-Blore of the leorgin Ring Against the
South Carolina King.
The plans of the public enemy are
niow known. They have already
bought, at a third of its face value,
about one-fifth of the entire utock
-eapital of the South Carolina Rail
road. Unless the3 find us fully pre.
Pan't d, they will attempt to lease the
r11d at the meeting of the stockhold.
ieis to be held in Charleston, next
Tuesday. If they fail in this-and
we hu ve shown ohlewhero that the pro
irsed loaso would bo as disastrous to
flme stuckholdeis as to the people at
large-they will endeavor to continue
tleir purobasivg of stock until they
haVe a controlling vote, when they
will either o mpel a loaso, or, without
a loe.Ne, work the road against this
Sttite, and for the sole advantage of

tat the coming meeting any movement
looking to a lease of the South Caro
lina ltii!road, or to a change in its
wise and fuitful policy. There is
itock enough held by Sou'h Carolin

State, to reject any such proposal by a

Terrible Fato of a Lion Tamer.
The Bolton oorrespon-ont of the
London Daily Echo telegraphs, under
date of January 3d :
"Last night Massarti, the lion tam
er at Manoers' Menagerie, now ex
hibiting in this town, was torn to
pieces by the lions with whom lie was
perfortitig. lIo struck one of the

itn armtle*s side. and one of the liens
immnediately soir.'cd hinm by the scrtp
nntd tore it almost off. T1he other
lir.ns then sprang upon him and tore
* if the flesh comiphetely from thle low
er part of his back and thighs, and
it flic'ed serious injury upon his ch est,
breaking his right and only arm. The
exoitement in the show was so intense
that he s'ido dividing the cage could
not be got in. One of the lions then
dhraggedl their victim from the separate
complartmient back to the infuriated
y-oup, who again set upon him. The
l-artitions were at last got up. The
.angled body of the lion tamer was
then, recovered and taken to the in.

Anm exchange informs us of a "new
process" of inuring longevity, which
we are quite sure, will be found de
lighitful, economical, and easily prac
tined. The world is indebted to a
(California e letist for the discovery,
by which we shall be enabled to shut
up lhke a jack-knife, and quietly re
p so in our "little bed," with a con
seiouanehs that we will live long and
be healthy. The se'iontifie gentleman
referred to, declares that lhe has pro.
longed ,his life by aleeping with his
fiu ger tips touching his toes, and has
invented a machine to held the body in
thr~t graceful and pleasant position. Hie
contenrds that the 'vital electric cur
rente"-on the principle, we suppose,
of the smnoke-consumiing stove-"aro
thus kept in even circumflo, instead
of beinig thrown off at the extremities
and watted." Thbere is no patent
upon the great discovery, and any cue
with a suafiiently supple back Is of
course froo to try the experiment.
The great wone'er is, that the world

A Few Wordat the PubliC.
In behalf of the proprietors of this
paper, and in justice to its editorial
management, we desire in this issue
to address a few words to the public,
noncerning a speoisi matter.
We have been charged with un
fairness and injustice towards certain
parties figuring in the Legislature
from this County, also certain County
officials, without according them rpace
and opportunity for defence and re
ply. This charge we repel as falso
and slanderous, and call upon the
community at large to bear us out in
our indignant denlal. We have nev
er assailed any individual without
having sufficient proof to sustain
evdry allegation we made, nor do we
ever propose to do so. It has never
been our intention to wrong any man
without just cause, and when we do
commit such wrong, we are always
ready to answer therefor before a pro
per tribunal. As has been before in
dioated, our columns are open to a
free and fair discussion of any prinoi.
pie or idea, whether political, social,
or moral, but when the limits cf
propriety are transcended, and all
conideration for self-respect disre.
. h-de, dithn tic privileges of this
paper uease to be extended for such
purposes. Nor do we propose waging
"word" wars. We are entirely re
sponsible for what we write and pub.
lish, and will furnish any kind of sat
isfaction, that honor demands, to an)
party or parties aggrieved at our
course.
We have been threatened with
prosecution before the U~nited States
Court, This threat, we are happy ti
say, shall not disturb "the even tenom
of our way."~ We hold ourselve
amenable to the Courts of Just iv f o
every violation of the laws of oum
country, and will meet fearlessly every
charge that the malignity of our ene
mies can invent. Conscious of our
innocence, we shall move on in the
path of public duty, holding up for
the condemnation of the people the
miserable, despicable thieves and vii
laine, who rule this once prosperou,
State, persecute and tyrranaize over
her honored citisens, and lay waste
our land by a system of plunder that
would have shamed the Goths and
Vandals of ancient times.
Thank God, we are constituted ef
better material, than to be frighten
ed from the line of duty by irrespon
sible demagogues. We have enlisted
under a noble banner, and in a glori
ous cause, and may "our tongue cleave
to the roof of our mouth, antd our
right hand forget its cnning,"' if we
ever surrender that banner, or desert
that cause.
"Pomeroy's Denmocrat."
The boldest, most fearless and out
spoken journal of the present day,
is Pomeroy's Demoorat, issued in
New York city, under the editorial
management of M. M. Pomeroy,
Esq., otherwise known as "Brick
Ponmeroy." "Brick" was a devoted
friend of the South during our long
struggle for self-government, and ham
ever evinced a warm and lively Inter
eat in our welfare. The frands and
corruptions so popular with Radical
rule have always received from him
the severest rebuke and condemnation
that has ever appeared In print, and
hls pen portraits of the "national
humnbng" at Washington, known as
the Administration, are the richest
things on paper that we have seen for
a good many years. By some "Brick"

Ing with a party of political scoun

how any man can avoid extremos, for

leted.
Of all the rights and privileges en
joye4 by free citisons, none has been
so much abuscd an the t ight of suf,
frage. Particularly is this the ease
in our country, where the ruling pow
ers, through a falso iotion or ivil z..
tion and progreis, have conferred suf
frage without regard to the intelli
gence and worthinebs of those receiv.
ing it.
That the privileae is muuh abused
is generally admitted and in the face
of such an admnision, it would be well
to consider whether or not-there nay
be some remedy for the abuse. The
safety of free institutions demands a
pure ballot-box, and unless this kafe.
ty is properly scoured, one of the
safeguards of liberty is aurely imper
illed.
The only remedy that trike us as
practiocable in theco times is the regis
tration of voters, a i-yatemi practiced in
some States, but neglected in .ur own.
This is the only tnoasuro that will
check the frands that have been ex
posed in every election hold in the
State since it has fallen under Radi
cal rule. It preventa repeating, bal
lot box btuffing, and, in faot, every
Fpecies of frau-I incidental to the
present mode of conducting elections.
We have already suffered enough
from the corruption of the party in
power, and it is due to the white peo
ple of this State that the privileges
they have enjoyed since the founda
tion of our government should be pro.
teoted from abtt.e, and preserved in
their ancient purity.
Upon this subject we propose to say
more at another tine. Meanwhile we
hope to se, it agitated throughout the
entire State.
Defeat of the Metropolitan

On Thursday the bill to establish a
Metropolitan Police for the city and
county of Charleston was defeated by
a very decisive vote.
The main objec. of this 1.111 was to

force, and vest it in a few defeated
