Brief Mentions. The rumor is confirmed that the assets of Henry Clews will not yield the creditors more thait twenty-five cents on the dollar. The Baltimore Sun says Gov. Chamberlain is on the right track, and if he steadily persists in the course marked out his administration may prove a blessing to South Carolina. It is reported that by the fire at the Western Hotel, Sacramento, January 12, twenty men were suffocated in their rooms, and that the firemen and police wete searching for -heir bodies. We learn, says the Abbeville Press & Banner, that Trial dustice Hughes, on Saturday last, performed the mar riage ceremony between Col. F. Brice Houston. white, and Carrie Davis, colored. The New York Herald of Monday, speaking of Southern State bonds in that market, says: "South Carolinas, under the new administration, are actively dealt in by private parties, and a better uadertone exists." The largest in-door meeting eyer held, was held at Albany on the 14th, to express indignation about Louisiana. Indignant utterances of orators were wildly applauded. The resolutions were emphatically denunciatory, and adopted by acclamation. A white man was sold at public auction in Petersburg, Va., the other day, because he had no visible means of support. If the poor wretch had been a negro, the northern heart would have been fired clear to the top of Mount Washington. The pews in Plymouth church sold on Tuesday for $60,000, against 858, 000 last year. Whatever and who ever else it may have damaged, the great scandal has not "beared" Ply mouth church stock in the market of New York and Brooklyn. It is to the inteiest of missionary societies to diffuse the statement of M. Moca, a French savant, that "the flesh of the Caucasian is bitter and salty, while that of a negro is of a finer flavor, and will keep much Ion ger. The time last appointed for the Mil lerites to ascend came and went the other day, and again the show was postponed. We can see no chance for these poor fellows to "go up" un less they can each be persuaded to go to Arkansas and steal a horse. A snow slide occurred near Alta. City, Utah, January 11th, bury ing two persons to the depth of thirty feet, and four teams, which were engaged in carting ore. No particu lars as yet have been receivd, but it is feared that five mta have been kill ed. The Administration organs are very anxious that Congress shall order a new election in Louisiana, and thus lift President Grant ont of his trouble. They are already weary of defending Sheridan's bulletins, especially since it is so evident that the more the peo pie think of them the madder they get. Gov. Chamberlain, on the 14th, says the News & Courier, signed the bill to abolish the Inferior Court of Charleston, which is now a law. Des perate efforts were made to induce Gov. Chamberlain to veto the bill; but they failed, and Charleston breathes more freely. One more stride towards security and rest has successfully been made ! The refunding of the cotton tax, re ferred at the commencement of this session of Congress to the Committee of Ways and Means,bhas been referred by that committee to a sub-committee, consisting of Fernando Wood. Shel don, of Louisiana, and 3Mason, of Iowa. Mr. Wood will have charge of the subject. The Courier-Journal says: "The Northern States may well look with concern, if not with alarm, at the action of the Radical returning board in New Orleans. If this spirit of fraud and oppression is allowed to grow, their time will come too, and all that they can expect is the promise of' Polyphemus to Ulysses, that lie would devour him the last. A female justice of Wyoming was married last week, and, true to her; professional training, she previously notified her friends to be present by a printed form, as follows : "I. am about to marry 3Mr. J-- D--, of this county, and he will be qualified and sworn in at my office on Wednes day morning next, at 10 A. 31. You are invited to attend." The New Orleans Tiwms: It now transpires that the Republicans, since the retirement of the Democrats, hay ing only fifty.one rmembers with cer tifientes. have admitted three members who occupied precisely the same posi tion as the five gentlemen who were ejected. The question arises, whyv don't the military again interpose and put those men out as they did the five D)emocrats ? Sheridan teleg- aphed on Friday to the War Department that he finds himself misrepresented in the North era papers, as their comments are1 telegraphed to New Orleans, and smarts under criticism. He says he was instructed to report the actual condition of affairs in the Sonth, and that he did so b'iefiy. If necessary lie! will send the names of 4.000 persons who have been murdered in the South since the close of the war, and that lie can readily give as nmany names of murderers unpunished. When the dispatch was read by the President lie said: "Peace shall be maintained in the South even it" it requires the econo myi of blood." BOSToN, January 15.-A mass meet ing in Faneuil Hall, to protest against military interference in Louisiana, was held to-day. About 3,000 were packed in the building. All parties, classes and conditions were represented. The meeting wans very orderly and great symnpathy 'was manifested in the object of the-eall, though oceasional dissents from the speakers betokened the pres ence of widely different political ele ments. Hon. Wmn. Gray made ana dress, denouncing,. the great outrages committed against the people of Louis iana in the recent act of Lnited States troops. It was the duty of the Gov ernument to entrust its power to clear sighted, cool-headed oficeers, and if such were not selected, the people had the right to hold the Chief Executive responsible. His remarks were fre quently cheered, and when alluding to Gen. Sheridan. hissed. Resolutions ex pressive of indignation at the course of the military in removing members of the Leo'isiature and severely de nouncing elknap for his telegam of approval. we~o vociferously applauded. L Hon. Alex. H. stephens on the Outrage Policy. Usually congress does but little in the first week of a session. It is not until after the holidays that the real work begins. This session, however the carpet-bag element of the republi can party outlined a policy toward the south before the recess to which many is indicative only of impotent malice, while to others it causes the gravest apprehensions. Among the latter, Ilon. Alexander H. Stephens, of Geor gia, is prominent. His long experience in public affairs, close study of events, and Keen intellect, which no infirmity of body seems to have power to inipair, certainly enable him to see clearly and 1 judge rightly in such mattters. Thus far he has seen no indication that the north will sustain the policy of pro-;i scription, oppression and hate inaugu rated by the carpet-baggers ; but he fears that it will. The bills intro duced in the house by White, of Ala. bama, and Whiteley,ofGeorgia, to legal ize repeating, and to place the entire control of elections in the south in the hands of federal officials, he regards as the initiatory steps in the pro grainme. and has little doubt but that they will be adopted as party measures. The democracy, he thinks, fail to ap preciate the magnitude of the danger. They laugh, he says, because they do not see how dangerous and how likely 1 to prevail is this plot for placing the south once more in fetters. Of course, it is in the power of the repub- 1 licals of the north and west to prevent the adoption of this carpet-bag policy, but will they do it? Mr. Stephens compares the present condition of the republican party to that of bees about to swarm-disorganized, buzzing to and fro; but while the democrats are beating on pans and kettles, they will settle on some twig, which may be represented by the southern out rage policy, and thea the organization will begin. Mr. Stephens sees brains in this southern outrage policy-the brains of desperate men nerved to do anything and everything to maintain their past supremacy. That the re publican party will adopt and narry out this policy is evidently his firm belief, and when opportunity offers, he will no doubt sound the note of warn ing to all who are opposed to tyranny and wrong, from his seat in the.house of representatives. The Indignant North. PENNSYLVANIA. HARRISBURC. PA., January 12. Denunciatory resolations regarding the proceedings in Louisiana were adopted by a strict party vote in the House of 108 to 82. NEW YORK. ALBANY. N. Y., January 12.-Gov. Tilden sent a special message to the Legislature to-day, calling attention to the Louisiana affair, and Senator Lord offered concurrent resolutions con demning all persons responsible for the interference with the Legislature. The resolutions were laid on the table on motion of Mr. Woodin, who said it would be wise to await the report of the Louisiana investigating committee. MASSAeHUSETTs. BOSTON, January 12.-The peti tion for the use of Fanuiel Hall for the Louisiana indignation meeting is headed by Charles Francis Adams, and among the signers are Mayor Cobb, Henry Lee, Win. Gray, Francis Parkhamn, Win. Perkins, J. Freeman Clark, Alex. H. Bullock, Theo. Ly man and Martin Brimmer. As this is the season when owiners of land are making contracts for the present year, we publish for general information the following extract from a recent act of the general assembly, and commend it to the special atten tion of all concerned : Section 1, Be it enacted, etc., That in all cases where land is rented, either for a share of the crop or for a stipulated sum in money, or for so much cotton, corn or other products of the soil, the land so rented shall be deemed and taken to be an advance for agricultural purposes and the land owner upon reducing the contract of letting to writing and recording the same. as provided in section 55, of chapter 120) of the revised statutes. shall have a lien on the crop which may be made during the year upon the land, in preference to all other liens existing or otherwise, to an amount not exceeding one-third of the entire crop so produced, to be applied to the satisfaction of the rents tipu lated to be paid. In all such cases the landlord shall have all the rights ac corded to persons advancing money and other supplies as provided in sees. 55 and 56 of the same chap., to the extent of one-fourth of the crop, as above stated: Provided, That the provisions of this act sha-ll not apply to contracts made and recorded prior to) the passage of this act. CAROLINA NATIONAL BANR.-At tihe annual meeting of the~ Stocklhold ers of the Carolina National Bank, of Columbia, S. C., held on Tuesday, January 1:2, 1875, the following named gentlemen were elected Direc tors to serve during the ensuing year : C'ol. L. D. Childs. Dr. J. W. Par ker, Capt. Richard O'Neale. Jr., Maj. C. D. Melton, (solicitor.) Captain John S. Wiley. Maj. J. B. Ezell, Colonel RI. M. Wallace, Dr. T. C. Me Mahon. At a m1eeting of the Directors, the same day, the following offieers were re-elected : Col. L. D. Childs, President ; Dr. J. W. Parker, Vice-President ; Capt:. C. J. Iredell, Cashier ; Mr. Willie Jones, Teller; Mr. -Johu Bell, Col lection Clerk:; Mr. John A. Metts, B ook-keeper. EA-rING AND SLEEPING.--t is a mistake to suppose that eating before sleeping is injurious. Not at all unfre quently does it happen that people are sleepless for want of food, and a little taken either when they first go y bed; or when they awake sleepless, will be generally found far more effica-1 ious, and, of course, infinitely less in jurious than any drug in the chemist's pharmnacopada. These are the physi sl remedies for sleeplessness which have the best recommendation. As ~or the moral ones, there is certainly igood deal more to be said. Perhaps :he most stringent of all rules is,8a Avoid anxiety." Chewing the bitter! mnd of a quarrel is a thousand fold nore injurious to repose.than swallow- e ag a whole teapotful of the very a ;reencst of ~rrecn tea. jii rhe Lien Law--Importaut Ru - lings. The Lancaster Ledger says: Up )n a motion to dissolve attachmen )n an agricultural lien in the case o T. R. Kirkpatrick vs. B. F. Ferguson pvhich came before his Honor Judg< r. T. Mackey, at the recent ti*w o he Court for this county, his lfouoi .uled as follows : "That it is esseutial to the validit f an agricultural lien that the ad -ances made should consist solely o uch supplies as are essential to th )rodu,-tioi of the crop. The advance )f such supplies, however, do not operat vithin theimselves as a lien, they musi ;e made pursuant to an agreement fix ng their value in money and suc Lgreement must be entered into ani ,ecorded before any of the stlpplie ere furnished. The reason of the aw in this respect is, that the lienet hould be guardedagainst his own in >rovidence by a fixed limit to his redit and the record will protect ithers against being imposed upon b3 secondary agreement. "A warrant to seize a crop cannol )e legally issued until the account foi upplies furnished is presented to th< )erson who receives the advances and )ayment refused. Such account inusl )e sworn to and attached to the affida it upon which the warrant to seizt he crop is issued. "All costs incident to the seizurt nd sale of the crop must be paid b3 he lienor, for the crop under the itatute is bound only for the amount Ldvanced, and not for the disburse cents in enforcing the lien. "The claim of laborers for service5 endered in the production of the crol s a preferred lien and must be paic >efore th- lien for advances is satis ied. The rent is next to the laborer. ien a preferred lien upon the crop. "The advances for supplies can on y bind the crops for the agricuhtura Fear in which they were made. The !aninot operate as a lien upon futur ,rops, The lien must rest solely upoi he crop and cannot bind work animal! md other property. A horse or mul sold for the purpose of producing - ,rop will operate as a lien upon th< rop, it being a supply within th< meaning of the Statute. "Contracts for the renting of Iant ,or the coming year will carry wit] ,hem a statutory lien on one-fourth o ,he crop, but if the contract to ren xprcssly so provides the rental wil be a lien upon one-third of the crop provided, that the contract be dul: recorded as in the case of advance nade. "The homestead exemption canno be plead to protect a crop against th enforcement of a lien for advance made to enable a party to produce th 3rop, but no mortgage or lien can b enforced against a crop raised on th homestead, except in the case abov stated. "If a crop produced on a tract c land, which together, with the build ings thereon, does not exceed on :housand dollars in value, no part ( the crop, however great its value,s subject to execution for debt." The Oream of the Question. Great stress is laid upon the mar ncr in which the Louisiana House Representatives was organized and 31 WViltz elected Speaker; but it is radical mistake to assume that th use of United States troops, in unseat ing five members of the Louisian Legislature, can be justified by provin that the members so driven out ha no right to the seats they were occupy ing. In truth, the legal or illegal charac ter of the Louisiana Legislature, or any of its members, or of any of it acts, is no reason, justification or es euse for Kellogg's use of the militar forces. The legislative hall wa: doubtless. in confusion. Even hadi become a scene of actual fighting an bloodshed, Kellogg would have ha< no constitutional right to use the Un: ted States troops as he did. The pc lice might have been used or the Stat militia; but he could not legally emz ploy the United States troops withou making a formal requisition on th President and obtaining the specia authority of the President. This h lid not do. But there was no blood shed or riot; there was nothing t, justify the intervention of any mili tary bo.dy. The trouble was purely: ~ivil one requiring only civil reme lies, and in the settlement of whici the use of soldiers, under any circum stances, would have been unwise an malicious. As a matter of fact, Kel logg had no authority to send Unite< States troops into the legislative chan ber, however pressing the emergene; might have been, and his net, there Fore, was unconstitutional, illegal an absolutely without excuse or justifica ~ion. Nor can Kellogg's conduct be justi ied by the alleged fact that certai Conservative members of the Legisla ture invited the troops to expel th 2rowd from the lobby and the Legis ative chamber. Kellogg must pro; that he made a formal requisition upoi Lhe President for military aid, an Lhat the President gave him specia authority to use the Uuited State :roops. That would relieve him an transfer the responsibility to the Presi lent, who has no power to authoriz the invasion of a legislative cham~be by the Army of the United States. [Veu-s & Courier.

The name of this native South Caro linian, who has for some years past made his home in Florida, has been o: mentioned for some time past in con I nection with the important office of 3 "Inspector of Phosphates." P Some fifteen days ago the colored tl population of Columbia held a meeting m at which they passed complimentary ti - resolutions to Col. Gibbes in this con- o nection and appointed a committee to urge his appointment upon the Gover- F nor. As Col. Gibbes is well qualified t for the position, this instance would v 1 afford the Governor an excellent oppor- L tunity to call to his assistance some of S M the Conservative element of the State. , 3 Few men carry more energy into busi- C ness than does Col. Gibbes. F t A Cheering .Message. s The message of Gov. Chamberlain on the re-assembling of the General 0 I 3 Assembly is just such a one as we were led to look for from him. It is indeed full of cheer, and the prospect f which opens for the future of our - State government is hopeful indeed. e The News & Courier says of it: Them message is warmly praised by a both Conservatives and Republicans in Columbia; and well it may be, for we can say of this message, what we could ~ not say of any previous message, that C it contains not a single recomnmenda- ~ tion which is not, in the main, wise, L a prudent and just. And tile tone of e the message is as hecathy as its policy I - is sound. Our Republican Governor tells the General Assembly, in plain .words, that, in South Carolina, the ~ - Constitution shall be the highest law, and.he places on record, before the . .people, the manly declaration that, swhenever the necessaries of any politi -cal party shall require him to disregard s V or abuse the public trusts, his alle-h ' giance to that party will cease. There is a world of cheer and comfort j in these words. There is reason for s -hopefulness and for confidence. And we say, once more, to Gov. Chamber- g e lain, that, so long as he maintains his h Spresent position-so long as he stands e on the high plane, of his inaugural 1 address and special message-the hon-e e est people of all classess will sustain2 -him and strengthen him, not as Con- d servatives or as Republicans, but as S citizens of South Carolina, having one -and the same interest in the present ~ 1 and future of the State Gen. A. c. Garlington. t The salutatory, which we copy from g - the Macon (Ga.) Messenge~r, announces y the interesting intelligence that ourt -distinguished ex-Newberrian, Gen. A. c C. Garlington has removed from At- t lanta to Macon, and has assumed the h2 -editorial control of the above named 2 paper. It is a role with which he is b -familiar, having occupied a similar one ein the days of the ancient regime. IIis salutatory has a pleasant ring i'n it, P 2 and one which his friends will recog-~ I nize with satisfaction. The press of 1Georgia has gained an honorable and b intelligent accession : a - "In assuming the position of asso ciate edit or of this paper, it may be r expected that 1 would observe the s custom of announcing a line of policy, ~ as to my share and resporeibility in its future conduct.

Te one Newberry College. ati The friends of this Institution will Dc be pleased to learn that it is in a high ly successful condition, and its roll of students largely increased this session. The Lutheran i Vitor alludes to the Colb.ge Library thus : "A week or two ago we had the artiication to state that the Faculty and soine of the students of' Newberi. neI Coll''e had organized and put in sue- nitt C.'ssful operation an Athenaum Asso- Prol iation ill connectionl with that Insti tation. IL now becoues our duty to inform our readers that the Library of j sur Coleg0, so long neg!eeted and Suiffered to renain in a confused state. r has recently been fitted up, the books I il cla1s1itwea :al A,roperlv nrranged0, and 1 vrything reduced to sy,stem1 and O order. We are indebted for this im p,rement, also, mainly to the exer.. tions o Prof. G. W. Holland. assisted I by some of our worthy and obliging students. Prof. Holland has now Art charge of the Library of the College, Aa havi ng beenm made L ibrarian byv the or Facult V. Um ler sui table regrulations.e the Library is r.pented at stated timesee he s'.utlents, who have now acess 1 0 the books in such a manner as to ' -ceure the t'reatest benefit to the stu nt 5. withouiit anyV ri.,k if Itosing the K I';t. .\ nunitr of volumes l->n:a'- I .to~ the Li brary are muissi ng from ti h 'sts. and' we would respectfully req1uest all persons who may have an 'tf these volumes. or any books be- di louging to thle College library, or to tie the Classical and Theological Libraries, TI to send them without delay to Prof.~ IIhlnd at this place. It is believed that some of these missing books may a.i, be found in and about Newberry. AU Friends, ptlease look them up andl let le them be restored to their proper places. We would be glad to receive dontions oa i of books, new or old. from any of our tity friende, for the Library." pre Liu --- .. ter, Gov. Chiamiberlain on Minority ti Representation and Registra- pho tion of Electors. age I c')iltommended to the considleration of me, the general assembly the question of en- m ating a law' app~lying the system of 1)1e voting, knowmn as "'eumulative voting," l otr "'minority representation," to the Ag electionsi of incorporatedl cities and the towns in the State. I do not feel pre- pr. pairedl to -do more than to recommnnend er:, that the system be tried on a small an] ~ele at pr'esent. -\s a matter of theory. the lte thitem pIromises the best results. th butI tinkour policy respecting it ' should be tentative at first. If its pIrae- ' tIc!al results are satisfactory when ap-: y lied:~ to our cities and towns. pub)lic sen- e iment will sustain its apldication to oth- i;ns tr elections. A bill introdutced by Sen- its :'er Cochr:. of A ndersron. is now b e- se fore the Senate. which embiraces the me: thatutre altmonlg its provisions, and!I comn- o mtead it to the favorable action of the for general .\csembly. In my inauuural address, I recomn nmendled that the provision of the state J con-titution whieb makes it the duty -- of the general assemb)ly "to provide,. irom time to time, for the registration of all elections" should he no longer disre gardled. I hiave observed the discussion wit which the recommendation has occa- oF I sioned, but I muu unable to feel the force (dir< of any. atrguments draw.n frotm consid- (o diratos of political policy, when op- nit nosed to a plain requirement of the eon-t titution. If it were demonstrable tha at paty' advantage would arise from the negleet of this requirement (of the co ttuton, it would not have a feaither' * ight in deterring ine from e::l-ryin irto effect the constitution which I havte -sworn to suptport. But itris idle to urge nat a registration of electors will help or hurt any party which relies upon iropler means to) sustain its supremacy. A registration of electors is an ob)vious y mnea:iure of jaistice. It will not prevent sit all election frauds. bmt it will go far to- ior wardhs that end and will tendl to give a n. * legc oCf confidence in the result of our Tj 'lec tons whic:h has sometines been alli w:tting. of t pra to The. re 11vie.s very signifi- on, antlv remarks in relation to the value andt imnportance of cotton factories :a The (7itr?,ed- &Snt;n,I savy the ~ r A-QIneta factory only cost the stick .4.rs 800,000. andi yet the comipany J las patid ou'. since the wir 81 ,-'0 , 000 - ai dividcnds; has spent a half n:illion dollars for machiinery and improve- Ti ments. and now has a property worth a million dollars.
