' Bad cooking on the part of a wife has been held by a Texas judge as sufficient [ ground for a divorce. A BAND or DESPERADOES-SHERIFF'S OFFICE BOBBED.-Last week we gave an account of an attempt to arrest two ootorious robbers. Bill and Bob Sartor, who turned on the officers, beat them, threatened to kill them, and then made their escape; These fellows are still at large, and continue their bold depreda? tions. Warrants have beou issued for them for horse stealing, as it can be proven that they are the partier who stole the horses wo spoke of two weeks ago. One of them, Bill Sartor, is one of Governor Scott's pet penitentiary birds. He was sentenced at the last court of this County to two years' imprisonment for stealing, but sajs he was "turned out" of the penitentiary soon after, by Governor Scott, we suppose, to continue his nets of lawlessness. This is another evidence of the utter uselessness of the people to attempt to punish colored scoundrels through a'proper course of law. The Governor's pardon puts at de? fiance the sentence of the court, and turns looeo upon the people the most desperate thieves and robbers, niter they have been tried and convicted by a dis? interested and legally constituted jury. These Sartors, it seems, ore imitating the example of the Lowreyf, of North Carolina, and it is believed are organiz? ing a gang similar to those outlaws. Warrants for their arrest were placed in the bauds of Special Deputy Sherill' Air. W. L. Palmer, who was actively en? gaged iu trying to ai rent them, and we believe would have had them in the jail io a short time; but just as his plans for their capture were completed, he was ar? rested by a United States Marshal under the charge of conspiracy. It is said that tho warrant for Mr. Palmer had been issued some months before, but it looks very strange that its service should have been delayed until just at tho timo when be was about to urreBb u gaug of despe? rate thieving negroes. From this we may infer that it will be dangerous for any citizen of thia Couuty to make any elTort to arrest these scoundrels. Mr. Palmer, before his arrest, had un? earthed- a large quantity of dry goods, ready-made clothes, ito., which bad been stolen by the gang, and deposited them in the Sheriff's office at this place. Mr. Cal. Hunter had identified most of thc articles as belonging to him, but a num? ber of fine couts .aud other goods were detained in the Sheriff's office awaiting their owner, until Wednesday night last, when the office was broken into, through the window, and all the goods taken out. There is no due to the perpetrators of the last burglary, bat there is little doubt that the Sartor gang were at thu head of it. We learn that six or eight stores iu this County have bean robbed during thc past six months. Will the authorities, State or Federal, tell us where the people can find protection from the depredations of these convicted burglars and thieves? I Union Times. MORE OFFICIAL VISITORS.-Deputy Marshals Maloney and Canton arrived in our town, just after dark, on last Wednes? day evening, having in charge, as a pri? soner, Thomas PayBinger, ex-Sheriff of Newberry. He was arrested at Martin's Depot, iu this County, for some offence against the United States; but it seems that the aforesaid marshals were not on thc hunt of Paysiuger, as they had no warrant for him. He unfortunately, however, crossed their path, and they "took him in," baud cuffed him, and brought, him along for company sake, promising to produce the warrant when they reached Newberry. Making mili? tary arrests have grown old-its now. of common occurrence in South Carolina; so this little matter of giving each vic? tim a pair of bracelets seems to bo re? garded, by Government satraps, as indis? pensable in giving new interest to such procedures. Its a very long lane that has no tarn. We learn, also, that James H. Irby, formerly of this District, was arrested in Newberry recently, and carried to the County jail hand-cuffed. Our visitors left us on yesterday morn? ing, carrying Abe .Simmons, colored, 1 with them as a prisoner. Abe is the negro whom the "witness," spoken of elsewhere, had the quarrel with. The "wituesb" has doubtless carried his point in part. "Let us have peace." Since the above was put in type, wc learn that the aforesaid marshals went to the house of Dr. Thos. McCoy carly yesterday morning, called for the Doctor, and being informed by Mrs. MoOoy that he was absent, having been called away at a late hour the previous night, a tho? rough search of the house was made, but the Doctor was not found. The shackled prisoner, Paysinger, was drag? ged along by these humane (?) officers on the search mentioned. Dr. McCoy, it will be remembered, had just returned home on bail, after five weeks' imprison? ment. The oauldron still boils. [Laurensville Herald. Ku KLUX HUNTERS.-We have had a "nine days wonder." Our peaceful, law abiding Connty, has been "invaded" by deputy marshals and a few soldiers. They have arrested Bev Mr. Ezell, his sons, Ward and Leonard, from Laurens and Spartaubnrg, and carried them to Columbia. From information reoeived by us, the conduct of tho marshals and soldiers is censurable. Houses have been searched without authority shown; and, in a "oharge" made by them on the work of a contractor on the Air-Line Bailroad, his property was seriously in? jured. "Let us have peace." I [Pickeng Courier. Tho bridge across Twelve Mile Creek, on the old State Boad, near Lexington, and the bridge across the same stream at Lenpheart's old mill, on the old Cam? bridge Boad, have been thoroughly re? paired and put in good order.

After following, with considerable ad? miration and interest, thc wanderings and adventures of that democratic dea I pot, Don Pedro, of Brazil, from his cognito visitations ut European watering places to iuuocent flirtations with Yan? kee girls amid the Pyramids of Egypt, it is a pleasure to know that he has ac? complished a "bon voyage," and is Baie upon his native heath again. His peo? ple, ia expectation of his return with bis family, were in u fever of excitement, and the Bio Janeiro batteries quite star? tled an inoffensive Antwerp packet by mistaking it for the Emperor's barge, and firing their heaviest salute. The military, too, were thrown into confu? sion by the premature announcement, and the Emperor spoiled his reception at home, as he has so of tea doce in other places, by stealing into thc capital before the desired "fuss aud feather" could be organized; consequently he got few cheers, except from Anglo-Saxon throats, which are always equal to an emergency. The tired soldiers were dismissed for their dinner?, and only a levee or hand kiss with the Imperial family, nil united, was iudulged in ut the palace. The Em? peror assumed once moro the reins of government on the 1st of April; the pre .sent cabinet i% expected to resign, and wonderful transformations are looked I for from thu enlarged practical ideas of this second Peter the Great. On the 6th instant, Daniel Dover, J. B. Falt?n, L. H. McSwain, Andrew Habkie, M. L. Boss und J. E. Good were released from prison oa boad.

The following arrests have been made: William B. Leech, May ll, and J. W. Pursely and J. L. Parsely, on the 1 itb. There are now seventeen in confinement here. - York ville Enquirer. CONGRESSMAN ELLIOTT'S WIFE.-Mr. Elliott has his wife here, a very hand? some, stylish woman, with little negro blood in her veins, hardly enough to distinguish her from our own race. One day, she entered the diplomatic gallery, where there were several wives of Con? gressmen, and a flutter was the conse? quence. Some left, and others informed the gentlemanly usher that he must never again subject them to the crushing indignity. Those who made tho most fuss about it were the wives of the mos Radical Congressmen. I Washington Letter. Mr. Job Weatherly died at his resi? dence, in this County, on Friday, the 10th instant. He was an estimable citi? zen, quiet and uaassumingin his deport? ment, and had been for many years a consistent member cf the Salem Baptist Church, where his remains have been in? terred to await the resurrection of the just.-Marlboro Times. Ned Price, the prize fighter, who pounded Cobura and "Australian Kelly" into a jolly, not many years ago, has set? tled down into a steady, respectable life, and his sign, on a prominent street in New York, reads. "Edmund E. Price, counsellor-at-law. " The first immigrant from Greenland ever known reached New York from Halifax last week. The clim ate being to him oppressive, he informed a Scandina? vian acquaintance that he should go back at the first obanoe. Several Brooklyn young ladies have formed a society having for its object the redaction of extravagance in dress. They have resolved to spend so much and no more on their toilet. A yoong man named Milton Crandall killed his sister, in Port Jervis, New Jer? sey, a few days ago, with a supposed unloaded gun. The jury very properly returned a verdict of "gross careless? ness." In White County, Ga,, on the 16th ult., Mr. Charles Col lings wort h was mar? ried to Miss Annie S. Bread. Having got his Bread, Charles said he didn't want any but her. It is stated that thirteen children were born on board the steamer Scandina? vian, on her reoent voyage from Liver? pool to Quebec. INGENUITY OF BURGLARS.-There was a burglary in an Albany jewelry store on the night of the 2d instant, and one of several skillful devices to whioh the bur glars resorted to prevent detection while operating upon the safe was the follow? ing: On a work benoh on the Sonth side of the shop a small looking-glass is placed, in front of which is a gas-burner. This small glass reflects the back of the Bafo on the large glass, and those who pass the store have a full view of it. The burglars, to conceal their opera? tions, bad prepared a ourtain made of dark green muslin, across which black musliu stripes were sewed, to represent the bars on the back of the safe. This maslin was tacked on Bmall wooden strips after the burglars entered the pre? mises, and was hung over the large mir? ror. It was well calculated to deceive the patroling watchman, and but for his suspicions being aroused early in the evening by observing two or three strange characters in the vicinity, they might have operated successfully. On passing the store he noticed that the re? flection of the back of the safe in the glass was darker than uBual, and he shook the door three or four times. Re? ceiving no response from the inside watchman, his suspicion that something was wrong wab strengthened, aud, break? ing open the doors, found that hiB infer? ence hud been too long delayed, for the robbers had retreated.- Worcester Spy. AN ILLUSTRATION IN POINT.-The de? votion of the English to etiquette waa once illustrated by a humorist by an anecdote of an Englishman who was drowning, and who declined to grasp tbe hand of a gentleman who tried to rescue him, on the ground that he had not the honor of his acquaintance. The condi? tion of the South, whose personal and political liberty and local self-govern? ment are threatened with perpetual loss, is as critical as was that of this viotim of misfortune and of etiquette. The re? fusal of the South to accept aid, because it is extended through agencies once alien and unsympathizing, would be quite as ridiculous as that of the Eng? lishman who would rather go to the bottom cf the sea, than be saved from death by a strange gentleman. The Sonth don't mean, of itself, to be guilty of any such folly. Others, who have misled and sacrificed her before, may attempt it again-and she may probably be made a sad victim for continued suffering in Hack-cloth and ashes; but not, it is believed, by any act of her own people.-Ballimore Sun. In a San Francisco court, a Mra. Za blowski asked to be divorced from her husband, basing ber petition upon his habitual use of opium, whioh incapaci? tated him for business and the support of bis family. The bill was brought under the statute allowing divoroe for intemperance; but the court ruled that the immoderate uso of opium is not in? temperance within the meaning of the statute. Perhaps not; but Judge Dwi? ndle need not have supported his ruling by saying that a contrary decision would lead to divorces "for intemperance in eating or any ordinary habits of life." If a divorce should be granted on ac? count of dram-drinking, it should equally be granted for opium-chewing. Eating too much has nothing to do with the matter. One of the very few remaining officers who were present at Trafalgar has just died at Paignton, England, aged eighty two, Rev. Henry Bellairs. He entered the navy when fourteen, as midshipman, and received two wonnda at the battle of Trafalgar. From ill health he left the navy, but subsequently received a com? mission in the Fifteenth Hussars, and served at Waterloo, thus taking part in both of England's greatest battles. He subsequently entered the ohuroh, and became rector of Bebworth, Warwick? shire. The people of Japan are making rapid progress in their efforts to shake off old customs. On the 9th of April, a great national fair was opened in the sacred city of Oioto, and for the space of fifty days, foreigners were to have free per? mission to visit the city, go where they pleased in it without restraint, and to exhibit their goods. This is regarded by foreign residents of Japan as an impor? tant step toward tho final and complete abandonment of the old polioy of exclu? siveness which has so long been char? acteristic of that country. , Tho London Times, in speaking of the presentation of Miss Nellie Grant to Queen Victoria, says the event is not so remarkable as it would have been in the last generation, "for royal personages now go freely on their travels." There must bs great joy at the White House. Master Fred has been shonted over by the lazzaroni of Italy aa "the Prince, ' and Miss Nellie has been called a royal personage in the London Times. Who cares for Cincinnati now? Our wretched curre noy, high tariff system and the rule of monopolistic rings have served to make this country one of high prices. It is, consequently, a good country to sell in, bnt a bad one to buy in; hence the balanoe of trade against us, and we are losing mnoh of the trade we formerly regarded.as secure. The New York gentlemen who paid $10,000 gold to Ruskin for Tomer's painting of "The Slave Ship," has given private views of it, and the general opinion of it in New York, is expressed by the Commercial Advertiser, whioh pro? nounces it one of the worst pictures ever painted. A negro named Peter Taylor, taken out to be hung in Marshall, Texas, on tho 10th inatant, did not await the tardy aotion of tho sheriff, bnt touched the trap himself, and- in an instant was dangling in the air.
