Who ls the county treasurer? And rho could have done tbe job in that style ? Te have not forgotten the young_Jose job of | o.? County yet. The negroes of Columbia yesterday set their earts upon having a jubilation over the tfeenth amendment. The militia companies ssembled at Neagle'6 Hall, all bedight in true lues, their black plumes on hats cocked up at ie side, plush edgings, brass mountings and ridler fixings generally; and'were sighing for ie hour of parade to come, meaning to do the nposing in prlde-pomp.and-clrcnmslauce ;yle, Without regard to expense.
