About the weakest and most stupid
newspaper article we havoseen lately was
an editorial in the Greenville Enterjirize and'

Sickening, awfully sickening!
If Chamberlain is nominated for Qov or
nor, two years from to-day South Carolina
will be tho moat prosperous Stato in tho
Union. Let tho Convention romomber
this.
Tho Charleston San pilches into the Ifewt

"Shoo fly, don't boddcr me." They both,
however, ignore the very existence of the
"Littie Joker?ihe Chronic-all.

DE. A. C. DUKES?
Advertisement in another column presents
a new face this morning. Tho Doctor ha-<
a reputation for selling puro and fresh
drugs, and has won a name for himself by
the manner in which he fdls prescriptions.
Since Mr. Wallace Cannon's recovery, he
begins to look bolter then before his sick

fresh ami sound groceries. He docs a stun
ning litjuor trade, and is represented as
selling tho '-pure stulf." Long life to

Judge Cooke is making a tour through
the up country, in the interest of Cum iber
laili. He declares that Moses is the biggest
scoundrel oulside of the Penitentiary. The
Judge is very popular in bis Circuit, and
wc are are pleasod to see that he is using
his influence on the side of Bcforin.
Judge Green of Siunter is spoken of for
Governor by several parties. He smells
yet of the Boll of 187-, and wont run with
Republicans worth a cent. Let him stay
where he is. It is claimed that he makes a
good Judge, and as sich ho mint cant!mm.
Wc can't trust him in any higher ollioe yet
a while.
Tho Xtics and Courier complains of the
curiosity of mail agents. It has failed tc
receive sundry letters, said to contain mon
ey, which were mailed to it recently.
Wouldn't it be a treat to get hold of ouc of
Moses's letters to the Xrirs and Courier ?
And wouldn't wc like to publish it for the
benefit of our readers ?

This is the largest dry good storo in Or
nngebtirg, and if one can't find there what
he wants, it would be of no use to hunt else
where. A polite and gentlemanly corps of
clerks are always ready to wait on custom
ers.
The Charleston Sun, in giving some ad
vice to the Charleston Convention, says.
'?A choico of new men must b,i so made as
to form a reconciliation between the two
races in the State."
This spirit was manifested some time ago
when tho Republicans turned the editor of
the Sun out of oflice. Perhaps that may
account for the milk in the cocoanut. Ho's
not what he used to be.
Mil. JOI1X DUKES1?
Cotton, which looked so flourishing a few
days ago, presents now a disheartening ap
pearance. Tho catterpillars have taken
possession of nearly forty nors of it already ,
and arc spreading daily. Mr. Dukes re
ports that his crop has suflfered considerable
damage up to tliis lime. He has one hun
dred acres under cultivation, and it would be
a heavy Iosb, indeed, to Mr. Dukes, should
the cattcrpill irs continue in thoir instruc

Mr. John Dnnner, the Chief at Cornel
son's mammoth store, is in New York, se
lecting a fall supply of dry goods, clothing,

enough to supply a regiment of Militia for 12
months. A special trnin will'bo chartered
tobring tho goods through at onco. Mr.
Cornelson says ho doesn't mind the cxponso
of tho thing, hi", main desire being to please
itis customers. Look out f< r something
grand as soon as Mr. Danner returns.

Speaking of Mr. Chamberlain and the
various Hoards of which In* wus a member,
the Columbia Phunir, which wus bitterly
opposed to hint a short time since, says of
him, in its issue of the 3rd ins! :
"By his own showing, the reasoning which
persuades us of his innocence must convinc
us" also that the conduct of the other mem
bers of the Financial Board, both ai mem
Ucrs of the Financial Hoard and individual
Stute officers, in corniest ion with the bonds
of the Stute, was dictated by honest uio
tivoi."
bet the State Convontion bear in mind
this one fact next Tussday, to wit .?Tf Mo
ses, Junior, is shoved upon us again, a* the
nominee of the Republican party, wo in
tend to bolt the ticket. It wont do. VY*J
can't swallow the brigand Frank, nor will
this County. Nominate him and count Or
angoburg County against you. He is not
fit to be sergeant-nt-arms of the House of
Representatives, much less Governor. Drat

The Frit Ciiiini suy8 "the Session of
Court in this County, is a great time for
gamblers and whitdroy-fuddlcrs, and that
some big olficials have their hands in it. It
is a great mistake not to have them indict
od."
Now if this is nnvnl for the officers of
our Circuit Court, or any of the higher
officers cf the Court, we arc authorized to
give it an explicit and pointed denial, If
however, the Citizen has authority for what
it says, we should like to see it repeat in
its columns next month what it Said last.
A rule for contempt might issue.
The Newt und Courirr after quoting from
several Northern exchanges, Bflys:
??These are the words of Republican
newspapers conspicuous for their loyal ty to
the Union and for their devotion to the
interest of the colored people. They
emphatically declare that the South Car *
1 inix Republicans must * nominate Mr.
Chamberlain.
*****
And in that case, as we have said before,
we should advise against any countcr-noiui
nations."
The Xewt and Courier is on the right track
now. We thought, it would get ashamed of
Moses alter a while. Hurrah ! for Chamber
lain!
A Democrat writing to the Newt und Cour
ier from Sunitcr says, "Of one thing I am
perfectly convinced, and that is thai the
people of this Slate will have to right things
themsehet, either through the peaceful
remedy of refusing to pay tuxes, or by the
strong arm of physical force."
How amusing this must be to Repub
licans. This correspondent arrogates to
the Democracy all that is human in this
State. Republicans are not people! How
sublimely ridiculous this spawn of a Demo
crat m^kes himself, by his attempt at
smartness." Dun Quixote was nit more
provokingly funny and foolish in his adven
ture of the dead body. Writ o again, Juniiis.
refreshing, indeed,'to f. j .1/.?
The Newt and Courier consoles Moses
thtisly '
"There is no danger of any disturbance
in South Carolina. Tlia whites are not
ready for a fight, nor are they likely to bo
ready, nor* do they want a tight whet her
ready or not. They desire peace every
where, and, for them, the presence of
United States troops has no terrors what
ever. Siwh soldiers as those who form the
garrisons in Charleston and Columbia will
always be welcome in South Carolina. And,
if they give the people a fair and free elec
tion, their claim on the popular gratitude
will be strong indeed."
Franklin read the above extract with u
great deal of pleasure, it is said. He has
no fear of fox hunters now.

our post office?
Is run on the most approved style, and
by men as polite and a liable as Chesterfield.
This is one of the most essential qualities a
Post Master can possess. Our friend Mr.
W. F.. Williams, the Chief, and his accom
modating deputy, Mr. J. S. Bull, aro the
right men in the right place, and manage
to keep things in first-rate order, consider
ing the large amount of work they have to
perform daily. The otHcc is being conduc
ted iu a manner entirely satisfactory to the
department, as complimentary letters to
Mr. Williams, from that source, will show.
There are about five hundred pigeon holes
in our Post Office, from which a mail to
thirty thousand peoplo is distributed, ho
sides the threo weekly newspapers publish
ed here. Mr. Williams sells shout ton thou
sand titamps ami five thousand stamped en
vclopos evory quarter. This will givoan
idea of the business done iu tho Post Office.
Long may our friends woyo.

HOMICIDE IX BAMBERG?
James W. Browning, Trial Justice at
Hamberg, was shot and killed on Saturday
evening last, at that place, by Jacob W. Crum,
and died trim the wound rcceiv ed abou
ten minutes after. Politics had nothing to
do with the affairs. (.'rum was arrested a
.-hort timo after the shooting, and, the
next morning. Trial Justice Hewitt, acting
as corencr, held an inquest over the body of
the decease I. The jury rendered a verdict
that thcdccoascd came to his death by a
wound from a pistol in the hands of Crum,
and that the killing was willful. It seems
that Crum and Browning had a difficulty in
front of the drug store of Wright & ('rum,
which originated from soma remark male
by the decaased. Browning then went to
Sinter's store, and leaving there a little
while after, he met Crum about half way
between the drug store and Slater's. Crum
accosted him and then shot him. Crum was
scat to jail this afternoon on a commitment
issued by the acting coroner, there to await,
his dial at the coming term of court. Brown
ing wns bunded on Sunday afternoon. The
excitement was intense in consequence of
tho ntfray, but everything is now quiet.
The affair was very much regretted, as both
parties had many friends. Wo learn that
Attorney-General Melton, Le roy F. Yoe
mans and Malcolm I. Browning, Esqs., have
been retained for the prososution.
