Assaults. When a candidate for high office is so well Hkedt8'%popul1ar with the masses as to niske.his.defeat difficult in a fair aind hon orable fight, mean and cowardly men are not wanting who delight in manufacturing lies and slandering bis good name. There are also thr whose selfishness prompt them to prostitute their honor, pervert truth, anid ignore'right, for the sake of injuring a com petitor in' business, whose prosperity they envy, and .with whose business sagacity they have not the; talent to successfully compete is an honorable way. These thoughts are suggested by the mean, cowardly attackq mae pon me and my medicines, by those iLo imagine their pecuniary prospects in jured by the great popularity which my standard medicines have acqired, and the cutioned growth of my professional pr'c &ce.- .arrow-minded practitioners of medi ciiie,. and manufacturers of preparations which do not possess sufficient merit to suc cessfully compete for popular favor, have re sorted to such cowardly strategy as to pub lis~h all sorts of ridiculous reports about the composition of my mediciues. Almana'cs, "Receipt Books," anid other pamphlers, are issued and scattered broadcast over the land, wherein these contemptible knaves publish pretended analyses of my medicines, and re ceipts for making them. Some of thesepub lieations are given high-sounding names, pretend to be issued by respectable men of edveation and position, for te good of the people-the more completely to blind the reader to the real object in their circulation, which is to irnjuTre the s-ale of my medicine-. "The Popular IIealth Almanac" is the high sounding name of one of these publication:s, which contains bogus receipts, without .a grain of truth in them. Not lees devoid of truth are those which have been published by one Dr. L., of Detroit, in the Michigan Farmef, and by other manufacturers of med icinles, inl several so-called journals of Phar macy. They are all prompted by jealousy and utterly fail,in accomplishing the object of their authors, for, tnotwithstanding their free circulation, my med cines continue to -sell more ta!'gely than any others muanufac tu-red in this country, and are constantly in creasing in sale despite the ba-e lies concoct ed and circulated by such knaves. The peo ple find that these mediMes possess genuine merit, eccomplish what their manufacturer P!aims for tbem, and arc not the vile, poison Qus nostrums which jealous, narrow-minded phJy%icians and sneaiking compounders of competiDg mediCines represent them to be. Among the large nzumber of pretended anal y ses published, it is a sIONIFICANT FACT that r.o two have been a; all alike-conclu i.ively proving the dishonesty of their au thors. Itis enough for the people to know that wh ile thousands, yes, I may truthfully say mi!!ions, have taken my medicines and have bcen cured, no one has ever received injury fr om their uise. R V.

Rugcr to give orders to the Federal troops _s?ttoned at the the Capitol in Colunmbia on Tuesday, is an audacious swindler, whose chief claim to notoriety rests upon his per fortmances as Chairmxan ot a commnittee appointed when Scott was Gov.ernor, to purchase furniture for the Septh Carolina House of Representatives. The extravagance of the purchases made by Dennis was so gret as to excite .remark and lead to investiga tion, and,.the. :consequence was that although bills to the amount of $95, 000 were passed by the Legislature, when the oriidal bills were hunted up they amnoubted to only about $50, 000, so that there must have been a clear larceay of about.$40.000 on this job alone. Although. there were but 124 memnbers of the House, 200 fine porcelain spittoons at $8 apiece werd bought for their use, and it was proved before arm investigating committee that under the pretence of fitting up com mittee i-ooms, the private lodgings of nienibers in their boarding houses were in many- instances furnished at the expense of the State with Wilton and Brussels carpets, mirrors, sofas, and similar luxurious appointments. [New York Sun. EcLECTIC MAGAZINE - The Eclectic for December makes its tribute to the interest fel- in the recently closed Centennial Expo sition, at Philadelphia, by presenting its readers with an excellent portrait ot Gen. Joseph R. Hawley, President of the Centen nial Comission. The portrait 1s aecom panied by a brief sketch of Gen. Hawley's life. The literary contents of the number are unusually various, there being no less than seventeen articles, besides the four well filled Editorial Deparnents. A mere list of these articles will be sufficient to show their value, interest and variety: "Automatism aind Evolution," by Charles Elam, M.D.; "Daniel Deronda;" "The Two Chancellors: Prince Gortschakoff and Prince .Bismarck;" "Astronomy in America," by Ri'chord A Pr octor, B.A , F.R S., '"Primavera," by W.

Byways of Book making;" "Isasm." by L Mason; "The Planet Saturn's Dark Ring;" by Richard' A. Proctor, B A., F.R S5; "An American Co-operative Comn mnuniry;" and "The Waiting Angel." It will be seen that several of the articles on the list arc peculiarly timely-the one on "The Two Chancellors" throwing a flood of light on the recent and current history of Europe. Published by E.

The January Number of "Peterson's Maga zive," that paragon of the lady's books, is out in advance, and is, we think, the most superb we have ever seen. There are two br.utiful steel e'ngravings, one of a little girl and water-lilies: the other "']he Wanderer," illustrating a story by Frank Lee Benedict. The mammoth colored fashion-plate is amtx snally elegant; it is a picture as well as a fashion-plate. In all, there are som~e thirty fashion patterns in the number. But the great feature is a magnificent colored pacttern of a new kind of fancy work, "Ribbon Em broidery," which every lady will be wild to learn, and which is, besides, the most costly embellishment ever seen in any magazine. The stories are even 'oetter than osual. and no lady's book has such writers as '"Pe-erson." This magazine is cheaper than ever for 1877.

Some of our--agrietdteural journals are insisting upod -a more practical feature in our schools and colleges. They say truthfully that young men are trained and pfparrrv;y fession in life except that of farming. There are, in some parts of the coun try, schools of agriculture, such as the Cornell University of New York ; but in thisa State-there is nothing ef-te' kind' that deserves the naue. The C1aiuxUniversity a.Orarngeburg pre. tenda&to- be such an institution; but it i:enly -a pretence. The most it does is to furnish comfortable berth and State panysto a erowd of ex-reverends and literary backs from -tbe North, who belong to the greM carpet-bag faternity, aid must hrave some sort of political pap. No doubt a man.would make a more succesful farmer ifi he had a theoret ical- knowledge of the profession to begin with. Especially is this'the ease now, when evei-ybody is circumseribing his farmg and introducing more system into his farming operations. The ob ject is not to cultivate as large an area as possible. but to bake the greatest possible yield off a-small area. And for this some scientific as well as'prac tical knowledge is needed. In the absence of agricultural schools, young farmers can learn a great deal from the study of practical chemistry and agricultural journals. Immigration. There is an imnoigration agency es tablished at Gaffney City, Spartaiiburg County, on the Air Line Rail Road, and a large semii-monthly .paper pub lished there for the purpose of dissem iating knowledge in regard to the great Piedmont bat of the State, and to induce persons from a' distance to ~come and settle there. .An Imigra tion Aid Society has been formed., at Welford, another point on the Rail road, in the same County. The upper. Counties are being filled up rapidly by people from abroad, who arc not poli ticians, but working me~n. They, al most without exception, unite with the native whites and vote with them. It is estimated that not less tbyan two thousand immig~rants in this State voted at the last election for Tilden and Hampton. Brick Pomneroy takes to the war path, and says: "We did not advocate the election of Mr Tilden, but before the bayotret shall keep him from entering upon the duties of theaoffice to which we believe he has beeni elected. we are ready to close our office, lay dowvn the pen. take up our rifle and go direct to IWasi'onn or-nny pot of danger he Pin6 Talk. It was s:id-of Golds-ith that he wrote like an angel and talkd like a parrot. Of U3hamberlain it way be said, he talks.ike a patriot and acts like a villiln; This is the way he spoke btfore Yale College, June 3u. 1875: .Whatever-the onstitution em powers the national government to do, let it be done. Whateser the ons-ti tutio does not eMpower the national government to do, let it not be done. Tim-exmple"-ofother governments', the eapires or depotisms .of Europe, has -no apli4atiow here.

We have developed. an elaborate con trivance of central and local powers, with checks and balances*for each. "If, then, local disorders arise in any part of our country, what is the reme dy ?. Is it by exercising doubtful powers or finding new powers for our national government ? No, but by keeping the line between the natitnd powers and state powers clear, deter mined, impassable, and remitting tern porary evils which are beyond the reach of tke just powers of the national goveronent. to the slow but sure in fluences whiob governments do not of themselves impatif or control. 1%Hav6-We:no' faith in our systew ? Shall we abandon it, shall we pluck off the gorgeous coronet of our Republic, glittering -with its thirty-seven sepa rate pricelesm jewels, and trample it ihfier our feet, because five men or two men intrude themselves without right into the legislative halls of -a State?" The Baptist State Convention. This body, having been in session several days at Sociatv Hill, Dar*lig ton County, adjourned November'25th. On ithe last day a Centennial meethig was held for the puriiose of encourg in -the endowment of t;he Theolngital Soiimiry at Greenville. There are seventy five Baptist ministers in the State who ha've been educated- at this Seminary. Dr. Broadus, in referring o the growth of the denomination, said* that their number ib 1776 was 2,500; in 1876 it :is 1,750.000. Speaking of the neglect of education, he said that only 300 young men ini the' whole State are pursuing a college course. Furman University is now open. free of tuition; yet, out of 65, 000 white Baptists i the State -atly 6students are now in attendane Business Unsettled. .The whole country is complaining ofstagnation in business. The worst effects have probably not yet been felt; election we have,.been living off the re soreer accumulated months ago, but are; laying up very little now for the months: to -come. It will -be some time yet before matters return .to their ormal condition. Most people are absorbed in politics to the prejudice of their business. It would be well for us to turn our attention from this distracting subject and devote our selves, heart and hand, to the redemp tion of the time that has been lost Who shall be President ? is- not half so important a. question as what shall we eat -and wherewithal shall we be clothed I A clergyman's Tribute. We do.not think it a good plan to mix up politics and the gospel. It is very unusual here, though frequently done at the North ; niot in a partisan way but just in the same way that some of cur preachers preach about teperance.and thie ladies' dresses. Rev. D eWitt Talmage, of New York, in a sermou a week ago, thus speaks o2 onr State affairs : - The political paty in South Carolina, rejected by the party opposing, inst6ead of trying to raise up strife, call upon their con stituents to leave the matter to the hih tribunals of the State and nation. [Applause.] I know of. no nmore ad mirable document than that of Wade Hampton." Tim Hurley, County Treasurer of Charleston, who formerly held the fice of buffoon in the House of Rep resentatives, has been ~striking for a little cheap popularity. He says if the Republicans count in the Electors by fraud he will refuse to serve. What is his idea of fraud ? He knows his refusal to serve would amount to just nothing at all; for the other Electors are' authorized to fill vacancies- If he mnent anything, he would say that if they are fraudulently counted in his vote would be given to Tilden. Yet, some men are calling Tim a wonder fully fair-minded man since his recent deaation. Popularity is too cheap; the demand will soon exhaust the sup ply. _ _ __ _ _ Deserved Praise.

Moiday just be fore 12 o'clock Mr. Orr moved to ad journ, with a view of resuming the sessioo, when Speaker Wallace 'rose and made the following speech: Gentlemen of the House tf Representa tives: I have just been officially informed that there are in readiness npwards of 100 armed men who are about to enter the hall for the purpose of ejecting cer tain members upon this floor. The members to wbom it is intended that the force shall be applied have been recognized by this House as members, and we dispute the authority of the State government to eject from this floor any member of this House upon the ground that he is not a legal mem ber of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina. We insist that this House is the only competent authority to pass upon the qualifications and election returns of its own mem bers. The force to which I have alluded is acting directly under the authority of Governor Chamberlain and under his commission. The chair is given dis tinctly to understand that if that force is resistedb y the mcmbers of this House, the military forcc of the United States will be invoked to its assistance ;.tbat that assistance will be rendered not for the purpose of npholding another body claiming to he the House of Represen tatives of SouthCarolina, but upon the ground that tht~ force is under the Gov ernor, and that the action of the mili tary is iii support of the Executive au thority of the State. With a view of prer entino a collision upon this floor in Which lives may be lost and blood shed, with a view of preserving the public peace with a view of submitting to proper and legal arbitrament all the rights we claim on this floor, the Chair is of the opinion that this House should withdraw from this hall. While we as sert onr rights as the legal House of Representatives of South Carolina, while we dispute any authority under the sun to decide for us who have rights upon this floor, but solely for the purpose of preserving the .peace and preventing bloodshed and of conforming our con dluct to the public teachings of the po litical leaders of the State, ?am of opin ion that this House should withdraw to another hall. It is not essential to the legality of the House of Represen tatives that it should sit in this hall. The constitution requires that the Gen eral Assembly should meet in the city of Columbia, and with a view of giving emphasis to the reasons for our with drawal, I desire to repeat that while we claim and insist upon all our legal a-- --P of keeping the peace and preventing violence and of preventing bloodshed, we will repair to another ball and exercise the proper fanctions that appertain to this body. I may as wvell state that the only legal House that can exist irr South Carolina is a body consisting of sixty-three mneu bers. That constitutes a quorum of that body under the constitution, the mem bership of that body being fixed at 124; the constitution also providing that a majority of tbose miembers is alone competent to do business. I, therefore. gentlemen, upon the rrounids ststed. and for the reasons ~iven, while iusisting that we are the 2nly constitutional House of Repre ;eutatives in South Carolina, that for the purpose of preventing bloodshed, [ recommzend thatt we do adjourn to mother hall in this city. The. Democrats then .withdrew to Caroliua Blall, with 60 members hay ng certificates from the Board of lauvassers. There .was no canvass of ~he votes for Governor. Congress.
