FoR THE HERALD. Baby's Prayer. Lowly bowed the golden head, Reverently bent the dimpled knee, And the sweet lips softly said, "Gentle Jesus pity me." Pity thee, oh! sin!ess child, Kneeling in thy robes so white! Yes, a Saviour meek and mild, Hears the baby's prayer to-night. And bright spirits He will send, Guardian angels they will be, Jesus is the children's friend, He will love and pity thee. How oft through life's long chequered way, When tossing o'er life's troubled sea, World-worn pilgrims sadly say, "Gentle Jesus, pity me." When from His fold we chance to stray, Of His commands forgetful be, Let us like baby softly pray, "Gentle Jesus, pity me." MAGGIE. Williamston, S. C. The Citizen's Savings Bank---A Letter from the Trustee The Prospects for An other Dividend. COLU_-BIA, S. C., November 10, 1877. To the Editor of the Journal of Commerce : My attention has been directed to a paragraph in your issue of the 1st iust., relative to. the further payment of the depositors of the Citizen's Sav ings Bank, bankrupt. The facts are just these: We have paid forty-seven and one-half per cent. of the liabilities, and we have some of the assets still left. We are using all the best means in our power to declare another dividend, but all of our largest claims are now in court and we cannot attempt another dividend until they are collected. We can but appreciate the import ance of the depositors at not receiving a dividend, but they must remember that all the easily collected claims were paid in first, with which we paid the first three dividends in about eighteen months. The bank closed in December, 1873; in June, 1874, we paid the first divi dend of 25 per cent., in the following September the second dividend of 12i per cent. was paid, and the third divi dend of 10 per cent.. was declared in August, 1875, making a total of forty seven and one-half per cent. It has been over two years since the last divi dend, and we are not ready to pay any more at present. We will have to ask the depositors to wait, we cannot say how long-for they are waiting on the process of law, not on us. There was no receiver appoitited, but I was elected trustee by the cred itors to act under a committee of cred itors representing tlh depositors con sisting of the following gentlemen : L. D. DeSanssure, Charleston; *C. M. Miller, Laurens; J. H. Rion, Winnsboro'; I. D. Witherspoon, York ville ; J. H. Evins, Spart.anburg; J. B. Kershaw, Camden ; T. B. Fraser, Sumter; John Meighan, Columbia; R. E. Fraser, Georgetown ; L. J. Jones, Newberry ; I. M. Bryan, Green ville; Samuel Dibble, Orangeburg ; S. McGowan, Abbeville. We would ,direct attention to the fact that we have already paid a larger per centage than any other broken institution we have heard of. JOHN FISHER, Trustee. Railroad Disasters. -RooK HILL, S. C., November 23. At half-past three this afternoon the northward bound passenger train on the C. C. & A. R. R., was precipita ted into South Fork Creek, ten miles south of this place, by the giving way of the trestle, in consequence of the foundation having been undermined by the freshet in the creer. The en gine and tender passed over safely, the structure falling just when the express and passenger cars were well on it. The express car turned upon its side in four feet of water. The two passenger coaches dropped into the middle of the running stream till only about one foot of the tops were visible. There were eighteen passengers aboard. James McLaughlin, of Charlotte, was drowned in one of the cars. Most of the passengers escaped through the windows of the oches and lodged themselves in the trees. They were rescued after, in some cases, hours of suffering. The Western bound train on the Air Line Railroad, ran into a wash out between Charlotte anid Greenville Friday afternoon. The engineer, Smith, was killed, and the fireman hurt. No other casualties. Hon. B. F. Crayton, President of the State Fair Association, sold his entire crop of bread-corn to Gen. W. G. LeDuc, United States Com.mission er of Agriculture. This corn will be distributed throughout the United States for seed. Gen. Le Duc said it was as fine quality of this important cereal as he had ever seen, and thereby paid a high compliment to Mr. Cray ton as an agieiu!turist. After this, our people should raisz their own corn, and not imnport it from the West. If we can raise seed for other States, we certainly should be able to wake enough to do us at home. A smaller amount of cotton and a larger amount of grain would make this a most prosperous country.-Phe'ni.. "Cow Bells in the Lane." "The happy scenes of childhood.

S. C. WEDNES1DAY, NOV. 28, 1877. A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam ily Newspaper, devoted to the iaterial in terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad vantages. or Terms, see first page. The Public Debt. The most troublesome matter the Legislature will have to deal with is the public debt. It is a matter that calls for wise and bold statesmanship. The legislator who is afraid of giving offence and be coming unpopular, who looks to his constituents for guidance here, is not fit to represent regenerated Carolina. No matter how the ques tion be settled there will be dissat isfaction. There are those who call loudly for wholesale repudia-. tion, and others who say pay the debt; and save the State's credit, and others still who advise a middle course. Those who advise the mid dle course, that is, the payment of the bona fide debt and the repudia tion of the fraudulent, are right in theory; but how to put that theory into practice is the.trouble-how to separate the honest debt from the fraudtlent; they are so mingled to gether that one is not distinguish able from the other. And if they are distinguishable at all, the Legis latore is best prepared to make the distinction. The committee charged at the last session with the duty of investigating the public debt have no doubt done thorough work, and are pi'epared to sabieit at the pres ent session the best plan of dis posing of this troublesome ques tion. To that icommnittee,' and to the Legislature at large, we must give the credit of possessing the necessary honesty, ability and pa triotism to do what is right to the State and to its creditors. The people having sent their represen tatives to the Legislature should allow them to dispose of all public matters as they see fit ; they have no right to instruct them to do this or to do that-to repudiate the debt, or to pay it, and the legislator who has not the boldness and inde pendence to form his own opinion and direct his own actions had bet ter stay at home.' Therefore, we think the plan adopted in some counties of instructing their repre sentatives what course to pursue in reference to the public debt is altogether improper. If the repre sentatives are fit men they.-know much better what course ought to be pursued than the people at large. We put our trust in the Legislature~and doubt not that they will settle this and every other question that comes before them for the best interests of the State, unbiased by partisan prejudice and unmoved by popular clamior or ap plause. D. T. Corbin vs. 1?. C. Butler. We have received the reply of Gen. Butler to Corbin in the con tested case in the United States Senate. The reply was filed by T. J. Mackey, of counsel for Gen. Butler. The reply is confined to two points : 1st, That the question as to what number of persons shall constitute the House of Represen tatives of the State of South Caro lina, and the number of members o such House necessary to consti tute a quorum thereof, are ques tions that arise solely under the Constitution of the said State, and as such involve no Federal issue. (Const. S. C., Art. 2, Secs. 4 and 14.) 2nd. That where there are two opposing bodies in a State, each claiming to be the Constitutional House of Representatives of such State, the decision of the highest judicial tribunal of the State, ren dered :n a case made to determine which of such bodies is the Consti tutional House of Representatives, is final, and concludes all courts and parties. Decisions of the United States Supreme Court are quoted sustain ing this proposition, and then fol lows the decision of the Supreme Court of this State in the case of '-The State ex relatione W. H. Wal lace vs. H. E. Hayne, Secretary of rhe Baptist State Convention. This body met in Greenville last week. One hundred delegates were present, and the session was a v; y pleasant and harmonious one. Rev. Richard Furman, D. D., was chosen President. The Executive Board re ported fourteen missionaries at work in destitute parts of the State. Col lection for State Missions. $5143 -all debts paid and a balance in the Treasury. General Secretary, Rev. A. W. Lamar, oufered his re signation, which was not accepted. The Executive Board consists of the following officers: W. 'C. Lind say, President; Dr. S. W. Bookhart, Vice President; A. J. Dodamead, Treasurer ; W. H. Lyles, Auditor ; A. W. Lamar, Cor. Sec. and Gene ral Agent ; E. R. Stokes, C. M. McJunkin, W. 11. Strickland, R. M. Sanders, M. B. McGee, G. G. Wells, J. R. Leavell, Missionary Board. The next session will be held in Sumter. The Legislature. This body meets to-day. Many important matters are to be consid ered. What appears to us as most needing attention are : a more effec tual and less expensive method of punishing petty criminals; the es tablishment of County Courts; a law to prevent unjust freight dis criminations by railroads ; an in crease in the salaies of County Auditors and County Treasurers. A Judge will be elected for the 7th Circuit, and probably an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, in place of Wright. Over 7,000 acres of land are ad vertised for sale by the Sheriff of Laurens County, for Sale-day in December. The reason of this large amount is that there -were no courts held at Laurens Court House for several years, and a great many cases had accumulated on the do k. ets, which were disposed of by Judges Northrop and Mackey at the recent terms there. There are also eighteen town lots advertised for sale at the same time. State News. Nine prisoners escape~d fromu the Williamshurg jail last Fr' iday.

Last week we reported the resigna tion of Johnson and Clinton, colored Radical Senators. Since then two others of the same stripe have handed in their political cheeks-Jared War ley, Senator from Fairfield, and Sam my Green, from Beaufort. Capt. Jno. H. Kinsler (was elected State Senator from Richland County the 20th inst., to succeed WV. B. Nash, (col. Rep.,) resigned ; and Col. Jo. C. Haskell, Member of the House, to suicceed C. S. Minort, (col. Rep.,) resigned. Editorial Review. Congress has appropriated $150, 000 for a proper showing at the Paris Exposition next year. The Russians have captured Kars, and are now attacking Erzorounm. The Turks would like to make peace. Ex-Gov. Chamberlain represents Corbin before the Committee on Priv ileges and Elections of the U. S. Sen The Commissioners of the Freed mn's Bank will declare a dividend of 10 or 15 per cent. some time during the winter. Gen. J. B. Robertson claims that the immigration to Texas this year will be larger than it was last, when it was considerably over 300,000. The U. S. Man of War Huron ran ashore not far from Fortress Monroe Saturday, and went to pieces. One hundred persons, including the Cap tain, G. P. Ryan, perished. Mr. Simis, of Mississippi, was can didate for Lieutenant-Governor at the late election in that State, and received a majority of 100,000 votes. At the sae election a Constitutional amend. ent was voted for, abolishing the ufiee of Lieutenant-Governor, which was carried. Mr. Sims' 100,000 ma ority thror,doesan him no good. now ordered all mention of battles to be omitted in future issues of the Army Register, a change more im portaut than the one Mr. Sumner proposed. It is time that all boastful emblazonments of the late fratricidal strife should be effaced. The Chicago 2imes publishes a list L of fifteen banks and eighteen insur ance companies which have burst in a Chicago within a few years, and C which, it declares, "were proved, by an examinatiou of their remains, to have been little better than swindles." t Among the banks it mentions the ' Franklin. which could not pay 10 per cent. ; the Bank of Chicago, with lia bilities about one.third of a million and assets nothing ; the State street s Savings Bank, with liabilities $40,- t 000 and :ssets $200, and so on through the list. The insurance com panics m:cke no better show, the high est divid:-::d mentioned being 16 per cent., the lowest 0. The Chufa. The following is an extract from a letter of an enterprising M. D., in the upper part of our County to a friend in the eastern part, to which we call special attention. In Orangeburg, and in the Eastern Counties of the State, the growing of chufas is no new thing, and from reliable sources we learn the great benefits to be derived in fatten ing hogs, thus strengthening the opinion entertained by the gentleman whose views are herewith appended. We understand that in the vicinity of Pomaria several farmers planted this year, and the fattening quality is clearly demonstrated by the large, fat, black porkers to be seen from the train in a patch near the depot. "I assure you the chufa is a grand success. It is a perfect gold mine to the South. They are far superior to any other new stock feed that we have been experimenting with in the South. They are no longer an experiment, but a fact. We can now raise all the hogs we want in the South. They fill up the want that was felt in the South a substitute for corn for hogs. Their chemical analysis proves the superiority of their fattening properties. "I think of writing an article, pro. bably for the Register, setting forth their merits as a stock food, &c., which I think would induce many persons to cultivate them, for I verily believe they are one of the important links to the prosperity of the South." Onx CENT A DA!-Economy is the order of the thour, and every expenditure, however small, is expected to give a return in full value. Every family requires one good, re liable family newspaper. If such an article can be procured for less than one cent for each working day of the year, we are not aware of it. A Family Newspaper should contain a carefully prepared summary of all the news of the day, both Religious and Sec ular; and if arranged-so that the two depart ments mnay be separated and read by two individuals at the same time, so much the better. The Family Newspaper should have attractive reading and information for the various members of a household. Some por tion of the paper should be devoted, every week, to religious and moral improvement, to eurrent secular news, to agriculture, com merce, markets, finance, to general litera ture, &c., with a special department for the young. Above all, the Family Newspaper] should be perfect!y pure, and free from any contaminating influences in its reading mat ter or in its advertisements. Too much at tention cannot be paid to this feature, when the press is flooding the country with so much that is vile and pernicious. To crown all, the Family Newspaper should be un trammelled by any afmliation with sect or party, and should be free to give all the good news from and about all the world. If such a Family Newspaper can be had for one cent a day, it should be taken by every family in the land. Suchi a Family Newspaper, in every re spect, we find in the New York Observer, now commencing its fifty-sixth volume.

C., Nov. 21, 1877. t The work of the extra session is about orapleted. The Army bill and the Navy eficiency bill have passed, and Mr. Gox of ,ew Yo: k vesrtiday assured the passage of he Paris Exposition bill by a witty speech gainst it. This inimitable humorist puts 1 11 parties in the best of humor and the ongressional heart is never so open to an ppeal for an appropriation as when the ',ngressman is cheerful. Gox should never ppose an appropriation unless he wishes o help it along. Dyspeptic men like Ed unds, Holman and E. B. Washburne, who ever laugh heartily, are the men who kill .ppropriations. The work of the session has not all been ausfactorily done. If anything was to be aid of the strength of the Army-if any hing was to be done more than to vote the iecessary money-the force ought to have >een reduced and re-organized. But this nay be accomplished at the regular session. The proposed bargaining of which I wrote iou, and by which Patterson, Chamberlain, Wells, Anderson and the rest are to escape unishment, is now discussed in the papers. )n the one side it gives immunity to the persons above named and many more, and )n the other it secures clemency to several .housand persons in the South who are accused of violating the Ku Klux laws, and who are liable to be tried at any time. Judge Mackey, of South Carolina, is the prophet of the proposition, and claims that all the leading Southern men are favorable to it. He says Hayes favors it. It is the most extraordinary bargain, I think, ever suggested. This wholesale pardoning of criminals of all degrees, while many States, like Pennyslvac.ia and Maine, for instance, are restricting the pardoning powers in in dividual cases, has something amazing in it. The great subsidy schemes for the benefit of the Texas Pacific Railroad, the Missis sippi Levees, a Brazilian Steamship line, &c., have not been urged during the extra session. Their lobbies have not been here. Winter and the regular session will bring them. It is thought the case of Spofford and Kellogg cannot be decided before adjourn ment, unless the Republicans find they can rely upon Senators enough to insure Kel logg his seat. In the South Carolina case, Butler and Corbin, an effort will be made to get a vote at an early day, and the pro baility i. that neither will be admitted. Senator Conkling's Committee has not reported the New York Custom House nominations, and shows no disposition to. Wh ile the session lasts the Senttor's friends hold their places. After adjournment, Mr. Hayes may, if he chooss, make new ap pointments and the Senator's friends give place to them. Perhaps Senator Conkling would like to have Hayes do that, or thinks he will not dare do it. Maine's first contribution to the Gallery of Statues ar the Capitol was placed in position yesterday. Very properly the mem ory of her first Governor is thus hmnored, and a gentleman who knew Governor King tells me that the artist-Simmons-has been very successful in his work. The States are not forwvarding as rapidly as was ex pected, or as is desirable, their contribu tions to this hall. Tom Paine-no, Bob Ingersoll-has de lined the German Mission. Hie will prac tiee law in this City. Mr. Schurz, who, also, is a free-thinker, can now go to Geraniy if he gives up his Cabinet position. A desperate fight is being made against the confirmation of [H. W. Hilliard, ap pointed Minister to Brazil. It is a petty nd scandalous fight, too, and the Senate ought to hasten the confirmation to prevent American citizens from lurther degrading theiselves iu such manner. Not a mau of tanding or consequence has so far attacked the private character of Mr. illiard ; but vagrants and bummiers have done it per istatly and the Senate is listening to them. SOLON.

We were exposed last week to a pitiless storm, that wet our feet and stockings, and indeed our person all over. In fact we took a cracking cold, which brought sore throat and severe symptoms of fever. The good wife asserted her authority, plunged our feet in hot water, wr->pped us in hot blankets, and sent'our faithful son for a bottle of AYER'S CHERRY PEC TORAL. It is a splendid medicine pleasant to take, and did the job. We slept soundly through the night and awoke well the next morning. We know we owe our quick recovery to the Pectoral, and shall not hesitate to recommend it to all who need such a medicine.--Tehuacana (Texas) Pres bgferian. ECONOMY IS WEALTH, Poor Richard says. If this !be true, then It is wise in every family to use Duryeas's Satin Gloss Starch in preference to any ot'er, be cause it is the most economical ever manu factured in. the world. It is the mosteconom ical because it is the best; it is the cheapest because it is the best. It is purer, whiter, and stronger than any other starch. It has received the highest award over all competi tors in the four quarters of the globe. Don't be deceived by your grocer. Ask for Duryeas' Improved Corn Starch for food, and Dnryeas' Satin Gloss Starch for laundry purposes, and take no other. NOW AND THEN. It Is only now and then that such men as Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, Ex-Gov. Smith and Ex-Gov. Brown of Ga., endorse a medicine for throat and lungs, and when they do it is pretty good evidence that the remedy must be good for the cure of coughs, colds and lung affections. They recommend the GLOW E FLOWER COor SYiUP, and their testimno nials are to be seen roud the ten cent sample bottles of the Globe Flower Syrup, for sale by all druggists in Newberry. A. sample bottle relieve:s the wor.,t cough and will cure sore throat. Regular size bottles, fifty doses, S1. A VERY GOOD) REASON. The reason why only one sample bottle of MERRELL'S HEPATINE for the Liver will be sold to the same person, for ten cents, by our Druggists, is because of the enor;nous expense ot' importing the Hepatiue into this country; but as~ there are fifty doses in the large size bot tles, it seems two cents pet dose is cheap enough after all for a med icine that cures dyspepsia and liver complaint.

We, thn underiigned, being fully per SUaLdel that the intelligence, wealth and industry of Newberry will sustain two good papers, respectfully in rorm the citizens that on or about the first of January next. pur poset publishing a newspaper to be called the NEWVBERRY NEWS. While it is pre ferable not to parade a prospectus, custom renders it necessary that we outline or fore shadow our course. Be it understood at the outset that our chins are not yet hardened either against the humanities or the barber's blade; yet, having sat Gamaliel-like at the feet of Faust during the trying transition, we feel not altogether unfamiliar with the new needs of the newspaper world. Our principle is that ofsimple Democracy, which shall carry us into a crusade for a restora tion (full and final) of local self-government, State relegation of rights, and that elegant simplicity in the national polity which made the Republican Court of Washington and Jefferson so conspicuous for far-reach ing statesmanship. Realizing the fact that continued and in dreasing prosperity depend upon labor and capital, with justice and equity. we shall set ourselves as a wall of adamant against all rings, cliques and cabals that may ariso to distract and overturn County, State or Na tional councils simply to gratify personal prejudice or to satisfy a selfish appetite. As even-handed justice is an undying and en nobling principle, the agricultural, mechan ical, mercantile and professional elements shall receive at our hands their rights as honored and essential entities, whose indi vidual and collective services, upon noble bases, can alone build up and perpetuate a true community of Interest. Addressing ourselves first to the pleasant task of advancing the varied interests of the Town and County of Newberry, and then the State, "from its centre all arouud to the sea," we shall not forget our quota towards broadening the national integrity. As mone:, no less than mind and muscle, nerve and conscience, are the factors in suc cessful journalism, we shall endeavor to use the latter in order to obtain the former. We shall strive to go into the splendid future that awaits a chivalric and magnanimous course, having Faith in our work. TERMS, Two Dollars a year, in advance. R. H. GREN IKER. JR., Nov. 28,4S tf. W.
