close
> monopoly, and not acce?sthle to all. The
argument is bad. It is worse than that; it
is inhuman Suppose Hosteller's Hiotnseh
ntt? .r. -i?-a. A..
bilioomess and nervous del ility?had nsvl
*r been ki own beyond tl?e repertoire of the
I faculty, what would have been I he oonse'
quence ? Instead of curing snd invigora'
ling millions, the goo i effects of ths prep
aril ion wo ild have b e-i confined to a
J c-'injiara'ive few. There is the highest as
moiii)- tor Haying that light should not bo
hid under a husbel ; that whatever 1* excellent
should be placed as a oily on a hill,
where all men can lake c 'irniz.ti.ee of it.?
It it upon this principle that the Btttere
have beei* advertised and continue to It
advertised in every newspaper of any
promineooe in the western hemisphere, and
that the spontaneous lesliin nials in itn
favor have been translated into all written
languages. Thousands enjoy perfect health
to-day who w ?uld he languishing on beds
?i sickness if the newspapers had not *pre*d
the truth teith regard to thii unequal invig*
orant and corrective far and wide. 8nppo?e
profit Jbis been r?apel from this publicity,
js that any argument against, it) If the
public health has been pr?'t<*cted ; If lives
have been savel;il the leeb'e have been
J strengthened and the rb-k restored, great
1) good ha* been accomplithed: and wbo so
menu us to giudge to exertions thus directed
their fair reward f 33?4
Common Sence Compressed.
IT ia difficult to (give in n doten line* the
reasons why TARRANT'S KRLTZRR APE1
KIKNT should be preferred na ? corrective
nnd alterative to every other medicine in use.
Firstly, it alloys fcv.r; secondly, it cleanses
s the bowels without violence or pain; thirdly,
it tones Iho stomncb ; fourthly, it regulates
> the flow of hile ; fifthly, it promotes healthy
> perspiration ; sixthly, it relieves the system
> front unwholesome humors ; seventhly, it
' tranquilizer the nerves ; eighthly, it acts upon
the blood as a depurent; and lastly, it forms
