Another, Tierce, but not the dis tinguished Senator, married Fanuy Kcmble long years ogo, and their daughter inherited what was once a handsome property in Georgia. There was somo trouble Letwoeu tho pareuts, so the mother lived in England, while the daughter remained in this couutrv with her father. A few years ago he died, and, though often visiting her mother, she still preferred to live on the old iamny ?place ut (he South. Lust winter uu English gentleman traveling in that section was anxious to visit a well organized rice plantation, and con sequently became the guest of Miss But ler. Tho result of this visit is that in May she will go to her mother in Eng land, and there become tho wife of the Flon. Mr. Leigh, whom she entertained hut one year ago. There was a deacon in New Hamp shire by the name of Day, by trade a cooper. Ono Sunday ho heard a num ber of boys playing in front of his house, and went to stop their Sabbath breaking. Assuming a gravo count en* auce, he said to them : "Boys, do you know ivhat day is this?" "Yes, sir," immediately replied one of the boys, 'Dcocon Day, tho cooper." The strongest propensity in woman's mtniv. says a careful student of the sex, is io waul to kuow what is going ou, and due next strongest i- to bo?s the job Always treat a lady with politeness, such is due to her aox. No matter though it may cost you an act o'. hypo drisy, no matter though, for a time yon may seem to be a gent Ionian, and there* fore ill at coso don't fail to perform the act of grace. Duty, is duty, whether duty is success or uot. To a lady, use kind words. They are easier and cheap er, and ought to mean more than others. You have or once had a mother; you may or may not have, or had. a sister. It is better," under, the circumstances just named. It is an investment that always pays. j. FELDER MEYERS?Editor . Financial anu Businkks Maxaus?. SATURDAY, APRIL 29,1871. | ?^_ ,. . . . ..._.? i y?* [COMMUNICATED.] / Orange Township, April 25th, 1871. Mr. Editor?I have, from time to time, been lookiug fur some proposition from your party, having some acmblance of conservatism or justice, and at last there scorns to bo a little "waking up" iu that direction Your correspondent-, "Leo in the Fork," (who, you say is a Republican;) at least, makes what I cou eoive to be ono of the most sensible sug gestion which has emanated from the party in this Stitc, viz: That the Con vention shortly to bo held in Columbia, elect a State Central Committee com posed of Democrats, Reformers and Re publicans, with power to call a Grand Nominating Convention in the Spring of 1872, ou the following basis: Issue a proclamation to tho people of South Carolina to assemble at the Court House ol their respective Counties, and elect ten Democrats, ten Reformers anil ten Republicans to represent each County in this Grand Nominating Convention, from Governor down to Road Surveyor, irr<spectivo of party j and tho mau who opposes the nomination in any way, Ku Klux him on the spot. TKis certainly seems as though every citizcu of the State would have a voice in the government, and it is strictly Conservative, aud meets with your cor respondent's most hcartyaprn-ovaL^^Jt is boltovn*Mfjffl gorfratrtec to the whole people a true Re publican form of government, and not n so-called one. S?ch as Senator Chan" lcr and Mortou would foi^t upou our peo ple?a miserable abortion of Republican ism, at once-unwarranted, unconstitution al, centralizing and revolutionary. Mr. Editor, your correspondent, "Leo," as well as yourself, has vented considerable spleen upon the undevoted head of tho "carpet-bagger," and I do not think improperly ; but wc will ex pect the other class, commonly termed "scalawags," to so acot>?:t themselves in the future as ncl i.o be worthy of the epithet, but to be tho best of tho "herd." It is left with this class, Mr. Editor, to utterly ignoro the recent action of Con gicos in refusing to grant amnesty to our best citizens, which is in consonance with the idiberal persecuting policy that has characterized the course of that miserable band of partisans, who control there. So long as tho Radical party of Messrs. Chandler, Morton and Butler, remain in power, just so long as it must resort to expedients of coercion, such as the Ku Klux bill, to maintain itself. And it is only such men as Senators Robertson and Sawyer aud Representa tive DeLargo, suppoited by tho good nnu honest people of all parlies and classes, who can once more rostore con oord and nrncn/?ri?r in onr State Hav ing been divided in tho past, we have never fallen to tho dust, but let us (as "Leo" suggests,) Democrat, Reformer and Republican, unite for the redemp tion of our Couutry, then wc will, in the future, stand as firm as the ruck of ages. As already intimated, wo can effect nothing of those rabid, uncompromising Radicals at Washington, who tamper and trifle With justice an/1 tho publio welfare from motives of sheer revenge, and in the interest of party ambition. Nor of tho miserable, peddliug enrpct-bnggers, (assisted by some of the sculuwogs and negroes,) who are trifling also with jus tico and the public. welLaro, making & mockery of honcBty, and* pHfeving the people's rights and money, from motives of greed and aself graudizement, and, therefore, Mr. Editor, tho people natu rally turn to such as yourself and "Leo in the Fork," who have voluntarily nidinsr in theAroteCtion of their rights hereafter. The writcr^Jarnetitly hopes that, the Convention toi>e held will be composed of men of all\oTuieal complexions, nnd thnt every Cointy will be represented ; that a spirit oQthc utmost harmony will e. ist j that a pip of reform will bo insti? tuted, which sgj bring our ichulc people upon one i/auj|oommuii platform?that of "Uonesty equal rights to all men." I rest in thstlj-'po that darkness can not always pervMo the Stato,but that at no distant <J?y-r<hc suulight of justice, self-governmantstud real Republicanism will burst fort* Let all our 'fjCbrta bo for the accom plishment of tlifl great end. A3IICU3. [COMjftJNICATED.] /halico BltANClI, NkaI Goodby's Hoi.e, April 26th, 1871. Mr. Editor?jllur people aro consid erably amused hy some of the questions asked and anficrred by "Leo in the Fork." Perhaps it is rtill for "Leo," that he answers these questions himself, for if some parties ice know were to answer them for him, tlu-y possibly might not answer them So satisfactorily as he docs?to himself at least. Perhaps, Leo,will favcr the readers of | the Oranoebudg News, witl a peep behind the seen-ffsnd paint cut to thero how it is that these "honest Republi cans," have been made tho scape goats by this herdf. of carpct-bapgers," IIow it is that they have to "bear the ! burden, nnd share the odium without any of the spcim" in the huge swindle. And then, what n brilliant idea seems to have flashed through the furtile brain of Leo, when iu fancy that Grand Nominating Convention meets?that trio of "ten" Delegates thaS is to settle things just as wo want them. No more taxes to pay?no more shoulder strap pers nor ?'hordes of understuppcrs" to desecrate the Legislative Halls of our "beloved'' State. Surely Leo would have us belie tho melcneum ha 1 heart party iiv this County, controls about two thirds of the entire vote, and can it be, thai Leo and the rtH of the Republicans are so magnanimous us to give the Demo crats and Reformers two thirds Repre sentation-, a id they eminent themselves with one third? We trow not. Put Mr. lMit->r, seriously, if Leo is a Republican-of nMch he avers, he cer. tainly is one of the moat liberal that 1 have ever encountered?too much so I fear, ever to become a politician. Does Leo for ouo moment think that this Convention of his imagination, will nominate him for an office?say Sheriff? Does he not know that his theory can never be practicably carried out by cither party ? If ho does not, then we give him more credit for' being an egregious ass than for possessing any judgmen as a politician. Mr. Editor, we of the "Branch" don't kuow Leo, and unlike your correspondent from the Swamp of unmistakcablc odors, we shull not "bust our belus" if we never know him. MINORITY. Magazines, Ac., Rural Cauoi.nian for May.?Va ried, fresh, instructive, decidedly the best Agricultural monthly on our table. The frontispiece, handsome engraving of General Johnson llogood, Presidont of 'he South Carolina Agricultural and ideohanical Socioty, is worthy of the Magazine and General. General II a good is no Military General, but a (Jon federate officir, who won his spurs upon the field of battle, and in taking in tho lead in favor of improved agriculture, he is only following his old habit of being always in tho front. Dr. K. M. Tendieren ofSparia, Ga., Dr. C. U. Shephard Sr., tho celebrated chemist, and B. Mason, of Via., CoL D. Wyatt Aikcn, aud a sooro of other weli posted planters, make their contributions to this number. A glance at tho names of tho various places at which correspon dents- date their contributions is con vincing proof of tho wide ciraulatioa and extensive influence of the Rural Carolinian. Tho only wonder is that 6ucu a Magazine can be supplied at tho low rate of ?2 per Mumm, aud yet af ford a reasonable profit to the publish ois, Messrs. Walkei Evan: & Cogswell, Charleston, C 'I'm: Editor's Shirt.?It has long been regarded as strange by the people of u ceratia New Jersey town, -that whenever there was a Wreck on the coast, and the vessel- went to pieces, the editor of the paper there always came out next day witli a new white ?hirt on. Whenever anybody asked him where he got it from, he invariably unswered that a rich aunt of his hud just died iu Maine. The circumstance occurred so often that the people began to think it wus extraordinary how tauny rich auutB the editor hud iu Maine, und still more [singular that so large a portion of their wealth should huvo been invested in shirts. So a magistrate called on him to as certain if he hud not been iu the habit of swimming off shore surreptiously oti dark nights, and pushing vessels ashore in order to rob them of shirts. The in dignant editor re ievgd his uuxiety by removing his shirt-bosom. It was sim ply a pieco of paper printed in platte, and containing button-holes traced with a pen. And cow the people want to know how a man can be trusted tO fori" public opinion when he is guilty of tmah base deception. A Prince Bids for a Yankeh "Wo man's Horke.?Prince Humbert, heir apparent, of Italy, hunts, while his wife dances and maker, merry. Like his father, he is a mighty Nim rod. His Koyal Highness has set a coveting eye on Miss Hosmer's fitie horse Bruuo, so well kuowu to American visitors to Home. He bus said he must have the horse iu his stables. Accordingly an offer wus disputched to our clever coun try womuu?clever iu many ways, both iu head and heart. Four hundred guin eas ?ras the sum the Priuce was willing to pay. Miss Hosmer's reply was char acteristic, aud liny ono who knows her can readily imagine exactly how she said it?the curt, coueisc, plucky toue of re fusal i "If the four hundred guineas were doubled aud then trebled, the Prince could not have Bruno."
