Wheu the time comes to nominate ? candidate for Congress from the Fourth District (he Democrats of Laurens will divide. 1 lie oandidacy of Joseph Y. Johnson bring'* him, of course, into prominent notice, but uistiuct from that, bis cirser has an interest and a lerson of its own. Mr. Johnson was born at Orewer'own. in (?? nnrtK-*;^,,, Kv,|vu V| I,aureus CO'JOtJ, on the 28th of February, 18W, and is, therefore, just turned thirty-four. lo his infancy his father, a farmer in comfortable circumstances, died and the small estate in land* which lie |lcft was in some way dissipated. The boy with only a widowed mother to provide, wae force 1 for mthe most pert to makohis own way.- Jo his "boyhood he attended (be country sehodv, eay two yeare and a half in all. T. II. Dauie), Thornton l'raynlum and II. 8. Shumate were his teacheis. When he vm fourteou years old his mother * died and the same year, upon the advice of a brother-in-law, he set out to gaiu a collegiate education and matriculated at Krskinc. lie hadn't h dollar, hut he had been at work All of his lifo and frit that lie could go to college and make a living loo. During the first year of the course ho had to depend on tho labor of his hands to make expenses, cutting cordw.od ami picking cotton, among other things, in vucation. One of his many expedients was hauling freight froiu the t jwii of Doualds into Due \Yc?l in an ox cart, which constituted his capital slick in business. After the young student hud gained the sophomore class an easier lime dawned and he managed to make ends moot by selling books and teaching school hot ween ecssisons. Theiccordsof Hrskine will show his high standing iu scholarship and the president and professors tviil tes'ify to ths high esteem in which ho wan heli. The week following gra dilution, in June, 187H, he opeued a school at Hodges where ho taught for a year nnd a half. During the summer vacation of 18HO ho took the census of Cokesbury township, d ung the nceo siry trawling on f?ot. That was the nearest to any politic il oflico that lie has yet held. In September, 1880, ho entered Vaudorbilt University nnd remained there eight mouths studvinif loiric and moilrrn lsii.Mirn/vn.

If elected to Congress, careful preparation, tho esmo sort that ho is accustomed to give to a law caso or anything that ho undertakes. us well as grtal natural ability, will bring to hiui immediately repuia'iou and influence. Mr. Johnson is a lendiug member of the Methodist Church and lias i>cen for years. Whatever the iveut of tho contest it is safe to prulict that Mr. Johnson's canvass will be conducted on a high plane. Anything tnoic or less than a husiuess like, earnest, inquiring discussion of the issues is loo repugnant to (lie character of (lie man to be anticipated by (lioae who know hiiu. At the same time bis canvass will be ft working one and he will bestow upon it the same persevering effort that he does to everything s elae.

Columbia, April G.?Governor Tillman has had another novel question propounded to him, which will doubtless involvo another lawsuit beforo the mutter is settled. Assistant Attorney General Townsend, to whom ' the matter hits been referred, says that no one wbo|vvns of age in 1SN'2, and who bus failed to take out a registration ticket oan now do so, and that tliuso who subsequently became of ngc and did nut take out their registration certificates in tho same year can not now do so. The decision will debar a rcry great many voters, and especially a class whom it was especially intended to affect. Tho complaints now being received by tiovornor Tillman comes cbietly from Sumter county, where some white men-.v-auJoiManci with rue'iHW, as construed by Assistant Attorney General Townsend. To-day Governor Tillman reoe'ved the following direct opinion with regard to tho law : Col.t'M itia , Apvi; C>, lh'.rj. To his Kxccllency, l>. It. I illmitu. Governor of South Carolina, Dear Sir : The letter of W. J. Shaw, ot Sumter, S.

Shnuil asked him when, or if, our guns would open on Fort Sumter ? to which tho Col. repjjod/ fllo "music of Hip guns before daylight." With everybody else in Charleston on that memorable night, we were too excited to think of sleep, and Col. Cliesnul's intimation that firing may sooti commence, we went t> tho battery and remained there until long after daylight. We sha'l never forgot the romark of a man s'uuding near ua. when tlie fust gun was fired?"that, said he, rounds the death knell to the institution of slavery." The guns of Fort Sumter did not open upon the Confederate forts until at'tor daylight, aud thou Beauregard's Couriers commenced passing in boats betweonthe Buttery and Sullivan s Island. Nearly every one ou tho Battery had either a husband, a eon, a brother, or some other relative or ; friend in the Confederate service in the forts arou'd Sumter, and the intense anxiety depicted upon the countenances ss the boats nested the shore, is beyond description I .r i 1, a .uOo ?f il,.> 1 ? ? v' ",v 'M' 1,0 came of leu, fifteen and twenty casualties, but when in tho afternoon it was announced I >>y f.utUvi hy from military headquarters,' that w< / n nan ?>/ iht Confederate furies had been hilled, such a change came over the conn otiances ami actions of that vast crowd. ?k can only be imagined, it cannot be pictured by pen or bruth.
