CAMDEN, S. 0., DECEMBER 19.1S78. 1 Our Stricken Governor. , The condition of Governor Hampton ( is regarded as less favorable, although | no serious change has taken place since yesterday. He rested well again last night, and retained nourishment as usual this morning. Unless hemorrhage occurs, the prospect for his recovery is fair. Still there are statements made which do not encourage this belief, and the worst may be feared for several days to come.?Xtw3 and Courier 17th. Query. To vmUAiinn oT lif,? so lieht in this JL0 |;4V?iVV?ivi* V ..p country that a gentleman, sitting at his fireside, can be rudely assaulted and killed if it were not for the superior strength of the party assailed ? Is there no protection for such assaults, and are we, where our roof is our own, to be subjected to such enormous indignities ? Is the arm of the law withered, or has it been so terribly paralyzed by the accustomed abuse that it daro cot maintain what it has a right to do ? Are officers of the peace to sit silently by and see such crimes perpetrated without notice ? If so, our laws are a sham our courts an imposition and our lives nothing. Such things have taken place io this community, in tbe time wnen men live, whose memory runneth not back to the contrary. "Inter arma leges silent" ?but they should not be so now, and we call upon our officers to do their duty. Don't Hurry Too Fast. Our Legislature, now in session, are devoting very earnestly the time to their duties. Finder cracking and nosegays forui but a stnall part of the programme; and there is a general spirit among the Legislators to vio with each other in seeing who can do most. This is very commendable; and a visitor will at once be struck with the earnest desire on all oliloc tn Imrrv nn and bo done. But ?'wvw ? J ~t really, we aro fearful lor the short time allotted them now, by their resolution to adjourn sine die on the 23d inst., that many bills will be reported and hurriedly passed, without proper care and consideration. In this desire, too, to economize, would it Dot be well to take up only such things as are imperatively needed, and giving to them a careful scrutiny make them laws? Knock into ? .. AmUluuukaM 1 riul #firstP.ni. amend or abolish the militia law and establish a uniform fence law, witb such protection for the game of our country as will make hunters respect at least the rights of parties and the same of tho people. These are crude ideas that strike us forcibly, and we ^desire to call them to the attention of our law makers. Id the meantime, while making a digest of these matters, bear in mind that too much baste is often conducive to waste. newsTtems. A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Dakkah says that it is reported that the Ameer has blown the command* ant of Ali Musjid from a cannon's mouth. 1 Our colored Congressman, Smalls, ' bos made application, through his coun* ' sel, to Chief Justice Waite for a writ of 1 error in his case to the Supreme Court. ( He hopes thus to get a new trial and s keep out of the penitentiary. 1 A few nights since tho water cotton 8 gin and grist mill of Mrs. Mary Simkins, j situated on Horso Creek, South Caroli- . na, was entirely destroyed by fire. With the buildings and machinery were consumed five bales of cotton and about . ? five thousands bushels of cotton seed The burning was iDcendiary. The life insurance companies have got sick of Memphis risks, and have ^ withdrawn all their agents.

United StatrB BC bonds. T In Mew York the Third avenue Railroad Company have refused to reinstate al the suspended car-drivers. A formal al strike took place on the 16th. About ^ forty cars were kept running, driven ^ by new hands under police protection. It is reported that Farrell, the second 0 leader of the strikers, has been arrested and clubbed bj the police. Prayers were offered in the churches ^ of Richmond Va.. on Sunday for the ai recovery of Governor Hampton. The ot State newspaper, in suggesting the movement, says : "We venture to believe that there will not be found in T the city so much as one individual not tc glad to join in the tribute thus made al to the groat man who lies at death's fi door, a man than whom wo have not fe another his like; who has discharge it faithfully the great tasks laid opoo hior s< and who has laced obloquy, danger and w doath itself in his country's service, tl and with calm front ana steady mind s< pursued the rough road of duty and of u Two men, named Ke.tehum and cl ditchell accused of stealing stock, and co vho receutly. killed a herder named th Stevens, who was trying to arrest them, ce vere taken from the sheriff of Custer d< j'ouoty, Nebraska, by armed men, who (1 ;icd them to a tree and burned them to si death.

She was in a state 1 of unconsciousness from 2.30 a. m until the time of her death. The Grand Duchess was the third child and socond daughter of Queen Victoria. She was j born April 25th, 1S43. Her father, P the late Prince Albert, died on -Safur- e c day, December I4tfi, 18G1, a remarkable c coincidence. a Tiie only premium on gold now at New York is substantially not on the Ij * i * mi metal at all, but upon gold paper, xnai ] is to say, as the secretary of the treasury I has stopped the issue of gold certificate, f the banks hoard the latter, the public r offers a small premium for them, on ac- ^ count of their superior convenience to ] coin. The treasury pays out for called r bonds and interest some $36,000,000 s in gold within the next four w^eks, to say nothing of the regular business of r resumption. For the purpose of pay- t ing duties, or buying exchange, of i course the gold paper is as good as the J1 gold, and much less expensive to count.

Wilmot, now at Boston from ^ the Mediterranean, reports that on the first of Aughst last, on her voyage from a New York to Trieste, when the vessel n was near some small island in the 0 Grecian Archipelago, two Greek sea- ? men attacked the mate, fatally wound- r ing him and afterwards attempting to | kill tho boatswain and a seaman, both of s whom hud their skulls fractured. The ? Cupt. fired upon the mutineers, wound- | ing one, when they both jumped over* ^ board and were probably drowned. The h wounded men were left at Malta. The 1 mutineers probably intended capturing ? the vessel aud running her in among j tbo islands. ii Dogs i.v Georgia.?For the past ten f years the dog has been an issue before 'j the Georgia Legislature, the sheep own- ^ era making a vigorous effort to thin out the curs and protect thoir flocks by f taxing the canine. Two years ago a ii tax passed the House, but it was kilicd ? in the Senate on constitutional grounds ^ The constitutional convention which ? .

Every man who fails g to return his dog for taxation, according to the provisions of the bill, is to be Itable to of {fin days in the chaiu- f, gang, and the State will pay 50 cents h for the scalp of every such cur. a b Affairs jij Europe and the East are t( quietingdown.

The 6uperin- AC :nd?nt put the fire out before much amage was done. \\ hue the superin. sndent was absent from his house, the lc egroes entered it and beat his wife Ar ;verely, and compelled her to show Ki] ?ein where her husband's money was.

Governor with any in: rroper con iuct in th<> matter of the ir lorsrment of bonds of the Northeaster Railroad Company are vile and malic lant slanders." The minority repor igned by Messrs. Hammond and Hun >?-r, says : "Wo do, therefore, brand t i libel the insinuation that the dcterm lation of Governor Colquitt to iodors he bonds was induced by any sinisu Dflucnce or unworthy motive."

Io fact, one c hem, a Florida Republican, who noi lolds a place in the treasury departmen era, is reported to have boasted th.i he 74 "little jokers" which he de osited in the ballot box of which h ras the guardian carri-d the State f laves. Of course a Republican Iruu rt 1876 does not justify a Democrati mud in 1878; but, when the tw ickcts are compared, it will he seen tha he Republicans hnve no reason for tb irtuous horror they are manifesting For fraudulently putting seventy our of these Republican "little jokers 1 the bullot box in Florida in 187* ne of the inspectors of election "hai o leave the Stat"," to us.t his owi rords?that is to say, he was threatenei ritli an indictment and tiial for thi raua J biiu he suuuii'/linfflj; ani amc to Washinging, whero lie obtainei n appointment in the treasury depart icnt, which he still'holds, or did unti ery rocenily.
