THE JOURNAL?
CAMDEN, MARCH 2, 1S71.
The Acme or rnljuiious RTohbcry.
The latest as well as tlie largest
swindle, attempted by the IIousc of
Representatives is the Greenville Rail ,
Road Robbery. This is no more nor
less than an attempt to add Two Mil
h'ons Dollars to the debt of the State,
and ten per cent to the already enormous
State tax. It is a direct and
plain attempt to procure a new issue of
Bonds of the State, to aid the Green*
villc Bail Boad King.
From a reliable source wc I earn that
this Bing about a year ago bought
enough stock in the GreenvHlc and
Columbia Bail Boad to coutTol it, for
the sum of $300,000. After fiading
out that they, could not run the road,
they endeavored to sellout to the South
Carolina Bail Bond Company for 8500,P00,
but as the Greenville Bail Boad
a Company bad a floating debt of 8750,000,the
negotiations failed, because
the South Carolina Boad did not) feel
like assuming this indebtedness.
Hhus-it will appear, that this Bill is
a barefaced effort to swindle the State
out of two millions dollars, to enrieh a
n " ~ 2A !- r.J ftvonorlinnN
Jitlirjj Wllliu it la uuuuuuij vavwvw
]y doubtful, whether the people of the
- up country or any other seotion, would
be benefitted in the slightest degree,
since the Ring could sell out the Bonds
end pocket the money,, and no process
of luw could rcaoh them or the
Greenville Road, because everything
it owns is already covered by mortgages
to double its market value.
And then, look at the manner in
vhiah our Representatives betrayed the
interests of their constituents. Messrs.
Adamsoh an l Gaither voted "yea"
on the passage of the RBI1, while Gary
shirked it altogether. Are the peopfe
of Kershaw going to call their public
servants to a strict aocount. or are they
still po infatuated and blinded as to allow
this and other sueh instances of
: flagrant abuse of tbeir sacred trusts, to
pass unnoticeir merely because persons
differing in political ?pinion call their
attention to the fact ?
Is their reason still so perverted,
that they eannot see that the entire
country is prostrate in poverty, and
that the enormous taxation is one of
the chief causes of this prostration ??
Do they still shut their eyes to the
fact that these measures are passed by
open and notorious bribery, and that it :
is probable that Adamson, Gaither
and Gary have sold their votes, or else
that they have been deceived by this
Ring into voting fur this Bill, and if
they have so been deceived, that they
are unworthy Representatives, because
no man with the least grain of sense or
veason could fur a moment believe that
the passage of the Bill would be productive
of good to the people. One of
these two propositions is bound to be
true.
Let the arraigned betrayers of our
interests answer the charge !
Our only hope is in the Senate and
Governor Scott. The Senate is much
more conservative than the House, and
Governor Scott has repeatedly said
that he will veto this Bill, and that if
it is passed over his veto, he will refuse
to sign the bonds, and will apply to the
courts if necessary, to restrain other
?Sicials from Biguing or issuing them.
The whole State is now looking to
Governor Scott, to keep hfej word and
fulfil his pledges.
Peace Between France and Germany?From
tho telegram of the
.. . Emperor of Germany it will be seen
-- that tho preliminaries of peace between
Germany and France have been arranged.
It is likely that peace will soon be
formally announced. This event will
be received with gratification by tho
civilized world. The duel bctwecu
two great powers has thus terminated.
We need not comment upon the vast
expenditure of Fife and treasure that
this war has occasioned. Certain it is
that the saino passions rage in the human
breast now that did centuries ago.
Certain it is that we arc yet far from
the peiiod when nations shall no longer
engage in wars. France needs peace.
She has been s idly punished?her
military power completely broken in
seven crcutful months. She has now
to endure loss of place, loss of prestuje,
loss of territory, and loss of inooey.
She has a heavy burden to bear. But
bear it she must, aud to work let her go.
fo the arts of peace must proud France
now devote herself, and fortunate will
it be for her if her leaders shall be
found wise enough to establish for
her a government that may be found
to be wise, moderate and economical.
Columbia fhoenix.
Poisonous Confkctionery.?The
official chemist of Dublin has recently
made a report on 123 specimens of
coufectionery, purchased at thirteen
establishments in that city. Those
manufactured at three establishments
were pure, and those obtained at the
other tea shops contained poisonous
pigments and other impurities. Out of
forty articles tioted yellow, only two
were colored with saffron, all the others
ooutaiuing chromate of lead. Same of
the speciincnls contained sulphide of
mercury, or vcrmillion. There seems
to be no doubt, it is stated, that these
uiiueral colors act as slow poisons.

From the Chesterfield Democrat.
Pursuant to notice, a Mass Meeting
of the citizens of Chesterfield County
was held at Chesterfield Court House,
on Monday 20th inst. Maj. J. C. Coit
was called to the chair, and Messrs.
Duvall and Miller requested to act as
fSecretares. The Chairman after a short
[ address stated the object of the meetingwhich
wos to give the people of Chcs
terfield an opportunity of puWiciy expressing
their just indignation at the
unwarrantable action of the House of
Representatives, in ejcctine from their
seats Messrs. M. I. llough and B. C.
Evans, the lawfully elected members
and choice of the people, and seating
in their stead, those whom they had
so positively rejected at the ballot box,
and who they never recognize as their
Representatives. Mr. M. I. Hough
being called on, in a forcible and spirited
manner showed how trickery and
fraud, were carried out by Chesterfield's
most inveterate enemy, K. James Donaldsob,
in conjunction with a few others
' - - ? ' i r ?i .
of the same stamp, baa taicen irom toe
people the rights of the ballot box.
On motion of Captain T. F. Malloy,
the preamble and resolution adopted at
a meeting held at Cheraw were endorsed.
On motion Captain W. L. J. Reid, a
committee of five were appointed to
draw up a petition to the Legislature,
requesting them to do justice to the
people of Chesterfield, by removing
from their seats Philip Singleton and
Wm. Littlefield, and replacing the
lawfully elected members, Messrs. M. I.
Hough and B. C. Evans.
During the absenco of the committee
spirited addresses were made by Mr.
E. F. Malloy, Wm. Spencer and others,
and every man present seemed to feci
that he had been most shamefully
cheated out of that right held most
dear by a freeman, the right of the
ballot box. The committee now offer*
ed the following petition which was
unanimously adopted ;
trt the Honsi? op Ret>re*
lAlAIAVkl *v
SENTATIYES 0* TIIE STATE OF SOUTH
Carolina.
Whereas, by the constitution of the
State afuresaid, it is declared that the
right of the people to petition for the
removal of wrong aud grievances per.
pctrated upon them shall never be
abridged ; whereas, we, the people of
Chesterfield County, feel that a great
wrong has been imposed upon us in the
late action of the House of Representas
tives aforesaid, in removing from their
scats Mess, llough" and Evans, and
placiug in their steads one Philip Singleton
and one Wm. Littlefield, thercs
by depriving us of tho constitutional
right of electing our own Representatives,
therefore, we, tho people of
Chesterfield County, in mass meeting
assembled, do petition ihjvt body to
reconsider their action in the cass aforcsaid,
and allow us tho constitutional
privilege of electing our own members
to that body; if there should bo any
doubt in the minds of the members of
that body us to the justness of their
late action, and as tho constitution ex*
prcssly declares that where thdrc is no
Representation there shall be no taxa*
tion, therefore, wo, the tax payers in
I itio ofnm.-uiH ennnt.v. feel tlint it is due
vnw jjf
to us as a constitutional right that wc
should be allowed a voice as to whom
should represent us iu jour body.

On motion of Captain T. F. Malloy,

the purpose of defiaying printing ex*

The same paper adds: With all the
had acts of the mysterious Ku?Klux,
we often hear of their doing some very
righteous deeds. The following is one:
Some time ago a white man in this
county determined to sell out and go
to Tenncssco. Among his effects we*e
a set of blacksmith's tods) which ho
sold to a colored man. It appears that
he was not satisfied with Tennessee,
and after a short sojourn there returned
to South Carolina. Soon after his
return he determined to get possession
of the tools again. Personating a Kus
Klux one night, be called at the colored
man's residence and orderediiim to
return tho tools to the white mau's
house. Everybody in this section uu<? j
hesitatingly obey Ku-Klur orders; so
tbe negro, soon after daylight the next
morning, delivered the tools as directed.
A few nigh's afterwards the white
man was called to his door, and there
he found about a dozen of tbe mysterious
Klan, who very politely informed
him in tho exact language he had used
to the negro, that unless he returned,
the blacksmith tools to the colored man
they wonld pay Uim a second visit. Of
course the man bod no idea of disobeying
such an order from tha^?urce,
consequently^ very eaflyt fou (oK
lowing morning, the tools returnee! to
tho negro. Wo have a number of similar
acts to record.
The Next CoNGRESS.-r-The fortysecond
Congress will meet on Saturday,
March 4th, at noon. Thus far, says u
Washington letter, no Republican can.
didates for Speaker or Clerk have been
spokcu of, and Messrs. Blaine and
McPhereon will be re.elected. There
is quite a spirited contest for Posfmaster
of the House, while candidates for
Sergcaut-at-Arms and Doorkeeper are
also named by the llopublicans. The
Democrats will probably throw their
complimentary vote for Hon. Lewis
Campbell, of Ohio or Hon. Chas. A.
Eldridge, of Wisconsin. Nothing is
now heard of the revenue reform
movement in the organization of the
House, though on a direct vote it is
quite certain that the anti-tariff members
will have a clear majority. The
Democrats in the present House number
71, and in the new House 10G, beiDg
17 less than a majority.
Wilmington Slav.
Senator elect Vance, of North Carolina,
has quitted Washington and gone
discouraged in his effort to nro
"v^ J r-? ,
cure the removal of his political disabilitics,
so as to enable him to take his
seat in the Senate on the 4th of March,
It is said that he will resign, and in the
event of his doiDg so, General Ransom
would undoubtedly be chosen to succeed
him. Ransom received within
itwo of as many votes- as Vance in the
convention which nominated the latter;
was a strict State Rights man before
the war; a staunch- Confederate during
the war, but his disabilities have been
removed, and be could take the scut if
elected.
The Greenville aud Columbia Railroad
swindle passed the House by the
large vote of 77 to 23. This is astounding?or
rather it ought to be, so long
as we retain anything of our old faith
ia the average purity and nobleness of
human nature.
The bill uow goes to the Senate, and
our Columbia correspondent says there
is a prospect of its passago by that
body !That
is to say, to speak plainly, and
that is the exact way we propose to
speak, it is declured probable that the
Legislature of our State will wrongI

to give the State's guarantee to

Col. John T. Monroe, Kx-Mayor of
New Orleans. The Republican, in announcing
tba sad event says :
"Colonel Monroe was Mayor of New
Orleans at the time of its capture by
Gen Butler, by whoso order he was
removed from office and imprisoned for
a long time. Subsequently he was released
and made Savannah his home,
where he has carried on the business of
a stevedore. His quiet, unobtrusive
manners attracted around him a warm
circle of friends, who heard with regret
that he died from an overdose of laudanum.
A prominent ruaso 1, he was
cared for by tho brethren of the order,
who were with him in his expiring moments
and took oarc of him when the
spirit left the body. His remains will be
sent to New Orleans by his brethren.
Fearful Tornado in the Southwest.?a
special despatch to th#
Nashville Americav, dated Memphis,
February 20, says the tornado of Friday
last was much more destructive
along (he line of the Memphis and
Charleston .Railroad than at first reported.
It passed from Heleoa to
PocahoDtas at tho rate of sixty miles
an hour, destroying twenty^-two houBes
in fifteen minutes, as was the case at
Helena. One house was turned oyer,
but nobody injured. Another dwell*
ing was lilted from its foundation and
carried into tbo Small Hatchio River.
Another was nearly demolished, its
occupants escaping through a window.
The fences aud houses for miles in the
track of tho tornado wore destroyed.
Several persons were badly injured.
The loss to property at Pocahontas
reaches $20,000. At Iuka a number of
houses were demolshed and oue church
destroyed. A largo store and warehouse
opposite Helena, owned by Gov.
Alcorn, valued- at $25,000, was utterly
demolished.

is very liulc money in
circulation in St. Domingo, except
when a man-of-war is in the harbor,
and in market season. The whole business
of the island is conducted on a
system of barter. The farmer for instance,
when be wants a yard of calico,
or a bottle of whiskey, gives in exchange
for it double its worth iu coffee
or rice, which is shipped by the trader
to Turk's Island aud St. Thomas.?
Some idea of the markets may bo obtained
from the following prices, which
howovcr, must not be taken either as
an index of the cost of living, or of the
wealth of the place. There are many of
them exorbitant, and were arranged to
suit the finances of the American Government.

some time in the seat of his predecessor
