It now contains uh?ut i ls,oij() words defined, and nearly 15.ihk) words and meanings not found in any other one diction-j arv. The Biographical IMctionary, just added, supplies a want long felt by tne reader I and student. <n giving the desired Information so bnettj\ Never was any one volume i so complete an aid in getting au educu-j . tlon. Mr. Wx. Walters, of Fort Worth. Texas, Is now in this bounty on a visit to Mr. Matthew C. Owens. Mr. Walters is the widower <of Jane Oweus, sister of Matthew Owens, who died at Fort Worth on April 11. She emigra- i ted from Dibfoy, Scotland, thirty years ago, and was married by Mr. Walters in 1851. We I have it copy <*l the Furl Worth IicmocriU which pays the deceased Mrs. Walters a touching ! tribute. Orkk* Cam.aiias, a respectable colored man of the Bordeaux section, was in town last Saturday paying taxes. He wa.s the first ; to pay Ustyear." He is now the sole owner- J r>f 640 acres of land, which is assess I rd at S2,8W?, which was bought and paid for) ftinee the war. He has done this "nd support- j e.1 a large family. I<et us hear no more of the unprofitableness of farming in Abbeville ; county. Thk report of the Unveiling of the Confederate Monument la*t week in Columbia, is! taken from the ?V?iot and Courier,una js imiy i up to the highest standard of that paper. We i haveRiven a large proportion of the account! and It will be found to be highly interesting. Being a part of our history every subscriber j to the Frets and Banner, should re; id it, and; lay the paper away for future reference. A great number of battle-scarred '"onfede-' rate flags were exhibited at the unveiling of, tbe Monument. A Hag belonging to the various Regiments of McGowan s Brigade, and one belonging to the Tenth and Nineteenth South Carolina Kcglments were among the J number. To enumerate the flags and tliej "different companies represented would con-i sume too much of our space. We have seen a printed copy of the minu-! tea of the last Presbytery, which met In Ah-1 bevillo, about ?. month ago. and we are gljid j to note the ubseneeof the irrepressibit- "Ool-J onel." This in, our opinion, is right. Xotli-, log npj>ears more absurd than the factor a.: few preachers and a lot of "Colonels," "Otj>-\ tains," J:c., composing a court of the Prince' of Peace. A cow belonging to Joseph Mcllwain, colored, has not talcen food nor water for nearly ; two weeks, and apparently Is as healthful j now as ever.?Z*ancu*'.cr Jteriew. The strange i part of this story, is that she is "apparently j as healthy as over." Cows In this County think nothing of going two week's without: food. Westward Ho! ? Emniellne Counsellor,' f/?r BAvwrnl vwirv r?rmk ill Mt'. t (iowan's family (and a Rood cook and faith-j ful servant wok she.) left Abbeville yesterday morning for Missouri, to join her brother I who lives there.

All ilie Ingenious eoiisfilu-i' lii tial iiair.splitting is mere dust thrown in-j' to t he eyes of excited partisans. The demo-!1, erats why started litis fooli>h and needless!! controversy about:thc employment of troops 1 in tlie elections were groping for an issue o:i 1 which their party couiu he so united as to,' east into tlie background its notorious ditl'er-1 1 enccNon tiie currency <|uesiion ami ail other questions of Immediate public interest. Their pretended tear ?f army interference j < with the elections was egregious "make be? 11 lievc," and they are getting what, they descr- [ i veil for trifling with great public interests by ; < producing a sham issue. In playing ibis des- |i jierate political game they are beginning toil " '*> in M... hii.i.lw of I I iiiiii niiii. im.- iiiuii|< ?.?>< .? ...? - their opponents. lJefore they get. through j ] they will come toil realizing sci.se of their ji fatuity in agitating tin? country and disturb-.1 ing business interests over :i feigned iiuirin . which isn inerechimcra without uny t?ugi-l blc facts to support it. What excuse can the democratic lenders j. give for putting the country to the expense', of I his extra session of Congress? Thcprcs-j cut veto makes it certain that all their pet riders to appropriation (tills will be vetoed, i, They will be compelled to pass the appropri-; ] at ion bills pure and simple us-they should have ?lone in the last Congress. What, then, , have they gained bv forcing this extra se.s-' fcion? What they have lost is too evident.. I'hey have thrown uway the prestige vrliich they might have gained by a wise and mod crate use ?f their control of both houses of. Congress. They have destroyed eonlidencej in their fitness to be intrusted with the di-t Section of the federal govern men t by their | unscrupulous readiness to abuse the incom-! nlete power which they possess, 't'liey have | been swift to proclaim, with suicidal precipitancy, that democratic rule is not peace, but agitation, instead of the tranijuiHty, the u conservatism, tbecautious and circumspect moderation which it behooved them to ex-|s hibit as petitioners t<? the people for full control of the government, the tirst use the.vji they make of their ascendency in Congress is j to throw the country into a new and violent agitation. The people desire repose. They! arc tired and sick of Political agitation anil excitement. After t lie disturbing eon trover* siesof tlie last twenty years they prefer King Log to King stork. Their intetifc yearning i for unlet and tranquility has received a rude I shock by this unrcllectlug attempt of the': new democratic majority to throw tlie cour;try into political convulsions for the mere j sake of creating a new party issue. The defeat and humiliation which have; overtaken these unscrupulous agitators arei richly merited. They will carry none of their measures and they dare not withhold | the appropriations. They began with ji vir- j tuai threat to stop the supplies and cripple f the government. It wasan evident attempt, to coerce t he President to sign their repealing! legislation. They learn too late that it was I an idle and foolish menace. Threats of thai kind are serious thing*. They dare not?we] repeat with confidence, they dare not?put' | them in oxccution. The reason why they will not incur no tremendous a reponsibility , was tirst clearly slated by Secretary Sherman I In his recent conversation with our corres-! ; pondent at his home in Manstleld; but it is! ! so obvious that the democratic leaders! I should not have been blind to it when ttiey beuan the hazardous experiment from which l | they will be compelled to retreat, by an li re-| slstible cotupulMun. The reason why they; I will notdare to withhold the supplies is so' j simple ttOit it admits of a very brief state-i i meiit. Its substance Is that a refusal of t tic* j appropriations does not repeal the revenue I ; laws. The duties on imports and other taxes j will continue to be paid into the Treasury! whether tlieyare disbursed or n<>t. It the; ! money is not paM out it will ai'cumulatc in | the Treasury, making a constant and stupen- ; jdous drain upon th'c circulating medium,! j which is the very llfo-hlood of business. The ! j practical effect won hi be a rapid and ciior-i uiouscontraction of the currency, creating! j a scarcity of money that would strangle the; 1 business of the country. The democratic! party itself would be the llrst to mutiny | against such a state of things. It hasstrcnu-l ously and fanatically insisted on expansion, I on an abundance of money, nqd when ii I found that its own leaders had put on the I screws and caused the most tremendous contraction of the currency ever known, it is easy to imagine tin; malediction that would be uttered, if the three hundred millions per annum which are paid into the Treasury' were kept there. If the money of the country j were thus looked up from business uses, the] stringency and distress would he beyond en- ; durance, and the.country would soon be in a ' state bordering on revolution. Such a storm : I of discontent and indignation would set in' that the deni>?cratic party would tie swept ] away like chall" before a whirlwind. This; (consequence <Jf. withholding the appropria-1 i tions is so obvious when stated and so Itocvi| table, that if anything can be predicted with i certainty it may bo safely aftirmed that the democrats in Congress will not ^'o to the in| sane length of locking up the circulating medium in the National Treasury, thus ejiu^lnul I a contraction of thecurreney more rapid and vlolentthau Was ever known In the history j of any coinnierclal country. j IMS curtain mat tmu appropriation mu.s I will be passid. Jt makes little difference to j ttic public whether the existing appropriations are continued until the next, meeting of | Congress or whether the new appropriation I bills ure passed without political riders. If the democrats are not bereft of foresight they will pass the regular bills, for if they try to I bridge over the ditiieuity they will find themselves in the same helpless predicatncnt at I the beginning of the next session in which they are now put by the resolute vetoes of >! the President. They can retreat with less j dishonor and less damage to their party now than seven months hence. Kit her now or then their retreat must be absolute, for they cannot repeal the revenue laws, and no party can live which contracts the currency by I'euusing it to accumulate in the Treasury ana j to be kept there. The irresistible potency of this argument may be securely relted on for .! nullifying democratic lira\ adoubout stopping | the supplies. *eem**mmE#**xcirrK?e?2mcEr?mc**B*e*?K* County Auditor.
