Democratic Triumphs fr<:m Cal i furnia
tu Maine.
After the magnificent Democratic vic
tory in California three weeks ago, how
grateful a task is it to record Democratic
triumphs even in Maine-in cold, ice
bound, abolition, Radical Maine. The
elections took place in this State on Mon
day, the loth, and resulted ii. a very ma
terial reduction of the usually large Re
publican majo.ity. So much so that the
matter is a subject of sad and hitler con
templation by the Radical party through
out the Union. In Maine the Radicals
counted on a majority of 10.000. As it is,
the majority has leen reduced from 11,
397 (?asl year) to 4,500.
The next elections are "to take place in
Ohio and Iowa on the 12th of October,
r.^ln Ohio, all doubt as to the triumph of
? o:d Bill Allen seems to have vanished
Upon this subject the Louisville Jeffer
' t niau Democrot speaks thus decidedly :
Both parties in Ohio are doing all they
respectively can to make the canvass go
)ng forward in that State red bot. The
^Democratic State Executive Committee
Ia3 made over two hundred appointments
for publio meetings in September. Mean
while the counties are being thoroughly
canvassed from local centres. Allen and
Cary (luis are the ord'-r of tho day in
every township.
Thc Radicals arc equally as industrious.
But it is evident that they do not have
the popular ear, and the Democrats ar*
sun* to win by a rousing majority. We
have at no time entertained any doubt of
Allen's re-election. No matter what issue
was made on currency and banking, A!!--n
was sure pf his re-election, tho success de
pending upon other causes, which are al
together potential whether they aro spe
cificallv recognized in the canvass or not
T;.c people have been ol' a mind to trust
tile Democratic party ever since its recon
struction in 1ST''.
The Ohio Democrats are not distracted
by any dissension whatever, there being
no such conflict of opinion upon the cur
rency and money question as was at first
apparent to the casual observer. The
great body of the Ohio Democracy arc
agreed that there shall bc no more con
traction, and no scheme of preposterous
inhalion on the other hand. The canvass
"for two months ha3 uot developed any
thing to change our opinion of the rela
tions and discipline of the Ohio Democra
cy. Discussion is always sure to bring
the best men and the best opinions to the
iront, and so it has been m Ohio.
William Sinkfield.
On Thursday of last week a colored
man by the name of William Sinkfield
came up from Augusta to attend the
Court of Reference, now in session at
this place, for tho purpose of proving a
claim against tho County of Edgelield.
The claim presented was a small one
?S i and no doubt wasa just one, asclaims
go in theso day.s. Tho cream of Sink
flcld's little joke, however, is not yet.
Some days previous to the appearance of
Sinkfield, Paris Simkins had presented
a check, before tho Referee, for ?700, paya
ble to this same William Sinkfield with
his name-"William Sinkfield" written
across the back, purporting to have been
issued for repairing tho Court House and
Jail, and dated 1st Aug., 1671. Tho ?34
Oh eek presented by Winkfield in person
was also for balance due on repairing
Court House and Jail, and was dated 2tfth
July of tho same year. The attention of
Sinkfield was called to the fact that a
$700 check payable to himself had al
ready been presented ; ho at once
disclaimed any knowledge of ?ueh Check.
Paris Sim kins was immediately sent for,
tho check produced and shown to Sink
field, with his name written across the
back. Ji? at QU??C pronounced. it a cleav-i
Xorgery^ for says bo: I cannot write nov f
name, never saw that ?700 check before
in my life, and it never could have beer,
given to me, for John Wooley paid me I
on tho -Ovii July, 1S71, all that thc County j
owed me except ?84, and gave nie a check
for that amount, and thc ?700 is dated
five days after thc County had paid me
up in full, with thc exception of ?S4.
Paris Simkins now jumped up and
said: "I bought that check from J. H
Johnson."
Sinkfield, in au interview after leaving
t thc Court House, told us that when lie
wen: to Jame??F. Hading, Chairman
County Commi'siouers, who was to al
low and lix tue amount to be paid for
thc work on Court Kou.se and Jail, Hurl
ing said: "MUKO out a big account and
1 will allow it, and wo wi? divide."
Sink iiold says ho refused to do tins, but
subsequently, and after lie had received
his pay exceptio I, Sink field at starling's
sallcitalion agreed to give bini, Hading,
ail bid wardrobe lo get the ?\S4 check
cashed. Hading received thewradrobe,
"but, as you see," said Sinkfield, "I
still hold the ?S4 check, not cashed."
Sb.k field's last words to us were : " Bring
Hading up Jiore, and J will face him in
all I have said :"
Two more peculiar transactions, and
Ave sh.ail conclude.
On tho 9th August, 1SC9, a check for
?.100 was issued to A. S Wallace, once
Revenue Collector, now member of Gon
ersss from South Carolina, signed by
Fra?k Arnim, C C. C., which ran as fol
lows : " To Jehu Woolley, T. E. C. Pay
A. S. Wallace, or order, the -uni of ?-?O0,
provided the proseen ti??.' of Frank Ar
nim by the U. S. be withdrawn." And
across the back of tilts check tho follow
ing was written to the Treasurer: " Re
turn this check on accou:'; of thc proviso
therein contained."
On thc 2ist August, eleven days after
tho ?100 check was signed, a chock for
?3,500 was issued, payable to James F.
Hading, or order, signed: Frank Arnim
-reading as follows: "Pay James F*
Hading, or order, ?3,500, ?ov pitying press
ing claims against thc County." (Thc i till
ie?? aro ours.)
What is tho inference to be drawn from
theso two transactions? Let us guess
at it.
Arnim sent Wallace a check for ?100
to withdraw a certain prosecution against
him, Arnim, but this amount, we will
suppose,' was too small; and, besides,
- Wallace had no intention of presenting
a check which from thc "proviso therein
contained" might work his own ruin.
Heneo we will suppose he returned the
. check to Arnim, with presumably the
following endorsement: "I want the
money-negotiate .your own checks."
Signed, A. S. Wallace. Arnim accord
ingly issued the ?3,500 check described
above, payable to J. F. Hading, who ne
gotiated it, received the money therefor,
and Wallace was propitiated.

lace tho pressing claims.

The Blood of Joe Crews to be the
Seed of Radicalism.
Joe Crews died in Laurens on the loth
instant, of the wounds received a week
previous ; and the Radical party of the
Stale, led by' Gov. Chamberlain in his
proclamation, and by the Union-Herald
in its daily outpourings, are trying to make
his Hood tho ?oed of renewed Radicalism
-with all its infernal doctrines and Jo
ints. Tliey pretend lo believe that bis
death was purely the result of political
prejudice-but the times are somewhat
unpropitious for *ueh teachings, and thu
facts of the case do not bear out the Rad
ical assertions. Messrs. Washington and
Wa'ter Schell have been arrested for com
plicity m the shooting of Crews. These
are the brother and nephew >f Dr. Schell,
a highly respectable citizen of Lamins,
who was murdered some four or rive years
ago, and whose murder is believed by the
people of Laurens to have been instigafed
and planned by Joe Crews. And thus it
would seem-as every one believed at
first-that private, enmity rather than
political prejudice led to tho assassination
of Crews. This wretched old man sim
ply sowed thc wind and reaped the whirl
wind.
j2S3"" Wo have received a communica
tion from a Mr. W. Saul Johnson, an
Englishman, who is teaching a negro
school at Ridge Spring, to the effect that
his house had been secretly surrounded
by parties disguised as black men, as he
supposes, and violence threatened him
unless his school was discontinued. We
know nothir.^ abortt thc faute of this
case-it may lie that our correspondent 's
views are correct; but it is just as likely
that this threatened violence was a
scheme of some radical political aspirant
to re-awaken the prejudice of the blacks
against the whites in this County-a sort
?if bloody shirt programme. We had
thought that this focling of antagonism
-.va; dying out, and that tho Blacks were
:%L last convinced that tho white residents,
property owners and taxpayers, are their
best friends, as tuey are naturally and
necessarily. Any unlawful interference
with a peaceable, law abiding citizou is
certainly very much to be condemned,
and no ono could deprecate such mure
than ourselves.

The F.dselield Jail.
At the rc.juestoi'Coroner T. P. Carroll,
acting Sherill', a Committee of citizens,
c insisting of Messrs. M. Lebeschultz,
V. A. Sandlaud, U.R. Durisoe. IC. Keese,
Jesse Jones aud Richard Luudy, and
with E. Keeso as Chairman, inspoctcd
the County Jail to-day.
The Committee found the Jail in a de
lapidated condition. In the second storj*
of the buildiug, there are five prison
rooms, of which, only two eau be used
at all ; and both of these are insecure,
needing repairs about the door frames.
The doors to two of tho other rooms are
without locks. Tho fifth room in this
s orv is used asa place of deposit for
tho State mms. Tho door to this armor}'
.seems to be securely locked, and the
Committee was informed by the Sherill'
that thc key had been taken to Columbia
by Col. T. W. Parmele. Two of the
window frames in tho second story aro
loose from decay, and ought to bo repair
ed at once.
In the third story, there are four cells,
and only one ol' them is lit for uso-the
lock to" this, however, does not work
well, requiring too much time to unlock.
The door hinges to one of lue cells were
not fastened with screws, as in thu case
of the other rooms, and the butt of one
of those heavy hinges ha> been forced
out of its piaee and used by prisoners
fer tearingaway the thick ceiling beneath
a window, so that they might get at the
bricks, and thus easily pick a hole in the
wall ol' tho Ja:l and make their escape.
The remaining hinge maj' bo used in
like manner. Let these hinges be seem
ed by taps and screws. Nearly every
blind to the Jail windows is outot repair.
As the day has been rainy, the Commit
leo saw that the Jail leaks badly in one
place. Only one door to the lower story
eau lock, liven the Iron Gate in front
of the Jail is insecure-several of the
upright bars hoing loose aud easily ta
ken out of their places. Ona of the
abutments ir. the brick wall ia\rear of

that escaping prisoners may use the same
ai a ladder. Just at this point the bro
ken bottles have been removed from the
;.?o of the wall. Those holes should be
tUlcd with brick and the broken bettles
sho>.;'d bo replaced.
On Thursday last, about sun sot, Ras
Se;at-and Lang Goodwin, both accused
of murder, escaped throng!) an opening
io the brick wall of the Jail under a
wintlow in the third story. The com
mittee is unanimously (if the opinion
that if the County* Commissioners had
kept the Jail iu repair that those pris
oners would liave made their escape.
On Wednesday last, Benj. Snipes es
caped from prison by being allowed en
tirely too much liberty by Albert Jack
son, the jailer. In extenuation of Jack
son's fault, however, it is alleged by the
Sheriff that Dr. W. D. Jennings recom
mended that .Snipes should b'i allowed
t > take exercise on account of his health,
which is very precarious. Snipes had
been sentenced to nine months impris
onment for assault and battery, and sev
en mon bs of his term had already been
spent in prison.
In conclusion, tho committee holds
that it is the bounden duty of tho County
Commissioners to repair tho Jail without
delay, furnish the Sheriff with guard ; or
remove the prisoners to some secure
Prison.

A Card.
I have a few tffor/j? io say to the public
io regard to tho escupo of the prisoners
from the jail at this place, on Wednes
day evening and Thursday night of last
Wt':Ck.
It has boen said that I sent Benjamin '
Snipes (the prisoner who escaped on
Wednesday evening) to the public
pump for water ; that Ulis was gross neg
ligencooii my part, and was in effect
permitting him to escape. I deny that I
? vcr sent Snipes for water, and he never
went outside of tho Jail j'ard, except at
his late lamentable taking off, but T al
lowed him the privileges of thc jail yard
on account of his health, and by reason
of tho advice of the physician to tho jail,
Dr. W. D. Jennings, that " Snipes should
bo allowed to exercise himself.*' At the
limo Snipes left thc jail, I was necessa
rily absent, huntiug up something for
the prisoners to eat, the County Commis
".iouers having failed to supply provis
ions, and their orders for supplies being
held in such contempt by the merchants
that I bad to add my own personal re
sponsibility to got anything at all.
In conclusion, I offer tho reward of
$20 for tho apprehension and delivery to
mo of Benjamin Snipos, alive.
Snipes is supposed to have taken up
thc Creek as I failed to find his tracks,
although in connection with a confrere I
made a special and minuto search for
them.
Snipes has blue eyes, grey hair and
dark complexion ; and if any man says
1 let him go after a bucket of water, he
tells an infernal lie.

An Interesting Letter From London.
For the Advertiser.
TRAFALGAR SQUARE, LONDON, )
September 2, 1875. J
Dear Advertiser: According, to prom
ise, we hasten to send you a line from
the British Metropolis.
The Cunarder (Bothnia) on which wo
wore booked as a passenger, . sailed
promptly on the appointed day, from the
very docks, whence, over seventeen
years ago, we started upon our first Eu
ropean tour.
The evening was as chilly and foggy
as the opening chapter in Bleak House
indoed as inauspicious as possible.
Tho landing was packed with a douse
crowd bidding adieu to relatives and
friends.
As there wero no adieux fox us and
our trip-mission ono of business, we
were somewhat impatient at the pro
tracted farewell r-and willing at every
seeming delay to exclaim, vogue la
<ju I ere.
The Bothnia is said to bo the largest
and finest Steamer now on the high seas.
She is about two hundred feet in length,
which I think is the square of your town
park. At any rato she would almost
bridge tho irrepressible C-y with your
Masonic Hall. Our berth though point
ed out as midships was numbered 402, so
you can judge of tho great capacity of
the ''huge Cunarder."
The north-easter and a rolling sea soon
sent 'he land lubbers to their respective
berths-among others, your correspond
ent, who, during the night was as fully
purged of his bile, as was cvor Falevuiau
Mon-co in the spring season, though
from an entirely different cause.
However, the savory steam of lamb
iihops and coffee, together wi th tho fresh
ness of tho morning air, induct us to
repair lo the breakfast table-and as only
l few of the passengers had appeared,
ive bad ample tiine to inspect the im
mense t.alon a diner and to enquire for
mr place. After an inspection of a few
moments, we were gratified to hud that
ive were sandwiched (pardon the word)
between the Hon. George A. Trenholtn,
he Secretary of the lato Confederate
rreasury, and Dion Boucicault tho fa
nous author and actor-the very an
ipodes one of thc other, but neverthe
oss the two most distinguished persons
n the boat.
The Rev. Mr. Trappier, of St. Michaels,

Ihode Island bride, pretty and graceful,

So far our lot had fallen among green
)astures-an ex-Treasurer, a celebrated
leter and dramatist, a distinguished di
vine, from whom absolution could be
lad at the first penitentialpeccavi, and a
harming Rhode Island bride, with Mrs.
Dion Boucicault {nee, I thiuk, Agues
Robertson) by way of hors d'oeuvre.
It would be superflous to add that with
uch compagnons du voyage, and an unu
ual exemption from soa sickness, our
illotted space of ten days passed away
[Uito agreeably. Indeed within the ten
lays we not only reached Liverpool, but
bund ourself comfortably lodged on

On the morrow we repaired to the U.

To one of j'our correspondent's pi
fession, the Temple is the most Interes
jng place not only in England, but in ti
world.
The Temple-the Inn? of Cour! ai
the Inns of Chancery-truly said io 1
I " the noblest nurseries of humanity ar
liberty in the kingdom." Where indei
law and liberty were cradled and nurse
where Bacon, and Somers, and Man
field, and their illustrious successor
framed fashioned and perfected tho gre
principles of magna Charta, the glorioi
writ Of habeas corpus-in fact, tho in
perishable rights of man-those inesl
I mable writs of freedom that haye mat
old England so great aud glorious-r<
vered at homo and feared abroad-mal
ing liberty commensurate with Britts
soil, opening the dungeon of the cap ti v
and striking off tho manacles of tho t;
rant.
Those indeed are the names, and thes
tho measures, that aro " not born to dio.
They stand alone aud aloof on tho /acut
of the temple of liberty, whoro none ca
now stand beside them-before whoi
sovereigns and princes and warriors fad
into insigniiicauco-tho great, the gram
the glorious benefactors of mankind
the boast and glory of their native lan
-the pride and honor of the huma
race-and tho envy and admiration c
the civilized world
" The dead but sceptred sovereigns, wb
still rule
Our spirits from their urns."
Here indeed, nuder the roof of th
solid old Temple, is the glory of th
profession of law-(that now mud
abused profession) here the perfection o
equity, the true pride of every hones
heart, the real worth and the real intel
leet of the human head, the great sourci
and fountain of all the liberties inberitec
and enjoyed by tho Anglo Saxon raco.
Within its spacious court and sombri
aisle, beneath its oaken roof and Dori?
crypt, darkened by the sh'ide of trees
planted by Loni Bunn himself, th<
lowliest of that njble profession bows ir
humblest reverence.
But revenons a nos moutons-tine colos
sal Jennings estate, which, for several
years, has taxed tho ability of tho Tem
ple itself; and for tho investigation o
certain claims connected therewith, wt
have been sent, as you know, to London
The protracted litigation over this co
lossal estate, estimated variously from
60 to 80,000,000, has given rise to tho pro.
duction and examination of many wills,
administrations, births, deaths, burials
Ac., copies of which maybe had here,
within thc City, but not regarded as re
liable, owing io erasures, substitutions,
(fcc., made to suit the claims of tho divers
contestants-so that in order to get at
anything like authenticity, ono is forced
to go to the different towns and hamlets
whore thc departed Jenningses repos?,
and to inspect tho original epitaphs, wills
ifco.
For this purpose we have already been
to St. Martins, Birmingham, Nether
Whiteacre, Aston, Darleston and Acton,
aud will on to morrow lcavofor Walsall,
Harbourn, Vednesbury and other places.
These visits of inspection are quito la
borious and trying, but, at the same
time, are not devoid of interest, inas
much as during a round of such visits,
one'is enabled lo see much of thc coun
try, and country lifo, of England, which:
wo will not attempt to describe, but sim1
ply say that the fields, covered with
green enamel, and the hills with verdure
clad, and tho vales with clustering vine,
nt ir ii"- ?nest landscapes of Lorraine to_
Of Acton aud its castellated towers,
moat and grange, park and meadow, we
are vividly impressed ; an 1 as wo wan
dered over itsgrouuds, and looked overils
balls, we wondered if it wore within the
range of probability that our clients,
tho Jenningses and their connexions,
eould establish a claim to such seigneu
rial halls-and if your correspondent,
who had become a quasi contingent heir,
would ever own even tho cricket lawn
within its spacious gates. Well, this is
tho ago of wonders. Indeed within our
ow n State, all of tho extravaganza and'
fancy of the Arabian talus have been re
alized. Bootblacks and hodearriers have
become putout, grave and reverend
soigniors; ebony foot boys, gulla negroes,
mestizoes, quadroons and scullions have
actually become senators, judges and
law-makers; the blackest of tho sans
culottes have usurped high places; dusky
chambermaids, chop house cooks of tho
feminine gender, and plough girls, have
become Mesdames, wives of Congress?
mon, aud daughters of Justice, rolling
ic luxury, recliuiug in. coaches, and
living in quasi palaces !
And why should not we poor Confed
erate devils have our day too-chaque
chien a son lour.' We were once up, now
wo are sadly dawn ; and why should not
chance, will, or fatality sot us up again ?
If it should do so, wo will bo satisfied

The Doctors, Bill, Joe, Henry, &C, (I
believe half the family are M. D's.) could
bo easily accommodated with a hundred
tiin^s more than attaches to them, in tho
court yard of the family physician ; and
the irrepressible Blackwells might find
groat solace In the extended deer parks
and spacious billiard saloons. As for
Capt. Jas. T. we have made no selection
for him, as we knew ho would approve
none unless chosen by himself, even had
the selection been made by the " Dam
sel Comely, at tho gate of tho House
Beau ti ful"'told of in Ute Pilgrim's Prog

of his bile on the high seas, and bullied
by cabmen, and lleecod by landlords,
and cut by Joe Bull, and scowled at by

By the way. speaking of strange tilings
I was surprised at seeing an affidavit, ?it
Finsbury Circus, drawn by your towns
man John L. Addison, and sworn to and
signed by Musco Samuel.
Who would have imagined that John
L. and ?ofusco were figuring here in the
very heart of London ? Tho sight of that
affidavit produced in my mind mingled
sensations of pleasure and surprise. It
seemed so familiar and yot so queer. It
actually transported me to Beaver Dam
and Chovis' Creek, and I would have >
given thc best bottle of port at the Cafe
Anglia to shako tho honda that wrote
and signed it-lohn h., ono of my.broth
er Attorneys ; and my client, tho brave
old Musco* than whom nono braver ever
lived or died.
London covers an area ?it present of
122 square miles, and contains a popula
tion of nearly 4,0110,000. It ie'th? groat
exchange and commercial mart of the .
world, and tho vory focus of civilization.
We will not, however, givo rein to our
anglomania.
We have always revered the old land,'
her greatness and her grandeur, her past
and her present, her great heart and
grand intellect, ber solidity; her mercan
tile integrity, anil lier high and honors

And we are gratified fi say that bet?re

A Famous Medical Institution.
. From thc Chicago Times.
" The name of ijr. It. V. Pierce, ol
Buffalo, N. Y., has I become as familial
to the people all over the country a<

large medical sxpexienco, have brought
him into prominence and given him s
solid reputation. Tho Times, in the
present issue, presents a wholo-pag*

He has at Bufido a mammoth establish

their combined experience is brought to
bear on tho successful treatment of ob
stinate cases. The Doctor is a man of a
large medical experience, and his ex
tensive knowledge of materia medica
has been acknowledged by presentations
of degrees from two of the first Medical
Colleges in tho land."
If yon would patronize Medicines,
scientifically prepared by a.skilled Phy

Family Medicines. Goldeu Medical Dis

OBITUARY.
DIED, after a brief but painful illness?
little ALINE IOUISE, infant daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. ORLANDO SHEPPARD,
on tho 19th day of August, A. D. 1S75,
ageTl eleven months.
Nothing that tho fond and tender care
of devoted parents, that tho affectionate
kindness of numerous friends, that the
unremitting attention of medical skill,
could do or accomplish, could rob death
of his victory. For seven days and nights
she lingcrejl; at last, xvithout a groan, or
sigh, or gluHijii-ujshotv-a parting pang,
the spirit Crow her passed ; and they who
watched her nearest could not know the
very instant, till tho change that cast her
swoet face into shadow, dull and slow,
glazed o'er hot eyes.
" Great God ! how could thy vengeance
light
So bitterly on ono so bright?
How could tho hand that gavo such
charms,
Blast them again?"
" Sleep, little baby ! sleep !
Not in thy cradle bed,
Not on thy Mother's breast,
But with the quiet dead."
I > A FRIEND.
LITTLE ROBERT, son of Mr. A. B.
and Mrs. P. tl. DEAN, departed this life
on 10th July, 1875, being but little over
I years old. Thc delight of bis parents'
hearts and the roso bud of the family has
been transplanted to bloom in heaven.
" For those that God has left we plead,
The otlspring Thou hast given ;
Whore Khali we go in time of need
But to the God of Heaven."
