The sooner he quits the State the better for him, for h.e may find himself, if he remains here long, in the State Penitentiary. -Cass Carpenter, the revenue man, esad'e is afraid of the Rebels send i4jhi i-.to the Penitentiary, if lie re 'se in South Carolina, and there f&%'1fhas resigned and is going lti .

Iis said that Elliott, the coal -black negf'o, from Boston, who has figured ir1 ottth Carolina as a member of Ct ress, Speaker of the llonse of R4besentatives of the State, Attor IlOWe.enieral, and candidate tor the UnifedBtates benate, has been so leJ4Jf.his stea'lings in the way of fore bodb tand carriages, and lux urious furpiture, that he is too poor to teave the Sate with~ his family! Wouldtit not be well'to take np' a subscription for this nonorable gen tlisman, in order to enable him to res tit't to Boston? Gov. Orr said be was the .most dangerous nogro in South Carolina, and a p)erfect savage. Hie has more talent than any of his race in South Carolin a. it is thonght thae in :UB i.. io of Sonator Whittemore's frauds will relisre the Swmate of his baneful inn fluenco.

He was originally a preacher of the 3ospel, and he must now think that 'here is no peace for the wicked in pqlitie*. It.is to be hoped that he will repent of his sins and resume he pulpit for his welcoming frienda n Boston. -Beecher will no doubt 1xtend to him the right hand of good ellowship from Plymouth Church. It is said that Senator Nash, of Richland, is also to have his frauds >n the Treasury, in the way of chain ,agne, brandy and cigars, ventilated, ind that he too will be expelled. The Honorablo Senator can go back to iis originOl vocation f blacking )oots and waiting in hotels. But it s surmised that he has been more )rudent of his stealings than Elliott, tud has a competency laid up for all uture misfortuies. Judge Mackey says that Byrd, the 3enator from Fairfield, will have to init the Senate next week to answer or* his criles similar to those of Dublin Whlker, and will in all probs, 1bility go with him to the Peniten :lary. Articles of impeachment against Judge Wright for drunkenness, are h beingsretmed. by the 1louse A Representatives, and lis Honor inteids resigning his scat on the benchl to escape conviction. Judge \V right is a bl:ick negro from Pennsy 1 Valia, who was elected to the Su preme Court several years ago and has disgraced the bench ever since. Ile will of course leave tbe State after his conviction or resignation, and re, turn to Pennsylvania. It is thought that Dunn, Taft, and a hio-t of othier carpet-baggers, will soon ful. .w thbe example of Chamber lain, Corbin and Card. zi. They will all seek %ome more congenial clime since the ascendancy of the Demo cratic party in South Carolina. It is doubtful whIe?her "honest" John ("Iago") Patterson wvill ever return to South Carolina~ again. The five years of good stealing in the State which P?attereson boasted of some time since, have passed by. Hie came liere from Pen ns,levania and bought hiis seat in the United States Senate by the most barefaced bribery. And for this bribery ho may at any time be sent to the Penitentiary. Thomas, a mulatto from Boston, and protege of Sumner's, was a member of the Legisluture from Newb)erry, and expelled from the ILouse tihe other day. Hie says now that he intends to vote heareafter the Democratic ticket. But it is thought he will leave the State. Mr. Pope, a young Demiocratic lawyer, will be elected to fill his vacancy. Straker, a West India negro, fronm Or'angeburg, was also expelled, and it is hoped he will return to his native clime, or, like Thlomias, beco a Dem ocr at. Now, it it would please God, in his mercy, to cause Franklin J. Moses and all his thieving crew of scalawags, wh> have been traitors to their State and every hoenorable feeling for the last ten years, to mtake their ex odus from South Carolina with the carpet- baggere, what a great blessing it would be to society. LiTese "un wvorthy sons of the soil" are meaner and viler than the carpet--baggers, for they were "to the manor born." If' they had any sense of shame left, they would seek some other coun,try in which to enjoy thegir a .aings, plunder and t.hirty pieces oF silver. if they wer.as- ueptibleu of ..o norae as was Judas Iseariot they ArouId do as hi did, "go out and hang T ;hemselve.L" But whilst they con inne to Pabnse tbe patience". o(f all onorable men by remainitig ben*, ae [ t *as said Cataline did by remaining in the Roman Senate after his con- J ;piracV'.was w.el- known, they shon1d w e i,hdq to feel' the -scorn. an d6n- l teniothe peoyle which the lave io, ong and justly m6.1ted. We would advise them in their g 3xodus not to stop in Now York or % the New England States, as the car- ti petsbaggers propose doing; but to go d to Australis, where they will find a C rew and rich country of Jande, filled a with fit associates and congenial ff ipirits, who have not been so fortu- k ikte as they have, in escaping the t4 penalties of the law for swindling, I stealing and forgery. The convicts g ient there by the British government o will no doubt receive them with i >pen arms, and duly appreciate their S uperior Spartan virtue of concealing f, their innumerable thefts. They will e likewise there have the consolation ot b knowing that "they have left their whole country for their country's 2 good." And there will be' no one Ii there to remind them of their treason d to their country, their race and v honor! B. F. PERRY. i Greenville, S. C. May 6, 1877. 1 WASINGTON, May 19.-The Phila- 3 detphia and Baltimore Conference of 8 the African Methodist Episcopal i Church held here to day had a long ( report submitted to them from a con mittee, in which it was maintained r that outrages upon the clored poo- a pelc continic in Sounth Carolina, Loui siana and Georgia. The commifttee theretore recoumend that the Bishop and conference take into considera. tion the ap olitment of a committee to wait on President Hayes and re spectfully request that he shall make such al)pointinents in ju,icial and ministeral oflcs in the States men tioned as will secure an impartial ex~ ecution and adui.iration of the law in said States, and further that he hold Hampton and N icholls to the letter and spir-it of the agreement which they have made with him, to the end tha~t members of thuis church and all other citizens may be protected in accor dance therewith; and further, in regard tco the consideration of pe titions circulated for the removal ot the Marshal of this District, that he should require legal disqualification 4 and not popular excitement to infu ence him ini his decision. It is st.ated thamt Russia's total for,h ces aro estimated at 44,457 officers and 1,685,786 mon. Of this aggregate 21, 557 officers and 857,240 mon are in active service; the remainder being in the reservo or in garrison or polico duty. Turkoy has 203,700 active soldiers, with reserves, police, &c., making a total of 486,100. Russia is acting on the offensive, This gives Turkey somewhat the advantage, as her for-~ cos would necessarially be more con, contratod, and Turkey has a much bettor war floot-hor navy consisting of about or.o hundred war vessels, while Russia has not more than forty. Turkey has fifteen iron clads now in the Black Sea. An old pioneer, who believed that "what was to be would be," lived in a region infested with Indians. lie always took his gun with him, and once, findong that some one of his faimily had boerrowed it, he would not go without it. His friends rallied him, saying that there was no dan ger' of the Indians, as anyhow, be would not die before his time camne. "Yea," said old Leathiei stockings, "but suppose08 I was to meet an Induian and his time was come, it wouldn't do not to have my gun." What color can a blinjd man most n asily distinenish?

WAT SoUTHRM lIEO. rasslated from Sobiebertl's Guerre Ciile.] But let -vs Vass to the origizal ackson, whose short life is so filled ith heroism, and therefore would md so many charms to an extende4 iography that it Is vet-y 'dilcm4t td )tAne one's self to sketching hie reat characteristics. Gen. Stone ,all Jackson had nothing in his ex )rior appearance which would in icate a general of so great merit. If a medium and unerect statue, wkward in his movements, he per-. bctly resenibled a scholar, with his een, black eyes and pleasant coun-a 3nance, enclosed in a black beard. lie long black hair, his precise lan tiage, and the complete negligence F his bearing, did not modify the npression that he produced as a >ldier, the less as he was not a skill il cavalier, and that he trotted not legautly on a thin, brown horse, now econe famous. General Jackson was born January 1, 1824. Sprung from parents with ttle wealth, he was at an early age estined to a military career. He ras educated at West Point, on leav. ig which place he entered the artil )ry. In the campaign of 1847, gainst Mexico, he distinguised him Dif to such a degree that he was [on commissioned first lieutenant. lis brilliant conduct in the battle of ontra Chand ihurubusco obtained 0r him the grade of captain, and fter the battle of Chepultepec he v broted major. Bat te cli nate so badly affected his health that le was forced to resign in 1852, and o accept a profe6sorship at the Mili ary Institute. In this vocation he listinguished himself by his origina ity. Little liked by the cadets whom eo alienated by his pedantry and everi-ies, ie was frequently the ob ect of caricatures, and received a tuantity of' nick names, such as 'Old P'om,' etc. It the wvar of secession had not af orded him occasion to put into play is brilliant military ghalities, he vould, Afnost likely, have passed brougb life, like muiany thousands be ore him, as a simple individual, who vould have boeen rendered conspicu >Us more than in any other wanner >y his originality. In 1861, at the tge of 37 years, he was called to the ~ommand of'a small corpos of obser vation at IIarper's Ferry, and after ~hat debut it could have been per eoived that lhe possessed distinguished alents as a general; not only in the ~killhul preparation of his troops, but iso by his judgment in conceiving tnd executing his plans. A fter the bilitary operations in which he was 3ngaged, of which there has been an uccount in thlis work, it is no0 longer necessary to refer to his military alents; but there is much untold bout h:s character that is of in :erest. General Jackson was a Presbytes rian and resembled Cromwell in be ing not only the military but spirit Lial chief of his soldijers. IIe remained Faithful to his peculiar belief; did nothing without prefacing it with ani ardent prayer, so tbat his men, whc were attached to him with a most profound love, saw him, so to speak, surrounmded with an ideal halo, while Lie himself drew from this initimate union of invincible force,. and in con temnpt of his personal safety, comn mnitted into the hands of Providence. ELe had a zeal for the service, and an activity in the excution of just measures, the result of which was to make all mediocrities subser vient to bis will. It waus here his force con listed, that acquired the absolute confidence of his men, and gave him a boldues almost joyous, which re. Ilected itseit on his face when he ex% seated a movemout. lJiut it was not paly just before the batije t b.. prayed. His aegro servon& jaI(jot him,''Massa, on morning of tbig bat% t1ipraY so muS1h? but evef dur lngihe battlet4vtben he coutd not obtan .victory; then in- very thieke"l of the fight,' he wld raise his itra s it "o -appeas the -heavens. He alVayWdttributed to God the victo rm he Sain4 s AV formerly OGs. tavus Adolphus, of tweeden He died with the same heroism and in the same faith in which he had lived. Only one, who like myself, ba4 been an eye witness, could form an idea of the regrets and of* the profoundest sadness that his death caused in the army. General Lee was particularly struck by the blow. It was Gnei senau that was missing to Blucher. When General Lee received the news of the amputation of General Jackson's arm, ie wrote: "Y6u are better off than I am, for you have mly Icest your left, I have lost my right arm." His last words were, "order A. P. Hill to prepare,for,action." As long as military history exists, Juckson will be enumerated among its noblest heroes, and every soldis erly heart will be joyously moved at the recital of the exploits of this va liant and pious worrior. The Black Hills Lying Club. They have a Lying Club out in the Black Hills. They compared notes iecently over a camp fire. One said: "WhliI.was coming to the Hills I looked for Indians until I could see a mosquito a m1le *way." Another said that his eyes were weak, but he could hear gnats jumping around on the rocks four miles off. The next man had listened for Indians until he heard the mountain sheep light on their horns in the Big Horn Moun tains, 300 miles away. The fourth, with his head on his pillow, had strainled his ear until he heard the Chinee nailing up tea boxes. The fifth, in crossing the Rocky Moun tains, had found a petrified forest big trees turned into solid st one. As he loitered on the edge a deer started across the valley and was transtormed in a moment into soilid stone. A bird flow past him, and, perching upon a branch began to sing. Sud denly the bird was changed to stone The song she was singing was alst petrified, hanging down from th< beak of the bird-a cold, cold stone The good thing in these lies, whici will help to vindicate the populat dictum thiat;thiere is no unmitigatec evil, is that they contain a mora which a good many pepople will d< wedl to find out before they start foi "the Hills" or in any other quest o sudden riches without a mightj ef fort. It was Douglass Jerrold, we believ, who wittily said that Napoleon'sd in vasion of Russia was like Castle reagh's assaulL upon English gramn mar-"stopped by the elements.' We,now learn that the only equiva lent in the Japanese languasge for the English word baptism or immersiot is soaking. A ludierors illustratior of its application is tlhe following from the Baptist translation of thi Bible into Japanese, which that goot orthodox authority, the Alliance says greatly astonished the Japs: "In those days came John th< soaker, preaching the soaking of re pecntanIce. Repent and be soaked every one of you." Spend y our time in nothing whicLa you know must be repentted of. Spend it in nothiug which you could not review with a quiet conscience on your dying bed. Spend it iri nothing which you might niot safely in p)rop)erly be found doing, if deatha should surprise you in the fact. Wore news--in a~ naPur bustle. P*ther. hor 01"D"Q*V1g~ 8even 4on years ago Tim IhEyI, a 6hyog man of gVout efghten .feOs o age, arrived in Vew York om his1 hpop in Dublin. Ile h*d a little rpstation as a jig dancer, but that was all, While on hi way to this vountry, be,conoqived the Adea of dssang 4jgiJg or wooden-. botton'" shoe , at sorxs' he put his foot 'on this country he ordered to be made a pair of shoes with wooden soles. On each one of the heels be had nailed an old fashioned large sized copper cent. We tried a dance and succeeded. Immediately he secured an engagement as a clog dancer. His idea was a good one, and his fancy steps, that would not have any particdlar attention in an ordinary shoe, created a sensation. Soon he had many imitators, many of whom turned out to be better dan cers than the "father" of clog dan cers, as Tim Hayss was everywhere recognibed to be. Some of them made money and kept it, but, not.. withstanding all that Hayes made, lie died in the Washington Poor House hospital on Saturday night last.-. About four years ago he got so low that no manger would employ him. To raise money enough to buy the whiskey he needed, he frequently danced a step or two in the low dives in New York. Three years ago he ran himself down so low that he could not work at all. Consumption had a strong hold on him, and, being without money.an4 friende, and be ing too to kuuckle down to any o Pprofessional beeirethre,he went e poor hsnee inThiladel phia to.4e. .He improved somewhat severat weeks ago, and, being al.. lowed g short liberty outside the hospital,4.aised a small sum of money and cam to this city in a dying con dition. -U6 applied for an epgage ment at a Uriety theatre, saying, "I know I am 3ding, and I want to die with my clogs on." He was sent to a boarding house near by and a physician employed to attend him. Bemng just as proud as ever, he did not like to be kept at the expense of a friend, and he .expressed a desire to be sent to the poor honse or hos pital, otherwise known as the Wash ington Asylum. He was there but one week when lie expired. He has been reported dead several times, and has on several occasions read obitu aries over his own death. "The baby has got a neow tooth, but the old lady is laid up with a cold in the head," remarked a gentleman to a defeated candidate. "Well ," said the gentleman, slowly, "before the election you used to take me aside and ask me how my family w as coming on, and i've been liunt -ing all over town to tell you, and that's the way you talk to me. But it don's make any difference I voted for the other candidate, anyhow." A Kansas farmer purchased a re volver fo,r his wife, and insisted op target practice, so that she could de.. fend her house in case of his absence. After the bullet had been dug out of his leg and the cow buried, he said ho guessed that she'd better shoot with an ax. Vanderbilt igas not a man of iron will, but it was a willI the lawyers Swanted to get at. It is a similar fact that there are more females on the Isle of Man than females. A Danbury fop carried an umbrel Ia "to keep the perfume from blow.. ing out of his hair." The most unpopular form 6f tnask. ed ball is the boarding house codfish cake. The transient guest, before taking a room in a strangs hotel, looks over the register to see if Kate Claxton's name is there.
