would say to those mornbers who had
sold out for less than thirty pieces of
silvor, that he had in his pocket a
letter from one of the thieves, in
which he (Hurley) was urged to vote
against ip oaoliment, and, namo his
fiigures. le would say to the hire

Byas hero junped to his foot, and
said lie had knoun Hurley when he

two shirts to his baok. Having said
which, lie sat down, with vaguo
threats of going for him in the courts
of justice. It was at the juncturn that
the merry twinkle returned to Ti'h's
eye, and with his usual cominal bland
ness, which had hitherto given way
to a oternnes quito unusual with the
man, he begged to be pernitted to
ask the gentlemen from Orangeburg
a question.
Pormn ion have been accorded, he
turned to Byas and said: Have you
not now in your pocket a check
for $12,203, which was given you last
year for reporting the bill for fitting
up the State House.
This was a hit that staggered Byas,
and with much swaggering talk and
many muttered oaths, he left his seat
and troubled Hurley no more. He
concluded his spoech by saying that
when men so far forget themselves as
to sell their votes, lie had sympathy
for them, but no contempt.
WINNSBOR O.
Wednesday Morning, Jan. 3, 1872,
Ilappy New Yeart 1-1-472.
Withi this salutation, we greet our
patrons and friends everywhere. To
all we any, may this be to you a year
of unalloyed happiness and prosperity,
and may the dark clouds of adveisity
never more overshadow your paih way
through life, and may succe.ss crown
your every effort, aimed for the right.
Once more wo stand upon the
throshold of a new year, wit I the irre
voeviblo Past behind us, awd an un
knowii Future before us, the one to
cutonemplate, the othor to sulve. Of
the former, how much would we recallI,
had we the power. May be, however,
itis well for us that ani All-wise Crea
tor has ordered otherwise.
Our sphere of action lies in the liv
ing Present. With it we have to,
deal. "Let the dead Past. bury its
dead." Our line of duty lies before
us, and in the prompt discharge of
that duty, no remains of the past can
serve uts, save the light of its expe
rilik,('.
The year, upon which we are just.
eniteinitg, promises to be fraught wi th
great andJ important events, affeoting
both our immiediate solves, and the
whole country.
It is but proper then that we should
prepare to meet the serious omier
gencs that lie veilad in the future,
that we should buchle on our arnior,
and march fearlessly to the battle of
life, con Qdent in the I'ntegrity of our
purposes, and in the noble resolves
that are to bie the beacon lights of our
actions, renmembering always that life
without a definite object is the life of
the brute creatiop, and not the desti
ny of the sons of God.
Ltus not brood over the past. It
is forever gone with its sorrows and
misfortunes, and can nuever return to
us upon earth. Its sad mnemories, it
ist true, will ever be prescnt with us.
The remembrance of the past glory of
our country will be always fresh in
our minids, and should serve to stimnu
bate and invigorate us for tho~rospon
siblo work we are now called upon to
perform. Our task is heavy and Ia
borious, biut it is unmanly to shrink
from it.
We are not gifted with the power
of prophecy, but we predict that the
year just begun will bring about more
changes in the present general chiarac
ter of' this country, than a like period
of time has ever before accomplished.
Many things, associated and intimate.
Jy connected, lead us to this belief'.
The great Natilonal election tharo'
out the entire Union is an event of
the present year that is looked for
ward to with extraordinary interest.,
as its result will undoubtedly decide
the destinuy of the nat ion for many
years to coame, and in the main solve
the political troubles that aillit us on
every sid e.
Cravo questions of national polity
aro before thmo highest taIibunal of' thec
land for settlement and adjudication.
Problews of serious imioort to all of
us, and affecting our every interest,
are awaiting the decision of the great
legal mnindr or the country.
Ini view of these all-important
events, we ask of our people to remain
circumaspeco, prudenit in their act!on
aihuinthaoidischargof pubnlic. .i..
ties, and over alive. to the true wel
fare of our mother State. Keeping
in mind that though adverse circum
stances now surround us, it cannot re
main so always.
In conclusion, we would say to our
young lady readers, remember that
this is leap gear, and. aqs your privi
lege in filling "the aching void in
your hearts."

The defeat of Gov. Scot L's impeach

the fruits of Radical Reconstruction,
the offspring of (Cngrora, to whom we
are indebted for all the misfortunes
that have afilioed us.
