The Charleston Rl"'publican says: -The Columbia Pheuix says it is time to let he negro 'severely alone. and p)ut forth all energies to ,ectre white emigration. "How does that journal think that the barbaruus murder of the white imrmigrant. Powell, at Lau rens. wiil aiteet such of his former neighbors as might be inclined to -move to our State ? The very first step in our efforts for white im inigrants is to guarantee them full freedom of political opinion full freedom of speech and full freedom of the ballot-aud con plete protection in the exerci e of that freedom. Will the Pho(nix help Laurens to take that step? We sha; answer the ,Pn>:tjcan. We have no concealment to make of our views. They are the same in the Closet as in the fiehl. As u hsual the Republ n, as the sup porter of radicalism in South Carolina and the ready apologist tr all its outrages and extrava :an,:,'. does the white people of Laren:s and of South Carolina foul injustice in its remarks given above. In the first place, ?e know nothing of Powell, who was killed in the ut break at Laurens. But we do not understand that he wasan i unigrant." We have under utnde1 that he was brought from Ohio to be one of the constabulary in South Carolina. But whether an i;mmigrant or one of the State Pli:he, he fi in an affz ay, that oc enrr'd at Laurens Court House. 'he lives lost are a matter of re gret. But where does the respon s"ibilty rest ? We charge it upon those who hrought about that state of feeling, which accident caused to break forth in riot and tlol. We charge it upon the Ex eentive, who armed one race and tnied a:m> t the other raCe. W e c b:lr it. t'u-"ther. t,p'on the : tite. So': fr as tie \ite were r' li :.; .. th y went into I.w -: i -mmrovemen't, wh:ch wa aed upon the idea of couciliating the hi acks. And had the colorci pco p'e not been arraycd with arms tihals against the whites, and ad it not been for radical incen diary larangues. we believe that ro outbreak would have occurred at La-rens, and no lives would hiave been lost. This is our delib erate judgment. As for wite ,immistrants: Lauarens as well as a'd South Carolina do cor:dialy welcome them. and in spite of the systematie effort of such journais as the Charleston fly?;wnto cast odium upon the whites of.South Carolina, there is a nteed to white immigrants --full freedom of political opinion -full freedom of speech--full free dom of the ballot., and co~mpleCte protection in the exercise of that freedom." The only offse-t to this -is the case of the anti-radical ne Lro voter. Experience shows. ht lin many pl1aces in So ut h Caro lina, a negro voter votes against radicalism at the peril of his lif. We have this to say to the Re p icn:Laurens needs no help iromn the PAmwni. to take the step the RepaWi';ani speatks of. The immigrant will receive in Laurens the same reception accorded to himi elsewhere in the State. Ri u man life is as safe in South Caro tina as in any other State of the Union. It is only here as else where. The honest settler is wel come. But there is no love for the scheming demagogue, the po litical trickster, the vile incendi ary and the mid-mught pliotter. Turnng nw togeneral prmeci plea, we have this to say : In the - solution ef the serious questions and1 the vexed problemis pending in So uthl Carolin a. our c-onurse has breen consistent. We prefer and we adivoeste mioral ageucees and wve desire to see therse problems woke ut by peaceful means. buit We dar-e not advocate other than I ha 4dapproved methnods of nct ion. frient ut subjceted as our people have wuen. to the most ourgeu treat zn~t whl:.a eivmlzc-d commiitiI i eve:- been exposed, it is xietnthat the c-om COtiU be en:irelvpfrte rm to be deemed an unreasonabic thing that a public opinion should exi"t which, whilst it deplores vio ience. holds that something should be pardoned to the spirit of out raged feelings and violated rights. When South Carolina shall have just and impartial government when the era of public thieves and plunderers shall have passed away -when "scurvy politicians" shall cease to array the black man against the white, we shall proba bly have complete peace in this State. This is "the step" that the Re blian may wely help its party to take.-('olumbia painix. A0'oTu liLLTV.-On Tues day Mr. C. A. Cheatham Lad seve ral hogs stolen from planta tion, abont five miles from Edge field C. H. He reported the fact to Trial Justice Ramsay, who issued a war rant, authorizing a search for the stolen hogs on the plantation of 'r. W. A. Collett. The offiecr of the law, Mr. Cartledge, accompa nied by Mr. Harrison and Mr. Cheatham. found the pork in the house of some freedmen. He un dertook to arrest tbe freedmen. but they refused to be arrested. saying; "that the arresting of co! ored persons by white persoas had played out.-that they had every thing fixed as they desired it," &c. There were several freedmen. and all were armed with guns. Theo officer was forced to leave without making any arrest. The facts were reported to Sher if McDevitt, who dispatched a posse to make the arrests. When the of reer with his possc came up to make the arrests the freedmen again said that the Sheriff couid not arrest them, &c. They fired It the posse, a:d the fire was re turned, wounding three or four lre<hnen, one dangerously. The Tosse finding that at Ie...t thirty airmed freed ilmen were prosent, were agI i',r(ed' to retire Without ma king any arrest. The sheriff is determined to make the arrest., and we think that he should not only arrest those who stole the hogs, but eve rV person who resisted his deputy in the discharge of his duty. The freedmen sounded a bugle several times after the first resist ance, and it is believed that it was the signal for the a.ssemubling of the armed band which was pres erit wvhen the second attemplt to arrest the parties was mnade.

The spirit, on being questioned, re1 ed, through the mouth of the girl: "I was what y-ou call a bushwhacker, and wa killed by this girl's father. and, as T still feel a spirit of re venge against him, I have taken control of heor to further my de signs: I have nuoth ing againrst the girl, and intend to do her no har-m." A ppauren tly. the evil spirit went on to tell many things which had hppened between himself and thie tgirl's relatives, (all of which was true,) and finally told them that there was a letter on the way to them, giving information of the severe sickness of a little sister of the girl, whom be was using for his evil purpose. The letter al luded to arrived in a few days, contirming the truth of what hadt been foretold. The relatives off the girl, with whbom she was liv ing. thinking that the child might be insaxne, sent heir to a pr-ivate asylum in Alameda County a few days ago, and have learned that she is not disturbed any longer by the revengeful monister. The spirt had toid them before that he would leave the girl when she should be removed from her reIa tives, bu.t he would enter into somne other member of the family. A. day 0r so agro a letter was re eived from Missouri, statingr that the father- of the girl was afflicted in a mannter which exactly corres on:ds with the formner disorders of the child.

Brick Pomeroy, in his Democ'ra thug explains the paternity of th above popular interrogation. I answer to a correspondent, Pomn< roy says: Henry Ward Beecher is the at thor of the sentence, which ha become so popular. At the tim of tbe Cleveland Convention,i 1864. when John Cochran was b; ertain disaffected Republican nominated for the Presidene) Henry Ward Beecher, the authc of the phrase, "ft's most d-d hot, was at the Spaulding House, Biint hampton, N. Y. While thern waiting for the train to bear hir west, he became acquai,.ed with fes, gentlemen, among them a cor ductor of the Erie railroad, name C. 0. Graves, who was a stron Republican, - a great admirer< Beecher, and a member of t1 same church. To while away the time befoz the train which was to bear hit westward should arrive, it wt deemed best to seek a little qui. - indulging in the popular game o1 "seven up" or "old sledge." To this game Mr. Beecher made >- no objections, stating that he rt plyed all such games as checker e: back-ganimon, chess, euchre, :whiyt, etc., etc., at home wi.b hi, d family, and that he considered it d no harm to seek such amusement when traveling. or even to carry p with him a pack of cards ora e box of chessmeu, as he geuerally t- did. r Graves and Boocber were part e ners, the paiLy playing for the R lemonade. On a four-bauded game ,Graves and Beecher were stuck ; and "sawed" to see who should p. Pay for the lemonade. They played a single game to decide the matter. At last it stood, Buecher Ssix and Graves tive, with his deal. i- By accident or design Graves turn ed the jack of hearts' which put him six. It was theu a question of o who had the highest card to go out. Beecher looked at his baud, t found nothing in there of note, and he laid dawn the deuce on the a table with the remark; "I give youyour Jack; that puts us six apiece. Here is the deuce; . how's that for high ?" r The remark was so original, and 6- the joke so good, that every body 1. laughed, and Graves ordered in the a beverages. The story was told a first to one couductor and thou to e another along the liue of the road, and, at last ran over the country, o till now nearly every one uses that e as a slang phrase which has be a come as popular as "You bet," e or "Red hot," or "Shoo fly." b i Serious Political Row at Nor folk-Several Persons Wounded-One Man Kill ed. NoaRoLK, VA. Nov. 2.-A large l crowd of whites and blacks col icted before the City Hotel last tight, to hear political addresses from Hon. Geo. M. Robeson, See retary of the Yavy. Hon. Jas. H. Platt, member of Congress from this District, and caudidate for re election, tx-Governor Welles, of Virginia, Prof. Langston, of How ard University. Washington, and others. Ex-mayor Frank DeCor dy was elected Chairman. After Governor Wells and Secre i. tary Robeson had addressed the c rowd, and while Professor Lang.. -ston was speaking, the mneeting e was interrupted by a disturbance in the throng, which soon increas 'ed in violence and extent, until firearms were freely used, and sev a eral vollers from small arms were Sfired in rapid succession. At the t commencement of the firing the ,crowd broke into wild disorder, a scattering in every direction. SThe police attempfted to quell - the disturbance but, owing to their t small force, were unable to acconm a plish much.

How to Havo a Loving Wife.

Love your wife, be patient; re member that you are not perfect, but try to be; let whiskey, tobac co and vulgar company alone ; spend your evenings with your wife, and live a decent Christian life, and your wife will be loving and true-if you did not marry a thoughtless beauty, without seuse or worth ; if you did, who is to blame if you suffer the conse quencs? The folowing speech is attribu ted to a member of the Legisla turo of Pennsylvania: "I know wimum, Mr. Speaker; I say it in no disrespect. I know um, I have had a heap to do with um. Thoy're a useful class, and-and. yet, with the best of 'em you may have trou The Colored Cadet. The case of the colored cadet is happily disposed of without threat ening any very serious conse quences, either to the West Point Academy or to the general milita ry service. The charges were so clearly proved that the defendant was forced to an admission of the unmilitary offences alleged, but claimed, in a plea of justification or apology, that it was att.er all but "a little unpleasantness," an affray such as often occurs in the cadet corps, and not really deserv ing of the special importance which had been attached to it. The only point upon which there was conflicting testimony was that in relation to the blow which the colored cadet inflicted upon his white fellow-cadet with a dip per-whether it was the jagged end or the smooth bottom of the culinary utensil that had been used, and whether it was the side or the top of the head wbich re ceived the blow. The defendant admitted the bottom of' the dipper, but denied the top of the bead. The Court was not long in making up its verdict ; but, as the decision goes through the War Depart ment to the President for approval or otherwise, it will be some time, lingering weeks perhaps, before the public anxiety is relieved as to the final result. The fact is, that poor Smith, seems to have a bard time among his white brethren, they not being very fond of the "man and bro ther." He will scarcely be able to remain at West Point, much longer, even if he gets out of the dipper scrape. A Prussian soldier, but just re turned from the front, was stand ing in the centre of a listening group, detailing to an offcer his narrow escape from death by one of the chassepot bullets, lHe took out his wa'tch and showed it pierced through by the ball, which, hav ing thus expended its strength on the solid metal, inflicted but a slight wound on his breast. The people pressed around to get a look at Ithe watch, and one citizen, impul sively taking out his own gold 1time-keeper, put it into the hand of the astonished so!lier. saying : "Iere, take this one ! It is a good How Little Land Will Keep a Cow. A correspondent sends the fo! lowing admirable statement: I wish to give the result of an ex prirnment in soiling. On the 1st day of June last I commenced cutting clover for one cow con fLued in a yard inclused by a high tight board fence, with a stable attached in which she has been fad. She has had no feed but freshly cut clover from the 1st of June to tho 15th of October, and all taken from one-fourth of an acre of ground. She has averaged eightecu quarts of strained milk per day, from which my wife has made eight pounds of butter per week, during the four and a halti iouths. The cow is tive years old, and a cross of the Asr hire and Durham. She has given more milk. more butter, and of a better 1 quality, than she has ever.donc on pasture. On another fourth of an acre, iv mowing four times, I have secured two tous of good hay. Ou one-eighth of an acre I bave raised 15O bushels of sugar beets and e:ar rots, which with the two tous of hay will keep her handsomely through tho balance of the year. The labor of cutting clover for the cow is less than that of driving her three-fourths of a mile to pas ture; besides the manure saved is quite an item. In the dairy dis tricts, the usual estimate is four acres to the cow, on the bay and pasture system, whereas by soil ing and raising roots five-eighths of an acre isfound to be sufflcicut. I will state further, what I believe from nearly thirty years expe. rience in farming, that there is no crop so valuable for soiling as clo ver, no crop, so many pounds of which, and of equal value for milk and butter, can be produced from an acre of ground. Sweet corn is a good crop tor late feeding where clover will not grow, but not profitable for winter feeding. (Stock Jodurnal. DANoErS OP TUE SEA.-A pas senger who was saved from the steamer Continental-w r e c k e d last month, while plying bvtween San Francisco and Panama-gives the following in regard to the dan gers through which he passed: "While we were around the ves. sel, and during the whole time we wvere out, the sea was alive with sharks; their fine could be seen sticking up on all sides. This is probably the reason why those who were left on board the ship recfused to leave. When we ap proached the shore, the water was fairly black with sharks, and most of us became alarmed for fear that we might be capsized in beaching the boat, and lbe devoured by themi. The breakers ran very high. Ev er-y oar was manned, and, select ing a good place, we made through the surf for the beach. The bow of the boat grounded when a large wave receded, and ini a moment after a wave raised the stern end of the boat and turned it clear over. It fell bottom-side up and spilled us all out. Those of us who fell outside the gunwales turned the boat over and rescued the women and children. The water was only waist-deep, and we all succeeded in reaching shore in safety.

InI the course of hisre marks be said, aome believe it ,. Iiee.essary to go dowa inta the water and come up-out ofit, to,.t b aptized. But this he claimed -t. be a fallacy, for the preposition ""uito" of the Scriptures should be rendered differently; as it does not mean into at all timuus.
