ROCT COMFORT, Mo.i.
M troh 28tb, 1872.
I observe that Governor Soott, the
IcOhio Adventurer and "Bond Thief,"
continues to perpetrate his infamous
outrages upon the peaceable white
citizens of S. C. Robber Killer
8ott, has so disgraced the offBe he
occupies that he finds but few who
are willinC to take him by the band
and they (who are bought for a mere
iness of porridge,) are unequalled even
among the famed briganids of Italy.
A few more military orders, a few
more assessitonts, and the worthless,
treacherous imbeoile, who has wielded
the scepter of power, and who has
held the key of the vault of the State
Treasury ever since his ascent to the
Governorship, and who now has his
paws lb the pockets of the populace of
S. C., cannot find a corporal's guard
willing to enfoece his diabolical
sohemes-unless it be a detail fron
"Smart's Artillery." I venture the
assertion that he can't get one among
the survivors of the old "1loyce
Guarde," who figured so conspicuously
during the late "unpleasantuets." I
can never grow weary of writing and
r-peaking of the rascality of Grant,
Scott & Co. Their mean acts should
be promulgated throughout the land,
nnd held up before the people from
the rising of the sun to the going,
down thereof. When its first beams
gild the nountain tops, then should
we begin, and not through the day
should we cease to arraign them be
fore an outraged people. They and
their satelites are only worthy the
fate of enemies to honesty and civil
liberty, and the people should hold
them in disgust as long as life lasti.
Nor should it stop here. Animated
by a desire to rid ourselves of these
sappers, and encouraged by the re
cent "split-up." in their party, lot us
firmly plant ourselves upon Liberal
Republican prinuiples, and success
fully wage war upon the debtroyera of
our liberties. In local as well asgen.
eral elections bhould we continue to
practice that vigilan;e which is essen
tial to success. Let the farmer re
member that the present sacrifice of
his hard earnings is brought about by
high taxes, and these taxes are inpos
ed by Scott and his motley crew. Let
It be borne in mind that at any hour,
peaceable, -innocent citiz.rns may be
arrested by Etiopianse, arraigned be
fore bigots and tried for their lives.
That to meet the expenses thus in
curred, their farms, their stores, their
residences are all held liable to seiz
ure. This is a stern reality, and
since such is the case I can see no e,.
ouse on the part of any individual for
inaction, who respects even the law of
.self-preservation. There can be no
safety to perion and property so long
as the Radical party controls the af
fairs of your State. Until there is a
general wiping out of obnoxious laws,
gotten up by Scott and p)assed by the
Legislature, you cannot enjoy securi
ty. And not until peace, justice and
liberty prevails from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, can America realize the
prosperity she deaervea. Let us fill
the measure of her greatness while
it is yet in our power to act. Baluse
populi asprema lax. Hlurra i for
Grats Brown and Carl8Seburs, Long
andI honored may they live, happy andI
honored may they die. I desire here
to insert a few remarks for the color
ed people of lkirfield who eling so
closely to the Hadlemal party-to those
who profiss to be their friends. Not
long since I heard a member of. the
Senate of a certain State, and who
iu a colored man, complaining that
the white men who have orept into
the Radical piatty, hold th6 ofices,
t get all the money and only tolerate
the negroeu besasae they SN goave
nient as howeru of wood and drawers
of water, Now, hela In- a- potIton to

you see, men of color that you arte
warned against aspiring to any bon$
which might furnih piekings for your
lordly tuatr. You are liiformed
that you can get along moob better by
remaining in tir cabius, while they
enjoy the fruits of your laborr, You
are plainly told that if you aspire to
any office of profit that you are un,
grawful-that all suoh matters pet.
t%in to them-that they will look af.
ter all the prerogatives. This is no
tale of imaginary wrongs, lut the
truth, and to which you have daily
submitted ever sioe the inautigation
of the Radical party, and to which
you muot submit, so long as you con
tinue to support tbt party, A word
to the wite is bufficient.
I merely deSired to call the ittten
tion of the colored people to this fact,
that they may understand the depth
of the selfish meanness of their mas
ters. The clock strikes 12; and I
must retire to my nocturnl quietude
and endeavor to pass away a few
hours in the land of "Nod," dream
ing of the good old times of 1860,
when the spires and steeples of Winns.
boro were decorated with pioneer se.
cession banmers and the artillery an
nounced in eloquent peals the glad
tIdings of the secession of the Palmet
to State. Alas I what a lamentable
contrast there is, between now and
then. Sic transit gloria mundi. Per
haps it might be beneficial to offer a
supplication before retiring ; here
it is:
o Grant I our ruler who art in Washington,
Cursed ever be thy despieable name,
Dut if thou wilt deal gently with poor "Con.
feds,"
With Ihe -sRads" we'll try and dothe same,
For thy will be done, no longer, I hope,
Than we're permitted to cast a Liberal Re.
publican vote,
For then from thy throne, thou surely wilt
be removed,
Or badly deceived will be

Filk's Esate..
The New York oorrespoudent of the
Rochester Demoorat writes:
Speaking of Fisk, I am reminded
of a paragraph now in circulation to
the effect that Jay Gould hai recently
conveyed to the widow of tho former
the real ebtato counected with the
opera house, amounting in all to $I,
800,000. This is evidently incorrect.
Fisk had purchased this property in
dividually and had it duly conveyed to
himself by deed. It was Now York
property. Hence he purchased on
credit, paying small amounts and
gi%iog mnortgages for the remainder.
All of this property b in the widow's
hands as executrix luf the will, atid
she will sell it as son uas pos,ible. It
will, howeer, suffer a heavy 'loss.
Real estate has declined striously and
the loss on these porchases will not
b,) less than $300,000, that is if they
are pres.,ed upon the market. The
opinion is still maintained that Fisk's
estnte will piose insolvent. The
statemnei t to which t have referred
many have arisen*s froin the report that
the Erir offices are about to be re
tmoved to-the original building down
touwn arnd that the lease of the opera
house may be eneled oni the soseof
fraud. Mrs Fisk will have nio small
atuount of trouble with the estaita, and
it will be years hefore it will reach a
fina! aettlemnent.

The Cundurango Humbug.
After a protracted trial of cunda.
rango its the cancer wards of the
Middlesex Hopital in London, the
musdical authorities of that ittitution
hava arrived at the oonclusion that
the drug has no effect whatever on
cnneer. The British Medical Jour.
Dua, of Fvbuary 17 says that a recent
meeting of the Clinical Society in Lon
don, papers were red by the two gentle
tmen who had been conducting the in.
vestigation, in which it was diatircly
stted that not one single indication of
improvement had been observed in
any of tho cases trentec' by the alleg.
ed remetly. In fact, the disetume eith
er ran its usual course, or the
patients showed symptoms of derange
tneuts of s steIn which iight fairly
be attributed to the drug. At the
sitno meeting the fact was mentioned
that a large number of porsou3 in
England, misled by the reports thtt
had come from America, were paying
exorbitant prices for the nostrum, and
the feeling was strongly expaes-ed
that it was desirable tlt the public
shoild be made aware of its utter
worthlessness.
