Citizen Poster is thc appellation bj
which thc Republican enndidate foi
Governor of Ohio ia to be known durinf
tho pending canvass. This is to call at
tcntion to tho fact that bc was staying al
homo amassing money for himself whih
Geri. Ewing and Gov. Rico were fight inj
thc battles of their country during thc
war. This appellation will loso Mr,
Foster a thousand votes in October.
Speaking of tho Democratic prospect*
its affected by the extra session of Con
gress, Senator Thurman recently said :
"I nm of tho impression, although I
may bo self-deceiving, that one of thc
pleasantest things that I Miall recollect
in after life asoccurringiu my public ser
vice will bo thc fact of this extra session,
1 think this extra session has dono nc
small service for American liberty. Thal
is my opinion about it."
Toxas sontimcnt seems to bo up to tho
proper standard on thc qucstiou of pun
Isbing mon for murder. Au indignation
-meeting in ont: County has denounced,
and a Grand Jury in another has pre
sented Governor Roberta of that Stato
as unfit for tho position of Chief Magis
trate, and for countenancing crime by
his acts. Tho ground of this criticism
is that thc Governor has pardoned two
men convicted of murder. If juries
would do their duties everywhere, and
grand juries would keep tho Governor
straight, there would bo numerous hang
ings for a ?hort time, and after thal
, .Ibero would bo very few murders. Tho
Texas grand jury has branched o?r iu
tho right direction.
The Constitutional Convention of Lou
isiana has framed os a part of tho now
Constitution a provision for supplying
maimed soldiers in that State with miss
ing limbs at tho public expense. A
number of the Republican member*,
including Pinchback and Wnrmoth, vo
ted for tho measure, and boneo tho Radi
cals cannot mako much headway tu
criticising tho action, which was unwise
and inconsiderate. Taken ali together,
tho Constitutional Convention of Lou
isiana has been a humbug up to this
time. It had better dissolve and lei
another and better net of constitution
builders bc employed. Such action on
its part would render tho present Con
vention famous in history as a hotly of
truo and disinterested patriots.
Iloforo adjourning tho Uuitod States
Senate did itself tho justice to reject the
nomination of tho notorious Corbin to
bo chief Justico. of Utah. Thus while
saving the people of .Uta:? from s, moat
villainous imposition, they have at tho
aamo timo given Mr. Hayes a direct slap
in tho face for bia shamolc&s violation by
this nomination of those principies of
civil ?ervicj reform about which ho so
profusely caatud some two years ago.
Mr. Corbin ?s now tt liberty to return to
South Cnro'dna to p.a?ticc law if he de
sires, but if ho doc? eo it would bo well
for him .o tako a courso of study as to
the differenco between "tho menin and
tho tcum" before returning. If his ideas
are not moro clear and bis practico moro
correct on this subject than they were
before, ho will not be here long beforo
General Lipscomb will have an addition
al convict under his caro.
Tho N-jw Orleans Cltu Tum shows that
tho Radical carpet-baggers piled up over
$ 10,000,000 bf debt against that State be
sides squandering ?MP.000,000 of taxes
collected in about ten yearn of their rule,
and thon asks if it is just that tho peoplo
should submit to this robbery by assc la
ing tho debt os a sacred obligation, which
query the Constitutional Convention of
that State has about concluded in ino
negative. Tho proceedings of that party
in this State was about as infamous as
that in Louisiana, though their stealing*
were not quito so great, and yet thora are
numerous Democrats in South Cart lina
who contend that wo ought to pay the
so-called debt, without any separation of
the good from tho bad portion of it. Tho
result, however, is likely to bo the samo in
both Slates. Tho people of South Caro
lina and of Louisiana are tho sovereigns
of their respective States. Their verdict
is that the fraudulent portion of thoso
pretended debts ought not to bo paid,
and as sure as anything in tho future can
bo, they will not bo paid.
"The Democrats of Maine aro in tba

The platform favors a currency of gold,

Tho New York papers, from time lo
time, lecture tho South upon ita lawless
ness and lack of ti o high standard of
morality which they affect to possess, and
yet the example of that metropolis is
not, to Bay the least of it, calculated to

Murders, robberies and outrages are
constantly reported, and even on tho
"glorious fourth of July" tho people of
that law-abiding and patriotic city could
uot be satisfied with the ancient manner
of celebrating the national birth-day, so
that in four separate cases murders were

the New York paper? which make a bus

r aside their Satanic Puritanism and look
i in their own midst at tho crime, and
shame, and distress which prevails, they
[ would find an abundance of channels ut

i advice, and lectures, and disquisitions
i generally. It may be, however, thal
such advanced thinkers os thc lleraUl
Tribune and Times realize thc full force
' of thc situation, mid know that thc ca
r rcer of crime is so firmly fixed in tht
; hearts of thc roughs of their own sec
? tion that they linvo" no hope of saving
L them, nnd hence engage in their genet
5 ous missionary work of remodelling thc
\ Southern people, in whose regcneratioi
i they have more confidence. Unless the)
. arc actuated by some such reasoning a:
this, wo must bc indulged in expressing
thc opinion that thc Northern editor

for ita short-comings while they sci
nothing but that which is commcndubli
in themselves, aro n consummate seto
hypocrites. Thc truth, however, is tba
' a few hangings would improve socict;
both nt tho North and at the South.
? Thc cxlrn session of Congress adjourn
- ed on Tuesday, first day of July, leavitij
the appropriation bill foi the services o
United States marshals un passed, in cou
sequence of tho President's factious nm
tyrannical veto. Thc issue of tho sessio:
has been butter than it promised to be i
thc beginning, but looking over the rt
cord wo are obliged to admit that neitlic
party has gained much by the struggh
for both havo shown bad managemen
and bad temper. At ono time the Prisi
di .t and the Republicans had a decide
advantage beforo tho country ; but th
divisions of the appropriation bills ntl
their passage by segments outwitted th
Republicans and has involved the Pres
dent io inconsistencies. Tho test ont
bas been abolished, and a new jury iu
adopted which will greatly improvo th
complexion of United Statea juries. Th
use of the army for election purposes lu
been forbidden for ono year, nnd, a
though this is no practical ndvnntug
yet il has ibo President's signature, an
bc cannot well veto a bill next scssic
which contains tho samo pr'-viso. Ti
veto of tho marshals bill wai a usele
and strategic blunder ?ti the Presiden
for be has defined the issues of the l\\
pnrties very clearly, when it was unncec
sary, for he could have allowed the bi
to becomo n law without approving i
which would not have committed him c
tho subject at o'l. Taking tho who
question into tho calculation we belie
that tho Republicans have made great
blunders than tho Democrats in tho ext
session. Tho Democrats havo obtaim
soino advantages, and if wo uso them ji
diciously, and commit no blunders ne:
fall, wo ought to find some., very got
campaign timber out of this session
work.
Tho Constitution of New York fix
the term of tho different officers of th
State, so that an election for nil of the
comes in the same year only in eve
sixth year. Tho campaign which com
od" tbero this year will bc unusually i
teresting, as all of these officers aro
be elected this time, and upon tho rest
will almost certainly depend the elcctoi
vote of the Stato in 1880. Either par
that can now carry thc State and g
control of all of ita offices will bo mo
than likely to succeed in carrying it 1
tho presidency next year. Spcculatio
as to tho nominations are therefore bei
made ni to who will bo tho respecti
candidates for tho gubernatorial eba
and some very wild guessing is bei
made. Somo time ago a "Washingt
correspondent predicted that Tdd
would be tho Democratic candidate, a
Conkling tho Republican, and tl
whichever ono of them was elect
would bo tho next Prosldent. This
scarcely correct, though it is by no men
impossible. There can be no donbt tl
each party will nominato tho strong
man it can produce, for tho election ?

to tho Stato of Now York, but aiso
; tho political parties of the United Stat
On the Democratic sido Governor Rt
inson seems to bo the most prom i nt
candidate, and bis selection would g;

success. He is in favor of making I
fight on the question of Federal int
once at the polls, and would unite l
different wings of tho party ns complc
ly a-i any man in tho Stato.
General Ewing is preparing for a v
orous canvass iu Ohio. Tho first spc<
of tho campaign was mado a few nig
ago at Columbus, in which ho clearly
fined the issues of tho coming conti
and laid down his line of fight. 1
main differences are upon the subject
finan?a nnrl nations! centralization. ?
on finance ho advocates tho unlimi
coinage of silver, tho abolition of natl
al banks, and the substitution of gre
backs for their circulation. On i
question of centralisation he defined
position in tho following words:
speak in no spirit of partisanship, but
the candor of conviction, when I say t
tho obliteration of the veserved rights

of the constitution, has become the c

the Republican party, by which they
impoverishing the masses and absorb
unlimited power in the general gove
mont, are only steps towarde the ultim

Murders are becoming entirely too
common in Bolilh Carolina. Scarcely n
week transpires without several of tit?4*??
atrocious crimea in ou?- lillie common
wealth, an?l humanity, UH well as the
peace anil order of society, demands that
a stop should be put to this shooting or
killing men. Wu need n number of
hangings distributed over the different
parts of the State to convince people
that it is wrong to kill their fellow-men,
ami especially to show them if they ?lo
so that a Sheriff will in due season break
their guilty necks for the crime. There
is no palliation for it, because it isa very
grave offense, and very dangerous to
peace and order. The good citizens of
thc State who value the reputation of
our government, who desire pence and
order, and who love justice, should cum
bine to produce such a sentiment through
out the .State as will secure the convic
tion nnd execution of every murderer.
The sentimentality which frequently se
cures for them immunity because a jury
is sorry for the family or pities a man,
should bo dispelled) and they should be
taught that when they so far transgress
tho law of 'ind and the law of men as to
kill a fellow-man, thc gallows is their
certain doom. It is limo for thc Tress of
the State to speak out and usc its power
ful influence to stop thc flow of human
blood and loss of life, which occurs en
tirely loo often for our good name or for
thc welfare of our citizens.

WASHINGTON, July 2.
Of tho general rv PU 11* ol* thc session
it is not necessary that I should say very
much. To this may bo added that the
Democratic members of Congress aro all
well pleased with what has been accom
plished, as they have abundant reason to
be in view of thc formidable opposition
which they encountered at every step of
their progress. f
OOVKltNOlt HAMPTON
left Washington for Columbia yesterday
afternoon, lipon taking leave of him I
asked bim directly what he thought of
thu situation, ami hu replied promptly
and earnestly, that he was very well sat
isfied, as all has been done which tho
party set out tu do, and tho dangers
which threatened its welfare have been
wisely and safely averted, it may not be
amiss to state in this connection that a
large share of the credit duo for this suc
cess is generally accorded to Senator
Hampton himself, as his wise counsels
and restraining influence have been felt
in every move that has been made since
he took his scat. Senator Bayard took
occasion yesterday tn thank him earnest
ly for his efforts, and said, in substance,
that what hus been accomplished of
good would not have been accomplished
without his aid.
SENATOR BUTLER.
In the interview with Senator lintier,
which was recently published in thc New*
aiid Courier, ho pointed out very clear
ly tho important advantage that had
been gained by the Democrats in t
single matter of securing the orgai .
lion of the present House, and \e
opinion be then expressed, that this one
point nlone justified thc call of the extra
session, Is now shared by all who have
looked into the matter. Still another im
portant consideration that is insisted
upon is thc manifest good that has been
effected by the long continued and gen
eral discussion of tho
VtT?L PRINCIPLES
of our Government which has been
forced by tho Democrats in Congress, and
which bas been kept up in tho press of
thc country, all to the enlightenment and
information of tho people who have
heard nothing of the kind before for
nearly twenty years, and who wcro in
dauger of losing sight of them altogeth
er. Perhaps, however, the best evidence
of the good that has been done, and of
the success that bas been achieved by
thu Democracy, is to be found in tho va
rying mid conflicting statements of the
Radical press. Such pupers as tho Now
York Times, Chicago Inter-Ocean and
Washington National Rejntbli'in, for in
stance, appear to have no com non ground
tn stand upon, and no ono of tn em occu
pies exactly tho samo position for two
days in succession. They are evidently
undecided as yet whether to maintain
that tho Democrats have accomplished
all they set out to accomplish, and so
keep up tho cry of
"CONFEDERATE" ENCROACHMENTS
in tho ro-iscd Statutes, on tho one hnud ;
or to mako light of tho extra session as
useless, and twit their antagonists with
utter failuro at every point, on tho other.
They arc rather inclined to the first view,
however, and will doubtless adopt it
unanimously bcioro many days.
A IlAniCAI. CONSPIRACY.
Thc Post, published here, declares,
this morning, that it has reason to believe
..hat tho marshals all over tho country
have been instructed to mako as much
troubl? as thoy can, anti impedo the ac
tion of the courts aa far as they can, for
tho purposo of furnishing a plausible ex
cuso for an extra scssiou and of supply
ing tho Radicals with campaign mate
rial. It also states that, in accordance
with this scheme, Marshal Fitzsimmon*,
of Georgia, (tho only Democratic mar
shal in thc country), will bo removed, as
being in the way ot a successful prosecu
tion of this scheme. How much of all
this is true I cannot tell, and perhaps
tho l\i.! alono knows. Tho removal of
Fitzsimmons would lend strong confir
mation to the thee 7.
RIVER SURVEYS.
Tho members of our delegation have
been working diligently for somotimc in
the endeavor to havo a number of the
larger rivers of tho Stat? explored ?nd
surveyed with a view to their future im
provement, I understand from thom
that they have succeeded in interesting
somo of the officers in charge, and it is
Srobable this important work will bo
ono beforo many days.
ABSENTEEISM.
It is not so well known as it should bc
that Congress, for weeks during tho ex
tra session, was reduced to a baro work
ing quorum by tho absence of members
who preferred to spend their timo in pur
suit of pleasure, Or io attend to private
business at tho public expense. It is
I"list possible, too, that very many of tho
louorable truants desired to avoid tho
trying call for yeas and nays upon tho
delicate if momentous issues considered
and decided within tho past few months.
Had ali tho Democrats been present who
ought to have been present through
out so important a session much delay
and trouble would havo been avoided,
and the session it would have been prob
ably and materially shortened. Such de
sertion at auch time should not bo ignor
ed and should be remembered against
next election day.
It ia a matter for proper prido with
every South Carolinian that our cntiro
delegation remained at their posts, and
lid their whole duty like honest and fear
less men throughout tho whole trying
term.
Tho distressing circumstances under
which Governor Hampton came to tho
front at tho critical hour aro well known
to most of our people, but lt romains for
tue to say in his behalf, what would not
be known otherwise, that be has remain
sd hero and avteuded nearly every day's
proceedings as a positivo sacrifice of bis
health not to say comfort,, fie ha3 suf
fered greatly abd ill mont incessantly day
ami night ?mee li? arrived herc, but has
been itt hi? scat at all times when mat
tera of importance were pending and fre
quently through whole day? of tiresome
debate.
f: mator Hutlci wan positively ill for
?? mc lime, but remaiuied iiere on duly
whet, he ought to have been in bed, and
from the beginning of the session to its
close was in his place except for the few
days when he was called to South Caro
lina on matters of great moment to the
State.
1 wiii Hoi particularize in the ease of
each of our faithful representatives, but
I may he allowed to give my humble and
unsolicited testimony that they each and
all were steadfastly in their places, with
little or no intermission,and that for but
brief intervals, from March until to-day.
NV hatever may be said in regard to
absenteeism passes harmless over their
heads, seeing that ever- vote that has
been taken in the House shows their
names recorded for yea or nay, and for
better or worse, as thc interests of their
people and the people of the whole co-m
iry demanded, i do not know of another
.-.tate that can show so clean and honora
ble a record. C. McK.
A SHOCK i N<? AND BLOODY TKAGEUY I
IN G KO KU KTO w N -A correspondent of
the Charleston Newt and Courier writing
from Georgetown, H. C.. under date of
July 1, gives the following particulars of
a shocking murder in that town on that
duy :
Between the hours of \2 M. nnd 1 I*.
M. to-day, this town was suddenly thrown
into un unusual state of excitement, by
the shooting to death of Albert DeLeltie.
by one George Smith, who claims to hail
from Fayetteville, S. C. Thc tragedy
took place in thc saloon ill rear of Messrs.
Wreue and Liliciitbal's store on Front
street. I am informed that the shooting
had its origin simply from practical jokes
indulged in by both of them upon a gcu
eral topic. Smith finally came to a con
clusion that DcLctlic was too personal, a
few harsh words were then exchanged,
when Smith drew his revolver and tired
at DcLettie, who fell lo the floor in a
doubled up position, the ball having en
tered his left breast, and penetrated to
tho heart. While he was in this condi
tion Smith fired the second shot, which
entered tho skull just above tho fore
head. Dr. T. P. Hailey was summoned
and he gave it as his opinion that either
would have caused instant death. Smith
immediately after committing the deed
Heil, running down thc street, pursued by
the citizens generally. Ho was finally
captured by Samuel J. < Uiver and Pliconis
Coil. The death of DeLeltie waa now
generally known in town, the excite
ment increasing; thc cry of lynching
was raised, and demonstrations to that
effect were made. There were, however,
a sufficient number of law abiding citi
zens to succeed in getting him securely
incarcerated in jail.
This man Smith is a stranger amongst
us, having only been here two or three
months, employed ut the Palmetto Lum
ber Mill of this town. He is a young
man und uumnrricd.
Mr. DeLettie was engineer of the
steam lighter Vesta which plies up and
dowu Black Uiver and Mingo Creek. Hu
was highly thought of ard very lively
and good humored in his manners. His
home is in Wnccamaw, Horry County,
where ho has a wife and three or four "lit
tle children.
Coroner Kenty Tucker empanelled a
jury and held un inquest over the body.
Tho jury, after carefully examining into
the affair, rendered a verdict 'that the
deceased was killed by a pistoi in tho
hands of George Smith, in manner and
form ngninst tho peace and dignitv of the
State."
POISONED DY CANNED VEGETABLES.
- Four o? the crew of tho fishing sloop
Laconic, commanded by Captain Frank
li;. A. Smith, while at Coney Island, after
eating heartily of canned beans und corn,
cooked together, on tho 2Gth ultimo, wero
suddenly seized with violent cramps and
severe vomiting, which rendered them
completely unfit for duty. Captain Smith
without delay procured the services of a
doctor at tho island, who after hearing
the tintements of the men, pronounced it
a case of poisoning from eating canned
corn and beans. He immediately pro
scribed the proper remedies, and advised
that if the men grew no befter they should
bo removed to their homes. On the sec
ond day ufter tho corn was eaten another
of tho crew was attacked in a similar
manner, and Captain Smith, not being
able to take the sick men to their homes
on his own vessel, chartered thc small
sloop N. E. Sinclair, and after having the
men placed carefully in the cabin, and
providing them with mattresses and pil
lows, brought them to Brookhaven, a vil
lage a little south of Yophank, Long Is
land, heine about twenty miles east of
Fire Islam!, where thoy reside. Immedi
ately on arriving Dr. Baker, a nromiueut
physician of this place, was called in, and
pronounced the condition of two of tho
crew extremely critical.
In an interview with your correspond
ent this afternoon the Captain stated that
ho started with his vessel from Yaphank
last Monday, stopping first at Sayville,
L. I., to purchase his stores, which were
obtained from Mr. Perry, ono of the own
ers. Among tho stores were three cans
of corn. He also eaid that ho had been
initho habit of purchasing his stores there
weekly ; that ho had frequently bought
canned articles and never beard any com
plaint in regard to their being poisonous,
nor has any Of his men over been attack
ed before. The doctor to-day says tho
conditiou of the two men remains un
changed and their chances of recovery
are doubtful.
Thc affair is tho common talk among
fishermen as well as among others in tho
vicinity of Brookhaven, and is creating
great excitement among persons who are
accustomed to using canned articles.

HOMICIDE IN BARNWELL.-Wo regret
to say that a homicide occurred in tho
county on Wednesday, tho 25th, on the
plantation of Mr. O. I). H. Wilson, near
Beddoe. Tho deceased was Titus Hay, a
colored man. who was killed hy Mr. wil
son. Tho facts of the case, as we havo
gathered them from a relinL-e source, are
as follows: Titus Hay worked on Mr.
Wilson's placo; Mr. Wilson had bad
dogs, kept for tho protection of his nineo
and oroperty; these dogs seemed to oo a
sot ,\ - ? constant annoy miro to Titus
Hay. and tho day before the homicide ho
had attempted to kill ono of tho dogs.
Bofore this. Hay lind carried a pistol, and
being asked why he did so, said he in
tended to kill Wilson's dogs and him al
so if he resented iL On the next daj,
after attempting lo kill the dog. Mr. )
Wilson met Hay in tho field and asked
him about trying to kill his dog. Titus
flow into a passion and said ho would kill
hia'dogs if they inferferred with him. Mr.
Wilson told him to leave his plantation,
and Hay replied that be would not unless
he was paid. Mr. Wilson agreed to pay
him, but tho negro said ho would not
leave his house until January. Mr.
Waihou told him he would pay him and
tb*t he must leavo his place, when Titus
flew al him with a pistol in ono band and

self from the rain leaned against a small
pine tree. In a few momenta a deafening
report was heard. The lightning had
struck the tree against which Isaac was
leaning, killing him instantly. Thu
shock knocked the boy insensible for
some time, but be soon recovered. Both
mules were also prostrated by thc light
ning's fearful force, but they su fibred no
permanent injury except that one lost an
eye.
Walhalla Courier: Mr. H. IS. Stribling,
a student at Adgcr College, died on the
2'Jth of June in Walhalla.The board
of trustees of Adger College by resolu
tion conferred the degree of Doctor of
Divinity on Kev. Donald Prazier o'"
Georgia.A drove of sheep, 100 in
number, belonging to Mr. W. A Adding
ton, of Macon County, N. C., passed
through town on yesterday on their way
to Baltimore. The freight from Seneca
City on the Air Linc and other roads to
Baltimore is very little more than to
Charleston.
Edgcfield Advertiser: Last week Mr.
Clisby received fiom Columbia fifteen
more convicts to work upon the Kdge
tield and Trenton Railroad. He has
now fifty-seven in all.At our term of
court, beginning ou the first Monday in
October next, Judge Mackey will preside.
He will probably, therefore, be the Judgo
in the Booth-Touey cases. It will be re
membered bc was in Edgcfield when the
dreadful a'fair occurred.
Clarendon Press : A negro while
ploughing on Mr. Levi McFadden's plan
tation last week, ploughed up an old box
which had been buried some sixteen
years. It contained ?$25 in gold, ubout
?12 in Rilver. a silver watch and gobi
chain, and several othor pieces of jewel
ry. It was buried during the war and
j afterwards hunted for but could not be
j found. Tho chain has been corroded
uutil it is half gone.
Abbeville Press and Banner: During
the past few days, in varions parts of this
county, the parched earth and the wither
ing vegetation have had most refreshing
rains. We have gathered tho finest crops
of sinai! grain that were ever made in
Abbeville Comity, and if tho latter rains
shall favor us, we may yet hope for good
crops of corn and cotton.
Darlington Newt : On Wednesday af
ternoon of last week during the severe
thunder storm which passed over this
place, the house of Mr. Willie Isgate,
about four miles from town, was struck
by lightning, and his wifo received a
shock from which she has not fully re
covered, being partiaiiy paralyzed and
unable to walk.
Spartanburg Herald: Tho vein of min
eral struck in digging thc well on tho lot
of thc new Baptist Parsonage still excites
considerable comment. No mineralogist
has examiued it yet, and speculations are
numerous, some thinking it garnet and
others rose diamonds.
Lancaster Ledger: Wo learn that a
hail storm in the neighborhood of Mr. J.
M. Harper's, on Wednesday last, did
considerable damage to the crops. Other
sections report good and seasonable raius
on that day.
Marlboro' Planter: Mr. Duncan W.
Moore died at his residence in this coun
ty on the 2Gth ult, after an illness of
several months.
Barnwell People: Kains have been
abundant lately. Crops are looking fine,
and farmers aro cheerful in consequence.
Florence Times: Wo are sorry to learn
that tho iron foundry started in tho old
Northeastern Railroad shops, under very
flattering prospects, is to be discontinued.
It was just becoming known that such a
thing existed at Florence, and in the
course of year or co wo have little doubt
that it would havo become a successful
enterprise. "To labor" is iv very neces
rary element of success ; to wait ofteu
equally as important.There aro ru
mors afloat that a prominent and well es
tablished har? "are houao of Columbia will
establish a branch businessdiero in thc fall.
Wo incline to ibo opinion that this is a
shrewd and sagacious movement. It has
been some time a wonder with us who
would see tho coming necessity and leap
into thc right place at tho r'ght time.
?Sumter Watchman : Last week a sad
accident occurred in Brewington, Claren
don County, which resulted in tho death
of Captaiu Edgar Plowdcn's son Edwin,
caused by tho accidental discharge of a
shot-gun in tho hands of his older broth
er, with whom bo was pursuing a bear in
ri thicker.. Tho gun was caught by a
bush, which caused it to go off, and the
entire charge entered young Plowdcn's
thigh, from tho effects of which he died a
few days after.
Orangeburg Democrat: Very nearly
every section of the county has bad rain
.lu. i.ii. ti.*-. n ?. ? ".ci enough tc Sleet
tho demands of the fruiting crops.
Considerable hail fell in sorao portions of
tho county on 8unday cvoning. Tho
damago, however, to gardens ond crops
was slight.A little son of Mr. Rohn
dorf waa bitten on Sunday evening last
by what was supposed to bo a mad cat.
Orangeburg Times: Tho Santeo River
was lower last week than it has been for
many years.Somo time ago the Or
angeburg Agricultural and Mechanical
Association appointed a committco to
raiso subscriptions for tho purpose of es
'eblishing a factory. The capital to be
iA?8cd was $25,000, which tho committee
failing to obtain, tho enterprise was
abandoned.
Ninety-Six Guardian: Mrs. Cohen's
residence at Duo West was broken into
l-.st Fi ?day night and a number of trunks
forced and searched for money, lt is not
known who did tho deed, nor he w much
was lost.
Morry Telephone: Nat. Patrick, a man
between 35 and 40 years of nye., living
about ono mile from Little "*Vi?>r village,
in this county, committee' luicido on

outhouse near his residence, by attaching

tVulhullu female Colleges?
Correspondence nf the tfewsttnd Courier, July QM
Tim exercises of Adger College began
on bund-iy Wltll thc delivery of thc Dae
calaurcate Kennon in tiie Lutheran
Church, by the Rev. J. C. Forman,
1). D., president of Furinan University.
The church was crowded with the citi
zens of Walhalla ami visitors from else
where, the neat gray uniforms of the ca
dets being massed at the front.
On Monday thc examinations in the
academic department look place, and the
large number of persons present were
much entertained by some very credita
ble declamations by the younger students.
On Monday evening
J HE ALUMNI ADDRESS
was delivered by Mr. W. J. "card, a
member ol' the first graduating class of
the College. The address was an inter
esting and appropriate one, and appar
ently gave much satisfaction to the large
audience assembled to hear it.
On Tuesday evening
TUE JUNIOR EXHIBITION
took place, the church being crowded,
and the scats principally occupied by the
ladies, the male participants in the fes
tivities having generally to content them
selves with standing room. The Green
ville string band furnished acceptable
music, and there was life and light and
bustle enough until thc exercises began.
These consisted principally of the deliv
ery of original orutions, thc following
young gentlemen speaking:
Jas. F. Cooper, " Intellect and its Pleas
ures, when Cultivated."
John L. MoLee.s, " Literature.''
ll. F. Smith, " Formation of Charac
ter."
James P. Carey, "Decision of Charac
ter."
On Wednesday morning the church
was aga.n filled br a large audience as
sembled to hear the
ADDRESS To THE LITERARY SOCIETIES
by Col. J. P. Thomas, principal of the
Carolina Military Institute of Charlotte,
N. C. The exorcises were opened with
prayer by the Hov. 1). E. Frierson, of J
Anderson. Col. Thomas selected as his
subject "Our Government as it tva?, as
it is, and as it may be"; and considered
it philosophically and calmly, and in a
strict non-partisan spirit, the design be
ing merely to convey practical in lorn
lion and suggestions on the subject to tho
students. He advocated a Convention
for the remodeling of thc Constitution
under the light of u century of experience.
This, he said, would present to thc world
the grand spectacle of a great people
adapting its form of government to its
altered conditions without revolution.
He concluded with an earnest and forci
ble portrayal of the chai acier uf the true
scholar and soldier, and an exhortation
to Iiis young hearers to strive to combine
in themselves tho virtues of tho two.
Tho address was attentively listeued to,
and elicited frequent applause.
On Wednesday night there was n
CONTEST BETWEEN THE LITERARY SOCI
ETIES,
(tho Piedmont and Carolina), which
! brought out another large and interested
i 'Pl.*._:_? -.:.>
j CrUi?Qi XnO CAOrcim? nvio upcucu n un
Erayer by the Kev. Mr. Fraser, and the
mid was again in attendance to fill up
the blank places on the progiamme. The
question was, "Was the Inte war benefi
cial to the South?" Mr. K. S. Stribling,
of the Piedmont Society, had been select
ed to support the affirmative, and Mr.
James F. Coiner, of the Carolinas the
negativo. Slr. Stribling being sick with
what has since proved a fatal illness, his
argument, winch he had prepared, was
read for him. lt developed an amount
of thought and research that proved that
he would have made a valuable and use
ful man, had it not been for his untimely
end. Mr. Cooper's speech in support of
the negative was also a very creditable
one, The. debate was followed by excel
lent orations by Messrs. II. W. Kuhtman
and James P. Carey, the respective sub
jects being " Procrastination " and " Know
Thyself." Mr. Kubtman's was particu
larly well written and delivered.
Thursday was
COMMENCEMENT DAY,
and thc town was early astir, not from
centre to circumference, because Walhal
la has neither centre nor circumference
- only length. From end to end, how
ever, although no man knoweth where
thc ends are, the people converged to
wards the church. Thc Lutheran church
was crowded to suffocation to witness tho
exercises. Mr. T. F. Boozer was the only
graduate, thc college being a very young
one, and some of thc junior class of last
year having failed to pass such an exam
ination as was required to elevate thom
to tho senior class. Mr. Boozer delivered
a handsome oration on "Thc retrospec
tive progress of nations," receiving for
himself the attention and marks of ap
proval that would havo been distributed
among the entire class had there Leen
others in it.
Ho was followed by Prof. J. H. Car
lisle, of Wo?lbrd College, who had been
chosen to deliver the
ANNIVERSARY ORATION.
He selected for his subject: "We want
fruit." Those who know Prof. Carlisle
can realizo what he would do with such
a subject. Tho three fruits ho wanted to
seo from this college were, ho Baid, first,
" truthfulnessofcharacter"; second,"hu
mility"; third, "earnestness". Each of
these'was appropriately enlarged upon.
As a whole Che address wus simply unex
ceptionable, and worthy of the highest
praise.
The exercises were concluded by thc
Cresontation of the gold medals for the
igheststanding in thc respective classes,
which were won by J. P. Cary in the ju
nior, M. S. Stribling in the sophomore,
mid S. R. Riley in ibo freshman class;
R. F. Morris, of Abbeville, of tho latter,
receiving particularly honorable mentiou.
Tho degree of "A. if." was conferred up
on Mr. T. F. Boozer, and that of "D.D."
upon the Rev. Donnld Fraser, of Deca
tur, Ga.
Tho second commencement of the
WALHALLA FEMALE COLLEGE
took place on Tuesday, Juno 24th, the
students going in procession, preceded by
th? Wntbniin Ur??? Bind, ?o the Luther
an church, which was filled with a large
crowd. The exercises consisted of music
by tho students, the reading of essays, and
an address to the Philophreuian Society
of tho College by ex-Governor Perry.
The essays wero:
" We have our destiny in our own
hands," Miss Haidee Thompson.
" The study of the classics," Miss Mat
tie Vernor.
"The Beautiful," Miss Minnio Mc
Gregor.
They wcro cf such a character ??a to re
flect tiie highest credit upon the young
ladies themselves and tho college to which
they owe their training, and the audience
evidently greatly enjoyed listening to
them.
Ex-Govcrnor Perry's address was upon
the intellectual, moral, and physical edu
cation of woman, and was eminently prac
tical and instructive, being pervaded by
a vein of humor that kept his hearers
amused ard interested throughout. The
exercises concluded with some very sweet
singing by the younger students.
Abbovillo Medium: Only thrcoprison
ers in jail. Two of these aro under sen
tence of trial justice's Court and one un
der commitment for trial at the Court of
General Sessions.

Dear Sirs-Thc liO-Saw Tratt Gin bought
from you in thc fall of LS77 has been thor
oughly tested since that time, and has given
entire satisfaction. I havo no hesitation in
pronouncing the sample made by it to be
superior to that iriadeby any (?in known to
me. I Ifhve ginned aa much as 350 bales of
cotton-have bad no repairing to do, and
tho Gin is now lu perfect order. Its great
improvement consists in its Revolving
Head, which prevents cotton roll from
breaking, and which completely destroys
the friction produced by cotton box, there
by increasing its speed, preventing injury
to saws, ami the sample from being gin-cut.
