That Mythical " Armed Force.'*
In February, 1869, the General Assem
bly passed a resolution authorizing thc
Governor to ann and equip a company of
one hundred men for thc defence ' of the
State. Under this resolution a body of
constabulary was organized, and a large
sum of aioney was expended. There'be
ing no further use for the " armed fprce,"'
if'there ever was any. it was suppclsed.-to
be disbanded. It appears, however", .that
since the first of November last, $82,423.
. -30 have been drawn from the State Treas
ury on account of this very armed force :
this huge disbursement being made, as
Justice Willard of the Supreme- Court
says, " in a year when no necessity for a
aort on tho part-of the State to military
force is known to have existed, and when
die resources of thc State arc inadequate
tx meet the current, expensesjaf the gov
ernment, orto provide for a" proper ad
ministration of justice." .
For our own part, wc do- not believe
that the Armed Force is in existence. We
believe that the money was corruptly used,
by Governor Scott in staving oft the im
peachment resolutions last winter. The
list of persons who received the money
tells the tale only too plainly :

! which is rented by two.young men, Calvin
j Ch ilk ; nd George Carter. Both ol' these
j men w< re absent from home on tilt- night
, of the raid. Their house was broken into
land searched; and when they returned
I h ihie in thc moniing they found th.it sev
j en quilts, four counterpanes, three paira of
! pantaloons and three v>-sts had been sto
len and ?:t-;",!'"l oir. As a supporting force
to the expedition, Hubbard had along Co
? nimbus Cranford; Giles Good and i??l
Palmer, three ?f thc most notoriously in
famous and lawless negroes m die country.
After the*}' were relieved from duty on
Wednesday morning; and while they were
retorning'home, they took occasion to call
it thc house of .Mrs. Piv-s Estes, whom
they insulted and threatened with their
loaded guns. From here they passed to
1 ?ie residence of Mr. E. JJ. R ?bins, and,
lu! gentleman being away from home,
hey attempted to go into his yard. When
ordered by his daughter not to do so, they
insulted her and leveled their guns af lier.
A detachment of cavalry, ander oom
mond of Lieutenant .E. 6. Godfrey, was
assisting the doughty.marshal on this raid,
and thc Chester"Reporter, which publishes
the above d?tails, aids: "In *justice, to
Lieutenant E. S. Godfrey, who was in
command ol' tho cavalry, and whom we
know and respect a* a gentleman, we are
assured by our informants that the soldiers
had noding to do with the breaking open
>t doors, throwing sick children about, &c.
Lieutenant Godfrey, we aro sure, would
neither do anything of thia kind himself
nor would he suffer it to be done by any
one under his command. Hubbard was in
command of this expedition-the cavalry
v/ere only along so as to give thc civil
authorities assistance in case any should
be heeded-and upon Hubbard rests thc
whole responsibility for everything."
THE THIEVES IX TROT?BI,E.-Th*? head
thieves in Columbia are in trouble. If we
?ay judge from what is transpiring in
''olunibia before the courts, and the disclo
. nres recently made by men who are in po
s .ions to know, we may at ?east hope that
tb'-don of thieves in this State is ina
f .ir way io be punished. The attempt,
by mandamos, to compel Secretary Car
duzo to affix his seai to more conversion
bonds, has brought forth from that func
tionary a manifesto in which ho exposes
some of the rascalities of the Financial
Board. . He shows that six million of
fraudulent, bonds have been used already,
and hence be de-?ines to seal any more
unless compelled by tho courts. On the
"showing made by the Secretary of State
and his counsel, 'ho '-..url refused the
mandamus. Enough Has been established
to warrant the belief that some of the
omefs* thieves in Columbia can be crimi
nailv convi.T'c-.l before 'he courts. Efforfs
are being maue t? that end.. We trust
they may be successfully prosecuted, ami
that the guilty parties maybe convicted

Greeley Items.
A " Wall street man" writes that it is a
mistake to suppose that Wall street is
opposed to Greeley. He says that Com
modore Vanderbilt, the heaviest operator
in the street, goes for Greeley; and so
does Daniel Drew, tlie Methodist specu
lator, and so does Anthony Dimock, the
great steamship, owner, and the boldest
of all the young operators on the stock
Exchange; aud so do Davenport, and
Van Schaickfand hundredsof other bulls
and bears.
' The Hon, Galusha A. Grow, for twelve
year9 Republican Congressman from the
Wilmot district of Pennsylvania, ?nd
the Speaker of the House during hi9 last
term of service, has formally repudiated
Grant and d'-c'iarcd for Greeley. Mr.
Grow's record us one of tue earliest, most
earnest and most consistent Republicans
has given him an unquestionable right
to rank* with" thc ablest and purest- lead
ers of his party.
Tlie veri?rabje Jame's Watson Webb, of
New York, has written a letter in favor
of his old antagonist Greeley.'
Thc names of three Democrats were
called from tonVustones ami 'made to flo
duty at a Wisconsin Grant meeting.
A fond father in North Carolina, who
has rejoiced in the advent of uiiie daugh
ters, recently had his firs' son born to
him, and signaled the event by naming
him Horace Greeley.
. Ex-President Andy Johnson made a
speech at Nashville, on tho 17th, to about
throe thousand poople. .It did not vary
much from his Knoxville speech, though
more elaborate. He referred to thc gen
eral preference fur military men for
office, and warned U:e popple against it
as ul' evil tendency ; and while speaking
j of amnesty asked amnesty forJiimself.
It i> inferred from this that he desires
thc nomination for Congress for tu a State
at large.
John Morrissey is ottering to-bet that
Greeley will carry New York, without
counting tho vote of either New York
eily or Brooklyn. Ila nlso blfiirs to bet
that Greeley will have forty Jo spare in
the electoral College.
Wm. J. Gillingham, President of ibo
Republican Invincibles nf Philadelphia
has resigned li is office and declares fur
the honest wood-chopper, ls this thing
never gol uig to stop ?
Grant is ready to clasp hands across
tho bloody chasm willi the ex-rebel who
will vote for him. But he i< disgusted
at the thought of Greeley doing sucha
tiling.
Colonel W. it. Myers, of Charlotte,
North Carolina, who entertained Secre
! tary Bout weil when in that placo on uh
recent stumping tour, hos now repudia
ted Grant und declared his intention to
, vote for Greeley.

. Ex-Governor John C. Edwards, of
Missouri, now nearly eighty years of
age, ana ;ui ultra Democrat, nus written
a lotter to Colonel Peter Saxe, of Califor
nia, winch gives a most sensible view ul
thc situation. Ho says: "I am against
all banks, all iironopofies, all subsidies,
any and ail tariffs, high salaries and
heavy fee bills, and in favor of direct tax
ntion. With nil this, I have no trouble'in
supporting Greeley. In a desperate tight,
wo should pick up thc best club to beat

For tho Advertiser.
Mn. EniTOlt: I have always thor
that uotlinig could make a neighborli
more desirable, attractive and pleat
than good roads. Not only our prb
roads, but our public highways, are
many places nearly iiupassablo, part:
: .. . in the clay country. This sho
:.. ? bc so. Thc crops are pow laid
thc overseers of roads are waiting ord
laborers arc abundant and at leisure, ;
why not have thc raids put in order
fore we commence our fall work?
Your humble servant served .as ll
Commissioner for a number of ye?
and his plan was to have all the hoi
called out in August, and have thc ro
weil worked by side-ditching and tim
lng the dirt in the middle of the ro
By following this plan, Iiis roads w
always in filio order, aud a pleasure
thc whole traveling community.
If we mistake not tho Commission
receive compensation? How abouti
pay, when they do nothing?
OLD COMMISSIONED
How to Fill thc .Bloody Chasm.
Senator Schurz delivered an able u
dress, Saturday night; to thc' Germans
Chicago, the mass of the German popa
tion being present. He'reviewed thc j
lit ?cal situation, showed that thc mis?!
of the Grant -party was ended, stigm?tia
its corruptions, its violations ol'law, a
?Ls unjust policy towards the South, a
maintained that the Liberal parly u
now lae only true party'of national refoi
and-.regeneration. In referring toM
'South, he said :
" If it is necessary to l?j. the blom
chasm, aa Mr. Bout well said; lip?br? pea
can be restored, let us throw thu Grs
parly into it, [great applause;] with tl
thieves and those who have ' violated tl
Constitution and thc.laws, with those wi
have violated their official oaths and pro
tituted their office to personal ends/wii
those who have held the highest offices ;
the Government in order to secure the
personal welfare; What can induce us 1
reject the hand extended1-by the Bouthei
people? Should wc not take it and I
glad ? I do not deny that there have bee
Ku Klux in the South .within thc pas
five years, but what is alleged bf tlier
now is not true. What was done yen
ago should not bc urged against Hiern non
The cry against, them should cease. I
. any Ku Klux did exist, they would ceas
the moment an honest Government wu
given to tho South. The reasons tin
Grant men urge why we should sustidi
the Administration are ab'mt these : Lc
corruption alone-it is ol' no consequence
Ictus reject these proffers of the South
they are not dictated by loyalty ; all wc
ask is. that you give us further control ol
the Government; the country needs it."
In conclusion, the Srmator addressed
himself particularly to his audience as
Germans. He said thoy had come to-this
country lo enjoy the privileges of person
al liberty, and they would never submit
to become the willing and base in 'tru
mcrrts of centralization. His heart was
gladdened by tho position his fellow-coun
trymen had always retained', in the war
ol' the rebellion they had fought side by
side with their native-bom brethren to
preserve tho Union, and a&v ?hey again
stood in the iront of tho phalun* thal
sought lo (secure the Welsings which the
bloody war bad vouchsafed. They were
the sons freedom, and would not' be
come tho willing tools of any despot, no
matter what pretext was alleged'to hold
them in bondage. .

earnestly. He requests that it be made

I thus present it, Mr. Editor, through
?ier?o?uraUs bl ydur paper. ' i p il
' it" is ^nowrt that nearly^every fand

of real estate upon wh i eh ho i s \ pay i n g

tfiirds of its value;- with the - privilege of
Tedeeftaing it when the road is finished.
If not redeemed, it will go as BO > many
shares of stock in the road:''Now it is
beliei'ed that a?ong the line <*f roadr'?eaI1
est?te , would be increased nt value at
least fifty par cent;,- and ip some instan-, j
ces a hundred per cent. ; VHK
Thia idea will encourager raen,to sobr.
scribe, as,.instead of. bei ny-losers, in? the
transaction they would be gainersi Every ,
.person so subscri.bin?, wou]dr ) after , the. |
stock; is taJf.en,.mak-e trtlo.and surety,'
upon, which-, >with, thesoad,, bonds;.Y*oul4
bo issued, on.mort^ges of fbe real estate
with the road ;/and.,j,t ia. believed .upon]
th implan any amount, of money could be
raised in ?mi York' or other nlace^..
.Uponsuch a. basfs {here, is no doubt
but that'the money could be obtained, as
there is no security in the-wroV-ld equal tb
mortgage' on real estate. The'1 bonds
would be payable in five and ten years. '
Subscribers of.land would not even bo
disturbed in tho'uso ahd cultivation'Of
tho land subscribed before the expiration <
of the mortgage, Ind at that' time every
one would have the privilege of redeem
ing at original aseesSed'valne. Henee it
would seem to fee a money making'op
eration in case of 'redemption; Those
not seeing propeB. U> redeem would of
course have their lands sold, and thereby
hold so much stock in the road.
There seems to bo hut one difficulty*
in the plan, and that is the taxation upon
these lands; but surely the -Legislature
could bo induced to release so much of
real estate from taxation as would bui?d
tho rond. Legislation is intended for the
general good, and to release so jnr.eh
real estate as would build suqh arpad,
would benetit thc entire State, although
it might interfere with some local inter
*?sK Ilene; the conclusion is that thc
Legislature could be induced to release
from taxation said lands for a. period pl
five years ; or say the State shall con
tribute thus much to the building of the
road. '
I havo, fellow-citizens, attempted to
make this communication as short as
possible. It contains no complication.'
Thc ma?t?r is plain and' easy to bo seen
by all men Then lei us talk l t over "arid
canvass it, and when we- have done so,
let us appoint meetings in Aiken, at Pine
House, at Edgell eld 0. H., at Pleasant
Lane, at Trnpp's Mills or Lake's Store;
. at Ninety Six, at Waterloo, and at Lan-1
. cns C. IL '
These meetings shall be held all on the
same day, so that wc shall have simul
taneous action. Boolui shall be opened
at each jibloo of meeting, and at cacb
?ilace of meeting an Agent shall be ap
pointed to tnu erse the line in his depart
ment to complete the subscription if
needs be. , . >
Then, fellow-citizens, let us go to work,
immediately, andput jrito operation the.
only praclicaule.plan of building a road
for us, and'thus make ourselves a thri
ving and prosperous people.
I traveled the route from Laurens C.
H. via Ninety-six, on thc 15th and 16th
inst*., and I believe from my observation
that (lier? is not au easier run te on which
to build a road in the Slate, and thc line
is j?st Tu* miles.
I respectfully f-ubnut these views to
your careful i-r-nsideralion.

This gives to each ' bankrupt, iii fins
