The trial of Judge Montgomery
Moses before the Senate is to com
mence to-day. We know nothing of
the evidence which is to be produced
against him, and it would ill become
us to prejudge the case or make ~y
remarks in reference to his guilt or
innocence. We can only hope that
for his own sake and the honor of the
judiciary.of the State he may be able
to prove the charges unfounded.
The CaiUou.
We draw attention to the com
munication of our correspondent,
"Stilma." Although we cannot coin
cide with some of his views, we
pay reiUark that it is now, as we
have said before, our only duty to
elect men of honesty and judgment to
represent us in the Democratic State
Convention, and leave it to them to
shape our future course. The discus
ion.-perhaps the passionate discus
Ajon-of questions which may arise in
the future is unwise; it may produce
unngessary strife and irritation and
impede a vigorous club organization.
Afficient unW the day is the evil
C
.thereof. Let us wait until our best
wn meet and let us abide by their
jadgment.

"The procurator or abbot of the
famous monastory of Le Grade Cha
treuse, in France, died recently. From
P business point of view, the name of
Garcier was a world-wide known trade
mark. Without his autograph no
bottle of the renowned liqueur known
as Chartreuse-green, white or yellow
-could be deemed genuine; and by
the sale of this same cordial the bro
therhood of La Grande- Chartreuse
have contrived, it is said, to realize
for a long time past a net income of
?80,000 a year."
La Grande Chartreuse is the oldest
and most famous of Carthusian monas
eries. It is situated in a picturesque
ut wild and desolate region on the
5ummit of a steep rock at an elevation
af about 4,000 feet above the level of
the sea, within fourteen miles of
arenoble, in the French department
Af Isere. This monastery is the resi
lence of the general of 4he. Carthusian
)rder. The discipline of the Carthu
;ians is very severe. The cordial which
;hey manufacture is said to be the
inest in the world, and from. the place
a likewise called 'Grande Chartreuse.'
ffhether every particle made is sold
ind exported or whether an occasional
trop finds its way down those penitent
3harthusian throats between vespers
and matins, history does not record.
We remember having seen a picture

Gamblers Routed.
RICHM1OND, VA., February 17.
'he movements against gambling in1

>r some time past, are being still vig
rously pushed. Within the past few
ays a number of gamblers and others
ave been indicted by the grand jury
F the Hustings Court, and to-day
oseph Graves, of the sporting fra

ie charge of dealinig faro. He was

SIONALLY slip out of harness and run
down to Columbia. Strangely coinci
dent, we two met on Tuesday last on
the down passenger; he had turkey on
the brain. with a standing invitation to
sit at the hospitable board of Mr. G. S.
Chappell-mine host of the Prosperity
dinnnr house-and was on the way
with cheerful thought intent,.for in his
mind's eye was a noble turkey. We
too had an invitation to stop when
pssing. It was our day for passing.
down the road, and as we never "pass"
such invitations except for good reasons.
concluded to stop and make a few
"passes"l at Mr.Chappell's good things.
The only difference between us was
that J. S. knew all about the turkey
and we did not; and he had seven miles
the advantage of us in dwelling upon
the blissful opportunity; consequently
the only chance left us to get even was
to take in more turkey. If the reader
feels Zurious to know who got the best
of the bird let him ask Capt. Isaacs,
the conductor, who played a conspicuous
part in the work of demolition. Chap
pell had three hard cases that day. If
he furnishes the same every day-we
propose to pass down at least once a
week.
If it were not for the dread of sur
feiting the reader with too much of a
good thing, we would add a few lines
on this popular subject in reference to
the good cheer found at the Mansion
House, so bountifully dispensed by that
indomitable little lady Mrs. Breazeale,.
but not now, some other time for that.
Columbia was in a festive-and en
thused conditiota on our arrival, there
were three important matters on the
carpet-outside of politics and excite
ment in Court and Legislature-Josh
Billings, the Catholie Fair and mill
pond oysters. Josh seemed to have
the inside track. Every other mai
asked, "Did you come to see Josh?"
Even our highly esteemed friend and
compounder of digs opposite the town
clock was running over with Josh.
Under such a pressure it would have
been folly to resist. AU the posts in town
had Josh on them, the windows were
full of Josh. Therefore, we went to
see Josh in company with the aforesaid
man of pills and a distinguished mem
ber of the Newberry Bar. Luckily, we
were late in getting in-and did not suf
fer so much as those who went earlier
and got a full benefit. Thirty minutes:
worth fell to our share, and at the con
lsion, whenJosh said that. if a man
failed to strik&oi:after boring half an
hour he had either a dull gimlet or was
working in the wrong place and had
better stop, and did stop, we three looked
at each other' and smiled for the first
time. We had been spell-bound and felt
relieved. Billings',lugubrious counte
ance, with hollow cheeks and deep sets
eyes, together writh his melancholy voice
which seemed to say, "Hark,. from the
ombs," had a wonderfully sad effect
pon us three. We really felt sorry
hat it was out of our power to laugh,
and resolving ourselves into a commit
ee of the whole, it was unanimously.
agreed that Mr. Billings was a first rate
speller and his proverbs many of them
fll of wisdom, but as a lecturer he
failed in that true inwardness which
was expected, and that his true out
wardness was very ancient and fossil
ike.
After this experience our compounder
uggested a visit to the Catholic Fair
and some oysters fried by ye fair ladie
-there was no. dissenting voice-we
were in need of a change-something
bright, lhvely, inspiring, which a sight of

esg charming matrons would surely
afford, and something beside for the
nner man. We went in and realized
oth. The scene was charming! Bright
yes, sparkling eyes, rosy cheeks, faces
rimful of fun and frolic, tasty dresses,
aunty caps, made up altogether a pie
ure worth seeing. It was not difficult
o imagine that there were assembled in

Remarkable Longevity.
"The name of Nicholas will shortly
come to be thought a synonytm for
naughty in Russia. All the world has
been scandalized by the deplorable
fate of the Grand Dukq Nicholas, a
nephew of the Emperor Alexander II,
who biou~ght himsWlfhinto suhi noto
riety with an-American adventuress
from staid and sober Philadelphia.
And now another Grand Duke Nicho
las, the Emperor's brother, has fallen
from grace. This Grand Duke is not
a boy like his nephew, but a man of
forty-five years of age, a distinguished
soldier for a grand duke, and inspec
tor-general of the Russian engineers.
For some years past he has been keep
ing up 'irregular' relations with a cer
tain Mme. Chisloff, whose ostentatious
ways have shocked the propriety. of
St. Petersburg. At a grand dinner
recently given by the Imperial Guards
at Moscow, Mme. Chisloff went so far
as w send a complimentary telegram
to the officers from St. Petersburg
with a toast. It seems that this is a
privilege reserved for the - Imperial
family, and the high-born soldiers of
the guards could not pat up with
Mme.Chisloff's impertinence. So their
colonel formally complained to the
Emperor, and the result is that while
Mme. Chisloff has. been sent to her
seat in the country, the Grand Dare
has been ordered-to the Crimea. He
is said to have lavished 8,000,000 or
10 000,000 roubles upon this lady du
ring as many years.'
As many years as roublis !
Think of it! A couple of human
beings are still found alive and vigo
rous at the age of ten millions of
years;' they are Russians to be sure,
but it is still remarkable. Methiisleh,
where are you.? Your age is like a
drop on the foam-erested wave com

And then the cheapness of livihg in
those priqeval days. Think of it !

must have enjoyed their lunch in the
shade of those now fossilized fern ti'ees,
riding bareback on the mastodon all
over the' plantation, and fishing for

MR. EDTOR: The question whether
- ratic party should co-op6rate
with a reform branch of the Republi
can party in the next campaign is one
which the writer of this communica
tion would have preferred to let re
main untouched until the meeting of
the Democratic convention, or at least
until there was a movement made by
the Republican party to show that a
reform party-claiming respect by ita
character and numbers-had been
really organized. The adoption of Gov.
Perry's resolutions by the Greenville
Democracy, however, has thrust up
on us the necessity of forming and
expressing an opinion on the mooted
question. As the subject is one of
vital importance to every citizen, I
hope, Mr. Editor, you will allow opin
ions to be expressed which may differ
from your own, but which may at least
serve as an incentive to other writers
better qualified to consider the ques
tion more thoroughly and intelligently.
In the first instance it is obvious that
our object is to have good, honest gov
ernment. Secondly, we organize for
the purpose of obtairing that result,
and thirdly, we desire .to obtain it by
honest means-neither through in
timidation nor fraud. .Now there is
at present no difference among honest
men in regard to any principle by
which the government should be ad
ministered ; there is no party as far as
party politics is concerned. This wri
ter would be greatly obliged to any one
to point out to him the least difference
in opinion as to the method of adnin
istering the State government. Neither
a Republican nor a Democratic party
exists in this-State as a party. There
is.a certain body of men, composed of
the native whites and. early foreign
settlers, with which we associate the
name Democrats, and a certain body of
men, composedot the colored people,
earpet-bagger3 and scalawags, with
which we associate the name Repub
licans. (We use the n'ove names not
as terms of reproach, but simnply as
names of easy desgnation.) Although
at the present there is no difference in
the tenets of the honest men in either
party, there was forfnerly such differ
ence, and the names carry with themn
to those who were formerly opposed to
each other an acquired meaning now
which cannot be obliterated; the dis
like to walk about with your former
opponent's label on your back. We
don't like to fight under anybody else's
flag when our flag covers the same
reasures although we know that either
flag is a meaningless rag, and nothing
but a rag. If the Republicans.had
already organised a reform party and
asked the Democrats just to vote for
the Republican nominees as Republi
cans-supposing them to be worthy
men-how few Democrats would do so,
however willing they might be to vote
or those very nominees if they had
been nominees of a combined conven
tion. Most people think that Gov.
hamerlain't.honestly means reform.
Would it not be ridiculous to ask
him to join a Democratic club ?
he name .Democratic may carry with
it~ ertain principles of Federal policy
which an honest Republican might
at wish to adopt, and and for the
avowal or disavowal of which there is
ot the least necessity in the election
>f State officers ; our representation
n Congress is of secondary importance.
We should not ask from others what
ye would not do ourselves. There
~re but two ways-either to have a
ommon name and organization for
he purpose designed or to have a
cation of separate organizations.
'he latter method is now the only
>racticable one. If we desire to 'ac.
orplish an object we must calculate
he means at our disposal. The body
f men which are labeled 'Republicans'
ave a majority of 40,000..voters in
he State. We claim that there can
e no reform in ~the Republican party
self, because they are nearly all cor

securing to his party a fair share of office
would give him more confidence in the
sincerity of the promises made by his
former intagnists. This coalition,
however, which is absolutely necessary
when it is sought by an independent
branch of the Republican party, we
cannot procure unless they organize
themselves; we cinnbt orginize for
them; and therein we consider the
Greenville movement premature. But
if we, after such an independent organ
ization be formed, should refuse to co
operate we will insure disgraceful de
feat. If such an organization will not
be formed, then we have to do our duty
and fight alone. STILMA.
FoR THE HERALD.
MR. EDITOR: As I was strolling
through a beautiful grove 'some days
since in the suburbs of Newberry, I
fell upon one of our public schools,
into which I summed up the courage
to enter. My design at first was
merely to pay my respects to the
school. but I was so highly and agree
ably entertained by the intelligence.
good sense and earnest deportment of
the teacher, and the good behavior
and proficiency of the pupils, that I
was induced to remain almost two
hours, and would have remained long.
er but for the hour of dining being at
hand.
Previous to this visit, Mr. Editor,
I had labored under the false impres
sion that teaching school was a kind
of lazy business, that only suited peo
ple who loved their ease; but this
visit convinced me of the error of any
such conclusion, for I was not long in
discovering in this school. that teach
ers may sit still in their chairs and
manifest as much earnestness and -en
ergy in the worthy calling of "teach
ing the yoang idea how to shoot," as
in any other occupation whatever.
The school above referred to, Mr., Edi
4r. is presided -over by :two noble
minded and thoroughly competent
young ladies, whose example of going
to work with so much spirit and vim
in these hard and poverty-stricken
times, is certainly deserving of imita
tion by, and a rebuke to, the many
young ladies of our country who spend
their time in novel reading, or other
worse than useless employments, being
rather drones than useful members of.
society. We would just here venture
to say if any one wishes to spend''an
hour or two most pleasantly they can
surely do so by making it convenient
to blunder, as we did, into thise well
conducte51 and highly interesting
school. We have purposely . avoided,
Mr. Editor, giving the names. of these
young lady teachers, as we feel -sure
they do not wish to have their names
blazoned in the public press; besides
it would be of no benefit to them, for
such people always make their waj
into public estimation by their acts,
and -not by what others may say or
write about them. CIVIS.
