With a great variety of type and the most improved machinery, he is now * prepared to print circulars, hand-bills, cards, pamw0 phlets, catalogues, and all other kinds of job work, ' as neatly and on as good terms as any other printing establishment in the State. ARTIFICIAL LEGS. Under the Act of the Legislature empowering him to do so, Gov. Ore has contracted with Dr. Douglass Bly, located at Charleston, to furnish artificial legs to citizens of South Carolina, who lost their legs during the war. Such persons can ' get Dr. Bly'8 "'Army and Navy Leg," free of cost, or if they prefer it, his "Ball and Socket Jointed Leg," by paying $75,35 from their own purses. The cost of the former leg is within the amount to which Governor Orr was limited by the Legislature; while the latter costs $150, and persons taking it must pay the excess. For further information, persons should apply to the Clerk of the Court for the District in which they reside, who has been furnished with the necessary forms and directions. CROP STATISTICS WASTED. As there were a great many varieties of wheat sown in this District last Fall, it has been suggested to us that a benefit to the fanning community might be obtained by a comparison of the crops made from each kind of seed. Such a comparison, ^ published, would enable fanners to decide upon the ^ quality of different varieties, and would also show which variety is best adapted to any particular soil "We are willing to give our assistance to the project, and invite from those who would like to see the matter tested, the following statistics: 1st. Kind of seed sown. 2d. Qctantity sown to the acre. 3d. Character of soil used. 4th. Name of fertilizer used, if any. 5th. Ouantity of fertilizer to the acre. Gth. Is umber of bushels gathered to the acre. If such statistics are handed us soon after harvest, in sufficient numbers to justify it, we will endeavor to get up a tabular statement, comprising the average yield of each varietv. THE DISTRICT OOUBT. Below we give the sentences passed by Judge Beattt, at the recent term of the District Court for York: * John Elmore, Freedman; Petit Larceny. Imprisonment, one day. This was a youth, 13 or 14 years old; took acute rheumatism in jail, was likely to die. had been libnn liia nwn rwvKmiianwi. and. after nartial recovery, was urged to run off, but refused to do so from regard to his promise to appear at Court The entire Jury had also, in writing, recommend^ ed him to mercy. Prince Mc Cants, Freedinan; Grand Larceny in stealing a mule. Imprisonment, two years, to be removed to the Penitentiary, so soon as he may be received. Isaac Wilson, Freedman; Assault and Battery, committed on a woman. Imprisonment, three months. Ben Philips, Freedman; Petit Larceny. Imprisonment, twenty-one days. This was a young man formerly of good character ; believed in this case to have been made the dupe and accomplice of an older adept in crime, who fled from justice and the State. Ephraim McGill, Freedman; Petit Larceny.? Imprisonment, fourteen days. He had endured five months confinement in jail, had suffered from the rigors of winter, and seemed debilitated in health. THE BURNING OF KINGSTREE JAIL. Our readers will not have forgotten the terrible catastrophe which occurred at Kingstree in January last, and resulted in the destruction of the Jail of that town, and the loss of the lives of twentytwo prisoners, who were its inmates at the time. Indictments for murder, predicated upon the supposed culpable negligence of the Sheriff, Jailor, and the gentleman who had charge of the keys of the jail at the time of the disaster, were preferred bv the State, and upon being presented to the Grand Jury of the District at the term of the Session Court, which has recently adjourned, true bills' r were found. The following interesting account of their trial, we take from the Kingstree Star: The prisoners were arraigned late on Wednesday evening, and on Thursday morning the trial j began, and occupied the time of the Court until! Friday night, 10 o'clock. Mr. Matthews, the Sheriff, was defended by Messrs. Hardee & Wilson; Mr. Beck, the jailor, byS. W. Maurice, Esq., and Mr. Barrineau (who had the keys of the jail in his Bissession at the time the fire occured), by R. ozier and T. B. Logan, Esqs. The State was represented by Solicitor Mciver. xne case was conducted with great ability, both by the defence and the prosecuting officer. There was a vast deal of testimony adduced from white and colored witnesses, and among the former _ was Lieutenant Ross, who was in command at this place, at the time of the occurrence. He was an important witness, and we regard it a lortunate circumstance that he was present to testify in the case, and to see with what perfect candor and impartiality it was conducted. No one, we feel certain, will say that any omission of duty on the part of anyjone connected with the trial was left undone. The counsel managed the defence with great tact and ingenuity, while the Solicitor displayed all the learning, zeal and energy in behalf of the State, for which he is so iustly distinguished. The |^' Judge, after a lucid and able charge to the jury, in which ho defined the nice points of the law which had been raised by counsel, and the application of the same, submitted the case to the jury, who after a deliberation of about one hour, returned a verdict of "Not Guilty." A Noble and Delicate Act.?The Edgefield Advertiser says: The New York Mutual Insurance Company, after incurring expenses of $500 on a marble bust of Mrs. Pickens, have sent it to ex-Governor Pickens, free of all charges whatever. This bust, which, with one of the Governor himself, was executed in Rome, by an American artist of great distinction, reached New York soon after the breaking out of * 1 l_ a!_ _ A. the war; ana was receivea Dy me omoers ox uxe said Insurance Company, and kept privately in their rooms, No. 61 William street, throughout the course of the struggle. This act proves that there are high-toned and true gentlemen in every section of our country, notwithstanding the general illiberality and narrow feeling engendered by the late barbarous war; and we are much pleased to chronicle it Nor can we refrain from commenting upon the rare beauty and artistic value of the bust in ques. tion. The original, lovely "as that first woman I whose beauty made Eden glad," is here delineated L in the purest "Parian statue-stone." It is a work of art, of which softness and loveliness are the KB striking characteristics. The figure is exceedingly delicate and graceful; the outline is finely varied in k the different views; while the softness of the form, the character of the face, and the adjustment oi the hair, are classically beautiful. Tiie War in Europe.?The telegraph contains tidings of neace. On this subject it is difficult to predict with certainty. War is, however, not to the interest, at the present, of either France or Prussia. The time has not come yet. Prussia will scarcely risk her late acquirements. Her policy is to procure German unity. This has first to be accomplished beyond hazard. She has nothing tc gain by war, and may have much to lose. Nor is France likely to^seek the encounter. She is not prepared. Failure would be disastrous. Sh< will hardly encounter, without careful preparation a power whose troops and munitions are already on a war footing. It will take France nearly a yea; to be ready. It may occur next spring, but the signs indicate a respite until then.?Charleston Courier. The South Carolina Rail Road Bridge ove the Savannah River at Augusta, caught fire oi Thursday evening. A conflagration was preven ted by running a locomotive to the burning sectioi and discharging from its tank a stream of water r " CONTRIBTJTORIAL." BY JAH. WOOD DAVIDgON. OOLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA 22ND APRIL, 1867. Beef. Prices are high. In market best beef 6ells for twenty cents. Easter. Our churches were gay and festive as usual on Easter Sunday. The wind was a balmy southeaster and the day as soft as a wedding day in May. Literary. Charles Gayarre, of New Orleans, has recently added a volume (the 3d, we believe) to his History of Louisiana, which was published several years before^the war. This volume brings the history down to 1861, and the stirring day of Secession. Sherman. A paragraph is going the rounds of the papers to the effect that General Sherman, in answer to an invitation to attend a Southern relief meeting in Chicago, wrote: "I cannot be present at the meeting, but I know that the people of the South are in want, and the charitable cannot do a better act than to supply food and clothes to our fellowcitizens, until they have time and season to provide for themselves." Let us give the Devil ? and even Sherman ? his due. juncioiyt It is said that Dickens is about to visit America, to give readings from his own works. These readings have been very successful in England; and will of course be so in our country. One rumor states that he will come in September, to remain in America until next Spring. He will of course keep to the large cities, as the kind of auditories he wishes are to be found nowhere else. When Dickens came to America twenty odd years ago, he wrote a book about the country and people that was exceedingly little and belittling all round. He proved the American people to be great asses, and Mr. Dickens to be eminent among them. Northern Lights, an adventuring weekly literary paper, established a very few months ago, has gone out The following item appears in the New York Times: "The Yorkville (Va.) Enquirer announces a nouvelette written tor its columns by J. Esten Cooke." Of Webster's Elementary Spelling Book, already 40,000,000 copies have been printed; and they are still issuing them at the rate of over 5,000 a day! There are at least a dozen other spelling books that are immeasurably superior to Webster's, which has done more to corrupt and pervert American spelling of English than all other causes of that kind combined. Humbugs. In a single country newspaper before us, we see as many as six humbugs advertised. The first one proposes to send a circular giving information of the greatest importance to the young of both sexes. The second puffs a nostrum that claims to make ugly folks handsome. The third advises us to send fifty cents to Madame somebody, "the world-renowned Astrologist Somnambulistic Clairvoyant," who in return will 9end you a picture of your future wife or husband. The fourth tells us of another great "English Astrologist, Clairvoyant and Psychometrician" who will send you a carte die visite of your is-to-be, and besides that an immense amount of information? all for fifty cents. The fifth is a clincher. It proposes to send you a Reparator CapMi (hair restorer) that is warranted to make beards grow upon the smoothest face in eight weeks, and make hair return to the slickest of bald-heads in three months. All you have to do is to send on your dollar and in return for it receive the Reparator, and with it a receipt for the dollar. If upon trial the result is not satisfactory, you can get your money back. Let us see how it works?you send on a dollar; you receive the Reparator, enough to last one week; but you must keep up the application for eight weeks, and this wjll require eight or ten dollars; but you have reoeipts that entitle you to a return of your money. The nostrum produces absolutely no effect ; you send on your receipts, expecting to get your money back. You either never hear from them again ; or else you get a letter assuring you that the application has been entirely satisfactory ?to the vendor! And you feel like a fool?as you are. The sixth is a White Liquid Enamel, that will make the Witch of Endor as beautiful as?your sweet-heart We have explained the working of one of these six humbugs. Does anybody need that the others be explained, in order to see the sell ? Surely not; at least no miserable fool, with as much brains as a chicken, can fail to see that they are all swindles. If there is any such idiot among us, who has money to waste in such, he had better send it on at once, because he is clearly incapable of using money ; and ought to be relieved of it. Of the same dishonest character are all advertisements proposing to send you things worth three, five or ten times as much as the money you are invited to send. Make it a rule to never try to get anything from a stranger at less than its value; for if you do, you will assuredly be sold. If a man tells you he will send yod jewelry worth ten dollars if you will send him one dollar, he lies; and you are a fool to believe him. Politics. Politics is a big thing. Mr. Perry advises everybody to register and vote "No Convention." The Columbia Phcenix replies to Mr. Perry, and well-nigh annihilates him; and proves that the course Mr. Perry recommends is very Perry-lous. The Phoenix further intimates that it thinks our old loaders would better fall back and let the*new regime prevail We concur. These old leaders have been running the machine for lo these many years; and the blindest of us begin to see that the machine has been badly managed. We find on all hands a growing disposition to advise these old leaders to modestly retire from the ' scene of their failure and let other hands man the ship. The fact is, too, that Congress in this Military Bill rather forcibly urges the same advice. As things stand, we consider it rather likely that these old leaders will act on the advice of Congress. The men who led us in 1860 are not the men to lead us in 1867, and for two reasons. The first reason is that they have proved to be false prophets. The second reason is like to the first?they failed, and in that failure lost confidence of both friends in the South and enemies in the North. Mr. Perry thinks there is hope to the South ir the recent Democratic successes in Connecticut. Almost everybody else thinks that the Demo *"*?a? _ i i v.. , crane jrarry is a, uirgc numuu^, Mr. Orr is evidently of that opinion. Who is right? In 1860, Mr. Perry was right in his vaticinations Mr. Orr proved that secession was a good thing but everybody thought he knew better, then. I We have a private theory of our own, that every ' body is always right?right under all circumstan ces and on both sides of all questions. Mr. Perry thinks talk about confiscation is al > bosh. ! Mr. Perry is right. i The abolition of slavery was also bosh in its dai ' and generation. We are partial to bosh. 3 We think it is unfortunate that the country ha; so little bosh that is available. Meanwhile (we mean, while all this discussior ^ has been going on) the Freedmen are silent. S. B. Thomson writes no more spicy letters t< i the Phoenix. A. Williams is silent Beverly Nash, like the patriarch of old, has folded his tent and journeyed into distant lands. These men and brethren may still be all right, butwhether soornot, they all writeno more, more's the pity; for it was as good as a play. We are partial to politics, because it is such a big thing, and because it is so funny. It is funny to hear Mr. Perry say that Congress can't do certain things, because the Constitution forbids them! It is a refinement of the non sequitur of Hedge, Whately, and Mill. It is funny to hear Mr. Orr denounce the Democratic party! It reminds one of the good old Pickwickian scene when Jingle was denounced. It is funny to hear men talk about the Connecticut elections as if anew Bethlehem-star were just emerging from a pile of wooden nutmegs and Blue Laws. It reminds one of montes parturiunt. It is funny to hear men talk about the course of Mississippi and Georgia, in filing injunctions in the Supreme Court. Piling injunctions is about as potent in the premises as singing pslams to soothe an infuriated Bengal tiger. It is funny to see how rapidly Beverly Nash has changed his base. All these things are very funny; and, as we like funny things, we like these. i LETTER FROM EX-GOVERNOR PERRY, j We publish below the following letter from Hon. , B. F. Perry, on the political situation: ] "The United States shall guarantee to every j State in this Union a republican form of govern- , ment"?Section 4. Article IV, Constitution of the , United States of America. Under this authority the Congress of the United -a '--J:? c OUIUJS, Uiuer CAUlUUlllg UUUI iucu ocaio uio ueuutore and Representatives of ten Southern States, has established in all of the excluded States a Military Government, absolute and unlimited in its powers. It is well known that these States have ex nausted their power and resources in a gallant and heroic struggle for independence and self-govern- j ment. They now have no alternative but unqualified submission to the militaiy despotism thrown < over them. It is to be hoped, ana it is generally ; believed, that the military commanders in the Southern States, will exercise their despotic powers wisely and humanely. It is the administration of ' a government^ and not the form of a government, ] which, makes it odious and oppressive. A despot- ] ism, wisely, justly and virtuously administered, is J the most perfect government that can be establish- ' ed. It is the government of God2 established by him for the government of the universe. < Five or six months ago South Carolina, with all ] the other Southern States, rejected with scorn and indignation the constitutional amendment, which ; proposed to exclude from office their leading men, ] and reduce their representation in Congress unless ] they permitted universal negro suffrage. Now it is proposed by the Military Rill not only to exclude 1 this class of persons from office, but to disfranchise j them and exclude them from voting in all elections, and at the same time to enfranchise their former ] slaves, and give universal suffrage to the negro.? Strange to say, there are many persons in the Southern States whose high sense of honor would j not let them adopt the constitutional amendment, . who are now urging the people to voluntarily swallow the Military Bill, regardless of honor, principle or consistency. I am happy to know that they are ( secessionists, and never were Union men. The inquiry is, which, then, shall we do? Whilst I have been writing, the telegraph brings the glorious news that Mississippi and Georgia have ap- ' pealed to the judiciary for the protection of their j constitutional rights as sovereign States of the A- ] merican Union. Would to God that South Caro- < lina stood by the side of Mississippi and Georgia, < in this their last noble effort to maintain their dignity and honor as States, and the just rights and liberties of their citizens. If this last grand expi- ; ring effort in favor of freedom should fail, then the South will have to quietly meet the tyranny of Congress; but, in meeting, she need not embrace ; the hideous thing. When the military order is is- ] sued for a registration of voters, let'every man, not ] disfranchised, go forward and registerjiis name.? < When the election is ordered for a Convention, it 1 will be the duty of every voter to cast his vote for 1 the wisest, best and most trustworthy men, who j are eligible to scats in that Convention. This much J he is forced to do for self-protection, and to keep the State Government from falling into the hands of unworthv and base men. He need go no fur- ' ther. Let him then endorse on Lis ticket, "Ao Convention." If he is a patriot and an honorable 1 man, he cannot desire the change which the Military Bill contemplates, and he should not vote a lie. t _ . With the cunning which always characterizes ] the tyrant, Congress has enacted that the people < themselves shall endorse the call of a convention, in order to give legal validity to its act?. Without 1 this endorsement, the whole proceeding might be | regarded as forced on the States by tne military ! government, and, therefore, null and void. Hence, the trick of i. .aking the people endorse the call of 1 a convention. It is to be hoped that they will not ' be caught by this cunning device, and that they j may be able to influence tneir frecdmcn to act with ! them. But should a majority of the votes be for 1 a convention, then it is to assemble, and not other- ( wise. When it assembles, the honor and destiny of the State will be in its keeping. But if the people should vote no Convention," what then ? The honor and dignity of the States will, at least, not be thereby sacrificed by their citizens. We shall remain as we are, under a mil- , itarv rule, until there is a reaction at the North. It has already commenced in Connecticut, and will, sooner or later, sweep over the whole Northwestern and Middle States. Then we shall be restored to our rights in the Union, with honor unsullied and the right of suffrage unchanged. Let us await this Democratic triumph, be it a hundred years, rather than seek new associations with our Black Republican tyrants and oppressors, and be guilty of the baseness of abandoning our friends ' at the North, who have nobly defended our cause for two years past, and sacrificed themselves in the struggle lor Southern rights and constitutional freedom. If we are unwilling to bear the ills to which we are subjected, for the maintenance of honor and priuciple, then we deserve our destiny. It is said that, if we do not accept the degrading terms now offered, worse will be imposed! Have we any assurance that worse may not be imposed, if we do accept ? Like the woman who consented to her own dishonor to save the life of her husband, and was then made to witness his execution! There a mi i. _p n i! is no iaitn in tyrants. xureaus or couuscauon arc futile. Almost every one has been pardoned, by taking the amnesty oath or by special application. The Southern people may be robbbed ana murdered, but their proDerty cannot be confiscated. In order to debauch prominent Southern men, offers have been made in Congress to remove their , disabilities, and, it would seem, not without success ! Threats to the many, and bribes to a few, is the policy adopted for radicalizing the Southern States. With universal negro suffrage and debauched politicians, we may bid farewell to all hope of republican institutions. Virtue and intelligence alone can sustain a republic. When the negro has acquired intelligence to understand his political rights, and property to make him feel an interest in the proper exercise of them, he should be allowed to vote. This principle has Deen , adopted in most of the Northern States, and is wise and just But it is wicked to put ballots into the hands of those who will be the passive ' tools of their employers, or the mischievous agents of Black Republican emissaries, s Nothing can be more uniust and iniquitous than the discriminating disfranchisement of the Military . Bill. A Union man, whose life has been spent in j trying to maintain the interests of the Union, but ' who was a member of the Legislature or a Judge ten or twenty years ago, and who, after his State 1 seceded, fed or clothed a son in the Confederate army, is disfranchised! But the man whose whole . life may have been spent in treasonable efforts to destroy the Union and involve the country in a bloody civil war, who was a leading member of the Secession Convention, and afterwards a distinguished General in the Confederate army, hurling his command against the United States forces in a ; hundred bloody fields of battle, is not disfranchised, unless he had previously taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States! There are many instances of tins character winch might ne mentioned, showing the injustice and folly of this disfranchisement It is believed that neither Gcn1 crals Beauregard, Hill, Magruder, nor General Lee himself, the illustrious commander-in-chief of the Confederate forces, is disfrancliised. But the humble Union magistrate, who relieved the distresses of a son or friend in the Confederate army, is disfranchised! There is not the remotest hope or probability of s the Southern States being restored to the Union till after the next Presidential election. Why. j then, should we voluntarily degrade ourselves, ana S've up our dearest political rights for a delusion ? 'dishonor must come, do not embrace it If we } are to wear manacles, let them be put on by our tyrants, not by ourselves. If a man threatens to lack you, self-respect would forbid your exposing your person to him and asking him to kick von at once and be done with it We have lived already two years under military rule, in great poverty and distress, and have been cheered all the time by the consciousness that we are not a decoded, though conquered people. We can continue to live in the same way two years longer, or, if need be, ten years, and feel a pride in knowing that we have maintained our honor, and made every effort possible to preserve our freedom and constitutional rights. A man who feels that he has dishonored himself, is lost, and so it is with a people. Let us live quietly and peaceably, attending diligently to our various vocation in life?obeying patiently the powers that be; put never think of voluntarily voting away our rights as a State, or our honor and freedom as men. Let us trust in a returning sense of justice on the part of our oppressors, which sooner or later most come. Have patience, forbearance and long suffering. The Southern States fought four long bloqflj-yeara for what they believed to be a sacred right, proclaimed by all the American people in their Declaration _ of Independence. Can tney not now afford to live four years longer out of the Union, rather than sacrifice their honor, their rights, as States, and the great republican principles of freedom ? B. F. PERRY.
