A Nkuro's Smart Trick.?Chester. June
23.?A rather amusing and it may be said
a serious warning to those who are ever ready
to sign papers or inako emlrscmcnis without
knowing fu'ly what thoy aie approving was
brought to light a few days ago. Mr. Charles
McGurckin, who has lived on Broad Kiver
iu this couuty for three or four yea's, but
who moved into town a fc v months to live,
ia order that he might be wi Inn tho mail
delivery limits, has been since the time of
his coining an applicant for tho office of
po-dumsicr of Chester. While Mr. McGurckin
has not and could not well have the endorsement
of the representative people of Chester
utuler the circumstances, it was generally
thought that his chancos for the appointment
were good, having ns his backers somo of
tho leading Uepuniicans of the Stn'o.
Mr. McGurckin has waited far
horror he was shewn a petition from David
Ituira, endorsed by the leading business
men of Chester, viz: a bank president, the
clerk of the Court, the county treasurer, the
sheriff, tho mayor of the town, odc or two
aldermen, and a number of business men.
Mr. McGurckin was struck dumb and could
not explain it. lie only knew that David
Brim whs only a negro about town Bt
Chester.
On his return from Washington he made
an investiga'ion which showed that Baum
..... vuiuiucu mo signatures to hits petition '
frmdcntly. It appears it whs dine in this I
manner: llauni is a pain'cr and lias far tlie
Inst week or two been working on ihe Court I
House and other buildings in town. When I
he presented himself to the above named ]
gentlemen for their endorsement lUcy read ly i
gave it to hitn, failing to spcoify f?>r whir, |
bat being undor the impression that i< was |
for being a master of his trade. Your cor- j

Thsckston's effort to explain the matter, c,
was not only no explanation of tho vital it

strengthened tho suspicion that, either the

there was wrong doing all round, and were

thing in j .urnilism as being to i fast, particulirly
in making obarges against individuals,
anil wc wailed to koow certainly whether
the principals or the subordinate was the
game 'o shoot at; and not until now do we
find, by Thackston'a own onfession, that he
alone is guilty of concocting the plot, ex- ?

about thai, resolution of the S'ato Board of

! ? Mr. Thncks'on is chief clerk of the
Department of Education. That department
is the repository, wo beliovc, of the i apers

Governor Tillman Wants an Organ.
The Charles*on World of the 25th, ult.,
contains a very spicy account of what it
claims to be "a mysterious conference of the
powers" representing the dominant element
of the Slate, called together by a letter
from Governor Tillman, whicli tho World
introduces thus :
"A leader" in each county?which
means a public officer of some kind?except

paper to ccun'cracl this state of things, uad /
after consultation with some of our lecders, .
it has been deeme 1 wise to have a conference
of 8omo of our belt men to take the matter J
under consideration to see what can be done t
and what is test to be done. j
This conference will meet in Columbia in
the Agricultural lta'l, Wednesday, June 3rd, *
at 8, p. m., r.nd you are requested to attend n
as representative from your couuty, or to
send some good man in your place.
