Chamberlain is on the right tr-ack, and It if he steadily persists in the course marked 6at 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 were -searching for their bodies. We learn, says the Abbeville Press & Banner, that Trial Justice 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 undertone exists." The largest in-door meeting ever 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 1 adopted by acclamation. A white man was sold at public auction in Petersburg, Va., the other day, because he had no visible means of spport. 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 t on Tuesday for $60,000, against 58, 000 last year. Whatever and who- t ever else it may have damaged, the a great scandal has not "beared" Ply mouth church stock in the market of New York and Brooklyn. It is to the interest of missionary societies to diffuse the statement of M. Moea, 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 lon 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 stdal a horse. A snow slide occurred near Alta City, Utah, January 11th, bary ing two persons ..o. the depth of thirty feet, and four teams, which were engaged in carting ore. No particu lars as yet have been received, but it is feared that five men have been kill ed. The Administration organs are very anxious that . Congress shall order a new. election in Louisiana, and thus1 lift President Grant ont of his trouble. They are already weary of defending Sheridan's bulletins, especially sine1 it is so evident that the more the peo pie think of them the madder they get. Goy. 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; but1 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, has been referred by that committee to a sub-committee, consisting of Fernando Wood, Shel de of. -Louisiana, and Mason, of Iowa.. Mr. Wood will have charge of the subject. The Conrier-Journal says: "The Northern States may well look with concern, if not with alarm, at the action -of the Radical returning board in New Orleanis. 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 P'olyphemius to Ulysses, that he would devour him the last. A female justieeof Wyoming was married last week, and, true to. her 1 professional training, she previously notified her friends to be present by a 1 printed form, as fol!3ws: "I am about to marryMr.J-D-, of] this county, and he will be. qualified and sworn in at my office on Wednes day morning next, at 10 A. M. You ' are invited to attend."] The New Orleans Times: It now transpires that the Republicans, since4 the retirement of the Democrats, hay ing only fifty-one members with cer ti5eates. have admitted three members who occ'upied precisely the same posi tion as the five gentlemen who were] ejected. The question arises, why 1 don't the military again interpose and1 put those men out as they did the five Democrats ? Sheridan telegraphed on Friday to1 the War Department that he finds himself misrepresented in the North ern papers, as their comments are, telegraphed to New Orleans, and1 smarts under criticism. He says he 1 was instructed to report the actual condition of affairs in the Sonth, and that he did so briefly. If necessary he4 will send the names of 4,000 persons who have been murdered in the South since the close of the war, and that he can readily give as many names of murderers unpunished. When the dispatch was rrad by the President he said: "Peace shall be maintained in the South even if it requires the econo my of blood."4 Bosvos, 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.

Alex. H. Stephens on the Outrage Policy. Usually congress does but little in he first week of a session. It is not mntil after the holidays that the real vork begins. This session, however, he carpet-bag element of the republi an party outlined a policy toward the outh before the reeess to which many s indicative only of impote:it malice, rhile to others it causes the gravest .pprehensions. Among the latter, Ion. Alexander H1. Stephens, of Geor ia, is prominent. His long experience n public affairs, close study of events, nd Ieen intellect, ihich no infirmity f body seems to have power to impair, ertaily enablehim to see clearly and udge rightly in such mattters. Thus ar he has seen no indication that the orth will sustain the policy of pro cription, oppression and hate inaugu ated by the carpet-baggers; but be bars that it will. The bills intro uced in the house by White, of Ala ama, and Whiteley,of Georgia, to legal ze repeating, and to place the entire ontroF of elections in the south in the ands of federal officials, he regards s the initiatory steps in the pro ramme, and has little doubt but that hey will be adopted as party measures. he democracy, he thinks, fail to ap >reciate the magnitude of the danger. hey laugh, he says, because they do kot see how dangerous and how likely o prevail is-this plot for placing the outh once more in fetters. Of ourse, it is in the powerof the repub icans of the north and west to prevent he adoption of this carpet-bag policy, >ut will they do it? Mr. Stephens oMpares the present condition of he republican party to that of bees bout to swarm-disorganized, buzzing o and fro; b.r while the democrats re beating on pans and kettles, they ill settle on some twig, which may >e represented by the southern out age policy, and then the organization ll. begin. Mr. Stephens sees brains n this southern outrage policy-the rains of desperate men nerved to do Lnything and everything to maintain heir past supremacy. That the re )ublican party will adopt and earry >ut this policy is evidently his firm elief, and when opportunity offers, he ill no doubt sound the note of warn ng to all who are opposed to tyranny mnd wrong, from his seat in the house >f representatives.

ALBANY, N. Y., January 12.-Gov. Eilden sent a special message to the ~egisatre to-day, calling attenti to he Louisiana affair, and Senator Lord ffered concurrent resolutions con lening all- persons responsible for he interference with the Legislature. IEhe resolutions were laid on the table an motion of Mr. Woodin, who said t would be wise to await the report of he Louisiana investigating committee. MASSACHUSETTS. BOSTON, January 12.-The peti ion for the use of Fanuiel Hall for he Louisiana indigrnation meeting is leaded by Charles Francis Adams, nd among the signers are Mayor Jobb, Henry Lee, Win. Gray, Francis arkhamn, Win. Perkins, J. Freeman 1ark, -Alex. H. Bullock, Theo. Ly-. nan and Martin Brimmer. As.this is the season when owners if land -are making contracts for the resent year, we publish for general formation the following extract from recent act of the general assembly, fd commend it to the special atten ion of all concerned: Section 1, Be it enacted, etc., That n all cases where land is rented, ~ither for a share of the crop or for a tipulated sum in money, or for so nuh cotton, corn or other products of he soil, the land so rented shall be leemed and taken to be an advance or agricultural purposes and the land wner upon reduemgi the contract of etting to writing and recording the ame, as provided in 'secition 55, of hapter 120 of the revised statutes, ;hall have a lien on the crop which nav be made during the year upon h land, in preference to all other lens existing or otherwise, to an mount not exceeding-one-third of the mtire crop so prodiuced, to be applied o the satisfaction of the rents tipu ated to be paid. In all such cases the andlord shall have all the rights ac ~orded to persons advancing money d other supplies as provided in sees. 5 and 56 of the same chap.. to the xtent of one-fourth of the crop, as Lbove stated: Provided, That the rovisions of this act shall not apply o contracts made and recorded prior o the passage of this act. CAROLINA NATIONAL BANK.--At he annual meeting of the Stockhold rs of the Carolina National Bank, of Jolumbia, S. C., held on Tuesday, Fanuary 12, 1875, the following iamed gentlwnen were elected Direc ;ors to serve during the ensuing year : Col. L. D. Childs, Dr. J. W. Par :er, Capt. Richard O'Neale, Jr., Maj. . D. Melton, (solicitor,) Captain Eohn S. Wiley, Maj. J. B. Ezell, Jolonel R. M. Wallace, Dr. T. C. Mc Mahon.

Iredell, Cashier; Mr. Willie ones, Teller; Mr. John Bell, CJol eetion Clerk; Mr. John A. Metts, 3ook-keeper. EATING AND SLEEPING.-It is a istake to suppose that eating before eping is injurious. Not at all unfre tuently does it happen that people re sleepless for want of food, and a ittle taken either when they first go o bed, or when they awake sleepless, vim be -m.erall fonde far more effica The Lies Law--Important Ru Ungs. The Lancaster Ledger says: Up on a motion to dissolve attachment on an agricultural lien in the case of J. R. Kirkpatrick vs. B. F. Ferguson, which came before his Honor Judge T. J. Mackey, at the recent term of the Court for this county, his Honor ruled as follows: "That it is essential to the validity of an agricultural lien that the ad vances made should consist solely of such supplies as are essential to the production of the crop. The advances of such supplies, however, do uot.operate within themselves as a lien, they must be made pursuant to an agreement fix ing their value in money and such agreement must be entered into and recorded before any of the supplies are furnished. The reason of the law in this respect is, that the lienee. should be guarded against his own im providence by a fixed limit to his credit and the record will protect others against being imposed upon by a secondary agreement. "A warrant to seize a crop cannot be legally issued until the account for supplies furnished is presented to the person who receives the advances and payment refused. Such account must be sworn to and attached to the affida vit upon which the warrant to seize the crop is issued. "All costs incident to the seizure and sale of the crop must be paid- by the lienor, for the crop under the Statute is bound only for the amount advanced, and not for the disburse ments in enforcing the lien. "The claim of laborers for services rendered in the production of the crop is a preferred lien and must be paid before the lien for advances is satis fied. The rent is next to the laborers lien a preferred lien upon the crop. "The advances for supplies can on ly bind the crops for the agricultural year in which they were made. They cannot operate as a lien upon future crops, The lien must rest solely upon the crop and cannot bind work animals and other property. A horse or mule sold for the purpose of producing a crop will operate as a lien upon the crop, it being a supply within the meaning of the Statute. "Contracts for the renting of land for the coming year will carry with them a statutory lien on one-fourth of the crop, but if the contract to rent expressly so provides the rental will be a lien upon one-third of the crop, provided, that the contract be duly recorded as in the case of advances made. "The homestead exemption cannot be plead to protect a crop against the enforcement of a lien for advances made to enable a party to produce the crop, but no mortgage or lien can be enforced against a crop raised on the homestead, except in the case above stated. "If a crop produced on a traet of land, which together, with the build ings thereon, does not exceed one thousand dollars in value, no part of the crop, however great its value, is subject to execution for debt." The cream or the Question. Great stress is laid upon the man ner in which the Louisiana House of Representatives was organized and Mr. Wiltz elected Speaker; but it is a radical mistake to assume that the use of United States troops, in unseat ing five members of the Louisiana Le~islature, can be justified by proving that the members so driven out had no right to the seats they were occupy ing. In truth, the legal or illegal charac ter of the Louisiana Legislature, or of any of its members, or of any of its acts, is no reason, justification or ex cuse for Kellogg's use of the military forces. The legislative hail was, doubtless, in confusion. Even had it become a scene of actual fighting and bloodshed, Kellogg would have had no constitutional right to use the Uni ted States troops as he did. The po lice might have been used or the State militia; but he could not legally em ploy the United. States troops without making a formal requisition on the President and obtaining the special authority of the President. This he did not do. But there was no blood shed'- or riot; there was nothing to justify the intervention of any mili tary body. Tbe trouble was purely a civil one requiring only civil reme dies, and in the settlement of which the use of soldiers,.under any circum stances, would have been unwise and malicious. As a matter of fact, Kel logg had no authority to send United States troops into the legislative cham ber, however pressing the emergency might have been, and his act, there fore, was unconstitutional, illegal and absolutely without excuse or justifica tion. Nor can Kellogg's conduct be justi fed by the alleged fact that certain Conservative members of the Legisla ture invited the troops to expel the crowd from the lobby and the Legis lative chamber. Kellogg must prove that he made a formal requisition upon the President for military aid, and that the President gave him special authority to use the United Statcs troops. That would relieve him and transfer the responsibility to the Presi dent, who has no power to authorize the invasion of a legislative chamber by the Army of the Uuited States. [News & Courier. NEW YORK, Jan. 13.--The Tribune has a lengthy special from Washington. giving an interview with a leading re publican congressmen, in which thie lat ter gives his views on the present polit ical situation. He looks upon the.Lou isiana usurpation as a staggering blow dealt the republican party by the presi dent, from which they can't recover in time to make a successful rally in 1876 Grant, he says, is too heavy a load to carry, and he can see no way but to throw Grant oft. He says the president is determined to provoke the South to resistance, if possible, and the republi can leaders lack courage to take a stand against him. Grant believes he could be re-elected, but thirty-seven states would repudiate him if noinated for the next president. Tb.e Ileraldi. TYOS. F. GRENEKER, EDITOR. NEWBERRY, S.-C. WEDNESDAY, JAN. 20, 1875. A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam ily News papr, devoted to the material in terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, anl as an Advertisin medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. gFor Terms, see frst page. The Carolina Spartan. With its last number, the Spartan entered upon its thirty-second volume. It is one of the oldest, bravest and best papers in the State. The Spar tan has our earnest wishes that its influence may grow with increasing years. Not Satisfied. The sub-committee sent to New Or leans to hunt up outrages in Louisiana failed to please the committee who sent them; they therefore propose to go themselves and get the kind of evidence needed. The sub-committee found that the action of the Kellogg zeturning board was illegal, and that the democrats were not guilty of any attempts to intimidate. Col. J. G. Gibbes. The name of this native South Caro linian, who has for some years past made his home in Florida, has been mentioned for some time past in con nection with the important office of "Inspector of Phosphates." Some fifteen days ago the colored population of Columbia held a meeting at which they passed complimentary resolutions to Col. Gibbes in this con nection and appointed a committee to urge his appointment upon the Gover nor. As Col. Gibbes is well qualified for the position, this instance would afford the Governor an excellent oppor tunity to-call to his assistance some of the Conservative element of the State. Few men carry more energy into busi ness than does Col. Gibbes.. A Cheering Message. The message of Gov. Chamnberlain on the .re-assembligg ofthGera Assembly isjs uha one as we were led to look for from- him. .It is indeed fall of cheer, and the prospect. which opens for -the. future of our State government is hopeful indeed. The News & Courier says of it : The message Is warmly praised by 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 it= contains not a single recommenda tion which is not, in the main, wise, prud,gnt and just. And the tone of the message is as healthy as its policy is sound. Our Republican Governor tells the Genieral Assembly, in plain words, that, in South Carolina, the Constitution shall be .the higbest law, and he places on record, before the people, the manly declaration that, whenever the necessaries of any politi cal party shall require him.to disregard or a1buse. the public trusts, his alle giance to that party will cease. There is a world of cheer and comfort in these words. There is reason for hopefulness and for confidence. And we say, once more,.to Gov. Chamber lain, that, so long as he maintains his present position-so.long as he stands. on the high plane of his inaugural address and special message-the hon est people of all classess will sustain him and strengthen him, not as Con servatives or as Republicans, but as citizens of South Carolina, having one and the same interest in the present and future of the State. Gen. A. C. Garlington. The salutatory, which we copy 'from the Macon (Ga.) Messenger, announces the interesting intelligence that our distinguished ex-Newberrian, Gen. A. C. Ghrlington has removed from At lanta to Macon, and has assumed the editorial control of the above named paper. It is a role with which he is familiar, having occupied a similar one in the days of the ancient regime. His salutatory has a pleasant ring in it, and one which his friends will recog nize with satisfaction. The press of Georgia has gained an honorable and intelligent accession : "In assuming the position of asso-I ciate editor of this paper, it may be expected that I would observe the custom of announcing a line of policy, as to my share and responsibility in its future conduct. This I propose to do in very few words. The political character of the }Messenger is well known, and it is hardly necessary for me to say that my connection with it will not work any change in its columns in that respect. I will-continue to advocate the great cardinal doctrines of the Jeffersonian Democracy, the principles which underlie American constitutional liberty, and are essential to the maintenance of our system of government. To the defence of these principles much of my life has been devoted, and from them I hope never to depart. Political partizanship that is not founded on principle does not commend itself to my judgment, and ill not elrive my pen. What I be The Legislature. I The General Assembly iet p6rsuant to adjournment on Tuesday lvst, and n satisfied with the holiday alrer dy had, 1( the body proceeded to work at once a without a further -adjdurnment, which ' heretofore has been its cistom. Thi t! business of the -session is not being p pushed, however, and the probability is fi that Mareh.will be reached ere adjourn- a ment. That the session vill be a long fi one-thirty days-hiving already.been p consumed-is very evident. We were inrch strick with the listlessness-f the- 1 Senate on Friday last. Senator had the floor and that was all, for no attention was paid to him; of the mem- tl bers present only one seemed to be lis- s tening, the rest were scribbling, read ing, talking and promenading up and i down the carpeted hall. Whether the tl subject was interesting or not we could not tell from the confusion of sounds 0 which prevailed. If this is the way d business progresses the session may y continue until April. Certificate grab- fi bers are in the field, the Blue Ridge r< Scrip is still on docket; Conversion tj bondholders are alive and kicking also. c As to the Bank of the State a bill has E been introduced in the Senate which s, seeks to remove its affairs from the s] courts and place them under the care ti and protection of the State. Among sl the matters of interest in the House is a bill by Representative Boston to au- n thorize and require the Commissioners of Newberry to levy and collect a toll a of 1 1-2 mills, -and other matters therein o mentioned. c Schi,ier's Journal. In a late number of the Penn s, J1onthly is an interesting review of o Schiller's Journal. The journal of the a great German dramatist is published t by his daughter and gives the details of the great and little events as well in his daily life, and embraces a period from 1795 to 1805. We make the following extracts from the above mentioned monthly, relating to domes tic affairs, illustrating Schiller's style t of living and expenditures: 1 I want: Tialers.

The author of the ~ E "Robbers" could not, in the days of that wonderful burst of genius, have f calmly sat down each day to record f the petty details of his wardrobe and r his table. The little volume in which a this all will be found is a real addition to "Schiller-Literature" in one way at least, for in it--"facta loquuntur." c "The death blow to the republican party" is what some of our democratic # friends call the recent affair in New ' Orleans.

Chamberlain on MYinority Representation and Registra tioni of' Electors.a I commended to the consideration of he general assembly the guestion of en-( cting a law applying taie system oft oting, known as "cumulative voting," r "minority representation," to the etions of incorporated cities and owns in the State. I do not feel pre >ared to do more than to recommend E hat the system be tried on a small a cale at pi-esent. As a matter of theory, be system promises the best results, ut I think our policy respecting it ~ hould be tentative at first. If its prac ical results are satisfactory when ap plied to our cities and towns, public sen iment will sustain its aplication to oth- t r elections. A bill introduced by Sen- i to Cochran, of Anderson, is now be- 3 yre the Senate, which embraces the r mature among its provisions, and I comn 1end it to the favorable action of the f< eneral Assembly. In my inaugural address, I recomn ended that the provision of the state onstitution which makes it the duty - f the general assembly "to provide, om time to time, for the registration of 1l elections" should be no longer disre arded. I have observed the discussion rich the recommendation has occa ioned, but I am unable to feel the force d f any arguments drawn from consid rations of p)olitical policy,- when op-d osed to a plain requirement of the con titution.

Prof. H. G.
