Death of Two Edgefield Ladies in the West. * With feelings of deepest sadness,* wo record the la& deaths, in Caddo Parish, La., of two much beloved Edgefield la dies, the widow and daughter ol' Dr. Ar thur Youngblood, who, himself, died there some four years back. Mrs. Young blood was a daughter of tho late Col. ? Jacob Smith, and was aged, at tho time of frer death, about forty-seven. Mrs. Sales, her daughter, was but twenty-one. Mother and daughter died within a few weeks of each other. Of Dr. Arthur Youngblood's family there now remains "| but one little boy. How About a Town Council. How about a Town Council for-tho en suing year? The time draws near for the annual election-tho second Mondam in April. See notice .of the present Council. And by-the-by of the present Council, whatupou earth have they to say why sentence of death should not bc pronounced against them ? They put us in mind of the old negro's toast in Ala bama, to some gentleman just going out of office: "You como- into oftis wid mighty little opposition, and you gwine out widout enny !" But back to tho main question. Let us be up and arranging a. ticket. It has been suggested that we try quite young men this time. The idea is perhaps a gcodbne. "We have a number of young men in our tora who are decidedly en ergetic and enterprising in their own business. And they doubtless would manage the public .weal equally well. We have now but a short time to act in. "A Short Horse Soon Carried." But how about a long horse ? In fact three long horses? We allude to the three grand advertisements of Mr. J. H. Cheatham, Mr. W. H. Brimson, and Markert & Clisby. Read them well, and do not attempt to make sliort work of it. Con the lists, carefully. And then you will know whero to go, and how to do. Harbmsers of Spring. Wre don't mean len hirondelles-the swallows, nor auything bf that poetic sort. We simply mean two very practi cal and useful gentlemen, Mr. Lebe schultz and Mr. 0. P. Cheatham, who have just returned from New York, where they have been to replenish their respective stocks. Both of them are tasteful and judif'irtus. So look out for beauties and bargains when they an nounce themselves ready. Arrest of Mr. James Brewer. The Graniceville case, in which ancoro girl shot thc infant child of Mr. James Brewer, was afterwards shot herself, and the subsequent shooting of Mr. Albert Turner, is still fresh in thc mind of the public. On yesterday, to thc great surprise of our community, Mr. Brewer was brought to Edgefield to be lodged in jail, having been arrested in Granitevitlc thc day be fore, upon evidence pointing to him as the person who shct Turnor. A strange and improbable tale truly ! Under the new law, which allows a prisoneu to be heard for bail bofore two Trial Justices, Mr. Brewer bad a hearing last night, Tuesday, 26th, before Trial Jus tices Ramsay and Eichelberger. Messrs. Youmans <v Sheppard and Maj. W. T. Gary appeared for tho prisoner. This hearing resulted in thc release of Mr. Brewer upon bail. Mr. B. has returned to his home. This evidence against Mr. Brewer and his arrest sire ascribed, bj" the public geireralh-, solely to personal malice, ora malignant scheme. Truly the -wanton shooting of au infant ly a negro woman was terrible enough in it self, but what endless trial.-, and troubles has it not subsequently brought m its train? Feeling It and Bewailing II! We allude to thc rigor of tiie weather. While thc- wire tells us of bitter cold, and drenching rain,.and driving sleet in London and New York, wc too shiver with the actual knowledge of such un seasonable visitations. And besides all these within the past week, wc have had snow also-a brisk and blinding snow. Garden beds have still no sign of spring about them, and arc covered just now jvith mud and ooze. Tho.rains ol' the last two days have been absolutely alarm ing, and farmers arc much belated und discouraged. Yesterday (Monda}-) thc Beaver Dam boomed like thc waters oft ho deluge-in Noah's time-and we sat and thought, if v. chad a little yacht, how ad venturous ?ind delightful it would bc to set sail to Augusta-first down Beaver Dam, then down Turkey (.'reek, then down Stevens Creek, then down the broad Savannah, then down the Canal, and then-to the grand opening of Jas A- Gr/ry it Co. in their nev.- marble pal ace, to l&ke place to-day, Tuesday 2<>!n.

From the following statement, thought fully furnished tisby Mr. Ramsay, Clerk of the Court, it will bc seen that our lat. terra of Court cost the iax-payors o?

Thc Governor will bo petitioned, in her behalf, for par don or commutation ov sentence. Court Having adjourned, on Thursday evening Judge Melton departed for his homo in Columbia. Buring our near three weeks-session of Court, His Honor labored most faithfully, and evinced an earnest-desire to clear . our Dockets criminal as well as civil-and that a greater amount of business was pot dis patched is certainly no*fault of his. And furthermore, we are frank to say, that by his impartial rulings, evident acquire ments in legal acumen and familiarity with tho pleadings and pnfetice, and edurteous deportment towards tho mem bers of the Bar and tho officers of Court, tho Judge won honest encomiums from many who have hitherto differed, and s-ill differ, widely from him in his politi cal views. The Great Eveut cf thc Year 1872 in Augusta ! . Tho great event of tho year 1872, in Augusta, was thc opening on Tuesday last, of thc new Marble Palace of Jas. A. Gray & Co. To this great opening, very many of our people, we suppose, received an in vitation. The Augusta papers of this morning, Wednesday 27th, describo the occasion and thc scene to have been lav ishly rich in grandeur, liberality, inter est and prestige. A prominent feature of | tlie event Avas a splendid collation "rn the second door, with champagne flowing in countless streams of morey. . Truly, "the liberal heart doviseth liberal things!" Next week wc shall give our readers a more tangible picture of this stupendous Opening of Jas. A. Gray it Co. In the meantime, remember that thc First and greatest feat now to be achieved in Augusta, is to see, and know, and feel thc new Marble Palace of Jas. A. Gray it Co. Gentlemen, thc Advertiser drinks to you in a-glass of champagne painted by a kind and grateful fancy, foaming up to the heavens, and running down. typically, far to thc North, to thc South, to tho East, to the West-and covering Edgejieldva a blessed deluge! Does Not Every Lady Wish to Dress With Taste? Of course slie does, naturally ; that is, if she is a well-constituted and well trained woman. And not only does she wish lo dre's well herself, but she.wishes to dress ber children well, ber servants well, and to store her closets with beauti ful bed-linen and table-linen. Well, one of the very best places in the fun. city of | Augusta, for a lady to obtain all thc re quisites to these important ends, is tin elegant and prominent Dry-Goods Estab lishment of-Kean, Lnndrain & Co. at the old stand of H. F. Bussell A Co. The nev,- card ofihN popular firm, in this week's Advertiser, deserves (he attention of our people generally. Kean, Landram ct Co. having begun business only last fall, of course this is their first-spring opening. Therefore everything they have is of thc now&St, freshest and most fashionable-kind. Let no one think that because they arc in tho old l?enle of H. F. Russell ct Co. they have any of the .-tock of that finn. They have not a needle or a pen, even, that is not perfect ly new; But Kean, Landram and Co., individually, aro by no means new.

And ribbons and scarfs'are pladc to match. Dolly Varden was tho beautiful, girl (and good) of Dickens' old book "Barna by Budge." She was a blithesome, trip ping maiden, with a plump figure, rosy face, merry voico, gay calicoes and cher ry ribbons. And she was full of sweet bewitchments and pretty consciousness -jiour enj?ler les gar?ons. So come forward, you Dolly Vardens-wo havo our eye upon a number-and don your uniform..

The first band of Catholic missionaries to work among tho freedmen of the South, sent out at thc instance" of Archbishop Manning, thc eminent English prelate, has arrived. Forty more will soon como. to bc .followed at no distant day bj' as many as four hundred. Thcso priests cometo make a life work of missionary labor among tho blacks. They will doubtless make a decided impression, for tho Catholic. priest has always had a happy faculty ol reaching thc alludions : of such' class?e as tire the negroes. They were successful among the Indian? ; re markably so, and no moro heroic or self denying servie? can bo found anv-where than was exhibited in the wilderness of | "America by thoscrvantsof the cross who planted missionary stations and sowed with their religion thc seeds of civiliza tion. Tho ritual-thc forms and COremo iiies-of tho Catholic church, will havo a peculiar in?'uencei\pon the freedman, and a lew years will see the Catholic commu nities throughout tho South largely strengthened.

Tho State was represented by Attorney General Chamberlain anti ex-Governor Vance. Mr. Aiken's defence was in Ute hands of Vie srs. Rion, McCants and'Butler. While thc iVicn-lsof Mr. Aiken deeply regret thc occurrence that cost Mr. Clark his ?ile:, they will bo gratified to learn iii:;- thc plea of self-defence, which they baye urged in Mr. A's behalf, has been sustained in court. Tiie trial lasted live days, and excited great interest in thc community. - ?-"v...- ? - A few neighbors called at the house ol .: .Mr. Arnold, in Frederick County, Md., . ..i Funda}* evening, and were surprised lhut.no ono caine to the door to admit titein as usual. Conscious that the fami ly had no: lett tho house, the}* listened and lite Clint cry of a child convinced them that something was wrong. They sub sequently gained admittance by force, and were horror-stricken on beboldiiuj thc mother lying in the last agonies of death and her iivo children speechless and insensible. It is supposed they hod drank some tea which had been poisoned, and thc death of the motlier shortly after tho discovery would seem lo indicate some Mich theory. It is believed that thc tea which was made for supper on -Saturday evening, which had been pur chased at a country store a day or so pro viens, vas the vehicle through winch Ute poison was administered, and a por tion of it is in the hands .of a chemist, who will submit it lo a thorough analysis ami determino thc fact whether or not it contains poison. No suspicion of foul play exists on any member of thc family, for ?ll were equally-affected by tiie poison, save Mr. Arnold, who had left home for Baltimore with a drove of calilo a day or two beforo.tho fatal occurrence. He was immediately summoned homo, and i decply sorrow-stricken by tho great calamity that has befallen his heretofore happy and prosperous household.

Favorable Decision o?' the Supreme Court in thc Ku-Klux Cases. . [SPECIAL TELEGRAM" TO THE XEXVS.] . WASHINGTOX, Monday, March 25. Th? decision of the Supreme Court on the motion of Messrs. Johnson and Stan berry for writs of habeas cuijias and cer tiorari, in tiie ease of T. Jefferson Greer, one of tho convicted South Carolina Kn Klux, was delivered to-day. The Court decided to grant the motion, and ordered "the writs to issue, making them returnable on.tho 8th of April, and setting thc ease for argument on thc 12th of that month. The decision of thc. Court' was some thing ol' a surprise to tho counsel for the Government, who confidently expected a denial of tho motion. It is stated that every ell'ort will bc made, on the part of thc government, to defeat the presentation of tho question upon its merits when it comes up for ar gument. There is great dread of thc re sult of an inquiry, before thc Supremo Court, into the constitutionality of the Enforcement or Ku-Klux law, and every opportunity will bo seized of evading that issue.* .There is, also, a marked dis position in official circles to avoid any examination of tho proceedings of thc Circuit Court in tho Ku-Klux cases. An interestingdiscussion is anticipated when the next move shall be made. PALMETTO.

A wholesome medi cated stimulant is the ono thing needed in cases of this description, and science and experience unitoin pointing to Plan tation Bitters as tho true specific. The fact that it combines tho properties of.an invigorant with thoso of a regulator and alterative, in exactly the proportions ne cessary to produce a radical cha tige in thc tone of thc system, and thc action of thc digestive ana secretive organs, is an un answerable argument in its favor as a general restorative; *?G.
