Bovely and beautiful beyond degree, . the bachelor department of the Press uml Banner is unequal to the task oi describing it. Flowers, bonnets, ribbons, and all manner of beautiful articles were scattered in the most graceful confusion while the most artistic Indies titled to uud fro ever ready to exhibit or sell whatever might please the eye. There is something in these openings which causes an involuntary sigh uecause we have 110 one for whom to buy. Wouldn't it be the proudest moments of an editors life to buy some of these bonnets and ribbons for a star-eyed divinity, who would A\JVJ l\ IXJ+KZ 11/ rjvo ? IllVH .^auu Mnuiw? If our millinery stores tlo not wish to make us miserable forever tliey will cease to add charms to these places which are for beauty and elegance always beyond description. A Towu Without a House. The iron on the Augusta and Ivnoxvilie railroad was laid to within a mile and a quarter of Asbury last Saturday night, and if the spikes tlo not give out, the cars will be run4ug-to li.ui point before Saturday night. We learn that Mr. Twiggs J will apply for permission to lower, the grade a little at this depot. As-j bury is a eenlral location ami although j there is at present no house within a! mile of the depot, houses will soon be j built. Considerable business will be, done at this place, aud the road will; fchip a large quantity of cotton from j this station. Serious Aeridi'iit. A plank kiln in the neighborhood of Little River fell last {Saturday I Seriously, if not fatally injuring, Mr. j \V. V. Callahan, at Mr. T. I?. Had-; don's saw mill. His leg, and thigh was cruised and bent in a most IVar- j ful manner while his body was bent! nearly double. Dr. John A. Robin- i son was promptly called and rendered I the injured man every assistance; f>ossible. It is said by those who saw tim, that Mr. Callahan shows very i little chance of recovery. ? - ..

His conservative tone, i his ability and his fairness willcom-l' mend him as an acceptable candidate, j1 and his past record is the surest guar-' ttntee of future faithful service to his! people. Now, that the campaign may bei said to be commenced, we shall ex-j pect to see the names of many others! brought forward. i Let Those who are Tretty Now Look' Lovelier than Ever, For Miss Lizzie Bridge, of New York.

Immense small grain crop which is!1 now on the land. Those who contcm-j plate buying reapers should inform i' themselves on the subject and pur- 1 chase intelligently, as the improve- ' ments iu these machines of late years has been so great that no man can af- i ford to use an old patent, even if it ; were given to him. With no un?o- . Ward event between this time and the; harvest, we will gather the largestr CTopever realized in any single year j in Abbeville county. Captain J. W. Perrin, the County Treasurer, publishes an im-lj portantcommunication in an another , column, which deserves the attention |j of every citizen of Abbeville county. ' A man may fail to get his name on many books, but Captain Perrin is| Democratic in his hussiness, and! treats every citizen alike by entering their names on his book, with certiin I ominous figures opposite. Call at his: office, where you will be sure to findj your home. Political club rolls may be incomplete, but not so with Cap-j tain Perrin's books. If any of our editorial friends are[ disposed to buy a vehicle of any kind,! let them be not deceived by any pro-j Eositions to pay in advertising. The ill of the advertising is added to the I price of the buggy, and the editor! throws away his work in this instance, j Many new buggies have been sold on j our streets at figures much below the; cash required from editors when theyj do a large amount of advertising be- i sides. Virgil Madden, colored, formerly of tnis place, was convicted of highway robbery in Greenville last week.J It seems that while drivinga buggy lie* slipped a pocket-book from the pocket of his fellow passenger, containing j thirty-seven dollars. The pocket book I was soon missed, when Madden was I accused of the theft. The pocket-book was returned minus teu dollars. He goes to the penitentiary for five years. fii'Tiiv T,. VV_ White has hist returned from the North with *the| greatest quantities of the nicest goods to be found in New York. His goods! are really of the best and most at- j tractive quality, and his prices are always reasonable. He is ever reliable, j and his goods may be depended on as beiug worth all that he ask? for them. The work on the new street below the depot running out in rear of Fort Pickens to the branch still progresses. The big gully which crossed the road j at the branch, one mile from town, has been tilled up, and a good wagon way has been made over it. It will not be a great while before that street will be open to the public travel. Messrs. Cunningham & Templeton, substantial and thoroughly re-, liable merchants, invite the public to inspect their large and varied stock of useful and ornamental goods, fanners' supplies and groceries, hats and shoes. Give them a call, receive a hearty welcome, and inspect their goods, whether you buy or not. From what we see in the newspapers we are inclined to the opinion that the Democrats of Columbia have unit'icfilu in ninL'irifr wmt nn M r_ " ' ... e, ~~ John Agnew. Lnless charges can be fairly and fully sustained, it is, in our opinion, better not to make them. The force of this remark may be realized after the election.

The People of Ninely-Si* Solid foi Democracy and (iood (.ovcrmneiu No Democratic Deserters in tin Neighborhood ot the Old Historic Fort. On last Saturday Colonel Samuel Wali lingford, the apostl<? of Orccnb>ickistil ii tins county, went to Ninety-Six to mldress the citizens of that community on tin! question of National politics, ami more especially to instil into them tlx opinions of the Oreenback party, and t?i explain tiie creed and practice of that particular set of politicians. As this was the second time that Colonel Wallitiglbrd had addressed these people in less than innntKc tinin l\tr 111 t*i 1 nt m?l ntlH imagining that the people of Ninety-Six were either deeply interested in Grcenbaekistn, or that Mr. Wallingfurd's elegance of diction and high graces of composition, were very instructive and entertaining to thein ; ii reporter for the I'rc.s? and I tanner witn that inborn curiosity, peculiar to newspaper men, boarded the train and left for Ninety-Six, determined to iind out the true inwardness of the whole affair; Arrived at Ninety-Six, the chances for having a very enthusiastic meeting were not encouraging. Most of those present were totally ignorant of the fact that the speaker had arrived, and appeared to care very little for the success or failure of the meeting. Until the speaking began We improved our time by talking with several of the citizens ty ascertain if there was really any disaffection with the Democrats here, and to tind if the Green backers actually had any following. From what we could gather, we are led to believe that there are some people in the country surrounding Ninety-Six who sympathize with the (?rcen backers to this extent, that they prefer Greenbacks to specie as a medium of circulation 011 account of being more convenient to carry, ivhile others from the accounts that they liave hea.-d, are laboring under the hallucination that the success of the Greenback party means the inflation of money, j ind that the currency will be greatly in-; reused and that money will be as plento>us as blackberries. This and only this sail we could learn as the following of he party, a fragile foundation ts> build up 1 new party with. Ninety-Six can bo >ut down as solid for Democratic Government, Home ltulc and White Stipreiu-! icy.

Whatever the writers on Aesthetics may hold >n the subject there is no doubt of the fact that; in this particular instance, utility enhances the beauty of the scene very much. Several of our farmers are selfmade men who tar ted from the ground and have gradually worked their way up. Their examples show what thrift and enterprise can accomplish. Quite a numlier of improvements have been made this winter and others aro in contemplation. This, to a large extent, is the result of the establishment in the community of a saw-mill, of Messrs.

Ready to Aid the Accused. fiW>wn and Oonrlnr.] i Wasitikgto:?, March 27.?Tlie recently' published letter of Attorney General lirewater has ereatedjinneh indignation in Democratic circles*- Our rcpresentatlves in Congress were all of opinion that it was intended for political effect, and I was going to preach a text on it when I hamjened to catch Senator 13utier ill the Democratic cloak-room ol' the Senate, a nice, shady, cosy place, where more itUdrviews are had than anywhere else in creation ; and there and then solicited ((pinions and obtained .them, and as a result abandoned my projected letter to put in its stead the following interview, which expresses, I think; life views of tho whole delegation : Said I: "Have you seen Mr. Brewster's letter to Mr. Saunders on the South Carolina election prosecutions?" "Yes, 1 saw it soon altar my arrival from South Carolina." "What docs it mean ?" "Why it simply means that tho Stalwarts, having discovered that the South Carolina Democracy doesn't 'Mahoneize,' as was confidently predicted, and break up into disgraceful factions, and cajolery having failed to bring about the desired result, they will resort to terrorism by political prosecutions in the United Slates Courts. This is what it means." "Wereyon notttuprised at the remarkable attitude of the Attorney-General?'' "Nothing sui-prises mo "novr-a-days. The Attorney-General is carrying out tho behests of his political masters and ou^lit not to surprise anybody. An eruption r>f official virtue appears to have broken out all over the new attorney-general, lie is almost as badly afflicted with the South Carolina election cases as ho was at first in the 'Star Route frauds." Public sentiment is demanding with unconfrontahic unanimity that the'Star Route! frauds' shall bo vigorously prosecuted,! mil Mr ItiMU'sifpr tin <)nnhf titwlvi t.liA I prosecution of his Stalwart allies not very j Agreeable or palatable work, so he seeks j lo make .1 diversion by venting his official wrath 011 a few South Carolina Democrats, l'here was a very ominous lull in the Star Route' prosecutions that was be-j oming embarrassing, after the great sound of trumpets that emanated from he attornep-gcneral's office of vigorous iroxccutionx, aod 1 presume it was found necessary to create a diver-ion by a fewblasts against the South Carolina Democracy." "Isn't it a very eccentric thing for an atiorney-goneral to be rushing into the newspapers in this manner in relation to lis discharge of the delicate and rcsponiible duties ot a hiph office ?" "It seems so 10 ne, and I cannot think that any man who lias proper regard for .lie dignity of such a high position, poking an office essentially non-partisan in ts nature, would be publishing letters to 1 subordinate, reminding him of su<-b iiings as that *You are u Democrat,' and I wish to express my Republican convictions upon the subject,' <?c., Such alk from a high public official, sworn to io his duty according to the Constitution md tiie laws, is disgusting?to use the larsher term, If these prosecutions?or ather persecutions?are not political, vhy lii" Democracy or Republicanism nto instructions to a subordinate ? I do iot know this Mr. Sanders, but, if he jennits his Democracy to be purchased o carry out the plans of his political adversaries, I haven't as much respect for iucIj a Democrat as for a pronounced Republican who marches courageously inder his true colors. It is incumbent ipo? District Attorney Melton and his issistantto do their full duty impartially ind fearlessly because tlie.v are sworn oficials of Government, but who is this Pennsylvania lawyer sent down here, ibout South Carolina matters, when tlio wlitical atmosphere of Ins own State is 'umm^and putrid with election frauds? A' by does not the Attorney-general write o District Attorney Melton ?" "Have you any theory, Scnntnr, as to be reason of Mr. Saunder's employment n these particular cases ?"' "Ob ! I supposo that WAs A dodge of rudge Melton's to have it said that lie jad convicted democrats with Democratic a.vyers. There is no other reason for it. Liut he hasn't convicted anybody yet, and 10 will not, if a proper defence is made, is I have no doubt it will be." "Are you going to appear for the de'encc ?" "Nobody has eexprc3sed a wish that I should do so. I will, if it should be iceessary, to tho las?t extremity of time md means, for I do not believe that the illcged desire to vindicate the law, if any las been violated, is sincere. Violated aw is the last thing thought of. Success >f tho Republican party and tho Africanzing of South Caroline again are the bot:om of these prosecutions, and if I were lie Executive Committee of the Demo :ratic party of South Carolina I should ;ive the attorney-general and his subordinates employment in prosecuting some >f their own party friends in South-Caroina for the unblushing crimes committal by them Kgainst the election laws, and jivo Mr. Jtrcwster an opportunity of pointing a moral,' in his next batch of nstructions through the newspapers, igainst his own party friends." "Do you know if counsel has been em>loyed to defend the accused ?*' "Yes, I am informed very able counsel ins been employed, and that they are to >e defended by the best legal ability in he State, and I liave no doubt that it is rue. 1 hope so at least." "You think then that these proceedngs are intended for political purposes?' "Of course they are, and for nothing slse. If I did not know thnt you be eved it also I should be shocked at the question. It is the beginning oi the Kepublican caKHmjgu, and it is Well to remember it." ^? ? Which I will.

ANOTHER MOVE BY BREWSTER. rrying to Break Down the State Courts for Political Effects* COLUM1HA, Morel] IBS,?Air, josepn >v. \Itiller, deputy clerk of the court for Richland County, was served this inornng with a summons to attend the United States Court in Charleston on next Moniav to testify in the election cases against Joseph Bates and other defendants from his county. He is required by the subpoena to take with him the oaths of office if the Commissioners of elections, the jnths of tho managers of elections, nt \cton, Hopkins, Garner's and Camp Ground precincts, "together with all and jvery original return and statement in relation to the election of 1880 in said four precincts on lile in the ofllceof the Court >f Ilichland County." After consultation ,vith his attorneys, Mr. Muller was advised to leave the matter to the solicitor md Judge, with the request that the Judge ask for the iegal opinion of the at;orney-general as to whether under the ;ircumstauces, he can bo compelled to inswer tho summons. Mr. Arthur,the lerk of the Court, is absent from the State for thirty days by permission of the governor, and is now under medical treatment in New York by advice sof lis physician. If Mr. Muller liouhl be required to attend the United States r;ourtthe business of the State Court now in session in this city will be seriously retarded and the administration of the laws interfered with. But this may be only another part Mr. Benjamin Harris Brewster's plan to degrade the law in South Carolina for political effect. A GREAT FIRE IN RICHMOND.

Kirk the Tool Of the Be* vens?fnl and Dastard ex-Secrctarf.\ ?Hampton's Magnanimity, iXeuv and Courier.J Washinotox, March 27.?That John Sherman is a political trickster and u speculator of public moneys few peoplo\ doubt after the development of the last Presidential campaign and tho ontturn of tho treasury investigation; but here fs>'. proof that ho carries his scouudrclism into private as well ?s public life: Everybody knows that since Senator*. Hampton convicted William Tecumseli Sherman of lying, in regard to the burning of Columbia, the Sherman family have been very hitter against him. It will also bo remembered that during tho last Presidential campaign JohnShermanJ the secretary of tho treasury, laid bare his:) vulgar spite by replying to a courteous letter of inquiry from Senator Hampton ' with an open letter, most offensive in its I terms, and very insulting to the people of f i South Carolina. Soon after this tho noto- v> rious South Carolina Radical and renegade* white ttVan, Rollin A. Kirk, then employed in the treasury here, publiaheh r'' a scurrilous libellous attack upon Sena tor Hampton, charging him -with having aided in murdering a score of negroes in Mississippi, and with such other ' (fences . as a villauous imagination could conjuro up. This letter was circulated l>y the Re- . I publicans during the late Presidential ! campaign throughout the West. Upon ' j Sherman's exit fcom tho treasury Ivirk ' ' lost his place there. A month or two ago he was reinstated, and almost tfiinultanj enusly his wretched campaign lies were I republished .by a scavenger sheet ill Charleston; Upon this several of Senator Hamp- ' ton's friends determined to look into the ' matter. Here was an employee of-the Government occupied in circulating tho, most ahominabloialsehoods againstaSen- ' ator. The attacks were personal, not political, and as such could justly be objected to. Secretary Folger was seen and thd facts laid before him. He promptly ad- i mitted that Kirk's course was a sufficient * cause for his discharge; Itesent tor Kirk ' and interrogated him. Kirk admitted * having written tin lotter, but begged tho with tears in his eyes not to discharge hitrt as ho had a wife'and six children to < support. The attack he dcclarcd was ordered by a superior official. Mr. Folger communicated these facts t<J Senator Hampton and ottered to dischargo Kirk from oflice.if ho desirod it. Senator , Hampton replied that he would spard him, but that he wished to know who had Incited the publication. Kirk, upod hearing this, stated that the official was Secretary Sherman, and produced a letter from the Secretary to prove the fact. This letter was read by Senator Hampton and others and was returned to its owllei4? . It seems that Kirk first. tii secretary, who replied in substance as follows: r,Iu my position I caunot notice these tilings, but I wish that you, or some one else would make a formal statement of the kind against Hampton." Kirk said that coming from the highest treasury officer he regarded the letter as an order, and he also asserted that Shermatt promised, if he was discharged from the treasury, to get him a plade at the Capital. These facts have been leaking out grad-. ually, and they are now known to several Senators, who declare if the most das^ tardly act tliey ever heard of. Here was the secretary of the treasury of the United States employing the venom of his subordinate to strike at the personal character of a Senator. The cowardly brute who hires the services of an assassin to murder his opponent is as respectnblei If. G. Gk QUITE A HllDBUB CREATED Df WASHINGTON CIRCLES. Republishing the StorT with VariA* lions?A Characteristic Incident in ft liar her Shop. [-Vcu'j and Cburicr.] Washington,* March so.?The Sher-v man-KirK business was an increasing topiy of interest to-day. This ercrtlrig'a Critic published a sensational Statement. of tho case, which has inllamed the other papers into a fever for more news. The Critic declares that Senator Ham pton will bring til* matter before tho Senate, but this is incorrect. Ho was opposed to making tho case notorious, having satis-1' tied himself of Sherman's rascally conduct. Statements are published also that the News anil Courier lirst printed Kirk's 1 attack on Hampton, but of course this Is untrue. The local scavenger did that; It has been developed that yesterday morning whiie?enatm- Hampton was being shaved in the Senate barber shop Sherman came in for some purpose oi otiier, and advancing to Hampton said very affably: It must be very pleasant ?i-.iunh mowii vonr way, General." Senator Hampton liffbd his face covered with latther, gave the Ohioan a tirief star? of contempt, ptid then subsided and told the barber to go on. Sherman was consider* able con fused, and in a few moments left* This incident causes as much sensation as the original matter. Hampton has now snubbed both of the Shermans. Tecum-1 seh Sherman met him in the secretaty of war's ofiice a year or so ago and accosted*. * him. Hampton looked through him and passed by without answering his salutation. These things are contributions to the issue impending, and so I givo them.. An etVort was made to find Kirk to-night, but without success. Sherman is still reticent. The affair contiues to be discussed freely in the Senate. A GTE.fr HUBBljB IN WASHttGfOlt ABOUT THE KIRK LETTER. The Newspapers all Publish tbi.

Concerning this Klrfc - ' writes to an evening paper us follows i / "On October 26. 18S0, at the suggestion of | the Hon. John Sherman, then the secretary of the treasury, I published a letter In the Cincinnati Commercial recounting thu financial antecedents of Mr. Wade Hampton. My artlele was boxed upon data found In thd National Republican of August and October, 1870. The statement, In a morning paper, that I assailed .Senator Hamptoh through th* [Charleston Mercuru is false. It is equally falwthat I permitted Mr. Hampton to read a letter I had In my possession from the Hon. John Sherman. I never spoke to Mr, Hampton in my life. The statement that thesee* retary of the treasury threatened to dismiss me unless I would consent to furnish Mrs Hampton a copy of Mr. Sherman's letter 1* equally unfounded.' I detty positively that Mr. Sherman ever told mo, or eVeli hinted to me, that In the event of my discharge froi? I he treasury he would provide for ine else-' where. Indeed the em ire publication in the morning paper referred to Is replete with fal>ricatlon, and would be amusing under cir? cumstanres not Involving the amity of a brace of United Suites Senators. I wish hereto state that I desired to do Mr; Hahipton no injustice in my publication. I simply republished n Delation * which bad gone on> challenged for four years." i" Sherman, who had before refused to say anything, made the following remarks : "No I have no statement to make about It, nothing to say with regard to it. 1 have simply to express for it the contempt I feel for the whole matter. If anybody wants copies ot those letters he can get them without any difficulty. I don't believe that Senator Hampton is responsible for|the publication in the Pout. If lie 1?. he has put himself In a very ridiculous attitude." It will be seen that Kirk admits that Bher* milll Illl'iteH his rns/'llllw ?l?o/<lr r?r> o m..n could not fight in open fluid, and thnt sher- ?' man tacitly admits; that be did an Kirk declares. There Is pood reason tor this. Denial fortunately, would not avail, for I have learned that the criminating letter was read by Se? retary Folicer, and Is probably now In bis pose-sion. He received It from IKlrk, read it and showed It to Senator Hampton, who not l eing allowed a copy studied it until be had memorized the contents and noted tbem down as he left. Some fresh gleanings of mine are these: Senator Hampton has not spoken or recognized Shermon since the Presidential cum* paten. Sherman sent hint a messaua aoihd. time ago seeking an explanation or this course. Hampton replied by the messenger that on account ol his slanderous conduct he would refuse to recognize him then and in tuture. Sherman made no reply, and did not attempt l onhommle untill he made th<L F ' seductive remark about south catolina weather, which wan so ciuelly met. It Is widely published that Hampton still demands the letter and will bring up the matter In the Senate. This Is nor so. Hfl I Miti-fled himself or Sherman's vllllany, which ua* ail he cared for. Snermau admits it. . which Is due to the knowledge of Folger'i. Information. This Is enough. There is no ground for any statement from the South | Carolinian to the Senate, and none will bo made. Sherman Is the only one who might explain, but as he stands self-confessed u low and cowardly slanderer, he need not attempt It. Further publication by me would, theietore, hesupei tluous. if denial Is made, proof Is handy. The effect on the public Is strong. Sherman's reputation was much worn. This Is all that was needed to wreck It, J. Knox & Co. -AGENTS J OR? MR.
