LOCAL ITEMST SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 4, 1867. SpTno * District Court will sit on Monday best. May Festival* WeWere among the guests of the young I Indies of Rev. TV. G. Connor's Female Semina ry, at their May entertainment on Thursday j evening last. ? We have seldom attended a Social gathering, Where there wns more of real enjoyment ' among all participants, iifthc sim ple and genial amusements which made the hours 'Vmccd on rapid wing*"} nnd where there was as soon dispelled that atmosphere of chilly rca?T<3 Which frequently*casts a damper upon ?UkEs txxalon*. Behoving as. wo do,, in educa ting yo?*g l*di?* in tllQ cfraces ?f socitd life. as wall aseufc?vatiug their mi?ds, we nro glad tto sec anything Ja eonncetiotf with a female ?educj?oaal mstltntaoa, which has n tendency to instruct the young ladies who nro students there, in the ways of refined society, while at ?he .sane time affording them pleasant recrea tion. The ?eatertainmcut at Rev. Mr. Connor's twos of a character to achieve this result; and was aflnaarable conceived and carried out in all its dctaSfi. After an hoar or two spent in the tnsuaj .social amenities, an adjournment was had to the ?upper-fabre, m a hail decorated with evergreens and flower, where ?31 enjoyed the BuniptaiMK *r?pper Acre jweparod, nud which nvouid "hear eonqrortGan favorably with similar entertainments in our better day* of "auld lang eyne." Wit, gallautry and gool-appetites .did justice to the tea*!, and then ca^rtc music and j??y pastimes in their turn, until ataseasonable sipur, all wended their homeward ways, ever to' look back with' pJeasant regard to this May festival of '67. ' Pass Him Aroand. Wc arc informed by one of our mwt worthy colored residents, that a durkcy, who has been rambling through tho country, trying to sell land-certificates to the freed men at S2.?0 apiece, made his appearance in thus town on Wednesday* last, and announced that he would address the citizens of Orangeburg that even ing, on matters of great importance. As he colled himself "Saudcrs" at this place, and has been rejoicing in the name of "Stanfot" in other localities, his expected auditors regarded him with grea_t suspicion; aud upon their making rather close inquiries into his antecedents, the said Sanders, alias Stinfot, vamosed. In his conversation with our informant, he pretended to possess extraordinary authority and power, said that "ho .could go on the railroad track anywhere and by waving his handkerchief at a train, they would recognize him nnd stop for him as a distinguished passenger," and that "the telegraph was under his control, and he had stopped it completely for. that day, until [ he should leave Orangeburg, when he expected to permit it to start operations again," nnd various other absurdities. Our colored friends acted very wisely in giving him no opportunity of ventilating his nonsense in this place. - ? on??? Robbery. On last Monday night, the store of Messrs. T. A.Jeffords & Co., of this place, was bur glariously entered and a large sum of money, two pistols, and several pieces of bacon and other articles stolen therefrom. Circumstan ces having pointed to a mulatto fellow* by the name of Willmm Thomson, temporarily in the employment of Cnpt. J. C. Howk, as one of tho guilty parties, a warrant for his arrest was taken out, but ho unfortunately succeeded in eluding tho officers of justice, nnd effected his escape A search warrant was also obtained, and articles were found which had'becn stolen from tho store of Messrs. T. A. J. & Co., the nightbeforo, while his valiso contained articles stolen from the same store somo time ago, some of the clothing of which Messrs. Ezekiel & Kohn's storo was robbed last month, and also several articles which connected this Thomson witfc tho robberies at tho Rail Road Depot, which were snob a mystery at the time. As the said William Thompson has left "these partB," aud may turn up ready for ras-1 ?OHy \n some other section, we gite a descrip tion of him, for tho benefit of the public. He was formerly the slave of Ospt. Joseph Whitner of Darlington. ? AiWwads Sergeant in tho 104th Regiment ?. S. C. T., Colonel Fbazer. He is about five feet eight inches in height, inclined to bo stout, marked by small pox in his face and over his body, left eye destroyed by that disease, also with a large *scar on the front of each leg from the samo causo.

Sec Advertisement. ??>?**?^??? i [COMMUNICATED.] Pic Nie. Mu. Editor :?It is not always an easy task to place our thoughts on paper, especially when we attempt to record the many interesting events which transpired at a Pic Nie which took place at "EbcncEcr Church" in this Dis trict, in honor of esteemed and aged citizens Mr. and Mrs. Smoke. That your numerous readers may better comprehend the tenor of this communication, I will state that by previous arrangements it was understood that, as far as it was possible, the living descendants of the Smoke family should assemble at Ebcncznr, thereby render ing the First of May ngala day. in the ''Smoke Town Settlement." Scarcely had the crystal dew-drop vanished from the beautiful green foliage which' every where decks and ornaments our roadsides, when the rattling of vehicles could have been beard wending their way to the appointed plate of meeting. Tens, twenties, fifties, and hundreds camo, until the number approximated five hun dred individuals! Benches were arranged, for the comfort of all parties, under spreading branches of stately oaks, whoso deusc foliage answerod . as an ex cellent covert from the rays of the sun. In this shady grovo and in conspicuous scats, sat the venerable and patriarchial looking Mr. Smoke Sr., and his beloved Companion.?re spectively S-l and 82 years of age Around them and in uniform order, were congregated their numerous progeny. To the front and in the centre of this numerous assembly, was sus pended the drawing of a majestic old Oak symbolical of the Family Tree, which was exo cuted by Messrs. Ostrnndcr & Baldwin. Issu ing from this tree or trunk are thirteen arms or limbs representing tho thirteen heads of fami lies, or the thirteen children of Mr. and Mrs. Smoke, of which nine were males, and four females. From each of these arms in their turn, are offshoots respectively representing the number of heirs of each family, which in the aggregate makes a'sum total of 292 descend ants, twenty-five of whom have died ; two died in the war, the rest from other causes. It is a remarkable coincidence, nnd, I think, worthy of record, that there were present on this inter esting occasion 267 living bona?ih representa tives of the Smokes. Rev. Mr. Connor was introduced to the aged couple, when he made some felicitous remarks in'his usual easy and elegant manner of delive ry, appropriate to the occasion. After the speaking, a table was spread measuring over fifty yards in length, nnd which actually groan ed under its weight of eatables, to which full justico was done. Dinner over, the crowd dis persed to their respective homes, carrying with them many pleasant recollections of the. gala day never to be forgotten. MEDICUS. Registration in New Orleans. We clip the following fYoin the New Orleans Time* : "Tho registration of votes, yesterday, did not proceed, in some of tho districts, at least, ns satisfactorily as might have been desired. As we foarcd, the large discretion left in the bands of the registrars, nnd the actum to which it has given rise, have created a very general feeling of dissatisfaction among our people. Unless tho course adopted by tho registering officers has been sadly misrepresented, they have carried into tho performance of a grave public duty their own partisan prejudices, and [ many of their decisions are so manifestly illo gal that, unless revised and reconsidered, they wiil amount to a practical denial of justice to the great mass of the white citizen? of Louisi ana. On thq text of the law by which certain of our people are disfranchised, we have already commented, and have also given the opinions og eminent juBists on the subject. But the registrars have adopted, as it would seem, a far more rigid interpretation, and rejections were made by them yesterday which we think will be pronounced by all sound thinkers as illegal and unjust. Instead of construing-such doubts as may arise in favor of liberty and personal freedom, they have followed an opposite course, and have been led into errors which are glaringly erroneous. Armed with convenient 'doubts,' they reject the claims of citizens whoso right to vote cannot bo questioned on any logal, moral or constitutional grounds. In view of these facts, we trust that Gen. Sheridan will exercise a portion of that authority with which he is legitimately Tested, so as to remove exist ing and well foundod causes of dissatisfaction. Unless sueh a course be pursued, the 'fantastic tricks' of irresponsible agents may servo to tarnish a high military reputation and check that spirit of returning loyalty among our peo ple which every true patriot and statesman should encourage. If the object be to restore harmony, the registry law should be liberally interpreted ; 'but if it be simply to secure a party triumph by the disfranohisemeut of tho great mass of our white citizens, the exclusive course inaugurated yesterday will prove cmi ncntly successful." Items. Switzerland will post an. army of observation on the French frontier. At Paris, it is officially stated that the Emperor has expressed satisfaction with the negotiations now in progress for the settlement of the Lux embourg question. It is said that the Russian government will receive from the United States a fleet of iron clods iusteud of a stipulated sum of money in payment of the cession of the Rus-ian posses 8*0118. Queen Victoria has written a letter to the King of Prussia, in which site takes ground in favor of the recent moderate propositions ol France in regard to the disposition of Luxem bourg, and advises him to accept the plan of compromise, to which Napoleon is not unwill ing to accede. The Prussian government signified by Tele graph its acceptance of the proposition made by the Queen of England for a General Con ference of the Great Powers, to be held at Lon don, to settle the Luxembourg dispute on the basis of neutralization of the Grand Duchy to be guaranteed by all the powers represented at the Conference. . At Memphis, ('apt. Estcs, commanding the post, has forbidden a procession, speeches, or public demonstration in honor of the Confeder ate dead. Military interference will be avoided by confining the arrangements to simple acts of mourning for dearest relatives. The Connecticut Legislature was organize, on tho 1st inst. Governor English in hisiuos^ sage says that the situation of public affairs is important in its every aspect. ? lie urges that as citizens of a common country, we should endeavor to extinguish the vindictive resent ments engendered by the late war. lie says that the great object ofthat strife has not yet been attained, and that the national Union is not yet restored. That ten States are still denied participation in the national Government, by the action of Congress, which is wholly unwarrantable ; and that if the measures which it has adopted arc still persisted in, they will transform the Government into a despotism. He deems the course of legislation pursued by Congress as fatal to the Union and the Consti tution as is the doctrine of secession. That the legislation of the 39th Congress was, to a large extent, a series of usurpations and infrac tions of the Constitution. He argues that Con gress has no more power, notier?-the Constitu tion, to establish Military Governments in the Southern States, than to institute an order of nobility in England, and claims that Congress assumed that power ouly for ?hc purpose of ac complishing, more thoroughly, the subversion of the S?itcs.. That if Congress can legislate for those States, it is not difficult to enforce a like interpretation upon the other States of the Union.
