A few days ago wo received a, postal card, on vrliicli was printed the fo!lowing : Paulous Kim>t??Ni> Pukss ri.rn, {' P iiiCilMiisu. Va., January I, I>s|. 1'eak Sir: Plensosend your paper to the ?

Wc respectfully decline to comply with that j request, It Is no matter to us as to the mini- J ber of "leadine journals" the "Richmond I Pjcss Club" may receive. We do not doubt J the fact that the club does receive u number | < { the "leading journals," but we do doubt ' bthe fact that the "Kichmond Press flub" have the impudence to send to them h request as was sent to us. We do!, 1 our paper to any "clubs" or to anyl] g^^p.eats" of any kind,even if thov should i mill assume to call themselves n MMHBsAjiiii Association." Wo print the /Ve.? Mnncr for such persons or associations mas he willing to pay for it. It is therefore ? vaste of time and postage to send ri?} 1 quests of this kind to us, worded in an auto-!| cratiecr patronizing way, intimating that the; keeping of our paper on tile in their magniti-1 > cent rooms will bo a sufficient remuneration j' for nor labor. What About the Lino Fcnco. We have not as yet been able to gel a sight of the recentaei of the Legislature extending tho stock law to Cooper and Gray township" , In Edgefield county. The line of these town" : chips runs from Island Ford along the Abbe-' vllle line to Mr. Nut. Henderson's farm. The ;, Hock law in these townships will go intoef-i feet on the lstof April next. We do not know [1 what provision w;is made for the line fence j | between Abbeville county and Cooper andji <;r*.v townships, but It seems unnecessary tor 9^~ fce??p it up-after the first of April, and we j E / think the County Commissioners of Abbe-1 J^l ville county should have been required and ' J authorized to sell so mlicit of the fence a? lies' [ vjj opposite these townships. It is a useless pub.'1 ' lie expense, and an annoyance to our citizens j' t to be compelled to open and shut the pates on this line after tho first of April. We congratulate the citizens of (,'ooper and Gray townships on their progressive spirit, and shall petitlon the next Legislature to have them , transferred to Abbeville county. The pro-1 ' gresslve portion of Edgefield by right belongs to us. We can all'ord to let the old fogies stay beyond the line, but we want Cooperand Gray townships. If they w ill eome over, we'll help them build their fenco. . Ilcligious Newspapers and Qnack Med-1 icines. It has long been a wonder to us, how a man j | publishing a religious newspaper could coin-1 j promise himself by publishing advertise- ( ments which he and an intelligent, public L know could have no other efi'ect than an inju- J j rloitsono. It seems that tho perpetrators of!, frauds of every kind are aware of the advan-1. tapes of advertising in the religious press, i, and they learn from experience that their ad- i | vortlsemcnts, which could cot be inserted In nome of the llrst-eluss secular press, can nl-j] y ? ways And a place In some of the religious | newspapers. In a scramble for money the re-i' Uglous press often seem to have a regard lor public morals, which is entirely at variance ; with their professions of rcli?ioi^?'i raorali- j a. his works ancFnot bytiisloud professions, and ! when we see In a religious newspaper adver-j t "" tisements to lend the unwary into n waste of j their money, we cannot help thinking that! a the editor lacks something of being a con- a Bclcntious man in money matters, to say j j, nothing of his love for his fel low man. n In this conncction we would ask the atten-11 ^ tion of our readers to an article on this sub- !] Ject takeu from the Mcdicul ltccord. { ?<? ? --- V - An old Negro Killed. h The Elberton Xcus gives the following par- ji r. Vr ticulars of the killing of an old negro in the j town of Elberton. In our town "the boys" | had much fun in the snow, but they did not; u forget to respect the old or infirm of theirown i ,Y race, while they made no assault of any kind j t. upon any of the colored people. When wejv read such notices, as the following, we aire | J Hill glad that we live in Abbeville. The I JVVuw says: j Unfortunate Accident.?On Saturday} evening lust, during the heavy lull ol' snow,? there was a large crowd on the public square, j both white una black, engaged In snowball-j lng anil wallowing each other in the snow, j when an old colored man, Henry lirawner l-y name, ventured up into the crowd, when j eome one gave him a trip and threw him sud- i deuly to the ground. The old man did not get | up after the lull, hut gave evidence of being! burl. He was eared lor and carried home by I his friends, medical aid secured, hut died on i Hunday evening from the effect of his injuries. We learn that lie had a bottle in his | i>ocket at the time he fell, and it is supposed j lie fell upon it, causing internal injuries. A ! Coroner's Inquest was heid upon the body on | Monday last, and we learn that the verdict Mas in accordance with the facts abovestated. | If a negro had thrown down and killed a| white citizen of Elberton. doesanybody doubt j that the negro would now be either in jail, or' hanging to a tree ? j - ' Good and Pious. { The editor of the Southern Christian Advo- ! catc, as a New Year's greeting, invites usall to! prayers In the following paragraph : j "Let the Editor and his numerous readers.1 r go together to a throno of rich, Heavenly I grace, in humble confession of our shnrtcom-; ings the past year, and in faithful coniession of the Ixml Jesus Christ, as our hope and opportunity for amendment and improvement i for the luturc. Turniug over a new leaf is in order." Wbep he turns over "a new leaf" we pre- [ mine that he will exclude humbug adver-I tisemcnts from his paper. If he continues to | publish extravagant puffs of patent inedi_< duces which pretend to cure diseases which I every intelligent man knows to be incurable, | we think wo should be invited to prayers at j least once a week. . ' ' Organs." I A correspondent under tliesignntureof "P." I in theeolumns of our esteemed neighbor the] Atoociatc ltrformcd l*rcxbytcri<.m last Week paid j that paper a very high and altogether defer | < ved complimcnt, but wa think he rather j J spoiled It, when he i-aid: j i "Even with her College and Theological |1 Seminary, the church would not be JUlly 1 equipped without her oi yon.'' |* The italicsare his own. Now, wc submit]' that the word "organ," when applied to a i i first class newspaper is anything but eompli-j mentary. As we understand it, an "organ"> , makes such music as may be ordered by an- ! other, and tho editor or "performer" on an j1 "organ" is nothing more nor ics* than a'' mouth-piece" or "blow-pipe." In our opln-j \ Ion, the Axxociate Rrfrtrnicd Vreshylerian is not!1 nn "organ" at all, but a high-toned religious | \ newspaper, holding tlie peculiar doctrines of the Associate Iiolormcd Cliurch, while advan- j cing tlie cause of public morals, and tlt-.it roll- ], piou of wliich our Saviour was the founder as well as the exemplar. The only Republican candidate for Congress j in this State, who commands the respect of j the white people was Mr. A. Dlythe, nnd he I declined to contest Evins' scat from tho! Fourth District. Stolbrand, therevenueagent j and still hunter, is doing his level bost to get Aiken's seat. He is not a citizen of the State, lie was sent here from Washington by the revenue department, to do the dirty work of his superiors, and he took up the ideA that he j would make a good Republican Congressman, I declaring iroin the first that he would contest | Aiken's scat, if he got as many as two votes, j .lie has kept his word, but it remains to lie j seen whether the Republicans are sufficiently j hard pressed, a.s to admit such men as Stoibraud into the House of Representatives. i <a? ? "The Majority." E. A. Tate, in the Ktowee Courier, says: "My Idea is that this government is based' on tl;o general priuciple that majorities must j rule." As the negroes are in the majority hi this! State, we presume that he desires to have the i government of South Carolina turned over to them. He also says In speaking of the fence question : | "I do not think that any body of men have ' a right, legally or morally, to impose such 1< g-! illation on the people without the consent of > the majority, nnd that consent gained by a! full, fairand free expression of the will of the', people at the ballot box. Such legislation j, smacks too much of that old aristocratic gov-; eminent that was In tne State before tlie war. AVe want no more of it." ! Robert Smalls, the negro who is contesting \, Tillman's seal in fonrrcss, from the wording i of ills "notice of contest," would it-ad Hie world to believe that his friends aro as cow- 1 ardly as sheep. Men who acted us coward 'y ;i as Smalls alleges his friends did, deserve no representation any w here. ]; Homo Atraiii. The last issue <>f the A uxteia'cReformed Pitsbi/lcrUin publishes an article which may bej only of passing interest to von, render, but it \ is especially interesting t.i us from the fact in the early history of printing at I??i?- West, we noted a part,a very humble part indeed, it is! true, but never:helo.-s such a part as iso little ; ?' boy ever forgets.

The new of-j th rice does not, as we understand it, create ?ny j!j lew business at all, but It merely divides a |j't portion of the work which has heretofore been th lone by other officers. Xo additional expense s" Lo the public is added, but on the contrary Lhe oiiicc will work a great public having. Heretofore various estate matters were of no- . :c-sily turned over to lJcferecs, who were al- r:, owed and generally charged a fee very much ' an sirgcrthan is now prescribed by law a* ft?cs i *'j' for similar work by the Master in Equity.

Tlie public | "v'. lave nothing to lose by the new oflice, but it J wi :alces its business from the other officers, We | A! ire informed that the law works well in other bounties, and we have no doubt it will do no nc jure. w< <?

We believe dial there can lie l>ut one view taken of tliis practice in question, which is that It encourages harmful Impositions, and is gross- A1 ly inconsistent with the principles of Christiau morality professed by the papers in question. There are some clergymen?and good ones _ too?who openly refuse to be trammelled by ? what they nrc pleased to call the prejudices of doctors. As long as thi-independence coneernsonly tlicadiieslon to the various pathies ] that dat.glc about real medicine, we have all nothing to say. The intelligence which can t|j be coerced into a fiiith in infinitesimals is too small to all'ecl anything but our sympathies, j ti an I we have found the clergy, as 11 whole, i)V quite above tho weaknesses of dogmatic tiled- 0j iciiie. I hit I !iis quasi-endorscmcnt of pMtent- j,;l ed nostrums, w hich the organs of the clerical 'v, profession give, is qtiitcanoihcr thing. In al- |J(, most every case there are statements regard- ),,i ing the properties of the mixtures advertised, j;, wli! -h are absolutely false. Moreover, tills falsity is too glaring to allow of any excuses t.u for its cndorsenient on the score of Ignorance. e(| Kvory intelligent and well-informed man, n, whether medical or clerical, knows that there (jr Is no specific for consumption, or for cancer, ca or for iiright's disease; furthermore, every j;\ man who assumes, the responsibility of a c'? widely circulated journal ought to net In ac- pr eordancc with such knowledge. Theadvertiseiueut of a patent medicine, therefore, means in every case the proclamation of a positive falsehood. Some advertIscmcnts, to j? be sure, are ingeniously worded so as to give u |, the impression that th.e drugs arc specifics .,c without actually saying so. Hut the lie is In h,, them just tlie same. Vet these untrue state-1 j,r incuts are published in nearly every religious j Li, journal in the land, and are read and doubt-1 sjj less believed by thousands, j jf, in an examination of the recent nunibersof i Wi leading religious weeklies we found that the .\j' false a-Neriioiis ins defined above) regnrding I hie efficacy of quack remedies wore advertls- ?f ed in about the following proportionate mini- ja her of times in each issue: /.'itn'n Herald, li; OiHi/rtyidiuuulUl, 7; Krar,liner and Chronicle, wj :t; Jiidrpendi id, '!; (lltstrver, 7; Advocdc, 1; u, llnplixl H'crkly,Christian Union,'Z\ Appcni, ^|, I'; Christina nt \l'urk, <>: Kvttny. list, '2. Total,oil. ri' It .Miould he said in tliv above enumeration o, we only eotint one nils-statement to each nostrum, when. as u rule, there arc half a dozen false statement* or implications attache;! to every announcement. Villi regard to the character of the mendac- wi ity thus so extensively perpetrated, we gladly til admit tiiat a certain proportion of ihu adver- h: tiscmtnts ure, medically speaking, harmless. ry That is to sa.v, the person who buys an appll- in ance which is advertised in tlie J-Xynificli.it as wi "the only specific fur miliaria''will probably re not be directly injured by wearing the appur- , tenance thus evangelically endorsed. On the oilier hand, It is a fact that the sure and permanent cures promised will not be made,and that any benetit obtained will he cine to some , ordinary drug, or to the imagination. On the whole, however, theeltect of patent medicines sa upon tlie system, as well as upon society, i< br extremely bad. .Some arc dangerous, some st: are entiicly inert, all are ridiculously high- fo priced, and all fail to fulfill the promises made w tor llicm. The purchaser wastes his money, ili prolongs his disease (perhaps fatally), and <lc- th tildes himself with a silly confidence. What ev shall be said, then, of those censors of moral- el ity who advertise these injurious deceptions. M They wrong their religion, they impose upon in their patrons, anil t hey injure themselves and tu the hi.'h cause they assume to advocate. tli There is something almost repulsive in the w Incongruities which the union of religion and yi patent medicines brings out. Call the mind M pass easily from "Helps to I'rn.ver" to "Vine- ly gar Hitters?" Can "Golden Thoughts" retain Hi their ethical value by the sideof cancer-cures cl 1 and "the only genuine kidney-cure?"

The ' . isfortunes which attended him latterly, fur- j1 kIi another proof of the fact that it is dan-j * r<ius for a man advanced in years to chnnge * businessand habits of life. As a farmer ' r. Mars was uniformly successful ami the j j(t of the year always found him richer than 1 its beginning, but as a meichant, money j1 filer, and speculator, he was as conspicit- ] sly unsuccessful as hchad been distinguish-1 * for his prosperity as a farmer, The i<lca of 1 mimr to town to live in rase the remainder ! his life proved his downfall,and others who l. iv be contemplating a change from the farm ' the village may well heed tho example . ilch the deceased has iuruishcd.

A Corpse Keeps Warm Eight Days After Death ? The Atlanta Physicians Puzzled* At\anta Thonogvaph. One work ago yesterday Miss Minnie Hyrtl, Ihe fourteen-year-old daughter c>f T. A; Liyrd, * ivell-known printer of ihisclty, was pronounced dead by the attending physician. l>r. <impson, and placed in a casket ready for burla i. The fuucrnl was arranged to take place llie Sunday afternoon following, and at the *1 pointed hour t tic hearse and carriages were ?t the iloor ready to take those in attendance upon the funeral to Oakland Cemetery. A fe w moments before tiie funeral services were Lo commence, Mr. l'fank ltlduc noticed tliata unaU (lower had fallen from one of the hand* ji the corpse into the space between the body ind the side of the eo/liu, the lid of which had never been piaccd on. Mr. Kldge lifted the (lower, ami, us he attempted to place it iu (lie l>o*>ltion from which It had fallen* noticed that the hands of the deceased were still warm, uui also that the lips and ears were still highj colored and also warm, ile called the aii* .xf <i ituiv tr* tlm nml hr?r to Allium ... a ... |iut licr lmml under the corpse and sec If ttie i.tck was Warm. The hidy did as requested Hid found that there was still considerable ivarinlh in that portion of the body lying lext to the bottom ol the collin. These observations were soon made known to those in attendance, and the hear.-e and carriages were Jismissed. The nuni was cleared and several ;cnlletueii held a conference for the purpose >f ascertaining what was best to be done, l'liey made an examination of the condition )( the body, and after some discussion decided hat life was ex I i net. The mother of theehild vboiit this time interposed and insist) d that :he remains should not be buried us ion? as :here was any rea-ou tor believing that her hild was still alive. Nothing more was done until the following lay, when Mr. Green Holland, the keeper ol Oakland Cemetery, called at the house for the purpose of ascertaining why it was that thf funeral dkl not take place. lie thought that something was wron,', us he had prepared a jraveal the request of a friend of the family who notified him of the death. When Mr, Holland reached the house he learned all ol Hie facts In the ease, and slated to Mr. Kyrd tbat;if he would send I he body as it was to the Kcnictery tie would take cure of it until further developments were reached. This Wat lone, mid tho body sent to Oakland, wlicrr I ho casket was deposited in the dead house since that day there has been no perceptible change in tho condition of the body. No sijjiH of decay are noticed, and certain portions of the body are yet warm and lifelike. During the past four da^s quite a num Ijcrol persons nave vim tea me ccmvicry u?i the purpose of ascertaining if what they luu heard was triii'. A number of the physicians of the city havi Investigated the matter ami can come to nc satisfactory conclusion. The case is one n I lie most remarkable on record, ami what wll be done with the body remains to be seen ; ai p.esent we can't say. tiie doitoiw say she is dead. At\anla CXmslUution.. Yesterday Drx. f'ofer, Collierand Fowler vis Ited tlie cemetery forihe purposeof makingi thorough examination of .Miss Minnie Hyrd the voting lady whose remains have been ly liiK In the dead house for the past week. A battery was applied and every known test re sorted to, but no evidence of life could be dls covered, and v.fter a complete and satisfactory examination the physicians declared Mist Byrd dead. This is Indeed a remarkable ca?e and every physician who has seen the body is lost for i solution. As has been staled, after her deatl the body still retained its warmth. The colo st ill adhered to the lips, and every appearand of life was visible, yet she was pronouneei dead. IJurinu tli? entire week the warmth o the body was readily ascertained, and evet now the temperature is only a little b?i<>v that of a livinif bcinv v ?..?*.-i-day, Br, In mukjattempting to detect a p'uisaC'of'j'uiscovered a slight corpse-like odor. It s asserted that the remains will be buried tolay. Ileal Estate Transfers. 11II Ward law to Rebecca Titus, 2 acres, Ablii-villc, fcso, bounded by It II Wardluw, Sins [ 'vans and others.
