[From the Cincinnati Gazette. Oct. 21.] The Late Lieut. Benuer. How the Democratic Congress Eobbed the Army Officer Whose Family is Now Left Destitute. The following letter from the lat Lieut. Benner, who volunteered to take charge of the yellow fever relief boat on the Misssisippi River, and whose life was sacrificed in that un dertaking, will be read at this time with painful interest. It fairly il lastrates the cruelty pracriced upon the Army by Congress. for politic. effect. The House, it will be re membered, refused to pass the Army bill, and adjourned, leaving the Army to starve. Lieut. Benner had give;i the mature years.of his life to the ser vice of his country. He was not ed ucated in the way of making mon-y. He was poor, as Army officers go-o erally are. He had, besides, a wife and children to support-a wife and children who are now deprived f husband and father. The letter tells the rest, and we leave it to speak f-r itself, with the remark that the gal lant officer whose pay had been stopped by a heartless Congress, an officer to whom the Government was indebted, with the' money in the Treasury, was forced to offer 2 per cent. per moth for the use of money to pay board for his wife and children. Here is the letter, addressed to one of our own citi zens: COLUMBIA, S, C., June 6, 1877. William, Mean s., Esq., Cincinnati, Oho: My DEAR S1R: I trust that you reached home safely and found every thing and everybody as you desired to. I shall not soon forget the pleasure of meeting you and that derived from the visit of your party to this land of flowers, and trust that thetiwe is not far distant when we shall meet again. Have just returned from a trip to the mountains of North Carolina, whither I was sent on detached service as a member of a general court-martial: enjoyed tha trip very much, but feel somewhat jaded. -Times here are very dull in every branch of trade and industry, and will not in all probability bemucli better before Fall, when the cotton crop coming in will improve everything in the way of business. I desire to make an inquiry, which I hardly know how to express, and trust you will not think me presump tious in thus addressing you on so short acquaintance ; but the failure of Congress at last' session to' provide means for the maintenance of the Army places us in an unpleasant pre dieament, and I am forced to negotiate a loan to carry me through until Con gress passes an appropriation bill at the extra session to convene on the 15th of October next. If you could give me the name of a person or firm with whom I could make the arrange inent desired, you would confer upon me a most important and valuable favor, and for which I should always be. under deep and lasting obligations. I could give as collateral security my pay accounts, which amounL to $150 per month, and which will be paid by an~y Paymaster in the department as soon as the necessary appropriation is made. I shall need about $600 for six months, and it will probably be the middle of November next before the' appropriation is made, and for* which I would be willing tospay in terest at the rate of 2 per cent. a moqnth. I have been in the .Army 15 years, and not sufficiently acquainted with moneyed men to approach th'm -on a subject of so delicate a nature, but circumstances force me to make this request, and unless I can efieet this loan in some way, don't see how I can get through. There can be ab solutely no 'loss to the lender, as the accounts will be paid as soon as the appropriation is made. If you will have the kindness to let me hear from you early, you will greatly oblige, as I would like to make the arrangement before the end of the. present month if possible. With kind est regards, I am very truly yours, H. H. BENNER, First Lieutenant, Eighteenth In fantry. Woodstoek, Ga., April 12th, 1877. Dr. Harter, Dear Sir : I had the .Every-day ..ChilTs for four weeks and nothing would stop them. DR. HA.RTER'S FEVER AND AGUJE SPECIFIC was recommended to me. I sent to Tuscaloosa-thirty miles distant-for it. I was cured immediately. Did not have another Chill after taking it. JAMES F. KENNEDY. For sale by all Druggists.

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. The Herald is in the highest respect a Fain ily Newspaper, devoted to the material in terests of the people of this County and the State. It circulates extensively, and as an Advertising medium otcrs unrivalled ad1 vantages. For Terms, see lirst page. "One of the Announced." The following communication ap peared in the Newberry News of the 1st instant: The Newberry HERED, last week or the week before, (the paper has been thrown aside and the day of its publication cannot now be niore precisely stated-without unnecebs ry trouble,) makes known that per sons who have been announced for the various County offices, otherwise than by the Convention of the Demo cratic Clubs, may decline the. posts to which they have been suggested through its columns-FREE OF cHARGE. Can anything be more liberal? And yet, strange to say, how little has this been pointed out to public at tention. "Charity puffeth not -it self," so the HERAD could not re peat it, and the press of the State has entirely ignored this unparal leled proposition. It is true labor is becoming very cheap in this country. Sometimes, too, at the present ruling prices, one may get enough for doing a job of work, so that he can afford to undo it for nothing. It may be that the charge made for the card announcing the candidates, which it is very prob bable, too, was paid in cash, was sufficient to warrant the HERELD in offering liberal terms to those who wished to have their names with drawn. But suppose that one who be lieves that he cannot be regarded as a candidate until he does some act - which may be construed into. an acceptance of the nomination, and consequently sees no necessity for declining, as silence would amount to the same thing. What is the price of silence ? The HER ALD should be a little more ex plicit in its terms, as they may ad mit of a different construction from that intended to be conveyed to the public mind. An announcement may thus be distorted into a de nouncement *ONE OF THE AXNNoUNcED. We do not know who "One of the Announced" is, and we do not care. He has hidden himself behind an assumed name-the effect of ex treme modesty,- no doubt. But however his name may be concealed his animus is as clear as the noon day sun. The editorial-in the HERELD that called forth this waspish little effu sion appeared in the issue of Octo ber 16th. As others may have "thrown aside" the paper of that date we will save them the "unne cessary trouble" of looking it up again, by republishing the editorial in full. Several Democrats of this County have been nOminated as independ ent candidates. Only one of them, so far as we know, has said whether. he will run or not ; Mr. A. J. Long shore has declared, through the HEAD, that he will not be a can didate, and would not serve if elect ed. What about the others ? Will they run or not ? Many Democrats ae asking this question. We don't dictate to any man, but if any of thle above named nominees want to decline publicly they can do so, and it shan't cost them one cent The columns of the Em are open, free, to all such. "One of the Announced" did not avail himself of that offer; he did not decline ; perhaps he considered it "unnecessary trouble." - He seems to think that silence amounted to the sanie thing. Whatever he may think nine-tenths of the people in this County, as well as in every other County in the State, think quite differently, andl construe si lence in such cases to mean con sent. Not to decline a nomination is regarded by the people at large as a virtual acceptance. This the author of that communication very well knows. And this opinion amonts almost to a certainty in his case ; for he cannot plead that to decline would have been "unne cessary trouble," since he has gone to much more trouble in criticising the "liberal terms" offered by the HERED than it would have required to write a plain, simple and unmis takeable declination. The only inf.er ence in, that he had no objection to being considered an independent candidate-at least by those whose votes he expected to get on election cay. His silence answered every purpose: the regular democrats knew what sort of a ticket they had ~o contend against, and it saved the pendent nominees, while we did 3harge for their nomination." Well, if "One of the Announced" had no part in making the nominations, as he certainly had none in declining, what is that to him? What is it to him whether "the charge made for announcing the candidates was suf ficient to warrant the HERALD in of-' fering liberal terms to those who wished to have their names with drawn," or whether that charge were "cleap," unless he helped to pay for it ? Even in that event he has nothing to complain of, for our terms for announcing candidates were undoubtedly known to him before his name ever appeared in the HERALD on that ticket. Those wyho handed in the independent ticket have made no complaints concerning either the charge made for its publication or the "liberal terms offered to those who wished to have their names withdrawn." Their only idea in publishing the ticket was to give it circulation- -to make it known throughout the County. They did not expect the HERALD to suppoIt that ticket. They knew, on the- contrary, that the HEnALD had already committed it self fully to the support of the regu lar democratic ticket ; that it had been working for that ticket from the time of its nomination, and that it would continue to work for it and do all in its power to secure its election against any and all others, the independent ticket included. What these men no doubt did ex pect, and what they had a right to expect, was that the HERALD should do the independent nominees no injustice. There is no room for complaint in this quarter; for while we have said nothing in their com mendation, which we could not have done without violating what we considered our duty to the Deni ocratic party, we have not written one word against them. They are good and true men ; they are demo crats ; but as members of a demo cratic club, and with our idecas of the present necessity of party or ganization, we were bound to do everything legitimate and proper in our powver to d1efeat them. Fur ther than this we have not gone. Hence the insinuation about "de nouncement" is both base and base less. "Th.e HEaRLD should be more ex plicit in its terms." "What is the price of silence ?" When a man is nominated on an independent tick et the price of silence on his part, in this County at least, is that he gets the credit of lending himself to a few disgruntled whites and the great mass of the negroes in their attempts to defeat and overthrow the democratic party and thus pave the way to the restoration of the coL. apt rule of radicalism. This price has been established by pub lic opinion, not by the HERALDn. For the HERALD'S terms see fi'st page. If they are not sufficiently explicit, inquire at the HERALD Office. A Complaint. Now, that it will do no harm, we say that Newberry Co'unty has been treated most shamefully by the State Executive Committee during the campaign jast ended. Although it was known that this was one of the close Counties, and although members of that committee classed this County among the doubtful, yet no efforts were made to help us. They did arrange one political meet ing here, away yonder the 12th of September ; but after that they left us alone. Attorney-General You. mans, Secretary of State Sims and Lt. Gov: Simpson are the only big guns that have been sent by the Committee to this hotly contested part of the.fleld. Gov. Hampton has not shown himself to us at all. In this mat ter no blame attaches to our County Executive Committee, for they have written time and again, and begged and entreated for campaign speak ers ; yet to no effect. The low price of cotten is making farmers feel blue indeed. Some who are able to wait are holding theirs with the expectation of bet er prices in the Spring ; but the greater portion have immediate need of money, and are compelled to sell. The low price will affect the far mers especially, but will not be con. ined to them by any means ; for he farmer feeds all, and when he suffers other classes must suffer, to some extent, with him. The Aiken Review Is the name of a new paper just started in Aiken. Proprietor, Thos. T. Aams; Edtr,m .Tames Gray Now For It. The campaign is over, or will be by the time this reaches our readers. Many subjects of a political charac ter have been kept in the back ground on account of the primary importance of the election. Now, if anybody has anything worth say ing that he wishes to say let him blaze away. We have already spoken in our two last issues of National Banks and the Public Debt. We propose, from time to time, to discuss these subjects further, and to discuss the Green back question, Bonds, and other questions, not with a view of taking sides or making converts, but, as in the case of the two articles al ready alluded to, with the sole pur pose of giving information. And our columns are open to others for the same purpose. Drift Wood. The Atlanta Constitution calls Hayes a soft money man. We move to amend by striking out the word money. Judah P.

Lord Beaconsfield, (Disraeli,) Prime Minister of Great Britain, was attacked with an epileptic fit on the 29th ult. The heavy strain on him in arranging the Berlin treaty was too much for his consti tution. He has rallied somewhat from the attack and there are hopes of his recovery. The Manhattan Savings Bank on the corner of Broadway and Bleck er Streets, New York, was entered by burglars on the morning of Oc tober 27th, the doors of the safe broken open, and robbed of bonds and securities worth $2,747,700. It was one of the boldest and most expert bank robberies that has ever been committed. The Glasgow (Scotland) Bank failed a short time ago for $50,000, 000. The criminal law is after the Directors and other officers on a charge of fraud and theft, and the civil law has taken hold of the share holders to wring tl-e deficiencies out of them. $500,000 has been refused as bail for one of the Direc tors ; and one of the shareholders is requested to fork over to the tune of $600,000.

Tbe Carolina Democratic Club was called to order by President J. E. Brown. Roll -was called and thirty five members found present. F. WV. Fant, Esq., Chairman of Executive Committee, stated that the object of. meeting was to take action in regard to meeting at Jalapa, on Saturday next, and to devise means to meet club expenses. On motion, it was resolved that a collection be taken up for the purpose of paying club assessments and ex penses. The collection amounted to twenty dollars. On motion, it was resolved that it was the duty of each member who could do so, to attend the meeting at Jalapa on Saturday next. On motion, it was resolved, that the Executive Committee detail at least one member of this Club to be present and work at each polling precinct in the County, and if necessary to draw on the treasury to pay horse hire. Mr. W. LB. Aull offered the Club the usc of four mules that day, for which the Club voted him thanks. Mr. Jno. W. Payne tendered his resignation by letter. On motion, it was resolved that the Club accept his resignation with regret, and tender him its sincere wishes for his success in his new home.

Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, A. C., October 30, 1878. Ite elections which will take place Wvik from to-day will not, indeed, ix the political charaeter of the next [luise or Senate for that is beyoud .ution Democratic. But they may, by giving emphasis to the results of L,e September and October elections, idd to the earnestness of Democrats in the present Congress. Outside of political questions, unless the Radicals choose to make official extravagance a plitical question, is the subject of re du,,ing the Federal expenses. They are fifty millions too high every year. An Administration created by Repub licans, by making estimates smaller than any previous appropriations, has approved all the reductions previously made and invited the Democratic par ty to suggest more. That party, con trolling the prosent House will be false to itself, and will deserve condemna tion, if it fails to insist on every pos sible safe reduction. It should not be content with what the department chiefs recommend. It should go fur ther, and refuse to-appropriate a dol lar for which an actual necessity is not shown. Wc must soon come down to ante-war resources, excepting solely the amounts necessary for interest on the public debt and for pensions for soldiers of the late war and their heirs. Will any one tell me why the enormous burdens of overgrown departments should be still continued ? No one can. Upon Speaker Randall when the House meets in December will rest an unprecedented responsibility. He performed his part at the last ses sion as well as, perhaps, any man could. Now he has more light and his responsibilities are correspondingly greater. Much may be done, too, by the Democrats of the Senate. Voorhees, not in any way responsible for past extravagance, certain of a Senatorial term for the next six years, eloquent, clear headed and honest, may well hold the Senate to a strict adherence to the simplicity and economy which the people demand. Unless I mis take the man he will do it. In no other way could he add more to his reputation or more sigually benefit the people of the country. In March, 1877, being then as now anxious to keep your readers advised of everything of interest here, I sent to you some of the remarkable lan guage used by the Senior Senator from Maine at his first interview with the inaugurated Mr. Hayes. I never thought his neighbors, nearly 2 years after, would use that langua'ge to his disadvantage, as they are now doing. The celebrated interview was on a quiet sabbath day. The subject was spoils. The venerable Senator, who had bull-dozed legally elected officials in all past time, no doubt expected that this beneficiary of "fraud first triumphant in American history" would hasten to turn over for distrie bution the patronage for the Eastern States. Mr. Hayes cruelly refused to do this, and said that the administra tion had no favors to bestow for party services. that Senator Hlamlin for the first time in a century, fully realized the hollowpegs of all earthly things. But I think he would have restrained himself even then but for the wicked Mr. Blaine, who was also present, and who evidently felt a certain pleasure in pushing his colleague on ahead. to take the first responsibility. .Mr. Blane is a designing person and a cunning, and to him, in strict jus tie, should some of the fault be charged. Some of it, too, lies at the door of Secretary Sherman. The lat ter is a man who never had a really honest thought, and who knows as lit tle of "civil service reform" as Ben. Butler does of vital piety. But he sat there with Hayes and Blaine and Hamlin, and grinned approval of all the fine, honest sayings of inaugurated fraud. Now in such a party as this what could Senator Hamlin do ? What could he say ? I appeal to his friends to consider all the circum stances and give the old man another chance.. The recording angel long ago blotted out the words then -uttered. Government clerks have for the next ten or fifteen days what is known as "election leave." This is the time given them, without loss of pay to go home and vote. Your Democratic readers yearly pay in this way, many hundreds of dollars for the privilege of being voted against by Radical em ployees of the government. This is one of the many evils Mr. Hayes promised to break up. Except in Presidential years it was never as con picuous as now. SOLON. Re-Opening a Thoroughfare. In order to guard against results utterly ~ubversive of health, if is absolutely essen ;ial that the grand thoroughfare or avenue of he system, the bowels, should be re-opened is speedily as possible when they become >bstrcted. If they are not, the bile is muis lirected into the blood; the liver'becomes orpid; viscid bilious matter gets into the :omach, and produces indigestion: head Lces ensue, and other symptoms are pro [ced, which a prolongation of the exciting :ause only tends to aggravate. The aperient iroperties of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters onstitute a most useful agent in overcoming onstriction of the bowels, and promoting a egular habit of body. It is infinitely superior FOR THS HERALD. A Reply to "Mollohon." MEssns. EDIToas: A very erroneous and nju:ious impressiun coi:cer?.iug the object a if the communication of "One of the Fifty )ne " is sought to be nwle by our friend a 'Moliohon," viz: That ore of the fifty-one t vould divide the good pople of N. wherry Jounty into two partics. When i: is re- e neinbered that no man in the Courcy has jad better opportun'LieS 'or accomplishing itch a thing, and that instead of encourag- r ng any movement of the kind bit has in- ( 7ariably discouraged all such, saying to ,hose with whom he had influence, "don't ' Doit, don't spring an independent ticket, but i ro with your troubles and wounds aid seek -edress within the pArty ?" When these 8 things are considered, to-eilher %ith the e talk he gave the people at Prosperi:y on the 18th of October last, also the tenor or real object of the communication above referred to, he, with his friends, are per fectly willing for the case to go before his fellow-citizens and for theim to say whether or not he is guilty. The word fire-eaters was used long before carpet-bag rule was known in South Carolina, and when used applies to extieme politi cians. The writer of the article simply t wished to say, without referring to any one in particular, that Gov. Hampton was not Buch a person; that he was a true, safe and noble man, such a man as the critical times in which we live demand. Extremes are always dangerous and extremists and office seekers have been the curse and ruin, not only of South Carolina, but of the United States Government. May we ever be de livered from fire-eaters. If the words par tisan, office-seeker, &c., apply to anybody in particular, it cannot be helped. Certainly the shoe was not made for the gentleman in No. 1 who wrote and argued the adoption of the resolution, or for the one in No. 4 who simply offered it, and if it hurts corns eimen here, the best way for the person or persnis so pinched to get out of it is to "acknowledge the corn " and be guilty no more. 'Who are the "few men in Newberry County who would gladly d. stroy the noin in-itions made by the Convention for their own aggranldizeinent?" We have bward of men who didn't like the nominations, and who objected to the manner in whieb nomi nations were made, and the number of those who thus objected are pet haps a ma jority of ihe Democratic voers of the Gounty, and among them zare some of our purest, be.,t and most patriotic citizens; but we did not know that we had nien so low, so mean, so little and selfish that would gladly blot out these names for "SELF AGGRANDIZEMENT." Who are they who are thus dying for office; that would sink County for self? Surely the people ought to know them that a mark might be put upon them. Of all political characterssave us from the BOLD, UNPRINcIPLED, SELFISH OFFICE-SEEKER, If it is true that the resolution referred to by-"MoLLOHoN" was barely adopted at the last meeting of.the County Democratic -Convention; that tremendous efforts had. to be made to get the requisite number of votes; that delegatis changed their minds in favor of voting for the resolution on that day, even after going into the Court House; it these andi other things that couk' be mentioned are true, Bow IN THE NAME OF COMMON. SENSE CAN IT BE MADE APPEAR THAT THE SAID REsoLU~TION WOULD HAVE BEEN ADOPTED AT TInE FIaST MEETING ? Will same philosopher tell us ? If there had been no difficulty to put an end to the proceedings of the first mteeting, no such resolution could have been adopted, for it was to avoid further difficulties and divisions that induced many tovote for the resolu tion, sincerely believiing that it was the best solution of the difficulties by which' we were surrounded at that time. This strife; this contention at and after the first Con vention. led one whose name had been. spoken of for the Legislature and. whose chances for a nomnationt were as good as any, to propose to his friends at a public meteting, to allow him for the sake of;the County, to withdraw I1is name from the Convention after it should have been placed there. But the famous resolution (so, called by Moilohon) cut off all such oppor tunity, although the propositio. of this in dividuai to his friends was seized upon and used as an argument in g.'tting the resolu tion adopted. Any one can see that our "brother," for we have together rallied "to. the rescue," is slightly mistakenm when he says that the resolution would have been adopted at a former meeting of the Gon vention had- not a difficulty put an end to the proceedings. "The resolution was adopted by a majority of the members of the Convention," this is true, but I cannot in rallying to the rescue with my brother go further and say with him "I assert boldly that it has brought peace and harmony to the County." There is now comparative peace and harmony in the County, and for one I1 am proud of it. But how was it brought about ? Certainly not by the resolution. In No. 4 this may be true, but No. 4 is not Newberry County. *The citizens of No. 4 and other townships are UNITED, they all love the old .party;. a good governmentr and~ feel determined to win the fight. No. 4 endorses the nominees, the manner in which te,thing was done, and, according to Mol lohon, are perfectly delighted, and to this we have nohjections; but there are other townships that don't like some things that have been done and are not in ecstasy of joy; but they se before them a ~terrible UNITED enemy-an enemy that has oppressed, robbed and plundered them, and would do so again if placed in power-they s'ee their beloved old State, their dear little Gounty and their homes in danger, and they have, adopting the idea that this is not a question of men, come to the rescue with their strong arms raised to unite with their brothers frotn No. 4 in giving the death blow to their common enemy. . TheJ~ this is the secret of the peace, harmonye and uity found in the ranks of thte Demtocratic party of Newberry County. All stand upon the same platform, but every one not get on it in exactly the sante way;- this is the only difference. But perhaps we ought not to tell M.ollohon so much for e ntight claim with no little degree of pride to himself in 'ays to come, that the emphatic and authoritative sentence pro nounced by himt, "NEWBERRY SHALL NOT B~E DIVIDED," did the work.: But somehow] or other we think that the credit .of saving Newberry County does not belong to any one individual or to the adoption of the resolution, but that she has been saved by the good sense and patriotism of her citi zens. I join in with Mollohon and say "let us imitate and use the language of Hamp ton," and add, let us be governed by that lofty spirit of patriotism that pervades his irest. Let us imbibe the grand and glori-I ous principles adopted by him, carry :them with us whereever we go, exhibit them in every word and act, and though we have but a few days yet to work for the success a of home rule and good government, if wei stand UNITED and are governed by such igh and noble aims we shall be victorious, Ind "the old ship of State," WITH A RUDDER u next Tuesday, will glide into the port of peace and prosperity where we as BROTHERs :an sit down -together and enjoy the fruits yf our lab.ors.
