Brief Mentions. At Camden, Arkansas, on Saturda; last, a drunken man, named Bracy was shot three times by Mrs. Fellows the wife of the mayor of Camden, fo insulting her. The Ohio State temperance conven tion, which met in Columbus recent ly, adopted a memorial to the gener assembly for the passage of a "law dis qualifying habitual drunkards froD holding office, and for the removal o such persons now in office." A New Orleans letter states tha the city finances are in a deplorabli condition, and over four thousan< pieces of property have been sold du ring the past year for taxes. The rati of taxation has been enormous, h many. instannes as high as the valua tion.of the property. One gets a clear idea of the amouni of mischief so little an insect as th< grasshopper can accomplish, when h< reads from his ravages some fifteen o1 twenty thousand people are destitut< in 'Kansas. Zereafter at least ou West, the grasshopper will be spoker of with more respect. In Holland, horse-shoeing is don< in,a way very, comfortable for th< horse and convenient for the smith The horse stands in a stall, across th< end of which is fastened a bar. Th< hofse's leg is bent at the knee, the foot tied so the bar and the smith hav ing both hands at liberty the work i speedily finished. A remarkable marriage recently took place in British-India in th< presence of a large congregation. Th( bride had no arms, and the ring had to be placed on the third toe of hei left foot. . At the conclusion of th -marriage ceremony she signed th register, hoding the pen with her toes in a very decent "hand." A St. Louis woman separated from 'her husband, recently sent him a lona -list of propositions -upon his accept ance of which she would live witl 'him again. Womanlike, she indi cated the only real cause .of differenc< in a postscript as follows: "You mother m!st leave the house at once and forever." Since the inauguration 6f our new Governor $144,000 of the old bondt of the State havebeen exchanged for the new consolidated bonds. This is at the rate of 812,000 per day. Should exchanges continue at this rate be fore the' close of Mr. Chamberlain'4 term the State debt will be reduced to less than $6,000,000. (Union-Herald. -Within the past week we have heard of two more incendiary fires, On Sun day night, the 6th instant, Mr. Thos. WN. Blease, living in the Big Creel section, had his store house and stoci of goods entirely destroyed--entailing upon him a very heavy loss. An oul house containing corn, fodder and for age, belonging to Mr. Jesse Riddle has also been burned. [Edgefield Advertiser. Already we have tidings of th~ success of several of the scientific ex peditions to observe the transit of Ye nus, which took place on Tuesday Dispatches received from Cairo, Suez Thebes and Northern India repor fortu.nate results with the photograph ic apparatus; but~one station-Shang hai-cloud; weather obscured the sun's disc. News from the statiot south of equator will be awaited witi3 much interest, as upon the accuracy of their observations will depend th< final value of the whole. It is one o the commonplace wonders of our day that we receive so quickly any infor mation from these distant and widely separated points. REIUCE AS WE~IL As POSTPONE Til TAXES.-Mr. Cannon's resolution in structing the Committee of Ways an. Means to inquire into the expediency of so amending the tax law as to ex. tend the time of payment of taxes, and to collect them in two installments, i: a step in the right direction. The people will find it difficult to pay th4 tax at the time fixed, and it would b< some relief if the burden should bf both extended and divided. Bui another thing should be done. The tax shonld be lessened considerably. It is monstrously high, when we con. sider the condition of the people, and their ability to pay it. What need is there of such enormous taxes't. W< want only a simple, moderate and economical government. Mr. Cannon's resolution might be profitably amend ed so as to instruct the Ways ani Means Committee to consider th< proper. and necessary reduction o: taxes, and the curtailment and dimninu tion of salaries. This is the reforn required by the necessities of the peo * le. Curtail, economize, reduce. Th< * poor people, who can hardly ge bread, and who cannot educate theil children, demand that all officlals shal be put upon shorter commons. Luxu ries and extraivagance are insulting t< * these hard times.-Phenix. . ScysY SOUTH CLUEs.-SPECIAL NoTICE -CUr oF A. H.

The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam I ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in terests ol the people of this County and th( State. It circulates extensively. and as ai Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. For Terms, see first page. Publisher's Card. With the January number the paid up tern of many subscribers will expire, and we taki this occasion to remind them of the fact, an at the same time request a renewsl of sub scription. We would rather not discontinum the paper, but it is found by long experienc( that it is the best course to pursue, for il saves no little trouble, a great deal of morti fication, and much loss. We shall feel much gratified iF every subscriber will renew a. soon as notified, and not only send us theii subscr'ption, but prevail on some friend and neighbor, who is not a subscriber ,to becom: one. Every new name added to the sub, scription list encourages the publisher to re newed efforts to please, and if the list be largelyincreased,itwill enable him to make t'je paper the more inter& ting. Renew promptly, friend, and remember that the only ter..ns or which the paper is sent out is cash a ad. vance. Please bear in mind that we pay the post age a%fter January, and that hereafter this annoyance and expense is spared you. South Carolina Conference. The South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, convened in Greenville, on Wednesday last. Bishop Marvin pre sided. The opening services were sol emnly impressive. Court was ad. journed that the House might be oc cupied by Conferenee. We learn that the opening sermon was delivered by the Rev. E. J. Meynardie, D. D., in the Methodist Church, from the 18th verse of the twenty-first chapter of Paul to thA Corinthians, and notwith standing.the inclement weather which prevailed, the Church was crowded. Bishop Marvin it is Isaid has captiva ted the hearts of all. Conference adjourned on Monday night, and it is ruored that the Rev. Manning Brown and R,:. J. L. Shuford have both been removed, and the Rev. Franks appointed to the Station, and Rev. Thos. Herbert to the Circuit. While Mr. Brown is appointed Pre siding Elder of the Cokesbury Dis trict. _________ The Penn MIonthly. Among the monthlies found on our table this week, is one bearing the above title, edit-ed by Robert' Ellis Thompson, and published by the Penn Monthly Association, 506 Walnut St., Philadelphia. It differs altogether from other magazines, as it is devoted almost exclusively to Literature, Sci. -ence, Art and Politics, and instead of the light and frothy' reading so com mon, gives the "strong meat" which is relished by thoughtful and earnest readers. It is recognized as an author. ity on the subjects to which it is de. voted, and as such has the highest commendations from the Press. Pity that such a class of monthlies were not more widely dissemiaated. We take pleasure in recommending the Penn Monthly, and advise the reader who would have good, substantial read. ing, to address as above, with the subscription price, $3. Single copy, :30 cents. The Ne'v York Observer. This truly exe -llent paper has been regularly coming to us during the year, and has been as regularly read. It goes t.he round of the family, and l:e the best of the feast, it is reserved to the last, for comfortable and .quiet Sunday reading. It is the most com prehensive paper which we receive. land this is readily accounted for when the fact is known that its editorial corps is composed of men of large experience and information, and be sides has a large list of contributors on all subjects of interest. The weekly reports of the Fulton street prayei meetings in themselves are worth a great deal. Take the paper altogether we do not hesitate to pronounce it one -of the best family papers published. SIts terms are $3.13 per annum, in cluding postage, or two papers for 85.30. Address S. I. Prime & Co., New York Observer, 37 Park Row, Vick's Floral Guide. We acknowledge with pleasure the receipt of the first number of Mr. Jas. IVick's beautiful Floral Guide for 1875. It is elegantly gotten up, and the colored double Petunia-full page which adorns this number is charming. We look upon Vick's Guide as the handsomest and completest that is pub. lished, and advise a1 flower and vege table gardeners to send him 25 cents, the cost per year, and secure the four numbers. We notice in this number that Mr. Vick proposes a charity which is worthy of wide mention. The pceple of the West having suf fered greatly by the ravages of the grasshopper are now in great desti tution, and especially are they in need of seeds, and for this as well as to nrornire food. contributions are asked The Abbevill- Press & Banner, high toned, dignified and aged-being v in its twenty-second year-comes to i us this week in an enlarged form. The I inches added in columns gives it about t seven more columns of reading matter, a very considerable increase for these r times. We wish the Press & Banner I success, and congratulate it on the ability shown in this enlargement. The Laurens Rail Road. In the United States Circuit Court, in the matter of the Laurens Railroad, bankrupt, the order of Judge Bryan was confirmed, except in so far as it may be necessary to modify the same so as to extend the time for the com pletion of the railroad within six months, and that the purchaser pay to Joseph Crews, the petitioner, his pro portion of the purchase money, and that the petitioner pay the cost of the proceedings. From the above it will be under stood that the proprietorship is settled. It is not positive whether it is owned t by the G. & C. or the S. C. R. R., but it matters not. One thing is cer tain, -Uncle Joseph is out. And ano ther, that Col. Peake has been over the line, and having made his estimates, is ready to commence work as soon as -he can get the timber delivered to him ~at the points which he shall designate. t Col. Peake told us on Thursday last that he would commence almost im mediately, and that if he has no serious drawbacks in weather, that he will have communication between Laurens d and Newberry by the middle of June e next. As soon as he can get over the first trestle he will have a train fur nished him by President Magrath, of the S. C. Road, and after that the work will be plain sailing. Col. P. is an experienced railroad man, and we t] have no doubt he will be able to make good his promise. We take this oc. r casion to congratulate the people of Laurens and along the line of soon having a railroad, a desideratum long wished for. f t Legislative. The bill by Mr. Muller, from Lex- a ington, to shorten the session and re duce the pay of the members, pro- ( poses a session of not more than forty t days, at five dollars per day, and ten t cent mileage each way. If the session s goes over forty days, then the pay to 1 be not more than three dollars and a the mileage. r The synopsis of the following bills t now pending will be interesting : The bill in the house to provide for t specific appropriations of county funds a directs the county commissioners of r each county to meet on or before the i 15th of December of each year, and i after ascertaining the amount of mon- e ey to be collected from the general e county tax to make a specific appro priation specifying the amount to each of the several purposes named, viz: For support of the poor; for mainte nance and repair of public buildings and the proper furnishing thereof; for maintenance of roads and the con struction and repair of bridges; for the expenses of the Courts of Sessions t and Common Pleas; for the pay of jurors and witnesses; for the fees of a constables; for the fees of trial justices; for the fees of coroners; for the fees C and accounts of sheriffs; for the fees , of the solicitor ; for costs of advertis- ( ing and other printing ; for stationery t and other expenses necessarily inci dental to the administration of the county f'ands; for the pay of the coun- a ty commissioners and of their clerk. t This statement containing the amount C appropriated to each of these purposes ~ must be published once a week for four weeks, and a copy of it must be s furnished the county treasurer, who y is directed to open 'a separate account 1 with each appropriation. The bill in the Senate to regulate'( the keeping in repair of partition I fences separating and dividing adjoin- e ing fields, owned by different parties, shall be kept in repair, jointly, by the parties owning the lands separated, and divided thereby, and that wh~en e one of such parties shall refuse or neg- Vj leet to keep in repair his proportion i of such fences, the other party shall have the right, after giving ten days' e notice thereof, to cause the same to e be properly repaired, and recover the a proportional cost of the party -so re a fusing or neglecting, together with all damages that may occur by reason of such neglect or refusal, in any court e of competent jurisdiction.8 The bill to make the office of county C treasurer elective, provides that at the next general election, and at every ~ one thereafter, a county treasurer shall i be elected by the people of the several . counties to hold office for two years. A bill has also been reported favorablye from the House committee on county o offices, which provides that the county o treasurers shall be elected at the nextb general election, and shall dischargec the duties of county auditors. Ther compensation is fixed at five per cent. a on the first $2000; two per cent. on ti the next $50,000, and one per cent. on the balance of the taxes collected. h Official bond $5,000, payable to the os county, except in Charleston County, a the treasurer of which must ~rive bond I ~ A bill to repeal the act to establish n inferior court for the trial of crimi tal cases in the County of Charleston, I tas passed by a vote of seventy-six to en.

The grangers have opened a Plan ers' Union Agency in the city of Au- I ,usta. Fifty cents a bale is charged or selling cotton, and tweuty-five cents er month for storing. Produce is xed at two and a half per cent. The Abbeville Medium says that otton stealing is still going on, and here seems to be no relief, and that etween Abbeville and Lowndesville I a n down to the Savannah River, there re not less than fifteen stores that eal in cotton after night. The most destructive fire since the i rar occur-ed in Charleston on Tues ay last. About 3,000 bales of cot >n, stored in the Champion Cotton 'ress, were destroyed. Total loss on uildings, &c., $250,000. Insurance artial. Burglars are committing constant epredations in Columbia, and espe ially are poultry houses suffering. Iany an unfortunate will miss the i hristmas turkey. In New Orleans an attempt was iade on the 15th inst., to introduce ve or six colored girls, as pupils, into ie girls' upper high school, which ,sulted in the withdrawal of over fifty f the graduating class. This is the rst attempt that has been made to lace negroes in this school. Ten thousand people in the West ra part of Nebraska, are reduced to ,e verge of starvation. An appeal as been published in New York for id. r The bill introduced by Senator lochran, to provide for the incorpora ion of towns and villages, requires hat all elections of municipal officers ball be conducted under the Cumu itive system of voting. He is right nd should be sustained. Proportional Bpresentation should be given alike r r o Conservatives and Republicans. A Washington special dispatch to he Atlanta Constitution, says : It is C ow certain that no attempt will be p ,ade to pass the pending civil rights ill. A compromise measure, provid- 1 og for equal accommodations and fa ilities, but not calling for a mixture fraces will, it is thought, be passed. C The Fight at Vicksburg. r RIGIN OF THE TROUBLE-THE REALr FACTS OF THE CASE. The editor of the Vicksburg Herald f elegraphs to the New York Herald a n account of the circumstances which ad to the recent bloody encounter here. He says: s The difficulty here has been called riot, but that was a misnomer. It ~ ras an attack in three separate columns , y negroes upon the city. The cause c f this attack can be stated in a few I rords. For six months, Sheriff Peter t irosby, colored, has been exercising j he functions of the office without i aving gfven a legal bond. The I oard of county supervisors refused to 1~ rder him to give the regular bond, nd the time drew on to pay the coun y taxes, some $200,000. The chan- j ery clerk was without any bond what- I ver, and under an indictment for em 'ezzlement and forgery, as was his redecessor, Cardoso, the present State c uperintendent of education. Not- a rithstanding his indictments the sher- P if was notoriously packing juries, and hree weeks ago the county reod, ~ p learing evidence of the guilt of theo ficials, were stolen from the court- a loose. The taxpayers' association, omposed of the best citizens and pro ierty holders, held a meeting last - Vednesday, and in a body went .to he courthouse and demanded the re ignation of the sheriff, the chancery g Jerk, the treasurer and the coroner. r 'he sheriff only was found, and he re- C C igned. The sheriff then went to ackson to consult with Governor b t.mes. On his return on Saturday a ard appeared on the streets and was o jrculated throughout the county, igned by Crosby, calling on Republi ans, white and black, to come to his a id and sustain his position. Crosby ~ ublicly and through the papers de ied the card; yet on Sunday rumors ame that negroes were arming and athering at different points to march e n the city, but little credence was1 iven to the report then. On Mon- 3 ay, at five o'clock, the alarm was c iven that the negroes were approach- e aig from several directions. The p rhite citizens armed and organized b i companies. At nine o'clock a gen- s ral alarm was given, and a detach-. ient of citizen soldiery marched out; f Grove street, and near Point Look- i ut, just inside the city limits, met a|t ody of two hundred negroes. The m amimander of the citizens warned h< 2emu to disperse, when the negroes w splied, ''We have come for a fight, ad we are going have it."
