We heartily approve of,' the building of railroads everywhere, a;j' we believe that nothing does more to dovelopo a country tlian railroads. The ' people of Lowndosvillo ai-o certainly abundantly able to build their mil, if they so will it, and wo are very much mistaken if they are not now in earnest, (iroenvvood soeins determined and 1 Ninety-Six is not less so, "Wo wish each ; enterprise success, Wo can't luve too] many railroads. Lively Time at Orangeburg. ! ( Judge Cooke is having a lively time with tho jurors and lawyers in Orange-j burg. Several criminal eases hail been l, submitted to the juries in whieli the ovi-l, iloneo that tho accused were guilty was clear and unmistakable, but the verdict in every ease was '-not guilty." The juaies were composed entirely of negroes, , and only two out of iwelve could write theirnatnes. Tho Judge told tho Solicit-j or that it would be impossible to go on! with tho business of the term, and that if; a motion was not made by tho Solictor,! the Court woi'ld continue all tiio cases. A. li. K.iowlton, a Iladical lawyer, thereupon madesomo ins.dting remarks to the| Judge, and upon being taken to task the! lio.vt day, asked Jud^o Cooke alter the j Cou't a liournod. if he \u?uid accept a; challenge. The .1 mlye promptly had him j bound over by Trial Jus, ire Meyer to j koep iiio peace, ajid ordered iliac he xhow cause on Thursday morning why! lie should not bo attached for co?itempt, j and suspended from practicing as an at- j * tornev. It is quite likely thai. his nainej will bo st.-icken from tno roll of :ntorjievs. We !'cel confident thai tlio Judge! iv'd sustain tho d'guiiy of ilie Cou.ii.

We ean fyncy the sort of fun tho lift'e:: darkies at the State Ne^ -o Orphan Asylum had w?th all the lovs, lirev.orks and tixings bought for them by tuc managers. , See Mr. Hemphill's !ei(e:\ It is a ma;io.of doubt whether all that was bought i'or them ro.nicl iis way to them. Some of lie a i image's children no doubti were counted in among the "0r-| phans." This may be "going behind 1 lie | '> face of the returns," but we bet those manager's children were "counted in." | And Now Scuntor II. J. Maxwell Goes Down. Senator II. J. Maxwell, negro, of Marlboro. has been cauirht by the Investigating Committee. He received a bribe of' $1.0*K) to vote for the appropriation of ' $325,000 for the Printing Company. He is now in jail in default of bail. It is said | that he has resigned his scat in the Son- < ate, which will give room for another Democrat. ' One 31 ore I'ufortunatc. ! : Negro Congressman Smalls, formerly m Slate Senator from IJeauio. i, has been arrested by o'der of the Investigating Committee, for receiving a bribe of s.>,000 to vote for the appropr iation of $??>,000 . lor the Printing Company. The proof is i conclusive, and he has been bound over ' to the Court of Sessions.

Card from Mr. Hemphill. Editor Press and Banner : If Mr. Hood had been a constant read- i er of the Medium perhaps he would" not have l'elt called upon to write tho article | about myself which nppcared in your : last issue. Hereafter i snail nave mucn : | more to say on the "bond question" in! liny own paper and therefore I will not i j trespass upon your kindness l'or space in ' I the J'rc.w ?n<l Hanner at this time. Ifj Mr. Hood will write more frequently fori i the newspapers and carefully read a few f {standard literary works ho may with I | more propriety assume to boa judge of good rhetoric. When lie finishes the investigation of the bonds he will be con strained to admit that the levy of a tax of j |$270,000 to pay interest on the bonds was! unnecessary at the time it was made. Ilis himlsight will lead him to the same conclusion, my fore sight did mo months ago and he will willingly assist us to rei lievo the people from paying interest on j tlie many fraudulent claims which are jhehl against the State in tho shape of I | Consolidated Bonds.

James A. Duncan, 1). 1)., president of Randolph, / 'aeon. This unexpected cvciu occurred yesterday morning, September L'l.h at 4 o'clock, at his residence i Ashville, Va. Dr. Dun an was born in the city of Norfolk, Va., in 18:10. Ho was therefore forty-seven J years of age all ho time of his death? [just in the prime and malurilyof his life. I lie was a wonderful prodigy in intellect. | llis early elloris in the ministry was marked ' i?y a ra nge of thought far in advance of his years, for he began t'j prcach when he was but nineteen years of age. He rose rapidly in Ins chinch, and .-non became a man of mark, lie was elected j a delegate to (lie Ueneral Conference of j 18M5, held in the eily of New Orleans, and i oven then, thoiigli but thirty-six years of j age, was spoken of for the Episcopacy in 1 hiscliu'vh. He was a member also v>l? the (ieneral Confc'enee held in Memphis, jTenn., in ISSit, and came within a few ! votesuf being elecied bishop"at that Conlose nee, and doubtless would have been i elecied but lor the fact that a number of | tho delegates from tho Virginia Confer: cucc did what, they could to prc\ cut his election in order to retain him as president of ltaudolph-Maeon college. At that ii.no they really felt that the success of the co'lege depended upon him; that no one could till his place. Ho was again a delegate lo ihe Ceneral Conference of 1874, held in Louisville, Ky. Thai Con fere.ice elected no new bishop; but had he been spa *ed till May,' 187.S, there was no man iu >he church that stood a better chance for a-i election to l he Ep'scopacy loan Dr. Duncan. At the <>ene*al Conference held in Louisville Dr. Duncan was appointed one of iho l'raI icrn;fl nnsseners to I ue (ieneral Con lb; - I euce of the Melliodist Jipiscopul Chinch (Norih,) lo l>e held iiillje city of JJuliil more iu May. ls7i>.
