There is no money there. What a pity ! Hon. S. L. Duncan was in town on Mon thly last. County Auditor Van Tassel closed the as sessment of property on Thursday last. The recent wind completely destroyed the corn mid cotton crops of several farmers near Branehville. The editor of the Free. Citizen is fond of "night meetings."

Moses says he will metumorphoHe himself into a whole Jew should he be defeated. He doesn't like to be called a hybrid. The Georgetown Times will come out in an enlarged size next week.

Tbc Free Citizen has some facts it wants to give to the public. Why not, everything is quiet back of the Court. House Square now. Mr. Biggs' cotton patch, planted with nn eyo to the Fair, beads anything iu this County. One stalk of it is a good load for nn ordinary man. Truth. PERSONAL? Judge T. II. Cookc was in town on Wed ncsday last, looking well. The Judge re ports the up country for Chamberlain. Poor Judas. The thcmoineter reached 101! degrees in 'the shade at Aiken on the 14th inst. So says the Tribune. Sparnick couldn't trust ?the sun on that day. Where was Cammack, ?the Journal man ? -MM III-??????? The Edisto base ball club of this place ?whipped out the Independents on Tuesday afternoon last by 42 to 28. The former club is jubilnnt over their victory, and moans to continue in the cbumpionship. It is said that bis Excellency preached at Hopkins on Sunday last to u largo and enthusiastic crowd. What is it that this wily devil wont do ? "Goto Heaven," snys Rilcy. General Elliott, it. is said, will run for the Legislature from Aiken County, and designs wresting the Spcakorship from Leo. The General seems to bo master >f the situation wherever ho goes. Wo hoar the Hon. W. H. Reedish spokctl of for the Legislature by many of his friends. Mr. Recdioh has been a faithful and consis tent worker iu his party, and is the leader of tho lower portion cf our county. LYNCH LA W? Capt. A. F. Butler was killed at Augusta, on Saturday last, by one Michael Murrell, and tho murderer was condemned by lynch law, and shot and killed on the satno even ing. Ho descrvod death, but w. o not ap provo of lynch law, which is a . .st dan geroUB precedent to establish. Wo regret to hoar of the death of the ol dest daughter of our fellow townsman, Mr. P. V. Dibble, who died on Sullivan's Island on Thursday night of this week. Our sym pathies arc tendered the bereaved family. The Branohvillu delegation composed o lion. W. II. Hcedish, Jas. Van Tasjol. Esq., Uov. E. Green, Andrew Pick?oy und Mr. K. T. R. Sinotik was one of the most active and influential ever sent from that place. The new depot is progressing finely. Orangcburg deserves this recognition by the Railroad Company and we are quite glad to record it. With Mr. DrtWSOU as our agent, and a commodious depot, our merchants mid traveling public will get along swimmingly. Hurley gave a pic-nic to the poor colored children of Charleston last week which w as a brilliant success. Timothy is a brick and did all he could in the his I Legislature to.stem the tide of corruption inaugurated by Moses.

We trust that the city council will vote il to DcLano, ut their next meeting, with instructions that he shall get out a decent paper once in his life. The Charleston Sun credits us with hav ing had a huge fracas here on Monday last a wnek ago to which impeachment we pUad not guilty. There was a little matter atten ded to by the School Commissioner, but no one knew anything of it except the fighting editor of ? heiligeren! contemporary. Henry Livingston was the first foreman of lh?' grand jury alter the late unpleasant ness, which presented the "road commis sioners fur neglect of duty, and I lie com missioners of the poor lor icniissuess of duty." This was under good old democrat ic rule. Solicitor lbniz left here on Friday las', tered a boat, went to James Island, made a speech, whipped bis opponents out and re turned to Charleston with the How en crowd on Sunday morning* Buttz means busi ness. The other side of the railroad does'l'l look like itself. The fine residence of Mr. VYillcock presents a really aristocratic ap pearance, and adds to the beauty of that neighborhood ton wonderful degree ^Oilier improvements are being made "over there'' which should spur our side up. In consequence of Mr. Jloliver, ihe Clerk of the County Couim'ssioncrs, having been called away on official business Hie largest part of this week', the statement promised in our last issue in regard to the County finances, "'jtil I not be had. Mr. liolivcr will have it ready for our next issue. E. EZEKIEI.?

The lighting editor of the (fnion-Ifrniltl is off on a trip to Long Branch, and will not he back until aller the BfIt of September. Then Chamberlain will have been nomina ted for Governor, ami said editor will be protected in the full cr.joyiuoni of lire speech. Moses can't go lor him then. ???> ??? ?j?>? I Editors must have good olfactory organs, and be able to scent ?langer afar of!', otherwise they may drive right into the arms of an offended reader. It is safe for them to keep in view the law of safo dis tances as applied to projectiles. This "plug ugly style" is not at all refreshing at the beginning of the week; Mr. L. C. Northrop publishes a card in the Union-IIerul\i .stating that he is not the editor-in-chief of that paper now. We have thought for some time that the keen and incisive pen of Northrop was absent from the columns of said paper. However it is a lively journal, and culls our "native young Governor" licentious. Pretty hind on a man who preaches. ? ii Mir? ? ? . <??i "The man who does his whole duty, with out fearer favor, is tho rising man lor Con gress."?Frtc Citizen. To which wo add, it seems the man who "writes without fear or favor," must fall or beat a retreat.

A protracted meeting will commence in Ulis place al the Baptist 'church on this evening which may continue the whole of next week. Wc trust it will be a successful revival in religion hero, and that the dis tinguished pastor of that Church will find n better reward for bis labors than that which he received over two years ago. Let the meeting be well attended, as prominent ministers of other churches will assist. Judge H?ge says the man who calls him a Moses man is a liar, and writes himself down as nobody's num. lie says with em phasis: '-What 1 desire is a good, honest administration by the 'Republican party* of the Slate government. I am opposed to the election of any dishonest man to the posi tion of governor, whether he is a native of South Carolina, Massachusetts or Ohio." According to this, then, poor F. Judas has no Slate officer at his back. TWO KLKCTWXS? .las. I). Tread well, Ksq., lias given a legal opinion to Frank Moses, Jr., to the effect that under the law there will have to be two elections held this fall?one in O.doh >r fur County Officers, and the other in Novem ber for Governor, Lieutenant-ttovernor and members of tho Legislature. What Judas Iseariot wants with a double election we are at ii loss to understand. It was our im pression that ono would be enough to Hing him in the Penitentiary. Jones and Bowlcy of Georgetown had a fight iu that place several days ogo, which resulted in the former being wounded in the Iliumb and the latter going to jail. It is said that IJowloy nailed the Committe of ways and means together, white in the cell. I but no one answerc I. Wonder whether he j thought he was iu a committee room or not?

Such articles ns hams, breakfast strips, butter, lard, fljur, molas ses, canned fruits and oyster, Northern* cab bage, Irish potatoes &c., he oilers for sale at the very lowe-t prices. Resides the above, Mr. Hrigguuinti keeps constantly on hand the finest brands of wines und liquors to be had. House keepers wdio are fond of clean and fresh groceries will find it to their interest to give Midler's ol l stan 1 a call. Wednesday last several gentlemen started from here bright and early for a chase after ihe tied footed deer of Great Branch. Among the number were Messrs. W. F.. Mc Michael, Willie Baxter, James Cannon and Johnny Meroncy. From the account given us of the drive, a lively time w as enjoyed. Johnny was the lucky boy and killed a young buck. It being his first he jumped three feel in the air, crowed and cut up all the gyrations of a victorious knight of the forest, 'fiie day's sport was wound up by a shooting match in which Willie Baxter shot tlo heart out of a black jack, ten inches iu diameter, Ecventy-fivc yardf. Bully '/nn thai of Willie's STATISTICS WORTil STUDYING? Iu 1808 the Republican vote in this Slate for President was 02,010 ; the Democratic vote was 42,287 : Republican majority 17, B70. In 1870 the Conservative vote was 51,487; the Republicans counted 80,071 ? 18,000 more than was ever cast before or since. In 1S72 Moses received 1)0,888 votes. The Union-IIfmid places ill full Bopubli ci.n vide at 78.000, and says: ??The census shows that the white vote ought to be, if all brought out, f>8,000. Taking this into consideration, it is unsafe to suppose: that a full Conservative vote is less than ?5,000?a majority for the Repub licans of only 18,000." Bcecher has made bis .statement at last. He charges Tillou and Moulton with an attempt, at blackmail. Bccchcr, if he knew it at nil, knew four years ago what he now slates. It is almost impossible that one should believe that a cbristaiu minister could carry pueh a secret, for such a length of time, wrapped in tho silence of his own bosom. Wc believe Boechorguilty of tho charges made against him, and in this desperate straight resolve ! to lie out of it ' Heuco his attempt to ruin the characters of Tilton and Moulton. If IJcecher lias spoken tho truth, then ho is not fit to prench the Gospel, for one so weak ns he must be, in o? ally and otherwise, cannot lead people to a proper approciatioi of Christ. Cardoza has given bond in the United States Supreme Court at Washington in the case of the Certificotes of ludeteduess. It will be remembered that our Supreme Court decided that the Treasurer was com pelled to issue them. Cardoza refused to be governed by the law m set down by the Chitf Justice and Wright. Wo hope the Supreme Court of the United States will re. ver.se their decision, and that that st upen dous fraud, the Republican Printing Cotnpa ny, will thus be shorn of its power to take more of the people's money. They get a large pay <o do the work of the Slate and ycl there are some members of the Legisla ture who fail to get copies of the journals &c. C. D. Korljolin thought of going to Sara toga to spend the summer, but upon Ids numerous customers hearing of his contem plated trip, and coining to the conclusion that no one oould supply Dick's place, or sed them as sound and cheap groceries, they drew up and forwarded in regular style, a petition praying said Dick to ro main in his store. He kept the matter un der advisement until this morning when he announced to us that he had conclude I not t > go back on his customers. Considerate man. He never forgets the interest of the farmers and offers them fine groceries wines, liquors, ales etc., at the lowest prices. Dick's health should he taken care of now by his customers since he has given up so much pleasure for I heir sake?. SritA US k STREET? These gentlemen have made wonderful improvements upon their rice ami grist mills. liming heard sc much about their establishment we gave them a call the other day which well repaid our visit. Their new building is birgt and roomy, in the lower story of which are their lice and grist mills.

Esq., was called upon and got off the following Impromptu rhymes. We suggested to Mr. Cooke that bis effort was an imperfect at tempt at doggerel, to which he replied, "I know it, but its claim t-> the dignity of poetry consists in its truthfulness." "All right," we replied; "it is our desire to get at the truth cf all things, tei l est rail and celestial, and especially at the shining amo rcts of the Commandcr-in-Chlef of the army of South Carolina." I.el us read : Tu MOSKS. Gov'uor, without a straight or Hush You have stolen without a blush,? Von have lied with wicked frowns, And longed lor women, mini s gowns. You b>ok for a re-election.

POWELL COOKE. 77//; LUTHERAN CHURCH? This beautiful edifice will soon bo com pleted. Situated in a central portion of Orangeburg, it is destined to bu one of our most popular and fashionable Churches. When finished its capacity will seat over three hundred persons. The Altar is one of the most exquisitc'y arranged we ever saw and the pulpit is equally as protly. Tho top is supported by scrolled brackets, and covered with velvet. Behind the pulpit against the wall is a large false panel w ith a circular head, containing two sinallcr ones in which it is intended that the Ten Comniundmcuts shall bccpiiuted in bronzed letters. Tho Altar is protected by a rail ling of beautiful design and finish. The scats are comfortable, the backs and fronts of which are painted white and the tops mahogany. There is one large half circular window over the door of entrance, on either side of which is ft stupendous bull's 03-0, set in with blue glass. These glasses impart a soft and delicate tint to the gallery and everything in the Church. In fact, the Lutheran Church is one of the living religious edifices of Orangeburg now and its popular pastor, the Itev. A. 0. Hough, will make it a blessing, we trust, to many a thirsty soul. no vi. trs ca nur a ? f. shop? We paid a visit to this establishment one day ibis week and were shown through it by its industrious and courteous proprietor, Mr. 1*. Doyle. The lower story of the wood shop wus the first place visited and we must say that we were struck with the style and amount of work carried on in this depart ment. There were about six hands here hard at it, each doing his own part, and turning out different kinds of work. Mr. It. II. Wiles, one of the finest wood workmen iu the county, was engaged on a body for a carriage, every part of which was put to gether so well thai the joints were scarcely perceivable. Wc examined several speci mens of wood work which had not Iiqcii painted. They were made from the best materials and carefully put up. From this place wc went up stairs where that indefati gable and model painter, Mr. James A. Williams, was at work with bis brush. Mr. W showed us a number of buggies and wagons he had painted, which for smooth ness and exquisitcness of design are hard lo beat. We took a look at the buggy which Mr. Doyle put in the last Fail. It is, in deed, 11 gem, nud although Mr. 1). didn't get the premium he hasche name of building the finest buggy ever put up in these parts. His shop has turned out sixty-five wagons already this year. In a word, he has just as much work as he can do, and a reputa tion which will make it necessary for him to enlarge his shops in order to keep up with the demand made upon him. We wish him all the success that honest labor de serves. COMMERCIAL. Irs* iiEPOltTK. UrriCE l?i inr. Oii.^K'tiiDvnr. Xumtk, August 21st 1ST?. rOTTOX?Sales during the week 23 bales.
