Whilst we regret our inability to be present upon the iuterestins occasioo, we sincerely trust the Demostheneans will emulate successfully, the example of the illustrious John Ilan'!db!ph 11 bf Roanoke, Virginia's great statesman ana orator. The^friend who presented us with the card was so mod' est as to fail to leave his name. The Court Was convened t^is morning, his Honor Judge Melton, presiding. The Grand and Petit 'Juries organized, and the Judge delivered an able and impressive charge to the Graud Jury. As usual the Solicitor found consid' erable difficulty in getting his witnesses together, but by to-morrow morning, < is it hoped the Court will be able to pur sue the "even tenor of its way."

Presumption Extraordinary. , We read in the journal of the pro* 'cccdirigs of the Legislature, that our distinguished Representative, Mr. Gary, , has 'introduced a "bill to require the County 'Commissioners to erect School houses." We do not know how Other , Counties are, financially speaking, but as to Kershaw County, the bill requires 'impossibilities, for it has a debt of not ; less than ?10,000, now resting upon it, if we are correctly informed, and with about ?6,000 of taxes collected < 'annually, and an annual expenditure of nearly double that amount by the County, "it"is in a decidedly bankrupt condition. Either the Commissioners must retrench the expenditures, or the taxes of the County must be doubled. Of the first there is not much probability, * - . 11 tn\ _ j I judging irotn trie present uoie (^uutoifiTstratioD. Of the latter continuency, there is, on die other hand, great probability, and we groan to think of the terrible condition of th'mgs, which it will bring about. With the prcseot low prices of produce, -nd the great and pressing demand for money for the necessaries of life, aud the enormous expenditures on the part of the State, we arr in an awful predicament. Is this state of things the reform and clemency promised by the Republican Party during the last political campaign? Is this the way by which it expects to draw into its ranks the members of the od position party ? Can people much longfit submit to the horrible extortion of fat and bloated office-holders ? With absolute ruiu staring them in the face, men grow desperate or their cravc.D hature shows itself! Which shall it be, Republican rulers, peace or war? We desire peace, crave it, long for it, butwc have the hearts of men within us ! Those hearts bum with tho memory of wrongs inflicted; of insults offered, of broken faith 1 Shall the j breaches be healed, tho memory of; trroogs effaced ? Let your actions speak. . Hon. Justus K. Jilson, State Superintendent of Bdaeatiori, has purchased from the Messrs. D. Piexotto & Son, agents, the Flannigart estate, hear the corner of Plain and Pickens streets, Columbia, to which place he has removt4 hie residence. . L ., i. I HHIWI'I I I - .IU.K..1 I ' Ho! For a New Engine. That old and fine Company, the Camden Independents, have, after a solemn conclave, concluded that a new engine is absolutely necessary for the preservation <sf the town from the devouring eleineut, fire. They have ascertained that it ispos> sible to purchase a new one for SI,200, one-half cash, the balance on time. To rUphir the old machine, it will take ?825, and as it is* clironicaily diseased, it will be always requiring repairs, so that, intbeiropinion,itwould be cheaper to pay the additional S900, than to be continually -patching up, a method of puttifg "uew wino into old bottles," or a new patch" in an old suit of clothes, or sinkiDg new shafts in a worn out mino. Underthesc circumstances, the Company have almost concluded to disband ;ind riot have nnvthiny todo'withthe ml O old engine, not even parade, "unless the Council orders a new one. This condition of things, imperatively 'demands that the Council take some action towards getting something that will answer the purposes of putting out fires. Unless this is done, we will be at the mercy of the conflagration, more completely than 'we are now. Can the Council shew any just cause why they should not respond to this call ? We understand ' that the ladies will assist in raisiog the necessary funds for this object. Dispatches from Versailles report the bombardment of Paris vigorous and . affective. The barracks at Fort Mont Rouge are burned. Shells have fallen in the garden of Luxembourg. Successful Southern Enterprise ??Of many new Southern enterprises which have been undertaken since the war, uone have inct with greater or more deserved Success than the door, sash and blind manufactory of Mr. P. P. Toale, in Charleston, S. C. By hard work, indomitable energy and liberal n/1 u/trl ?o? AT V ' Vlf?Q in tfirPA years outstripped all competition and established a business which would do credit to any city in the Uuitcd StAtes. For the Journttl. Mr. Editor?Can you inform the readers of the Journal whether the ret duction in the duty 'on sugar, tea, coffee, and 6piccs, which took place on the 1st of January, w:s iutended for the-benefit of the general consumers, or only for the spockets of "the ring"?the retailers. The reduction'of fifteen cents a pound duty on tea, one and quarter cents on sugar, and two cents a pound duty on coffee, with a large addition to the free list on spices, shoufd'in the common course of trade, catisc some lit ? ' en! I tie reduction in me price 01 mese articles to the purchaser by "the small." It might not perhaps be a bad idea for Bome of our dealers in these articles to advertise (hat they recognize the rights of buyers to some bf the benefits of this apprdximatioh to frco trade.? The reduction may be but a trifle, but it gives promise'that it may ere long to be "beautifully less" and more benefit to the pockets of Consumers. The GrEat American Question. ?The Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, having been attacked by the New Era, avails himself of the right to answer to pour a terrific broadside in the consolidation hulk of the Radicals. The article is long, but the conclusion from his argumeut is thus given: This Political Armageddon of America is yet to be dccided-not on battle-fields, but in the forum, on the hustings, by the press, and at the polls. The contest is now waging, and in it is involved the greatest living issues at present before the people of evsry State and section, and the greatest that will be before them for years to come. It is?Centralism-Empire; and on the other, the Sovereign Right of t in ii* I . f iiocui ceir govermeni oy me reopio or the several States ou this Continent. To achieve the victory in this contest the freinds of our Free Institutions in every State of our Federal Union, from Maine, to California, from the Gulf to the Lakes, must make common cause. Joint efforts are necessary tor separate success.. As their common ancestors united iu 177G under the lead of Washington to establish this great Right, and then again iu 1800, under Jefferson to save it when imperiled; so now they must unite in patriotic action for its rescue and perpetuation. For success in the eiuggle they will need nc weapons but the j truths of history?the teachings of the i Fathers? and the parting admonition 1 of Jackson. Yours most resbeotfullv. " r A. II. Stephens. Hint to our Policemen.?Judge Hammond, the newly elected Mayor of Atlanta, is evidently a firm believer in the practice of moral suasion by the police. The following extract is taken from a passage in his inaugural address on the duties of the pol.ee: "If a man is seen to stagger on the street, instead of arresting him and degrading him by carying him to the callaboose, approach him kindly and influence hiwj if possible, to go to his residence or hotel, and in all such cases act in good faith the part of a brother, and so conduct yourself toward th< so who fall into your hands, either from ! folly or crime, that citizens and strangers will feel that their highest protection is the presence of policemen." ' TnE BpMBAfcDMENT Of. PARIS ? Dr. Kussefll, writing to tliof London Times, from Yotftallies, on tho 14th of December, for the third time reiterates the statements communicated by Count Voq Bismarck in his famous interview with a New York World coirospo^dcnt on the 21st of November, The *World says: "Those journals which have made themselves unhappy about that remarkable dispatch, which was republished in all the English aud many of the Continental journals, may be interesting in readiugthe following passages from this letter of Dr. Russell: The army of the Crown Prince and the army of the Crown Prince of Saxony are encamped round a city which was not likely to make any defence at all. The first idea as to Paris was that it would surrender when it was surrounded; the second, that it would yield after a short term -of privation; the third, that it would stfccoihb when a few shells had ' fallen Into it. Then it was resolved to try starvation, pure and simple, and various periods wore tirbif 1 rr o/.loAta/l f.\nr Ol Alnrhfl. nrffifl IIUIHJ OV,lViV/i>VU IUUIJ Ciaj ? weeks?as the time daringlwhich the city might hold out. The councils of the German chiefs seem to huve been undecided as to the bombardment. * * * Among those who were accused of prolonging the anxieties of Germany and the sufferings, or, at any ' rate, eodur. ancc of the army, was Count Bismarck. It was said in Germany that he opposed the bombardment. The ImperiaJ Chancellor denied the soft impeachment.? His oounscl is not sought in 'ifao Military Cabinet, and the military members of it are alono responsible for the attack of the armies and the measures adopted by them. Count Bismarck does not incur' any censare which may bo directed against their operation in the fieid or but of it. You see that the' German papers at last contain a retraction of the .1 a-i r\ t> i. _ iueorjr ium vouni ?>ismarc& is muung those who tire opposed to the bombardmeDt cf Paris. As I told you, the Chancellor is -quite of the other way of thiokiogj so is the army, so the German people. Put they do not know or consider all the difficulties in the way of their devoutly wished for ceusumation. Colonel Clarciuont, now Major General, with local rank, dined with the King yesterday, and was graciously received. But I do not learn that he is at all inclined to thick Paris will soon he starved out, oris it in bad heart.'* * * Through a rift in a elould of.tnin I see the French bnsily engaged 6n a new battery, about eight hundred or a'Thousand in front of the entrenched redoubts below Valerien. They Will soon he in a position to shell Versailles, and to command the roads near at hand if they go on at their present rate of active defence. Startling Homicide.?Our community was thrown into unwonted excitement on Monday morning lust, by the intelligence that Cupt. Georgo Butler had been killed by a young man named Winslow 'Hamilton. Capt. George Butler, who, having spent the greater part of his manhood in the West, returned to South Carolina after the close of the warj and two years ago settlcdinour District, on the Savannah ltiver, near the plantation of Kx Gov Pickens. Winslow Hamilton is quite a young Aran. scarcely grown, the sou of one of Capt. Butler's neighbors. Between T?Ir. Hamilton, the father, ami Capt. Butler there arose on Sunday evening last a quarrel, in the yard ol the former. The son rushed jfrom the house, took part in the altercation, and ending by shooting Capt Butler dead. The latter was a gcntlcmam of high character, and though not so generallywell known among us as the rest of his family was popular and beloved. His remains have been taken to Greenville, his birth-place, for interment. Young Hamilton has not been arrested. Eilyfitld Advertiser. Legal Decisions.?The Supreme Court of the Third District of New York has recently decided that prices current 'published in a newspaper for' publio information, and for 'general nnriwiemi nVfl nH mtstiihln in #>Vi<$Grie& to f ? ? prove tho market value of ?rain at a speciGed time. The same Oourt also dtrcHed that the drawer of a cheek is to be treated as a principal debtor, andis not discharged by any neglect of the holder in not making duo presentment, or in not giving notice of dishonor, unless he has suffered loss or injury thereby, and then only to the exteut of his actual loss. It was further decided that the holder of a check has the day after its receipt in which to make presentment, and that, therefore, the payee of a check wire not guilty of neglect in not presenting the check on the day of its receipt at the Bank which suspended ou the next day. The Coort also decided that the giving of a check is not payment, unless by express agreement, and that the original indebtedness remains, and can be recovered by the proper action at law. The German works Around Paris. Beginning at u point on the heights above Sr. Denis, and consequently north of Paris, the German semi-circle of batteries extend in a south-western All-option tn tlin town of Arcendfoil. on the northern bank of the river nppsiie the peninsular on which Fort Valerian stands. The line then continues across the river to Columbes, nearly opposite Gcnnevilliers, whence it cout;Uucs in a southerly direction to Garchc-(?) opposite Fort iVlont Valerian. It then takes a southeast course; passing between St. Cloud end Versailles to the heights of Meudon, whetc it faces the southern sfortresses of Paris. The batteries bavo now a shorter range. From Meiidon, vthieh is opposite Fort Issy, the line exffend3 eastward to Clamart, opposite Fort Vanvrc; thenoe to Fontenay aul Itoses, opposite Fort Montrouge, and continues eastward opposite Forts Bicetre, Ivry and Charenton, turning at the peninsula of St. Maur, the scene of Ducrot's late sortie, and runs in a northward direction epposite Forts Negent and Rosdj. S. ( mS : ; v *. Tfi<! Demoratic Victory in Geob6tA.?^Sonie of our exchanges are exercising their wits in ordtfr to arrive at a just interpretation of the/,triumph of the Democratic party in Geotjgia. In our view it is <not hard to construe the political result which has been received with so much satisfaction by the intelligent minds of the South. Georgia has returned to those legitimato influences that control States whenever a norniul state of things prevails in communities. The brains and virtue of the Commonwealth have re-asserted , 'their rightful s<tay, and the Empire State of the South places herself side by side with the Empire State of the North and return to ohccrful aud wholesome self-government. The triumph of the Democratic party in Georgia is the triumph of the better and wiser elements of the community. The waves of Democratic triumph in North Carolina have touched us on the North, and now ffcc waves of a kindred victory reach us on the South. Let us in South Caroliua take heart from-these neighboring triumph's. Let the enrneat men of the minority keep their faith. We oppose to reigning party as at warfare with the moral 'and material interests of the State. We'uphold the banber of a discreet but resolute opposition. We have had a lost cause in the past. In the future there is a' cause to be gained by th'^e "wlio: shall keep thdmseivcs unspotted from the corrupt aud degrading influences that now prevail.?F/iomix.

A Man Drowned While Dei no Bavtized?At Sand Hill, Ky , Dec. 4th a sad accident oourrcd. A few weeks since Dr A. P. Pownull united with the Christian Church, and Sunday was appointed as the day of his baptism. lie requested his pastor, the Bev. J. B. Hough, to.p rfcrni the rite At the appointed hour a large number of pcrsous hssi mbled on the banks of Crook Creek, .the pi?ce chosen tor the immersion. After staging and prayer Mr. Hough entered the water, leading, thfe doctor, and the descent being very gradual they were obliged to proceed some distjrocc from the shore in order to reach a sufficient depth, but suddenly both were seen to go down, having stepped over a bank concealed l)y th'e water; both soor. rose to the surface, and Mr. Hough regained the bank, but the doctor, bciog unable to swim, was swept by the current ufcdeT a floodgate only a short distance below, every exertion was made to save him, but in vain. The body was soon after found and.brought ashore amid the most heartrending 'screams frcia his young wife and friends. Indionation Meeting in Spartanburg.?The Spartanburg Reyu'di enn, in its last issue, says : Qnite a large number of citizens were in town on Sale day. We.were er'nd to hear an almost universal exnrc-sion of sincere condemnation of the many recent outrages that have occurred in our county. After the usual sale* by the "Sheriff were completed, n public meeting was bold in flio Court House, which was addressed ?y Cnhujel Evans, D. R Duncan and Hon. R. M. Smith. A Committee, appointed to prepare resolutions, expressive of the sense of the meeting, reported, the.following, which were unanimously adopted : Rt&olvrtl, That we, as law abiding citizens of Spartanburg County, do look with abhorrence and condemnation upon tho recent outrages against law And order perpetrated in our county, and we do feel it to be the duty of every citizen, to use all effortp, singly or unitedly, in their power to arrest the perpetrators, and put an end to subh a spirit of iisregard of law and life. This is a step in the right direction, And we trust that similar meetings will be held in every township in the county. A Washington letter says: ''A Western Republican senator Rays he is seriously considering the advisability of introducing a bill in Congress to again reconstruct North Carolina. He declares that tho course of the Democrats in that State in attempting to overthrow the old State government which Congress set in motion by ifa. peaching Cdvernor Holden fully warrants such legislation. It is doubtful, however, notwithstanding all this talk, if anything is ever introduced Possibly it may ,go as far as the Tennessee case, a bill for just such a purpose having been introduced a year ago, and remained dormant in tho reconstruction committee ever sitide." % --f>&W ' ?
