Their Look? Against Them. On Tuesday evening among thc arrivals at the Patterson House was a trio of Charlestonians. One engaged in tho business of persuading (on nu equitable basis) the people to join in a game in which the player was to die to win; another has benevolent intentions upon the planters' lands, I and dispenses fertUizers at a reasonable price, and thc last or thc trio believes In Inning THE NEWS disseminated. Arter supper this party con? cluded to pass off time by consulting the "history of the four kings." The fertilizing mun, who wears store-clothes and a remarkable sleek beaver, secured tho cards and table for the game, while his companions proceeded to get thc rourth man. Each and every citizen or the county present was requested to take the rourth hand In a game or euchre. All rcrused until the very last man was reached. He, after consi? derable demurring, and being assured that lt was to be only a "social game," consented to play, saying with a reckless sort of air, that he was ready for anything. The game was finally com? menced, and several played-the visitor au the while Bitting on the edge or his chair, and looking uneasily from under his hat at thc fertilizing man. Pleading an excuse of some kind about 8 o'clock, he slipped away, and seemed considera? bly relieved at getting on*. Thc next day, thc se? cret of the refusal of those asked to play and the uneasiness of the one who consented, was ex ?rialned. The people bad ?aken thc fertilizing man or a professional gambler, and his companions his "cappers" (ropers-ln;) and the young man who played expected every moment to see a sweat cloth and necessary fixtures produced for fleecing him. The looks or the trio were evidently against them._ FROM THE STATE CAPITAL. Mortality of White and Colored Races In Charleston Compared-Censas Re? turns-Seven White and Five Colored Counties. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, November 19. The official repon of the registered dcath8 In thc City of Charleston give us some Interesting points which may throw light upon thc census re? turns now coming in. Thc relative death-rate or thc two races appears in thc following figures: In 1885, there were registered In Charleston 1206 deaths, which, assuming the population to have been the same as this year, Is u per cent, or 2.68. Of these 120S, there were 390 whites and 818 colored persons; and as the numbers of the two races were 20,160 whites and 24,780 colored, thc per cent, of deaths was, of whites . 1.93 and of ! colored persons 3.30. [. If we now take the year ending the 31st of Oc? tober, 18G9, the number of deaths are 437 whites and 916 colored persons, and this gives us 2.11 per cent, of whites and 3.69 of colored persons. Again, if we take the deaths of the ten months ending thc 31st of October, 1809, we have 375 whites and 775 colored persons, which is 2.23 per cent, of whites and 3.74 of colored persons per an? num. That ls to say, the difference In the per cent, of deaths, between white and colored, was, in 1808, 1.37; in the year ending 31st of October, 1869, it was 158; and in the ten months just ended, it has been 1.01 per annum. THE STATB CENSUS. Thus far twelve counties have been heard from, and in seven of these there is a majority of whites, and in five there is a majority of colored persons. The seven are-Anderson, Chesterfield, Green? ville, Horry, Lancaster, Oconcc, and Spartan burg. The five are-Chester, Darlington, Marlboro', Sumter and Williamsburg. In Chester the per cent, of white population that votes is 20.62; while that of thc colored popu? lation ls 18.49. STATE UNIVERSITY.

The New York Sun says: General Benjamin F. Butler has been sued by Rowena Florance, niece or the late General Twiggs, to recover articles or silver-ware and the three gold-hilted, Jewelled swords presented to General Twiggs by the United States Government und Hie States orOeorgiaand Texas, for meritori? ous services rendered by him in thc Mexican war. These swords, valued at $35,000 in gold, and the silver-ware and table furniture, worth $2000 In gold, Mrs. Florance avers, were taken and appro? priated to his own use by General Butler while lie commanded in New Orleans, in the spring of 1862. Mrs. Florance says that when her goods were seized she was living in privacy and retire? ment, and was not in arms, or an aider or abet? tor of persons In arms, against the United States Government. She further says that the swords were family heir-looms, not used, nor designed to be used, In any military enterprise whatever, but had been given to her by General Twiggs. General limier, Mrs. Florance says, bad given out that the swords had been deposited in the Treasury Department, but'he had never account? ed for the silver-ware at all. Inquiries had been made on herbehairat the Treasury Department, aud a verbal order had been obtained rrora ex President Johnson for their return, but, after dili? gent search, they could not bc lound. C.Rodney May, Mrs. Florance's attorney, at New Orleans, makes affidavit that the suit is in? stituted in good faith, und that the acts comp lain ed of were matters or public notoriety in New Orleans. Judge Jones, or the Superior Court of this city, has granted an order of arrest, fixing he bail at $15,000. JUDGE OER. Complimentary Resolut ions of thc New? berry Bar. As a matter of public interest, we republish from thc Newberry Herald, of thc loth Instant, thc complimentary resolutions adopted lately by the Newberry Bar, together with the remarks of Colonel Simeon Fair and the reply ol Judge Orr: REMARKS OK COLONEL SIMEON FAIR. B?forc your nonor discharges thc juries, I de? sire to present some resolutions which 1 have been instructed by my brethren at thc bar to present to your Honor, and, before doing so, I de? sire to say that, in leaving your own circuit where you have been busily engaged, and in granting us the present extra court, you have really conferred a great boon, not only upon the bar, but upon the people of this community. The business of thc court had accumulated until it wa? impossible lt could be done at the regular term allowed by law. Owing to the courts having been virtually closed during thc war, and the great increase of criminal business Pince then, we had not uceu able to dispose of any civil business in eight years-two casos, I believe, were tried on the Issue Docket when Judge Dawkins held the Court in March, 1867. The business which had accumulated during that whole period has been done at thc present term. 1 have been connected with the bar at this place for more than forty years, and during that time I have never known se much business done In the same length of time, and so satisfactorily done, both to the bar, to the juries and to the community, as has been done by your Honor at thc present term. I have in the time I have been at thc bar witnessed ihe administration of justice by all the judges, In this court and the Court of Equity, commencing with Judge David Johnson, who left thc law bench about thc time I came to the bar, and T remarked to one of my brethren at the bar the other day, which I desire to repeat here, that yen combined many of thc highest qualities of many of our oldest and best Judges who are now no more; that In patiently bearing, aud tlrmness of decision, you reminded me much of Judge David Johnson; that lu the ready per? ception of the merits and turning points of a case, of Chief Justice O'Xeail and Chancellor Wardlaw; thar in analysis of a case, of Harper; and in sub? mitting a case to the jury, you simpl?lcd the points equal to Judge Evans. In these sentiments my brethren at the bar and this community here present concur. I, therefore, ask leave to present to your Honor thc r?solutions which have been unanimously adopted at a meeting of the bar this day, and which are not mere formal or holiday expressions, but contain the real sentiments of tho members of this bar. Resolved, That thc Bar of Newberry tender to his Honor. Judge Orr, their sincere thanks for holding, at their request, thc special term of the Court of Common Picas for this county, which ia now drawing to a close. Resolved, That, the manner In which he has dis? charged the laborious duties which thus devolved upon him, in disposing of thc vast accumulation of business on our dockets, and 'In thc trial of cases of great magnitude and Importance, en? titles lum lo our highest praise asan able, impar? tial and enlightened Jurist, and has won for him ihe admiration and esteem of our people. ResotveH, That thc patience and courtesy which have characterized his Conducton the bench hus made his administration of justice, and his inter? course with thc bar and community, of thc most agreeable and pleasant character. Resolved, That our brother, Colonel S. Fair, be requested to present the above resolutions to his Honor in open court, and that they be published in the newspapers. JCDOE orin's RESPONSE. ?enllemen vf the Newberry iinr-\ thank you most sincerely for your very kind and nattering appreciation of my services as presiding officer ol'the court during the present term. lu accept? ing the high and responsible position which 1 now occupy. If. wns from au earnest conviction that a useful service might bc reudered a portion at least, of the people of South Carolina-a people amongst whom I had been born and rear? ed, and in whose soil, when .'life's fitful fever ls over," I trust my bones may repose. To know that the small sacriflce "which I have made, in leaving my own circuit, to aid in relieving your heavily burdened dockets at this extra term, has resulted in your unqualified ap? proval of the manner in walch it has been exe? cuted, is a full rccompcnce for such sacrifice, and I shall carry home with me, aud ever eherlsh. gratefal memories of thc bar and the term. In coming I anticipated an agreeable nnd instruc? tive session of the court from the successors of some of thc most gifted judicial minds which the State has produced. The memory of O'Neall, Johnstone and the Caldwells, and the example of the junior compeer, through whom you have communicated the resolution!) Just read (Colonel Fair,) was a suftlclcnt guarautec that the highest professional courtesy would mark your personal Intercourse, and the most complete and elaborate preparation thc management of your causes. To thc members of this bar my thanks are due and are hereby tendered for their unliorm courte? sy, and for their ready alacrity in relieving rae from all unnecessary embarrassment In dispatch? ing the business of thc eeurt. The crowded dockets herc necessarily operated most injuriously upon all thc business Interests of the community. The war and anti-war indebted? ness of the people, which survived the loss of property and nearly all means for its liquidation, hos weighed as a fearful Incubus on the energy and enterprise of the people; and has, lu no small degree, paralyzed their industry. The suspense and anxiety of creditor and debtor have been for? midable barriers to all progress and develop? ment. It is now passed, and both will breathe easier. Whatever opinions may be now entertain? ed of thc wisdom or Justice of the rules adopted by the juries, it will bc most manifest that new energy aud enterprise, In a few brief months, will'ani? mate your entire population; and all thc material interests of society in your midst will be stimu? lated and developed. The IOSSCR of the past will be swallowed up in tho efforts, hopes and achieve? ments of the ruture; aud in a few brief years we shall rival. If not excel, the traditions and memories of thc past, in thc prosperity, progress, hanplness and civilization our common country will enjoy. Mr. Chairman, accept fny thanks for thc kind and complimentary terms you have been pleased to usc in communicating the resolutions just read, and reiterate to the members of the bar, and thc officers of the court, my grateful acknowl? edgments for the uniform courtesy during the present term.

In that living laboratory is prepared the nourishment required to sustain them, and by the vessels and ducts connected with the digestive apparatus, that nourishment ls conveyed to every part of the system. Upon the quality and quantity of this element of life, and upon the manner In which it is distributed and apportioned, physical health mainly depends, and as the mind Inevitably sympathizes with the body, the vigor of the one Ls absolutely necessary to the well-being of the'other. It is because HOSTE dR'S STOMACH BIT? TERS accomplishes this double object that lt en? joys a reputation as a preventive and curative never heretofore attained by any medicinal prep? aration. But its. direct beneficial operation upon the weak or disordered stomach is not its sole re? commendation. It ls the most comprehensive of all known remedies. It tones, strengthens and regulates the discharging as well as the assimi? lating organs; gently moving the bowelB, promo? ting healthful evaporation through the pores, rousing the feiert liver from its torpor, and induc? ing harmonious and natural action In the whole animal machinery. This benign result ls not pro? duced by any of the reactionary drugs which are used so lavishly in the old school practice, found? ed by Paracelsus; but by mild, safe and agreeable vegetable agents intermixed with apure and mel? low stimulant which diffuses their in rm ance through thc system and renders their aanUary properties active and effective. novis 6PAt pW A CARD.-A CLERGYMAN, while residing in South America as a Missionary, discovered a safe and simple remedy ror the cure or Nervous Weakness, Early Decay, Disease of the Urinary and Seminal Organs and the whole train or disorders brought on by baneftil and vicious habits. Great numbers have been cured by this noble remedy. Prompted by a desire to benefit the afflicted and unfortunate, I will send the recipe for preparing and using this medicine, in a sealed envelope, to any one who needs it, free or charge.
