Our Democratic Congress. 4 For fifteen years the Democrats have been in the minority in the House -and it is not to be wondered at that they act awkwardly in their seats. There is, however, a healthy feeling which is coming to the surface that old time party tactics and political strategies hive to be abandoned and a new straight forward course of action be adopted. We want no old school ,stagers who cannot divest themselves of the idea that every measure has to be carried by intrigue. It is time we were acting upon the principle that such is not statesmanship. We can not disguise the fact that we had se rious misgivings when Fernando Wood was spoken of as the leader of the House. It was only through the hon est exertion of Speaker Kerr and the good sense of Lamar that the Demo eratic party were prevented from mak e ~- ing fools of themselves in the Louisi ana election case. The scramble for dAid not elevate the party in the eyes ofimpartial spectators. Speaker Kerr has acted wisely in making new men' ebairmen of important commit tees We are willing to look over their maistakes if we can discern honest intention. We abhor the words "in zige," managmement," "finesse." We hope that the example of Senator Gordon, who positively forbid his son to take an offee offered to him by the Sergeant-at-Arms, will be universally imighted. "If the people of Georgia desire your services they will elect you $ to some offie within their choice." These are noble words. If the Demo SKcritic mnajority desire to preserve their Spower-they must not strive for party success but for good Administration Laditice. -What right have they .to ddelars thiat'a thlird term is not de airale ? They ma'y . resolve not to etgislate on certain subjects ; but what have they to do with the election of President-(except~ in a remog con -4uee. They might as well ex press their opinion by vote that Beech eought'to be expelled from the pul pit oft Piytiouth Church. We are Sgad to hear that members of Con gress entertain sue,h opinion on the third term, but they have no business to nunce it offcially. Morton ofefers a resolution that Secession is ~T~impossible!" As we have said be feie this is an issue of fact and not of law, and no resolution of Congress cenld keep a State from seceding if it desired to do so and had the power. ,We tried it as an issue of fact and failed, andare satisfied. Prussia tried the same experime2nt against the German Diet and succeejed. Secession was possible there. ft destroyed the whole politi cal organization of Central Europe and built up a new one in its stead. The ~dcmeuts of protest by the Diet are food for the grocer. As O'Connell sai 'e 6f1%is young conceited friends: "I've seen an excellent thing 1'in your last printed speech." ":And what was it,'" asked the delighted youth. "A piece of Stilton cheese." somebody else in Congress proposes to .fortify .the States rights doctrines by offering resolutions, and endeavor ing to interpret the Constitution by - resolution of Congress. They forget tiat they cannot make laws- by terpreting the Constitution, that's the business of the Supreme Court 9 We have great hopes in the vitality of the Democracy in Congress, but let themi be true to principle, discard in trigue, act straightforward, honestly and magnaniinously, present practical measures and let theoretical questions alone. -~ Charleston speaks. We learn from the Charleston News & Courier that on the 28th tilt., a most enthusiastic meeting was held to protest against the iniquitous action of the majocrity of the Legislature in the election of Whipper and Moses to the bench : "The Hibernian Hall was thronged -night with the white citizens of leston, who had assembled to her to protest against the election Whipper and Moses to the circuit ch, and to give expression to their hearty -approval of the wise and pa c conduct of Governor Chamber i~... T' ~ ,h~. lovn.~t~*rA rnr~*. in the vociferous applause with whici every word was hailed that pointed tc a sustaining of Governor Chamberlain, to an exclusion, at any cost, of Whip. per and Moses from the bench, and to the maintenance of the rights and privileges of the colored citizens under the law and the Constitution." Stirring speeches were made by Col. Rutledge, Mr. George W. Williams, Gen. Connor and Messrs. J. Adger Smyth, Rudolph Siegling, B. C. Press ley and T. G. Barker. The spirit of resistance is fully aroused all through the State, and spcaks in unmistakable tones. The law must first be invoked. Legal quibbles to perpetrate a wrong should be always discouraged, but techuicali ties to aid justice and equity should be insisted on. The case, however, against the newly elected Judges of the 1st and 3d Circuits has, in the opinion of the most competent author ities, such substantial merits that technical objections need not be resort ed to. Whether those merits will receive their full share of consideration before the proper tribunal is another question. Should legal proceeding. prove unavailing the spirit of the peo ple seems to be such that nothing bul the aid of Federal bayonets would be suffieient to check their resistance to the wrong perpetrated. The follow ing are the resolutions offered by Gen. Conner; and unanimously adopted: Resolved, That as citizens of this State we protest against the action of the General Assembly in electing, as judges, men so notoriously corrupt aq W. J. Whipper and F. J. Moses, Jr., and avow our determination to resist it to the end. 2. That we protest against the con tinuance in office of legislators so re gardless of duty and so reckless of the character, the peace and the prosperity of the State, and we will use every effort to drive them from power. 3. That we cordially endorse the action of Governor Chamberlain in re fusing to issue commissions as judges to W. J. Whipper and F. J. Moses, and pledge to him the full support of this community in his efforts to secure to the people of the State a faithful administration of the law. '"4. That we tender to Governor Chamberlain our grateful thanks for the bold and statesmanlike struggle he has made in the cause of reform, in the economical administration of the government, in the preservation of the public faith, in the equal administra. tion of justice, and in the maintenance of the public peace, and1 we pledge him our cordial support for the accom plishment of these ends.. Cap in-Kidd -and Mr. Bowen. Many of our readers will no doubt call-to mind the ingenious tale of the "Gold Bug," by Poe, which shows at its best his wonderful powers of analysis. Capt. Kidd, a pirate of the Spanish Main, was generally supposed to have buried his treasures somewhere on the Atlantic coast. A Mr. Le Grand, aided by his black servant Jupiter, and the above named poet, lifted the immense treasure years agc on Sullivan's Island and divided the spoils. .This solution of the mysterious deposition did, however, not reael everybody, and people who had nevei heard of the Gold Bug formed a com pany in 1872 under the name and 'style of the Kidd Salvage Company, for the purpose of raising the hidden treasure, whih-it was ascertained by a negro mesmerist-to have been suni at the foot of Dunderberg Mountain on the Hudson. We are in sobei earnest in our assertion. A company was not only formed, but more than a hundred thousand dollars contributed by greedy dupes. The swindle was of course exposed, and the Brooklyn Eagle accused Henry C. Bowen of Beecher notoriety of having been mainly instrumental in getting up the company and pocketing the money. Bowen sued for libel to the amount ol $100,000, and the jury valued the injury to his reputation~at one thous. and. We present the above to our readers to impress them with the ad vantages-even in a business view of the matter-of the study of our great writers. If the poor dupes had known that Mr. LeGrand and Jupiter had spent the last of Capt. Kidd's dub. loons, they would not have invested in Dunderberg stock. The above sounds like a romance, but we assure our readers that it is a bona fide transaction in the Brooklyn courts. Adjournment. The Legislature will meet again on the 18th inst. The majority will have sufficient time to consider their rash action in the election of Judges, and if they-desire to have any voice in the future administration of the State, they will endeavor 'to assist the Governor as much as they can by their moral influence (whatever morality there may be in it) to undo what they have done. Hereafter there will be no Federal bayonets to fall back on, no United States mar shals made.for the occasion, no stuffing of boxes and no voting two hours be. fore day of which proceedinzs our The Pomaria Tragedy. Our readers are no doubt in posses sions of the facts relating to the horri ble tragedy at Pomaria, and which, so far as then known, were given in the last issue of the HERALD. Since then, thanks to the energetic efforts and in telligence of Captains James Canton and John Hubbard, the murderers have been arrested and are now lodged in jail-their names are: Wade Cook, Lee Ruff, Calvin Wilson and W. R. Thomp son. The latter being an old offender who was pardoned out of the peniten tiary by Moses, to which place he had been condemned for twenty years. On the advice of Captain Canton, Thomp son turned State's evidence and made full confestion, implicating others above named. Wade Cook, a notorious scoun drel, acted as decoy, and engaged the attention inside of Mr. Reid while the others were making -ready for the mur derous deed. At a signal given on the outside by scratching on the weather boarding, Cook opened the door, when the party outside rushed in and the triple deed of murder, robbery and arson was committed. Too much praise cannot be given Messrs. Canton and Hubbard for the prompt manner in which they ferreted out and arrested the guilty parties, and particularly that the sudden and tiniely arrest gave the robber-murderers no time to make way with the money. The confession of Thompson enabled the detectives to find it without much trouble. Going down on the afternoon train of Friday last, and proceeding to the place named by Thompson, they found $700 of the money, and the next morning recovered the balance from his wife-the whole amount being $2,900. Some $200, it is supposed, is all that is missing of the entire amount stolen. The part taken by Coroner Eichel berger in this affair is worthy of. special mention, as he was untiring in his ef forts to and did considerably aid in ferret ing out the guilty parties to the atro cious deed. The community and the friend gen erally of Mr. Holloway will rejoice in knowing that though still largely a looser, he has recovered nearly all of the money. South Carolina Conference. We are indebted to our good friend, the Rev. J. M. B., for the following interesting items taken from the sta tistical and financial reports at the late General Conference meeting: White members, 40,432-an in or'ease over last year of 1,478. Num ber of Sunday schools, 456; officers and teachers, 2,740; pupils, 17,945. Children baptized, 1,693; adults, 1,682. The missionary collections for the year exceed $7,000 ; for Confer ence beneficiaries over $5,000. At the missionary meeting held on Satur day night over $500 were raised. Friday night over $400 were raised for educational purposes. The Charlestan Bar. We understand that our Sons of Temperance and Good Templars have addressed a memorial to Congress to have the bar at the entrance of Charleston Harbor removed. Mer chantmen of large draught cannot pass it without detriment to their copper. The cause of Temperance demands that there should be plenty of water. The bar inside the city we are not prepared yet to have removed; for some of us may have occasion to take a little law medicinally. Still we should like to have those barkeepers dismissed who are in favor of having Whipper as superintendent of the mixing of the legal toddies. Vick's Floral Guide. We acknowledge with pleasure the receipt of Mr. Jas. Viek's Floral Guide for 1876, being No. 1 of the series for the year. Like the numbers which have preceded it, it is gotten up in the most attractive and pleasing style, and gives a charming frontis piece of highly colored Annuals. We heartily thank Mr. Vick for his New Year remembrance, and hope that all of our lady readers will signify a de sire to [procure a copy from which to make selection of seed for the coming spring and summer. See adver tisement in another column. The Family Visitor Is the title of a large twenty-seven column paper, published by L. M. Grist, Yorkville, S. C., the first numn ber of which we find on our table this week. In keeping with its title it is devoted to the instruction and amuse ment of the family circle, and is be side beautifully printed. The Visitor will be published semi- monthly at $1.50 per annum in advance. We cordially commend it and wish its enterprising publisher a large success. A lady in our neigh borhood who had suf' fered for over three months the most extreme torture by a violent cough, has become com pletely cured by Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. For sale in every drug store. The Home Insurance Company of New York will please accept our thanks for a copy of its Centennial Calender for 1876. It is the handsomest thing of the kind we have yet seen. Messrs. Thos. W. Price & Co., No. 5 Minor Street. Philadelphia, have our thanks Editorial Review. Tweed is said to be in Cuba, smo king his Havana. Charlie Ross was found last week for the 327th time. Charleston has a successful 'Kinder garten' in operation. The Pope is going to send some fine mosaics to the Centennial. The amount of outstanding legal tenders is now nearly $372,000,000. We don't hear mach of Moodey and Saukey. Has the fire died out? The Prince de Lucedio has eiven four millions to improve the port of Genoa. The State tax for the current year is 11 mills; the county tax for New berry 31 mills.. It has been decided that Tweed's bail on seven recent indictments for felony is forfeited. The tragedy of Julius Caesar was produced last week at Booth's thea tre, New York, with a very fine caste of charaters and a splendid mise en scere. Frank Moulton has instituted suit against Henry Ward Beecher for 650, 000 damages. The complaint sets forth a malicious prosecution. Mrs. Tilton will be a witness in.the case. There was a dreadful hurricane on the Phillippine Islands on the 30th of November. 250 lives were lost and 3,800 dwellings destroyed. Many cattle perished and the crops were ruined. Brick Pomeroy of the once famous La Crosse Democrat has failed to the amount of $140,000. Had he never removed to New York he might have kept the fortune made in La-Crosse. Poor Brick is broken into bats. The general Postal Union Treaty went into operation in France on'the 1st inst. The Union comprises now the whole of Europe, with the addi. tion of Asiatic Russia and Turkey, Egypt and the United States. Mass meetings have been held in various counties to take action in re gard to the recent election of Moses and Whipper. This is right. Every county in the State should express its determination to resist this horror. A tornado swept over the city o: Columibia on Wednesday afternoon, which did much damage to fences. The frame of the Calvary Baptisi Church was blown <lw., n,a struck by lightning and seriously in. jured. Her escape from death wa: miraculous. Beecher is again in hot- water. Moulton has instituted a suit agains him for malicious prosecution-dam ages $50,000. The maliuious proseeu tion consists in the indictments (after wards abandoned) brought agains Moulton, based on affidavits of Beeche1 accusing Moulton of perjury. B. F Butler is expected to be senior coun sel for plaintiff. From every quarter comes reports of Christmas shooting, fires, drunken ness, and all other kinds of accidents A white man named Maguire was dan gerously wounded by a negro man ii Charleston, on Christmas night. I1 was a Christmas accident. A colored man in the same city while under th< influence of Christmas diluted, fel down stairs and died. The Edgefield Advertiser gives ar account of another negro murder! "As they are going on at present the3 will soon exterminate their race. Or Monday morning last, on Col. Moss': place, a negro lad named Joe Pressl: coolly shot a negro man through tbi throat with a double barrel shot gun The latter was named James Frazier He died almost instantly." The same paper says: "On Thurs day night last two colored childrei were burned to death in a house on Mr. Ben Boatwright's place, near Johnston. It seems that Noth parents -Thomas Holmes and wife -had locked the children up in the house and gone off to a neighbor's. On re turning, they found the house it flames and the children screaming foi help-too~ late, however, to rescue them from a horrible death." They make a penal colony of thb bench in other places than New York "Tim" Catopbeil a Civil Justice it New York is balanced by ex-Gov Moses a Circuit Judge in South Caro lina. We might effect an exchange Knowing what we do of "Tim" we would gladly take Moses, and knowing what they do of Moses the people of South Carolina would probably be glad to take "Tim." Each can be trusted to take care of his end of the bench. [New York Trib5une. The Maintenance of Health. The maintenance of health is often mort diffcult than its recovery. Vitiated condi tions of the atmosphere, unhealthy occupa tions, extremes of heat-or cold, and constan1 exposure to rough weather, are all so many provocations of disease. There is but one sure way of effectually guarding the _systen when thus subjected to influences prejudca to health, anxd that is to establish,by judicion tonic and alterative medication, vigor of the body and regularity of its functions.

We have read your paper as a weekly letter for nine years., Every week we devour its contents greedily, and fi something to make us either sad o1 glad. Sometimes the death of a deal friend, and then the marriage and pros perity of another. South Carolina has had a hard time the past nine years, But the most out rageous act ever perpetrated by tha iniquitous legislature was the selectior -of F. J. Moses and Whipper (colored: - Judges, in the place of such men af Reid and Shaw. Look at their antece dents and then you see the enormity o the crime committed against the peace and dignity of the State. Such conduc ought to unite all good men of boti parties in a determined struggle agains such a motley, iniquitous crew. Al honor to Gov.-Chamberlain for refusing to commission them. Let the true mei of the State sustain him, as long as hi acts after that style. The South Carolina Conference ha just closed its session, and I see thi Episcopal authority has taken away m: much loved friend, Rev. R. P. Franks and sent my dear friend Rev. C. H Pritchard to Newberry Station. The former has gone to an excellent charge May it be a fruitful field to him in win ning souls to Christ. The latter har come to as noble a people as pasto> ever served. Delightfully do I remember the peo pIe of Newberry. Two of the happies years of my life were spent on New berry Station. Liberal, sympathetic and pious, they have a wortby pastor; oni of the most energetic and holy men witi whom I have ever been associated. H< was in the bounds of the First Distric I ever traveled as P. E., and such : kind, brotherly letter lie did write me That letter did me good. Then there is the gentle, pure, pru dent and faithful, Rev. T. G. Herbert on the Newberry Circuit. A warmes friend or a more faithful pastor than hi never served a people. With my ol< friend, Rev. Manning Brown for P. E. Newberry station and circuit are indee< blessed. May the Church in all tha section keep on "her beautiful gar ments," and go forth this year, mor< richly adorned with immortal jewels. Bro. A. M.

May they, with thyself, deal brother, and others, at last find sweel repose on the bosom of Christ. I see from your paper that Newberry is still growing and that business is brisk.

An aciount of the destruction of the store and goods of Holloway & Reid, by fire, at Pomaria, on the night of the 24th inst.; robbing of the safe, and brutal murder of my late partner, Mr. Hayne D. Reid,-and the burning of the body, may be of interest to our friends. At an early hour on the night of the 24th, the building was discovered to be entirely enveloped in flames. All efforts to save the house proved futile. Mr. Reid, as yet not seen, the gravest apprehensions were felt for his safety, and not until the fire had~ partially subsided were his charred re mains discovered in the ruins. The key had been taken from his pocket and the safe robbed of $3,000 in currency, besides gold and silver coin amounting to $80 ; also private property of deceased, consisting of a fine double case gold watch, chain and large flat key, and pocket book, with steel clasp, containing private papers and funds. The total loss in funds, goods, and the consequent loss of books, is not less than $10,000. The loss of pro perty is heavy and perhaps irretrievable, but the murderous death of Mr. Reid is a public calamity. I appeal, there fore, to my friends everywhere and the citizens of the State generally,. to keep a vigilant watchfulness over the suspicious characters in their com nunities, that these murderers may be arrested and punished as they deserve. For the many kind letters received from s'ympathizing friends I am truly grateful, and feel that there is relief of mind, in the midst of crushing pecu niary loss, to be found in the condo lence of friends. Very respectfully, THOS. W. HOLLOWAY. Pomaria, S. C., Dec. 29, 1875. FOR TIE HEEALD. MR. EDITOR:-On the 28th inst.,.we took passage on the LR. R.at Martin's Depot, under the special care of Mr. James 0. Meredith-one of the very kihdest men-and conductor on said road. His kindness"will long be re membered. We were safely anchored at Colum bia,-and rested sweetly at the "Mansion House," so well kept by Capt. Breazeale and wife. Here we received special favor again. Early next morning we were off for idew.J.C....and aiivedA Al a. m. Our venerable fishd, D.' H. Ruff', Esq., took charge of us for a time. We will soon enter our new home and begin the work of an itinerant in this large field, On our arrival we were met by many friends, and time sped its way rapidly, when all at once our pleasure was changed into deep sorrow, such as seldom occurs. Little Willie Feather ston playfully ran out on the railroad .to play, having in his hands an open knife and an apple. He ran up the railroad to the switch and started back, when he fell. He rose up- and ran a few yards and fell again;. he again rose up and fell. By this time an old colored man ran to see what was the matter, when it was found poor little Willie, who so full of life a few moments be fore,- was dead. - *On examination it was found that he had fallen on his knife, which pene trated his breast. I never beheld such a scene in my life. I visited the mo ther in her anguish, but who could give comfort under such a shock? None but God. May he sanctify this stroke to her good. The HERALD is directed right. Hope you are better than when I saw you last. Your brother in Christ, G. M. BOYD. Ridgeway, S. C., Dec. 30th, 1875. FOR THE HERALD. SALUDA MILLs, Dec. 20, 1875. MR. EDITOR :-It has been some time since your many readershave heard from this part of the County, there. fore I shall relate a few item s through the columns of your readable paper. Last Friday the members of Dominick Grange, No. 204, celebrated her birth day. The writer arrived at the place about 10 ) o'clock, which prevented him from being present at the com mencement of the exercises. But we were in time to hear the noble address delivered by Col. Lipscomb. He set forth the designs of the Grange in a very plain manner, which I think did some good to the order. After hear ing the address, the audience was respectfully invited to the yard by the W. M., where we found a neatly set table sufficient to accommodate the spectators. There we relished a fine dinner. After dinner the Grangers were ordered to the hall by the W.M., where they went through with busi ness, then heard another address by Col. Lipscomnb. Several persons have been proposed for membership. So much for the Grange. Mr. Editor, several marriages have taken place this winter and several more anticipated. Happy may they ever be.
