Reform by Exclusion or Those Who
Have Betrayed Trust.
Tbe Greenville Mountaineer and En?
terprise proposes a plan by wbiob it
thinks tbe State may be effectually re?
formed. Tbe object to be accom?
plished mainly is to sweep the State
Government of tbieves and bring them
to speedy punishment. The agents
wbo are expeoted to do it are the peo?
ple, white -and blaok, irrespective of
party, who have held no offioe, County,
State or Federal, since the war, and
the instrumentality is to be precinct
or neigbborbood mass meetings, to be
afterwards represented in a County
convention, and tbe Connty conven?
tions to elect delegates to a State con?
vention. Tbe meetings are to be held
after thirty days public notice, the
whites and blaoks each holding their
own. From each class are to bo ap?
pointed executive committees of five
or seven men, known to bo honest and
not to have held office. These will
together constitute a County conven?
tion, each committee or delegation
represonting tbe population, white and
blaok, that sent them. Tbe County
conventions thus organized, to pro?
ceed on the same basis to elect dele?
gates to a State convention, in number
corresponding to the members of tho
Legislature from the Conuty. This
body of men, white and black, reput?
ed to be honest, and not having held
?ny cS3ss, '"ill proceed, sfter organiza?
tion, by a two-thirds vote of all pre?
sent, to elect candidates for tbe save
. ral State officers. The name of no
- one is. to 'be considered or voted for
who haaheld, auy office of emolument
by saUuryv fees or perquisites, Connty,
State or Federal, since the war. The
vjaext step iB to bring to punishment
the men who have robbed aud dis?
honored the State by such steps as
may be legal, proper and practicable.
The delegations, after returning from
the State convention, to have a called
meeting to nominate a County ticket
for the Legislature, and to take such
action in referenoe to the County elec?
tions aB honesty and fair dealing de?
mand.
We have given the soheme of our
contemporary, and resommend it to
the consideration of the people. No
comments ooonr to us at present, fur?
ther than to say tbe objects are, of
course, commendable. Whether it is
altogether practicable, when we consi?
der tbe constituents, condition and
bias of the voting population, may
admit of donbt. It will take intelli?
gence, earnestness, will and energy to
carry oat. These, we hope, may be
found enlisted in it, and, should they
be, we cannot doubt a good result.
Offioe-holders aud those who depend
npon them will not regard it with fa?
vor. Corraptionists will consider it
an unwelcome innovation. Bat if the
people want reform really, if they
would have responsibility and capacity
introduced into the government to re?
place the trained soampB, wbo live by
plunder, who have brains only for
plotting pillage aud hands ready to
seize everything that comes in the
way, by this plan or some other, they
should begin to work Boon, and suc?
cess cannot be donbtful.
United StateB Senator Robertson
thinks there is no help for South Caro?
lina, unless ehe can help herself, and
he iB disposed to lead in a desperate
effort to that end.
We clip the above from a Radical
sheet of this State, with some slight?
ing remarks, which we omit. It is
very singular, and not a little incon?
sistent, that with all the talk about re?
form witbin party lines, and tbe copi?
ous promises that it shall certainly
oome, we uever see tbe name of any
one mentioned which oan be accepted
aB a guarantee that any is meant. One
would suppose that reform could best
be carried out by men least mixed up
with rings and jobs aud tbe bad odor
of orime aud fraud. There are men
in the Republican party who are well
thought of and well spoken of. But
those wbo oontrol tbe public Radioal
sentiment uever as much as allude to
them. Jndge Maher's name has been
mentioned for Governor, but faintly
as compared with the cries for Moses,
Chamberlain, Scott, &o. He, und
such as he, are kept studiously in tho
background.
We do not know what amount of
truth there may he in tho statement
which we place at tae bead of this ar
. ticle. If Senator Robertson is dis?
posed to take the course therein indi?
cated, the butter elements of his parly
ought at once to rally to him. Tho
Republican party iu this Statu sadly
needs a man who will sink the partisan
jjk in the patriot. So far, there has not
been a word uttered or an act done in
tbe line of reform which indicates that
sort of sincerity.and earnestueas which
will not stop to ooont consequences*
Everything, so far, is but glittering
generality, sound and fury, signifying
nothing. We have looked anxiously
at every oountenance, we have pon?
dered the toue and meaning of every
word, but we huve failed to see the
man who is needed, or to hear the lan
guago which conveys any promise
upon whioh we may rely with any con ?
fidence. Should such man appear and
aim at thi3 responsible and honorable
position, we will give him no reluctant
aid in the effort to introduce reformp.
He will meet no factious opposition,
but candid support rather, from the
Conservative side.
Death of Cochise.?A despatch
from Sau Francisco announces the
death of tho Apache Chief, Coebise.
The lost year or two of this notorious
savage were passed without hostility,
after a life time of uncompromising
hate and revenge against tbe white
race, and, as recently stated, his last
days were racked with fever, filled
with horriil imnginiDgs of his victims
haunting his bed-side und tearing his
flesh. The theatre of his numerous
tragedies embraced ohiefly parts of
Arizona and New Mexico, and it will
be remembered, required no little
fighting, a number of special mes?
sages, and considerable pleading, be?
sides the concession of his life, though
the Modoo Chief was scarcely more
savage, to bring liim to termM of f*ec*ce
Last Thursday night, a band of mur?
derers and robbers, under pretence of
wishing to bny something, entered the
store of a Mr. Howard, near May
River Church, about twelve miles from
Hardeeville, S. 0., murdered tho clerk,
Mr. Thomas S. Behu, burned his body
to a crisp, then robbed tbe storehouse
and set fire to it. Warrants have been
issued against four negroes, against
whom there ia strong evidence. Mr.
Behn, says the Savannah News, was
about fifty years of age. His life bus
been a sad one, misfortunes befalling
him in quick suuoessiou. A short time
before tbe war, ho lost his wife; u few
years since, his two children were si?
multaneously drowned, and his earthly
career baa been closed in a mauuer ter?
rible to contemplate.
The Close of the Charleston
Hotel.?This house closed its doors
Monday evening for the summer. The
entire building is to be overhauled aud
repaired and painted throughout, aud
various modern improvements are to
be added. The dining room will be
handsomely frescoed, and everything
that can add to the uppearance or the
oomfort of the establishment will be
done. Tho management propose re?
opening the hotel by the 15th of Octo?
ber next, at which time, handsomely
refitted and improved throughout, it
will be carried on in its accustomed
first class style.
Cremation in Gilmer County.?
The Marietta (Cia.) Journal says an old
man in Gtlmer Couuty, who was ab?
sent a week on a visit "to his still
house hid in the mountains, was found
by his friumis dead in his still house,
with two or three rattlesnakes wrapped
around his body. The men beiog
afraid to enter, set tire to tho house
and burned all in one heap, making a
successful cremation of snakes, man,
house und whiskey."
A Family Dkuuoed and Robbed ?
The residence of Mr. Lt. E. Stopple
bien, 19 Sires street, Charleston, was
entered by burglar Monday morning
early, aud robbed of clothing, silver?
ware, a clock, Ac. Tho thief, who was
afterwards arrested by a policeman,
proved to he n well kuowu colored
man, named A. 11. Jackson. Most of
the stolen articles were reooucrud. In
order to make saru of his work the
fellow used chloroform, with which
he stupefied the family.
Fall of a Tobacco Factory.?On
Saturday, tho floors of the frame fac?
tory of O. Furd Sc Son, Lynchburg,
Va., gave way uuder tho weight of
tobacco which they were bearing, and
soon after the side walls aud u portion
of the Eastern end of the factory fell
outwurds, leaving tho building quite a
wreck. Tho bouse is a three-story
one, and woiearu each floor coutaiued
nearly 100,000 pounds of tobacco. The
damage is about $3,000.
Slaughter of the Unmuzzled.?
There were 178 dogs taken to tho New
York city pound daring the past few
days, and woro killed by suffocation
Saturday evening. A number of dog
catchers presented themselves, with
new victims, but were turned away
with the information that no more
dogs would be received until Monday
morning.
Death op Mr. Wm. McKay.?Tho
remains of this enorgetio young com?
mission merchant wero interred in
Magnolia Cemetery on Sunday, having
been brought from Sullivan's Island,
where he died suddenly on Saturday.
The deooased was a native of Scotland,

Plain Words fok tub People.?
When broken down in health, strength
and spirits, it is nece> sary that we
should ask'a medical ^ian whetber*an
invigoruut is ueoessary. Common
sehso teUs us that it is. The only
question to be decided is, what tbe in
vigorant shall be. A staudard tonic
and restorative, which has been many
years before tbe public, and in which
million* of the intelligent classes ro
pose the fullest faith, seems, in a ease
like this, to present tbe strongest
claims to the confidence of the pru?
dent invalid, iiostetter's Stomach
Bitters may be truly said to possess
these high recommendations. Its tri?
umphant progress during a period of
over twenty years, its present popu
lurity, and the uniform success whioh
attends its use iu indigestion, nerv?
ous debility, biliary complaints, fever
and ague, uud all ailments which de?
press the physical system und enervate
the mind, entitle it to the rank of a
standard natioual specific. It is re?
garded in that light by the community
at large, uud hundreds of thousands of
both sexes resort to it at this season
I as u preventive of that numerous and
harassing class of diseases which take
their rise trotn the miasmatic winds
and vapors of spring. It is a stimu?
lant, a tonic, au alterative und a mild
aperient?four essential rostorutivo
and protective elements of the maleria

I These inediciues have undoubtedly
! performed more euren of cone u nipt ion
ihuu any other remedy known to the
Atnericiu public. They are eom-i
pounded of vegetable ingredientB, and
contain nothing which cuu be injuri?
ous to the humuu coustitutiou. Other
remedies advertised as cures for con?
sumption, probably contain opium,
which is a somewhat dangerous drug
in all cases, aud if taken freely by con?
sumptive patients, it must do great in?
jury; for its tendeuoy is to confine the
morbid mattet in the system, which,
of course, must make u cure impossi?
ble. Suheuok's Pulmonie Syrup is 1
warranted not to contain a particle of
opium. It is composed ol powerful
but harmless herbs, which act on the
lungs, liver, stomach und blood, nud |
thus correct all morbid secretions and
expel alt the diseased matter from the
body. These are the only means by
which consumption can be cured, and
as Ssbeuck's Pulmonie Syrup, Sea
Weed Tonic aud Mandrake Pills are
the only medicines which operate in
this way, it is obvious they are the
only genuine cure for pulmonary con?
sumption. Each bottle of this invalu?
able medicine is accompanied by full
directions. Dr. Scbeuck is profes?
