A Suggestions.
There is a serious question now emi
rassing the medical, traternity. ' Whal
to be done about the medical treat men
the freedman? A Doctor cannot, inj
tice io himself, buy medicine and waste
time in attending* on the sick freedc
without compensation.
Humanity, it may be said, demand
them the service ; but then- are two si
to this question. The physician's i
ditty is tonis own family, and to til
patrons who pay him promptly for
.-ervices. He can be under no obligati
tb serve those who do not pay him for
services, Again, it is a fact well leno
'io all, that the. freedman will always s<
for a Doctor upon the slightest troul
a53 is never satisfied, be his attent
ever so particular. Nor will he work
exchange the fruits of his labor to pay
the Doctor's bill if he can avoid it.
The freedman has set himself up in
tagonism to every thing which corn?s fi
the white race, and he has certainly
right to expect favors.
The physicians, in many cases, have
solved not to visit those who will not ]
for their services ; and if this should
come the practice, many must neccessa:
suffer.
Is there any plan by which this cap
obviated? It has been .suggested by sc
persons, that in every township a tax
capital be assessed upon each freedm
to constitute a permanent fund, to be VJ
for the payment of medical atiende
upon such freedmen as are unable to ]
for medical services.
A very small amount paid by each frc
man, would create a fund large cnou
nerhaps, to pay most of the charity pi
ncc: And us the freedman pay?; you J;
say, no tax toward the support ol' "
best government the sun ever shone c
not even a poll-tax for the education of
own offspring, (for what thev pay is mei
nominal,) he ought not to object- to pay
a small tax to save his own race from s
l'ering.
The above suggestions are thrown
to provoke public attention.- PRO Bc

SHOOTING AFFRAY.-On yesterday ev?
ing. about seven o'clock, a shooting afin:
occurred in the office of the Globe HoU
which,- for a while., occasioned a good de
of excitement. The facts of the eas
from what we can learn, appear to ha;
been as follows : Several days ago, Otis 1
Cook, a Northern man, who Ls living an
doing business in Aiken, South Carolin
came to this city and stopped at the Glul
Hotel. He deposited one hundred an
seventy dollars in theofnee, with a requei
that he be not allowed to spend more tba
seventy dollars of trie amount, as he secrr,
cd to bc aware of his weakness. ' For tw
or three days he seems to have drank
good deal, and declined to return to hi
home. He frequently drew small sums c
money from his deposit, and on yesterday
afternoon came for more, while, apparent
ly, a good deal under the inlluenceot'liquoi
Mr. Hewitt, the proprietor, gave him wha
lie wanted, but stated that he did nt wisi
to have such a drunken brute in his hems
any longer. Later in the evening "C poi
. came in again and demanded his money
which the clerk was preparing to give him
when he asked for the proprietor vf tb
hotel, applying a very insulting epithet ti
him, and saying that he had come for ai
apology. Mr. Hewitt was sent for, an<
when he came into the office he and Mr
Cook had some words, which resulted ii
the former striking the latter on his beac
and shoulders with an iron " shoo-ily" rod
Mr. Cool: then drew a rev dver, when Mr

A BALTIMORE SENSATION,-The terri
bli erime of the ''Connecticut Borgia,"
as the woman who has poisoned three
husbands and eight children is styled by
the press, has been followed by a most ex
citing sensation in Baltimore. Thepapers
of that city come tins full of the details
of an alleged poisoning case,' in which a
lady of refinement und high position in
society is the leading actor, which isscarce
Iv less horrible than the Connecticut story.
<.?n Monday bunch warrants were issued
rom tho Criminal Court ii; this city for

As yet but little action has been taken in
the matter by the officers of the ?aw.
MORE TROUBLE FOR BOWEN.-A writer
in the New York Tribune argues that the
President has not the power of pardoning
the bigamous Bowen, for the reason that
the District of Columbia has a territorial j
constitution, under which the Governor is
vested with the power of pardoning com
moh.criminals.sentenced.by the courts of
the District. Bigamy is a common crime,
ar.d in. no-way-an offence against the Uni
ted States;, and so this writer maintains .
that totf'Px&sid?nt dould have no legal au
thority to the pardon in this case.

Bre.tkin; of the Dams at Langley
aud Bath -H?ls.
It w as only "Wednesday, a week ago,
that a terrible storm of wind tore .off- the
roof of the Langley Mills, creating dam
age that' it took some time to repair, and
now we chronicle an occurrence of a yet
more serious nature, which has thrown
about two hundred hands out of employ-'
ment and entailed mucti loss oh the com
pany. About half past one o'clock Mon
day" night, states the watchman pf the
mills, there were no signs of anything
wrong about the dam, but in a short time
after he had made the inspection and re
turned to the mill, he heard a roar and
rush of water, and running out discovered
that the dam was broken and rapidly
crumbling away while the water was be
ing emptied at a rapid rate into thc plain,
below. Early Tuesday morning nearly'
one-half of the dam had been leveled by
the torrent, while about four hundred yards
of the track and road bed of the South
Carolina Railroad was so washed up and
injured as not to admit of the passage of
the regular trains. The passengers over
this route were accordingly transferred to
cars which were sent to meet them on the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Kail
road and thus brought, to the city. A
large force of workmen was at once sent
to the scene Of the disaster, and the track
was repaired during the day. The trains
passed over the road as usual last evening.
The great excess of water from the pond
at Langley rushing into - that of the Bath
Paper Mills' r short distance below, caused
a break in the dam ;here, and about 150
feet of it was destroyed.
The damage to Langley is very great,
and peculiarly distressing at this' time.
The company" has had great trouble in
obtaining the requisite number of good
harfds, and they will be hard td replace
when the milla have been again put in
working order. This militates mor'against
thc company than the outlay ol' money
required to repair the dam, while the dis
tress caused by it among the factory peo
ple themselves is pitiful indeed. Thrown
suddenly out ot employment without
means to support themselves until they
0 itain other situations, their sufferings
cannot help being severe. This company
1 ! doing ali in its power to relieve them,
but, as" a matter of course, it cannot,- un
. .:. tho circumstances, support so large a
tumber of .persons.
lt is supposed that it will be three or
lour months before thegap in the dam can
be hued up and the mills commence oper
itions once more. The work will be push
; forward us rapidly us possible by a suffi
ent force pf laborers.
The cause of the breakage is not posi
tively known, but the supposition is ihat
either a musk rat had bored through some
portion of the dam, thus giving room- for
the water to sap the whole structure, or
else a.land slide occurred at some part of
i after the watchman had passed, thus al
owing the water to flow over the dam,
and to quickly plough out a way for its
destructive course. The storm Monday
afternoon had nothing to do with the ac
cident, as there was no increase in the.
volume of water in the pond after it had
passed.-C onstitutionalist, 20th.

ST: Lons, July 15.-The Fort Smith
(Ark.) Era, of July 3d, learns from depu
ty United States Marshals McLemore and
Baer, that Satanta and Big Tree, two
Kiowa chiefs, captured at Fort Sill when
General Sherman was there and sent to
Austin, Texas, attempted to escape from
Prison, and. actually released themselves
trom the shackles by gnawing the flesh
from their hands and feet; but were dis
covered and shot dead, Marshals McLe

there should be a general outbreak of the
reserve Indians upon the settlements, to
take vengeance for the death of their
chiefs.

SENT TO JAIL FOR, LACK OF BAIL.
Wiley Bishop (white) was.brought before
United States Commissioner, Capt. John
F. Porteous, at this place, yesterday, on a
charge of forgery and violation of post
office laws. The evidence against him
>roved that he had received a letter for a
\lvs. Trammell, had broken it open, and
finding therein a check for twenty-four
dollars on the United -States Treasury,
office at Charleston, requiring Mrs. T's
signature, he forged her name thereto and
suki the check to one of our merchants.
Being unable to raise the necessary amount
pf bail, ht was sent to jail to await his
trial at the next term ol' the United States
Court. Bishop was elected to the Legis
lature in ISO-S, by thc Republicans of this
County; his terni expired in 1S70.

?REWARD OF LOYALTY.-President Grant
:?? .-. as prominent among the reason
oving him to pardon the bigamist
- vven, that "he rendered good service tu
t ie c l?se of the Union.''' \ Whether, (says
Western exchange) Grant designs to iii
mate that " Unionists" should be allow
ed mere matrimonial privileges than " Reb
els ' ?o-calle4,. is not clear. Thc Court
that '.ried Bowen seems feb have though
aim _ too much devoted to the idea ol
'. union" in the family way: .
Judge Murray, of Milwaukee, "Wis., a
few days ago, in sentencing a confessed
poisoner, to imprisonment- for life, said:
"I am induced lo think, and believe that
the universal practice of pardoning cri
minals, sb common in these days, is one of
the incentives to the commission of crime,
inasmuch as criminals are led to expect a
brief incarceration. In this case, consider
ing the aggravated circumstances under
which the crime was committed,, amd its
cold-blooded character, I should," were the
death penalty in force, feel constrained to'
pass it upon you, and if many such - atro
cious crimes are developed in this commu
nity there will be a strenuous call for the
re-enactment of the death code."
DEATH AT THE FONT.-A few days ago
a lady was called in io baptize a colored
infant which was supposed to be dying.
Thinking it could be carried to the church,
she directed the mother to do so, and at

ed, it died.-Charleston Courier.

The Orange Riots in New York Last
Week.
As was/eared, the parade of the Pro-,
testant Irishmen in New Yorifc^ week, j
was attended with fearful and bloody'
rioting. The municipal authorities of j
the city very * cly and culpab?y for
bade the parr ^f the Orangemen, in
stead of mak immediate preparations
to protect them in'wliatVas simply their
right and privilege as American citizens.
But Gov. Hoffman seeing that the^pro
ceedings of the municipal authorities
would bring odium not only upon them
selves but upon him, telegraphed from
Albany that the parade should be al
lowed, and that .the militia should be
called out to protect tho Orangemen.
This, however, was only a few hours be
fore the parade was to take place, and
-adequate time was not left to make pre
parations for keeping the peace. The
Orange procession started, flanked by
police and militia, but the Hibernians
and their sympathizers were determined
to thwart and annoy them. In many
parts of the city the procession was fierce
ly attacked by large and furious mobs:
Indiscriminate firing took place between
these mobs on the one side, and the police
and militia on the other. Women were
the fiercest of the fierce, apd cheered on
the rioters. Indeed it is said that the
first shot was fired by a woman. The
.streets of New York ran red with "blood,
and the number of victims is variously,
set down as from 60 to 200. Some of these
victims were of the police, some of the
militia, but mostly of the mob. The
funerals of the latter were attended by
the Hibernians in full regalia of green.
The conduct of the New York municipal
authorities was undoubtedly a disgrace
ful surrender to the demands of a bloody
and infuriated mob. But, after .all, the
Irish will fight. Let them be Orange
men, Hibernians, Fenians, prince, peas
ant, or bishop, they are bound to be
knocking each other, or. somebody else,
over the heads with clubs.
One of the Proposed Candidates. '
Genl. Hancock is much talked of as
tho Democratic candidate for the next
Presidency. The New York Sun depre
cates his nomination, saying that Grant
has made the whole country sick-of mil
itary government, and that it wants no
more soldiers in office. It is an old say
ing that the hair of. the dog. is good fox
the bite; and on the same principle it
may be that a soldier is the best cure for
the mischiefs done by a soldier. But it
will bo full soon to consider this matter
twelve months hence.
A High Compliment.
The Charleston News, of the 24th, con
tains the following complimentary notice
of the " Policy holders' Life and Tontine
Association of the South." It is a just
trib?tete a prorjerly-managed institution.
This is the only Life Assurance Compa
ny in the State, and deserves the patron
age of our people.
"Tho New York Under vir Uer and Gen
eral Joint Stock Register, for May, has
been laid on our desk. Among its items
of interest to the life insuring public, we
notice the annual report of the Presiaont
of tho ' Policy-Holders' Life and Tontin?
Assurance Company of the South." The
publication of this report by that journal,
was, we learn, entiroly voluntary, and,
therefore, it is a compliment which
should be, and no doubt is, highly ap
preciated by the officers ard trustees ol' ]
the company, because, as it may fairly
be assumod, the plans and practice ol'
the company, as detailed in th? report,
meet the approval of its editors-; and ap
proval from such recognized authority
in life insurance circles is no small com
mendation.
" It luis, beeu top much tho practice of |
Northern insurance 'journals tb decry
any and every effort to establish Soutt?
ern life companies, but the Underwriter,
of New York, has, by this publication,
given evidence of having risen above
such petty prejudice, aud of its desire to
give publicity to such principles and
practice iii life assurance as meet its ap
proval, whether found South or North
of Mason aud Dixon's line. Wo are
pleased to sec this implied recognition of |
the merits of this young company, not
only because we believe the company
entitled to it, but because we believe it
will givo confidence te timid people,
some of whom may bo.found in every
community, who may hive withheld
support from the company until now, in
stead of aiding its earliest efforts at. es
tablishment.
"The support of this company will-, in
a mensuro, supply a want winch has pre
vented a more speedy recuperation in all
the departments of industry, to wit : Cap
ital. Could th e. aggregate amount of Ii lo in
surance premiums sent out ol' the State
since thc war have been retained for in
vestmentin it, we feel assured the sum
would be moro than than the agygpgntc
of the banking capital now employed in
it. Comment is unnecessary. We have
nothing to "Say against the agencies that
supplied a want "we could not supply,
but now that we can offer the assuring
public a home company, entitled to their
confidence, let assurants by every motive
of Amor Pat riae give the Policy-Holders'
Coinpanj* tho support it deserves."
.IST The Dalton (Ga.) Citizen hears,
without relying on the report, that a ter
rible murder had been committed utsome
point on the Selma, Rome and Dalton
Railroad. It seems that a man- was at
tacked by a party of negroes and robbed
of about $7,000.. On the discovery of the
deed, suspicion rested on twelve hegrcfes,
nine of .whom were caught, accused and
living, having confessed toa knowledge
and participation, in the crime.

Miss Mary Ann Buie {says the Colum

the Taxos and paying off the indebted
ness of tho County? The Tax-payers
who have been forced to pay their money,
are interested to know what has become
of the surplus funds after the expenses
of collecting have, boen deducted. Will
Mr. Woolly please inform them what
amount of Poll Tax ho has collected up
to this date, what effort has been made
by him to collect the balance, how many
white and how many colored men have
paid their Poll Tax the present year,
and what disposition has been made of
the money?
As the Grand Jiu*y failed to investigate
the conduct of many of tho .officials pl

heard. And they have their remedy,
and will resort to means to make thc va

citizens of Newberry and Abbeville
County have had a successful hearing,

'* Ho?e-tP'^.cquir? a ittore Efficient
. Jfr^^'flto"?9t^y.',
TKB?S 'a tjfte^ion frequently asked,
but seldom (in my opinion) is it ever
correctly, answered. The Christian Re
ligion Ls not spreading through the land
'with that rapidity-that it should. The
Aause of Cl(t??fri8'snfferins. Sinners are
rushing to everlasting ruin, that would
bo wording Igjjjiry for the salvation of
,'soul3, if Ave^cm?ltl but liavo eslnhlishctl a
more efficient Ministry j eur? ago.
''.Minisrers'rVf'ttW'Ho?-pel Khf?'.i: why it is
lhat pur Ministry^ ?o .delicien:. .Some
af (lie leading me^abeij?r'' of tho Church
Know why it i3 ;-'and itally ari}- conscien
tious and thinking .man -nan .readily, ?ea
why it is. It is simply because tho Min
istry is hot supported; Support the Min
istry and then the, talented of our coun
try will seek it. As it now is, what in
ducements bas.a collegiate to enter the
Ministry, who'has spent all his property
procuring his education ?, H? thinks to
himself, I would like to' enter the Minis
try but I cannot afford-.to do it. It" will
not support myself and family. He there
fore seeks some other Profession more
profitable,-and'the Ministry loses a faith
ful, intelligent -and Christian-hearted
Minister.
Those who don't want to give anything
to the Ministry will say, " If I have time
to go to hear a Minister, he has time to
preach to me, and should do it for noth
ing;" or eBothey'wllisay, '-Thepreach
er needs but little money.- He should
; plough through the week,- and preach on
the Sabbath." When at the same time
they will tell you, they don't care to go
to hear a Minister preach unless he knows
more thati. themselves ; and frequently
you behold [them fast asleep on. their
seats while the Minister ia preaching.
Thia ia an'idea, advanced by many, that
?I call a self-protecting-idea, and it is one
that will not stand a thorough investiga
tion by moral ,,?">n''w' How can a
Minister plough, rli ino week, and then
attend his appointment on tho "Sabbath
and preach the Gospej successfully, when
the listener fs asleep, half of his time on
account of his wearisomeness through
the week. ' .rri
A Minister of the Gospel should have
no other profession, to bother his mind.
His mind should be wholly centred
upon the Gospel, and nothing else. He
should devote all his spare time to the
reading andpreparingof sermons. Then,
if he is an intelligent and Christian
hearted marif he is apt to understand the
Scriptures aright"; and when he gets into
tho pulpit toaddress a congregation he is
nt no loss fof%orr/.?, and administers tho
('ospel to his^^congregation fluently and
?successfully. When a profossionist of
any kind attempts mote than the one
profession heis most apt to experience a
serions loss from each. Let a profess
rsioniat have but the one profession, and
let him give mat profession-all of his at
tenti?n, and he will most assuredly.be
Mocceasful. .
3 .Well now, thc all and important quos
. ion arises, to my mind, ' How is the
Ministry to be bettor supported ? It can
only be done successfully In' assessment.
"Thc laborer is worthy of Iiis hire?" This
is a portion .pf Holy writ#that, in my
estimation, points to assessment. How
can the different Churches of our coun
try dispense with the brass and establish
a pure body, unless it Ls by assessment?
A Christian-hearted man feels it tobo
his duty ;<> help all lie mn foi- thesup
fportpf tho Ministry, ll lindie? bul ii'.ilc
material difference, Jiow poor lift'ls; ho
is going to save his t:ar,nLugs and help
thc Ministry. [O'ho bra.?s hearted wul
attend preaching.- ;MK.! have inore to say
about the preaching J han believe^
and Will bc seen talking bea- and there
trying to make themselves conspicuous
in the eyes of men, but when you call
upon them to. help support thc Ministry,
they at oncoffl?a?poverty, and are mem
bers of the Church too.
How,*I ask, ban such men bo expelled?
It can only be done by an act' of the dif
ferent Associations. Let them unitedly
pass a resolution that every member of
the different Churches is required to pay
for the support of the Ministry annually
the sum of Two Dollars. Then, if a mem
ber wishes to pay more, let bim do it,
and the Treasurer make a record of it,
and read it out in his Church Conference
publicly one time.
If a member feels that he or she is not
able to pay thc assessment, let them
.stand up in Church Conference and make
known to thc body theirsituation, where
upon the Church can then act in their case
asitthinksbest. If a member fails to com
ply with the assessment, let him or her
be expelled immediately.
This is the oplj- way T can seo to estab
lish a more efficient Ministry. I think it
will eventually bc done, and the sooner
thc better. This I write expressly for
thc Baptist denomination; though all
others denominations, I think would do
well to establish it. J. H. K.
