Book Notice.
Ei.siE MAdooN, or the old Still Ilouse ;
by Mrs. Emma D. Gage.
This is the title of a well written
book, which is intended to show the
evils of intemperance, and the direful
effects of a "St:ll House" upon the sur
rounding community. Scenes of drunken
nces quarrelling, murder and bloodshed,
follow each other in rapid succession.
The-beroic efforts of Elsie Magoon, the
younger, to stem the tide of evil and
save her young friends from the drunk
ard's dootin, are graphically related. We
do*not doubt that the pictures are true.
Could we read, as in an open book, all
tiiebottors wrought by one "StiU House,"
all the degradation, shaine and gief, we
would, without doubt, stand aghast- at
the terrible picture.
'Tticse horrors, the book under notice
- undertakes to present, and it does' its
work well. - The downward progress of
-Rieard Magoon, the~builder aid owner
of tb "Still House," until his excesses
culminate in murderous assaults upon his
family, and in a lingering disease which
birings himn to a premature grave, is well
and feelingly told.
We commend the book to the well.
wiabers of humanity, and especially to
our temperance friends.

Witaire pleased to add that the school
are:.estifully situated, in the
siShfue grounds, affording every
'psp@itysforealthful reer.ation.
* ~ T formr nuber we expressed the fear
m4te)qngass would take such action upon
ga* n.s .aemet mestges: as would ear
row the basis of our rlglis stiOl farther. That
magabee,n realised.- An Act explanatery
of heAct ofMarch 1867. passed both Houses
e1%vs that the military, commanders pos,~
uessed the powers which they claimed to the
ftiDest extent, but goes further.
st~ 'It declares the governments then ex
isthUi the rebel States as illegal and if con
?iel subject in all res~pects to the military
e6mmanders and to the pairamount authority
of Congress.
*2d1. It ignores the Pseaet entirely, and
subjects the acts of the District comman,
dersJo:he approval or disapproval of the
General of the Army (now General Grant.)
.3d. The power of the District command
ers to remove State offieers at will and ap
polnt others is clearly affrmed.
4th. The power is also given to the Ger,e"
ral of the army of' the United States to sus
peud, remove and appoint, State offiers.
5th. The Acts or the District Command
era i,n removing persons from onice and s%
painting otheud i their stead',are confirmed ;
and It is declared that it shall be the duty of
such comimanders to remove from offce as
a'oresaid all persons who are disloyal to the
.Government-of the. United States, or who
use their influence In any manner to hinder,
delay, prevent, or obstruct, the due and
--proper adminIstration of this Act, and the
. cts to which it is supplementary."
8. The Boards of Begistration are vested
with full powers to judge or the qualifications
of persona proposing to register their names
a voters, and not to allow the registration
ofany parson they may decide not to be
r qasified to vote; their action however to be
subject to the 'approval of' the District
counmanders; and no person Is to -be dis%
'quialiied as a-member of any board of regs,
ta*tlon by reason of race or color.
7. The true intent and meaning ofthecoath
prescribed 1n' the Supplementayr Act of
Marsb, 1867, is declare&ag other things
tit)e as f ollosh wit: that no person whro
ha.ee a,aiember of the Legislature of any
State, os who has held ay excutive or ja,
dieMa offie In any State, whether he has
taken an oath to support the Constitution
of the United States or not, and whether he
held such omce at the commencement of' the
rebellion, or had held It before, and who was
afterward's engaged In insurrection or rebel
lion against the United States, or giving aid
ibdcomftort to the enemies thereof, is en
titled to be registered or to vote, and the
wordi "executive or judicial offce in any
State," In said oath mentioned, shall be con
strued to include all civil offces created by
law for the administration of any general
law of a State, or for the administration of

tips Is extended, In- the discretion of' the
Distriet commanders, till the 1st October.
9. No persdn shall be entitled, to be regis
tered or to vote by reason of any executive
pairdon or amnesty.
o. aremehrs of h'xrdes of reistratian nn
State ofcers sppointrd by the District Cem.
manders are required to take the oath of of.
flee, known as the "iron clad."
11. The District commanders, members of
boards of registration, and persons acting
under them, shall not be bound in their ac
tion by any opinion of any civil officer of the
United States. Such are the main provisions
of this Act. The reader will readily perceive
that most of the points of construction
which it makes are In direct conflict with
the opinion of Attorney General Stanberry.
The Ac. was intended to destroy the force
and effect of that opinion, and at the same
time to remove the hand of the President
from any and all participation in the work
of reconstruction.
Henceforth our people should distinctly
understand, that the government they are
living under is purely military, and that
those who hold offices, known to our laws as
"civil offices," hold them at the will of the
District commanders, and are merely his
subordinate agents in carrying on the gov
ernment and administering the laws.
The effect of this legislation is alto to oust
the President of the United States from all
authority or jurisdiction in these States, ex%
cept in the appointment of federal civiL of
ficers. General Grant is now the President of
these States. He is our ruler except when
Congress intervenes. What an anamolons
condition of things! Now may it be asked
where is the ship of State drifting? Is it to
wards a haven of rest and pestce, or upon
fearful breakers? There is enough in the
signs of the times to fill every patriot's heart
with the worst forebodings. All history is a
lie, or these signs, these progressive -steps of
a power in the government which acknowl
edges no check or control,-no constitution
al barrier against its will, are but the terri
ble tread of revolution in its mighty, resist.
less march.
Letter from Gen. Sickles.
Gen. Sickles has .ddressed the following
letter to the lion. Lyman Trumbull, Chair
man Judiciary Committee, United States
Senate :
Cnt nr.ox, S. C., July 5, 1867.'
My DF,an. Sin: I have decided not to be
gin registration in this district until Con
gress dete: mines who shall be registered. .I
trust, therefore, that it will be the pleasure
of Congress to extend the time for the com
pletion of my registrativn, until-say, Octo
ber or November. If I proceed now, and
disregard the wishes of the President, my
action would be regarded as insuhordina
tion ; if I follow his intimations, many
would probably be registered not eligible
according to the true intet pretation of the
Acts of Congress.
If it is meant that all who have held any
ofiee-Federal, State or municipal-having
taken an oath of office to support th' Con
stitution of the United States, and after
wards engaged in rebellion, or given aid,
comfort, etc., arte disfranchised, this should
be expressly declared ;-therwise, if left to
cons: ruction, it may be held that no other of
fleers are included than those classes enu
merated in Article VI of the Constitution,
and that even as to these a full pardon re
moves the disqualifi-ation.
If it-is meant to exclude lawyers, they
should be expressly mentioned, or else de
scribed by some classifieation; as, for ex
ample, after the word "office," add "any
licensed calling or employment or pro'fes
sion." Otherwise, if the eligibility of law
yers be Ieft to construction, it ma y be held
that a la wyer is not a public offcer, although
a functionary of a court or. other judicial
body.
The tiuth is, we have .now in operation
two distinct systems of reconstruction, orig
inated by Congress, and engrafted upon
the Frasidenat's plan of reconstruction. The
first Congressional plan is expressed in the
Howard constitutional amendment, leaving
suifrage to. be regulated by the several
States, and imposing upon cet::in elasses of
persons .disqiualification fer office, as a putt
ishmexet for rebellion and as a safe-guard
for the future. That plan having beeni re
fused by the rebel States, Congress passed
the reconstruction Acts, which form a sec
ond scheme of reconstruct1on, -entirely dis
tinct in principle and plan from the former.
In the second plant, Congress assumes con
trol of the question of suffragi', which is ex
tended to all who can take a prescribed
oath, and alsp enforces the disqutalification
for office, which would haye Me~n the penad
and conservative-featur6 of the first plan.
Now, it seems to mec that the -true conserva
tive guarantee against reaction is in the ad
dition made to the loyal vote by the en
franchisement of the colored people. That
being done, the occasion for the disqutalifi
cation clause ceases. Hence the true solu
tion, I believe, is to declare, with universal
suffrage, a general amnesty-naming the
exceptions. A more liberal amt,esty is, in
my judgment, essential to the success of
the C;ongressional plan of reconstruction.
It will en!arge the range of popular choice
for the important juidicial, executive and
legislattive depa rt'aents of the State Govern
ments,,. otherwise inconveniently confined
to classes very few of whom are fit to hold
offi'e.
The people can surely be entrusted to
judge and select fronm those who took parr
in the rebellion, the men at once qualified
and sitncere in their adhesion to the new
order of things. Such men, being eligible
to oficee, will have motives to identify them
selves with reconstruction, and to support
the 'views of the majority. Now, more
than ever, men of ability andl experience in
publie business are needed for the State
governmetts in the South ; and it is truly
unfortunate that at such a moment nearly
all who know anything of public affairs,
and especially those who could fill judicial
'statious, are disfranchised. This exposes
the experiment of general suffrage to need
less hazards. *If the experiment fail, it is
most likely to fail from the inability of the
people to put in office those who could and
would assure success. It would hive been
advantageous, perhaps, to have rem ,ved
many disaffected persotns, especially judges,
aheriffs and magistrates, in the execution of
the sixth section of the Act of 2d March, if
competent successors could have been found
among those who are eligible -to office.
And I would regard tyy'possession now
of a wider fitld..oidhoice for civil officers,
as one of-the most effective instrumentali
ties in the execution of the military author
ity conferred upon District Comtmanders.
As it is, I find myself prevented, as will the
people by arnd by, from securing for the
public atrvice men of aptitude and charac
ter, whose repentance is as certain as the
devotion of the most consistant loyalist.
In truth, the zeal of some of the converts
out-runs the discretion of manty of the faith
fuL With reference to other pra.ctical sog.
gestions, it might be useful if Congress, by
one of its committees, interrogated the
commanding officers of the several Districts
upon the operation of the reconstruction
Acts, and the~further legislation required.
Very respectfu:ly,

FRECKLES.-At this season of the year,
many of our lady readers are annoyed
with freckles. They will thank us for a
simple way for removing them, which is
to take powdered salpetre and apply it to
the parts affected, with the finger moisted
and dipped into the powder. This is the
whole proceeding, and when properly
done and judiciously repeated, it will
remove all the freckles. -

Do You WANT GOOD SEED '-Anid of seve
ral of the best varieties too ? And of the
new crop, fresh, and warranted? See Dr.
Conins card ; he has just received a large
lot of all the favorite kinds.
ICE CREAx.-Ed. Young respectfully
gives notice that he will have delicious
cream-lemon, pine-apple, rose, vanilla and
other flavors ; also pound cake, pies, tarts,
&e, every day this-week, at Mr. A. M. Ri.
ser's Stand.
DIsTRIcT CouR.-This Court (Judge
Y. J. Pope, presiding,) commenced its
sitting on Monday last, and as the dock
et seemed pretty full, will perhaps con
tinue several days, if not the week. The
cases are principally indictments for lar
ceny and assault and battery. The at.
tendance is fair.
TornsFaus\r.-The - simple announce
ment that the young men of Newberry pro
pose giving a Tournament at the close of
College Barbecue, is all that we can say
just now, and will notice at another time.
There will alsobe given on the 1.5th a Fan
cy Dress Ball. Prepare for these entertain
ments.
A RARE CHANCE.-To a young man of
limited means, desirous of taking a course
of Lectures in Medicine and Surgery an
opportunity is now offered which will
prove to his advantage if availed of. The
scholarship offered for sale, as will be
s,en in advertisement, can be had at a
bargain if applied for soon.
STAMP YOUR PAPERS.-AS a matter of
public and general interest we would call
attention of parties, who may have for
gotten, to the important fact., that all
papers requiring stamps should be stamp
ed prior to the 1st of August, prox.
Otherwise they will be liable to the pen
alty or fine. Any party having interest
in such unstamped papers or instruments
of writing can affix the stamp.
TwINs.-Mathias-surnamed Miller the
indefatigable-has laid upon our table a
large, very large, rosy-red and well-formed
twin tomatto. The table, in attempting to
cut the pigeon wing last week, nearly
broke one of its legs, which owing to the
pressure, has not yet been. mended. Re
solved, therefore, that friends, having sack
samples of the large wheat crop of 67, will
wait until on and after Saturday next, the
20th inst., before they "rush ini," as the
table will be all right on that day.
B. T. Randolph. (colored) addressed
the~colored people at the Court Ifouse,
Monday hight last. Considering that

sentences were illogical, to us. Radical
ism and conservatism arc antipodes.
He spoke freely and quietly to a large
number of his people, and gave them
some advice about education, labor, hon'
esty, industry economy, voting, &c.
TOE L.DIF.s FArn.-We refer to card
in another column, which gives the pleas
ing announcement, that the ladies of the
Methodist Church propose giving a Fair
on the first Monday in October. Their
object is praise-worthy and will attract
the sympathies of a generous community,
the Church being sadly out of repair,
and no means within itself of effectin.
the necessary repairs, We think the
time set apart very opportune, the heat
of summer will then be over, and bubi
ness better then than at any other peri
od in the interval. We may be permit
ted to state that this Fair has been long
in contemplation, but owing to unavoid
able circumstances has been postponed
from time to time, until now it is deemed
necessary to fix a set time, and make the
announcement public.
if the lady managers will pardon, us,
we would suggest, that all persons, fiencd
ly disposed to this charity and work of
love, may contribute articles of Fancy
Needle work, or other character appro
priate for such an occasion, which we
have no doubt will be received and high
ly appreciated by the managers, whose
names will shortly be given.

A young lady bought a new basket in
St. Louis the other evening, for pic-nic
purposes. Before she left the store the

the basket, with a baby in it, was found
at the door of a respectable citizen, with

which she readily gave, and was dis

Young men on matrimonial tl'oughts

and practice accordingly :
'Fall in' love with some industrious

"Quick march" to her parents and ask
their consent. 'File right' with her to

assumed, and then perform them. 'Right

and never leave her to trail behind.
'Break ofi' staying out at night and

The following little story shows that
the telegraph will sometimes make mis
takes, and often of a very ludicrous
character :
It seems that a gentleman of Albany
telegraphed to some New York ladies, to
announce the advent of a lady who was
going to that city to complete1 er bridal
TROUsSEAU. The wires, by some hocus
pocus peculiar to electricity, delivered
the message as follows:
"Miss-goes down this evening to
complete her bridal TROWSERS."
It was cruel in the o.perators to credit
the expectant bi de with so early a de
sire for the emrblems of authority in the
wedded state. Still there could be no
zreat harm done by the insinuation, as
it is generally supposed that brides,
though they may not prepare the article
in advance, will eventually come into
possession of a pair of trowsers.
Miss Julia discourses eloquently and
her theme is a popular one. She 'says:

A Lawyer built him an office in the
form of a hexagon, or six square. The
novelty of the structure attracted the at
tention of some Irishmen who were-pass

the building very critically. The law
yer, somewhat disgusted at their curiosi

out and addressed them:
"What do you stand there for like a
pack of block heads, gazing at my office ;
do vou take it for a church ?".
"Faix," answered one of them, "I

TuAD. STEVENS ON CONFISCATION.- A
correspondent of the New York Herald
professes to have had a conversation with
Thad. Here is part of it:
Question-Do you still adhere to the
policy of confiscation ?
Mr. Stevens-I look on the leading
rebels of t,he South as great criminals,
who have not yet expatiated their
crimes. They have entailed upon the
loyal people, by their voluntary and
wicked acts, much sorrow and suffering
the loss of millions of treasure and hun
dreds of thousands of lives. They have
done this in the very worst cause that
could be conceived-in an attempt to
break up a noble, benificent and free
Government. They have waged upon
us a flagrantly unjust war. They de
serve to have imposed upon them the
heaviest penalties of war, now that they
are conquered. But as they are our
countrymen I would be merciful to them.
I would not take their lives, and I would
not beggar and oppress them. But if I
had my way, I would, at the very least,
impose upon the rich men of the ex-rebel
territory-those who have come out of
their wicked struggle with large wealth
a mild confiscation, sufficient to pay the
loyal men of the South all they have lost
by confiscation at the hands of the rebels,
and Northern men all the damages they
have suffered by rebel rai.Is and inva
sions. There are thirty or forty thous
and rich rebels in the conquered terri
tory, whose wealth would suffice to pay
these claims, and yet not leave them beg
gars. These classes of sufferers by the
war have no other means or hope of ob
taining repayment for their losses, and
it is but just that they should be repaid.-;

"HE SHoT ALL BUT ME "-IWVen Gene
ral Braxton Bragg commanded the army
of Tennesseee, one day, while on the
march, he suddenly came upon one of
the "ragged" butternut fraternity, who
was j t then busily engaged in plunder
ing aarden. The general drew up, and
in that clear, ringing voice, which once
heard on the field of battle is not readily
forgotten, called out "To what command
do you belong !" Butternut was caught ;
he recognized the general, and he knew
the man he had to deal with. Assuming
a green, gawky manner, he answered as
follows: "Mister, I did belong to Mr.
Bragg's company; but he shot all but
me !" This was a little too much, and
drawing his hat over his eyes and com
pressing his lips, the general rode on,
and let the last man of his "company"
live.
DEEP VS. SHALLOW PANS. -M. A. Rich
ardson, Esq., of Sherman, New York,
says:
"Whether more cream can be obtained
from deep or shallow pans is' an easy
matter to settle, without even an experi
ment. It takes time for cream to rise;
therefore it will rise in a shallow pan
sooner than in a deep one, and conse
quently, in warm weather, when milk
will thicken in a few hours, shallow pans
should be used, or the cream will be
caught in the thicked milk and the skim
mer won't find it. But in cooler weath
er, when, milk will remain thin 'long
enough for the cream to uise, deep pans
are preferred by sonme. Even then,
sweeter butter can be made from shallow
pans."
The Editor of an exchange, in making
an appeal to his subscribers wb'o are in
arrears, to pay up, says:
'We hope they will 'settle' without dle
lay. Not that we want the money-oh,
no ! Our ink is given to us, we steal
our paper, and we win our printer's wa
ges at seven up. So it costs us nothing
to carry on business. -Nevertheless, as
a matter of accommodation, and to ease
their consciences, we will take what they
owe us, if they will send it immediately.'
-Anothkr editor thus nudges his delin
quent subscribers: 'We don't want
'money desperately bad, but our creditors
do, and they no doubt owe you. If you
pay us, we'll pay them, an2 they'll pay
you.'
BIT BY A SnKIE.-The paragraph fol

may help somebody:
Last week, as a negro was p1. wing a

Skellie, he was bit on the foot by a rat tle
snake. On going to the house, and tell
ing his tale, a chicken was split open and
applied to the wound. While this was
being done, a bottle of whiskey was sent
for. In a short while, the chicken turned
green, and the feathers were ready to
drop off. It was then taken off, and
some red oak ponlt ices were applied. The
negroe's foot was much swollen, when
last seen, but he is now considered out
of danger.
A DELICATE RE.QUEST.-A fellow went
into the clerk's office the other day to
get a marriage certificate. After looking
at the instrument a while, he beckoned
the clerk aside. 'See here, mister,' said
he, confidentially-'can't you date the
thing back about two months?' The
clerk assu'-ed him that he could not.
'Well,' said he, I don't care anytbiug
about it myself but 'her folks rather in
sist upon it !'
Such has been the influx of invalids
into Florida that hotels cannot be built
and er.larged fast enough to accommo
