Respectfully. Laurens C. H., S C., May 20. 1870. CARD FROMI 3CNINCHI. A letter directed to G. W. Shell. -and signed by those claiming to be his enemies, has been read to me. In that letter the life of Mr. Shell is threatened, unless he releases me by the 26th day of June next; and he is charged with having decoyed me into jail and then of having betrayed mue. This is to certify that I surrendered and came to jail of my own free will; that in no manner-neither directly or * indirectly-did SIr. Shell influence' me in the course I pursued. I did speak to Mr. Shell as to the course I should pursue and he declined to give me any advice, saying he would assume no responsibility in the matter. 1 have always regarded Mr. Shell as one of my best friends, and I yet so regard him. During my misfortune he has kindly cared for my poor old mother, for my wife and~ for my little ones, and this, [ doubt not, the public will agree with me, is to act the part of a friend.

It is passingly strange, that a peo p!e so generous and humane as those of the South, are so indifferent con cerning their cemeteries. It seems that most Southern burial places are regarded as spots rather to be avoided and dreaded, than as places to be cared for and loved._ I have often beheld, with dismay, the little care which most people be stowv upon the last resting place of loved ones ; indeed, in traveling over c,ur country one is almost filled with horror by the dilapidated condition of -The Cities of our Dead." Instead of flowers and shrubbery, sedge and brambles cover most of them. There, where the g:round should be ex quisitely dressed and wrought into beautiful parterres, the mole bur rows and the rat- builds it's pretty path undisturbed; there the par tridge builds her rest unseared ; there the 'timid rabbit repairs as a place~ worthy to aheiter him fro:u the jawsj (f th keen~ fauged bound ; there the - 'us ficXas ::idin place, for s'.o is too suerCitiUus to vizsit the - red roreelnet iU sareb~ for im ; therelthe whip pdorthill sends fort it's hil is and eotref the - ton e n eanhlooes ofai the tms Iw echo'.tesdr:zo amongcthedtombs.

I am sitting among :he tombs. No fence encloses the meot. Grazing stock are traipling lown the mounds-; and the finclv polished monuments are but so many .vrgets for the well-aimed stones of the mischievous little negro school boy. rhe neglected spot is. indeed, a dis mal scene. Beneath :ny feet I feel something hard, I reumove the leaves, and, to my urprise, discover a prostrate tomb. Agaiii mv attention is directed to the falling palings. which enclose the spot where sleep the bodies of men once loved and honored by the state and church. I am at a loss to realize why it has harpened, that a cemetery situated in the very heart of a populous and wealthy country, became des-titute of a feuce. But the no rence law has taken effect in some counties ; perhaps this is one of those counties, but if such were the case the stock would not be allowed to run ad libitum; such, indeed, is not the case. But, alas city authorities. I mean the mayor and the officers of the "City of the Dead," have long since met in solemn assembly, and have decreed indepen dent of the executive, judicial and legislative departments of the govern. ment of the State of South Carolina, that, WHEREAS, the fence around this cemetery has decayed and fallen down, and, whereas, timber, money and labor are growing scarce, and whereas, most of all things else energy is lacking among our people, there fore be it resolved and furthermore decreed that now and forever here after, no fence, neither of rails, boards, plank, brick, stone, iron nor of any other material be allowed to enclose said cemetery. The legislation of this independent body was certainly unwise, to say the least of it ; but, nevertheless, there are hundreds of just such independent little governments throughout our State, and the decrees are going forth, as it seems, unalterable as those of the Medes and Persians, that to whatever else the attention of the peo ple may be directed, be it firmly re solved, that as little labor and atten tion as possible be bestowed upon the Cities of our Dead." rHome Circle. Mackey in Washington. His Opinion of the Carpet-Bagger Corbin. WAsHrNGToN, May 18.-"Judge," said the Gazette man to-day to the iw mortal and unique T. J. Mackey, of South Carolina, who stumped the State for Hayes and Hampton and ad vocated the admission of Butler to the Senate, "how is the ease of your friend Corbin coming along ? Got that toehing tribu.te you paid to Corbin in the South Carolina convention in 1872? It might advance his in terests some to have it repeated at this trying hour. "No, sir, I assure you I have no copy of it with me but if anything I can say will be of service to Corbin you are welcome to it. I can repeat the clauses in that speech which in duced him to threaten my life. It was in 1872 when he announced that he could not indorse the administra tion of Scott or the nomination of Moses, on the ground that they were corrupt. Sir, it inflamed me to in dination when I knew that Corbin was at that very time holding 13 remunerative offices in the State. So I arose in the convention and said: 'Mr. President, the dwellers along the Nile have a custom of erecting col ums on its banks for the purpose of indicating by the mud mark on these shafts how high the river has risen, for in that way they are enabled to predict what the size of the harvests will be, as in Egypt the whole charac ter of the crops depends on the over flow of the Nile. This column is called a nilometer. Sir, D. T. Corbin is the nilometer of South Oarolina pol ities. You can always judge of the mud tide of corruption by watching the prosperity of the man. Some despoilers, jeweled in the tears of a betrayed and plundere d commonwealth, are content to dally with their victim and feel but the touch of her soft and ensitive hand; but this monster, in his greed and lust, clasps her naked to his breast." "How did this strike him ?'" "Sir, he proceeded at once to buy a revolver and I provided myself with a hot.aun, which I did not use as I saw bim ~next with a carpet-bag in his band. lie is immensely rich and he is a bigamist so notorious that I once suggested in a speech that another ofice with fat salary should be pro vided for him. that of superintendent of domestic relations. HIe will never be confirmed by the Senate for the place of Chief Justice of Utah, much as he is fitted for that locality in one respect. I understand he threatens to open a law offiee in Charleston but I trust a protecting Providence will induce him to change his mind." "Pratical Science."

Of course, we did not approve the way it was man aged a few years ago, when politi eal power was in the hands of the Radicals, and the money appropri ated by law for education was ap propriated by public officers to their own use. Now, since the adniinis tration has got into honest hands the benefits of the system are being developed. We have witnessed within the past week some results, in our midst, of free schools. The two exhibitions of the colored schools, that of the school at New berry and that at Helena, have proved unmistakably that the sys tem is working well and that the funds are being used properly. The colored children, who are the most benefitted by the free schools, are learning rapidly. We are not of the number who believe that a little learning is a dangerous thing, and that the colored people will be any less valuable as laborers by be ing able to read and write. On the contrary they will become more valuable to the community as their minds are improved. It will give them more pride of character, make them more honest; they will be better able to realize their true status as citizens, to c.mprehend their duties and discharge them more thoroughly. As they become more intelligent they will be less susceptible to the influence of cor rupt and designing men, who wish to use them as tools to their own advancement. Another good re snit of the free school is this : the col ored people must r-ecognize the fact that the white people aie educating them. The whites pay almost the entire~ tax .to support the schools, because they own near-ly all the property. This proves to the blacks that the whites are their friends, and all the ravings of such men as Wendell Phillipps, B3laine & Co., cannot persuade them otherwise when they have the fact practically exemplified to them in this way. These peop)le are among us. _y the laws they are citizens and enti tled to a voice and vote in our gov ernment- It is better for them and foi- us that they be so taught that they can exercise their rights of ci tizeniship intelligently. All rig-ht thinking men must be gratified to see that they are making prop)er and diligent use of their advan tages. A big railroad war has been go ing on in the UTnited States Cour-t in Charleston for the past week or two. Fifteen non-resident bond hoders, holding first mortgage bonds guaranteed by the State, have begun suit ag-ainst the G. & C. R. R., the trustees of different motgages of the company, and cer tain judgment creditors. The p)lain tiffs charge that the action of Gibbes and other-s against the G. & C. R. R., was collusive and fictitious, and they p)ray that the Court may con s ru-e the different acts of the Legis l-ature, that they may be subrogated to the rights of the State underi the statutory lien, that said lien be es tablished and foreclosed, and that in the meantime t.he appvoitment of Reiver made by the Circuit Court of Richland County be an nulled and that a Receiver be ap pointed by the U. S. Court. Chief Justice Waite r-efuses the motion for the appointment of a Receiver. A proposition is on foot to lay a Pacific Cable from the California coast to ,Japan, by way-of the Ha waiian Islands. Cyrus W. Field, who did more than any other man to make the Atlantic Cable a suc cess, has subscribed $100,000. The Hawaiian Islands are expectQd to put down $1,000,000 ; and the re maining funds will be raised in London, Paris, New York and San Francisco. Geo. W. McCrar-y, Secretary of W~,v 1in~ br~n n.nnoin fed eTndpo of Corain Arrested. Ex-United States District Attor ney Corbin, who is in Charleston as counsel in the railroad cases before Chief Justice Waite, was held to bail the 23d instant, at the instance of the Attorney-General of the State, in a civil suit pending against him for recovery of $24,000. The ori gin of the suit is as follows: In 1875 the State retained Corbin to prosecute a claim against a phos phate mining company for phos phate royalty due the State. A judgment for $28,000 was recovered and Corbin paid iito the State Treasury $200, retaining the bal ance, which he claiied! as counsel fees. The State purposes to allow him only $3,000 and expenses, which was the award of a referee, as his fee, and the present suit against him was instituted for $24, 000. Corbin gave satisfactory bond to answer the suit and abide the process of the court. His bonds men are Alva. Gage, J. H. Fisher, C. H. Baldwin, G. I. Cunningham and R. M. Wallace. Corbin says he does not expect the Senate to confirm his nomina tion as Chief Justice of Utah. He proposes to resume the practice of his profession (law-) at Charleston, and to live there the balance of his life. Amending the Electoral Count. The Committee appointel by the House for the purpose have agreed upon a bill amending the manner of counting the electoral votes for President. The most important change proposed is that which pro vides that in case of two sets of electors, both claiming to have been elected, from the same State, the decision of the highest judicial tri bunal of the State shall control un less overruled by both houses. If there be two set of electors and no such decision by the highest judi cial tribunal, then neither sets of votes shall be counted unless both houses concur. Williams, Birnie & Co., Cotton Brokers, of New York, have lost $315,000 by speculating in "fu tures." The firm has been dissolv ed, and all debts are being paid. Gco. W. Williams, of Charleston, senior member of the firm, publish es a card, in which be saiys that the firm of Geo. W. Williams & Co., of Charleston, and the Carolina Sav ings Bank lose nothing by the trans action. Congress. Congress is tinkering on the "sil ver bill," which proposes to make silver legal tender to the amount of $20. The President has vetoed the Legislative approp)riation bill, on account of the "political riders." Congress will hardly adjourn be fore July. John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury, and Alonzo Taft, ex-At torney-General, are the most prom inent candidates for Governor of Ohio. Sherman pretends not to want the position; but that is only a political dodge, and if he sees any chance he will wade in. They do say that Sherman aspires to the Presidency. A white man named William Fer guson, of Anderson County, shot and killed a colored woman the 14th instant. The cause of the deed was, that the woman accused him of attempting to outrage her. The jury in the case of the State of Georgia vs. John Jones, ex-State Treasurer-civil suit on official bond-returned a verdict the 24th for $92,195. His two sureties are good for the amount. Ex-Gov. Chamberlain is in Char leston as attorney in the railroad cases before the U. S. Court. There are over two hundred con victs in the Mississippi penitentiary under life sentence. The Missionary Board of the Northern Presbyterian Church is $62,000 in debt. New York has rcduced the legal rate of interest from 7 to 6 per centumi. Every mother-in law should reeomu wyend D)r.

'sttrday the Legisative bill pass L' tiw' 'n:de. It uoes to the H1 ouse fx :: i'n ( 1n unimportant amind t Ind then to Air. 111ayes ftr a i v,to. it is well understood that he wil! veto it, though there is not :I wVd in it of which he has not ex pr,ssed appruval. He, who fraudu 'ily holds office through an unexam !.I. (I stretch of the doctrine of "S,tLte 1 ri;.;hts," will dise(ver inl this patr"otlc ai constitutional measure an asser tifn of "State supremacy over the I-' (dral Govern ment." After this veto, and a discussion of it in Congress, it is probable that the two appropriation bills will be passed, or current appropriations extended by resolutiol, and that Congress will then adjuurn. Addresses will be issued by th- Congressional Coiinittees of both p:rties, for general circulation, ex pilaining the positions taken. Thus will end, for the time, a memorable contest, to be renewed whenever Con gress shall meet again. The questions are whether or not the people of the different States shall hold elections free from unnecessary and extra Con stitutional interference, through troops or civil officers, by the Federal Gov ernthent, and whether or not intelli. gent people in the South shall be de prived of the right to sit on juries. The "sober second thought" will bring all reasonable people to the Democratic side on both these questions. The free coinage silver bill of Mr. Warner received a black eye in the House yesterday. It will be up again to-day, however, and its friends still have hopes. Most of them, however, are inexperienced legislators, and, I believe, are entirely mistaken as to their prospects of success. I think the bill will be killed, and that with out a veto. There is a noticeable absence of Democrats among the callers at the White House since the veto by Mr. Hayes of the Ladd bill. Those Dem ocrats who had up to that time put some faith in what was said to them there have apparently learned better. They don't believe in Hayes now any more than Hlamlin or Chandler did two years ago. Some ingenious person, down South, is making with a pen exact imitations of $10 and S20 U. S. notes. The pa per and the execution of the work are wonderfully like those of the genuine notes. But when two "counterfeits" are placed together differences are readily distinguished. They come from New Orleans and are probably the work of some Hayes elector, or other Radical politician, appointed by Sher man to a lucrative place where there is no work to do, and who be guiles his time by following up his old tricks. 'They were a bad lot-those Hayes electors and strikers in Louisi ana. Three of the bills have been re ceived at the Treasury. Senator Bruce is a happy father. The child enters life with the name of Roscoe Conkling Bruce. There will be no difficeulty in reproducing on the boy's head that curl, which, on the forehead of New York's great states man, has for so many years been the envy of men and the admiration of women, and on which, with a com mand of long and sounding words, and a good voice, has been built one of the highest reputations in the mod ern Republican party.

The Latest Invention in Useful Household Articles. Within the last few years there has been c expended a great deal of inventive thought and genius upon what may properly be class ed as household articles, the most noted re suts of which are the production of the sew ing machine, the wringer, the washing ma chine, the carpet sweeper, &c. Almost every week we chronicle the advent of some newp invention by which the cares and labors of housekeeping are lessened, and woman's work made easier. The newest thing to challenge our attention and gladden the heart of the housekeeper, is, ~ what is called the NOYELTY BRUsH HOLD ER, CARPET STRETCHER and SWEEPER, a very simple contrivance designed to firmly hold in position any kind of a brush or dust er; having an extension handle that enables one to wash or dust windows, walls or ceil ings without the aid of a step ladder. That is one of its conveniences, and it is also one of the best carpet sweepers in the market," holding the brush firmly at an angle. It cleans the carpet thoroughly. raises no dust, and does not wear the carpet like the ordina- -. ry broom or brush, and will outwear a half dozen brooms. As a handle for the scrub hing brushi it is the best device ever made, no more kneeling on the floor, no more back acers or sore fingers. As a carpet stretcher alone it is worth its ( cost, as a carpet of any size can be laid even ly without any of the labor and vexation usually attending such work. It is strong, simnpie, thoroughly made, cannot get out of ordr, has no screws, lever or hinges, is comn pact, cheap and durable. It is manufactured by Brown & Co., Cin cinnati, the well known manufacturers of useful household articles, and is sold only by .. their agents to housekeepers.
