Some place it at $100,000, others as high as $300,000. To Judge Porter and Mr. Davidge, who are retained for the prosecution, they assign the comfortable fee of $25,000 each. Next comes the demands of the official stenographers, who have made verbatim reports of the proceedings and furnished the District Attorneys with fifteen copies every morning, for which they will expect $10,000 to $15,000. AfcJont two hundred witnesses have been summoned, and the witness fees will l>e very heavy, especially those of the the twenty-five experts called for the prosecution, who will receive not only the usual allowance and mileage, but the value they put upon* their services during the days, and even the weeks, which they have given to the case. Then there is the maintenance of the assassin, the pay of extra *bai? Jiiig, piiuuu'yuw iLiBuj umu iuoi' dentals. In the event of his conviction, which is generally expected, the expenses of execution must be added. The gossips may be extravagant in their figures, but it does look as if the miDix?aai expenses would reach a round hundred thousand dollars. And then some smart juror may sticky to it that Guiteau is crazy, in wh*u j event a new trial would incase j the bill. ^22 PENSION WNDEB. , /'in commenting ,v?bn the pension arrears law, ancfke probability that 1 at least two h^red and fifty million ] dollars will be required to carry it into.effcvt, the New York Times , (Rep-J says: "The extraordinary law ( whirh has thrown this enormous and | unnecessary burden on the people of | the country was not the work of one, ( / party, or one set of men. It was the , fruit of a common /oily, weakness ( and cowardice." ] Congress was Democratic when the ( bill was passed. The White House ( was in Republican hands. Members \ of both parties voted for and against the measure. It was then represented that the total amount required * would bo from ten to forty millions, j1 The bill was a trap for the Demo- j5 cratic party. The Republican man- j * agers of the bill believed that the 1 Democratic Congress would reject it, 1 and then the Republican party could * go before the people with an issue ] which would solidify the soldier vote 1 and give great effect to the howl ? against "Rebel Brigadiers" as mem- * bers of Congress. In pursuance of * this policy such a public sentiment was excited that had the Democratic c Congress rejected the measure it j c would have killed the party. So the \ i bill was passed by votes from each t party, and it met the approval of the c Republican and fraudulent President.! c Since then it has been found that the ; s probable expenditures under it were' s underestimated, and now the Repub- c lican party, which really forced its' a enactment by a skillful manipulation j i, of public sentiment, is outspoken in j r denunciation of it, and is endeavor- j ( ing to shirk the responsibility for it ii by such assertions as the above quoted d from the Times. p x \ \ X 7 ANOTBES STATE TICKET.

M. Manigault, Georgetown. From the above it will be seen that Hugh Wilson, Esq., of the Abbeville Press and Banner, has been nominated for Secretary of State. While have no serious objections to the whvle ticket, if we are not out of orde-. we rise to endorse Mr. Wilson's nomination. Through the various campaigns of this State all most agree ttat no class of citizens worked more faithfully and diligently for the success of the Democratic party than our craft, and we think it right and proper that we should have a representative era the State ticket Mr. Wilson is fully competent for the po^nffwe^frust lTwifTmeeV the hearty approval of the Convention when assembled for th& purpose of nominating State officials. Shall we always remain "only a printer?" EDITORIAL NOTES. The Yankee Gen. Steedman now says that Tecnmseh Sherman, the barn bnrner, never won a battle. Mr. Kimball, the Director General of the Atlanta Cotton Exposition, says that twenty-seven exhibitors are going to establish factories at that place. Dr. Felton, who aspfres to be the Mahone of Georgia, and who will be the leader of the Independents and Republicans in the coming campaign, as their candidate for Governor, will speak in Angnsta on the 31st. He has bat few supporters in that section, but they predict that they will by a vigorous campaign carry the State.

An open boat with 5 shipwrecked sailors was picked up last Friday off Cape Ann, Mass. The boat also contained 2 dead bodies. The survivors tell a terrible story of suffering from lold and lack of water.

In a speech before the Columbia Board of Trade, a few days ago, Stute Treasurer Richardson gave a most encouraging, account of the State finances. Among other things he stated the significant fact that be had recently received letters from large capitalists in the North, who also represent capitalists in Europe, offering to lend money to the State-/1* South Lv?r.v.iua at, -a less rate ot interest than six per cent. The President sent to the Senate last week a letter from the late Postmaster-General, m which he says that there fiave been imposed upon the PostoffiCe Department in the last four years not less than 13,000 bonds the sureties upon which were utterly worthless, aud were known by the parties who presented them to be worthless. A medical gentleman has offered Scoville $10,000 for Guiteau's body after the execution. Thdproposition was made known to Gcfitean, who thinks his carcass worth $^000, as it would require that sum, he sa^s, to pay his debts. pop Sim for . :i RHEUMATISM, Neuralgia, Sciatica, Lumbago, j Backache, Soreness of the Chest, i Gout, Quinsy, Sore Throat, Swellings and Sprains, Burns and Scalds, General Bodily Pain*.
