, Court, &c.
Monday next will doubtless bo a
busy day in Orangoburg. And surely
a busy day will bo a treat. The
long, dry, dull Summer season has passed
nnd chilly mornings nnd now and then
arrivals of cotton bales remind us j
that tho planter's year of toil is over,
njul give promise of a livelier aud better
term. The first invoice of cotton com
ing into town has to go to satisfy liens
nnd pay for advances. This the first in
voice is now coming in. But this arriv
al of "king cotting" benefits only the
lien (loan) it en. The planter goes in,
delivers his bales tho first fruits of the
year, his lien is returned to him. Ou it
is written "satisfied.Magic word !
Insatiate commerce "satisfied !" Lucky
planter 11 But luckier yet, for not only
on his lien but on his face (not lean) is
written "satisfied." Tho farmer thus
"satisfied," is now prepared to make
"advances" instead of asking them.
And he docs mako "advances" of jovial,
genial heartiness nnd renews his ac
quaintance and friendship. But the
second term, the "golden age," is dawn
ing and tho cotton that goes to pay for
extras is coming in. These extras make
tho heart of trader nnd planter merry.
They fill many a little gap and many a
little purse, This halcyon season of the
second invoice will culminate at sales
day. Monday next will bo salcsday:
This, of itself, ipso Jacto, draws a
c~owd. Somebody is to be sold out and
somebody will buy iu.
But new and additional attractions
will draw a crowd. Court is to meet.
Court with all its concomitatus, Judge,
and lawyers, aud client- and witnesses
all will bo here. A crowd docs our
heart good. Some in tho crowd .will
pay back debts. Subscriptions are per
haps among these. Ourppirits rise with
the crowd. .Judge Graham, than whom
no greater or better man has come to
dispense justice at Ornngeburg, will be
here. Mr. Solicitor Seabrook is already
here, aud is meeting and making friends.
This gentleman has just returned from a
visit to the North, and has been prevent
ed from going back to Charleston on ac
count of the epidemic prevailing there.
"We can heartily say that he is welcome
here. This gentleman, while a Republi
can, bears a name that is historical in
South Carolina, aud is possessed of
qualities thut huvc distinguished those
of his cloth in the past. His chaste
and earnest addresses while representing
tho Stato (his own State) in her effort
to vindicate the majesty of her laws,
have never failed to attract attention and
admiration and have elicited expressions
of eulogy from tho bar nnd even from
those who with less cause, are devoted to
tho notions of the past.
Besides this, possessed of social quaii
*1-??* nr?. 'nvirceibl*? ;? r*T*idb" hn
coming known and liked in our com
munity.
By that famous but unfortunate Judge
Carpenter, he was respected most highly,
and by Judge Graham he is esteemed rn
able, reliable and efficient officer.
Distinguished already in the field of
literature he is making every day a repu
tation as a lawyer. This gentleman,
dissociated as it were from those cf his
kindred, and boldly differing with thcin
in advanced ideas iu politics stands out
conspicuous nnd distinguished.
Vnunr. vet in vcars, but known and
rcspocted he gives promise of a remarka
ble nnd distinguished career.
But to conc'udo the Court. There
will bo a tolerably full criminal docket,
four cases of homicide being already re
turned. The civil business, if tho
question of the jury is settled, will pro
bably occupy three weeks longer.
"You need a little sun and air," said
a physician to n maiden patient. "If I
do," was llto reply, "I'll lrtvo to wait
until I get a husband."
The Next Lcairtti?Tua? will elect
ft Judge to fill tho vi.oaucy ouusod by th'e
death of Judge Platt. Peroral candi
dates aro ont for tbo position. Wo
have oauvasscd the chances of all those
gentlemen. At present the ohnuccs aro
that Solicitor E. B. Soabrodk will be
elected to fill said vaeaboy. Mr. Sea
brook is a youug man, but it is conced
ed, even by his oppouents, that he is
possessed of talent sufficient to warrant
a faithful and creditable discharge of
duty upon tho judicial bench. Those of
our friends throughout tho Stato, with
whom we haven't spoken to on this sub
ject, we hopo will give it a favorable
considcratiou, and in November elect
Mr. E. B. Seabrook to fill the vacancy
of tho lamented Judge IMatt.
The next campaign will be a
lively affair. Alrcudy men arc hob and
nobbing with this and that man for his
support. Various candidates, for the
various offices of this County'arc before
the people. Several stratcgems have
ulroady been resorted to to defeat at pres
ent the most popular candidates, but wc
tell tlto ones who have adopted these
means of warfare, that they will be bea
ten nt their own game. Let them war
against whom they may, and rely upon
their present non-rcsistancc to such
proceedings but tho day is not far dis
tant when they will rue tho spirit which
actuated them. As for us, wo say pre
cisely that we will only support those
whose record is unimpeachable. Give
us cither an out-and-out Democrat to
fill every office in Orangeburg Couuty
rather than one single otic of those who
only adopt the name of Republican for
the Hake of greedy gain.
([COMMUNICATED.]
Mr. Km: on.?At the next election
to be held in this State, there will be elec
ted a Solicior of each Judicial Circuit. As
the last Solicitor was a citizen of Char
leston, 1 propose that we ask our friends
in that city to give us a showing this
time. Crangeburg County is entitled to
some notice, surely. No County in the
State, according to her population, gives
a larger Republican majority, nud I
think wo are clearly entitled to some of
tho public offices of honor and emolu
ment. I therefore request that Mr.
Thompson ff. Cookc'.s name be placed
before tho public as a candidate for the
Solicitorship of the First Circuit. And
I hope ouv friends of Charleston will
give us their support, In a future let
ter I will B-V' why Mr. Cooko has a par
ticular claim upon Republicans.
VOTER,
A Florida Phenomenon.
The Florida mails give mcagro and
vague accounts of an astonishing pheno
menon at Ap'.pku, Orange County, near
Palatkn. '1 he whole county disappeared
in one night, and its sito is covered by a
great take. A coirespondent, writing
from the ne:ghborhood to the Palatka
Herald, says :
Mr. Alex K. Foster has just come in
with more marvellous and startling ic
ports. lie says that on his way from
Orlando to Millonvillo, after crossing
Fort Mctlin branch, he left :he road to
avoid the constant bogging to which he
was subjected. Tho safest place he
thought would bo ou the crown of a high
black jnck ridge, running parallel with
the road, which he accordingly took.
After riding perhaps a mile his horse
commenced bogging, and for sonic dis
tance it was questionable whether he
could ?ot through ; he. however, reached
more solid footing ; again he commenced
uti^.??i , .1?. tuts time no noticed rc
UlRrkublc and portentous sounds in his
rear. Tho hogging grew worse ns he
proceeded, until ho had to dismount;
there scorned no escape for him, both ho
and bib horse wore still hogging. The
sounds in his roar increased more and
more and became more and more alarm
ing T??d the route in Iront more boggy?
ho dare not stop, as this would have ren
dered it im possible to have extricated
himself?he neither dare nor could look
belliml him, his whole thought and aim
was to riach terra firina. At last after
the most superhuman exertions, both he
and his horse, exhausted to the most cx
tremo dogroe, reached solid ground.
Turning to examine into the cause of
those fearful sounds in his rear, he saw
the most terrific nod appalling sights it
lias ever boon tny fate to listen to. Tho
first thing that attracted attention was
that the trees were moving?first a gyra
tory motion of the top, then some sink
ing gradually out of sight, the tops re
volving more nnd more rapidly as they
sunk and disappeared, others following,
and as they fell revolving and describing
w o o
arcs of a circle against the sky. Thou
the whole earth, ns far ns Ihe eyo could
reach, sinking nnd its place supplied by
n tea cf waters, rushing, seething, boil.
iajj vitXi the noise of mighty ontsraets,
und over and anon casting to tho surfaco
the roots, tops or bodies of mighty piucs
and oaks.
Pooplo are rushing from tho scone of
disaster. Our camp is crowded'with tho
terror-stricken inhabitants from tho
country iu our rear. Evorybody is wait
ing the forebodings and horriblo expec
tations. They bcliovc the day of judg
ment has come. Tho cx.rnordinary
phenomenon appears more and moro ex
traordioary. The country from two to
three miles fron bore to Luke .Mr!I'm is
entirely submerged, and is now one vast
like. Nothing authoritative from be
yond, though r?mnr? are riio'that Orlun
I do is swallowed up, and thu whole chain
of lakes to Lake Conwny nro uow united
and form nn immense inland sea. We
leave immediately and iu terror for our
own fntc.

The Law ov Coiton Bales.?An
Act of February 28, 1S71. passed by
Congress, prescribes "that no looso hay,
loose cotton, or looso hemp puall he car
ried as freight ou any steamer carrying
passengers; nor shall baled cotton or
hemp be carried iu such steamers unless
the bales are compactly pressed, and
thoroughly covered with bagging or
similar fabric, and secured with good
rope or iron bands; and every bale of
cotton or hemp that shall be shipped or
carried on any passenger steamer with
out conforming to the provisions of this
section, shall be subject to a penalty of
five dollars; which bales shall be liable
to 8cizute and sale lo secure the pay
ment of such penalty."
This the Journal of 4 omtnerce thinks,
ought to bo a. sufficient inducement to
planters to cover their cotton as well as
to pack it properly. This Act is now in
force, and us the penalty is easily col
tbUvCU, USiu null as lite tUitaii iuiurs,
goes to the informer, our Southern
friends will do well to stir up all their
packers on this subject. Every bale of
cotton packed this fall and winter cugbt
to be carefully covered in conformity
with the provisions of this law.
A Remarkable Dream.?In con
ncction with the horrible Harper trage
dy, the Lexington, Ky , Dress, of 1'rid iy
tells a IllOSt iomarkable dream of one of
the members ef the Harper family :
"We were informed by Mr. Frank
Harper that the wife of Wallace Harper
dreamed, the Saturday night before the
murder, that .lake and Miss Betsey
were both killed by a negro man and
boy, and that the man had long whis
kers The description given of the man
answers exactly to that of Tom Baker,
one of the negroes arrested upon suspi
cion of complicity in the murder. This
is very strange, but what seems the
strangest is that the horrid picture
should havo haunted the dreams of a
lady relative of the deceased only a day
before bis murder."
"His nitV-gritnage is over," ns the
druggist's widow said when she Ordered
an epitaph for his tomb-stone.
?'|WBbai?tipul Incident.?Tho fol
lowing beautiful story is worthy to bo
laid up io tho memory of every one :
A poor Arab traveling in the desert
mot with a spring of clear, sweet, spark
ling water. U?ed aa he was only to
brackish well*, such Water as this ap
pearc i to his simple mind worthy of a
monarch, and filling his leathern bottle
from the spring, ho dutcrmiucd to go
and present it to the caliph himself.
The poor,man traveled a long way
before ho renched tho prcsonco of his
sovereign ami laid bis humble offering
at his feet. The cujiph did not despise
the little gift brought to him with so
much trouble. He ordered somo of the
water to be-poured into a cup, drank it,
and thanking tho Arab with u smile
ordered him to bo presented with a
reward.
The coiuticr around pressed foqp/nrd,
eager to taste tho wonderful water; but.
to tho SLrprise of all, the caliph forbade
them to touch a single drop.
After the poor Arab had quitted the
royal presence with a light and joyful
heart, the caliph turned to his courtiers
and thus explained his conduct : Du
ring the travels of the Arab," said he,
"the water in his leathern bottle became
impure and distasteful. Hut it was an
offering of love, and as such I have re
ceived it with pleasure. Hut I well
knew that had I suffered another to par
take of it, he would not have concealed
his disgu-t; and therefore I forbade you
to touch the draught, least the heart of
the poor man should have been woun
dcd."
The act of this caliph was worthy of
a Christ ion gentleman. Read the story
over again, think about it and try to
remember it when some one simpler
minded than you aro exposes his igno
rance while doing you u service. If you
laugh and make sport ns the courtiers
would have done, you ^yourself arc nei
ther a gentleman nor a Christian. Tho
truly great are kind to the humblest.
It is the mean tnau who treats the ljwly
with contempt.
The Loud, tue Ladt and the
Mysterious Telegram.?The Lon
don Court Circular relates the following
I anecdote respecting a noble lady, who
[ is young, beautiiul and good :
During the army bill debate her noble
.husband, who is us proud nud loud of
her as he should be, was just about to
rise and deliver n violent attack upon
j sonictitne or somebody, when a telegram
j was ptfft into his hands. He read it,
j turned pale and quired the House,
called a cab. drove to the Charing (Truss
station and went to Dover, and was no
more heard of until tho .lcxt day, when
I he returned to his own home, and ta his
j first inquiry was told that the Countess
I was in her own loom. II j hnstene I to
j her, und a terrible row ensued, the exact
I words of which no one knows but i hero
I selves. At list, h ?wovor, he burst out,
"Then" what did you mean by your tele

course. What aje you talking about ? '
?'Head it for yourself,' returned the
rtill unappensed h .-bind. She did
read : 'I lice with Mr.-to Dover

sho was startled, but then burrt into a
hearty fit of laughter.?'Most dreadful
