A Storiu Brewing in Barnwell.
[ News and Courier Corrcspouden 'c.)
Barnwbi.i. Coijntv, November I 1.
?The election is ov* r, and the well
known Charles 1?. Leslie, the ex-land
commissioner, ifco., has been elected, at
the head ot the Regular Republican
ticket, a member ol the IIoukm of
resentatives. lie is clearly ineligible,
lor in 1872 ho removed I'roin this Slate
carrying his family with him, and declaring
at the time of his departure
that he did not intend to return. But
during the past summer he came to
Barnwell County, became a candidate
and has been elected. It is fair to
state that this result has been reached,
notwithstanding the repeated remonstrances
oi the Union-1lcrnld. But it
the Republican party arc sincere in
their professions ot reform, and do not
really want such a member, he will
not be allowed to take his seat. They
have a majority o! the ilouse of Representatives
and the board ol State
canvassers, and suHicient and notorious
grounds of exclusion. A protest
has been filed, and t.ho case will pro*
sent a conclusive test of the sincerity
of their professions in favor' of refonn.
It is also stated that Leslie voted at
the recent election, and that he will
be indicted therefor in the United
States Court, and that his actings and 1
doings as land commissioner are about j
to be investigated in the State courts. .
It furnishes an instructive cotnmen- 1
tary upon this election that Crosnr '
Cave was elected a county corcmis- 1
sinner on the same ticket with Leslie, j
This man was a member of the former
board of county commissioners, was
convicted at last May term of mtsoon- |
duct in ollice, sentenced to the Poui- 1
tentiary, and pardoned by Gov. Moses. '
It was not perhaps in the power of thu \
Republican parly to prevent the in- 1
latu.ited colored voters ot Barnwell *
County from clectincr these men. Rni. 'J
O 1 I
it is in the power both oi the board oi 1
:?tate canvassers and oi the House of '
Itepresentaiives, or cither of them, to '
prevent Leslie from taking his seat. J

aeconnt of the intimidation that was
used by the lingular Republicans. The

The (Irani victory in South Carolina,

arc idenl ical. 'I he ignorant negro majority
were indueed by the R.ilterson
gang to reject I >elany, llie ablest member

the llopubMean party candidate.
Throughout tbo contest Chamberlain
was poworfuly aided by Kodoral odieials,
acting doubtless under orders
!rom Washington. The Collector of
Charleston even placed a I'nited States
revenue cutler at his rerviee, and
Postmasters everywhere exerted all

The result is that (b'uulism is
triumphant and South Carolina is still

I anatomv intnerishable. lint at. hi at
one night, I irt it run down. I grieved
about it as it it were a recognized
messenger and forerunner ot calamity.
Hut by and by I cheered up, set the
watch by guess, ami commanded my
boilings and superstitions to depart.
Next day 1 stepped into the chiet jeweler's
to set it by the exact time, and
the head ol the establishment took it
out ol my hand and proceeded to set
it tor me. Then he said, "She is (our
minutes slow?regulator wants pushing
up."
I tried to stop him?tried to make
him understand that the watch kept
perfect time. Hut no; all this human
cabbage could see was that the watch
was tour minutes slow, and tins regulator
must be pushed up a little; and so,
while 1 danced arjund him in anguish
and beseeched him to let the watch
alone, lie calmly and cruelly did the
shameful deed. IS 1 y watch began to
i gain. It gained faster day by day.
Within the week it sickened in a rag1
ing fever, and its pulse went up#to a
hundred and liltv in the shade. At the
end of two months it had left all the
time-pieces of the town far in the rear,
i and was a fraction over thirteen days
i ahead of the almanac. It was away
I into November enjoying the? snow,
while tho October leaves were still
turning. It hurried up house rent, bills
payable, and such things in such a
ruinous way that I could not abide it.
1 took it to the watchmaker to be regulated.
lie asked ine it I had it repaired.
I said no, it had never needed
reputing, lie looked a look of vicious
happiness and eagerly pried the watch
open, then put a small dice-box into
his eyes and peered into its machinery.
He said it wanted cleaning and oiling,
' besides regulating ?eomo in a week.
Alter being cleaned and oiled and
regulated mv watch slowed down to
thai degree that it licked like a tolling
bull. 1 began to be left by trains, 1
failed all appointments, 1 got to nussing
my dinner, my watch strung out
! three days grace to lour and let ine go
I to protest; 1 gradually drilled hack
into yesteiday, then day before, tbcli
into last week, and by and by the coinprehension
came upon me that all solitary
and alone 1 was lingering along
i in week before last, ami the world was
out ol sight. 1 seemed to detect in
myself a sort of sneaking lellow leeling
tor the mummy in the museum, and a
desire to ssvap news will) Inm. I went
to the watchmaker again, lie took
the watch all to pieces while 1 waited,
and then said ihe barrel was "swelled."
lie said he could reduce it in three
days. Alter ibis the watch averaged
well, but nothing more. For halt a
day it would go like the very mischief,
and keep up such a barking, and
wheezing, and whooping, and sneezing,
and snorting, that 1 could not hear
myself think for ihe disturbance; and
as long as it held out there was not a
watch in the land that stood any chance
' agaW^v it. But lhe rest ot the day it
would Keep on slowly down and fooling
along until all the clocks it had
letl behind caught up again.
Bo sit last, at the end ot twenty-lour
hours, it would ti'ot up to vhe judges'
stand all right and'gust in time. It
would show a f>iir/,My. square average,
and no man could sayV had done more
or less than its duty. But si correct
l average is only a mild virtue in a
watch, and I look this instrument to
smother watchmaker.** lie said the
kingbolt was broken. I s:hd 1 w:v*
glad it was nothing more serious. To
! Lull the plain truth, 1 had no idea what
the kingbolt was, but 1 did not choose
t to appear ignorant to a stranger, lie
i repaired the kingbolt, but what the
watch gained in one way it lost in another.
It would run awhile and then
stop awhile, and then run awhile again,
and so on, using its own discretion
about the inteivals. And every time
it went oil' it kicked back like a musket.
I padded my breast for a few days,
but finally took the watch to another
watch-maker. lie picked it all to pieces
and turned the ruin over and over
under his glass; and then he saul there
appeared to be something the matter
with the hair trigger, lie fixed it and
gave it a fresh start, It did well now,
I except that always at len minutes to
I ten the hands would shut together like
I a pair of scissors, and from that time
forth they would travel together. The
oldest man in the world could not
make head or tail of the time of day
by such a watch, and so I went again
to have it repaired. This person said
that the crystal had got bent, and that
the main-spring was not straight. lie
also remarked that part of tho works
need half-soling.
He made these things all right, and
then my time piece performed unexceo
tionably, save that now and then, alter
working along quietly for eight hours
everything inside would let go all of a
sudden and begin to buzz lik a bee, and
the hands would straightway begin to
spin round aud round so last that their
individuality was lost comepletely,

looked on while ho took her to pieces,
Then I prepared to cross-question him
rigidly, for, this thing was gtfAjng
serious. The watch had cost tw^t'ndred
dollars originally, and I seemed
to have paid out two or three thousand
for repairs. While I waited and
looked on, I presently recognized in
this watch-maker an old acquaintance
- a steamboat engineer ot other days,
land not a good engineer either. lie
examined all the parts carefully, just
as the other watch-makers had done,
and then delivered his verdict with the
same confidence of manner.
lie said: "She makes too much
steam?you want to hang the monkeywrench
on the safety-valve!"
