Brief Mentions. 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. Thee'stion is, shall the president of the United States 1e permitted to organize state legislatures ~to Suit him self by the illegal use of the United States,army ? It behooves American citizens in all the states not to under rate the gravity of the question. [Springfield Republican. The next House of Representatives will consist of 292 members. Of these. 275 have been elected, nnd 17 remain to be chosen during this year. The States yet to choose Representatives are: -New Hampshire, in March ; Connecticut, in April ; California. in Septeraber; and Mississippi, in No veinber. 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 into the French Assembly a. "(voting macine." An electric apparatus is to be installed on the desk of each member; there are to be two knobs like those of electric bells-one for the yeas the other for the nays. The votes will be registered instaneous ly on a frame-work behind the Presi dent, opposite the names of the mem bers set down in alphabetical order. 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. ORANGEBURG, S. C., January 18. -The ease of the State vs. ex-Gov. F. J. Moses, Jr., and ex-C o u n t y Treasurer J. L. Humbert, for breach of trust with fraudulent intent, was called to-day. Solicitor Buttz stated that, in reference to F. J. Moses a "nol. pros." was entered at the last term, but a new indictment would be given to the grand jury against both him and Humbert at this term. In the case of the State vs. J. L. Hum bert, for official misconduct, the solici tor said that he was informed that Attorney-General Melton would con duct in person the prosecution.. 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 Herald is in the highest respect a Fain .y Newpaper, devoted to the material in nrests or the people of this-County and the tate. It circulates extensively, and as an dvertising medium offers unrivalled ad autages. For Terms, see first page. Editorial Change. Col. T. Stobo Farrow has 'retired -om the editorial chair of the Caro 'a Spartan, a position he has for one time ably filled. He is suc eeded by Capt. H.-L. Farly, a talent d and ready writer. To both the ut-going and.iucoming we wish suc. ess. 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 egistration of the qualified electors of e State was carried by a strict party ote, three Conservatives voting with e Republicans. A bill to prevent cotton factors from king an unfair advantage of those rhose cotton they sample has been in oduced. It provides among other ems that factors found guilty of taking gr-eater quantity of cotton from a iale than is necessary, shall be deemed unilty of misdemeanor, and be punished y court discretion, ands hall account r the cotton so taken at its price per ound. Queer. There is a possibility that an adjourn ent will be effected alout the middle f February. 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. Laurens Items.

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 cordance with the recommendations of the grand jury at a foimer term. For amount of county funds in hands of n Jesse C.

They have examined the Poor r House, and, whilst they find that the n inmates are well fed and properly cared d for by the keeper of the same, yet they r ind the buildings in bad order, and ex tremely uncomfortable; the Well also i needs a house to be built over it, and ie the yard - should be properly enclosed 11 by a good fence. The inmates have n not been supplied by the County Coml it missioners with proper clothing, and d the jury would recommend that an or d der be passed requiring them to furnish 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 s ng are in good ordler.. We find it im r possible for the County,.
