lb Jwrualt gTgTaLKXAXDKR, Proprietor. CAMDEN, S. C., NOVEMBER 21.1878. 'A Tempest in a Tea Pot." United States Deputy Marshal Demus Browntield arrived on Friday evening last from Charleston as full of orders, as an egg is of meat. Soon this confiding official had it circulated that the wrath of the "best Government that the world ever saw,' which|liHd been'pent up since election duj was to be let loose in all its fury. The voters, free white u>en of Kershaw, were to learn that he was the representative of the greht flag and that the stripes would and could b< soon applied whenver a single star upon it was dimmed |by the cloud oi aiso' bedience. Sure enough Dcmui soon began bis arrests, and a number of out citizens have been bound over. What is all of this for? Has their been anj disturbance ? Has blood been shed 1 Have the polls been destroyed ? No nothiug of the sort, but in its stead one of the most peaceable, orderly and quiel elections ever held anywhere in America. Not a single disturbance, no riot, or breaking of the peace. Still in spite of all of this our citizces are dragged liko so 'many criminals before a United O?o?oo rVmmlaeinnpr to POVe bond UDOC UlfUl^a VV?uuiiuwivm?. ? a the oath of some perjured villain. It doesn't hurt us, but right will prevail, and as sure as God lives we will make some of you driok deep the cup of perjury, and as you drain the bitter dregs, you will find that gall and worm-wood are no delicacies. A Brute. Can any one imagino a more fiendish brute than the man Jof the New York Commercial Advertiser who penned the following lines. They are taken from that paper : "But after all Hampton was not born to bo killed from his mule. He is much more likely to be bounced from the stage of life in a different style. .President Hayes, mild-mannered magistrate as he is when not too often crossed in his obligations to the Constitution of the United States, may be compelled to hang him as high as Haman if he don't look sharp. Abler traitors in the same State were menaced with the cord by Gen. Jackson forty odd years ago, and wo believe it was a subject of regret with the old General to the end of his days that he failed to settle Calhoun aud his crotchets in this summary way. It would have saved inland seas of blood to the succeeding generation of his countrymen." The negroes in Columbia who rejoiced ooer the accident to our beloved f nnnr lrrnnranf. creatures VJUVCJUU1) TV VI V who knew no better, and were misled by sock fiends as the man ef the Commercial Advertiser; bat when it comes to him, an educated being in haman shape, we hardly knew what to compare him to. The most brutal savage in the wilds of Africa could nor be guilty of a more vicious, low, mean and contemptable utterance. We will wager that he never* knew what truo manhood was. It is such low born bcing3 as he is who have kept alive the bitterness between the sections. lie is too cowardly to coma and see for himself the condition of affairs, here but accepts as truo the reports of the lying, thieving carpet-bagger. If it had been lef to such croatures as he is to put down the rebellion, we could all have stayed at home and sent the old women and children out to run tbcm away: Oh, coward, villain, low born brute and savage, go back into your den and let us hear of jou no more.

Louisiana sends up a solid Demo cratic delegation, and it has at last been - - - - ? ? .t- \r: definitely ascertained mat iuc mwuuii Democrats mako a gain of three. The "Washington Post thinks that the outrage of a "solid South" consists in the fact that she is now governed by her natural owners instead of thieving carpet-baggers. Arrests for violation of the election law are reported from several counties, and in every intance the parties have given bond for their appearance, and in turn have indicted tbeir accusers for perjury, who, except in a few instanoes, were unable to give bond and were sent to jail to await trial. There was a report circulated in New York the other day that the body " * m ?

A dispatch from Calcutta says tha there are many indications which seem to warrant the belief that an early attack on Ali Musjid is intended. The transmission of telegrams concerning military movements is forbidden, ami it is mora than probable [that if commissariat arrangements permit Ali Musjid, Kurnm Fort and .Candabar will be seized this winter. Tho Ameor has not yet shntm the faiot&t tfa&fe 60 sub*-1 g ? Governor McOlellan's thanksgiving proclamation recommends that in every church in Xew Jersey the opportunity be given to every one to make au offering of money for the relief of the fever sufferers in the South, both as a thank offering to God for abundant mercies towards as and a pledge of our fraternal Jove to our afflicted fellow-citiiens of tho South. - it The Iodian newspapers state that aiu camels arriving at Qaettah are detained to be used in the advance on Afghanis-1 ' tan if necessary. Ail officers on leave 1 here have beeu forraorlly recalled. The 1 commander-in-chief, who is at Rawi! Pindse, appears to be certain that hos tilities will commence on the 20th instant. The Ameer has withdrawn two 1 regiments from Candahar and ordered the Governor of the Pisheen valley, 1 near Quettab, not to resist the British advance. The Radicals throughout the North , are howling over th* "solid South," and in turn waut to make a "solid ' North" to pit against tho South. They even assert that Ihe South, though small in representation, will soon control the whole government again as they did before the war. One woald infer, j from the way they are gbing on, that j they are afraid we will soon have them down and treating them as roughly as ' they have used used us for the past twelve years. The trial of Colooal Law, Hon. E. W. Cannon, Mr. Outlaw and the three Mr. Kelleys, for violation of the election law in Darlington which was set for Wednesday last, was indefinitely postponed by the Radicals to some future day, which will doubtless never arrive. The notorioua Radical runner, Julius Faaborg, the originator of these cases, will, without doubt, find himself safely housed in the penitentiary r.cxt court for stealing tobacco. Good ridj v.-4 uauLO tu uavi tuuviau* A special dispatch from Mount Sterling, Ky, to the Courier^Journal says that a riot took place there on the 10th instant, in which from twenty to thirty shots were fired. Two men were instantly killed apd three others wounded. Marshal Young in attempting to quiet 1 the disturbance was mortally wounded Two of the rioters, George and William Howard, were woanded, one dangers ously; John Thompson, a clerk and disinterested party, was shot and instantly killed while in the store in which he was employed, the ballet being fired through a window of the store. Three of tha rioters have been arrested. The sheriff and prase aro on the trail of the others. An attempt was made to assassinate King Humbert, of Italy, on the 17th inst. The King and Queen arrived in Naples at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and were enthusiastically received bj immenso crowds. Several persons iu the Strada Carbonara presented a petition to their Majesties. A man ut that moment rushed upon the King with a dagger, and succeeding in inflicting a scratch on his left arm, and slightly wounding Signor Carioli io tha thigh. The King displayed great coolness, and struck tho assassin on the head with his sword. Signor Carioli seized him by the hair, and the assassin was immediately taken to the nuardhouse. The QueeD and their son wtre in the carriage with the King, and displayed great courage. Tbc assassin's name is Giovanni Passnnaute. He says he doee "not like kings." Reuben Russell, a colored deeper* ado, was killed on the 18th inst., near Woods store, fourteen miles from Brunson,S. C. It seems that he bad committed an assault and battery on the child of another colorod man, and a warrant was taken out for hii arre3t. Messrs. David Gohabcn and Long, with another party, were appointed to execute the same. Russell modo a desperato resistance, shooting one of the posse through the hand and inflicting a dangerous wound with a sword on the other.

The farmers in this section have about all finished gathering their crops, and as & general thing are very well satisfied with the returns ot their labor, but not so well are they satisfied with the return salts of their cotton. So it will be until farmers lesm that half the number of aeres planted in cotton would pay them better, or. to speak more plainly, give them more money, provided they would have their meat bouses and graineries at home and not in the city of Baltimore, or some western city. There are a few farmors here that say they never have bought a single pound of bacon or barrel of flour, and they are men that have, and arc raising, good largo families.

The planting of small grain is now , tho order of Ibo day, nnd I am glad to hear so many ray they are planting ^ more acres than they have Bince the war. That is the road back to ante- / bellum duys.

( V?nm 'Rncoall PI 1' I UUL 1I UOOVU * AM.W The efficiency of the '"Free Public Schools" in the State of South Carolina depends very much on the prompt and faithful dischr rge of the duties of the Trustees of the School Districts. Their first duty is to provide suitable school houses in thsir districts. Has this duty been p?; formed ? So far as ray observation extends, it has Dot. Besides the authority conferred on the Trustees by the school law, the same law makes it the first duty of the Trustees ''to provide suitable <chool houses in their districts." What would be thought of a merchant who would buy a stock of goods without having first procured a suitable store house for tho reception of his goods ? Or a fanner who would 1 - V *- C JJ. l.

It looks to me like putting the cart before the horse. It looks like taking the nearest route tolbe public crib, regardless of the public good. If the appropriation for publio schools, were made for the , sole benefit of the school teachers then it would be wrong to expend any por- i tion of the school fund in building school houses, or for any other purpose < than the payment, of teachers snlaries. But if the money was appropriated to ' educate the ohildren ; then give us suitable and comfortable houses, where the children can learn and not be kept , shivering and freezing in a little log | shantey where the "young idea" would ( freeze in the bud, and refuse to vegetate in such un inhospitable climc.
