A Disgraceful Change.?Greenwood, Ma) 9.?11. It. Tolbert, who haa succeeded in turning out our popular and efficient postmistress, took possesaioo of the post office bare yesterday, and since then tba office haa been crowded with negroes, both within aod in front of the place of delivery, much to |HB^^the annoyance of t he business community. IHmiBVolbert said he regretted to turn out a lady but wanted the money and ns he could now gel it he would have it. Such a sentiment is natural from one who is willing to deprive defenceless women of the tucans of support. lie is an able-bodied young man of some means and without a family. Lewis C.

The r?fusul of the County Commissioners to turn over the bonds of the Three C's Kuiliond, after the Supreme Court lias decLrcd the validating Act of the last Legislature constitutional, has again brought tho bond question prominently before our people. The wi?dou? of thi*> action on the part of the Commissioners is severely criticised by some, while others strongly uphold it. As fur ns nun be learned, it is the intention of these County officials, acting under advice of counsel, to refuse to i?Mie their certificate until compelled to do so by the legislature-, claiming that the decision of the Supremo Court ia ohitcr tlirfa. There are upwards of seven hundred members of the Southern llaptist Convention, representing independent congregations. The size of the convention H significant because it is regulated by theczteut of the coutribuliou which each constituency makes to the cause of missions. Formerly the representation was one delegate for every hundred dollars. The bod) becoming unwieldy, the basis of represrntatiou was raised to 8250. ~ r IPl ? ri chntr oiLz*al and A (Jutt. llonsE Stealer.?Kansas City, May 7.?Clara Uraham, n beau f'ul gitl of 18 years, was convicted in tho Criminal Court hero yesterday of horso stealing. \\ hen placed on tho stand she confessed that February 13, while out of work, she hired a horso and buggy and started for a drive.

Child*' birth-lay, and a* tho event falls . on the Sabbath, the printers throughout th* ' country, or rather those ta*t of the Missis- ^ sippi Hirer, to-dsy set up their "thousand s ems." On each anniversary of Mr. Child*' g birth every printer east of the Mississippi River gives the proceeds from th* setting 11 up of 1,000 ems of type to the Cbildo-Drexel I fund. Those West of the Mississippi do I th* mho on the anniversary of llr. A. J. , Drexel's birth. The fund will some lime in the future bo used in the establishment of some lasting monument to the two benevo- ' lent gentlemen named, probably in the erec- i tion of a home for indigent and aged prin- , ters. Th* anniversary of the birth of tho publisher of the Lulgrr was further celebra - J ted here to-night by a banquet given by the International Typographical Union ex- < ltclrgatcs' Association. A facsimile of (be first issue of the I'ublic I.tilqtr, dated March 25, 1836, is lying before us. We remember the getting out of thnt isMi.e, well. We were about 20 yeara old, and an apprentice. Tho f.tdgrr war published in two of the small reoms in the old Arcade, and on going from work the night before we stepped into the press room, whore we found the pressman, a big tall man by the name of Grant, lying on the floor pretty badly intoxicated; the press, a small Washington hand press, was not "put up," only the '<cheeka" were in position and its | siner pairs lying loose aueut tue uoyt. One of the prcprietors of the paper asked us to "put up" the press for them. We weut to work and had it all up and ncurly ready fur work, when Urant woke up, and eeelng us at work, lie comnieuced abusing us fer trying to take his "sit" from him. He used language very different to what we learned lit Sunday School. Upon being convinced the) we had no intontion of '-taking his job" he became pacified, and apologized. We then assisted him in putting the press in complete order, and we did part of the prcsswork of the first edition. We think tho first edition was 1000 copies. Of one thing I we are sure, by 8 o'clock in tho morning every copy bad been sol 1 and as many more werocsllel for at the oflice. That waa 53 years ago. We wonder if there is auolher man living who worked on the first number of the I'ublic Ltdgtrl If theie is wo would lika to see him. B**>u How few |eopleihere arc who think of the injury they do to themselves and the business of the town hy sending their money to other towns for what they can get at home, merely because they can get what they want somewhat cheaper. This is particularly so with Union. Money made in [ Union is constantly sent out of it, making Union no much poorer and its business that much liss. while it makes the town to which jt is sent tlint much richer and increasing its business to that amount. Money sent from Unitn f< r cheap poods (?) uever returns. lor we have nothing to bring it back. Take a hundre 1 dollars and set it iu eircu* littion in this community, and who cau tell how often it will dotihlc itself in profits to the merchants, mechanics and others, during the year. But send it away for cheap goods, and it is gone froiu our business for ever. Xj far as Union ie couoerned, it might ta will he burned ?p. Keen the one wh<> cd to him five or six limes in his year'e business, and still he wi'h us to repeat its pro" Citable business operations next year. Probably thousands cf dollars are sent out of Union every year by her citizens? even merchants?who make their living hero, if ihoy w.-ini a hat, a piir of ehocf ! or a drees, they send to the nierchauts of a neighboring town for it. Is it any wonder that there is tin money in circulation in I I nion.' No town on the face pf God's green earth e.uild possibly prosper under such a drain of what should keit* active circulating I capital. Something that All should Hear. Mr. Henry B.

It ia unnecessary to Bay that le redeemed the promise of hia acquaintancts who assured us that we would hear something brilliant from him. For a man of his age ho exhibited great theological research and profound reasoning. We could serve eur readers no better than by giving a synopsis of hia discourse, but space makes this impracticable. Brother Smith made a line impression upen our people, ooin , ana and we only voice the sentiment of this > community when we say we hope he will come again. Kev. J. W. Query preached yesterday. His text was : "Enter in at the straight gate." Besides being oue of his finest efforts the sermou wan a powerful appeal to the unconverted. The afternoon oxercises were derated to the administration ef the Lord's Supper. Notwithstanding the inlonscly warm weather and the large congregation present, the best of order prevailed during the solema exercises. Every one present seemed t? realize the solemnity of the occasien which the exercises were intended to commcmurme. We will say that our North Pacolet people, whether few or many, when they meet for publio worship know how to behave themselves. The prestige of their devotion to duly makes it extremely unpopular to do otherwise. Any attempt to impair oup religious Institutions or cripple their influence, would consign the perpetrators to a dclfige of scorn and contempt. Mr. Editor, we are glad to hear from brother A. A. Gilbert, and wish to give his seutiments a lougratulntory Amen nnd Amen. When such veterans throw themselves into the fight victory is assured.
