A Detroithnsband is in trouble for whipping s wife because the baby did not takgthe first-elass prize at a babi show. The Raleigh Ara; the Republican organ of the State, says in its last is sue: "The battle is over, the smoke and dust have cleared away, and we are beaten !" A Cemneter Association has been formed at Wakhalla, with the following offieers: Drf J. P. Smeltzer, president; J. H. Sligh --first vice-president; J. D. Verner, second vice-president; A. Brennecke, third vice-president; J. J. Norton, see^etary; S. P. Dendy, treas urer; C. F. Seeba, sexton. During a service in a Methodist church three mniies from Carlisle, Ky., a rough named Hamilton jumped up, cursed the service and flourished his pistol. Trustee Thomas Shaw, in tak ing Hamilton out, was shot by him through the head. The murderer was -en to jail and then removed to Lex ington to avoid lynching. The Newton (N C.) Vindicator says; A lad of seventeen summers woocd and won alassie of thirteen-years in Cleveland county last week, but the parents opposed the match. An elope :nent was agreed upon for Thursday but the young lady was struck by light n1ing on Wednesday evening, and the .irri-ap was postponded until the ful lowing Suday, when the happy cou. Ple streaked it for South Carolina and were made one. They deserve happi ues, and if he don't treat her well he ought to be struck with lightnind. A crss-eyed man cast a gloom over a Detroit street car last Wednesday, by asking ie of seven men and strangers, on the opposite seat. "If he had any 01eiug tobacco bandy?" First the straners looked at each other; then the seven hands went pocketwards; and obscrviug this motion. each of the seven supposed his neighbor the one spoken to, and the seven hands re turned empty.

The re.ults of the late elections in North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and other States are of a healthy and promising character. The day of mis rule seems to be shortening. The re ports from the old North State are that she has redeemed herself by a Democratic njority of from ten to twenty thousand. The Washingtou column of the Herald, to.day. contaus the following, dated the 9th instant Supervisor Perry, of North Carolina, arrived here this moruin. en route for .Nine, where he will spead a wLek. le says that the Civil Rights Bill is what killed the Republicau party in North Caroliua, and concedes a Denocratic i:j,rity of 10.000.

WAD)E FOWLER. We. the undersigned, concur in the bove statement. 1). PA R R. JAMES 11. ALEXANDER. "In a rec-eut newiorthy and very aborate paper on the proper mode of uilinttg houses so as to insure health. ead by Dr. IIaywardi be/ore the Liver ool Architec-tural Society, he e.nm rtes various conditious essent:i to b:t purpouse, the more itmportant of rbhich are a due exposure to fresh air d sunlight, positive freedoum from map. a la-rge cubic spatce for air, and biedant means fur the escape of foul d the admission of. fresh air. Dr. layward argues that it is esseniiil at the air should be warmed pr'e. ious to amissioum gud that vetntilam on is the great and mauin n@casity of ouse-building; that whatever be left ndoe this should be especially at. mded to. Ia regard to the tempera ire of the admitted air, he says tha~t -oomis are very often improperly -tructed and arranged, so that in ate: . ick occupant has to be in current of air passing between the orway and the fireplace-from 28 to degrees temperature-while that his body is nearly 100.

THE NEw POSTAL LAw.-Under!' the new postal law, which allows four pounds of iterchaudise to go through the inails fr thirty-two cents, the for warding of samples. instruments, &c., by mail has been largely increased. The highest postal rate for four pounds is z:bout as low as that of the express companies to near points, and touch lower than express rates to more dis tant parts of the coutry.-Phinix. )EATI.-After a long-protraeted and severe affliction of nearly six years, Mary Eugenia Crews, a little daughter of the editor of this paper.

To EDITOR OF IIERALD By request of County ComuIittee of Tax Payers' Uniou, we organized a Subordinate Unieu with title. -Pr,s perity 'Tax Payers' Union," and tl.e following geutlienIen as its officers: Presidei.t-P. E. W.e Vice.Presideut-P. W. Counts. Secretary -II. C. Moseley. Treasurer-L. S. Bowers. Executive Comml'ittee-L. B. Maf fett, W. T. McFall. B. L. Nouinick. Delegates to County Uniun--laj. 1P. E. Wise, H. C. Moseley. As yet there is not as much inter e.st manifested in this community as we would like to see. But the order is young, and we think when the people fully understand the object of the U tion they will unite with it. Our Unioii numbers 8.5, and we have a few accessions every meeting. We are very dry down here and the crops are not looking as well as they did a few weeks ago. M. FOR THE HERALD. Cou.rtr.,A Aug. 12, 74. MR. Enrrojx.-It is hot to-day in the supe.rlative degree. No air stirring, alnd not a cloud upon the face of the t sky. "Skceters," with their little h,u gles blowing airound, and glnats in abundance. If you will make due al lowances for these pests, we will pencil a few lines. We have to fight with one haind and write with the other, hence muist hec.g you to overlook all inaccura eies of thought and language. Wet have just returned from a short trip to . Newberry city and district. W~e werei highly pleased to see so nmanly imlprove' ments going on in the city, and such a fmue prospect for ai good crop ini tile country. There appears to be amuh larger :rea1 in corn thlis year th:mn in former years. It is certarinly the~ idear fr the far'mer, not that we wouldl ad-s vocate planting no cotton, bu!t plant enough corn. wheat, oats. peas. harley, &c., for sup)plies. and to meet home de mands, then the surplus area, plant in cotton. A few years experience will prove thait this IS tile idea for the South. It. is not the man that has the most ~ money in i s pocket on New Year's dayV that is the best off always, hut the man that has supplies in hlis barn for a: year'. I know there are arguments hoth for :nd augainst what I have touched t upon. We leave tlis farmer to debate them in his owvn mind. WhatL we want to speak about now is, the com~tplaint that there is no capital in the S.outh. And ~ there never will be so long as it is all sent out for "Londonl time-keepers," fl free raihvay tickets, recei pts for making o fortunes, prize candy boxes, five dollar t sewing machines, lottery tickets, hum- i bugs, nic-naes, nostrums, wooden nt negs and a host of other clap-traps and patent rat traps. We paiid a dollar for London time-keeper a few years ago. ) t is a wooden box, and that is about ll. We would not miss it faur if wet were to mry there have been five hun- v red sold in the State. That takes f 950, and a here is the benefit ? If every ent that has been spent in the State sine the war for just such foolishness I a we have mentioned, hadl been invest d in a Manufacturing Stock Company, t would beC suifficient to buOildl several large factories. Now, must we go on 0 n the de4tmetive way, in which we o ave gone, or mzua we psofit by past e eperience? If we are to profit, then h let us let these "tricks" and "dodges" t o get a fortune for fifty cents alone. The last one of thenm are "humbugs." sav the' dime-s and get a dollar, save the dollars and get enough of thiem to uy one share in a manufacturing comn- a pany ; after you get one share, then save a mough to get another and another. et 'his will bring prosperity, and that will f bring peace, and that will bring educa- d. ation, and that wvill bring wealth, and. here wvill end the complaint, -- There is We hgyp~ syitten briefly on such an b i4portant subjeot.

' FOR TnE IlErALD. ro the Voters of the Third Con gressional District of South Carolina. FELLOW-CITIZENS : I offer myself s a candidate for your votes in the lection which takes plaee in Noveli ler next, to select a member -.1' Coi - ,ress for this Congressioual District. Deplorable as is the condition of the tate, I think you will agree with me hat a State party organization dUes iot promise us relief. In the whole 'tate the Republican party is in a uia ority, although that majority is uu loubtedly enormously exaggerated. But, still. an organized party opposi ion brings the Republican party to he support of its candidates in every ?ortion of the State, and thus where ve are locally strong, we are not allow d simply to fight our own battles, but ire forced into conflict with the whole ;trength of the Republicau organiza ion. Worse still, in the present con litiou of national parties. a State party irganization is sure to be iisrepresen ed as being an opposition, not to the niquitous administration of the 1le )ublican party in South Carolina, but Ls an opposition to the republican par y of the Union, and especially to the Lduinistration of Gen. Graut, and he prejudices and power of the Fed ral Government are thus culisted gainst us. Now, I am perfectly afe in saying that. at present, to the cople of this State, Federal politics ire (Pbsolete. Their oueabsorbing, vital utercst is the hone t administration if the State Government. and they sk for power oily so far as events iave proved that power in the hands it the prpirty-holders and tax-payers f the State is absolutely necessary o secure such honest administration. Und thivy need repres.ntation in Nzshington, to be heard before the ongress of the Nation and by the ?resident, in order that the truth as ,o their condition and feelings should )e known; in order that the influ e:ice of the General Government shall lot be used agninst theu, in entire nisconcepion of their seutiment and heir purpose. This representation las been purposely and pei tinacious y denied us. Take your own Con. tresional District as an illustration. Whatever :nay be the strength o)f the Ielulican party in the whole State, >r in other portions of the State. lere certailnly they are not a uajority. Ihat there are soenw "Iepublicans, L dmiit--somte of them selected with ant reference to party' affiliatios m!ing Cruntniy ofhies and seaits in the egislature, and they have proved 1seful LInd faithful officers. This c'ou ition of thinirs was well kinown o the Republican Le&i.,l:ture, when ast winter it under:ook the re district. ng of the State. What did it do ? Ch Act of Congress, of 1862, requir ~d that each congressional District hould be composed of contiguous ter. itory." So when they had grouped ogether Oconee, Pickzeus, Anderson, abbeville, Laureu.s and Newberry, a which a rea.o:nble effort would ite secured the people such a repre etative as they really desired, they dded Rie!.l-and, whieb is not "coun iguous territory ;'' which toues the est 0f the. District at no one point. imply and only be-cause Rlichland was utirely in the h.a.ds of the Re~publican :rty. and experience had shown that ny number of Republiean votes could le mnanufactured to order in that unty to meet the reqluirements of a ontested election. This Conurression 1 District, has, therefore, for the ex ress purpose of excluding you from epeetativn, been constructed in alib-erate and fraudulent vinlation of le law of the land. 'If there were 1:0 ther issue, this is one which vou ugh t to make in vindicaition of the apremiest right which belonigs to free en. aind one in which you ean appeal ro the narrow and selfish tyranny f tile It-publican party of the State, ) the ju1stice and to the lawful author . of the I Reputblican p:arty of thte But there are other reason.s why ou should earne&tly endeavor to se ure for yourselves a fttting represen ~tion. The section of the State in hiehi we live and with which our rtunes are identified, is the only one which there is marked evidence of aterial improvement. We have a omogineeous population. the advan iges of our soil and elimate offer sure slow i ndlucemtents to immigration, ur population is increasing, and the pening of new channels of commiluui tion is fast bringing this uipeounutry, itherto s:u isoiated, into direct rIn ins withi outr nei ghtbors. West anad irthl. Old p::rty issues are fast dy ig out. Those which are sha;>ing iemselves in the future are financial id industrial questions, in whieh we. an almiost exclusively agricultural uutry-especially a ecunarry of small rmers-are directly interested, we not want as representatives political iventurers, foreign or native. We antutmenI owning our own soil, bound us by the ties of neighborhood and ood, who know us, our ways and our teresr.s. Believing this ; believing that no iig is to be gained by party organi tton and complicated issues ; believ gthat if an ything is to be accom shed, smie one ni siist i>egina ad ~ar tI-e burden of the contest, I come fore you, simply as one citizen ask .of his fellow-citizens their con-1 lence and support. The argument I ish to nke to you, I caunot make this shape without wearying yotu ~tince I will speak to you and say h L:T is ay 1s"fae to face, as -I soon as I can make my arranigelielits to Cuonaen.ce this canvass. III thc me:mtinl. I subuit niyelf to your e,nsideration. merely stating the thr< e flloving propositions as an outline of the' .rm:d I shall Occupy: 1:4. With the IRepublic:atn prty of t.l(e Uni-n I haI.ve no toversv. I '0 n It belong to it, but the issues up< n which we have differed. have drift(d oit of practical consideration. Our miSfortune has been that this great par tY, with its immense power and its heavy responsibility, never compre hended the true temper or the real con dition of the South, for the simple rea son that since the war the South has never been represented in the councils of the Nation. I think that the policy of reconstruction was harsh and unwise. I doubt if to-lay any thoughtful Repub liean thinks otherwise. But it is not surprising or unnatural that it should lave been so. At :LIV rate what has been done, has )e.n done. We have lived through it. What we have the right to ask of the Republican party to day is. that what we honestly are. that We shall be represented at Washington to be. If we have become Republicans. ten by all means let our representative he a Republican. If we have not, then let the Republican party of the Union CfIse to strenIgthen: theil hands of a fac tion inl the State which, for corript pur poses and by fraudulent icans, stifles the true voice of the State, betrays its true interests. and misrepresents its real sentiment. This State cannot be rTleemed from the hideous misrule under which it is perishing. except by the co-operation of the General Govern ment with those who represent really its property, its intelligence and its character. And these two powers will never understand each other until we have at Washington just such complete :d loinest representation as weare en tItled to in a fair election. And it is tie interest of the National Republican par' ty and of the whole country, no less than ours. that this should be secured. 2d. I haVe no war to make upon Gen. Grant's administration. I do not. knew Gen. Grant. I have rot been in Wash in-ton since he has been President. Bat I know this, that between von and the National policy of Gen. Grant, for eigni or doiestic, there is not a single issue to make you enemies. So absorb ed have we been in our own miserahle condition, that most of those issues have passed us entirely disregarded, and up on none of them is there room for more than an amicable and honest diflerence of puiblic opinion. [he dlihiculty be tween General Grant and yourselves is precisely the difliculty between the State and the National hepublican par ty.
