A correspondent x>f the New berry Herald, sign-, ing himself "Vox Populi," nomi nates the Hon. E. 8. Keitt as a suitable person to represent the Third Conjressiosal District in the United States Con? gress. As. the election does not take, place until next 'faJL, this 'nomination is in: ample .time. The "loice of the people" in this region is profoundly etieent on the subject of electing any ont+p knock ai tho door of the Radical Congress. ' The- Sumter Nevs regrets to'learn (hat Mr. Lau n-nce M. Spann, an old and highly respected citi i<n of ^that District, iret with s serious accident vrhile riding on horseback; his horse falling, break? ing his thigh and injuring him otherwise. Two new papers are prospected in the State?the Ainen ?V?w,"by B*. W. Ravenel and: V- D: Kirk land,'and the Orangeburg News, by Samuel Dibble and Charles P." Hall. We wish these gentlemen i access in tho precarious calling thoy are entering upon. The Kingotree Star chronicles tho death of Jo? seph. A. Hemmingwny,' a prominent and useful citixen of that District, at his residence near Black Mingo, on the 15th init. Four hundred negroes left Ringst re* hut week, destined for Texas'. Ve,. learn from the Picken? Courier that the homestead of the date Hon. John C. Calhotu, "Fort Hill," near Pendleton, will shortly be sold at public auction, under a decree from the Court of Equity. The Courier is hopeful for the Blue Ridge Railroad, and Bays that the authority is good for saying that operations will be commenced at Knox ville, at an early day, for the completion of the road in Tennessee?& distance of,fifty miles. The District Court for Pickens lasted only two days; no litigation, and scarcity of criminal oases. Col. Norton acted as prosecuting attorney. The' Laurensville Herald iearns that a young min named Walker, of Spar tan burg District, was drowned recently m attempting to ford Reedy Riv? er. ' His body wasrecovered and taken to Laurens, and the jury of inquest found that he came W his death by accident, in mistaking the ford and at? tempting to cross where the river was not fordable. Horace Greely, freedman, was convicted last week in Charleston of the murder of Benjamin S. Rhett, Esq., in July last, and sentenced tobe husg on Priday, 10th day of March next. . The Edgefield Advertiser announces the death in thai village, on the 20th instant, of B. Jabez Ryan, Esq., aged sixty-nine years. Mr. Ryan was of an Edgefield family particularly distinguished during the Revolutionary war. The Advertiser gives an account of a fata! affray in the upper part of that District, whieh resulted in the death of Stan. Chap-, pett, a Toll known character, aad a negro man, name unknown. Two brothers Payne were in a difiwulty with Chappeu, who. took the negro to-the house of Frank Payne, and there shot the latter, o fired at Chappell after falling and killed him instantly. The other brother, Jeff, Payne, ap? pearing upon the scene, was fired upon and slightly founded by the negro; he, in turn, shot the ne? gro and killed him. Prank Payne is severely, if sot dangerously wounded. Editorial Pennings and Clippings. Our Platform.

Sot employed, let them manfully meet whatever destiny mny bo in store for them, 'secure aflcast in the possession of .their own" self respect. Last of tho Cohfc?emy. ? There were sold in this city on Saturday at pub? lic .auction, says the' Lynchburg Virginian, on ac? count of the United States, a lot of hospital or field stretchers, the property of the late Confede? racy. They were purchased by a commission mer? chant at sixteen cents apiece, and will be conver? ted, the cloth into grain bags and the wood into garden frames. It was a sad sight, and suggested mournful reflections. It spoke of pale faces and bleeding forms; it spoke of suffering and anguish ; it spoke of battle and, carnage?of defeat aad vic? tory. ; it spoke of hunger and thirst and exhaus? tion; it spoke of blighted hopes and broken hearts?of vacant seats and mourning homes; it spoke of furled banners and shattered lances, and iL spoke of a brave people ground beneath the heel of despotic power. We turned from the scene un? der the influence of these sad memories. A Remarkable Man. The DttbKn correspondent of the London Timei makes a euriona statement in regard to Arthur McMarroogh Kavanagb, recently elected to repre? sent an Irish borough in the English Parliament. He has neither legs nor arms, was born in this un? finished fashion, and in place of legs he has about six inches of muscular thigh stumps, one being about an inch shorter than its fellow ,* while his arms aro dwarfed to perhaps four inches of the upper portion of these members, and these are un? furnished with any terminations approaching in the remotest degree the form of hands. Yet he is a beautiful caligraphist, a dashing huntsman, and artistic draftsman, an unerring shot, and the most expert of yatchmen?a combination of accomplish? ment, under the circumstances of bia corporeal imperfections, that is certainly astonishing. He is about forty, years of age, handsome and manly, with a large family. His mind is full, capacious and well developed. . Extraordinary Story. j A correspondent of the Louisville Journal, wri? ting from' Carter County, Tennessee, relates tho. particulars of a terrible fucd that has been raging for twenty years between two families of thaf counly, and which he declares has caused the deaths of fourteen members of the respective families.' Our exchanges generally give circula? tion to. Ibis remarkable story, but we arc compelled to doubt the authenticity of the facts (?) narrated. I For instance, the feud began.in. the fall of 1840, i according to this -modern Mnnchausen, and has I thus lasted for twenty years. A member of one family, who was not enjoying life upon this mun? dane sphere at the time of the first difficulty, be? comes a middle-aged man before his time came "to shuffle off this mortal ceil," in obedience to the particulars of this pathetic narrative. After his death, the fend "went on for years," first one and then the other family losing a member, "until the war' intervened," and since the cessation of hostilities, the two last surviving representatives of the belligerent families engaged in mortal com? bat, and like the Kilkenny cats, literally devoured each other ! The reader will perceive, from this brief statement, that a period of at least forty years must hive elapsed to accomplish the horri? ble details of this bloody drama. Yet, wo are ex I pected to believe that only 'twenty years was re? quired to make one of tbe actor's a middle-aged man, and bring into the feud his third or fourth generation ! Verily, Ibis is too much . for our. credulity, and we regret that respectable cotem poraries furnish to the public such disgusting sto riea>;v?r?</ --.^ . Brief andi Bright Items* It may be gratify ing to* Postmasters who were indebted to*the United States Government before the war, and who were compelled to make their returns' to the Confederate authorities, to learn that efforts will probably soon bo made to induce the .Postmaster General to cancel their accounts. Our readers.already know that the spoon-loving Butler, has commenced a suit against Brick Pome roy, of the?a Crosse Democrat, for libol, laying, his damages at ?100,000. r In a late issue of his paper, the inimitable Brick says: , "As Butler, the bag-eyed brute, will plead his own case, when it comes off, and the editor hereof will defend him? self in person, there will be an interesting 'sum? ming: up,', if. we don't forget the use of words." There seems to be a universal popular impres? sion that if President Johnson should be impeach? ed and deposed, the President of the Senate would continue to hold the place during the unexpired term. This is a mistake. The same law which designates that officer as next in succession when the offices of President and Vice President both become vacant, provides also for an immediate Presidential election to fill the two vacancies. If President Johnson is deposed, we shall have a new Presidential election this year. So Bays the New York Foritt According to one of our exchanges, Gov. Orr has stated that ? company, with a capital of five millions, is now forming to commence a manufac? turing establishment on a large scale in this State. Where, when, and to whom this statement was made is not mentioned, nor is any information given as to the nature of the enterprise about to be started with such ample means. It is to be hoped, however, that the statement is correct, as the uso of so large a capital in any kind of man? ufacture will help to reconstruct our State on tho most solid foundations. Capital is one of the wants of the South, which it will be found most difficult to supply, and its advent into our midst should always be heartily welcomed. The looal editor of the Danville (Va.)' Time* is the most contented man we know of. Hear him: We are happy in being no more miserable?no wood?no. money?snow three inches deep, and more, we fear, coming?ink frozen?roller ditto? the devil with a bad cold, and our heels frost? bitten. We don't care a constitutional for the country; it may sink or Bwim; the probability now.isyit will freeze. Fact is, we've been out so long in the cold, we are indifferent, and don't know that we'd "stand treat" if Uncle Sam would offer to take us in. We aro pretty much in the temper of the obstinate urchin who had kicked the cover off and woke his "mammy" in the night, crying out "he was cold." "Well, pull the cover on you, Johnny," said she. "Shan't do it," re? plied the youth; "durned if I don't freeth forth* I" -.? gSf Reading matter on every page. ? t ?toajang? from our Exchanges. ?

General Grant has announced his intention to visit Europe this year, and will probably sail in April next, so as to be present at the Paris expo* sition. Ho will take his entire family with him. ? The State of Maine has, through her Legis? lature, ordered "the repeal of that portion of the statutes prohibiting,in Maine the marriage of a white person with aa. Indian, negro or mulatto." ? Tho colored population of Petersburg, Vir? ginia, are taking measures to provide for the indi? gent of their own class, and propose to establish a soup-house for that purpose. ? The Chicago papers are full of local items, detailing murders, rapes, suicides, burglaries, rob beries, seductions, etc. Chicago is a nice eity to live in, provided one don't want to live very long. ? Hon. E. B. Washburne, of Illinois, will soon sail for Europe, intending to be absent about three months. He is said to be suffering: from a spinal disease, and goes for the purpose of obtaining medical assistance. ? Judge Perkins, of Columbus, Mississippi, died recently, in the eighty-sixth year of his age. He gave not less than $80,000, of which sum he placed $60,000 in the hands of the directors of the Theological Seminajy at Columbia, South Carolina. ? A Gotham journal states that the prices of tho absoluto necessaries of life are higher now. than during the same time last yoar, flour costing from two to four^dollars more per barrel, and whiskey nearly twenty cents more per gallon. ? The Raleigh Standard is reproducing extracts from Confederate papers published before the close of the war. Its object of course is to do away with the prejudices and enmities engendered by the conflict, and re-establish the "era of good feel? ing." ? The Now York Pott (Radical) does not join in the "hue and cry" against tbe Supreme Court, but concludes that "tbe more temperate and sensi? ble part of the community accepts them asHnevi table, because in strict oonformity with the Con? stitution." ? An exchange says that the expenses of the Indian Bureau last year amounted to $81,000,000, and the result was the killing of 80 Indians. Rather expensive, if killing Indians is the business of the Bureau, but we thought its idea was to take care of them. ? "Simon Cameron," says an exchange, "began life as ajourncyman printer." Wo are not to un? derstand by this that be literally entered tbe world with a composing stick in his hand, but only that he went to the case as soon as he was old enough to know how to steal sorts and duplicate his proof. ? Wendell Phillips said, in a speech at Albany, that if Southern Representatives were admitted to Congress, they would distribute Confederate money freely to secure an assumption of the Confederate debt; and that he knew one Massachusetts Repre? sentative who could not resist such an argument for six hours. ' ? A Kentucky newspaper states that at the re? cent settlement of accounts with the treasury by the sheriffs of the various "wolf-scalp" counties of that State, not a dollar of money was paid over.?j These sheriffs liquidated tho entire taxation of their county with wool-sculps, for each of. which, in order to secure tho destruction of - wolves, the State pays a small amount. ? Tho Charlottesvillc (Va.) Chroniclt says: "Aunt Milly," a colored woman, formerly belong? ing to Captain James M. Harris, residing near Rock fish Gap, in Nelson county, died at the resi? dence of .that gentleman on the 7th instant, in the one hundred and t h irty.sixth year of her age. Sbe was a cotemporary of Pope, Swift, and Boling broke, though probably she never hoard of them. I ? In his commentaries on the Constitution, Judge Story; referring to the powers and duties of thePrasident, says: "In the exercise of his politi t col powers, he is to use his own discretion, and is accountable only to his country; and to his own conscience. His decision in relation to these pow? ers is subject to no control; and his discretion, when exercised, is conclusive." ? At the Southern relief meeting, hold in New ' York on Friday last, resolutions were adopted that a commission, consisting of thirty men, with power to add three to the number, be appointed to raise money and distribute supplies among the destitute of the South without distinction of race or opinion, and that the philantropic women throughout the North be invited to share in the responsibilities and blessings of the work. ? The Houston (Texas) Journal sums up the present condition of that city thus: "The weather is beautiful; everybody sober; the streets present a lively, business-like appearance. The cotton is coming in; citizens are buying supplies, fine coats, boots, &c. ,* freedmen indulging in fancy groceries and eatables. Tenants are casting together the odds and ends to pay up rents. Landlords are sitting in expectancy. Everybody is expecting large gains. Good luck to all." ? William Hartly, living near Wilmington, North Carolina, drove off a dozen robbers, who re? cently surrounded his house and ordered him to remain within while they robbed his meat house. Being willing to save his bacon, he loaded his guns and sallied forth, received their fire and returned it, and then retreated into the house to load again. He kept up these tactics till he drove off the party and saved his meat, and was but slightly wounded. ? A Washington dispatch to the Cincinnati Ga? zette of the 21st inst., says: "Governor Orr's scheme of reconstruction is being vigorously urged. It is substantially universal amnesty for universal suffrage, except that the South is not to grant suf? frage tiU the Northern States agroe to do the same. It is claimed by Southern men that President Johnson and certain members of the Supremo Court are now committed to the plan.* Few Con? gressmen favor the project, while most denounce it as a flank movement in favor of the President." ? In a trial scene, at LoutBville, Ky, the. other day, a young man, named Foster, was charged with forgery. Among the witnesses was the fath? er of the accused, who testified that the checks were forgeries. When asked if he had not paid similar checks for his son, he replied, bursting into tears, that he had paid between $16,000 and $l?, 000 for him. Tho heart of the old man could stand it no longer, being compelled to thus make public the fauUs of his son. The scene in the court was tad and affeeting in the extreme. : . - . i i THE FBEEDMXN'S BUREAU.

These parties are entitled to their opinions; I am to mine; and truly do I thank them for pub? lishing to the wise, the good, the virtuous,, and to the world at large,- the different estimate we have of what constitutes a gentleman. Some of- the parties are known personal enemies of mine bitter ones?and we have not even spoken in six years. Others of them have confessions of judg? ments against tho Guytons, which my property, or what ought to bo my properly, will doubtless pay. I have never believed a mun a gontleman who would take my land, bread, meat, mules, corn, cattle, hogs and other chattels, with a promise to pay, live on it for nine years, (hen make transfers of his property, (that I must not characterise as fraud, swindling, or robbery, lest, it lays me linble for slander or libel,) so as to deprive me of redress, thus securing for the benefit of himself and others, my effects, to the araouut of thousands upon thou? sands, which the best years of my lifo have been spent in accumulating, to enable me to educate n large family of little children; and when I appeal to the laws of my country, after magnanimously offering to take one dollar in twenty-five dollars, ho flies the country to avoid a Ca. Sa., which lie must fear will make him disgorge a part of the se? creted funds. I repeat my thanks to these parties for bringing before the public the difference in their and my es? timate of a gentleman. "You for your candidate, mo for mine." They may publish, Mr. Editor, as many certifi? cates of character as they please, but I intend to secure my eight or nine thousand dollars, or any part thereof that I can, for which they have had value received, in gold, or its equivalent, and re? tain nnd maintain my own estimate, and the right to that estimate, of what constitutes a gontleman, regardless of any dictation on the part of the signers to this attempt to whitewash a bad man.
