Butler's immigrants. who were parading the streets with their wives ard childreii, taking in tho sights. TIey woro from Poland and were hearty, stout looking people. Col. Butler hu settled already about one hundred faimilies in the State, and says he colid find plhces for a thousand more at this time if' he had them. lie hist learnied to speak "iD)L tch" fluently, and says M r. Brown, his (f'icient clerk, talks "Pole " 1ie has broken the i(c', and we expect a ilr~go influx of immigrants next fall and winter. Federal Appointments. The Prosident has appointed Judge Samuel W. Melton, District Attorney for this State, and Absalon Blythe, of G roon ville, United States Marshal. Thoso appointments give very general satisfacti on to the better class of our people, and could not have been bot tored insido the Republican party. They are both natives of tho State and men of ability and character, and a decided improvement on the Fed oral appointments heretofore madec for the State. We presume there will bo no opposition in the Senate to their confirmation. TVaft, who has recoived the appouintment of Postmaster at C'harleston, is tho reverse of Melton andl Blytho. lie is a carpet bagger and a hater of' the native whites. There will be a fight over his confir mtation, and we trust ho may be de feated. Shoe Manufactory. The Directors of' dhe Penitentiary at their meeting last week, leased one hu*ndred convicts to Mr. Dibert, of Ne w Jersey, for a period of five years. Mr. Dibert proposes to manufacture shoes, and says with the hundred con.. vicLs he can turn out seven hundred pairs daily, lie pays 50) cents per day for tilty adult convicts, and 37 cents per day for women, to the num bor of fifty, and if there is not that ntumber of wvomen then boys under 16 years of age to make out the num, ber at the same price. AMr. Dibert will move to the State with hia family, and says he will bring eight or ten more families with himn. Hie has been working convicts in New Jersey foti a number of years, and says he would take all the convicts in our Peniten, tiairy it h~e could get them. The recent municipal elections in the North were largely in favor of the Deomocracy-they mado gains every where except in St. Louis Mo, where the rank and file revolted against the rin.gsters and voted for the Republic' an candidates, electing them by a larg< majority. The Northern States anc municipalities like Democratic govern monts for themselves, but when il comes to a national issue, they elecl the Republican ticket. for fear th< South would be benefited by the elec tion of the Democratic ticket. This i a kind of Democracy that we do not app recia to. The Spartanburg and Ashevilh Railroad was purchased by the bont holders, and arrangements were al once made to complete the road t< Asheville. AcAdon, of Charlotte wat clouted President of the new comipa ny. The Greenwood and Augusti Road propose to extend from Green, wood via Laurens to Spartanburg ant make a connection with the Spartan, burg and Asheville road.

Death of Gen. li. W. Gary. I Oeneral Martin Witherspoon Gary, died at his residence in Edgefield, at 2 o'clock, A, M. ,on Saturday. 9th instant, aged 62 ypars. He had been threatesed with jaundloe for a *eek before his death. and his death was im.. mediately caused by uraemia. He was born in Cokesbury, Abbe ville Coun- a tyf aftd cate' of excellent stock. He entered 4 the Junior Class of the South Carolina Col. 0 lege in 1851, but did not graduate in that in stitution, but went to Princetor College and there graduated about 1858 or 1854. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1865, and went to Edgefield in early life to 1 practice his profession. f At the breaking out of the war be raised a ( company for the Hampton Legion and became its captain. On the reorganization of the army in 1861, he was elected Lieut. Colonel of the Legion, and sueceeded Hampton as Colonel in 1862. He subsequently rose to 0 the rank of a Brigadier General, and served g with conspicuous gallantry in the army of I Northern Virginia, until the close of the war. It Is said of him by his old soldiers that he r was always found in the front of his command in the thickest of the fight, and strange to say, never received the slightest wound. At t1 the surrender at Appomattox, he refused to ( surrender and cut his way through the ene, t mies lines and made his way home with a I considerable portion of his command. After C the close of the war Gen. Gary commenced V the practice of law, and at the same time de voted himself to planting, by which means he I accumulated a considerable fortune. le and Gen. Butler cqme to the front as the two first t leaders of the straightout movement in 1876, by which the State was redeened from the rule of the carpetbag plunderers. H lie was elected State Senator from Edge field County in 1876, and declined a re elec. tion in 1880.. Gen. Gary was a warm, true friend, and a gallant and chivalrous foe. Ie was a devoted son and brother. le was one of the recognized leaders of the Democratic party of the State, and a truer or more dc- 0 voted 'son to Carolina never breatheri the y, breath of life. South Carolina will mcurn for this son whe fought so well for her and loved her so truly. ti The political trials which were to d have como off in the United States Court last week, were postponed until April 1882. This, we presumo is vir tually quashing the indictments.
