The girls in a Springfield, Miss., fac ? tory arc supplied by the proprietors with chewing gum, iu order that they may not waste time iu talking. A Keutucky editor speaks of a local genius who has been a persevering con tributor to the office waste basket for several years. Notwithstanding all they say against it, there is not an editor in the State who would refuse to accept "back pay" from subscribers. A Bangpr woman got angry with a directory caova?n?r bocause that young gentleman would not take tho name of hor six months' old baby. Nows'is scarce in Minnesota; in the offort to present something fresh, a Lancsboro paper has found it necessary to publish the Ten Commandments.

The Court of Claims has lately given judgement for over two huudred thoua and dollars in favor of Alexander J.

Tho vote al the late election, of the six Railroad towns, Orangoburg, Fort Motte, Lewisville, Brunchvillc, Jami sons and Rowe's Pump, was 1443,? more'than Hull of all the votes cast in the county.

Let every citizen who is in favor of opening new streets, and of keeping all streets in a decent condition?lot every one who favor* enterprise and progress ?vote to secure tho elect i m of this I v * ticket. We do not ^r.liero tl...i ttiu recent nominations wer.; made with any purposo of raising unpleasant issuos between tho Republicans and those of a different political faith. The intention, as we understand, was simply to secure, if possible, a T< wn Government wbioh would give the greatest satisfaction to tho greatest number of citizens. Naturally, Republicans perfcr to s o Republicans in office. Rut they inteU d, if successful, to govern Orangcburg economically and yet liberally?in a spirit of enterprise, honesty ami fajrnOfB toward all men and toward all parties There is trouble among the Granges. Since the claim of their being non po litical bus been explod d. tboy are in a quandary In the Northwest they ally themselves with the Republican Parly, and in the South they take the load in the Democratic Party. In any part of the country they arc SUre to be manipulated by d&?iguiug men . nnd ruu for oome rascal's benefit. We would not be surprised to seo the honest and innocent planters of Sonth Carolina contributing their money to seme Rourbon candidate by nud by. Of course they wilt lowe it, an 1 iho candi date will be defeated. Who will got the money is very uncertain. The only certain thing about it i? that it will not benefit the planters in the least. Really, the Granges area great farce. AR the world is not hostile to the farm crsj there is no conspiracy to ruin them; nud if there were it could not succeed. Why should they all at onco combiuo to turn the cold shoulder to their friends nnd neighbors? When they como to think over the matter coolly and delibe rately, they will bb after the rooukey who wishes to make a catspaw ont of ' them. The sceno will be rich about that 1 time. We think it is near at baud. Charlretou VhroHu fe. Aa Extra Sea* Ion. There scorns to be no doubt that the General Assembly ot tne State will be convened in extra scotioti between the 15th nod 20th of October neat, for tho roason, as alleged by the State, officials, that an extra session is necessary in or der to pass the tax levy for tho fiscal year ending November 1st, 1874. Under the* law, as it now stands, tho taxos for each fiscal year aro payablo on or before the l?lb of November, aod as th ; regit lar session does not begin until a late day in November, the passage of -tho tax levy, In time to enable the taxpayers to moot the requirements of tu? law, ha a been found to be impracticable At the last session the joint resolution, authori-. siug the tax levy for the fiscal year com mencing November 1st, 1872, was not approved until tho 20th of December of that year, and hence it was found necessary to pass an act post poning the collection of taxes until March of the ensuing yoar. Tho extra session is therefore, to be con vened for tho purpose of passing tho tax levy for the fiscal yesr commencing November 1, 1873, in order to facilitate the collec tion of the taxes for that year at the time fixed by law, vis tho 15th of No: vombor. In addition to this the sub ject of the Stato debt is to be discussed; but this will not be touched upon until the tax question shall be settled.? Charleston Neics <fc Courier. * Ke If ante. Tho Democratic Conservative State convention of Maryluud met at the Maryland Instituto, in Baltimore, last week, and nominated its candidates for comptroller and for cl?rk of tho Court of Appeals. Now, "Democratic Conservative" is good, and is something new. A party that has not even got a definite namo must be a high old party. This conven tion, however, adopted a platform, in the first resolution of which it says, very decisively : "Resolved, That the Democratic-Coo scrvativc party of Maryland, in conven tion assembled, reaffirms its adhesion to the long established principles of the De mocracy." Tho Italics are ours. Well, why not call the convention Democratic, without any unmeaning supplement ''. This broken-winded old party.puts us in mind of a drunken fellow hanging tjn to a lamp post. If he lets go, he will fall down ; and if he holds on, ho will never get anywhere. Therefore, ho is in a dilemma what to do. So is this Democratic, Conservative, Liberal Re publican, spavined, bandy-legged old fraud all over the country. Democratic Corruption. The Washington Republican says: "We shall put a Democratic leader on tho stand. George B. Pugh, one of the oldest and most trusted leaders and .champions of Ohio Doraooraoy, nude a spceoh at Wood's Theatre, in Cincinna ti, a few uights ago, in which he declar ed i '1 could have had the warmest corner on the hearth stone if I had only shut my mouth about the stealing going on among the Democrats. Why, my friends, look at Butler county. Good for 2,200 Democratic majority. Less than two years ago they took the money out of their treasury and left her with out a cent, and compelled her Sonato r to appeal to the Legislature of Oh io for leave to use her credit to pay tho ordinary expenses of her administration. Look at the Democratic county of Fair field, aud look how her assets have been stolen and her people robbed. I am re proached enough for calling attention to the Democratic den of thieves. [Loud applause.} I W?1 speak of Hamilton county; that is coming home. Four Auditors?two Democrats aud two Re publicans?in this our county have stolen more than $100,000 of the peo ple's money.' This, be it rente.nbored , is not a Republican assertion. "Wherever the Democrats arc io pow er to-day, from a State down to a coun ty town, we have a wholesale system of public stealing and robbery more or less open and barefaced. It was so in New Yoik until the reform movement swept the Tammany ring from power. It is so in Baltimore and in other cities where the same party has control. It was on ly yesterday that we called attention to the unblushing corru ption of Kentuckys Dcmooratie Legislature. Mr. Pugh tells us how it is in Ohio. And yet this is the same party that turns around and holds up its hand iu horror at 'carpet bag government in the South, and at tho 'universal corruption of the Repub lican party.' Newark, August 20. John Martin residing at No. 2G5 Rast Ferry street, was arrested yesterd >y afternoon for stabbing his wife in the abdomen with a pair of scissors. Physi cians think she cannot recover. Some new developments have oocured connected with Jthe recent murder of Delia Corcoran, a young Irish girl su|W? posed to hove been outraged, suffocated and drowned by negroes. Three negroes named Byers, Cisco and Ray wero ar rested at the time, but all firmly dunied any connection with the tragody. George Byers, it is said, has made a full confession. He says: On the night. Delia was murdered he reached home at half post seven o'clock. Ray and Ciscoj were with Byers' wife on the stoop.; Dei ia was with them and all wore drink- ( ing, for -Delia was treating all hands. Hill McClano and anothor white man came un and ?"Pro drink was obtained. 'Byers did. not drink, Pejia wanted to go across tho river to Yonkers. Byers got a boat and the other men said they would go along. They appeard to be intoxicated. All five men went in the boat with Delia and Dyers' wife. When in the middle of the Btroano, Cisco .pulled a pistol and fired two shots in the air. On reaching Yonkers they had more drink, Delia again treating. They returned to the boat and rowed back, as Delia said she'wanted to go home to - move. After landing, some quarrel arose between Ray and Ci sco. Delia* started to walk home; Cisco and Ray followed her, and outraged her, ! leaving her inscnsiblo in tho roadway . Dyers then over heard them planning to take the boat and go farther up the rives. The rumored oonfessiou of Dyers creates considerable excitement. A Wonmn'slfrlto. Some editor who has been victimized w rites as follows : "We shall never engage another wo man to report gcutlemorfs fashions for this paper. We might have known she would ignorainiously fail; but sho said gentlemen reported ladies' fashions,and she couldn't see why a woman shouldn't write up tho masculine modes. We couidu't see cither, so wo gave her a earte blanche to go ahead. And such a fashion article! Here is a specimen of the ridiculous stuff: A recherche spring overcoat for promenade has pret ty ribbed stripes, with three ruffles on the tails, festooned with tassels, single breasted collar nnd rolliug flaps on the pannier. A lovely dress coat has three buttons and pockets in the rear, box pleated on the hips, three ply guipure lace on the narrativo, gored in a bunch nnd cut boufraot. Vests button up in front, some as last year, and haVe pock ets, with imperial polonaise up the back, and oxydized buttons in d ouble rows on tho collar, with tab front. The shirt is cut tight at the knoc, and open i a front or behind, as may be preferred, with percale bosom, trimmed passementerie: four rows of Magenta braid around tho Rkirt, with hood at back, bound with galloon to match. Much depends on the pantaloons. A gent Ionian's dress is? very incomplete withnu' trousers Tho?e arc of some subdued color, ns London smoke, and should harmonise with the ?the?the neck fichu. They are cut bias in both legs, with deep frills to fall over the instep; the wnist is gnrnished with a broad band of batiste, with ecru facings and buttons to match; the Rut that is cjf?*;h. Anyone but a Pa nil which Islander will seo at a glance that these fashions arc frightfully mix ed. Who ever heard of trousers being cut bias in the legs, deep frills falling over the instep, with- a broad band bf batiste?whatever that may be?aad ' ecru facing, and things? Rather than wear pantaloons built in that way, we would gt without; and encase our limbs in two sections of stove pipe." Small Faring. The l"iii?n Herald is free to repeat that it is in favor of ilie break ing up of those large and unprofitable tracts over, whose fertile acres roam tho fox and deer and over which the hand uf tho small farm - or should curry thai sign of poaec and pros perity, the laboring plough. We aro iu lavur of the encouragemcut of the small industries-small, highly cultivated farms nnd increasing manufactures all over tho State. n We are asked how are we in favor.of the breaking ot these hirgo tracts, nnd the answer is handed u.s, in something olsc than a silver salver, "by hoary and heavier taxation !' Wo prefer to answer for ourselves. We would be foolish in deed, if, ?tunding on the ground that the tnx falls on the poor men, the large majority of whom are Republicans, wc should advocntc "heavy and heavier" taxation for any purpose, because, from our doctrine, it follows, as a m ittcr of course, that the heavier you lay tho tax the less able the p >or man is to buy bread and meat, much less a piece of land in the breaking of these large tracts. If the man who has something can't afford to ki op(his land against high taxa tion, can tho viau who has uotbiog afford to buy and keep it too ? It is absolutely absurd. This talk then, that the Repupliean party wants high taxation to break up the lands, Ac. Ac, by way of oppressing ono class of our poople in favor of anothpr is an empty sound, or, if it has anything in it, it is lull of the nitro glycerine order, of which wo have enough in this State to ruin an empire. |< We believe that these tracts will dis appear and ought to disappear. How? 'Not by high taxation?that is folly; net by a special political policy, like tho land commission?because that is a fail ure; but by the necessities of the times in which wc live In this day, no man bnt a millionaire can afford to keep a dear park. The owner finds that free labor costs something, enormous plantations won't pay and that it is fast becoming in |q this State, just, as it is all over the Wprlt}, that no map, white, blaok or ool ui ed, pap ujfnrd tP hold any tract Qf land not cultivated sufficiently to help pay the genoral burden. These very tracts to day are being largely cut up and rented or sold to the small farmers, at very profitable prices too. The poorer classes of this State are improving won* derfully. They live on little, get the wage > of labor, plant on their own hook and, out of tho honest sweat of their brows, they manage at the end of the year to buy a small homestead. This is the way they are breaking up these large tracts: They are driving, day by day a solid wedge of pure gold between them that nothing can fusist. High taxation cannot help,hut must hurt the ra and all attempts to charge them with, this idea in this style must hurt all of US.? L'uion-Herald. A Printer'? t>miy. TO MISS CATHARINI J-, Or UTK.
