civil law supremoj this Grant has not done.
To 8o<L a man whoso whole record through
the struggle of the past would bo acooptablo
to all sections of tho American people, would
be finding a miracle. Light is beginning to
penetrate the messes of the Worth. Greeley,
Sumner end Bcburs ere 'breaking down the
prejudices of the past, and we should aid them
in the progress of the work. I have believed,
and still believe, that our main dependence
for relief lies in a correctly enlightened Norths
era sentiment.
The man who, In the parable, fell among
thieves and robbers, end who was left naked
and half dead, did not refuse relief becauso it
was offered him by a Samaritan, a man with
niivui N n UO Oia DO UOtllDgl. 'J. DO Stmerltan
became bis neighbor, while bis countrymon,
the Priest and Lerite, passed by on
the other sido. Let us make a practical application
of this parable to the present plun*
dered, bruised and beaten condition of our
oountry. We need the oil and wine of relief,
and I am willing to take it at tho bands of
Mr. Oroeley. Ho already admits tho praotical
failure of tho reconstructed state of gov
crnments in the South. He has declared in
sontiment that peace and ordor cannct exist
in society where ignoranpe1 and rice control
the laws. Seeing the condition, be knows tho
remedy. Let the whites and- blacks of tho
South settle their own domestio relations without
foreign Interference, and we wiU soon hare
peace and satisfaction.
At the close of the great civil war, many of
the Northern leaders boldly advocated, and
even Andrew Johnson after Lincoln's assassination,
appeared to favor the measure of putting
to death a number of Southern leaders as
a penalty for "treason." But tJreeloy's amnesty
policy said, "No ; blood enough has been
shod." The Now York Tribune was a power
upon tho Northern masses and the government,
too. Had it been controlled by the
swelling tide for rovongo that boat upon all
sides of tho government, I have little doubt
that Jeff. Davis, Gen. Lee. ond many others
of tho lost cause wmiU Kn?n K..-_ ?
??
shot. " A friend in need is a friend indeed."
After the surrender of our armies and the assassination
of Lincoln, which I always thought
unfortunate for the country, was the time that
we needed a friend at the North to moderate
the vindictive passions that wcro demanding
retaliation upon Southern men. That friend
was found in Horace Greeley. Rising head
and shoulders above tho common mass, he
placed himself bctwecu popular passion, which
was likely to move the government in its suc>
cess with ii spirit for revenge, and tho lives of
our people. I believe that his amnesty policy
and his being bondsmen for Mr. Davis saved
the lives of many Southern leaders.
The war is now over ; slavery is abolished ;
wo never want it re established ; tho enfran*
ckisemcnt of the blacks has been endorsed by
a popular vote of tho American people ; and,
seeking to heal the wounds of tho past, let us
go on to peace and prosperity in the future.
The country needs peace. I want it; we all
want ii. Wo want peace at home and abroad,
a thing that tho policy of President Grant
does not sufficiently foreshadow. His course
towards the Southern people has not been pa*
ciflo. In my humble judgement, he has shown
neither the wisdom nor the sagacity becoming
the Chief Magistrate of a groat Republic. Tho
plea that he has executed the law, is not sufticicnt
to justify him in his course. Did he
not adhere to one side in tho dispute, and re*
fuse to listen to the other? ne has shown
himself deficient in sagaoitv, for his KuKlux
law, which it was claimed at the time was intended
to.secure l)i* re-election, I have no doubt
will prove his defeat. I have always been op*
posed to all "clicking parties," knklnxing and
the like. The measures which they introduce
must inflict upon society worse evils than
those which they attempt to remove. They
are not the means for tbo settlement of either
private or public wrongs. Just before the
election, two years ago, when the excitement
was getting very high, whloh grew out of the
report that Scott was using the Leagues to
carry the State by force, I offered resolutions
in a citizens' meeting, held in Dnnklin Township,
stating that every person entitled to vote
should be allowed to deposit his ticket without
dread, or constraint, upon the part of any one*
I went to the polls, but was not allowed to
vote, because I would not swallow the infamous
and outrageous election oath. Here I
stood practically disfranchised, not allowed to
vote for Governor of my State, or any other
officer, because I considered it an outrage up*
ou the civil rights and privileges of a free oitizen,
when no one oould challenge bis ticket
not to be permitted to deposit it, unless he
would first take an insulting test oath. I turned
from it as I would from the poison of a venomous
serpent. To free us from these odious
oaths, and restore the right of voting and
holding office to the good men of the country,
who alone scruple to take tbem, Horace Greeley
comes forward bearing the olive branch of
peace and amnesty. Let us take all we can
get, and, losing sight of the past, press on
wara to save our country from anarcby or a
centralised despotism.
Respectfully, A. C. 6TKPP.

moderate price was put upon It. By this
means many hundrod dollars might be saved

could be easily doubled and trea quadrupled.
Let the authorities furnish to every house
good slop barrel*, and nsyaire the slops to be
put into them, and have carts to empty them
into the pens daily or as often as necessary.
In addition. It would be well to pot in a few
bushels of lime and charcoal with the water
and other refuse, la order to retain ammonia
and other valuable gases, wbioh would otherwise
escape. Also, bare other scavenger parties,
whose duty it should be to visit every
man who keeps either horses or oows, and offer
to olean out his stables and eow pens and
remote contents to the places of deposit. Many,
who have no use for the manure, would
be glad to get rid of It in that way.
Next, let the City authorities rtquirt that
all privy bouses be so constructed that barrels
with lime and charcoal or dirt be placed under
thorn, and these removed and emptied, and
others plsoed in their stead every week or ten
days. In addition to improving the sanitary
condition of the City, many tons of the most
valuable manure known might be saved, sold
and credited to the City, thus decrees iug taxes
benefitting health, increasing'the productions
of the farmer, and again coming back to tbo
merchant, increasing his sales too. While a
few of the oitixens may take care of those little
things, I know that fully nine-tenths would
be glad of the arrangement, as it would take
off their hands a very unpleasant and muoh
neglected job of work. I think this plan
would be productive of large results, especially
about factories, mills, hotels and other
places of business, where they can make no
use of this valuable manure. By mixing all
together, through the course of throe or four
uiuu\ui a loniiisor, fijun, u nm superior, 10
the best Peruvian guano may be prepared,
and aold at one-fltth of tho coat of Peruvian,
and then give handsome profits to the town.
Besides, there are many other ways by
which the amount might be increased which
would readily suggest themselves to any good
practical man. While I think it the better
plan, and have advocated the City authorities
taking the matter in hand, still it would giro
to any company or private individual handsome
results, if managed with proper energy
and judgment. But keeping up tho sanitary
condition is tho duty of tho city officials, and
saving and utilising would add but little to
the primary costs, while in the end it would
result in au immense saving.
While what I have written is applicable
particularly to Greenville, it is applicable in
a still more extended sense to all larger cities.
If Charleston eould save all tho garbage which
is daily thrown into the river, and could collect
in large reservoirs?pump out and remove
every day the contents of her hugo sowersand
underground drains,HI have no doubt that
it would result in freeing the city from all
onerous taxation, and increase tho general
health from ten to twenty per cent. Why, at
tho end of one year thero would bo more and
better fertilisers saved than is made by auy
company in the titato.
It is said that the farmers in the vicinity of
Paris are beginning to use large quantities of
the contents of the sewers on their lands, alleging
that it increases the yield from ten to
thirty per cent.
Why should we throw away so much good
manure when larmcrs aro continually sending
off after fertilisers and getting swindled very
often, besides paying such enormous prices for
what we eau make better at home ?
Some may raise objection to the cost, but
why not convert the men whom the County
has In Jail into a chain gang, and put them to
work, by this means making them earn their

Dr. IP. H. TV.tr ;
Dear Sir?I feel it a duty to ynu and to suffering
humanity to make public tbe great
merits of yonr Extract Sarsaparilla and
Queen's Delight. For years I have been a
great Sufferer, mv general health broke down,
and I was afflicted with nervousness of the
most terrible character, whioh was soon followed
by an eruption all over the body, forming
large ulcers in some places, and attended
with rheumatic pains. Tongue cannot describe
my suffering ; I was reduced almost to
a skeleton, and bad a perfect loathing of food.
I was attended by several physicians, who
rendered me no relief. I despaired ot ever
being well again ; but, thanks to a kind Providence,
I accidently heard of your medicine.
I sent for half a dosen bottles, and before I
had takeu three I began to feel better, my appetite
improved, and the rheumatie pains became
less severe and I could enjoy sleep. I
Dave continued it* use, and have taken eleven
bottles, and believe I am a aound man again.
The uloent have all healed, my skin la smooth
and bealtby, and I have gained 22 pounds in
weight. I believe my aickness resulted from
a taint of scrofula. I would earnestly recommend
yonr compound to my fellow-sufferers.
With deep gratitude to you,
1 am ever your friend,
JAS. FRANKLIN.

Change* of Food In the XouthMan,
if he wonld preserve the fabrie and
maintain the functions of bis body, must eon*
sume food. This must be oonverted into
blood, upon whieh the whole system draws for
whatever it requires. To make blood, the
food must be completely transformed. First
it is subjected to the mecbanieal action of the
teeth. But no mechanioal aetion can liquify
solids. Therefore during mastication the sal*
iva is poured into the irouth. The saliva is
alkaline, containing salts of soda, potass and
lime. It serves to lubricate the month and
moisten the food, so that it may assume the
pasty oondition. Its ehemical constituents
are needed to convert the staroby elements
(useless as starch) of broad, potatoes, etc.. into
a sugar, Thus, if a little pure staroh be
ebeired, it will become sweet, being oonverted
into sugar bv the saliva. The saliva also oonverts
sugar into laotio acid, which the stomach
demands as a oondition of its aetion. If
food is swsllowed listlessly and without appo*
tite, it is certain that the lirst conditions of
digestion have been violated. The food is
thrown unprepared into tbe stomach. The
gastrio juice oannot do tbe office of the saliva.
The result is Dyspepsia. Now by a thoroogh
knowledge of the natural laws governing digestion
and nutrition, and by a skillful manipulation
of oarefully selected stimulant and
tunio herbs, Dr. Fisoh, In bis Bitters, has provided
a remedy whieh, acting directly upon
tbe nervous system, stimulates appetite, and,
as tbe resulting reflex ot this, promotes the
secretion both of the gastric juioe and of the
saliva, thereby enabling the alimentstive organs
to eonvert the material* ot the food into
nutritious blood, and to transform the qui**'
