Duped colord Eumigrauits.
The St. Louis Christian Adcocate
quotes from the St. Louis Presby
terian a circular, copies of which are
said to have been extensively distri
buted in Mississippi and Louisiana.
This circular, which is indorsed
"strictly private," is datea from tl,t,
"Office of Colored Colonization S,
ziety, Tepeka, Kansas, February 2,
1879," and is headed "Attention,
Colored Men 1" It goes on to s.-y
that "Your brethren and friends ,
throughout the North have observed
with painful solicitude the outrages
heaped upon you by your rebel wns
ters, and are doing all they can to alle
viate your miseries and provide ft r
your future happiness and prosperity.
President Hayes, by his iniquitous
Southern policy, has deserted you,
while the Democrats, who now have
control of Congress, will seek to en
slave you if you remain in the South,
and to protect you from their designs
the colonization society has been or
ganized by the government to provide
laud to each had of a family, whieh
will be given in bodies of 160 acres
gratuitously. This land is located i:
the best portion of Kansas, in close
proximity to Topeka, and is very pro.
ductive. Here there are no distine
tions in society; all are on an equality.
Leave the land of oppression and
come to free Kansas. Lycurgus P.
Jones, President. Show this circu
lar to none but colored men, and keep
its contents a secret." it is almost
impossible to believe that such a cruel
piece of deception as this could be
practiced upon these poor, harmless,
ignorant people-a barbarity worse by
far than the most atrocious of the out
rages attributed to the "bull-dozers"
but the evidence that the colored peo
ple have been designedly duped is
growing stronger from day to day.
The Advocate quotes the Presbyte
rian further as averring that "sonic
of the poor creatures" have discovered
how grossly they have been deceived,
and "have written to their white
friends in the South asking help to
return home. All of them will be
similarly enlightened when they reach
their journey's end." The St. Louis
Globe .Democrat, good Republican
authority, also reports that some of
the victims of the Kansas fever are
very sick of it already, and are long
ing to "go home" again. Three of
them returned to their former resi
dences in Madison Parish, La., a fe*w
days ago, the means having been fur
nished them by their late employers
These denied that they had been ill
treated in Louisiana, and said that
they habitually voted the Republican
ticket without molestation. These
men had voluntarily called on a firm
of St. Louis cotton brokers and asked
to have their passage paid for the
homeward voyage. They said they
had no particular reason for leaving
,the South except that they'd "hearn
tell" of Kansas, and "as all de people
was talkin' about comin'," they "jest
bundled up their things and come
along." They had been sick ever
since they came to St. Louis, and
were very eager to get back. One of
them said he meant to warn "all de
folks" against turning their faces up
the river and looking for Kansas.
When he was home, he said, "I had a
nice garden, fourteen hogs, mules and
plow and everything, and could lay
dowa at my ease and enjoy the water
I drank. But I went North, and here
1 am, homesick and nigh distracted.
Folks in the North don't want you
niggahs, and don't you go." There
is, indeed, proof that "folks in the
North" do not want the colored emi
grants. At a meeting recently held in
Wyandotte, Kansas, where there are
1,200 of these expatriated freedmen,
destitute and suffering, it was de
clared and resolved that the com
miunity was not able to take care of
the emigrants any longer, and the
State authorities were called upon for
aid. Of course there are no govern
ment lands in any accessible section
for these people to take up, and the
claim of the "Colored Colonization
Socie:y" of Topeka that quarter sec
tions of good soil are in its control
for gratuticus distribution in close
proximity to that city is utterly false,
as all the* other statements made in
the circular.
To' suffer and be pleasant is almost
im~possible for an adult, and quite so
for a baby. When it is afficted with
Colic, Diarrhoa or other troublesome
disorders use Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup.

ST. Lours, April 17.-A Kansas
City dispatch says a large number of
colored Southern refugees have been
landed by steamboats at Wyandotte,
in an entirely destitute condition,
during the past few days, they occu
pying the churches and public halls
of that place, many sick from ex
posure and dying. Mayor Shelley, of
Kansas City, telegraphed the Secre
tary of War for an order for the issue
of -rations from Fort Leavenworth to
feed them. and Secretary McCrary
replied that he had no authority to do
so ; that Congress was in session and
applications should be made to that
body. A committee has been ap
pointed at Wyandotte to look after
the sufferers. The committee has
issued a call to the citizens of the
United States for relief, stating that

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
The Herald is in the highest respect a Fam

terests of the Pcople of this County and the

Advertising medium offers unrivalled ad
vantages. For Terms, see first page.
Around the World.
Jules Verne has shown how one
can go "around the world in eighty
days." An expedition will leave
New York the 8th of May next
to go round the world, but not
in so short a time ; this is the
"Woodruff Scientific Expedition."
Mr. James 0. Woodruff has had
the plan on foot for several
years. One difficulty in the way
was the high price of American
built steamships. This difficulty
was removed by an Act of Con
gress, March 23, 1878, empowering
the Secretary of the Treasury "to
grant, for the purposes of the
'Woodruff Scientific Expedition
around the World', register for a
foreign built steamship." Mr.
Woodruff then went to Europe and
purchased from the North German
Lloyd Comppany the "General Wer
der," a Clyde built steamer, for
$350,000. She was built in 1874,
and is one of the finest ships on the
sea.
The chief purpose and plan of
the expedition is educational ; the
"General Werder" is to be a float
ing college. She has accommoda
tions for two hundred students and
a faculty. Prof. W. S. Clark, L.L.
D., late President of the Massachu
setts Agricultural College, is Presi
dent of the faculty. The passen
gers are not required to be students;
but the price of the trip is the same
to all-2,500. The expedition
will be gone sixteen months, visit
ing the principal places in Europe
and Asia, and some portions of
Africa, returning by way of San
Francisco. About two-thirds of the
time will be spent on land.
It will no doubt be a great privi
lege to be able to go on this expe
dition ; but those who do go will
pay dearly for it. It has always
appeared strange to us that so
many travelers to Europe should
put themselves under the care of
others, instead of "going on their
own hook." Cook & Jenkins, Tou
rists, have sold tickets to thousands
of travellers during the last ten
years, the purchasers paying~ high
prices for them and then going the
precise route marked out for them,
staying just as long at a place as
the managers please, being required
to stop where and when the tourist
think best-everything arranged
according to rule. Is it possible
that any one can enjoy that sort of
traveling ? Our idea of traveling,
either for pleasure or profit, is to
go when you please, where you
please ; spend little or much to snit
yiur convenience ; see the world
with your own eyes and in your
own way. The idea of a party
of grown men being chaperoned
through Europe like a parcel of
school girls visiting a menagerie is
supremely ridiculous and foolish,
from any point of view. A young
man of ordinary sense and indepen
dence could take the $2,500 and go
to the old world foot loose and free
to follow his own inclinations, see
and learn more of the world, enjoy
himself far better than he possibly
could on this "Scientific" Expedi
tion, spend two years traveling, and
come back with at least $1,000 in
his pocket. The "Woodruff Scien
tific Expedition airound the World,"
is well suited to a large class of
American citizens who have more
money than brains, and no doubt
many such will avail themselves of
the privilege thus afforded.
A resolution was offered in the
Pennsylvania House of IRepresen
tatives the 15th, providing for the
appointment of a committee of ten
Senators and fifteen Representa
tives, including the Speakers of
both Houses, to proceed to San
Francisco to receive and welcome
ex-President Grant on his return to
the jnited States. The resolution
was referred to the Committee on
Federal Relations. His friends
want to give him a good send- off
for the Presidency in 1880.
The U. S. Court.
On the motion to quash the panel
of jurors Judges Bond and Bryan
rendered their decisions the 14th,
the former refusing the motion, the
latter deciding that the panel was
not properly drawn and that the
motion should be granted. The
first case called was that of the
United States vs. Wm. Kerrigan, of
Charleston, charged with assaulting
U. S. Supervisor Freeman on last
election day while in the discharge
of his duty. The following account
of the drawing of the jury exhibits
the working of the infamous test
oath:
C. J. Cooper was called as a ju.
ror and the test oath was applied.
The juror had served in the Con
federate army; could not take the
oath, and was ordered to stand
aside.
Zion Collins, (col.) was next call
ed. He could take the oath. Chal
lenged peremptorily by the de
fense.
D. W. Edwards called; couldn't
take the oath-ordered by the Dis
trict Attorney to stand aside.
W. A. Evans called ; couldn't
take the oath-ordered to stand
aside.
W. J. Elfe, (col.) Asst. Dist. Atty
E. W. M. Mackey announced that
he had no objection to the juror
challenged by the defense.
WIm. C. Goodwin called-couldn't
take the oath ; ordered to stand
aside.
J. W. Gardner called-couldn't
take the oath; ordered to stand
aside.
B. F. Hayes called-took the
oath, and was sworn.
Philip Heller took the oath, and
was sworn.
Jno. Knox couldn't take the oath
-ordered to stand aside.
W. A. Leslie sworn.
J. H. Lindeman sworn.
Geo. McLean took the oath, but
was challenged by the government.
B. M. Milam and A. WV. Moore
couldn't take the oath, and were
ordered to stand aside.
WV. A. Nix, (col.), challenged by
the defense. This closed the per
emptory challenges to which the
defense was entitled.
The jury was filled out with
eight whites and four negroes.
The case was then opened and
tried. Kerrigan was found "guil
ty."
The next case tried was that of
Chas. Liebenwood, of Charleston,
for assaulting a deputy U. S. Mar
shal on election day-not guilty.
Chas A. Levy was tried for vot
ing more than once and found
guilty.
Wanted to Marry.
A Miss S. E. Redmond, of New
York, not long since advertised
that "she would like to marry a
gentleman of comfortable circum
stances residing in the South."
Not long she waited ere a letter
postmarked Hawkinsville, Georgia,
reached her. The correspondence
became animiated, sometimes very
tender on the part of the Hawkins
ville man, who was a planter in
easy circumstances, and just the
kind of husband Miss R. was look
ing for. The lady in due course
stated that it was time to come to
action, and the Georgia lover re
plied that he was willing and 'to
come," which she did, accompanied
by her mother and brother, each
expecting to have a rare old time
on the Hawkinsville farm. After a
speedy trip they arrived at midnight
in front of the mansion which
proved to be a log cabin, its owner
an old grey headed man. Miss R.
shuddered at the sight of ,the an
cient lover, the mother tore her
hair and the brother used 'cuss'
words. Of course there was no
wedding. The farm, according to
an old negro's testimony, "was so
po' dat a ground mole would starve
to def on it." It served her per
fectly right.
The suit by Cornelius Vander
bilt and his sisters against Wmn. H.
Vanderbilt, to set aside the old
Commodore's will, has been con
chded in favor of the will. The
brothers have become friendly, and
William proposes to do the proper
thing for Cornelius. A few days
ago Cornelius paid to the daughters
of the late Horace Greeley over
$80,000, which he borrowed from
their father in his life time.
The Columbians are talking of

The National Bank Question
Is looming up again, and it is very
probable that some effort will be f
made in the 46th Congress, at the i
first regular session, to change the
banking system. The opposition
to the practically exclusive privi
leges now enjoyed by National
Banks is becoming stronger. It is
stated that the reason that three of
our five Congressmen voted against
Randall for Speaker is because he
is a strong advocate of the present
system. An effort will be made to
abolish the tax of ten per cent. on
notes issued by State Banks. Many
think this would be a great benefit
to the country. But we are not so
sure of it. Suppose the ten per
cent. tax were abolished, and State
Banks were allowed to issue their
own notes as money. What would
be the consequence? These notes
would not be as good as greenbacks,
or National Bank notes. They
would not pass at par. No corpo
ration can be as strong as the Uni
ted States government; there can
be no guaranty equal to that which
is given to National Bank notes;
for the faith and credit of the Uni
ted States are pledged for their re
demption. There is no danger of
a failure. We now have a currency
of uniform value all over the coun
try. Remove the ten per cent. tax
and we would, in all likelihood,
soon have bank notes issued by
different State Banks, and all or a
large portion of them circulating at
less than their face value-some at
95, others at 90, 80, 75, and per
haps some as low as 50 cents on
the dollar. This would not. only in
terfere with inter-State commerce
but woulc be a serious trouble in
our local trade. We know very lit
tle about banking; but these are
our impressions. The question is
open for discussion.
The News and Courier Prize
Stury.
Early this year the Charleston
News and Courier oliered -a prize
of $100 in gold for the best serial
story written by a resident of South
Carolina, illustrative of Southern
life before, during and since the
war. Forty-four persons competed
for the prize. The writers were all
unknown to the Editors and to the
Committee who awarded the prize.
Judging from the handwriting the
lady competitors were far ahead of
the men-not one of the sterner
sex receiving even an honorable
mention. The story that takes the
prize is "Ashurst, or the Days that
were." The author is a lady ; her
name has not yet been given, but
will be in a few days. The Comn
Imittee of Award consisted of Rev.
C. S. Vedder, D.D., Rev. J. A.
Chambliss, D.D., and G. Herbert
Sass, Esq. The publication of the
story will be commenced in the
Weekly News Wednesday, April
.30th.
The News and Courier has shown
its characteristic enterprise in offer
ing this prize. Its only object was
to encourage the development of
literature in South Carolina, and
"to preserve the 'recollection of
traits of character and social pecu
liarities and habits that are fast
passing away, and to keep before
the rising generation the memory
of the struggles and sufferings of
the last eighteen years."
Walterboro' in Rtuins--.-Great
Loss of Life and Property.

seat of Colleton County, was struck
by a tornado the 16th instant.
About one hundred houses were
demolished. Mrs. Dr. Geo. M.
Rivers, Philemon Sanders and Benj.
Reynolds, white, and five colored
persons were killed outright. Miss
Emma Rivers, daughter of Dr. R.
was severely, and it is supposed,
fatally injured. Many other per
sons received serious injuries. All
the seven churches were destroyed.
The stores and public buildings all
escaped. The scene was one of in
describable horror, lasting only two
or three minutes. Many families
are left homeless, and there is a
great deal of suffering in conse
quence. The people appeal to all
sections of the State for aid.
The Unveiling of the Confede

The day for unveiling the Con

has been changed' 'from Saturday,
May 10th, to Tuesday, May 13th,
the latter being a more convenient I
day for visitors. The railroads will
give reduced rates to those desiring
to attend. We hope to be able to
give the rates in our next issue.

Nouth Carolina APresbytery
Met in the Presbyterian Church at
Abbeville C. H., on Wednesday even
ing, April 9th, and was opened with a
sermon by Rev. R. A. Fair, the re.
tiring Moderator.
There were present during the meet
ing of the body sixteen ministers and
about twenty five ruling elders. This a
Presbytery now has nineteen minis
ters, four licentiates, and thirty-nine [
churches, and is embraced within the v
Counties of Pickens, Oconee, Ander- S
son, Abbeville, Edgefield and New
berry. Until the meeting of Synod tj
last October, Greenville, Spartanburg *
and Laurens Counties were also in
cluded within its limits, but now these P
d
three Counties, together with Union o
County, form the new Presbytery of
"Euoree." a
Rev. D. E. Frierson, D.D., was
elected Moderator, and Maj. S. P.
Deody, of Walhalla, assistant Clerk.
The narratives from the churches
did not show a very healthful state of
religion, yet in some of the churches
in Anderson County several additions i
to the membership were reported. r
These-additions in a large degree were
the result of the earnest and faithful e
labors of Presbytery's late Evangelist,
the Rev. John G. Law. C
The Executive Committee of Do
mestic Missions were directed to pros
ecute evangelistic work in Edgefield i
County, through licentiate A. E. Nor-.
ris, whose past labors in that County
were highly commended, and in An- I
derson County through licentiate
Brownlee, who also was reported as
faithful in his work, and acceptable to
the people amongst whom he has la
bored, and through Rev. Hugh Mc
Lees in a part of Anderson and in
Pickens, also the Committee were di
rected to use all the ministers and li
eentiates of Presbytery, who have not
regular charges, in evangelistic work.1
The most encouraging report made
to Presbytery was the fact that every r
one of the thirty-nine Churches be- e
longing to Presbytery had contributed j
something to the great cause of For- i
eign Missions.
But only seven Sabbath School re-t
ports from the churches were sent up
to Presbytery, and this was discour- g
aging. The Sabbath School is an im- r
portant auxiliary of the church, and (
if it is not sustained something serious
is wrong and the church is the suffer- e
er.
Rev. J. B. Adger, D.D., and Elder i
J. J. Norton were elected principals, j
and Rev. D. E. Frierson, D.D., and t
Elder J. M. Baxter alternates to the (
General Assembly, which is to meet
in May, in the city of Louisville. Ky- a
Two young men, Messrs. Simpson (
and McLees, after the usual examina- ib
tions before Presbytery, were licensed i
to preach the Gospel.
The pastoral relation between Rev. t
Dr. Adger and Roberts Church (An- a
derson County) was dissolved ; and 14
Dr. Adger is to become the pastor of c
the church at Pendleton and Mt. Zion 14
Church about eight miles from Pen.
lleton.
Rev. John G. Law was dismissed
to Charleston Preshytery; also a call fi
from the Presbyterian Church at Dar- .
ington C. H., (Harmony Presbytery) ~
had been put in Mr. Law's hands be
fore his dismissal.
Providence Chnrcb, in Abbeville
County, was selected as the place for
he next meeting of Presbytery, and
Wednesday night before the fourth tl
sabbath in October as the time. G
The meeting of Presbytery was si
leasant, mostly harmonious and quite "I
aborious. Its sittings each day wereA
romn 9 A. M. to 3 P. M., and from 8 t
o 10 and 101 P. M. The length of e

imatic poisons.
This is a compound remedy, prepared with
gsetentiflc skill from vegetable ingredients, which
raely fals to enre the severest esses of ChfBs
r andPeverandthecocomitant disorders..Such
e a remedy the necessities of the people in malari
0u5 disricts,demand. Its greet superiority over
dany other medicine yet discovered for the cure
of Intermittent. is, that it contains no quinine or
mineral, and those who take It are free froua
danger of qulniam or any injurious effects, and
are as healthy after using It as before. It has
been extensively employed during the last thirty
years in the treatment of these distressing din..
orders, and so unvarying has been Its success
that It has gained the reputation of being Infalli
ble. It can, be safely recommended as a sure
remedy and specific for the Fever aand Ague of
the West, and the Chills and Fever of the
South, which, once broken up by It, do not
return until the disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which aris
from the Irritation of this poison, such as Nen.
p raia, Rheumatism, Gout, He=a.he
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Ga.
tarrh, Asthmna, Palpitation, Splemis
ADbetions, Hysterics, Pain in the Blow.
els, Colie, Paralysis, and derangement of
the Stomach, all of which become Intermittent
or periodical, have no speedier remedy
AYE's AOUE CURE, which cures them all
and protects the system from future atacks.
T' a preventive, It Is of Immense service In
communities where Fever and Ague
alt stays the development of the disease If
on the first approach of the premonitorysy
toms. Travellers and temporary residents
thus enabled to defy these disorders, andf
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of
protection this remedy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising
torpidity, It is an excellent remedy; Itit
Sthis organ Into healthy activity, andprd
many remarkable cures where otherm
fail.
