MCEWEN, was foroibly entered by a burglar, who stole therefrom eight or nine watches and a half dozen new revolvers, ?nd made good his escupe. This burglar turns out to he a soldier of the Com pany now stationed herc. Ho went dowL thc Au gusta road, peddling bis stolen goods ou the way ; and finally came to grief. Was taken ap, brought back here, and lodged fn jail! Mr. MCEWEN has recovered all the stolen articles except a couple of watches and one pistol. This recreant s ddier had no accomplice whatever; und it seems that he has been long looked upon by his comrades as a bud subject.

Wo mean our friend LEsr.scnut.TK. Whether in Ready-Mado Clothing, or in Fancy Goods, or in Notions and Trifles, or in Pipes, Cigars and Tobacco, orin what not, our friend is still a man of perfect taste. This is by no means a new opin ion of curs, but wu must confess that it has been intensified of lato, >>y inspecting an exquisite Pipe - and a bag of superb Smoking Tobacco presented ( by Mr. Lr.TK.scurLTZ to our confrere D. R. D. Of thc Pipe wo can jndge ounelf, but as regards lb?. Tobacco we must rely upon I). R. D's word. He lolls us that smoking it begets a peace which passt-th aM understanding. "Farewell, Brother H?cker." TRUMAN ROOT, thc fo-called wbito man, and tho ro-ealltfd Representativo in the so called Leg i.-latirc, who voted so persistently for social equality with negroes, and .-o morbidly uud un n?rura?ly against tie interests of his- own race, has departed, b<g>:nd baggage, from this town, and from these pans.

And s > sad are ihc hearts of this people at hoing thus bereft, that, as in the well known case of the de parting Baptist minister, the whispering of every breezo and tho tinkling of every sheep bell seems to say in :oues thc most m mrnt'ul, Farewell, Brother Ruckor." Harboring a Wisc Thought. It is reported that Dave Harris, a colored member of the Legislature from this place, has resigned his seat. Wc do not know that there is a word of truth in this report. But if Dave is harboring such a thought, it is a wiso proceeding on his part. Wo bo;>e thc thought will blossom into a gurgf-ou? sunflower of resignation. And yet Dave is tho bc st of the bunch from this Dis trict! field District. The office of Schoul Commissioner, ono for the whole State, and ono for each District, was crea ted by thc lato Reconstruction Convention. The gentleman elocted to this office in our own Dis trict is Rov. E. L. WHATLEY, of Beech Island, well known among is from his earliest yoars. During the past summer, in more articles than one, wc have alluded to our newly-elected Dis trict officer? in terms by no means complimentary. | And we would hore say that in ruch articles we never aliuded r.i any degree to the Rev. Mr. WHAT LEY. This gentleman has never affiliated with thc Radical negro party, and assuro3 us that ho knew nothing of his being nominated or elected until after bjjth events had transpired ; and we have reason to believe that in the discharge of his duties, bc will do nothing to forfeit thc character of Christian aud gentleman which ho has ever borne arning us. ? A? will bc seen by card in another column, Rev. Mr. WHATLEY has been appointed a Magis trate for this D:atrict by Gov. Scott. Cen. Grant's Cabinet. Tue newspaper press, North and South, ts fillod with speculation* and predictions ns to whom (<KANT will choose to form hi* cabinet. But ti RANT continue' to hold his tongue w ith solemn pertinacity, and no o-:c knows who are ti? be the men. We only hope that Cen. GRANT will reveal a faculty for putting the right man in thc right p'nee. This quality is essential to the successful discharge bf thc duties of thc Presidential office, for the President must trust very much to the horie?ty, thc sagacity, the discretion of subordi nate?. Among thc firwt duties to which Gen. GRANT should devote his attention is, without a doubt, tho introduction of rigid economy and accounta bility iuto every department connected with the expenditure of publie moneys. We trust that bc will exscind needless offices-of which there aro so many in thc luckless South-and urge upon Congress au immediate curtailment of its corrupt and lavi.-h sy.-tcm of appropriations, and thus relieve thc peoplo by reducing the burden of taxation which now vexes and oppresses both the rich and thc poor. If this is not done, the coun try inuit go to r?iu ; for over all tho futuro risos, in gloomy significance, the lowering clouds of ti.iur.cial rt'.rm and disaster. The Radical parly ctn no longer'say, '. wait till after the election," to every counsel of retrenchment und re'orni. Now, lb?-}' mu?l halt, halt speedily in their career of lavish expenditure, or ?hey will come to un end, s ion and sudden'}', iu lo'al financial ruin, out of whi.:h will risc indeed, the spectre of repudiation, Not that which (Ley have falsely so called, thu? mitigating thu public repugnance to the reality, by making it familiar to'he ear; but the substan tial repudiation which is of the bitter fruits of na tional bankruptcy.

Democracy in New York and New Jersey. New York is rightly called " thc Einpiro Stat of tho American Union; and thc rcult thrro the late elections cannot hut bc a matter of inti est and congratulation to all American peop who aro attached to the Constitution as our fallu interpreted it. Hon. Jonx T. HOFFMAN, ni Mayor of tho City of New York, a gontlcm and a Democrat of purest wator, Democratic cs didatc fur Governor of Now York, was elected the 3rd inst by a decided mujirity; wbilo t electoral vote of the State is certain for SKYMO and BLAIR. And t!,is was no ordiuivry triuraj. 'Die Radicals used all tho means in their pon to defeat these standard bearers of the Democra party. They placed upon their ticket a popul man, GRISWOLD, for Governor; money flow like trater, while abuse of Messrs. SEYMOUR a HOFFMAN ran with a still ?copor and fuller ci rent. Speakers wore imported for tho purpose villifying tho men heading thc Democratic tick und Grccly, Ravmond, Dann, and all the Uti dogs of the politionl pack, yelpod in concert t old cry nf ? disloyalty," "treason/' "Iraitoi and "enemy of tho Union." But despite tl bitter and unscrupulous opposition, Mr. SKYMO is endorsed by New York, and Mr. HOFFMAN W soon assume ?he reins of State authority, a look aftor the welfare and interests nf the Emp: Common w ealth. This result is owing to the plu and courage of the Democracy of New Yoi They could not be intimidated by Radical noi and bluster, nor daunted by the pretentious c hibitions of rvonlthy Radicals, like Stewart at Vanderbilt, playing th? part of virtuous and d interested patriots. The old banner of tho Dent eratic parly was unfurled, and under its folds t Democrats marched to a furo and glorious victor And Now Jersey, too, has proved herself worthy neighbor of New York. In this Stat tho Democrats have elected Hon. TrtEonnRE RAXROLPU, Governor, gained two members Congress, and secured agood working majority the Legislature. This latter result is peculiar gratifying, as it places a Democrat in tho Scnn of the United States in tho phce of Frolinghu sen, present Radical incumbent.

Their people aro attached to the Constitu?? as our fathers intorproted it They cannot bo s ducedor driven lrom tho old Democratic do trines. The past speaks to them in tones of wa n'mg, and all thc hopes of the future in conne tion with the perpetuity of a republican form government in this country, in their cstimatioi are centered in a return of the Democratic par to power. Believing thus, they cling to the pan of thc Constitution nf a drowning man clings a (dunk, and vote only for those who hold the san fath in honor, truth und sincerity.

The various voting p'recinU in the city were crowded yesterday at an early hour. Not withstanding thc rain that prevailed, there was a long line of voters at each precinct, with umbrellas of every description, und with out umbrella-?. At Ward No. 2 there as semblt d a large crowd of colored men, every one armed with a club, and many weariug ribbon? in their coats. These men during the day became excited, and fur a time a riot was apprehended. They mobbed every colored man who attempted to vole any but the radical ticket, and during the entire day, by their noisy, boisterous and threatening manner, cnn'.cd an apprehension of a distur bance. Their Him was to intimidate, but it is neediest? to'saythat in this they failed. The white p.ople were determined to exercise their franchise and-they did it despite thc threatening aspect of the erowd. We have frequently called attention to-the,presence at the-e places of the idle vagabond^, boys, who circulate among the crowd, and often t-uccced in creating a row. Of these tbcre^Vere a large number present, and their presence, haipj much to do with thc excited condition m t ' crowd. At. tho Third Precinct of Wa?d there was also a large crowd of i-xcit groes, evidently with the same object?in view. Owing, however, to toe calm und dig tiilied demeanor of the whites there resulted no breach t i thc peuce, and the polls cloaed without a sinirle disturbance of any impor tance, save those raised by drunken and ex cited mobs of black men. No better n?oof that the citizens of Charleston did their whole duty can be f..und than in the fact that gen tlemen, venerable men, whose hairs , had whitened with the snows of many winters, and who had not been at the polls in many years, came out yesterday and helped swell the vote for peace aud prosperity. It is also a notable fact that while the majority of Ig norant colored men were '. wedded to their idols," and afraid to vote for the man whom they knew was best Jilted for the position of Mayor of Charleston, because they were bul lied into voting for the '-League" candidates,, a large number of sensible, intelligent color ed men, R-pnblicaus too, had independecce' enough to vote conscientiously. I i Upou the whole, there is every reason for '( congratulation, in the fact that the public peace was preserved inviolable throughout 11 the heated and excited canvass of yesterday. | { The good naine of Charleston has not buen sullied-Charleston Courier, llth. Had it not been for tho bullying, intimida tion and ruffii.nly treatment of the colored I I men who desired to vote for Lesesno by their opponents, and had rot the importation and registration of country negroes been carriel ' on in the most .shameless and wholesale man- c ncr, the result for the Citizens' party wuuld 1 have been an overwhelming triumph.

BLOODY TRAGEDT_A terrible and horrid ragedy was enacted on our public square last Tight. About 10 o'clock a large body of dis :uised mounted men entered the square from Vashington street, and slowly, orderly, with iut a word, roJc aroand thc square, and pass id efT thc same way they came. At the imc, there was a radical meeting being held ii the Court House, composed almost entire; y of negroes, who, when thu procession ap )eared, rushed down from the Court-room ind set up the wildest yells, cursing apd cry .ig, " Charge on the Ku Klux! Shoot the lamncd rebels!" After the cavalcade had eft the square fully 200 yardi, a body of at east, twenty negroes rushed through the S?rth gate, armed with shot guns, pistols and idubs. Among them were a number of while [?en, who had been in attendance at the meeting. On the side-walk, along by the Moore building, were a large number of per jons, white and black, drawn there to witness tue procession. Just as thc negroes rushed through the gate, some one of them fired upon tho crowd on tho side-walk, and in a moment as many as thirty shof s were fired from bot!) parties, when the liring suddenly ceased, the ncgr es running oil" in many direction?. The sequel of this dastardly and fanatical outrage was the killing of one negro outright, mor tally wounding another, and tbc slight wound ing of a third ; the mortal wounding of one white man, seriously wounding a second, and slightly wounding two others. Judge Thur low, present Judge of Probate Court of Lime stone County, was shot through the bowels, and is almost certain tu die. The negroes came to the meeting with guns, for we saw one in a negro's possession ; and it is attested by twenty witnesses, some of them Federal soldiers, that the firing was commenced by negroes. The Ku-Klux did not molest Ihe negroes in any way whatever, and were off the square fully 200 yards be fore the firing ceased. Negroes were heard t?^s?y afterwards that tho matter was not settled yet. Lot every white man be ready to defend himself to thc death-Huntsville (Ala.) Independent, Nov 1. DEPARTURE OK GOVERNOR SCOTT-Gover nor Scott, who goes North with the view of completing some financial arrangements of thc Stale, and also in the interests -of the Blue Ridge Railroad, leaves the city by the North eastern Railroad -this morning. He is accompanied by the following gentlemen : General J. W. Harrison, President cf the Blue Ridge Railroad; Hon. F. A Sawyer and Messrs. Henry Gourdin, James H. Taylor, W.S. Hastie, W. H. Trescott and W.. Courtenay. The departure of thc Governor is the strongest evidence of the peace and tranquili ty of affairs in the State. The Governor, we learn, expressed himself as perfectly satisfied | and pleased v. ith the quiet and order that ac companied and succeeded the late election. A number of leading Democrats in the up country, after the result was announced, waited on the Governor and declared their determination to accept cheerfully,'and abide by, the decision of the people. They signi fied their readiness to stand hy and support thc State Government in its acts, and to use all their influence in inducing tho people throughout the State to do likewise. In reply the Governor expressed tho great pleasure their visit had given him, and his belief that this action on their part would do more to restore unanimity among our people, and place the credit of the Sute where it de serves to be, than any special political ex pression or doctrine could ever possibly ef fect. He expressed the belief, owing to the small debt of the State in comparison with the liabilities of others, that with a success ful administration of tho State Government and acquiescence and harmony among the people, South Carolina, by internal improve ments and otherwise, must in a short time become financially one of the foremost States of thc Uuion, as she was already, from her climate and geographical position, one of the most attractive.-Charleston News. DARLINGTON^ DISTRICT.-The Darlington The painful news reached this ylace yes terday that Mr. John K. Law, son of Augus tus Law-and one of our most esteemed cit izens, was shot during the previous night, causing general excitement throughout the town. The following are as near the facts as we could obtain, before going to press. Mr. Law was aioused by a noise in the yard, and on getting up, found a crowd of colored per sons in the yard, some armed, who were pos ted as sentinels about the house to prevent any one from passing out. The party had robbed Mr. Law of his cotton, having a wag on with them, and were taking his poultry off, when Mr. Law fired upon them ; the fire was returned by the party. Mr. Law stand ing in his window, one shot entering thc head, and others in different partH of his body, inflicting dangerous wounds. It U hoped Mr. L:iw may recover, but the casu is doubt ful. Two parties ure in pursuit of thc rob bers. This is the worst case of rubbery and attempt to murder wc have known in Dar lington. BULLOCK'a PARTISANSHIP.-Bullock, the bogus Governor of Georgia, offers a reward of $5,000 for the apprehension and conviction of the man who shot Ruflin, but he does not offer one Cent reward for the apprehension and conviction of thc men who. shot young Law and police officers Ree.1 ar.d Bryson, of [ Savannah. Does not this prove that Bullock is a base partisan, and seeks only to inflame public opinion nt the North against the law abiding and forbearing people of Georgia? If this man Bullock, who is Governor of Georgia, by and through fraud and intimida tion, was desirous of discharging the duties of his office impartially, he would have been equally prompt to isMie a proclamation for the arrest and conviction of the murderers of the peace officers in the city of Savannah, W'JO were shot down whilo in the discharge of their sworn duty.' ? '-? RETURNING HOME.'-Ex-Govornor Orr re cently contemplated removal to Minnesofa. Wc now learn that the Governor, after visit ing the Weit, has decided to abide the for tunes of hh native State, and has accepted a Judgeship under the new State Govern ment. This is the right spirit. Stand by the Stale and aid in her development. We know of no State which needs thc services of her sons now more than South Carolina.-Chron icle Jc Sentinel. HVME.VIAL ETIQUETTE.-A few days since ? young gentleman and young lady appeared nt thc parsonage of an eminent clergyman of | this city, For the purpose of having their ras pective destinies united in thc holy bonds of matrimony. Everything being ready, the slergyman aforesaid was about to proceed with tue ceremony, when the young lady dis covered that she was minns the kid gloves so necessary on such occasions; whereupon she requested her affianced to hasten to a store and procuro the indispensable kids, telliug him to " be in a hurry or she might change her mind." The clergyman, witnesses, and intended bride waited some time for the re turn of the youth with the gloves ; he didn't ?me. They waited longer, and still he fail ed to put in an appearance. Tho matter at last becoming really serious and alarming, thu clergyman took his hat and proceeded, pest haste, in search of thc truantlover. whom tie found, after a dilligent search und many inquiries, quietly seated on tho veranda of the Park House, with his feet elevated on the sack of a chair aud very deliberately puffiing i cigar. On being asked to explain his sin gular condo j t, he carelessly remarked that ie " was waHing to seo if she was going to ?bango her mind." They were married, iowever, at last, after two hours' delay-Ot tawa (III.) Republican. - ?._^_? - -- HYPERCRITICAL.-A colored member of he South Carolina Legislature was in our !ity ? u>rterday.

C., correspondent of the Charleston Couria', under dato of thc olst Bays : Tbis town his become quite a cotton mar ket, and by consequence a heavy distributer of all kind? of merchandise. Tho adjoining Districts nil contribute to its present business prosperity. Tbis sometimes, givesus strange visito! ', who play antics which meet with nei ther approval nor endorsement :<i our peace able community. Yesterday, a party of white men, said to be from Darlington, after selling their cotton here, lett town in their .carts in rather exuberant spirits, and while passing through the suburbs, indulged in very noisy detnonstiations. and attacked sev eral colored persons whom they met, and managed to leave behind them quite an ex citement. A colored Deputy of the Sheriff was sent after them to bring them buck, but when he succeeded in overtaking them, they took his pistol from him and beat him very severely. On his return to headquarters with this report, a white and colored posse were dispatched after the ofl'onders, who were in due time conducted back to town, and will be, doubtless, held to answer for violating law and resisting process. " These are believed to be the facts in the case, und there is no desire to add much in the way of comment. The occurrence as sumed more importance than would other wise attach to it, from the peculiarly inflam mable character of our present surrounding.--. This community has maintained a character for peace ; and fully apprised of the condition of the population, it is not prepared to thank any one who.Will walk into the magazine with a pipe in bis mjutb. Colored deputies may in some respects be very useful to the Sheriff, but their employment in arresting white men cannot be expected to work well in a country like this-at least such is a cur rent opinion. And the more disorderly the parties to bc arrested, thc more probable will be an unpleasant result. Hence, while one class of our people may bc urged to prac tice forbearance, it would seem not unreason able to expect the party in power to ovoid all unnece-sary sources of irritation by which existing difficulties may be needlessly com plicated and thc peace disturbed. A patriotic old lady has written a letter to Secretary Mcculloch, slating that she had been informed that tho interest on two cents for a thousand years would pay off our public debt Sho had not made tho computation and could not yreak positively, but if this is tho case she could not see tho utility of so much talk about repudia tion when the payment of tho national debt is only a matter of two cents and a question of time. She was willing to furnish tue principal for that purpuso, and accordingly enclosed two cents which shu requosted should not bo dopotited to swell thc conscience fund, bxt .shout! be placed at interest for the liquidation of the public debt. _?3ET The will of the late Edwin A. Stevons, of New Jersey, boquoathes nearly twenty millions of dollars. Two public school houses in Hoboken, built at his oxpenso, are bequeathed to that city, and $650,000 for the erection and maintenance of another is donated. The Stevens battery, for the completion of which one million is donated, is to bo pru.'onted to tho State of New Jersoy. Tho rest of the property falls to the widow and children. His eu tire estate is estimated at from forty to fifty millions of dollars. ?Sf Adam is claimed a.- having belonged to the fraternity of provision dealers, as he eagorly engaged in disposing of spar? rib. pS" Personal attraction may, fur a time, fas cinate and dazzle tho eyo. Be ni ty may please, but beauty alone never captivates. The lily droops, tho rose wlthors, and beauty, sooner or later, must decay ; but the charms nf thc mind are imperishable-they bud and bloom in youth, and continue to flourish aa long as lifo- remains. Those, and thoso alone, aro the charms that must and will forever enchant. Cast no dirt into tho well that has given A SINGULAR STORY.-Every day at one of the Recorders Courts is to be found an el derly lady, neatly, even elegantly dressed, ap. parently watching with intense interest each trial as it is called, and when the Court has adjourned, quietly moving away with the crowd. She bas a painful and singular his tory. Childless and alone in the world, she was once the centre of a happy family circle. But a serios of misfortunes came and left her hopeless and aimless. The epidemic of 1555 deprived her of her husband and two of her children. Of her two- remaining sons, one was killed in the anny, and the other, about a year since, was arraigned before this same Court for murder. Before this awful shock the mother's reason reeled and left her a harmless maniac. Since then she each day imagines ber son on trial, and watches there for bis coming. Day after day she prose cutes her tireless watch. Disappointment never affects her, for she thinks she will see him to-morrow. Those who have charge of lier gratify the harmless delusion, and thus morning and evening she is found at her post, influenced by an affection that defies the flight and wreck of reason.-New Orleans Picaytiue. SASK AND THE GRECIAN BEND.-It is said that the Grecian Bend was driven out of Sar atoga by tho nickname of thc " cholic stoop," which was given to it by John G. Saxe-for which he .deserves the thank? of the country. Ridicule will sometimes i-tteCt reforms where reason is powerlass. This vulgar fash ion stood the attacks of the latter for weeks, until Saxe Ie: fly his shaft, when it succumb ed at once. Like all watering places, Saratoga has al way* on hand several old bachelors, who hav ing been kicked successively for twenty sea sous, have become hopeless, soured and lilied willi spite against the reigning beauties, be cause their mother-? would not ace-pt them. Tbtvtc dry old fellows, after they had n-ad Saxe's sharp attack on the abominable defor mity, would go up to a young lady and mali ciously enquire after her health, saying that they hud beard that she had been seriously !<ick, but hoped she was better-trusted she would take better cure of her health, ?fcc. The lovely creatures did not at firsi un derstand these kind inquines, but as soon as j they saw Saxe's?attack they understood it *t once, and not one has since put on thc airs ! and graces of one afflicted with the cholic. Fovn-iN IIAN'U -A SPLENDID TURNOUT. Mr. Laid, au English traveller, in his u Nar rative of an Expedition into the interior of* Africa, in 1832, 1833 aud 1834, Vol. 1, p. 19, say.-* : " On tho day after our arrival at Cape Coast Castle, the Governor treated me to a drive in his light carriage. When tho reader is informed that he drove four in hand, he must not imagine that horses ure meant. Thc Governor's carriage was drawn by lour ne groes, natives of the soil, who tramped along right merrily, nt the rate of five miles an hour. At first I was somewhat shocked at what seemed to me a little stretch of power ; but discovered that the honor of being put iuto'harness in the Governors catriage, was eagerly sought for by thc natives, and that those who were selected for the service were objects of euvy among their countrymen." ?S-?r A correspondent tells us how to prevent hydrophobia.
