It is always better to pass a dozen
intended insults without recognition,
than to't9ke offence at a single unin
tentional neglect or reflection. Mis
understandings are fruitful of more
unkindly feeling in society than ever
result from deliberate ill-nature.

Sea shells have been found in the
Andes Mountains full fifteen thousand
feet above the sea. Humbolt picked
up some sea shells at that great height
on top of the Andes. The sea shells
were carried up with the mountains'
high and dry as they are to-day, and
the poor shell animals wondered at
the dreadful change, and sickened
and died in the bitter, dry mountain
air long, long ages ago.
It is contemplated to "introduce

Tweed is now subjected to regular
prison treatment, sleeping in a cell,
marching to his meals with the rest
of the prisoners, and only favored in
the amount and character of the work
required of him. Mrs. Tweed has
lately met with an accident which
cost her an eye. Her youngest son
exploded a percussion cap close to her
face. A piece of the metal strue
her eye; the wound was neglected,
suppuration set in, and the eye had to
be cut out to save the other.
Gov. Gaston, of Massachusetts, in
his message to the Legislature, saysi
The presence of armed force of Uni
ted States troops in a Legislature of a
State for the purpose of settling an
election contest between political par
ties is a matter of grave concern to all
the people of all the States, more es
peeially in a case where the possible
effect of such presence may be to sub
vert the popular will and impose upon a
people rulers whom they have not se
lected. I invite the immediate atten
tion of the Legislature to this subject.

that, in reference to F. J. Moses a
"nol. pros." was entered at the last

given to the grand jury against both
him and Humbert at this term. In

The Boston Globe thinks that the
manner in which some men economize
in these times reminds one of R. Wil
fer, the clerk who had a limited salary
and an unlimited family, whose ambi
tion to wear a new suit was never grati
fied. As Dickens says: "His black hat
was brown before he could afford a
coat, his pantaloons were white at the
seams and knees before he could buy
a pair of hoots, his boots had worn
out before he could treat himself to
new pantaloons, and by the time he
worked round to the hat again, that
shining modern article roofed in an
ancient ruin of various periods."
The Policy of Hate.
ITS EFFECT ON WHITES AND BLACKiS
IN THE SOUTH.
Gov. Smith. in hss message to the
Georgia Legislature, speaks as follows
of the, evil eff'et of the Radical policy
on the prospects of the South:
The chief obstacle in the way of
our advancement has arisen from the
course p'irsued by the par'ty in posses
sion of the Federal Government to
ward the Southern States. One of
the immediate results of this policy
has been the disorganization of our
labor, and the consequent large in
crease of idleness, vagrancy and crime.
It has been erreneously assumed that
the lately enfranchised class would
not receive just and proper treat
ment from the white people, and to
prevent this imaginary evil the mis
chievous and unconstitutional meas
ures known as the enforcement acts
have been resorted to. We are now
further threatened by still greater
evils, in the passage by Congress of
what is commionly designated as the
civil rights bill. Should this great
and unnecessary wrong be inflicted
upou us, I ha.zard nothing in saying
that it will be followed by the im
mediate overthrow of our public school
system, by the complete demoraliza
tion of our labor, by great injury to
our finances and to the holders of ouri
securities, and by further alienation
between the two elasses of our popula
tion. The unwisdom of the measure,
so far at least as the State of Georgia
is concerned, is shown by the fact
that the laws of this State already
guarantee precisely the same rights
to all the people, of whatever class,
condition or color. 'We have one law
for all-for the white man and the
colored mau--for freeman and freed
man. It is admitted that there are
distinetions among us, but they are1
such distinctions as obtain among all
peoples, under all governments, and
in all societies, and sueh as no govern
ment has heretofore undertaken to
has. it is still to the interest of the! r
latter that his rights siould be care
rully guarded, that his efficiency as a
laborer should be increased, and that
his general condition should be im
proved in all practicable ways.
The erowaing act in-this course of
usurpation and wrong is the attempt
to stifle, by the strong arm of military
power, the will of the people of Lonisi
ana. expressed at the receut election.
In popohrgovernments the untram
mieled exe-cise of the election fran
chise and .the purity of the ballot box
are at once the form and essence of
publi- Tibeity.~ The 'recent a#temptl I
to perveut the popular will -in Louisi
aua may well excite the gravest ap
prehensions. There would. indeed,
be little ground of hope for the per- p
petuity of our free institutions if such i
usurpation were met with public I
ap.:thy. Happily, however, it has e
produced the contrary effect. and pa
triotism finds encouragement in the
almost universal sentiment of condem
nation this grave wrong has evoked.
The change in public sentimeut in- 1
dicated by the recent elections also s
leads us to look for an early reforma
tion of the policy and practice of the
Federal Government towards t h e
Southern States. If the policy of irri
tation should be abandoned, the two c
races would soon establish such social
and business relations with each other
as their own peace, happiness and true
interest require. In other words, our
people culy ask that they be secured V
in the great right of local self-govern
Dient as itdonce existed in all the s
States of the Union, but which is en
joyed alone by the people of the North
ern States. If the governmen will
but give us home rule, a revenue ta-I
rif, an honest and economical adminis
tration, and a sound circulating me- r
dium, we shall not have long to wait
for the return of peace and prosperity
to all parts, of the country and among
all classes of the people.
The Fireedman's Bank.
SENATOR ROBERTSON STANDS SQUARE
LY BY THE DEFRAUDED DFPOSITORS. t
UN-ITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, January 12, 185-.
A. 0. Jones, Esq, Clerk of House
of Representatives : SIR-I have the
honor to acknowledge the receipt of
the "coneurrent resolution" of the
General Assembly of the State of
South Carolina, relative to the Freed
maa's Bank. I cordially concur in
the purposes of the resolution.
The theory announced in the organi
zation of the Freedman's Bank, by
the Congress of the United States,
that a place of safe deposit -was to be,
furnished, where our enfranchised fel
low-citizens could securely:i deposis
their earnings, was wise, and found a
cordial response in every philanthrop
ic heart.. It tended to eneourage
habits of laborious indsr and self
denial, so important under the circunm
stances, and gave the hope of progress
by material prosperity, which is the
true basis of all acdvancement. The
misapplication of the deposits in the
Freedman's Bank cannot, therefore,f
but be regarded a great national
calamity.
There can be no doubt but that
credit was given to the bank, and de
po.sits induced by. the impression gene- 1
rally existing that the Government of
the United States was a guarantor of
the institution. It is also notoriously
true that officials of the United States.
especially those engagred in the Freed
man's Bureau, did hold forth every en
couragement to depositors, and gave
out that the bank was a national in
stitution, anid under guaranty of the
general government. By these means:
maltitudes of our fellow-citizens weret
induced to deposit their scanty meanst
in the bank, often at the price of
great self-denial on their part and
the part of -their -families.
U'nder this state of things I consid
er that the national government is un
der a strong obligation to make good
to depostitors all deficiencies.
Holding these views, I will do
everything in my power to promote
such legislation as is necessary to meet
the purposes of the concurrent reso- 1
lution.4
Very respectfully,
T. J. ROBERTSON.
The Ne .v York Times editorially
says: "Whiether or not Goy. Chain-t
berlain can succeed in securing any
thing like retrenchment and reform in
South Carolina, he is making nume
rous efforts to do it. He has just sent
a now "special message'' to the State
Legislature, in which he speaks earn.
estly and, withal, manfully. He
makes an elaborate appeal to the legis
lators to keep appropriations within
the limits of the known revenue of I
the State-something~ which it appears g
exceedingly difficult for them to do- i
and recommends the election ofjustices
of the peace by the people; that a
proper registration of voters be under
taken; that competent teachers be se
cured to replace incompetent ones now
employed in the public schools, and '
that the "contingent fund" a veritable
sink of iniquity-be abolished. It ~
was only the other day that the mem
bers of the Legislature made this con
tingent fund the means of an elaboratea
"job." The Governor suggests the
adoption of the plan of cumulative
voting in mnunicipal elections, believing
that the practical working of minority I
representation in the State should a
have a fair trial. The message is a
very creditable one, and the thing 1
now to be desired of the Governor is a
firm voi e in denouncing roguery
wherever lie may see fresh cases of it,
and promptness in the punishment of
scoundrels. A mild and temporizing 4
policy will be of no avail, no matter 4
how mainy recommendations may be
issued."

The Edgeffeld Troubles.
The many conflicting reports pre
ailing in regard to the Edgefield
ifficulties during the past week are
ubstantially summed up as follows:
r-en. Butler's house was set on fire by
negro, who admits that he was paid
50 to commit the foul deed, by the
otorious Tennant. In the attempts
nade to arrest Tennant there was
hooting on both sides, and four colored
nen were mortally wounded. Intense
xeitement prevailed, and it was feared
hat a wide-spread scene of bloodshed
vould result from the-incendiary con
uct of the arch fiend who is respon
ible for all the trouble which has
hus far occurred.
There is but little doubt but that
he burning of Gen. Butler's house,
Yy wl-ich the lives of his wife and
bildren were endangered, was prompt
,d in retaliation for the action of the
ommittee in waiting upon the Gov
,rnor some time nince in regard to the
ilitia.
The latest is that Tennant and a
-umber of his company have been
~rrested.
An order issued for the arrest of
len. Butler, caused that gentlenian to
eliver himself up. A committee of
ix fr6n'the General Assembly -visited
Edgefield to investigate. :All is qui'et.
Legislative.
.The Governor has had another test
with the Assembly, this tinme in the
atter of appointments of trial justices
>r Chester. Among the list of nomi
ations sent in by him were the names
f several Conservatives. In the Senate,
owever, these names were laid over
.d all others confirmed. ~Whereupon
he Governor informed the body that
rhen he could not find an honest, capa
le republican, that he would appoint
ne from the opposite side, and that if
t was meant.to correct the abuses comn
>ained of -be must have their aid. He
ntimated further that he wo0u1A not
ubmit to ring dictation, and th&if the
ight was kept iipfle would refuse to
ppoint untifafter the adjournment of
he Legislature,. The consequence was
hat the nominations were alleconfirmed.
Eesolutins from the Governor of Vir
~inia, passed by the General Assembly
f that State, were presented on Satur
lay in relation to the military usurpa
ion of Louisiana, condemnatory of the
ourse pursued. The effect of these
esolutions was as might have been ex
eted. The Phexnix says that Whitte
nore cussed. The resolutions were ta
)led. A bill has been introduced re
uiring clerks of courts to record all
arriages that shall take place in their
espective counties.
The House bill to provide for the

ote, three Conservatives voting with
e Republicans.
A bill to prevent cotton factors from

he Freedman's Bank Swindle.
The report of the Freedman's
avings and Trust Company having
;ot into print, the public will at last
:now something about one of the most
*trocous frauds that has been as yet
erpetrated upon the colored people,
d by which two millions of dollars
f their hard earnings have been gob.
led up by a "ring of christian states
aen and adventurers."
The apparent assets of the bank are
;iven by the commnissioners at $2,693,
9520. The liabilities are $2,879,
31.78. The assets are made up of
hat are described as '-loans, real
~state and available" in the District of
olumbia,amounting to $1,556,266.20.
he other million and odd dollars
Lre made up of loans at the South
~rn branches, of which the commis
ioners say that not one-half can ever
e collected, of worthless securities and
Lepreciated real estate. It is proposed
hat the government shall buy the
ank building and adjoining real estate
n this city. which is estimated to be
6se': It is therefore no exaggera
ion toiay that .twenty per cent. a
be most is 'ill that the unfortunat
iepositorm can ever receive of thei
2,800;00. This stupendous jobber
is thc direct consequence of the dis
honesty-and disregard of law of' th
men who have managed the affairs o
lie bank, :many'of whom have bee
made famous already by their couuec
ion with the Freedman's Bureau, th
lisiri6t ring, and other organize<
zcheines of plunder.
The report shows that 72,000 con
iding freedmen4mve suffered by th
efunct institution. The amount dc
posited in Charleston was $255,34Z
id in Beaufort, $65,592.
The responsibility for these fraudu
leut operations, extending over near];
ten years. rests upon the shoulders -c
a great many persons-not only th
offieers of the 1ank, but members c
Congress who have assisted to shiel
the bank from investigation. In fac
nearly everybody who has ever bee
connected with the bank seems t
share in the culpable managemeni
But the only persons who can be pr<
ceeded against are the surviving off
cers of the bank who managed it
loans; and that these men should b
properly punished it is necessar
that a special act shall be passed. Th
board of commissioners having th
affairs of the bank in. charge seem t
be doing their duty faithfully, but i
is evident that a more thorough an
searching investigation, which seel
to find oit men, and not the lo
moneys of the poor freedmen, is necei
sary to determine how many scoundrel
shall go to prison.
The Future of Charleston.
The future of Charleston is thi
described by the Chicago -Times
January 10th:
CHICAGO AND CAARLESTON.
A new competitor for the grai
trade of the Northwest is about I
appear in an unexpected quarter.
Charlesto, South Carolino, has b
come reanimated, and will enter tl
lists as a rival of New York, Bostoi
Philadelphia, and Baltimore, offerin
a better home market than either f<
the grain and provisions of the sectic
of which Chicago is the centre, al
holding at least equal advantages. f<
commanding the export trade. Withi
two or three years Charleston will o
cupy the place' in public attentic
that Baltimore now holds, and ti
completion of the Chicago and Sout
Atlantic Railroad will be looked upc
as an event of importance equal
least tb that of the Baltimiore an
Ohio which has just been welcome
to this.eity.
In the dark days of the panic
1873, a meeting of railroad men
the Northwest and Southeast was he]
in this city to consider the project
building a trunk line to connect ti
two sections. Seven States-Illinoi
Indiana, Kentuck~y, Tennessee, Geo
gia, North Carolina, and South Car
lina-wdi-o represented. The confe
ence resulted in a determination1
forwavd the enterprise with all possib
dispatch, and was followed by anothi
-convention held two months lateri
Charleston, under the auspices of ti
Chamber of Commerce of that cit;
The preliminary arrangements were:
once completed, and the great wol
was commenced.
The Chicago and South Atlant
Railroad will constitute a trunk lii
from Chicago to Charleston, the rou1
being from this city to the State lir
at Dyer, thence through Indiana,
the Ohio River at Vevay, then
through Kentucky to London, then
via Spartanburg to Charleston.
very large portion of the line is alreai
built and in operation under differei
companies, while the new company
filling in the gaps, connecting ti
different links, and making one co
tinuous line, which it will control at
operate. The road from this city
Indianapolis is under contract, and 01
hundred and five miles are near
completed. The work is being push~
ahead as rapidly as a due regard f
economy will permit, and the cot
pany's resources are said to be amp
for the completion of the entire lin
To the cities of Chicago at
Charleston this enter'prise is one
vast importance; to the latter city
is of surpassing importance, andi
completion will be the beginning of
new era for South Carolina. The ror
will traverse a vast extent of ferti
territory hitherto untapped by. at
railroad, and will afford the meansf
an immense exchange of the produc
of various climates. It will open
Chicago an exterdsive market for grai
and provisions, It is estimated th;
forty millions of bushels of corn a:
consumed annually in the Southeastel
States, which will be supplied by th
road, and, with its -completion, th<
will for the first time experience tI
benefit of an abundant supply of ches
provisions. There is no better marki
in the country for the rapidly increa
ing products of the Northwest than
found in tbe section which this ros
will reach. Not only is the demar>
for consumption very large, but tI
export demand will be corresponding
great. Charleston has a fine harbo
and a very important shipping inte
est, which has been largely increase
within the past two years. It is no
the most prosperous seaport in tl
South, and the favorable prospects<
this new trunk line indicate that i
prosperity is destined soon to reccis
a very gratifying impetus.
Ofcourse Chicago cannot look upc
tis enterprise with indifference.
When Boston builds a new elevato
Chicago hesitates not to speak a wor
of encouragement; when Philadelphi
starts a newv steamship line the wor
of congratulation is not delayed,and tia
new competitor for the trade controlle
by the Garden City shall receive ti
same fair treatment. To long-sufferin
Charleston just entering upon a ne
career of enterprise and prosperit
Chicago sends greetings, and bef
wishes of success.

for said county, respectfully present to t
your Honor:
L That they have examined the va- V
rious offices of the public officers fur t
said county. They find the oflice of
f the County Treasurer well kept, the
e books being kept in such a manner that
f an exhibit of receipts, payments and
amount on hand can be ascertained
& ! C
L without difficulty. The present Treas
urer reports the amount of five hundred
and twenty-five dollars as paid over to I
him by David R. Phifer, former Treas- t
urer. They find the office of Judge of i
S Probate admirably kept-his books and (
e papers in the very best order. The of
y fice of the Clerk of the Court is well
e kept. The Sheriff's office, so far exam
e ined, is in good order. The books of
0 the Coroner . and Trial Justices areJ
t properly kept. The books of the County
d Commissioners are properly kept. The
s new Board entered upon their duties
t on'the 5th of Decemiber, A. D. 1874, and
have entered into no contracts, and have
made but one small payment (8.25).
They have advertised, according to
law, for a keeper- of the Poor House,
S and for a physician for the Poor House
f and Jail, and for other proposals, in ac

i needs a house to be built over it, and
ie the yard - should be properly enclosed

n not been supplied by the County Coml

the proper clothing imnmediately. There
are thirty-four inmates in the Poor
House. We find that the County jail is
d entirely unsafe,..and that the .prisoners
need blankets. The other public build

.. to repair 'the building's at the Poor

an.additional levy 'of'one-fourth of a
